Man held in sword attack on woman

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

Take away their guns and they’ll use swords and if you take away the guns from law abiding citizens as well people like this are simply thrown to the wolves.

Furthering MS Hegemony

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

You’re MS and have a new anti-virus product coming out soon but you’ve not shipped an AV product since DOS 6 days so what do you do? You take the anti-spyware product you bought and are giving away in order to conquor that market and make it target competing anti-virus products. Seems simple enough to [...]

Bored with Windows, think Linux is too difficult and can’t (won’t) afford a Mac? Then checkout FlyakiteOSX and put a little Aqua in your XP. (Hat tip: Jeff)

Microsoft Anti-virus

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

As though their monopoly wasn’t big enough Microsoft is going into the anti-virus business. We’ll see if they ship it with the OS by default which should give the Justice Department pause.

John Bolton Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Either icicles are forming on the gates of hades or this is a perverted joke at John Bolton’s expense because anyone who has truely deserved to win in the last few decades has never gotten nominated. But it is still good to see that there are at least a few people who see the merits [...]
