Request for citations--past aoir conference papers that have been published
by Mia Consalvo 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hello, As you may know, I'm working with the AoIR Research Annual Working Group, which is currently putting together a compendium of research papers given at the first three AoIR conferences (Kansas, Minneapolis, Maastricht). In addition to the research papers we are publishing, we would also like to include a listing of the papers that have been presented at any of these AoIR conferences that have subsequently been published as a journal article, book chapter, or as part of a book. If you have presented a paper at a past AoIR conference and have had that paper published in such a form, could you please send the citation to me OFF LIST at consalvo(a)ohio.edu? We would like the list to be as complete as possible, to demonstrate the breadth and depth of Internet research, as well as the remarkable productivity of AoIR folks! Thanks for your help with this, Mia -- Mia Consalvo, Ph.D. AoIR Research Annual Working Group, Chair 213 RTVC School of Telecommunications 9 South College Street Ohio University Athens, OH 45701 (740) 597-1521 consalvo(a)ohio.edu

peace...
by noci 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

hello laura, well you've mentioned the way Bush was elected... that made some memories come up here, memories about the public outrage i witnessed back then. Some people started being really afraid of what they guessed would happen with Bush as the leader of the one and only remaining super power. i was one of them, and it's an uncanny feeling seeing all of these fears becoming real just now. i've spent a lot of my childhood in the United States, it's very good memories of a peacefull, stable and self-conscious country. What i've been thinking of during the last months, in fact ever since 9/11, is the way the atmosphere in the US has changed from stability to concern, and yes, almost panic.. It's outrageous to imagine the new way of life terrorism has brought upon all US residents. "If we let them change the way we live, the terrorists have already won" what does one draw from that statement? have they already won? it makes me terribly sad to see how people's lives are being affected- and that's a universal phenomenon, fear does not differentiate between pro-war and anti-war citizens. i feel sorry for all of the good-hearted people i know in the US, all suffering from "heightened alert levels". by the way, "code red" would effectively mean martial law, a government spokesperson said a while ago. check indymedia international.. it's so horrible! as for the "polls"... well, there's many sociologists (if not the majority) on this list, so we all know about the vailidity of "quick polls" having the arrogance to actually represent the "public opinion". from my point of view, i belive those polls have long since become tools of propaganda. did you notice, as the war was coming closer, the polls suddenly started indicating 60 somewhat percent of the Americans actually agreeing with it? I don't believe that. I just refuse to believe that. watching the news now, dumbfounded. please take good care of yourself, everyone-- and yes, peace, peace.. max ps thanks david! :)

comparative access statistics
by Janne Bromseth 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hi all - I am searching for some comparative statistics on Internet access and use, in particular looking at developmental patterns in the United States vs Europe, (my qualitative analysis of Nordic discussion groups needs som hard numbers in trying to contextualize their outgrowth in the bigger historical picture and I have been lazy, and need to document (what I hope is right here!) if north-americans expanded usage before us, generally speaking, to make probable my qualitative impression that these more 'local cultural oriented groups' relating to the Nordic countries came later than the north-american-dominated international groups... So statistics from the beginning of the 90-ties and forward and with numbers from both the US and Europe would be great! (most of what I've looked into very quickly now is from the last 3 years..) It suddenly became an urgent matter, just about to finish an article and it's kind of important to be correct on these issues.. ;) Thanks so much for any help! All the best Janne Bromseth Janne C.H.

New Email Worm Already Exploits the Iraq Conflict
by Denise Carter 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

New Email Worm Already Exploits the Iraq Conflict A new worm, called W32/Ganda-A, which was first detected on Monday, is a mass-mailing worm that spreads by sending email to contacts from the Windows Address Book. It appears to have started in Sweden, and sends out messages in either Swedish or English, depending on the systems' language. So far, quite a few variants have been found. Here are a few of the English subject fields found: Screensaver advice, Spy pics, GO USA !!!!, and G.W Bush animation. For more on this Worm, visit: ==> http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.ganda.a@mm.html ==> http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/19/1047749802011.html

