width="1" height="1" //divpThe a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/bbc"BBC/a has admitted that
nobody at Radio 2 listened to the controversial a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/russell-brand"Russell Brand/a show in which he and a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/jonathan-ross"Jonathan Ross/a left offensive remarks on
Andrew Sachs' mobile voicemail before it was aired. /ppThis admission is just one of a series of
damning revelations revealed today when the BBC published its internal report on the "Sachsgate"
affair./ppThe report includes a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/nov/21/russell-brand-jonathan-ross1"a series of
revealing emails/a between senior BBC Radio 2 executives and The Russell Brand Show producer Nick
Philps prior to the October 18 broadcast that sparked the Sachsgate row./ppThese email exchanges
lay bare a breakdown in communication and, in some cases, what the BBC called a "failure of
editorial judgment". /ppThe report concludes there was a "lack of direct control by Radio 2"
Brand's independent production company, Vanity Projects, which made his show for the station./ppAnd
it reveals that Ross and Brand had recently been on the BBC's "safeguarding trust" course
– set up and designed to ensure no repeat of the breaches of viewers' trust and
editorial standards that have dogged the corporation over the last 18 months./ppIn what will be
seen as an extraordinary decision, it has also emerged that no compliance form was completed by a
BBC executive or producer ahead of the transmission of the Brand show on Saturday October 18./ppThe
BBC management report into the affair said the October 18 programme was only "retrospectively
approved" for transmission by the Radio 2 head of compliance, Dave Barber./ppLesley Douglas, the
Radio 2 controller, told the internal inquiry she believed Barber had a "responsibility to listen
to the programme and to sign it off", whereas he "was adamant" it was not part of his job. Douglas
and Barber subsequently resigned over the Sachsgate affair, as did Brand./ppBrand's show used to be
made in-house by the BBC, but this year was transferred Vanity Projects./ppThe report said Barber
"recognised that independent programmes should be listened to inside the BBC but not that it was
his responsibility"./pp"We hadn't discussed how this was to happen – perhaps
there was an assumption I would do it," he told the BBC Sachsgate inquiry./ppAnother problem
highlighted by today's BBC report is the fact that despite the concerns raised about potentially
controversial content on Thursday October 16, the editing of the Brand show that aired on Saturday
October 18, was not completed until just before transmission. /pp"The producer [Nic Philps] did not
complete and submit a compliance form. He said he did not do so because he knew that there was no
one at Radio 2 to receive and read the form, therefore he elected to complete the form the
following week," the report stated./pp"The Radio 2 head of compliance [Barber] said he recognised
that as a result of the situation described above no one in Radio 2 would read the compliance form
or listen to the programme before it went to air," it added./pp"It was his judgment that he did not
need to see the compliance form or hear the programme ahead of transmission."/ppThe report stated
that on Tuesday October 21: "The Russell Brand programme producer completed and submitted an
independent production company compliance form for the programme of October 18 which was then
loaded into the BBC's Proteus system. Once in the system the Radio 2 head of compliance
retrospectively approved transmission."/ppOther breakdowns in communication are highlighted by the
investigation, including the fact that because she was not in the office Douglas was not aware for
four days that Sachs' agent had emailed her a complaint about his treatment by Brand and Ross on
Thursday October 24./ppShe only discovered it had been sent on the evening of Sunday October 26
– after the Mail on Sunday ran a front-page story./ppOn Saturday October 25
Douglas had texted the director of audio and music, Tim Davie, to say: "re tomorrow's Mail
regarding last week's Russell Brand Show where he called Andrew Sachs ... I am not around tomorrow
morning – for info the programme had language and content warnings at the front
as did the online./pp"The producer checked with Andrew Sachs that it could be used before it went
out as the show was pre-recorded./pp"We have received no complaint from him or his management as
far as we are aware and the show itself received jsu [sic] 2 complaints with one being about
Russell sending up Jonathan Ross who was co-hosting with him (for info the Mail often do damning
pieces about Russell or Jonathan)."/ppUnfortunately, all through the day on October 26 after the
Mail on Sunday splash the BBC press office had been "maintaining Radio 2's line that the BBC was
unaware of any complaint and this was included in BBC News' coverage of the story on the day", the
report stated./ppAs soon as she saw the email from Sachs' agent that evening, Douglas wanted to
send an apology but was advised against it by the BBC's corporate press office./ppAlthough BBC
management and the trust have now completed their reports, regulator Ofcom is still investigating
the complaints it received about the lewd messages to Sachs./ppOfcom has the power to fine the BBC
up to £250,000 per transgression for breaches of its broadcasting code.

