Bleh -- 10:09 pm CST, Update by The Master

Played some GLQuake (yes, Quake 1) tonight. Fired up the Vigil game and blew up a ton of monsters. Quake 1 can be amazingly fun, even if it looks dated by today's games. Now I may just have to play through the original Quake again, just for the giggles.

Oh, and it runs like a bat out of **** too :-)

The Anti-MS Crusade Continues -- 12:37 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

This CNet article details plans by members of Congress and several Microsoft competitors to delay the release of WindowsXP. I fear the MS is going to start looking like a martyr against the big, bad government, much like organized crime leaders were regarded as heros while on trial.

DMCA Run Amok -- 10:50 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Whilst perusing the updated PC Magazine website, I came across this new commentary by John Dvorak about Dmitry Sklyarov who was arrested and charged with violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Even though Adobe caved in and asked that Sklyarov be released, I hope that this can lead to the law being thrown out for being unconstitutional. Maybe I'm dreaming.

A Modest Anti-Virus Proposal -- 8:11 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

David Coursey has a modest proposal for dealing with virus writers, like the one who wrote the SirCam worm. I feel that his proposal is the most cost-effective, practical, and downright fun way to deal with them. I would just like to add that his "solutions" should be carried out in slow-motion. Thanks Slashdot.
