U.S. Coast Guard Cutter "Dallas" Lost at Sea


Hmmm... U.S. Coast Guard cutter "Dallas" seems to have gotten lost, since (last time I checked) THE U.S. COAST IS NOWHERE NEAR THE BLACK SEA.

It doesn't matter whether the Coast Guard cutter ship is there "for humanitarian reasons" or not, it's the type of action that makes the US look either a) aggressive, b) stupid, or c) both a & b.

Originial Blade Server


Wikipedia mentions plenty about blade servers here.

But strangely... in Wikipedia's "history of blade servers" section, no mention is made of Zorro.
