		<title>Compression Software: PeaZip, NanoZip, 7-Zip, WinRAR, WinZip, Tar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you found yourself in the position where you needed to send a large group of files (esp. over e-mail or uploading to a website) and WinZip (for instance) just wouldn&#8217;t compress it enough to make it feasible for transfer?  The only option you&#8217;d have would be to span the files over [...]]]></description>

		<title>New: Microsoftopoly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Be sure to read (and re-read) the new Microsoftopoly page!
&#8220;When it comes right down to it, there’s one main reason that Microsoft is in the position they’re in today — their businessmen.  It certainly isn’t their software, and there’s no way that it’s their executive charm (although Steve Ballmer does seem to have an awkward [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIAA: The Epic Journey of Mockery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this point, even the legal system is starting to realize that the RIAA is just making a mockery of the court systems.  The RIAA continues to launch lawsuits by misapplying copyright laws with unjustifiable, extortionate amounts of money against the P2P offenders.  The first file-sharing conviction ever, which forced a single mother [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuff that in your ballot box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has once again proven that they are ten cents short of a dime, but still manage to throw their money around.  Recall a previous post, Microsoft gets raped by ODF, where ODF was accepted to be used as the default file format by the state agencies of Massachusetts.  Microsoft made a big [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIAA Loony Litigations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I guess the RIAA speaks for no one but themselves when they insist that their artists are being deprived because of illegal file sharing.  What they really mean to say is, &#8220;I won&#8217;t be able to afford my third Ferrari this year because of you guys, so I&#8217;ll sue you for it.&#8221;   [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homeland Security secures open-source</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With all the talk about highly critical Microsoft blunders and botch-ups floating around lately it&#8217;s good to finally read some good news in the technology world.  The Dept. of Homeland Security is providing Stanford University, Coverity, and Symantec with $1.24 million to find bugs in numerous open-source applications. 
In case you weren&#8217;t aware, any [...]]]></description>

		<title>US-CERT in contempt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[US-CERT released their 2005 Cyber Security Bulletin last week, claiming that Windows had 812 reported flaws and Unix/Linux had 2,328.  This might come as a shock to you at first glance &#8230; and it is quite shocking; especially if you read their Technical Cyber Security Alerts page for the past two years (I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft gets raped by ODF</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so maybe they didn&#8217;t get completely raped, but it&#8217;s still funny to see the &#8220;almighty&#8221; Microsoft get stepped on from time to time.  In case you haven&#8217;t heard the story of Peter Quinn, I&#8217;ll give you a rundown.
Quinn was the CIO (Chief Information Officer) for Massachusetts until he recently quit his position.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sony BMG: DRM gone wild</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So if you haven&#8217;t at least heard about the latest record company debacle then you must be living in China or North Korea.  In their feeble attempt to stop piracy, Sony came up with the idea of using the popular &#8220;computer fraud&#8221; method to help protect their empire.  On their latest CDs with [...]]]></description>

		<title>The only software worth downloading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Check out some good software on the Good Software page! (updated)
&#8220;As I always say, there’s only one type of software that is worth actually spending money on … one that requires a subscription (constant updates) to function well; no one should ever pay for any other kind of software. Any software that is worth using [...]]]></description>
