25. February, 2003 - Point-Oh releases suck
- Lights, camera, distraction. Apparently iMovie 3 isn’t quite up to snuff yet. At least if you’re putting together anything longer than a music video. Since I work in software development, that doesn’t really surprise me. Products ship as X.0 all the time without actually being ready to ship. It’s the reality of the software world today, and until customers quit paying for X.0 versions and waiting for the X.1 version that actually fixes bugs, there’s no reason for software vendors to quit shipping buggy software. The problem is made worse by reviewers who simply offer a checklist of the new features without mentioning whether or not those features actually work (which would require a more in-depth review).

- The Gun Protest Ban Against Dr. Edward Hudson. An update on Canada’s war on guns. They’re using some fairly harsh tactics against the people who aren’t complying, but it’s about the kind of stuff I expected. Tyranny isn’t pretty. [endwar]
- Here’s a good collection of pictures of War Protests Around the World from 2⁄15. [Jim]
- Photos put peace marchers at 65,000 in San Francisco. Accurate numbers for protests like this are notoriously hard to get, but by putting together information from photos and counts of people who got on and off at the Bart stations nearest the protests, it sure looks like the numbers were about 1⁄3 what was initially reported.
- Mean Mr. Mustard has some thoughts on Human Shields who are going to Iraq. [some guy]
- In Rome wasn’t built in a day, Colby Cosh explores why going to war is justified.
We no longer have the luxury, certainly, of waiting for hussars to mass on the border. And so we plunge into the dilemma thus presented.
Go read it. It’s long, but worth the time spent.
- Finally, check out The horror of blimps over at the Straight Dope Message Boards. Don’t have liquids in your mouth that might come out your nose. Beware of things that go blimp in the night. [flutterby]
