Sheriff John McCain Doesn’t Understand “The Internets”; H
2008-06-25 20:43:00 “The Facebooks” And “The Internets” Are Overrated According To Señor McCain’s Top Online Guru After Panama John Admits To Being “Computer Illiterate” H/T to [ahem... the "traitorous"] The New York Times’ “The Caucus” – The issue here is, a few days or so ago, the nation’s ONLY U.S. Senator who was born in the country of Panama, then later migrated to The Great State of Arizona, admitted he was “computer illiterate”. As long-time readers know, I’m one of those former “dot-commer” paper millionaires and “bidness owners” — one of those so-called “pioneers” who started with something like the 4,000th web site ever archived in Google. From there, things went VERY well, then plummetted just as exponentially thanks to a much larger, much better financed, publically-held, Fortune 500 corporation copying my “bidness model” and throwing millions of...
Tales From the Internets, volume 3
2008-04-18 04:09:00 Well, classes are almost over for the summer and Caleb asked me to do another one of these crazy things. I don't really have a whole lot of interesting stuff to post, mostly because I forgot I was supposed to be collecting links and the like... so, if you could just pretend I have a lot more to post, I'd really appreciate it. More to come from BSD in the coming weeks.Anyway, on with the links. Download Firefox. Just do it... version 3 is coming out soon and you won't regret it, especially if you're still using Internet Explorer... and if you are, what's wrong with you?I've never linked to a Livejournal before, but holy hell is this cool. BSD has a new project for the summer.FreeRice is a website where you play a vocabulary game for charity. For every word you get right, twenty grains of rice are donated to the UN. It may not sound like a lot, but in three days, I've donated over 4,000 grains, not because I'm philanthropic, but because 1. I'm a nerd, 2. it's addicting...

We?re sorry - we blowed up the Internets
2008-04-02 21:04:00 Some of you may have noticed that S&R has been down for the last hour or so, and we apologize. The Hillary Clinton/Rocky Balboa post we put up earlier caught fire on Digg and wound up on the top page there, which meant we were seeing more hits in an hour than we do most days. Short version: this level of traffic overran our shared hosting set-up and the hosting company shut us off. We’re investigating solutions that will hope assure this doesn’t happen again, although the money involved may mean we have to consider taking advertising to offset the cost. When the ruckus dies down we’ll try to re-post the Hillary/Rocky item, but for the moment we have pulled it in order to be able to continue operation. Thanks for bearing with us.
McNamee Going to The Internets To Make a Buck off Clemens...
2008-04-02 00:22:00 Guess Brian McNamee is profiting off his association with Clemens and others in Major League Baseball anyway after having his life thrown through the ringer...Brian McNamee is selling between 50 and 60 pieces of signed Roger Clemens memorabilia through a Boston-area dealer.McNamee, who faces a defamation lawsuit from Clemens after testifying to Mitchell report investigators and Congress that he injected the seven-time Cy Young Award-winner with steroids and human growth hormone, has turned the items over to sports memorabilia dealer Phil Castinetti of Sportsworld in Saugus, Mass.The story was first reported by the Boston Herald.Items signed by Jose Canseco, Andy Pettitte and Jason Grimsley are also part of the sale.Castinetti believes the items, including signed hats, jerseys, photographs and baseballs, could fetch as much as $75,000. He has already starting listing them on the Internet auction site eBay."He was going to throw this stuff away," Castinetti told the New York Daily New...

2008-03-07 06:59:00 The internets, it is full of shibboleths. Deoridhe, is $ from Usenet? *would throw in some Church Of Mod lingo for Daisy to not understand, except that I can't remember any*I'd dispute that the different forms of government do not constrain anyone - one thing that's come up time and again in the fandom community is that fandom has a habit of (by finding nice architectures on which to squat) allowing itself to be governed by relative outsiders - see LJ, see ff.n; both sites were created by men, and then came to govern a predominantly female community (not that gender is the whole of the difference by any means). Privilege, in the form of access to skills and access to capital, will always have some effect on who makes the rules wrt social networking. I saw this at play on the first website I ever spent much time on - a videogaming BB which spawned a writing community that became insular and isolated from the rest of the board; it developed a different way of communicating to t...

The Internets vs. Scientology (Part 4 of 4)
2008-01-28 10:04:00 I am not Anonymous. Far from it. I am Anthony Marenna, a man with a name, a man without a mask, and a fascinated e-journalist. With that said, I was expecting this final installment to be, well, final. It is clear to me that though I am ending my four part Scientology Saga, the story will go on, and will only continue to become more and more interesting, more and more potent. While I spent time with my family (and thus failed to complete this entry last night), the following happened.January 27, 2008: Anonymous released a third press release on Youtube using the username Church0fScientology. Again, the classic format of montage with computer generated narration was used to create this two minute message to the world.The transcript:"It has come to the attention of Anonymous that there are a number of you out there who do not clearly understand what we are or why we have undertaken our present course of action. Contrary to the assumptions of the media, Anonymous is not "a group of sup...

