1). Cockney Rhyming Slang
Sir Winston Churchill once observed that Americans and the British are 'a common people divided by a common language' ...
Never was that as true as when describing the Cockneys.
You've certainly heard their accent, made famous in everything from movies based on Dickens and George Bernard Shaw novels to computer-generated gekkos telling real gekkos how to go forth and sell car insurance.

2). Virus Strains
What we need is the Dewey Decimal System to go digital ...
Specifically, someone needs to coax their keepers into putting some logical order into how computer viruses are sorted.
Recently, warnings abounded about the Kama Sutra virus quickly proliferating cyberspace, joining the Grew.A and Nyxem.E as serious threats to computer file security. However, only those who took a closer look at these strains were able to discover that they all had something in common.

3). FBI Raids: Pertinent or Paranoid?
Business always moves faster than government ...
It's no surprise that a great deal of lawmakers' time is spent reacting to advances in commerce and science. It's also no surprise that one of their favorite tactics is to call on their enforcement agencies to bring scrutiny against any topic about which they're struggling to understand.
We're now seeing this applied against at least two e-currency operations.

4). Chain of Fools
It seems the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval has been replaced by Oprah Winfrey when it comes to a validation of credibility ...
Having said that, if I'm not mistaken, all the former ever meant was that the product or service in question paid to advertise in Good Housekeeping magazine.
Still, in the vast anonymity of the cybermarket, a claim of credibility is vital to those who wish to convince us to send them money.

5). Modern Wonders
Apparently, it's time to turn the page on the original Seven Wonders of the World ...
Since only one of them is left standing, and since most people can't remember what the rest of them are, anyway, this is a good idea for someone who has too much time on their hands and the ability to raise money.
In this instance, that would narrow the candidates down to one Bernard Weber.

6). DXCafés: The New E-conomy Is Coming
It seems they've been busy on the isle of Vanuatu ...
That's where a company called Global Digital Transfers Inc ('GDT') placed their headquarters for DXinOne, the e-currency exchange system that is the main topic on Longer Life's Opportunity page.
Since I last looked at the DXiO website, I've seen a number of new developments there, featuring services from travel to advertising with earnings and payments tendered by their unique coin of the cyber-realm, the digot.

7). Misspelled Scriptures
One way to confirm that cyberspace is the great equalizer is to observe the quality of editing that exists ...
I am truly amazed at the mangling endured by the English language on a significant number of sites. It's fair to assume that this malady has its roots in short attention spans during the school years. As a result, accuracy is often the first victim of poor spelling and grammar.

8). The Game Is the Name
Shakespeare could wax poetic about 'What's in a Name?' because he didn't have to contend with sports mascots ...
It's the politically-correct issue in America that refuses to subside. I consider myself to be an enlightened cyberbeing, but I contend there are just some topics that blur the bigger picture of an ethically responsible society, and complaining that mascots can be degrading is near the top of the list.

9). Dinar Quagmire
Online speculation regarding the 'investment opportunity' the new Iraqi Dinar represents is becoming a virtual cottage industry ...
However,I'm already on record as believing it's a great way to acquire wallpaper one note at a time.
With that in mind, I've noticed that a recent statement from the USA government has announced that they've 'hit the wall' budgetarily in Iraq; they've given enough financial aid to rebuild Iraq.

10). Beer Through the Years
No one really knows exactly how the first beer came into being ...
Suffice it to say that, around 10,000 years ago, somebody let a primordial barley and hop concoction stand long enough for it to ferment. The result not only made anonymous history, it was the genesis of beer's own special influence throughout the ages.
Here are a few examples of note:
It was the accepted practice in Babylonia, as early as 4000 years ago, that for a month after a wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.

11). Online Purchase Parameters Fortified and Simplified
An interesting ruling was made in the British Court of Appeals recently ...
The justices determined that British customers who use a credit card abroad or on the internet will be given the same protection as those who shop in Britain.
This decision allows purchasers to reclaim funds from their card company if the product they buy is faulty or does not arrive.

12). Viking Trekkies
History weaves its influence into pop culture via many avenues ... One of the strangest is the Viking influence on Star Trek, especially The Next Generation.
Ever since that series found the airwaves, I've often wondered if one or more of its writers were descended from peoples who endured raids from the North and then used this show to exact their version of revenge.

13). Compromised Positions
There is no denying that the sports business these days is awash in bright lights ...
Quite often, though, the same can't be said for the people or practices involved.
The passage of time, the fading of origins and the constant superseding of slang can combine to cause some curious contemporary contexts.
To start, have you ever really thought about.

14). Rock-&-Roll Surrogate
Years ago, upon my first-ever arrival in Paris, there was no doubt as to where I would begin my itinerary ...
I went immediately to the Père Lachaise cemetery.
That's the final resting place of such luminaries as Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Sarah Berhhardt and Chopin. If I had been there during daylight, I'm sure I would have taken my time to pay my respects to each of them and others.

15). Traffic Tracking Satellites Are Here
Space-age technology has given us a number of modern mainstays ...
Now, it's about to give us a traffic ticket.
Satellite tracking has come to the highways. The United Arab Emirates has begun the process of deploying 700,000 black boxes in their citizens' vehicles for the purpose of tracking them to collect roadway tolls and, when necessary, citing speeders.
