For any party that consistently campaigns on a platform of fear, this is excellent news. I find myself more afraid this will increase the chances of republicans getting elected in November. Following that, how republicans will react to North Korea (or any other threat, real or imagined) and what knee-jerk policies they will put in place.

It sure as heck should be scared! If you haven't read this yet, you gotta check it out:

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

What we need right now is George Bush Senior, or Bob Dole, or John McCain, or Bill Clinton, or Nixon. An old fashioned foreign-policy wise leader, not a neoconservative self-righteous ignoramus. I strongly recommend the following 3-hour documentary:

The Allen gaffe and to a lesser extent the Foley scandal were representative of our web-enabled, always-Google-cached, everything-logged and archived lives. I think anyone who wants to run for office has to seriously consider everything they've ever said online as potential political ammunition for the opposition. Of course, politicians have spinsters and communications staffs working hard to mitigate any potentially embarassing material out there. But in an age where all it takes is a group of bloggers with some patience, free time, and Google to unravel, for example, a major media outlet's story about a certain president's National Guard service, you know the internet has truly arrived as a deadly effective political weapon.

Personally, I wouldn't allow my works to be sent to them aliens as they may have super advanced alien TIVOs and abuse my copyrights.

Then again, my copyrights will have run out by the time they see my works... Or will they still be in effect...

All except my BY-SA and GPL and other Free works that is.

Great article ... with many problems ...

Including the discovery of the "oh so new" page for Environment. Strange that I used to visit that page back then ... and a very quick inquiry revealed the result:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.apple.com/ environment/

2004 huh? Yep, I'd say it's overnight.

While I agree with you about "Sucker Bait" don't forget that a lot of Republicans are unhappy with the current Administration for one reason or another.

The solution hasn't exclusively been to polarize them on the issues, but to say "if you vote for the other guy, wolves will attack you"

http://www.archive.org/details/gwb_wolves
"I'm George Bush and I approve this message"

Really, wolves will attack.

Similarly, the "I wish I hadn't bought this CD" effect is why I've giving up on commercial music (especially mainstream music). I got tired of buying CD albums of which only a fraction of it's tracks were enjoyable and of which I would eventually get tired.

Then I discovered mp3.com (before they sold out), other mp3 hosting sites, and netlabels in the late 90's, and my purchasing of CD's quickly came to and end. Well, almost. I found 4 dronology tracks of the Stars of the Lid at Epitonic and enjoyed the free tracks so much I bought their double-disk Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid (the only CD purchase I made in 2005).

My point is that if you want the music industry to change for the better, it might help to give up on their music while exploring all the legally free music distributed online. Downloading copies of their music only shows them there's still a demand for their stale product, which encourages the RIAA to simply try to channel that demand back to CD sales instead of forcing the music industry to evolve and innovate.

As for myself, I've found enough artists and netlabels (and netlabels at the Internet Archive) that freely distribute music only through the Internet (netaudio) that I don't care if the industry fixes itself or not, and I enjoy searching for new sources of netaudio: it's like online treasure hunting. Sure, there's a lot of questionable and non-creative music online, but there's also a greater diversity of music online than there is in stores.

Just like there are good FOSS alternatives to commercial software, there are good netaudio alternatives to commercial music. And if you can't find anything you like there's plenty of free audio software to help you fix that problem, because problems don't fix themselves, and few of those that cause them bother to address their problems as long as they can get away with it.

But if you really want commercial music and need to listen to it before buying it, there are always sites like Napster's that allow you to listen to full albums a limited number of times. Then at least the music industry will know that you didn't buy any tracks or CD's not because you had downloaded free copies but because you didn't like what you heard.

Their answer is the Petabox. It's a server setup designed to be "shipping-contained friendly", meaning they can build out a container stuffed with these racks, and have it operational on site with connections for power, cooling, and bandwidth. With this design, they can deploy a mirror of the Internet Archive anywhere that's willing to host it, without having to build a machine room or individual racks on site.

Capricorn Tech of San Francisco builds these machines and their site has more info.

Nothing against Jennifer Ferris, the author of the Virginia Tech "article," but she was an undergraduate student in an honors seminar. Note the URL. Hardly a credible source. Several years ago I e-mailed her professor to try to get in touch with her, but never got a response.

