Mercenary.

Mercenaries.

Why are the BBC so afraid of this word?
I keep hearing about 'civilians' and 'security guards' killed and captured in Iraq.
A civilian is someone who is unarmed. A security guard is the guy in nylon clothes in Tescos. An M16 toting 16 stone ex-special forces South African is a mercenary. Of course, some of the people captured by Iraqi 'insurgents' are real civilians. This is hardly surprising; after all, it is we who have blurred the boundary between military and civilian. Journalists and relief workers have to share hotels with gun wielding 'security guards' -- is it any wonder that journalists and relief workers are seen as the enemy?
What are the rules of engagement under which the mercenaries operate? To whom are they accountable? In a country with no effective law and order, who will punish them for any crimes they commit?
We are supposed to be outraged at the deaths of four US mercenaries killed in Falluja. The US exacted a terrible collective punishment for this crime; 200 women and 100 children killed. Can there be a single man left in Falluja who would not now support the 'insurgents'?
Collective punishment is a war crime -- many WWII war criminals were executed at Nuremburg for exacting collective punishment in retribution for attacks by the resistance. Will we see any US soldiers prosecuted for war crimes?
Mercenaries are not in Iraq to 'win hearts and minds', nor are they there to fight and perhaps die for their country.

They are there to kill people for money.

I realised last night that it has been ten years since I started my own business. It was called Return to Zero after a button on a recording studio tape deck, and abbreviated to RTZ. At the time, I had never heard of Rio Tinto Zinc!

That set me thinking about how digital life was ten years ago. I was still using a Mac Quadra 700 (25MHz 68040) and I thought it was pretty damn hot, thank you very much (4M of VRAM; millions of colours!). A large part of my work was refurbishing floppy drives.

At the time, a modem was for sending faxes. I knew a bit about the internet, having learnt TCP/IP networking whilst training a few years before as a NeXT engineer.

In early 1994, I replaced a floppy drive in a Mac SE at a house in Brentwood. The owner was a lad of about 15 (rich parents!), and he gave told me about an internet gateway run by his father's employers in Swindon.

To connect, you simply fired up your terminal program; set the connection options to 9600bps, 8 data, no stop, 1 parity; dialled a certain Swindon number and typed "INTERNET" at the prompt. There was no access control whatsoever, and often the number was engaged, so I assume there was a single modem attached to a workstation there.

My memory is fairly dim about what happened then. I remember reading news and playing around on irc -- I guess the gateway must have been menu driven, because I had no idea how to use UNIX. I remember the first time I say newsgroup postings, I thought they were someone's private email messages, and disconnected sharpish! Curiosity led me to reconnect the next night. Binaries -- therefore images -- were out of the question over the textual link. There wouldn't have been much to see on the web anyway -- there were only a couple of hundred servers at the time!

I soon progressed to a dialup account with Hiway (they're called altoHiway now). I chose them because they were the only ISP with a POP in my local telephone area (POP stood for Point-of-presence, rather than Post Office Protocol -- in those days you got your mail by SMTP and liked it). They didn't support Macs, of course, but that didn't stop me.

I now had an email address! I can't remember it now; something like lkj7873@hiway.co.uk. It didn't really matter, I didn't know anyone else with an email address anyway. I subscribed to a few lists so I would get some mail. You subscribed to lists by email in those days, rather than over the web. In fact, you could get files from ftp servers by email -- you sent commands to the gateway in an email message, and it would email the results back to you! For example, ls -lR would send back a huge email listing every file on the server.

Soon, I had Mosaic for the fledgling web, Fetch for ftp, Eudora for email, Newswatcher for news. I had a 14.4 modem; I was cookin'!

In those days, there used to be a lot of ftp sites full of plain text files with interesting contents --- cannabis-growing, bomb-making, drug-synthesising instructions, mainly. You would find these mainly from links in news postings. Generally, the files would be hosted at universities in the US. God bless the First Amendment!

Ho hum. No spam (in those days people used to have their email addresses listed in directories!), no Internet Explorer, no DSL, no Slashdot, no blogging, no Google, no Napster/Kazaa/Gnutella -- no mp3s in fact. No Ebay, no clueless corporations trying to co-opt the net, no pop-ups, no Javascript. No Flash!

Aaaaaahhh. No Flash.

Quoth idiot on slashdot:

IE6 is remarkably web-standards-compliant

Thankfully, Jim Dabell responds with a nice summary of the real position:

Bullshit.

