Ummm…

Thursday, January 6, 2005

Sorry for the lame title but I’m kinda now sure what to say. I happened to find out about a movie that is coming out on Jan. 14th called The Helix…Loaded. Looks like a Matrix spoof. This is sad enough but then I checked out the listing on IMDB and saw the cast. Robert Van [...]

Gmail Spam

Thursday, December 9, 2004

So, I got an invitation and created a Gmail account a while back. My intention was to never use it and see how long before it started getting spammed. We now have the answer. As you can see, I opened the Gmail account on September 7th. You will also notice that I broke my rule [...]

Clusterfuck Alert!

Tuesday, November 30, 2004

Ok, I was perusing my news aggregator and found an article at Kuro5hin entitled ‘Radio Boycott of Skinny Puppy’s new album urged’. My thought was, ‘Wow! Skinny Puppy still exists?’ So I read on. It details a letter sent from the Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood, a right-wing nut case group, to radio stations who [...]

AOL Cans M$ Spam Plan

Thursday, September 16, 2004

Well, Commodore’s bastard child, AOL, has told Micro$oft to piss off. As reported here, here, here (see Sloth, a macworld link!!!), here, and here, AOL has decided that M$’s idea of patented anti-spam technology isn’t such a good idea and has opted out. In a statement, AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham said the company’s objections had [...]

Another one I should have though of…

Tuesday, July 6, 2004

Over at Cool Tools I found an article about BugMeNot. This is one of those cool sites that actually get around some of the more annoying practices on the web. Have you ever been to the NY Times website? They make you ‘register’ before you can view their content. Now I’m sure you are all [...]

Beastie BS

Sunday, June 27, 2004

I reported eariler that the new Beastie Boys album pulled some shitty DRM business. Although I didn’t specifically note that it wasn’t included in the US and UK releases (because it’s basically illegal to do so and that is also the deepest pocketed customer base) it was mentioned in the linked articles. I also hoped [...]

IIS, IE exploit unleashed

Friday, June 25, 2004

Good Golly Miss Molly! I need to create a ‘Why IE is so fucked up’ category. Read up on the lastest IE exploit at ArsTechnia here. Then promptly go to here, here, or here and get yourself a browser that not only isn’t one of the biggest gaping security holes known to man but also [...]

AhOL – You’ve got SPAM!

Thursday, June 24, 2004

Holy crap! This is one cold hearted MoFo! According to this article at The Spam Weblog some stooge at AOL snagged their customer list (92 million!!!) and sold it to a spammer. He got arrested as did the spammer but apparently not before the spammer sold the list to other spammers. Though I suppose I [...]

Un-Licensed to Ill?

Wednesday, June 23, 2004

You know, I have always been a fan of the Beasties. How 3 white, jewish rappers from Brooklyn ever managed to break into the genre continues to amaze me even to this day. Now I find out, according to The Register and other places, that the newest installment from the boys installs DRM on your [...]