This 1997 Nurseweek/Healthweek article (http://www.nurseweek.com/features/97-8/iadct.html ) does a very good job tracing the origin of the term "Internet Addition Disorder," which explains the term originated with a joke post (http://web.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/Netzdienste/anle itung/wwwtips/8/addict.html) by psychologist Ivan Goldberg, who was trying to point out that it's too easy to call anthing an addiction. According to the Nurseweek article: "I don't think Internet addiction disorder exists any more than tennis addictive disorder, bingo addictive disorder, and TV addictive disorder exist. People can overdo anything. To call it a disorder is an error," Goldberg said.

One of the earliest proponents of Internet Addiction Disorder is Dr. Kimberly Young, whose website, netaddiction.com, will be happy to sell you books and tapes to cure you of this malady. Until recently, her academic home page at http://www.pitt.edu/~ksy/ used to forward people directly to netaddiction.com. (Now it gives an error message, but you can see for yourself what the Wayback Machine has in its archives. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.pitt.edu/~ ksy/ )

Now, just becuase Dr. Goldberg made a joke about Internet Addiction Disorder doesn't mean that such a thing doesn't exist, and just because Dr. Young wants to sell books and tapes about the malady she discovered doesn't mean she's doing anything wrong, but if Ms. Ferriss's undergraduate honors paper (published on the chemistry department's website) is the best resource a Slashdot post can come up with to support an alleged psychological problem, then this issue is more than controversial.

It seems to me that some of the people who're writing about this issue probably haven't spent enough time on the internet yet.

The Internet Archive, which is a nonprofit, is also in the free video archiving business. Their main concern has been storage, of which they now have petabytes. Making the system friendly to the casual user has been a lower priority, and the Archive has a tiny staff. But you can get an Archive account and upload your video right now. If you have anything of historical significance, please do so.

The Archive has had some problems with bandwidth, but they just moved to a new data center, and that's improving. Last year, they obtained an archive of Greatful Dead recordings, which can be played out as streaming audio. The Deadheads, with their short-term memory loss problems, would play the same stuff over and over again. This was sucking up most of the outgoing bandwidth and interfering with video playback.

The Archive will probably be around long after YouTube is gone. Among other things, there's a duplicate of the Internet Archive in Egypt.

I meant legally too.

Let's say you had one of my audio files from this page:

http://www.archive.org/details/dragirl

on your device. It has this CC BY-SA license:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

So you could certainly share it legally.

Now, I don't remember if I put the license in the file metadata, but I could have. You are certainly legally allowed to share that file with others without any DRM. In fact, I am not sure about that version of the license, but some have or are discussion haveing terms where putting the DRM on would make it illegal to share it while leaving it off make it legal to share it. Oops. (I think I have that broadly correct.)

So, the sharing app could look for a "shareable license" and share those files with no DRM, right?

all the best,

Maybe I did, though a perplexing one. I just copied the links to LAT/WH from the page from which I copied the linked text. The WH page is deleted, but remains in the Google cache. It's a Q/A session with Rice from Genoa on the cited date, but it doesn't mention the planebomb threat or that kind of subject at all. The LAT story isn't in their own archive, and though that issue is in the Wayback Machine, I can't find it so easily.

The WH page status is especially fishy. I'm sending this message to the American Progress website to find out what's going on, before I post on this subject again. Thanks for checking this out and revealing the problem with it.

This is in no way Google's fault. Google caches sites, the Internet archive caches sites, its up to you as a webmaster to put limits on it with the well-publicized "robots.txt" restrictions available to you.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I only listen to netaudio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netaudio) on my mp3 player. There are so many hobbyists and artists that are fed up with the music industry that they prefer to share their music for free. There are also those who see netaudio as a means to spread their music to land a deal; still, the music is free. Why bother with sharing or legally downloading generic music when there are musicians willing to share their music and experimentations with sound for free.

Netaudio is now big enough that there are many netlabels that deal only in such free music. Netlabels provide a level of quality control not available to other free music hosting sites, and 2 good directories of netlabels are available at the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=mediatype :collection%20AND%20collection:netlabels and (http://www.archive.org/details/netlabels) and at Phlow magazine's directory of netlabels (http://www.phlow.de/netlabels/index.php/Main_Page ).

Netaudio is the soundtrack of open source.

