First a note on gender. The name Ilana strikes me as feminine, so I will refer to the author as she rather than he.

His essay was published on the web.

All can read it, save it, print it, give it away.

I think that pretty much means he has no IP rights to it. Except, perhaps, that the National Post has it copyrighted by default, like everything else.

I have pretty much taken that at face value. Since the type was so tiny that I couldn't read it, I downloaded and restyled the article. The entire article, (minus the National Post cruft) is (temporarily) online at My site. Warning, I am at the end of a low-bandwidth pipe. I can only handle some 30 .. 60 hits/minute. I doubt that a haevy load would take the site down, but you might have trouble getting through.

MODERATORS: please do not raise this above "2" to keep my load down.

I suggest you contact him -- I'm more than willing to bet that he would ask the National Post to release copyright on this one article. Otherwise perhaps he would be willing to release it himself in a show of good faith.

I have not contacted the authour since there was no clue in the original as to how to do so. If anyone knows how to do so, please write me! You have the hostname, the username should be "websmith".

Here's a little rant I wrote in July:

OK... I've heard this a few too many times now.about the "rich getting richer while the poor get poorer." The concept was originally started by liberals so they could justify the socialistic programs they favor... Make all the "poor" people think the rich are getting richer while stepping all over their "right to happiness" so that they can justify the raping of the income of the middle class and up.

Are the rich getting richer? You bet. Of course, what they don't say is the number of millionaires is now in the thousands when just 50 years ago, you could probably count them on both hands. Are the poor getting poorer? Let's look at that:

In 1960, less than 50% of the population had a television. In 2000, 99% of all households have at least 1 COLOR television and 81% have 2..
In 1970, less than 1% of the population had a VCR. In 2000, 92% of all households have a VCR.
In 1950, 61% of households had at least one car. In 2000, 79% of households have 2 cars and 92% have at least 1.
In 1950, 78% of households had a refridgerator. In 2000, 99% of households have a fridge.
In 1980, less than 1% of homes had a computer. In 2000, 77% of households have a computer
A poll done in 1999 showed that 89% of poor people ate a regular meal and that 73% of poor people had at least a weeks food in storage
Another poll showed that 43% of "poor" people had an air conditioner

So, the poor don't really seem to be getting poorer. They've had a HUGE improvement in quality of life... similarly, the rich get to play with all the new fancy toys (that they pay out the ass for since they're new). The "class" that has seen the smallest improvement is the middle class who have the burden of supporting the "poor" people without the benefits of having the money to waste - we're allowed enough to just get by. Take a look at third world countries for truly poor people.

Heed my warning... the increasing demands of the "poor" for government support is increasing the burden of the middle class. Eventually, we're going to get fed up with it. It'll be one of the preciptating factors behind the second american civil war( expected before 2050, maybe 2030 ).

"Worse is Better" paper by nonya · 2000-07-16 00:46 · Score: 2 · on What About Functional Languages?

Richard Gabriel wrote a paper (in 1991) called Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big that tries to explain why lisp didn't take over the world. The "Worse is Better" section is particularly relevant.

On a slightly different topic, to understand why lisp is so interesting I highly recommend On Lisp by Paul Graham. A quick summary of cool lisp features are:

Very powerful macros. The full power of lisp is available when a macro is expanded.
An object system with mulitmethods and a metaobject protocall.

Disclaimer: I'm a C++ programmer. I've spent much more time reading about lisp than witting lisp programs.

Look guys, we're grown up enough to get over the "Gray Goo" scenarios of killer, runaway nanobots. We have the damn things already, with names like "Ebloa", "HIV, "Hepatitis" and "Termites". The only reason we can't currently beat them is because we don't have control of a suitably advanced technology.

Nanotechnology is THE advanced technology. It is the only technology we would be able to counter a deliberate nanotechnology offensive with - if anyone were able to build a serious nanotech weapon, and that is not as simple as it seems.

The alternative is to wait - either not doing much, or actively banning nanotechnology, it doesn't matter much - until they develop nanotechnology in Switzerland, Brazil, Japan or whatever. Once someone builds a single functional assembler, it will not be hard to distribute copies or cross national boundaries.

Transmeta has already started the process with their "soft" processor. The design concepts and partnership with IBM have inexorably set in motion a series of steps which will bring us protein-based nanotechnology within 5 years, and an assembler probably by 2010.

Mirrors part 1 by Anonymous Coward · 2000-01-16 07:10 · Score: 0 · on New DVD Lawsuits Filed by the MPAA (UPDATED)

Note: This mirror list has been copied from http://www.humpin.org/decss/, on January 2nd 2000 13:13 GMT

Mirrors since 28-Dec-99 added by me.
To my main DVD page (containing list of lists of mirrors) 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.
If you need a REAL reason to host these files, try reading this. Truth has never been more purely distilled.

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.

Price isn't even a factor for me by benmhall · 1999-09-29 19:46 · Score: 3 · on Would Linux Survive if Solaris Was Free?

I'm a student.

I own the free version of Solaris. I rushed out and bought it the first week it was released for free. I also own too many distributions of Linux. I've installed Solaris on about 8 machines at various jobs. Every time I've thought "What a poor imitation of Linux."

I have my own Web server. It runs Linux or FreeBSD (Which I also bought) depending on my mood. When I installed BSD I thought: "Wow! This is very usable, it reminds me of Linux!"

Solaris, on low end hardware (any Intel) is very slow compared to Linux. I haven't run Solaris on many Sun Workstations, so I can only hope that it is exponentially faster, but for me, what makes Linux so great is:

Open kernel sources
The ability to modify the kernel
Hardware support (Especially Video, sadly lacking in Solaris)
The community spirit
The great software:
- Apache
- Gnome
- KDE
- Vi
- Emacs
- Gcc (Gotta have a compiler)
- Enlightenment
- The Gimp
- XFree86 in general
- PHP/MySQL
Telneting
A completely customizable OS
Text files for modifying EVERYTHING
The speed
The great multitasking
Samba

Now, it's true that practically everything on that list is doable under Solaris, in fact all of that software will easily compile and install under Solaris (Heck, I've done it!)

But NONE of it is as nice or as integrated as it is in Linux. To me, Solaris is the NT of Unix, and Sun the Microsoft of Unix.

I like that Linux is developed by the community for the community. Same as the BSD's. For that reason, I am a total convert who will never give up my cherished platform.

I have deployed Linux as web servers into two environments, my own server, and one that was previously running IIS. In both cases, we fell under the category of being allowed to run the "Free" Solaris. In both cases we had access to NT, Linux and Solaris. In both cases we chose Linux. It had NOTHING to do with price.

If Solaris was OpenSource, MAYBE it would be a contender, but I doubt it.

If this is going to be in embedded applications, USB isn't useful right now. Most interesting devices like sensors, modems and GPS units etc. all run on RS232. I'd like to see more serial support; the I2C can be handled with bit-twiddling.
