22 Sep 2001 Slashdot | Michael Jackson Releases Uncopyable CD Well actually it's Sony. This CD works fine in CD players but is unreadable on a CD-ROM drive in a computer. That's a clever trick, but shouldn't there be some sort of warning on the box? Presumably it also gives you the right to buy it, rip it from analog to MP3 and then take it back for a refund as it doesn't work.
[ 22-Sep-01 5:13pm ] Metacrap : tremendous short piece from Cory Doctorow about the problems of metadata. Both funny and thought provoking at the same time.

[ 21-Sep-01 1:07pm ] "Afghan Kebab House II" Great little story found on Blogdex about eating a meal in an empty Afghani restaurant in the USA. So when you take a programmer to lunch, go to a middle eastern restaurant. The food's good and they'll appreciate the business.
[ 21-Sep-01 9:20am ] CW360° - Article Page : The dangers of P2P networks A security Xspurt speaks. Yup. Those guys in marketing are stealing all your bandwidth with Gnutella. And the COO just gave all the company's secrets away in an ICQ session. And the Sysadmin just got fired for running the SETI project on all the servers. Oh my. This stuff is dangerous.

[ 20-Sep-01 9:45pm ] The Register : The IT industry has done a poor job in projecting its Web servers from the effects of the Nimda worm. That's the conclusion we draw from evidence that Web sites belonging to Dell, Microsoft, NTL and corporate ISP C&W INS all show tell-tale traces of Nimda infection. Well there you go. How ironic that this story is almost an exact mirror of one around the time of Code Red II.

[ 20-Sep-01 8:44am ] [ 20-Sep-01 8:35am ] blogdex : top 10 recent links Blogdex is an MIT project to spider blog sites and count links. It then ranks the links according to how often bloggers link to them. This is generating a running guide to what bloggers are finding interesting. I feel sure that there is some overlap between this work and RSS headline feeds. Just not completely sure what it is yet.
[ 20-Sep-01 7:44am ] There are increasing calls to outlaw encryption, build US Gummint approved security into computer hardware and stamp down on free speech that discusses it. But the genie is out of the bottle and you can't legislate it out of existence, only turn legitimate users into criminals. Well I have this to say to you.
F*** Censorship:- When encryption is outlawed, only the OUHSD KLJASN BVQWO UYDDN BQWAZ. [ 20-Sep-01 7:32am ] WTC Non-US Death Toll Outnumbers American No comment, just a fact.
