A Republican senator who gets it
A Republican senator who gets it
05/28/2004 03:34 PMFrom a profile of Senator Warner (R-Va) in today's Washington Post:
Warner says his committee has a "solemn responsibility" to discover
what went wrong and to "make sure it never, never happens again." But
some conservatives are angry about the high-profile televised
hearings, saying the prisoner-abuse issue is overblown and threatens
to undermine the United States' primary mission in Iraq. ... "I think
he should stop the hearings at this point; we've heard enough," said
Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), a committee member. "We have a war to
win, and we need to keep our talents concentrated on winning the war
as opposed to prisoner treatment." ... But Warner shows no signs of
backing off, arguing that the country wants and deserves a vigorous
examination of the sexual humiliation, physical abuse and torture of
Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison. He has held three televised
hearings this month to question top Pentagon officials and military
commanders -- two more televised sessions than the House has allowed
-- and he is planning more. Friends say Warner -- a sailor in World
War II, a Marine during the Korean War and secretary of the Navy
before he came to the Senate in 1979 -- is motivated by a strong
belief that the reputations of both the military and the Senate are at
stake unless they get to the bottom of the scandal. "To do otherwise
would be contradictory to everything he has experienced in his
professional life," said committee member John McCain (R-Ariz.).
Besides, McCain added, "it would be incredibly stupid politically."
... Warner's pursuit of the issue has the backing of most Armed
Services members as well as Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (Tenn.),
though he has infuriated some conservatives. Sen. John Cornyn
(R-Tex.), another committee member, has expressed concern that the
hearing may be "a real distraction from trying to win the war,
especially at this most fragile time." House Majority Leader Tom DeLay
(Tex.) also suggested a lower profile for the prisoner-abuse issue,
saying, "We should not allow it to distract us from the war at
hand."... "Senator Warner is a military guy through and through. He
volunteered twice, served in the armed forces twice -- that's twice
more than a lot of members," said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.)...
Some see Warner's intervention against North and his outrage over the
prisoner abuse as dual reflections of...

05/03/2004 05:57 PMAl Franken is thinking about running for the Senate:
As Al Franken considers challenging Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., for
re-election in 2008, the comedian and liberal radio host is looking to
his hometown senator for advice: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"I asked Hillary, 'Can you give me some suggestions about running for
Senate in a state you haven't lived for in a while, or in your case,
ever?' " Franken recalled, laughing heartily. "And she said, 'This
will be a long conversation,' so we agreed to have a long conversation
about it."

John Parres
says:
Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) is back in the news. Last fall the
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which he chairs, scrutinized
the RIAA's crackdown on file-sharers. Last week during a Consumer
Electronics Show panel he said, "With the advent of technology such as
peer-to-peer networking, law, technology and ethics are now not in
synch. We need to find other ways to solve the problems rather than
issuing lawsuits and lobbying Congress to pass tougher laws." Now, lo
and behold, he is planning to convene a peer-to-peer (P2P) summit
within the next two months. (Story

The Senator says, "I believe we need the technology experts, the
computer industry, the peer-to-peer industry, the software industry,
the entertainment industry, the privacy experts and the business
experts to come together and discuss positive and meaningful solutions
to this challenge facing a major segment of our economy." A voice of
reason in the Senate? I for one am hopeful.

Senator Tries to Block GMail
Senator Tries to Block GMail
04/23/2004 09:33 AMLegislator seeks to block Gmail: I don't agree with the
senator's logic here. Like I've said before, GMail is essentially a big bribe. In
exchange for 1GB of storage, you give up some privacy. So long as
people understand that going in, where's the harm? You won't catch me
doing it, but other people are willing to live with the creepiness for
that much space. I say good for them.
Blasting Gmail as a horrific intrusion into Internet users'
privacy, a California state senator has introduced legislation to
block Google's free e-mail service.
State Sen. Liz Figueroa, a Democrat from the Bay Area city of
Fremont, said Thursday that it should be illegal for a company to scan
the text of its customers' e-mail correspondence and display relevant
advertising--even if customers explicitly agree to the practice in
exchange for a gigabyte of storage.

Senator Proposes Email Tax
Senator Proposes Email Tax
11/19/2003 10:26 AMOne of the popular ideas that always gets kicked around as a way to
stop spam is to add a "small" fee to every email that gets sent. This
isn't on the basis of any real costs, but simply on the basis of
stopping spam. Now it appears that a Senator is
starting to
push for the idea (though, worded in a way that he can later say
he didn't push for it - if it proves to be politically unpopular). At
a first pass, it may sound sensible, but there are any number of
problems with the idea. First, the added cost of setting up,
monitoring and maintaining such a system - and collecting the "tax"
would be prohibitively expensive. Not to mention the fact that
spammers would simply figure out a way around the plan - and the only
people left paying the "tax" would be folks sending email
legitimately. Running a mailing list would suddenly become much more
expensive as well. It sounds like, so far, most of the problems with
an email tax have been clearly stated, so it's unlikely to go
anywhere. These are all attempts at "simple" solutions - and people
are becoming aware of the fact that spam isn't a simple problem with a
simple solution.

