New Euro multicopter aims bitchslap at American X2, V-22
No no no, Airwolf has 'turbo boost' and Stringfellow Hawke.
(cue theme music and howl of chopper).
Airwolf, being the chuck norris of choppers, would totally own that bucket of bolts.
Dell to take on iPad with ton of tablets
Scatter gun...
Can't complain, let's see what pans out. If they fail it's not like it matters a great deal to me to be honest.
Myself I am quite intereted to see if they come out with a netbook sized ARM based thingy with a keyboard. Something like their proposed atom based Inspiron Duo thing.
2 out of 3 Android apps use private data 'suspiciously'
Time for a firewall app/mod
Oh wait, I don't need one because... I don't actually use a smartphone :P
Seriously though, would be developers should look into filtering packets on this device. Some sort of userfriendly personal 'firewall' might sell - of course you'd have to trust it... Be even better of course if it were completely free and open.
ACS:Law's mocking of 4chan could cost it £500k
Well, I would say it depends.
As you rightly say not all content on 4Chan is sufficiently disturbing to be considered NSFW...
BUT... let me just put it this way, would you want your superiors noting you had visited a place like 4Chan?
Anti-piracy lawyers' email database leaked after hack
In any case...
WTF is email doing on a webserver anyways?
US Navy says electric jet-flinger tech looking good
Scrap the air force
Why not scrap the air force and get rid of service rivalry?
As you say, you are an island nation. I am not saying get rid of the planes but put them all under the same banner.
You can't buy a lot of planes, might as well make sure your pilots can all take off and land them off flattops or land bases with the same ease.
Perhaps your landbased planes and crew (ie perhaps EWACS, long range bombers, transports) would integrate better if they were all under the same banner. Land based navy interceptors could still provide the same level of homeland defence albeit under a different name.
I mean, if they were all navy planes, what would it matter then? Might actually make admin easier. Might be cheaper.
No sense in hanging on to nostalgia for the sake of practicality.
Just playing devil's advocate.
RIM unveils The
BlackPad BlackBerry PlayBook
I hope RIM do the right thing by their acquisition of QNX. I think the decision to close up the source base of QNX earlier in the year was perhaps not the right thing to do as it certainly made me markedly less interested in looking at QNX.
The traffic on the open forums certainly suggests perhaps this was the wrong thing to do.
1. Open up the source code again.
2. You can always make money by selling a distro around it with support as you are already. And this RIM pad thingy.
3. If this RIM pad thing takes off, there will be a lot of end-user apps created. Use this momentum and consider releasing a desktop version. Encourage porting of more of the stuff in the linux userland that we all take for granted. Nevertheless, try and keep the bloat down or at least, optional. It's nice not to have X necessary for example.
Then shall we see if the microkernel advantage truly exists. This I would really like to see. I think the linux kernel is too bloated and complicated and if truly a simpler alternative exists, I would like to try it.
Even if it fails, I think the journey would be worth it. What would it cost you, RIM, to win more people over to your camp?
This is (likely) so...
I am only worried about the lack of a keyboard and if the OS is locked down.
If they give us an unlocked neutrino, I will be in the queue.
Moms stand firm against antenna madness
No one really knows.
While radar is definitely harmful, I am less certain about UHF devices that are not directional.
A mobile phone may not have enough energy content to cause any significant thermal injury but accumulated long term exposure is uncertain. Microwaves are non-ionizing but they can transfer heat. There have been theories (not proven as far as I know) of dysfunction of various enzymatic systems but I do not recall exact details.
I wouldn't want to live beside a microwave mast though. A mobile phone's microwave power output is limited to the battery. A mast...
Remember we are only now living in a time where microwaves are close intimate and everywhere. 20 years ago this was not the case. It may not be a serious a threat as ionizing radiation the likes of whom Marie Curie found out not too long after but remember it took a while for her to get sick.
Look up the WHO recommended microwave exposure levels. It's on their website. Yes. someone at the WHO was sufficiently concerned to look into it. Bottom line: No one knows. We know radar is harmful, but less focused microwaves? Who knows.
*** If we are to see any health effects, epidemiologist are going to be waiting a while.
I would NOT however like to be one of the sick that they study and if I can perfectly live my life far away from a mast with minimal use of microwave transmitters, so be it.
If you want to camp beside a microwave transmitter mast and say it's all right be my guest.
Would you still want to bring up your children dancing around one of those now that you've heard my side of the story?
(Remember people thought cigarette smoking was once harmless, in fact good for you.)
