Salut

eh bien maintenant j’écoute le show religieusement et ça je trouve ça
super. J’en manque pas un, jles load dans mon mp3 player pis j’écoute ça
en allant à la job.

La seul affaire que j’ai à dire sur les past show, c que l’utilité du
surround sound jla vois pas (jécoute ça dans mon mp3 player?) en juillet
jvas avoir un système 5.1 on s’en reparlera.. mais d’ici la jme dis que
c un talk show et pas Jurassic Park, hehe

Pour le futur il reste juste à voir ce que tacticalFM va changer dans
votre behavior.. à date jcrois pas que vous changez grand chose (j’ai
pas écouter le #14 encore), mais ce que j’ai peur c que ça vienne trop
politique sérieuse et moins conspiration et affaires marrantes.

Fak en bref, excellent show, le faite que vous soyez 2 est effectivement
ce qui manquait au Botcast au départ… ah pis j’adore les pubs du
début.. c’est en faite ce qui me rappelle quel show j’ai écouter ou pas,
ça la une utilité très pratique en plus d’être funny ;-)

Seul affaire qui me manque un peu c’est le “live”.. j’avoue que c’est
toffe avoir du monde qui écoute live, mais c’était ce qui me fesait
tripper un peu dans le temps.. faut croire qu’on est réellement rendu à
l’aire des podcasts.

Sur ce, keep on the good work ;-)

Subject: Botcast #14

 

Salutation à vous deux,

 

Dans votre Botcast #14 vous faisiez réfférence à un certain missile Russe dans le cadre des informations démontrant l’innefficassité du système anti-missiles. Il s’agit probablement d’une évolution du missile Topol SS27 dévoilé en 1997 par les Russes et qui contient plusieurs méchanismes autres que sa très grande vitesse.

 

Le Topol SS27 à continuer à évoluer par la suite et il est à noter qu’une première annonce de Vladimir Poutine en 2005 et une seconde quelque part en 2006 ont chacunes marqués une hausse de sa popularité dans la fédération de Russie.

 

Les derniers détails révèlent qu’une fois lancé le missile parcour sont trajet en changant continuellement de cap pour réduire l’anticipation de la cible exacte. En plus de sont système de brouillage, il peut également effectuer des esquives s’il détecte l’approche d’objet suceptibles de l’intercepter, déployer des leures et se diviser en 4 à 6 missiles selon le nombre de kilotonnes par ogives voulu.

 

Pour conclure, puisqu’il est évident que les anonces de Mr Poutine sont pour en mousser la vente, qui sont les intéressés? Il est déjà connu que les chinois produisent leur propre version nommé Dong Feng 41 (Vent de l’Est #41) avec l’assistance du Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology.

 

 

 

Cordialement,

 

Fogman

ZOG, again

Nancy Pelosi’s no dummy. She’s been outed as a crazed Zionist, so she can hardly go around placing other crazed Zionists in positions of power in order to finalize the Zionist Occupation Government. Total Israeli control over America can’t be allowed to be that obvious. Thus the head-fake over Murtha. By pretending to support John Murtha as majority leader, she managed to have crazed Zionist Steny Hoyer installed without a hint of Pelosi fingerprints on the maneuver.

Bush Changes Continuity Plan

Administration, Not DHS, Would Run Shadow Government

By Spencer S. Hsu

Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, May 10, 2007; Page A12

President Bush issued a formal national security directive yesterday ordering agencies to prepare contingency plans for a surprise, “decapitating” attack on the federal government, and assigned responsibility for coordinating such plans to the White House.

The prospect of a nuclear bomb being detonated in Washington without warning, whether smuggled in by terrorists or a foreign government, has been cited by many security analysts as a rising concern since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

 

Hundreds Click on Google Ad Promising to Infect Their PCs

http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/05/hundreds_click_.html
Best white hat scam of the month: security researcher Didier Stevens bought a Google ad six months ago that said, “Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!” 409 people clicked on the ad — people who would have been owned up or infested with malware had Stevens been a true scammer instead of a security geek with a weird sense of humor. Stevens writes:

During this [six month] period, my ad was displayed 259,723 times and clicked on 409 times. That’s a click-through-rate of 0.16%. My Google Adwords campaign cost me only €17 ($23). That’s €0.04 ($0.06) per click or per potentially compromised machine. 98% of the machines ran Windows (according to the User Agent string).

