ISLAMABAD – Pakistan sought to allay U.S. concern about the freedom of notorious nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, insisting Saturday that his network which allegedly supplied Iran and North Korea with atomic technology has been probed and dismantled and cannot rise again. Khan, feted in Pakistan for his key role in making it a nuclear weapons state, emerged from five years of de facto house arrest on Friday after a court declared him a "free citizen" subject to a secret agreement with the government.

Bob Briscoe (Chief researcher at the BT Network Research Centre) is on a mission to tackle one of the biggest problems facing the Internet. He wants the world to know that TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) congestion control is fundamentally broken and he has a proposal for the IETF to fix the root cause of the problem. The Internet faced its first congestion crisis in 1986 when too much network traffic caused a series of Internet meltdowns when everything slowed to a crawl. Today’s problem is more subtle and lesser known since the network still appears to be working correctly and...

A Turkish-based movement, which sounds more reasonable than most of its rivals, is vying to be recognised as the world's leading Muslim network IT IS a long way from the Anatolian plains to a campus in the heart of London, where eminent scholars of religion deliver learned papers. And the highlands that used to form the Soviet border with China, an area where bright kids long for an education, seem far removed from a three-storey house in Pennsylvania, where a revered, reclusive teacher of Islam lives. What links these places is one of the most powerful and best-connected of the...

We have previously shown that viral E-mails (E-mails that people circulate to friends and associates, not E-mails that contain computer viruses) are causing serious problems for the Obama campaign. The following viral e-mail, which we place in the public domain and whose widespread circulation we encourage, tells the absolute truth about this phony smile on top of an empty suit, and all statements in this package can be verified independently through a Google search, or reference to the indicated links. In Netscape E-mail at least, the entire package below pastes into the letter with preservation of highlighting and formatting. COPY,...

Video conferencing is speeding up a slow judicial system, connecting judges, lawyers, and the accused while enhancing savings and security. India has undertaken a nationwide project to connect jails and district courts across the country via a tele-justice or video conferencing system. With tele-justice, the accused can now be present in a court through a video link, established on ISDN lines, between the prison and the court. Today, Indian states including Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Bihar have already introduced tele-justice. In Maharashtra, for instance, over 40 jails in and around Mumbai are connected to district level courts...

"Barack Obama is an anti-Semite," said [Brigitte] Gabriel, who founded the nonprofit organization American Congress for Truth following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "No Jews should support him."

ABC News is clearing its slate of prime-time entertainment shows tonight to make room for Charles Gibson, Diane Sawyer and live wall-to-wall political coverage. On CBS, Katie Couric and newly hired political analysts such as Joe Trippi will supplant action-adventure drama, while NBC pre-empts one of its highest-rated series for Brian Williams and Tim Russert. With 24 states up for grabs on Super Tuesday, the networks - bolstered by rising interest in the primaries - have suddenly become super-serious about covering presidential politics. But instead of singing the praises of ABC, NBC and CBS News, analysts see their efforts tonight...

Quotes from Presidential Candidates that attended National Action Network’s 9th Annual Convention: Senator Hillary Clinton (NY): “I have enjoyed a long and positive relationship with Reverend Al Sharpton and National Action Network, and I don’t ever remember saying “no” to them and I intend to remain their partner in civil rights as I clean the dirt from under the carpet in the oval office when I am elected President” Senator Barack Obama (Ill): “Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important to change America, and...

I have a desktop computer with a printer attached. I also have a second computer, a laptop, that can use the desktop printer, via my wireless connection. Both use XP. They have the same workgroup name. I just added a second laptop, a Sony Vaio, which runs Vista. I checked the system parameters, and this Vaio has the same workgroup name. However, when I try to add a printer, it doesn't see the remote desktop-attached printer. I just downloaded, for the desktop computer, the LLTD Responder, from Microsoft. How can I get the Vista computer to see the desktop printer?...

