McBride's New Open Letter on ... (Dec 08 2003 06:49 GMT) - McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights: "An open letter was posted today by Darl McBride, where he restates his claim that the GPL violates the U.S. Constitution, patent laws, copyright laws, and the DMCA. Mostly he just builds up a false image of the Free Software Foundation and open source supporters claiming that they have no respect for intellectual property and believe copyrights should be eliminated, then attacks that image, AKA the straw man attack. |

Mini-Itx Epia P4 (Dec 08 2003 06:47 GMT) - Last year, I wrote a little about the Epia Mini-Itx motherboard. While the form factor is awesome, it was just to slow to use as an HTPC or a dedicated server. Via has just released the new Mini-Itx P4. Check out this bad boy: Supports Intel Pentium 4 or Celeron Processor (478-pin), 533/400MHz Front Side Bus, Hyper-Threading Ready VIA P4N266A + VT8235 Chipset One 184-pin DDR DIMM slots Up to 1. |

Tomcat 5 - as nice as Tomcat 4, but JRockit 8 is nice (Dec 08 2003 06:46 GMT) - Ooops. Turns out that it wasn't Tomcat 5 that provided the 15-20ms/page performance. Instead, it was the JRockit 8 JVM that did the trick. I got the same performance with Tomcat 4, but switching to Sun JVM /w server settings increased the rendering time to about 40ms/page. Oh well. |

All Smile and No Substance (Dec 08 2003 06:46 GMT) - Robert Steele has an interesting take on Howard Dean's "book" Winning Back America: I was one of the first "substance experts" to believe that Dean could and should be President, and I remain convinced that he is the only Democrat that can beat George Bush. However, this light little book misrepresents Dean as being possibly as shallow as the incumbent, and will be appealing only to those who a) are not interested in substance and b) are for Dean regardless of his substantive positions. It took me less than ten minutes to "read" this book, ... which is double-spaced and has chapters that lean toward five pages each (double-spaced). |

Truthout.org interview with Sidney Blumenthal (Dec 08 2003 06:44 GMT) - "He was depicted as decisive, in command, somebody who completely grasped and was in synch with the needs of the difficult moment the country faced on September 11. In fact, he is manipulated by his staff, buffeted by the neoconservatives inside his administration, kept from important information, unknowledgeable about so much information, makes decisions on the most simplistic basis, never carries through on his own policies such as the Roadmap to Peace in the Middle East, operates in a closed, small circle, doesn’t seek out information independently, has fostered internecine warfare within the National Security apparatus between the intelligence agencies – including the CIA – and the Defense Department and the National Security Council." |
