But that tool may provide little or no protection against scores of other programs that quietly circulated online for weeks before Sasser garnered widespread attention.

DVD to watch on 50th anniversary of
Normandy invasion

DVD to watch on 50th anniversary of
Normandy invasion 06/09/2004 12:35 PM

Stuck at home for the last couple of days with a sore throat and earache and catching up on my TV viewing...  Just finished "E ye of Vichy", a 1993 collection of newsreels produced in France during the period of the Vichy French government.  As the victors we've tended to write the history of World War II and forget that not everyone was unhappy in the France of 1940-44.

The film is a chronological assemblage of newsreels with a touch of commentary but mostly just subtitled translation.  Occupation and surrender initially usher in a great wave of optimism.  The French dream of a unified Europe from Japan through Siberia and west to the shores of France and Spain.  (Remember that at the time of the German invasion the Soviets and Germans were allies).  It was upsetting to have lost the war in a matter of weeks but the future of European union looked bright.

For the speakers featured in the newsreels "collaboration" is a good word.  They are proud of the millions of Frenchmen working in Germany, fighting in the German army (mostly on the Russian front), and building military hardware for the German army.  Cheerful young people are shown leaving France on special trains to take up apprenticeships in German firms where they are then shown alongside cheerful helpful German workers.  A narrator notes that France contributed more labor and war production to Germany than any other country; invading France really seems to have been one of Hitler's best ideas.

The Jews come in for a bit of beating in these newsreels as you might expect.  Jews are compared to rats as a danger to the human race.  They are cowardly but are still dangerous due to their "superior numbers".  [This is an odd claim considering that French Jews numbered only about 225,000 in 1933, less than one percent of the total French population. For an explanation of how any of these Jews survived the war, see this review of the book IBM and the Holocaust]

As in German films of the same era the final year of the war brings a lot of sad coverage of bombed-out homes and cities.  The British and American air forces are the villains here, of course, bombing the innocent civilians that they were hypocritically claiming to be saving.  There is a clever animated film in which airplanes piloted by Disney characters drop "Made in USA" bombs on the home of some French suburbanites who'd been chatting about how much they were looking forward to liberation by the English and all of the beloved foods they'd be able to eat again as well as the English cigarettes that they'd be smoking.

If you're a World War II buff this is worth seeing because of the 50th anniversary of Normandy.  If you're an imperialist it might be worth seeing as an example of how to make invading and occupying a country pay off big time economically (cf. American invasion of Iraq 2003 for what not to do).

The Digital Music Doctor has released a new analysis which assesses the attempts of two pro audio software leaders, Cakewalk Sonar and Steinberg Cubase, to make inroads into the loop composition software market. Sonic Foundry Acid (since acquired by Sony) defined that market when it was released in 1998 and remains the leader. However, recently Sonar and Cubase have been moving aggressively to make inroads into that space. [PRWEB Apr 6, 2005]

Snapshots of volunteer "Minutemen" on
US/Mexico border 04/15/2005 11:59 AM
Xeni Jardin:
Investigative reporter and Boing Boing pal Mark Ebner spent last week embedded with the "Minutemen" in and around Tombstone, Arizona. For those unfamiliar with US/Mexico border politics, these are the volunteer border patrol militias comprised of heavily armed, grumpy-looking white people who have self-organized to stem the flood of wannabe janitors, dishwashers, and nannies who threaten our national security. Ebner's report will appear in Globe magazine next week, available at your grocery check-out stand. Meanwhile, enjoy the new face of Homeland Security!

Y para nuestros estimados lectores hispanohablantes: aquí les presento unas imagenes de los pendejos racistas en Arizona que se creen soldados. El fenómeno me preocupa mucho. No puedo ver ninguna diferencia entre esto y los "lynch mobs" de antaño en el sur en mi país. Ojalá que el resultado no sea tan sangriento, pero si ellos tienen el apoyo del gobierno y del ambiente político del momento -- pues, yo no creo que puede ser una cosa buena para los derechos civiles de la gente en cualquier lado de la frontera. Gracias a Mark Ebner, periodista y amigo de Boing Boing, por los fotos. Su reportaje será publicado en El Globe la próxima semana.

The total amount of vouchers issued will depend on the number of class members who claim vouchers, and the maximum value of the vouchers that may be issued to class members will be $31.5 million.

Things that I have seen in Mexico so far

Things that I have seen in Mexico so far 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Here are some random things that I have observed so far on this trip to Mexico:

• eight Mexicans speaking English to each other all night at a dinner party so that their one American guest (me) would not feel left out
• a family gathered around the grave of a loved one offering me a drink of whiskey
• families staying up all night with musicians and refreshments
• two Japanese tourists, complete with nametags and three cameras, marching in Santa Maria del Tule's "Parade of Death"
• three tall white Americans dressed by REI and bedizened with cameras in a small village's graveyard saying "we're not tourists, we're photographers"
• tens of thousands of flowers for sale in an open-air market with upbeat Latin music playing
• enormous banners hanging from the sides of churches and cathedrals arguing against the legalization of abortion (abortion is currently illegal in Mexico but if you have USD$3000 you can get breast augmentation, laser hair removal, Viagra ("30% off" according to the big signs in Oaxacan pharmacies), and a procedure in a discreet private clinic)
• Spanish-speakers cringing in pain when I pronounce Oaxaca "Oh-axe-a-ka" (to be consistent with the English pronunciation of a hard "ex" in "Mexico")
• multi-acre downtown cactus garden from the balcony of one of the world's best prehispanic art museums
• a brass band playing and costumed locals dancing for hours underneath the balcony next to my restaurant table on the main square in Oaxaca

In addition to seeing a lot of interesting and fun things I found a good job to apply for once I get my commercial helicopter rating.  It seems that on the north shores of the Hawaiian islands there are surfers who pay to be dropped from a helicopter into the middle of a swell.  From there they get onto a jetski and are towed to the top of the 18-24 foot waves that are typical in the Hawaiian winter.  One would need an endorsement to be legal to carry surfboards externally strapped to the helicopter skids but otherwise it didn't sound too challenging and you'd be meeting cool people all day.

Some pictures from Mexico City

Some pictures from Mexico City 01/07/2004 04:22 PM

http: //www.photo.net/philg/digiphotos/200311-mexico-city/ contains some snapshots from the recent trip to Mexico City.  I'm trying to travel light these days, which means no laptop and no camera.  For this trip I borrowed a Casio Exilim EX-Z3, a truly tiny 3 MP camera.  As you can see the results are fairly dismal.  I attribute the poor results to the lack of a decent viewfinder in point and shoot cameras.  You can't see what you're photographing.  The little viewfinder window is tiny on the Casio and highly inaccurate.  You don't know whether or not the camera has focussed properly.  Plus of course there are a lot of weird modes in which you can get the camera.

On the plus side the Casio is only about the size of a Palm organizer and barely heavier so you truly can take it with you everywhere.  I don't think I'll buy one, though.  The smallest Canons are larger but seem less compromised as photographic machines.
