02/10/2004 05:32 PMSometimes, there are tradeoffs between efficiency and privacy. Lots
of people have different ideas for ways to avoid getting sent an RIAA
lawsuit if they're sharing music, but a student at Yale has worked out
a system that isn't particularly efficient - but is much more
difficult for the RIAA to track down. It's a "file sharing" website
where
people set
up a time and place to meet to physically exchange CDs - which
each person can then go off and copy (or not). The article describing
the system appears in rival Harvard's newspaper, and thus they're
pretty eager to point out why this system might be illegal. Of
course, it isn't actually illegal. It's not even facilitating illegal
activity as the point is just to let people swap legitimate CDs, which
is completely legal. If they then go off and make copies, that's a
legal issue that each individual needs to deal with, but the site is
not involved with that aspect of the transaction.

writes “A fascinating range of Kazaa’s internal documents
were revealed in Federal Court in the ongoing court case against the
Australian-based company today. One extraordinary philosophical
manifesto by the company’s chief technical officer showed that
he was aware that Kazaa’s activities were a huge legal risk. He
also feared being ‘out-innovated’ by other P2P programs
that didn’t come bundled with adware. “if consumers

Hijacked Computers Responsible For
One-Third Of All Spam
12/03/2003 03:44 PMPlenty of stories have been written about how many spammers are now
using hijacked machines infected with some sort of trojan horse
program to send out their spam. However, someone from an anti-virus
company is saying that these "Remote Access Trojans (RATs)" are now
respo
nsible for one-third of all spam. Ouch. Of course, they don't
back this up with any evidence, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's
true. They seem to be getting
plenty of publicity for this statement - but don't give any
suggestions on how to solve this problem. If they're hyping it so
much, you'd think those same articles would tell people how to protect
themselves. Since the issue is so widespread, and education is
unlikely to help, you have to wonder if a better solution is to have
the broadband ISPs help out by determining which machines have been
turned into "zombies" and alerting the owners.

Finding a Job with a Socially and
Environmentally Responsible Organization
Finding a Job with a Socially and
Environmentally Responsible Organization
06/05/2005 11:12 PM
Ten ideas that can help you find a meaningful job and make
the world a better place at the same time.
[posted from Orlando]
Many
of my readers would love to be working in jobs that help, rather than
hurt, the environment and the interests of peace, democracy, community
and sustainability, but either because they think they lack the
qualifications, or because they believe there are no real prospects
for
such a job, they have given up trying.
Peter Blanchard, who manages the wonderful GoodWork
Canada
site, which carries a very thorough list of such jobs, contracts,
internships & opportunities (paid and volunteer), has just written
an excellent article explaining how to find such a job. Here are the
key points with a few of my editorial comments and amplification
thrown
in for good measure:
- Know Where and How to Look:
The Internet is a powerful tool you can use to learn about issues,
approaches, organizations, and potential opportunities. Be sure you're
familiar with the major eco-portals and directories. Set aside a day
to
focus and explore them thoroughly. Here's a list
of links to all the major eco-portals, networks and
directories in Canada and beyond. While you surf, take notes,
bookmark,
set priorities, start a "do list". Develop standard resumes and
application letters that you can customize to each situation. Build an
active list of potential employment sources and an online network of
contacts.
- Use Your Network Aggressively:
Actively network and participate to learn, make contacts, and find
your
way around. The most effective networking happens when you're actively
involved -- whether as an organizer, participant, volunteer or
consultant. Take every opportunity for face-to-face meetings with
people in your networks (but never be dishonest about your objectives
in such meetings). If you go to conferences and trade shows, remember
that the most important exchanges at such meetings happen outside the
main agenda -- in breaks and post-even socials, in the corridors, and
in follow-up appointments made at these events where you don't have to
compete for attention with the rest of the crowd. Be positive and
energetic, smile, relax, and have fun.
In a previous article I identified ten keys to
effective networking. To recap, they are:
- Do your
research (who you want to meet, and when/how best to meet
them)
- Develop 'elevator speeches' (rehearse what you want to
say to make powerful first impressions)
- Don't underestimate
the 'strength of weak ties' (the
people who know the people you know, who can expand your connections
and lead to important new relationships whose value you cannot
anticipate)
- Listen and help (show you care, and that you can
offer something, before you try to sell anything)
- Never lie,
and don't tolerate bullshit from others
- Understand that every
conversation is an implicit contract
(know what the other person wants from a conversation, and be clear
about what you want)
- Follow through and follow up (never break
a promise or procrastinate)
- Learn to tell stories
well
- Prune your networks
- Manage your networks (move
relationships with the most important contacts forward
first)
- Join the Club: Join
at least a few organizations that interest and inspire you. As a paid
member you will be privy to regular communications from the
organization -- possibly including the first word on participation,
volunteer and job opportunities. If you do participate actively, you
may find yourself becoming even more "in the loop" (or if not, maybe
it's not the right organization for you). Your membership and
participation is of great importance to the organizations you support,
even if it's hard to see. Here are some environmental and
peace
organizations across Canada to consider.
- Do Your Research: If
you find an opportunity that interests you, even if you don't get an
interview consider how you can position yourself to know more about
them and meet with people in the organization so that the next time
they post an opportunity, you'll have an inside track. And also
research other organizations that do similar work and make contacts
with them so that you're positioned in advance if similar
opportunities
come up with them.
- Participate: Volunteer<
/a>
or attend events of organizations you'd like to work for. But don't
take on tasks you dislike or can't do, don't promise what you can't
deliver, and don't overcommit. Do such a great volunteer job that when
paid work arises they'll see no point in posting the opportunity
widely. But first, give some thought to what kinds of roles you're
looking for, and why. Other than one-time help at events, applying for
a volunteer position should be given the same degree of thought as
applying for paid work. Do a little research, do some planning, and
have a resume at hand (and a cover letter, if it's a competitive
posting). Even if you don't need a cover letter, writing one can help
you think about your interests and competencies. It's all about
matchmaking -- understanding your own needs and wants, and those of
the
organization. And
communicating them effectively. To do less can be a waste of both your
time and the organization's. Rapid volunteer turnover (or
unreliability) can be a real burden -- it's the main reason why some
organizations no longer seek volunteers (or may need to be convinced
that you're worth investing time in). So don't take it
lightly. - Reduce Your Need to Work: If you live simply,
economically and sustainably, and focus your life and activities on
things that really matter to you, you may find your salary needs drop
substantially, which means you will have a greater choice of job and
volunteer opportunities to choose from, and the choice of what to do
might become less urgent and more obvious to you. You might even find
you don't need to work at all.
- Increase Your Knowledge and Expertise:
Learn
more about the issues and questions that the organizations you'd be
interested in working for are facing, and about some of the possible
answers to those questions. For example, you might bone up on
fundraising techniques, writing grant proposals, sustainability, brownfield<
/a>
development, climate change, bioregionalism, or improve your
communications skills. And learn about what is strategically important
to such organizations, so you can advise them on 'big picture'
issues.
- Create Your Own Job: Find a need
and fill it with your own Natural Enterprise.
- Know What Makes You
Happy, Who You Are and What You're Good At: Magic happens at
the intersections of needs, passions and competencies -- yours, and
potential employers' and customers'.
- Be Innovative:
Most people and organizations don't know what's really needed, or how
to meet these needs creatively, economically or differently. Come up
with some new ideas, talk them up, and work with others to get things
you really care about implemented. Chances are if you get associated
with such successes, your talent will not go unnoticed and new career
opportunities will open up.
