SCO's moving

February 2, 2004

The SCO Group made a very public show of changing the IP address of their www server. Yesterday when it was "down" it was not providing an address. The name servers on their network were reachable and were responding but did not provide a response to the request for an address for www.sco.com.

G4 on wheels

There is a really good article about mounting a G4 in a car from the Czech Republic. This would be the start of a great command post vehicle.

Maybe I'm not a prude

I thought the halftime show tonight was terrible. It was sleazy, cheap and utterly lacked class. Evidently the NFL agrees. Thankfully they took the high road and issued a statement before the game ended.

I just found out from watching the news that I missed the "event" that they were talking about. Janet Jackson did more than 'dirty dancing' and revealed her breast at the end of the show.

It would take months for NASA's leadership to admit that something could have been done to prevent the tragedy.

Perhaps this time we'll heed the les

Budweiser's donkey who wants to be a clydesdale is the best commercial in the Super Bowl. The Fed Ex alien is a close second but doesn't match the clydesdales.

I could be mistaken but I thought the reason for not airing MoveOn.org's ad during the Super Bowl has to do with it being an issue ad. However Philip Morris just ran an issue ad about kids smoking. CBS what are the issues you're censoring? Dave Winer has a Davenet on the issue called Is CBS Lying

CD-R Archive Media

Silver Ace has a good summary of choosing CD-R archive media. Great info for those archiving data or photos on CD-R.

Passing Zone

January 28, 2004

While we're on the topic of laws to require people to do what they are supposed to. Colorado House Bill 1076 would make it illegal to ride in the left lane. It would return the passing lane to being a passing lane. Imagine.