e bomb
by Jillana Enteen 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Here's something directly relevant, both on the war front and in relation to electronic technologies (Air-l "concerns"). I'm as speechless as I can ever be, David. After speaking out on campus (Northwestern Univ) numerous times and hoping that something could keep the attack at bay. Now, I forward. I will be out, though, in the coming days, attending demonstrations that I find out about, as you note, through www networks and email activism. Hoping this ends immediately, jillana U.S. May Use 'E-Bomb' During Iraq War 2 hours, 45 minutes ago By MATT CRENSON, AP National Writer U.S. forces may use a new "e-bomb" during the expected invasion of Iraq (news - web sites) as part of a 21st century blitzkrieg designed to render Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s forces blind, deaf, dumb and incapable of retaliation. The highly classified bomb creates a brief pulse of microwaves powerful enough to fry computers, blind radar, silence radios, trigger crippling power outages and disable the electronic ignitions in vehicles and aircraft. "They would be useful against any adversary that is dependent on electronic systems," said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, a think-tank based in Arlington, Va. In modern warfare, electronics undergird virtually every weapon more sophisticated than a rifle or hand grenade. For that reason, Air Force scientists have worked for decades on a practical way of producing powerful but brief pulses of microwaves that can incapacitate electronic equipment without damaging buildings or harming people. Officially, the Pentagon (news - web sites) does not acknowledge the weapon's existence. Asked about it at a March 5 Pentagon news conference, Gen. Tommy Franks said: "I can't talk to you about that because I don't know anything about it." However, military analysts say a number of unclassified documents suggest such a device is ready for the battlefield. "There's been a lot of discussion behind closed doors in the Pentagon and in the trade press that these things are now being tested," Thompson said. According to a 2000 report by Air Force Col. Elaine M. Walling, scientists at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico have created microwave sources that generate up to 10 times the amount of energy that Hoover Dam produces in a day. Such powerful pulses can incapacitate electronic equipment without damaging buildings or harming people, making them an attractive weapon whenever civilian casualties are a concern. In laboratory tests, microwave pulses can melt silicon chips, pushing their circuits far beyond their capacity to conduct electricity. But on the battlefield, even the most impressive e-bomb's effects rapidly diminish with distance. Although e-bombs' capabilities are classified, military analysts believe their range is a few hundred yards at most. That relatively short range decreases the odds that hospitals, orphanages and other civilian infrastructure will be affected, unless they are directly adjacent to or networked with military targets. "I think it is almost always more humane to use this compared to a conventional weapon," Thompson said. The bombs' effects are also hard to predict, analysts say. The surge of electricity produced by a microwave pulse could go directly to the nearest bank of military supercomputers, or it could just as easily be shunted harmlessly into the ground. "The effects are hard to focus. The moment the energy is absorbed into wiring or other electrically conductive material you don't know where it's going to go," Thompson said. Those uncertainties and others may prevent e-bombs from playing a major role in the anticipated U.S. offensive against Iraq, said Lt. Col. Piers Wood, a military analyst at the defense policy think-tank globalsecurity.org. "There will be a few commanders who will see these and get to try them out," Wood said. "We're not talking about arsenals of these things." Defense experts are particularly eager to see if e-bombs can reach into deep underground bunkers that could otherwise be neutralized only by tactical nuclear weapons. By shutting off the electricity, a microwave weapon could render a bunker uninhabitable by disabling lighting, security systems, ventilation and computers. Eventually, Wood said, other nations may acquire high power microwave weapons; American forces, which depend so heavily on technology, would be particularly vulnerable to them. He predicted that soon all military electronics will have to be protected from high power microwaves by metal casings, with sophisticated circuit breakers connected to any incoming wires. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I would say that the list isn't about stuff like that so it isn't brought up. I blog about it, and see a lot of stuff in the NYTimes instead - editorials, opinion pieces, pictures and articles about thousands of marchers. So no, it's not on AIR, but it's out there, a lot of it is. And I get email, like one today to a good Michael Moore piece. I mean, there are a lot of other outlets, so it's not like I myself am not talking about it, I'm just not doing so absolutely everywhere. Perhaps the net has allowed for so many different methods of communication that we don't need to use every way we have to talk about it, sometimes respite is good. ndp... > Begin forwarded message: > > > From: david silver <dsilver(a)u.washington.edu> > > Date: Wed Mar 19, 2003 5:19:47 PM US/Eastern > > To: air-l(a)aoir.org > > Subject: [Air-l] peace > > Reply-To: air-l(a)aoir.org > > > > i attach a few preemptive apologies to this post: apologies if the > > topic > > strays from what some believe to be appropriate discussion areas for > > the > > list, apologies for leaping to a soapbox to exclaim a personal > > position. > > > > i am writing to inquire why there is so much silence regarding a topic > > that deserves a bit more than silence. the historian in me wonders > > what > > future historians will think when they look back into the archives of > > lists like air-l and notice that while the world is on fire, there were > > only a handful of posts about it. why is this?
