Versions 2.4.x and 2.6.x of the Linux kernel running on x86 systems are vulnerable to a simple, yet nasty bit of C code that will hard lock the kernel. The kicker is that anyone with shell access can execute the code and bring down the system.

Of all the personal computers to be unwrapped during the holiday season, more than 80 percent will be used to go online and search the Web's more than 92 million gigabytes of data (comparable to a 2 billion-volume encyclopedia). Getting online is the easy part, finding a useful Web page is a bit harder—keeping track of a useful Web page is another issue altogether.

People have devised many tricks—such as sending e-mails to themselves or jotting on sticky notes—for keeping track of Web pages, but William Jones and Harry Bruce at the University of Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of Microsoft Research have found that often people don't use any of them when it comes time to revisit a Web page. Instead, they rely on their ability to find the Web page all over again.

And it's all my fault

And it's all my fault 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Anytime I think of saying something that would be considered a "jinx", I have this little conversation with myself in my head on whether I should actually utter the thought aloud and risk karmic payback. I'm not a superstitious person but I usually end up keeping silent. The other day on the plane home from Ireland, I decided to take a chance:

"You know what's weird? I haven't been sick all winter."

After all, who gets a cold in June? *cough* *cough* So if things are a little slow around here today, that's why.

Fault Is Not In The Technology, But In
Ourselves

Fault Is Not In The Technology, But In
Ourselves 09/23/2004 05:51 PM
It seems like every so often, a columnist has to write about technology and spits out a 'top ten' list. Probably one of the most overdone topics for technology articles has to be a list of the 'top ten things people dislike about computers/software/etc' which can usually be reduced to the statement: it's frustrating when technology doesn't work the way people want it to. But apparently people are more forgiving to apologetic computers, so without changing what computers actual do, simply re-wording error messages might ameliorate the situation. However, the problem still exists, and the issue is that humans are the ones who build and design these systems, disregard owner's manuals, and write cryptic manuals in the first place. So before computers start designing other computers, just pretend your laptop apologized to you, read the manuals, and make up top ten lists to vent your frustrations.

No, It's Not Our Own Damn Fault

No, It's Not Our Own Damn Fault 09/07/2004 01:04 AM

In response to my rant about integrated library system vendors, Peter Rukavina says that it's our own damn fault.

"When you outsource the administration of your data to someone else (whether it's an OPAC vendor or a university computing department or some guy down the street), you're also outsourcing any chance you have at retaining ultimate control over that data.

When you buy a 'one size fits all' technology solution -- an OPAC that's designed for, say, 'any public library' -- you're buying a commodity, not a solution.

And you should expect to be treated as an insignificant cog by your vendor: that's what you are. By absolving yourself of personal responsibility over your data management in the first place, you've already said 'we don't care enough about this to do it ourselves, so you take care of it for us.' Is it any wonder they treat you like they do?"

While I understand the spirit of his response and I wish that we did have some of our best and brightest programmers devoted to creating the one true catalog (rather than working on it as time permits at their real job or doing it at home on their own time), nonprofit libraries just don't have the option for which Peter advocates.

I bought a new car this year because I was unhappy with some of the things about my old car. Using Peter's logic, I shouldn't have outsourced my new vehicle to a car manufacturer, but I did. I just didn't have the time, money, or other resources to build one myself.

Yeah, it's over the top, but you get my point. Ambulance drivers don't make the ambulances, doctors don't make the defibrillators, lawyers don't make the Lexis-Nexis database, and programmers use operating systems developed by someone else (even if it's Linux).

You can't outsource everything, and libraries have to prioritize what to expend their limited amounts of resources on. Can they build their own cars? No, but they can certainly switch to one made by another manufacturer.

Design fault

Design fault 04/19/2004 08:24 AM
How come the Copenhagen airport has wireless internet access, but no powerstrips? Heh. You can't even pay for more than four hours of internet access, but I guess that's okay since your laptop battery will die in four hours anyway...

It's very sad, you know. Weep with me.

(On the other hand, while traveling is stressful, in an odd way it's also very comforting. A whole blissful 15 hours during which you are not expected to make any decisions, just follow the signs, sit in a cramped space, stretch and eat whatever is given to you, taken care of by professionals. It's really a very zen-like experience in all its calmness. Much like going to a spa or something.

I'm not so certain whether it is a bad thing to be docile and subservient every now and then. At least you are paying a lot of money for the privilege.)

Bluetooth SIG to World: It's Our
Members' Fault

Bluetooth SIG to World: It's Our
Members' Fault 02/17/2004 02:30 PM
The Bluetooth SIG, which controls the Bluetooth standard, issued a rather left-handed press release about "bluesnarfing": In its attempt to keep the Bluetooth standard's credibility from eroding, the SIG put out a press release that notes that the standard isn't at fault, just its members. ....we would like the industry to understand that this issue is a result of implementation decisions by specific product manufacturers in a limited number of products and is not inherent to Bluetooth wireless technology itself. In other words, it's some dolts (who happen to include some of the world's largest cellular telephone manufacturer) not the group's problem. This release highlights a major problem in the Bluetooth world and how it differs from Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is the certified and laboratory tested version of IEEE 802.11a, b, and/or; Bluetooth is just a specification. Bluetooth SIG members have plugfests (and so do Wi-Fi Alliance members) but the group doesn't actually test and certify compliance to Bluetooth and interoperability. With 802.15.3 finished up (up to 55 Mbps using the Bluetooth subset approved by 802.15.1), it's possible that another group could form to codify the interoperability of that standard under an entirely different name and short-circuit the whole 1 Mbps Bluetooth spec entirely....
