Why eggheads can't get elected President
Why eggheads can't get elected President
12/17/2004 06:36 PMPeople in Cambridge, Massachusetts often complain about the
apparent lack of intellectual and academic achievement displayed by
our top politicians. A Harvard PhD in an appropriate field ought
to make one more qualified for any job. Why then do Americans
elect to high office people who sound as though they were strangers to
the world of the university?
A glimmer of an explanation emerged when a friend told me
about the loud argument she'd had with her father, a humanities
professor at a university here in Boston. Professor X, an
immigrant from Europe, stated that Osama bin Laden was one of his
heroes because he was a champion of the working man. Daughter X
asked for some clarification as to how a Saudi who had inherited $250+
million from his daddy could be said to represent the interests of the
average worker. Professor X noted that Americans deserved
to be attacked on September 11th because the U.S. exploited workers in
poor countries and that Osama represented those workers. Even
those who believe that Professor X is correct will admit that his
opinions are out of sync with those of the average American voter.
How about the students? An increasing number of graduate
students, especially in technical and scientific departments, are
foreigners. A kid who grows up in a Muslim country where the
mood is relentlessly anti-American can't be expected to abandon his
antipathy to the American government and the American lifestyle merely
because he is so excited to be studying here at U.S. government
expense. If you wanted to attend an anti-Israel rally 10 years
ago the local university would have been the most likely place to
visit. Those rallies turned into anti-Jewish events 5 years ago
and are today places to denounce the current U.S. government and the
millions of Americans who voted for it.
For better or worse American universities have become our main
local venues for displays of anti-American feeling.
Perhaps this is one reason that our most successful politicians don't
sound as though they've spent too much time on campus.
[I'm off to Oaxaca, Mexico now and will be there on November 2
during what, no matter who wins, promises to be something of a
national tragedy. I managed to be away for all of September 2001
in Nova Scotia and am beginning to feel lucky to have escaped our
nation's most painful moments.]

Why Al-Qaeda wants President Bush to be
elected
07/21/2004 12:33 PMAaron Swartz presents three reasons why Al-Qaeda wants President Bush
to be elected (or re-appointed).
1. Reuters reported a letter from an al-Qaeda group that
said “it supported U.S. President George W. Bush in his
reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather
than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to
find a leader ‘more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with
matters by force rather than with wisdom.
2. A top CIA expert on al-Qaeda has concluded that al-Qaeda loves
President Bush, and might go so far as to plan an election attack to
rally the country around Bush.
3. Even administration officials concede “al-Qaeda has
morphed into a loose and expanding association of regional terror
cells [and] the Iraq war has fueled rather than doused the fires of
jihad.”

Too Angry To Be Elected: Harry Truman
Too Angry To Be Elected: Harry Truman
12/15/2003 11:40 AMThere's an argument going around that Howard Dean is too "angry and
brusque" and that his campaign is "giving angry, protest-oriented
activists the rope they need to hang the party". Certainly, the
Republicans are gearing up to push this angle. However, it pays to
know history; specifically, the presidential election of 1948. That
year, much to the surprise of the pundits and oddsmakers, Harry
Truman beat Thomas Dewey by a healthy margin, both in the popular vote
and electoral vote.

"It is tragic that a man's life was lost in these circumstances but
this case should serve as a stark warning to all that the risk is very
real and with the extended use of mobile phones generally more public
attention should be drawn to this risk," Judge Cohen said.

excellent character and the fact the dead man's parents did not wish

Microsoft Walks Multipath
04/05/2005 04:14 AMSince much of the server-based storage targeted for consolidation on
Internet Protocol storage-area networks (SAN) resides on departmental
servers running Windows, Microsoft Corp.'s commitment to iSCSI has
been key to the success of IP SANs so far. The company began offering
an iSCSI driver, or "initiator," for Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003
and XP Pro shortly after the standard was final in 2003. In February,
Microsoft stated it would release late a new version that supports
multipathing, a technology common in Fibre Channel SANs that supports
load balancing and fail-over by allowing multiple connections, or
paths, between servers and storage devices. Previously, Microsoft
offered only multipath I/O (MPIO) for Fibre Channel, although Network
Appliance Inc. and EqualLogic Inc. adapted it for their iSCSI
products.
Microsoft's goal is to simplify block-based networked storage by
providing a universal initiator and MPIO interface for Windows
servers. "In the Fibre Channel world, there are a lot of proprietary
solutions, and they can get quite difficult to troubleshoot," says
Claude Lorenson, a senior product manager at Microsoft's Windows
Server division. To avoid that situation, Microsoft will support only
its own MPIO mechanism for iSCSI, although Lorenson says it will
continue to support "legacy" MPIO schemes for Fibre Channel.