08/20/2004 12:33 PMMark Frauenfelder: Senator Ted Kennedy says he was

His aides had to call Tom Ridge three times to get taken off the
list. Imagine how hard it would be for one of us lesser human beings
to get taken off the list.
A Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman's explanation
makes me even more nervous about the way things are being run be the

His name was similar to someone else's alias.'" [italics

be denied boarding for having a similar name to a suspected
terrorist's alias? L

Senator Hatch: It May Be Wrong, But It
Needs To Be Done
07/22/2004 06:27 PMWell, it looks like the hearings on the INDUCE Act went pretty much as
expected. Senator Hatch explained
why P2P systems need
to be banned, even if it's wrong to do so. That's not exactly
what he said, but he did say, "If you help us, we just might get it
right. If you don't, we're going to do it." As far as I can tell,
that statement means, "We know we might be wrong, but we still have to
do it." But why? "Something has to be done." Inspired law making.
"This must be done, even if it makes things worse." This is followed
by Senator Leahy's ridiculous explanation supporting the bill: "We
have to understand that some people use P2P technology in ways that
are wrong and illegal." Apparently, Senator Leahy needs a refresher
course on the law. If it's already being used for illegal things then
that means the law already covers it, and making
other things
illegal is pretty pointless.
Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down
Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down
04/22/2004 10:44 AMThere are many reasons I love the Internet, but the fact that weblogs

Louise Garston's exist would have to be one of them. "Nice cup of tea

That's it. Period. Simple. It's totally sincere and sweet, and full of
breaking news about which flavor of jam is most popular for
discriminating toast aficionados, newly resurrected teas, and so on.
Sometimes, Louise posts tea-and-biscuit related art, like a portrait
of "Two little old space-alien ladies having a nice sit down." At
present, Louise is pretty worked up about the fact that the "iconic"
biscuit known as Tim Tams have recently become available to UK
consumers, after a long and ardurous struggle. "Tescos sell them now,"
says Louise. "Hooray, you have to tell everyone, they're fantastic!
Enjoy!"

What a Nice Day
12/16/2002 12:12 PMIt is really snowing hard outside. But it's not quite cold enough for
it to accumulate to anything significant. I only wish I had a camera
to capture it, this one, specifically. With U2 playing in the
background, and no real plans for today, it's really a nice morning.
If you've come here from Stonefishspine, welcome. If you haven't,
you're okay too. Over the weekend I spent a lot of time collaborating
(coblogerating?) with G.K. Nelson of Stonefishspine on a new kind of
commenting system to integrate with pMachine, a blogging (Content
Management) system. I'm very happy with the end result. If you'd
like to see it, head over to Stonefishspine and click on one of the
"Comments" link under any entry.
The system uses one part PHP, and two parts DOM-compatible Javascript.
The whole thing only required about four lines of additional code
added to pMachine, on top of its own files, which aren't too large.
If it doesn't work for you, its likely because your web browser has
lack-luster (I've never actually typed that phrase before) support for
the Javascript DOM. So far, GK and I have confirmed that IE6/Win,
Mozilla Win/Mac, and Opera 7 handle the system just fine. IE/Mac
doesn't seem to like it, though; I'm working on it.
From my coding perspective, two things were crucial in designing the
sytem. One, if the user's browser didn't support the Javascript DOM,
they would still be able to comment, via a popup window. For example,
try to comment in Opera 6 and you'll get the standard commenting popup
window which can see the same comments the dynamic version does. This
brings me to the second important point, pMachine compatibility. I
determined early on that if I was going to make the system work
fluidly with pMachine, I would a.) have to do a lot of coding, or b.)
figure out a way to make it work with pMachines existing
infrastructure. In the case of the former, compatibility may have
been lost in the next pMachine release. However, because of how
pMachine is designed, I was able to use the latter approach. Because
of this we were able to complete the project in just over a day and a
half, instead of a week I think it would of taken if I had to make it
interact is pMachines database system, which would of involved talking
to three different tables.
Because of this simple interaction with pMachine, the whole system
would be easily ported to other people's installations of pMachine.
Likely, at some point in the future when all the bugs are worked out,
the entire system will be available to anyone who wants it. I may
even have to enable commenting on my installation of pMachine to take
advantage of the system. :)
