There were a number of interesting stories in today's Daily Texan that I thought I would round up here. First, EPIChas asked UT and other universities to not monitor student Internet traffic in order to limit file sharing. The headline is deceptive, since they're schools to limit monitoring, not file sharing itself. The story quotes RTF Lecturer Patrick Burkart, who I met last night at Prof. Downing's house, as coming out against monitoring for multimedia files, since it restricts academic freedom. Way to go, Patrick! Secondly, I was amused by these guys, Jim McKenna and John Lieberman , who have amassed 80,000 AOL CDs and plan to send them back to the evil empire. An interview with them ran on CNN this weekend, and I found it pretty amusing.
hey dude, that rules i fucking hate those aol cds and ive always wished i had a good idea of what to do with them if i ever cared to amass a lot (not that it would be hard). anyhow, completely unrelated to all this, i got a minidisc player the other day. it fucking rips! is that what you were using to record your records? rite now thats what im doing so i can stick the shit in storage and travel round in my prospector. yay!
