The Minority Report

I’ve blogged about the progress that the Remote Desktop Services (RDP) gang at Microsoft is making and some of their tutorials. I’m not sure what’s going on here but this is one hell of a graphic!! Traditionally, Remote Desktop Services (previously called Terminal Services) provided the ability to host multiple, simultaneous user sessions on a [...]

I facetiously blogged a few months ago that Facebook users were idiots. Well it turns out that some ARE idiots!! Check out this spurious lawsuit against the social networking giant. The social networking site is facing a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs are complaining that their privacy is being violated when they share photo’s and [...]

Really? Seriously??? I mean I grew up thinking that Glen LarsonW was a god. If I saw his name in the credits, I knew it was good. but after Ronald D. Moore and the most awesomest show on TV EVER, I don’t know. I agree too that Bryan SingerW is hit or miss and that [...]

I KNEW it!! They’re here!! What’s 2.5 miles wide, perfectly circular, and warm enough to melt ice? I don’t know either, but there are at least two of them in Russia’s Lake Baikal. They were spotted in April from the international space station. Ice Rings | Futility Closet Additional Coverage: Ice Rings | Futility ClosetWhat’s [...]

There are more pictures after the jump. It’s weird but beautiful in its own way. White wedding dresses and old traditions are left behind. Those who still believe that a bride must be like an angel, which has just come down from heaven, be ready to change your mind. Goths in Moscow will show you [...]

It ain’t no hog and it ain’t no crotch rocket but it’s pretty sweet. Senior looks pretty damned cool sitting on it too. Like a rich, happy bulldog. Known for building machines as brutish as they are loud, Orange County Choppers has produced this paradoxical bike touted as the “first custom electric American chopper.” The [...]

Most of the time, these guys are funny and sometimes, like today, they are hysterical! This was a good one. Minigeek Geek And Poke: Minigeek

I’m sure that this vulnerability will be fixed almost immediately but because I love WordPress (and WordPress Mu) and use it for tons of blogs, I thought it best to clip the entire post from Martin @ gHacks today. It looks like it could be used for DDOS attacks but not for access. WordPress (and [...]

You HAVE to read this investigative report by The Smoking Gun on Pranknet. It’s like 800 pages but it is totally worth it and it looks like nothing is going to happen to this tool because he’s in Canada and law enforcement seems crippled by the International aspect of the “pranks”. Good read!! AUGUST 4–At [...]

I read this 911 call today about Erin Andrews being stalked. While I was mildly amused by the antics of the football player dancing behind her on the sidelines and then mildly amused by the camera man “accidentally” panning her ass, this made me feel bad for Erin. I think I’m done pointing attention to [...]

This is a pretty cool story. I had always heard that dogs had an intelligence of 4 years old but even so, that means dogs are pretty freaking smart! I wonder if they will stop eating them in China now… Researchers have found that dogs are capable of understanding up to 250 words and gestures, [...]

Wow. I’m sure the offer letters are going to pour in now. Trina Thompson, 27, of the Bronx, graduated from New York’s Monroe College in April with a bachelor of business administration degree in information technology. On July 24, she filed suit against the college in Bronx Supreme Court, alleging that Monroe’s “Office of Career [...]
