The intern strikes back

The intern strikes back 06/02/2004 03:23 PM
The intern accused of having an affair with Kerry does some investigative reporting of her own.

And so my education had taken me pretty much as far as it could. I started out as an ambitious young woman inspired by politics and the media. I’ve ended up disenchanted with both. If I had been an ambitious young man, this story would not have happened. I’m never going to know exactly what happened, but that matters less to me now. I lost a good friend and learned a few lessons. I am struck by the pitiful state of political reporting, which is dominated by the unholy alliance of opposition research and its latest tool, the Internet. Even the Wall Street Journal’s Website ran Drudge’s story, with only a brief disclaimer that his stories weren’t always accurate.

It was important for me to set the record straight. I don’t mean to dredge up old news by writing this, and I’m not trying to create any now, though I’m not unaware of the irony that I am adding to the ink spilled on this story. I don’t intend to discuss it again in public either. But for me, this painful experience will be hard to forget. It may be only a minor footnote to the campaign, but it has changed my life completely.

Intel strikes back with Nocona

Intel strikes back with Nocona 08/02/2004 03:54 PM
Infatuated with Itanium, Intel has long resisted the obvious: creating a 64-bit chip that simply extends the x86 architecture on which the company built its fortune. Instead, Intel has ceded that ground to AMD, whose 64-bit, x86-compatible Opteron has steadily eaten into the market shares of both Itanium and the 32-bit Xeon throughout the past year. For many, Itanium has been too expensive and too much of a departure. And Xeon has lacked the 64-bit headroom provided by Opteron.

The game changed in late June when Intel introduced its newest Xeon processor, code-named Nocona. Intel unveiled the most recent arrival in its storied Xeon processor line with little fanfare, but in fact, it’s a major departure given that Intel has actually adapted the x86-64 instruction set that AMD developed for the Opteron. Intel’s new architecture, the EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology), brings a Xeon chip into direct competition with the Opteron for the first time.

Responding to Spammers -- The Internet
Strikes Back 11/05/2003 10:55 AM
One of the things that I live my life according to is the question: "What would happen if everybody did this?". This is one of the reasons why I would never spam.. If everybody did that, we would end up with, well, the situation we've got with spam. Today, I got so fed up with the spam I've been receiving (I'm up to about 300 spams a day now), that I picked two random spams, went to their web sites and typed in random data into their forms. One of those sites was even kind enough to respond with a toll free number that I could use if I was overly eager to talk to them ( 1-866-561-9216 -- inaccessible from Canada). Then I asked myself my recurring question "What if everybody did this?". I liked the answer. We've been going about it all wrong. We need to start responding to spam.

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back 04/03/2005 09:53 PM

I know it's kind of pointless to review some of the most re/viewed movies in history, but I'm working my way through the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD and I haven't seen them in awhile, so I'm putting down some thoughts anyway.

Something that struck me while watching Empire is that every time I see a Star Wars film, I catch something I missed the previous 50 times. I generally chalk this up to my not paying close enough attention or forgetting that I actually caught it the last time around**. But I also think, begrudgingly, that Lucas is a little smarter than I give him credit for and the first three movies are more complex than they seem.

The novel thing this time around for me occurred during Luke and Vader's first meeting in Cloud City. I never noticed that Vader isn't trying to turn Luke to the Dark Side to join him and the Emperor. He wants Luke to help him overthrow the Emperor and they'll rule as father and son. And then that sets up all sorts of weird shifting alliances and intrigue between the three of them...the Emperor is trying to play Vader and Luke off of each other, Vader is trying to keep his true goal a secret from the Emperor and might have to kill Luke to do so, and Luke's trying to fend off both of them and keep his own secrets (Yoda, his sister). I mean, it's not The Godfather, but it's not bad.

** This happens to me all the time, especially with shows like Law & Order. I can't remember a single episode from start to finish, which means I can watch them over and over again and always be surprised about what happens at the end.

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back 05/07/2004 10:49 AM
Following up on yesterday's post about NBC's apparent attempts to b0rk potential TiVoers of the Friends finale, BoingBoing reader Douglas Clark says,

I am a loyal Tivo user and Tivo did send out a message alert to users about the Friends episode. It was more along the lines of "if you manually extend the time of a recording, you may miss the beginning of the friends final episode." I find that Tivo is pretty good about catching unusual start times and other wonky tricks the networks play. The previous comment about HUT and ratings was right on the money...

Link to previous BoingBoing post.

Tech maven Meg Hourihan adds, "Even weirder is that I got a message on my Tivo warning me that the finale of Friends would have abnormal times. The message warned that if I wasn't just using the automatic "start on time" and "end on time" settings (i.e. I manually set the start time as 8 PM) that I might miss some. What makes things weirder and worse is that Tivo still didn't record the whole show! I made sure my settings were what the message instructed, and happened to watch the show live. Tivo kicked in to record at 8:59 PM (which is what it listed the start time as) but stopped at 9:59! According to the time on my digital cable box, the program didn't end until 10:03 PM. So if I hadn't watched it live, I would have missed the last four minutes. Seems like a major screw-up on Tivo's part, especially after sending out that message!"

Telus Mobility to Use Tatara System

Telus Mobility to Use Tatara System 12/10/2003 03:06 PM
This press release doesn't explain what exactly is going on here: But I spoke with folks at Tatara a couple months ago and the product sounds pretty good. On the face of it, Tatara looks like another provider of a single-sign on solution for hotspot operators. But it's the backend that's really cool. Tatara is really designed for a big operator like a T-Mobile that has other networks. The platform ties into the operator's backend systems like billing and customer service. It also detects presence. Here's an example of why all that is good. Let's say a customer is online in a hotspot of a roaming partner of her hotspot operator. If she's having technical problems she can call customer care for her operator which will have access not only to which hotspot she's connected to but also specific information about her connection. Because the system detects the data rate a user gets, the operator can also decide to offer a varied billing structure where customers pay depending on the data rate they're getting. Also, an operator that may also have a cell phone network, for example, can integrate services across the networks. So a cell phone user will be able to get presence information about a friend logged onto a hotspot and send an instant message to the friend....
