Who who knew that they've already been fired once before, on April Fools Day, 1998 at a Massachusettes station in Boston when they announced Mayor Thomas M. Menino was killed in a car crash So now the Dept. of Justice is gonna be prosecuting all those college kids who have been downloading music through peer-to-peer networks. I want to know what length of prison term Jamie can look forward to. Despite the fact that we have a sad little dial-up connection, Jamie has managed to download more music than most people ever hear in a lifetime. Props to Radley for alerting me Southwest has decided to kick the big dogs now that they are down . In a very smart move they have decided to take advantage of the inability of the big guys to cut prices and do just that. They are also getting into the long-distance market. Washingtonians can look forward to non-stop service from BWI to Los Angeles on new 737s. The unrestricted walk-up fares on longer flights have been cut from $399 to $299 one way. The idea is to move into the business-traveler market. I'm willing to bet that once the fat starts getting trimmed from the airline industry we'll see anti-trust suits coming out against Southwest. Isn't that the pattern that we have established? Do well in an industry, redefine it and shut down the inefficient competitors and get sued for anti-trust violations.

Denn noch zu oft wird im elektronischen Dokument das Papierdokument auch in den Elementen "nachgebildet", die die elektronische Nutzung eher einschränken bzw. so nicht zutreffen. Denn medientypische Regeln und über Jahrhunderte herausgebildete klare Prinzipien wie beim "traditionellen" Medium Papier existieren in diesem neuen Medium so gut wie noch nicht. Ganz im Gegenteil - der Charakter und die optimalen Gestaltungselemente von elektronischen bzw. speziell Web-Dokumenten sind noch sehr unklar und somit ergibt sich ein weites Experimentierfeld, daß nicht nur den - oft damit betrauten - EDV-Technikern überlassen werden darf, sondern von den Anwendern selbst übernommen werden sollte.

Extractions: IAWA Special Collections University Libraries CAUS ... Virginia Tech Table of Contents Wena Dows was born in the California Central Valley on April 1, 1928. She decided to go to the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) because that is where all her family went. However, she decided NOT to study architecture because her older sister had studied architecture. Wena decided to study mathematics instead. After a couple of years she realized that she did not want to be a mathematician, so she started casting about other departments at UCB. She took Architecture 1, and, in Wena's words, "This is work? This is FUN!" She transferred to architecture, doubled-up on her course load, took one extra year to complete her studies, and graduated in 1950 with a bachelor degree in architecture. She married after graduation, just as one was supposed to do back then. She worked four years for an architect and consulting engineer while her husband finished his Ph.D. She bore three children, and then gradually began her practice. From 1957 her children and her practice grew until it was, "Super Full-Time." As an architect, Wena has never lost her feeling of gratification and excitement to see her creations grow into three dimensional reality. She prefers small buildings to large ones because people who live and work in small buildings are grateful for whatever she can do to make their lives better. Wena is sensitive to her clients, and she always listens to them. "I don't have a style. I just try to do what I do well," she says.

Extractions: By Heidi Yacker At the federal level: Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Co. Non-creative database producers argue that they need protection from this "piracy" of their work. Vast technological improvements have made copying information much easier. For example, in 1991 it took 6 months to download an average database; it now takes 2 minutes. Producers feel they need protections to encourage database development and to close the gaps created by the courts. They also argue that the European Union, which provides protection for non-creative European databases, will extend this protection to U.S. databases only if a comparable law is passed here. Some recognize the importance of protections but don't want them to be overly restrictive. These include compilers many of which are small businesses of "transformative" of "value-added" databases that take information from one database and combine it with other material to form a new database. For example, a database compiler might extract information from a directory of diseases that is marketed to doctors and create a directory of children's diseases to market to parents. Overly restrictive legislation could also have a negative impact on research activities and could contribute to increased costs in accessing databases.
