8:50 AM - Interesting browser stats

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

MS Windows and Linux both seem to have more market share than OSX on this site.  Still quite interesting.

Here's an article about apple market share:

I'm having trouble with these numbers because they are often exclusively based on units sold.  Several systems in my home are older and still used.  My wife's primary desktop was bought in 2002 (i think) and she still has her original iBook.  I'm using a 5 year old dell server and have 2 old suns.  I don't think marketing people even try to guess on old units still in use.

11:35 AM - FBI passwords hacked by contractor?

http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/06/1431256&from=rss

Yeah.. they hired this guy to work on their systems and he uses a DICTIONARY attack against them.  Now I don't think most of my passwords are good, but a dictionary attack?  That means they had passwords like titties or boobs123.  Good job.   Someone over there please fix your password policy.  Expiring passwords isn't enough.. hell it causes you to pick shitty passwords if its too often.  Second, who hired that guy?  There's outside the box and then there's rediculous.  Perhaps the policies where there to stop something like this?

The votes are in.  People hate gays in new york and georgia.  From now on, lets call these states the asshole states.  (also include new jersey and ohio)