Increasingly off topic
I think the OP was being a bit cynical in how the lower socioeconomic classes are reproducing much more than the higher. It probably has no bearing to the article but you wondered about...
"Its all well and good saying that people having kids is causing problems, yes over population is going to be a problem, but having more people retired than working in 20, 30 40 years will be just as much of a problem."
What if the majority of the young population then are just a bunch of yobos or on the dole?
Apple in 873-page legal claim to word 'Pod'
It is time I think to think of reasons why we have a legal system. I would have thought that the reason law exists is to protect the weak and persecuted, to ensure fair hearings and ensure wrong doers are prosecuted.
Idealistically I would think that a lawyer should strive to some sense of goodness and fairness.
If you are a true lawyer, please see this for what it is. A (very) dominant company trying to intimidate and step on so many others. To control language itself in quite a very real way.
I don't know who Apple's lawyers are but I am pretty sure they do not have conscience. If you happen to be one of them, I spit on you metaphorically. I have no respect for you. You give lawyers a bad name.
People like you make all of us out there come up with statements above. My own feeling is you should all be put out in a boat far to sea and said boat sunk.
You are indeed the lowest form of life. Mainly because you have a choice on how to wield your power and influence and you choose this.
Mozilla Labs dreams of projected keyboard phone
Ok. fancy new keyboard...
How much power will it cost, bearing in mind the wonderful endurance smartphones have at the moment?
Apple's 11.6in MacBook Air release imminent?
1. Where exactly did you get it fixed? Which apple store?
2. Are all apple stores going to do this for all 5 year old hardware or was yours a special case?
3. If it was a special case, how did you swing it?
ie. why would ANY company out there choose to swap a mobo and LCD *FREE* for 5 year old second hand kit.
Not that I don't believe you but surely there must be a reason. An exception for the PR it may generate perhaps - which makes me wonder if they will do this again for everyone. Or maybe you're a mac shop and they have a lot of business with you anyways?
We want to know.
Atoms and NetBooks.
I'm a confessed netbook 10 inch form factor advocate.
1. Atoms and like are powerful enough to do a lot of 'every day' stuff. For the average joe I would say this is more often true than not, gaming excluded but who games on something this small?
2. Not having a GPU and a high power chip means you get more battery life.
3. Not having a GPU and a high power chip means you don't have a lot of heat... ouch
4. Or a noisy fan.
This means, you have something you can use untethered FOR HOURS anywhere.
Of course, no one would have a 10-12 inch machine as their SOLE machine, so for more demanding tasks you will have your other.
And honestly, even if you didn't ... what are you actually losing out on? Probably only video games and stuff that demands a lot of grunt like image/video manipulation/rendering.
Apple would do well to make a CHEAP, light 10-12 inch lappie with tons of battery life. Yes, I would trade raw CPU power for battery life and form factor. I will be in the market for another netbook soon, if they do it right, I may be interested.
But a cheap apple is an oxymoron is it not?
Dell, Samsung Android iPad rivals demo'd
Good video for the Samsung
Makes me want to actually go out and see the thing.
Now all we need is the price and real world testing.
Sex, lies, and botnets: the saga of Perverted Justice
While I feel for the man...
Perhaps he should have known better.
Firstly, perhaps how to look after his own life, and secondly given what he was doing before, the hazards of misplaced on-line trust.
But this is easier said with hindsight, I guess.
IE captain flees Microsoft for Google
Blue Desktop maybe...
Well, he did work at M$...
The point is, google is going to probably regret it if they let him touch too much, which can only be good, I suppose.
"he will not work on Chrome at Google – at least not initially"
Hehehe... If google are wise, they won't ever put him on Chrome.
I reckon they're probably milking him for intel. What good would he bring to google one wonders, but ruin.
Blighty's carriers to field Windows Phone 7
There is wisdom in this.
Of course, I would tend to agree at this point in time.
I also do not yet have a smartphone. Although the N900 looks very tempting.
If it is:
1. Reasonably lean
2. Easy to use
3. Easy to develop for ( probably )
4. Open, unlike Apple (this I think will not be true)
5. Reliable
6. 'secure'
Then... I think it will be interesting. But it's not going to be that way, is it? I'm not gone on the 'ad-serving' to tell you the truth. Very suspicious about it.
Nevertheless, maybe it's a good idea to fill the market with choice and see what works out.
(Personally I'd ike to see more open linux phones. Hope they get Maemo err.. Meego right, and get something out the door soon. Been tempted to get a n900 but reports on battery life are putting me off. I'm still waiting to see what Nokia does but I think it has its hands full with the N8 now.)
