Security by definition

So lets say you’ve written your mindtwisting, brilliant trojan virus… how’d you name the file? maybe install.exe? Probably not… as the user would be required to enter his admin password under Microsoft Windows Vista… Just use any other name and there will be no annyoing dialog to confirm extended admin rights. Just brain dead.
Read on the gaybar.

But hey, it fits well with the convenient “desktop.ini”, just have a look here, “Der Explorer lügt noch mehr” (The explorer lies even more).

Apple delays Leopard release until October

Damn, i was looking forward to install Leopard in my vacancy… But it seems it’s not gonna happen:

“We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is,” Apple said. “However, iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price — we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned.”

Mint 2.x advanced preferences

I use Mint for two domains. One 1.x version and a newer 2.x version. I wasn’t pleased, that the option to keep the databasesize under a certain limit was removed from preferences in version 2.x. Also, the possibility of limiting individual visitor statistics was gone…

Today i stumbled upon admartinator. Obviously a mac user, he is also minted…

If you click on your mint preferences, append a &advanced to the url and the two options are back in the game.
