software market will be even more competitive if Oracle is permitted
to buy PeopleSoft.
Uh, doubtful. Prices tend to rise in duopolies. Three dominant players
are a lot more competitive than two. No wonder SAP might not
disapprove of this deal.

Mali gets nothing for its grain

The failure of biotech. "In June 1996, the University of
California, Davis, began an unprecedented effort to help the West
African nation of Mali, using the promising and controversial new tool
of agricultural biotechnology... Eight years later, no help whatsoever
has arrived... In the hopes that inspired the effort - and the
missteps that stifled it - lies a drama larger than the sum of its
parts, one that shows both the promise and pitfalls of the largest
technological leap in American agriculture since the tractor:
biotechnology." The start of a five-part series in the
Sacramento Bee: long, but well worth it. (Via

03/20/2003 01:05 PMThe future of storage technology represents a confluence of
conflicting adjectives: larger, smaller; expanding, contracting.
"Larger" typically describes capacity; "smaller" refers to physical
space used. In an unending quest to fit more data into less space, the
industry is changing its focus from stand-alone products to networked
solutions.

say experts.

Detroit's salt mine
Detroit's salt mine
04/04/2005 01:18 PMDavid Pescovitz:
There's a 1,400 acre working salt mine a quarter-mile underneath the
city of Detroit. (Some citizens are complaining that blasting in the
mine is damaging their homes.
Link<
/a>) The mining began at the start of the 20th century. Public tours
were available in the 1980s but the Detroit Salt Company current "Public Tour
Policy" is simply that they don't offer them. From a Detroit News
article:
Mules, lowered by rope down the narrow shaft into the mine, were used
in the early mining operations. Once down in the mines, they stayed
there until they died.
Workers decended in a two-level elevator in which six men pressed
face-to-face during the long ride down.
Getting equipment down into the massive cavern provided many problems.
Pickup trucks, jeeps and large trucks had to be cut up or disassembled
and lowered down the shaft piece by piece, to be reassembled in shop
areas below. Large dump truck tires too big for the shaft had to be
compressed and bound before they would fit down the opening.
In a 1925 Detroit News article, miner Joel Payton told about his salt
mine job. "The only dirty part of this job is going down to work," Mr.
Payton explained.

04/04/2005 06:25 PMDavid Pescovitz:
My earlier post about Detroit's salt mine reminded underground
explorer
Julia Solis of the magnificent and massive Wieliczka Salt Mine in
Poland. From the Salt Mine Tourist site:
Hidden below the town, situated on 9 levels, reaching 327 m deep
Wieliczka underground is nearly 300 km of galleries and 3000 chambers.
3,5 km route 64-135 m below ground level is available for tourists.
Magnificent chapels, captivating underground lakes, original tools and
equipment, traces of mining works give the comprehension about
people's fight against the elements, their work, passion and beliefs.
Wieliczka miners left lots of salt carvings and murals. After the
sightseeing, tourists can rest in the chamber complex 125 m
underground where they can find souvenir shops, restaurant and a post
office.

(Thanks, Julia!)

Salt Spring Coffee Morning
04/25/2004 12:28 PMA good morning to you; I’m having one.
Genx is (finally)
passing almost the whole XML test suite, a nice Bach cantata fills the
air (Leonhardt’s take on BWV12,
Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen,
Zagen), and I’m drinking a damn fine cup of coffee. The
coffee’s from
Salt Spring
Coffee, which is substantially better than the beans from the
local Starbucks. Salt Spring gets a tip o’ the hat because I was
going to write about them sometime last year but their Web site was
totally IE-centric and I couldn’t use it, so I sent them a note
pointing this out, and just checked it out and now it’s fixed; quite
decent in fact. We lean to the
Fre
nch Roast, but some might find this blend a little too exuberantly
dark. If you like good coffee, there’s no substitute for buying
beans, keeping them in the fridge, getting a good grinder and doing it
right. I remain convinced that the classic Melitta pour-through system
can’t be beat, and also convinced that a well-done Norteamericano
filter coffee is the equal of any fancy espresso-based drink, and also
has twice the caffeine, which is good. Not that you’d want to give
up all those nice espresso drinks, there’s a time and place for
everything. When I finish the coffee and knock down a couple more test
cases, we’ll go do some gardening. Life is good.

04/20/2004 07:25 AMThe Mayor of Salt Lake City is opposed to municipal Internet projects,
because the Internet is bad for your quality of life and deprives you
of fresh air.
"I just don't see the social good in using taxpayer money to fund a
network that provides more television and bandwidth for illegally
downloading files," he said. "We should spend money on getting people
fit, rather than deteriorating their quality of life with higher
bandwidth to surf the Net."
