A speech given to MSFT research about the evils of DRM
Senator Hatch (who used to understand stuff) has introduced the INDUCE Act, which will criminalize the act of inducing another to commit a copyright violation. This is a brand new theory of copyright liability, which, as this floor statement makes clear, is directed at overturning Sony with respect to p2p.
The proposal alone is troubling enough. But the outrageous part is that there is talk that this massive new layer of federal regulation of technology will happen without hearings — indeed, that it will be passed in the next weeks. More…
Washington, DC, Jun. 24 (UPI) — After choosing his running mate, U.S. presidential candidate Ralph Nader urged likely Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry to pick Sen. John Edwards as his own. More…
While browsing through Rasmus’s Tips and Tricks slides from his talk at PHPCon, I think I found my answer (on page 25 of the accursed PDF file), in what he calls “funky caching.” It works like this: you redirect 404 errors to a PHP script, which looks at the requested URL, decides whether it should actually exist, and if it should it builds the file from the database, saves it to the filesystem, and then returns the page to whoever requested it. Next time that URL is requested, the static file will be served.

Notification in Mozilla when Gmail arrives
Some really good stuff currently at informed consent.
G-Mailto is a utility that automatically associates “mailto” email links on the web with GMail. So clicking a link like this: Email me! will open up the GMail compose window instead of opening up something like Outlook Express that doesn’t work with GMail (yet). More…

I’m going to Santa Cruz to meet Sarah’s family. Fear, Anticipation, Excitement.
Finals are nuts. Car is going to be towed back to Victorville.
7 hours till my last two finals; im hiding in the computer lab on campus until the campus police stop searching the night library; I can’t find my bruincard and they’ll throw me out if i dont have it.
Resetup my email forwarding so it doesn’t die if Groupnetwork died (i mean when groupnetwork dies again)
Gmail is quite cool, email me if you want an invite. Props to Lora for getting me started.
Suddenly had an urge to find something that hilights code if posted on the site, of course thats more entertaining than studying.

for line in array: line = blah
I’m just saying, thats a nifty way to do fors.
Regex rocks too.
I’m noticing more and more inefficiency in my code… using an O(n^2) solution when a O(nlogn) sol was available, my java code for a file parser being roughly three times the size of my TAs… practice I guess.
Amazingly, there is no Madonna on my ipod right now and I’m sad about that. Also I’m sad that I can’t find any of the Tolkien Ensemble (without, you know, actually buying the Cd’s from denmark)…
VH1 had a new program on today, the “Top 100 moments that rocked TV”… #1 being Clintion playing the sax on Aresenio Hall… I wish I watched that show when it was out… Anyhow, a good 5 hours went there, instead of , you know, studying.

AP: McCain Rejects Kerry’s VP Overture
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican Sen. John McCain has personally rejected John Kerry’s overtures to join the Democratic presidential ticket and forge a bipartisan alliance against President Bush, The Associated Press has learned.
Kerry has asked McCain as recently as late last month to consider becoming his running mate, but the Arizona senator said he’s not interested, said a Democratic official who spoke on condition of anonymity because Kerry has insisted that his deliberations be kept private. A second official familiar with the conversations confirmed the account, and said the Arizona senator made it clear he won’t change his mind.

THE SENATE AIDE who blogged her sex secrets has been named and fired. Jessica Cutler, 24, who has become better known in Washington circles as “Washingtonienne”, was fired last week from her job as an entry-level aide to Republican Senator Mike DeWine.
Her blog, which she set up so she didn’t have to write so many emails to her friends, detailed her sex-ploits in the corridors of power.
