Post update...still blocking links

On: MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated]

But, it works OK after I hacked the user agent string to read "Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; IRIX 6.5 IP32)"

In fact it looks fine! only 1 little Amazon add and no pop-overs.

On: Feds Want Access to Your Machine

C: dir
drugrec.xls
cocaine.txt

Which brings up a question... Assuming one
does not name files with obvious names, how
do you tell an encryped file named
foo.dll from a real file foo.dll. Or even
better, is there not an encryption related
technology available that weaves drugrec.xls
into foo.dll in such a way that makes drugrec.xls
indetectable while preserving the function of
foo.dll?

It seems that this type of scheme is better
then straight encryption. Might be useful
to our Chinese friends today.

You may not have to panic

On: "The Word" from E*Trade About the RH IPO

The broker I spoke to last night said that because I has picked the box that said "at the ipo price - which is expected to be 10-12" and did not click the box that set a firm conditional price, that I did not have to worry about upping my offer, it would happen automagically - to whatever the price is set to.

Of course he may have been messing with my geek mind , but he _seemed_ legit.

but hey it's too late now. :)
