We made a rule in the house this year that packages mailed to us and still unopened count as wrapping, whether or not the things inside are wrapped as well (we have no way of knowing). You can't see what's inside the boxes so it does the same thing as wrapping. It also cuts out a stupid step where you have to open a present for someone, wrap it, then have them open it on xmas day.

But not this year, brown boxes count just as much as holiday paper wrapping.

IFD-iV Flash Drives Masquerade as ATA

IFD-iV Flash Drives Masquerade as ATA
Hard Drives 07/15/2004 08:59 AM

For embedded computing hackers, mass storage (like hard drives) is often the most frustrating piece of the puzzle, as the fragile and power-hungry spin of the hard drive is usually the last non-solid-state part in the whole deployment. And while most engineers will just use a Compact Flash card, sometimes the only option is an ATA (hard drive) connection; that's where the IFD-iV flash memory parts from IO Data Device Corporation come in. Basically just flash memory drives, the defining feature of the IFD-iVs (besides fairly rugged operating specifications) is that they use the standard ATA connection of a hard drive, meaning they can be deployed in place of hard drives when necessary. Models up to 2GB in capacity will be available for around $2,100 -- maybe we'll just deal with the fragile hard drives instead.

Update: Reader Tom Lee brings up a much cheaper option for hackers on a budget (after the jump.)

I've heard old-timers say that back in the day, when pulling an all-nighter at the data center, they would put hot dogs on top of an IBM S/360 mainframe to warm them up. Now that's what I call a classical batch environment. These days, batch is a whole 'nother thing. So this week our excuse to break free of those GUI chains for awhile will be to take a look at a handy little program called batch, natch.

Sex toys still banned in Alabama, guns

Sex toys still banned in Alabama, guns
okay 07/29/2004 09:55 AM
A decision issued yesterday by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says Alabama doesn't have to lift its silly, arcane 1998 law banning the sale of sex toys. The Constitution does not include a right to sexual privacy, the panel of three judges ruled. Many Americans would disagree, including this one. To paraphrase Andre w Orlowski's brilliant quip about the INDUCE Act, under this law one could stroll down Alabama's southern streets selling semiautomatic rifles and dildos, and be arrested for the dildos.

"In this case, the American Civil Liberties Union ('ACLU') invites us to add a new right to the current catalogue of fundamental rights under the Constitution: a right to sexual privacy. It further asks us to declare Alabama's statute prohibiting the sale of 'sex toys' to be an impermissible burden on this right. Alabama responds that the statute exercises a time-honored use of state police power -- restricting the sale of sex. We are compelled to agree with Alabama and must decline the ACLU's invitation. (...)

"Alabama's Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act prohibits, among other things, the commercial distribution of 'any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for any thing of pecuniary value.'"

This calls for massive civil disobedience. FreeTheAlabamaVibrator.com is still available, people -- it's time to stick it to the Man. Here's the decision in PDF. More on the story here, in a Seattle P-I piece. And during National Orgasm Week, no less. Is nothing sacred? H ere's a PDF summarizing the state's gun laws (Alabama's congresscritters are against renewing the Assault Weapons Ban, which expires on September 13 -- evidently the state's pro-gun lobby is much more powerful than its pro-vibrator lobby).
