Richard: Do you know about the bug that depends upon the phase of the moon?
Linuxcare: I've heard about this.
Richard: We always liked to talk about the bugs that depended on the phase of the moon. So, when Guy Steele wrote the Rabbit compiler, which is a scheme compiler, he made it print out a comment at the beginning which showed the time it was compiled and so on, but it also put in the phase of the moon. So, you could always look. If you had a bug that depended on the phase of the moon, you could look at the thing and see at what phase of the moon it was compiled, and that might help you figure out what went wrong. Eventually, he got a bug report about a certain program that had been compiled once, and worked, and when it was compiled at another time it didn't work. So, he looked and he discovered that when the initial comments were printed out, the LISP feature that would automatically put in a line break if a line got too long was activated on one occasion, because the phase of the moon took too many characters to print out. So, it triggered that feature, and the last part of the phase of the moon was on another line, and therefore it wasn't marked by comments. So it was just sitting there in a file, whereas at another time the phase of the moon didn't take up so many characters, and the whole thing was properly commented. So, this was a bug that actually depended on the phase of the moon. You can take that as a final thought.
. ..When Mr. Greenspan talks, people listen, but people should listen closer.
Your quote of the 1st. point he made, I agree with completely " The internet is having a measurable and strong effect on improving economic efficiency and worker productivity in the US". Email instead of faxes, the publish/subscribe information model, and the low barrier to entry result in measurable increases in productivity. However, these advances in the business model are only advances while a difference between companies exists. It's the last point, the low barrier to entry, that will render this market influence ineffective. Even the most casual enterprise (read:the late 90's.com rush) will dilute the.com brand name, and the marketing buzz that goes with it.
On the 2nd point: "It is quite clear that the internet is in its very early stages..." is exactly the kind dangerous thinking that leads to overvaluation. Pump it out on TCP/IP and buy a little advertising time for your domain and you're at the forefront of a new economy? I just don't see it. I just don't understand the growth projections being as high as they are. maybe I'm to close to the tech to see the big picture, but I just don't understand the value of a companies IT department taking the company BBS and slapping a HTML front end on it accounts for "having an inevitable impact in the shape of the economy for many years to come."
The 3rd point: "... and may in fact be undervalued." are based on future projections of internetworking penetration and usage. It's an interesting observation, and may well be true, but there's that old market warning "past performance is not indicative of future performance" that could be aply applied in this case.
I think VALinux is Proof that the tech sector is overvalued by people not close to the tech, overvalued by people not even vaguely familiar with the companies ability to make a return on there investment. It's like betting on a horse based on his position in the starting block. The false perception that internetworking is something new is forcing companies to concentrate on 'position position position' instead of actually applying the tech to make a buck.
The merc news has a really good story about Jeff. Also in the story are some quotes. . Including. "The wake-up call was reading that Web use was growing 2,300 percent a year." (People Weekly)
"I've always been at the intersection of computers and whatever they can revolutionize." (Business Week)
"Our job is to make sure our service, in every dimension, is better than everybody else's." (Nation's Business)
"Brand names are more important online than they are in the physical world." (Inc.)
"We aren't interested in anyone's trade secrets. But we are very interested in hiring talented people." (The San Francisco Chronicle)
(Editors note: this last one is laughable, considering the 'one click' pattent fiasco)
Robert Elz will prove to be correct in the long run. The article points out that Melbourne IT is now listed at 136 Million dollars.
Now I can see that it's not just the USA stock market that laughably overvalues it's internet stocks, in fact, the entire world overvalues anything that has to do with the practice of internetworking computers (a 30+ year old technology).
The internet bubble will adjust it's valuation (read:crash) and people will wake up to find they invested there life savings in a Pentium II on a fractional T1 in the university janitors closet.
Cape Canaveral FL (UP-) Disaster at the Cape. In a bold move, NASA has attempted a launch of it's Terra orbiter, only to meet with yet another disaster.
Launching early saturday morning, the Terra satelite was to climb into orbit aboard it's powerfull Atlas rocket and release itself into orbit.
Early reports seem to indicate that the Terra orbiter has been shot from the sky from a mars death ray.
The last telemetry from the orbiter show data being recieved from the direction of the planet mars. Unconfirmed reports of the decryption effort seem to indicate that the martians are "Sorry about that last one" and they continue with attempts to explain, "It was going to land on our polar golf course".
The message is still being decrypted in small segments, and will be released when available.