RIM's iPad rival 'arrives next week'
QNX eh?
While I've never actually entertained buying a pad like device before, I shall watch this space in with great interest.
Pull it off right and you might get a purchase here where Steve did not. I would suggest the following:
1. Be nice to devs. Be really nice because you have to.
2. Keep the device open.
3. Or let there be the option of opening it up to people who want to mess about inside.
4. If build quality, battery life and UI are as good as that of an iPad, this could get very interesting.
5. Bonus points if no one commits suicide during its manufacture.
Google data center links shot down by 'bored' riflemen
A good enough reason...
It's coming right for us?
Harrow flicks pirate thrown in slammer
6 months?
While two wrongs don't make a right, I think this is far too much given the likes of people getting off for far less for more heinous crimes.
Why is this so?
Steve Jobs chops student hack down to size
The whole story
As much as I don't like the guy, let's take another look at the situation:
Does anyone actually know what the "3 questions" actually were and how she worded her requests to Apple's PR dept.?
For all you know she may well have been asking questions no reasonable company may be expected to answer.
Oracle spins own Linux for mega hardware
There now, I've brought this up.
If Debian fought RHEL who'd win? :P
I know RHEL is quite deeply entrenched and while I would choose not to use it, I can see why others would.
I just wonder though, honestly, which camp has more people working on the distro.
Rightly or wrongly I think this may give an idea about how frequent bug fixes are and how extensively the code base is perused.
On the .deb side you have all the ubuntu peeps and debian as well. Whereas, on RHEL, do you only have the RHEL/CentOS/etc and Fedora people?
I have the impression (rightly or wrongly) that Debian is the better bet for a stable server. I trust it more. Then there is the rpm vs deb issue (I prefer debs but that's secondary to the feeling that I have that more people are working on Debian type derivatives).
But as they all say, for an individual case, YMMV and it depends on the admin as well naturally.
Back-to-college 15in Notebooks
My advice.
Get a nice 10 inch lappie / net book that you really like the feel of. IE go see the thing before you buy it, don't skimp on research. I have bought 2 Eee's already and am looking to upgrade my current one to a 1015PE most likely. Form factor, keyboard, screen, battery - all this counts.
Put a 60+G SSD, and you'll have enough (just about) room to boot windows (because let's face it, you're likely to need it) and something else you prefer. If you are a linux head, be sure you do your homework and find out about drivers before buying. One thing not to forget is fairly convenient removable storage in the form of SD cards. Put your /home there perhaps. Encrypt it.
Basically you're looking at buying a small lappie, that's big enuf to do work on but small enough that it's not intrusively bulky or heavy and doesn't attempt to burn your bollocks off when you sit it on your lap and has tons of battery life.
Ok, right, these lads don't have much muscle, but you should see how quick one of these lads will boot off an SSD (ok, arguably a high bandwidth i/o system would be better, but 'tis still fast and well worth the purchase imho).
If you want to game, you need a decent gaming rig you can buy a second machine, a low-med end box or perhaps or a gaming laptop (effectively what I would term a portable desktop - bloody costly and I am not quite sure are they worth it - depends if you're a LAN party goer I suppose, that sort of thing).
The beauty of this, is you don't get your 'work machine' contaminated by windows games which have all kinds of spyware on board and who knows what else in way of backdoors (ie WoW, Steam - honestly, do you trust these guys? I don't)
Likewise if you're running tons and tons of compile jobs, best done on a bigger more powerful machine.
You might be tempted to try 15 inch to try and cover both ends, but honestly, I have to say, once you've tried a low power 10 inch that can go for hours on end without being plugged in, you may be converted.
But different strokes for different folks I would say.
I prefer the 2 machine approach.
(And yes, I have mac books - I still think the 10 inch form factor wins, and between OS X and linux, it makes no real difference really to me. well no wait, I know what I put in my linux, that's what's different.)
Laptop potato scammers turn to onions
No... Apples
You'd think for an Apple bait and switch, they'd at least put APPLES in the box.
On second thoughts, if I ever fell victim (not that I ever will :P), I'd prefer the spuds, at least I could make chips...
4chan launches DDoS against entertainment industry
Most profound.
Thumbs up.
I myself can't decide whether this 4Chan action is a good thing or a bad thing. Nevertheless, they're letting some right bastards have it, so what the hell....
My own visitations to 4Chan have been (and always will be) somewhat stealthy.
Bit like a road traffic accident, actually. You know you shouldn't look, really, but somehow you just can't take your eyes off the carnage.

Trident delay by the Coalition: Cunning plan, or bad idea?
