War is peace

press conference by George W. Bush

Love is hate War is peace No is yes And we're all free

Why, by Tracy Chapman

Reading the transcript of George w. Bush's press conference tonight (I couldn't bear to watch it), Tracy Chapman's song kept running through my head. It seemed like Bush had a script of 5 points he set out to make, and he kept on making them in response to the questions, no matter how inane they sounded. It was amazing the number of logical fallacies he committed in the course of one press conference, but just as amazing is the fact that as a body politic, we don't expect our representatives to be able think and speak logically. Still, I can't resist noting a few of the more egregious offenses against logic and reality.

it's hard to say the United States is defiant about the United Nations when I was the person who took the issue to the United Nations September the 12th, 2002. We've been working with the United Nations. We've been working through the United Nations.
vs.
I'm confident the American people understand that when it comes to our security, if we need to act, we will act. And we really don't need United Nations approval to do so.

Refocusing Peace

Refocusing Peace 03/20/2003 05:32 PM
Grant Henninger is suggesting that the peace movement refocus its message since obviously we're not going to prevent the war. Instead, Grant suggests, we should focus on limiting civilian casualties and ensuring that we step up to our responsibility to rebuild Iraq afterwards. I'm in favor of both of Grant's points, but I think there is a point to continuing to protest the war itself: It tells the government that we don't all fall into a line when a war is declared, and it tells the world that not all Americans believe this war is worth the death and instability...

Knoppix

Knoppix 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

So, I finally tried Knoppix today. I'd heard a lot about it and was ready to be impressed, but it still took me by surprise. If you haven't heard of Knoppix, it's a full Linux distribution on a CD that is designed to boot straight from the CD, without you needing to install anything and without you having to worry about it modifying the contents of your hard drive.

Getting it running was pretty simple. I had to change the boot order in my BIOS so that my PC would try booting from the CD before the hard drive (not difficult at all: hit delete as the PC is booting up and the option for changing the boot order was pretty obvious, at least on my machine), then all it took was inserting the CD and powering up the computer.

Knoppix auto-detected everything - from my graphics card and network (I guess it used DHCP) right up to the scroll wheel on my mouse. There was a moment of confusion when it came up with a 'boot?' prompt, but it turned out I just had to hit enter for it to start auto-detection (the prompt appeared to be for advanced users to specify additional options). After that, it booted straight in to an attractively set up version of KDE 3. The ease with which it started up was the first pleasant surprise, but what really impressed me was the huge amount of software that came on that one CD. As well as KDE, Knoppix comes with the full Open Office and Mozilla application suites, all the usual Linux tools and editors, plenty of multimedia software, the GIMP (a photo editing program similar to Photoshop), even Python 2.3. Everything was available through the KDE application menus, and everything Just Worked.

The icing on the cake though was WINE. WINE is an emulation layer for Linux that allows you to run Windows applications. I had heard about it, but always been put off trying it because it sounded so complicated. Knoppix comes with WINE already installed, so I figured there was nothing to lose by trying it out.

wine notepad.exe

Windows notepad loaded up in a new, KDE style window. Wow.

Knoppix mounts your Windows hard drive (in my case as hda2) as read only, so you can play with your existing files without fear of damaging them. I browsed around my Program Files directory and tried to run WINE on various applications. Several failed, including Internet Explorer (hardly essential software, but useful for testing). I don't know if this is because they do weird, screwed up things that WINE doesn't yet know how to handle or if they were upset that they couldn't read the filesystem. Whatever the reason, I was blown away by the fact that any of it worked at all. When UltraEdit loaded under Linux I positively cackled.

I've only made one venture in to Knoppix land so far, but it really was everything as good as people had said it was. If you have access to a CD burner and a fast internet connection you owe it to yourself to try it out.

Repartitioning with Knoppix

Repartitioning with Knoppix 12/02/2003 12:41 AM

I've been long bemoaning the fact that if you want to repartition your hard drive to install Linux as a dual boot with an existing Windows system the most frequently recommended method is to buy a copy of Partion Magic. You would have thought the open source software world would have provided a free alternative by now.

