What was on Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby’s mind about 10 years ago? According to this book he wrote, it was a putrid mishmash of sex slavery, rape, pedophilia, bestiality, scatology and incest. I honestly had no idea that this is what they meant by “family values”! Seriously though, you have to feel bad for the guy. He’s gone from fantasizing about a girl kept in a cage getting raped by a bear to himself potentially being put in a “cage” and being raped by a big, burly bear in the not-too-distant future… sometimes I think my life hasn’t turned out the way I planned, but at least I’ll never be known as the author of The Apprentice!
The Sony CD rootkit saga continues.
The Sony CD rootkit saga continues. To recap — Sony has so far hacked your computer and made it insecure as soon as you inserted one of their “copy-protected” CDs in your computer. So you want to remove that software and repair the security breach, right? Sony says, “not so fast” — and comes up with an uninstaller which is just as intrusive and invasive as the problem it purports to solve. Those guys just don’t get it, do they?

A liar’s history of the war in Iraq.
A liar’s history of the war in Iraq. The war as it was told at the time by George W. Bush. For an amusing game, have a shot of tequila every time you read a lie… but then you run the risk of waking up tomorrow in a pool of your own vomit with the article only a third read.
The FBI may well already know that you’re reading this.
The FBI may well already know that you’re reading this. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re *not* out to get you. Official oversight is soooooo twentieth-century…
The Decision
Mark felt the little wind, slightly oil-tinged, which signalled the impending arrival of the train in the station.
This could be important. It was a big decision to take: to be or not to be. Literally. Continue reading The Decision
Ever get the feeling that you just dont see as many Hummers as you used to on the road?
Ever get the feeling that you just dont see as many Hummers as you used to on the road? You might just be right (in SoCal at least). Of course that particular situation might be a little more extreme than others, but if it comes out that this is occurring in more places in America it could spell financial disaster for General Motors — how many units *are* being transferred to dealers only to sit unsold in storage lots?
David Blunkett resigns from Tony Blair’s government over an abuse of power scandal… again.
David Blunkett resigns from Tony Blair’s government over an abuse of power scandal… again. I must admit I was rather shocked to see that he had been brought back into government, especially since it was clear that he had shown such poor personal judgement in the decisions that led to the previous scandal. Still, with Blair having so little support even with his own party, one must wonder if Blunkett will be making yet another comeback with New Labour.
It’s a game of ‘got your nose’ gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Sony ‘copy-protected’ CDs essentially install a rootkit onto your Windows system.
Sony ‘copy-protected’ CDs essentially install a rootkit onto your Windows system. For those of you who don’t know what a “rootkit” it — it’s a malicious piece of software (like a virus, worm or trojan horse) that enables other people to seize control of your computer remotely. Installing such software without the computer owner’s knowledge is basically a cyber-crime, and that makes Sony Music a criminal organization. The solution to this problem? Don’t buy any music from the SOBs at Sony Music. Sony Music sucks.
