A researcher found a way to root IOS, the Cisco Operating System. They pulled his presentation at the Black Hat Conference at the last minute, which prompted him to quit and give it anyway. Of course, he’s getting sued. I’m reading Jeniffer Government right now, and this sort of thing makes me feel less at ease every day. {0}

“That’s so unfair. When this guy tries to get people to walk naked around his gallery it’s art, but when I try to persuade the girl behind the counter at the grocers it’s “Lewd Behaviour” and “Sexual Harresment” and “Breaching My Restraining Order”. Bloody double standards.”

How to Tell When a Relationship is Over (qt) in 90 seconds. ptr kitta {4}

So, I was looking at Kitta’s pussy over at ThinkGeek (yes, that is her pussy), and I started looking for the best action shots. To start things off: a cute baby. Ok. Now that’s out of the way, this one has horrible cabling practices to be a proper centerfold, this one totally looks like an ex girlfriend of mine, this one gets in because of the nondescript animal she’s holding. Commie Girl, Power Girl and Binary lady are tres chic. And of course, there’s the panty shot, the panty-less shot, the boob shot, and my favorite: the binary sleepy candid shot. If you find other good ones, post them here. {5}

Planarity is a disentangling game that will gnaw at your entrails and drive you mad until you start running around naked and blabbing nonsense. Trust me: if you’re at all obsessive, stay away from this link. If you decide to try, I got as far as level 12. {17}

London Will Fucking Twat You In A Minute, Son. A well-meaning american sets up a post-9/11 ish site for everyone to cry about london and “be a londoner today”. Londoners find it, messages change tone to the likes of “If you’re all Londoners today, that’s eight quid each for the congestion charge” {1}

07/07/05 More than 30 die in London blasts. God, this is awful. Personal tally: Jeremy is ok. So are Dunstan, Richard and Cory. I’d like to hear from Oxton, Ian, Hicks, Andy and the other Andy. Update: Oxton and Ian are fine. Patrick is also ok. Apparently, Hicks has been online. Andy Budd just confirmed ok’ness. Andy Clarke is fine, too. My sympathy goes to all those affected by this stupid act of idiocy. {10}
