abortion tips the voter balance from Democrat to Republican.
That's Larry Eastland's theory.
Abortion has caused missing
Democrats--and missing liberals. For advocates so fundamentally
committed to changing the face of conservative America, liberals have
been remarkably blind to the fact that every day the abortions they
advocate dramatically decrease their power to do so. fascinating backgrounder on the grey

Gaming Hacks, comprehensive, fascinating
and eclectic
Gaming Hacks, comprehensive, fascinating
and eclectic
12/31/2004 08:23 AMCory Doctorow:
I just finished reading Simon Carless's Gaming Hacks, one of the
latest O'Reilly Hacks books, and I can't remember when I've had more
engrossing fun with a technical book.
Like all the hacks books, Gaming Hacks is arranged around 100 "hacks"
-- tricks you can use to get more from gaming. They proceed from the
simple to the hellishly complex, so there's something here for
everyone.
That's even more true than is usual in the Hacks series, though,
because of Carless's incredible, comprehensive, eclectic view of the
kinds of hacks that might interest a gamer. Here are some of my
favorites:
- How to hack an old Atari 2600 controller: rehabilitate your old
paddles without WD40, then splice them into a modern PC (also: how to
download, play and write "homebrew" games for the 2600 and other
boat-anchor platforms that are produced by console aficionados who
enjoy the challenge of programming for 8-bit, minimal-RAM game
environments)
- Roll your own "machinima" -- movies made by recording the action
taking place in a game environment, then dubbing in studio-recorded
voices
- Learn to read enough Japanese to play grey-market games imported
from Japan
- Create your own scripts for automating repetitive "grinding"
tasks in massively multiplayer games
- Etiquette for joining adventuring parties in MMOs
- Detect and foil cheaters in networked first-person shooter games
- Build a killer home theatre audio setup to maximize your game
platform's 3D sound
- Build a portable device out of an old console, like the NES
- Overclock your console
This gives you a flavor for the book's subject-matter, but it doesn't
convey wonderful prose style: Carless writes like a great, fetishistic
geek, like the Car Talk guys or the folks on The Screensavers, like
someone who's really, really enthusiastic about his subject matter and
wants to wise you up to all the truly awesome wonders awaiting you.
Combine that with a stupendous introduction by
sf-writer-turned-game-writer Marc Laidlaw, who wrote the Half-Life
series for Valve, and a slew of highly knowledgeable co-authors who
contributed various tips, and you've got the perfect mix of
informative, enjoyable and fascinating. This book is staying on my
shelf.

Jobs. And I have to say he has the best taste in product design, the
best abaility as a one-on-one technical manager, and the greatest

need of any American industralist, ever. By Robert X. Cringely,

Buy a Piece of Big Mac
Buy a Piece of Big Mac
02/12/2004 03:40 PMYou can now buy a piece of the history-making Virginia Tech
Supercomputer. MacMall is selling
refurbished Apple G5 computers that came from Virginia Tech.
In my opinion the Apple-refurbished systems are priced a bit high at
$2799, which is only $200 less than a new G5, but they do come with
1GB of memory (instead of the standard 512MB), plus a little
history.
You'll recall that in June of 2003, VT made history by linking 1100
2MHz Dual Processor G5's together to create a low-cost supercomputer,
known as System X (but nicknamed Big Mac.) System X made a big splash
in the technical world by coming in third in the list of the Top 500 Supercomputers, and making
it there at a fraction of the cost of many of the other entries on
that list... System X cost a mere $7 million, compared to $250 million
for the Japanese Earth Simulator Center's NEC-built 5120-CPU rig and
$215 million for the Los Alamos National Laboratory's 8192-chip
AlphaServer-based ASCI-Q machine.
Last month Virginia Tech took delivery of 1100 new xServe G5's to replace the
original G5 towers. The xServes will benefit the project by yielding
the same horsepower but only taking up 1 unit of rack space, requiring
only 1000 square feet of space compared to the 3000 used by the
original System X. The xServes also run cooler and have a lower power
usage, which should save VT a bundle on electricity and cooling.

My NYT Mag piece on robots
My NYT Mag piece on robots
11/15/2003 02:18 PMI wrote a piece on home robotics for the New York Times Magazine as
part of a
section on Home Automation with contributions from James
Gleick, Paul Boutin, Clive Thompson and others; it shipped today:
Home robots were the jet-pack future's sweetest lie: personal
assistants working tirelessly and without complaint -- companions,
servants and pets. They would be nimble and able, and computers would
be blinking omniscient behemoths.
How wrong they were. Just as millions of users defied the first
engineers' narrow visions of what a home computer could be, and
figured out how to make PC's bend to their will, the cheapness and
flexibility of commodity computer components are now enabling a new
hobbyist revolution in home robotics. C.P.U.'s -- the brains of a PC
-- are cheap like borscht, and the sensors that allow computers to
see, hear, feel and smell have likewise plummeted in cost. (Pinhead
digital cameras, for example, are so cheap these days that it's hard
to find a pocket-size gizmo that doesn't have one built in.) All it
takes to turn these pieces into a robot is packaging the brains and
the senses atop a mobile platform and stirring in some clever code.

MSNBC piece
MSNBC piece
04/13/2005 05:29 PMThis is what I wrote out, intending to jarvis it on MSNBC this
afternoon. I'm not sure what I actually said. There's been a fair bit
of discussion about the fact that tech conferences, for all their good
intentions, haven't been able to attract enough women onto panels or
into the audience. So a group of women bloggers have started a
conference, called Blogher, July 30 in Santa Clara. One of the
contributors to the Blogher blog, Surfette, or Lisa Stone, says that
the conference is being organized as a do-ocracy - you want a topic on
the schedule, then...
