True confessions from the DeCSS Haiku
author

True confessions from the DeCSS Haiku
author 01/27/2004 08:37 PM
After three years, my cow-orker Seth Schoen has broken his hard silence and admitted to writing the DeCSS haiku. In this poem, the algortihm necessary for playing back DVDs is expressed as a series of haiku, despite the fact that such publication is banned under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In this essay, he explains his motivations and the procedure he went through:

Writing the bulk of the poem itself took me around 15 hours over the course of several days, excluding the CSS tables (whose construction I describe below). As Leigh Ann Hildebrand observed, there were classical influences at work in my efforts; I realized immediately that I would need to begin with an invocation of the Muse. (My poetic skills were not up to constructing dactyllic hexameters, and I had already settled on the haiku form.) I used Prof. Touretzky's article "The CSS Decryption Algorithm" as my main source for the technical details, but I set myself a strict rule against using hexadecimal constants, because they seemed unpoetic. Everything had to come back into decimal form, because a number is a number. I also felt that it was important to include passages honoring and praising heroes (even using an epithet in the traditional epic way: "wise Andreas Bogk", only partly metri causa) together with a substantial amount of context. After all, one of the ways long poetry maintains interest is by telling several stories at once, and by painting scenery. Finally, I felt that expressing the fear of censorship directly and repeatedly within the poem itself created an interesting tension. It emphasized that the poem had really been written by a human author with a human voice and his own interests and passions. Aware of the prospect of censorship, the poem confronts would-be censors directly and takes them to task. By contrast, most source code is relatively defenseless: it can't fight against its own suppression, and it gives less direct evidence of being in a human voice, leading some people to accept its stigmatization as "merely mechanical" or "merely functional". I feel that it is essential that the poem constantly pleads for its own life -- an effect accomplished comically yet powerfully by Joe Wecker in "Descramble (This Function Is Void)"

Great 2005 Storage Haiku Winners, Part 2 04/16/2005 05:07 AM
Today, we have the second batch of winners in the Great 2005 Storage Haiku Contest. Obviously a lot of people have spent a lot of time on some of these. I'd like to think at least 50% of that was on the clock.

Songs as BASIC programs, alphabetical

Cory Doctorow: Meredith sez, 'The song-reformatting meme from two days ago continues to breed and mutate. Link goes to an Outlook-calendar version of Robert Smith's week according to "Friday I'm In Love". Others worth noting: "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" in first-order predicate logic, "Love Shack" in alphabetical order, various Beatles songs in haiku, the bears in the bed song in BASIC, and John Cage's 4' 33".'

10 let x=5
20 if x>1 then let b$="bears" else let b$="bear"
30 if x>1 then let s$="roll over, roll over" else let s$="I'm sleepy"
40 print x, b$, "in the bed, and the little one said", s$
50 if x=1 then goto 90
60 print "So they all rolled over, and one fell out."
70 let x=x-1
80 goto 20
90 end

Spymac goes green!

Spymac goes green! 12/22/2004 01:26 AM
Spymac is excited to announce it has today opened the GreenZones, a new discussion forum centered around GreenZones.org and its efforts to promote green living for the benefit of all life. GreenZones.org founder Christopher Adjani will be participating in the forum today and will be joined at 4 pm (PST) by celebrity Leslie Bega, who is also a GreenZones.org member and a star on HBO’s The Sopranos. We welcome them to the Spymac community and hope you enjoy your discussions with them. The GreenZones is the latest addition to Spymac's Hangouts forums, which consists of the Sanctuary (for religious discussions), the Lounge (for general discussions), the Stadium (for sports) and the Political Corner (for the brave). The Spymac Forums are home to the largest Mac community on the Web and contains upwards of 2.3 million posts.

Merry Christmas, Spymac!

Merry Christmas, Spymac! 12/25/2004 05:20 PM
On Spymac this Christmas, Forums are littered with missed gifts, Bamboozled, glossed-over wish lists With iPod minis and iTrips. For some, the tunes will be rocking, For others, megahertz clocking But what of all of those stockings With neither socks nor a dock nor The shocking bow-wrapped black box With a Power Mac peeking out from Under out of a bounty of wound-up frowns Not an ounce of astoundment, wow or surprise Decline in all shapes and sizes, Stifled cries and replies Of, “Oh, that’s not the right size? Should it have been bigger? White? Pink, blue or green? Did you want the red click wheel Or the new color screen?” It seems the holiday spirit Has gone the way of the Cube It’s presents now that we care about Instead of renewing The vows of tradition and family and love we hold dear, having replaced what were tidings with an endless frontier Of wrapping and ribbon And piles of debt, After two months of sweat There’s no time for regret, It’s Christmas, so let it Be, lest we forget it, If you got the wrong iPod There’s always Apple Store credit. Merry Christmas, from the Spymac News Team

Spymac speculation: the 5GB iPod 12/02/2003 03:04 AM
When a company is leading a saturated market by several percentage points with a $299 low-end model, most would say there’s little room for improvement. With accolades galore, a corporation enjoying such a position could indeed rest until the gap closes, only to scramble once the competition catches on. Indeed… but those other companies don’t have Steve Jobs as a CEO.
