Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Discovering YouTube
Here's an interesting book on the current state of copyrights: http://www.brandnamebullies.com/ I heard the writer interviewed the other day and agree with a lot of what he says.

A short life for copyrights and patents doesn't seem fair to me. If I build a house, I own it for life, and can pass it on to my heirs. But if I build a novel, song or widget, the public gets to use it for free after a while. I understand the argument for passing knowledge into the public domain, but still... We have a lot of knowledge workers here. How do you guys feel about it? I'm also a copyright holder and have been involved in software patents (drug kicking and screaming by the company I worked for). One of the things I learned from TM was that we probably don't actually create things but instead implement ideas that arise from the transcendent. I think that about 1000 people have the same idea at same time, 100 act on it, 10 actually finish and 1 gets to sell it. There was nothing wrong with the law the way it was. Remember that the ridiculous DMCA came about because Mickey Mouse was getting long in tooth and about to go out of copyright. Therefore it is a very Mickey Mouse law. Yahoo!

The computer guys on NPR were singing its praises again this week. Gotta agree. I just got converted to Firefox and the joys of Tabbed browsing yesterday. Whole new world. No more opening multiple browser windows for research purposes or to do cut and paste. Yeah this has been available on both Safari and Firefox (and others) for years now and it's just the easiest way to surf. I typically use a modified key: on my Wintel box I use the CTRL key so if if hold that down when I click a link, it automatically opens in a new tab. Same in Safari with the command key.A friend who is on the test team for MS internet explorer says the reason it has not been added sooner to MSIE was because MS's emphasis is on a "standards compliant" browser rather than one with lots of bells and whistles, therefore MSIE will always be more conservative compared to what's out there. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

I think the problem is that a lot of websites are created using Microsoft FrontPage, which creates proprietary, standards non-compliant HTML that will only display correctly in IE. That's interesting, I always wondered what the issue might be. Of course one of the annoying characteristics of the type of code put out by these programs is that it often seems large, bloated--not concise at all.

It also does away with a lot of implementation problems for the developer as well as support problems. You missed the key word kernel-level --as long as the libraries sit in the kernel, they're part of the OS and have all the privleges and power of the rest of the OS. No I didn't. That's what we asked MS for access to. But most of it is still in DLLs considered part of the kernel. There's nothing wrong with system-wide libraries, and MacOS X has several different kinds, but NONE of them, save the kernel itself, is in the kernel. The exception is the Sony CD protection which requires a reboot to install, and actually modifies the kernel in order to implement a rather nasty and dangerous copy protection scheme --dangerous because it acts just like the IE libraries that sit inside the Windows kernel.

I can't figure out how to navigate if you don't have a name. It all seems mixed together. Some of the home videos are really funny too but it is endless. I'll check out your finds later. I know I will not stop there, it is addictive! Use the search field up at the top, and use the drop-down menu next to it to select Playlists. If you type blues in the search field, you'll come up with hundreds of playlists with blues in the title. Click on any of them to see the videos on the playlist. Or you can type in the name of a performer and get a list of playlists containing videos of that performer. And if you click on a video, to the right there'll be a list of Related playlists, which will most likely contain more videos by the same performer. You can compile your own playlists by adding videos to your Favorites (you have to register to do this). You can make your playlists public, in which case they'll show up in a search, or private. The playlists are often idiosyncratic, so you still have to wade through a certain amount of stuff that isn't relevant, but the playlist categories really narrow down the field. On the other hand, the idiosyncrasies can involve treasures you wouldn't have thought to go looking for. The Blues playlists have a lot of really classic stuff. Here's Son House playing Death Letter Blues-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=enMcysS5ZYYsearch= Big Bill Broonzy-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=JIp7lnDOJ6g T-Bone Walker, Call Me When You Need Me-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=DWbB0Ei5r3U Muddy Waters, Got My Mojo Working, accompanied by Sonny Boy-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dlt9zRC6rnk Lightnin' Hopkins, Goin' Down Slow-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=723V2FFs82Y And so on. I took these more or less at random from one playlist of somebody calling himself jledbetter. Here's the URL of his playlist of over 100 videos, mostly blues: http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=jledbetter Then there are also Groups, which I haven't even explored yet; there's 32 Groups under the Blues heading.
