No other details\nwere immediately available.\nThe man had demanded talks with high government officials, the Interfax and\nITAR-Tass news agencies said. Ekho Moskvy radio reported that he wanted to\ntalk with Russian President Vladimir Putin.\nPolice and security forces rushed to the Security Service building, within\nblocks of the Kremlin, Red Square and the Bolshoi Ballet, and surrounded the\nman, who claimed to have one and a half tons of explosives, the news\nagencies said. Negotiations continued for about one and a half hours outside\nthe building, ITAR-Tass and Interfax reported, citing witnesses.\nThe man later drove away from the building, under police escort, and drove\nto a street near Moscow's Olympic Penta Hotel, where authorities held\nfurther negotiations with him, the Moscow police press service said. The\nmove appeared to be an attempt by security services to get him to a more\nsecure location. \n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

It's a pretty basic \nbrowser feature that has been missing from Navigator for years. Even simplified \nbrowsers like Chimera have this feature. Neil did some excellent work in 22056 \nand his code finally landed. It naturally spiked startup time and window time \nslightly, and so it ended up being backed out because of Mozilla's no tolerance \npolicy for regressions.\n\nWhile this \"line in the sand\" policy is in many ways a good one, I feel like it \nmisses the point. There is a natural tendency when designing applications to \nadd features in every new version of the software. Only rarely do you see \nfeatures removed. With each passing version, you get more and more bloated, \nrelying on faster machines and more memory to save the day. Who cares if the \nuser interface is now full of 3000 menu items? You still support every last \nfeature since version 1.0, so no customers can possibly be dissatisfied!\n\nYou can really only cram so many features into a product before its size \nrequirements and performance requirements have to change. This is an obvious \nrule. It's like you start with an empty elevator that says \"Capacity: 10 \npeople.\" The elevator stops at the first floor (version 1.0) and a bunch of \npeople (features) get on. Continuing on its journey, the elevator stops at the \nsecond floor, and still more people get on. The elevator is now full, and it \ncontinues to the third floor (version 3.0). Unfortunately the elevator is full, \nbut there are a bunch of people waiting at the third floor to get on. Some of \nthem squeeze in anyway, past the fat person from the first floor (the Mozilla \nsidebar feature) who is taking up enough space for 3 people. Everyone wishes \nhe'd get off at the third floor or even the fourth floor, but he doesn't. \nSomeone (the Mozilla wallet feature) from the second floor cuts one on the way \nto the third floor, so he's useless, and everyone wishes he'd get off too. He \ndoesn't though. Nobody does. People keep piling in at floor after floor, until \neventually the elevator support cable snaps and everybody dies.\n\nWe need to forcibly eject people from the elevator. Remove the features that \nnobody wants and replace them with the features that matter. Cull out the \nfeatures that didn't work in Mozilla 1.0 and make sure they aren't there in \nMozilla 2.0. Make more of the features optional plugins so that geeks who want \nsome of the more obscure features (and that have powerhouse machines) can go \ndownload them on their own. Only if we actively fight the trend towards bloat \nwill we finally produce an awesome Mozilla browser.\n\n\n" |

