- Health plans with high patient-paid deductibles, embraced by many Republicans as a market-based solution to quell soaring medical-care costs, lead to poorer quality care and increasing patient debt, a study released on Thursday said. With the new plans, individuals typically pay the first $1000, or $2000 for families, spent on medical care each year. The plans are coupled with so-called health savings accounts, or HSAs, which allow patients to set aside tax-free funds to defray health expenses. |

- The Croquet 3D operating system project has released an initial developer release and is being adopted in a commercial product by a simulated learning company called 3Dsolve. Croquet is a software architecture designed to enable collaboration between users across the Web in a shared 3D space. It is not merely a 3D user interface for visualizing file systems or web sites, but a complete development and delivery platform for doing real collaborative work in a distributed 3D space. It is totally object-oriented, so there is no distinction between the user environment and the development environment. Unlike managed virtual worlds such as Everquest or The Sims, Croquet is based on an ad hoc, peer-to-peer network. |

- Use a non-standard browser and operating system to donate to the tsunami relief effort and get yourself arrested by the London police. If BoingBoing are right that all this guy was doing was simply donating money using the Lynx browser on a Sun Solaris system, then he can so nail the rozzers for wrongful arrest. I would also question how the police came to be arresting someone apparently upon nothing more than the opinion of a British Telecom employee that a crime had actually taken place at all. We have laws against this sort of abuse of power and they need to be exercised. |

- [codes] Famous Unsolved Codes and Ciphers ... 'Alexander d'Agapeyeff wrote an elementary book on cryptography in 1939, entitled "Codes and Ciphers." In the first edition, he included a challenge cipher. Nobody's solved it, and he embarrassedly admitted later that he no longer knew how he'd encrypted it. It was left out of the second and later editions. |

- Autant le week-end dernier j'ai passé une soirée honteuse terminée en vomi au lieu de sexy, autant hier soir c'était un de mes meilleurs concerts depuis 15 ans, en tout cas en France. Mister -M- donne tout, de la générosité jusqu'au bout des cordes, j'ai été scotchée. Du concert comme il y a 20 ans où les gens montent sur scène, où il y a une véritable interaction, pas de formatage, de l'impro à gogo et la mise en valeur certaine de ses musiciens... comme tout ce qui me touche vraiment j'ai du mal à l'écrire, donc ce sera tout, mais s'il passe près de chez vous, n'ayez aucun doute, hop!

- Bonjour à tous ! Alors, dans les nouvelles du jour, il y a bien sûr Firefox, qui a dépassé il y a quelques jours les 20 000 000 000 de téléchargements ! Bon allez, on va dire que ça fait un peu moins, comme je l'ai moi-même téléchargé deux ou trois fois (une fois pour l'installer chez un copain, une autre pour remplacer mon installation un peu fatigué (vous pensez, depuis la rc1 je n'avais pas changé le dossier de profil qui était plein d'extensions et de thème que je n'utilisais plus !! Plus récement, Ben Goodger annonçait que la sortie de Firefox 1.1 serait sans doute un peu déclalé, mais rien d'allarmant. |
