Lenovo, which is partly owned by the Chinese government , is going to buy IBMs PC division. The "communists" are going to buy IBM PC division. This is so surreal.


Does anyone know about IBM's sorted history with the Nazis ?

Black explains that ultimately, IBM helped the Nazis carry through their policy of genocide. Without this assistance, Hitler’s regime would not have been able to carry through its extermination plan with such efficiency.

During a break, while paging through the Canisius College magazine I found a picture of President Truman at Cansius. I decided to find out the offical dates of his term online because I coudl not remember. I knew he dropped the atomic bomb but wasn't sure eaxctly if that was the beginning or the end of his presidency. I probably should know that but it has been replaced by some non-important computer trivia at this point.

My search lead me to the most random site I have ever encountered. The collection of data is so strange and totally non-related. There is also no information explaining it's conception, purpose, etc. Nonetheless, it is a really interesting blend of stuff. Check it out for yourself .


UPDATE: I just found the homepage here

Is anybody else freaked out that on Tuesday we can no longer take books out from the library. It appears to be really happening. I was thinking that seeing as the library is dead and we can't support the infrastructure, why not take a tiny portion of the money that would normally go there and offer free dial-up Internet service to all the people of buffalo. Then everyone could still have information, even if they can't afford the Internet, especially since computers cost as much as a television now.

Does anyone know if you can get dial-up service without paying for phone service because if you can't yet that could be a huge market.

An ontehr note, I was talking to (e:dan) last night who told me that he gets 230k using his sprint cellphone as a modem for his computer. that is what we are missing (e:chris) .

They have tasty food and drinks at hardware. Sorry we missed you (e:ajay)

Check out my hat (e:terry) made it. It is warm but really big. Like I need dreadlocks to fill it.
