  1. On a positive note... on Solar Sail Launch Failure Confirmed · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...this means that Count Dooku shall be denied an escape vehicle!

  2. Re:I beg to differ with AccordianGuy's assessment on Dive Into Python · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are you sure I classify your book among the "bookends"? I never made reference to any specific books.

    Hey, if you got a book deal and got to write about one of your favourite programming languages, you've gone farther along the publishing trail than I have. More power to you! I'm merely saying what kind of books I like.

  3. Sychronocity! on Spectrum as Property · · Score: 5, Informative

    Clay Shirky has just posted his essay, The Possibility of Spectrum as a Public Good . It starts with mentioning that the FCC is considering opening up additional spectrum for unlicensed uses -- "the same kind of regulatory change that gave rise to Wifi" -- and points out that "The 2.4Ghz spectrum is not treated as property, with the FCC in the ungainly role of a 'No Trespassing" enforcer; instead, it is being treated as a public good, with regulations in place to require devices to be good neighbors, but with no caps or other restrictions on deployment or use."

    Good reading all 'round.