The LHC
Beware the Swiss. Claiming neutrality they have actually fiendishly created the most powerful uberweapon in the world, capable of imploding the world into a blackhole in less that 0,45 msecs. While this is terrifying enough, some theories exist that the LHC could be used to instantaneously project smaller self limiting blackholes to any point of the universe to swallow up any given arbitrary mass, leaving naught but an empty space and not much fallout. Think cities of opposing states here.
An ingenious solution given that they are effectively landlocked.
Don't you believe for a moment this isn't true.
Don't take my word for it. In every facet be it economically, geopolitically, whatever, Switzerland as a nation has been actually been faring better than ever before since the facility became operational. Upon closer statistical analysis, it would appear that there is little chance that this change of fortune is due to chance alone.
I would hypothesize that there have been "words exchanged in secret" between this tiny nation and the more well known players in power and that silently but surely, Switzerland has now begun to mold the world's future.
They as a nation have long lusted for power and world domination and it is likely this insidious hunger of theirs really began many many years ago.
Don't believe me? What is this www you're now reading this on? Who invented it?

Didn't a scud land and take out a US camp or hospital as well?
Don't believe me?
Go on, ask an Israeli who was there at the time. They'll tell you how good they were.
Intel confirms HDCP copy-protection crack
Upvoting title. :P
Parents back legal ban of violent vidgames sales to kids
Spot on.
Good parenting is the key.
This is a bit like the pr0N issue to some degree but not completely - I say this because i share no illusions in the likelihood of my children growing up never to be exposed to pr0n during their 'formative' ears.
Do remember why we human beings relish in violence though. If we were but passive meek animals we would not be the dominant 'mammalian' life form that we are now. Arguably much bad comes from this.
I would certainly supervise what my child would play. But I would actually make sure he understood the difference between what is acceptable in a game and in real life. Hell, I am waiting for the day the motor skills are up to a decent COD fragfest. Or some light sparring IRL.
I would like him to understand why violence is abhorrent. Conversely why violence is important to understand (and to know how and when to predict, avoid and if necessary engage in it and survive).
What I do really like about games like COD is it just shows you how easily someone can buy it and not how you are some superhuman god.
Road test: putting the iPad to work
Methinks a 10 inch or so Netbook be best, at least for me.
Those inspiron duo things that dell may be introducing soon sound interesting but for the OS and that it is a dell (misplaced prejudice maybe but I've seen some really bad dells).
I would like something like that inspiron duo thing, with an instant on OS like an iPad, with a UI that is similar in terms of ease of use and performance.. UNLOCKED and more capable than Apple's iOS. With tons of battery life.
Here, Apple, if you're feeling threatened by that new dell thingie, do us all a favour and release a similar arm based thingie with, I dunno, ARM OS X with an iOS type gui for the touchscreen, with average or better netbook battery life. No locked down shit.
I can tell you for THAT I would sleep on the streets and queue for. iPAD. Nah...
An HTC named Desire. OK, two HTCs...
Chinese, not Chinese
I can't say this about HTC for sure, as I've not looked at the company or the phones in detail but the fact is, quite a few Taiwanese hi-tech companies have factories on Mainland China.
I know for a fact that my Asuses (Asii?) are ALL made in China. If I were a betting man, I would say fair chance of the same with HTC. Check that out and correct me if I am wrong.
I do believe that though there has not been a formal 'end' to the war, there is very little animosity left really between the 2 countries except perhaps at the level of politicians.
So... what is the real difference then?
Tinfoil 'radiation shield' maternity wear hits 'Frisco
Steve X
"We've had radio for about 100 years*. How much longer are you going to wait?"
Do not assume all radio is safe.
Would you like to stand in front of a MiG-31 with its radar on for a bit?
Less extreme but very much safer : Do you feel very comfortable standing in front of a microwave oven?
While the silver apron is a bit much, really, I would contend we still do not really know what the long term effects of having microwave transmitters in intimate proximity with our anatomy are. I believe most of these are packet transmitters and do pulse, albeit not being very directional and being low in _mean_ power output.
I am less concerned about wireless routers which generally stay a good distance away, than with mobile phones and like personal communication devices.
If you tell me constant bombardment by low energy microwaves do not affect significantly a specified volume of water in a jar, or, say a brick, for example, I'd say fine. But we're talking biological systems here.
We do not know enough, I would contend, while they appear to so far have been 'safe', nobody might know what long term effects are in store for us 10-20 years down perhaps. The effects may be small or less pronounced, and the risk of being affected lower, than say, poor old Marie Curie who didn't know what she was getting herself into, but ... we don't know.
