Super Science Fair Projects: Complete Guide to Science Fair Projects, Topics and Experiments
http://www.super-sc ience-fair-projects.com/

Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Fair use, or not fair?

Fair use, or not fair? 04/09/2004 04:09 PM
Last week we posted a story written by my colleague David Graham titled Proven: Windows is more secure than Linux. It was one of the better-read pieces on the site this week. Four days after the article was posted, David did a Google search and found more than half a dozen sites had linked to the piece -- flattering. But at least three sites posted all or a substantial portion of the piece on their own sites -- and that's a problem.

Jason Kottke was just on G4's Attack of the Show, and thanks to my hacked TiVo, it's available as a 85Mb MPEG2 torrent.

Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

Cory Doctorow: The entertainment companies often tell us that "fair use isn't a right, it's a defense." It's techincally true, but legally disingenous. As my cow-orker Fred Von Lohmann noted today in a mailing list post, "I've heard Peter Jaszi say on several occasions (and more eloquently), First Amendment is like fair use, technically invoked as a defense in court, but that doesn't stop us from talking about our *right* to free speech."

College To Do Away With Fair Use

College To Do Away With Fair Use 12/17/2003 09:34 PM
The latest silliness from our college campuses is this bit of news from Ithaca College, where they're planning to tell professors that fair use no longer exists when it comes to course packs (the photocopied excerpts from various sources that many professors use to give students short excerpts from a variety of sources). While most such course packs do involve some approved material, much of it is often used on a fair-use basis - but university administrators are afraid of getting sued. Thus, they're going to tell professors that they need to license every last bit of content they use. This means that (a) professors will ditch a lot of materials, because they don't have time to get approval from everyone or because the publisher wants too much money to include a single paragraph and (b) the course packs will be much more expensive with less useful stuff for students. In some cases, professors will simply put the materials on library loan, where students will go and photocopy it anyway - basically adding an "annoyance" factor to the process. It's a great lesson we're teaching the students of today when they don't get to read certain materials because it's just too damn expensive.

I'd say that this is what we have to worry about our copyright law doing to the free expression of ideas, but I'm afraid you're going to tell me that this is in fact where our copyright law already is.

Ernest Has ‘Way More Time Than I Do Lately

"And doing great things with the time he takes — so check out his blog entry pointing to a wide range of discussions on the DMCA exceptions that were posted today by the Librarian of Congress: Ancillary Works on DVD DMCA Exemption Denied" [Furdlog]

Ditto and "what he said." If you've noticed a slowdown at LawMeme, it's because Ernie's posts are on his personal blog now, and he must be foregoing sleep in order to post as often as he is at The Importance Of (RSS feed here, although I'm going to take a moment to plead with Ernest to provide a feed with the full text of his posts!). He's really been on a roll the last few days.

On a more depressing note, make sure you follow the link above to Ernie's post and read up on the four< /A> DMCA exemptions& nbsp;ruling, too, because today our government again decided that we do not have a right to "fair use" of the digital files we purchase. Not surprising given the way the entertainment industry has framed the debate and paid for legislation over the last decade, but discouraging nonetheless.

If legislators were forced to vote today for the "right of first sale" of digital files, which is the exemption that has traditionally allowed libraries to circulate physical materials, I wonder how many of them would blindly sign it away without a second thought to libraries. If public libraries didn't already exist, would we be able to start them in this day and age? My guess is no.

Fair Use with DVDs

NY Times: Whose DVD? A Debate Over Copies. The free copying tools are available through Internet sites that are not directly subject to American law, often because the nations that those sites call home permit individuals to copy material for their own use. People seeking such tools need only pose the question in an Internet search engine to find dozens of sites devoted to the subject, including the Afonic DVD Guides site (www .dvd-guides.com), run by Joseph Chatzimichail, a 20-year-old electrical and computer engineering student in Salonika, Greece.

Fair and Balanced?

Fair and Balanced? 10/28/2003 11:07 PM

Bill Gates recently got together with Steve Mills from IBM and demonstrated some web services interoperability between our two companies' products.  It has taken awhile to get to this point, from the initial hype to the point where some of these key scenarios work without smoke and mirrors; so it is nice to see a "status report" like this.

