Just noticed a new Rammstein single out. I quite like their music...
the most funky part is that 2 out of 4 tracks are remixes on the main
single (Mein Teil) made by Pet Shop Boys. Perhaps, my favorite band of
all time is still Pet Shop Boys (I can ...

"It seems that Capitol Records has some sort of new copy protection
system, that automatically, silently, installs 'helpful' copy
protection software on MacOS and Windows as soon as you insert the CD
into default systems. I’m not sure exactly what it does yet, but
I am sure regreting actually purchasing said media now… they
don’t deserve my money if they choose to pull stupid stunts like
this. Installing software without your permission sounds like viral
malware behaviour to me. I certainly hope the AV companies put
signatures into their products for this crap." [Security Focus, via Furdlog]
Noted for when patrons complain that the CD they checked out from

Pep Boys Drives On
Pep Boys Drives On05/13/2004 04:55 PM The retailer continues its remodeling efforts.
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, a couple weeks ago I got a
copy of To The 5 Boroughs, the new Beastie Boys album. It's not much
of a growth for them, sounding a lot like their previous record Hello Nasty. Most
of the songs are somewhat forgettable, but MCA gets props for the
following rhyme in It Takes Time to Build:
We got a president we didn't elect,
The Kyoto Treaty he decided to neglect...
I never thought environmental treaties would make it into
mainstream hip-hop songs, but the Beasties proved me wrong.

Boys and Their Toys10/28/2003 11:09 PM What? You thought I was selling my older hardware for the fun of it?
Things I love about Kwyjibo, my new Sony Clie UX50: size, shape,
weight, screen, features, functionality, convenience, power cradle.
Things I don't love about Kwyjibo: (1) it relies on the Sony Memory
Suck; (2) No keyboard navigation; (3) unmanageable USB port cover; (4)
no way to flip between portrait / landscape mode; (5) deep reliance on
ass-nasty QuickTime codecs; and (6) poor out-of-the-box Outlook
integration. Even with these grievances aired, I must admit that I've
been quite pleased with "it" so far. Then again, who's ever completely
happy with their PDA?...

gun that fires tranquilizer darts or rubber bullets. Further research

The toy line, which will hit store shelves in the fall, will feature

appreciation and understanding of this character and the film to
create some truly fun and highly appealing toys," said Peter Byrne,
executive vp licensing at Fox Licensing & Merchandising.

Sims 2 hacks blowing up01/06/2005 07:46 PM Cory Doctorow:
Hacks for Sims 2 are spreading like wildfire:
Entire neighborhoods of Sims are being mysteriously graced with
eternal youth, while some characters are finding all their needs
fulfilled by a single shot of magic espresso. Others no longer need to
empty the toilet after potty training their toddler. Some Sims are
being abducted by aliens when they glance through their telescope --
every time, instead of just occasionally, which is normal.
All this mayhem is the work of a community of experimenters wielding
hex editors, custom programs and reverse-engineering skills who began
mastering their own Sims 2 worlds immediately after the game's release
last September. The hackers share their weird science with one another
through public websites and forums.
SimCity for Sims, recursion will eat itself02/16/2004 01:14 PM A third-party Sims developer has produced a version of SimCity for use

sims in a great simulation in the sky, executing on a celestial
computer the size of the universe, with "God" simply a gamer playing
an unimaginably scaled up version of the Sims. But I have my
suspicions. Have a melon. Lag. Dude<

Sims + Sex on CNN and the Daily Show02/13/2004 03:26 AM Two pieces of TV news coverage about the vrtual scandal involving
digital sex in the Sims Online -- and related discussions aired The Alphaville Herald
that led to the Herald's Peter Ludlow being
yanked from the game. Ludlow writes:
CNN has produced a story on the joys of cyberbrothels in alphaville.
I have no idea if it has aired on the network. It seems that the
reporter (Bruce Burkhardt) got his virtual ashes hauled in the Jiggolo
[sic] Escorts cyber brothel, which offers a good hour of cybering for
the low low price of 17 K simoleans. I guess my complaint would be
that the story makes it sould like all the Romance category houses are
sex oriented.
Meanwhile, everyone who is angry at me for the CNN story can look
forward to my ritual humiliation by The Daily Show on Comedy Central tonight! My students are
especially looking forward to this one, as will all haters of Urizenus
-- The producer promised that they would indeed make me look like a
total ass. I'm not sure what will make it into the story, but there is
a bit where Rob Cordry (sp?) insists that I shoot Polie Bear. There
are also some obligatory remarks about fisting parties (how else are
they going to stay on basic cable?).
