The Chronicle: 5/2/2003: The Neoconservative-Conspiracy Theory: Pure Myth is a good summary of one of the most pervasive recent conspiracy theories:
The ruins of Saddam Hussein’s shattered tyranny may provide additional evidence of chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, but one poisonous by-product has already begun to seep from under the rubble. It is [...]

It’s already received wisdom that the right way to build an enterprise WiFi network is with a small number of smart switches and a large number of dumb (and cheap) access points that do little more than act as remote radios for the switch. Symbol pioneered the concept, and now everybody else (especially switch [...]

Speaking of people who like to play God, Tim O’Reilly’s bizarre ETech conference is drawing heat from diverse corners of the Blogosphere. As I pointed out, the Warblogging panel excluded actual warbloggers, an observation that’s also been made by Jason Kottke, Glenn Reynolds, and Bill Quick. Brian Carnell takes it step further and notes in [...]
An off-hand post on the demise of the idiotic Mr. Sterling show continues to generate heat from Sterling’s disappointed minions (45 messages so far), many of whom think I have to power to dictate NBC’s programming schedule.
