The Bug That Didn T Bite

So glitch-free, in fact, that you couldn’t blame skeptics for wondering whether the whole thing was a hype. Certainly one suspects that for Y2K specialists, the accumulating evidence that nothing had gone wrong in essential services might have seemed, let’s say, an embarrassment of riches. For years they have been pounding us with dire scenarios of what might happen if we didn’t reach deep into our pockets to debug our systems....

The Burning Question Bryan Kohberger Affidavit Doesn T Answer

The probable cause affidavit reveals that a knife sheath was found in one of the victim’s rooms and investigators were able to use DNA from the sheath to build a DNA profile. The DNA profile was later linked to Kohberger’s father, prompting last week’s arrest. The affidavit also reveals evidence of how Kohberger allegedly surveilled the 1122 King Road residence on numerous occasions and even includes a description of a male that a surviving roommate saw in the home on the night of the murders....

The Case For A Sonic Mania Sequel

The Central Talking Point About The Next Stimulus Bill Is Wrong Opinion

With that argument leading the way, many Republican lawmakers are pushing to end a federal provision that allows workers to collect up to $600 more per week than they usually would under unemployment. As Newsweek reported, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., “described the choice to give some people more money not to work was a ’terrible, terrible, terrible idea and never should have passed in the first place.'” The belief that most people receiving these payments are financially incentivized to stay home is the inevitable result of a spate of recent headlines....

The Company Tough Second Act

It could fall even further. Since Stewart took her empire public in 1999, investors have worried whether the firm could survive if its namesake suffered, say, a disabling injury. In many ways her conviction is even more harmful: besides removing her from management, it taints an enterprise built on wholesomeness and good taste. Even before the verdict, ad pages at Martha Stewart Living were down 30 percent; last week the company announced its first annual loss....

The Contrary Voice Of Janet Reno

On the basic issue of fighting crime, Reno is sharply at odds with her boss. In the crime package Clinton unveiled in August, he proposed expanding the death penalty to 50 more offenses, putting more cops on the street and cutting back on the number of times convicted killers can appeal their sentences. It was a politically pleasing offering that most lawmen heartily endorsed. The only problem is that Reno, the nation’s chief law-enforcement officer, doesn’t think it will work....

The Big Sleep

OK, while I haven’t announced my condition with brazen acceptance to a semi-circle of strangers drinking watered-down coffee from Styrofoam cups, the term “narcoleptic” has wriggled its way onto my list of defining characteristics, right there with “recent college graduate” and “dog lover.” I’ve had the symptoms for about eight years. For years, I would routinely sleep for 14-plus hours and still nod off during “Desperate Housewives.” If my presence was not required somewhere (school, work), getting out of bed seemed pointless since I would fall asleep again within an hour....

The Borowitz Report Cia Using American Ceos To Infiltrate Al Qaeda

“We believe that the forces of evil have finally met their match,” says a CIA spokesman. While the CIA would not identify which corporate sleazebags had been used in the highly sensitive operation, intelligence sources believe they were plucked from the ranks of Enron, Tyco, Xerox, WorldCom, Sotheby’s and more than 90 other recently disgraced companies. The unidentified CEOs have reportedly been so successful in cooking Al Qaeda’s books that the once-flush terror network is now $30 billion in debt and may have to sell its long-profitable terror training camps at fire-sale prices....

Allison Samuels first met Denzel Washington 15 years ago. She was a college sophomore on a newspaper internship. He was performing in a Broadway show and had recently earned his first Academy Award nomination for “Cry Freedom.” As they talked backstage, Samuels found “just a regular guy.” Today, “he still wears jeans and T shirts,” says Samuels. “You can walk right past him on the street.” This winter, over jasmine tea, the two discussed sports, music, family and, of course, his role in Hollywood–which last week awarded Washington the fifth Oscar nomination of his career, for “Training Day....
