Safari v73, or "beta 2", is working quite well. The cmd-W bug that plagued me in v62 (it usually closes tabs, but sometimes closed the whole window) is fixed. Tabs look a bit better. The rendering engine has all the new fixes Hyatt has been talking about. Tabs can extend off the edge when you get too many. It could just be my imagination, but I think it's faster, too.
According to an article at Wininformant.com, Microsoft has asked a company called InterVideo to port WMA support to Linux. "We believe most of the major consumer electronics companies are looking at the Linux platform as a stable, low-cost solution for multimedia functionality," said Steve Ro, InterVideo's CEO. They aren't porting Windows Media Player, however, j
RMS would give companies tight control over the permissions that apply to their business documents, said Mike Nash, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Security Business Unit.

Using RMS, a business could restrict access by user, limit or time-out user access, or prevent the copying and pasting of specific bits of information. Businesses also could prevent important e-mails from being forwarded to nonapproved recipients, such as reporters or competitors.
Try to keep in mind, when you hear warmongers endorse war as a viable option for solving a problem, that this is what they're talking about.
4/9 Update: I meant to enable comments on this when I posted it. They're enabled now. Since this link was really posted for certain warmongers on my friends list here at slashdot, i really did want to hear what you all had to say about it.
Wow. No slashdot april fools stories on March 31st this year, imagine that. The guys at grsecurity are on the ball though, announcing that they've been shutdown by AOLTW for patent reasons, and advising all mirrors to remove grsec from distribution. A friend of mine just called me up and was really upset about this; I didn't realize the date until I got off the phone. I'm not sure if he was passing the joke on to me, or if he was fooled himself...
I know most of you have already seen "get your war on", but the new issue is especially worth reading. Go read it. Email it to your co-workers, and all that.
Ok that is all.
(wtf am I posting on slashdot at almost 4am for?! *must* *sleep* *now*)
I finally got around to installing blosxom!
My weblog is now online here.
The first post you'll see is a gallery of >200 photos I shot on Saturday the 22nd at the Peace Rally in San Francisco.
I was just getting my last dose of infotainment when I found myself clicking from google news over to my local ABC affiliate. Aside from the healthy war-is-good message they recommend you feed your children, I also noticed that they are running what appear to be banner ads for nothing other than the war itself.
According to Michael Barrish's weblog, Google may have been hacked. Either that, or they momentarily replaced their logo with a very clear anti-war statement. If this is a hack, it's a very clever one (the image is exactly in the style of google's frequent logo modifications), and if it's not, it's a brief and mysterious political statement from the usually impartial google. Either way, I think this is "stuff that matters". Comments?
"Having attacks reported to us where there's a vulnerability for which there isn't a patch is very unusual," Lipner [Microsoft's director of security assurance] said.
While Dr. Poindexter's IAO has Total Information Awareness pretty well covered, you may find yourself wondering: Who's going take care of Information Exploitation?! Why, the Information Exploitation Office , of course! While the IAO takes care of important tasks like Wargaming the Asymmetric Environment, t
