  1. Physics Mystified ... again by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on The Physics of Consciousness

    Up to now, I've been ambivalent about Katz's essays, but this really tips the scales against him. Katz thinks this is an important book? Judging from the review, Walker seems to be clutching to shaky science and a questionable grasp of dharma (as do many of the most confident /.ers on this thread, BTW). Oh, who will deliver us from the continual nonsense Fritjof Capra has borne?

  2. Usenet is a phoenix... by Old+Man+Kensey · · Score: 3 · on Is Usenet Dying?
    It's entering the end of its life cycle as a technology. Now I'm waiting for the complete birth of Usenet II. The rules may seem fascist, but more than one newsadmin has wished the original Usenet had them.

    The only thing that worries me is, it looks like it might be a breech birth, full of extra pain and difficulty. At least one major ISP has announced it has no plans to participate. Also complicating the transition will be the fact that Usenet II requires a valid e-mail address to post, meaning that spammers with read access can still do what they do.

    Then again, in its early days, Usenet was often an unauthorized service provided by site admins while management turned a blind eye.

  3. Re:Point 9 -- Art Bell is a perfect choise. by Kirkoff · · Score: 1 · on Jon Johansen's Answers to Your DeCSS Questions
    Unlike funtax, I like AM radio, but that is beside the point. Art Bell IMHO would be a perfect choice to get the word about DeCSS out. He has about 12 Million Weekly listeners, and over 460 affiliates. Usually he has an hour of open lines at the begining and end of his show. (1 AM - 6 AM Estern) If he has a guest, he interviews the guest, but lets the listener decide if it is true, or whatever. He also has an e-mail address artbell@mindspring.com which he reads himself, and if enough subject lines read "The DeCSS trial is a shame" or the like, then he is going to read at least one of the messages. He gets hundreds a day, but I'm sure that with high enough volume, he can be easly reached. BTW: Yeah, I'm a fan. There is also fax and snail mail info to go along with the on air numbers that are available on the website. So go check it out. If he covers the topic, there is a major potential for tons of people to hear it. If you call in, be prepared (especially with the reason that the encryption isn't copy protection) to make a clear concise point of it. He if fourth in ratings, then we can work our way up from there. Although I don't know if Howerd Stern or Dr. Laura are the "target shows" :-). Maybe, just maybe, we can get on the number one show (Rush Limba) to get the word out to millions more. Hey, Rolly Jane (sorry about the spelling) is on and you know who she just mentioned? Kevin Mitick. (again, if I got it wrong...) I think it's the way to go...

  4. Oops -- big typo by schmofo by johno · · Score: 1 · on Happy 'Even Day' - the First in 1112 Years
    What I'm guessing is that the whole post by schmofo (claiming today was the first 'even day' since 12-28-888 contained a typo -- the fact that 12-28-888 was the even day preceeding today.

    If you follow his link the the earlier post about 'odd day' back on November 11 1999, sengan, the author of the post says "The next even day will be 2-2-2000 - the first one since 28-8-888."

    This comment is completely true -- 28-8-888 is a true 'even day'. However, the last even day according to schmoko is 12-28-888, which is not actually an even day, since it contains a '1' as one of its digits.

    I imagine this should clear up most the controversy caused by this big mistake by schmofo...

  5. Re:Direct Mail by theonetruekeebler · · Score: 3 · on Coping with Database Protection Laws
    Map makers have been doing this for years, adding a bogus street to their indices or exaggerating the curve of a road in a way that wouldn't affect driving but would pinpoint a data thief. Cliff notes do this, too--making a couple of key errors which will positively glare to an informed reader. (They also insert a few very concise passages intended to lure a hapless student into copying them verbatim.)

    Of course, some information can't be seeded this way. A medical diagnostics database, for example, could kill someone by having a bogus disease or treatment in it, and you can imagine what could happen if a metallurgy reference misrepresented the tensile strength vs. temperature curve of a material which found its way into turbine blades.

    I do admit we've entered a very sticky set of issues here. I firmly believe that Lexus/Nexus and other such databases have a right to prevent a customer from creating an account, typing

    select * from people p
    where sex='F' and
    marital_status in ('S','D','W')
    and age between 55 and 70
    and net_worth>10000000
    and not exists (select * from felony_trials
    where SSN=p.SSN and
    crime in ('MURDER', 'CONVICTED MURDER', 'BOBBITIZATION')
    and victim='HUSBAND');
    at the prompt, and creating BeARichOldLadysCabanaBoy.com out of essentially stolen data. OTOH there have been some frighteningly successful unjustified cases of Restaurant Guide A suing Restaurant Guide B.

