Recently US senators and members of Congress have been demanding punishment for anyone responsible for the recent media accounts of US involvement in Stuxnet and Flame. Can we assume that there's going to be a thorough investigation of what is in effect confirmation of those media stories? Starting with the HR departments of those giant defense (or offense) contractors and going as far as the evidence leads? Are we holding our breath?
The NYT engineers had been working nonstop for months without success trying to get their iPhone app to stop freezing. Eventually they decided it would be smart to work on something different and less strenuous for a while and then return to their important project with fresh minds.

Not to start a browser religious war, but right now in Chrome (7.0.517.44), selective blocking of cookies doesn't work. I just did the following:

Whatever the merits of the documentary, the name of the organization Aizhixing is extremely sly. It literally means Love, Knowledge, Action; it rhymes with Aizibing, which means AIDS. This reminds me of the wordplay in the Grass Mud Horse episode.
Good thing Flash is so secure!

Not that I'd discourage anyone from keeping their Apache up-to-date, but I decided to see what would happen if I prevented the Windows Apache on my machine from loading mod_isapi. The answer? Nothing, apparently. The only thing I really feared was that it might interfere with the Zend debugger, but no, it's fine.
It's been easily half a dozen years since, afflicted with an Emacs-induced sore left wrist, I switched to a Kinesis keyboard that uses thumbs, not pinkies, for chording. It has no SysRq key. I'd forgotten all about that long-lost, alluring key, and now you go and remind me!
