If you break the word down into its parts, you'll see that that is exactly what it means. [Will Leshner's Radio Weblog] transcendental: from there you take a bite out of life! # 13:01  LinkLog      Asc Mo The Spurious Foundation of Genetic Engineering: "The wonders of genetic science are all founded on the discovery of the DNA double helix - by Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953 - and they proceed from the premise that this molecular structure is the exclusive agent of inheritance in all living things: in the kingdom of molecular genetics, the DNA gene is absolute monarch. Known to molecular biologists as the "central dogma" the premise assumes that an organism's genome - its total complement of DNA genes = should fully account for its characteristic assemblage of inherited traits. The premise, unhappily, is false. " ..perhaps leaving room for energetics and spirituality with its notion of 'the lifestream' to find its place in an integrated framework.  one which at the same time would shatter some of the notions we have about the role of technology and what/who/how god's actually working on the world today.  but lets stick with the inch provided by that article for today. :) # 03:31  LinkLog      Asc Mo Doc Searls' Rotten Linkage # 02:56  LinkLog      Asc Mo ...can you imagine dealing with the wetware that has been accumulating bugs over 50 to 60 years...? [Jumpgate Alwin] Actually, hasn't our genentic code been under development for millions of years? [Will Leshner's Radio Weblog] yeah sure our genetic code is just as likely to form itself around childhood misunderstandings as our brains do when learning to see the world for what it is.  with people you get 40 years suffering the same childhood mistake over and over on a routine basis.  genetic evolution must have had its quirks too, quirks that live in us..  but.. c'mon.. evolution has no mind for neuroses. # 02:46  LinkLog      Asc Mo Seven Tricks that Web Users Don't Know "Web developers have all sorts of browsing tricks that they have gained from years of experience, to the point where they can't even imagine not knowing them -- right-clicking to open a new browser window, for instance, or using the arrow keys to navigate a list. To Web veterans, these things are so familiar that they seem obvious. The fact that many people don't know these tricks -- and can get completely stuck as a result -- comes as a shock. This article describes seven Web site features that typical non-technical users aren't familiar with, based on data collected from the author's own usability studies." [via Dane Carlson's Weblog] Although this article is from last June, it's not a surprise to librarians. We see this first-hand, and we're the ones that are still teaching folks how to use a mouse, whether it's in a public, school, or special library. This is what I was getting at yesterday.

We were paranoid of everyone is the second part. The real problem here is that there's almost no incentive for companies to take this seriously. The cost of tracking down the culprit is higher than the cost of paying a little extra insurance to cover the losses. The cost to the individual whose identity gets stolen is almost never recovered.

That's why I'm stunned that so many kinds of sharing have suddenly, without public debate, become criminal acts. For instance, lending a book to a friend is still all right, but letting him read the same book electronically is now a theft.
