"As part of the plan to deceive Israeli intelligence services, the 36 containers containing the munitions were then transferred to a German cargo ship sailing under an Antiguan flag. The ship is owned by Cypriot charter company UFS, and its captain is Polish."

I'm drooling: 100Mbps symmetrical FTTH service for $60/month, 150Mbps for $100/month. Their service area is Downtown Albuquerque, between I-25, Rio Grande, Lead, and Mountain.

C'mon folks, isn't this exciting and drool-worthy?
- Michael R. Bernstein
Also, I made a map of their service area: http://maps.google.com/maps...
- Michael R. Bernstein
Well, crap. They raised their price for the 100Mbps service to $80/month. Still a great deal, but not quite as drool-worthy.

@h4ck3rm1k3: I don't think distributing data under a license intended for code is a good idea. Or vice-versa, for that matter.
Mike Chelen and Maxamad (Amazigh) liked this
something more custom tailored is likely to be better, still one may provide a good starting basis for the other
- Mike Chelen
But all code is data and all data is code. You are entering a maze of twisty licenses, all alike.

Interesting 'report', more or less applying the dynamics of taste tribes to book publishing and marketing.

Thanks Michael ... I put this out on Twitter. Are you ever going to join Twitter?

Unlikely, as long as Twitter remains a walled garden.
- Michael R. Bernstein
in what way is twitter walled? posts are available through the RSS standard and a publicly accessible API

@h4ck3rm1k3: Any VCS would be fine with me. I have a preference for Python web frameworks. How do you want to license the data?

@h4ck3rm1k3: I'd prefer straight SA, but my objection to NC isn't very strong.
these restrictions are a better compromise than reserving all rights, yet may still significantly limit later reuse and contribution

"It seems to me there is still a nasty loophole here: If Microsoft has a patent on the technology, and sells or transfers the patent to SomOtherCo, the new owner can then sue since they are not bound by Microsoft's promise."

Comment on: Only Connect - Should Broadband Access Be a Right? - http://radar.oreilly.com/2009...
Mike Chelen liked this
Perhaps the use of the word 'right' here isn't appropriate for bandwidth guarantee, but there are some related formulations that would be appropriate, such as one modeled on the Second Amendment: "The right of the people to create, connect to, and communicate via information networks shall not be infringed." Or perhaps a formulation based in part on the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of monopoly on the the right of the people to peaceably create, connect to, and communicate via information networks." A little awkward, I know. Anyway, we don't have a 'right to food', a 'right to medicine', a 'right to electricity', or a 'right to shelter', even though as a society we do make some efforts along all those lines, but we do have a concept of public 'rights-of-way' which I think might serve as an analogy here. In fact, part of the reason the US broadband market is in such poor shape is because the natural monopolies of public rights-of-way (both...

Shelley, while Mark's post makes it clear why he's not freaking out over the <em>potential</em> loss of income, I don't think it has been established that there has been any <em>actual</em> loss of income in this case, for Mark or for APress.

JUSTICE Act would roll back telecom wiretap immunity - Ars Technica - http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
Mike Chelen and Fossil Huntress liked this
"A group of Senate democrats has proposed a new bill called the JUSTICE Act which seeks to impose stronger safeguards on the surveillance powers granted by the PATRIOT Act. It would also roll back a controversial provision of the FISA Amendment Act that granted immunity to telecom companies that participated in warrantless surveillance."

You know i have a love/hate relationship with Zope but since this is about the love let me add my own entries...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Deployment - now i hope they havent changed that in newer versions, because deployment between a development and live server was an absolute dream. It would show you which things have changed, which might be different from the last sync too (thanks to versioning), and let you chose what to deploy. Not seen it done better on any platform I have used
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
TAL - I would marry TAL (sorry R!). This is the one thing that can give a whole order of magnitude improvement in quality and productivity in a web production environment. Proper decoupling of design and development (when done right, of course). Seriously. Should be in every language and every framework. Every nasty surprise and day lost I have had due to Zope/Plone is easily redeemed...

Who uses Zope?
- Meryn Stol
more than I would have thought if the number of job enquiries that end up in my email are anything to go by. It's good for intranets needing multi lingual and workflow etc. Some newspaper portals. Large institutions and charities too. Easier out of the box than all the java portals, if you need a portal style site
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
So mostly for internal use?
- Meryn Stol
That's where it is used the most, but you also have external facing portals - say a city site or a government site. But I havent used Zope in ages, Michael will know better
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Meryn, Zope is used in many places. Plone is a popular CMS for both internal and public-facing sites that is built on top of Zope. There are also non-portal web apps like Zenoss that are Zope-based.
- Michael R. Bernstein
And that is aside from projects that use Zope libraries for non-Zope (even non-web-app) purposes.
- Michael R. Bernstein
true - i noticed the libraries even on minimalistic distros like Slitaz - had one of those "whats zope doing here" moment
