...webmail also brings with it the tragic extinction of so many of telnet’s tricks, from stalking people with the finger command, the fortune and weather options as well as the ubiquitous “ph.” Also facing nearly certain death is the antiquated—but amusing—telnet “talk,” which, despite instant messaging, has survived intact to annoy anyone who is logged in for too long and makes it easy to send obnoxious banners to those folks worth disturbing. Webmail, meanwhile, leaves no user trail?...
...Administration claims the fighting should produce a swift, relatively painless victory, with Saddam gone in weeks. That's based largely on the presumption that his power is brittle, large segments of his army will surrender and his command will be decapitated before he can unleash his weapons of mass destruction. While outside experts say the war will probably go well, given U.S. air and technological superiority, they warn that the U.S. can't assume easy success...

...biggest sources of friction comes from the creation of the Afghan National Army, a U.S.- and French-trained force to be commanded by the president, not the defense minister. Weapons, munitions and gear are being flown into a U.S. airbase north of Kabul, unloaded onto Special Forces convoys and distributed directly to the ANA. Already feeling threatened by Washington's support for Karzai, last week's incident has cemented the Northern Alliance's view of itself as a forgotten partner. But the U.S. military is making no apologies. "President Karzai's personal security team will continue to exercise the level...
