Juice Boost Scam Keeps Growing And
Growing...
08/17/2004 05:02 PMA couple weeks ago we had the story about the
not
really free, not really broadband, free broadband scam from a
company named Juice Boost. Broadband Reports has an update today
about how the
scam/joke/pyrami
d scheme/something is taking on an incredible life of its own.
The scam, of course, involves some sort of non-existent accelerator
software and claims that even the most non-tech-savvy individual
should realize are completely made up (free broadband connections over
telephone lines and a regular modem that never go down and they'll pay
you if you receive a spam message or if the connection drops among
other, equally ridiculous claims). Looking for any kind of details on
the company turn up nothing but more affiliates (some of whom have
even sent out press releases or promises of
bars of silver if
you sign up). The problem, of course, is that they're promising
affiliates lots of cash for signing up more people (limited to the
first... oh, 80 million) so the affiliate spammers are coming out of
the woodwork taking the ridiculous promises of Juice and "boosting"
them even higher. Hopefully, this is all just a demonstration of how
ridiculous most affiliate programs are, but that seems unlikely.

Growing a car
Growing a car
12/05/2003 07:50 PMInteresting piece in VentureBlog about job loss in the US. Since 1995,
two million Americans have lost jobs in the manufacturing industry.
Those jobs didn't go overseas, though. China lost 16 million
manufacturing jobs in the same period.
Economically, trade is no different than other
technologies. Economist David Friedman of Santa Clara University puts
it most succinctly: there are two ways to make a car -- you can either
make it in Detroit or grow it in Iowa. You already know how to make it
in Detroit. You get a bunch of iron ore, smelt it into steel, and have
an assembly line of robots and workers shape it into a finished
vehicle.
To grow it in Iowa, you plant car seeds in the ground (also known as
"wheat"), wait until they sprout, and harvest them. Take the harvest
and put it into a big boat marked "to Japan" and let it sail off. A
few months later a brand new car comes back.

How Microsoft Can Keep Growing
How Microsoft Can Keep Growing
07/22/2004 09:40 AMEven after its huge dividend payout, Gates & Co. still have plenty in
the till to fund expansion, especially through acquisitions.
Microsoft's announcement on July 20 that it will distribute a large
chunk of its cash hoard to shareholders makes it look like the
software giant has finally accepted that it's a mature company. After
all, it will spend an astonishing $75 billion over the next four years
on dividends and stock buybacks -- instead of investing that money in
new growth opportunities. Investors will be able to count on Microsoft
(MSFT ) as a steady profit earner and source of dividend income --
much like a regulated monopoly.

« If only he could operate the remote control.... »
Take a teething puppy, keep his activity minimal [meaning no playing
with friends in the puppy park] and reduce his daily ration of food
and I can guarantee that even the most angelic puppy will turn into a
petulant monster. We tried to take Otava to a nearby island on Sunday,
where most of the area is a dog park, but not long after we got off
the bus he started limping again, only on the other front leg. His
limp became rather severe and once we got home I gave him some aspirin
to help ease the discomfort a bit while I started hunting around the
net for some information on what might be the problem.
I am unwilling to believe that it could be a joint abnormality and he
has had no trauma or undue stress to his legs. I found something known
as "panosteitis".
I've known and had my own giant breed puppies for two decades and have
never heard about this affliction. But, essentially, it's a result of
him growing too fast. Large breed dog owners don't feed vitamin
supplements and switch to adult food around four months of age to
avoid the dangers of this happening. Somehow, in spite of doing
everything right, he is still growing like a weed.
Panosteitis (commonly called "growing pains," "wandering lameness,"
or simply "pano") is associated with large breed dogs and usually
occurs in dogs 5 to 12 months of age, although it has been found in
dogs as old as 5 years. It most commonly affects males by a ratio of
4:1. Females are most often affected around their first heat. It is
possible that the condition is partially genetic since so many German
Shepherd Dogs are prone to it. However, many other factors have been
associated with pano: diet, viral diseases, autoimmune problems,
hyperestrogen, and vascular problems. In other words, no one knows
what causes the disease. It is characterised by excessive bone
production on the long bones and is an inflammation of the membrane
covering the bone. Dogs will generally grow out of the problem, but it
is a painful condition.
Symptoms: Favoring of legs, limping, being subdued. Pano is also
called "shifting leg lameness" as it can show up in any leg and may
come and go without warning. If the limping goes from leg to leg (for
example, one day the dog limps on the right rear leg, and the next
day, it limps on the left front), it is very likely the dog has pano.
Diagnosis: If the dog is x-rayed during a bout of pano, lesions on
the area above the growth plates will be visible.
Treatment: Enforced rest is usually prescribed. Painkillers are
controversial since the pup will play more without pain, and may
exacerbate the condition. Some vets recommend a reduced-protein
(usually an adult formula) diet.
The pathology of the disease matches the description of his symptoms
almost perfectly. I've changed his food to a Nutro's low protein adult
formula and started giving him 500mg of vitamin C. There's a lot of con
flicting advice on the net, but the food, limited use of aspirin
for the pain and reduced exercise make a lot of sense. The vitamin C
hasn't been confirmed as helping, but the vitamin has a lot to do with
calcium metabolism in the body so it won't do any harm at least. We'll
keep our fingers crossed that it is just growing pains and that he'll
grow out of it soon so we can enjoy the summertime.
On the lighter side, our new offices are very nice and my southern
exposure window is terribly luxurious after years of dark cubes,
although the drawback is that it is rather soporific in the late
afternoon. For some reason there aren't any rubbish bins to be found
anywhere in the building which is both mysterious and inconvenient.

getting textured photos so that the blind may enjoy them as well.

from Einstein: "If a cluttered desk is an indication of a cluttered

04/02/2005 05:56 PMI’m not Catholic, and I disagreed with many of the Pope’s
pronouncements—but for all he did to free Poland and Eastern
Europe from communism, I thank him with all my heart.
The end of communism in Europe is still the central historical event
of my lifetime, and it’s the thing that reminds me that people
can be both good and courageous. Not just popes—dock workers
too. Everybody. Even, from time to time, leaders of countries.
If, some day, historians call him Pope John Paul the Great, I’ll
be fine with that.
I remember when this Pope was elected, and I remember when his
predecessor was elected. For those of you too young to remember,
consider this a head’s-up—the process and ritual here is
fascinating, worth paying attention to, whether you’re Catholic
or not. It’s history. (And, with luck, it’s history we
won’t see again for many decades.)
