The NIC for Sao Tome is at www.nic.st (a common pattern for resold-ccTLD NICs...)

Doesn't take much in the way of code - most Windoze versions are willing to let you tell them up to three DNS servers to use, though sometimes on dialup connections you'll have to haggle with them about whether to accept DNS server addresses from the dialup instead of your dedicated ones. That means that as long as you've got some DNS server other than 127.0.0.1 to resolve queries for you, you can simply point your PC there.
Colin Powell needs killing
Colin Powell, recently admitted that the War on Terrorism will never end "in our lifetime"? Lets all chip in and make it a 'quicky'.(my APster 2$) 1982,Ronnie Reagan authorizes much broader powers for the feds to hide/withhold information on citizens on "national security" grounds. "If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms & the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. As long as the workers keep their hands in their pockets, the capitalists cannot put theirs there. With passive resistance, with the workers absolutely refusing to move, lying absolutely silent, they are more powerful than all the weapons & instruments that the other side has for attack."

Anarchist Q+A.How to deal with psychiatric illness.
ANARCHIST QUESTION AND ANSWER Q: How would an anarchist society deal with people with psychiatric illnesses? A: One in four people will develop a psychiatric disorder within their lifetime. One in ten of the 25% of the population who develop a psychiatric illness will develop an illness that puts them or the community at a serious risk. Anarchism as a political and social philosophy has a poor track record of dealing with people with major psychiatric problems. Many anarchists believe that psychiatric illness is a direct result of a situational crisis and in an anarchist community, psychiatric illness will not be a problem. Even if we accept this false assumption, it would take generations for psychiatric illness to "wither" away. Unfortunately, although some psychiatric illness is related to life experiences and the situation people find themselves in, some like physical illness, is due to biological problems. No attempt of love, understanding or support will solve the problem. What does an anarchist community do when somebody9s psychiatric problems, leads them to cause harm to themselves or other people? Does the community let them do whatever they want? Does it expel them? Creating a caste of outlaws in the process or are people9s freedoms restricted to protect them and the community? At the end of the day, the problems that an anarchist community faces concerning psychiatric disturbances, is the same that any other community faces. The difference hopefully is the way that anarchists deal with the problem. All too often, it9s much too difficult and anarchists ignore the problem hoping that it will go away. So we9re back to square one. What would we do? One possible way of tackling the problem is appointing or electing a panel with both lay people and professionals on it, to look at cases that are referred to it. Obviously in a time of crisis, the individual concerned would be restrained and kept under observation in their own home or a secure facility until assessed by the panel. They would be offered treatment if there was any significant delay in assessing their case. If they refused treatment they would be kept in a secure situation until assessed. Bizarre behaviour, voluntary euthanasia, personality problems and any other behaviour that does not pose a major threat to the individual concerned or somebody else in the community, would not lead to that individual being detained for assessment. The panel would attempt to encourage the individual concerned to undergo voluntary treatment, if they refused, forcible treatment would have to be considered. Doing nothing would put both the individual and community at risk, creating a climate of fear, loathing and vigilante justice. It9s best to temporarily restrain somebody and offer them or force them to have treatment, than waiting for them to kill themselves, kill other members of the community they live in or seeing them being killed by people who are defending themselves against unprovoked attacks.

