So it's the weekend. Yayyy!
News:
Apple is not so bad. They've changed their mind and are releasing patches.
But iDVD is still broken.
Bill G. talks about security.
Specifically:
…there are two other techniques [to increase security]: one is called firewalling and the other is called keeping the software up to date. None of these problems (viruses and [...]

Been a busy couple of days.
So, let's see. is apparently involved in a new student group that I'm going to be an associate member in. It's called “QRI for the straight guy” or something akin to that. Basically, it's a bunch of eclectic sex stuff without being full of drama queens. For example, there [...]

(For the uninitiated, RAID-5 basically means: several hard drives grouped together to provide the appearance of a large drive, with a little bit of space withheld for backup purposes. So, even if 1 drive dies, you can replace it and your data is safe. If 2 die, you're kind of screwed.)

And then I'm off to bed.
People need to stop making sucky, overpriced laptops. What we need is a laptop with:
- 15″ TFT LCD doing 1400×1050 or greater
- a proper keyboard (function keys along the top, not up the side)

- ATI Radeon [...]

Lots of news today:
Diebold maker of e-voting systems has come under scrutiny for things like miscounts and other “glitches” that affect the output of elections. Some of their internal memos were leaked to the press (it ends up being like 5 years of mailing list archives), and of course, then came the cease and decist [...]

Okay, so I was going to take my free evening and write Cingular a letter. See, Liz and I went to their store in Warwick, because the website says that they do equipment upgrades there and I want them to look at my phone. The man behind the counter says that they do not deal [...]

Back online, and backordered for 2 months. It looks like they sold something like 10,000 units in a week.
This guy is going to make a fortune.
Oh, and for the record:
1.) I think this is absolutely hilarious.
2.) I want the Redneckopoly when it comes out.
3.) I applaud this guy for standing up and telling people to [...]

So, Dennis is ill, therefore there is no gaming (he's the GM, makes it kind of hard). It's okay by Simon, since he has a mid-term tomorrow. Mike is here playing video games, which is fine – I don't mind the company.
I took the unexpected time to get another thing done on my projects list [...]
