Douglas Coupland, author of 1991 classic "Generation X ".... I ran across his blog on the NY Times (Select section) http://coupland.blogs.nytimes.com/?oref=login Interesting and funny article about his naming Viktor & Rolf dresses" "The 13 dress names are composites formed from names of early 1950's Nevada nuclear test-drops of atomic bombs, random snatches of life in the digital world, and three-letter acronyms germaine to the modern world. They appear above mutant TV test patterns." His...

Strictly for geeks, but..... Remember the next time you perform an exaflop, which is a quintillion calculations per second, followed by the zettaflop, the yottaflop and the xeraflop, your computer liesuretime fun is owed to the need of the military to test nuclear bomb detonations. ______________________________________________ Military Supercomputer Sets Record "¢ By JOHN MARKOFF Published: June 9, 2008 SAN FRANCISCO "” An American military supercomputer, assembled from components...

Merlin I am floored to hear about the Nevada test to come... googled it... it's to happen June 2nd. They are calling it -- "The Divine Strake" http://www.casperstartribune.net/articles/2006/04/14/ne...8725714f005b7c5d.txt http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/bunker-buster-ready-fo...1/1143441331987.html "This will be the largest open-air chemical explosion we've conducted," said Darwin Morgan, a spokesman for the Energy Department's test site.

When and if the whole region becomes a combat zone about the time oil is going to totally run out the US will have a military logistical foothold in Israel. The question of nukes and the region has been on a boil for some time. It was the late Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin, who started his political career as an Israeli terrorist with the job of dynamiting British Army hospitals in Palestine, who finished his...

One of the more spectacular themes was (and happened to come) "Ready-Made." Hausman's father had produced the film "Silkwood," and when production shut down, the nuclear-reactor set was going to be tossed out. So Shawn and Eric flew to Texas and drove it back to New York in a 24-foot Ryder truck. Sex, of course, was an ongoing theme at Area. There was talk of something called "gay cancer," but AIDS wasn't yet feared. At either end of the women's bathroom, projectors were set up so that...

In the September 2001 issue of GQ, there is an article titled 'The AIDS Deniers'. It reports of a group that has splintered off of ACT UP in San Francisco and claims that HIV/AIDS doesn't exist. Absolutely ironic in that the original purpose of ACT UP was to bring attention to the crisis during the somnombulant Reagan Bush years. Basing their arguments on the now debunked theories of Berkeley biologist Peter Duesberg, the deniers claim that the illness and death is caused by amyl nitrate and...
