Pants down

Leaving the restaurant tonight, Cheryl's little brother, who was wearing typical teenager pants many sizes too large for him, had his pants drop around his ankles. :-) He forgot to wear a belt. LOL!

Unforunately I was about 10 seconds ahead of him and thus outside of the restaurant, so I missed the whole thing. I don't ever remember seeing Cheryl's mom laugh so hard. :-)

War game fixed

Guardian Unlimited: War game was fixed to ensure American victory, claims general

"General Paul Van Riper, a retired marine lieutenant-general, told the Army Times that the sprawling three-week millennium challenge exercises, were "almost entirely scripted to ensure a [US] win"."

It hardly seems productive to fake experimental training exercises. That's a lot of money wasted for a completely unreliable outcome report.

Update: Brian Carnell pointed out this story about the war games.

WebObjects for Jaguar

I just received this in my inbox from Apple:

"We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of WebObjects 5.1.4 for Mac OS X 10.2. See the Knowledge Base article at http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n75292 for release notes, installation instructions, and a download link, or use Software Update.

WebObjects 5.1.4 resolves incompatibilities between WebObjects 5.1.x
Developer and Mac OS X 10.2. [...]"

That's very good news. WebObjects developers are used to upgrading to a new OS or toolset from Apple and THEN finding out it's incompatible. This time Apple's got the fix out before the incompatibility becomes generally available. Thanks!