E for Eureka.AUSTRALIAN RADICAL HISTORY THE EUREKA SERIES Nos. 9 BALLARAT REFORM LEAGUE On Saturday the 11th of November, ten thousand miners meet at Bakery Hill and formed Ballarat Reform League. The meeting began in a tent but as thousands arrived it was moved onto Bakery Hill. The diggers set both short term and long term political goals for the Ballarat Reform League. The League used the British Chartist movement9s principles to set their goals. The meeting passed a resolution "that it is the inalienable right of every citizen to have a voice in making the laws he is called on to obey - that taxation without representation is tyranny" Many of the miners at the meeting had been involved in British working class uprisings in the 18409s. They were familiar with Chartist demands for universal manhood suffrage, abolition of the property qualifications for members of parliament, payment of members and short-term parliaments. Many were aware of the brutal way British troops put down working class movements in Newport and Birmingham in the late 18409s and many of the foreigners at the meeting had been involved in the failed 1848 revolutions across Europe. The Bakery Hill meeting decided to secede from Britain if the situation did not improve. "If Queen Victoria continues to act upon the ill advice of dishonest ministers and insists upon indirectly dictating obnoxious laws for the Colony, under the assumed authority of the Royal Prerogative, the Reform League will endeavour to supercede such Royal Prerogative by asserting that of the People which is the most Royal of all Prerogatives, as the people are the only legitimate source of all political power." As well as these long term goals, the diggers wanted the Gold Commissioners on the goldfields, disbanded and they wanted both miners and storekeepers licenses abolished. The meeting agreed to set up a large permanent tent at Bakery Hill, to act as an office for the Ballarat Reform League. The League decided to issue membership cards to members. John Basson Humffrey was elected President and George Black, Secretary of the League. The meeting also passed the motion "the meeting hereby pledge themselves to support the Committee in carrying out its principles and attaining its objects - which are the full political rights of the people" The scene was now set for an escalation of the conflict between the Ballarat miners and the Colonial authorities. One side would be forced to submit to the authority of the other. BOOK REVIEW EUREKA REMINISCENCES Edited by Ballarat Heritage Services. 1998 ISBN 0 646 35238 5 This interesting 84 paged pamphlet brings together the stories of many of the participants in the 1854 Eureka rebellion, who came to Ballarat in 1904 for the Eureka Jubilee celebrations. The cover of Eureka Reminiscences, a yellowing black and white photograph of about 80 participants in the Jubilee celebrations sitting and standing at the Eureka Monument in Ballarat, gives a human dimension to these historical events. The reminiscences of the participant9s newspaper extracts celebrating the 30th anniversary of the events in 1884 and the Jubilee in 1904 are for the most part disappointing. The two 1884 accounts which appeared in the Ballarat Star convey some of the radical sentiments that caused the Rebellion. The bulk of Eureka Reminiscences is made up articles, which were written by many of the participants that attended the Jubilee celebrations in 1904. Their accounts, personal reflections on the events that in the main seem to be devoid of any political or social content, appeared in the Ballarat Courier, The Melbourne Argus, Geelong Advertiser, The Mount Alexander Mail and the Ballarat Star. The only article from the 1904 collection that stirs any fire in the belly are the reminiscences of John O9Brien, a digger who took part in the fight at the Eureka Stockade in 1854. My personal feeling is that many of the articles sent in for publication in 1904 were heavily edited and the more radical reminiscences, were not published by editors who were ambivalent about the Eureka Rebellion. Fifty years after the Eureka events, debate still raged about whether Jubilee Celebrations should be held for an event which many people in 1904 still believed to be treasonable. Eureka Reminiscences suffers from the inevitable problem, that first hand accounts that are edited and filtered by a second party are subject to their credit. Ballarat Heritage Services has gone to the trouble of bringing together these accounts in this slim volume. Unfortunately its significance is not as important as I imagined because I believed that Eureka Reminiscences was a first hand account by survivors of the Eureka rebellion, not edited, hand picked newspaper articles that fitted the editorial guidelines of the publishers of newspapers in 1884, 1904 and 1909. Eureka Reminiscences is available from the publishers, Ballarat Heritag
Where's the fucking UN?
WHERE9S THE UNITED NATIONS? As the situation in the Middle East deteriorates, the United Nations is conspicuous by its absence. Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Somalia, Afghanistan and East Timor are a few of the world9s trouble spots where United Nations troops have been deployed in the past decade. The conflict between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli State has been allowed to drag on without United Nations intervention because of the United States intransigence in the United Nations. Any permanent member of the United Nations Security Council can veto any resolution put before the United Nations. Time and time again, the United States has vetoed requests by the world body to have United Nations observers placed between Israeli and Palestinian forces. The Palestinian Authority has time and time again called for United Nations observers to be placed on the ground in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Israeli State9s refusal to recognise the Palestinian State has allowed them to ignore any requests for intervention, as they say that the problem is an internal problem not a problem between two states, so according to their logic, the United Nations has no mandate to intervene. The current cycle of violence cannot be resolved by either side or the United States. It9s a problem that potentially effects the whole world because Israel has a nuclear capacity that it will use, if it believes its existence is threatened. United Nations intervention would act as a brake on both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority. Israel9s current policy vacuum is isolating not just the Israeli State but Israeli citizens from the rest of the world. History tells us that no State can survive in isolation. As the pressure in the Middle East rises, its possible that even Israel9s staunchest ally, the United States, may abandon them to their fate, to protect their access to Middle East oil supplies. Israel9s continued survival depends on the establishment of a Palestinian State and establishment of economic and social links between itself and its neighbours. The policy being pursued by the Sharon government is a policy that if pursued to its logical conclusion, will lead not only to the destruction of the emerging Palestinian State but Israel itself. That9s why it9s important that these elements in Israel who are struggling against the Palestinian occupation and who refuse to support the war effort are supported by all of us.

