We've had, as some of you who Googled for North Carolina Bomb, our report about the Bomb online since 2000. The new report does have new findings -- our FOIA was never answered -- but our report has a lot of information that I haven't seen in the articles so far including maps and interviews.

Bush's memo/article (published originally in The Atlantic Monthy) did have an effect in America. But the ideas in it as regards hypertext are far from original.
From 1937, HG Wells' essay/lecture "The World Brain: The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopedia" reflects a more accurate version of what we now call the World Wide Web. Bush's hypertext was mostly personal and barely social. http://sherlock.berkeley.edu/wells/world_brain.htm l
And even more important was Emanuel Goldberg, who actually had the machine that Bush describes working and patented pre-WWII. Unfortunately, for Goldberg, who had been head of Zeiss Optical, the Nazis tried to surpress all of his work. He eventually ended up in Palestine (later Israel of course) where his further work was kept secret. See Michael Buckland's great biography for this story in creativity, leadership, technology, politics and history. http://www.amazon.com/Emanuel-Goldberg-His-Knowled ge-Machine/dp/0313313326/
The authors point out that "IP-layer neutrality is not a property of the Internet. It _is_the Internet." Then go on to say that "Providers certainly should be allowed to develop services within their own networks, treating data any way they want. But that's not the Internet."

Re: Unauthorized Use of Universal Motion Pictures Notice ID: 926003 9 Aug 2003 22:53:51 GMT
Dear Sir or Madam:
Universal City Studios Productions LLLP and its affiliated companies (collectively, "Universal") are the exclusive owners of copyrights in many motion pictures, including the motion pictures listed below.
It has come to our attention that University of North Carolina is the service provider for the IP address listed below, from which unauthorized copying and distribution (downloading, uploading, file serving, file "swapping" or other similar activities) of Universal^?s motion picture(s) listed below is taking place. We believe that the Internet access of the user engaging in this infringement is provided by University of North Carolina or a downstream service provider who purchases this connectivity from University of North Carolina.
This unauthorized copying and distribution constitutes copyright infringement under Section 106 of the U.S. Copyright Act . Depending upon the type of service University of North Carolina is providing to this IP address, it may have legal and/or equitable liability if it does not expeditiously remove or disable access to the motion picture(s) listed below, or if it fails to implement a policy that provides for termination of subscribers who are repeat infringers (see, 17 U.S.C. ?512).
Despite the above, Universal believes that the entire Internet community benefits when these matters are resolved cooperatively. We urge you to take immediate action to stop this infringing activity and inform us of the results of your actions. We appreciate your efforts toward this common goal.
The undersigned has a good faith belief that use of the motion pictures in the manner described herein is not authorized by Universal, its agent or the law. The information contained in this notification is accurate.
Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of Universal with respect to this matter.
Please be advised that this letter is not and is not intended to be a complete statement of the facts or law as they may pertain to this matter or of Universal^?s positions, rights or remedies, legal or equitable, all of which are specifically reserved.

