An oldie but goodie

I was checking out some conservative blogs, and their point of view reminded me of an oldie but goodie which I haven't seen adequately addressed [1] by the religious right:

Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

I myself, years ago, realized that people who proclaim loudly that they are following the exact letter of the Bible really are not.  E.G., when I read 1 Cor 11:5:

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. (NIV)

And realized that my church, for all of their talk about following the exact letter of the Bible really were not.  So, it's a matter of interpreting what verse are relevant today and which are not.

Reading Luke again and again and again and again, I came to see that the core of Jesus' message was about avoiding legalism and instead having compassion towards the poor and helping people.  Which is why I am very happy to see the Red Letter Christians, whose message is one of actually doing what Jesus tells us to do in the Bible.

- Sam

[1] I mean "adequately" addressed, not the kind of obfuscation the religious right has tried.  I don't want to hear about "proper historical context"; if you want to be a legalistic literalist, use words from the Bible to make your point!  I want to know where the scripture that says "The old mosaic law no longer applies, but we can still be bigots" is.  He tries quoting a passage that says "the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col 2:17 NIV).  Who, may I remind you, did not nullify the mosaic law (Matthew 5:17, etc.) He would have been better off quoting Acts 15:20/15:29.

Warning: Myspace phishing scam

I just got the following phishing scam from someone who I hung out with once or twice in college:

well Amanda stripped down to her thong and jumped in the pool thats all ill say.. all the pics and videos from the party are uploaded on one of my friends pages check it out if you care.. heres her link

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=3574524

(I have changed the link to one from my domain)

Here is how the scam works: You click on the link and you get what *looks* like the standard "You must be logged in to do that page", followed by what looks like a URL to a myspace.com page, but is really a URL to the rrnyspace.com domain. This page is specially crafted to look like you are not logged in to myspace, and tries to get you to type your email and password.  People will then hijack your account, change your password, and use it to send spam or viruses.  Under no circumstances type in your login or password if you know you are logged in. You can quickly verify that you are logged in by going to www.myspace.com and clicking on the "home" link at the top of the page.

This type of scam is becoming more common, and may have bitten one of your online friends, so be careful.

- Sam

Update (2006/12/14):  The site in question has both been shut down and marked in Firefox 2.0 as a Phishing site.  The user who posted the phishing scam is posting multiple bulletins promoting one of those "tell us everything including your mother's maiden name and we'll give you a gift" web sites.  I've already let her and her best friend know that she has been hacked.

Cool technology I'd like to see: BD-RAM

Right now, you can buy a format called DVD-RAM, which some (but not all) DVD writers can read from and write to. Unlike a normal DVD-+R (or even -+RW), this format is designed to be read from and written to like a normal disk drive or external USB flash drive, without needing to use hacks such as packet writing software; -+RW is designed to have all of its information burned on it at once, and be completely erased before being reburned. An average -+RW disk can only handle about 1000 write-erase-rewrite cycles before being worn out.

DVD-RAMs, on the other hand, are designed to handle about 100,000 write-erase-rewrite cycles before being rewritten. This is about the same number of rewrite cycles that flash memory can handle. DVD-RAM has a couple of other advantages over flash memory:

* It is a good deal cheaper than flash memory. A 4.7 gig DVD-RAM disk is $2.50 at the local Fry's; 4 1gb SD cards is about $80.

* It is a good deal easier to store than flash memory. The same Fry's sells a big, hard to lose binder that holds 400 CDs/DVD/DVD-RAMs for about $30. SD memory chips are a lot smaller and easier to misplace. Micro SD is even smaller and easier to lose.

The big disadvantage with DVD-RAM is that you need a device about the size of a hardcover book to read and write DVD-RAM. This makes it impractical to use with cell phones, digital cameras, and portable MP3 players. The other disadvantage is that writing to DVD-RAM is a good deal slower than flash memory (reading is the same speed or faster than flash).

DVD+-R makes a lot more sense for long-term "write once" archival; a DVD+-R disc is only 10% of the price of a DVD-RAM disk. Flash memory is good for a quick "just in case the hard disk crashes five minutes after finishing a two day project" backups or for carrying information around, such as when one walks from home to a cyber-cafe (something I do a lot in Mexico). DVD-RAM fills an essential middle road, where one wants to backup files for a while, or backup more files than can fit on one's flash memory, but does not need to keep the files forever.

