(This is a somewhat old story.) I left a comment on Bruce Schneier’s cryptogram blog on his article about how Microsoft Windows Update was found to be updating even in the event where the user had turned off automatic updates. The article is located here.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes reported the secret updates on ZDNet. Nate Clinton, PM for Windows Update, responds on his blog.

A navy shower is a method of showering that reduces the amount of water you use.

1) Get wet.
2) Turn off the water.
3) While the water is off, lather up with soap.
4) Rinse off.

You get just as clean, and you help the environment and save money on your utility bills.

I was having an argument with someone on the Internet, and they asked me, as an atheist, what exactly do I believe in? (It is a common misconception that atheists have no beliefs, or no moral beliefs, at all.)

My sixth video on atheism. This one took about a month of my spare time due to the large amount of research and web searching I did for it. I respond to VenomFangX’s video “The Age of the Earth” in which he uses some bogus arguments to prove that the age of the planet is 6,000 years.

This is the first part of three. In the first two parts, I debunk VenomFangX’s arguments. In the third part, I explain how we know that the earth is 4.55 billion years old.

The transcript and references list will be up sometime in the next few days.
