12/27/2004 12:48 PM The Mayo Clinic tested PDAs that access WLANs and deem them safe:
It's one thing to assume that WLANs don't have an effect on pacemakers
and other heart-assisting devices, and another to test that
assumption. The Mayo Clinic did limited testing and found no problems.
These devices are apparently sensitive to electromagnetic radiation,
the report says. [via TechDirt]...

language: Some interesting history on PHP. It used to be a Perl
wrapper?
PHP was originally designed as a wrapper around Perl by Rasmus
Lerdorf in 1994 to display his resume information and collect some
data, such as how many hits it was generating. Others first used
"Personal Home Page Tools" in 1995, which Lerdorf had combined with
his own Form Interpreter to create PHP/FI.
Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, two Israeli developers of the
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology rewrote the parser in 1997,
forming the basis of PHP 3. They also changed the name to its current
recursive form. After months in beta, the development team officially
released PHP/FI 2 in November 1997.

05/04/2004 10:23 PMJohn Allsopp: Message To The Messengers - Props to the old school:
Of late, with the latest version of Style Master released,
bedded down, and well received, I've been a little nostalgic about the
old days of CSS. So I thought I might try to ride that wave a little,
cast my mind back over my experience of CSS, and talk a little about
some people you really should be grateful to if you work with CSS and
web standards. Particularly some you might not have heard
of.
There follows a tribute to some of the unsung heroes of the early
history of CSS. And
if that's piqued your interest, Lauren Wood's recent post about DOM
Level 3 becoming a W3C Recommendation has some insights in to the
early days of the DOM
Working Group, which she chaired up until November 2001.

Movie Database - Wikipedia: An interesting few paragraphs on the
history of the IMDb.
The database started out in 1990 as a collection of shell scripts
created by Col Needham which could be used to search the FAQs posted
to the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.
In 1993, a centralized e-mail interface for querying the database
was created, and in 1994 this interface was extended to allow the
submission of information as well. The database then moved to a
Web-based interface, which initially ran on a network of mirrors with
donated bandwidth. In 1996, the project was incorporated in the United
Kingdom to form Internet Movie Database Ltd., and banner ads were
added to the web site.
In April 1998, the company was bought by Amazon.com, the current
owner; however, a number of the original creators, including Needham,
remained as site managers.
How many great things in the world started as shell scripts
somewhere? It's a hacker's world.

The History Of Computing, Or Some Of It
The History Of Computing, Or Some Of It
07/14/2004 03:00 PMWe found a gem poking around on the corporate network the other
day: a PDF of "The
History of Programming Languages", a poster by O'Reilly that
shows 50 programming languages and their timelines and
interrelationships. Chris posted back in March about the progenitor of this chart, Éric Lévénez's Computer Languages
History, which is kept very up to date (it already has yesterday's
PHP
5.0 release).
A few interesting tidbits from the chart:
- Ruby and Oak (Java's predecessor) are among the biggest mutts in
programming history, the former taking ideas from 5 languages, the
latter from 6.
- Noone has ever heavily borrowed ideas from COBOL since the sixties
(and even then, only PL/I did).
- BASIC emerged from Fortran and Algol160 (whatever that
is).
Equally interesting are the graphs that show the giant UNIX history hairball,
as well as the slightly more organized history of Windows.
If I can find a big enough wall, I'm going to send that history of
UNIX diagram to the roll-fed plotter we use for UML hairballs.

Own a Piece of History
Own a Piece of History
01/05/2005 07:05 PMIt’s finally time. I’m ready to part with my T
reo 600 now that I’m set up on the new T
reo 650. My first 600 had problems that caused it to frequently
reset itself. I didn’t realize this until I got the replacement
600, which is much more stable. So I’m selling the Treo 600 (for
Sprint’s network), a
case, and
a keyboard for $250. If you’re interested in owning the
device that started the infamous What’s on My Treo 600 page, email or IM me
(cybrarygal on AIM).
Interesting tangent: I thought
Kate’s 19–year old daughter Clare would want it for
Christmas, but she says no. Even though she’s all about
messaging (which is why I thought the keyboard and full IM capability
would be a no-brainer for her), she says it’s too big.
She’d rather have something she can easily fold over
clamshell-style and fit in her pocket. She truly
would rather text message using a phone dialpad than carry a
larger phone. Go figure.

