Slump in Technology Spending Pushes Sun Deeply Into the Red By CHRIS GAITHER
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 -- Sun Microsystems Inc. (news/quote), which makes data-serving computers and networking software, reported a steep quarterly loss today as it continued to struggle with frugal corporate spending on technology.
Sun, based in Palo Alto, Calif., said it had lost $431 million, or 13 cents a share, in its second fiscal quarter, ended Dec. 30. The loss edged past Wall Street analysts' estimates, but widened from the first quarter and stood in stark contrast to the profit of $423 million, or 13 cents, reported in the period the previous year.
Sun said it had made progress during the quarter. It said orders stabilized, it worked off $200 million in inventory, and introduced servers and the first stages of Sun One, its Web services initiative that will compete with Microsoft (news/quote)'s.Net.
Hurt by its exposure to dot-coms, financial services companies and telecommunications providers, Sun said it was working to win more customers in more stable markets like health care, education and government.
"We're just doing the best that we can in a difficult environment," Mr. Lehman said.
"I think they've put together enough of the ingredients to do it," she said. "What could sideswipe them is if the economy doesn't give them any sort of help whatsoever, but that would sideswipe a lot of companies."
Shares of Sun fell 25 cents yesterday, to close at $12.12.
Pat Robertson v. America, Round II Post date 01.14.02 | Issue date 01.21.02
The last time we heard from Pat Robertson, it was shortly after September 11, and he was furiously distancing himself from his good friend Jerry Falwell. Falwell, appearing on Robertson's show, "The 700 Club," had said the terrorist attacks were "probably what we deserve" given "all the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians" living in the United States. And although Robertson had concurred with Falwell's comments when he originally uttered them ("Jerry, that's my feeling," were his exact words), a few days later--following a huge public outcry--Robertson deemed the comments "inappropriate." Except that now, on "The 700 Club," Robertson has done his friend Falwell one better.
"America will survive what is coming," he declared ominously, "but it won't survive in its present form. The proud will be humbled and then the time will come that they will turn to the Lord.... And, there's one last thing that the Lord led me to in Isaiah.... `Destruction is certain for those who say evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.' Those who say evil is good and good is evil, and that's what's happening in this country. Certain perversions, sexual perversions for an example, are being touted as a privileged activity, and those who oppose it are being called evil."
And just to make sure no one missed the significance of his vision of "destruction" for those who tout "sexual perversions," Robertson added, "I do believe that San Francisco is going to be a target of these people"--i.e., the terrorists. And to think we'd foolishly imagined that the only people looking forward to the destruction of American cities were in Al Qaeda.
Compassionately Conserving Enron by Arianna Huffington
So now we know why the White House has spent the better part of a year fending off congressional efforts to find out who Vice President Dick Cheney met with for input on his energy task force. Turns out that the vice president and his staff had at least six meetings with representatives from Enron--including one with Chairman Kenneth L. Lay--the last of which occurred just six days before the company revealed that it had vastly overstated its earnings, signaling the beginning of the end for the energy giant.
Since the Enron collapse, President Bush has been acting like Lay was just some good ol' boy who also happened to hail from Texas. This new information proves otherwise: that Lay and his company's sizable political contributions had bought what Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles) has termed "extensive access" to the epicenter of American political power. It's Teapot Dome, the Sequel.
During his run for the White House, Bush fought long and hard to convince us that he was a new breed of conservative--a Compassionate Conservative. But recent events make clear that he is actually the standard-bearer of a far more coldhearted breed. Call them the Enron Conservatives. Enron Conservatives are people who use political money and connections as levers to free themselves of all accountability to laws, regulations and responsibility--even to their own employees. Simply put, they are people who consistently, shamelessly and aggressively put their self-interest above the public interest. And when the lives of others are destroyed in the process, they just look the other way and hope that the law does too. And, all too often, it does.
It probably is too much to expect the Federal Trade Commission to hop on the Enron investigation bandwagon and look into whether Bush violated truth-in-labeling laws during his campaign, when his pledges of compassionate conservatism were stump speech favorites. But it should. Because we've heard precious little of them since Bush took the oath of office.
"While many of our citizens prosper," the freshly anointed president said in his inaugural address a year ago, "others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country." And those nagging doubts are only aggravated by the behavior of Enron executives who continue to prosper even as thousands watch their jobs--and their life's savings--disappear.
Candidate Bush was so eager to paint himself as a Compassionate Conservative that he even dared to impugn the moral supremacy of the free market--blasphemy in the eyes of his party's doctrinaire right wing.
"The invisible hand works many miracles," said Bush during the summer of 1999, evoking Adam Smith's famous paean to market forces, "but it cannot touch the human heart." This simple truth lies at the core of the need for fair and rational government regulation of industry. All too often, after all, the human heart is filled not with goodness but with greed, selfishness and a desire for profit at any cost.
Too bad Bush left this noble idea on the campaign trail. Since taking office, the hallmark of his administration has been an unwavering belief in the free market's invisible hand. In the last year, the president and his anti-regulatory appointees have (take a breath): abandoned a campaign promise to regulate carbon dioxide; repealed workplace ergonomic rules designed to improve worker safety; proposed reversing regulations protecting 60 million acres of national forest from logging and road building; and canceled a looming deadline for auto makers to develop prototype high-mileage cars. And that's just a partial list.
Not even the rapacious excesses of the Enron debacle have quelled the drive for deregulation--or the ardor of Enron Conservatives who champion the cause. Pat Wood, Lay's handpicked choice to head the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, insists that the collapse of Enron "doesn't seem to be tied too much to deregulated energy markets." You know that something is rotten in Washington when the top energy industry regulator is so unabashedly anti-regulation.
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, is another Enron Conservative who sees the energy giant's collapse as an aberration, not a smoking gun. He dismisses Enron's demise as "an in-house problem" and continues slaving away on a deregulation bill that would make Lay proud.
Then there's Lawrence Lindsey, the president's top economic advisor and a former advisor to Enron, who went so far as to claim that the Enron disaster "is a tribute to American capitalism." And Sept. 11 was a tribute to Islamic ingenuity.
Not that long ago, Bush was vowing to battle domestic suffering with "armies of compassion." Instead, he and his cadre of Enron Conservatives are adding to the carnage.
This is ridiculous. Phillips, a Dutch company, has been one of the few companies to embrace progressive policies that place concern of people over profits. There is no record, to my knowledge, of Phillips fucking anyone.
Yes.
How can one move a population unaware/unconcerned about the complications of national government? At least lawmakers/thinkers are being shown on tv now I hear (albright, freidman, and others, even franzen.) But still, when Kansas wants to fuck up the evil, and the president does to, what else do they need to know? What else do they want to know?
Southern Partisan: Another issue to do with the President is this idea of an International Criminal Court. You've again been one of the few that has been willing to stand up against that.
Senator Ashcroft: It's an outrage! It has the potential of subjecting American citizens, (at least for their actions abroad and maybe for their actions at home) to vague criminal charges that would spring from so-called "crimes against humanity." Some of the things they're listing as crimes against humanity are "enforced pregnancies." There are lots of people who wonder if the culture would decide not to make abortion available, would that mean that they were "enforcing a pregnancy"? For heaven's sake, that would make withholding of an abortion a crime against humanity when many Americans believe that providing an abortion is a crime against humanity. This is a part of this administration's effort at international government, and in order to govern internationally, they have to sacrifice sovereignty at every turn.
You mentioned Ronald Reagan. Let me just run something by you. Ronald Reagan had a profound impact in terms of the way the world operates. But it wasn't because he would sacrifice sovereignty. Ronald Reagan did not see himself as a governor of the world, he saw himself as a leader of the world. Instead of sacrificing to some coalition or committee bits of U.S. sovereignty as a way of influencing the course of world events, he would strengthen the position of the United States and lead the world to his point of view. That's a profound difference.

