Bush offers Democrats Conciliatory Words! Did They Bite Into It?

"You know, I welcome debate in a time of war and I hope you know that," Bush said to about 200 lawmakers at a Virginia resort.

   From the report by the Associate Press, it sounds more as if Bush was playing kiss-up while some of the Democrats were kissing ass!

He said disagreeing with him over the war — as many in the room do — does not mean "you don't share the same sense of patriotism I do."

"You can get that thought out of your mind, if that's what some believe," the president said. "These are tough times, but there's no doubt in my mind that you want to secure this homeland as much as I do."

Bush's conciliatory words were similar to some of his previous statements. But the applause and acknowledgment that followed them offered some indication that this audience was happy to hear them so directly and in person.

"We were honored by your presence. We're also encouraged by your remarks," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said after Democrats met privately with the president. "I believe we have an opportunity to work together."

    I hope that the Democrats are just being nice and not falling for this shit. It is to early for us to have to start working on taking them out of office again, so soon.

                            IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!

Windows Vista Gets Bugged

   Leave it to Microsoft to put out a new OS (operating system) that gets bugged within it's first week of release!

   I am speaking of the new Vista system that has been touted as having much better security features. Much better than what,Windows 95?

   The vulnerability is in Windows Vista’s speech recognition feature, which most users generally do not enable. The attackers’ commands are limited to the rights of the logged on user so there is no concern with administrative level commands.

    You have to have a microphone and a set of speakers connected to your system in order for the attack to be successful and , as stated, speech recognition must be enabled.

   The technical explanation is one that you should read if you are using Vista. It is easy to understand, it just sound nutty when you read it.

   For the outline of the problem and what you can do about it, you can go here.
