Bush Social Security Plan Proves Tough
Sell Among Working Poor
(washingtonpost.com) 04/18/2005 02:42 PM
washingtonpost.com - Brenda Ellis's day begins at 6:30 a.m., when she rousts her 11-year-old son, Imani, from bed, hustles him into the kitchen for breakfast and to the school bus by 7. Tianna, 13, and Dikia, 17, quickly follow. Then she's off, some days to a substitute-teaching job in Prince George's County, others to tax clinics for the working poor, where she is earning credit for a hoped-for career in accounting.

Asono Play Ditches the Screen

Asono Play Ditches the Screen 06/24/2005 04:01 PM

Asono has released a tweaked version of their 'Mica' wearable MP3 player. Called the 'Play,' the unit is almost exactly the same as the Mica—it still looks like a little handbag—but the LCD screen on the bottom of the Mica has been replaced with two, iPod shuffle-like lights at the bottom in the Play. Navigation is don't through sound, including (they say), searching of folders and EQ adjustment. I can't imagine how'd they allow folder search with two LEDs and some beeps, but I didn't think you could build furniture out of sawdust, either, and the Scandinavians proved me wrong.

The French government has put its money where its mouth is and announced a deal to replace 1,500 copies of Microsoft NT server with home-grown open source Linux software from Mandrake. Several government departments, such as the Ministry of Culture, already use MandrakeLinux. But it recently said it was considering expanding its use of open source software. The Civil Service Minister Renaud Dutreil was quoted as saying 'the competition is open,' between Microsoft and Linux.

RIAA Ditches Meaningless Amnesty Program

RIAA Ditches Meaningless Amnesty Program 04/19/2004 09:57 PM
Last fall, before the RIAA actually started suing people for sharing unauthorized music files, they offered their amnesty program, which basically said if you 'fessed up to sharing music and removed those files immediately, they probably wouldn't sue you. Of course, they couldn't guarantee that the actual copyright holders wouldn't sue - and in admitting guilt to the RIAA some felt that people would actually open themselves up to more liability for exactly that reason. In fact, even a US Senator, Norm Coleman, told people not to fall for the program and some people filed a lawsuit against the program, saying that it was deceptive. Well, now the RIAA (as they've been known to do) has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed because they've recently canceled the amnesty program. Of course, that makes you wonder. Is it okay to offer a "deceptive" program for a few months, and then ask that lawsuits against it are dropped once you stop? Doesn't that just encourage more temporary deceptive programs? The article also notes, by the way, that over 1,100 people actually signed up to request such not-really-amnesty. The RIAA promises that they'll continue to not sue those individuals, though, they still can't make the same promise for the actual copyright holders.

"Re-elect George W. Bush" plane ditches
in Florida

"Re-elect George W. Bush" plane ditches
in Florida 12/17/2004 06:35 PM
A huge twin-engine turboprop (jet-powered propeller) Convair 340 cargo plane with a max take-off weight of 47,000 lbs. ditched in a Florida lake.  The pilots swam away unharmed.  The photos of the incident are interesting because they show "Re-elect George W. Bush" painted across the entire length of the fuselage.  Supposedly this was caused when one engine failed and the pilots were unable to hold altitude so decided to land in the lake rather than on top of some houses.  If true, this is consistent with the old pilot adage about twin-engine planes that "the second engine carries you to the scene of the accident".

VA Ditches Half A Billion Dollar Useless
Computing System

VA Ditches Half A Billion Dollar Useless
Computing System 07/28/2004 04:22 AM
Last week, we noted some of the probl ems the Federal Technology Service was having getting their very expensive computer system to actually work (it had something to do with not actually training people to use it) that was causing all sorts of delays and problems (including crying employees). Not surprisingly, this isn't the only example of completely wasteful spending on large computing systems from government agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs has now announced plans to ditch their $472 million computer system that was designed to be used in VA hospitals across the country. Luckily, it appears that they have not yet spent all of that money, as this particular installment was just a test at one location in Florida. Now, however, the hospital is switching back to their old computer system. Problems with the system meant a shortage of surgical supplies and delayed operations (ouch). Once again, a lack of real training seems to be part of the problem. Even worse, there are reports that BearingPoint, who build the system received an extra $200,000 for finishing the project "on time." Of course, in order to finish it on time, they skipped that whole pesky training part. Just one example of poorly designed "incentives" for projects.
