Ash: A Secret History
·
· Score: 1
From the Article:
while the book's American publishers are putting it out in four parts, with the
last part due before year's end (The Book of Ash: #1 A Secret History, #2 Carthage Ascendant, #3 The Wild Machines, #4 Lost Burgundy).
So you are going to miss anything; you'll just have to buy four books.
Maybe they were afraid you couldn't read a full page of text completely?
The f***ing companies kept making me repeat the process. From one company I got notices once a month for 6 months before I gave up. Each notice required me to write and send them a letter fulfilling their requirements and the only way to make certain I was meeting all their requirements was to read every part of every paper they ever send me. I do that most of the time anyway, but eternal vigilence is tough in this case.
That will not work if you have made purchases, which is truly the most important aspect of what they would be selling. Course maybe a name change would be effective enough to keep it from being associated with you.
Most of the tracking is through simple calculations. Except for stormy periods, the drag is relatively constant, so if you know the position and velocity vectors an object in orbit, it only requires relatively simple calculations to keep track of it. And then when it passes a point that is convienent, you can double check yourself...not to belittle their job, because it is a lot of work.
A delta second stage is less controlled than a deorbiting spacecraft. The place of re-entry is essentially fixed, so it is much more difficult to ensure that a delta lands safely than satellite pieces.
I think the DMCA would only apply if this was an attempt to break a copy protection scheme (CSS in DeCSS's case). Clearly the protocol is not a copy protection scheme, but a communications protocol, which in my opinion would not be covered by DMCA.
The MPAA is only asking the Court to enter an injunction against Eric Corley, a/k/a "Emmanuel Goldstein" and those persons acting in concert with him, in the use of
DeCSS hyperlinks.
Since Judge Kaplan's January 20th ruling that barred the posting of the DeCSS utility, the defendant has blatantly attempted to evade the practical impact of that order
by exhorting others to post DeCSS as many places as possible on the Internet, and has created hyperlinks that link directly to the DeCSS program on these other sites.
The list of DeCSS hyperlinks on the 2600 Enterprises web site has grown to over 350 sites, making the defendant's site, in effect, a distribution center for the ready availability and delivery of DeCSS. Distributing or trafficking in software that circumvents copy protection is illegal under federal law.
Doesn't restricting the use of hyperlinks infringe the First Amendment's protection of free speech?
United States law recognizes that freedom of expression and protection of copyrighted material go hand in hand. The MPAA defends Mr. Goldstein's right to criticize the
MPAA on his web site, but his right to express his views does not give him the right to use his web site as an engine for distributing an illegal software program that allows unathorized and illegal access and copying of motion pictures. "Emmanuel Goldstein" has no more right to distribute DeCSS in this way than he would to distribute keys to your house and a map because he did not like your furniture.
Jesus...and all this time I thought it meant "root mean squared".
I just thought that everyone thought "root mean squaring" something was either really likeable or really objectionable.
Now, I'm gonna have to go back and actually read a whole bunch of articles over again. I thought you open source people were just excited to discover the power of squares and square-roots.

If it becomes illegal to "link" to sites, will it still be possible to write the URLs on a website?
How the #!$%# can the court NOT see that this is an issue of free fucking speech?
The examples in the article about companies suing because people linked to copyrighted material is pathetic. These people need to figure out how to limit access to the information through technology not through legislation.
Below, please find 3 unconnected disjointed thoughts about this story.
........................
Good move for microsoft. This really adds to their depth and breadth of development tools. I am somewhat surprised they haven't done this sooner.
...................
This will make the DOJ's split into two companies even more worthless though. I really think that if they are going to split them, then many more slices need to be made.
..........
Will microsoft try and license(rent) the eventual boxes (WebTv)? Cable companies have gotten away with this for years, so why not Microsoft too, right?
My big hope for the film is that they will flesh out some characters. The last few films have had very little character development (and too many big name star, IMO), which has made them poor films (IMHO also). I would like to think that Hollywood could be bothered to spend some time on character development and stop treating movie-goers like 2nd graders.
The classification of satellites by micro and nano are not by simple guessing, there are definite bounds...600 lbs is a microsatellites.
Not all digital components have problems with space radiation. Many commercial digital components do quite well. He is either misinformed or you did not understand exactly what he was saying.
The problem with nanosats is coordination and bandwidth. For them to be useful, they need to be well coordinated. This requires accurate navigation at very high speeds. This is easier in the near earth environment cause we have GPS navigational aids.
Because of this navigational problem, we are not likely to see many nanosats in deep space missions for quite some time. Heck, I don't expect to see someone solve the nav problem well enough in the next 10 to 15 years to make a near earth collection of nanosats more useful or cheaper than microsats, but you are quite right that this is the way of the future.
Once again, COTS digital parts are not crap to space radiation. For instance, this Samsung SDRAM is quite resistant to space radiation.
Actually, I believe that both political parties have publicly said that they plan on increasing NASA budgets. But we all know how politicians can say one thing and do another.
"NASA is so focussed on science/engineering that they don't understand How To Make Friends and Influence People"
I disagree. I think they are VERY good at it. This whole piece was an orchestrated piece of NASA PR.
www.nasawatch.com thinks so too:
{
3 August 2000: NASA Mission Costs Soar, AP, Yahoo
"Nothing has been canceled yet, said Ed Weiler, NASA's associate administrator for space science. He flatly denied rumors that he had already cut a mission to Pluto, the solar system's smallest planet and the only one never visited by a spacecraft."
Editor's note: Yes Ed, but you have certainly been giving people the clear impression that you are looking for money - and that cancellation of programs - specifically Pluto Kuiper Express - is
a viable option under consideration.
}
Have you seen the Today Show recently...at least once a week, NASA officials come on talking about the latest and greatest mission or technology. They spend a lot of their budget on PR...not that other government agencies don't, but they are much more savvy than you think.
They have been known to divert money to projects that they like. For instance, last year they secretly funded some $40 million dollars into a program (I think it was an inflatable structure) that had no spending authorization...OOOPS.
IMHO, it is quite possible that NASA planned too many missions knowing quite well that they wouldn't have enough money to get them complete.
They probably figured that if they got started, Congress would be more willing to continue funding than to pull the plug after money was already spent.
NASA has been known more than once in recent years to play financial games.
Your right, in fact it work even better on some of the 0.13 um processes...but the idea will not happen. Why? Because _no one_ would stop thier XX Billion dollar fab for you to run off a few 486s or Pentiums that they can probably at best sell for $10 when they could be making $500 processors.
They have run pentium class processors too...but they and the 486s are not typically considered for mission critical applications because of Single Event Effects (SEE) problems, particularly Single Event Latch-up.
SEi (space electronics inc. - now a Maxwell company) makes a hardened 486 single board computer for space, but it is a real dog and probably expensive at that.

