THE VIRTUAL CD-ROM CONTROL PANEL FOR WINDOWS XP
Last week I used Microsoft’s material to explain that an ISO file is an exact image of a CD-ROM or a DVD. Why would someone use Virtual instead of using Nero (that we discussed last week) or a similar application to burn the ISO to disk?Today almost ...
THE SAUDI CURSE
Saudi Arabia is a pre-eminent example of how God’s sense of humor is unfathomable to mere human beings. A tribe of primitive desert nomads who believe in an atavistic religion seize control of a vast sandy wasteland under which, completely unknown ...
CIA ROGUE WEASEL THREATENS MURDER
You first learned in The CIA in Deep Qaaqaa last October about a group of left-wing “Rogue Weasels” that incoming CIA Director Porter Goss was purging from Langley. It’s important to understand that the CIA has been a left-wing outfi ...
ROSCOE AND ROBERTS
Silent screams. Night sweats. Quiet desperation. The whispered dread of impending doom. Liberals are suffering all of these anxieties over soon-to-be Justice John Roberts - at least the smart ones are who know the stakes. Those stakes go far beyond Roe v. ...
COALITION OF EVIL
The Al Qaeda watchers have a new chant: They tell us that the once-centralized terror organization is now largely decentralized, and that the separate cells have a great deal of autonomy. Osama bin Laden may still provide the ideology, but the locals do th ...
THE HIROSHIMIC IMPOSTURE
So many of you have asked me about an alleged Al Qaeda plan called “American Hiroshima” - the multiple detonation of nukes smuggled in to the US - that I must respond, even though some very good friends of mine for whom I have high regard have ...

INTELLIGENCE ROT
Two cheers for the Silberman-Robb Commission Report, which for the first time raises some of the basic issues about the rot that has long festered within the intelligence community. Yes, it’s too long, (much too long), and unfortunately the authors a ...
SECURITY DO’S AND DON’TS

GOOD NEWS IS BAD NEWS FOR BUSH-HATERS
“I hate to say this to Iraqis, but I pray for chaos and civil war,” Nina from Toronto emailed the BBC. "It's the only way to stop Bush's policies and show that peace can never come through force. If Iraq gets peace, Bush gets credibility ...
POCKET PC: OBSOLETE?
After a break I’m resuming the discussion of PDAs this week. Last time I discussed the various models of Palm Pilots. This week I’ll take a look at Pocket PCs. Pocket PCs have been around for a few years, and unlike Palm, are made by several d ...
THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TERRORIST TUNNEL
The War on Terrorism - more precisely the War on Moslem Terrorism - may have been won on March 1st, 2005. That was the day US intel folks announced they had intercepted messages from Osama Bin Laden to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, begging Zarqawi to launch terror ...
ALL BUT WON
It will be some months before the news media recognize it, and a few months more before they acknowledge it, but the war in Iraq is all but won. The situation is roughly analogous to the battle of Iwo Jima, which took place 60 years ago this month. It took ...

WE’RE ALL CRIMINALS NOW
I’m writing this from a place called Mea Culpa City. It’s not a lot of fun being here, but it’s where I have to live until I finish this essay. It turns out that I have wronged a friend. The silver - well, pewter - lining is that in at ...
TO WIN IN IRAQ WE MUST WIN IN IRAN
It has been quite clear for some time now that al Qaeda and the other major terrorist groups — Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Jamaa, etc. — are all working together, and have been ever since we went into Afghanistan. The war in the Middle East — fo ...
WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE WITH MONITORS – plus a Health Warning and Security Update
Monitors are replete with mysterious-looking numbers and formulas. We pretend to understand them, but how much do we really know? Admittedly, until I began looking for a new one - I’m still undecided - I knew less about monitors than any other majo ...
