No analyst firm has a magic crystal ball. But they often proclaim that they can see into the future, that the market for virtual Gigabit QoS application firewall platforms will reach $1 billion by 2008 - and yes, I just made that up. Maybe I could do this analyst thing. The problem today is that people remember when you make outrageous predictions, ever since the Internet bust dashed so many false hopes. In our story today several analysts look back at predictions that were way off. If only they knew then what we all know now http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2005/013105widernetresearch.html?net

If you've tried to comment on the site in the last few hours then you'll probably already have noticed that I've upgraded to MT 3.0 and that I've turned on most of the draconian comment features. In the last couple of days I have had the better part of sixty comment spams from various hardcore pornography, bestiality and rape sites and quite frankly I've had enough.

Anyway as a result of the upgrade there are a few templates across the site that have broken and look a bit crappy. I'll try and get that stuff sorted over the weekend, once I've ploughed through my new book on Illustrator. I'm so far behind in my various obligations outside work that I can't really imagine I'm going to get everything done I want to over the next couple of days, but I'm going to give it my best shot. In the meantime, I can recommend Troy - it's long and it's not particularly accurate, but it's mostly pretty compelling and has a few ridiculous Classics jokes which appealed to me in it. Back in a bit.

9/11 commission report: much of what we
knew was wrong. 07/25/2004 02:44 AM
This piece in today's New York Times outlines a number of the presumed truths about 9/11 which the 9/11 commission report effectively debunks. Among them:

The commission's report found that the hijackers had repeatedly broken the law in entering the United States, that Mr. bin Laden may have micromanaged the attacks but did not pay for them, that intelligence agencies had considered the threat of suicide hijackings, and that Mr. Bush received an August 2001 briefing on evidence of continuing domestic terrorist threats from Al Qaeda.

Link to NY Times story, Link to downloadable report, and here is Kottke's helpful outline of the lengthy report's structure.

Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was

Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

A 40ish friend he told me about life with his twentysomething girlfriend:

• "I plan the dinner, shop for all the ingredients, choose and buy the wine, cook and clean up."
• "We were staying at a friend's house.  When it came time to leave she was relaxing while I cleaned up and put the sheets and towels in the washing machine."
• "We earn about the same amount of money and yet I pay for everything."
• "She seems to think equality means doing less than half the work so she won't ever have to feel mid-twentieth century housewifelike."

At the same time we know a huge number of women who seem to be good at everything except holding onto a guy long enough to get married, something that they claim to want.  Could it be the case that in the old days mothers sat their daughters down and explained to them how selfish and spoiled most men are and what they needed to do to keep the guy happy?  Whereas now young women are exposed to wisdom from Jada Pinkett Smith, a popular actress:

“Women, you can have it all—a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career,” she said. “They say you gotta choose. Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All you have to do is want it.” (speaking at Harvard, a talk that got her into hot water for being too "heteronormative")

The implication of Pinkett Smith's remarks was that a Harvard girl, in virtue of being bright, well-educated, and ambitious, was entitled to these things without doing too much work except maybe on the career part.  She never added "if you're willing to do the laundry, plan and pay for half the evenings out, straighten up the house in between visits from the cleaners."

Some of our women friends do seem to have figured out what compromises and efforts are entailed but they suffer through many inexplicable (to them) dumpings and are into their late 30s by the time insight is acquired.  This wouldn't be a problem except that by this age they are past their best reproductive years and are often rather embittered toward men.

A potential solution:Find couples where the man is satisfied and not thinking about walking out.  Do time-and-motion studies of the female partner in these couples and figure out how much effort they are putting forth.  Report the results so that single women can decide if it is worth the bother.  Perhaps when they see the data they will come to agree with Isabel Archer in Portrait of a Lady, who, when all around her were trying to marry her off, thought

"she held that a woman ought to be able to make up her life in singleness, and that it was perfectly possible to be happy without the society of a more or less coarse-minded person of another sex."

[Update:  Some (married) friends pointed out that there are quite a few books targeted at women who want to get married, offering advice.  However this advice is anecdotal and not based on hard numbers gleaned from surveys.  A friend in her 40s pointed out that perhaps by coddling our kids we've produced an entire generation too selfish to make a marriage succeed.  This afflicts both young men and women equally with the difference that men have the biological luxury to wait until they are 40 or 50 to figure it out.]

Diebold Knew They Broke The Law With
Uncertified Voting Machines

Diebold Knew They Broke The Law With
Uncertified Voting Machines 04/20/2004 04:44 PM
Every time I read another article about Diebold, you wonder what's really going on at the company. They clearly seem to be living in their own little reality where they simply ignore the very important questions people are starting to ask about their voting machines. I wonder how anyone in their right mind could use a Diebold voting machine after these fiascoes. Despite plenty of questions concerning their voting machines over the past few months, Diebold didn't do anything differently and knowingly broke their contract (and the law) with Alameda county by using uncertified software. Diebold's lawyers tried to get them around this by suggesting they claim that the software was "experimental" rather than "uncertified." Despite being clearly told not to do this, Diebold went ahead and used the uncertified and barely tested software which was rushed onto machines for the primary elections in California last month. Even worse, when an employee spoke up to point out that there was poor quality control and an aspect of the voting system was likely to fail, he was quickly fired. When you put together all of the information compiled over the last year concerning Diebold's voting machines, their inability to comprehend why people are upset, and what looks like their outright violation of the law, why would anyone agree to use such a machine during an election?
