washingtonpost.com - SASEBO, Japan -- On a cloudless afternoon in this sleepy port city, an 11-year-old girl drenched in blood and clutching a box cutter walked into the lunchroom at her elementary school. Teachers and students froze, assuming the sixth-grader known for her lighthearted nature had gravely hurt herself -- but she quickly dispelled that impression, witnesses said, by uttering a few chilling words: "This is not my blood."

Easy Come, Easy Go: Antigua Loses To US

Easy Come, Easy Go: Antigua Loses To US
Over Gambling 04/07/2005 05:39 PM
Antigua has been battling the US for some time over the US's ban on online gambling. For many years, Antigua-based online casinos have run into problems with US laws. Two years ago, they went to the WTO claiming that the US ban on online gambling was a violation of a fair trade agreement the two nations had signed. It took the WTO almost exactly one year to point out that Antig ua was probably right. Of course, that wasn't acceptable for politicians who seem to think gambling is pure evil (except, of course, when it contributes to local tax coffers) -- so, while they planned to ignore the ruling completely (we're the US, we don't follow international rulings unless we agree with them), they did file an appeal, just for fun. It turns out that appeal worked, and the WTO has changed its mind, saying that banning gambling is a "moral issue," and therefore not subject to the fair trade agreement the two nations signed. So, sorry for all you online gambling addicts in the US, but you're back to breaking the law again.

Both drives do a fine job of simplifying backup and providing external storage space. The ABSplus is a focused backup device that's easy to use, right out of the box, for backup and restoration, whereas Maxtor's cheaper and quieter drive is better for people who want extra disk space and more backup flexibility.

Wrong answers

Wrong answers 04/17/2004 10:04 AM

I absolutely can't stand people that don't take the time to learn the answer to the question being asked of them.

If people don't know the answer to the question being asked, I'd much rather hear "you know, that's a great question, and while I don't know the answer to that question, I'll find out for you" if it is their responsibility or job to know the answer than an ansewr that is wrong and can be proven to be wrong in less than 5 simple steps.

Wrong answers from 'authorities on a subject' make me not trust those authorities any more, and trust is crucial to an organization that is growing.

Wrong answers make me want to do the work myself.

Wrong answers make me think the authority is so stupid that I won't ask them any other questions.

Wrong answers make me think that the authority thinks I'm too stupid to know that they're full of shit.

Being given blatantly wrong answers while the deliverer speaks with that tone that exudes almighty authority feels like being fed human excrement with only a rusty bent fork to eat it after being left in a dungeon for 40 days and 40 nights.

Giving wrong answers is lazy and is the wrong thing to do.

I hate people that consistently give wrong answers and don't concede defeat when proven wrong... that don't retreat and admit their inadequacy... that don't correct themselves.

I hate people that survive just by covering their ass after consistently giving wrong lazy answers.

I also deplore people that won't ever hold other people accountable.

Answers to Arnaud

Answers to Arnaud 04/06/2005 09:22 PM

Man - today is turning into a day when I can connect many dots together.

I just got to conote capitalism in it's pure state - with fascism. The underlying notion of exploiting workers and resources to create profit - is just sick to me. So when Jason Calacanis accused ME of improperly gaming the system - the only thing I could think of was "cause it's hurting you - you mean?"

Any money going directly into blogger's pockets is NOT going into YOUR pocket. It's as almost as if he EXPECTS to make money - that it's his right.

That just pisses me off to no ends.

Now I am going to answer Arnaudquestions about "why do I like structured blogging" and "whether OPML can be adapted to support Any type on MicroContent".
Well dude- the second question is teh easiest and funnest. We did!

We used our OPML editor - weboutliner to craete an editor for a birthday party activity. Pure situated software.

It's a perfect paradigm. More on that later.

Next - I LOVE PubSub's structured blogging effort cause it's just that - it's an effort. When Seb Paquet first used the phrase - it blew my mind. I knew right away that that was exactly what micro-content needed - was a way to describe the controlled, form based kind of publishing that will move us down the pyrimid and effect 80% of the population within a few years.

Blogging is just the FIRST kind of micro-content and we're watching lots of others get established - right in front of our eyes.

So structured blogging is the start of something I've been hoping for - for a while now - a way to give normal end-users the power to contribute, express themselves and share - little chunks of knowledge - that are heavily "typed".

Kudos to Bob Wyman and the team at PubSub.

Arnaud admits that he doesn't write much about the format of the published micro-content - but only a wholistic approach - which combines open:

- APIs
- Schemas
- data format
- even user interfaces

......will get us to micro-content nirvana.

When I think about this stuff - I see EVDB, RVW supported in blogware, an OpenListings format coming, OpenTopics and Technorati tags - for all, FOAF, ourmedia, Media RSS - everywhere I go - I see this stuff happening.

Just Yahoo buying Flickr, doing Media RSS and saying what they've been saying and THEN having Google come back with THEIR video hosting scenario. Man oh man.

It's all happening.

Directing queries through Internet search engines has become one of the most popular online activities. Statistics released from a new survey conducted by Harris Interactive show that users accessed search engines more often than they used the Net for entertainment, e-commerce or IM/chat. Over half of the respondents (53%) said they used search engines most or every time they went online, and only 4% said they had never used a search engine. Only two activities were more popular than search: sending or receiving e-mail (87%) and general Web surfing (55%). How the respondents used search engines was also interesting. The top reasons were for researching specific topics (88%), getting directions or maps (75%), looking for news (64%) and shopping (51%). Internet search engines also seem to be replacing the telephone for some tasks, with a total of 54% reporting having used a search engine instead of using a phone. Different search engines seem to be better for searching for different topics. For example, MSN and Ask Jeeves users were more apt to search for medical and health information. Ask Jeeves users were also more likely to look for maps and directions. Google users tended to search more for news, perhaps a result of the Google News search page. According to data from Nielsen//NetRatings, Google is by far the most popular search engine in the US, with a 48% market share. Yahoo! is next with 21%, followed by MSN with 12%, AOL with 5% and Ask Jeeves with 2%. Google users are also the most loyal. Thirteen percent of US adults who use Google use it exclusively, compared to 11% for AOL, 10% for MSN, 7% for Yahoo!/Overture and 2.4% for Ask Jeeves.
