Here’s the info on that MSN Messenger Worm.

Amazon opens up bridal registry. Why didn’t they have this last year when I got married?

Slashdot editor proposes on front page -but was it only in response to the Amazon Bridal Registry? Was it just a case of needing to be an early adapter in it? *L*

Keygen routine producing valid WinXP product keys? -Not enough information on whether WPA is truly toast or not, but surely we all see the day when that’s coming, don’t we? We all know that WPA is much more about treating consumers as criminals than trying to stop hardcore piracy.

Radio 8.05 is out. Apparently some bug fixes and a few new improvements. If you’re a radio-head, user of Radio, you’ve been informed 🙂

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go move PC’s for the privileged people who are getting new carpet put in their offices and are incapable of moving their own PC’s.

    Found another potential problem with the installation of Internet Explorer 6 SP1. Apparently it adds and automatically checks a checkbox on your Tools/Options/Security tab that tells OE to “Not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.” Nice idea, but the “potential virus” attachments I just tested it with, a…

  • What’s a little tweaking over lunch?

    Inspired by Phil’s little rant: “Most weblog comment systems convert a single return into a break tag, and two returns into a paragraph.

    So which one would aggravate you more. The fact that the summer intern showed up one day without you knowing anything about it or having anything prepared, or the fact that she finished her internship Friday and no one bothered to tell you so you could disable her accounts and pick up the laptop she…
