Thunderbird still sucks
Sunday, May 25th, 2008The last time I used Mozilla Thunderbird it was in Windows, I was trying to stay away from Outlook. Eventually it was so infuriating that it drove me back to Outlook. That was over two years ago. I also tried to use Mail.app but the problem is that it doesn’t play nice with Outlook. My [...]

Korean War executions unearthed – Asia-Pacific – msnbc.com
Monday, May 19th, 2008Not exactly how I expected to start my Monday news reading: DAEJEON, South Korea – Grave by mass grave, South Korea is unearthing the skeletons and buried truths of a cold-blooded slaughter from early in the Korean War, when this nation’s U.S.-backed regime killed untold thousands of leftists and hapless peasants in a summer of [...]
Happy Birthday HijiNKS Ensue!

In Memoriam: Dell Computer
Sunday, May 11th, 2008Fake Steve Jobs wrote a fantastic essay on why Dell is on its way down: To think Michael Dell can do at Dell what I did at Apple is like thinking that if you give Michael Dell a striped shirt and put him in Picasso’s old studio and let him buy supplies from Picasso’s supplier [...]
Transmission Bittorrent client, now with built-in IP blacklists
Saturday, May 10th, 2008I was delighted to learn that the new version of Transmission now supports black listing using the Bluetack level 1 list. What this means is that with the black list engaged you will not get hit by scan attempts from certain known IPs that frown on Bittorrent usage. This was already available through PeerGuardian, but [...]
Assholes of the Week: The Myanmar Ruling Junta
Saturday, May 10th, 2008YANGON, Myanmar – Myanmar’s military regime distributed international aid Saturday but plastered the boxes with the names of top generals in an apparent effort to turn the relief effort for last week’s devastating cyclone into a propaganda exercise. The United Nations sent in three more planes and several trucks loaded with aid, though the junta [...]
(dumbass) Yahoo CEO Yang is now on the hot seat
Sunday, May 4th, 2008SAN FRANCISCO – Yahoo Inc. Chief Executive Jerry Yang has gotten what he wanted: a chance to prove his company is worth more than the $47.5 billion that Microsoft Corp. offered to buy the Internet pioneer. It will be a daunting challenge, as Yang will be pointedly reminded Monday when investors are expected to show [...]
MADD v. Grand Theft Auto IV
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008GTA 4 barely launched and the politics have already started. The problem is when good intentions clash with misinformation. I support MADD 100%, they are one of those precious few special interest groups (yeah, MADD is an interest group) that are no brainers: drunk driving kills. The problem this time? Somebody at MADD did not [...]
Been there, done that (no t-shirt yet)
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008Dilbert is (c) Scott Adams. Gladly this doesn’t happen in my current job but I clearly remember that situation right around when the dot coms were in the free growth stage.
