George W. Bush: Bring Them On

Phillip Greenspun’s Weblog

George W. Bush today, the most powerful man in the world, directly addressed Iraqis who are sniping and firing grenades at American troops: “bring them on”, he taunted, according to this NYT story. As noted in my Boston-Alaska-Baja-Boston 2002 trip report, this seems like a bad idea. What better way to make a guy with an AK-47 feel important than by challenging him through a televised speech?And surely American boys will die as a result of this speech. It sounds like W. mano a mano with a young Muslim. But having been a passenger on an airplane that makes a carrier landing does not make our President into a front-line soldier. It will be some kid from North Carolina that gets killed.

He is exactly right. [thanks to scripting.com for the link]

Yahoo! News – Hatch Takes

Yahoo! News – Hatch Takes Aim at Illegal Downloading

“I’m interested,” Hatch interrupted. He said damaging someone’s computer “may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights.”

The senator, a composer who earned $18,000 last year in song writing royalties, acknowledged Congress would have to enact an exemption for copyright owners from liability for damaging computers. He endorsed technology that would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, “then destroy their computer.”

Great, the chairman of the senate judiciary committee is advocating vigilante justice.

I don’t envy France in the Modern Congo

I don’t envy France. Their peacekeeping mission in the Congo puts them in the unfortunate position of dealing with rival armies composed of significant proportions of child soldiers.

Why Software Isn’t Free

Scripting News

It just seems silly. I pay $1 to ride the subway downtown. It costs $300 to fly to NY and back (two hours in the air). A cab ride to the airport — $40. My monthly rent is in the thousands. Medical insurance about $10,000 per year. Everything costs money. So does software. Don’t fool yourself.

PayPal Pleasures the Religious Right

Salon.com Technology | PayPal stops sex merchandise payments

PayPal, a subsidiary of eBay Inc. that processes payments anywhere in cyberspace, will stop taking payments for most adult-themed merchandise over the next five weeks. Other electronic payment services, including Yahoo! and Visa USA, have also tightened restrictions on sexually explicit items.

I am not at all pleased. This is what is wrong with America in 2003. They are doing this because some small minded little busybodies are pressuring them to, small minded busybodies who think their opinion should matter in their neighbor’s bedroom, in your, bedroom, your living room, your kitchen, your wherever.
