Thanks to everyone that actually read my ramblings, and to those that made the effort to post comments. I’m not going to be posting anymore comments here. My blogging is done. I don’t have anything else to ramble on about anymore. Take care.

Yes, you read correctly. According to Sony’s response to my question posted on their PSP Support Forums, Sony doesn’t feel that WPA2 is any more secure than WPA or WEP since SSL is all that’s really doing the protection.

Their comment was that securing a wireless network is not necessary unless you’re worried about being caught downloading illegal content or other malicious activities. Can anyone believe such fucking crap?

Another woman yanked her baby carrier from the backseat of her Escalade and set it out in the street. Driver’s side. In front of moving traffic. Then leaned back inside to fuck with shit in the vehicle. As I’ve said before: I see this at least once or twice a week, and not from the same woman. People are fucking dumb as shit. Wait. Shit is smarter.

Yep. You read correctly. I’m not stt-tt-tt-uttering. Ok, maybe a little.

So, what’s up with the fucking dumbass naming conventions lately? I thought the Linux world owned the rights to fucking stupid names like Feisty Fawn, Dapper Dickhead, Whorry Hedgehole, and apps like Joomla. (what the fuck is a Joomla anyway? nevermind. Don’t answer that).

Then came Microsoft and their penchant for the fucking stupid long names like “Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Extras Edition” and “System Center Configuration Manager” or even “Internet Explorer”. The competition has names like OSX, Tivoli, OpenView and Firefox. Simple. Brief. Not good enough for the overpaid marketing goons in Redmond.

But wait! If you call before midnight tonight!… you’ll discover that hardware isn’t immune to marketing idiocy at its best. How about Intel’s preferences for naming chips? Tigerton? WTF? Merced? Klimath? Who cares if they’re proper names for places. Why not “Moorehead” or “Brisbane” or “Hiroshima”? Those are places too? Tigerton? Geez.

I have a solution: go back to version numbering. Versions that include the date/period are nice. Simple. Helpful. When did Pentium 4 HT come out? I dunno. When did chip 2007.01.1234 come out? I’d guess sometime in early 2007. For God’s sake, even Apple has enough sense to use a version number with OSX. Hence 10.4. Don’t hold your breath for a version following behind “Windows Vista Home Premium Edition”.

I wonder why we sacrifice so many brave men and women in the middle east when we could simply dress up marketing pukes as soldiers and let them market their services in the Al Anbar or Waziristan provinces. I’m sure the locals would embrace them warmly (and explosively). The world is getting dumber and dumber every day.
