Another Work Photo (Apr 30 2004 13:59 GMT) - A few weeks ago, when I went into the area behind the office to pick up trash, I noticed a couple of green shoots that looked familiar, but I'm better at birds than flowers so I described them to Cindy and she ventured a guess.

So if you fail to make a backup of the downloaded client and the e-mail with the CD-key, and your computer crashes, you might be in |

The Algonquins themselves seem not to have been aware of it, but apparently the users of The Arab World Studies Notebook, by Audrey Shabbas, have been learning just that sort of thing. Copies of the Notebook have reportedly been distributed to some 10,000 teachers by the Middle East Policy Council. Future copies, reports Martin Kramer, will lack the Algonquin revelations. Thanks to Sandstorm. |

Digital Video DRM Debate Implicates Internet (Apr 30 2004 13:58 GMT) - Efforts by movie and television studios to preempt massive illegal redistribution of video online have far-reaching implications for the Internet, yet stakeholders remain far apart on the solutions, CDT concludes in a new report on digital copyright protection.
