Kid Runs Off To Iraq Does Nothing Interesting
What a wanker. While he may be brave (or more likely stupid) and his motives were good, running off to a war zone by yourself when you are 16 and rich, you don’t really get anything done other than worrying your mother sick. Read the rest of the story here.
You can read the kids homework below. (warning its not very good)

Without getting to much into the whole gun debate, this just seems wrong wrong wrong.

Experiment to see if your mail is being tapped by the gov’t
Richard M. Smith of ComputerBytesMan has come up with a “quick and easy method to see if one’s email messages are being read by someone else.”
1. Set up a Hotmail account.
2. Set up a second email account with a non-U.S. provider. (eg. Rediffmail.com)
3. Send messages between the two accounts which might be interesting to the NSA.
4. In each message, include a unique URL to a Web server that you have access to its server logs. This URL should only be known by you and not linked to from any other Web page. The text of the message should encourage an NSA monitor to visit the URL.
5. If the server log file ever shows this URL being accessed, then you know that you are being snooped on. The IP address of the access can also provide clues about who is doing the snooping.
The trick is to make the link enticing enough for someone or something to want to click on it. As part of a large-scale research project, I would suggest sending out a few hundred thousand messages using various tricks to find one that might work.
A Hoax, But Can You Blame Us For Thinking Its True?
So I blogged about a kid who said he had been visited by the G-men after requesting a communist book. Well it seems it was all a hoax. However with all the other real things the government has been doing to spy on us lately it wasn’t that far fetched to think this was real. See the hoax explained here.
