  “As part of the campaign to target those responsible for the ongoing destruction of core civil liberties and the endless expansion of America’s lawless surveillance state, we have a full-page ad in the “A” Section of this morning’s Washington Post, the purpose of which is to serve as a final argument directed to the Beltway class, a clear statement of exactly what it is that they are really about to do this week”

  “Just consider how remarkable that is. George Bush’s own Press Secretary criticizes the American media for being “too deferential” to the Government.

• Walnut/Distributed Computing - Erights #

  “Multiple threads form the basis of conventional models of concurrent programming. Remarkably, human beings engage in concurrent distributed computing every day even though people are generally single threaded.

Why do we not see groups of people, deadlocked in frozen tableau around the coffepot, one person holding the sugar waiting for milk, the other holding milk waiting for sugar? The answer is, we use a sophisticated computational mechanism known as a nonblocking promise.”

  “Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is developed by artists and designers as an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.”
