On Rudeness and Ad Hominem







On Rudeness and Ad Hominem

On Rudeness and Ad Hominem 05/05/2004 09:44 AM

Several people (and some mice) wrote in the comments section to a previous post that the Free Culture Movement is not immune to accusations of having bad manners and issuing ad hominem attacks on copyright maximalists. Alas, this is true. I have lurched into shallow insults at times myself. I'm...

.NET Rashomon Rudeness


.NET Rashomon Rudeness 12/16/2003 03:12 AM
One fact, multiple perspectives:

  .NET continues to surprise me. It provides a portable code layer and a way of accessing OS internals. For example, we can do OS specific stuff like playing a .WAV music on .NET. We really have the best of both worlds with .NET: platform and language portability, with hooks into the underlying operating system.

  .NET continues to surprise me. It still remains a thin layer between the OS and you. For example, we recently found out that playing a .WAV file in .NET requires making a Win32 call. It's frustrating that there is no .NET multimedia equivalent.

  .NET continues to surprise me. It still remains a thin hymen between the OS and you. Once you penetrate it, and do stuff like playing sexy music, you're no longer a virgin - you're hooked up to something better than .NET sex - the Win32 api.

While browsing the magazine section in the bookstore today, I heard a peculiar laugh. A few seconds later, a slightly different peculiar laugh but enough alike the first laugh for me to realize it was the same person. Then a few moments later, another odd laugh by the same person. And by odd and peculiar, I mean this person's laughs were really pretty loud, obnoxious and disruptive in the quiet of the magazine-browsing space, like someone portraying a horrible laugher in a comedy skit. But whatever, she's having fun with a witty friend or something.

After a couple more minutes, I turn to walk out of the magazine section and I catch the laugher in action and she's cackling at something she's listening to *on her headphones*. I just about throttled her.

How influential is the Free Culture Movement and the book that gives it its name? One way to judge is by measuring the ferocity of the opposition. Those who have pushed for copyright maximization over the past decade or so have been able to do so unfettered by inconveniences like...
