PayPal/Verisign Security Key

I got one of those PayPal security keys a little while ago.
I got one after hearing about it from the security now podcast. Now I use it for PayPal and Verisign's OpenID.
Since it is based off of cryptographic algorithms. I decided to start using it for random numbers whenever I needed one. I do this all the time. Flip a coin? I don't carry c...

What is Fasting ... Really...
PoeticIntensity
Ya know... I didn't quite know what to write about today, but I knew I had to write about something. Some days, I've just got to write.
Fasting. Fasting, to me, is simply going without food or water for a duration of time with the purpose of showing God I am willing to sacrifice something which is very important to me, having h...

Thoughts on the RIAA
PoeticIntensity
Those who know me will find this post a bit ... unlike my typical post.
This is mainly because I have a pretty passionate stance on DRM, OSS, Microsoft, Linux, and religion. (I hate DRM, love OSS, hate Microsoft, love Linux, and I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
Anyway... I have a few words to say ab...

Gentoo udev NIC Bug

Something I thought I'd write down, because it took me forever to figure out, has been a bug for at least a year, and nobody seems to be doing anything about it.
The bug is quite simple really, and once you know where to look for it, it pretty much stops being a bug due to an extremely easy work-around.
The bug is concerning network cards plugg...

I could write about a synopsis of 1st Nephi, which I finished last night, or I could just dive into 2nd Nephi. I think I'll do the latter.
Verse 6 could be quite the controversial verse, for people who didn't like the Spanish conquest, or Christopher Colombus. Yet, the verse still is what the ...

I told you I love you,
And yet you broke my heart.
you had to run around,
Behind my back!
Now I'm sitting here,
I can't think of anyonelse!
But the one thing rings in my head,
Why was I never good enough for you?
How come I'm alone?
I wanted to give you my heart,
But you just can't be true,
Can you?
Now your running around,
