It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves
--Thomas Paine

Today's Tao (Chapter 50):

Men flow into life, and ebb into death.

Some are filled with life;
Some are empty with death;
Some hold fast to life, and thereby perish,
For life is an abstraction.

Those who are filled with life
Need not fear tigers and rhinos in the wilds,
Nor wear armour and shields in battle;
The rhinoceros finds no place in them for its horn,
The tiger no place for its claw,
The soldier no place for a weapon,
For death finds no place in them.

Just for a minute, I thought they got it

Phishing
A friend forwarded me the email shown here. Just for a minute, I thought CitiBank was getting it.

The URLs in the email seem go to a .citibank.com address (instead of a .accountonline.com or *.wachovia.com address). Good.

Better would be no actual links, but marketing insists on them. *sigh*.

It is a program to help to keep your identity safe. Good.

The link says you're going to www.virtual33.citibank.com, but you are actually going to info.citicards.com/Apps/blahblahblahblahblah.

Huh? WHY? It's not like www.virtual33.citibank.com is a particularly friendly address.

Idiots. Some people on the Antiphishing working group email list have been criticizing me for publicly chastising these companies, but I'm an Open Source guy. I've called and talked to these people, to no avail. Public humiliation is the only avenue I have left.