The first response I saw came in the form of this shrill attack piece run on CNET.  The author seems stuck in the last century, when people still bought the big lie about "write once run anywhere".  He fails to explain how "runs only on Java" is significantly different from "runs only on Windows", and completely misses the point that most enterprises have to support both types of systems (and many more) and therefore place a high priority on interop.

The attack piece brought back fond memories of the days when Bob Metcalfe and Jai Singh (now managing editor at CNET) were together at the helm of Infoworld.  Then I saw another analysis in CNET, covering the same interop event, but surprisingly balanced, at least in comparison to the first piece.  Finally, I found yet another analysis on CNET, again covering the same event; and this one is positively glowingly accurate!

What to make of it?  A single presentation by Bill Gates inspires three different pieces in CNET which cover the whole spectrum of opinion.  Can't complain about that.

INDUCE Act: Ipecac for Fair Use

INDUCE Act: Ipecac for Fair Use 06/28/2004 11:18 AM

I have an admission to make. Until about 5 minutes ago, I had never given money to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Although I have advocated their support for years, encouraging others to donate -- even on Gizmodo -- my cheap bastardness kept me from digging out my wallet, which is terribly lame, and I apologize. Now, though, I've cleared out my Paypal account and joined -- and I didn't donate a lot, either. Just $25 -- but now I feel like I can go ahead and write the rest of this post without being a total hypocrite.

Ernest Miller brought to my attention something called the INDUCE Act, a bit of proposed law spearheaded by Senator Orrin Hatch that could possibly be used by record companies to sue companies that "induce infringements of the Copyright Act," meaning portable music stalwarts like Apple and Toshiba could be penalized for providing iPods (and the drives that power them) because they encourage users to download music. If by my description the proposed act seems too vague and indefinable, that's because, basically, it is. The INDUCE Act would be another weapon in the music industry's fight against its own customers -- you and me.

Anyway, the EFF, as usual, does as much better job explaining the cause for alarm, including a mock complaint against Apple and Toshiba that the INDUCE Act, if passed, could make possible. If you think they maybe have a point, you should throw them a little cash, too. Think of it as a tax on all that free music you've downloaded or traded with your friends (don't tell them I said that, though).

Oh it gets better, apparently a carload of teens is enough for a Lenexa cop to follow you! So the parents should be up in arms right? Nope, they encourage the police, even calling them ("she told dispatchers that when she called home to check on her son, it sounded like a party was going on"). Yet surprisingly, despite this almost police-state like mentality against drinking, atti tudes are slow to change.

New Bluetooth Crack

New Bluetooth Crack 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Happy Friday:

Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.

"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication between those devices," says Shaked.

Check out the time required to pull this off:

They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair, they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

FeedDemon Crack

FeedDemon Crack 06/18/2004 09:27 AM

Dave Winer and Evan Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:

"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even test this s---?"

I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post) about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.

That's right, people who use a pirated version of FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager would write.

I've written about piracy befor e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked versions of my work: don't ask for support. I support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected - dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug" 06/19/2004 04:52 PM

Fifteen of us gathered last night for a screening of the 1992 Tim Robbins political satire Bo b Roberts.  This mockumentary of a folksinging conservative Wall Street trader turned politician has held up surprisingly well.  In the background of the movie, President Bush is in the White House and American troops are about to invade Iraq.  Gore Vidal does a great job playing a Ted Kennedy-style career senator.  The songs are fun but sadly the soundtrack has never been made available.

My favorite part of the movie is when Bob Roberts closes a letter to a 7-year-old girl in Vermont with the admonition "Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug."

This is the perfect movie for an election-year party.

They can't play their classical Fado guitars very well; they have a punky drummer and the Fado singer not only smiles pouts and shakes her hips, but actually seems to enjoy herself! What's become of this country? Are they mad? Reckless, certainly. They call themselves A Naifa and what they've done is taken a massive, ice-crunching Waring Pro blender to all the sacred potions, fruits and flavours of Portuguese traditional music and poured out a vulgar, shameless, disrespectful and utterly delicious shambles of a Pop cocktail. Heresy in old Lisbon? I nearly choked on my 30-year-old aguardente velha, but then realized I was dancing merrily and had already spilt most of it anyway.

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best. Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little better than this: The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_] Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok, not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation. Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version. Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I don't have a clue there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.