L’équipe survivante des Monty Python en a marre de voir ses
Å“uvres sur Youtoob sans leur consentement alors ils ont créé leur
canal sur le site.
Les Monty Python annoncent qu’ils voulaient se plaindre depuis plus de trois ans que la
planète entière les plagie sans le moindre crédit.
“Maintenant la roue tourne. Il est temps pour nous de prendre les choses en mains... Nous
savons qui vous êtes, nous savons où vous habitez et nous pourrions vous poursuivre
de manière si horrible qu’on ne peut même pas dire comment”,
qu’ils menacent.
Les comédiens annoncent qu’ils mettront leurs clips à disposition en haute
qualité et gratuitement.
En échange, ils espèrent éviter de recevoir des commentaires crétins
et des idioties à la pelle. Ils veulent au contraire que vous cliquiez sur les liens, que
vous achetiez leurs DVD et commandiez leurs chefs d’Å“uvres en ligne, que vous
fassiez le bon geste qui effacera toutes ces années de copies illégales, de
plagiats et de honte dont nous savons tous que vous n’êtes pas fier même si
c’était tentant.
Il y a une nouvelle vidéo en ligne avec Michael Palin, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Jones
et Terry Gilliam expliquant leur décision d’ouvrir ce canal sur YouTube.

class="ArticleBody"Researchers at Taiwan#39;s publicly funded Industrial Technology Research
Institute (ITRI) developed the TFT-EPD (Thin Film Transistor Electrophoretic Display) screen with
smartphones in mind./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Currently 5-inches is the only screen size
available, but work is being done on other screen sizes, said Nick Vasiljevic, managing director of
Pilotfish, the company ITRI hired to design the smartphone model./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"But for designers, the flexible 5-inch screen does offer other possibilities, he
added. The hinge and flexible part of the screen can be in different places, so the screen could
bend at the 3-inch mark instead of 2.5-inch mark./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Pictures of the
smartphone appear to show a break at the center of the screen, so it looks almost like two separate
screens, but that#39;s not the case./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"What looks like a break is
actually a software taskbar similar to the one at the bottom of a PC screen. But the taskbar on the

else./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"The flexible screen technology offers new possibilities for
mobile phone makers, an important consideration at a time when companies are scrambling to develop
Mobile Internet Devices, netbooks, smartphones, and other portable gadgets. Many companies say that
finding the right screen size is key to such portable devices because people want to be able to
surf the Internet or watch movies on as large a screen as possible./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"ITRI worked with Pilotfish on the smartphone design to show off the concept
because it#39;s seeking handset makers interested in creating products around the technology. The

Oubliez Puteaux, les économies émergentes du Brésil, de
Russie, d’Inde et de Chine vont tirer les ventes de services mobiles vers le haut ces
prochaines années, d’après le régulateur Britannique des
Télécoms Ofcom.
Ces 4 pays comptent pour 42% de la population mondiale mais seulement 14% des 143 milliards
d’euros de revenus de l’industrie mondiale des télécommunications.
Dans un rapport intitulé International Communications Market 2008, l’Ofcom
dit que c’est “une opportunité de croissance future significative pour les
opérateurs de services de communications.”
En une année, la Chine a inscrit plus de nouveaux clients mobiles en 2007 que n’en
compte la Grande-Bretagne au total, dit le rapport, et compte plus de clients que dans 12 pays
d’importance majeure combinés.
L’Ofcom dit que les services internet mobiles pourraient être un secteur à
très forte croissance dans ces marchés émergents. En Inde, il y a 5 fois
plus de possesseurs de téléphones mobiles capables de se connecter à
internet que d’abonnés au téléphone fixe.
Beaucoup s’attendent aussi à une explosion du haut débit sans fil, pas
seulement en Inde, mais aussi dans les petites villes et les zones rurales du Brésil, de
la Russie et de la Chine.
AMD a réalisé une démo de ses futurs processeurs Deneb en
45nm au Texas jeudi, en poussant l’overclocking à 6.3GHz, d’après des
observateurs présents.