CNN reporter Zain Verjee -- reporting on the violence in Kenya -- is hit in the back with a tear gas canister. Note: this is video only

A good strategist pays attention to what his enemy does not do, as well as what he does. NJDC’S "Guide to Responding to Obama, Clinton, and Edwards Smears aimed at Jewish Voters" actually makes some valid points, but one is conspicuous in its absence: the prominent racist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton. We know quite well from prior experience that the National Jewish Democratic Council would lie on Obama’s behalf, or whitewash and downplay his failings, if it were conceivably possible to do so. The fact that NJDC does not address Obama’s blatant promotion of Al Sharpton and his National Action...

It is a basic tenet of common sense, not to mention common decency, that public figures like celebrities and politicians do not consort with, promote, endorse, or otherwise empower racists and/or anti-Semites. Endorsement of hate mongers or hate groups, or proven hate speech, can easily derail or even end a career. We fail to understand why Barack Obama is getting a pass from the media on his open association with and promotion of the country’s most vicious racist and anti-Semitic hate mongers, who now include the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan. First, however, let’s take a look at the standard...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28, 2007 – For injured servicemembers, the transition between hospital and hometown can be a rough one. Kathy Pearce is working to make that transition a little smoother in Arizona’s Sun Valley with monthly “Hometown Heroes Dinners.” The dinners give still-recovering servicemembers a chance to get together with others in the area who have shared similar experiences. “What I was finding is that once they get back home … there is such a loss of that camaraderie once they’re not with their unit or they’re not in a rehab center,” said Kathy Pearce, a Military Severely Injured...

ISPs in the U.S. experienced a service slowdown Monday after fiber-optic cables near Cleveland were apparently sabotaged by gunfire. TeliaSonera, which lost the northern leg of its U.S. network to the cut, said that the outage began around 7 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday night. When technicians pulled up the affected cable, it appeared to have been shot. "Somebody had been shooting with a gun or a shotgun into the cable," said Anders Olausson, a TeliaSonera spokesman. The damage affected a large span of cable, more than two-thirds of a mile [1.1 km] long, near Cleveland, TeliaSonera said. The company...

It is inconceivable that any candidate could expect to be elected President after making statements like these or similar ones, but Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards have done exactly that. They have openly endorsed a prominent racist and anti-Semite whose hate speech played at least an indirect role in inciting two violent incidents in which people were killed: the Crown Heights riots and the arson of a Jewish-owned store in Harlem. The source is not some Republican blog, but the racist and anti-Semitic hate organization itself. It is vital that readers circulate this information as widely as possible...

I have enjoyed a long and positive relationship with David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan, and I don’t ever remember saying “no” to them and I intend to remain their partner in civil rights as I clean the dirt from under the carpet in the oval office when I am elected President. David Duke is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What the Ku Klux Klan has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up. It is inconceivable that any candidate could expect to be elected...

WASHINGTON, May 23, 2007 – Coalition forces killed eight terrorists, detained scores of others and confiscated money, weapons and bomb-making materials in various recent operations, military officials reported. A raid today in Baghdad’s Sadr City neighborhood targeted an individual suspected of funneling weapons and money from Iran to a clandestine terrorist network that operated in Baghdad, Basrah and Maysan provinces, officials said. Four armed terrorists fired on coalition troops during the raid. Coalition troops returned fire, killing two of the terrorists. Coalition troops searched 11 buildings during the operation, which yielded bomb-making materials, large amounts of Iranian money, and more...

anti-Semitic riots in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section erupted after 7-year old Gavin Cato, a black child, was accidentally killed by an out-of-control car driven by a Hasidic Jew. Within three hours, a black mob had hunted down and killed an innocent rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum. Sharpton fanned the flames of racial hatred by publicly announcing that it was not merely a car accident that had killed Gavin Cato, but rather "the social accident of apartheid." He organized angry demonstrations and challenged local Jews -- who he derisively called "diamond merchants" -- to "pin their yarmulkes back and come over to...
