NT-based system (specifically, Windows XP Pro, but that shouldn't
matter) over the LAN directly from a Linux box without the use of
remote control?

07/19/2004 04:22 AMWhen Ireland's leading bank, Allied Irish Bank (AIB), last month
disclosed that it was disposing of the Windows PCs that its tellers
used on their desktops in favor of Linux-based terminals, experts said
it demonstrated that an IT insurgency is emerging in the financial
services sector. Linux is finally proving itself on the desktop in the
financial industry, where cost-conscious executives want powerful
performance at an affordable price.

This item should not contain forbidden
speech
06/22/2005 01:54 AMRemember Microsoft's marketing blitz for Windows, when they asked,
"Where do you want to go today?" Apparently, they didn't mean China.
At least not without a thorough baggage search. And, perhaps a
Communist Party membership card.
It seems that along with the viruses and bugs that plaque the Windows
operating system throughout the United States, Chinese users have a
whole other set of barricades to work around when surfing the net or
logging their thoughts online.
Microsoft has taken to following in the steps of Yahoo! and Google —
who each succumbed to the pressures of the Chinese government and
censored their search engines from displaying "illegal" or
"subversive" sites, and skewed results to reflect only those
sympathetic to the government. For example, searching for "Free Tibet"
produces no results, while a search for "independence Taiwan" shows
only sites which are critical of the country’s government, not its
oppressive neighbor, according to reports.
Microsoft's efforts to censor the Chinese public are a bit more
egregious, however. BBC reports that the computer giant has gone as
far as censoring thoughts, along with information: "Weblog entries on
some parts of Microsoft's MSN site in China using words such as
'freedom,' 'democracy' and 'demonstration' are being blocked.
"Those using these banned words or writing entries that are
pornographic or contain sensitive information get a pop-up warning
that reads: 'This message contains a banned expression, please delete
this expression,'" the report adds.
I've never really been one to buy into the whole dark side argument.
Just because a company has a near-monopoly on its particular niche
doesn't necessarily make it evil. But censorship and aligning itself
with an oppressive regime, giving into political pressure to make a
few extra bucks and deliberately sacrificing ethics for market share
dominance most certainly does.
But perhaps it's not entirely Microsoft’s fault. After all, they have
an obligation to bring its product to all countries of the world, and
as the company says, it "abides by the laws and regulations of each
country in which it operates." Money and shareholders have the
ultimate say, and ethics can hardly compete with the almighty dollar,
especially in such a heavily populated regime, despite its system of
government.
But on the other hand, China needs Microsoft, too, perhaps just as
much. So, couldn't Bill Gates order his overseas counterparts to stand
up to an oppressive regime, one which doesn't just censor, but also
punishes supposed wrong-doers for publishing such forbidden verbiage?
According to the Taipei Times, a Chinese journalist who wrote against
corruption recently "was beaten and had some fingers hacked off. That
writer will never type again. Another received a long prison sentence,
just for sending an e-mail."
It's a vicious regime, and Microsoft has played right into it,
mindlessly falling in line when apparently threatened with a boycott.
The Internet is one of the greatest communication tools available and
should be treated as such. With a simple no, Microsoft could have
solidified that universal doctrine and solidified the Web as a bastion
of truth and free speech,
Instead, for one corner of the world, it's been made far less
worldwide.

Varied feed polling times versus item
urgency in aggregators
Varied feed polling times versus item
urgency in aggregators
12/02/2003 12:28 AMThe
problem with varying the polling interval is that the need varies.
It's ok not to poll my little opensource website within 24 hours, but
what about the announcements to the civil defence website or local
municipal environment alerts, or the nuclear power plant news feed?
Definitely a good point there. For most of the feeds in my daily
habit, what I use is an AIMD variation on my polling frequency per
feed based on occurrence of new items. For feeds with low-frequency
but high-urgency items, a different algorithm should come into play.
On the other hand... should incoming alerts with that much urgency
really be conveyed via an architecture driven by polling? Here's an
excellent case for tying instant messaging systems and pub/sub into
the works.
