The Mariners are winning?!?

The Northwest Regiment of The New World Order, Mind-Control Division are at 18-7 this month. Overall they’re .513 and two games out of the division lead. It almost makes the game interesting. Wait a minute… <changes Tin-Foil hat>….. It’s still a boring game.

The Anti-Christ is in the news again

The Anti-Christ is getting sued over the Windows Genuine Advantage fiasco. I can tolerate Product Activation and ensuing telephone call to India every time I rebuild my system. But calling home every day is going too far. If my operating system is legitimate when I activate it, how is it going to become pirated the next day?

Oh, and IE 7 Beta 3 is out.

Take the pledge!

Have you taken the pledge yet?

Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the online community.

This is why Best Buy, Amazon.com, Cingular Wireless, KISS, Classmates.com, and various other companies will no longer see any of my business. My email inbox is private property, and is not there just for you to advertise in it. Spamming is theft. I don’t do business with thieves.

371 uselss fact and other stuff.

Here are 371 totally useless facts.  I make no guarantee for accuracy.  But then again, Elvis does love and Belgium doesn’t exist.  Speaking of Belgium not existing, one should also be on the lookout for the Black Helicopters, and be shiny side out.

To all the Dads out there....

I hope you have a happy Father's Day. Anybody with the right hardware in their shorts can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a Dad. I think I'll give mine a call.

Microsoft is at it again.......

I saw this over on slashdot. It’s just plain stupidity on the part of The Anti-Christ, if you ask me. For those of you who aren’t running a recent copy of Windows, The Anti-Christ requires you to ‘validate’ your Windows installation with Windows Genuine Advantage before you can download, say security updates. The problem is, after you’ve validated, WGA will still call home daily. This wouldn’t be the first time they’re gotten into trouble (like here). Activation is one thing. I can live with that (after all, they’re just trying to make sure that your software is used only on your computer. If they wanted you to share it with the world, then Windows would’ve been released under the GPL, like Linux). But there is a difference. Activation is a one time deal. WGA is every single farking day. That’s going too far.

Laser Guided Kitty

So I was at my Mom’s house Saturday.  She gave a mini-flashlight (I don’t know where she got it; probably mail order) that also had a laser pointer on it.  My roommate’s cat will recover.  Eventually.  But she needs the exercise.
