Well, I don't know her, but I don't think so. Listen to her when she reads the news on the .Net shows, I think it's pretty clear that she doesn't know what she's saying, she's just reading the words.

I've never been much of a web reader, I only regularly read a few sites like:
CodeProject[^]
Homestar Runner[^]
ISCA BBS[^]
Alyson Hannigan Corner[^]
Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive[^]
As for blogs, I started with Raymond Chen's[^] (which was great at the beginning, he talked about historical stuff in OS development; still good now because he doesn't talk about much .NET stuff, which is refreshing), then gradually found other MS bloggers that were interesting. Here's an OPML file of my current reading list (not all the blogs are very active).
Other good blogs are Eric Lippert[^], Larry Osterman[^], and Sara Ford[^]
(Before you ask, Erica does not have a blog AFAIK; Robert Hess posts occasionally on the .NET Show blog[^] though.)
[edit]
BTW, I use SharpReader as my aggregator. I went through a couple of others but didn't like them, finally I tried SharpReader and it fits my needs well enough. I'm too lazy to keep going and find That One Perfect Aggregator.

Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so Brain, but if we shaved our heads, we'd look like weasels!

Over on Larry Osterman's[^] log (he's on the Exchange team) we were discussing which version of the CRT to use[^].
There are two schools of thought. The MS view is that they trust installers to never mess up someone's system so the exact correct versions of all DLLs will always be present; as a result you can always link to the CRT DLLs and get several benefits, most notably less physical memory usage due to the DLL being shared among processes, and fewer heaps in each process.
My view, as a programmer in the real world (not MS's world where they control everything) is that people's systems (especially 9x) get munged by bad installers or other accidents. If someone has a wrong/missing/corrupted DLL, it can cause my app to crash or misbehave, and guess who gets blamed for that? Me, not MS. Guess who loses sales because of it? Me, not MS.
Therefore I always use the static LIB version of the CRT in every one of my apps. If I lose any sales due to bugs, I can at least say it was my fault, not the system's.

I was listening to the news on the radio whilst driving home tonight, and the girl reading the news did a list of "this day in history" items. One of them was in 1992, the Rodney King riots started.
I almost drove off the road when I realized that was twelve years ago.  I can remember it like yesterday, I was on campus at UCLA working in one of the computer labs when I first heard about the riots starting. The following days were pretty bad and the air smelled like smoke due to all the idiots setting stuff on fire.

Note: I've copied this post here from its original location[^] to give it (hopefully) better visibility.
Buffer overruns are possible because on x86 there are not separate categories of "readable memory" and "executable memory". If a block of memory has one permission, it has the other. They also work because a thread's local variables and return addresses are in the same area of memory, its stack.
Here's a typical stack with the default size of 1 MB, after one function call. Note how the stack grows down from high addresses towards low addresses.
0 100000
+--------------------------+
| <unused>|<vars>|<retaddr>|
| | | 40AE |
+--------------------------+
^ top of stackThat indicates that when the current function returns, control resumes at address 0x40AE. Now after a few calls, the stack will have a few layers of that:
0 100000
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| <unused>|<vars>|<retaddr>|<vars>|<retaddr>|<vars>|<retaddr>|
| | | 4E33 | | 4AD1 | | 4F10 |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
^ top of stackNow lets say the current function declares a char[10] array as its only local variable. That array is denoted by asterisks:
0
+-------------------------------
| <unused>|<vars> |<retaddr>| ...
| |**********| 4E33 |
+-------------------------------
^ top of stackIf the function blindly strcpy's an input string (from say, the network) into that buffer, without checking the length of the source string, it will write past the end of the array, over the return address. The copied bytes are denoted by $:
0
+-------------------------------
| <unused>|<vars> |<retaddr>|
| |$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ...
+-------------------------------
^ top of stackAll a hacker has to do is figure out what to use as the $$$ to change the overwritten return address to be an address within the $$$ itself. Since the $$$ is the malicious data, the hacker has control over it.
0 7AE1 100000
+------------------------------+---------------------+
| <unused>|<vars> |<retaddr>| |
| |$$$$$$$$$$| 7AE1 $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ... |
+----------------------------------------------------+
^ top of stackWhen the function returns, the thread reads its return value, which has been changed to point to within the $$$. Now the hacker has made the thread execute memory that he planted in the stack. If that thread happens to be running in a powerful account (like Admin or Local Service), bingo, your box is 0wn3d.

Whoa boy. The June 2003 FHM (US edition of course) has some pics of the Buffy girls. New pics of Alyson. *drool* All I can say is DAY-UM.
Check out some scans here[^] (not safe for work)
[edit]The pics are gone now  The site had to take down a lot of its galleries due to its popularity and the resulting bandwidth costs.[/edit]

I only studied for one year in college, and that was... oh man, now I feel old... 1993-94, so I've probably forgotten a lot by now. 
I was talking with a friend of mine a few weeks ago about going to China (he was born in the US, but his parents are from Taiwan and he'd like to go to China) but the Gulf War II and SARS have put a damper on that for the time being.

MSN's[^] tagline on their pages is "More Useful Everyday." Um, can the slogan writer please get his spelling right?
It should be "More Useful Every Day."

Hah! That is nothing. Have you seen the MSN8 adverts? I feel dirty just being on the same page as one of those ads. I mean, the guy is wearing a butterfly suit with dandelion feelers on his head... 
If I was him I would get back in my cocoon and hope to god I came out as a caterpillar again.