(Note that I'm not explicitly talking about > object-oriented programming, a la Java or Smalltalk, but more about > viewing crypto protocols are transformations.) Category theory is nice, but would be nicer if could draw in information theoretic and cognitive metaphors. Maths is a programming language selected over time for execution on (perhaps slightly modified) human brains. The failure to recognize this deeply held anthropomorphism is excusable in other areas of mathematics, but not in foundational studies. Human beings look at the world through their own mental "axioms" which have evolved to understand the physical world and each other. These axioms must be chased down and stated instead of allowing them to subtly invade the mathematical process. For category theory, this failing likely evolved from its birth as a theory of mathematical classification as opposed to a theory of _origin_, although to be fair no foundational theory seems to be free of it. ... About 15 years ago category theory leaked into programming language design. See http://www.haskell.org/ and http://www.ocaml.org/ (yes, thats me) for the two major real-world-useful category theory inspired languages. OO programming is classification from above. Classification comes first and is then acts as (an often inconsistent and poorly realized) behavioral constraint. For category theory inspired languages, classification (types) are inferred from _behavior_. For these languages, behavioral inconsistency is discovered by the inability to come to consistent classification which describes it. -- Julian Assange|If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people |together to collect wood or assign them tasks and [EMAIL PROTECTED] |work, but rather teach them to long for the endless [EMAIL PROTECTED] |immensity of the sea. -- Antoine de Saint Exupery

Inferno: PBS Online | Commanding Heights (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 23:14:00 -0500 Subject: Inferno: PBS Online | Commanding Heights Very interesting review of global economics past, present and future: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/hi/index.html I caught the first episode tonight on WNET 13 and will likely follow the next segments due to some interesting insight. The discussion was rich w/ references to Keynes, labor, socialism, Hayek, Friedman, Thatcher and Reagan with a focus on economics with a geo-policitical perspective. Interesting line from the last quarter of the show: the truly progressive modern mind is actively pursuing ways to utilize the global markets to enable their social agendas and no longer focused on the restriction or destruction of the markets. Also Episode III looks quite interesting: The Rules of the New Game: With communism discredited, more and more nations harness their fortunes to the global free-market. China, Southeast Asia, India, Eastern Europe, and Latin America all compete to attract the developed world's investment capital, and tariff barriers fall. In the United States Republican and Democratic administrations both embrace unfettered globalization over the objections of organized labor. But as new technology and ideas drive profound economic change, unforeseen events unfold. A Mexican economic meltdown sends the Clinton administration scrambling. Internet-linked financial markets, unrestricted capital flows, and floating currencies drive levels of speculative investment that dwarf trade in actual goods and services. Fueled by electronic capital and a global workforce ready to adapt, entrepreneurs create multinational corporations with valuations greater than entire national economies. When huge pension funds go hunting higher returns in emerging markets, enterprise flourishes where poverty once ruled, but risk grows, too. In Thailand the huge reservoir of available capital proves first a blessing, then a curse. Soon all Asia is engulfed in an economic crisis, and financial contagion spreads throughout the world, until Wall Street itself is threatened. A single global market is now the central economic reality. As the force of its effects is felt, popular unease grows. Is the system just too complex to be controlled, or is it an insiders' game played at outsiders' expense? New centers of opposition to globalization form and the debate turns violent over who will rewrite the rules. Yet prosperity continues to spread with the expansion of trade, even as the gulf widens further between rich and poor. Imbalances too dangerous for the system to ignore now drive its stakeholders to devise new means to include the dispossessed lest, once again, terrorism and war destroy the stability of a deeply interconnected world.