Why do I need to buy all those again, if I buy, I'll probably buy via iTunes, but I've got a large catalog already purchased. This isn't shunning.

Take it up with the BBC, or pay for the report and take it up with Jupiter, but they say that people who buy portable music players purchase more music than other people and they are purchasing it on CDs. They were clear about it, I'm sorry if my summary was not.

I imagine that people who own portable music players and reasonable jukebox software, such as iTunes or Amarok enjoy their music more than others and purchase more of it. You know, that whole Napster effect thing all over again. Music fans will buy music even if they can get it for "free" of some network. Of course, it's easy to buy more music than average if the average is zero.

Thinking of free music, I have to point again to the internet archive, where anyone wanting to build a great collection should start. Be sure to check out one of my favorites, the New Orleans Radiators and rock on.

That list just goes to show that the US isn't even close to being a fascist society, neo or otherwise.

By the way... if you want to get a better idea of what a real fascist society looks like, try watching this. I recommend the higher definition versions. Much of the more interesting content came from the media in the countries themselves.

They made the Logo page better?!?
I guess they did, The old logo page is... Special.
My favorite is the Email link graphic on the front page.

Why is it, that on blogs, in comments, and many other places, I see this exact bahvior ascribed to Apple (adds DRM to .mp3s, has "proprietary format" conversion) when they've never done any such thing - and when Microsoft does it, it's no big deal?

I imagine it was preemptive astroturf on M$'s part but don't think it's not a big deal. The transcoding nonsense fooled me by repetition and disinterest on my part. M$'s main competitive weapon is to say everyone else has their problems and none of their strengths, which usually reduce to their desktop monopoly.

Did I say disinterest? Yes I did. For the same reasons I have no interest in Zune, I also have no interest in iPod. Apple's DRM method for your non DRM'd music is to erase everything from the device if you plug it into another computer (that's news I got from an actual owner I trust to get things right). As a person who has more than one computer and I don't want to have to jump through hoops to share with myself and my friends. I don't want to have to install a non free client to load music to my music player. I don't want to have to beg that non free client to copy my music to my other computers. Finally, I don't want a player that erases everything when I try to copy files that are under free licenses. The Radiators of New Orleans encourage people to record and share their songs. Because of this, I have almost two gigs of their awesome music. The music players I actually own don't self destruct when I plug them into a friend's computer. It's a shame because I admire and envy Apple's mechanical design.

Zune, I'm sure, will have all of those problems and more.

People, eventually, will end up with music devices that are easy. They will transfer files by standard protocols and will play any of the formats supported by giants like Xine - no problem video and music streaming and playback. Anything less than that is too much trouble in the long run.

Is there a society that preserves TV and movie media like archive.org preserves the internet? Will a distributed P2P Storage Area Network ever be possible, like a huge ongoing TIVO?

You mean these seals?

Hmmm..that site seems to be down (plus no updates since april 2005) Maybe you should have pointed to the google cache or the wayback machine... Or is it no longer in slashdot fashon to point to mirrors?

Of course, my question is: are there any free programs for Linux which will help anyone write shader programs? I thought I saw something or other a long time ago, but I had an old Voodoo card, so I didn't bother with it.

We exported freedom during Bush Seniors term, and continued it through Clinton's term. The Berlin Wall fell during Bush Senior, and we ended the Cold War.

No, the US unnessarily extended the cold war. It should have ended long before. Rumsfeld maintained that the Soviets must have some pretty kick ass capability despite all other intel suggesting otherwise. I think his logic was "it's so powerful we can't find it".

Source: The Power of Nightmares, which is required viewing for everyone IMHO. It's from the BBC originally.

also, most artists have no experience marketing, selling, or dealing with the right people that will get them the high-paying gigs they need to continue performing and feed their family and or make the rent.

Don't bother the poor schmuck asking for facts and credible evidence.

Glen Dahlgren was Lead Designer on the sadly under-promoted and underrated FPS game Wheel Of Time (based on the series of the same name by Robert Jordan), which had defensive aspects to the Multiplayer game that are still unparalleled in the genre. He's a really nice guy and an excellent developer (IMNSHO). Only a fraction of his original vision for that game was realized, but it foretold many things that would later be integrated into MMO games. If I were an MMO player, I'd certainly be picking this up on his credentials alone.
