Ken Hagler's Radio WeblogPeople should not fear their governments; governments should fear their people.(Untitled)- June 12, 2006 It looks like I'll be moving over to a Movable Type weblog. Now I just have to somehow get the almost 4000 posts from this site moved over there.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/12.html#a3922 (Untitled)- June 8, 2006 Critics Fear Emergency Centers Could Be Used for Immigration Round-Ups. The military contractor that built the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and jails throughout Iraq has been tapped to construct facilities in the United States to be used in the event of "an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S." The contract has sparked wide speculation that massive prisons are going to be built to detain illegal immigrants or even U.S citizens, fears that government officials say are unfounded.

Everyone seems very happy that Abu Museb Al-Zarqaawi, the alleged and self-proclaimed leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, was killed in the U.S. missile strike sometime Wednesday. National Public Radio made this the big news of the morning, interviewing many Iraqis... By Charles Featherstone. LewRockwell.com Blog He's almost certainly right.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/08.html#a3920 (Untitled)- June 8, 2006 I've started to investigate the options for migrating this weblog to another system, such as Movable Type or Conversant. Radio is currently working for me (mostly), but I have had problems with it in the past, and support from UserLand is pretty much nonexistent. Also, I've used up two-thirds of the 40MB quota that comes with a Radio subscription, and when it eventually fills up I don't want to pay UserLand any more money for space when I've got over 4GB free on orange-road.com. My main...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/07.html#a3919 (Untitled)- June 7, 2006 While I was out buying lunch I saw a sign in the window of a haircut place advertising "digital perms." I guess that's for people with really hairy knuckles.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/07.html#a3918 (Untitled)- June 7, 2006 Silicon Valley Watcher reports that Craigslist is being blocked by Cox Interactive. "This situation does not look good in the context of the net neutrality debate. This is exactly the kind of scenario that many people are concerned about, that the cable companies and the telcos will make it difficult for their internet users to access competing services." Scripting News I'll bet Tor could get around blocks like this.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/07.html#a3917 (Untitled)- June 7, 2006 Looking back at Teddy Roosevelt. Alison Fish writes a retrospective.... John Robb's Weblog Predictably, the article goes on about what a great guy he was and cheers for the death tax. This sentence stands out: It was Republican President Teddy Roosevelt, after all, who introduced the idea of an inheritance tax in his speech The Man with the Muck-Rake, given exactly one hundred years, one month, and eleven days ago today. Blame for the idea of an inheritance tax should actually go to the...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/07.html#a3916 (Untitled)- June 6, 2006 Book Review. Excellent review at the P2P Foundation blog: Illicit: How Smugglers, Traffickers and Copycats are Hijacking the Global Economy by Moises Naim is a welcome and much-needed counter-balance and corrective to the unfortunate preponderance of Utopian doggeral saturating many accounts of... John Robb's Weblog The "counter-balance" is that globalization includes actual capitalism. The horror.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/06.html#a3915 (Untitled)- June 6, 2006 Terror in Toronto!!. The breathless early reports of Terrorism Just Barely Stopped in Canada emphasized that the Keystone Cops, northern division, foiled the plot by spying on the emails and internet chats of the Terrorists, so don't you dare oppose US spying. Now the whole stunt turns out to be entrapment. The cops came up with the plot, and lured some poor boobs into it, surely not to accelerate the Otherization of Muslims and the US colonization of Canada. Ah yes, internal security.

My first test was to search for the solution to an esoteric AppleScript problem which I had been trying to figure out via Google for several days without success. DEVONagent turned up exactly the information I was looking for almost immediately.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100205/2006/06/04.html#a3913 |
