marriage in Massachusetts to one man and one woman is none other than
the Governor, Mitt Romney. Mitt's a Mormon (one of the many splinter
sects of christianity). You remember the Mormons, right? They're the
group that triggered the passage of the original federal (and many
state) marriage laws in the first place because of that whole polygamy
thing... This could just be ~150 years of payback, I suppose. (I'm not

The
World's Most Dangerous Ideas:
U.S. and European goals on most
issues are quite similar. Both want a peaceful world free from terror,
with open trade, growing freedom, and civilized codes of conduct. A
Europe that charts its own course just to mark its differences from
the United States threatens to fracture global efforts—whether on
trade, proliferation, or the Middle East. Europe is too disunited to
achieve its goals without the United States; it can only ensure that
America’s plans don’t succeed. The result will be a world that
muddles along, with the constant danger that unattended problems will
flare up disastrously. Instead of win-win, it will be lose-lose—for
Europe, for the United States, and for the world. ""Anti-Americanism

Lies, Damn Lies And Telephone Calls
Lies, Damn Lies And Telephone Calls
02/12/2004 02:44 AMYou would think that, if someone needed to tell a lie, they'd prefer
to do so over email, where they wouldn't let their voice betray them.
However, a new study says that
people are more likely to lie over the telephone
than over email. Amazingly, email-based lies were at the bottom of
the list. People told the most lies over the telephone, the second
most face-to-face, followed up by instant messages and email last.
Maybe that's why people are
tryin
g to fight parking tickets via the phone. Apparently, there's
just something truthful about email. The basic theory by the
researcher, though, is that people tell lies by voice because there's
no record of what they said - and it can vanish into thin air and be
disputed later. They also lie more during live conversations because
they're put on the spot and don't have time to think through a good
answer. That certainly makes some amount of sense. Of course, the
other theory (which I like best) is that the subjects for this study
lied in giving their results...

Lies, Damn Lies And Technology
05/12/2004 05:13 PMA few months ago we wrote about how one guy predicted that 3G mobile
phones would never take off
because
the camera phone part would make it difficult to lie about where you
were. We had no idea that most people used their mobile phones to
lie about their location (or that that single factor would damn the
entire product category). However, apparently the lying segment of
the population is out there, and they've got money to spend, so
solutions started cropping up, including a way to
put
fake image backgrounds into camera phone images to make people
think you're somewhere you're not and (even more impressive) fake
audio sounds to complete the faux imagery. There are even
(apparently) bars that have fake office backdrops for camera phone
enabled workers sneaking out for a drink. Douglas Rushkoff is now
wondering about all this technological effort put into helping us lie
better and wonders if it really shows how technology advancements
make us more truthful. All these efforts show that people now need to
make much more of an effort to be dishonest, which makes it even
clearer (perhaps to themselves as well) how much they are lying. In
fact, Rushkoff believes that such enforced honesty should be seen as
an opportunity for people, rather than as a reason to avoid the
technology altogether.

Terrorist incidents actually ROSE in 2003, but the State
Department's
"Patt
erns of Global Terrorism" report, issued April 29 (see
Appendix G for an easy chart), said the exact opposite.
Senior Bush administration officials immediately hailed it as
objective proof that they were winning the war on terrorism. The
report is considered the authoritative yardstick of the prevalence of
terrorist activity around the world.
Reports like
this one were all over the news in April--will the fact that it
was a lie be reported as widely? And can we trust anything this
administration says anymore?

Gentoo - Now with More Irony
Gentoo - Now with More Irony
06/17/2005 03:45 PMDaniel Robbins, the founder of my beloved Gentoo Linux, bowed out of the Gentoo
community last year, setting up a non-profit organization to
responsibly manage Gentoo and all of the intellectual property that
surrounds it. He, along with others, created a very popular Linux
distribution that provides unique benefits over the other offerings
that are available. Unfortunately, open-source alone wasn't paying the
bills, and Daniel had to find other work.
Mr. Robbins began his new
job late last month. With Microsoft:
Gentoo founder and former Gentoo Chief Architect Daniel Robbins
began a new position at Microsoft on 23 May 2005. According to
drobbins: "I'm helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and
community-based projects." While in the midst of hastily packing to
move to Redmond, [Robbins] nonetheless managed to find the time to
finalize the transfer of Gentoo's intellectual property (essentially
copyrights on ebuilds and other software as well as soon-to-be
trademarked Gentoo logos) to the not-for-profit Gentoo Foundation,
Inc.
Best of luck to him, but it strikes me that without Gentoo, I might
not have gotten rid of most of the Microsoft products that I owned. I
just hope that "helping Microsoft understand open source" doesn't mean
"unwittingly helping Microsoft understand how to get rid of the 'open
source problem'".

Generally, people hear about the life of William Burroughs before they

more important aspects of the work, rather than the man. This essay
will deal with the use of irony and satire in Burroughs' work, and the
way he uses them to highlight the hypocrisy of his time.
