04/27/2004 03:59 PMNewsFactor - Champagne corks must be popping over at the Recording
Industry Association of America, which for the last year has been on a
crusade to stop what it deems to be illegal music swapping on the now
ubiquitous peer-to-peer Internet networks.

Tart cards: illicit ads from London,
chronicled in new book
12/08/2003 02:20 PM
A fine stocking stuffer idea for literate, wired pervs. On sale for
under $20. Warning: do not confuse tart cards with tarot cards. Any
attempt to read your future with tart cards may bring about truly
hazardous results.
"This amusing, enlightening, and beautifully designed book explains
the history and graphic/technical development of tart cards with over
400 examples in color. Tart cards are the means by which providers of
sexual services advertise in London, and they have become as
ubiquitous a symbol of that city as the red telephone boxes where they
are found. The book also contains an eye-opening, comprehensive
glossary of the suggestive and coded language they use. 128 pages,
trade
paperback."

Will the election be compromised by
Technology?
09/01/2004 04:25 AMI am very political and yet I try not to mix politics and
technology, the topics just don't mix. Over the past 6 months or so I
have watched the drama unfold surrounding the Diebold voting machines.
I vote via absentee ballet and I am not worried about the accuracy of
my vote, but I am concerned that the 1000's of machines out their
could be targeted by Hackers and Activist who wish to disrupt and
manipulate such machines. Being they can literally be hijacked in
several seconds I wonder if they machines will be targeted?
Municipalities and States that own these machines need to have the
balls to stand up and say hey we have a broken system lets fix it. As
in all government contracts it's simply boils down to dollars. Local
governments have laid out millions of tax payer dollars to automate
the voting process and most are to scared to admit they have a
problem.
I have a solution. My Grandmother who is 93 years old and my Mother
(age not divulged) have worked in our district to count votes when we
did it the old fashioned way on paper. What is so wrong with paper
when the technology behind diebold voting machines has been proven not
to be secure. Sure you may have a few spoiled ballots because someone
forgot their glasses or did not take the time to read the
instructions. Voting technology is only as good as the programmer that
designed it. But one thing is for sure it does not take a programmer
to design a voting ballot and there is no chance anyone is going to be
able to hack it. [Dan Gillmor]

Kids' craphoundery compromised by

Kids' craphoundery compromised by
commercialism
01/02/2004 05:58 AMFiona Romeo writes about a BBC program about
children and collecting, and the way that the
commercialization of collectibles has changed the experience of
collecting for kids.
Finkel argued that the commercialisation of collecting, through
products like Pokémon cards, has devalued the experience:
"What's really exciting about collecting is looking for things that
you can't find when you want them. All you need to find [mass market
collectibles] is the money. The real thrill is lost."
And, that these products might be branded as 'limited edition' or
'rare' but this is manipulated rather than spontaneous. I noticed this
recently in Forbidden Planet, which has lucky-dip style vending
machines for pocket-money priced toys, and trading cards on the
counter. Reading both the pitches and disclaimers reminded me more of
gambling than collecting.

05/24/2004 06:24 AMObject Management Group™ (OMG™)http://www.omg.org/Founded
in April 1989 by eleven companies, the Object Management Group™
(OMG™) began independent operations as a not-for-profit corporation.
Through the OMG's commitment to developing technically excellent,
commercially viable and vendor independent specifications for the
software industry, the consortium now includes approximately 800
members. The OMG is moving forward in establishing the Model Driven
Architecture ™ as the "Architecture of Choice for a Connected World"
™ through its worldwide standard specifications including CORBA ®,
CORBA/IIOP™, the UML™, XMI™, MOF™, Object Services, Internet
Facilities and Domain Interface specifications. The OMG is
headquartered in Needham, MA, USA with a subsidiary in Japan. The OMG
has international marketing offices in Bahrain, Brazil, Germany, India
and the UK, along with a government representative in Washington,
D.C.
The OMG was formed to create a component-based
software marketplace by accelerating the introduction of standardized
object software. The organization's charter includes the establishment
of industry guidelines and detailed object management specifications
to provide a common framework for application development. Conformance
to these specifications will make it possible to develop a
heterogeneous computing environment across all major hardware
platforms and operating systems. Implementations of OMG specifications
can be found on many operating systems across the world today.
The OMG's series of specifications detail the necessary
standard interfaces for Distributed Object Computing. Its widely
popular Internet protocol IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) is being
used as the infrastructure for hundreds of technology companies. OMG
specifications are used worldwide to develop and deploy distributed
applications for vertical markets, including Manufacturing, Finance,
Telecoms, Electronic Commerce, Real-time systems and Health Care.

Tricks of the Trade
Tricks of the Trade
08/27/2004 01:33 PMThe Morning News has a fun article on "tricks of the trade": documenting little
tricks used in various professions. Great stuff.
This year, for instance, a programmer can always tack the
phrase "and I'm thinking of incorporating some XML functionality"
onto a project summary to explain why he'll need an extra week,
account for a missed deadline, or impress a superior. In this respect,
the gap between software engineers and birthday clowns is almost
negligible.

Patients will occasionally pretend to be unconscious. A surefire way
to find them out is to pick up their hand, hold it above their face,
and let go. If they smack themselves, theyre most likely unconscious;
if not, theyre faking.

Lieberman on trade
Lieberman on trade
01/07/2004 02:40 PMSo I've taped but not yet watched the Democrats' debate yesterday, but
thanks to Jim Garrison for pointing me to this exchange. According to
this Washington Post transcript, Lieberman had this to
say about trade:
I think we've got to reject the extremism of George Bush and the
extremism of Democrats who would put back walls of protectionism. And
what's the extremism of George Bush? He just sits back and lets
foreign countries break the rules of trade, rip off patents,
copyrights, take American jobs, play with the currency.
Now I too am one of those rare free-trade Democrats, and one of those
not so rare critics of the President. But letting "foreign countries"
"rip off patents, copyrights" is not one of things one might criticize
this President for. The USTR has been brutal in forcing nation after
nation into more stringent bilateral agreements with the US to
strengthen the protection of IP.
There is, of course, something that you could criticize the President
for --
farm
subsidies -- though not if you're running for President in Iowa
(General Clark?). Here again, Lieberman was the only one to mention
subsidies. His words: "So yes to subsidies as they are now, and yes to
trade."

RepCheck™
RepCheck™
06/09/2004 05:41 AMRepCheck™http://www.repcheck.com/Los Angeles-based RepCheck™ is the most comprehensive source of
information regarding the opportunities and risks of interacting with
any individual…..anywhere. Established in February 2000 RepCheck
employs an interactive and searchable database of reputation files -
RepReports™ - which allows the public to post and view information
regarding the personal reputations of themselves and others. Those
postings are then transformed, via a rating scheme that weighs the
credibility of the source, into a numeric indicator of overall
reputation - RepScore™.
The system, initially conceived
out of the founder's frustration at not being able to quickly access
information regarding the reputations of individuals in his business
and personal life, features a patented technology designed to mimic
the actual process that most people go through in the formation of
opinions and value judgments. Opinions of those on your "Trustee List"
- those people whose opinions are most meaningful to you - are more
heavily weighted in the final RepScore calculation. Additionally,
RepScore factors in all other scorers' credibility, based on their
RepScore and their history of postings to the RepReports of other
individuals.
