Hooray!

SpamAssassin has been voted DataMation Anti-Spam Product of the Year for 2006, earning three times as many votes as the next contender.

This is the second year in a row, which is fantastic — and our margin is increasing each year. ;)

IraqBodyCount.net on the JDAM bomb:

The B-2 bomber carries sixteen 2′000 lb. JDAM bombs. If all goes 100% as planned (the bomb does not fall outside of its specified margin of error of 13 meters, and the GPS guidance system is not foiled by a $50 radio jammer kit, easily purchased), then here is what one such bomb does :

• everyone within a 120 meter radius is killed;
• to be safe from serious shrapnel damage, a person must be at least 365
  • meters away;

• to be really safe from all effects of fragmentation, a person must be 1000 meters away, according to Admiral Stufflebeem.

  The B-2s will be used upon targets within Baghdad.

Sounds like the perfect weapon for use in tight city streets. :(
