Hair and Chicken Feathers Clean Up Phillipines Fuel Spill
Convicted murderers, rapists and hardened criminals from the maximum security section of New Bilibid Prison, are having their heads shaved as part of a national drive to collect human hair to help sponge up more than 50,000 gallons of fuel leaked off the central coast of the Philippines.
”The prisoners had their hearts touched and they all sent me a message saying there were willing to give their hair as their own small contribution.”
The 15,000 inmates at a maximum security prison in southern Manila, including 1,000 on death row, began donating hair on Tuesday as health officials ordered the evacuation of residents of a fishing village on Guimaras due to health risks.
Prisoners don’t need their hair anyway, right? An interesting resolution to a natural problem. Continue reading

Alien Implants – The NaySayers!
Four hundred years ago, the best legal minds in Western Europe devised a series of tests to determine whether or not accused persons were guilty of certain criminal acts. The charge: witchcraft. The evidence: any anomalous wart, or teat, or sunken spot in the flesh was considered “the devil’s mark,” gotten by the accused when she/he submitted to the foul will of Satan. Satan would then gash the miscreant, marking them as his own. When accused witches were brought in for examination, they were stripped and searched for unusual marks. Sharp pins were run through these welts, and if the examinee exhibited no signs of pain, they were judged guilty. The end result was a short ride to the scaffold for an auto da fe. Continue reading

EFF Files Brief in Support of SIMA Digital VCR
Recently the EFF joined an amicus brief filed in support of Sima in its battle against DRM-vendor Macrovision. In essence, Macrovision is trying to leverage the DMCA into a technology mandate, forcing all digital video products in the future to respond to its analog-era DRM system.
Macrovision’s “Analog Copy Protection” (ACP) technology is intended to degrade the quality of video copies made on analog VCRs. It does this by intentionally adding noise to the vertical blanking interval of analog video signals. This noise confuses the automatic gain control (AGC) circuit used by analog VCRs. In short, Macrovision’s ACP is an exploit against a weakness in analog VCRs. Thanks to Section 1201(k) of the DMCA, VCR makers are now forbidden by law from fixing the weakness, which means that analog VCRs have remained vulnerable to ACP. In other words, Macrovision’s ACP is an antiquated DRM technology that owes its effectiveness in the analog world to a government mandate. Continue reading

Known Domain-Squatter / Forced Download Supplier
Drive-By-Downloads were a phrased coined during the insane times of getting Gator downloaded to your PC everytime you clicked nearly anywhere foreign. Well, at least those days are over, or so I thought. Tonight, I was on a new site, trying out their tools and features, and got to a wrong link, i think they had a typo, so I corrected it to the logical domain (businessblogs.com) and hit enter.
Wow! Next thing you know I’m on a “ibuytraffic.net” parking page which is trying to have me save some .DAT file and asking to protect me from spyware at the same time. Nice try guys. Got it all down. In the images here for all to see. So, who runs this lucrative business? Mr. Javon Lockley and/or David Harrison of Muskegon, Michigan.
