    Extractions: Illustration by Dugald Stermer hen 21st-century historians look back at the breakdown of the United States patent system, they will see a turning point in the case of Jeff Bezos and Amazon.com and their special invention: Not everyone who knows Bezos as the newly minted billionaire founder of the world's leading Internet retailer knows that he's also an inventor, but he is. It says so on U.S. Patent No. 5,960,411, "Method and system for placing a purchase order via a communications network." Every good invention needs a story, and Jeff Bezos has one for one-click ordering. He's laying it out in federal court, where, at the height of the holiday shopping season, he won an injunction forcing his chief competitor, Barnesandnoble.com, to add deliberate complication to its ordering process. In ways that could not have been predicted even a few years ago, the patent system is in crisis. A series of unplanned mutations have transformed patents into a positive threat to the digital economy. The patent office has grown entangled in philosophical confusion of its own making; it has become a ferocious generator of litigation; and many technologists believe that it has begun to choke the very innovation it was meant to nourish.

If men were not equal , they could neither understand each other and those who came before them nor plan for the future and foresee the needs of those who will come after them. If men were not distinct, each human being distinguished from any other who is, was, or will ever be, they would need neither speech nor action to make themselves understood. Signs and sounds to communicate immediate, identical needs and wants would be enough.

    Extractions: Posted on Wed Feb 20th, 2002 at 09:02:17 AM GMT "Human was the music, natural was the static." - John Updike One of my favorite books is Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick (1987). This detailed history of the development of new mathematical theories dealing with complex systems is quite readable and extremely informative. My 1991 paper back reprint has an index, a detailed reference list and lots of images including a color plate. The scope of this book is huge. I recommend it, if you are into science, art or nature. I've read it once from cover to cover and for a while I have been reading sections from here and there. How do chaos theories apply to information technology? Every computer is different, spread randomly geographically, while usage and connectivity varies, as do the user's skills and use function achieved. When I read messages about people tinkering with computers and working on coding, I understand its chaotic nature. I like the layer of complexity networking provides and how communication methods are constantly evolving. They way IT stumbles forward often with unknown, unpredictable results, is similiar to the unknown variances of a fractal images. To explore the visual world of fractals, mathematics and

    Extractions: Christopher Lydon Interviews... A Miracle Made Lyrical: Jim Gleick's Isaac Newton Alexander Pope's couplet gives me goosebumps: "Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night; God said: Let Newton be! and all was light." James Gleick's lean, lovely biography is a modern account of Newton's multiple breakthroughsand then some. Almost everything we know about apples and moons in motion and at rest, about time, space, gravity, inertia, differential and integral calculus, occurred to Isaac Newton in his early twenties, working in isolation through the London plague years of 1665 and 1666. Gleick 's great gift is making this not merely a lucid history of mathematical ideas but also a meditation on the utterly marvelous, a virtually unexplainable genius. In conversation Jim Gleick underlines the great paradox of Newton. Both medieval and modern, the father of the Enlightenment and modern rationalism was also a determined alchemist and an opinionated Unitarian Christian. Gleick's book rises to the challenge of that same paradox: it is wise science written with humility and awe. Listen in Posted by Christopher Lydon on 8/23/03; 6:24:11 PM -

Strategic Developer Aspects revisited To enforce a policy you simply declare it, and tools make it so without requiring the cooperation or even the knowledge of the programmers responsible for the affected classes. Core and periphery Successful evolution can't simply be a matter of choosing the right boundary because that's a moving target. Even at a given point in time, there are many ways to draw the "right" boundaries. Linux, for example, is a so-called monolithic system. It shunned the microkernel architecture that became fashionable years ago, yet it enjoys wild success. And while Windows and Mac OS X embrace the microkernel approach, nobody calls that the key to their success.
