St. Anger is, in my opinion, the only Metallica album so far to be a complete disappointment. The drumkit sounds like utter crap, the singer sounds like he's screaming from the room next door, and the actual "music" is so distorted and compressed that you can't even tell whether it's supposed to be music.

RFID tags are not like cookies.
An RFID tag allows the retailer to collect and store information that they previously couldn't access. For example they can identify each can of baked beans seperately.
However, a cookie just allows the web server to store information on your computer that it could already access. Cookies only store data that the web server already has anyway.
The retailers aren't simply getting a new way to store information, they're getting a new way to collect information.
I remember that logo from my high-school years... from that time I found a disk that did something nasty to the Apple 2E (is that what they were called? 2E or II-E or something...) and stopped it booting. I then proceeded to take the disk around and do that nasty thing to every Apple in the school.
that Bush doesn't do anything to piss Singapore off in the near future.
In other news (OT), does anyone know what the hell STFU means on a dishwasher LCD readout? I opened my dishwasher just then and it didn't stop running, therefore entirely covering me in water and bits of food. I closed it quickly and now it's blinking STFU on the LCD readout.
During August, 67 per cent of all
successful and verifiable digital attacks against on-line servers targeted Linux, followed by Microsoft Windows at 23.2 per cent.
Successful: Or perhaps the Windows people just haven't noticed yet since the majority of Windows server admins probably think that Windows Just Works(tm) and don't even review the security log.
Verifiable: So Linux just has better ways to verify that you have actually been attacked. There could have been twice as many attacks vs. Windows servers, only the admins didn't notice or couldn't "verify" the attack.
You should visit New Zealand some time. I can honestly say, I have never visited an international airport terminal here where there has not been at least one of the arrival/departure screens showing 'This program has performed an illegal operation'. And I visit a fair few international airports.

they must have some damn juicy servers on sitefinder.verisign.com... imagine the kind of hits they would be getting from all unresolvable DNS queries!

This concept is doomed.
Why should the spammers follow the new law - they are already breaking the law by sending the spam, so why would they abide by this new one?
As an aside, I recently received a whole set of spam messages with the following footer:
