More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.
And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.
Now, go buy some books.

And finally, here are a few books I might recommend for your edification and amazement.
What's the Matter with Kansas?
I've decided that I have to learn how to launch DOS attacks on specific servers. The servers I want to target are the ones which send me emails that begin something like this one:
Dear valued PayPal member, It has come to our attention that your billing informations are out of order .What immediately makes me suspicious that this does not come from PayPal is the the pluralization of "information". English is such a hard language for people in places like China to fully come to grips with. Almost every phisher post I've ever gotten that originated somewhere in China has come replete with grammatical errors. Now, to be sure, it is probably true that most Americans wouldn't understand that "information" is a collective noun where the plural form is the same as the singular form, but some of us do, and that should be enough.
Anyhow, these blatant attempts at identity theft really piss me off. What I want to do is swamp the server that is supposed to receive the information with massive DOS attacks. If nothing else, it will inconvenience the sons-of-bitches who are doing their level best to transfer wealth from the Western Hemispere to the Eastern Hemisphere. Of course, until I do get up to spead in the propogation of DOS attacks, maybe what I should do is post the url to which one is supposed to send all one's personal information. Then, if anybody who does know how to flood a server with crap should happen to want to hit them, more power to you.
So, without further ado, here is today's phisher address:
