"Superb," wrote Grady Harp of Los Angeles. "Fascinating ... addictive." Not to mention "profound." Such extravagance should have aroused suspicion, but I was too busy basking in the glow of a five-star rave to worry about the finer points of Harp's style. Sure, he'd spelled my name wrong, but hadn't he also judged me "a sensitive observer of human foibles"? Only when I noticed the "Top 10 Reviewer" tag did I wonder whether Grady Harp was more than just a satisfied customer. After a brief e-mail exchange, my publicist confirmed that she'd solicited Grady Harp's review. emmineb Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:02:05 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2015-steve-bannon/ It’s nearing midnight as Steve Bannon pushes past the bluegrass band in his living room and through a crowd of Republican congressmen, political operatives, and a few stray Duck Dynasty cast members. He’s trying to make his way back to the SiriusXM Patriot radio show, broadcasting live from a cramped corner of the 14-room townhouse he occupies a stone’s throw from the Supreme Court. It’s late February, the annual Conservative Political Action Conference is in full swing, and Bannon, as usual, is the whirlwind at the center of the action. emmineb Mon, 30 Jan 2017 11:38:57 GMT http://www.theanimereview.com/ emmineb Fri, 15 Jun 2007 18:40:09 GMT http://www.nybooks.com/articles/18998 An essay on il Buffone <italy> emmineb Fri, 02 Jun 2006 08:34:21 GMT http://www.animereviews.org/ emmineb Fri, 15 Jun 2007 18:40:31 GMT http://pressthink.org/2010/11/the-view-from-nowhere-questions-and-answers/ "American journalism is dumber than most journalists, who often share my sense of absurdity about these practices. A major reason we have a practice less intelligent than its practitioners is the prestige that the View from Nowhere still claims..." emmineb Thu, 08 Dec 2016 09:08:52 GMT http://www.toad.com/gnu/whatswrong.html Ron Rivest asked me, "I think it would be illuminating to hear your views on the differences between the Intel/IBM content-protection proposals and existing practices for content protection in the TV scrambling domain. The devil's advocate position against your position would be: if the customer is willing to buy extra, or special, hardware to allow him to view protected content, what is wrong with that?" First, I call it copy protection rather than content protection, because "content" is such a meaningless word. What the technology actually does is to deter copying. Such technologies have a long history in computing, starting with the first microcomputers, minicomputers, and workstations. Except in very small niches, all such systems ultimately failed.
