Although it can be hard to catch from time to time, radio drama is alive and well and living in Fort Edward, New York. There's a company called ZBS that has shown up on NPR Playhouse occasionally. My own personal favorite show of theirs is Moon Over Morocco, an exquisitely executed mystical fantasy, complete with good writing, good acting, incidental music, sound effects, and authentic ambient noise recorded in Morocco.
The phrase near-total subservience to commercial marketing strikes a chord with me. I was on the Internet before Al Gore invented it. I remember when spam wasn't commonplace, and I remember when people put up web pages because they thought they had information that should be publicly available.
Now, there's ridiculous amounts of money moving around creating and maintaining sites whose sole existence revolves around banner ads and acquiring email addresses. From time to time, Technocomputron Corporation may email you about special offers that IT feels may be of value to you. Click here and we'll only spam you when we absolutely have to.
Do we really need all these portals? Bah, humbug. I miss UUCP.
Does the fact that the backdoor is fixed in 2000 mean that Microsoft actually found it quite some time ago, and never issued an advisory? Just wondering.