If it becomes illegal to "link" to sites, will it still be possible to write the URLs on a website?
How the #!$%# can the court NOT see that this is an issue of free fucking speech?
The examples in the article about companies suing because people linked to copyrighted material is pathetic. These people need to figure out how to limit access to the information through technology not through legislation.
Please write your Congressperson today!

Below, please find 3 unconnected disjointed thoughts about this story.
........................
Good move for microsoft. This really adds to their depth and breadth of development tools. I am somewhat surprised they haven't done this sooner.
...................
This will make the DOJ's split into two companies even more worthless though. I really think that if they are going to split them, then many more slices need to be made.
..........
Will microsoft try and license(rent) the eventual boxes (WebTv)? Cable companies have gotten away with this for years, so why not Microsoft too, right?
My big hope for the film is that they will flesh out some characters. The last few films have had very little character development (and too many big name star, IMO), which has made them poor films (IMHO also). I would like to think that Hollywood could be bothered to spend some time on character development and stop treating movie-goers like 2nd graders.
Perhaps you should read the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"...it is a somewhat interesting perspective on that concept.
But you can stick four of them side by side and get 64 bits without much difficulty (except maybe purchasing and affording them ;-) ).
The classification of satellites by micro and nano are not by simple guessing, there are definite bounds...600 lbs is a microsatellites.
Not all digital components have problems with space radiation. Many commercial digital components do quite well. He is either misinformed or you did not understand exactly what he was saying.
The problem with nanosats is coordination and bandwidth. For them to be useful, they need to be well coordinated. This requires accurate navigation at very high speeds. This is easier in the near earth environment cause we have GPS navigational aids.
Because of this navigational problem, we are not likely to see many nanosats in deep space missions for quite some time. Heck, I don't expect to see someone solve the nav problem well enough in the next 10 to 15 years to make a near earth collection of nanosats more useful or cheaper than microsats, but you are quite right that this is the way of the future.
Once again, COTS digital parts are not crap to space radiation. For instance, this Samsung SDRAM is quite resistant to space radiation.
Actually, I believe that both political parties have publicly said that they plan on increasing NASA budgets. But we all know how politicians can say one thing and do another.
I think they are trolling for more budget.
"NASA is so focussed on science/engineering that they don't understand How To Make Friends and Influence People"
I disagree. I think they are VERY good at it. This whole piece was an orchestrated piece of NASA PR.
www.nasawatch.com thinks so too:

3 August 2000: NASA Mission Costs Soar, AP, Yahoo
"Nothing has been canceled yet, said Ed Weiler, NASA's associate administrator for space science. He flatly denied rumors that he had already cut a mission to Pluto, the solar system's smallest planet and the only one never visited by a spacecraft."
Editor's note: Yes Ed, but you have certainly been giving people the clear impression that you are looking for money - and that cancellation of programs - specifically Pluto Kuiper Express - is
a viable option under consideration.
}
Have you seen the Today Show recently...at least once a week, NASA officials come on talking about the latest and greatest mission or technology. They spend a lot of their budget on PR...not that other government agencies don't, but they are much more savvy than you think.
They have been known to divert money to projects that they like. For instance, last year they secretly funded some $40 million dollars into a program (I think it was an inflatable structure) that had no spending authorization...OOOPS.
IMHO, it is quite possible that NASA planned too many missions knowing quite well that they wouldn't have enough money to get them complete. They probably figured that if they got started, Congress would be more willing to continue funding than to pull the plug after money was already spent. NASA has been known more than once in recent years to play financial games.
Your right, in fact it work even better on some of the 0.13 um processes...but the idea will not happen. Why? Because _no one_ would stop thier XX Billion dollar fab for you to run off a few 486s or Pentiums that they can probably at best sell for $10 when they could be making $500 processors.
They have run pentium class processors too...but they and the 486s are not typically considered for mission critical applications because of Single Event Effects (SEE) problems, particularly Single Event Latch-up. SEi (space electronics inc. - now a Maxwell company) makes a hardened 486 single board computer for space, but it is a real dog and probably expensive at that.
