A bit too excited?Well Mr. Katz, I see you have another article where your enthusim abounds, but gets in the way. Alack, I must make a few points
...the Internet's most central ideology has been promoting a certain kind of freedom.
No, the Internet's most central ideology has been promoting a certain kind of information. freedom != information . While, I admit, information should be free, not all agree.Many people can't afford it, others don't have the technological skills to use it well.
The same can be said that many people can't afford a car and that many don't have the skills to drive a car. What makes the net so different though is that many companies provide a "free-ride" (ie NetZero) and software is getting dumbed down. But is this what we want? Do you really want everyone online. Just as you don't want drunk-drivers, mentally ustable, extremley elderly, or blind/deaf people on you highways, do you want child molesters, script kiddies, etc on the net? Be carfeul what you wish for...Computing analysts and legal scholars increasingly believe that despite revolutionary advances like OS, the Net is moving away from its founders' vision.
No, it is getting closer. The original idea was for information to travel cross-country in case of a nuclear war. And I would say it has accomplished that.Not one of them - with the possible partial exception of IBM - has embraced or even flirted seriously with an open source model for doing business.
Is that bad? Everything doesn't have to be OPENSOURCE, GPL, LINUX, etc. And companies other than IBM have tried opensource models (ie OpenDK, OpenBSD).Thomas Jefferson wrote passionately about a new kind of democratic culture in which ideas moved freely all over the globe.
Ok, but lets review principles of governtment Mr. Katz. For a democracy to exist, there must be a leader. As it stands, the net is far far far from a democracy. It is, at best, anarchy in action.
I must say though, you did do some good research into the great thinkers of America, but you lack a bit in the Internet history.

Actually, no....
Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who are unconvinced might be interested in searching some of his quotes, reading some comments he had written relating to some of Heinlein's predictions, reading this excerpt, or checking the ultimate SF web guide for more information.

Socialist watch!
So only read it if it is in your 'rational self-interest' :)
Seriously, tho, if you want, we can crack www.aynrand.org and replace it with some of Robin's socialist propaganda. Email me at malda@slashdot.org if you're interested.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION! -
There are worse things to be than a barefaced liar
I challenge you to demonstrate that this exchange of words ever happened.
It did happen, but only inside my head.
I have no doubt that you have provided us a patent fabrication.
You are absolutely right, your deductive prowess amazes us all.
You are a shameless asshole with your own agenda of fraud to submit such a post.
You, on the other hand, are unable to spot the output of the Dilbert Zone's Performance Review Generator, despite there being at least three posts in this thread which correctly identified my original post as an almost-funny parody.
Gawd, slashdot likes to think of itself as a place for intelligent people, but is it? As a longtime resident of "trolltalk", I've recently taken to posting the most extraordinary rubbish on threads, and you can guarantee that at least one person (usually more) will be taken in. This wasn't even meant to be a troll, just a joke, but it ended up pulling in at least five sincere responses (including two rather angry ones -- how smart you all must feel)
Particular kudos must go to the moderators who scored (4, Funny) to a line-by-line exegesis of a joke which only received (3, Funny), albeit that it also received (1, Interesting) from another goat.
Do yourselves a favour, lads. Don't ever invest, in anything. Or do me a favour and check out my IPO Prospectus for the Brooklyn Bridge.

**BZZZT** Please try again.
What Slashdot failed to mention (And this is a BIG surprise) is that these Irish kiddiez ARE NOT IN FACT IRISH!
A quick look at the "Trevor Johnston" reveals that he is, in fact, a RECENT CUBAN IMMIGRANT. What does this mean? I think we all know that you can't immigrate from Cuba. So, you ask yourself, what does that mean? Well, it means, fair reader, that he was sent to Ireland by the CUBAN GOVERNMENT.
And, why, pray tell, would Castro want people in Ireland? Upon reflection, even the biggest simpleton will find the truth (though it apparently eludes emmett, whose left-wing leanings are well-known): that the commies are hatching a plot to DOMINATE SCIENCE FAIRS AROUND THE GLOBE!
Think about it: if only communists win science fairs, then only science fair winners will be communists. With every Part member being prize-winning scientists, the risk that the Reds will dominate the world grows far too strong, certainly for my tastes.
In conclusion, I am deeply saddend to see Slashdot, once a proud Republican news site reduced to printing Commie propaganda. I hope this 'emmett' character will get what he deserves for such un-American activities: forced labor in the salt mines of Utah, with all the other pinkos, like that horrid RobLimo character. -
virii my ass
being a latin derived word
Yep
has a plural of virii
Nope. Virii would be the plural of virius, which isn't a word. In fact, authorities disagree on the plural of virus -- see here for a reasonably erudite discussion.
The authors' comment on "Virii" is:
"Virii is still completely silly, so don't do that; otherwise, everyone will know you're just a blathering script kiddie.
I think this is a bit harsh, and probably motivated by an otherwise admirable Anglo-Saxonism, favouring "Viruses". For my money, virus in meaning plus etymology is a group of items, treated as a single item which follows the literal Latin meaning of "poison". As a result, it is analagous with "prospectus", and the correct plural is "virus", with a long final 'u'.
For those who are really interested in the reasoning behind this interpretation, this site may be of interest. -
secondary Fourier transform also...plus N=5
I know it might be hard to read the entire site linked to (all those PDFS)...but its worth it. 20.1 (Diagnosing Machine Parameters) deals with the so called "secondary Fourier transform", the brother of the fast Fourier transform. MP4 compression is based (to a degree) on this idea, and several embedded chipsets in various RTOS machines are starting to ship with the secondary Fourier transform algorithms programmed in to aid on data compression.
Also, 6.7 Bessel Functions of Fractional Order, Airy Functions, SphericalBessel Functions deals with the general funkiness as a result of N=5 (This article deals some with N=8) - lossy compression, failed bubble sorts, etc. -
sounds fishy....After reading the CO's letter, I noticed that page 66141 has a problem:
During the 2-year period described in subparagraph(A), and during each succeeding 3-year period, the Librarian of Congress, upon the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, who shall consult with the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information of the Department of Commerce and report and comment on his or her views in making such recommendation, shall make the determination in a rulemaking proceeding on the record for purposes of subparagraph (B) of whether persons who are users of a copyrighted work are, or are likely to be in the succeeding 3-year period, adversely affected by the prohibition under subparagraph (A) in their ability to make noninfringing uses under this title of a particular class of copyrighted works.
Why would the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information of the Department of Commerce need to be involved? She (Elizabeth Wagner) has played a not-so-trivial behind the scenes role in both the recent bad press associated with 2600 over the DeCSS issue and the not so well publicized civil suit against various programmers for "violations" of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
As usual, what appears to be a good step taken by the govt. turns out to be more sinister than imagined.
-----Charlie Benante -
More infoAfter careful review of both the article and various other sources, I have noticed a flaw in the arguments presented by my previous posters. True, this has some useful purposes:
For example, oil-eating bacteria could be programmed to sense how much petroleum from a spill remains to be cleaned up -- and respond accordingly.
But please continue reading:"When they clean up the spill, they kill themselves,"
I, for one, do not the idea of suicidal bacterium created in a lab nor do I like the previous experiments done in genetic switches. Peruse a few papers at both http://bio.uas.uk and The Centre for Biotechnology and you will figure out a few more things about genetic switches.
Seems both the American and Chinese govternments have funded quite a large amount of research into these areas. What, pray tell, do the reds and americans have in store for the horrors of biotech....only time will tell.