Sadly, it looks like the next generation of optical drives, notably Blu Ray (HD-DVD-R is not available to consumers yet, and has less storage to boot), does not have a -RAM form of their technology. Sad, really, because this means I will have to rely on flash (or an external hard drive) to make medium-term backups. Both of these solutions are far more expensive than what optical media costs; DVD-RAM is a freebie that comes with many DVD burners. Neither flash nor an external hard disk can be expanded as easily as DVD-RAM.

Of course, there may come a time when flash memory gets cheap enough that one can get a ten pack of 4 gig cards for $10, at which point we just need people to make a good case to store them. However, by that time, BD-Rs should be only 40 cents for 25 gigs of storage. Too bad we won't have a BD-RAM solution.

Speaking of storage technologies, CD-R is alive and well. While DVD-R media is about the same cost as CD-R media in the US, and stores over seven times the data, many computers still don't have any DVD support. When I was in Mexico, DVD-ROMs drives were still pretty rare, and I don't think I saw a single DVD writer down there. It also is compatiable with some devices that can't handle DVDs: Car stereos, older computers, audio CD-only players, and playing jpeg files or mp3s on DVD players.

I got bitten by the MediaMax CD-3 virus

I got bitten by the MediaMax CD-3 Virus.  From a CD I bought just three weeks ago in Mexico.  While Sony has stopped selling CDs with this virus in the US, they still have infected CDs on the shelves in Mexico; the CD I got with the Virus was StereoHits by Moenia.  It was easy enough to remove (make forward slashes backslashes) from a "cmd" prompt:

sc query sbcphid
sc stop sbcphid
sc delete sbcphid
del /windows/system32/drivers/sbcphid.sys

While I was at it, I disabled autorun by opening up regedit and setting /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Cdrom/Set autorun to have a value of 0.  Now, this is a place where Linux kicks Windows' ass: Security.  In Windows, it will run any virus or spyware with full priviledges when you insert a floppy or CDROM unless you know the secret incantation to disable that nonsense.  Hopefully Vista will have a better security model.

Pinochet is dead

Pinchet, the 1970s and 1980s dictator of Chile who oversaw the torture and deaths of thousands upon thousands of people, is now dead.  He was never put on trial or truly held accountable for his atrocities.

On the other hand, the current president of Chile is a lady who was tortured under Pinchet's regime.  I think it is very sad Pinochet never had his day in court; then again, I think we should do what Chile's president has done: Forgive Pinchet for his evil actions and move on.  He's dead now, so the issue is between him and God, and, yes, God is now holding him accountable for his evil actions.

Reverse culture shock

Like my friend Leo, I find myself experiencing reverse culture shock.  Let me give you one example: When I first drove in Mexico, one thing that drove me crazy is how crazy the drivers are.  I'm talking driving without lights on at night (busses like doing this because then people waiting at bus stops can more easily see the bus number); people using the bicycle lane to pass me in their car, streets without lane divider lines, having to drive through every medium or large city when road tripping, people cutting me off, people constantly running red lights, etc.

When I came back to the US earlier this week after being in Mexico for months, the traffic on this side of the border drove me crazy: The drivers are crazy here, especially on the freeway.  They drive like Nascar racers, constantly changing lanes, honking at me unless I'm going 80, making lane changes without using their blinkers nor checking to see if someone else wants to enter the same lane, weaving in and out of traffic, etc.  So, drivers in both California and Mexico are crazy drivers; It's just a different kind of crazy.

By the way, the only times I have recently (in the last five years) had problems with road rage were here in California during the holiday season.  I guess the long nights up here (in Puebla, the sun rises a little after 6am and sets a little before 6pm, even this time of year) make people go crazy.

Another observation: The people who drive crazy in California almost always are driving pickup trucks, SUVs, or minivans.  The drivers in cars are pretty mellow here.

I'm now in San Diego

I'm back in San Diego!  OK, by land it takes only four days of driving to get from Puebla Mexico to San Diego California.  One way where I was very lucky on the way back is how all of the hotels at were very cheap; not a single hotel cost more than $30 on the way up.

