From the No-h4x0ring-All0w3d Dept:
USA Today | Gary Morse gives Security Advice

Simple suggestions on how to make your computers safer.

Or you could get a Mac and not worry so much.

(and I'm really not worried, 'cause I NAT everything. It's doubtful anything is hacking the machines that I have behind private addresses...)




From the Fix-The-Bugs-Then-Add-The-Features Dept:
John Gruber on how Apple should fix the bugs, then add new stuff

Oh, yes, and Apple: if you do have "piles" in OS X, please make sure us lowly scripters can interact with them.

Please.




From the Cool-Tools Dept:
Jon Rentzsch finds Memory Monitor

Haven't tried out this utility, but it's a good idea. I'd love to know how I'm trashing 'cause of VM, for instance.




From the Joss Dept
Aaron Swartz on Joss Whedon

With the end of Buffy and the cancellation of Firefly, I wonder what Joss's next project will be...

Hopefully bringing back Firefly.




From the Star-Trek=Haters Dept
Happy Fun Pundit | Top 10 Things I hate about Star Trek

A great Star Trek bashing Top 10 style list.

I haven't watched much of the Original Star Trek movies, but I was very confused about the whole "different rank, same job" thing.
