- There was another "Support the Troops" rally here this weekend, this time attended by thousands of motorcyclists. Most such rallies tend to be self-congratulatory exercises in flag-waving that have no discernible effect, save for pumping up already over-inflated local politicians. "I support the troops" says the bumpersticker. That's just swell and I'm sure that GI Joe and Jane appreciate the sentiment, but they can't see it because they're STUCK IN IRAQ!

- From *asterisk: Proper titling of you Web pages is probably the easiest and best thing you can do to improve the usability of your Web site. So, I ask you, why do people insist on using clever and/or vague titles? ... A clear, descriptive title for your posts and articles is a very helpful, very good thing. |

In it Schwartz emphasises the different ways that companies can add value to open source not by just providing code, and among some other interesting tidbits he talks about IBM and HP. A key to understanding the Sun/Microsoft agreement is his statement that "a deeply held belief that a rising tide lifts all boats, and that interoperability between Sun and Microsoft grows the overall market for both of our products rather than advantages one company versus another." |

I need 20 people to pledge $25 per month and I will have met my fundraising goal. If it weren't for some generous gifts from my church and a few wonderful friends this number would be much higher. |
