Millions Await (Apr 29 2004 00:58 GMT) - Some kid won $195,000 in a lawsuit over getting teased in middle school. I don't know what the going rate per infraction is, but this sounds like millions for me! Ridiculous. Teasing and bullying are horrible things, teachers and parents... |

I'm running out of Gmail invites (Apr 29 2004 00:58 GMT) - You'd think I was giving out free money or something. They're not pre-IPO shares, just gmail invites. It's funny. Almost nobody asked me for an account until I mentioned it on a mailing list earlier today. Now I've probably sent out 20 invites in 10 minutes. |

Meltdown (Apr 29 2004 00:57 GMT) - The Eye came into the breakroom sometime after 8 PM, saw me there, and asked "Are you having a nervous breakdown? You're curled up on the couch, clutching a pillow." I looked down, realized that I was doing that, and let go of the pillow. "Um, I don't know." When he left, I grabbed the pillow again and held on for a few minutes more, then headed back up to the Music floor. |

It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas (Apr 29 2004 00:57 GMT) - When the man lying on the floor of the church screaming, the man hearing him scream, and the church's security officer are one and the same, the flow of information and action becomes quite efficient. Once the screaming has stopped, the listener can help him up and out of the building, and the officer can confidently lock up. This didn't happen tonight, but felt close enough to happening that that paragraph constructed itself in my head as I did my rounds. |

Sorting Through The Legal Questions Of Property Rights In Virtual Worlds (Apr 29 2004 00:57 GMT) - We've discussed the many questions raised about property rights in all of these new virtual game worlds. Do the laws of the outside world apply? If so, what country's laws apply? What about the end user license agreement? If that rules who owns property in the game, then (effectively) that makes the company law enforcement. |

It's the assumptions.... (Apr 29 2004 00:56 GMT) - The New York Times has an article on outsourcing in today's edition. It's interesting because it takes a mostly negative view of the issue from a technology standpoint. However, most of the problems with outsourcing flow from a fairly old problem in software development - ironically enough, it's well stated in this defense of outsourcing: In the future international division of labor, Mr. Pradhan said, the production of the technology will be done in places like India, which can deliver it reliably at a low cost. |
