- The Evolution of Cooperation by Robert Axelrod is an outstanding book. First published in 1984 it has increased in significance with the evolution of the Internet. In the book Axelrod examines how cooperation can emerge and stabilize in multi-participant environments. The book is fascinating as an analysis of the evolution of cooperation, but is of particular interest to anyone seeking to establish effective; social software systems, peer-to-peer networks, or multi-player gaming environments. |

- When I subscribe to a feed via the subscribe button, it does make a subscription with limited success. It creates a subscription, but it does not create a folder like when I add a feed manually. I have triple checked all my settings, everything is correct.Why is this not creating a folder being it is set to create a feed folder automatically? |

- I had tentative plans to go to Vegas this weekend which got shut down. As you may have realized by reading for few days, I was pretty bummed by this. As a result, I found myself watching the tail end of Ocean's Eleven on cable. I would have been staying at the Flamingo, which is across the street from the Bellagio, so it was sort of a knife twist. Oh well. |

- Ondertussen heb ik het probleem al wat kunnen versmallen. Het blijkt nu dus dat de 3D-kaart van nVidia (GeForce4 MX AGP 8x) niet ondersteund wordt. Blijkbaar wordt die 8x AGP niet goed ondersteund. Nu moet ik dus de nVidia nForce en GLX drivers downloaden. Dan de kernel patchen en hercompilen : |

- Tom Coates has been discussing technical tricks for coping with message-board trolls on his Everything in Moderation blog, and, surpisingly, an avowed Slashdot troll has shown up to explain why he undertakes extreme technical measures to disrupt Slashdot's message baords. ...i believe that the people who must be treated with the most public, forthright, and open methods of censure are those who offend us the most. i do not believe that trickery is ever as effective as open methods because trickery is, at its core, dishonest to both the person being tricked and the online community you have secretly enacted policy for. i believe that secret punishments inevitably lead to abuse and combativeness, that they lead to an arms race against people of equal intelligence and unlimited free time. |

- It doesn't seem all that long ago that we were arguing over built-in obsolescence. It was an era in which consumers were increasingly unwilling to sit and let the whims of corporate America, their quest for ever-growing profit, define the public's welfare. Yet even then, as protestors stared down rifle barrels and radical laws were passed protecting the environment, even as black America began to emerge from a centuries-long hell and migrant laborers began to discover power and self-respect, even then it was a challenging notion that Detroit might build in obsolescence so that we'd have to buy new cars instead of driving reliable ones. It was a radical notion then, but look around you now. It's the norm. |
