Man builds machine gun out of a power

02/01/2005 09:48 PM
Ten points for ingenuity - zero points for common sense:
Hämeen Sanomat (Finnish, translation mine): "An 80-year old man built a machine gun out of a power drill. As he went to the police to get a license for it, to his great surprise he was charged with a breach of the firearms law. The court decided that he was acting in good faith, so he was found not guilty, but the gun was confiscated, and is likely to end up in a gun museum.

"The weapon uses .22 caliber ammunition and can fire up to 420 rounds/minute."

(Click here to see the gun in action - 4.3 MBytes MPEG-PS. Quicktime does not seem to understand it, but VLC and MPlayer seem to work well. I have no idea who owns the copyright on this (a good reason to embed, say, a CC license to your files), but I'll take it off if someone asks.)

You'll recall, I hope, that in the last issue I almost despaired of finding an answer to the problem of implementing identity projects over the irrational fears of non-technical, even technophobic, people. Most of the replies I'd gotten to the problem stressed the ability of the technology to protect data ownership as well as data security and privacy. We're all aware of that, but we still need to convince people in the enterprise that there is benefit to giving up control of the flow of data.

Finland exports more than just Nokia phones and this short film details the production of the most rare of Finnish exports. The large version [66mb] is worth the download if you have a highspeed connection. Yanks with a hang-up about naked male bums should likely refrain from watching this film. It's utterly delightful and narrated in English. [from PIE.]

Rare Pictographic Manuscripts Online
http://www.managinginformation.com/news/content_show_full.php?i d=2802

The Naxi people of China's Yunnan Province use the only living pictographic language (similar to ancient Egyptian or Mayan writing) in the world today, and the Library of Congress's collection of Naxi manuscripts is considered the finest in the world. One hundred eighty-five documents plus a 392-foot funerary scroll from that collection are now available online in "Selections from the Naxi Manuscript Collection," which can be found under the link "Individual Digital Collections" at http://international.loc.gov/. The Naxi Kingdom flourished from the eighth century until 1724, when it came under Chinese rule. Naxi priests created the manuscripts on coarse, handmade paper, bound them into booklets, and used them while conducting religious rituals and shamanistic ceremonies. The edges of the manuscripts were burned during the ceremonies so that the resulting smoke would transmit the book's message up to the heavens. Because the sacred books were then either buried with the priests when they died or were burned on their funeral pyre, relatively few Naxi manuscripts are known to be in existence. The Library of Congress's collection of 3,342 Naxi items is the largest outside of China and this is the first time that such a large number of Naxi manuscripts have been cataloged, selectively digitized and put on the Web.

Sunbeams, Rare Goats Edition


Sunbeams, Rare Goats Edition 06/18/2004 05:41 PM
First up, a couple of posts on SunRays, from Jeff Dillon and John Clingan. They are indeed pretty neat, although when, earlier this week, I was at SunLabs in Massachusets, it took the little grey guy a couple of minutes to find my Sun desktop which lives in Santa Clara and render it the first time; but then it was fine and snappy. Danese Cooper has a straight forward explanation of why CEOs probably aren’t going to be blogging any time soon. On another note entirely, Jim Waldo writes about the impedence mismatch between how engineers view the world and how the world views engineers. And just to get out of geek mode, Richard Elling has notes on the word “war†and nice pictures of rare goats that he rescued.
