Destroy Troy

Destroy Troy 07/05/2004 05:49 PM

When I wake up I usually find some interesting remains in my mind.  It's as if the brain forgot to flush the cache when I awake.  This morning it was the thought that the word 'destroy' originated from the fall of Troy.  So to destroy is to suffer the same fate as the city of Troy did.

Is this true?  Dictionaries I looked up didn't list Troy as the origin of the word.  Searching Google returns many pages that mention the city of Troy and the word destory together yet none seems to suggest there there might be a closer relationship between the word and the name.

Seems unlikely though.  The concept of destruction has a long history and, while the destruction of Troy took place long time ago, use of the word 'destroy' to mean 'do the same as what was done to Troy' would require a lot of story telling.

A: Destroy that city by nightfall!
B: Do what?
A: Destroy!  Turn it into rubble like Troy.
B: Troy?  What's that?
A: *sigh* You never heard about Troy?  Giant Horse?
B: Uh, no.  Why don't you tell us?

More likely, the word is related to the word 'destruction', removal of structures, but it's fun to play with words anyway.

How people destroy technology

How people destroy technology 12/28/2004 09:25 PM
Cory Doctorow: Technology Review covers Kent Norman, "a cognitive psychologist who studies how people destroy their technology -- sometimes on purpose, but oftentimes out of frustration."

"Struck mid-size tower with car going 25mph, propelling it 15-20 feet forward. This causes damage to car but troublesome DVD drive finally ejected jammed disc upon contact with pavement. Still worked but HDD reported errors, and case wasn't attractive. Sold on eBay (with new case and HDD). Beware of this computer if you find it on eBay."

"Slammed keyboard with fists hard enough to pop most of the keys off. Lost the 'A' key and the top row of characters stopped working. Threw keyboard into the swimming pool. Kinda nice watching it sink."

"Smashing boards and plastic bits with a hammer is satisfying. Stomping on things that make a nice "CRUNCH" noise is even more satisfying. "

"I once shot a computer with a .50 cal BMG sniper rifle."

U.S. Plans Tidal Wave of Nuclear Proliferation They want to tell all the non-nuclear states: “Y’all must stay non-nuclear, but we’ll have as many nukes as we want. We’ll make new nukes but keep the old. And if you don’t like it, just take a good look at Iraq, because you could be next.” The message coming from the Bush administration and the U.S. media is clear. It’s not about the danger of weapons of mass destruction. It’s about using the fear of that danger, along with our own growing nuclear arsenal, as a club to rule the schoolyard roost.

Will Bush now destroy Baghdad to "save"

Christine Hauser reports in the NYT today: Americans found themselves fighting intensely against two main segments of the population, using warplanes, attack helicopters and armored units against the groups the United States had said it came to liberate when it invaded war in March last year. Pulitzer prize winning journalist Anthony Shadid filed this report from Baghdad in the Washington Post today: "The Mahdi Army is the people," said Abu Raja Kinani, a tribal elder in the neighborhood, his voice exasperated. "They're the sons of all the city." In a population caught between an occupier's armor and an indigenous guerrilla force, the full truth of Kinani's sloganeering is all but impossible to determine. Yet again and again in interviews Wednesday across the teeming slum of 2 million, residents repeated Kinani's formulation in words of their own. Destroying the Mahdi Army, they said, might be possible only by destroying Sadr City. "Of course we are all Mahdi Army," said Whalid Johi Minshid, 25, standing in the rubble of a rooftop pierced by a missile from an Apache attack helicopter near where Hashem was shot. "Because this is our belief, our religious leaders." Resistance enjoys support of large portion of civilian population. Check. Resistance is civilian by day, guerrilla by night? Check. Resistance is fighting against a foreign occupier that claims support for democracy but is actually allied with corrupt elite? Check. Sounds like a small country in South East Asia a generation ago, in another war where the political leadership of America involved America in a war overseas under false pretenses, and made the American military and the civilians of the occupied country pay the price for its lies. We know how that ended -- not well for anyone, neither Americans or Vietnamese. And it sounds like we are on the same course again. Bush's incompetent arrogance is setting us up for another defeat....
