Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on) 12/23/2003 11:30 PM
Mark Bourne says: So my wife Elizabeth and I are googling up possibilities for our long trip to England next year. Checking out London sites and so on. An acquaintance suggested staying for a few days in the Cotswolds, a scenic Middle Earthy region west of London. That's how we found a page about the town of Bourton.

You just gotta love this text, which blends Ye Olde Scepter'd Isle with sci-fi gee-wizardry:

You will probably have noticed that when you take a branch from certain trees (some conifers for example), the branch looks like a miniature version of the tree, and when you break a piece off the branch, that looks like a tree too. Mathematicians call this property self-similarity.

Bourton has a wonderful example of self-similarity: it contains a 1/10 scale model of itself. Because the 1/10 scale model is a complete model of the town, it must contain a model of itself, and it does, a 1/100th. scale model of Bourton, and because the 1/100th. scale model is also a complete model of Bourton, it must also contain a 1/1000th. scale model of the scale model of the scale model of Bourton.

And it does. It is only a matter of time before a team of nano-technicians turn up in the town to etch a sub-micron scale model of Bourton on a silicon wafer, complete with mill, waterwheel, and a highly imaginative interpretation of the River Windrush as a stream of electrons.

Spammers Struggling, Moving Overseas

Spammers Struggling, Moving Overseas 12/15/2003 02:27 AM
Yet another in a long line of "spammer profiles." This one focuses on two grandparents who spam for a living - but claim that times are tough for spammers, and they may have to declare bankruptcy. I'm sure we all pity them and the "free speech rights" go on and on about. The article does a good job pointing out how spammers are quite different than direct mail companies - no matter what the spammers claim. It also points out, however, that spammers are all setting up shop overseas, where it will be even more difficult to track them down once the US law legalizing most spam goes into effect. I'm still wondering why no one is demanding that, if we must pass such a terrible law, why don't we have some clear review point, six months from the law going into effect that will show how much more spam is being received? If it shown (as most of us suspect) that the law does nothing to stop spam (and may even help increase it), then shouldn't a Plan B be lined up?

Church (AP) 04/03/2005 01:29 PM
AP - Pope John Paul II inspired American Catholics with his globe-trotting, charismatic leadership, perseverance in the face of debilitating illness, and deep spirituality. But his tight grip on church leadership and unwillingness to change some unpopular teachings clashed with the more democratic approach that many of the 65 million U.S. Catholics favor.

Why India is struggling with localized
language computing 08/17/2004 07:53 AM
While IT is improving the quality of life in many developed nations, the use of technology is still out of reach for people in many other countries. Nowhere is this digital divide as big or visible than in India. Apart from access to a computer, unfamiliarity with the English language is one of the biggest factors contributing to this problem. In countries like India, where the majority of the population is English-illiterate, computing has to speak a language the locals understand. This is where user-interface localization steps in.

HP opts to not use Centrino for professional models: HP is worried about corporate customers who don't want built-in obsolescence through built-in wireless. They'd rather offer interchangeable cards. They will use the Pentium-M, though, which the author of this piece implies is a different piece of technology. HP will introduce 802.11a, b, and g through an Atheros module in mini-PCI format in May. A consumer Centrino will follow in June.

Email Marketers Struggling With Can
Spam, Spammers Doing Just Fine 06/01/2004 10:55 AM
It's been quite clear for some time that many spammers have absolutely no intention of paying attention to any spam-related laws, such as CAN-SPAM. However, for (more) legitimate email marketers, the new regulations are already quite a hassle - with many of them failing to follow the requirements, putting them at risk of getting sued. This is a bit amusing, considering it was these so-called "legitimate marketers" who were so adamant about having CAN-SPAM passed in a way that would let them "legitimately" spam more easily. Now, what they're realizing is that they've added more trouble for themselves without doing much of anything to actually stop the spam that drowns out their own messages.

washingtonpost.com - SASEBO, Japan -- On a cloudless afternoon in this sleepy port city, an 11-year-old girl drenched in blood and clutching a box cutter walked into the lunchroom at her elementary school. Teachers and students froze, assuming the sixth-grader known for her lighthearted nature had gravely hurt herself -- but she quickly dispelled that impression, witnesses said, by uttering a few chilling words: "This is not my blood."

Telcos and cities struggling for
wireless deployment control 06/05/2005 11:48 PM

In a growing number of American states , city governments and telephone companies are struggling over policies determining who gets to rollout city-wide wireless internet connectivity. Telcos argue that cities offer unfair competition to their businesses.

Twenty states have already passed, or are trying to push through, legislation that would impose heavy restrictions on communities creating their own networks in areas already served by Bells and cable companies.
Thirteen of those states--Arkansas, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington--have passed bills restricting future public broadband projects, though existing initiatives are allowed to operate. The remaining eight have measures pending or have seen their bills fail to reach a vote.
