Don't worry Hock, your Phatmaster drawing on my blackboard lives on... |

Oh, to be a college student again! |

Yes, the current visual appearance is extremely provisional. I made it do scribble letters for now, which should be a bit better; soon you'll be able to pick your tile set. |

I have beat all the levels on hardcore but have only beat a few on Nightmare. they are pretty hard for me but i keep practicing! |

Tom, played some Muddle with a friend of mine. We both had the same complain, the font size for the board is too small. Perhaps this is just a problem with IE on Macs? Are you planning on using images for the letters later? |
| |
ha. it is not evil. boggle is also good, though. mmm . . . though we never found a six letter word on that one board . . . |
| |
Certain lawyers could do with bits embedded in them. Sharp, pointy ones. See how they like it... |
| |
Muddle is evil! Evil, I tell you!
I would explain further, but first I must gather more evidence. |
| |
muddle is good. ignore any objections by jcreed. |
| |
|
|
| |
Tom, I love Muddle. Great idea. This message must be short, because I need to return to Muddle. |

<i>Notice, furthermore, given that (just to name two), the "Arial" and "Times New Roman" TrueType fonts are close copies of Mergentaler's "Helvetica" and "Times" typefaces (which would have had to have been created by reverse-engineering the latter, something that is clearly illegal under the DMCA), why shouldn't the DMCA be used to prosecute Apple and Microsoft for patent and copyright infringement? </i><br><br>
The odd thing is, that <b>both</b> Times and Times New Roman are included in the standard system software for Macintosh, which I assume means that Apple has paid a distribution license. So are Arial and Helvetica. I'm not familiar with the "politics" of how/why TNR and Arial were created, but if it was to try to get around copyright, it seems a bit silly for Apple to include both them and their "inspirations" as well (unless people just <i>liked</i> them..) |

Hello,
I just finished reading the article on Slashdot concerning the Content Protection Status Report recently submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee recommending, among other things, requiring all analog to digital converters to be equipped to detect copyright watermarks in analog media. I propose the formation (under the official auspecies of the ACM or otherwise) of a nationwide ACM Student Digital Freedom Initiative to mobilize grassroots awareness and support against such actions by the media companies and Congress. I have sent the following message to Dr. Rob Kling, faculty advisor to the Indiana University Bloomington Student Chapter of the ACM:
"I have just finished reading a very disturbing article by the EFF
concerning the "Content Protection Status Report" which the MPAA filed
last month with the Senate Judiciary Committee calling for legal
regulation of analog to digital converters - specifically suggesting
that "in order to help plug the hole, watermark detectors would be
required in all devices that perform analog to digital conversions. In
such devices (e.g., PC video capture cards), the role of the watermark
detector would be to detect the watermark and ensure that the device
responds appropriately." This is a quote from the Status Report, which
can be found at
http://judiciary.senate.gov/special/content_protection.pdf . This
report comes on the heels of Senator Ernest "Fritz" Hollings' Draconian
"Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act", a renamed
version of his SSSCA bill requiring copyright protection mechanisms be
built into practically all digital technology.
As many people on Slashdot pointed out, this is a totally impractical
"solution" as ADC's are components in so many technologies we take for
granted today, from cell phones to hearing aids to fuel-injection
systems. It could quite possibly dramatically drive up the cost of any
number of digital devices, as well as severly endangering such pursuits
as building your own PC from parts or studying electrical engineering
(it's true that the law would probably have a statutory requirement for
a "fair use" exception, but this did not stop Edward Felten and Tom
Murphy from being threatened under the DMCA. Felton is a Princeton
professor who was threatened regarding his academic work for his
academic work regarding the Secure Digital Music Initiative. Tom Murphy
is a Carnegie Mellon University student who wrote a program to flip the
embedding bit of TrueType fonts and si currently being legally
threatened by Agfa Monotype - see
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/01/2026234&mode=thread&tid=103
for a discussion and http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~twm/embed/dmca.html for
details of his correspondence with Agfa's lawyers.
The Content Protection Status Report calls for the Broadcast
Protection Discussion Group to be able to ban the production of digital
television devices that had not been approved by three Hollywood
studios. The ACM has publicly stated that it is opposed to the CBDTPA
(http://www.acm.org/membernet/stories/cbdtpa.html) I would like the
Indiana University ACM chapter to begin a movement to mobilize
grassroots university opposition the continuing efforts of the content
industries to unduly restrict digital freedoms, efforts which could be
seriously questioned on Consitutional grounds, and possible on
anti-trust grounds as well. For this purpose, I am proposing a first
meeting of the ACM Student Digital Freedom Initiative. Please respond
to me with your throughts on such a meeting. I will also be contacting
Tom Murphy concerning this proposal, to try to raise support at CMU."
I would like your feedback about arranging a similar meeting at CMU.
Thank You,
Jim Witte

How large are they? I need some plexiglass to go at the bottom of a wrought iron fence. I live in the desert and need to keep the critters out of my yard. |
