You're right, it's at Adequacy
Adequacy has an account (from Jerry Pournelle's site) about passengers attempting to overpower the terrorists on United flight 93, the one that crashed in Pennsylvania. Probably not a coincidence.

Adequacy is dying!
You don't need to be a streetlawyer to predict Adequacy.org's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Adequacy faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Adequacy.org because Adequacy is dying. Things are looking very bad for Adequacy. As many of us are already aware, Adequacy continues to lose site traffic.
Let's try to keep the facts and look at the numbers.
Slashdot leader Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda states that there are about 5000 semi-regular posters to Slashdot.org. How many users of Geekizoid are there? The ratio of Slashdot to Geekizoid posts is roughly in ratio of 100 to 1. Therefore there are about 5000/100 = 50 occasional Geekizoid posters. The ratio of Adequacy posters to Geekizoid posters is about 5 to 1. Therefore there are 50 * 5 = 250 occasional posters to Adequacy.org. This is approximately equal to the number of editors listed on Adequacy's website added to the eleven non-editors who read the site.
Traffic to Adequacy continues to diminish. In July 2001, Adequacy received approximately 160,000 pageviews. In August, Adequacy received only 80,000 pageviews. The number of pageviews in September (as of September 11) is 60,000, a
paltry 37% of its July traffic. At current rates, the amount of Adequacy traffic will hit 0 by the end of the year.
According to Netcraft, Adequacy's situation is grim. Due to the troubles of Speakeasy DSL, DoS attacks and so on, Adequacy was forced out of business and was taken over by JAT Computer Consulting which hosts another troubled website. Now JAT Computer Consulting is also dying, its corpse being turned over to another charnal house.
All major surveys show that Adequacy has steadily declined in readership. Adequacy is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Adequacy is to survive at all it will be among right-wing maniacs, Libertarians, and trolls. Adequacy continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Adequacy.org
is dead. -

Adequacy is dying!
You don't need to be a streetlawyer to predict Adequacy.org's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Adequacy faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Adequacy.org because Adequacy is dying. Things are looking very bad for Adequacy. As many of us are already aware, Adequacy continues to lose site traffic.
Let's try to keep the facts and look at the numbers.
Slashdot leader Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda states that there are about 5000 semi-regular posters to Slashdot.org. How many users of Geekizoid are there? The ratio of Slashdot to Geekizoid posts is roughly in ratio of 100 to 1. Therefore there are about 5000/100 = 50 occasional Geekizoid posters. The ratio of Adequacy posters to Geekizoid posters is about 5 to 1. Therefore there are 50 * 5 = 250 occasional posters to Adequacy.org. This is approximately equal to the number of editors listed on Adequacy's website added to the eleven non-editors who read the site.
Traffic to Adequacy continues to diminish. In July 2001, Adequacy received approximately 160,000 pageviews. In August, Adequacy received only 80,000 pageviews. The number of pageviews in September (as of September 11) is 60,000, a
paltry 37% of its July traffic. At current rates, the amount of Adequacy traffic will hit 0 by the end of the year.

"Once more unto the breach, my friends."
The Security Systems Standards and Certification Act (SSSCA), scheduled to be introduced by Hollings, backs up this requirement with teeth: It would be a civil offense to create or sell any kind of computer equipment that "does not include and utilize certified security technologies" approved by the federal government.
It also creates new federal felonies, punishable by five years in prison and fines of up to $500,000. Anyone who distributes copyrighted material with "security measures" disabled or has a network-attached computer that disables copy protection is covered.
Hollings' draft bill, which Wired News obtained on Friday, represents the next round of the ongoing legal tussle between content holders and their opponents, including librarians, programmers and open-source advocates.
I guess that the time has come where the computer world will divide into above ground and an underground groupings.
If you can't sell a computer that's not security equipped, we who want to control our own technology will be like the people in a cyberpunk novel or in the Matrix, who have to cobble together their own technology apart from the mainstream.
Open Source and Free Spftware communities may come together on this too; I can't see a small group of developers providing the same glossy presentations to Congress describing their security that Windows and its associated companies would.
It's not a law yet, but it shows the way the law is going.
And if the law is going this way we have to consider the question reform or revolution; are we going to allow the vrey concept of computing to be taken over by a small corporate elite if it will allow computing and the Internet to extend to places where it hasn't reached before?
Or, do we have to act as free people do under repression - keeping our very names and acts truly secret, building computers and writing in basements instead of at bright stores?

I was a artistic dotcommerI worked for a London based clothing firm called 'Boo!'. However, when my company got bust I didn't go to some stinky dormroom, ugh. As a fully qualified artist with some works in the Royal Academy, I just took my talents to a more reputable firm. I now design for Microsoft in Cambridge, England. I am lucky though, artistic dotcom workers are always in demand, we are the ones who make the company, providing its public interface to the world. So a good designer can singlehandedly turn around a company.
However, the techy types, the ones working in the dark computer rooms, alone with 80Hz monitor emissions, are the ones who find it difficult to be reemployed because their MCSE skills are so much in oversupply, and so easy to attain. Why employ one when you can just promote the office boy?
This may seem controversial, but the simple fact is that these people are back in unemployment because they just don't have the talents for sustained professional performance. If they did, they'ed be employed. If they had been good, the companies wouldn't have went bust.

A good look at "why we do it."
The popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org has recently posted this article which provides a good in-depth look at the psychology behind the Open Source movement. It's pretty fair and even-handed; you might want to give it a look.

An impartial look at Microsoft's tactics.
The popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org recently posted this very topical analysis of Microsoft and their business practices, which explains in some detail the history of Microsoft and some of the controversy surrounding it. I found it to be fairly balanced and impartial, in the general style of popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org. Although the article was written before today's recent news about the anti-trust case, it certainly sheds a lot of light on the issues surrounding the case.

