May 03, 2001 Wu Tang Name Generator

The shownotes for this show and yesterday's seem to be missing on the TSS site. The notes for 5.1.2001 also seemed to be missing too, but I was able to locate them. See previous entry (5/1/2001).
Leo interviewed John Seeley Brown, formerly of Xerox Parc. He demonstrated a novel site map at Inxight. Definitely worth checking out. I really liked Jessica's featured site, Wu Tang name generator, but maybe that's because my Wu Tang name turned out to be Cybernetic Tiger. Cool.

Quote of the day: Leo and Pat discussed the court case against the inventors of DeCSS, the code invented to decrypt DVDs, originally so they could be played on Linux. But it can also be used to illegally copy DVDs. One of the lawyers for the government had the audacity to compare DeCSS code to "terrorist software that would bring a jumbo jet out of the sky killing hundreds". Incredulous, our hosts responded "Exsqueeze me, wheat did you say? I corn barley ear you."

Runner-up quote of the day: During a segment about creating an auto-run CD, Leo removes a CD from the drive too soon and causes the conputer to blue-screen. Leo apologizes for ejecting too soon. Patrick rephrases it to "premature ejection"
