When I saw Bruce's post on using Google crack MD5 Hashes for you , I had to chuckle. Here's a link to the article Bruce is referencing. Once again, it shows a pretty good case of the damage that can happen by overlooking the seemingly obvious. (Would you want to be the developer that told your...
When I first picked it up, I was really wondering whether or not it would be value added in any way in my life. Like I mentioned before, my TV has virtually no usage on it (until about two weeks ago) and sitting on my couch in front of the TV is not something I felt was missing in my life. GH III has...
Since I was a youngster, I've always been a fan of Sony stuff. I'm old enough to have spent a few years alive before CD's came out. I was still a little guy when I got my first Sony Portable CD player. Even though there were only a few CDs available at the time (The Firm - Mean Business,...
This is a big claim on my part, but if this isn't the dumbest lawsuit Microsoft has ever faced , it's got to be a contender. In the lawsuit, Crooker argues that Internet Explorer was set to delete his browsing history after five days, but the software failed to do so. "Any day beyond those parameters...
I have very little to goof on Bill Gates about, but he's being Mighty brave with challenges like this . On the one hand, I really admire his approach and smack talking. "We made it way harder for guys to do exploits," said Mr. Gates. "The number [of exploits] will be way less because we've done some...
I guess I've been on the internet so long it's hard to remember when I got my first spam email. In fact, I honestly don't have an inkling about the details of the first spam message I got. But I do know that I haven't once seriously considered responding to spam. And that's not necessarily b/c I'm so...
I got a few new gadgets recently and have been meaning to blog about them b/c all in all, I highly recommend them. The first of these is the Uniden Win 1200 Windows Live Enabled 5800 mhz phone . I'm not a big IM User although recently, Ryan Olshan , Brian Madsen and a few other friends have gotten me...

I've ranted over and over again about pieces of shameful incompetence I've come across over time. If you've been in the business more than a few months, you'll see things that make you say "I'm glad I don't do business with them." For instance, I was recently looking at some code that a friend of mine...
A while ago, I was playing around creating a bot, a Snarkier version of the Mobile Secretary Application . Well, it was late and I got sloppy. So basically, my little app sent out a text message to everyone on one of my company's Outlook distribution lists. I learned a lot that night. So you've always...
Well, I've heard about Ms Dewey for a few days now and didn't think much of it. If you weren't aware of it, Ms Dewey is a little project Microsoft did to show off Windows Live Search . If you're a guy, you'll probably find her hot and the Flash effects cool. Most women I've come...
