A bunch of tidbits to get you through the day:
- Three words: what. the. fuck.
- Do you recall that classic picture of the back of a girl? I recall
seeing that picture demonstrating the graphic prowess of generations of
computers and video cards (from the earlier Macs, through a friend's
286/VGA machine and the first true color-capable PGA video card another
friend used to own). Ilya sent me a link detailing the original story. Interesting, if you're a history buff like me.
- This (Hebrew only) news post only goes to show that stupidity knows no bounds.
- While not American, I find the very concept of a senate intelligence committee voting on expanding an already-problematic Patriot Act extremely disturbing. What really yanks my chain, though, was that the vote was held during a secret meeting,
to which members of the press were barred entry. Does anyone else
consider the very concept of legislation in secret anti-democratic in
the extreme?
- I came across an amusing definition of a particular class of bugs, dubbed heisenbugs. I think I'll start using the term.
- Finally, it appears we have an Aibo here at work! The damn thing is really disturbing. Photos and experiences to come (as soon as I get my ass off the chair long enough).
