So um, iTunes just told me it can't read the contents of my iPod and that I should use the software updater to reset it to factory settings. Not even an attempt at fixing it, urgh.
I thought something was wrong when it didn't list the songs I had loaded it with last time, and when one of the playlists had a blank name with blank contents. So, some kind of corruption I suppose.
Now my question is, does anyone know of some kinda magic restoration tool? I have an app to completely back up the music from the pod to the HD, then back again, but god damn what a process to go through.. again.

And the fun continues today from the stolen identity stuff. Today my beautiful bride tells me that wally-mart just turned the both of us down for credit. This is the third merchant in as many weeks to turn us down. We did not apply for these things, someone else did for us. Joy.
Anyway the fraud alert seems to be doing it’s job, as I am notified every time credit is attempted in my name. However each time I get one of these calls I am hopping mad for the rest of the day. Today, just to be sure nothing had gotten through the cracks I figured I should pony up to the “man” ahem, mob, at Equifax and have a look see for myself. This is something I have been doing every 3 to 6 months anyway before all this crap.

So my mom got herself a new phone and gave me her old one to try out. Pretty crap Sony Ericsson Z200 but I've had my other one for so long I'll give it a trial period. Anyway, surfing around I stumbled onto some UK phone site, and this user review almost made my brain's failsafe switch go off:

Today, the signature of modern American capitalism is neither benign competition, nor class straggle, nor an inclusive middleclass utopia. Instead, predation has become the dominant feature-a system wherein the rich have come to feast on decaying systems built for the middle class. The predatory class is not the whole of the wealthy; it may be opposed by many others of similar wealth. But it is the defining feature, the leading force. And its agents are in full control of the government under which we live.
For in a predatory regime, nothing is done for public reasons. Indeed, the men in charge do not recognize that "public purposes" exist. They have friends, and enemies, and as for the rest--we're the prey. Hurricane Katrina illustrated this perfectly, as Halliburton scooped up contracts and Bush hamstrung Kathleen Blanco, the Democratic governor of Louisiana. The population of New Orleans was, at best, an afterthought; once dispersed, it was quickly forgotten.
The predator-prey model explains some things that other models cannot: in particular, cycles of prosperity and depression. Growth among the prey stimulates predation. The two populations grow together at first, but when the balance of power shifts toward the predators (through rising interest rates, utility rates, oil prices, or embezzlement), both can crash abruptly. When they do, it takes a long time for either to recover.

I really like this commercial
My favorite parts are the dog and the bulllfrog...oh ya and the dirty hippy that I think represents in this piece the essence of San Fransisco.
also though I am glad they used Jose Gonzales. I have his CD—Veneer and its awesome.

Washington Post
The Montana is based on GM's subcompact Corsa car. Its 1.8-liter FlexPower engine generates 112 horsepower at 5,600 revolutions per minute and 174 foot-pounds of torque at 2,800 revolutions per minute. But it's a spunky, stable little thing at high speeds. Its five-speed manual shifter works smoothly. With its barely five-foot-long cargo box, it offers urban utility while minimizing urban parking hassles. The interior is one of the best looking I've seen in any small truck. It averages the U.S. equivalent of 35 miles per gallon on the highway.

I have had to do a bit of research on the topic of assuring delivery of e-mail lately. E-mail as we know it is based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
SMTP was released in August of 1982 to a much younger more naive internet, still called arpanet. The protocol was created to link e-mail in various disparate systems. The goal being that, if you knew an e-mail address then you could just send mail without thinking about how it was to get there. Messages could (and still can for the most part!) be sent using things as simple as telnet without even having an e-mail account.
Here is a link on SMTP commands. http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html
If you attempt some of these commands against an e-mail server you will see just how easy it is to send out e-mail as if you were someone else. Some of the guys at the ISP I interned at in 1997 showed me this. I thought it was nothing more then a cool novelty at the time when I received an e-mail from god@god.com telling me to go on a divine quest to buy Steve and Patrick tacos or face damnation.

I read several friends' blogs and I read Boing Boing. The problem with friends' blogs is that they can be inconsistantly updated. And Boing Boing is great, but sometimes it's just not what I am looking for, like when they have 9 posts about anagram transit maps, and 7 posts about earwax removal.
What blogs do you all read that are updated regularly and aren't going for the "funny" or "entertaining" angle?

I found this while trolling the retards at FC. Some good tips from a guy who lived through the 2001 depression in Argentina
BEGINS:
My brother visited Argentina a few weeks ago. He’s been living in Spain for a few years now.
Within the first week, he go sick, some kind of strong flu, even though climate isn’t that cold and he took care of himself.
Without a doubt he got sick because there are lots of new viruses in my country that can’t be found in 1st world countries.

This article has a good point about how the question "If you aren't doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?" asserts that it's alright for the government to be watching you.

Blue Security folds under spammer's wrath (Security Focus)
How would this story be different if an online giant had been running this operation? I call on Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, or some other online giant to pick up where Blue Security left off. Not only should spam be filtered, but the spammers should suffer for sending it in the first place.

Lauren requested that I do this, and since I'm that guy, I'm posting it... her cousin, Henry Joost is a fledgling (or not so fledgling) filmmaker living in NYC. He's in the running for a video contest put out by Scion - so you should go vote for him. He's the one that's Henry Joost.
The band, Palomar has a myspace page, if you want to check them out. The video really is pretty good - and Lauren might give me a cookie if Henry wins due to the extra 8 1/2 votes I can wheedle out of you, so please, for the love of cookies, vote... think of the cookies! |

Innocent Man Mistaken For Registered Offender
From the Washington Post
Basicly this guy was run out of suburbia, and his girlfriend's parents chased him away for what? He once had a roommate that was a sex offender, and he took a nap before picking up his girlfriend for a date.
How many of you have arrived somewhere early and taken a nap in your car before going inside? I know I have done it many times. |

I got this in an email today:
There are eight rooms, each with a single door to go in and out. Four of the rooms have light switches and four of them have light bulbs. You can enter and exit each room exactly one time. After you leave a room, the door closes and locks behind you. Your job is to determine which light switches control which light bulbs.

Recently on Techdirt, there was an article about why the arguments for copy protection are bad, and I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with him on this.
I've never paid it much mind - for specifically the reason he brings up - because everything that could be copy protected is already cracked and online. However, that doesn't seem to faze most companies, and I don't see it going away. |

I think Kevin Spacey does a really good Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor. He's going to be awesome.
Of interest to me is the fact that this will be opening at IMAX a week before this year's Virginia Beach trip. The IMAX in Baltimore tends to not show Hollywood movies, but last year we saw Batman Begins at the IMAX in Norfolk while we were down there and it was wicked cool. This year's vacation will definitely include another trip to the super big screen.
Just have to remember to sit a little further back this time.
