Wonderful system of government. Fake democracy, fake elections, fake political system surrounded by humbug and greedy lawyers. This allows business to get on with its tasks, buying candidates, a bribe here, a bribe there. An interview with Karl Marx.

Karl Marx On Religion

Karl Marx On Religion 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
Perhaps Karl Marx's best known quotation is his description of religion as "the opiate of the masses." This quote is often misrepresented by those ideologically opposed to Marx as though Marx were advocating immediate and total obliteration of all religions. On the contrary, Marx viewed religion as the sole solace, often, of the oppressed proletarian classes. He would not have dreamed of tearing this away, their only consolation in life. Lutheranism was the prescribed Prussian state religion, and career advancement for non-Lutherans and especially Jews was difficult to impossible. But for Marx, religion in general was merely a symptom of a much larger issue -- the fundamentally predatorial economic relationship between the bourgeois class and the proletariat -- rather than religion being a fundamental problem in itself. As Napoleon put it, "Religion is great stuff for keeping the poor from murdering the rich."

Karl Lagerfeld put these Chanel-branded TV belts on runway models during their Spring/Summer 2005 show, harnessing the captivating double-team of the moving image and the swaggering crotch. Chanel has said there are no plans to bring the TV Belts into production, but you can surely do something similar if you can scrounge up an old crotch somewhere.

Karl Rove: Apologize, resign, or both 06/24/2005 09:59 PM
As a liberal, I'm not insulted by Karl Rove's remark that "liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." He's just demagoging based on a seed of truth: I do want to understand our attackers (because it's stupid in n dimensions not to understand the people you're fighting) and I do want a nuanced, well-thought-out response that will actually make my children safer, rather than the kneejerk Bomb Someone strategery we got from Bush and Rove. So, fine, politicians exaggerate the positions they don't like and even...

I never thought that I'd agree with Karl
Rove about anything, but I do today 05/06/2004 06:06 AM
Before Bush launched his war on Iraq, I argued about the folly of a predominantly Christian nation trying to impose a Richard "Prince of Darkness" Perle-Ahmed Chalabi type of democracy on Iraq with bayonets and bombs. I also argued that the logic of American troops in Iraq, at best estranged fron Iraqis by barriers of religion, culture and language, would soon cause American troops to be seen as occupiers, and would cause American troops to act as occupying armies always act in a strange land. My experience of living in an Arab country for two years convinced me that the United States was headed for disaster. But I confess, I never imagined this: Some outraged member of the military has leaked some more photos of Iraqis being abused and tortured by American soldiers to the Washington Post, and the Washington Post is leading, on their website at least, with this (cropped) photo of a naked Iraqi man on a dog leash being held by a female American soldier. These pictures show at least a minimal amount of knowledge of Arab culture, because if one was seeking to humiliate an Arab man, presumably a citizen of the country we claim we are liberating, it would be hard to do more. Each and every item visible in this picture would contribute to that humiliation. Buried in a stupid NYT story about a stupid inside-the-Beltway-only Washington game about Bush pretending to spank Rumsfeld for having been caught abusing Arabs was a second-hand quote by Bush's brain, Karl Rove, who: told one Bush adviser that he believes that it will take a generation for the United States to live this scandal down in the Arab world Well, I finally agree with Karl Rove about something. It will take decades, if not a century, to undo the damage in the Arab world that Bush has done in 3 years. And Americans will pay a heavy price in the meantime. Tell me again how Bush's war on Iraq has helped the so-called "War on Terrorism?" At this point, we will be lucky if the leaders of all the Arab countries, including all our former allies, don't publically encourage their young men to take revenge on America for these abominations. Bush's war on Iraq has been a disaster, on a practical as well as moral front. As I said earlier this week, we are continuing to aid...

Nightmare

Nightmare 03/14/2005 06:21 PM
Last night, right before midnight some smartass broke into my computer and decided to remove all traces of his visit by deleting everything. And I mean everything.

We decided to upgrade the hardware from a 266 MHz PII to a dual-Athlon-1.3 GHz while we were at it, changed the server operating system and are trying to restore the data. Unfortunately, some key config files seem to be missing, so it'll take a while. Apache+Tomcat is a very nasty combination at times.

It's not yet known how the guy got into the system.

If you need to email me, please use my GMail address jalkanen@gmail.com, as I cannot yet rely on my regular email system. Thank you.

Wi-Fi Nightmare?

Wi-Fi Nightmare? 10/28/2003 11:09 PM
Some businesses may rue the day they began offering Wi-Fi: At least according to this writer, who thinks that coffee shops and McDonald's restaurants are running into problems with laptop users parking to use the Internet without buying much. In reality, this doesn't seem to be the case. While Wi-Fi in McDonald's is an unusual fit, it's not unusual because the Wi-Fi may encourage people to camp out, as the author of this piece suggests. I spoke with a McDonald's exec a couple of months ago and in fact McDonald's would like to encourage people to hang out in the restaurants. Apparently most people take their food to go. If they decide to sit and eat, he reasoned, they may end up buying more food. Many cafes say that Wi-Fi is drawing customers into their shops during the least busy times. I think that customers will self-police themselves during busy times. For example, I went up to my local coffee shop on a Sunday morning toting my laptop. The place was packed and I barely managed to get a seat. Because of the crowds, I left as soon as I was done with my tea to give someone else my seat, rather then hang out over my Wi-Fi connection. I think a lot of people would do the same....

