Trying to saddle a software product with DRM/copy protection that is just going to piss off your customers doesn’t make you rich. Intuit learned this lesson the hard way. When Intuit launched the copy-control program, it predicted that revenue would increase, since customers who had previously purchased only one TurboTax program would have to buy …
Yes, United managed another league tie this past weekend – but this time they scored a goal! Two observations: Ryan Nelsen is the man, both in defense and in midfield. Too bad he got red carded in this game. Nice to see a crowd of 21,00 at RFK to support DC through its worst league …
The best quote of the article came from Ivan Gazidis that makes it sound like its no big deal that the biggest club (moneywise) in the world wants an MLS player. “There’s discussions about our top players every day, as clubs around the world express interest on a regular basis.”

The flaw, in Passport’s password recovery mechanism, could have allowed an attacker to change the password on any account to which the username is known. The simplicity of the attack method and the high value of the data frequently stored in Passport accounts–names, addresses, birthdates and credit card numbers–combined to make the vulnerability critical. …
Some of you fine readers may wonder why I’m rolling my own instead of going with a pre-exisiting package. It’s mostly a learning excercise and so I can practice new programming techniques (thanks php patterns) behind the scenes. This site is a convenient excuse and by-product Anyway, specifically I’ve finally gotten the administration scripts I …
Galactic Civilizations is a better MOO than MOO3, that’s my first impression having played the game for about a week now. I haven’t played MOO3 and based on the overall bad reviews of it I will stay away. StarDock’s game definitely has that “just one more turn” appeal that hypothecially may keep you up until …
