Ask Not for Whom the Spam Tolls

Ask Not for Whom the Spam Tolls 03/14/2003 01:08 PM
Arnold Kling wonders at Corante how The World of Ends idea applies to spam: The World of Ends would seem to imply that the only weapon against spam is end-user filtering.  Any attempt to stop spam at the network level would require opening up packets and looking at them, which violates the world-of-ends principle Instead, he suggests: It is almost impossible to enforce a law against sending spam.  So we should try to pass a law against responding to spam. What I propose is that any American who makes a purchase based on unsolicited email be fined $10,000 and jailed for 30 days. ...

« Cryptonomicon gate on Fredrikinkatu. I called it this after I remembered that I had seen similar symbols in Stepheson's Baroque Cycle which were from John Wilkins' Philosophical Language. »

It was a long, long weekend in spite of not much drinking or partying, but included an unexpected houseguest from the US and I'm still trying to recover. I used to be young and spontaneous and now I'm just old and cranky when the rituals that get me through the day are disturbed. In an attempt to be hostess to the houseguest who travelled 4,000 miles where others failed, I finally managed to see the somewhat legendary expat junk food store in the lower level of Kämp Galleria and I am now convinced that I am, in fact, in the wrong line of work judging by the prices. I should open a shop called "Pimp My Crack" in Hakaniemi filled with crap from the US and the UK or maybe a Krispy Kreme store. The first one is always free...

Use of software that monitors Internet activity without a user's knowledge -- termed "spyware" -- is on the rise. The most pervasive use of spyware appears to be in P2P file-sharing apps, such as Kazaa. But many users seem blissfully unaware of spyware's reach. Can PC spies be stopped?

And then, of course, we were offered "America We Stand as One / F*CK Yeah!" mash-up video, frist reported here. Well, now the original artist has responded. Dennis has placed himself in the public spotlight. Does this not warrant some playful ridicule? Some might feel bad for Dennis, but others might say he has targeted himself...

Chicago's Cloud Gate

Chicago's Cloud Gate 08/02/2004 10:33 AM
Cloud Gate is Anish Kapoor's recently unveiled artwork in Chicago's Millennium Park. The surreal sculpture has caused quite a stir and the media are pissing off Kapoor by nicknaming it "The Bean." Former BB guestblogger Jenn Shreve sent along links to architectural writer Lynn Becker's photo essay of The Bean Cloud Gate under construction, an image gallery of the completed work, and a Webcam site. Jenn says:

"Cloud Gate combines the blobular, organic shapes that have been so prevalent in recent design with the reflective surfaces common to Gehry's architectural work and turns the idea of sculpture  as something to be *looked at* on its ear, transforming the very looking into an experiential, interactive encounter--all within the public sphere. Plus it looks like an alien just layed a mega egg in the middle of the city, which you gotta love."

Never trust gate agents...

Never trust gate agents... 01/26/2004 12:43 PM

I remember learning this lesson in the past. NEVER TRUST GATE AGENTS. My Lufthansa flight from Zurich to Munich was over an hour delayed. My transfer was very short and I thought I would miss my flight so I asked them to route me through Frankfurt. They told me all flights out of Munich were late and I would be OK. We arrived in Munich and we walked off the plane and were told to walk up an escalator going the wrong direction. Then at the top of the escalator, the door was locked and we had a pile-up. I heard cussing in a variety of languages. It was funny. We got out and all of the displays for connecting flights were blank.

I went to the gate, and of course the flight had left. I went to the service counter and I got the "are you stupid?" look and was told that I should take the next flight to Frankfurt.

Anyway, I better go board my next flight on my Lufthansa hub-a-thon...

$30,000 Gate

Open Source For Corporations: Set Up A
$30,000 Gate 04/12/2004 02:10 PM
While many in the tech industry always seem focused too much on companies that produce technology, there isn't as much interest in how everyday companies use technology to improve their own bottom line. There's a new "co-op" targeted at large companies that use technology as a way to improve their business, but who are sick of spending so much time and money on customized software for their business. Think of it as open source software with a $30,000 gate. Members of the co-op pay $30,000 per year to join, and then can freely share software they've built with others in the co-op. The benefits, in theory, are access to the other software from other companies, and the fact that some others within the co-op will contribute to and improve on software that's been donated. Of course, companies could just open source this software (since it's obviously focused on software that isn't designed to give the companies a competitive advantage). However, it seems like they figure that the $30,000 gate will keep the level of the software included higher and more focused on corporate uses. Also, it's much more likely that companies will be willing to spend their own engineering resources on applications that go into this program than on fully open source projects - since many managers still have a fear of open source. The article suggests that this could be disruptive to companies that design custom applications for corporate users. There is still a question of seeding the field with enough applications, but it sounds like they've already convinced some large companies (like Best Buy) to join and toss some of their corporate software into the pot.
