0MG! V1Ru535!

Posted by craig Published in Computers

Steve pointed me to McAfee’s site where he noticed a pretty misleading advertisment. This advertisment for the Secure IE service claims to do a security scan of your browser. According to this security scan, I’m pretty much a sitting duck for Active X attacks. That’s disturbing, because Firefox doesn’t have Active X and Linux doesn’t [...]

Gnome and XGL: Break the interface when it’s cool to do so

Posted by craig Published in Computers

(Deep geek talk ahead. Hold on!)
I’m liking the new XGL additions Novell has added to Gnome (eyecandy is good), but what pisses me off about it is the dragging over workspaces demonstrations. Metacity doesn’t ship with the ability to drag windows over workspaces because it’s not discoverable for users or some other user interface horse-shit [...]

Paris Hilton v. UB40 (or why Paris Hilton is a no-talent, slutty thief)

Posted by craig Published in Music

Apparently Paris Hilton (is a slut) recorded a song that borrows… nay, rips off a UB40 song called Kingston Town. (Need proof?) So, rather than support a skank that doesn’t need your money, please pick up the best-of album from UB40 instead. You’ll not only get the same song, but you’ll also be supporting some [...]
