Aurora reference
For reference, the only two links I could find on Aurora shooter (and Westview '06 grad) James Holmes, prior to his attendance at Westview being confirmed to the press:
A set of results from a cross country meet, the small schools/frosh-soph division of a race held at Kit Carson Park in Escondido, where he came in 21st.

Your friend, FunnyJunk.com
If you've never heard of funnyjunk.com, it's run by a content thief. It's a haven for incompetence, stupidity, and douchebaggery. Site owner Charles Carreon continues to sink lower and lower, embarassing a legal profession which already has little public respect ( Read more... ) -
X-header crap
It is ridiculous how big this section of my .muttrc has gotten. Every goddamned special snowflake mailer has to have its own collection of X-headers...

XScreensaver vs. Fedora Core 16 and Gnome 3
I just started a new job where my desktop system runs Linux. It's been pretty common for me to use a lot of Linux systems in the past--I had windows open to them at Momentum and Teradata, and I had a secondary system under my desk at Qualcomm running it--but this is the first time the monitors on the desk in front of me are directly driven by a ( Read more... ) -
On Joe Paterno...
I've been stewing on this for a while. I've been pretty swamped, so I haven't had the proper time to put it to paper. That Joe Paterno died this weekend is just happenstance... I don't intend to dance on anyone's grave, but if that's what it is, I don't feel too badly about it ( Read more... ) -

Per 2515049's complaint on #uiuc, here's hoping Google will find this:

Apache revealing dotfiles
Just a reminder... if you're using Apache to offer listings of directories, and those directories may be mounted by an OS X host, you probably don't want to publish any dotfiles that OS X creates (like .DS_Store) to the world. afpd will MIME-translate the dots, so they start :2e. It's beneficial to add this to your httpd.conf:

20 Pounds of Raw, Unrefined Awesome
A letter to the editor of Stars And Stripes:
Let’s get on the same page here: No one needs your approval for what they do behind closed doors. This change in ["don’t ask, don’t tell"] policy is going to happen and everyone has to accept it. This ignorance that seems to be the social norm needs to be squashed ASAP.
When they change the policy, it ( Read more... ) -
Resignations for everybody!
The AP covered Easter mass in Rome: "Holy Father, on your side are the people of God," Cardinal Angelo Sodano told the pontiff, whom victims of clergy sexual abuse accuse of helping to shape and perpetuate a climate of cover-up. Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, dismissed those claims as "petty gossip."
So the rest of us are not the people ( Read more... ) -
I don't have to read the bill to know it sucks
Yeah, here's the Senate's first draft "cybersecurity" billFirst, who wrote it? Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe. Two people whose greatest previous digital achievements have probably been finding the "Reply All" button and forwarding e-mail hoaxes without the obstruction of checking Snopes first. You know, if the Democrats had the balls to make ( Read more... )
