Slashdot: This Rare Friday the 13th

"Juha-Matti Laurio writes to point out a Washington Times story about
how special this particular Friday the 13th is. The digits in the numerical
notation for the date add up to 13 — whether you write it in the US or the
European form. From the article:

"The phenomenon hasn't happened in 476 years, said Heinrich Hemme, a
physicist at Germany's University of Aachen who crunched the numbers to
find that the double-whammy last occurred Jan. 13, 1520."

***

"Vaguely more interesting and almost veering ON topic for slashdot, in binary notation todays date would be
1010 1101 11111010110
...which just so happens to have thirteen "1"s in it."

Wired: Gizmondo's Spectacular Crack-up

Directors of the game device company went on living large long
after their handheld flopped. Then a high-speed Ferrari crash blew
their world to bits.

"In just a few years, it seems, Eriksson went from languishing in a European
jail cell to making millions as a tech executive to, even more improbably,
becoming deputy commissioner of antiterrorism for an obscure Southern
California transit police force. Before -Eriksson lost control of his Ferrari in
Malibu, no one in the US really cared about his strange story. But after the
supercar came apart, Eriksson would find every inch of his life under scrutiny
by the LA County Sheriff's Department, federal law-enforcement officers,
and the media. That's when Eriksson and a tangle of cohorts would find out
just how large a little bump could loom."

Slashdot: A Brief History of 'sex.com'

"Violet Blue's current 'Open Source Sex' column in SFGate covers the amusingly
sordid history of sex.com. More graft and corruption than hanky-panky, the
article details some of the exploits surrounding the much-desired URL,
including an attempted assassination, drug smuggling, money laundering,
and a bid to buy out Ceasar's Palace. From the article: 'It's estimated that
Cohen made over $100 million off the URL in the years he had it, even
making a 1999 bid to buy Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and was only
forced to give it back to Kremen when a San Jose court awarded the URL
(and $65 million in damages) to Kremen in 2001. It had been a five-year
struggle for Kremen, both in battling his speed addiction and in trying to
raise funds for his own litigation. Even though his dot-com boom resume
boasted typical startup-style impressive credentials, Kremen was only able
to afford the court bills when bitter Sex.com porn industry rivals helped
fund the case."

"Having watched Press Your Luck since it premiered, Michael Larson, then

By taping the show religiously and pausing the tapes, Larson discovered that
there were just six light patterns on the board. With this bit of knowledge,

had accrued debt, sent him to work off that debt on yet another farm. But

facets of American life -- the civil rights movement, gender equity in
schools, advocacy for blind and disabled people."
