Techdirt: Microsoft Brags That Vista Will Be A Burden To European Companies

It’s amazing how a company can make so many stupid moves and folks still bow and scrape to them.  Microsloth is now saying that the new Vista will require 55k new support jobs in the EU and this is supposed to be good news?

Idiots!  Use FOSS and tell them where to stick their bug ridden virus sucking closed software!  And laugh at them all the way to the bank…

Technorati working – kinda, maybe, somewhat

By , September 15, 2006 10:43 am

But not right.  Showing 4 posts with listings of the word Technorati and there are now 21 if I am counting correctly.  So looks to me like the great and wonderful is not either great or wonderful but buggy and not doing what it is susposed to do.    Maybe once in the top 100K list indexing is better but it should be the same for all.

Cat’s Calcis blog is not listed at all and it is set up just like the others we have that are.   Me thinks that there are lots of bugs in their system as of yet…

Towing Operator Frazier Arrested On New Charge
posted September 14, 2006

A Hooker Road towing operator who was charged with impounding abandoned cars without the owner’s permission has been arrested again.

Inspector Glenn Lemley said a new count has been filed against Buddy V. Frazier Sr., owner of Absolute Towing, who already faced seven felony counts.

Frazier earlier made a $70,000 bond. He was arrested again on Wednesday.

Inspector Lemley said the latest incident happened Sept. 4 when Absolute Towing picked up a vehicle belonging to Freddie Martin of 1605 Milne St. at 6:30 a.m.

The officer said the vehicle was legally parked on a city street in front of a residence at 414 N. Willow.

He said Mr. Martin was later contacted and told he would have to pay several hundred dollars to retrieve his vehicle.

Inspector Lemley said the Martin vehicle was located at Absolute Towing on Wednesday and was being returned to the owner.

The new charge is theft over $1,000.

Criminal Court Judge Rebecca Stern signed the warrant.

Police said Frazier would impound as many as 20 vehicles a day he found along the roadway and would take them to be crushed for scrap metal.

Officers said they also found 20 engines that had been stripped from vehicles at his business.

Frazier already faced three counts of theft over $1,000, three counts of storing or towing a vehicle without express written authorization and one count of hindering a secured creditor.

Now this guy is a, I was gonna say idiot but that is not quite a strong enough word so maybe evil brainless idiot.  Totally unreal.  And lives on Hooker Road which if I remember correctly is where the tow truck manufacturer Hooker Haulers is.  Guess maybe hauling cars is in his blood.  Wonder what he will be haulin in prison? 😉

Very good reuse of old rail cars.  Would like to see more pictures of the process as they modify them into studio and work space.

Boing Boing: Princeton researchers show how to steal an election with Diebold machines

If you have any doubts about this being possible just go and watch the video .  They claim it takes about a minute to infect a machine.
So how many stolen elections are due to Dieblod? Can we sue them for the last 6 years of crooks and liers in office and massive loss of human life that this has caused? Sounds like a good class action suit to me…