Via Andy Todd, it turns out that they have. GNU Parted is a repartioning tool for Linux. QtParted wraps it in a GUI with a Partition Magic style interface. And the awesome Knoppix comes with QtParted included on the disk. So instead of shelling out for an expensive package that you are unlikely to ever use more than once, you can download and burn a Knoppix CD, boot in to Linux and repartition from there. I'll be trying this out for real on Monday, and I'll report back with the results when I do.

As an aside, has anyone ever found a web page that lists all of the software included on the Knoppix CD?

Update: Closer inspection reveals that Parted can't resize NTFS. Thankfully, ntfsresize< /a> can - and ntfsresize is integrated in to QtParted. Magic.

Knoppix: CD-Based Linux

Knoppix: CD-Based Linux 07/06/2004 11:39 PM

I'm writing this entry from a Linux machine...but I never installed Linux. I've booted my PC off a Knoppix disc, which is a bootable Linux CD. I'm in Linux now, but I just need to pop the CD and reboot, and I'm back to Windows.

You can get the CD image file at www.knoppix.com (I used Bit Torrent to get my version). Burn it to a CD, stick it in the drive, and reboot. You will boot into a really nice Linux distribution.

There are no users on the system — you're automatically logged on as root. If you're worried about this, don't be — remember that you booted from a CD. If you screw something up as root, just reboot and the system will be back to normal.

While Knoppix can read everything on your hard drive, it has no write access by default, so it's not going to do anything to your existing stuff. You can allow it to write, but it's not advisable with an NTFS drive. Knoppix creates a ramdisk to store all the stuff it needs while running. It accesses everything else off the CD, just like it would off the hard drive normally. When you run a new program, you can hear the CD spool up. Consequently, it's slower than a normal Linux machine, but not by much.

It's fully functional — it detected everything on my machine, including FireWire and USB devices. I just had to get the network card to broadcast a DHCP request and I was on the network. It recognized my Lexmark E210 printer just fine, and I'm listening to MP3s on XMMS as I write this. I had more trouble with my dedicated Linux install at work, and I spent days fiddling with that.

It comes with scads of software, like most Linux distributions — KDE, Open Office, The Gimp, Mozilla, Konquerer, etc. Since it forms a ramdisk when it boots, you can save files and work with them just as if it were a normal operating system. I saved the image above off a Web site, cropped it, and converted it to JPG in The Gimp. If I wanted to keep it beyond this session, I could always FTP it somewhere (remember that KDE is FTP-aware — you can map an FTP site to a local folder, so you'd never really know the difference).

I'm fairly well stunned by this. It's really amazing. Sure, it can't really store or persist anything locally from session to session, but most of my apps are Web-based and my email is IMAP, so I'm actually pretty functional.

If you ever wanted to try Linux but you don't want to make any changes to your current Windows set-up, Knoppix is exactly what you're looking for.

Cuban artists

Cuban artists 01/07/2004 04:27 PM

One of our friends has a young Cuban lover and she goes to visit him there periodically.  This situation spurred some reflection:  "Why are there so many artists and musicians in Cuba?"The next thought "Well, why not?"In the U.S. when Johnny decides to ignore his family's advice and take up oil painting or guitar playing instead of investment banking it is a big crisis.Johnny is very likely giving up the opportunity to own real estate, send his kids to private school, and otherwise enjoy the great festival of materialism that is the United States.  In an economy with hardly any opportunity, however, why wouldn't a person choose to do art or music?

Art doesn't require a lot of capital investment.  You really just need a crayon and some paper (or scissors and paper if you were Matisse).  If human ability is equally distributed across the globe you'd therefore expect the best art to come from the poorest countries where people have no competing bourgeois job offers.  Yet paradoxically the art for which people are willing to pay the most money seems to come from advanced economies such as Germany, England, Japan, and the U.S.

For the comment section:  Why?

[I'll start by throwing out a personal opinion:  art can only touch you if the artist shares a similar social and economic environment, which is why Westerners mostly like the art that is produced in Western countries; art produced in poor countries is actually much better but we can't appreciate it because, despite heavy doses of ecotourism, we can't understand the milieu in which it was produced.]
