If you want to ride high speed rail just for the hell of it, take the Japanese Shinkansen. The Chinese Harmony Trains aren’t nearly as good, and the food SUCKS. They foisted the contract off to someone’s brother in Beijing and he’s retired in Canada on all the money he made serving substandard food to passengers.

Cause it’s like a week and a half stuck in a metal box, eating shitty food.

I heard the trans Siberian railway is full of thieves who get on for a short segment, rob you blind, and get off at the next stop.

Password Safe and the Twofish encryption algorithm it uses were originally developed and released to the public by Bruce Schneier and Counterpane Labs.

Password Safe is now an open source project hosted at sourceforge.net. The latest program updates, documentation, and news can be located at http://pwsafe.org.

The hippies did change the world permanently. The stereotype of the college professor used to be a stodgy old conservative with a sportscoat and patches on the elbows. Today’s professor has a ponytail and is adjacent to Marxism. Change happens, it just doesn’t happen as fast as people would like. It does happen, though, and it is irreversible.

The whole point behind Lovecraft’s stories was that they were extraordinary events occurring in mundane surroundings. You know, like your town!

I wouldn’t expect anything else.