It manages to get CSS 1, a specification over seven years old mostly right. However, it ignores or screws up vast swathes of CSS 2, a specification that will soon be six years old. It doesn't even attempt to handle the four year-old XHTML 1.0. It doesn't understand most selectors. It doesn't understand any of the CSS table model. It violates a number of mandatory sections of the five year-old HTTP 1.1 specification. It can't render PNG images correctly, despite the fact that Microsoft promised support in Internet Explorer 4 and the fact that it's been around for over eight years. It can't even decide between "quirks mode" and "standards compliant mode" reliably, as it throws an eppy when faced with the XML prologue in XHTML documents.

Don't even try to argue that Internet Explorer is in any way a decent browser when it comes to supporting standards.

Nice one Jim.

MyDoom is indirectly seriously pissing me off.

I run a mailing list with 20178 subscribers. Many of these are sufficiently dumb to get 'infected' with trojans like this.

I can easily handle the huge volumes of viruses that they send to the list, but what totally pisses me off is the responses to the list from anti-virus software.

Like this (randomly selected for abuse):

Please have your pc scanned and cleaned before you send any more email's to Hobsons.


Su-fucking-perb. The admins at hobsons.co.uk are fuckwits. How else can they

• Not know that all viruses/worms/trojans forge the 'from' address, including MyDoom.
  
• Turn on an infection warning that is turned off by default to reply to the supposed sender.
  

I say again, whoever administrates the hobsons.co.uk mail server is a dipshit.

And when google ranks this page higher than their site, I shall send the google search link to them.

I love that "Please have your pc scanned and cleaned before you send any more email's to Hobsons.". Yeah, right.

Please get a fucking clue, you mouth-breathing shithead.

It appears that Apple may bunch several iTMS track purchases, and then bill them all at once to save on transaction charges. I'd love to experiment with iTMS, but it's still not available to non-US addresses.

So file sharing has caused a huge drop in demand for CD sales?
Not according to this BBC news article.

From the article:

A record number of albums were sold in the UK in the last year because they are now cheaper than ever, industry figures have revealed.

More than 228 million albums were sold in the 12 months from June 2002 - up 3% on the previous year - according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

And they were on sale for an average of £9.79 each, which is a new low, the BPI said.

Who'd have thought it? The laws of supply and demand apply to music sales.

Brighton and Hove council have decided to grant permission for a set of four skyscrapers on the King Alfred site. The largest of them is to be 38 storeys high.

Sussex Heights is currently the highest building in Brighton, rising to 23 storeys (82m). Incidentally, Sussex Heights is also home to a family of Peregrine Falcons.
Extrapolating from the height of Sussex Heights, the new Gehry designed skyscraper would be 135m (444 feet). On the other hand, if you extrapolate from the height of Tower 42 (formerly the Natwest Tower) the new skyscraper would be 161m (530 ft). Let's split the difference (more or less), and call it 150m.

Conveniently (for the calculations), the King Alfred center is 1500m from our flat. A bit of trigonometry will show you that at that distance, the tower will subtend an angle of 5.7°.

Here's how it will look from our window:



Not too bad, I suppose.

Smack on the wrist for Brighton police; who assumed that a man was unconscious due to drink or drugs. In fact, he'd had a brain hemorrhage.

We really might as well have a militia around here. Yesterday on PM, the local police chief confirmed his intention to harrass street drinkers: "They will either have to stop drinking, or move out of Brighton and Hove".

Hmmm... Can you say 'persecution'? The council have repeatedly stated that "this is not a drinking ban". Funnily enough though, the council spokeswoman said on PM that it was a street drinking ban.

We were reassured that the new powers won't be used against 'ordinary' people enjoying a drink on the beach or in the park, but will be used against persistant street drinkers. So nice, middle class people can drink where they like, but dirty oiks will have to move out of town.

Human Rights Act 1998:
 

ARTICLE 14:
PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION
The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.

(my emphasis).

But fuck their human rights. They're homeless (or vulnerably housed) alcoholics.

The only time I see police around here is when they are harrassing the drinkers in Norfolk Square (several times a day).

Why don't they concentrate on catching some criminals? Oh yeah; I forgot. It's because they're incompetent.

Oops. I've not been posting properly lately. Tut tut.
Got the Spotmatic back from repair; they did an excellent job. So if you're searching for Spotmatic meter switch repair (as some have, I note from my logs) try Clock Tower Cameras in Brighton. It cost 50 quid, but there you go. They also adjusted the shutter speeds and meter accuracy.

But today I will mostly be baking bread. I've been trying to get it weighed off for a while. It's one of those geeky things (like cheesemaking, beer brewing). I think I now know where I was going wrong; my dough was too dry. I assumed that the 'cakey' texture of my earlier attempts were due to excess water in the dough, but I followed a french poolish recipe and the dough was so wet, I thought it would never work. But it did; the baguettes were perfect.
I think I might have had the oven on too low in the past, as well. This recipe called for an oven temp of 245° C, causing the kitchen to fill with acrid smoke. Must clean that oven...

