Security firm aims to ease RFID concerns

RFID – good for business inventory, bad for you-the-person. Hooray for some blocking tech.

Moore's Law – The immorality of the Ten Commandments

Moore's Law – The immorality of the Ten Commandments

This is a different Moore's law than the tech one. This also happens to be different than my own personal Moore's Improbability Theory. No, this is about that cacajamie fucknut Roy Moore.

It's also not nearly as funny as George Carlin's riff on the theme, and he did it 30 years ago. Then again, Carlin's a genius and Hitchens… is not.

Yep. Quake in a terminal window. In text. I have one word for that:

AWESOME

Bonus points for the flippant site as well. This guy rules.

Judge Rejects Fox News' Request for Injunction on Franken Book

Those asshat first amendment killers at fox news lose, lose, loo-hoo-hooooze. The judge said "There are hard cases and there are easy cases. This is an easy case. This case is wholly without merit, both factually and legally."

In other words, eff yew, fox.

Spammer ducks for cover as details published on web

Notice a drop in spam lately? It's because this pigfucker has been driven to quit by vigilante justice. I'm not normally and advocate for vigilante justice, but hey, worked this time.

Neal Stephenson is one of my favorite writers. He's angry, funny, witty, and intelligent. His new book is coming out shortly. I can hardly wait.

Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics

I just like the site. Favorite one was the Die Hard drop, althought that may have been another movie physics site since I can't seem to find it now.

Hee. Geek humor. Mix of law, free/open source, and humor, but put in the evil category because that's what SCO is. If I had a "fucking retarded and evil" category, they'd go there instead.

To quote: "We've been holding our tongue on the GPL until IBM put it on the table. I predict that the GPL is not stable in its current form because copyright law pre-empts the GPL."

Wow. That's way up there in the ignorance scale. Further down the list, you'll see Darl McBride turning to paranoid delusions of a widespread counter-him campaign by IBM. What a nutjob.
