2.28.2001 Who Do You Want to Rip Off Today? Damn this is bad ... considering Microsoft was sued ten+ years ago for ripping off Mac's "look-and-feel," and is currently under investigation for antitrust charges, did they have to go and pick clean the bones of Mac OSX too?

from the Lighter Side of the Ecological Holocaust:
White peak on Kilimanjaro to disappear: dont worry kids, you can still relive the magic here, or even take it home with you (you dont even have to be literate, and with this guy reading, who wants to be?). of course, with the help of disney, all you need to do to get snow in africa is shake. posted by rhino
2.16.2001 Win32 Error Codes:
The directory cannot validate the proposed naming context name because it does not hold a replica of the naming context above the proposed naming context. Please ensure that the domain naming master role is held by a server that is configured as a global catalog server, and that the server is up to date with its replication partners. posted by rhino
2.15.2001 These screenshots of the next Windows generation, newly christened XP, look more like Sony's "My First OS" than MSN Explorer does. Fuck, can it teach phonics? (Can't learn computers? just log on to http://www.bite.my.big.org/dumbass.html#condescending! It's easy!)
And why does everything need a hazy blue gradient?? posted by creon

hey kids! do you want to be an FBI agent? that's right girls, you too can be an androgynous she-male! and boys, how jealous will your friends be when they find out you are the token ethnic guy? all it takes is a printer and a devotion to agency dogma that overrides your instinct for self-preservation.

i thought this article was in some way serious or legitimate, because (i thought) reasonable people can believe in aliens, then i hit "the El Camino of Ignorance".

Police Say Girl Sent AOL Threats to Self
"... officers began to investigate frightening threats "to shoot up the school" in a supposed plot to kill students and teachers ... The girl had concocted an elaborate scheme to get the other girls in trouble: She had created false Internet identities in their names and had private chats with herself, literally threatening herself on her own computer." This pisses me off so much, especially because I know a kid who got put in a mental hospital for 3 weeks by his high school for wearing a black trenchcoat, which he always wore, the week after Columbine. No parental consent, no logic, just one hyper bitch, a paranoid authority figure and we're all fucked. posted by creon
I've had some interesting conversations about ecstasy since New York Times Magazine (in)hailed it, all pro-MDMA. Will middle America feel the love? Will I?
And like Bill Hicks asked, "What's gonna happen to the arms industry when we realize were all one? It's gonna fuck up the economy! The economy that's fake anyway!" posted by creon
from a icq-conversation creon and i were having after i had to rewrite large chunks of a users registry because she got a virus:
these computers are just like diseased, neglected children of inbreds: you dont know where they've been, they're covered in scars, every crevice in their body is filled with dirt and shit, and they have managed to contract the strangest ailments from the bad kids, on top of all the hereditary disfunction they've inherited from their parents. this is possibly the beginning of a new series of posts: Rhino's Tales of Tech-Support Terror (creon's title, not mine, so complain to him), though i will quite likely get sick of my own bitching. posted by rhino
2.5.2001 Iron Chef: The Movie!! Better than Lego Chef?
"Iron Chef King" and "Mr. Iron Chef" episodes were made and aired before Iron Chef was cancelled in Japan, and hopefully these battles (Sakai vs. Morimoto? Awesome!) will make their way here, too. posted by creon
2.4.2001 if you're feeling all despondant because Homey dont play that, you can rest assured that Ouchy the Clown does.

Shop Mandiberg: i cant tell whether this is funny, sick, or the most insightful and daring piece of performance art i've seen. it could be that he's joined a cult or is on the road to enlightenment, but how often can you say that you bought something like this online. plus, the site has a better design than a lot of the corporate crap out there.

LimeWire: An advanced free multiplatform file-sharing Gnutella compatible client, available for Linux. Of course, their Linux port is really a Java app with a VM, not a native GTK or X app, so it's a leetle slow ... but it looks pretty! It also supports a billion features that no other client has across a million platforms, so it's worth the speed tradeoff.
Fuck Napster! (their legal troubles have put a GPL newsreader, GNOME's Pan, in trouble ... it only grows.) posted by creon
2.3.2001 See? Linus did appear, and held up the Golden Penguin. Heh, New York is a strange town.

2.2.2001 George W. Bush's Weblog
Hey, we recorded Episode 13 before I went on my "trip" to LinuxWorld, and I just got back. In this episode we smoke paper cell phones, plan a golden idol of Linus, rag on "Star Wars"/SDI part 2, and tell you why it's time to drop Napster ... so listen now! posted by creon
