Iraq or bust!

Baghdad or Bust

Baghdad or Bust 02/01/2005 09:24 PM
It’s said that Iraq is a colonial artifact, a paint-by-numbers nation of dissimilar parts: non-Arab Kurds in the north, Sunni Arabs in the middle, majority Shi‘a Arabs in the south. The end of World War I found Western powers in control of formerly Ottoman Turk lands in the Middle East. Colonial administration and the eventual withdrawal of Westerners (Britain, in the case of Iraq) left phony national borders that served the occupiers' whimsy or...

Bar code bust 12/31/2004 10:26 AM
David Pescovitz: Two couples in Nashville were busted this week for printing out their own UPC bar codes and slapping them on products in Wal-Mart and other stores to lower prices. Allegedly, they were part of a larger ring in 19 states that over the last decade would buy the, er, "discounted" items and later sell the goods or return them in exchange for gift cards that they'd also peddle. Authorities say that the scheme defrauded Wal-Mart alone of $1.5 million. Link

To Boston by bus or bust

To Boston by bus or bust 05/11/2004 01:22 PM

Usually when I go home to Boston to visit my family, I spring for the Acela train because you get guaranteed seating and it's fairly fast (~3.5 hours). But it's also very expensive, nearly $200 round-trip. So this past weekend I resorted to my old friend, the Peter Pan bus. And would you believe it, if you purchase your ticket online in advance (all you seem to need is one day before you depart), it's $30 round-trip. $30! Ok, they stick you with a $4 fee for "will call pick-up" but still, that's nearly six trips to Boston for the price of one train trip. And both ways, my journey was four hours exactly. Sure, it wasn't as pleasant as the train, and there's no plug for your laptop, and they showed the movie The Recruit both ways, but what do you expect for that price? I'm going to take the bus more often, I just can't resist a bargain!

CAN-SPAM Big Bust

CAN-SPAM Big Bust 08/06/2004 06:04 AM
MX Logic, a firm who has been tracking CAN-SPAM complience, says, "Get a good spam filter, because despite federal law, it's not going away anytime soon."

The numbers don't lie: CAN-SPAM is a bust. Compliance with CAN-SPAM has fallen to a new low, according to recent data collected by MX Logic.

In July, compliance fell for the first time under one percent to a measly 0.54 percent of all unsolicited commercial mail the company sampled during the month.

The Denver-based firm has been tracking compliance with CAN-SPAM since the federal law went on the books in January. Through April, MX Logic's numbers remained stable, with about three percent of spam messages complying with the law's requirements, which range from verifiable return addresses to measures consumers and businesses can use to opt out of mailing lists. In May and June, however, the number slipped to one percent.

"Now it's been halved," said Steve Ruskin, a senior analyst at MX Logic. "No one's really sure what's going on, but it's clear that CAN-SPAM isn't a threat to spammers. They're just ignoring it."

Time to bust some patents

Time to bust some patents 05/27/2004 03:14 PM

Clear Channel Finds Another Way to Abuse Artists: Patents. The company recently bought a patent for recording a CD of a concert immediately after the show. A profitable, artist-empowering industry currently uses the technology, but Clear Channel plans to enforce its patents across and beyond its 130 U.S. venues. [EFF: Mini Links]

OK - so this is a clear opportunity for someone (EFF?) to bus these dam patents.

This one - claiming that you can't record a show and burn a CD - most probably has plenty of prior art/usage on it.  You telling me that NO ONE recorded a show and burned it - before this patent was applied for?

I bet not.

I bet there are folks back at the JVC labs in Kamakura who were recording shows and burning CDs as far back as 1984-5.  I was in an impromtu show at the JVC labs in 1987 that was then turned into a CD, and they told me they had been doing for a while.  When was this patent applied for?

The Global Baby Bust

The Global Baby Bust 12/28/2004 07:38 PM
The Global Baby Bust Summary: Most people think overpopulation is one of the worst dangers facing the globe. In fact, the opposite is true. As countries get richer, their populations age and their birthrates plummet. And this is not just a problem of rich countries: the developing world is also getting older fast. Falling birthrates might seem beneficial, but the economic and social price is too steep to pay. The right policies could help turn the tide, but only if enacted before it's too late.
