Just-in Time bin Laden boxed-in in Pakistan.

<<Britain's Sunday Express newspaper reported that bin Laden and a small group of followers had been "boxed in" by U.S. and British special forces in the mountains on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Citing "two senior American sources" — a senior Republican and an intelligence source — the newspaper said bin Laden was within a 10-by-10-mile area being monitored by a U.S. spy satellite.>>

Bush is going to to display him. 52% are against his re-lection!!!!

Raymond, superconducting maglev vehicles with electronic and photonic controls will be the end of the industial revolution.

The modern vehicle is still just a mass of moving belts, cogs, pistons, gears, shafts and wheels. An industrial factory shrunk down and made almost friction free. It is a Gordian Knot of entangled complexity under the bonnet [or hood] and in the drive train. Then there are wheels hydroplaning along with human activated hydraulic brakes. It's not a thing one would invent from a clean slate. It just grew like Topsy.

No moving parts is much better; safer, cheaper, quieter, cleaner, quicker. Well, one moving part. The carriage itself.
