I'm sure I'll be writing more about what's in my
Bloglines
aggregator tomorrow as I just got home from three great days at the beach and have just enough time to throw down some dinner, read books to the kids and sink into my old familiar bed. But I'll tell you, if nothing else, I simply LOVE the fact that I asked for all of those messages. And if I don't want to keep getting them, I can unsubscribe. No Sobig virus to worry about. No requests from third generation African princes in exile. No promises of increased sexual prowess.

And when you spend your time breezily passing between houses, stopping to sit at the table outside on the deck (to enjoy a cup of coffee or an early evening glass of wine) you come home and realize how much of every day you pass indoors, trapped within walls, sheltered from the sun.

The recording industry has been strongly opposed to a statutory or compulsory license for digital music (not the Internet radio kind, but a reasonable kind that would enable the spread of digital content). They object that "the market" should set the rate for music, not a federal statute. (Of course, they have no hesitation appealing to the statutory rate for damages, as opposed to the ordinary market measure for damages, when it comes to a breach, but that's a separate matter).

Old School
I dropped my two sons off this morning for their second day of school. They go to a Catholic school, which is sometimes disorienting to me (the son of secular humanist public school educators). But given the state of Baltimore City primary and middle school education, it's less disorienting than the alternative might be. In fact, given that almost all of the teachers are certified laypeople (and not nuns), and the facilities are on par or above what kids at some county schools have, it's almost the only way in Baltimore to give my kids anything on par to what my public school educ

The U.S. Department of Justice has approved the Candover and Cinven acquisition of BertelsmannSpringer and its plan to merge the publisher with Kluwer Academic Publishers. This will create the world's second largest academic publisher, after Reed Elsevier. The European Union approved the plan in July, and US approval was the final obstacle. Library groups have opposed it on the ground that it will raise prices and limit competition. The deal will probably close on September 15.

thoughts on Bunner
So like bored guests at a dinner party, everyone seems keen to change my subjects. (If I believed in smileys I'd insert one here, but I don't.) So ok, let's talk about what YOU want to talk about. As you likely know, the Supreme Court of California has held that a preliminary injunction in a trade secret case does not necessarily violate the first Amendment. The decision was in the context of deCSS code that enabled the decryption of CSS protections for DVDs. The opinion is

A glossary-like entry to try to "nail down" three ephemeral ideas mentioned in my entry
Overstepping Our Bounds

Bounds: a way of saying behind a wall of habituated seeing, doing and routines. The wall prevents seeing. The self-system is reduced to scanning for "significant" stimuli. Significant stimuli= those that initiate present routines.
Grasping: derived from Buddhist notion of constant grasping out of fear, out of insatiability. Graspingness at the center of various of the "sins", but in this context I am refer

In this case: "Mr Holland's idea is that a conscious robot would have to build up internal models - one for the 'self' of the robot and another for the world around it.
