Retired Congressman Al Smith testified on the DMCRA, Rep Boucher's bill to reform copyright. Smith's been home-taping for 54 years, and he knows what's what:

When I buy a CD or a DVD, that content should be wholly mine to do with as I please as long as I am in no way selling its contents or profiting from it. ... Present law is predicated on the assumption that consumers will rip-off copyright holders. The vast majority are innocent of that assumption, but all are treated as guilty.

AND IT'S FUN 01/07/2005 04:41 AM
Cory Doctorow: Back in the 80s, the music industry came up with its dumbest campaign up to that point: the campaign to convince their customers that taping vinyl, making mix tapes, sharing taped albums with friends, all of that, was a form of theft and would destroy music itself.

They put these "home taping is killing music" graphics on everything from stickers to the sleeves of LPs you bought in the shops. Home taping didn't kill nothin' (turned out to be no more deadly than P2P!).

The media geniuses at Downhill Battle have produced a great tee that recycles the HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC slogan and gilds the lily with this tagline: AND IT'S FUN. I laughed till it hurt. Link (via Preshrunk)

The Truth About Explosive Decompression

The Truth About Explosive Decompression 07/08/2004 12:34 AM

Is it true that if you shoot a bullet through the skin of an airliner in flight, everyone would get sucked out the little hole? If not, Hollywood has a lot of explaining to do.

Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel set out the other night to find out if this was true. The myth is based on the fact that an airliner at 35,000 feet is like a ballon flying through the air — the air pressure on the inside (pushing out against the inside of the plane) is much higher than the ambient air pressue at that altitude.

When you pierce the skin of a ballon with a pin, the whole thing pops. The pressurized air inside the ballon rushes out with such force that it "grabs" the edges of the hole as it leaves and tears the ballon apart in an instant. The same should be true for an airliner, right? And everything in the place should go rushing out the hole, right?

No. Mythbusters proved this wasn't the case, thus proving wrong several dozen action movies and at least one James Bond film. And, true to Mythbuster's style, they proved this point with a veritable tidal wave of geekiness.

They went to an airline graveyard in the Mohave Desert and found an old Hawaiian Airlines 737. They sealed it up, then brought in a massive air compressor and pumped the plane full of air until the difference between the interior of the plane and the air at sea level was the same as it would be if the plane was flying at 35,000 feet.

Now the cool part — inside the plane, they had parked their crash-test dummy, Buster, in a window seat. In the aisle, they rigged up a Glock 9mm to a firing mechanism and pointed it at the hull of the plane. Then, with the plane fully pressurized, they fired the gun remotely.

What happened? Nothing. Sure, the air rushed out, but even styrofoam peanuts they had placed in the aisle didn't move, much less Buster. They did the test a second time, this time firing through the window right next to Buster. Same result — nothing.

Not satisfied (I love it when they're not satisfied...), they rigged explosive cord around the window to simulate the window blowing out due to structural failure. They pressurized the plane again and blew the window.

The results were much more satisying — Buster got his arm yanked out the window. Crash test dummies aren't designed to come apart, but if he were a human, I think he would have lost his arm. However, the rest of his body just wasn't going through the window, no matter what the myth said.

Still not satisifed, Adam and Jamie put a "shaped charge" (whatever that is) against the hull next to Buster's knee. Plane pressurized once again, they blew the charge.

Now, I don't know how much damage was from the charge and how much was from the air rushing out, but the entire roof came off the plane. Buster, beleive it or not, was still belted in his chair, but there was a 20-foot section of the roof missing. That plane was toast, and it looked eerily similar to Aloha Airlines flight 243 that lost its roof in mid-flight back in 1988.

So, myth busted. However, they didn't address one thing: the drop in air pressure caused by the velocity of the air outside the plane. You see, the entire concept of flight is based on the fact that air pressure goes down as the speed of the air goes up.

So when a hole gets blown in the side of the plane, even after all the air rushes out and the pressue of the plane is equal to the ambient air pressue at that altitude, you now have 600 m.p.h. air rushing past the hole, which would have a much lower air pressure than the stationary air inside the plane. Does this make sense to anyone else?

That question aside, this segment proved, one and for all, that Mythbusters ranks right up there with Extreme Engineering and Modern Marvels as God's gift to geeks.

PSP Sees Explosive Sales, 1/2 Million
Units 04/08/2005 10:12 AM
Sony has announced that in the first two days of sales, 500,000 PSPs were sold in America. The PSP, which sells for $249, generated $150m for retailers in the first week.

Sony's PSP is a portable games console, with extra functionality; the PSP is also able to play music and movies. It's slick design and large feature set has proved popular with gamers. The PSP has enjoyed attention recently for the high number of DIY "<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4420745.stm"> hacks</a>"; enterprising owners have made use of the web features, concocting programs that can connect the PSP to websites and IRC chat rooms. The launch has not been without problem, however. Many users have reported dead pixels on units, forcing Sony to offer replacements to dis-satisfied customers.

Released in Japan late in 2004, Sony have so far sold over a 1.5 million units worldwide. The company has delayed the European launch to ensure they're able to match high demand. Analysts hope that the popularity of units like the PSP and rival Nintendo DS will drive growth into the games market this year.

In equal need of growth and success is the PSP's creator, Sony. The company has been criticised for its lack of success in recent years, and for missing the portable media market. Earlier this year, Howard Stringer took over the reigns with hopes of reviving Sony's fortunes. Stringer is the first foreigner in the company’s history to be given the top spot at Sony.

Explosive sink and toilet plunger is a
gift from the gods 08/16/2004 08:18 PM
I went to Home Depot over the weekend to buy two dollar's worth of hardware (pins for door hinges) and walked out with over $100 worth of stuff, of course. My prime pruchase was something called a KleerDrain instant drain opener, which combines the fun of explosives with the satisfaction of unclogging a sink.

I was a little wary of spending $30 on this gadget, which looks like a cross-between a plunger and a pogo stick. But Home Depot had one of those videos running next to the set-up, which showed clogged sink after clogged sink giving up its precious bolus of greasy hair to the explosive force of a CO2 cartridge unleashing its entire payload at once. Watching the guy on the demo using the device, with its rifle-like kickback and puff of condensed carbon dioxide gas, mesmerized me. The next thing I knew, I was racing home with my new KleerDrain.

I could hardly wait to use it on a slow-draining sink in the bathroom. I duct taped the overflow drain on the sink, and inserted a CO2 cartridge into the Kleer Drain. I screwed on the rubber cone and then pressed it into the drain opening.

WHAM! A shower of gray grime flew out of somewhere and splashed against the walls, mirror and ceiling. I wiped the junk off my face and turned on the faucet. The water whooshed down the drain, ending with a nice sucking sound, like it was wishing there were more water it could dispose of.

I think I'm in love. Time to stock up on more CO2 cartridges. Link
