Are Macs as vulnerable as PCs?
Posted by miri On 13 August, 2007
This fellow seems to think so.
“Macs,” he said, “are as easy to hack as they are to use.”
Can I make it over to the door from here?

Sunday = pizza
Posted by miri On 12 August, 2007
As I remember it, when I was growing up, we had pizza almost every Sunday. I’m sure we didn’t have it every Sunday and I know this didn’t start until sometime after grade school, but in my mind, Sunday equals pizza. There were the perennial toppings and crust disagreements. Mom and Dad wanted the pizza loaded; I just wanted cheese. Mom and I wanted thick crust; Dad liked thin and crispy.
More often than not, Sunday is still pizza day for me. No more discussions or decisions about toppings and crust since I live alone – takes all the fun out of it. I could go over to Mom’s house and we could disagree about ingredients, but I’ll never get to disagree with Dad about crust again.
Yesterday was mom’s birthday (happy birthday, Mom!) and the 6th anniversary of Dad’s death. So, even though this is the wrong kind of crust, this slice is for him – wherever he is.
Now you own it, now you don’t

People who “bought” videos from Google are getting screwed. Why? Google has decided to take them back and reimburse the “owners” with credit at partner stores which expires in 60 days. Way to drive money to Google’s partners. [Article on Boing Boing] Their videos will stop working on August 15th. Guess “buy” and “own” don’t mean the same things they used to.
To fully account for the video purchases you made before July 18, 2007, we are providing you with a Google Checkout bonus for $5.00. Your bonus expires in 60 days, and you can use it at the stores listed here: http://www.google.com/checkout/signupwelcome.html. The minimum purchase amount must be equal to or greater than your bonus amount, before shipping and tax.
After August 15, 2007, you will no longer be able to view your purchased or rented videos.

Did you know that God will stop liking America if we are tolerant of Hindus and Muslims? Yeah, neither did I.

They said we were having visitors in the building tomorrow and should clean
our desks. This is clean, right?
Carry-on Monkey

I guess monkeys are okay to carry on to a plane – just don’t bring any water for him to drink.

Did I mention that Jess and I are slightly obsessed with the Buc-Ees signs on I-10?
