18/11/2008: Star Trek XI Trailer
|

Best part about this trailer is that it's not just a teaser.
Looks like Paramount are morons, and don't like free publicity.
Lest see if this one gets taken down
Star Trek XI: Trailer 2
Apple trailer site also has this and the old one as well.

A nasty little company, McColo Corp, was knocked off-line this week and an emidiate result has been a sharp drop in the amount of spam being sent world wide.
As we can all see this is a big hit and a big win.

29/10/2008: Stephen Conroy The Bully
|
|
|
First I must say Senator Stephen Conroy shame on you, you need to learn about bullying, and the consequences of it. We have seen in the last few years an active push to stop bullying in schools (http://www.bullyingnoway.com.au/), but that seams to have slipped past the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
So what am I harping on about, well there has been some debate on implementing a national internet filter in Australia. Well ok maybe that's not really true, it's more an argument about what to block, as it appears the decision has already been made and now it's up to the special interest groups to get as much stuff blocked as possible.

24/10/2008: Is the next Blaster Worm in the Winds
|
|
|
Microsoft has dropped an out of cycle patch on everyone, the patch covers a fault in RPC which is very similar to the fault in RPC/DCOM that was exploited by Blaster Worm. The consequences of not patching could potentially be the same, thousands of computer infected to do the bidding of those who would exploit it. Patch or die folks, patch or die.

23/10/2008: EA Technical Support
|
|
|
So I was surfing around the Internet when I came across this awesome example of EA (Electronic Arts) trying to kill one of it's customers via it's support system and a little thing called Fire. Lets just say that if Jim had followed EA Technical Supports second help message, fire would have occurred. This just goes to show and pretty much prove that EA Support is non-existent and by the looks of it is an automated computer system spitting out emails based roughly on what you send to it and a random list of staff names. Are there actually any staff at EA Support besides the guys keeping the Automated system working.
Jim sent this wonderful replay to EA, I love this bit:
Yes you would think that's causing F-I-R-E would be something that actually got their attention, well apparently no.

THERE WAS A FIRE. YOUR PRODUCT STARTED A FIRE. I DO NOT NEED AN AUTOMATED WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
FIRE = BAD.
YOU = UNAWARE OF FIRE.
It’s that glowy orange stuff. If you touch it, you die. Understand?
F-I-R-E.
