On: Patent Examiners Flee USPTO

Soaring numbers of patent applications for software and business processes is not only leading to the ludicrous patents for the likes of Amazon and Microsoft.

On: PHP Blogging Apps Open to XML-RPC Exploits

I just checked my logs.. and nothing. Then again I upgraded my Wordpress install the day WP came out with a fix. ;) you're best bet is to just delete the xmlrpc.php file, if you got one.

Japan doesnt export enough? Who needs to export when we have the internet. Who cares if you can't go to your local Blockbuster and rent/purchase it. Go to an online anime shop, and buy it there..

load of crap

On: Most Americans Want Gov't To Make Internet Safer

/begin rant This is the biggest load of crud I've read yet. What I don't understand is that the average joe expects the internet to be safe. And when it's not safe, they cry to their mom. When the mom finds out little joe sixpack is browsing porn and infected their computer with spyware, malware, what-have-you, they want someone to do something about it. Who? the government of course. The government can fix anything..and in the process take away our liberty and freedoms.. /end rant

copyprotection

On: When Copy Protection Fails

This has happened to me as well. I purchased the new rock band album, Trapt, and it has the copyprotection on it. I could not play it in on my home PC, without ripping it to Mp3 first.

It's really sad that it has to come to this, but it's our fault in the first place I guess.
