Atlanta Sets September Debut for Airport
Wi-Fi 06/17/2005 03:19 PM
Atlanta has been a laggard in major airport Wi-Fi coverage: They've been discussing airport access as part of a broader citywide Wi-Fi service since 2004. The airport was supposed to be unwired this spring, but let's not blame them for ambitious plans. The company that was to provide this service still says coming soon on their Atlanta FastPass page, the name for this project. The airport will offer service on a wholesale basis to providers which will resell it or include it to their customers, an approach which seems to offer the least friction. The service will cost $3 million to install. The article doesn't mention anything about the larger Atlanta project....

Dates on the web

Dates on the web 12/03/2003 09:45 PM

D. Keith Robinson writes about Using Dates For Featured Web Content. Keith's right, including a date with your content really is a no-brainer. I'll add an anecdote of my own. Several years ago I ran a popular news site for Team Fortress Classic, a team based online first person shooter game with a thriving clan scene. I was careful to include dates on every piece of content, but in my youthful naivety I neglected to include the year. The years rolled by and the content built up until I suddenly realised that I was no longer sure what year some of it was written in! The site has sadly now passed in to history but the lesson remains: the web moves faster than you might think, so omitting the year in your dates is a pretty dumb thing to do.

It's pretty obvious but I'll point out anyway that using dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy for dates on sites is a bad idea as well. Us crazy brits use the former, them crazy yanks use the latter and everyone ends up thoroughly confused about any written date before the 13th of the month. I personally like to use the full "4th December 2003" format, but when space is limited the least ambiguous format is ISO standard YYYY-MM-DD.

Origin of the terms "BCE/CE" for dates?

Origin of the terms "BCE/CE" for dates? 07/12/2004 02:42 AM

A friend who blames Jews for all of the ills that he perceives in American society asked me if it was a Jew who started using "BCE" ("Before the Common Era" rather than BC or "Before Christ") for dates of events that occurred more than 2004 years ago.  Being a scientist and engineer he had only recently come across this coinage and was convinced that it part of a contemporary Jewish plot to deestablish Christianity as America's default religion.

My response was that I believed BCE/CE instead of BC/AD was a bit of 19th century academic pedantry.  I remember seeing the term on yellowed labels next to objects in museums that had been gathering dust for 50+ years.  Given that Jews had only recently escaped from their ghettos in the 19th century and that most classics or Bible scholars would have come from wealthier families, I thought it highly unlikely that a Jew coined the term.  Most likely I thought it was Christian scholars who wished to employ a bit of jargon to make their professional work appear more scientific.  The only etymological reference that I could find was this Word IQ article, that talks about the appearance of the term "Common Era" in a 1908 encyclopedia published by the Roman Catholic Church.

Anyone have a better source for settling this question?  The Oxford English Dictionary and first Supplement don't contain "BCE" or "Common Era".

More Court Dates for Microsoft 12/29/2004 11:54 AM
A European ruling that the outfit must strip its media player from Windows chills chances of a settlement in the EU antitrust case

It's bad enough for Microsoft (MSFT ) that a European judge ruled on Dec. 22 that the software giant will have to disclose proprietary technical information to rivals and sell a version of Windows with its audio and video player stripped out. But the ruling's real damage is far more subtle. Microsoft had hoped that it would win a modest point, a setback for the European Commission that would bring it back to the negotiating table. But its victory was so sweeping that the EC has little impetus to resume talks. And that means Microsoft will continue to slog this case out in court.
