Senator Induces Support for Piracy Bill
(washingtonpost.com) 07/22/2004 08:26 PM
washingtonpost.com - Congress must pass legislation this year that would effectively drive online digital music swapping companies out of business, a key U.S. senator said today in one of the strongest statements yet in support of the recording industry's campaign to prop up sagging sales in the face of rampant Internet music piracy.

Canadian Copyright Board allows
downloads, copyright levies

Canadian Copyright Board allows
downloads, copyright levies 12/14/2003 12:27 PM

The Copyright Board of Canada issued a ruling on " private copying ", largely via peer-to-peer computing, with several components. First, downloading is acceptable, but uploading is not (presumably to target hyperpirates). Second, new mechanisms for levies were described, freezing current ones, allowing new charges.

the Copyright Board said uploading or distributing copyrighted works online appeared to be prohibited under current Canadian law. However, the country's copyright law does allow making a copy for personal use and does not address the source of that copy or whether the original has to be an authorized or noninfringing version, the board said.

One less worry in life

One less worry in life 02/01/2005 08:45 PM

I'm an adult now and I have a home and savings and have all my bills in check, but I can never forget what it was like being 18 with my first bank account, back when using an ATM was like playing roulette (and like any form of gambling, I walked away empty handed more often than with any cash). So even though it's been ten years since I've left an ATM empty handed, I can't get an irrational thought out of my head every time I use an ATM: that I'm surprisingly and suddenly dead broke. It's sort of an adult version of the "waking up naked at the exam" nightmare I used to have in college.

Until now. I was poking around my small town credit union website and discovered a new alert feature, where they send an email based on your account activity. So I setup an automatic email that goes to my cellphone's email address when the checking account is below a fairly comfortable level. The feeling didn't leave immediately the next time I used an ATM, but after I saw the feature work when a bunch of bills went through, I now know that it is instantly wired to my bank balance, even when I'm far from a computer.

A lot of stuff I've read about simplifying your life involves removing all those little irrational worries that clog your thoughts and keep you from getting things done and living happy. In addition to this small thing, I've been to the dentist for the first time in years and removed the other big irrational fear that my teeth would fall out any day now. It's been nice to remove these worries from my life forever, as I've got a whole bunch of new worries lined up to deal with. :)

Now We Need To Worry About VoIP Spam

Now We Need To Worry About VoIP Spam 06/25/2004 12:11 PM
We're still trying to beat down spam, and people have been getting increasingly worried about IM spam and SMS spam, and all of a sudden one company is warning us that the rush to VoIP systems may lead to VoIP spam. In other words, once VoIP is just an app on the network, it shouldn't be all that difficult for someone to write a script that would basically spam a voice message to millions of VoIP systems. Of course, the company discussing this problem is bringing it up because they've now patented a solution that they claim will stop VoIP spam. All this really means is they've made clear the technique that future VoIP spammers are now figuring out how to work around.

Edinburgh Learns to Worry about Wi-Fi

Edinburgh Learns to Worry about Wi-Fi 02/11/2004 10:56 AM
Another entry in an endless series of "Wi-Fi security risk" articles, this time from Edinburgh, Scotland: This article is only slightly sensational, which might result from the reporter having heard these claims for the first time about the risks of a wireless network. But they're not too far off the mark. The biggest problem in articles that cite the number of "open" access points, as a reader recently pointed out to me, is that unless you connect to the point and probe, you can't tell whether the gateway is inside or outside a firewall or has other restrictions....

Dan Koster, Web content manager for Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina, became a minor celebrity last spring when he reported that 15-20% of the 2,000 CDs in his properly stored collection suffered from what has loosely been called CD rot and would no longer play. As people entrust more and more of their valuable records -- everything from tax forms to family photos -- to digital media, the idea that those reliable-looking CDs and DVDs could be, well, less than reliable, is alarming. And history tells us that even if the media hold up, the technology needed to retrieve the files may not always be there. When was the last time you used a reel-to-reel tape player? Accelerated aging tests conducted by the Library of Congress and National Institute of Standards and Technology demonstrate that the poorest-quality CDs may last only four or five years; the best, more than 100. Consumers can hedge their bets by keeping hard copy printouts of valuable documents and uploading photos to online archiving services, but in the end, the simple truth is that nothing lasts forever.

What IPv9 Is Either

Don't Worry, Many In China Have No Clue
What IPv9 Is Either 07/06/2004 12:15 PM
Last week, a variety of stories started appearing suggesting that China was adopting a new internet protocol standard called IPv9. While many in the press just went with the report, just about everyone who knew anything about this were left scratching their heads wondering just what the hell IPv9 was. It wouldn't be the first time China decided to "go it alone" when it came to internet standards. Recently there was a big international and diplomatic stink over China's decision to use their very own, completely incompatible WiFi standard that had many WiFi equipment providers threatening to completely ignore the huge Chinese market out of fear for their intellectual property (which they would need to share with a Chinese "partner" to help them build WAPI-compliant equipment). China is also trying (with questionable success) to go it alone with their own 3G wireless standard, while the rest of the world follows one of two standard upgrade paths. So, when the whole concept of IPv9 started making news, it was easy to assume that perhaps China had done it again. However, now reports are coming out that, even in China, ma ny have no idea about IPv9 and suggest that it's really just a concept being pushed by one research group in China, rather than any real adopted standard at this point.

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whini ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize that going to the movies is a social experience. It's not just about the content (though, that is important), but the overall experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go -- even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that story pointed to an article in China noting that this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done. After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience, putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

New Federal Budget Proposal

New Federal Budget Proposal 03/13/2003 12:58 PM
“Class warfare turns out to be alive,” Center director Robert Greenstein commented. “It is a centerpiece of the Nussle budget, with deep budget cuts that could harshly affect the poor, the vulnerable, and many middle-class Americans, alongside lavish tax cuts for the nation’s richest individuals. With this budget, we would be marching down the path toward a new Gilded Age.”

“The Nussle budget serves one very useful purpose.” Greenstein added. “It shows that these large tax cuts aren’t free, and that at bottom, the issue is one of national priorities. This ought to trigger a national debate. Are tax cuts averaging $90,000 a year for millionaires so high a priority that we should cut health care programs, increase the ranks of the uninsured, reduce the cost or limit the availability of student loans, and increase hardship among the disabled, poor children, and others to free up room for massive tax cuts?”

Robotic mating proposal

Robotic mating proposal 03/28/2005 01:17 PM
Xeni Jardin: Jason Striegel wrote an interesting post for Hackaday about a proposed sexual evolution mechanism for robots. He tells Boing Boing:

Using Lego Mindstorms, you can create simple robots that have the ability to mate (swap a simple software genome) and evolve (random chance of single point mutations). Mutations that make a robot unfit for traversing its environment or unable to mate will effectively drive it toward extinction as it cannot pass on its genes.

It's a pretty interesting experiment, as you can watch novel behaviors emerge with each generation. Even more interesting are the possible applications for an evolution based robotic platform. Two things that immediately come to mind are sex-based software upgrade mechanisms for distributed machines and distributed robot cultures that can adapt as a group to be optimized for communication in an environment, rather than being explicitly programmed for the task.

Now, I couldn't find any specific reference to fembots with gun-boobies in Jason's post, but any excuse to post this jpeg's a good one. Link
