Older Browsers Blocked By PayPal
via ha.ckers.org web application security lab by RSnake on April 30, 2008
This news is coming in a little late but I thought it was worth talking about. PayPal apparently is going to start blocking older browsers that it deems as a security risk to it’s own users. Pretty funny in a way - consumers can’t protect themselves so PayPal is having to tell them to upgrade to something that doesn’t come from the Paleozoic era.There’s an upside to doing this and a few...

Well, it’s now officially here. The summer movie season of 2008 is about to launch tonight with the official release of Iron Man.

via Danger Room by Noah Shachtman on May 01, 2008
Panama has no military forces, strictly speaking. So, why, you might ask, is the Pentagon insisting on giving the Central American country cash to train its "troops?"Funny, Congress was wondering the exact same thing. In an April 23 missive to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Inside the Pentagon reports, House Armed Services Committee Chairman IkeSkelton and the panel’s ranking Republican,...

Guest post: What life’s really like for a stay-at-home dad
via Brazen Careerist by Penelope Trunk by Penelope Trunk on April 29, 2008
I have never let anyone guest post anonymously on this blog before, but today is an exception, and you’ll see why if you keep reading.Every time I write about stay-at-home dads, tons of them write to me. They always want me to tell their story. The only emails I get that say “contact me if you want to interview me about my life” are from stay-at-home dads.Not much ever comes of this, but...

They added slogans such as "and smell the roses" and "means that you aren't moving" to 50 stop signs.Now, according to Chicago Tribune, Oak Lawn will have to remove the signs after the Illinois Department of Transportation determined they...

Return to the Unporny Valley
via The Reverse Cowgirl by The Reverse Cowgirl on May 01, 2008
This week's episode of "30 Rock" featured a storyline in which Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) attempts to create the XXX holy grail of 21st century pop-culture artifacts: a porn video game--because he wants to leave a legacy of import behind for his children. Kotaku has the clip in which Frank explains why it can't be done and teaches Tracy about the Uncanny Valley. Which reminded me of the...