My Corbis Nightmare

My Corbis Nightmare 06/11/2004 02:26 PM

Yesterday, I wanted to buy a stock image from Corbis to use in a Web site I'm developing. It was a standard hi-res image of a man standing in front of a building reading a newspaper. This should have been simple...

For those that don't know, Corbis is the largest respository of digital images in the world. It's owned by our good friend, Bill Gates (though not Microsoft, I understand — Bill owns Corbis personally).

After I found the image on Corbis, I clicked it and got a pop-up window. I found a link called "Pricing" and clicked it. Simple enough — things were looking straightforward.

Then Corbis told me that I had to be logged in. Why? Annoying, but I guessed at my username and password to the best of my recollection. Wrong password. I tried the "forgot my password" link. I had to have the answer to a question ("What is your favorite name?") that I must have set up when I created the account two years ago. Four guesses later, I got it.

The password arrived via email, and I managed to get logged in. I went back to my image and clicked "Pricing." This is what I got:

This image is distributed as Rights Managed. To price this image, add it to your Lightbox or Cart and click "Find Price" to answer a few usage questions.

What is "Rights Managed"? For that matter, what's a "lightbox" (no Wikipedia entry for it — I looked)? Is it a shopping cart? Well, no, because there was a shopping cart too. I found a link under the image that said "lightbox" and clicked it. Nothing happened. I looked around some more.

There was a lower frame in the browser window with a link that said "Create new lightbox." Now, at this point I still don't know what a "lightbox" is, but evidently I have to have one, so I clicked that link.

The resulting pop-up (thank God I wasn't running a blocker — this site lives on pop-ups) asked for a "name," "a client name," and a "parent lightbox." Evidently all I needed to enter was a name. I named my lightbox "THIS SUCKS."

Now that I had a lightbox (but not a clue), I was able to add my image, and a thumbnail of it appeared in the lower frame. Score one for me.

I went back to my image and clicked on the "Pricing" link. Same message as before:

This image is distributed as Rights Managed. To price this image, add it to your Lightbox or Cart and click "Find Price" to answer a few usage questions.

But now there was a little button that said "Price this Image." Awesome — we're making progress. I clicked the button, hopefully.

I then got a little wizard. I had to a pick a "Category," which appeared to be how I was going to use the image. I picked "Web/CDROM." Then I had to pick a "Use Type." My options were "Educational," "Single-Use," and "Multiple-URL." Since this was going to go in the Web site banner, I picked "Multiple-URL."

Another form appeared below the first. The heading was "Secondary Usage Parameters." I could check either "Exclusive Rights" or "Multiple Uses." I think this meant whether I wanted the image all to myself, or whether other people could use it too. I didn't care, really, but there was a warning that read:

Selecting "Exclusive Rights" or "Multiple Uses" will restrict your ability to get online pricing.

I left both options blank. The rest of the fields in the form were required.

The next option was "Geo. Distribution" and there was a list of countries. Geographic distribution? This is going on the Web — it can be accessed anywhere. I picked "World." (What if I had picked "United States" — would I have to geolocate my visitors and block the foreign ones?)

Duration? Well, forever, I guess. But "two years" was the longest, so I picked that.

Industry? Real estate. Simple enough.

Language? What the.... this is picture! There is no language! I picked "All."

Exposure? "1-4 Web sites"

I said a little prayer and clicked "Apply Usage." Here's what I got:

Online pricing of Rights Managed images is not available for the usage you have selected. Please contact your Corbis account representative to obtain pricing.

I slowly cocked the revolver and placed it against my temple...

First of all, what does "Rights Managed" mean, anyway? (Yes, I searched Wikipedia...nothing). Second, I don't have a "Corbis account representative."

I looked around the page some more, and to my amazement, I found a link in the header for "My rep". I clicked it and was taken to what looked like, by all appearances, a standard contact page. In fact, the email address was "sales@corbis.com". Yeah, that looks like my rep all right... [insert eye rolling here]

Since I had come so far, I sent an email anyway asking for pricing on the image and giving the ID number. Here's what I got back:

For pricing & licensing information or research on Corbis images, please contact our sales support team at 1-800-260-0444. When you call, please be prepared to provide the image number(s) you are interested in as well as the usage specifications. To receive pricing, you must be registered at our Professional Use website. A sales support team member will be happy to register you over the phone or you may do so online.

Are you kidding me with this? I'm done with Corbis for good. I will find another man standing in front of another building reading another newspaper — this particular guy isn't worth the trouble anymore.

Does anyone know a good site where I can purchase simple stock images?
