Weak Spam Laws Plus No Enforcement
Equals Waste Of Time 04/16/2004 11:32 AM
Over in the UK, where they passed their own weak anti-spam law last year (saying it was okay to spam businesses) it turns out things are worse than they seem - as the law is only window dressing for a year or more. The authorities charged with enforcing the law are saying they don't have the necessary resources to actually enforce the law, and probably won't get around to do anything until next year. So, spammers in the UK have just been given notice to... keep on spamming.

Unusual paintball equipment

Unusual paintball equipment 02/05/2005 09:02 PM
Speci al Ops Paintball's Razorback Mechanized Tank, made from an Israeli reconnaissance vehicle, can fire 30 .68-caliber paintballs per second, launches Nerf rockets, and has space for a driver and three gunners, all for just $42,000. Julius Tank looks more like a truck than a tank. I've never met these two tank crews, but after taking on similar vehicles, I know how humbling it is to watch 30 of your teammates get eliminated in mere seconds after one of these bad boys arrives. Luckily, they can be defeated by any medium-sized Nerf weaponry.

eBay: Paintball Gatling Gun

eBay: Paintball Gatling Gun 09/10/2004 01:16 PM

I'm automatically dubious of anything this awesome, but someone is selling a six-barrel, 288-round-per-second paintball (originally typed: painful) mini-gun capable of being mounted to a jeep or carried around on one's back, like Arnie The Body in Predator. Called the Veeker ML9, this 'just a little out of regulation' gun can be yours on eBay UK for the starting bid of around $14,000.

Whoever buys it, you have a duty to take a video and post it to the web. (Thanks, Helmuth!)

Update: Oh my god, you guys are all such huge nerds. Okay, it wasn't Arnie, but a previous Governator, Jessie Ventura! I swear to god I think I've gotten more emails about this screwup than anything in my run as editor. If it weren't such an egregious geek error on my part, I'd make fun of you all even more.

Self-he lp equals self-harm? Are self-help books harmful rather than helpful? This article argues that dissatisfaction with one's abilities and achievements will not not be helped by affirmations of self-worth. Nor will we succeed in coping with the bitter feelings for those who have wronged us by practing the "anger therapy" of slamming a punching bag. [More Inside]

When Zero Equals Many in Windows XP

When Zero Equals Many in Windows XP 06/04/2004 09:11 AM
Wired News looks into Windows XP's dropped Wi-Fi connection problem: Daniel Terdiman tries to dig for the bodies in his search for why Windows XP drops Wi-Fi network connections inexplicably and often shows them as still active. Microsoft claims there's no systematic problem, but it's clear from reading any forum in which Wi-Fi is discussed--such as the DSLReports.com site--that this is a frequent issue. My solution, provided to me by a vendor about two years ago, of restarting Wireless Zero Configuration is explained in the article. This has solved 99 percent of my Windows XP Wi-Fi problems, but it's nestled so deeply that it's baffling. I've felt for a while that Microsoft should have a top-level interface to WZC because when it stops running, the user has no idea that anything's afoot until they drill down, down, down, and see that the setting reads "not running."...

UK Indie Labels Claim Apple's Offer

UK Indie Labels Claim Apple's Offer
Equals Commercial Suicide 06/15/2004 11:49 AM
While Apple continues to expand their iTunes offering to Europe, many of the larger independent labels in the UK and France have decided not to participate, calling the offer Apple made them "commercial suicide." They claim that Apple is trying to bully them, using its position as the dominant downloadable music retailer to force the smaller labels into accepting a deal that gives them much less than their major label colleagues. Of course, they don't detail exactly what was offered, so it's tough to tell which side (and it certainly could be both) is really being greedy here.

Tragedy of Fearless

I wrote a comment elsewhere that was memorable but not exactly right, so I'll post it here as a note to myself.

Being fearless without being peerless is a formula for tragedy.

Maybe some of my quotes will make it into the book of quotes someday. :-)

Night Club Tragedy

Night Club Tragedy 02/21/2003 10:53 PM

Last night I was laying in bed watching the local news and right towards the end of their broadcast they mentioned they had breaking news of a club fire in West Warwick. They didn't comment much on it at the time, and I didn't give it a second thought as they went back to Leno. Today, almost one hundred local residents are dead, and another two hundred are injured. I live about a half hour from the club that burnt down. In fact, right next to the club is a car repair shop that has done work on my car. I do not know anyone that was in the fire, but I thank the local firemen for saving what the papers are saying is a hundred lives, and I grieve for the families of the victims.

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance 12/19/2003 11:36 AM
To say that The Conqueror, the Howard Hughes-backed film about Ghengis Kahn with John Wayne as the lead, is an awful film is somewhat of an understatement. Bad acting in the hot Nevada desert surrounded by radiation from the Yucca Flats lead to around 90 people getting cancer and 30 dying from it. They even shipped radioactive sand back to Hollywood for extra scenes. Lost in La Mancha doesn't seem so bad in retrospect.

Two years ago - a tremendous tragedy. 07/01/2004 05:17 AM
On 1 July 2002 at 21:35:32 hrs a collision between a Tupolev TU154M, which was on a flight from Moscow/Russia to Barcelona/ Spain, and a Boeing B757-200, on a flight from Bergamo/Italy to Brussels/ Belgium, occurred north of the city of Ueberlingen (Lake of Constance). Investigation Report as of May 2004, PDF. Very detailed, intelligibly written.

71 people were killed in one of Europe's worst peacetime air accidents. The report comes the the conclusion that human error was the main cause. The TCAS system (PDF) which should have prevented the collision worked, but the Tupolew crew followed the ATC instructions. It turned out that the air traffic controller missed a key warning on his radar screen in one of a chain of errors. ATCs from nearby airports realized what was going on but weren't able to contact the responsible Skyguide controller because the telephone network did not work: the main telephone line was switched off because of work being done on the telephone network, and the collision warning system was temporarily shut down for maintenance.
The ATC in charge was stabbed to death in February 2004 by a Russian man who lost his wife, son and daughter in the plane crash.

Tragedy of the network commons 08/09/2004 09:11 AM

A recent survey found that 75 percent of Dartmouth students have shared their network passwords. They like having people who know their password, explained Denise Anthony, a sociologist who spoke at the PKI summit conference I attended earlier this month. "They like having someone who can check their e-mail for them or log them in to places where they're supposed to be."

As security technologists, we’re easily dazzled by our shiny cryptographic swords. But while we’re brandishing our swords, our users -- like Indiana Jones in that famous scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark -- might simply pull out their guns and shoot us. Better security protocols alone can’t thwart such game-changing behavior. We need to understand what motivates the behavior and figure out which carrots and sticks will influence it. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

The responses to this column expressed a mixture of hope and resignation. The hope: that in a token-based authentication regime, tokens will feel more like personal property than passwords do, and that as a result, there will be less promiscuous behavior. The resignation: that, as one reader put it, "there is no access control system that is so convenient that some significant percentage of users will not intentionally circumvent it in one way or another at least some of the time." ...
