The Clever Shark

MIT Realm Kerberos accounts require a 18770-character password, apparently. If you’re afraid you’ll forget it, just pick a novel and make the whole thing — not just the title — your login. Then retype the entire thing in the password field when you want to log in!

Tonight’s special comment by Keith Olbermann. Other newsmen may be thinking the very same thing, but none of them will have the courage to say it.

Warner Brothers promises, then reneges on, prosthetics for amputees who agree to be extras in film. What scum sucking pigs. Typical fucking Hollywood studios. If a movie ever warranted a complete and utter boycott, this is it.

YouTube narc’ed to Paramount lawyers. The internet is not your friend (or a truck).

There is such a thing as a proper Cleveland Steamer. Jokers and Urban Dictionary aficionados please take note.

YouTube nixes 30,000 Japanese videos in the start of what is sure to be referred to as their post-buyout “blows chunks” period.

Microsoft’s new war against problem-solving. Observe article 4 of the Microsoft End-User License Agreement for Windows Vista… it effectively prohibits you from trying to find out how to live with the software’s assuredly many bugs, which may actually be intentionally placed there by Microsoft as “digital rights management”. It’s frankly sad and pathetic. Why would anyone in their right mind trust software that comes with a license containing such a clause? Clearly Vista is for suckers. Microsoft itself is saying as much with this clause.

Hilario-ity ensues as the Chelsea third-string goalkeeper hands Barcelona a clean sheet. They are now solidly in command of Group A and eager to meet Barcelona again on the 31st. Go Blues!!

So What by Miles Davis & John Coltrane. Smokin’ hot jazz for a cold-ish day.

A real-world DRM. Just say no to crippleware like Windows Media Player.
