Is Entrapment On The Rise?

December 31st, 2007

It sure looks like it. Take for example this story of a guy who encounters a topless woman in a park.
She’s sunbathing topless under a tree.. and while we’re at it, since when is that ok in a public park? Having lived in Columbus Ohio once upon a time, I’ve been to Lou [...]

I just saw a slashdot item that makes me wonder about the Japanese government… They’re apparently getting some laws passed that are laying the groundwork for what has the potential to become an Orwellian regulation of online communications.
Oh, it’s initial purpose is going to be to stop piracy and illegal downloads & such, but [...]

It would be a good idea to stop right now, before building another web page with flash movies on it to stop and take a look at this article in The Register about Flash vulerabilities.
It talks about how an awful lot of flash movies are vulnerable to cross site scripting type attacks. The one [...]

Of course it’s all about Hotel Reservations and hotelreservations.com doesn’t mince around when it comes to getting right down to business from page one. The overall look is compact and unlike a lot of sites today it still fits in an 800×600 screen.
For all of it’s compactness, it’s also pretty busy with information from [...]

I just saw this ….
CIA TO RELEASE PAPERS ON DESTROYED TAPES
Under a subpoena threat, the CIA is expected to quickly begin turning over to
Congress documents related to the destruction of videotapes showing the harsh
interrogation of two terror suspects.

… and it got me wondering. The CIA is well known to be an outfit that [...]

Network Solutions Web Hosting

December 17th, 2007

Since I am going to be talking about a web hosting service provider It occurred to me that it would be a decent idea to start by providing a definition.
Web Hosting is the disk space on a web server that holds all of the files needed (html, images, video, sounds, Etc) for a website or [...]

More Government Hot Air

December 17th, 2007

I just saw a headline that’s really got me ready to chew holes in somebody’s head. Specifically, it’s a headline about auto mileage standards being raised to 35 mpg.
Why is this something to fume about? Because 35mpg has been around since the early 1980’s that’s why. If they want to put in [...]

Cuppy’s Getting ATM’s

December 17th, 2007

Have you heard of Cuppy’s Coffee? I haven’t but then I live in a rural area. Apparently they’re a nationwide chain where it is going to be more convenient to go there because a company called Medina Management Strategies is currently negotiating a deal for several franchises including Cuppy’s, to install flush mounted [...]

It seems that the RIAA isn’t so wonderful about things now that the shoe is on the other foot and an Oregon Attorney General has requested information about their tactics. The part that I find really telling is the part where they’re so upset about this that they don’t even want the judge to [...]

Firefox 3?

December 16th, 2007

This is interesting. I’m just nicely getting used to Firefox 2 and all of a sudden I see reference to Firefox 3 in a blog post about it having a multi line location bar.
The screen shot looks interesting but what I didn’t find was a link to any site to get Firefox 3… I [...]