My archived posts make it perfectly clear what I think about research and the first amendment.

out of the box
If we are talking of building cyberspace, we should talk of some of the things that should be done with it. Right now I think people think of games. I think of something a little different. Sort of a game. An everything bagel game. Let's assume we can build a geographically distibuted server with each nation, city or village, down to the plants in my back yard (growing), with a jump to where they came from (an OPTIONAL layer). That would be nodes layed on on a sphere and connected to nearest neighbors, with some long links. You know we can do this. It's not so hard with the right group of people. Each physical place has its own piece in the simulation; infinite subdivision subject to the rules of the space above it, with provisions for autonomous zones. In our diverse cultures, different rules apply in different locations. A lot of the differences we have occur when we butt up against each other and the ways that we are. A lack of understanding, a lack of common language hold us back. You don't need a language for people to play with each other. And I don't mean running around in corridoors, either. That's an adolesecent trip whos time is done. I mean Roger Rabbit's interactive math adventure. So, why not fix our little sickness through simulation ? It's a time honored technique for optimising and prototyping solutions to hard problems. Let the Israelis and the Palestinians have a go at building something in cyberspace first, but let the people do it. They have to live with it. In cyberspace, you get to visit another country, act like an asshole, and the locals choose what to do with you, in the nicest possible way, or in a way they'd be too nice to do RL. A full learning experience. It's like puppy training for humans, but without any of the unpleasant effects that a real-life version may have. A happy, loving place. Not a dark unpleasant place filled with pain and pursuit. Cyberspace here is not an escape from the real world, but a reflection of it. Someone in Uruguay should be able to visit virtual watts and see how well the tomatoes are doing. And, talk about it. Swap notes. Complain about the weather. Email was nice .. but .. really In Sweeden basic emotional education for all cuts social problems down to a minscule amount. And we don't need words to make a programming language with components what the whole world will be able to use to make real behaviors, so the world can internationalise basic applications itself.. There should be a basic science and mathematics curriculum for all, surpassing all languages, based on the manipulation of objects and the pure rules of mathematics we know. To start with, all the stuff which does not need english. It should be safe for children to play and learn with each other from one side of the planet to the other using secure cryptographic identities on the code they control, using crypted communications on which mom can snoop. When I say crypto, I mean strong crypto. Instead of fucking with the government, or whoever, lets think about using this stuff to develop deep cross-planet relationships - one of the things that will make us whole and solve this escalating 2000 year war problem we have going on. I for one am sick of it. It's a distraction from the real business at hand, which is getting the planet healthy and ready to participate at a galactic level. And, after all, locking someone out is very similar to locking someone in. You make sure you can that too. That's a temporary autonomous zone, for adults. A bubble in hyperspace. It's all just compositional crypto objects traversing a big graph. The stuff is developed symetrically, to account for the posibility of a con (ie, we're nice now, but get nasty later). There should be mollecular biology in shared space, tools for the design and visualisation of our sick little planet, environmental applications, layer apon layer apon layer. Infinite drill down. And you should be able to stand infront of the damn thing like a regular human being. Obsoleting the keyboard is possible with some of the things talked of here. I love my chair, but, enough. This is something for the world. What you get out of life is what you put in. And yeah, its a vision. But it can be done. M

While mighty US military think tanks prepare for Homeland defense against total cretins, I wonder if it's time for citizenry to hire professionals for the real defense. Not that I expect that talibanladens will be contracted any time soon again (the effects still hold full-strength), but there is always a chance that some fringe group will decide to strike, and those foreheadless monkeys in camouflage uniforms on airports present danger only to themselves.