Les puces Deneb, qui s’appelleront Phenom II, étaient refroidies à
l’azote liquide mais certains les ont vues atteindre 4GHz avec un simple ventilateur et
5GHz avec un refroidissement à l’eau.
Les Phenom II prévus au premier trimestre 2009 afficheront 3.0GHz en conditions normales
et pour le haut de la gamme. Les Core i7 haut de gamme d’Intel s’agitent eux à
4.5 GHz avec un refroidissement par air et certains disent avoir atteint 5.7GHz avec de
l’azote liquide.
AMD dit que ces démos de Phenom II ont été réalisées sur la
plateforme Dragon, un processeur quad-core Phenom II avec GPU ATI Radeon 4800 en tâches de
fond et chipset AMD 790.
Il paraît que des optimisations de flux à haute vitesse, de Prefetch mémoire
et de prédictions associées à de meilleurs caches plus importants sont
à l’origine de ce succès.
Le nombre d’instructions par cycle n’a guère varié mais les
fréquences d’horloge sont bien meilleures.
Si Windows 7 remporte son petit succès auprès de ceux qui
l’ont testé, Microsoft pourrait bien connaître quelques difficultés
à le vendre l’année prochaine.
De nombreuses boîtes s’accrochent à Windows XP car les coûts de
changements matériel et logiciel pour passer à Vista sont trop importants et elles
préfèrent attendre Windows 7.
Le CEO de Microsoft, le calme et timide pré-retraîté Steve Ballmer, a bien
dû l’admettre et se détache de plus en plus de la promo de Vista.
A la récente Professional Developers Conference (PDC) de Los Angeles, Microsoft a
dévoilé les avantages du futur système d’exploitation ainsi que ceux
de Windows Server 2008, encourageant les entreprises à se tourner vers le futur.
La mayonnaise aurait pu prendre il y a un an, quand les sub-primes étaient vues
comme un investissement rentable et que les autocollants Vista Capable promettaient la lune.
Mais aujourd’hui tout a changé et les entreprises ont fermé le porte-monnaie
à coulisse. Même si l’économie devait se redresser, Windows 7 sortira
en période d’incertitudes.
Il y a peu de chances pour que les entreprises investissent dans du logiciel à large
déploiement même si c’est de la bombe.
Le seul avantage que Windows 7 aura sur Vista dans cette ambiance c’est que Windows XP
commencera à sentir la date de péremption dépassée.
L’avènement de Linux pourrait alors voir le jour après une longue attente de
son heure de gloire. Si les entreprises veulent réaliser des économies, il
n’y a pas mieux que Linux. Et il ne sera pas nécessaire de remplacer le
matériel.
C’est peut-être donc le bon moment pour Linux de prendre des pdm à Microsoft,
maintenant ou jamais en fait.
Traduction et adaptation d’une analyse de Nick Farrell pour INQ.
Les scientifiques de Big Glue bossent avec 5 universités de renom pour
émuler le cerveau.
La grande idée serait de mettre au point une machine capable de sentir, percevoir,
interagir et apprendre tout en économisant de l’énergie et de l’espace.
L’ordinateur cognitif promet de pouvoir absorber et traiter en un clin
d’Å“il d’énormes quantités de données venues de
multiples sources, pour aider à la prise rapide de décisions.
IBM cherche à révolutionner la façon d’envisager la conception
d’un ordinateur comme nous la connaissons depuis un demi-siècle. Big Blue veut le
concevoir dans une tasse à café grâce aux nanotechnologies qui
déploieraient des réseaux de neurones avec des connexions synaptiques.
S’ils parviennent à monter une telle machine, qui ne pense pas au sexe toutes les 30
secondes, comme le cerveau humain, elle révolutionnera les architectures et les
systèmes de programmation.
IBM et les unis ont reçu 4,9 millions de dollars de la DARPA (Defense Advanced
Research ProjectsAgency) - agence militaire - pour explorer la première phase du
projet SyNAPSE (Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable
Electronics). Quel boulot pour arriver à insérer une phrase intelligible dans
l’acronyme SyNAPSE. Traduction: Système d’électroniques neuronales
plastiques échelonnables et adaptatives, à peu près, soit Senpea en
français ce qui ne veut rien dire.
