Seattle Bans Wi-Fi for Public Safety
Reasons
Seattle Bans Wi-Fi for Public Safety
Reasons
04/01/2005 11:54 AM
A
report in TidBITS dated April 1 explains Seattle's recent coffeehouse
ban: As we all know, Wi-Fi commonly operates in the 2.4
GHz band, the same band used by microwave ovens to heat food through
the bipolar effect in which rapid switching causes friction in water
molecules. (Not resonance as is often mistakenly stated.)
This can apparently lead to dangerous results not previously seen as
the density of Wi-Fi usage increases. At a local coffeeshop, an
ill-advised gateway placement and too many Wi-Fi users resulted in the
espresso machine's boiler exploding from too much pressure. Several
were injured, only one seriously; all were bloggers.
Seattle has formed the WTF (Wi-Fi Testing Foundation) to better
understand this incident, but has proactively banned Wi-Fi until the
results come in.

Chicago's public sculpture can't be

Chicago's public sculpture can't be
photographed by the public
02/07/2005 02:07 AMCory Doctorow:
Chicago spent $270 million on its Millennium Park, placing a big
public sculpture by Anish Kapoor in the middle of it, bought with
public money. Woe betide any member of the public who tries to
photograph this sculpture, though: it's a
copyrighted
sculpture and Chicago is spending even more money policing
Chicagoans who try to photograph it and make a record of what their
tax-dollars bought.
If I were them, I'd ask for my money back. What kind of jerk sculptor
sells the city a piece of public art for a public park and then
demands that no one take pictures of it? Christ, they should run this
guy out of town on a rail and melt the goddamned sculpture down for
scrap. Then they should fire the politician who signed a purchase
contract that reserved the photographic rights and run him out of town
on the same rail. Between the artist's greed and the procurement
officer's malfeasance, this is about the vilest display of human
venality I've heard of all day.
The copyrights for the enhancements in Millennium Park are owned by
the artist who created them. As such, anyone reproducing the works,
especially for commercial purposes, needs the permission of that
artist.

Airline Meltdowns
Airline Meltdowns
12/27/2004 09:38 PMIt's easy to understand the frustration felt by the workers at
hard-pressed US Airways (and other legacy airlines), who've seen the
bottom drop out of their companies' finances and their own paychecks
in the past couple of years. But if it turns out that last weekend's
"operational meltdown" at US Airways (the airline management's own
description) was due, as has been charged, to
an employee sickout, then the workers
will have helped kill what's left of their own jobs.
The unions are blaming management's lousy planning, which is
definitely a possibility. Bad weather contributed, too, no doubt.
Maybe it's all of the above.
Meanwhile, the
t
echnology meltdown at Comair, a regional carrier that came
completely to a halt, is just incredible. I can't wait to hear what
caused this.
When passengers start deciding they can't remotely count on a carrier,
they'll stop buying tickets, period. There are too many choices.