...Terra, the EOS flag ship, is detailed very well on Nasa site. It goes up today on a Atlas rocket, and they have some VRML models of the spacecraft. The instrument array on board(~130k) is very impressive, not to mention the earth images page tht will soon be displaying the result of the mission. I hope you all find this information informative and useful.
The other day, Bruce heard the new Britney Spears single and proclaimed "That's a translation of the Open Software Definition(OSD)"!
The day before that, Bruce saw the Pokeman first movie with his kids and proclaimed "That's a translation of the OSD"!
It would seem that Bruce is claiming credit for the language in this document without there being any common language. Bruce, please take credit where credit is due, but not in this case.
Dan buddy, I respect you a lot, and usually find your posts spot on, but I would like to shine some light on one little thing.
Engineers need funding. I work in the private sector, and in order for me to buy software for my network, I must first accrue(sp?) the funds.
In a government model, these same funding decisions are made by the Government (i.e. Congress/Parliament/Whoever).
I would like the funding and the freedom to make the decision that best solves the problem, and this kind of legislation (passed or defeated) calls attention to a software development model that we all should be using.
Note: the following was bablefished from http://www.conectiva.com.br/jornal/noticias/not337 .html
It makes use on the use of programs opened for the beings of public law and private law under shareholding control of the public management.
Article 1 - the public management, in all the levels, them To be able of the Republic, the state-owned companies and of mixing economy, the public companies, and all the too much public or private organisms under control of the Brazilian society, is obliged to use foreground, in its systems and equipment of computer science, opened, free programs of restriction proprietor how much its cession alteration and distribution.
Article 2 - that one Is understood for opened program whose license of industrial or intellectual property does not restrict under no aspect its cession, distribution, use or alteration of its original features.
Article 3 - the open program must assure to the using the unrestricted to its code source, without any cost, with sight to modify program, integrally, if necessary access, for its perfectioning. Only Paragraph. A code source must be the foreground feature used by the programmer to modify the program, not being allowed to dim its accessibility, nor neither to introduce any intermediate form as output of a daily pay-processor or translator.
Article 4 - the license of use of the open programs must allow modifications and derived works and its exempt distribution under the same terms of the license of the original program.
1 - the license will only be able to restrict the distribution of the code source in form modified in case that it allows to the distribution of programs modified jointly with the code original source, objectifying the alteration of the program during the compilation process.
2 - source Must allow also the distribution of program compiled from the modified code explicitamente, being able in such a way to demand that the derived programs have different names or version numbers, that differentiate them of the original.
Article 5 - it will not be able to have clause in the license that implies in any form of discrimination the people or groups.
Article 6 - No license could specific for be determined product, making possible that the extracted programs of the original distribution have the same guarantee of free alteration, distribution or use, that the original program.
Article 7 - the licenses of open or restricted programs, will not restrict other programs distributed jointly.
Article 8 - the licitatórios certames that objectify to do business programs of computer with the beings specified in the article 1 of this law, will have obligatorily to be conducted by the principles established in this legislation.
Article 9 - 1 will only be allowed to the use for the beings of the article, of programs of computer whose licenses are not in agreement with this law, in the absence of open programs that do not contemplate content it the solutions object of the public licitation.
JUSTIFICATION It has more than fifteen years argues in the whole world the free manipulation of the computer programs or " free software ". In 1984 proprietor, supplied by means of restrictive licenses of ample specter was impossible to use a modern computer without the installation of an operational system. Nobody had permission to freely share programs (software) with other users of computer, and hardly somebody could change the programs to satisfy its operational necessities specific.
The design GNU, that dates of the beginning of the Movement of free Software, was established to change this. Its first objective was to develop a compatible portable operational system with the UNIX that would be free 100% for alteration and distribution, providing to the users who contributed with its development and alteration of any part of its original constitution.
Technical GNU is as UNIX, but it differs from the UNIX for the freedom that if it provides to its users. For the confection of this opened program, many years of work had been necessary, for hundreds of programmers, to develop this operational system. In 1991, the last more important component of a similar system to the UNIX was developed: LINUX.
Today the combination of GNU and the Linux is used for million of people, of free form, in the whole world.
This program is only one example of as the freedom in the alteration, distribution and use of programs of computer to be able to transform still more quickly, and in more democratic way, the profile it social and technological development in the world. The State, as fomentador being of the technological development and the democrátização of the access the new technologies for the society, cannot be to steal its responsibility to prioritize the use of open programs or " free software / open source ". E if small, the average and great companies multinationals already are adopting opened programs, thus preventing the payment of hundreds of million of dollar in licensing of programs, because it would have the State, with a infinity of devoid social causes of features, to continue buying, and expensive, the programs of market.
unless there is no, i repeat, no American company to make something that the US GOV'T needs, they will always buy American.
