Nothing like starting out the day by reading that the voting machines due to be used in an upcoming election in your state are completely insecure, making election results trivial to manipulate, and by extension, completely unreliable.

Best record label name *EVER*: I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison Records

Anybody have any suggestion for what to do about this sort of thing? (Yes, that’s my photo, my copyright, and it’s a straight link to the file on this site, yadda yadda, silly rabbit.) Is replacing it with a goatse file mandatory, or just traditional?

Update: Okay, file replaced with a, um, slightly nastier one. That link is now non-work-safe. 8^)=

A few more photos for the fans:

I swear I’ve seen her namesake make the exact same expression as I captured in that second photo…

Last week, I took a day trip up to NYC for LinuxWorld. I didn’t spring for the whole package this year, just the free pass to get onto the show floor. All in all, I guess it was worth the train ride up there — there were about as many vendors as last year, the same cool projects in the ‘org’ section of the show, the same big vendors, doing much the same canned presentations… Afterwards, I wandered around Mid-town for a number of hours, and ended up buying a Zaurus in J&R Computer World.

Update at 10:30pm: So, it looks like Dean is going to end up trailing Kerry by about 12 points — a “loss”, at least according to the talking heads. Based on some of the post-Iowa polling, however, he made up a lot of ground this week. All that said, what I saw of his “concession” speech was pretty awe-inspiring, and he’s still my guy in this race.

Sun to Windows-certify x86 hardware. The Dell spokesperson was apparently laughing too hard to offer a comment.

Something tells me that the Flutterbarians are going to really be into this one: Pornzilla

The goal of the Pornzilla project is to make Mozilla into a great porn browser. We mostly contribute to Mozilla directly, but in cases where the requirements for a porn browser conflict with the requirements for a general-release browser, we will release modifications that aren’t included in the main Mozilla distribution.

Scary as hell: America as a One-Party State

Happy as hell: Rasmussen Reports poll puts Bush at 3 points under a generic Democratic opponent.

For those of you that managed to choke down your gorge and sit throught the entire SOTU last night, the Center for American Progress has a Fact vs. Claim Analysis to help sort out truth from fiction.
