A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?


In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

 
I say we fight back.  Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

As explained at BoingBoing:

Shmoo Group exploit: 0wn any domain, no defense exists


Pablos sez, "Shmoocon ended
today. And just to prove The Shmoo Group wasn't sitting on their asses
for the entire time while planning the con - A new exploit was demo'd
by EricJ that left all jaws our on the floor. Want to own ANY domain?
Want a trusted SSL cert for it? Check it out here.
We 0wnz0rd PayPal, but left the rest for you. We have no idea how to
fix this and neither do the browser developers. Official advisory here. Phishing attacks of doom coming soon."

(Thanks, Pablos!)


No permanent fix has been devised as yet, but the latest on how to disable the loophole is at Tech.Life.Blogged
