5 by 5 computer go news is not news
Last night, following a brief conversation with Martin Müller, I learned that the breaking of 5 by 5 go is a 3-year old story that slashdot (and I) fell for.
Update: It looks like the American Go Association has fallen for this as well in their electronic newsletter.

Canadian privacy law and email harvesting
Two interesting slashdot posts this evening. One (the link above) discusses a ruling by the Canadian Privacy Commissioner that harvesting email addresses for spam violates PIPEDA. The second post reports that a Dutch computer scientist has written software that has solved 5 by 5 go, which is a serious leap forward for computer go.

Endangered gizmos!
The EFF has published an endangered gizmos list, highlighting technologies that have been rendered extinct or are threatened by the entertainment industry. There is even a section for technologies that have survived legal attacks, including betamax.