Tequila's hotel was only $22 ($220 pesos, so actually a little less).  However, it has no hot water nor shampoo.  The hotel in Guasave was $27.5 ($275 pesos), which included a free breakfast.  The hotel in Santa Ana was $30 ($300 pesos) but included free internet.  Both Guasave and Santa Ana had hot water and shampoo.  The hotels in Los Mochis and Hermosillo are about twice as expensive.

One thing that is annoying is the number of checkpoints I had to go through on the road trip.  When I entered Sonora, I had to go through no less than three different check points (the military, the customs, followed by the police).  In the military inspecition, they looked over all the stuff in my car.  When I was near leaving Sonora, a couple of military guys tapped everything in my car to make sure I didn't have any hidden stashes of drugs.  They take drug smuggling very seriously in Mexico.

They are expanding the border in Arizona; I could see construction trucks just on the other side of the border in the US making the fence longer.  There isn't much of a fence; sometimes it was just yellow poles evey 100 feet.  Then again, Mexico is taking  human smuggling very seriously; one of the checkpoints, which didn't stop me, inspected every truck to make sure people weren't being smuggled.

I entered California without incident and am now in San Diego.  Of course, little pieces of Mexico linger here; when I went to Fry's, I saw Mexican license plates outside, heard people asking the salesmen questions in Spanish, and even said "Good Night" in Spanish to the lady who checks packages at the exit; she replied by saying "Thank you" back to me in Spanish.

I'm in Santa Ana

I finally got internet access after three days of hard drving.  I'm currently in a small town in nothern Sonora (north Mexico) called Santa Ana.  I'm about two hours from a border crossing in Arizona and five hours from a border crossing in California.  I'll probably cross the border in Mexicali.

The road trip has been interesting, as interesting as driving by myself for ten hours a day can be.  On the first day of the road trip, I was able to go from Puebla to a small town near Guadalajara called Tequila.   On the second day, I was able to go from Tequila to a town in Sinaloa, well north of Mazatlan and just south of Los Mochis called Guasave.  Today, I was able to go from Guasave to where I am now, Santa Ana.

When I was in Nayarit (a state just south of Sinaloa and Mazatlan), I was stopped at one of the various military checkpoints.  The soldier stopped me, and asked me where I was going.

"California..." I replied.

"So you're going through Mazatlan"

"Yep."

"Good.  I have a friend who needs a ride to Mazatlan."

So that's how I ended up giving a Mexican soldier a ride from Nayarit to Mazatlan yesterday.  I should probably now get a sticker on my car saying "Mexican Military Transport".

The beach between Mazatlan to northern Sinaloa is very beautiful.  It reminds me of California's beach.

Today, I drove through the sonora desert.  Since it's winter here, the weather was mild; I figure it was about 80 (fahrenheit) in the middle of the desert.  It was really beautiful driving in the desert between Sinaloa and where I am now (northern Sonora).  When I was in Hermosillo (Sonora's capitol) I met this kid who looked like a rapper from some Reggaton music video.  He even sounded like one

"What's up?" is what he asked me in unaccented English.  He could do a perfect gangster act in English, but couldn't say much past that in English.  He confessed that he doesn't like the desert.

The worse thing that happened to me was that I almost ran out of gas.  There are a lot of places on the road where one can not get gas for 150 or 200 miles.  Baja California has such a stretch (south of Rosario).  Michoacan also has such a stretch--the freeway has only one gas station besides the road in the entire state.  I had to drive 10 miles out of my way to get to a gas station.  Another stretch of road without a gas station is the 120 miles or so north of Mazatlan.

I should be in California tomorrow or the next day.

How Linux could take over the desktop

Now that I have posted a number of articles about why Linux can not take over the desktop, I think I know of a niche where Linux could be a serious threat to Microsoft: The super-cheap PC.  I'm not talking a $300 ultra'cheap desktop from Dell.  I'm talking a laptop computer that is available to end users for under $200 (Think OLPC, but for anyone and everyone).

Once prices get this low, the $50-$100+ that Microsoft charges for the OS is a big chunk of the price, and not just something you can make "part of the price of the PC".

The problem with this is that, with current technology, Linux can not be easy to use on such a machine.  Starting a modern Linux system on anything under 1ghz, with a full Gnome or KDE desktop, takes nearly five minutes, and response is sluggish compared to Windows XP.

