Sarah Palin Yahoo account hacked

Sarah Palin Yahoo account 2008 - Wikileaks
Come for the lulz, stay for the uncomfortable feeling that perhaps hacking email because you are able to might possibly be worse than using private email accounts for government business. Seriously, though, it takes some kind of stupid to use an email service like Yahoo!/MSN/Gmail for anything other than one-off membership signups. It takes some seriously kind of stupid to conduct government business [allegedly] on one of these account. Sure, the thought of end-running open document and transparency laws has some allure for the politician with something to hide, but security through obscurity never ever pays in the end.
Caveat: It has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Sarah Palin has used private email for public business, but there are some pretty damning allegations that she has. Further, from what I saw, nothing in the b/tards’ dump approaches any kind of smoking gun. Then again, I glanced at this while at work.
Sad news

David Foster Wallace found dead
Green Party activist Peter Camejo dies at 68
To round things up, I overheard someone this weekend say that Hunter S. Thompson has to regret his suicide as the current election cycle was tailor made for him. It is a shame he’s not here now because I think it is finally getting weird enough for me.

Audio Goodness Again
August 31st, 2008
And now it is back. Yay.
Aack. The router is fracked again. I should just add an audio up/down status in the sidebar…
And once again the audio archives for the Millionaire’s Holiday are back on line. Hopefully there will be fewer power-surge-related disk melting incidents from here on out.
Byte Converter

Byte Converter is nice for us lazy folks who cannot be arsed to do these conversions (or close approximations) in our heads. I’ve used this twice now in the past 18 hours so it probably warrants some link-love.
ZOMG. It’s amazing how much ha…

ZOMG. It’s amazing how much happier I am when the nightly builds go off without a hitch.
Audio Archives Down
August 28th, 2008
In an unfortunate power-surge incident, the machine hosting the audio files had its OS borked. The audio files themselves are kosher, fortunately, but the drive hosting the OS now has more bad sectors than Detroit. Bad enough to turn a 40GB drive into a measly 8.5GB of storage. Definitely time to get a new HD. Until then, the music shop is closed…
Java Mathematic Expression Parser
August 27th, 2008
JMEP is exactly what I’ve been beating my head over for the past few weeks. Seriously way better than what I was writing and, from the testing I’ve done, way more robust. If you’ve been looking for an open-source java parser for mathematical expressions, your search is over.
Never was interested in building a parser, I’m way more interested in building a cross-platform GUI fantasy baseball draft manager. Using JMEP cut my own codebase by several dozen classes and simplified the whole stats interface aspect significantly.
