Closure on nuance In other terror news, the government issued a warning to the airlines this week about terrorist attacks on commercial aircraft being planned before the end of the summer. Al-Qaida has apparently sized up the new security measures put into place by Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta and has discovered some areas of vulnerability. Among the weaknesses the terrorists hope to exploit is the fact that airlines are prohibited from looking for Arab terrorists. 8:31:11 PM    comment []

Gay School Opens in NYC. November 27 1978, Harvey Milk, a pioneering gay activist, is murdered in San Francisco City Hall. September 2003, America's first publicly1 run high school exclusively for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) students will open in New York City - called the Harvey Milk School. It has been a program running for two decades, but this news marks it's expansion into a proper stand-alone high school. However, the development has not come without controversy and criticism.

Maybe all kids who wear glasses should have special schools. It's ridiculous." 11:04:50 AM    comment []

My Mac: A Slow-Motion Train Wreck. I'm getting closer to a total software reinstallation on my five-month-old Mac Powerbook, which annoys me no end. One application... [Dan Gillmor's eJournal] but...but...how can this be?  I thought only Windows was flawed.  Put any name you want on it.  You can call it Ray or you can call it Jay and its still just ones and zeros. You realize this is a first Dan?  In all my years of following the ups and downs of operating systems this is the first time I have ever seen a public admission from a MAC/Apple user of a possible reinstall in the offing!  Actually .... I believe it is an unwritten law that MAC and Linux users are not allowed to speak of such things in public. 10:53:38 AM    comment []