Cigarettes, who'd have thought they were harmful?
Biological systems are tricky.
1. Microwaves are definitely a hazard in certain contexts, but these are usually very obvious.
2. Prolonged exposure to somewhat lower levels - I am not sure there is a firm verdict.
You've all heard stereo speakers go crazy when nearby mobile phones send packets. No doubt the energy contained in a mobile phone battery is limited, but I, not being an engineer, am not sure what the peak power output of such a pulse is, and what really the long term effects of prolonged exposure are.
From what I read of it : no one's really been bold enough to say that mobile phones are categorically 100% safe. On the other hand no one's proven them to be particularly nasty either.
In the long run.
My take: I wouldn't go coating myself with silver, but neither would I be strapping mobile phones, wireless routers and microwave oven all over my balls and other like sensitive tissue. I wouldn't dismiss completely suggestions that low levels over prolonged periods may be harmful.
This is interesting :
Die-hard bug bytes Linux kernel for second time
Yes, this is indeed a problem
We should not look at *JUST* the bug but *HOW* it was allowed to happen and try and put safeguards against such a future recurrence.
Human beings will always make mistakes but we should try and minimize them.
One cannot deny this was sloppy.
However, one should look at the positive side of it. The bug currently in question was found and reported because someone out there could look at the source. And there are people out there constantly looking at it. It is definitely a plus that we can do this.
Who knows how many bugs remain hidden in, for example, windows because it is still closed?
Steve Jobs no ninja, says Apple
A more successful Ashida Kim more like... But yeah, hype++ much for sure.
(Think about it, there are a lot of people still living that wouldn't be if he really were a ninja)
Steve Jobs carried 'ninja throwing stars' in hand luggage
As much as I'd like it to be true...
I think it does not hold water. I mean, they would have to be 'very special' shuriken, as shuriken are quite easily available as far as I recall, in the US.

Cinema chain bans laptops, tablets
Piracy from the cinema seat
Sure people may pirate these films, but I have a funny feeling not many people are actually happy with the quality of such ventures.
I once tried to watch one such movie (I can't even remember which film it was) but the quality was so bad that I had to shut it off after a few minutes.
Smartbook done to death by Apple iPad
As have I
Sincerely hope you're wrong though.
I want an ARM *NETBOOK*
"Isn't an Android tablet really just an ARM-powered smartbook + touchscreen - keyboard?"
Well, I just so happen to like the netbook form (ie a real keyboard) not a 'smartbook' ipad form, so that's the big difference.

ARM flexes muscles with fivefold performance boost
No 'real windows' arm platforms.
I believe that would be the reason.
They'd get it to work I suspect if they had sufficient motivation. The way I see it, nobody's made a decent arm desktop since the archie.
They did get windows NT on the power pc once but I can't remember the exact reasons why they abandoned it at the time.

Assembly Republican Leader Brian M. Kolb (Canandaigua) and fellow GOP Assemblymen Michael Fitzpatrick (Smithtown), David G. McDonough (Merrick), Tom McKevitt (East Meadow), Michael Montesano (Glen Head) and Andrew Raia (East Northport) will hold a "People's Convention to Reform New York" town hall meeting on Thursday, April 29 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Hicksville Knights of Columbus, 45 Heitz Place.
A U.S. District Court judge recently ordered a two-week extension to the MTA's effective date for limiting services in its Able-Ride program.
After the MTA announced in March that it would be limiting its Able-Ride services to save money, several disability advocacy groups filed a class-action lawsuit against the company.
Calling underage drinking a serious issue would be a gross understatement; in addition to serving as a causal factor for a host of debilitating and potentially deadly conditions, underage drinking costs residents of New York state billions of dollars in medical costs and lost work hours.
Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services Inc. recently presented a special program entitled "Underage Drinking in Our Community," to educate more people about the true risks that underage drinking presents. While parents and teachers do make some effort to discourage teens from drinking, from the information provided at the meeting, not nearly enough is being done.
Students from Oyster Bay and Hicksville are working together to hold the 1st Annual Soldiers Walk on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 15. The walk will be held at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park Marina at the end of South Street, starting at 8 a.m. The Soldier's Walk is to benefit America's VetDogs, a nonprofit group that supplies service dogs to veterans.
The 2010 Census is under way and those working on it urge residents to return their forms as soon as possible. The bureau hopes to receive as many back in the mail as possible prior to April 12. For those who do not mail back the form, a Census enumerator will begin knocking on doors after to record the information personally.
