Accumulated Fragments
Links to share:
- DRM and MSFT: A Product No Customer Wants- Corey Doctorow's speech at Microsoft. The guy has guts.
- Everything I Want to do is Illegal- An essay lamenting the downfall of traditional agriculture.
- Examples of the President's Signing Statements- In which Bush thinks he's above the law and says so. (On a related note, here's the American Bar Association's take on the issue.)
- I'm Just Drinking- Possibly the only excuse you'll have to put the words "wiki", "alcohol", and "webcomics" in the same sentence.
- 9/11 Live: The NORAD Tapes- A stunning example of good journalism from the folks at Vanity Fair.
- What's the Real Federal Deficit?- Answer: A lot. The government doesn't hold itself to the same accounting standards it requires for corporations.
- Bump Keying- Lockpickers (some of them criminals) find a serious security flaw in the design of nearly all mechanical locks, hilarity ensues. The video is nifty and rather frightening.
- BP Shutting Down Large Alaska Oil Field- From a few days ago. That's 2% of the rate of oil consumption in the US taken off line.
- The Thirty Theses and The Primitivist Critique of Civilization- Interesting, worth a read (or reread).
