Depressing 04/19/2005 03:43 AM
I was really depressed by the comments on this post that Robert Scoble made until I read the comment by Mobile Jones, who I think stated the point perfectly. Until people stop being defensive, I'll comfort myself with the thought that making the assumption that a market or conversation ought...

Nerds only might find this article interesting in which Jaron Lanier laments the fact that most of the open source effort has gone into making "another Unix".

[And I might add not a very good one.  Ever since the photo.net Oracle database was migrated from Sun Solaris to Dell/Linux the site has been very shaky.  I'm not involved in running the site anymore but as I understand it one of the guys has essentially had to move into the colocation cage to keep poking at Linux.  Maybe Linux really is secretly funded by Microsoft...]

How Dotster cost me days and days of
downtime: stay away from this registrar 08/12/2004 07:36 AM
A year ago, the DNS for craphound.com disappeared. Which was weird, because I was paying for DNS with Dotster, my registrar.

I called them up and spoke to their tech support people. "Oh yeah," they said, "your paid service ended a month ago but our billing system was broken so we didn't send out a notice. So we terminated you for nonpayment. But dude, you're lucky! We gave you a free month's DNS!"

Lucky lucky me. I got a free month's DNS and to pay for it, I was bouncing mail all over the Internet and my Website wasn't resolving. Bastards. I bought two years' worth of DNS and vowed that when the domain came up for renewal, I'd switch away from Dotster. I sent them an email telling them as much and got an email back apologizing and saying that they would certainly never terminate my DNS wihtout notice again (you see where this is going, I trust)

Craphound.com is up for renewal at the end of August. Not wanting to leave things to the last minute, I changed over early this month, switching registrars to Domain Direct, who are now the registrar for all of my domains, and boingboing.net besides.

I didn't move over the DNS -- I figured I'd paid Dotster for another year's service, I might as well get it. Instead, I left myself a reminder in my iCal for next July to set up DNS at DomainDirect a month ahead of the service running out on Dotster.

This morning, Dotster terminated my DNS. Without warning. And when I called, they told me there was nothing they could do about it. Even though there's nothing in my DNS contract that says that DNS is provided to domains registered with Dotster and no others, that is, apparently, their policy. And they can't make exceptions. Not even for 48h while I effect a graceful change to DomainDirect (who have been fantastic throughout and now have 100 percent of my domain registration and DNS business).

Bastards.

Cory Doctorow: Freevibe is an anti-drug website produced by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, producing teen-hip don't-smoke-pot messages. They offer free hip-hop ringtones to make you think about not doing drugs every time your phone rings.

You want the Funk? We've got the Funk! This ringtone will get you in the groove and remind you where to go to get the facts on drugs. And remember, you have the power to stop your friends from using drugs or alcohol. That's right--your cell phone is a powerful way to help start a conversation with a friend who might be using drugs.

DVR Makers Bow to Hollywood

DVR Makers Bow to Hollywood 09/09/2004 10:28 AM

Mercury News: TiVo , ReplayTV agree to limits. The makers of TiVo and ReplayTV digital video recorders have agreed to limit how long consumers can keep pay-for-view movies stored on future versions of the VCR-like devices. The new technology also will allow Hollywood movie studios and broadcasters to regulate how often movies purchased through pay-for-view services can be watched. Digital video recorders that recognize these new copy restrictions will begin appearing in the spring of 2005. But it could be years before entertainment companies begin to take advantage of the technology, according to ReplayTV President Bernie Sepaniak.

Oh, it's just the pay-per-view movies, they're claiming -- no harm there, right? How soon will this include other kinds of video? Won't HBO and Showtime make similar demands, too? Of course they will. Then will come ABC, CBS and NBC and the other networks. The pay-per-view world approaches more quickly than you think -- if the entertainment cartel gets its way. I'll be pointing out some options to this regime. Stay tuned.
