06/22/2005 01:58 AMFirst, a spoiler-free executive summary: do yourself a favor and
forget all the Batman movies you've seen. Yes, even the first one. All
of them pale in comparison to Batman Begins. The reasons are simple:
it makes the best use of the medium, and the focus of the movie is in
the right direction. I do not focus on story details, but depending on
your spoiler sensitivity, reader discretion is advised.

licensing
06/24/2004 06:48 AM In my review of Sun Java Desktop System release 2 I criticized Sun
Microsystems for imposing such restrictive licensing terms on their
customers. A discussion on Groklaw followed, and Sun contacted me to
discuss the license and how it might modify it in the future. I had
several suggestions, and overall they were happy to have the feedback
and eager to make their future license agreements more user friendly.
But proprietary thinking dies hard. Will Sun really reduce the
restrictions in its licenses?

PHPRunner
PHPRunner
12/24/2004 12:57 PMPHPRunner - PHP code
generator for your MySQL database: A few weeks ago, I talked about
ASPRunner, which is a code-generation engine to build ASP pages to manage
ODBC databases.
At the end of that post, I whined that I wanted something similar
for PHP/MySQL. Well...
PHPRunner creates set of PHP pages to access and modify
any local or remote MySQL database. Using generated PHP pages users
can search, sort, edit, delete, and add data into
database.
This software is really top-notch. The interface is exceptionally
well-done, and the code it generates is fantastic. All code templates
are available, so you can actually tweak the master code that the
generated code is based on.
There's support for relational tables — you can provide
dropdown lists for fields based on information in other tables —
either pick from a wizard or write your own SQL. The system spits out
pages to list, add, edit, delete, print, export (to Word, Excel, XML,
or CSV), and search data. You can pick from a variety of stylesheets,
or you can massage the HTML yourself.
Really, really great stuff. My gut aches at the "quick-and-dirty"
projects (that were never "quick" enough) that I labored away on that
this app could have written for me. I hate writing admin
interfaces, and the time I wasted to get results inferior to what
PHPRunner provides absolutely makes me sick.
As a postscript, I got into a pleasant email conversation with
Sergey, the brains behind the *Runner software. Nice guy. I sent him
an email that outlined what I think would be the killer upgrade to
something like this. Instead of rehashing it, here's the
entire email.
(After reading that, you need to know that there's nothing
stopping you from implementing my plan now. Remember the source
templates are freely editable, and you just need to write the master
PHP to implement what I describe.)

06/18/2004 09:27 AMDave
Winer and Evan
Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often
the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact
by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:
"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to
FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even
test this s---?"
I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post)
about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the
error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked
version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error
message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded
from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.
That's right, people who use a pirated version of
FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me
when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my
time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email
I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager
would write.
I've written
about piracy befor
e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do
have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked
versions of my work: don't ask for support. I
support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected -
dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a
pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

“N
ot only is it illegal, but it's becoming increasingly dangerous,”
Leggio said of underage drinking. How dangerous? Well apparently
dangerous enough that one affluent Kansas City community has decided
that it is best to have police spy on teens during high school
basketball games. Oh it gets better, apparently a carload of teens is
enough for a Lenexa cop to follow you! So the parents should be up in
arms right? Nope, they encourage the police, even calling them
("she told dispatchers that when she called home to check on her
son, it sounded like a party was going on"). Yet surprisingly,
despite this almost police-state like mentality against drinking,
atti
tudes are slow to change.
New Bluetooth Crack
New Bluetooth Crack
06/05/2005 11:47 PMHappy Friday:
Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled
devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may
make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and
charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.
"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between
two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication
between those devices," says Shaked.
Check out the time required to pull this off:
They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair,
they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium
IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not
just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug"
06/19/2004 04:52 PMFifteen of us gathered last night for a screening of the 1992 Tim
Robbins political satire Bo
b Roberts. This mockumentary of a folksinging conservative
Wall Street trader turned politician has held up surprisingly
well. In the background of the movie, President Bush is in the
White House and American troops are about to invade Iraq. Gore
Vidal does a great job playing a Ted Kennedy-style career
senator. The songs are fun but sadly the soundtrack has never
been made available.
My favorite part of the movie is when Bob Roberts closes a letter
to a 7-year-old girl in Vermont with the admonition "Don't do crack;
it's a ghetto drug."
This is the perfect movie for an election-year party.

03/11/2003 01:22 AMSlashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?
Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best.
Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little
better than this:
The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and
implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and
Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty
simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that
change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every
now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_]
Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and
looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look
there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has
not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok,
not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and
people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain
guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation.
Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version.
Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I
did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby
versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I
don't have a clue there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just
pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the
major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.

seems to

they mad? Reckless, certainly. They call themselves
A Naifa
and what they've done is taken a massive, ice-crunching Waring Pro
blender to all the sacred potions, fruits and flavours of Portuguese
traditional music and poured out a vulgar, shameless, disrespectful
and utterly
delicious shambles of a
Pop cocktail. Heresy in
old Lisbon? I nearly choked on my 30-year-old
aguardente
velha, but then realized I was dancing merrily and had already
spilt most of it anyway. [
Probably not fun for those
unfamiliar with the Fado. QuickTime required.]