Where is the future of video gaming headed?
I recently read this very topical article on the popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org . This article raises a lot of good points, and makes me wonder: what will video games be like in five years? In ten? Does this "Rent-a-Game" craze represent a new step in game evolution, or is it a passing fad that nobody will remember in five years? What are the implications in the growing broadband market? Will it guide the types of games we see in the future? I'm used to reading insightful articles on the popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org , but the above-linked video game article is a rare gem. I know video games are largely insignificant to the world as a whole, but they represent a microcosm of something much, much larger.

PocketPCI have to say that the concept of the pocketPC is to the 'noughties' as the file-o-fax was to the Eighties. However, they won't last for more than a few years.
Future development will lead to pen terminals that can transmit solid holographic images and understand speech, and use the internet to connect to AI's at popular websites like MSN and google which will then intelligently order your life.
Sound like Science Fiction? Well, I may be an artist by trade, but in fact researchers at the Neils Bhor institute have made the first steps towards this new totalitarianesque future of AI dominated walking mannequins. Last week they unveiled the TeleDaemon9, an AI that organises personal schedules, and a simple pen terminal using bluetooth that employees must obey when in the building.
This may seem somewhat controversial, but make no mistake that Personal Assistants are already making the subtle graduation to 'personnel controllers'. What are YOU going to do about it?

If a camel is a horse designed by committeeThen USB 2.0 is a duckbilled platypus.
Everyone, sing after me:
Let's slap together a bunch of features onto a product never intended to provide them!
Hey!
Let's win this battle on the marketing field rather than the technical merits!
Hey!
Let's leverage our existing monopolies to create new ones!
Hey!
What's the "SB" in USB stand for? Serial Bus? No! Super Bandwidth!
Hey!
Microsoft isn't going with USB 2.0; that alone should give pause. And what's the roadmap for the future? A present negligible superiority is all well and good for the moment, but how much can they expect to increase it as IEEE 1394 plods ahead? Not terribly much.

search software is good
I am all for the government writing any kind of search program, block program, security program or what have you for whatever purpose it wants.
If we really want the Internet to permeate into our lives, then it should go into our lives as they really are. Perhaps some people will be less wary about leaving evidentiary data lying about on the Net.
When we decry against censorware, or searchware or whatever, we are decrying a social use of technology and not the technology itself. Rather than stifling the developemnt of search technologies or other supposedly "authoritarian" tech, we should be adding to the debate about what kind of a society we live in.
I will be writing a variant of this for a controversial website soon, in support of rigidly restricted appliance computers and limited-access proprietary content AOL style networks developing alongside the open Internet. In this society we have prisons, in which the prisoners can't use the Internet much because the software and hardware that would allow them to use it within prison rules (reliably, monitored by non-technical prison officials) does not exist.
I would rather the educational and self-betterment resources available on the Net be extended to prisoners with the blessing of prison officials, so prisons which have lost their education budgets can restore these services cheaply.

This might be a reason to custom-build your own PC
This turbulence in the computer market is making it very difficult to know what companies you can trust, what companies you can't trust, and what kind of computer you really need. Custom-building is an option that becomes more and more attractive with each passing day: by buying the components you really need and skipping the ones you don't, you can get a faster, more reliable computer for mess less than you'd pay for a pre-build PC, and you'll learn something doing it.
Although PC building has previously been the sole domain of propellerhead geeks, the controversial news and discussion site Adequacy.Org has recently posted an article demystifying the process and explaining the art of PC building in simple, easy-to-understand terms. It'll explain to you the full process of building your very own PC that you can truly call "your own" without drowning you in technical details. I found it very useful when custom-building my PC. -

Well, they *have* made concessions before
Just last month, Microsoft changed the service agreement for their passport system to require only an email address and password to sign up. Did Microsoft do this without any armtwisting? No. Did they do it, though? Yes.
Just keep the pressure on them up. They're going to go ahead with some sort of service no matter what, but the amount of opposition they face now will determine how many of these concessions will be made "voluntarily". That way, even if the FTC doesn't come down with a favorable ruling, we won't be completely left out in the cold.
Incidentally, msnbc also has some coverage. A disinterested and impartial news source if there ever were one... or not, as it were.

The difference between women and men
is that I rather care who would be doing the table-bending-over, etc.
You could see in my k5 diary, if it were up, that I have a cute new hair-do and it makes jerks of both genders hit on me on the way to work.
Thus far, nobody who is not a) obviously insane b) drunk or c) hideous ever hits on me for some reason.
So, I could be doing something tonight but I would rather promote the magnificent website of which I am a part than deliberately spend money doing stuff with someone boring and dumb.
Besides, what are YOU doing trolling weblogs on a friday night?

Shakespeare is a good start. Now let's try others.Elizabethian English is a good proof of concept, but we should build on this success with other more practical languages.
Natural-language programming has had its ups and downs over the year. Some will recall Hypertalk, for example, as the language the original Myst game was programmed in. Only some will recall, however, inasmuch as it never got terribly far off the ground. Other natural languages haven't faired much better.
My contention, however, is that these efforts have not failed because the idea of natural-language programming is somehow fundamentally flawed. Nay, the problem is that we're busy trying to implement the wrong language: English. English may be the language lots of us speak, but it's simultaneously too imprecise to permit of exacting programming and too verbose to allow structures to be implemented quickly and cleanly.
Tok Pisin would make a much better natural language to implement. It has several important advantages over English:
- Simple grammar
- English-based lexicon for backwards vocabulary compatibility
- Full extensibility, owing to its pidgin origins.
As yet, a language like Tok Pisin would encounter much opposition among programmers and speakers in the population at large unaccustomed to change, but it's a proposal deserving of serious examination. - Simple grammar
