Subway Sandwiches: "Warum sind die Amis so fett?"

Subway Sandwiches: "Warum sind die
Amis so fett?"
08/19/2004 12:48 PM

That would be "Why are the Yanks so fat?" to you and I. This was the slogan used in Germany for a recent Subway/Super Size Me joint advertising campaign. Accompanying the advert was a rounded looking image (full size) of the Statue of Liberty carrying burgers and fries. Did Subway go too far in this campaign, or were they unfairly vilified for their jest?

Thanks <b>Steven Bink</b> for the heads up on this.. Seems Bink has some sort of exclusive on 2 new XP clients, read on!

Microsoft is developing 2 new "Server Centric Computing Clients" these clients are based on windows XP, so these will be "thin" clients for Terminal server purposes.

Microsoft wants to make Windows the platform of choice for server centric computing by offering new feature rich Windows SKUs for our enterprise and academic customers by providing management and servicing features parity with Windows XP Pro. These clients will offer innovative alternative to the traditional desktop for legacy PCs, low-end PCs, thin client devices and task workers.

Customers complain that Windows XP Pro too expensive for Structured Task Workers. Other request are:<ul><li>Need of one set of security, manageability & serviceability technologies across all clients</li>
<li>Disparity of HW requires broad driver support</li>
<li>Remote Bootable (network / diskless)</li>
<li>3rd Party Anti-Virus & Management support</li>
<li>Easy Shell Lock DownSmart App Install BlockingCodename</li></ul> News source: Bink.nu for the rest of the article.

Chuck Baldwin, prominent Baptist pastor:
"The Religious Right Scares
Me"
12/22/2004 01:19 AM
Dr. Chuck Baldwin, vice-presidential candidate on the Constitution Party ticket in the 2004 U.S. election, wrote a “Food For Thought From The Chuck Wagon” entitled I Am A Conservative Christian, And The Religious Right Scares Me, Too. Chuck Baldwin starts off demonstrating his Christian roots, e.g.I am currently in my thirtieth year as the Senior Pastor of the Crossroad Baptist Church (Independent) in Pensacola, Florida.Then he explains his opposition to the "Religious Right."Sadly, the Religious Right is now a movement without a cause, except the cause of advancing the Republican Party.[...] I used to believe that liberals were paranoid for being fearful of conservative Christians gaining political power. Now, I share their trepidation.

Conducting "secure" financial

Conducting "secure" financial
transactions with Internet Explorer
isn't safe
07/06/2004 04:50 AM
The latest exploit is a file called "img1big.gif" that decompresses into a malevolent Browser Helper Object (BHO) that captures your financial transactions. According to a report from SANS, this BHO: watches for HTTPS (secure) access to URLs of several dozen banking and financial sites in multiple countries. When an outbound HTTPS connection is made to such a URL, the BHO then grabs any outbound POST/GET data from within IE before it is encrypted by SSL. When it captures data, it creates an outbound HTTP connection to http://www.refestltd.com/cgi-bin/yes.pl and feeds the captured data to the script found at that location. There are only two choices left with IE: Either don't browse the web with it, or don't use it for financial transactions. Thank goodness there are choices like Mozilla, Firefox and Opera, for those of us still chained to Windows....

Unveiled yesterday in Japan, Samsung has shown what it claims is the world's first mobile phone that incorporates a hard drive.

The SPH-V5400 includes 1.5GB of hard disk storage as well as an FM radio, 64-voice polyphonic ringtone support, a 240 x 320 display and TV output preparing the way for the day when mobiles incorporate Microsoft Portable Media Center-style functionality.

When the SPH-V5400 goes on sale in South Korea later this month, it will retail for around $800.

Baltimore's "Free Books!"

Baltimore's "Free Books!"
Charity in Dire Straits
08/27/2004 01:28 PM
I spend anywhere from three to eight hours every week sweating along with a motley crew of local misfits, shelving, sorting, and hauling ton after ton of written matter in a rowhouse basement in Baltimore. We have no heat nor air conditioning, but still, every week, we come and work. Volunteer night is Wednesday, but many of us also work on the weekends, when we're open to the public. There are times when we're freezing and we have to wear coats and gloves inside, making handling books somewhat tricky; other times, we're all soaked with sweat, since it's 90 degrees out and the basement is thick with bodies. One learns to forget about personal space when working at The Book Thing, since you can scarcely breathe without bumping into someone, and we are all so accustomed to having to scrape by each other that most of us no longer bother to say "excuse me" unless some particularly dramatic brushing occurs.

Eolas: Legal Battle "Back To Square

Eolas: Legal Battle "Back To Square
One" For Round Two
08/20/2004 08:08 AM
As we reported just yesterday, Eolas has lost two of three legal disputes with Microsoft over it's patent and licensing claims. Eolas now claims the fight is far from over and has mailed an "office action" to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Eolas says the patent office had wrongfully withdrawn 10 of it's previous claims, including a previous finding from February. Eolas attorney Martin Lueck, of Minneapolis-based Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi LLP, said the patent office examiner had issued a new action—based on yet another piece of "prior art"—to reject the patent's claims. The prior-art piece was outside the examples offered by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), which brought the prior-art question to the attention of the patent office in November 2003.

"Eolas is attacking HTML itself. This goes to our heart," W3C CEO Steve Bratt said. "The patent could force Web site owners to modify their pages and server-side applications."
