StreetWars is a 3 week long, 24/7, watergun assassination tournament that has already taken place in New York City, Vancouver, Vienna, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Chicago, Paris and is now coming back to New York City  

At the start of the game you will receive a manila envelope containing the following:  

A picture of your intended target(s) The home address of your intended target(s) The work address of your intended target(s) The name of your intended target(s) Contact information of your intended target(s) Upon receipt of these items, your (or your team's) mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target(s).  

You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, etc.  

If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your (or your team's) picture(s) and name(s). Then you win. Cash...but first live in fear.

At a recent conference, rocket scientists from NASA, the U.S. Air Force and academia doused humanity's interstellar dreams in cold reality. The scientists, presenting at the Joint Propulsion Conference in Hartford, Connecticut, analyzed many of the designs for advanced propulsion that others have proposed for interstellar travel. The calculations show that, even using the most theoretical of technologies, reaching the nearest star in a human lifetime is nearly impossible.

6. Scarface
Why We're Afraid

If you've ever watched an episode of MTV Cribs you know that, besides 7 cars they don't drive and 3 dead behind the eyes models soaking in a hot tub, the one item that every rap star must own is a Scarface poster. Somehow, Al Pacino in an ugly suit has come to represent everything that thugs out there aspire to be. That's why we're afraid. We don't want to get shot.

Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman will soon be major players in the world of massively multiplayer games, at least if Sony Online Entertainment has any say in the matter. The publisher showed a pre-alpha version of DC Universe Online, the upcoming superhero MMO for PC and PlayStation 3, at San Diego Comic-Con.

The artwork for "Kirisute Gomen", the first song to be released from TRIVIUM's new album "Shogun", can be viewed below. The track will be available for 24 hours as an MP3 download from all Roadrunner and TRIVIUM web sites from Thursday, July 31 at midnight EST (5:00 a.m. UK time).

#2.A Computer Might Become Self-Aware At Any Moment

Worst Offender: WarGames

What Happened:A teenage hacker (Matthew Broderick), using an early-80s computer that looks like it may have parts made of wood, accidentally hacks into NORAD' supercomputer (code named "WOPR") and finds out it is sentient and intends to launch a global nuclear war as a way to amuse itself.

In Real Life... The microwave-sized IMSAI 8080 computer the hero used to take over the nation' nuclear missile fleet had 64KB of memory. That means if it tried to open this article as a Word document, it'd get about half way through before it ran out.

Reddit Top was actually derived from Hacker Top. Hacker Top was made in such a manner that it required me just to write a new parser for Reddit to create the new program. The program is written in Python programming language and uses ncurses interface for displaying the stories.