Stephen Bury is the nom de plume of Neal Stephenson and J. Frederick
George and I found a copy of the little known The
Cobweb on Abebooks a while back and purchased it since I
enjoy his books. The Cobweb reads like a novel written yesterday, not
10 years ago. It's a novel about the last war in Iraq, the
intelligence people who have information of potential terrorists acts
on US soil, and the people in politics who cobweb them into inaction.
While the novel isn't brilliant, it is a fun read and is a fairly good
analysis of how people with good information and intentions at the
lower levels of the FBI and CIA couldn't stop, and likely still can't
stop, terrorism.
Hennessey laughed ruefully. "Your problem with this Iraq thing is
that you've got tangled up, unwittingly, with people who long ago
decided it wasn't sophisticated to be sincere, that sincerity was for
fools, that sincere people were put on earth to be manipulated and
exploited by people like them--for the greater good, of course. This
is currently the most common character flaw in the Washington
establishment--attempts to be Machiavellian by people who lack the
talent, the panache, to pull it off. So here you are, good old Clyde
Banks, desperately trying to deal with this very real problem here on
the ground, and it's as if you're in a nightmare where these fucking
bush-league Machiavellis listen to what you're saying but don't really
understand."
"That's pretty much what it feels like," Clyde said, frowning at his
corned-beef hash and nodding his head.
"You and I know that something is going on in Forks County, and we
would like to do something about it," Hennessey said, "but between the
two of us are about ten thousand of these people who are too busy
looking down their noses at us to actually grasp the problem and take
action. You must know that taking action is looked down upon, Clyde.
This is the postmodern era. When events come to a cusp, we're supposed
to screw our courage to the sticking place and launch a reanalysis of
the eleventh draft of the working document. Actually going out and
doing stuff in the physical world is simply beyond the comprehension
of these people. They're never going to do anything about the Iraqis
in Forks. Never."
Politics is the definition of putting a good face on raw selfishness.
An organisation will always fail when the personality, feelings or
agenda of one or a few people are more important than the mission of
the organisation.
How History Gets Twisted
How History Gets Twisted
08/15/2004 11:47 AMA short way into
this review of a new book about Microsoft, a
Boston Globe correspondent writes:
"A guilty finding
was overturned on appeal, and the government settled with the company,
imposing restrictions on its business practices. The resulting
introspection persuaded Gates to stand aside as chief executive in
favor of Steve Ballmer, who would be his partner in remaking the
company."
The number of misstatements in just these
two sentences is fairly amazing.
The judge's ruling that Microsoft had repeatedly violated the law
was not overturned. (And there are no "guilty" or "not guilty"
findings in civil antitrust cases to start with; this wasn't a
criminal matter, though it probably should have been.) The appeals
court specifically agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft was a
serial offender, though it did back Microsoft's position in a small
portion of the charges.
The Bush administration's "settlement" was a cave-in, giving back
what it had already won in court.
The "impositions" on Microsoft's business practices are widely
seen outside the company (and probably inside) as next to meaningless,
and certainly haven't had any visible effect on competition in an
industry that Microsoft still controls.
Ballmer became CEO in 2000, before Judge Jackson ordered
the breakup of the company, and long before the appeals court
overruled him.
I bring all this up mainly to point back to the first item -- the
notion that the company was cleared of wrongdoing. This has become
popular "wisdom," and it's incorrect. Every judge that has had to rule
on this has agreed that Microsoft broke the law to maintain its
monopoly.
Let's at least remember that much.