Josephine Cheng, vice-présidente du centre de recherche IBM d’Almaden à San
Jose, dit que l’ordinateur cognitif de Big Blue aidera à imaginer l’ordinateur
du futur. Dave Bowman appréciera.

Les assembleurs systèmes semblent adopter le dernier processeur Shanghai
d’AMD avec le sourire, précisant qu’il est bien meilleur que l’offre
précédente.
Après la très grosse déception des Barcelona, tout le monde se demandait
comment AMD allait gérer le passage en 45nm.
L’optimisme semble renaître avec les Shanghai, de nombreux OEM s’étant
immédiatement mis aux systèmes pour entreprises et PME avec une offre de 25
systèmes en 45nm quad-core AMD Opteron d’ici la fin de l’année.
Subhas Patel, PDG de Satine Interactive, a dit à Channelweb que
même si c’est un dérivé de la puce Barcelona, l’Opteron performe
beaucoup mieux, surtout grâce au passage en 45nm. Le Prefetch s’est
amélioré avec un cache plus grand et plus efficace, la virtualisation est plus
rapide et la puce consomme moins, avec Smart Fetch en bonus.
S. Patel dit qu’AMD se débrouille mieux qu’Intel en virtualisation et que
Shanghai réduit les temps de passage d’une machine virtuelle à l’autre.
Les adeptes de la virtualisation y trouveront leur compte, dit-il.
Randy Allen, vice-président sénior chez AMD (Groupe solutions d’entreprises),
rappelle qu’AMD améliore sans cesse le ratio performances/watt.

team?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong In general, it is my life#8217;s work to see a
href=http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/Z/Zawinskis-Law.htmlZawinski#8217;s Law/a fully realized in
everything I touch. To that end, most of my Launchpad work has been to add spam vectors, er, I mean
mailing lists to Launchpad. I don#8217;t know why anybody would think a
href=http://barry.warsaw.us/software/index.htmlI know something about mailing lists/a, but there
you have it./p pThese days, the basic mailing list features are working pretty well, so I#8217;ve
been concentrating on other things, though often email related, such as the recent #8220;Contact
this user#8221; feature./p pstrongMatthew: Can we see something in Launchpad that you#8217;ve
worked on?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong If you#8217;ve used the Launchpad mailing lists,
you#8217;ve used stuff I#8217;ve worked on. If you try out the new #8220;Contact this user#8221;
feature in Launchpad 2.1.11, you will be using my stuff. Well, that#8217;s only if you like those
features. If you hate them, someone else did it./p pstrongMatthew: Where do you work?/strong/p
pstrongBarry:/strong I work out of my home in Silver Spring, Maryland USA. Well, I emdid/em up
until about a week ago, when I moved into a temporary rental house while we#8217;re doing some work
on our real house. I live about a mile walking distance from Washington DC./p pstrongMatthew: What
can you see from your office window?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong Right now, not much other than
the side of my neighbor#8217;s house, but when I#8217;m back in my real home, I have a somewhat
less boring view of the neighborhood. I can see all the way up the street leading to my house, so
I#8217;m always prepared when the Fedex truck drops off the latest awesome mugs and hoodies from
the a href=http://shop.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu store/a (/me waits for his endorsement bonus check)./p
pstrongMatthew: What did you do before working at Canonical?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong Directly
before coming to Canonical I worked at a company called Secure Software, incidentally with
Mailman#8217;s original inventor John Viega, though we were not working on Mailman. Secure built
products around static analysis of C, C++, and Java code for security vulnerabilities. It was very
cool software and allowed me to do a lot of C, C++ and Java hacking as well as the usual big pile
of Python. I also did more Windows development than I#8217;d ever done before, and let#8217;s just
say it#8217;s nice to be working for the makers of Ubuntu now! Unfortunately mdash; or maybe
strongfortunately/strong mdash; Secure did not overwhelm in the market and, here I am!/p pI#8217;ve
been pretty lucky to work at some great places, though my career has been pretty eclectic.
