Worrying about phrases again - left wing and right wing... The 1789 French National Assembly seated the First Estate on the right side of the chamber in the place of honor. The Third Estate was seated on the left. Guess which group the revolutionaries came from... 6:03:53 AM     Another historical note ... What was the last significant US offensive involving a ground urban offensive? (hint - lunar new year and an ancient royal capital) 6:03:25 AM     There is something special about QuickTime VR panoramas. Here are a few nice ones. It is difficult to create nice pieces that are reasonably small, but this photographer has done a fine job. Be sure and take the link for more vr's ... 6:03:10 AM     If you are using OS X there is no reason to use Explorer as a browser as at least two browers (some would say three or four) are seriously better. Giles Turnbull offers a comparison of Safari and Chimera - er Camino... 6:02:34 AM     DCMA is bad joke, amazingly it could get worse... For example, what if it banned technologies that conceal from a communication service provider ... the existence or place of origin or destination of any communication? Encrypt your email? volation! Use NAT (network address translation) - violation again! Massachusetts, Texas, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alaska, Tennessee and Colorado are apparently thinking about such legistation. When I first heard about this a month ago I thought it was a joke. Unfortunately state legislatures are often less clueful than Congress. 6:02:12 AM
