...that he can “afford” faster downloads later. Loeb Associate Professor of the Natural Sciences David Parkes says that the increased efficiency afforded by Tribler and its allowance for users to pool their “currency” to help each other achieve quicker downloads make the new program preferable to BitTorrent and an apt choice for college students. “Presumably, most Harvard kids are using file sharing clients,” Parkes said. “I can only imagine that everyone is, and the idea here is to be able...
...many Democrats want deeper, quicker cuts. Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has just returned from Iraq. He was as impressed by the Iraqi military he saw as he was frustrated by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government. Citing improvements in the Iraqi forces, Levin says the U.S. can begin withdrawing troops in four months and cut the total number in half by mid-2008.

Unattached females--wisecracking, gutsy gals, not pathetic saps--are the heroine du jour in fiction, from...
...Operation Arrowhead Ripper has been much quicker off the mark - although any offensive that requires the buildup of 10,000 soldiers can hardly be lightning-fast. But more important, it is accompanied by a second, flanking operation south of Baghdad. Over the weekend, elements of the 3rd Infanty Division began sweeping through militant-infested areas like Salman Pak and Arab Jabour. This means the militants facing the American forces in Diyala can't run south for cover.
