IMO, Calvin and Hobbes was the greatest comic strip ever made (Bloom County and Pogo tie for second place). So you can imagine how happy I was to find the Calvin and Hobbes Extensive Strip Search, which enables keyword searching of every Calvin and Hobbes comic. Want to see all the Spaceman Spiff strips?

Security Headaches? Take ASP.NET 2.0! 06/21/2004 11:23 PM
New security features are an important improvement in ASP.NET 2.0. These features include membership services that manage a database of user accounts, hashed passwords, a role manager for managing role membership for users, and five new server-side controls that make implementing forms authentication much easier. ASP.NET 2.0 also offers a provider model that gives you complete control over the implementation of the Membership and Role services and cookieless forms authentication. You also get easy Web-based administration for simple local and remote administration of user accounts and roles, as well as enhanced control of other non-security related settings.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Headaches

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Headaches 07/19/2004 11:41 AM

Companies brace for Microsoft security update: An interesting look at the apparently huge Windows XP Service Pack 2 due next month and what it means for software companies. The changes will affect thousands of programs that have depended on how Windows handles certain things.

The new system bolsters security on Windows, its built-in Internet Explorer browser and Outlook Express e-mail. Among the changes, a Windows Firewall will automatically be turned on, helping to guard against attack. The browser has been fortified, and a new attachment manager will offer tougher policing against e-mail-borne attacks.

The changes in the way Windows polices itself — particularly the newly strengthened firewall — could cause troubles for applications that are used to working with Windows' old ways. Some say that's particularly true of applications that regularly interact online, such as gaming programs or music services.

Copy Protection software Starforce
causing gamers headaches

Copy Protection software Starforce
causing gamers headaches 07/12/2004 10:47 PM

Imagine you go out buy a Game install it play it several months and then remove it from your computer you would expect the game to clean up after itself. Apparently Starforce copy protection is embedded in some games and installs itself onto Gamers hard-drives and when the games are removed the Starforce code remains. This has led to performance issues and being these gaming companies assume every consumer is a criminal. They have decided invading these peoples computers is a good for business. If I wanted to copy a game I would just go on the net and download the cracked version. Gaming companies need to start treating their customers like customers instead of criminals. [Techdirt]

I recommend you read the article on Broadband Reports they have links to clean up tools.

OS X update has Bluetooth caller ID

OS X update has Bluetooth caller ID 05/27/2004 05:07 PM
Gadget Lab's Brian Lam sez: "I noticed that you covered blue phonemenu in the past, so figured I'd drop a line about the new os x panther update. I was just reading the update details and saw this :

"Dialog windows for incoming phone calls and SMS messages for a paired Bluetooth phone now appear in the foreground."

I just tested it. You have to pair your bluetooth phone in address book, and a little pop up comes up, like bluephonemenu. The dialog choices are: add card/log call, sms reply, hang up, answer.

Log call puts the time and date of the call in the address book entry

Unfortunately, the pop up box doesn't show an image of the person calling - that would be freakin' cool

For SMS, the pop-up box has the dialog choices: log sms, reply, and ok.

It's pretty good, and stable, but doesn't sit in the system tray like bluephonemenu. Link

Bogus-ify your outgoing caller ID

Bogus-ify your outgoing caller ID 08/31/2004 01:06 AM
Xeni Jardin: Ahoy, stalkers, crank yankers, and evil telemarketer scumbags! Beginning this Wednesday, September 1, US-based online company Star38.com will offer paying subscribers a Caller ID falsification service. Make-believe you're the White House! Or 1-800-CALL-ATT! Or, hell, get your '80s on and vamp out in 867-5309! Kevin Poulsen of SecurityFocus tried it out, and evidently the service checked out as providing what it promised. Users complete an online form with phone number, number they want to call, number they want to appear to be calling from; in a couple of seconds, the system rings back to patch them through to their call destination. But, like, in a secret numeric disguise: call recipients see the spoofed number displayed on Caller ID. Link to Register article (via /., which contains some interesting debate from readers over whether or not the system is a truly effective spoofing mechanism)
