To mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, DARPA has announced the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the roles the Internet and social networking play in the timely communication, wide-area team-building, and urgent mobilization required to solve broad-scope, time-critical problems.
The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States. The balloons will be in readily accessible locations and visible from nearby roads.
"This article is a very nasty piece of work. Nastiness breathes from the commas and drips like Spanish moss from Wolf's fine sentences. Everything in the piece is contrived to promote disapproval rather than understanding. This hatchet job could be a textbook for a course in persuasive writing: every word, every detail has been chosen for its connotations of folly, decay, and despair rather than its accuracy or appropriateness.
The inaccuracies begin in the first sentence (there is no Marin Boulevard in Sausalito), but I will not chronicle them here; a partial list can be found at http://xanadu.net/wolfsbane"
