02/17/2004 11:55 AM The San Francisco Chronical has an
observance on the 10th anniversary of the death of Randy
Shilts. His second book,
And the Band Played On
opened my eyes to the AIDS epidemic, as I am sure it did to a lot of
straight people. I was amazed to see him pilloried in the gay press
as being a traitor to his "kind." My understanding is that
this disfavor arose from his assertion that aspects of the hard-won
sexual freedom enjoyed by many gay men were also killing them. Anyone
want to weigh in on this?

Ten years
ago today. Do you remember where you were when the federal
building in Oklahoma City was bombed? It was then the biggest act of
mass murder in U.S. history. Shocking to a people
una
ccustomed to domestic terrorism. What followed was an outpouring
of
volunteer
support and
grief
for the victims, a
manhunt for
suspects
presumed
to be Arabic, and calls for a
'war against terrorism'.
Timothy McVeigh and
Terry Nichols were eventually
arrested for, and convicted of the crime, but since McVeigh
was put to death in 2001, a
steady stream of new evidence has called into question both
the government's
handling of the investigation and the
official
version of events. Survivors and victims' family members gather
today to
remembe
r and to
reaffirm demands for truth.

Richard Stallman resigned from MIT
20 years ago today to launch the
GNU Project. That
was the free software effort that ultimately spawned the operating
system known as Linux, building on a tradition that gave the world a
host of other software, some of which is at the heart of the Internet
and other things we take for granted today.

Projectshttp://www.nl
m.nih.gov/news/nnlmelectronic04.htmlThe U.S. National
Library of Medicine recently announced that 40 projects designed to
improve access to electronic health information for the general public
have been funded through the National Network of Libraries of
Medicine. Projects, scattered among 24 states, range from
disseminating information on rare disorders, to maintaining Web sites
for specific groups, to ratcheting up existing healthcare information
Web sites. For example, the Periodic Paralysis Association of
Monrovia, Calif., plans to use its grant to develop a Web-based video
library to enhance the diagnostic knowledge base for this class of
rare neurological disorders. The Florida Gulfcoast North Area Health
Education Center and two other partners will expand and support the
Florida School Nurse Project, which will include training and access
to health information for school nurses and related professionals. And
the Mississippi Valley State University James Herbert White Library
and partners from local Golden Age Club and Boys and Girls Club will
establish a program to train youth and senior adults in locating and
using electronic health information. All projects will last up to 18
months. (National Library of Medicine 23 Aug 2004)
Software That Lasts For Years And Years
Software That Lasts For Years And Years
07/14/2004 06:51 PMWe were just talking about the
rise of
quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily
programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at
the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming,
and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level
"big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed
the
problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats
die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient
media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin
is now suggesting that people need to start
designing "Societal
Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a
few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to
worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will
be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though,
Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming,
though not necessarily the way people view open source programming
today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think
long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas
will actually catch on.

08/02/2004 02:37 AMImagine this guy, who discovered that the airport security folks have
mistakenly planted some TNT in his luggage,
is going to a U.S. destination, and if the customs and/or security
staff at the U.S. airport has discovered the TNT, what is going to
happen? He is going to go through hell, that's what it is going to
happen. He will be lucky if he can see his family again for the next
few months.

What Can't
I Do Today? (Donna Wentworth)
A Slashdotter, on Endangered Gizmos and the
threat to harmless "me2me
" uses:
At this point, I've accepted that there are things I do
that may someday be considered a crime. ...:- Record TV shows
from my DirecTV reciever that I pay a monthly subscription fee for
into my computer using a Hauppauge PVR250 card for archival purposes
(to show friends and family when they come over)
- Rip all CDs that I buy to the infinitely more convenient Ogg
Vorbis format so that I can listen to my music anywhere
- Stream any audio or video from my house to wherever I happen to
be using a VPN connection and broadbad. This means I can listen to my
music collection, watch my DVDs or even DirecTV as long as I have an
internet connection
- Build custom digital media devices that don't have the limitations
that commercial products do
...It's a wonder it's not illegal to use a hammer, nails, screwdriver,
drywall, plaster and screws to build or modify your house any way you
want.
Basically, the notion of "owning a song" when you
buy it in some format is going to be over if Hollywood has any say. In
the old days, if you had an album, you could tape it and listen to it
in your car or anywhere you wanted to. You basically "owned the song."
Now you own the song on your Mac/iPod. Or own the song on Microsoft...
or own the DVD in Region 1... If you've purchased thousands of tracks
on Apple Music Store and decide you're going to stop using iTunes and
iPod, you're shit out of luck. Or if you have a thousand DVDs and you
move from the US to Japan. Yes, there are workarounds, but they will
try to make more and more laws to prohibit people from building
workarounds.
So my question is... Does this INCREASE or DECREASE the likelihood
that I'm going to want to build a massive music or movie
collection?
