the criminal inclinations of a few Army reservists but in a decision,
approved las year by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to expand
a highly secret operation, which had been focussed on the hunt for Al

06/18/2004 12:29 AMHow Copyright Policy Gets Twisted
How Copyright Policy Gets Twisted
06/26/2004 10:52 AMThe Register's Andrew Orlowski analy
zes the latest, and perhaps most serious, threat from the
copyright cartel. The legislation,
sponsored by senators from both major U.S. political parties (here's
my previous posting about this horrid bill), is aimed
at peer to peer technology but has a much wider application.
As Andrew notes, citing warnings from critics of this legislation, "It
may soon be possible to carry around an AK-47 assault rifle and an
iPod with you down the street - and be arrested for carrying the
iPod."
He asks how this could be happening, given that Orrin Hatch, the key
sponsor, once seemed to be on the side of fair use and other users'
rights. Part of it is money, no doubt.
Andrew aims a well-deserved barb at the technology community for not
taking its case to Congress in a more organized way, and this is also
true. But I think he underestimates two things.
First, the tech industry's leaders have not just stopped fighting
Hollywood and the record companies. They've embraced the
cartel. This spectacular piece of cowardice, driven by a warped sense
of what's in the tech moguls' best business interests, means that
technology innovation must essentially be approved by the cartel or
modified so as not to annoy the copyright industry.
Second, technologists have a remarkably short attention span. They
flit from idea to idea, changing products and business models at the
drop of a hat because they live in an ever-morphing universe where
rapid change is the norm.
The copyright cartel has, if nothing else, a deep and abiding
motivation to maintain control. It is relentless. It has basically one
issue, and pockets deep enough to stay with the fight.
I tend to respect Hollywood and the music companies for their
single-mindedness, even though I have little respect for their
position on this matter. I have growing distaste for the technology
industry, which seems to have few principles of any kind.
And the public interest gets squashed.

Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
04/14/2005 12:47 PMCory Doctorow:
The process for electing a new Pope is amazingly baroque and weird.
Bruce Schneier has posted a long and engrossing security analysis of
how the election works and how its simple and ancient procedures (and
the small number of participants) make it more secure than modern
electronic voting systems:
How hard is this to hack? The first observation is that the system is
entirely manual, making it immune to the sorts of technological
attacks that make modern voting systems so risky. The second
observation is that the small group of voters -- all of whom know each
other -- makes it impossible for an outsider to affect the voting in
any way. The chapel is cleared and locked before voting. No one is
going to dress up as a cardinal and sneak into the Sistine Chapel. In
effect, the voter verification process is about as perfect as you're
ever going to find.
Eavesdropping on the process is certainly possible, although the rules
explicitly state that the chapel is to be checked for recording and
transmission devices "with the help of trustworthy individuals of
proven technical ability." I read that the Vatican is worried about
laser microphones, as there are windows near the chapel's roof.
That leaves us with insider attacks. Can a cardinal influence the
election? Certainly the Scrutineers could potentially modify votes,
but it's difficult. The counting is conducted in public, and there are
multiple people checking every step. It's possible for the first
Scrutineer, if he's good at sleight of hand, to swap one ballot paper
for another before recording it. Or for the third Scrutineer to swap
ballots during the counting process.

Reith Lectures 2003: The Emerging Mind
Reith Lectures 2003: The Emerging Mind
12/17/2003 06:02 PMIn 1922, a young Scottish engineer called John Reith was appointed
General Manager of a fledgling national broadcasting service, known at
the time as the British Broadcasting Company. With little experience
and without any established purpose to guide him, Reith shaped the
growing institution according to his vision of what a public service
broadcaster should be. Reith defined the BBC's role as "to bring the
best of everything to the greatest number of homes". He maintained
that it was the duty of a national broadcaster to make an intellectual
contribution to public life. According to his principles and in
honour of his work, the BBC inaugurated the Reith Lectures in 1948.
Every year a leading figure is invited to deliver a series of public
lectures informed by their particular field of expertise. The purpose
of the lectures is "to advance public understanding and debate about
significant issues of contemporary interest". The first Reith Lectures
were given by Bertrand Russell and notable contributors have consented
to participate ever since. Former Reith Lecturers include Robert
Oppenheimer, JK Galbraith, John Searle, Steve Jones and Edward Said.
This year's Reith Lecturer was Professor Vilayanur Ramachandran,
Director of the Centre for Brain and Cognition and professor with the
Psychology Department and the Neurosciences Programme at the
University of California, San Diego.

