You really, really shouldn't wear that Under Armour shirt you bought yourself to the gym until you're sure you can pull it off. How will you know when that is? When you're selected in the NFL draft, fatass. Now quit using the squat rack as a towel rack.

Three quick tech things.

  1. Bunnie Huang, the man commonly credited with cracking the Xbox 1, has some things to say about the burnable XB360 disc I wrote about last week. Nothing particularly new, but he summarizes the exploit approaches that were being suggested — and offers some expert confirmation that this burnable disc is a track worth pursuing.
  2. If one wanted to — hypothetically — help set up his mom with DirecTV, and he hypothetically had a spare hypothetical satellite receiver, and her house already boasted a DirecTV dish, could he just activate the receiver @ $5/month on his account and plug it in for her? Or is there something that ties the receiver to the dish (the hypothetical one)? Remember kids: cable theft is a real and serious crime, even when there's no cable.
  3. I'm interviewing someone from the Shmoo Group for DCist, so if anyone has anything intelligent they'd like to ask them, let me know.