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced today that a Hicksville man has been sentenced to 3 ½ to 7 years in prison after pleading guilty to operating a Ponzi scheme that promised investors gift cards to nearby stores at steep discounts, and then stealing nearly $2.4 million of their money.
Craig Ginsberg, 49, pleaded guilty in September 2009 to Grand Larceny in the Second Degree. Ginsberg must also pay restitution in the amount of $2,375,439.
Local postal workers and leaders from the letter carriers, mail handlers and clerks recently held a rally to oppose eliminating Saturday mail delivery. According to Congressman Steve Israel, seniors, veterans and many others rely on the postal system for urgent deliveries, such as Social Security checks and medical information. Postal workers attended the rally to urge the United States Postal Service (USPS) to consider all alternatives before ending Saturday service.
The State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) recently announced that it has awarded more than $2.7 million for eight organizations to run programs that will help low-income, noncustodial fathers become more involved with their children's lives, financially and emotionally.
The Officers and members of Emergency Company 5 of the Hicksville Volunteer Fire Department are saddened to announce the passing of Ex-Captain Robert Perchinski on March 15.
Ex-Captain Robert Perchinski joined Emergency Company 5 in August of 1968 and became quickly involved in Company 5 and was elected as their secretary in 1971. The members recognized his leadership abilities and he was elected to serve as 2nd Lieutenant in 1972 and quickly rose through the ranks to become the 32nd captain to serve Company 5 in 1974, and again in 1975. It was during this period that Bob led the membership through some of the busiest times within the department and he took part in many notable Signal 10s.
In his first State of the County address, County Executive Edward P. Mangano criticized the previous administration, listing numerous problems in Nassau's government and saying that because of past planning, "Tonight, I am here to tell you: The state of our county is deeply troubled."
He went on to detail the major problem areas and touch on some ways he hopes to address the issues.

Watch as Ian Astbury, the once stand-in Mr. Mojo Risin/Lizard King, changes himself back into the wailing sex-god for these beloved goth-gone-AC/DC rockers. Trying to follow these dudes' reunion tours is kinda like hedging your bets on the "final KISS reunion"there's always gonna be another. However, for the last few years, they've allegedly become a "real" band again and 2007 saw the new (but so-so) release, Born Into This. This tour, dubbed "Love Live," is pretty sweet: They're playing fan favorite Love in its entirety. With the Living Things.

In an announcement more apt for a dinner party than a defense memorandum, Romania has agreed to host a new U.S. missile shield in its territory aimed at protecting Western interests from the "emerging threat" of Iranian ballistic missiles. —JCL
The BBC:
Romania has agreed to host missile interceptors as part of a new US defence shield, its president says.
President Traian Basescu said the plan was approved by the defence council. It still needs parliamentary approval.
The US scrapped a previous missile shield, based in Poland and the Czech Republic, which had infuriated Russia.
Instead the new system would provide better defence from "the emerging threat" of Iranian short- and medium-range missiles, a US official said.
Iran released this photo in July 2008 of missiles being test-fired in the desert. Trouble is, the photo had apparently been digitally altered to show four missiles rising into the air, when in fact one never left the pad.

Photos and Description of this 1 bedroom holiday apartment in Malaga City - Apartment Campos
Located directly at the suburban train station (from airport), on the harbour
Our newest apartment is located on the harbour in the centre of Malaga. On the 3rd floor of a multi-family house from the forties, with spacious living areas. The building exudes little charm from the outside, and yet it is a monumental building, because it is a witness of the difficult era of Spain, the forties. Once you are inside, nevertheless you feel instantly like being in an old building, about 3.50 m ceiling height, art nouveau tiles, bay windows and high wooden lattice windows. In our apartment we could unfortunately save only a few of these beautiful tiles, because they were tiled over, and the primer destroyed the stamp colour. So we have partly laid the original tiles, partly on old tiles, and the rest with oak flooring (real wood, not laminate!). Our apartment is about 61 m2 and has two balconies, one in the kitchen (5 m2 west facing) and another in bedroom (4.5 m2 facing the north). The floor plan is very ingenious, because to the south there is a functional patio, to the west there is a road (Calle San Lorenzo) and to the north is the road Calle Casas de Campos. Over the intersection of these streets is your living room with 6 very charming bay windows, which we have some what emphasised with indirect lighting. Therefore, you don't have to worry about any immediate neighbours during your holiday in our apartment, except me, because I have my office right next to the apartment. Easy to reach by train (last stop, 100m, it takes 14 minutes to / from the airport). Check in with us and be at home: Central European living standards (walk-in rain shower, under floor heating in the bathroom, large-size beds, central heating / - cooling), modern kitchen including oven, new windows in the bathroom and bedroom, etc. The kitchen / dining / living area is 31 m2 large and offers you a modern and comfortable furnishing. Specially attractive bay window in the living room with 6 windows overlooking a newly renovated old building (monument) and the large Alameda de Colon with plenty of green trees. Our street - Calle Casas de Campos - is being transformed into a pedestrian zone (finished end of July 2013!). It leads directly to the harbour (to the east) and to the contemporary art museum (to the west). Nearby there are several bicycle and segway rental shops, so why not discover Malaga by bike? From the apartment you can reach the Cathedral without any disturbing traffic. Other than all Malaga hotspots you can also reach museums, monuments, restaurants and bars on foot. Even the fantastic new harbour invites you to an evening stroll, a wonderful atmosphere, especially during summer. Enjoy the lively harbour city of Malaga in a quiet location, with maximum comfort and affordable prices.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- non smoking only

Capital Brasserie
- amysuehere Jan 24, 2007 07:44 AM
Keeping with my promise to try at least one new place a month, hubbers and I went to CB yesterday. With it being cold and rainy, seemed the perfect day for onion soup.
