Out-Of-The-Box Windows 7 Install Is Vulnerable To 8 out of 10 Viruses

Posted by 1337g33k on November 5, 2009

Gizmodo:

“The folks at SophosLabs didn’t believe claims that Windows 7 and its User Account Controls were any more secure than previous versions of the OS, so they tested a clean install. Result? A reminder that you should always use protection.

The way the test was conducted is that ten viruses were introduced into a clean install of Windows 7 with the UAC settings on system defaults. While only one virus was blocked, two technically did not function properly for whatever reason. Still, this doesn’t leave much hope for those who decide to skip automatic patching, firewalls and anti-virus applications. Let’s do the whole “Safer Computing” thing, shall we?” [Sophos]

Agassi’s Wild Hair in the 1990s? Yep, a Wig!

Posted by 1337g33k on November 2, 2009

Holy crap…

Neatorama:

“Remember the wild hair of Andre Agassi in the 1990s? Yep, you guessed it: a wig!

“I asked myself: you want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court? I answered myself; what else could I do?”

But the wig began to disintegrate as he took a shower the night before the Paris final — “probably I used the wrong hair rinse,” Agassi writes.

He panicked and called his brother Philly into the room. Together, they managed to clamp the wig together using clips and pins.

Agassi, 39, writes: “Of course I could have played without my hairpiece, but what would all the journalists have written if they knew that all the time I was really wearing a wig?

“During the warming-up training before play I prayed. Not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off.

“With each leap, I imagine it falling into the sand. I imagine millions of spectators move closer to their TV sets, their eyes widening and, in dozens of dialects and languages, ask how Andre Agassi’s hair has fallen from his head.”

LOL!!

“Today’s vampires have very little in common with each other, but can they still take over the world? This video puts Dracula, Edward Cullen, Angel, and Sesame Street’s The Count in the same room as they plot to overthrow humanity.”

“Imagine that Fred, Daphne and even Shaggy were eaten by zombies, vamps and other big bad beasties. Where would that leave Velma? In supernatural slayer mode, of course. Check out this awesomely wicked Velma-centric Scooby-Doo fan art.

Quick someone get Dr. Monster a comic book deal stat, we want to see what happens next.”

Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing

Posted by 1337g33k on October 28, 2009

Boing Boing: “Watch Senator Al “Kick-Ass” Franken wipe up the floor with this health-care-lobby shill from the Hudson Institute who claimed that
universal healthcare would increase medical bankruptcies. This is the perfect mix of being sensible and being devastatingly sarcastic, and I
love him for it. Go Al!”
