Debian: Where should
wewe should go from
here? 06/17/2005 06:46 PM
Debian sarge has finally been released -- now what? If you ask me (and you didn't, but I'm going to tell you anyway), Debian should have two overarching priorities for the next release: 1. putting a timed release cycle in place, so what happened with sarge never happens again; and 2. keeping the growing family of Debian derivatives united around a common core -- namely, Debian itself. What's at stake? If we don't do something about both of these problems, actual and potential, Debian will be irrelevant by the time etch is out.

Iraqi first strike before the American
first strike? 03/15/2003 04:09 AM
ABC news is reporting that the US is worried that Iraq may strike first before we can strike first. I don't wish any harm on the American troops overseas (or on the poor Iraqi soldiers either, for that matter), but the logic of the outrage about this escapes me. We are proclaiming our right to strike preemptively and unilaterally, where we see a threat that might appear in the future, and we are actively preparing to strike at Iraq. What logic allows us to be outraged if Iraq reacts to this threat by striking at the troops ringing her borders? Incidents like these are why the Europeans have concluded that Americans have gone off their rockers....

Let the whining begin! 05/14/2004 12:13 PM
Though I suppose it's well past that time. SixApart announced the new licensing scheme for Movable Type 3.0. I'd figured something was coming down the pike reasonably soon--given their setup there wasn't any way they could sustain their development and actually have people eat. And, while the new prices seem more than a touch high, well... hell, it's their code, they can do what they want with it. The part I haven't been looking forward to isn't the cost, but rather the inevitable whining. Boy, has there been whining. Most of it has been "Oh, this software which I have...

I spent a chunk of this weekend working on the Pie-thon conversion setup. Since folks seem interested in this sort of thing (I'm not sure whether it's as a record of success or abject failure, so we just won't go there right now :) I figure I ought to note down what's going on--it's not like it'll make much difference one way or the other with the contest, so there's no harm as I see it. There's also a new category for this if you're into that sort of thing. (Official trackback ping URL is http://www.sidhe.org/~dan/blog/mt-tb.cgi/253 according to MT) No...

End the FCC, begin innovation

End the FCC, begin innovation 06/07/2004 02:14 PM

I try not to fall for Declan's grandstanding, but his piece on why the FCC should die is spot on.

What it means is returning to bottom-up law rather than the top-down process that has characterized telecommunications for the last 80 years.

Maybe it's the programmer in me talking but I think the Internet and unlicensed wifi spectrum show that unregulated spaces produce the most innovation and create new markets for technology and information. In many ways, the FCC has spent the last few decades slowing technology progress and most recently is now in the censorship game, which doesn't make any sense at all.

Direct and Related Links for 'Wi-Fi Tax - Let the bureaucracy begin'

Various departments of Japan’s government are toying with the idea of a Wi-Fi tax. As insane as this sounds, their government believes that this makes sense because other wireless device manufacturers as well as users pay for spectrum licenses. With this in mind, the logic follows that the Wi-Fi equipment makers should also be taxed as well….