Update: I've now added a bread-making page. I've taken some photo, so I'll jazz it up soon.

August 1968 - WH Auden
The Ogre does what ogres can,
Deeds quite impossible for Man,
But one prize is beyond his reach:
The Ogre cannot master speech.

About a subjugated plain,
Among its desperate and slain,
The Ogre stalks with hands on hips,
While drivel gushes from his lips.

Robert Fisk writes:

It was an outrage, an obscenity. The severed hand on the metal door, the swamp of blood and mud across the road, the human brains inside a garage, the incinerated, skeletal remains of an Iraqi mother and her three small children in their still-smouldering car.
Two missiles from an American jet killed them all - by my estimate, more than 20 Iraqi civilians, torn to pieces before they could be 'liberated' by the nation that destroyed their lives.

The breathtaking precision of the smart bombs is such that so far, missiles have accidentally landed in Turkey, Syria and Iran. They can't even hit a "country the size of France".

That mendacious moron Johann Hari writes in the Independent:

At a time when the world's attention is focused on Iraq a problem that Bush and Blair agree on it is worth sparing a thought for another global crisis on which they passionately disagree: global warming. This Sunday will be the second anniversary of the disastrous afternoon when the President spat out the Kyoto protocol with a Texan smirk, declaring it "fatally flawed". Tony Blair responded at the Johannesburg summit this February with his starkest challenge to the President so far. "There will be no genuine security," he explained, "if the planet is ravaged by climate change. We in Britain have shown that it is possible to break the relationship between economic growth and ever-rising pollution." Our so-called poodle's response to US pressure to "lose Kyoto" was to declare that Kyoto was "not radical enough" and embrace far more ambitious targets.
...
The disagreements over Kyoto also shed light on Iraq. Whether you agree with Blair or not, his motives for acting are clearly not unthinking loyalty to the US or sycophancy to a superpower. If they were, he would have toadied to them on Kyoto.

BZZZZZZT!
The Johannesburg summit was September 2002, not February 2003.
Blair issued a thinly veiled rebuke (that's the Independent's words). Pretty easy to say Kyoto should be more radical when the US have already torpedoed it, huh?
So because Blair tut-tutted at Bush's failure to ratify the Kyoto protocol it must follow that Blair is not unthinkingly loyal or sycophantic? Hardly. At best, he's a poodle who once yapped.

Here's an interesting contrast. From the Telegraph says:

The first substantial allied shipment of humanitarian aid to Iraq arrived yesterday escorted by fast patrol boats, protected by a swarm of military helicopters and closely covered by the international press corps.
...
There were no Iraqi civilians to witness the arrival of Sir Galahad as the docks at Umm Qasr are still an important military objective for coalition forces and are effectively a no-go area for locals.

But the Sun says:

THE Royal Navy's delayed aid ship FINALLY docked yesterday and was greeted by ecstatic Iraqis.
...
Docker Ali Jabar Yaser, 39, added: 'The regime is no more for us. We are glad the English are here'

Fascinating. Who's lying? Well, if you look at the pictures accompanying the Sun article, you will notice a complete lack of civillians identifiably at the port.

Just got back from the West Pier, which has just gone out. I had to take the old Practika. Shot a couple of rolls, so hopefully something will be worth printing. Simon Thornton's blog has many pictures.
I got a nice one of the palace pier when that was on fire. I just happened (honest!) to be on the beach that night -- I was going to take night shots of the west pier -- and I noticed the palace pier was on fire. Alas, I only had a 50mm prime lens with me, so I had to leg it up the beach to get close enough before they put it out.
Today was a bit different -- by the time I got there (11:15ish) it had pretty much burnt out. I must admit, I'm a bit suspicious... Who usually has the most to gain when a listed building burns down? Yup, the owners.
The west pier trust won't now have to decide which parts need saving; they can just rebuild it with new materials. None of that pesky conservation stuff. Doubles all round!

Dang. My favourite camera's broken. It's a beautiful Pentax Spotmatic F. Unlike that picture, it's a black one. They seem to be much more valuable (still only 100 quid, silver ones can be had for about 50 quid). The meter switch has come loose, and is about to fall off. Looks like I'll have to fall back on my Praktica MTL5B for a while - also a good camera, but an ugly beast. It feels like a brick, and the mirror slap makes it virtually jump out your hand. So why is it a good camera? Metal focal plane shutter, accurate meter across the battery life, cheap replacement batteries, excellent focus screen, useful for hitting muggers with. You can use one to stop your truck rolling down a hill. And only 20 quid.
I wonder how much the Spotmatic will cost to repair? Doubtless more than it is 'worth'. Still, I'm going to try. It's such a lovely camera - complete with Leica M style 'bounce' noise on 1/30 and 1/15. And I recently bought a superb M42 Soligor 35-140 fixed f-ratio zoom for it, so please don't suggest I move on from M42 cameras.