It’s hard to say whether people clicked on the ad because they assumed it was a joke, or because they simply misread it as an anti-virus ad. Still, the numbers are pretty scary. The other shocker here is that Google, which does quite a bit of policing on ad content, didn’t notice the scammy ad. Stevens says, “I designed my ad to make it suspect, but even then it was accepted by Google without problem and I got no complaints to date.” Apparently, he’s still running the ad, with slightly different experimental parameters. Can’t wait to see what he finds out next . . .

National ID: Biometrics Pinned to Social Security Cards

 

The Social Security card faces its first major upgrade in 70 years under two immigration-reform proposals slated for debate this week that would add biometric information to the card and finally complete its slow metamorphosis into a national ID.

The leading immigration proposal with traction in Congress would force employers to accept only a very limited range of approved documents as proof of work eligibility, including a driver’s license that meets new federal Real ID standards, a high-tech temporary work visa or a U.S. passport with an RFID chip. A fourth option is the notional tamper-proof biometric Social Security card, which would replace the text-only design that’s been issued to Americans almost without change for more than 70 years.

Condoms ‘too big’ for Indian men

By Damian Grammaticus
BBC News, Delhi

There is a “lack of awareness” over condom sizes

A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

 

 

Le huard touche 92 cents

22 mai 2007 – 09h12

LaPresseAffaires.com

Le dollar canadien reprend là où il avait laissé la semaine dernière.

À l’ouverture des marchés intérieurs, mardi matin, le dollar canadien valait 92,12 cents US, en hausse de 0,33 cent.

Plusieurs économistes croient que les deux monnaies seront à égalité d’ici un à deux ans.

La publication de résultats plus forts que prévu pour les ventes au détail, la solide performance économique du Canada en général et le prix élevé des ressources naturelles expliquent en partie cette hausse accélérée du huard.

L’augmentation anticipée des taux d’intérêt par la Banque du Canada y a aussi contribué.

La Banque du Canada se prononcera d’ailleurs sur les taux la semaine prochaine.

La croyance voulant que la sous-traitance de services à l’étranger ait un effet négatif marqué sur l’emploi au Canada ne serait pas avérée, estime une étude publiée mardi par Statistique Canada.

«Rien ne porte à croire que les industries, dont une part relativement importante des professions était sujette à la délocalisation des services au milieu des années 1990, avaient récemment vu ralentir la croissance de leur effectif comparativement aux autres industries», conclut l’étude réalisée entre 1987 et 2006.

U.S. citizen Jose Padilla was infamously accused by John Ashcroft of wanting to set off a “dirty bomb” for Al Queda. After being held incommunicado in solitary confinement for three years, and tortured, the government dropped the bomb charge and now wants to put him away on vague charges of supporting terrorism. But, as Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball report, the government wants to silence Padilla’s attorneys, not allowing them to bring up Padilla’s treatment by the government, and not allowing public testimony of any kind, in the name of “national security” (of course).

The Idolatry of Judeo-Christianity

The death of the Reverend Jerry Falwell gives us a moment to contemplate that sinister movement within Protestant evangelicalism deemed “Zionist” and to reflect on the deconstruction it has wrought on true Christianity. Falwell, Hagee and other clerics have whole-heartedly supported this movement and given it both moral and financial backing. This is the sad reality of modern evangelical and fundamentalist thought, or in this case, lack of thought or genuine reflection.

All Pregnant Women Tested Had At Least One Kind Of Pesticide In Their Placenta, According To Researcher

Human beings are directly responsible for more than 110,000 chemical substances which have been generated since the Industrial Revolution. Every year, we “invent” more than 2,000 new substances, most of them contaminants, which are emitted into the environment and which are consequently present in food, air, soil and water. Nonetheless, human beings are also victims of these emissions, and involuntarily (what is known in this scientific field as “inadvertent exposure”). Every day humans ingest many of these substances which cannot be assimilated by our body, and are accumulated in the fatty parts of our tissues.
