Wow. Technology news makes CNN. A vulnerability in Sendmail could allow users to get root access to a system. The flaw was discovered yesterday by ISS, and the group was quick to point out that there wasn’t any know exploit for the bug. I watched this play out on the Bugtraq list, and it was […]

I think this is a nifty idea. Theatre groups across the world are performing Aristophanes Lysistrata as an anti-war protest (Lysistrata is probably the oldest piece of anti-war literature). Interestingly (and expectedly) there is a backlash against it, with many people claiming that artists shouldn’t have an opinion about the situation in Iraq. Gee, that’s […]

Carlos Sainz has won the first Rally of Turkey, beating Richard Burns and Francois Duval. Sainz took the lead when Harri Rovanpera had technical difficulties on day two, and never looked back. Citroen had a good showing, with Colin McCrae taking fourth, and no doubt Seb Loeb would have finished in the points as well […]

The Rally of Turkey started today, and, as expected, it’s been a rough event with several notable retirements. But first, the good news. Harri Rovenpera is leading the rally by a whisker over Francois Duval and Tommi Makinen. Other pleasant surprises include Giles Panizzi holding fourth place in his privateer Peugeot, and Armin Schwarz in […]

I heard this interesting segment on NPR this afternoon, and I couldn’t wait til the morning to mention it. They are doing a series on Muslims in Europe, and today’s segment talked about Muslims in France. Interesting stuff. In a nutshell, the French citizens generally look like xenophobic bigots, who refuse to acknowledge the existence […]

If you don’t follow the sports world closely, you probably haven’t heard that Colonial tournament. This has been met with all sorts of opinions (as expected). Many of the pros on the PGA tour don’t really like the idea, though this is to hide the fact that they don’t want to be beaten by a […]

Why does every bike shop in our fine city have an absolutely hideous web site? How bad can they be, you say? Well, most of them don’t have any good information on them, and the designs are so ugly that you expect blinking text. Sheesh.

I found these articles yesterday in Reason about the government’s ongoing war with fat. Interesting stuff, but many of them are nothing more than libertarian knee-jerk reactions that do nothing more than take a stance against the government just because it’s the government. For example: The belief that things like fat and sugar and salt […]
