The Right DMCA Move -- EFF and 2600 Drop Suit
The DMCA is an overwrought, overly burdensome, ill-conceived piece of protectionist legislation -- one that suffers the fundamental flaw of attempting to regulate specific technologies rather than behaviors. But this is the right move. 2600's reputation and public persona would have doomed the case.
Mainstream America and organizations need to vote with their pocketbooks, and need to inform their legislators that the Internet is not about business opportunities for Hollywood. 2600 and EFF have fired the first shots, but they can't win the war. It's time for the rest of us to step up.

WiFi at Little Airports
I'm in the Lincoln, NE airport. Why can't they put WiFi (who calls it "wiffy"?) in little airports? Can't be that hard. All the business-user bandwidth hogs would clog it up in a big airpot, but there are only two gates in LNK (can you geuss what they're called?) and only a handful of people sitting here with laptops. We could easily share a DSL or cable line. What about some warchalking at regional airports? Does the FAA really think 802.11 will bring down the flight line? It can't be any worse than cell phones.
