American Spy Goof-Up: China Navy Report Posted On Web -- Business Standard

A mistake by a US Navy intelligence official has given the world an unexpected peek into the secret world of China’s navy. The US Office for Naval Intelligence (ONI) committed the blunder of posting, on an open website, the agency’s assessment of the state of the Chinese navy.

I'm in a love-hate relationship with digital memory because of the way prices are always falling. I absolutely hate buying Micro SD Cards for my R4 / R4i at (what seems to be) a crazy bargain price only to see it become a whole lot more cheaper a couple of weeks later.
