Acme Klein Bottles
Clifford Stoll really does make Klein Bottles by the way, his Acme Klein Bottle company has been going since 1999, and he hasn’t updated the HTML since by the look of it! :)
When I’m really good I’m going to buy myself a Klein Stein as a cola ‘n caffeine respository for when I’m doing that work stuff.
The Imaginary NBS Satellite
According to a plausible account on Boards.ie, the 8% satellite aspect of the frankly useless National “Broadband” Scheme is, basically, imaginary. The satellite in question hasn’t even been built yet, and the launch vehicle that’s supposed to lob it into orbit hasn’t flown. Ever. I have to wonder who’s a bigger langer, John Doherty or Eamon Ryan.
(Obviously I’m being facetious. Eamon Ryan wins by a long shot, with an incompetence and lies double-whammy. John Doherty’s just a dickhead.)