04/09/2004 03:54 PMFor those of you who don't know, basically my job at the moment is
to be one-half of a rapid-prototyping and R&D unit with Matt Webb over at the
part of the BBC that handles the
interactive aspects of the BBC's Radio and Music output. The department
makes all the websites for the various Radio Networks as well as
interactive TV stuff, stuff for mobile phones and - of course - the
Radio Player. It's a pretty cool place to work and I'm proud of the
work that we've managed to get done there (more on that in the next
few months, hopefully).
So at the moment I'm particularly proud of the work that the
department is doing. Basically Radio 4 do a series of programmes each
year called The Reith
Lectures, in which they get a notable thinker to come in and -
over a series of lectures - expound upon a particular scientific,
political or social theme. This year Wole Soyinka, Nobel Prize-winning
poet, is talking about Climate of Fear.
Normally - like many BBC radio shows - you can listen to them again
via the BBC Radio Player. But this year they're doing something a bit
different and I think pretty significant - they're releasing all
the lectures as DRM-free MP3 files for people to download. There's
more about this over at Dan
Hill's site and Matt Jones has written some commentary on it too
(Free
as in speech). Hopefully it's the first open distribution of many
programmes of this kind - enlightening, significant and weighty pieces
of work that actually have the potential to make the world a better
place - available for free from the BBC. Fingers crossed.

continue
John Paul II's

frontrunner is the socially conservative Nigerian Cardinal

Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga

The how and why of happiness
04/16/2004 01:06 PMLong article about happiness from
The Guardian. I was
especially interested in the part that reported that people, on
average, are least happy at age 42, because they realize they aren't
going to be rich and famous like they thought when they were in their
twenties. After 42, though, they stop worrying about it, and start
enjoying life more.
'People start out in life pretty certain that they're
going to end up like David Beckham or win the Nobel Prize,' says
Oswald. 'Then, after a few years, they discover it's quite tough out
there - not just in their careers, but in life. Unsurprisingly, their
happiness drops.' The good news is that the downer doesn't last.
According to Oswald, if you trace the trajectory of most peoples'
happiness over time it resembles a J-curve. People typically record
high satisfaction levels in their early twenties. These then fall
steadily towards middle age, before troughing at around 42. Most of us
then grow steadily happier as we get older, with those in their
sixties expressing the highest satisfaction levels of all - as long,
that is, as they stay healthy.

01/07/2004 04:33 PMDo I exist if I don't blog? I have been quiet for a couple of days,
because there frankly has not been much to say. I'm using my final
vacation days, and not really much of interest has happened - nothing
that I would say out loud in public anyway :).
I did manage to see Helmiä ja Sikoja, a
rather hilarious Finnish movie about a bunch of guys who owe someone a
whole lot of money, and thus decide to make a singing star out of
their 10-year little sister. I wasn't expecting much of it, but
somehow the fresh performances of the cast, who obviously do have some
comedic talent, made it a rather memorable experience. And the song
the little girl sings is absolutely beautiful. Got a tear in my jaded
eye :).
Though, I did have these flashbacks to some other movie, where
also four handsome brothers land in some financial difficulties and
use crime and deception to wiggle their way out of it... Oh well.

09/27/2004 08:53 AM
David Pescovitz:
A new scientific study reveals that (shocker!) a nation's economic
fortitude is not as tied to the well-being of its citizens as previous
believed. The results of the study--prepared by researchers at the
University of Illinois and University of Pennsylvania--appeared in the
latest issue of
Psychological Science in the Public
Interest.
"It has been assumed that money increases well-being and,
although money can be measured with exactitude, it is an inexact
surrogate to the actual well-being of a nation. In a 1985 survey,
respondents from the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans and the
Maasai of East Africa were almost equally satisfied and ranked
relatively high in well-being. The Maasai are a traditional herding
people who have no electricity or running water and live in huts made
of dung. It follows, that economic development and personal income
must not account for the happiness that they are so often linked
to."
Instead, the authors propose that a population's "engagement, purpose
and meaning, optimism and trust, and positive and negative emotions in
specific areas such as work life and social relationships" should be
considered when measuring the strength of a nation.
