If near identical, near simultaneous transactions are submitted, the system is programmed to ignore all but one of the transactions. Thieves in California and Nevada discovered the flaw and took advantage of it.
Wired Magazine ran a cool piece on a guy, Bruce Townsley, that bought an abandoned missile silo and built a home in it. He purchased the 2,2000 square foot Atlas F silo in 1997 at a price of $99,000. It’s located in Abilene, Texas and from above, looks like an empty lot with a flag…

Reminiscent of the Jobs expulsion a few decades ago, Scott Forstall was ousted from Apple yesterday, regardless of what Apple may or may not admit. His design taste, abrasive personality, aggressive risk taking, belief that Apple was not working hard enough on “big ideas”, and of course, the iOS Maps fiasco, all rubbed Tim Cook…
A prototype Lexus 4 smartphone, marked “not for sale” on the back, was found by a bartender at the 500 Club in San Francisco. Of course they did what any good geek civilian would do – they took pictures of it to post online. Afterward they contacted Google who offered the bartender a free phone…
It’s strange enough that Barnes and Noble did not notify customers about the data breach that leaked the customers’ credit card numbers; but the hack itself appears to be an insider job or a coordinated remote or wireless attack against Barnes and Noble credit card pin devices in stores across the United States. 63 stores…

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