We, at ibiblio and UNC, just got a Cease and Desist letter citing the DMCA because we have a couple of large files with the word "Junior" in their names. Junior-2.2-CD1.iso and Junior-2.2-CD1.iso are in a directory called/pub/linux/distributions/altlinux/ISO which pretty much says that they are Linux distributions in CD image to anyone vaguely clued. But Vevendi (or their funky infringement-seeking robot) thinks they might be the 1994 Arnold S bomb, Junior, To respond to their completely bogus complaint, we have to grab the files and install 'em and then report back. At our time and expense. I am not full of love over this. It's their job to find a infringements -- not just make a few guesses and then demand that we do the rest of the work for them for free. Makes me wanna see a movie for free! (not Junior however).
As I wrote in LocalTechWire. Mosaic was not the first and not the best browser.
Web Turns 10 - But Was Mosaic Really First and Best Browser? No, No. By Paul Jones, Special To LTW Editor's note: April 22, 1993, is widely regarded as the day on which a number of people, including Marc Andreessen, who went on to help found Netscape, produced Mosaic - the ground-breaking Web browser. But was it really the first? To mark the 10th anniversary, Local Tech Wire asked one of the pioneers in Internet development - Paul Jones - to talk about the rise of the browser and how the technology transformed the Internet. Jones, who is director of ibiblio.org, a project that includes the Site Formerly Known as MetaLab and SunSITE, The Public's Library, has some very interesting observations.
CHAPEL HILL - I don't mean to spoil the party, but the geek in me is forcing me to tell the cold unsociable truth - Mosaic, the browser that taught us the World Wide Web, is neither the first web browser nor is it the best. To make matters even more, well uncomfortable, I believe that Mosaic was a serious step in the wrong direction.
The web seems wild and wide open now, but yes it was once designed to be more so. Believe it or not - the Web was designed for connectivity for all users, not just for publishers or information providers and it allowed the person browsing to create pages and links quickly and easily. The first web browser was about sociability and the interchange of ideas, not just delivery of linked pages.
The real "Tucker" of Web browsers was the browser developed at CERN -where the web itself was developed - for the NeXT computer. The CERN Browser allowed not only web page browsing, but also WYSIWYG page creation and the ability to create links by simply highlighting text on a browsed page and linking that text to a page under construction by an easy click.
The Hypermedia Browser also called Nexus and for a while called WorldWideWeb was written by none other than Tim Berners-Lee in 1990 and released in Christmas of that year. The focus of Tim's Browser was collaboration and mutual linking as reflected by the ease with which pages could be produced and links made between pages.
I created my own first web page with only a few seconds instruction from Tim and a look at his demo age (a copy of which can be found at www.ibiblio.org/pjones/old.page.html ).
For Tim's own description of the first Browser as well as screen shots of the browser in action see www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/WorldWideWeb.html
More participation
Notice that the Web in Tim's vision, as seen in his browser, was to be about active participation and creation of shared linked pages.
Mosaic did have its moment of promoting collaboration. In Mosaic 1.2, the Group Annotations feature allowed readers of pages to add notes to those pages. This innovation was a precursor to the message boards, discussion groups and blogs of today. The nice thing about Group Annotations was the ease in which you could make notes for other group members. Even better Annotations in Mosaic supported both text and audio comments.
Although Annotations would eventually collapse due to their over-popularity (and unscalable protocol design), the feature did manage to keep part of the dream of a sociable Web alive. But with the release of Mosaic 2.0 in September 1993, the folks at NCSA's System development Group decided to kill Group Annotations "initially" which turned out to be forever. (See target="_blank">archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/So ftware/Mosaic/Docs/group-annotations.html for NCSA's description of Annotations and their brief tale of their depreciation.)
'A nice piece of work...'
The Mosaic that finally appeared in September 1993 was a nice piece of work. Mostly
Helms' staff was influenced by the 7/24 classical non-profit WCPE here in NC. Deborah Proctor, the station manager, helped other small NC webcasters be in touch with Helms' staff as well.
Speaking of that web page, you write about yourself in both first and third person. Any chance of making that a little more consistent?
i'm creating a dialectic with myself? because i need a quick bio to cut and paste for folks to use occassionally soooo the first two paragraphs are for that and in third person. perhaps i should add a couple of paragraphs in second person to fill that void.

It's not that secret since you can see the Google banner from the street. No, I'm not telling which street.
If you've read other Dan Lyons articles on Linux or spoken to him about an article, you know what I mean.
Many more Seafaring songs on the site for your pleasure.
Is there a place for fresh thinking and new recommendations in the infamous "network neutrality" debate?
Seth Johnson, David P Reed, Siva Vaidhyanathan, Pamela Samuelson, David Weinberger, Andy Oram and others [including me] have issued a new proposal on designed to "Preserve the Internet Standards for Net Neutrality."
The authors point out that "IP-layer neutrality is not a property of the Internet. It _is_the Internet." Then go on to say that "Providers certainly should be allowed to develop services within their own networks, treating data any way they want. But that's not the Internet."
