- Salt Lake City Joins Utopia. Salt Lake City has elected to join 17 other Utah cities in UTOPIA, the fiber to the home (FTTH) project that promises to provide high speed internet, data, voice, and video services to over 750,000 Utah residents. Utopia is currently preparing bonds for sale and hopes to begin construction this summer. The bonds will be revenue bonds, not general obligation, which means that they are not backed by taxes. Good for the taxpayer, but harder to sell. |

- There is no question, in my opinion, that a large amount of the anti-war movement is really just anti-Bush. It was Bill Clinton who made regime change in Iraq official U.S. policy and stated his case for taking out Saddam Hussein at least as far back as 1998. It was also Clinton who side-stepped the UN Security Council and launched the Kosovo war in 1999 without UN approval because Russia had threatened to veto it.... |

- What I Think About The Nightly News I can't even watch more than 5 minutes of it. For weeks now, our local stations have not shown anything non-war-related. I wonder, in this city of 7 million souls... has everything stopped? Even the trashy hollywood shows are all about war now. |

- David Chappell thinks, "It's hard to imagine how the people who defined WS-Security could have done a better job in solving this problem." "The lack of good SOAP-based security mechanisms has had two main impacts. One is that firms tend to use Web services in situations where less-secure communication is acceptable, such as integrating apps inside the firewall. The other is that various less-than-ideal workarounds have been found to make communication with SOAP more secure." [Source: |

- Congressman Darrell Issa wants the DoD to buy CDMA cellular network technology for Iraq's postwar wireless infrastructure. (Iraq is one of three countries without a major cellular system; Afghanistan and North Korea are the others. Guess we'll fix that problem for both of them, too.) Congressman Issa has drafted legislation to make that happen, complaining that GSM is "European" technology, and that licensing royalties would go to French and German companies if the DoD follows its current plan. |
