Teens prosecuted for racy photos
Topic: Society 11:25 pm EST, Feb 10, 2007

Combine unsupervised teenagers, digital cameras and e-mail, and, given sufficient time, you'll end up with risque photographs on a computer somewhere.

There's a problem with that: Technically, those images constitute child pornography.

Amber and Jeremy were arrested. Each was charged with producing, directing or promoting a photograph featuring the sexual conduct of a child. Based on the contents of his e-mail account, Jeremy was charged with an extra count of possession of child pornography.

News Alert to all your 16 and 17 year olds out there: You can bang, but you cannot take pictures of it.

Life is too sort to spend 2300 hours a year working on someone else's idea of what the right problems are.

This is a hard, hard decision.

Man to women to man ?= man
Topic: Miscellaneous 1:45 pm EST, Feb  8, 2007

I just saw a clip for one of these daytime talk shows. The topic was men who had a sex change to become a woman, and then had a sex change back to being a man.

Won't the results be kind of like translating from English to Japanese, and then back to English again?

Super Bowl XLI website owned
Topic: Technology 2:45 pm EST, Feb  2, 2007

Websense® Security Labs™ has discovered that the official website of Dolphin Stadium has been compromised with malicious code. The Dolphin Stadium is currently experiencing a large number of visitors, as it is the home of Sunday's Super Bowl XLI. The site is linked from numerous official Super Bowl websites and various Super Bowl-related search terms return links to the site.

A link to a malicious javascript file has been inserted into the header of the front page of the site. Visitors to the site execute the script, which attempts to exploit two vulnerabilities: MS06-014 and MS07-004. Both of these exploits attempt to download and execute a malicious file.

Thanks to Jeremiah Grossman for sending me a message today bringing this to my attention.

Declan McCullagh posted some good resources about this. All are plain text and will not harm you.

Site Update - Bug Fixes to Recommend
Topic: Current Events 9:07 am EST, Feb  2, 2007

We pushed a bug fix to production late last night which should address a problem with Recommend. If you've noticed people have %22 in their posts instead of a ", or have had the URL for hyperlinks, images, or videos in a post you were creating suddenly disappear, that shouldn't happen anymore. Let Decius or me know if there are any problems.

Thanks!
