Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database
table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life.
What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated
with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it
will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun
way to find stuff.
During the street fair on the Main, last month, I got a good clear

Movable Thoughts #19 : CGIPath != mod_dir.c
A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server receives a
request for a URL http://servername/foo/dirname where dirname is a
directory. Directories require a trailing slash, so mod_dir issues a
redirect to http://servername/foo/dirname/.
We need to cement the consent that we meant?!

Brendan Scott : Copyright in a Frictionless World: Toward a
Rhetoric of Responsibility
"In this paper, the author reviews the history
and application of copyright and concludes that, although promoted as
being in the interests of authors, it is designed in such a way as to be
primarily a right which benefits distributors and publishers. The author
identifies a number of difficulties faced by distributors and publishers
in enforcing their rights in an age where the various sources of
"friction" which once limited infringement are being constantly reduced.
In particular, in the emerging frictionless world the typical targets of
the holder of a copyright monopoly (distributors pirating for profit) are
being overtaken by a new breed of target (individuals with a cost
reduction motive) and it is uneconomical for a holder of a copyright
monopoly to pursue this new breed. The author argues that recent
extensions to copyright monopolies add little to the illegality of the
infringing acts nor any stigma to the performance of those acts. Instead,
they exacerbate one of the main causes of infringement - consumer
cynicism as to the benefits to society of the copyright monopoly. The
author argues further that, rather than driving further cynicism through
more expansive rhetoric relating to rights, holders of a copyright
monopoly should instead seek to mollify consumer sentiment and encourage
compliance by emphasizing a rhetoric of responsibility in the exercise of
those rights."