| easy_ham | "URL: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/news/20020912.html\nDate: Not supplied\n\nWe're trying to decide if FogBUGZ[1] 3.0 should support custom fields. \nHistorically, I am opposed to custom fields in principle, because they get \nabused. People add so many fields to their bug databases to capture everything \nthey think might be important that entering a bug is like applying to Harvard. \nEnd result: people don't enter bugs, which is much, much worse than not \ncapturing all that information. You can always \"page fault\" to get the \ninformation if the original report forgot it. Rather than having a field in \nevery bug where you enter the version numbers of every DLL on your machine \n(this is an actual customer request), information which is likely to be \nrelevant only for a tiny percentage of bugs, why not just have the \nprogrammer-assignee look at the bug first, and if they think it might be \ndll-version-related, only _then_ bounce the bug back to the originator asking \nfor the DLL info? Similarly, it's always tempting to add a field in which you \nask for the OS version in which the bug occurred. This sounds logical, but \ntrust me: adding fields like this is guaranteed to do one thing and one thing \nonly: reduce the number of bug reports that get into the system in the first \nplace. Only a small percentage of bugs are really OS dependant and you can \nalways include that info in the text description of the bug if it happens to be \nrelevant. (But then how do you search for, say, all bugs which only happen on \nWindows 98SE? Aha! You can't. Ever. Even with the custom field. Because not \nevery bug has been regressed on every version of every operating system, so \nthis search doesn't make sense in the first place. The info wasn't captured. Do \na full text search for 98SE and you'll find some of them. Life is imperfect.) \n\nLife would be more perfect if every bug report included megabytes of \ninformation -- a complete dump of every byte on the hard drive and in RAM on \nthe computer in question and while you're at it, a photograph of the tester's \nworkspace. But the goal of a bug tracking database is to _keep track of bugs_, \nwhich, all else being equal, takes priority over making it easy to find them. I \nhave heard countless stories of development teams where the bug tracking \npackage was so high-ceremony that people were afraid to enter bugs in the \nsystem, because they didn't know what all those fields were. The _real_ \nbug-\"tracking\" happened in email, post-its, and hallway conversations. Great. \n\nA pretty common question we get on the customer service line is, \"does \nFogBUGZ support custom fields?\" Rather than giving our usual answer (\"no. on \npurpose.\") over the last few weeks I've been saying, \"can you please tell me \nwhat fields you would need? We're trying to decide whether to implement that \nfeature in 3.0 and we want to know why people need it.\" The interesting thing \nis, almost all of the fields people ask for _are already in FogBUGZ,_ and the \nother ones, in my educated opinion, shouldn't be fields. And in fact, our \nexisting customers are certainly happy without custom fields. One of our \nbiggest site licenses was sold to a semiconductor company, and I myself wanted \nto add a custom field for them to keep track of versions of the circuit design, \nbut I didn't, and they never needed it (even though they had been keeping track \nof it with the old bug tracking package which had custom fields), and they are \nhappy and keep buying more site licenses. \n\nBut the dilemma for us is that many customers are evaluating bug tracking \nsoftware and they consider the lack of custom fields to be a major weakness in \nour product. \"Gosh, even Filemaker has custom fields.\" Righto. It's true. And \nwho am I to tell my customers they are wrong? One person who I was talking to \nyesterday would have used a custom field for something that we already have a \nbuilt-in field for. This would have made their database confusing and \ninconsistent and would have definitely caused more problems than it solved. But \nit's still rude of me to tell customers that we don't have that feature _for \ntheir own good_, even though it usually is, and we're losing some sales because \nof it. \n\nSigh. I guess we could have a custom fields feature but hide it and make it so \nhard to use that people don't use it. At least we won't lose any sales :)\n\n[1] http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBUGZ\n\n\n" |

The most powerful \nof them is l.m. orchard's newest template[1], which provides an insane amount \nof new features, including hiding old items, click counting, and an outline \nbased format. More than likely, a revised version of his hack will appear as a \nselectable template in the next version (AmphetaDesk v0.94). \n\nAlso of interest is Brian Cantoni's FTPStore[2]: _\"FTPstore is a slight \naddition to the AmphetaDesk news aggregator. The modified code will retrieve \nthe personal channel list from an FTP location during startup and store it back \nto the same location during shutdown. This provides a simple method to keep \nyour saved channels in a network location. If you use AmphetaDesk at home and \nat work, for example, this feature will let you keep your list of channels in \nsync.\"_ It's a major improvement for AmphetaDesk users with multiple machines.\n\n[1] http://www.decafbad.com/news_archives/000228.phtml\n[2] http://www.cantoni.org/software/amphetadesk.html\n\n\n" |

The freight still isn't moving,\nfactories are running out of parts, produce is rotting, and\nretailers are more freaked about Christmas with every passing\nday. \n\nOn Monday, Bush stepped in and appointed a three-member panel to \nsee how badly this shutdown is hosing the economy. (We hope this \nisn't a difficult question, as the panel's been given all of one \nday to report back.) When Bush gets the report on Tuesday, the\nnext step might be a court order to reopen the ports under the\n1947 Taft-Hartley Act. That would send employees back to work\nfor 80 days while federal mediators duke it out over the\ndisputed contract and retailers lower their Xanax dosages.\n\nInvoking Taft-Hartley requires a threat to national health or\nsafety -- not the economy. But Labor Secretary Elaine Chao\ncovered that base in a statement on Monday, saying the work\nstoppage threatens the flow of supplies to the military (we knew \nIraq would be in here somewhere). \"Union officials quickly\nresponded that their members have been unloading military cargo\nthroughout the 10-day shutdown,\" said the L.A. Times, but an\nanonymous Bush administration official \"said that only a portion \nof what the Defense Department needs has made it ashore.\"\n\nPolitically, this has been a tricky one. Using Taft-Hartley\nwould annoy labor right before congressional elections. On the\nother hand, \"Voter discontent with Bush's handling of the\nincreasingly fragile economic recovery has begun showing up in\npolls, and such concerns may have outweighed the political\ndanger to the Republican administration,\" said the San Francisco \nChronicle. Also, Bush stepped in on the same day that a poll\nreported two-thirds of Americans wanted him to focus more on the \neconomy. \"Though the administration promised an unbiased\nexamination of the lockout, Bush appeared to have made up his\nmind that it was hurting national security and the economy,\nandmerited federal intervention,\" said the AP. \n\nAs for Taft-Hartley, it's not exactly famous for solving labor\ndisputes. Often the 80-day cooling-off period ends, and workers\nsimply walk out again (or get locked out again, in this case).\nOne gets the sense, however, that fixing the dockworkers'\ncontract isn't the point of this particular 80 days. It's 78\ndays until Christmas.

