Mercury News | 03/23/2002 | Dan Gillmor: Bleak future looms if you don't take a stand I'm not a thief. I'm a customer. When you treat me like a thief, I won't be your customer. Tough guy.  Every cause needs an activist, but I can't help but giggle at the amount of energy this guy puts into his "protests".  Read this, it's good to know, good to be aware, good to have choices.  However, if I'm going to take a stand to prevent a bleak future, I might better served helping feed babies. Babies are better than computers. comment  10:47:43 AM

PEAR :: Manual: PEAR DB: a unified API for accessing SQL-databases: "This chapter describes how to use the PEAR database abstraction layer. " So...PHP, PEAR, etc.  What's that McAvoy kid up to now?  Last night I started exploring the very cool world of PEAR.  PEAR is to PHP as CPAN is to Perl.  While CPAN is old and stock full of good stuff, PEAR is new, and stock full of good stuff.  PEAR::DB acts just like Perl:DBI. So, for your reading pleasure, I present to you, the PEAR DB Manual.  Enjoy. comment  10:37:05 AM

Salon.com Technology | Playboy seeks "Women of Enron": "Playboy is hoping to entice some of the women who lost their shirts in the Enron scandal to reveal a little bit more. The magazine is putting together a "Women of Enron" pictorial and is inviting employees past and present to send snapshots of themselves in bikinis if they wish to pose. " I have no comment. I really need to get mcavoyrobot going again.  I'm just damn lazy I guess. comment  10:12:50 AM
