Linux systems now comprise more than
half of world's fastest 500 computers 06/21/2004 07:03 PM
Go back more than a few years ago and Linux had zero representation among the world's fastest supercomputers, which relied on traditional, monolithic mainframe machines running Sparc, HP-UX, Unix or other operating systems. In the last few years, however, the open source operating system has begun dominating the list, thanks to clustering and Intel hardware in the supercomputing market.

Grokster And EFF Get Big Bucks Backer

Grokster And EFF Get Big Bucks Backer 03/28/2005 04:42 PM
Internet Billionare <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban">Mark Cuban</a> has announced his intention to financially support the EFF and Grokster. Cuban, who believes that any ruling could potentially hurt innocent businessmen like himself, announced his plans on his weblog; he said that "the EFF and others came to me and asked if I would finance the legal effort against MGM. I said yes. I would provide them the money they need."

Tomorrow, the US Supreme Court will hear the case of MGM vs. Grokster. Involving more than 28 of the world's biggest media companies, the lawsuit also includes P2P vendors Kazaa and Morpheus and attempts to set a precedent against other uses of p2p technology. Grokster is being defended by the EFF. The case has been brought to the Supreme Court after a lower court ruled in Grokster’s favour, and the media companies appealed.

In a post on Saturday, Cuban remarked that "If Grokster loses, technological innovation might not die, but it will have such a significant price tag associated with it, it will be the domain of the big corporations only." He went onto say that "It wont be a good day when high school entrepreneurs have to get a fairness opinion from a technology oriented law firm to confirm that big music or movie studios wont sue you because they can come up with an angle that makes a judge believe the technology might impact the music business. It will be a sad day when American corporations start to hold their US digital innovations and inventions overseas to protect them from the RIAA, moving important jobs overseas with them."

The EFF plan to use the so called "Betamax" defence. "The copyright law principles set out in the Sony Betamax case have served innovators, copyright industries, and the public well for 20 years," said Fred von Lohmann, EFF's IP attorney. "We at EFF look forward to the Supreme Court reaffirming the applicability of Betamax in the 21st century."

Cat family being photographed depicts cats--dressed and bipedal--enacting a mundane human situation in a Swiss, or, at least, European setting. It is, in other words, your stereotypical Alfred Mainzer Dressed Cats Series postcard. I have collected them in a desultory way over the years but never thought to Google Alfred Mainzer until tonight.*

The Last Leaves of 2004 12/17/2004 06:37 PM
Back in September of last year, I wrote: “There’s a visual effect that I’ve only seen here in rainy green B.C. and has so far eluded all my cameras. It works like this: On a grey day, as dusk gathers, something you’d think would be unremarkable, like a fern against old wood, or these autumnpearleaves, can make you look twice or three times, colour reaching deep into your machineries of vision. I think it’s of the mind rather than the eyes, but haven’t abandoned hope for lucky light on a dark day with camera in hand.” This one gets halfway there...
