Low Rent Bondage (Oct 22 2003 12:59 GMT) - Posted by Candidia Cruikshanks Salon: University of Victoria student curiosity about sex with ropes and knots has led a campus club to offer a bondage class because of concern for safety. Look for $15 a couple, I am sure they get their money's worth. Little pissant doms saying, "Please, may I?" I am in favor of anything that acclimates the rising generation to slavery. |

A Marginal Believer (Oct 22 2003 12:59 GMT) - USAToday reports that a protestor outside the hospice where the brain-damaged woman in Florida is kept responded to Jeb's decision to reinsert a feeding tube by saying, "It's restored my belief in God." While I strongly support the right to die, I am nowhere near close enough to this tragic case to have an opinion worth the air to express it. But I do think that if allowing a woman to die after being basically brain-dead for 13 years is enough to make you believe there is no God, well, you just haven't been paying enough attention.... |

Bad Subjects Beyond Copyright Consciousness (Oct 22 2003 12:59 GMT) - "Today's received ideas about intellectual property can be distilled into two major threads: technology killed copyright, and copyright is anachronistic in networked culture. Both of these notions are simplistic and ahistorical, and I'll try to argue that they're shortsighted. What we really ought to be talking about is access to works. Access is related to copyright, but is really more fundamental to our freedom to think and experience. |

Victoria's Secret Not So Secret (Oct 22 2003 12:58 GMT) - Victoria's Secret grew its business by selling underthings that were extremely revealing, but it turns out they revealed too much. When they failed to respond to user complaints that some orders were insecure, allowing other customers to find out who was buying which sorts of naughty underwear, New York prosecutor Eliot Spitzer's office raided the panty purveyor, forcing it to change its ecommerce practices and pay a $50,000 fine. Victoria's Secret, for its part, denies any wrongdoing. The Register reports. [summary] |

Wonderful afternoon and evening (Oct 22 2003 12:52 GMT) - This afternoon I visited Tokyo University and was shown a pretty nifty application. Starting in 1990, they started building an application that aids in the design of - and simulation of - seagoing vessels. That was a pretty interesting application - it uses JUN for display, and is used by ship building companies here. Then they showed me another application that uses the same framework - but aids in the design of satellites. Very interesting stuff - it's always cool to see the things our customers are doing with the product. |