I#8217;ve been able to do a lot of open source and free software, both officially and incidentally
in my career. I won#8217;t bore you with the ten page resume though./p pstrongMatthew: How did you
get into free software?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong Well, I#8217;m an old timer so I#8217;ve
actually been into free software probably before the term was even invented! My first real software
job was as a summer intern at the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST), a US Federal research
lab in suburban Maryland. I was hacking on homebrew graphics systems for robotic real time control
and visualization, and most of the work was in FORTH. There was a pretty vibrant FORTH community
and we shared lots of code, often by 8#8243; floppy disks, 9 track tapes and over the original
ARPAnet and uucp. I continued with NBS/NIST after I graduated college and our lab eventually
migrated to early SunOS systems. By that time I was learning C and hacking Unix, Emacs, window
systems, etc. Back then at least, the software that US federal employees wrote was not subject to
copyright (because it was taxpayer funded), so it was easy to give away, and it#8217;s always
seemed very natural for me to share code./p pA few years ago I searched some of the various Usenet
archives for early postings of mine. I think my first public post was of some Emacs trinket I wrote
in 1985. It was probably what eventually became Supercite. In any case, tapping into that culture
and its social interactions really got me hooked. I made a lot of friends online and I#8217;ve been
very luck to keep many of them and even meet some of them in the real world./p pstrongMatthew:
What#8217;s more important? Principle or pragmatism?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong a
href=http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/The Zen of Python/a says #8220;Practicality beats
purity#8221;./p pstrongMatthew: Do you/have you contribute(d) to any free software
projects?/strong/p pYes, quite a few actually./p pThese days I#8217;m most active in a
href=http://python.org/Python/a and a href=http://www.list.org/GNU Mailman/a, though there are
probably a dozen or so FLOSS projects I contribute to in various ways. I used to contribute a lot
to Emacs and XEmacs, but these days I prefer to just be a (l)user. I also tend to scratch my own
itch, and hosting projects on Launchpad and using Bazaar makes that just incredibly easy. For
example, I needed an email robot on some of my public email addresses, so I wrote #8216;a
href=https://launchpad.net/replybotreplybot/a#8216; which tries to do that totally anti-social job
in the most standards-compliant way possible. Even though the package is published on the a
href=http://pypi.python.org/pypiPython Cheeseshop/a, all the project management happens on
Launchpad. In fact a href=https://launchpad.net/mailmanGNU Mailman itself is hosted on Launchpad/a
now too./p pstrongMatthew: Tell us something really cool about Launchpad that not enough people
know about?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong a href=https://help.launchpad.net/Code/ReviewMerge
proposals/a are my latest kick. We use them a lot on the Launchpad project, and I think
they#8217;re a great way to manage branches, review code, and link them to bugs, milestones and
releases. I#8217;m not yet sure how useful all that stuff is for smaller projects, but for a large
complicated beast like Launchpad, merge proposals are really great./p pstrongMatthew: Four string,
six string or fretless?/strong/p pstrongBarry:/strong Ah, what a great question, but those are not
either/ors! img src=http://news.launchpad.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif alt=:)
class=wp-smiley / I firmly believe that if you can#8217;t play a 4, you have no business with more
strings. Guitar players would be wise to heed that advice. img
src=http://news.launchpad.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif alt=:) class=wp-smiley / I
played bass for almost 25 years before I got my first 5 string, and it#8217;ll probably be another
25 before I get a 6. My grandkids will have to slap and pop that hi C string for me though./p
pFretlesses are very cool, and I played a 4 fretless (with a hipshot) almost exclusively for many
years, though I am no Jaco. A good #8220;mwaahh#8221; just makes me so happy. My main axe these
days though is a fretted MTD American 535. Having that gut rumbling low B string is just too much
fun, though you have to use it tastefully. I#8217;m still saving up for a fretless 535 to match my
main axe, but it#8217;s much harder to sneak those things past my wife these days. img

pstrongMatthew: a href=https://launchpad.net/~kikoKiko/a#8217;s special question! You#8217;re at
your computer, you reach for your wallet: what are you most likely to be doing?/strong/p
pstrongBarry:/strong Okay, this is a family show, right?/p pI do purchase a lot of stuff online. I
hate going to the malls and I really hate shopping so if I can get through the holidays without
getting in my car, it#8217;s a success. One of our favorite places is Zappos because you can just
order like $10,000 worth of shoes, keep the one pair you like and send them all back for free. I do
buy the occasional software, but not too much ongoing services, though I#8217;m currently looking
at encrypted, secure online backups. I do tend to like to roll my own though, since hacking is so
much fun./p pThanks for listening!/p
