I was a little bored with the typical Windows wallpapers and I’m tired of my Darth Vader’s lightsaber wallpaper, so I went asearchin’ this morning and found the above badass Windows Logo from Skyline a blog that is seemingly abandoned….right now (ya’ll thought mine was dead too. Fuckers.)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Ethernet… Update (4/13/2011): here is the linky to the NSS Labs website discussing the test. I didn’t include it yesterday, cause I’m a lazy bastard. SHUT UP! YOU try running the worlds greatest blog… NSS Labs: Network Firewall Remediation Brief for TCP Split [...]
I don’t care what you say, Charlie Sheen is freaking awesome. I love his movies, I love his shows, I love how fucking crazy he is. He’s fucking hot chicks, he’s living the life of a rock star. He’s the Warlock from hell and he’s WINNING! I follow his Tweets and Facebook and I’m pretty [...]
There has been quite some buzz about the Chrome touch UI lately. Following our initial report from March 20, Cnet recently uncovered more evidence that Chrome (OS) will be getting a touch tablet version and now we are seeing a screenshot (?) of the onscreen keyboard. Oh, and Google has quietly reduced the page load [...]
Yes, I have returned to the worlds greatest blog, having taken several weeks off to pursue my dream of being a world class digeridoo player. Turns out, it was cowbell that most bands need more of, so I’m back to blog whenever the hell I feel like it. I don’t remember exactly who Amanda Harrington [...]
It was a terribly difficult decision, but The Minority Report has decided to remove Digg, De.licio.us, Propeller and other never heard of social sharing sites from our sharing bar at the bottom of each post. This site is built using WordPress, and we use a plugin called “Sociable” to do our dirty, social sharing work [...]
I saw this posted on reddit this morning and thought that this was the best freaking idea evar! Rick has gracefully endured the Rick-rolling craze and it’s time to pay him back. Participate in Operation: Never Give Him Up. Rick Astley’s 2010 single “Lights Out” number one on the charts and give it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMau-DXAeMU“>a hellaton [...]
Researchers report that a spinal fluid test can be 100 percent accurate in identifying patients with significant memory loss who are on their way to developing Alzheimer’s disease. Although there has been increasing evidence of the value of this and other tests in finding signs of Alzheimer’s, the study, which will appear Tuesday in the [...]
After reading this, it seems like a shitty time for President Obama to be pissy off the Israelis. Imagine for a moment what the battlefield will look like in the future. Unmanned planes flying through the air; robots fighting on the ground; smart missiles hunting down targets. Now imagine that none of this can be [...]
A few days ago, I blogged about the effort of Austin Sendek of UC Davis to get the SI people to recognize “Hella” as the nomenclature for 10^24 power. It would seem that some of the nerds over at Google agree! If you want to find out what 1 hellameter is click here. Please support [...]
Sweet. Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal. [...]
I think this is pretty fucking cool! In fact, I think it’s HELLAcool!! I have no idea what the fuck that this “The Official Petition to Establish “Hella-” as the SI Prefix for 10^27” will do or what impact they can possibly have but click the fucking link and show your support. As science becomes [...]
The geniuses, Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell of Sysinternals (formerly Winternals before bought by Microsoft in 2006) have release a new utility for their suite of fucking awesome utilties. If you are a sysadmin, then you know about them already. If not, suck it. Process Explorer and BGinfo are standard on all of my machine [...]
TL;DR: Kid gets a weeks worth of detention for having a jolly rancher from another student. School loses all common sense. Should be horse whipped. ORCHARD, Texas – A third-grader at Brazos Elementary was given a week’s detention for possessing a Jolly Rancher. School officials in Brazos County are defending the seemingly harsh sentence. The [...]
A demo of a quantum calculation carried out by Japanese researchers has yielded some pretty mind-blowing results: a single molecule can perform a complex calculation thousands of times faster than a conventional computer. A proof-of-principle test run of a discrete Fourier transform — a common calculation using spectral analysis and data compression, among other things [...]
This is a blog...of a person...that sucks at writing. Think of it as Techmeme written by a retard...except without all the hugging.
