Colin Campbell explains Ovechkin suspension.
So I guess the NHL has fast and hard rules for suspensions after all.
The hit has to result in an injury. No wait or else Matt Cooke would've been suspended. Of course Downie didn't injure Crosby so no suspension is warranted there.
Something stinks in the NHL's home office.

I was exploring the code behind this blogging software and was amazed at what I used to do on my computer. This thing has trackbacks, comments, ratings and a whole bunch of other neat things that were super popular back in the rise of blogging.
I believe I have forgotten most of it as I haven't really put any of my learned abilities to use in my new job. This is a shame as I used to enjoy working on this and figuring out what made it tick and how to make it better. Now I get stuck calling hotel staff that don't know how to fill out a simple web form.
RIP WJFK
End of an era in American radio,
I forgot I had a blog for the better part of nearly two years. So this is a post to see if this software still works.
The last 16 months have been entirely uneventful. Work, WoW and Comics have filled up my time.
Comments turned off.
After small developers fixed the bugs released by the MoAB people using APE technology, what do the MoAB people do? They go after APE and completely misinform the public, starting with CNet.
First the title, "Flaw found in Apple bug-fix tool," is all kinds of wrong. It implies that it is an Apple product, which we know is not true and is stated properly in the article text.
They then go on to describe the vulnerability. APE installs itself in /Library where its supposed to go. /Library is writable by local admins. So a local admin can replace the APE executable and gain root privileges. Read that again. A local admin can replace the APE binary to gain root access.
A local admin, an effective root user account, can gain root access.
Or they could open up NetInfo Manager and enable the root account and enter in a password of their own choosing and then log into the GUI as root. Or they could open up Terminal and run sudo sh and get a root shell.
This is simple revenge. Rosyna called them trolls and linked to an APE fix for one of their bugs. I think Rosyna may be right of the 9 published bugs, 4 of them are not from Apple provided software.
Wow. Closing in on a month since I last posted, I'm a slacker.
So here's to a more post friendly 2007.
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Condoms 'too big' for Indian men
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.
My life has consisted of World of Warcraft and Work for the past few months. If I could somehow combine the two that'd be pretty cool.
Seriously, what the hell is with the comment spam? I have no readers, don't they realize that?
Fantastic Review exploring the gay undertones of the 80s vampire movie Fright Night.
Australian tech sites are really inferior.
Apple and Microsoft: a tale of two piracy fighters is an article comparing the anti-piracy methods used by Apple and Microsoft. Besides being pointless it gets its basic facts wrong, and compares two drastically different areas of piracy, music and software.
My first issue with the article is that it sites the often quoted figure of there being only 20-25 songs on an iPod purchased through the iTunes Store. The author then lists several other sources of music and implies heavily that they are all illegal and illegitimate. He then mentions Apple has no intention of checking for illegal downloads on iPods, as if there is anyway to compare a legal ripping of your CD to a downloaded file.
However the biggest blunder is this quote: Unlike the case with Apple, the majority of Microsoft software sitting on users' machines is legitimate.
From that sentence you'd imagine that the average Mac is full of pirated software, but what he really means is music not purchased via the iTunes Store.
The last bit is he's comparing the company that allows nearly full control over purchased songs, 5 computers can play back the song, you can burn it to a CD, and you can sync it to any number of iPods to the company that forced the anti-piracy Windows Geniuine Advantage as a security update, who requires activation of their software or else it disables itself and who abandoned their Plays4Sure DRM scheme for a custom one for their own digital media player.
World of Warcraft has now invaded my life. So you next year.
The Zune is a social network music player. Let's see how that works.
Social Zune User 1: Here let me let you listen to this track.
Social Zune User 2: Okay.
SZU 1: Sending it now.
SZU 2: Okay.
SZU 1: Done.
SZU 2: Okay.
*SZU 2 Listens*
SZU 2: Wow what a great song. Let me go buy it right away before Microsoft's user friendly, and industry friendly, DRM limits my right to listen to shared music. Thanks Zune!
SZU 1: Yes. Thanks Zune. I don't know what we did before.
Now the iPod way, or the realistic way.
Social iPod User 1: Listen to this track. *hands ear phones to friend*
*Social iPod User 2 listens*
SiU 2: Can you burn me a copy?
SiU 1: Sure.
