  • Apparently there is a bill being presented that would give President Barack Obama, or any current president I suppose, the power to shut down the internet by shutting down a few private networks in a cyber-related emergency. A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a “kill…

  • Everyone remembers Clippy, right? The old friend of Word ’95 days. When spell-check came with irrelevant chatter and obnoxiously intrusive and cumbersome software? Well fear not! He’s made a return in an especially delightful article on Cracked.com. Check it. It gave me a good laugh.

  • (Edit: Their widget isn’t working in a post form. Please go to the site & check it out. It’s worth your time.) A friend of mine named Alexa posted this and I found it highly informative & at the same time irritating. It’s a small snippet on the going-ons of the largest ISP providers and…

  • So we happen to have a ghost server in our office, ver. 7.5 to be exact. Now this was the old version I used back when I worked at DTC, but back then the system didn’t have any issues for us. There was one guy who would make all of the boot discs and CDs…
