Alan Cox: "XFree86 is hard to get involved with usefully, resistant to cool ideas and strongly wedded to an occasional not rolling regular release model. ... X has to evolve, X has to do cool stuff, X has to let people break stuff, X has to delegate trust to driver maintainers far more. ... As a driver maintainer X is a painful project, not because of the code ... but because of the project structure and lack of delegation."

Congratulations Alan!

Alan Moore on our modern distopia

Alan Moore on our modern distopia 07/22/2004 02:31 AM
Salon has an excellent interview with Alan Moore, the man behind Watchmen, From Hell and other canonically awesome funnybooks. Moore talks distopian politics:

One of the reasons we singled out media in "V for Vendetta" was because it is one of the most useful tools of tyranny. We invite it into our own home every night; I'm sure that some of us think of it as a friend. That might be a horrifying notion but I'm sure there are people who think of television as perhaps one of their most intimate friends. And if the TV tells them that things in the world are a certain way, even if the evidence of their senses asserts it is not true, they'll probably believe the television set in the end. It's an alarming thought but we brought it upon ourselves. I mean, I think that television is one of the most diabolical -- in the very best sense of the word -- inventions of the past century. It has probably done more to degrade the mind and intelligence of its audience, even if they happen to be drug addicts or alcoholics; I would think that watching television has done more to limit their horizons in the long run. And it has also distorted our culture.

TV and politics have always made inevitable bedfellows, but the results have been disastrous. Look at the situation we have now. Let's say that tomorrow someone who is a political genius were to emerge -- and I'm not expecting this to happen, but say that it did. Say that a politician emerged who seemed, for once, basically competent, who seemed to be able to do their job as well as the average cab driver, comic writer or journalist. If they were the most intelligent, visionary, humane political thinker in the history of mankind, but were also fat, had some sort of blemish or something that made them less than telegenic, we would not be able to elect them. All we're able to elect are these telegenic, photogenic crypto-Nazis. As long as they look good. I suppose it's too early to go into my rant on Ronald Reagan? That would be tasteless.

Folklorist Alan Dundes dead at 70 04/01/2005 02:22 PM
Alan Dundes dies while teaching. The world-renowned folklorist, 70, tackled everything from religion to po litical jokes with an infectious enthusiam that endeared him to students, academics, and laymen alike. Dundes was often contacted by reporters looking for scholarly explanations of popular culture. His warmth and humor shined through in his speech to UC Berkeley's Class of 2002, characteristically full of wise words and wisecracks. Those wishing to share thoughts and memories of Prof. Dundes can do so at this forum.

Alan Reiter on MSN watches: they will
suck 01/23/2004 02:20 PM
Do those MSN SPOT watches stand a chance? Mobile data pundit Alan Reiter says (this) (and this), summarized by BB reader John Troyer:

- They're big and ugly
- They need to be recharged daily
- They crash and sometimes die when shocked with static electricity
- They have to be turned off on planes
- Coverage is spotty compared to pagers and mobile phones
- News blurbs are 25-word useless snippets
- You have to tell MSN when and where you are traveling for it to work away from your home area!
- Nobody's *ever* made money selling generic headlines, weather and sports via wireless.

Reiter also says:

"However, syncing with MS Outlook is useful, and Reiter does believe they could catch on if Microsoft repositions to emphasize the fun aspects: downloadable watch faces, games, etc. ... [The watches] look as if they were designed by the Borg, on a very bad day. Many years ago Motorola introduced its first pager watch, I was there. I was pretty excited about the product. But when I spoke with a Motorola executive, he said the company wasn't sure whether the target market would view the device as a smallest, sexiest pager or as the world's ugliest watch. Unfortunately for Motorola, the view was the latter. Pager watches have generally died quick or lingering deaths. But the operative word is "death."
