Brought to my attention by Wizbang, a LiveJournal user got visited by the secret service following an entry about wanting the president dead. Luckily for her, she has (as of the writing of this entry) about 86 pages of comments, the majority of which are in support.
Shock # This is just reinforcement of the idea that my generation refuses to take responsibility for what they do and say. She wished Bush dead, Cheney dead, and everyone in the administration dead.
I’m back after a hiatus last week. I forgot to write down my picks because I was going to my friend’s apartment for game one. The good news is that I’m going to remember for this week. Without further ado, they are:
Arizona vs. Buffalo Detroit vs. Dallas Jacksonville vs. Houston Indianapolis vs. Kansas City NY Giants vs. Minnesota Cincinnati vs Tennessee Green Bay vs. Washington Baltimore vs. Philadelphia Atlanta vs. Denver Carolina vs. Seattle New England vs. Pittsburgh Oakland vs. San Diego San Fransisco vs. Chicago Miami vs. NY Jets If you’ll notice, I actually picked the two undefeated teams to win again this week. The odds are against them, but the Eagles and Patriots are my two favorites for the Superbowl at this point. However, if another NFC team starts to pick up the slack, I will pick them over the Eagles simply because the Eagles always suck in the post season.
Curt Schilling is one of the most popular players in Red Sox Nation. His last two performances showed gritty determination and incredible ability.
The Magic Sock # Or did it? According to Laura Vecsey at the Baltimore Sun, it was a ruse. It’s good to know that Laura knows where the real news is. She’s getting down to the real issues. We can only hope that Bud Selig notices and forms an investigation team, a la the 9/11 Commission. This is important stuff. Forget that it’s wild speculation and the fact that the only evidence she seems to have comes out of New York:
No sooner than Peter Cohen mentions getting more than 11,000 comment spams than I realize that I had been hit. I previously had less than five spam comments. I now had about 50. Ugh.
Luckily, setting WordPress to moderate comments with more than 3 links in it did the trick. Considering the success he had with MT-Blacklist and MovableType, I thought it was time I got WPBlacklist which is the equivalent for WordPress. Installation was quick and easy.
I recently dumped Safari on my Macs in favor of Firefox. Nearly everything worked as I wanted, but one very important function was still misbehaving (at least as far as I was concerned). Every, and I mean every, link I clicked on in an external program would open a new window. This was slightly annoying at work with Windows, but it was a genuine PITA on my Macs because Firefox would attempt to offset the new window, inevitably resulting in part of the window being off screen.
Just for fun, I decided that I would check Bloglines related feeds feature on my weblog. The results were rather surprising. Every single “related” feed was “en espanol.”
For the life of me, I can not figure this out. What exactly about my site makes it similar to these sites? I certainly don’t use any spanish.
After days of reporting about this story, I’m still rather disappointed by the coverage. Most writers have been pouring out pages of worthless hyperbole. Of most note and worthy of the most criticism are Cnet with Mac users face rare threat and ZDnet with Destructive OS X malware spies on Apple users. Leave sensationalism to the tabloids, boys.
Let’s get down to what Opener, or as Sophos calls it, SH/Renepo-A, is. First notice that Sophos reversed its name. Clever. Anyway, as linked to from the MacInTouch article, the script itself can be viewed at the Macintosh Underground Forum. The current latest version known is 2.3.8. Let’s lay out exactly what it does:
Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas today. I’ve been waiting for this game since I pre-ordered at eCost on July 25th earlier this year. They were offering the game for $38.95 at the time (with a $3.95 handling charge) which has since gone up to $41.49 (shopping cart special).
Yes, I’ve been waiting a long time. If you count the time since I completed GTA: Vice City, it’s been even longer. Now I must wait for eCost to deliver it (which will feel like an eternity especially because they’re still estimating 10/28).
