Infantry Div. Ordered to Gulf

Oh, but we're totally committed to the UN weapons inspection process. Totally! I mean it! We don't plan to invade regardless of the inspections at all! Nope. Nope. Not at all.

Microsoft Reader format CRACKED!

Microsoft Reader format CRACKED!

OK, this guy is either a supergenius or … he's not very bright. Evidence: a) program name: clit.exe. b) he announces it publicly and additionally states his willingness to make a .dll so others may use the technology more easily.

Either he's looking to take up the Elcomsoft/DeCSS mantle as poster-boy for the anti-DMCA league or he's crazy like a fox. I give the MS attorneys about, oh, 36 hours before this guy get's a DMCA coloscopy.

Kroger Lets Shoppers Pay Via Fingerprint

Kroger Lets Shoppers Pay Via Fingerprint

What do we have here? A hard-charging latecomer to the Worst Ideas of 2002 category. Mmm… Panopticon. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to have fingerprint scanners at the grocery store? Further, what retarded assmunches would actually give their fingerprint?!

Come on, y'all. If we can't even beat the supermarkets in the anti-Panopticon, who the hell can we beat?

Appeasement, Please: The case for paying North Korea's nuclear blackmail.

Appeasement, Please: The case for paying North Korea's nuclear blackmail.

Good overview of how the situation came about. Synopsis: N. Korea's always practiced brinksmanship and the duhbya regime instigated this crisis in much the same way that America's halting of oil shipments to Japan precipitated the Pacific Theatre of WWII.

Water-based “streaming” media. a) I love the pun and b) I love this outside the box thinking. data rate is really low, naturally, and it totally sounds like a parody… but I think they're being serious. either way… cool.

Rub a Dub Dub, Books for the Tub

Cool! Waterproof books, better than laminated paper. I don't really see a use for it, what with me being a dry-read kind of person… but still, cool.

'Designer baby' banned by judge

'Designer baby' banned by judge

So the anti-choice, “every sperm is sacred, every life holy” brigade succeeded in their attempts to stop a couple from using an embryo's stem cells to save their 3 year old's life. So the “pro-life” group has now essentially murdered 2 lives by their reckoning: one, the unconceived embryo and the 3 year old. Ignorant twits.

XP Flaw Puts MP3, Windows Media Files at Risk

Jesus, what kind of crappy programming does it take to make a tooltip be able to root your box. Ridiculous!

… and reason number 302129 why you shouldn't use a MS OS.

Here's a link to a discussion of the winamp exploit as well.
