orthagonal to RIAA's response to
"piracy"`
01/27/2004 07:32 PMActual piracy is on the rise. That is to say, more people are boarding
more ships with more guns and shooting more people and taking more
cargo, all the while uttering more horrible cries of "ARRRRR."
Strangely, the shipping industry's response isn't to keelhaul
passengers who don't tip well on ocean cruises, or to hull random
pleasure boats, or to demand special bow-mounted lasers that vaporize
any ship that gets within a hundred miles.
Around the world, more than 20 sailors are known to have been murdered
by pirates last year.
Seventy are missing, presumed dead.
Other trends are also emerging: ships are now less likely to be
hijacked for their cargo; attackers, possibly from militant groups,
are seizing ships and ransoming their crew.

Trying To Answer The What's Next
Question
05/07/2004 02:58 PMCNET's News.com has been publishing their well done series of articles
on offshoring this week, and have concluded with two that are worth
reading. The first isn't really a part of the series, but goes well
with it, explaining (again!) why
protectionist
plans don't work. This has been explained over and over again,
and there are countless examples of how protectionist policies cause
many more problems than they solve, but apparently, it needs to be
reviewed once more. The second piece is much more interesting. The
question that anti-offshoring people always bring up is "what other
jobs are there?" They're afraid that all jobs will be offshored and
then there will be nothing left (except, the example they love,
flipping burgers). Of course, history has shown that's not what
happens at all. The US was an agricultural economy for a long time,
and we shifted and it certainly made life very difficult for a lot of
people - but we innovated and created new jobs and a higher standard
of living. We've done so again and again and again. So News.com is
looking at
what
might be next. The problem, of course, is that it's difficult to
predict what really is next. So often disruptive advancements seem to
come from unexpected places. Researchers working on one thing
serendipitously discover a completely different breakthrough that
leads to an entire new industry. Of course, to put that all together
though, we need to support better education and push for more research
and development (which often isn't helped when companies only think in
the short term thanks to Wall Street). However, to prepare for
"what's next" we need to create a culture that involves constant
learning and education focused on useful areas of expertise - and not
so much on specific tactical expertise. Understanding how to make a
horse and buggy isn't useful - but understanding the basic concepts
concerning transportation is still useful no matter what mode of
transportation is used. Having that base of knowledge, with constant
additional training, let's someone work on buggies, automobiles,
trains, planes and whatever else comes next.

Seems like Scott Fallin
really likes UNIX, thinks he's God and writes software that all of us
care about (not sure what that is.)
Here's his 'opinion' of me (my reply follows):
The Obtuse Nature of GUI Fanatics
I find esr’s post about the difficulty of configuring CUPS
(Common UNIX Printer System) to be very amusing. While I’m not
CUPS guru, I have set it up a time or two and found it to be simple
and straightforward. It can be configured via a web browser, after
all. UNIX and its ilk is about tinkering, experimenting and getting
things done in a powerful way. If people want software handed to them,
they know where to go. Redmond and Cupertino make decent enough UIs.
The luser can be spared the foray into the bowels operating system
itself, should that be their wish. In his post, esr has a fictional
Aunt Tillie “getting the idea that this software was written by
geeks without clue.” No, esr. The software was written by geeks
who don’t give a damn about Aunt Tillie and her need to print and
you know that. These geeks have a significant clue. It is simply not
the clue you wish them to have. I respect your abilities as a
programmer. Fetchmail has made my life easier for years. But you are
wrong. Microsoft is still in business because of trade alliances it
has formed with consumers, hardware vendors and resellers. It is still
in business because it has the lion’s share of the market and
that market’s data is stored in proprietary formats. Bringing
Linux to Aunt Tillie’s desktop and making it easy on her will not
slay this Goliath. You of all people should know this. In all
likelihood, Aunt Tillie would be happy with WebTV. Let her have
it.
Marching further into the opinionated front, we find Marc Canter,
would be impresario. Marc states, in Open Source
UIs his belief that open source software programmers should
somehow decided upon a standardized set of hooks so that those who
specialize in UI design can easily plug their UI in.
Why would anyone even attempt to organize such a project? There is
a single common interface across UNIX-like operating systems. It is
called the shell, Marc. UNIX is not a beauty contest. UNIX is a vast
tool. This tool works best when all the point-and-drool UI cosmetics
fall away.
The fact is, Marc wants ease of use and pretty UI on top of open
source so he can better leverage it against his commerce driven ideas.
Mark wants this because the masses want this. Why he thinks open
source should give it too him is beyond my grasp.
Why do I suddenly feel the need to alter the GPL so that I can
release my code under the proviso that Marc Canter or anyone sharing
his genetic material cannot use it.
Then again, I could just make it too hard for folks like him to
figure out. [sh.ortb.us]
Scott seems to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed (the day
he wrote this.) But since I love clarifying people who don't get
what I say - I feel compelled to reply:
1. I'm not altering anybody's GPL - or anything as coniving
as "commerce related" doodley squat. Great compelling Uis
certainly have more to do with making Aunt Tillie's experience better
- no matter how obnoxious, arogant or misunderstanding you UNIX guys
portend to come off.
In fact I have to admit I've heard fo folks like Scott before - I
just never have had the pleasure of running into them. Which
leads me to ask......
2. What is it that you write that we (I) care about?
When I say UIs - I mean jukeboxes, video players, phto albums,
blogging tools, editing systems, topic libraries, knowledge management
and digital ifestyle aggregation systems. What is it that you do
- Scott?
3. Rather than think of UI APIs as generic - I think Scott
needss to think of them as VERY specific. To build
inter-changeable (sometimes known as skins) UIs, it takes very very
detailed data model objects, nomenclature, guidelines and what we used
to say "Interface Police" rules.
This Microsoft and Apple's bread and butter. But anybody
who's used Gnome, worked at Apple or Microsoft or 100 other companies
- knows this stuff in their sleep. It's time we all just banded
together.
4. Which leads me to Scott's rather rude allegations that I
have some sort of evil goals in mind. That doing something with
'commerce' in mind can ONLY mean - BAD things. I gotta say I'm
disappointed in Scott.
The trick is how to do something free and open and STILL win at the
bank. If I (or anybody associated with me) can pull that off - it
won't be for ripping off, taking advantage of or acting like an
asshole to the world. It'll be because we're bettering the world,
bringing value added features and functionality to the world of open
source and if anything - brgining in a little professionalism that my
25+ years in this business has taught me.
If you got a problem with that - then:
- make your software is better than ours. We don't GET
anything from open source, we GIVE to open source.
- make sure to support or promulgate lots of open standards (like
we are)
- and we'll meet at the shootout at the Slashdot Corral. May
the better man win.
- and hey, along the way - you could contribute ideas to the world
too - like I do.
- what's wrong with that? If you don't like um - ignore me -
please
If you got a problem with that - sorry. But certainly don't
accuse me of shit that's completely false, ranging on libelous.
And oh yah - keep making your stuff difficult to understand and
figure out. Brilliant strategy dude. Go for it. I'm sure
you'll get LOTS of powerful, sophisticated customers - just like
you.

01/04/2004 10:50 AMDave Rogers asks, in a comment to my posting about canvassing for
Dean, why I'm supporting the Gov. Here's my reply: If you matched my
positions up with the candidates' (see the WBUR vote by issue quiz),
it'd come out pretty much a wash among all of them except Lieberman.
So, although overall I prefer Dean's stances, I'm not voting primarily
on the issues. There are two other reasons I'm supporting Dean. First,
I think he has the best chance to beat Bush. There are clearly
reasonable arguments about this and I have never made an accurate
political prediction. But...
