09/17/2004 12:10 PMWe are at war with Iraq. We have always been at war with Iraq. This
is the first time I've read 1984 all the way to the end, and I finally
understand it, and why it's so important. Winston lost entirely, and
it was the most complete loss that is possible. This was important,
because it sticks in the mind. Ironically, Orwell understood how to
manipulate people's emotions, but he used this knowledge for the good
of us all.

Slavery is not just the shameful stuff of history books - not in
Florida. Last year, 7 journalists spent 9 months in a
behind-the-scenes exploration of the state's immigrant workers. In
more than 30 articles and photo essays, they revealed a system where
workers are threatened, beaten, locked up, injured, forced into
prostitution, and trapped in a spiral of debt and abuse. Powerful
forces are arrayed against them in a state where agricultural laws are
shaped by politician-farmers who have a vested interest in the status
quo.

RAP is too slow?
RAP is too slow?
05/01/2004 11:51 AMRAP is good!.
I got impatient and couldn't resist trying RAP (RDF API for PHP) with the pet
data. I don't know PHP and am no expert on server admin, but it only
took a couple of hours to get an installation running and a script
together to load the Pet Profiles into a triplestore
(ModelDB). Here are the pet statements, transferred live
from the (in DB) instance docs.
Very pleasing indeed. [Raw]
Wow! What a coincidence. We were just talking about RAP
and how slow it was the other day on our PeepAgg IRC channel.
Apparently when you want to parse 444 people sized FOAF files
(which would be my Tribe FOAF) it'll take forever. So the
question is: "can we optimzie RAP or rewrite it in C - and somehow get
that code into a php codebase (like Drupal?)
As Slow As Possible
As Slow As Possible
07/06/2004 11:58 AM
The sound of an E and
E-sharp rang out of an abandoned German church yesterday. They were
the latest organ notes in a musical piece that will take another 636
years to finish playing. Avant-garde composer John Cage (1912-1992)
composed Organ2/ASLSP in 1985. The title comes from the tempo Cage had
in mind when the work would be played: "as slow as possible." This
performance at St.
Burchardi Church in Halberstadt began September 5, 2001, but until
last February the only sound was the building's natural ambience.
Since then, a total of five notes have been played. National Public
Radio has a page about ASLSP, including audio samples and an "All
Things Considered" radio piece from last fall:
In a 1982 interview with NPR, John Cage revealed that he
wanted to make his "music so that it doesn't force the performers of
it into a particular groove, but which gives them some space in which
they can breathe and do their own work with a degree of originality. I
like to make suggestions, and then see what happens, rather than
setting down laws and forcing people to follow them."

Fuel Cell Motorbike Unveiled (BBC link, no reg. req.)
The
Emissions Neutral Vehicle (ENV), has a top speed of 50mph (80km/h), a
range of at least 100 miles (160km) and can run continuously for four
hours before the fuel cell needs recharging.
What's more, the bike's "exhaust" is water vapor and is so
clean that its drinkable.
Concerns are that the bike is too quiet and plans have been made
to add a motor sound to the bike so as to not startle pedestrians.
Though I must admit to kind of liking the idea of "stealth
mode" motorcycling.

Can You Slow Spammers Down?
Can You Slow Spammers Down?
02/16/2004 10:53 PMYet another anti-spam company is making news for their slightly
different take on how to stop spam. The company, TurnTide, is
offering a router for ISPs that watches over email traffic, and if the
traffic is consistent with that of spam,
the
system slows down the traffic to a crawl, making spamming less
lucrative, in theory. This is, basically, a more commercial means of
offering a greylisting solution. The company, which showed up with a
new $1 million in funding today at DEMO 2004, claims they have no
competitors - but that (as always) is untrue (and whoever invested in
them needs to tell them that). My guess, though, is that it won't
take spammers too long to figure out ways to get around this sort of
blocking maneuver. At their own end, they'll simply find
spam-sympathetic ISPs (as they do now) that would never use such a
system. Then, they'll probably just hijack more machines and have
them each send out limited amounts of email to trick the system into
believing they're legitimate.

01/17/2003 12:28 PMFor about a year now there has been a feeling of dark inevitability
growing in my consciousness. I've tried to ignore it, but it rears
its ugly head nearly everyday at the same time. I am of course
talking about the rumors of The Simpsons getting closer and closer to
being cancelled. Today, all of this stress has been relieved, at
least for a couple more years. The Simpsons has been renewed until at
least 2005. And you thought I was going to talk about war, right?
There seems to be a dearth of web standards (or related topics) news
as of late. Other than the quasi-anti-standards-movement (whatever
that means) that was the talk of blogspace for a few days. I like
Mark's new HTML 4 design more than his previous XHTML one.
