Victory will not look like the ones our fathers and grandfathers achieved. There will be no surrender ceremony on the deck of a battleship.

Victory also doesn't look like a douche bag "pilot" landing on an carrier with "Mission Accomplished" banner.

On a sidenote, he only cried "9/11" once.

Transcript of President's Address to the Nation

In light of this update to Memestreams (and the many new features in the pipline), its safe to say we are on our way to conquering the world!

I want to conquer the world

from Mike the Usurper:

These words or phrases are your cues to drink:

* "9/11" - drink once
* "September the 11th" drink twice - is that extra "the" supposed to make the mention more dramatic?
* "Surge" - drink once
* "Escalation" or "escalate" - drink twice.

Tonight's drinking rules! Because no one should have to be sober listening to someone who sounds that drunk.

Your sister is wrong. It's totally not a country music song. Even in the manner you sang it:

Don’t go back to Rockvillllllllllllllle
Don’t go back to Rockvillllllllllllllle
Don’t go back to Rockvillllllllllllllle

(beat)

And waste another year

And to my oriental homie in D.C:

Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I'd like to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

This graph of Apple's stock is boring. Until you see this minute by minute transcript. Add 3 hours to all the times in the transcript. Now things are interesting.

The first peak in Apple's stock price (approx 1:45 EST, or 10:45 PST) was at the tail end of Steve Job's demoing the phone. He then goes on to talk about the busniess side (the price, exclusive with Cingular, etc) as well as the target 1% market share goal and the share price drops a little.

It's like watching a sing-a-song, only with lots of money!

Fab@Home is a website dedicated to making and using fabbers - machines that can make almost anything, right on your desktop. This website provides an open source kit that lets you make your own simple fabber, and use it to print three dimensional objects. You can download and print various items, try out new materials, or upload and share your own projects. Advanced users can modify and improve the fabber itself.

Fabbers (a.k.a 3D Printers or rapid prototyping machines) are a relatively new form of manufacturing that builds 3D objects by carefuly depositing materials drop by drop, layer by layer. Slowly but surely, with the right set of materials and a geometric blueprint, you can fabricate complex objects that would normally take special resources, tools and skills if produced using conventional manufacturing techniques. A fabber can allow you explore new designs, email physical objects to other fabber owners, and most importantly - set your ideas free. Just like MP3s, iPods and the Internet have freed musical talent, we hope that blueprints and fabbers will democratize innovation.

Holy Crap! Ok, I'm canceling the flower budget for the wedding and redirecting it to buiding one of these!

There are many way to specify a URL in a hyperlink. For all these examples, assume the user is currently looking at the page http://www.memestreams.net/topics/

For example, this is an absolute URL:
http://www.memestreams.net/topics/

Absolute URLs tell the browser what protocol to use (HOW), what hostname to contact (WHERE), and what resource to grab (WHAT).

You can specify an relative URL:

/topics/

In this can, the URL is relative to where the user currently is. The browser already knows it is using the HTTP protocol (HOW), it already knows the hostname (WHERE). The link simply tells the browser the resource to grab (WHAT).

Most people, including me, think that there is no way to create a hyperlink pointing to a different WHERE than you are currently on without specifying the HOW. For example, the following hyperlink does not take you to msblabs.org

msblabs.org/headers.php

Instead the browser links see this as the equivalent of following, which does not exist.

http://www.memestreams.net/topic/msblabs.org/headers.php,

The browser doesn't know that the msblabs.org specifies the WHERE, and is not part of the WHAT.

However, there is a way to define a hyperlink that points to a different WHERE without specifying the HOW.

//msblabs.org/headers.php

This URL construction is perfectly valid, and the // lets the browser know that it should fetch this resource using the current HOW, but that the text after the // but before the / specifies a new WHERE. Yes this is messed up. Yes its in the RFC spec. Yes there are sites in the wild like SlashDot that use this form.

And yes, I still want to punch Tim Berners-Lee in the face.

(16:15:26) John Terril: like instant ramen

What John really needs is some kind of VD litmus paper.

You want me to accept that the users should now become their own UI designers? Doesn't sound good to me. I may not know much about UI, but I know that my generic, fixed width, locked down site design is at least capable of conveying the relevant content to a large percentage of the public.

I don't want a different customized UI's for every user or user agent. I want adaptive UIs.

My mom is not going to design her own style style for a website. But when my mom bumbs the font size of http://www.cnn.com up 2 levels and suddenly the menu bar is going off the screen and text doesn't fit in boxes anymore, that's is a problem.

When a user enters in a bunch of text into a comment block and it appears as one long line going right over the pretty floating table of content, thats a problem.

When I have a 1400x900 screen and a blog renders as a thin vertical strip maybe 700 pixels across thats just silly.

This can be fixed, and it doesn't require you hacking around IE6 lacks of PNG transparency or Safari's crazy JavaScript. It's making smart decisions about how you define the layout of a page.

RE: Publishing on the Web Is Different!

-- Disclosure Timeline:
2006.02.27 - Pre-existing digital Vaccine released to TippingPoint
customers
2006.08.31 - Vulnerability reported to vendor
2006.12.12 - Coordinated public release of advisory

I noticed this in a vuln report for a remote code execution in JavaScript for IE. Maybe this is a mistake, but it appears that TippingPoint aka 3Com took steps to protect/secure their customers 6 months before even reporting the issue.

Surely this cannot be a standard security practice. Is this what corporate 0-day purchasing has forced?

Vuln Disclosure? WTF?
