Want Fries With That Outsourcing? 07/19/2004 02:49 AM
theodp writes "The NY Times reports that even restaurant jobs are not immune to outsourcing. Pull into the drive-through of a McDonald's just off U.S. 55 near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and the person taking your order is more than 900 miles away in a Colorado Springs call center. A McDonald's IT VP says it is 'way, way too early' to tell if the call center idea would work across the chain's 13,000 U.S. restaurants." The claim is that by centralizing this service, it reduces the error rates and gets people through the drive-through faster -- though, it's not entirely clear why that's true.

More chromosomes, more better! BoingBoing reader Roland writes:

Phil Mackey is the general manager of the Mt. Lassen Trout Farms. His 30-pound rainbow trouts are hatched from eggs 'manipulated to produce fish with three sets of chromosomes instead of two.' The Los Angeles Times reports about these freakoid fishes (free registration needed), called 'blasphemy' by some purists because of their strange proportions. The third set of chromosomes renders the trout sterile, 'allowing them to conserve energy that otherwise would be spent on the development of sexual organs or mating,' and so to take more weight. This overview contains additional details about what is a good money-making business and a photo of one of these gargantuan rainbow trouts. Now I repeat my question: would you eat such a 'Frankenfish'?

SaveBetamax.org 09/10/2004 03:52 AM

Many of you will say what's betamax. For the uninformed pleas read below.

"The Betamax ruling is the only thing that protects your right to own a VCR, tape recorder, CD-burner, DVD-burner, iPod, or TiVo. It's that important. But new legislation that's being pushed through the Senate by lobbyists for the music and movie industries would override the Betamax decision and create a huge liability for any business that makes products which can copy sound or video. This legislation (formerly known as the INDUCE Act) would essentially give Hollywood veto power over a huge range of new technologies. And if they get this power, they'll definitely use it: just as they tried to stomp out the VCR in the 70's and 80's, the music and movie industries want to force all content to go through their own restricted channels."

Cory Doctorow: Nicholas sez:

Save Betamax, is a new Downhill Battle project to bring together all the opposition to the INDUCE Act into one big Congress call-in day on September 14. The RIAA and MPAA are making a big push to get this thing through, especially since they lost the Grokster case, and it could come to the Senate floor at any time. Sending emails and faxes is great, but we need to show that opposition to the INDUCE Act or whatever variant is being devised, is very broad. We think working to defend the Betamax decision is a good rallying point for people to come together on.

Food Porn -- Burger King Subservient
Chicken 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
BoingBoing reader aeon points us to a bizarre marketing move by junk-food empire Burger King:

...For when "your way" calls for an enslaved chicken, Burger King invites you to "have chicken your way" by offering you the newest in ads even veteran AdBusters won't want to bust: The Subservient Chicken. He "riverdances", he "throws pillows", he "builds forts" and he even takes "bonghits". He's technically a rooster, but let's not worry about that when we can tell him to "play air guitar", "moonwalk", or "grab crotch like michael jackson." The Subservient Chicken: more than a furry's dream come true, more than a timewaster for stoned college kids; this method of advertizing just begs to be copied like so many memes. Plus, you can tell him to "die".

How very interesting. I wonder if the ad execs who came up with this realize (a) the Internet is so weird that genuine furry submissive fetish poultry sites with live webcams already exist, and (b) (this is absolutely true) legendary porn magnate Larry Flynt claims to have lost his virginity to a chicken? If so, the new Burger King campaign is extra-creepy, hold the fries. And if not, they really ought to be reading more BoingBoing. Link to Subserrvient Chicken

Update: BoingBoing reader Bobby Martin says, "For the obsessive compulsive, we've started a list of things the subservient chicken will and won't do. It's on a wiki, so you can sign up and add your quirky/interesting/fucking weird discoveries to the list for all to see." Excerpts:
Will Do: poop | macarena | lol | fart | lay an egg | hokey pokey
Will do, sort of: flip me off | masturbate | get funky | tear the place up
Won't do: barf | hurtle the couch or jump over it | vacuum

Openswan is an implementation of IPsec for the Linux operating system. Is it a code fork of the FreeS/WAN project which has been terminated. It provides IPSEC (IP Security, which is both encryption and authentication) kernel extensions and an IKE (Internet Key Exchange, keying and encrypted routing daemon), as well as various rc scripts and documentation. It is known to interoperate with other IPSEC and IKE systems already deployed by other vendors such as OpenBSD, Cisco, and CheckPoint. It features Opportunistic Encryption, subnet extrusion, X.509 certificates, NAT Traversal support, XAUTH, and DNSSEC support.

---

Changes:
This version features NAT-T RFC support, a NAT-T Server Side rewrite that now handles rekeying a lot better, and a fix for a NAT-T Client Side rekey bug. It removes the HowTo, includes IPKG packaging updates, updates the log message, features dpdaction=restart support, and includes KLIPS fixes for 2.6, AES fixes, and support for 'ip xfrm', so ipsec-tools is no longer required.
