TRIVI
AL PURSUIT® for Palm OS
"The world's most popular trivia game is now available for users of
Palm Powered handheld devices. With incredible new game features, the
TRIVIAL PURSUIT® Handheld Edition rewards the clever, while still
highlighting everyone's trivia talents. The game features over 1600
questions in six categories- Sports and Leisure, Arts and
Entertainment, History, Science and Nature, People and Places, and
Wild Card.
In Classic mode, players of the board game will find comfort in its
familiarity, while experiencing the benefits of automated card
selection, rolls of the die and token movement. Flash mode offers a
ladder-style version of the TRIVIAL PURSUIT® game in which one to
six players take turns answering questions. Players move up the ladder
with every correct answer and the first player to reach the top rung
and answer the final questions is the winner. Play in single player
mode or against two to six opponents in local hot seat mode and
multiplayer" [Handango]
I'm particularly intrigued by the following two interactive
options, especially since I'll be playing this on my Treo 600!
- "Multiplayer support of 2-6 players over Bluetooth and IR
(Infra-red)
- Multiplayer lobby offers a meeting place for a networked game
including chat among players"

Tripping on their own feeble arguments
Tripping on their own feeble arguments
02/01/2005 09:42 PMThe Social Security debate continues to be infuriating. Pardon me
while I release some smoke from the top of my pate.
There are a number of strange arguments floating around out there
as part of the desperate effort to try to get the American people to
buy President Bush's Social Security pig-in-a-fiscal-poke. Something
happens when you put these arguments side by side: They undermine one
another.
Consider, if you will, this comment from someone named Craig on my most recent Social
Security post. As far as I can tell, Craig has cut-and-pasted big
chunks of long quotes from two different Washington Times columns into
his comment, one by Thomas Sowell and another by John Palffy. (I'll write off the failure to
attribute these quotes to oversight since the commenter does say
"Please read the following info.")
Sowell argues that the Social Security Trust Fund is a mere "legal
and accounting fiction" because one arm of the government is putting
its excess cash into the hands of another, in the form of the IOUs
known as Treasury bonds. As I and others keep noting, the idea that
Treasury bonds are mere fictions is one that would be news to the vast
number of institutions and individuals around the world who consider
them the bluest of blue chip investments. What this argument really
says is that the government doesn't have to make good on those bonds
-- they're just a "fiction" -- when they're purchased with our Social
Security taxes, set aside to handle the future shortfalls of the
system, and held in trust for the retirements of America's working
people. The U.S. government would never default on the bonds purchased
by another country's central bank -- but hey, if the American people
put their retirement money in such a form, the government is sure to
renege on the debt. We're so sure it's going to renege that we're
getting ready to ditch the most successful and beloved U.S. government
program in history.
Why will the government default? Apparently, we're to believe,
because it can. "Liberals are desperate to keep Social Security
as it is, because that would mean they can continue spending your
money as they see fit," Sowell writes. Funny, though; the money was
fine until Bush's conservatives started cutting taxes four years ago.
"Our money" was frittered away not by "liberals" but by the current
administration -- on dividend tax cuts, estate tax cuts, wars of
choice and other elective policies. Those policies could be reversed
as easily, maybe more easily, than privatizing Social Security.
But this all gets more interesting in the second half of Craig's
post, where he moves from Sowell's argument to Palffy's. Palffy wants
us to put aside the silly notion that privatization means our
retirement funds will be at risk. How foolish to imagine that there is
any reason to worry about placing Social Security money in private
markets rather than in the government's hands! But since the pesky
AARP is stirring up those excitable seniors again, Palffy has a plan
to soothe our graying hairs: Why, we can require that all those
private (excuse me, "personal") accounts invest their money in one
safe place. That ultra-reliable investment? Inflation-protected
Treasury bonds!
So much for the idea that private accounts restore free-market
choice. Under this plan, Social Security pretty much remains exactly
the same, except that there are little chunks of money in Treasury
bonds that have our names on them instead of one big chunk of bonds
with Social Security's name on it. The government is still holding all
that money for us, and if we're to believe Sowell and his ilk, the
government can't resist getting its greedy Big Government paws on any
money in sight, so there's just as much reason under the new plan as
under the existing one to expect the perfidious liberals in Congress
(despite their minority status!) to default on its obligations.
This round-trip doesn't get us very far at all, does it? The
spinning is desperate, contradictory, ultimately inane. That's what
happens when your stated plans of "reform" don't match your actual
goal (eliminating Social Security). Or maybe the Washington Times'
columnists, and their advocates among the population of blog
commenters, need new marching orders from the White House: They did
such a good job on the "private/personal" switcheroo.
In the end, there's one thing I can agree with the conservatives
on: Social Security is only as safe as the lawmakers in Washington
allow it to be. Sowell & co. say we must fear because we can't trust
the government to keep Social Security afloat. But the government he
is telling us will betray Social Security isn't in the hands of the
"liberals" upon whom his finger points. It is the Bush administration
that has endangered Social Security, and it is the Bush administration
that now wishes to end Social Security as we know it. It may get its
way. But let's make sure the American people understand who's
responsible for the ensuing debacle.

Road Trip USA. This
simply titled site is one of the better travel sites I have seen for
back-road ramblings around the USA. Not only are the routes described
some of the best, the writing is extensive (at least book length), of
high quality and obviously by someone who has traveled every single
mile personally. I only wish I had it on my last trip. Recommended for
the arm-chair or car-seat traveler alike.

08/01/2004 03:21 PMAs you all noticed it was a very light posting week. Quite honestly
I needed a break and being back on the job has me coming home
completely exhausted. It is hard to believe that my spine injury has
had such a dramatic effect on my life, and I suppose I am at odd's
with the doctor when he tells me it is going to take 6 months to fully
recover. I am back in the Geek Saddle and will be firing away my
brainy entries starting now. On another note I fly out to Dallas
tonight and will be there for a couple of days then off to Chicago for
three days and finally to Maine (a first) for some meetings and will
return to Hawaii on the 13th. If you live in Dallas, Chicago, Portland
Maine and want to get together drop me a line.

It's The End Of The Road For Windows NT
12/24/2004 12:25 PMThe clock is winding down on Windows NT, the operating system that
propelled Microsoft into the computer server market 11 years ago. The
last day Microsoft will provide general support for Windows NT Server
4.0 is Dec. 31, after which companies need custom contracts if they
want the safety of Microsoft security fixes and other help.
The Windows NT brand was launched in July 1993 with the introduction
of Windows NT 3.1, followed by Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 3.51, and
Windows NT 4.0 The operating system became so popular that
year-over-year sales were growing at 150% about the time Windows NT
Server 4.0 was introduced in August 1996. With the leading market
share for server operating systems today, Microsoft's success started
with Windows NT.
