A Horribly Misguided Protester







A Horribly Misguided Protester

A Horribly Misguided Protester 03/19/2003 10:27 PM

Sometimes, a Protest Doesn't Work Out Quite Right. Once again, in less than a week, Olympia, WA, the fair city I call home, has made the news because of the actions of a war protester (which Olympia has no shortage of). Though not deadly like the Rachel Corrie incident, it shows the importance of making sure you do your research before you head out to make a statement.

For reasons I can't fathom, my Mac running OS X takes forever to download some Web pages that take no time at all with Windows. The one thing I've noticed is that the Mac has a lot of trouble resolving certain advertising URLs, particularly Doubleclick.net ads that are served along with the actual pages in question -- which, sorry to say, include this blog's pages. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here? Post a comment below if you do. Thanks.

Spammer's Sentence Misguided, Sends
Wrong Message
04/11/2005 11:42 PM
We all agree that convicted spammer Jeremy Jaynes is a nasty slime deserving of punishment for his daily 10 million spam emails fix. But now we're not the only ones wonde ring if a Virginia court went overboard on his 9-year jail sentence. Brian McWilliams says basically the same thing in his column, adding that not only is it excessive but also misguided and potential dangerous. The gist is of the commentary is two-fold: first, the overly stiff sentence puts him on par with violent criminals and completely ignores other forms of punishment, ie, he may not have to hand over a penny of his filthy lucre; and second, crucifying him this way is a good deterrent but will only martyr him and create a public backlash. Perhaps the lesson for prosecutors here is that you might serve the public better by seeking more balanced penalties. Maybe a tad less jail time, more commensurate with the crime, and a bit more repaying of the ill-gotten gains. Even better, throw in some community service, like forced service in the fight against spam. On a big scale, Mr. Jaynes and his ilk could help catch spammers or figure out ways to thwart them. Sort of the bad-hackers-turned-good approach. On a smaller and far more satisfying scale, we could make them clean up after themselves. Put them on Deletion Detail. If Jaynes had to delete spam messages all day, maybe we'd be more inclined to believe his pledge to reform himself.

Linspire (formerly known as LindowsOS) has consistently made an attractive, easy-to-install and easy-to-use GNU/Linux distribution. With the 2.6.10 Linux kernel and a recent build of X.org, Linspire has fixed some of the video driver problems I had with the 4.0 and 4.5 versions. As in previous releases, Linspire includes many proprietary add-ons "mainstream" desktop users enjoy, but in return it comes with proprietary strings attached.

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits 04/20/2004 10:11 AM

Linspire's lawyers (formerly Lindows) apparently need work after their losing battle with Microsoft. Now they're testing Apple's resolve by announcing LPhoto and LSongs . Two applications that bear more than a little resemblence to iPhoto and iTunes. Apple may be smaller than Microsoft, but it doesn't take too much research to find that they take their intellectual property very seriously. Unlike their last battle with Microsoft, I have a feeling they'll get to keep the names, but the apps will no doubt look vastly different by the time they are released.

My Workstation OS: Linspire 4.5


My Workstation OS: Linspire 4.5 03/14/2005 04:05 PM
Built on a Debian Linux core, Linspire is designed for simplicity of use, and it delivers this in spades. Linspire eliminates the need for me to be technically proficient in the nuances of Linux to successfully operate and enjoy the OS. This includes loading software, staying updated, and never seeing a command-line interface. It makes it very easy to just get on with what I have to do and not worry about the technicalities of using a Linux-based system.