Interior was nice, understated and absolutely had the vibe of a french bistro. The big picture windows offering a great view of the rain outside.
Fresh from the oven bread was served with some of the freshest tasting butter I've had away from my aunt's farm.
I ordered the french onion soup and a small traditional ceasar. Hubbers ordered the croque monsieur with pommes frites.
There were two baby hiccups - my soup was brought out way before the other two. I had wanted to eat the soup/salad together when hubbers got his meal. I also was not given a soup spoon and had to use my coffee spoon for about five minutes before the waiter showed up again.
That aside, the soup was outstanding - rich and deep with flavor. Hubbers said it was a little heavy on the vermouth, but I didn't think so. Finally! there's a resaurant that does a really wonderful anchovy-y (pardon the grammer) ceasar. Bright, green, crisp lettuce. Freshly graded parm with just enough done-right dressing with just enough to coat each leaf. My meal was just right for a rainy cold day. Hubbers even sopped up the last of my soup with the fresh out of the oven bread our waiter brought about mid-meal.
Hubbers croque didn't look like much, but it was so incredibly rich he barely ate three-quarters of it. Thinly sliced grilled ham on a toasted dark rye with rich gooey cheese melted on top served with crisp on the outside, tender in potatoes with plenty of herbs on the crust served with a zesty-tangy dipping sauce.
Lunch at CB was wonderful. I never felt rushed, service for the most part was attentive and we couldn't have had a better rainy-day meal.
We'll definatley be back to try the Sunday brunch.
p.s. - the steak salad the table next to us looked amazing.
I wouldn't put Capitol Brasserie on my list of absolute best restaurants in Austin, but IMHO it's very good, especially for the location and price. The most expensive item on the dinner menu is $22, and for being downtown in that nice of a restaurant, that's not bad. I've been there twice, had the Steak Frites ($17) the first time and the Roasted Chicken ($16) the second. The frites (fries) are great - in fact I ordered the Roasted Chicken the second time because it came with them. Both times I really enjoyed the meal. The food is very satisfying - it's basic, straight ahead, good French food (hence being a brasserie) - and you won't leave hungry, like at some other fine dining establishments around town, which I won't name. ;-)
Austin has needed more of a mid-range (price) brasserie for a while. I'll have to give it a try.
Based on your review, I'll give this place another shot. My experiences thus far have been lackluster, and I always feel like I should have gone to Chez Nous.
Plus they have Hoegarden on tap. It is a shame they no longer have Lambics as it was quite good mixed with Hoegarden.
I went to Capitol about 2 weeks ago. I had oysters and a ceasar, my son had steak frites and charcuterie and hubby had mussels and a salad, and my mom had some sort of pasta (can't remember what). Anyhoo, the service was pleasant, the food was good. Capitol is not a 'chowhound' experience, but it is honest and fresh and I would recommend it. I live in France and only wish all our brasseries were so good.
re: laur76
Do you mean CB is not a "chowhound" experience because the food's not truly delicious? In other words, it's just good? Plus, what do you mean by "honest"?
