In an interview with Matt Lauer that will air on NBC Tuesday night, Craig lashed out at Mitt Romney for dumping him the day the arrest story broke: "He not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again." Apparently, there's no "I Brake for Bad Boys" bumper sticker on the Mitt Mobile. For days, Romney has been fending off charges from John McCain and Rudy Giuliani that he can't be trusted. Now Mitt's constancy is under fire from Craig, the Republicans' leading authority on saying one thing and doing another. Last week, Republicans were stunned to find out that Craig won't go. This week's revelation is worse: Craig won't go quietly. In the early days of the scandal, he acted like a man who would neither fight nor switch. As he told Lauer, now he has launched a public relations blitz to show the world, "I'm a fighter." Craig isn't just haunting Republicans from the political grave; he's inviting them to come join him.
Brothels In Islamabad
If you are pure, honest and clean then you go and stone people. If people have committed immoral or sinful acts let Allah punish them. We are too little to make such decisions.
Sania Saeed, Pakistan
"Apply Holy Koran What Maulana Ghazi or what the Govenment Or what the readers says is not important - what is important is what the Holy Koran says and correct me if I am wrong - the verdict in Holy Koran for adultory is to be " Stoned to death ". That's it. The wisest of the wise do not debate the holy Koran with if's and but's but implement it unflichingly. Salman Malik, Pakistan" Salman Malik, the Holy Quran is a great book, but remember Allah has given you another amazing gift...your brain. Please use it. To blindly follow scripture without using logic and reason is stupidity, not religion.

Think about a picture and what comes to mind is a flat image of something with very little depth. The technology to make actual 3D images has been around a while, but it's not mainstream and isn't seen often. Researchers at Stanford have created a new camera chip that can see in 3D that could lead to better images, especially at higher ISO settings where grain is a big issue. Anyone who shoots with a digital camera that offers adjustable ISO settings has seen the noticeable grain that shows up in images. The quality of the camera will affect how high the ISO setting can go before grainy images are a significant issue. The new Stanford chip has a three megapixels rating and rather than using one single large sensor, the prototype chip breaks the image up into many small and overlapping 16 x 16 pixel patches known as subarrays.
Startup plans floating data centres
A STARTUP is planning to build floating data centres on knackered cargo ships. San Francisco Bay Area company International Data Security (IDS) envisions it will have up to 50 decommissioned container ships housing data server farms, moored in various ports around the world including 22 in North American cities. IDS believes using cargo ships will give it flexibility and enable expansion limited only by the availability of ships and port space instead of real estate constraints. Its first location will be available at Pier 50 in San Francisco starting in April and it already has, ahem, anchor tenants signed, a source close to the company said. Shipboard cargo spaces will be built out as data center floors and deck space will be used to stack modular data centers in standard shipping containers.
I Was a Progression Requirement Pusher
Students must obtain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 to graduate from my university. Sort of. In reality most students have to obtain a higher GPA for admission into a particular major. This second admissions hurdle is as important as gaining entrance into the university. Known often as a "progression requirement," it is one of the dirty little secrets in academe. .
