Joe's Random Ramblings

The NY Times reports that Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska has been indicted on federal corruption charges.
He is infamous for pushing through the "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska.
Among techies, he became the laughingstock when he compared the Internet to a "series of tubes."
All I can say is good riddance...

As every news organization currently reports, we had a moderate earthquake here in Southern California today.
Only a 5.4 magnitude, so no biggie...

If there ever was a need to show that spammers are the lowest life form on Earth, Eddie Davidson, a convicted spammer who recently escaped from prison, delivered the proof.
This disgusting low-life apparently killed his wife, 3-year-old daughter and then himself.
What a disgusting coward, taking innocent lives.

There has been a lot of news recently about a network admin in San Francisco who went to prison for not handing the passwords to the city's network routers.
Infoworld has a really good article about the case, and all the "missteps and misunderstandings" in the case.
It looks to be more of an overprotective netadmin than somebody out for mischief.
The article is definitely worth a read.

As Ars Technica reports, Louisiana's governor has signed an anti-evolution law.
I am speechless at the stupidity of these lawmakers.
I hope that the people of the state of Louisiana vote these morons out of office.
It is high time that intelligent people are voted into office, not some retards who apparently flunked out of high school.
Geez, in the 21st century people should have picked up some clue...
Oh, and businesses in Louisiana should be prepared to move out of the state, since a lot of people will refuse to do business with such a backwater state.
