RPC/DCOM et al…

I was planning on writing up a big rant on my feelings about having to sit through all the turmoil of the last week and a half watching people at the company I work for scramble like a line of ants that was just disturbed by someone’s foot. Cringely beat me to it.

Apple to rip off Microsoft?

Funny stuff on AtAT this morning: …Apple fully intends to go for the throat in 2004 with a Mac OS X upgrade that promises full compatibility with all major Windows viruses, configurable kernel panics (both frequency and appearance– set ‘em for thrice daily and make ‘em white-text-on-blue for the version most compatible in a Windows environment), and other features that comply 100% with the most current Secret IT Department Technology Guidelines for Job Security. Come next year, Macs in “Enterprise Mode” will boast at least 80% of the unreliability and user-unfriendliness that’s made Microsoft the darling of the enterprise IT world. Apple’s shooting for upwards of 90%, but even we’re a little skeptical that they could pull that off; Microsoft is the master, after all… Entire posting here.

If I only had the time…

I love this stuff. I love this guy. I love this idea. Man if I only had the time and backing, I could and would develop this myself. Give it a read… what do you think? Part 1. Part 2.

DHS run by monkeys?

So our exciting new Department of Homeland “Security” does this, then decides this, and then says this. Who’s running that place? (Update: AtAT had a writeup too.)
