Silicon Valley - Dan Gillmor's eJournal - White House Website and History

Put simply the White House is blocking search engines from archiving certain parts of their website, including any page that mentions Iraq. This would be a fairly simple way to make it more difficult for people to find previous White House statements that contained inaccuracies (or lies) and compare them to current statements.

A techie doesn't come up with this kind of policy. Bush probably didn't either, but he's the boss. And from the top down do these policies trickle. Just another stonewall in the face of open government.

I gotta brag on this for a second. I'm in my Mom's living room which I have setup as a true computer/multimedia crossover heaven. Let's look at this system:
A good CPU (Athlon 2K, 60 GB, 512, dual g4 440s, tv tuner, CDRW, DVD)
Dual 15 inch LCDs
27 inch TV
Logitech z680s

I ran wire under the carpet and everything... well it works the way it should. Computer on the TV, TV on the computer... recording capabilities, playback, good sound, secondary sound, tertiary sound... it's just good stuff.

Gallery :: your photos on your website: "'I have to admit I was a little nervous. I have not played with scripts or PHP much (ok, not at all) and I was a little nervous about all those comments, FAQ's and questions in the forum. But to my surprise..it was very easy. I had the photo album up and running within a couple hours. Thank you for writing a great script. '

The difference between Linux and M$ users in testimonial form. To a Windoze user anything that takes "a couple hours" to install isn't worth doing. For us it's just par for the course:)

What kind of guy would allegedly smuggle "dangerous" objects onto an airplane and then write the FBI about it? Call his Dad and find out!

Apparently this guy is an MIT alum... He's also a possible ham radio enthusiast, and the son of the author of a well known guide to Shenandoah National Park

Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters: "One of the greatest mysteries of today is whether a pirate is good or bad. On one hand, Disney campaigns against digital piracy while making a movie, 'Pirates of the Caribbean', pushing a theme park ride that celebrates life under the Jolly Roger. On one hand, we celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day, while on the other hand this fine, upstanding investment company was fined $19.7m for copyright infringement"

Oh precious irony.

Another strange and obviously invalid software patent. When will the patent office get it?

News - Ottawa - canada.com network -- Canada could face sperm shortage

"Canada could face a serious shortage of sperm for artificial insemination because of legislation that would ban payment to donors, critics say.

Infertile couples who hope to have a baby through donor insemination could be thwarted by the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, now nearing third reading in the Commons, some say.

Canada already depends on sperm from the United States to meet most of its needs, and the main U.S. supplier says the bill's ban on payment could threaten its Canadian operation."

Hmm. I was gonna bash Canada, but well... you know.

Ace Of Spades - Lyrics:
Ace Of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

I wondered when these stories were gonna get lobbed out there. When Ahnuld put out political feelers in 2000 these stories surfaced right away.
