Frothing Librarians

Across the country, librarians are folding, spindling and mutilating
library cards in protest against The U.S. Patriot Act, created after
September 11, 2001, to help catch terrorists in the future.

In many city libraries a warning taped to computer screens warns patrons
that "Anything you read is now subject to secret scrutiny by federal
agents."

The law that has librarians all a-twitter gives federal investigators
authority to examine book and computer records at libraries. Why? Because
the hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon used public library computers to communicate with each other
prior to the attacks.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't care if the library monitors what books I
check out.

Blockbuster Video monitors what videos we rent, supermarkets record our
purchases in databases, and we're all constantly videotaped by
surveillance cameras. Okay, so maybe it's not "Better living through
techno! logy," but my advice to these frothing librarians is to lighten
up and get over it.

What do you think? I want to her from you, so send your comments to me by

This Weeks Guest

Richard M Stallman - You may ask yourself: "GNU is that?" Tune in
Saturday and find out. Here is a little preview of the legend...

Richard Stallman is the founder of the Gnu Project, launched in 1984 to
develop the free operating system GNU (an acronym for ``GNU's Not
Unix''), and thereby give computer users the freedom that most of them
have lost. GNU is free software: everyone is free to copy it and
redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or small.

Today, Linux-based variants of the GNU system, based on the kernel Linux
developed by Linus Torvalds, are in widespread use. There are estimated
to be some 20 million users of GNU/Linux systems today.

Richard Stallman is the principal author of the GNU Compiler Collection,
a portable optimizing compiler which was designed to support diverse
architectures and multiple languages. The compiler now supports over 30
different architectures and 7 programming languages.

Stallman a! lso wrote the GNU symbolic debugger (gdb), GNU Emacs, and
various other GNU programs.

Stallman graduated from Harvard in 1974 with a BA in physics. During his
college years, he also worked as a staff hacker at the MIT Artificial
Intelligence Lab, learning operating system development by doing it. He
wrote the first extensible Emacs text editor there in 1975. In January
1984 he resigned from MIT to start the GNU project.

Stallman received the Grace Hopper award for 1991 from the Association
for Computing Machinery, for his development of the first Emacs editor.
In 1990 he was awarded a Macarthur foundation fellowship, and in 1996 an
honorary doctorate from the royal institute of Technology in Sweden. In
1998 he received the Electronic Frontier Foundation's pioneer award along
with Linus Torvalds. In 1999 he received the Yuri Rubinski award. In 2001
he received a second honorary doctorate, from the University of Glasgow,
and shared the Takeda award for social/e! conomic betterment with
Torvalds and Ken Sakamura. In 2002 he was elected to the National Academy
of Engineering.

And that's just a start...