Federal regulators, both the FCC and the Justice\nDepartment, are concerned that the resulting conglomerate of\nDirecTV with Dish Network would command roughly 95% of satellite \nservice in the US.\n\nThe press could not settle on a price tag for the proposed\nmerger between EchoStar Communications and Hughes Electronics -- \nit was described as being worth anywhere from $15 billion and\n$25 billion. It was a challenge to keep the players straight, as \nsome outlets talked of a merger between the corporate parents,\nand others referred to the service monikers. Hughes is DirecTV\nand EchoStar is Dish. All straight?\n\nThe two companies sent a letter to the FCC urging them to hold\noff ruling on (read, rejecting) the merger until the Justice\nDepartment has spoken. EchoStar and Hughes offered unspecified\n\"major revisions\" to the deal that they want to discuss with\nJustice in the next weeks.\n\nThe Wall Street Journal delved deeply into the form those\nrevisions could take -- specifically, selling some frequencies\nto Cablevision. The Journal reported that Cablevision has wanted \nto get into the satellite business for 10 years and outlined the \ncable company's plans and past spending on such a project.\n\nTheStreet.com turned in an extensive analysis of the deal for\ninvestors in the satellite space. It seems the market for\nexpanded-service television may be nearing saturation.\nTheStreet.com quoted an analyst's report which concluded,\n\"Consumers should benefit from ... continued rivalry, but\nshareholders may realize much smaller returns.\"\n\nThe New York Times and the Journal both mentioned Rupert Murdoch \nwaiting in the wings.

The freight still isn't moving, factories are running out of parts, produce is rotting, and retailers are more freaked about Christmas with every passing day. </P><P>\nOn Monday, Bush stepped in and appointed a three-member panel to see how badly this shutdown is hosing the economy. (We hope this isn't a difficult question, as the panel's been given all of one day to report back.) When Bush gets the report on Tuesday, the next step might be a court order to reopen the ports under the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act. That would send employees back to work for 80 days while federal mediators duke it out over the disputed contract and retailers lower their Xanax\ndosages.</P><P>\nInvoking Taft-Hartley requires a threat to national health or safety -- not the economy. But Labor Secretary Elaine Chao covered that base in a statement on Monday, saying the work stoppage threatens the flow of supplies to the military (we knew Iraq would be in here somewhere). \"Union officials quickly responded that their members have been unloading military cargo throughout the 10-day shutdown,\" said the L.A. Times, but an anonymous Bush administration official \"said that only a portion of\nwhat the Defense Department needs has made it ashore.\"</P><P>\nPolitically, this has been a tricky one. Using Taft-Hartley would annoy labor right before congressional elections. On the other hand, \"Voter discontent with Bush's handling of the increasingly fragile economic recovery has begun showing up in polls, and such concerns may have outweighed the political danger to the Republican administration,\" said the San Francisco Chronicle. Also, Bush stepped in on the same day that a poll reported two-thirds of Americans wanted him to focus more on the\neconomy. \"Though the administration promised an unbiased examination of the lockout, Bush appeared to have made up his mind that it was hurting national security and the economy, andmerited federal intervention,\" said the AP. </P><P>\nAs for Taft-Hartley, it's not exactly famous for solving labor disputes. Often the 80-day cooling-off period ends, and workers simply walk out again (or get locked out again, in this case). One gets the sense, however, that fixing the dockworkers' contract isn't the point of this particular 80 days. It's 78 days until Christmas. The race is on. - Jen Muehlbauer</P><P>\nPresident Acts To Halt Port Lockout for 80 Days (Seattle Times)<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://tinyurl.com/1usn\">http://tinyurl.com/1usn</A> </P><P>\nBush Expected To Act on Ports Crisis <br>\n<A HREF=\"http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/business/1002/08ports.html\">http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/business/1002/08ports.html</A> </P><P>\nPresident Moves Toward Forcing the Reopening of West Coast Ports<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ports8oct08001439,0,1021983.story\">http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ports8oct08001439,0,1021983.story</A> </P><P>\nBush Takes Step Toward Halting Lockout After West Coast Port Talks Break Off (AP)<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://tinyurl.com/1usk\">http://tinyurl.com/1usk</A> </P><P>\nWhite House Intervenes on Docks Dispute (Financial Times)<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://tinyurl.com/1usm\">http://tinyurl.com/1usm</A> </P><P>\nCooling-off Period Likely in Port Fight (SF Chronicle)<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://tinyurl.com/1usp\">http://tinyurl.com/1usp</A> </P><P>\nBush Moves Toward Halting Port Shutdown<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/08/national/08PORT.html\">http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/08/national/08PORT.html</A> </P><P>\nTrouble On The Docks<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://online.wsj.com/page/0,,2_0864,00.html\">http://online.wsj.com/page/0,,2_0864,00.html</A> <br>\n(Paid subscription required.)</P><P>\nCharges of Politics Have Dogged Taft-Hartley Act<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/90243_hartley08.shtml\">http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/90243_hartley08.shtml</A> </P><P>\nTaft-Hartley Act No Quick-Fix For Port Dispute (Reuters)<br>\n<A HREF=\"http://www.forbes.com/work/newswire/2002/10/02/rtr739458.html\">http://www.forbes.com/work/newswire/2002/10/02/rtr739458.html</A> <br>\n</P>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t</font>\n\t\t</td></tr> \n\t\t\n\t\n\t</table>\n\t\n\t</td></tr></table> \n\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- 2,6:article_view -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t \n\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n<font face=\"verdana,arial\" size=\"2\"><FONT face=Verdana size=1><STRONG>Sponsor</STRONG></FONT></font>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"> \n<tr><td>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFCC\">\n\n<tr><td bgcolor=\"#FFFFCC\">\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t<TABLE bgcolor=\"#FFFFCC\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\n\t<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFCC\"><td>\n\t<a name=\"a75853\"></a> \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<font face=\"verdana,arial\" size=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<P>SPECIAL OFFER!

