The Shifted Librarian: >>> "25 Books to Remember from 2001... I would have added Emergence by Steven Johnson, but it's still an interesting list. Once upon a time, I would have already read most of them, too." <<<

Check it out! I just realized Emergence (which I am currently reading) can be found on "TSL" reading list.  Cool - could this mean I'm a 'Shift' in process?

politechbot.com: CBDTPA bans everything from two-line BASIC programs to PCs: "The CBDTPA says that if I were to write and sell this BASIC program... 10 INPUT A$ 20 PRINT A$ ...after the regulations take effect, I would be guilty of a federal felony. That's up to five years in prison and up to a $500,000 fine. Distributing my two-line application without charging for it, either via handing out floppies or by posting it on a website would be at least a civil offense and, depending on the circumstances, a crime as well."

While I was sleeping, the Powers that be grew even more ignorant and narrow minded.  Time to wake up ....
