Fake Yorkshire Ripper gets 8 years Checked out some of todays stories on BBC.co.uk to find that the guy who faked being the Yorkshire ripper in the 1970's has been jailed for 8 years. Although its almost certain he'll serve less than that on good behaviour. If the nob hadnt of done so, maybe the real killer could of been stopped sooner, but with his hoax, the ripper continued to kill in Yorkshire while the police focused their efforts in Sunderland where the tapes were coming from. Commercial space flights by 2008? according to Virgin Galactic its possible. In fact am airstrip is being built in New Mexico by this new branch from Virgin which will be used solely for flights into space. Although im a little skeptical. Even with NASA's developments in space exploration, theres still been problems, even in this century. If they're having problems, what hope do we have? Well Space Adventures have already sent 3 people into outer space before using russian space technology, and they're planning to extend the '1 week in orbit', which the first paying customers received, to a trip to the other side of the moon. Well, if all goes well from all this competition into space, we could be looking at space tourism by 2010. But dont hold your breath. Google in trouble? It seems Google.com have got themselves in a spot of bother with the US goverment. They were ordered to hand over search data, including 50,000 web addresses to the US goverment by a federal judge. But peoples search addresses were withheld due to it being a breach of privacy. US police cock-up Two months ago a Virginia Doctor was killed by a Special Weapons and Tactics force. He had been under investigation for 3 months over illegal gambling and in line with a local police policy on "organised crime" raids, the heavily armed team was there to serve a search warrant. As he exited his house an officers handgun accidentely went off, which hit doctor Salvatore Culosi Jr through the chest, killing him. The investigation into his death continues. On a more personal note I've been working on FFnet.com for a friend. He's been busy with other stuff, so Ive just been updating the PHP files, making sure the script is the same throughout the site (although to tell the truth I havent completed it yet) so that it doesnt look too out of place.
