[From the Desktop of Dane Carlson] (Very funny Dane! ) 3:33:22 PM     Dan Gilmore got the cold shoulder: Here is his story. And below are some bOing notes. BPDG conspirators freeze out Dan Gillmor. Dan Gillmor, the journalist/blogger who won this year's EFF Pioneer Award, has tried to join the Broadcast Protection Discussion Group mailing list. The BPDG, a nominally "public" group that's writing a law that will neuter the personal computer, turned him down. Viewers -- customers -- are not parties, naturally. And the press is specifically unwelcome to watch the deliberations. I asked to be subscribed to the group's mailing list and got a kiss-off. Remember, you can (and should!) sign up for the BPDG mailing lists (providing, of course, that you're not with the free press) and voice your objections as the group proceeds to neuter the technology industry, eliminate your fair-use freedoms, curtail innovation and outlaw free and open-source software.

A patent watchdog group discovers that the University of Missouri holds a U.S. patent not only on cloning technology, but on any product of the process -- including, potentially, a human being. By Kristen Philipkoski. [Wired News] 2:04:05 PM     GARBO is coooooool.   [Scripting News] 2:02:21 PM     Let's Start at the Very Beginning: System.Object and Garbage Collection. In the .NET Framework, all objects are derived, directly or indirectly, from a common base class: System.Object. Remember that inheritance/derivation tell us that the derived class IS-A specialized version of the base class. That means every object in the .NET Framework IS-A(n) Object and therefore implements all of the functionality of System.Object. In other words, the methods of System.Object are available in any .NET Framework object. Article. May 17, 2002. Dr.GUI (.NET) hits it. Yes, start here, not in some C# book.