Thus, the issue of whether the global ozone layer shows a steadily depleting trend is still controversial.
Taken right from the essay. Although I would agree with you in that I'm not totally convinced on the issue of 'ozone layer depletion' either, it is interesting to see that this article begins with a scientific basis of 'the uncertainty' of research on ozone layer cause and effect and quickly progresses to the fact that it costs lots of money to phase out 'potential' ozone depleting chemicals and whether or not it is in the US's interest to stay in potentially expensive environmental pacts.
I think one of the key things that we have come to realize at the end of this century is that many of the large scale phenomena we witness here on Earth are the products of an extremely complex and often non-linear series of events. Our technology has reached the point where it can and often does cause serious changes to our environment. One of the problems with the point of view that this essay takes is that it neglects 'precaution' in favour of the idea that we should be more concerned with short term economical gain.
If something has the potential to possibly cause damage, isn't it more logical to stop using it? Even if we are only right 1 in 10 times on whether something can cause damage to the environment, I would rather waste the money controlling the nine than sweeping the one under the rug.
"The industry has wasted $1 billion in failed products like pen computers," said Thad Starner, an associate professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, famous for wearing since 1993 his own PC104-based computer with head-mounted display. "People have perceptions of a wearable computer that led to disappointment when they saw a device. But this is not another form of a desktop computer."

Think about what is more difficult in terms of computing. An implementation of calculus (not lambda, haha) or a million repetions of singular ideas?

Thus, the issue of whether the global ozone layer shows a steadily depleting trend is still controversial.
Taken right from the essay. Although I would agree with you in that I'm not totally convinced on the issue of 'ozone layer depletion' either, it is interesting to see that this article begins with a scientific basis of 'the uncertainty' of research on ozone layer cause and effect and quickly progresses to the fact that it costs lots of money to phase out 'potential' ozone depleting chemicals and whether or not it is in the US's interest to stay in potentially expensive environmental pacts.
I think one of the key things that we have come to realize at the end of this century is that many of the large scale phenomena we witness here on Earth are the products of an extremely complex and often non-linear series of events. Our technology has reached the point where it can and often does cause serious changes to our environment. One of the problems with the point of view that this essay takes is that it neglects 'precaution' in favour of the idea that we should be more concerned with short term economical gain.
If something has the potential to possibly cause damage, isn't it more logical to stop using it? Even if we are only right 1 in 10 times on whether something can cause damage to the environment, I would rather waste the money controlling the nine than sweeping the one under the rug.
