12.19.2001 BWAHhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

12.15.2001 From the makers of the coolest site not to publish new content since, well, since before I can remember (no not that one, not that one, not that one either; yep, that's the one):
Moodstats: It's like imood for people with a design fetish, OCD, and disposable income to toss away on emotional exhibitionism posted by rhino
12.14.2001 FBI software cracks encryption wall
So now the FBI is using the tactics previously employed by the "ILOVEYOU" virus to compromise Americans' computer security with their own backdoors. This government-issue virus, called "Magic Lantern," installs a keylogger, a program that (now read this carefully) records every key you hit on your keyboard and sends it to the FBI. The FBI has admitted it exists, after denying it for a few weeks. God dammit, I'm getting sick of this. It's not bad enough that I don't trust having a direct connection to the Internet because I'm forced to use Windows on one of my computers, and its hundreds of ensuing vulnerabilities (let's put it this way; there's only one point of entry to my home network - SSH, and it's currently blocked). Now I have to wonder whether my passwords and e-mails are being transmitted to the FBI, and - who knows? - seen by some other third party while in transit?!? How can we possibly work and live in a free international society when a certain nation-state is compromising communications within its own country, and therefore compromising the security of anyone who communicates with us? posted by creon
12.7.2001 The Bad Sex award was set up to "draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it." The entries are like those for the Bulwer-Lytton, except with more focus on creative ways of referring to love-mounds and passion-poles.

12.3.2001 Rhino's Theorem of Internet Queries
For any question A that can be answered by the internet, there are two other questions that are already answered which take the forms B) Is anyone making money off of it? and C) Is anyone turned on by it? Ex: A) Just how cold and dry is Sweden? B) What kind of products does that climate call for? C) Is there anyone who would be turned on by this kind of thing? Q.E.D. posted by rhino