Naturally, I'm against the war. I say naturally, because I can't find any Brighton bloggers on the B&H Virtual Festival site who are not against the war.
Talking of which, I got a bit confused by the headline in the edcom pages of the Independent yesterday: "Now is not the time to stop opposing the war". What a grotesque bit of English. Kingsley Amis will be turning in his grave.
But I do agree. I've never subscribed to this "When the war starts, I'll support the troops" crap. Extraordinary doublethink. I sympathise with them being sent to Iraq, but I'm not going to support them killing people.
All this crap about it being a Christian enterprise is baloney. See The Sermon on the Mount.
And it seems that the papers and news have been full of a strange argument, which goes something like this:

Iraq is so militarily impoverished since the last Gulf War, that they will just roll over and surrender. The war will be over very soon and there will be few casualties. The war is Good.

But hang on, weren't the same people telling us a few days ago that Iraq was a great threat? That they had all these devastating weapons?

More FUD from the gov.uk:

There is evidence al-Qaeda "operatives" are being sheltered in Iraq, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's spokesman has said.
It is the first time that the British government has explicitly linked al-Qaeda and the Iraqi regime.
Last week the prime minister said that there were some links between al-Qaeda and people in Iraq, but stressed that there was no evidence of a link between al-Qaeda and the Iraqi regime.
But on Wednesday his spokesman said there was evidence al-Qaeda operatives were sheltering in Iraq, adding that the nature of the regime meant they could not do so unless Saddam Hussein was willing to have them. (my italics)

Full 'story' news.bbc.co.uk
What a complete pile of crap. He seems to be saying that nobody can live in Iraq without Saddam Hussein's say-so. If there are Al-Qaeda people in Iraq, then they are almost certainly in the northern Kurdish autonomous area, having escaped from Afghanistan. Saddam's writ doesn't really run here, though. The Kurds are fighting him (and each other) for independence. How are we supposed to reconcile the fact that Saddam is fighting the Kurds with the insinuation that people cannot live in Iraq without support from Saddam? Or is Saddam now not a threat to the Kurds? If not, why do we need the northern no-fly zone?
In fact, Saddam is highly unlikely to support Al-Qaeda, as they are are religious fanatics, whereas he is a secular military dictator (and a madman and monster to boot). I'm sure Al-Qaeda would love to kill Saddam and install a fundamentalist regime similar to the Taliban. In fact, Osama bin Laden has made statements to this effect.
Ho hum. More lies.
[ update: 3/28/03] Tam Dalyell says here that bin Laden has tried to kill Saddam Hussein twice already.

The Washington Post reports that John Lee Malvo (the 17 year old suspect in the Washington sniper case) can be tried as an adult, and therefore would be eligible for the death penalty. They don't really discuss the reasoning behind the ruling.
Only three countries - the US, Iraq and Congo - execute people for crimes that they committed when a minor.
Virginia (where Malvo is to be tried) as has an odious law called the 21 Day Rule which says that no court is permitted to review any newly discovered evidence presented 21 days or more after the initial sentencing.
When a prisoner condemned to death petitioned a Virginia Circuit Court to review new evidence on his behalf, then Attorney General Mary Sue Terry argued: "Evidence of innocence is irrelevant."
Presumably evidence of a person being a minor is also irrelevant in deciding whether they be tried as an adult.

Found a couple of interesting articles on the Guardian site via the letters page. One is a letter from Ibbo Mandaza (editor-in-chief of the Daily Mirror in Zimbabwe). He alleges that the European pressure on Mugabe is racist and hypocritical, and makes a good case to support those allegations.

The other is a column by Rod Liddle about child pornography (boy, that's a risky phrase to post in a blog). Obviously, child abuse is a terrible crime, but isn't it usually committed by step-fathers and uncles? This point is generally ignored. Victoria Climbie, for example, was totally failed by social services, and eventually murdered. To me, the fact that she was tortured for years is unsurpassable cruelty; worse even than high profile murder cases like Sarah Payne and the Soham murders. Presumably Victoria's murder doesn't make as good copy because there's no sexual element.
Update[1/29/2003]: The report about the social services blunders that allowed Victoria Climbie to die has been published. There's going to be a new agency to tackle the "widespread organisational malaise" in health, the police and social services that the report found led to "a gross and inexcusable" failure of the child protection system.
Jolly good. Lessons have been learnt etc... won't happen again then.