I'd also love to know more details about how the frites, mussels, salad, and pasta were prepared.
re: MPH
I'm sorry I meant it was good. Not the best mussels EVER etc.. But certainly very good and very fresh. In sum, though I agree it was not very clear, I meant simple, fresh, good, therefore honest (in french when we say something is 'honnete' it means we do not feel taken advantage of and are satisfied. Again, I would recommend it.
re: laur76
yes, I'm confused too. You say the food was good and also say "I live in France and only wish all our brasseries were so good." That sounds like a "chowhound" experience to me.
re: amysuehere
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm very sorry to say most brasseries in France are not chowhound experiences. I wish I could keep up the myth but I can not tell a lie.
Personally, I've found that the entrees (i.e., the roasted chicken, the pulled pork dish, etc.) are nothing special, especially for the price. However, I love pretty much everything on their "late night" menu (most of which is also served for dinner) - in particular, their salads (lyonnaise wasn't mentioned, but it is served with a tangy dressing and lots of lardons), the croque monsieur, and the cheese and charcuterie plate (although it varies in consistency).
The service there is generally competent and friendly, although I've had one or two bad experiences. While not the best in Austin by any means, is a nice place to go to hang out and relax over a bottle of wine. In addition, I think it is one of the best options (possibly THE best option) for late night dining.
i ate here saturday night for the second time. not terribly impressed. there is something odd about this place and the food that i can't put my finger on. the mussels meuniere were 'eh' with inconsistent quality from mussel to mussel. the steak tartar was alright, not much wow factor. i ordered the prix fixe and stuck with the steak frites (what i had the first time i visited, late night). it was cooked perfectly and tasty with the fries. the boston bibb salad was also 'eh' (if only it had a poached egg perched atop). their profiteroles are lacking something. i think the pistachio ice cream that has a strong hint of almond extract they use in place of vanilla ice cream might have ruined it.
i'm with tom. i'd rather go to chez nous. there is something more soulful about chez nous' food.
re: Ken W
There have already been several changes.
First, while their hours are still remarkably generous, they are no longer the glorious "pretty much anytime you like".
Second, many members of their staff have flipped. Not sure how this extends into the kichen.
Finally, they are now carefully observing which specials are popular, and rolling them into the regular menu. I'd bet that less-popular daily specials will be traded out for other options.
This is my favorite late-night option in Austin. While I don't think CB is very good, it is decent, and I'd hate to see them go under. The staff turnover (and lack of common wines on their list) has seriously worried me. They are no Chez Nous (or Aquarelle), but they ain't bad, and given Austin's absurd hours for most of the better establshments, CB had been a reliable haven after 10 PM.
I didn't think it was bad but I didn't think it was better than average. I try to eat at different places each week, but I probably will not go bac to CB.

Getting up to speed on the business of Phillies baseball.
Ryan Howard's search for a new agent is worth its own thread, but isn't an issue I have much desire to discuss or compare with recent Phillies history. The reigning National League MVP is seeking new representation and is staring at a modest raise by today's standards. According to the Daily News, the Phillies are expected to toss in $1 million over last year's salary.
As for the unease of feeling all this money going around will lessen Howard's ambition to drive baseballs into the upper deck: unlikely. That isn't Ryan, and players understand the pecking order. He's put in a year-and-a-half of service, four years from the point Jimmy Rollins signed his five-year extension, and over 18 seasons less than the most senior member of the squad.
However, for a player of Howard's caliber, there's only one comparison you need to know: Albert Pujols. The Cardinals first baseman put in three full seasons of superstar service before hitting pay dirt. The 2005 MVP avoided his first arbitration to sign a deal worth $100 million over 7 years right before the 2004 season. Expect a comparable timetable for Howard, with a similarly structured deal, making the arbitration years more profitable while locking up a few seasons past free agency. This is a solid pact for all involved, and Howard will stand to earn more than Pujols when it's all said. The Phillies understand their home-run king is a non-issue until after this season, and are treating it as such. Meanwhile, the industry's best agents are jockeying for position to cash in.
The Phillies have more pressing matters, frankly. Marcus Hayes of the Daily News reminds readers this morning the Phils are preparing for arbitration with five players: Chase Utley, Ryan Madson, Geoff Geary, Brett Myers and Aaron Rowand. Utley may have reached the point where the Phillies want to lock him down.
I've thought all along this year's arbitration situations won't be cut-and-dry, and to brace for at least one player to be moved. There are a couple of stars on that list, and it figures to be a difficult challenge for Gillick and crew to get through this unscathed with all players returning. The Phillies haven't gone to arbitration since 2001.
It was also reported today that the Phillies are unlikely to pursue any of the remaining free agent relievers. One possibility could be to wait on what shakes loose from other clubs. It was last year at this time when Texas was able to swing a deal for Vicente Padilla.
