Unfortunately for the human race, the dumbest phisher on earth is smarter than many of the dumbest users on earth...

A bit snarky, I suppose, but the article later mentions that For Blood and Empire will be coming out in March, which makes me happy. I just hope RCA knows enough not to put DRM malware on the CD.
On the subject of DRM malware, why on earth is it Windows' (and possibly Mac OS') default stance that anything put in a CD drive should be treated as autorunnable data? I'd love to be able to tick the box for "Treat all media in this drive as audio-only, and if there appears to be a data track, use a dialog box to ask whether I want to open the data track."

Greasemonkey scripts I love
Aug. 11th, 2005 04:12 pmI use the Firefox web browser and Greasemonkey, an extension that lets you tack on some useful additions.
My favorites:
NewsLinksToGoogleGroups converts news:// URLs so they point to Google Groups. (How many of us still have a standalone USENET News client?)
Password Composer is sheer brilliance. You only have to memorize one password for all the web sites you log into, only you can use a different password for each one. How? This script jumbles your password against the site's domain name in a way that is a bit tricky to unjumble. It's not military-grade password security, but if you insist on remembering just one simple password, you may as well use this to improve your security.
SkypeLinkify turns phone numbers into Skype links so you can phone someone with a simple click, for about 2.5c/min. Too cool. I'm already a Skype user, but if I weren't, this convenience might just convince me to start.
