The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: A new lie from Microsoft? Or just wishful thinking?
The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: A new lie from Microsoft? Or just wishful thinking?: "A new lie from Microsoft? Or just wishful thinking?
See here. Headline reads: 'Next version of Windows to be `fundamentally different.'' Um, no it won't. It will be fundamentally the same. It will suck. For a quarter of a century these guys have been putting out sucky operating systems and vowing that the next one is not going to suck. Or won't such as much. Or something. But they always suck. They can't help it. The suckitude is ingrained in their culture. It's in their DNA. Sorry, Bill."

New Orleans' Rebuilt Levees "Riddled With Flaws"
Joel K. Bourne, Senior Editor–Environment, National Geographic Magazine
for National Geographic News
May 6, 2007
Almost a year ago the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers declared that it had restored New Orleans' levees and floodwalls to pre-Hurricane Katrina strength.
But the system is actually riddled with flaws, and a storm even weaker than Katrina could breach the levees if it hit this year, say leading experts who have investigated the system."

Slashdot | AOL's Embarassing Password Woes
An anonymous reader writes 'AOL.com users may think they have up to sixteen characters to use as a password, but they'd be wrong, thanks to this security artifact detailed by The Washington Post's Security Fix blog: 'Well, it turns out that when someone signs up for an AOL.com account, the user appears to be allowed to enter up to a 16-character password. AOL's system, however, doesn't read past the first eight characters.' This means that a user who uses 'password123' or any other obvious eight-character password with random numbers on the end is in effect using just that lame eight-character password.'"

Dvorak Uncensored » Have any cockroaches for sale?
Dvorak Uncensored » Have any cockroaches for sale?: "A Houston museum is offering 25 cents per cockroach to fill an exhibit about the wonders of insects that eat decomposing things.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science wants 1,000 American cockroaches, which grow to 2 inches long, can fly and thrive in the city’s sub-tropical climate, said museum entomologist Laurie Pierrel on Wednesday.
They will be part of an exhibit polishing the image of bugs that feed off decaying organic matter and in so doing add to the general cleanliness.
Pierrel said she will be outside the museum the next three Saturdays with a bucket for the bugs and money for the sellers.
How big will the bucket be? I can think of a few really big cockroaches we’d all love to be rid of."
