...same time, it's hard to imagine the rebels handing over all their weapons. Regardless of the political pronouncement of their NATO-sensitive non-combatant leaders, many rank-and-file fighters in the National Liberation Army make no bones about the fact that their objective has been to create an Albanian enclave joined to Kosovo as part of a "Greater Albania." NLA commanders may persuade their men of the wisdom of standing down right now, but the idea of handing over their entire arsenal is unlikely to have much appeal to the fighters - particularly since NATO will presumably act more...
...shocks to their system. Static electricity, they say, has somehow made its way from their Palm cradles to their PCs during the HotSync process, which is where the two exchange and back up information. Result: fried motherboard. This appears to have happened enough times for San Francisco attorneys to file a class-action lawsuit last week.

...learned was that there are some really weird fetish newsgroups out there. About three hours into my Web-based research, I got distracted by an e-mail from a friend that seemed chock full of virus. The e-mail read, "Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice." I knew it was a virus because my friend's first language is English. Unfortunately, when I tried to open the attachment, my e-mail program detected the virus and wouldn't let me download it. I don't know why it draws the line...
