HOTEL LIVING

HERE's A TIP FOR WHEN YOU'RE ON THE ROAD . . .





When you check into your hotel room, make sure to unplug the alarm clock radio. This is so you don't get woken up at zero-dark-thirty with some kind of loud, obnoxious painful noise and music by the jackass who stayed in the room before and set up a time-release boobytrap.


Then just before you check out, make sure to plug the alarm clock radio back in, and set it to go off at zero-dark-thirty; set the thing on the most irritating, aggravating, rude, crude & insulting Gangsta Rap noize you can find on the dial, and be sure to crank that volume right up . . .


. . . you'll be doing the next guy a favor - how else will he learn the trick to unplug the radio?


Look at it as a sort of Public Service . . .

I Was Wrong: There Probably Will Be an Electronic Pearl Harbor

by Ira Winkler


"Pearl Harbor was a preemptive strike against the US Pacific Fleet. It significantly degraded the US Naval capability for several years. If the aircraft carriers were in Pearl Harbor as the Japanese expected, it could have been a complete knockout blow . . .


. . . things are developing to the point where there can be a strategic attack on computer infrastructures. The key word is Strategic."
