Why Internet Security Will Remain an Afterthought →
Probably, few people will actually care about this article, even though they should, from over at InternetEvolution:
Given a choice between something that does what they need, and something that does kind of what they need but has bells and whistles, people will always choose the latter.

The bleak truth is that very few people are hardcore geeks. For...

2008 Presidential Debate: What I thought
So the debate just ended, so lets jump right in:
Overall, if you asked me who won I would have to say it was a tie. Both candidates were a bit meh, but both had their moments. There wasn’t really any big blows dealt, much to my disappointment. One thing Obama said several times was along the lines of “John is right…” and he generally agreed with McCain on a lot of...

There has been grumblings about why McCain wanted to cancel the debate. While he has stated that his intentions were to save the country from the economic crisis, there have been questions as to whether or not this was just some kind...

Generation Pwned

LHC Down Until Spring 2009 →
The planet Earth has an extra half-year to live.
A spokesman for Cern told BBC News it was unclear at this stage when the collider could re-start operations after the lab’s regular winter shut-down - which is partly done to save money on electricity during this period of peak demand.
A number of factors could affect when the lab re-opened, including prolonged cold weather.

Question: What do you get when you cross Manga...
Answer: Mecha Manga Bible Heroes
I am not kidding. What I have here is the newest comic book coming out from JMG Comics (yea I’ve never heard of them either).
So what exactly is it? Basically they take Old Testament stories, and “upgrade” them with a manga art style, most notably the mech parts of manga, and boom you have Mecha Manga Bible Heroes. Supposedly much of the...

So that was it. The final game at Yankee Stadium. Ever.
I spent the last 8 hours in front of the TV, watching the various tributes to Yankee Stadium by ESPN and Yes, and my feelings are everywhere right now. Its not just the celebration of a building, its a celebration of Yankee history and tradition. It was great to see all the great players around for the pregame celebration...
