Wired's Vaporware List 2007
Thursday, December 20th, 2007My school days…
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007I don’t know about all you highly educated readers out there, but where I went to school, the only books they gave me in english were second rate modern authors, who I’m not going to name. I’m also not going to name my school, or anything else that might lead you in that direction…
Recently, however, the shortcomings of my education have been highlighted by certain (more female) friends of mine, who have lead me to read some more classic authors.
If these texts had been available in my more formative years, I suspect that I may have enjoyed english, as a subject much, much more. It also may have given positive adjustments to many of my language skills.
Who’s to say what could have been? I could be writing second rate trashy modern navels of my own!
You know what! I think I’ll go do just that! Crappy language skills and all!
In fact, I’ll base it on my own journal!
It’ll be the ULTIMATE ACT OF MASTURBATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll let you all know what its called if it gets published 
Fedora 8 on Virtual PC 2007
Monday, December 17th, 2007One thing about Fedora 8 I have noticed is that if you try to install it in Virtual PC 2007 the video display will be messed up if you use the GUI install. Problem solved.
At the boot screen hit “tab” for additional options. You will want to add “vesa” to the end of the boot parameters to fix the screwed up video problem. Booting at this point will introduce you to the other problem plaguing recent distros in Virtual PC… a non-functional mouse. Fortunately, to fix this as well add “i8042.noloop“.

Dad catches kid taking drugs, sells Christmas gift on eBay
Saturday, December 15th, 2007Kids beware. Not only does Father Christmas have a list of naughty and nice (which we’re assured he checks two times), but parents are getting in on the act, too. A Canadian father recently caught his 15yr old son smoking pot, and to punish him, took the copy of Guitar Hero III he’d been meaning for a Christmas present – and sold it on eBay.

The Return of Internode Premium Usenet Access
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Didn’t see this one coming, but it’s a good thing for anyone who is and Internode customer. It’s back to the good old days of Premium Usenet access from probably the number one ISP in Australia. To bad I’m not with them at present, although my place of work is. Then again I might consider this to be something that will make me change back to them as this is a very nice value added service for an ISP to offer.

Spammers Refining Google Abuse
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007Ok, so now they have tried a new trick.
This one is from a Casino Spam (casino-games-pro.com), they are now trying to limit the website that they search on because it was very simple to steal the links before.
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Agames-pro+intext%3Awon1+million+megabet+from+casino+online&btnI=LuckyFirst of all you will see the usual Google search parameters, but notice that they have used the inurl and intext. They are now limiting the URL with inurl, and redirect via the “I’m Feeling Lucky” feature. This means that even if you have the words won1 million megabet from casino online on your page like McAfee AvertLabs does in their blog and are listed first in Google based on that seach, the spam site sill gets the “I’m Feeling Lucky” link because of the inurl feature.

MPAA Receives DMCA Takedown Notice For Copyright Infringement
Monday, December 10th, 2007It looks like Copyright is something only big cooperations are allowed to have and violate freely. Oh look, they don’t practice what they preach. Two face bastards. How wonderfully ironic.