The Internets vs. Scientology (Part 3 of 4)
2008-01-27 07:54:00 January 23, 2008: Mediafire.com reported via Digg that the Anonymous hackers have released secret Church of Scientology documents retrieved from their secure servers. I downloaded these documents. Unfortunately they are in a file format called .rar, which is used for archiving. The vast majority of computers do not come with software that can handle this format, and the necessary software is not available for free.There is a lot to read, and I am in the process of reviewing the documents. Skimming them I came across writings from Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, instructions for executives and managers within the Church organization, complete organizational charts, and a lot more. I have a suspicion (an alleged suspicion mind you) that the L. Ron Hubbard documents may be the very ones that potential members of the Church pay an arm and a leg for. Given the Church of Scientology's history of filing copyright and trademark violation lawsuits, I don't feel comfortable qu...

The Internets vs. Scientology (Part 2 of 4)
2008-01-26 09:58:00 Before we continue with the Scientology Saga, let's step back a few days from the January 21st release of Anonymous's video to-January 18, 2008: Anonymous, then anonymous with a lowercase "A," launches a major attack against the Church of Scientology via the internet. As reported by Wikinews, the Anonymous hackers had some success.Several websites relating to the Church of Scientology have been slowed down, brought to a complete halt or seemingly removed from the Internet completely in an attack which seems to be continuous. The scientology.org site was back online briefly on Monday, and is currently loading slowly.I tried to stop by the main Scientology website several times in the course of writing this article, and each time it was completely unavailable. Try it for yourself. In addition to the internet attacks, Churches of Scientology have been inundates constantly with non-stop automated prank calls and a constant loop of blackfaxing, which prints completely black pages relen...

The Internets vs. Scientology (Part 1 of 4)
2008-01-25 20:48:00 For the past several days, I have been been amused to Digg several articles about the Scientology Saga that nobody knows about. I'll catch you up point by point in a four part series that will be posted throughout the weekend.January 21, 2008: A really creepy video surfaced on Youtube from a user called Church0fScientology. It is an approximately two minute still of a building being eclipsed by storm clouds. The video is narrated by a computer voice with even, eerie music in the background. Take a look at the video:I have transcribed the message as follows:"Hello, leaders of Scientology. We are Anonymous. Over the years we have been watching you, your campaigns of misinformation, your suppression of dissent, your litigious nature. All of these things have caught our eye, with the release of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation. The extent of your malign influence over those who have come to trust you as leaders has been made clear to us.Anonymous has therefore d...

Need to check your tire pressure? Head to the Internets
2007-09-23 02:34:00 Man, for the days of a pressure gauge and a knowledge of your tires correct PSI. Today, if you're thinking about checking out what pressure your ride needs (and you're in the UK), there's a website that can help keep your mileage from suffering due to underinflated tires. Yes, a website.Here's how it's supposed to work: TyreSafe has teamed up with global information solutions provider, Experian, allowing motorists to have access to an online service which supplies the tyre pressures for their vehicle. Motorists just have to log on to www.tyresafe.org, key in their vehicle registration number, and the tyre pressures for both front and rear tyres will be displayed. The free pressure check facility is being provided to motorists in the run up to, and including, tyre safety month which runs throughout the month of October.I don't know how tires are made in the UK, but don't they have the correct inflation information printed on the side, the way we do here in the US? Do we really...

iPhone firmware hits the internets—let the hacking begin!
2007-07-03 09:59:00 No use on non AT&T networks, A2DP, MMS, chat app, 3rd party programs, widgets, extended codec support, etc.? No problem—maybe. It looks like the iPhone’s system restore image has already shown up online; it might be a while before anyone can deconstruct this thing into meaningful, moddable bits (and perhaps even longer before modded iPhone ROMs can be flashed to users’ devices—everything looks pretty well encrypted at this point), but hacking device software always starts at the same place: a firmware image.

Tales from the Internets, volume 2
2007-05-31 04:43:00 Well, it's that time again... a time to post crazy links, that is. Once again, I got a lot of these from various sources, and I'll try to give credit where credit is due, but I forget a lot of the time where this stuff came from.One side comment... I understand that it's some sort of marketing ploy to repeat the name of the company/product ad nauseam during a commercial, but it's annoying as fuck. Do I need to hear the word [company name removed to prevent advertising] ten times in three sentences? No, no I don't. I think I need to up my dose or television or something. I'm actually starting to get un-brainwashed by commercialism.Anyway, on to the links. From the people at Progressive Boink, a hilarious database of Hanna-Barbara cartoon characters. Definitely worth it if you ever watched any of them as a kid (or an adult, I guess). Speaking of which, why the hell did I watch all my parents' cartoons as a kid? Was I the only one?While still on the subject of cartoons,...

I'm still trying to figure out whether or not putting duck bills on random animals is stranger than putting them on humans, thou...