The versions of Linux that can run fast on such a system can't generated a market big enough to have a consumer product at the $200 price point.  FVWM, as good as graphical environment as it is (still my environment of choice when using Linux), just isn't going to make millions of people want to rush to buy a new computer.

However, as processor power, flash memory, and memory get cheaper, this will hopefully change.  As the kinks slowly get fixed in the Linux desktop environments, as as long as the free software devlopers do not add layer upon layer of bloat they way they have been for the last ten years (First it was X.  Then it was a bloated glibc.  Then it was the bloated combination of GTK1, GTK2, and Qt/KDE needed to run applications.  Then it was the memory hog known as Firefox.), it will be possible to build a laptop computer that runs today's Linux software quickly for under $200 by around 2010 or so.

Indeed, it is possible to buy a computer today that can run Linux + X + FVWM just fine.  Firefox is a little too bloated for this machine, but Dillo (as well as probably Opera) should run fine.

Now, we just need to wait until a computer at this price point can run KDE + Gnome + Firefox + Gaim without problem.

Then Microsoft will have something to worry about.

My work life

Friday, I tried to post a blog about my experience with using Microsoft software.  Alas, the myspace.com servers were overloaded and I couldn't do it.  It's time for me to work with Remco to get a blog.samiam.org up so I don't have to deal with this overloaded server.  I can see why the server is overloaded; one problem with software design is that a given design can only handle so much load.  Myspace is the #1 social networking site, so it's no surprise that its popularity has exceeded its ability to serve pages quickly.

Even Google has the same problem.  I discovered, Saturday morning, the personalized homepage which I can use with my Google account.  This is the first "RSS for the rest of us" implementation I have seen.  Basically, Google now has a personalized portal service.  Basically, its like those old web portals which were the rage in 1998, but with one important difference.  For people who weren't following the internet trends back in '98, the big buzzword back then was "portal".  A portal was the first webpage someone would go to; the thinking was to put a short summaries of a lot of compelling content on this "portal", and people would use it as their home page.  Google does the same thing, but the portal is customizable.  It defaults are what a 1990s portal has: News headlines, a link to access ones email, etc.  But, I can customize it; the portal software includes a RSS reader so I can put RSS feeds from various sites on the customized home page.  In addition to RSS feeds, one can also put up mini-applets.  So I have a bunch of Christian and Geeky RSS feeds, along with a Bible verse of the day (there are several to choose from), a basic calculator, an interface to the Babelfish translator (when I can't find the Spanish word to use when writing a friend here), and so on.

There, however, is a problem: The portal is quite slow to pop up at times.  It sometimes takes most of a minute for Google to open up my personalized portal.  So, it's not just myspace that is overloaded.

Outside of the realm of computing, I am having a lot of fun teaching English.  Basically, I have three different jobs.  In one jobs, I perform corporate training for two different companies.

This is my favorite job.  Not only does it pay me the most, the students are well-motivated and take my classes seriously.  I can also joke and have a lot of fun with these students.

In the afternoon, I am teaching mostly teenagers.  Teenagers can be difficult to teach; they are very easily distracted.  I often have to spend as much effort keeping class in order as I do actually teaching English.  With one class, I just keep things as unstructured as possible; basically, I want to keep the teenagers happy.  My only strong rule in this class is to have the students speak English all of the time--somthing they are slowly doing more and more of.  Last Friday, I was helping them say numbers correctly.  Just for fun, after teaching them "trillion", we left the class and went to a computer where I showed them the Wikipedia article on large numbers.  It was a little difficult explaining how big a Googol is; I'm not sure quite understood how big a Googolplex is.  I wish I could have shown them the sequence in Cosmos where Carl Sagan shows a very long paper roll fulled with zeros, explaining that even this long roll can not show, in decimal notation, the Googolplex number.

I also teach for what would be called in the United States a continuation school.  Unlike the US, both unmotivated studants and studants with learning disabilities end up in this school.  The pay is the lowest; I consider this my "social work".  Students with Learning disabilities just take a lot of patience to teach.  It's a lot harder for me to teach unmotivated students.  Because of my personality, I like to please people.  This isn't the right approach with unmotivated students; here, I have to impose some order on them and put a emotional barrier between myself and the studants--something I'm slowing learning to do well.

I'm not sure yet when I'll return to the US, but I may be starting my trip back in a week if I can't get my visa extended.  It all depends on what the immigration office says tomorrow.