Federal regulators, both the FCC and the Justice Department, are concerned that the resulting conglomerate of DirecTV with Dish Network would command roughly 95% of satellite service in the US.</P><P>\nThe press could not settle on a price tag for the proposed merger between EchoStar Communications and Hughes Electronics -- it was described as being worth anywhere from $15 billion and $25 billion. It was a challenge to keep the players straight, as some outlets talked of a merger between the corporate parents, and others referred to the service monikers. Hughes is DirecTV and EchoStar is Dish. All straight?</P><P>\nThe two companies sent a letter to the FCC urging them to hold off ruling on (read, rejecting) the merger until the Justice Department has spoken. EchoStar and Hughes offered unspecified \"major revisions\" to the deal that they want to discuss with Justice in the next weeks.</P><P>\nThe Wall Street Journal delved deeply into the form those revisions could take -- specifically, selling some frequencies to Cablevision. The Journal reported that Cablevision has wanted to get into the satellite business for 10 years and outlined the cable company's plans and past spending on such a project.</P><P>\nTheStreet.com turned in an extensive analysis of the deal for investors in the satellite space. It seems the market for expanded-service television may be nearing saturation. TheStreet.com quoted an analyst's report which concluded, \"Consumers should benefit from ... continued rivalry, but shareholders may realize much smaller returns.\"</P><P>\nThe New York Times and the Journal both mentioned Rupert Murdoch waiting in the wings. Last year Murdoch's News Corp. bid for DirecTV, but lost out at the last minute to EchoStar.

It's \nlike a freaking _haiku_ of near-singularity, future-shocky wonderment! \n\n U.S. doctors said on Thursday they have managed to grow living pig teeth in \n rats, a feat of biotechnology that experts said could spark a dental \n revolution. \n\n Researchers at Boston's Forsyth Institute said their successful experiment \n suggests the existence of dental stem cells, which could one day allow a \n person to replace a lost tooth with an identical one grown from his or her \n own cells. \n\n \"The ability to identify, isolate and propagate dental stem cells to use in \n biological replacement tooth therapy has the potential to revolutionize \n dentistry,\" said Dominick DePaola, president and CEO of the institute that \n focuses on oral and facial science. \n\nLink[1] Discuss[2] (_Thanks, Dave[3]!_)\n\n[1] http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=585&e=1&cid=585&u=/nm/20020926/sc_nm/health_teeth_dc\n[2] http://www.quicktopic.com/boing/H/88cUs6CumjiX\n[3] http://www.remtullaeurorscg.com\n\n\n" |
