United Breaks Guitars
Copied from the info:
There is now a video response: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_X-Qoh__mw
Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story/united-breaks-guitars - In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll . Video Produced by Curve Productions of Halifax, http://www.curveproductionsinc.com.

Sharing the road with trucks: from Texas Driver's Handbook
Page 9-10 has some words on maneuverability, from professional truck drivers:
Trucks are designed to carry many products to and from towns and cities [...] Staying in the middle lane also increases the truck drivers options if he or she has toswitch lanes in order to avoid a dangerous situation or a crash.
(from the October 2008 revision) What do you think?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by dnjake: A big reason that open source has a limited audience is that open source developers typically don't want to make the effort to support the full range of user needs.[/QUOTE] While I agree that Microsoft is correct in continuing to support IE 6, I must disagree with dnjake. I believe dnjake is talking about device driver problem in GNU/Linux. I am pretty sure that Microsoft would have a hard time to write device drivers for all devices out there if it had to do so without any assistance from the device manufacturers (and sometimes threat of litigation to top that). I don't agree that open source developers do not want to make the effort. The task at hand is enormous and writing device drivers is usually a thankless job. In case of the free software movement, it is also an unpaid job.

Microsoft wins patent on XML (Ars Technica)
John Timmer writes for Ars Technica (article link): "At the same time that Microsoft was pushing for the adoption of an XML-based file format for documents, it had a patent pending that would cover most uses of XML for word processing files."
One of the reader, Doornail commented on the issue in reply to the Ars Technica article saying: "Everyone at the USPTO needs to be neutered, fired, the buildings burnt to the ground and the soil salted. This is beyond paint-chip munching stupid."
Why is the anger directed at USPTO and not at Microsoft? Well, the answer is that it is the responsibility of USPTO to examine patent applications. Microsoft's actions are designed to protect Microsoft's interests.
One argument is that software patents are not good for anyone, except for squatters. For the hundreds of thousands of patents that Microsoft owns, there could be five held by a squatter that would make it impossible (or prohibitively expensive) to implement an efficient solution.
For more on software patents, please read this extensive article on Wikipedia: Software patent debate
For a completely(?) unrelated rant, please continue reading:
Microsoft is a for-profit business entity that needs to protect itself, by any means possible. When Microsoft tried to embrace, extend, and ... PDF with built-in capabilities in Office 11 (officially 2007 Microsoft Office System according to Wikipedia), Adobe cried foul. Adobe wanted to make sure that a third-party vendor could not dictate the implementation of the portable document format. Of course, Microsoft did not see it that way with Brian Jones writing a blog post calling Adobe PDF "actually not open". As a comment to the Brian Jones blog post notes from an official Adobe document: "[...] Adobe’s intention is to maintain the integrity ofthe Portable Document Format standard. [...]" (page seven in the document in the link to Adobe's document, which is of course formatted in PDF).

Fear of red and plagiarism allegations - Nature news (may require subscription)
Fear of red: learned or hard-wired?
An article on Nature website (link) from July 31 quotes an Australian research team which has recently concluded that the fear of red in flinches may be hard-wired as instincts rather than learned during their upbringing. Robert Barton, an anthropologist at the University of Durham, UK is quoted as saying that the greater issue of "whether fear of red is innate or learned is an "unresolved mystery"". Read more at the Nature website (see link above).
