19. November, 2003 - National Ammo Day

• Hey. It’s National Ammo Day. Dunno if I’m going to get shopping or not, but I’ll see what I can do. [endwar]
• Massachusetts Supreme Court Ruling allows gays to marry, and the legislature and governor have 180 days to get procedures in place for same-sex couples to get marriage licenses (or a suitable equivalent). The decision redefines marriage in Massachusetts to mean the voluntary union of two persons as spouses, to the exclusion of all others. [press-patch]
• Says here women are Blind to Mr. Right. I expect it goes both ways, and that’s probably about all I should say on the matter. But yesterday in the car found me listening to Pictures of Lily, which says something or other. [press-patch]
• Speaking of which, did you know there are Porn Sites Hiding Behind [fake] Blogs? They’ve been showing up in my referrers for a while. Heck, I just filter ’em out the the other referer-spammers. Unless they’ve got good porn, but none seem to have had yet. [scripting]
• Tougher Seat Belt Laws Save Lives, Study Finds, but they also encourage the growth of the nanny-state. Me, I wear my seat-belt, but I really don’t like being required to. And the way I figure it, a little natural selection wouldn’t hurt humanity…
• In Battle for the Booze, Modern Drunkard takes on sobriety checkpoints. In bars! That just ain’t right! [fark!]
• FullDisclosure: SSL Filtering says that SSL is now vulnerable to an off-the-shelf man-in-the-middle attack. Don’t let that little lock in the corner of your browser make you feel secure anymore, because not only was the vulnerability to a MIM attack discovered over a year ago, and discussed over seven years ago, with the advent of a pre-packaged application to take advantage of this weakness in SSL, it’s just way too easy for someone to snoop your supposedly “secure” communications.

• In the continuing noise probably only one or two of us care about: Case re-opened–How the Orwellian White House Continues to Keep the Saddam-9/11 Connection Alive, Even After Bush Debunked the Lie. They Are the Masters of “1984” Double Speak. from Jim and Case Open - Why is the press avoiding the Weekly Standard’s intelligence scoop? You can bet the farm that if a mainstream publication had gotten the Feith memo first, it would have used it immediately. But then Slate is well-known for being a neo-con tool, as is John Kerry. There are more references at Osama’s Peace with Saddam and Independent Confirmation from the IIS, the first of which cites press releases from 1998, and the second which cites information found in Iraqi Intelligence Services headquarters by journalists Mitch Potter and Inigo Gilmore in April 2003.
