April Fools Virus…

The IT folks tell me there is an April Fools Virus out and about…MiM will have autoposts up for a few days around April 1st…..

We’ll be back up in time for the G20 wrapup, LOL…..

Jacksonville News:

A computer virus rumored to go into effect on April Fools Day may have already infected millions of PCs, according to some computer experts.

They said a virus may well be worming its way through the bowels of some people’s computers, and on April 1 the computer world will either be the victim of a huge hoax or a huge headache.

“It’s triggered by date, but April 1 is supposed to be the date this virus is executed,” said lead Geek Choice technician Mike Burns. “When it hits, I’ll take care of it. That is my job.”Burns said the virus known as the Conficker Worm, which is believed to activate on April Fool’s Day, is a very real threat.

Gordon Brown to G20: Spendaholics of the World Unite!

Somebody save us from these loons, they are spending us ALL into the next millenium..they want GLOBAL bankruptcy apparently to ensure no one can recover..

Now that TOTUS has his budget to bankrupt us for generations sailing along nicely, he is off for the second leg of his Grand Tour in which he and Gordon Brown convince the rest of the industrialized world that they too can make friends and influence people, if they just keep spending…

WTH is wrong with these people?

CNBC/AFX:

A draft G20 communique shows Britain wants the group of leading economies to pledge $2 trillion in stimulus when they meet in London next week, German magazine Der Spiegel reported…

In the draft communique it cited, the magazine also said the $2 trillion was in brackets, showing that it is a proposal by G20 president Britain that has not been approved by the broader group. Der Spiegel said the draft stated the stimulus would boost growth by 2 percentage points and employment by 19 million….

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who will host the April 2 summit, has said he expects world leaders to do “whatever it takes” to create growth and jobs when they come together.

The draft cited by Der Spiegel includes the following pledge: “We are determined to restore growth, resist protectionism and to reform our markets and institutions for the future.” It continues: “We believe that an open world economy, based on the principles of the market, effective regulation and strong global institutions, can ensure sustainable globalisation with rising well-being for all.”

SciFi: Firefly Episodes…

youtube just gives and gives, lol, now Firefly…(Hulu episodes here)

firefly

For anyone new to Firefly, here are two parts of the first episode  Sadly FOX cancelled the show and showed the episodes in a different order than intended, making it harder to gain traction in its first outing…but please give Firefly and Dollhouse a chance..(SciFi aired the episodes in the correct order, as Joss intended, listing below)…Available on blu-ray

These two parts of Serenity are faster paced, if you enjoy them, go watch them in order on FireflyEpisodes

Serenity, Part 8

Serenity, Part 9

From TV.com forums, the intended order for viewing Firefly:

The correct order of episodes is:
Serenity (parts 1 & 2)
The Train Job
Bushwhacked
Shindig
Safe
Our Mrs. Reynolds
Jaynestown
Out of Gas
Ariel
War Stories
Trash
The Message
Heart of Gold
Objects in Space

Breaking: WH: TOTUS will Announce Auto Plan Monday…

thehomer

CNBC Chyron; WH announcement: Auto Task Force winding down decisions to be made on aid, announcement to be made by TOTUS Monday

This is fascinating because the debt holders have been LOUDLY complaining they don’t want a cramdown when the union isn’t cramming down to the level Steve Rattner (head of TOTUS’ Auto Task Force) is announcing as a done deal left and right for two weeks..

Also GM has been publicly stating they do not need or want anymore government money, but Rattner has been floating the idea that GM needs billions, more than tens of billions more..

Mr. Rattner dismisses the idea that his team may not have enough auto expertise to tackle the job. “We are not trying to run car companies,” he says. He compares the work to what he and others have done in the private sector. “This is the type of investment decision that many of us on this team are used to making.”

…Mr. Bloom focused on minute aspects of the business strategy, and Mr. Rattner, on how the deal would be structured. People on the Fiat team came away thinking that the task force’s questions betrayed a limited understanding of the industry. “It’s fair to say we walked out of the meeting and were a little unsettled,” says one member of the Fiat team….

…The bondholders’ attorneys laid out the details of a plan to exchange debt for equity, which would reduce pressure on GM to repay the bondholders. As the lawyers walked through a litany of potential challenges, Messrs. Rattner and Bloom took notes, offering minimal commentary, according to people who attended the meeting. Since then, the bondholders committee has had little contact with the task force. Its lawyers say they were surprised two weeks later when Mr. Rattner publicly criticized them for not being flexible enough….
