Sunday Telegraph UK Floats this Theory:

The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that the first tranche of documents, to be published in full tomorrow after an initial release tonight, are expected to feature "lively commentaries" by US diplomats on world leaders, including Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean president, Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, and Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya.

Coalition sources say Tuesday's haul will deal with North and South Korea, as well as Guantánamo Bay, while Wednesday's tranche will include comments on Pakistan and counter-piracy operations in Djibouti.

Thursday will see attention focus on the Canadians and their "inferiority complex" while corruption allegations in Afghanistan will be under the spotlight on Friday. Saturday will cover Yemen while next Sunday will see the focus shift to China.

As for this messy post, sorry - Data Dumps: The Bane of E-Discovery — Slaw :-D .... Let the Cables Begin!

Well that whole "I fixed it" thing lasted until the next morning. It seemed ok, I put it to sleep. Next morning I pulled it up and got about 4 browser windows open. It locked up with a weird hi-pitched whine and I had to shut it off. Then I couldn't get it back up again, even when rebooting with PRAM / PMU zaps.

I am really lucky that it's still under the extended AppleCare warranty so I will be able to get it (and the bum original DVD drive) fixed or replaced free.

Fortunately the Apple Store genius guy was able to deduce that it worked in Target disk mode, hence the motherboard is probably not fried. But without any monitor displaying, it seems that the video card is most likely fried.

While I definitely put the G5 through its paces, I don't think much of anything really happened to physically damage it. (that's the big difference between laptops and desktops, for real)

Three lessons: A) Back up your damn data (I'm all worried right now because I didn't do that recently)
B) Get the extended warranty
C) Should probably get an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery - that might have kept the components in better shape.

We'll get back into real posts later. Damn I am feeling antisocial these days. I should get the fuck away from all computers and towards beer and barbecue, eh?
