| 100-year-old finishes marathon, earns record (Posted by Bookworm on October 19 2011) |
(AP) TORONTO - A 100-year-old runner became the oldest person to complete a full-distance marathon when he finished the race in Toronto on Sunday.
Indian-born Fauja Singh earned a spot in the Guinness World Book of Records for his accomplishment.
It took Singh more than eight hours to cross the finish line — more than six hours after Kenya's Kenneth Mungara won the event for the fourth straight year — and he was the last competitor to complete the course.

| Ensure your email address is valid! (Posted by Red Squirrel on June 21 2011) |
In the far future, I may be merging this forum with Iceteks. This will probably require you to reset your password, which will require your email to be valid.
If an account on Iceteks exists with the same email then that will become the primary account.
I have not decided 100% how or if I will even do this, but it's just a thought at this point.
No matter what your email should always be up to date anyway, so this is just a general reminder, but if I go with this, it is very important.
It's just an idea in the air at this point....(Read more)

| Attention: Change your passwords (Posted by Red Squirrel on January 28 2011) |
Another website on this server has been compromised and it is a good possibility that this forum's database has been accessed and recorded.
Passwords are stored in a irreversible hash so they are not in clear text, however a reverse attack to try every possible hash combination until it matches, is a possible way to reverse the hash. This can take long, but it is important that passwords be changed before they are reversed from the stored hashes from the possibly compromised database. It is also advised that if you use this password anywhere else, that you change it there too.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. A full security audit will be conducted and the hacked site has been disabled until a solution is found to stop the attacks....(Read more)

| 'Yuppie 911' (Posted by Bookworm on November 03 2009) |
FRESNO, Calif. -- Last month two men and their teenage sons tackled one of the world's most unforgiving summertime hikes: the Grand Canyon's parched and searing Royal Arch Loop. Along with bedrolls and freeze-dried food, the inexperienced backpackers carried a personal locator beacon -- just in case.
In the span of three days, the group pushed the panic button three times, mobilizing helicopters for dangerous, lifesaving rescues inside the steep canyon walls.
What was that emergency? The water they had found to quench their thirst "tasted salty."
If they had not been toting the device that works like Onstar for hikers, "we would have never attempted this hike," one of them said after the third rescue crew forced them to board their helicopter. It's a growing problem facing the men and women who risk their lives when they believe others are in danger of losing theirs.

| Church of Scientology (Posted by Stasi on October 27 2009) |
While I am not a fan whatsoever of the "Church" of Scientology, I think the charge and conviction of fraud is a bit harsh here. But then again, I don't know French law.
