The Dude doesn’t know how many of his readers have read any William Gibson (and if you haven’t, you should), especially his earlier works that made him the de facto founder of the cyberpunk literary movement: Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive.

Looks like some Highwaymen got to T-Mobile. Assuming that the information is legit (and The Dude doesn’t have insider information one way or the other) it appears that at least 500 internal servers were compromised, and have been for some time, giving the miscreants access to internal databases, financial documents, etc. They claim to have…

Good times. 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the song lyrics quoted on the title…

The Dude was aimlessly wandering the backswitches of Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail, when he stumbled upon a few useless pieces of information- did you know that J. Peterman, the catalog company made famous on Seinfeld for the crazy catalog descriptions, is back in business? Big yawn? Okay, here’s the fun fact part: when they reopened,…

It’s May already. The 5th month of the year. Crazy. 2009 is going very quickly indeed. The Dude noticed that May is grillin’ month over on Recipeeps. Mmmmmm…. grillin’.

Another weekend, more Quatloos!!! The Dude knows that Stormtrooper armor is worthless, but doesn’t this seem a little… excessive? 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the song lyrics quoted on the title line without looking it up (ie. cheating). updated with pic and links, so if…
