What cause did he die for? I don't know. And I don't believe it was a non-violent protest. I was on the other side of the barricade in Davos &lt;a href=&quot;http://scriptingnews.userland.com/stories/storyReader$187&quot;&gt;last year&lt;/a&gt;, in a much more controllable environment. Davos is hard to reach if the Swiss don't want you there. Even with just a few hundred protestors, there was violence, and it came from the protestors. I saw it with my own eyes. The police were scary, but they were on the defensive. Every day &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/middle_east/newsid_1449000/1449559.stm&quot;&gt;people die&lt;/a&gt; in Israel, and it's not big news, and I know the issues, the causes they're dying for, at least at some level. After looking for a couple of years for a summary of the issues the protestors are fighting for, I'm still coming up empty. What is it that they want? I have trouble understanding the death of the protestor without knowing what he died for. The protestors, whoever they are, whatever they're protesting, now have a martyr, and that sucks, because someone died, and it's going to get even more confusing for sure. "/>

		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://jarretthousenorth.editthispage.com/2001/07/19&quot;&gt;Tim Jarrett&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;HTML allowed people to share information easily and enabled people to get connected to each other on the Internet. Just as HTML described how to allow people to access information in an intuitive, graphical way, so XML-RPC describes how to allow different computer programs to talk to each other across the Internet. It's scalable and robust, it's an emerging standard. And Apple is baking it into the OS at a very low level.&quot;"/>

Its use of docked panes is somewhat reminiscent of the style of [You-Know-Who] Visual Studio, but the dominant metaphor is of a Web browser.&quot;"/>

The worm could also help attackers identify infected computers and gain control of them.&quot; &lt;i&gt;We run Frontier and Apache at UserLand.&lt;/i&gt;"/>

		<outline text="Speaking of moose, I had a friend a long time ago who was very tall and skinny, so I gave him a funny nickname, Moose. He was anything but a moose. Another long-lost friend, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=ray+coop&quot;&gt;Ray Coop&lt;/a&gt;, and I used to have a routine about Moose. I'd ask &quot;Have you heard from Moose lately?&quot; Ray would say &quot;Yes, and he says you owe him money.&quot; So I wonder what became of Ray Coop. I &lt;i&gt;don't&lt;/i&gt; want to know what happened with Moose. "/>

In the early days of the Macintosh there was a system extension called The Talking Moose. It was a great little thing, it would pop up at random times and using the speech capabilities of the early Mac (kind of like You-Know-Who's Paper Clip), and say something pithy about what you're doing. It was &lt;i&gt;soooo&lt;/i&gt; insightful. So I did a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=talking+moose&quot;&gt;search&lt;/a&gt;, and quickly found that it has been &lt;a href=&quot;http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10238-108-39244.html?tag=st.dl.10238.upd.10238-108-39244&quot;&gt;resurrected&lt;/a&gt; by some guy named Uli. This is The Killer App for Mac OS X. No doubt in my mind. I will buy a new Mac to run this software, if it really works, and if they make it read XML over the Internet to program the phrase file. (Uli could use the new system-level SOAP &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2001/07/18/appleOnBoard&quot;&gt;capability&lt;/a&gt; of Mac OS X.)"/>

		<outline text="BTW, it's great to have a working telephone, but it turns out that the repair guy from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pacbell.com&quot;&gt;PacBell&lt;/a&gt; who broke the phone yesterday also gave me some other person's business card. A friend called him yesterday when I published (briefly) the phone number on Scripting News. Let me repeat that so it sinks in. He gave me someone else's business card! Wow."/>
		<outline text="I got my new cellphone today, and at the same time I got a working scanner. The first thing I scanned was a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/firstIdeaProcessor.jpg&quot;&gt;NY Times review of ThinkTank&lt;/a&gt; from 1983. Hey it's legible."/>
