Finally, we also investigated the structural properties of malware distribution sites. Some malware distribution sites had as many as 21,000 regular web sites pointing to them. We also found that the majority of malware was hosted on web servers located in China. Interestingly, Chinese malware distribution sites are mostly pointed to by Chinese web servers. [...]

Probably the last thing Harry Reid needs right now is for Barack Obama to keep telling Americans not to go to Las Vegas.  He made a comment this week where he says something like, “during these difficult times, blah, blah, blah, we need to tighten our belts, blah, blah, blah, and if we need to [...]

I really used to like Thomas Friedman.  I thought The World is Flat was one of the best non-fiction books of the last decade.  However, like most people who have become zealously converted to the cult of envirostatism, he has completely lost touch with reason and reality.  In his Sunday column today, “Who’s Sleeping Now,” [...]

The thing I hate about Russians is how quickly they jump to conclusions.  For example, last week, an unexplicable explosion caused a train wreck in Russia.  Despite the fact that a lot of things cause explosions, Russian reporters quickly rushed to the following conclusion: The worst terrorist attack to hit the Russian heartland in five [...]

“Coming down to it, I believe our fundamental disagreement to be this: that I trust disinterested and probably more incompetent government who have no profit motive more than I trust private corporations and conglomerates.” -Chuckles I can respect Chuckles’ ability to distill what is probably the essence behind most of the current health care debate.

If I had to pick someone who tends to be more liberal than myself that I tend to agree with more than most other liberals, it would have to be Thomas Friedman.  In his column this week, he included the following quote from Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki: “The most dangerous thing that would threaten others [...]
