The Programming Soviet

The Programming Soviet 07/08/2002 02:38 AM
I had an aunt and uncle who were Communists until the end. They saw any flaw in the capitalist sytem as fatal, and they saw hope in the most tired and discredited leaders and systems (my uncle wrote an exultant pamphlet about Yugoslavia under Tito).

I am reminded of my aunt and uncle whenever I read an anti-Microsoft tirade from Doc Searls or Eric Raymond or another card-carrying command-line zealot from the programming Soviet. To these true believers, any Microsoft imperfection spells imminent collapse for the Redmond bourgeoisie. Comes the revolution, it will be from each according to his Open Source and to each according to his Unix. -- Arnold Kling

I don't agree with everything that Arnold says, but it's a thought provoking piece.

Mark Frauenfelder: WorldChanging has a short item about a home-use electricity-generating windsail designed by engineers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US and the Makeyev State Rocket Center in Russia. Unlike a horizontal-axis wind turbine, this one is supposed to be quieter and less hazardous to birds. As you can see from the table below, you need a pretty brisk wind to keep even one light bulb burning.

Condition	Turbine Output (watts)	Annual KWh
<5 m/s wind	negligible	negligible
5 m/s	87	764

Secret Soviet plans for a lunar military
base

Secret Soviet plans for a lunar military
base 09/22/2004 06:16 AM
David Pescovitz: Thirty years ago, the Russian military allegedly developed plans to build a base on the Moon. According to MosNews, the Novaya Gazeta weekly got the story from the project-deputy general designer of the General Machine Building Design Bureau (KBOM) who was directly involved in the project.

"Soviet scientists considered the Moon to be a very good place for a strategic headquarters as nuclear strikes on its surface would lose most of their destructive force. As the moon has no atmosphere, no shockwave could spread there and the radioactive dust would immediately fall out back on the surface without an atmosphere to carry it.

The designer also said that the USA had also developed a lunar base project and the Soviet scientists had been aware of these plans."

The source, Aleksandr Yegorov, said the Soviet plan was scrapped because... (surprise!) it was too damn expensive. Link (to the MosNews article) Link (to a history of Russian lunar base programs)

Black market Soviet space program
detritus

Black market Soviet space program
detritus 03/28/2005 08:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: Russia's flea markets and online auction sites teem with stolen detritus of the Soviet space pragram. Wired has a good article with interviews with the dealers and buyers. The look and feel of commie space junque is completely awesome: there's a Russian science fiction publisher that finances its trips to American conventions by selling off thousands of kitschy Soviet space pins and memorabilia, stuff with the design feel of a Gernsback-era flying wing or phallic rocket-bomb. I can totally see how the actual detritus from the actual program would pose a nearly inescapable lure to a certain species of craphound.

I'm talking to a vendor named Vladimir, who, to protect himself from the bitter cold, has put on a pair of orange space gloves, which he swears belonged to Gagarin, and a bubble-shaped space helmet. A $2,000 price tag hangs off his right pinkie, and a $1,000 marker dangles from the helmet. Eager to make a sale, Vladimir lifts the face shield, revealing a set of bulging eyes and a two-day beard. "So," he says, speaking English with a heavy Russian accent to a tourist snapping a photo, "you wanna be a spaceman?"

Vladimir's stall is among hundreds that line Izmailovo's muddy pathways like a set of crooked teeth. Vendors hawk everything from pirated DVDs to antique rifles, just like any weekend market in the US. But Izmailovo's proximity to the famed cosmonaut training ground Star City - 90 minutes away by pothole-riddled streets - makes this bazaar unique. There are dozens of vendors peddling the same kind of wares as Vladimir. With a hand-rolled cigarette dangling from his mouth, he shows off artifacts that would be right at home in a museum clearance sale - an $800 leather headset, a $1,000 heat-resistant jumper with a Russian flag on the sleeve, and his prize, a $40,000 space suit from a 1971 Soyuz spacecraft.

Beyond the Green Zone

Beyond the Green Zone 05/19/2004 12:11 AM
Jeff Jarvis echoes Howard Kurtz's observation that most U.S. reporters in Iraq aren't daring to venture outside the Green Zone. Given the chaos there and the danger of being taken hostage or worse, it's hard to second-guess the decisions these journalists are making. But there's no question we won't get the full picture from Iraq this way.

Jarvis suggests we read Iraqi bloggers (and provides a set of links to them). That's certainly good advice.

But it's also worth pointing out that Salon's coverage from Iraq was not "embedded" during the invasion and is not embedded in the Green Zone today. Our correspondent Philli p Robertson has been courageously, and independently, traveling the country, offering e yewitness accounts from the siege of Najaf and Kufa, escaping a thankfully brief detainment by Moqtada al-Sadr's Al-Mehdi Army, and providing another angle on the Abu Ghraib abuses.

Phillip is a fine writer and a great observer. If you want to read reporting that's not hunkered down behind the barricades, here it is.
