Been in a bit of a nostalgic mode of late. I have access to my old Until Uru server and plan on filming some of the strangeness that used to go on there. Should be fun.
Bill Gates wants YOU to make a next gen condom.
Coming soon: The SexBox 360
Now, with a $100,00 grant offered through the Grand Challenges in Global Health Program, the Gateses are hoping to find “anyone — students, scientists or entrepreneurs” to reinvent the condom. It’s your time to shine, Ballmer.
Hopefully these new condoms won’t have the same security holes Microsoft is well known for. 
When a dongle joke goes too far.
Some people don’t have a sense of humor anymore.
At least it appears that’s what happened with PyCon this week when a sexual joke led to some very public firings, a virulent debate about women in technology, another virulent debate about public shaming, and now, a DDOS attack.
In the short of it, someone made a sexual joke about dongles and forking repos. She took offense to it and publicly shamed them. If it were me I probably would have just said “Giggity”. Of course she has the right to feel the way she does about it.
Of course quite a few companies today that have a policy that makes it easy for people to get fired for saying something off duty that a customer doesn’t like. My company is one of those. I can understand if someone got fired for being say…. racist? Murdering someone maybe? But a fucking dongle joke? Who hasn’t made one of those?

Steam opens up early access program
This looks kinda cool.
We like to think of games and game development as services that grow and evolve with the involvement of customers and the community. There have been a number of prominent titles that have embraced this model of development recently and found a lot of value in the process. We like to support and encourage developers who want to ship early, involve customers, and build lasting relationships that help everyone make better games.
Kerbal Space Program is one of the games on the list. 
Arizona has a new target to fuck with.

New legislation in Arizona is stirring up controversy over the rights of transgender people in that state, with debate over a bill that would require people to use the public restroom affiliated with their birth gender. The proposed law would also make it a misdemeanor for a person to use a public shower, bath, dressing room or locker room associated with a gender other than what’s on his or her birth certificate.
Why not just make extra bathrooms?
But seriously. WTF, What about hermaphrodites? What bathroom will they get to use?
The boy who cried Bingo.
Some people just don’t know what free speech is. An 18 year old in Kentucky thought it was ok to shout Bingo at any given time without actually having gotten a bingo. So he’s in a little hot water over it.
“He seemed to think he could say whatever he wanted because it was a public building. I tried to explain that that’s not the case,” the officer said. “Just because it’s a public building doesn’t give you the right to run into a theater and yell ‘fire.’ You can’t go into a ballpark and yell ‘out,’ because people could stop the game.”
Rape Nuts
I don’t know if anyone here heard about the rape case in Steubenville, where two teenage guys and a few other unknown guys (all calling themselves “The Rape Crew”) tricked a 16 year old girl into thinking one of them was interested in her, then drugged her drink and drug her around town to any hangout they could stop at so that them and their friends could rape her. Then dumped her on her parents lawn and pissed all over her. Well, the two boys are facing a year in juvi, and having to register as sex offenders. The media seems to be playing off the boys as being the real victims. “This will ruin their lives” etc etc. No one seems to be talking about the rape victim. Well, they are but not the same way.
Jesus Christ these fuckers are sick. I like how they try to mask the rape with “Oh well she was under the influence”. I’m sorry, some Smirnoff and a little vodka isn’t going to do shit for you (especially when it’s only from a drive from one party to another), it might make you feel a buzz but otherwise it’s not going to knock you out. She had to be slipped something. And yes I know she was underage drinking, but that doesn’t excuse what these fuckwits did. Oh, and also she’s a whore because she let this happen to her.
Here’s what I don’t understand though: Where did these kids get the idea of raping for fun in their heads? This can’t be something that comes naturally. I don’t remember hearing cases like these when I was growing up.
Another pisser is the death threats being made against her. Two have already been caught by police, and from what I understand they were both girls. I hate to be the one to say this but, maybe they need to be raped too?
God damn we’ve become fucked up in the head.
Oh well, at least this guy overcame the rape he committed. Poor guy.
