Knighthood for Web Inventor Tim Berners-Lee
Is Sir Berners-Lee now the Knight of Sad Countenance in the face of commercialization, absurd non-Web techniques, browser incompatibilities, control attempts by large companies, control attempts by politicians, and the absolute garbage that's cluttering the Web? Don Quixote de la Berners-Lee?

Linux Magazine - ssh
An older article in Linux Magazine about the use of ssh. Contains a whole series of tips and further links. Among other things, it also points to nosh ( Source and Debian Binary), a shell that very restrictively allows the definition of commands that users can execute. Since the article contains old links, the current ones are provided above. I developed nosh at some point from osh (I can't find a homepage for it) because I needed a shell that really only allowed users to do what was absolutely necessary. In critical environments, this is often much simpler than blocking inappropriate areas through Unix permissions (or alternatively building chroot jails). Here is the original article.

Clement: Still 18,000 without apprenticeship
Why would a non-training levy do that, it could straightaway get employers to provide more training positions...
Who exactly do Clement and business representatives think they're fooling here? You can clearly see from the development of available training positions that the economy has no interest in providing training at all.
Of course, afterwards there's more complaining that qualified employees are lacking and that they need to bring in Indians or whoever via green cards to have qualified staff. They'll get screwed over just the same and can then meet up with the unemployed youth without training down at the train station...

Mars Mission: ESA Trembles for the "Beagle"
Well, there are still some options for making contact, after all the Beagle will be trying out a whole series of variants (frequencies, etc.) over the next 10 days. So there's no need to panic yet.
And Mars Express itself is already a very impressive success - and with the high-resolution camera system and radar system also very interesting.
All in all, a good achievement. Of course, the Beagle would be the icing on the cake - and it wasn't so cheap that you could just throw it away.

Way Out of the Box
An interesting article by Ted Nelson - the inventor of hypertext - about the limitations that software still imposes on us today, even though we could have come much further. For him, we haven't progressed much beyond paper and pencil, not even with the much-praised Web - ultimately the concept of pages and browsers is still heavily bound to old concepts.
A few of his criticism points are being addressed today by techniques developing in the realm of weblogs (trackback, comment functions at a level below the page, search functions on page elements instead of entire pages, higher degree of linking), but largely he is right - it's actually somewhat depressing when you consider how the digital simulation of paper and pencil is becoming ever more perfect, while at the same time possibilities are being squandered.

GROKLAW - Linus Comments on Alleged SCO Files
SCO not only claims trivial files to be theirs (ctype.h and errno.h are really nothing extraordinary), but they even claim ownership of versions that were demonstrably already used by Linus in Linux 0.01. If SCO has nothing better to show, this will be a laughingstock for the entire industry.
LWN: SCO''s copyright letter
And here is the letter with the files that would allegedly be illegal in Linux due to copyright claims on APIs. Which is of course particularly amusing when a file is named bsderrors.h - and the comments on the letter point out a few other problems in SCO's claims.

SCO vs. Linux: Loyal Customers

Blogging and Publicity
An interesting comment on what blogs are and how they differ from previous forms of communication: Blogs are an instance of "publicy" - the McLuhan reversal of "privacy" - that occurs under the intense acceleration of instantaneous communications. Our notion of privacy was created as an artifact of literacy - silent reading lead to private interpretation of ideas that lead to private thoughts that lead to privacy. Blogging is an "outering" of the private mind in a public way (that in turn leads to the multi-way participation that is again characteristic of multi-way instanteous communictions.) Unlike normal conversation that is essentially private but interactive, and unlike broadcast that is inherently not interactive but public, blogging is interactive, public and, of course, networked - that is to say, interconnected. This characterization applies equally to diaries, link hubs, and every other variation on the blog theme. However, this classification only considers the topic from the direction of communication, not its outward form. But perhaps form is truly irrelevant - certain characteristics inevitably emerge, but the exact form of blogs is as diverse as the programmers of the software (and the users who modify the templates and thus the presentation). The way we communicate probably says far more about what makes blogs what they are than the way we present that communication visually. Here you can find the original article.