    Here's another question: If I use the Yellow Pages to make a list of local restaurants, and write reviews of everything Asian-sounding, and put an index in the back which includes addresses and phone numbers, is Ma Bell entitled to a cut for my derivative, value-added work? If she is, I see an enormous future in making long lists of things and then copyrighting them. This certainly seems to be working in the patent community.

    On the whole, this was a very good article, if only for the questions that it left raised and left unanswered. And I'll be sure to follow eBay's lawsuit against AuctionWatch and Bidder'sEdge. To quote--uh oh--Ashleigh Brilliant, I don't have any solution but I certainly admire the problem.

    One final note--if the copyrighting of a collection of data becomes a valid future enterprise, can I go ahead and copyright my name, address, school transcripts, credit history, and the list of every web page I've viewed in the past year? I think this last would be pretty goddamned useful in smacking DoubleClick upside the head violating my privacy.

  7. Re:Question for FreeBSD users/geeks by Guy+Harris · · Score: 3 · on FreeBSD 4.0 Code Freeze
    FreeBSD will not run VMWare, because VMWare uses a kernel module under Linux. Last I checked, FreeBSD can't use Linux kernel modules. Until VMWare writes a native version for FreeBSD

    ...or writes a replacement module for FreeBSD; that page says:

    This piece of software provides some basic support for running the VMware 1.1 for Linux on FreeBSD.

    I'm using FreeBSD 4.0 -current system and don't know whether this software will work on the 3.X branch.

    At this time I was able to successfully run the following operation systems under VMware on FreeBSD:

    - FreeBSD 4.0 Current
    - Linux (Debian 2.1)
    - Windows NT
    - Windows 95 OSR2 (in safe mode :)
    - MS DOS 7.0 (Part of Win'95)

    (The answer to the implied question about 3.x appears to be "you'd have to bludgeon the kernel changes into compiling under 3.x"; I didn't put a lot of effort into trying to do that, so I don't know if it's doable.)

  8. My computer came disabled. by Shanoyu · · Score: 2 · on AOL's Upgrade of Death

    I got my comp with AOL 4.0 installed, I removed it from my computer after checking to see if PPP worked with my isp (mindspring). After removing it, ppp failed to work and the man at the clone store I had baught the computer from had to put in a new modem to get ppp to work again. When I ran the AOL uninstall program, it decided to remove all of the modem drivers and winsocks drivers as well. Kind of silly, but what do you expect out of America Offline?

    Visit Humpin! (No, it's not what you think!)

    Temporary restraining order DENIED!

    Thanks to the efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the organization and support provided by a few of our fellow defendants we are still here! Another hearing is scheduled for January 14th.

    We would like to point out to all of the mirror sites with things like "fuck the lawyers" on them that it is because of a generous group of lawyers that we are still here. These lawyers are working for free (or much less than they could get by going over to the Dark Side) and don't deserve this kind of abuse.

    Here is the EFF's stance on this case.

    Save a copy of this web page now!

    We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

    Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

    Here is a 2600 story on this.

    Explanation on legality of this information

    The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

    Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

    NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

    Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

    Current Mirrors Last updated: Wed, Jan 19, 12:13am EST

  18. PG helper software by adriccom · · Score: 1 · on Giving Project Gutenberg Recognition
    VacuumPress Braindump

    After the Project Gutenberg exposure on /. today I was invested with the idea for a needed piece of software (mentioned in a few /. posts). Two things seem needed, both of the same purpose:

    • A client program that can suck an etext out of PG (et al) straight (or nearly directly) into a PDA (palm3 here, etc)
    • A cgi/script to do nearly the same thing on the server end (that is, mangle the etext into a DOC and then a pdb) (The example given in the slashpost is AvantGo, a nifty web page caching system for Palms and such. When it works, all you do is click on a link in your browser and the helper/etc queue the pdb up in your Installer)
    As is only proper, I intend to hack on this myself (client first), but am hoping to have help. I am a lousy hacker in java perl and python, but learning as best I can.

    I figure to start in on the client using the best case scenario: a unix system with palm doc tools, pilot-link, pilot-link-perl and pyrite (the palmos module for python). Once I get something running, I will try and exchange palm doc tools code for perl or python code, eventually getting it into one module. (I intend to attempt it first with python, but I am quite open to perl, too) I would like to try and implement the serverside as a perl or python CGI (as I am without a better idea). Someone better than me could probably whip out a java1.1 client for multiplatform if some java code for making DOC files can be found, and the same goes for a servlet. I'll poke around and see if any such codes is in any of the obvious places.

    Anyway, these are my ideas. I would like yours. Feel free to flood my mailbox, etc. Email to adric@adric.com and try and put something like VP in the subject line so I can filter it from the spam :) A copy of this document and anything later will be at my site at: adric.home.mindspring.com under hacks.
