Stolen Car Turns Up Twenty Years Later
On The Internet
12/12/2003 05:44 AMSome things you just don't expect. If your car was stolen in 1983,
you probably have given up hope by now that you'll ever see it again.
But, you should never doubt the power of the internet. A man who had
his 1968 Mercury Cougar stolen in 1983
is getting the car back, thanks to the internet. Someone
posted a classified ad trying to sell the car, and while investigating
the background of the car, someone figured out that the car had been
stolen and informed the rightful owner - suggesting he buy the car.
However, the true owner was still in possession of all the paperwork
saying that he's the rightful owner of the car, and therefore
shouldn't have to pay to recover his own car. Meanwhile, the guy who
had it has been arrested for "possession of stolen property" - though,
he says the car was a gift from his father. Over the course of twenty
years, I imagine the car could have shifted hands a few times.

02/17/2004 11:55 AM The San Francisco Chronical has an
observance on the 10th anniversary of the death of Randy
Shilts. His second book,
And the Band Played On
opened my eyes to the AIDS epidemic, as I am sure it did to a lot of
straight people. I was amazed to see him pilloried in the gay press
as being a traitor to his "kind." My understanding is that
this disfavor arose from his assertion that aspects of the hard-won
sexual freedom enjoyed by many gay men were also killing them. Anyone
want to weigh in on this?

4/19 1995.
Ten years
ago today. Do you remember where you were when the federal
building in Oklahoma City was bombed? It was then the biggest act of
mass murder in U.S. history. Shocking to a people
una
ccustomed to domestic terrorism. What followed was an outpouring
of
volunteer
support and
grief
for the victims, a
manhunt for
suspects
presumed
to be Arabic, and calls for a
'war against terrorism'.
Timothy McVeigh and
Terry Nichols were eventually
arrested for, and convicted of the crime, but since McVeigh
was put to death in 2001, a
steady stream of new evidence has called into question both
the government's
handling of the investigation and the
official
version of events. Survivors and victims' family members gather
today to
remembe
r and to
reaffirm demands for truth.

Richard Stallman resigned from MIT
20 years ago today to launch the
GNU Project. That
was the free software effort that ultimately spawned the operating
system known as Linux, building on a tradition that gave the world a
host of other software, some of which is at the heart of the Internet
and other things we take for granted today.

Doug
McIlroy published
Macro instruction extensions of compiler languages, which
appears to be a seminal paper in the literature of metaprogramming. I
mention this because a number of folks have responded to last week's
item,
Programs
that write programs, pointing out that Lisp programmers have been
there, done that:
"your note about code generation, and the referenced discussions -
bits of which i'd already read elsewhere, left me with a really eerie
feeling, that i might not be living in the same dimension with you
folks. you see, there's a practice of code generation which extends
back decades: lisp. code generations is a lisp programmer's bread and
butter."
"In the lisp world, they call these macros. The idea is pretty widely
known, though not too many languages implement them. Perl 6, and by
extension the Parrot interpreter, will include macros, and they will
thus be available to any language that gets implemented on top of
Parrot (which currently includes Ruby, Python, (maybe) PHP, and, of
course, Perl)."

Capabilities are assembled like armies and run out on discussion
boards to face the flames. So let me say this now: your operating
system is probably better than mine. Most modern operating systems are
better than FreeDOS when considered by any objective criteria. FreeDOS
doesn't multitask, doesn't surf the Internet easily, isn't great for
multimedia productions, and doesn't even do Windows. But I love it
anyway.

Software That Lasts For Years And Years
Software That Lasts For Years And Years
07/14/2004 06:51 PMWe were just talking about the
rise of
quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily
programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at
the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming,
and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level
"big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed
the
problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats
die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient
media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin
is now suggesting that people need to start
designing "Societal
Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a
few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to
worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will
be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though,
Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming,
though not necessarily the way people view open source programming
today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think
long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas
will actually catch on.

The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link will turn 20 in April. I became a
member in 1989 and though I haven't posted anything there in years,
the discussions I had there and the friends I made have had a profound
influence on my life.
Incredibly, twenty years of living online have sped by
since the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link opened to members on April 1,
1985. Twenty years is a milestone in the life of any group or town. A
full generation of WELLbeings have changed and been changed by
extraordinary experiences together here. Serious celebration is in
order through the month of April! WELL members past, present and
future are invited to celebrate this milestone with us online and
off.

As the Mac turns 20, has the PC caught
up?
01/22/2004 10:19 AMTwenty years ago this week, during the year of Big Brother, Steve Jobs
and Steve Wozniak introduced the Apple Macintosh. Although the seminal
advert sticks in everyone's minds, it's easy to forget just how
revolutionary that little beige, boxy, Mac was. At the time, Windows
version 1 was still a year away, and overlapping windows and icons on
the PC would not appear for another three years, in the form of
Windows 2--later to be renamed Windows 286. And of course all those
early versions of Windows ran on top of the DOS command-line operating
system.