At the risk of bursting your bubble:That is simply not true. I sell to the our US Gov. every day, and I sell a Japaneese product, and I have amaerican made competitors. You see, Our product is just clearly better, and the US Gov knows that. The fact that Corel is Canadian has no bearing whatsoever on this.
She told me (with a certain excitement) that they had just signed a deal with Microsoft in which they agreed not to develop Enable for Windows. In return, MS would not port its office apps to X and compete against them in thier biggest market - the feds.
It's like signing a deal with Yugo not to make a Yugo that goes 180MPH. Yugo's don't do 180MPH just like Ms doesn't do X. Ms doesn't/hasn't/has no interest in making anything to X.
If this is indeed true, I would have to say that this was a very poor choice on the part of Enable.
I wonder if the DOJ is aware of this company and it's expierience with Ms.
While I would disagree that Corel is perhaps reaching a little to far over the border in this case, I would agree with their motives.
Trying to get a purchasing body to adhear to it's own rules of fairness is best solved in the courts, and I think Corel will do well in the case.
On the PR side of this issue, this should send a clear signal to all purchasing agents across the big and small companies alike and ask/force them to ask "are we giving the other choices a fair look?".
The more people start thinking this way (even if they're being forced to by a $10M suit) the more people will look at competing productivity apps in a better light, and competing OSs on a better light . .
This kind of thinking is good for open source, and gives quality software a chance to be judged on it's performance.
In correlation to the story, to not be so off topic -- it does show that the media and advertising does affect us -- but we aren't often aware of it, even if we've taken some business or advertising courses and can identify the key words used to elicit a sale, in a testimonial or whatever. Fortunately we're able to filter this information more efficiently as adults; otherwise we'd all be going to Devry, eating pringles for dinner, and being like mike and using product x.
I have to say, I agree with how well most adults are very well educated to filter messages out of the media. Having been exposed to advertising most of their childhood (adds on sat. morning tv anyone?) and adult lives, people have a wonderful way of applying adaptive filtering to weed out the junk.
The original intent behind my post was to point this out to some of the younger readers on/. and to get them to think about what they hear/see around them. People pay b(m)illions to influence people exposed to the media, and the viewers/readers are being influenced.
A quote from the Wired cover story: Marine Doom shows how anxious the corps is to use nontraditional ideas for keeping its soldiers sharp. And it's not above picking up tips from the business and entertainment worlds. For example, Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper, the Quantico base commander, recently took his top officers to a stock trading floor to study how people behave in chaotic situations. "The military needs to borrow from the commercial sector," says Carl Builder, author of The Masks of War: American Military Styles in Strategy and Analysis. "The commercial sector is moving much faster, for instance, in this area of simulation technology. This is the kind of thinking that the military needs."
Re: your comments: I only know cos I remember someone discussing it - I'd never heard of them before and I wouldn't have noticed unless someone had pointed it out.
. . the electricity, phone, internet conection doesn't work and you're pinned down behind a Gap display in the mall watching all of the looters clean out the hooded fleece stock.
I also experimented with insects, nothing to be proud of, but I think it's a very common thing. At that time I even was a Christian who still believed in God as an old guy on a cloud.
I would be willing to guess that the positive Christian influences around you offset the normal tendancies of a kid that doesn't know any better.
Are you really suggesting that without advertising Ford wouldn't be able to sell a single car or truck?
I'de be willing to bet that Ford sales would be cut in half for each year if they didn't advertise. What I'm suggesting is that the m(b)illions they invest in advertizing is done for a good reason. The company message, placed in the media, has a positive effect on their bottom line. That is a testiment to the reach of that media.
For decades now, companies have bought add time because people that are exposed to the medium are effected by that medium.
You said a mouthfull! Just look at all the legal hurdles Go.com is going through to build their "Go Network"..it's a joke! The days of the gee-wizz clever domain getting hits just based on it's name, are numbered.

Perhaps you should take a look at the cover from Wired Mag from April 1997 and read the article that details exactly how the military is used Doom in training.
A quote from the Wired cover story:
Marine Doom shows how anxious the corps is to use nontraditional ideas for keeping its soldiers sharp. And it's not above picking up tips from the business and entertainment worlds. For example, Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper, the Quantico base commander, recently took his top officers to a stock trading floor to study how people behave in chaotic situations.
