The Hunger Site is back under new ownership. Please tell everyone you know – From a high in December 2000 of 405 tonnes of food, donations are down to less than 100 tonnes for the coming month at this rate (presumably because everyone thinks they are still gone). Found via Follow Me Here

The FT argues that the Telecomms bubble is a bigger deal than the dotcom bubble. This figure surprised me – “nearly half of European bank lending in 1999 was to telecoms companies.” And Dan Roberts, the writer, estimates that a trillion dollars of the telecoms investment during the bubble was wasted…

And yet even with all of this investment in telecoms we still don’t all have the access to inexpensive broadband that would help to save what is left of the dotcom industry.al unsecured debt consolidation loanalabama debt consolidation loan unsecuredunsecured consolidation debt for alabama loanlink payday loan 22bad loan credit month personal 6advance 7 advance payday loan cashcredit loan 7 loan poor paydaypayday cash loan fax advancebusiness small america loans onecash american loan

Technology Review – Taming the Web A thought-provoking piece which shows the weaknesses in arguments made by ‘old skool’ Internet libertarians claiming the net is impossible to control.
For example – distributed apps tend to be inefficient unless they have some central servers (which can be targeted) and off-shore companies can still have their servers and assets in more regulated companies targeted (because small nations tend to have poor Internet access).
The author also says that hacking works for general computing but codes can be made secure in special-purpose hardware.

Salon reviews Together” (Tillsammans) I have seen this and found it to be excellent. It managed to be one of the top ten films in London for several weeks largely by word of mouth. It’s a warm Swedish film about life in a commune in the ’70s. As Stephanie Zacharek says, “Moodysson’s touch as a filmmaker isn’t cloyingly sensitive; it has the roughness of a mother cat’s tongue, tender and assertive at the same time.”aac mp3 toto mp3 aacaac mp3 toplayers mp3 2gbonline 777 com casino gambling2gb players mp3of a ringtones listcredits 2008 energy Map

Annoying telemarketer tricks no. 3287 (paraphrased):
“I am calling from x market research about a survey on home improvements you helped us with”
“I don’t think I did help you with it… what is it this time?”
“Because of your participation you’ve won a holiday”
“!”
“Seven days accommodation and return flight… [list of European countries]… booking fee of £37… [hmmm] sponsored by Glaze UK…”
“They would like to come around and present the holiday to you and at the same time give you a free no obligation quote on double glazing. When would you be free?”
“Never mind.” *sigh…
