Wired is running a very interesting story on a company dubbed 4Frontiers. Apparently these guys really enjoy Flash because I can’t see shit on their website (I don’t have Flash plugin installed on my laptop yet). But in addition to … Continue reading →

Non compliant, IE only websites piss me off. If you design a website for IE only, you are an idiot, and you apparently do not care for my traffic. If I can’t browse your website in my browser of choice, … Continue reading →

I have never seen these before! Anyone knows how to get the full size versions? Where were these published? All I can say is… Wow… Just Wow. She looks great! All these pictures are (c) Mark Robert Halper. I do … Continue reading →

I never thought I will see slashdotters madly lashing out at Stallman. I could not believe the kind of idiotic comments that were posted in reaction to the news about GPL update. WTF? I thought slashdot crowd would be supporting … Continue reading →

PC Pro is running a priceless article on how Microsoft people are still scratching their heads and picking up their jaws from the floor trying to recover from the Massachusetts decision. It is too funny. Check out this quote: Jones … Continue reading →

We knew that dinosaurs were related to birds for a while, but now the scientists seem to have a proof that some of them were actually covered with feathers. The feather revelation follows a series of discoveries in fossil beds … Continue reading →

I think hell just froze over, because Bill Gates is actually planning to sell his holywood approved, DRM infested, old monitor incompatible clippleware called “Windows Chicken” (remember kids, višta means chicken in Lithuanian) for less than 100 bucks. Yup, Vista … Continue reading →

This is one of my pet peeves. If you have never programmed, or read code you will probably not understand this. Anyways, here it goes. Why on god’s green earth would anyone ever want to write code like this: some_method() … Continue reading →

Not so long ago I posted about lack of server-to-server support in Google Talk. At the time, they have only planned to “federate” with their partner companies. This of course really did not sit well with Jabber users. And it … Continue reading →

I found it really amusing that Ballmer threw a fit when one of their engineers told him that he is going to work for google. That was back in 2004. I guess they have learned their lesson, and now they … Continue reading →

I just found this very interesting surviver story on digg. It is slightly different from the rest of the hurricane stories because this one does not deal with New Orleans. It was written by one of the Alabama survivors who … Continue reading →

Have you ever needed bunch of strong passwords to be generated on the fly? I sometimes need to generate bunch of one use, give it to a user who will then change it and throw it away passwords. Simplest method … Continue reading →

I finally got around to slightly altering the greasemonkey script I have been using to append technorati tags at the end of my posts. They seem to have mind of their own – and font size alternates – sometimes even … Continue reading →

My greasemonkey suddenly stopped working today. I was fidling with profiles, setting up a profile with a proxy for tor browsing and such. Then I went back to blogging, and monkey did not work at all. Scripts would not install, … Continue reading →

I think the Massachusetts decision to require state documents to be saved in open standard, non-proprietary formats is a huge victory in terms of Open Source and open standards adoption. I really hope that other states will follow suit. Actually … Continue reading →

Since I’m at school right now, and I have access to their unencrypted wireless network, I decided to play around with my Linksys card again. As you may or may not remember, I after much fiddling and tinkering I conceded … Continue reading →

It seems that I’m not the only person who was thinking about singularity when discussing Cylon origins. The author of Unofficial BSG Blog quoted me and then went on to expand this concept: I am not so sure it models … Continue reading →
