- Ja fa uns dies que es va obrir Candidat 2003, una iniciativa promoguda per Europa Press Net i La Vanguardia.es amb el suport de CAT365, la Generalitat i el Parlament de Catalunya. Aquests fòrums permeten consultar els programes dels 5 principals candidats, així com fer preguntes als candidats a través d'uns fòrums. És un pas endavant, però tot i això, com molt encertadament apunta Fidel Martínez en preguntes a tots els candidats, té forces mancances: es parlava de candidats abans i tot de començar la campanya electoral, només hi ha els candidats amb representació parlamentària, les preguntes no apareixen sinó les contesten els candidats, els títols amb els que aparèixen els assignen els candidats (i no sempre correctament), no es pot replicar a una pregunta a no ser que se'n faci una de nova o es limita la longitud del text de l'usuari però no la del candidat. |

- There have been plenty of stories in the last few months about certain workplaces banning camera phones (including camera phone maker Samsung). While it's definitely important to understand the issues that camera phones raise, there's no reason to over react to them. Of course, you wouldn't know that listening to Jack Gold at the Meta Group, who has gone with the knee-jerk reaction telling people that all companies should ban all camera phones outright. This is, of course, the typical response to anyone who doesn't understand a technology and is afraid of it (just ban it!), but does little to help in real life. |

- Republican Senator: General should step aside during probe The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee called on Tuesday for the temporary reassignment of a Pentagon official who made church speeches casting the war on terrorism in religious terms. This has the Bushies in a very bad place. If they dump their loony tunes General, their core support, the Religious Right will go ballistic. However, I suspect they will dump the general anyway. |

- If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation More than a dozen American troops haven't return to duty after getting a vacation from Iraq, the Pentagon said Tuesday, dismissing suggestions there is any significant AWOL problem. Of course there isn't! I'm sure the troops are just raring to go back to stifling heat where locals shoot at them while they ponder just why the Hell are we here anyway. |

- When global warming hits big, here's some locust recipes You're not sure if I'm making this up, are you? Well, I'm not... Cambodia: take several dozen locust adults, preferably females, slit the abdomen lengthwise and stuff a peanut inside. Then lightly grill the locusts in a wok or hot frying pan, adding a little oil and salt to taste. |

- (SOURCE:Broadband Home Report: Home Networking Realities)- Wow, still have a long way to go before we can say setting up a home network is easy. Setting up routers in October 2003 for both wireless and wired networks is unfortunately much too difficult for techies and non techies. |

Non G User (Oct 22 2003 07:16 GMT) - My friend David came down from Colorado back in April and we went to the Gran Quivera Ruins. He totes his 4x5 Wista around. He loved the G2 and the results it got. |

- Many new comment features now in place, including a goofy-looking icon I drew and does-what-you-want newline handling. I also made up a really simple XML representation of Bayesian classifications and made Newsbruiser export to it. I call it Cheatsheet, and I hope others will use it so that people can, eg. share a Bayesian spam corpus between NewsBruiser and SpamAssassin. If something like this already exists, let me know and I'll kill Cheatsheet. |
