There are currently three kinds of cameras in Chicago. The ones they installed after 9/11 (there's a random rant here), and the ones used by the CPD in high-crime neighborhoods. (google cache: here. There's also red-light cameras, which they say haven't been used for speeding, which has caused far more controversy here than the previous two mentioned above.

I would be more concerned about the use of cameras for "presumed safety" (this is the most basic privacy issue), "only low-income people need to be watched 24/7" (that's a dangerous precedent), and "misuse and abuse of police powers" (even though accidents have dropped close to 50% where cameras have been installed) in that order.

Anyways, so far the city has done a decent job informing people where these cameras are, but I stumbled into this website that lets you know what cameras are in the loop -- there's a few dozen private cameras out there, which I found interesting.

The actual results are presented in detailed form in a PDF file:

Just be cause you don't believe it to be true, doesn't meant that the loss is false.

Here's a story talking about MSFT's December Quarter of 2003. It talks about how they lost $394 million in that quarter. Here's another story discussing how they lost $273 million the quarter before that. Both of these stories were easy to find and based on MSFT's reports to the SEC.

I always thought it was common knowledge that the XBox department was burning money like it was going out of style. Guess I was wrong.

The Cymru Darknet is something entirely different, and it's not a honeynet either. Honeynets are nice sticky traps waiting to snare actively attacking crackers. This Darknet is primarily a passive monitoring system, and while it will see some active attacks such as port scans, another interesting thing it sees is backscatter from forged traffic, like CAIDA's System is tracking. Many DOS attacks use spoofed packets from random addresses, such as ICMP or SYN floods, and the victims or some routers will send TCP ACKs or ICMP responses back to the (forged) source, and some proportional fraction of that will end up in your darknet's detectors. It won't catch all such attacks - ISPs that want to be good citizens run the RFC2267 / RFC2827 best practices like uRPF spoof-proofing, which prevent their customers from forging packets except from the forger's own subnet address space, so you won't see those, but they're usually much less of a problem because they're easier to block, trace, and shut down. (Some of the cracker tools out there have built-in options to only forge within your /24 for just this reason.)

Here is one google cache of the page.

I'm not certain just how useful this is, but it's all that I saw, as the Wayback Machine didn't have an archive.

I'm not karma whoreing, just trying to see the site (I've been thinking about an EOS digital rebal for fish pics - I need INSANELY FAST shutter speeds, with the option for getting far enough optical zoom on the subject that I can see individual scales and detail on a 0.25" fry).

Hope this helps out a small bit. Why, perchance, is slashdot providing "raw" and direct links to back-end sites, anyway? Sorry if this has been answered, but I'm being serious. Caches exist. They're free. They have massive horsepower and bandwidth.

I don't sufficient data to determine if that's an issue yet. But if my fillings demodulate the signal...

You're assuming that Disney sent Moore money to work on this movie. There are a few obvious assumptions here that haven't been proven. Please read this to have a good understanding of the situation - where Moore admits that Disney told him last year that they would not distribute the film. Miramax obviously went against the wishes of their parent company by continuing to send Moore money. I would think that if there were a distribution contract with Disney, Moore would be flashing it around as proof. Have you seen a copy of it? I haven't.

The statement that Disney is afraid of tax breaks being removed is also out of Moore's mouth, an unreliable and biased source.

If this is supposed to be such a blockbuster hit, wouldn't it bring in more money than a few years of tax cuts? Disney is a publicly held company, I would think the financial statements would be available to verify this. I don't think that Jeb Bush is more powerful than Disney - if Disney got hacked at Jeb Bush, they could start pumping enough publicity and money into the Florida political system to make sure he wasn't the next governor.

The government does not have the obligation to fund ANY art - and if you don't like what they are funding/not funding, vote and send your money to fund the stuff that you like that isn't being funded. The assumption it seems a lot of people make is that the government is obligated to fund things - if more people would start making donations out of their own pockets/time to fund the things they want their money to go to, their would be less need for government funding, and therefore fewer complaints of 'my money's funding something I don't like'.

new life is nice and all, until this starts to happen.

Not at this rate

The only bright spot for UNIX is the fact that Oracle scales better on UNIX than on Windows.

In another article he talks about how with the introduction of intels ia64 chip UNIX will be regulated to the back room running a Database and will basically die out.

In article "Wintel Vendors: Data Center Addition?" Sorry no public link.
He opens saying that the impact of Linux on the data center is negligable compared to Windows which growth is expanding faster than anything else.

Looking through this information it also strikes me that he has always help product marketing positions, but has no listed experience actually having implemented and designed any of this.

He is also one of metagroups leading open source knowledgeable people without ever having worked with Linux. link

In this article
he states "anything but Linux on Intel is niche." and seems to poo-poo any thought of running linux on non-intel equipment... Which doesn't speak well for his Linux experience... He claims that they only look at what his clients are doing, so it seems that he won't know about it unless they are doing it and his job is to advise them on what to do... Make your own conclusions...

In this article dated April 20th, 2004 so it should reflect his current position, he seems to be promoting Linux. Definately worth a read through.

And this article back in dec 09th 2002 he states he see's in 5 years windows at the low end and linux at the high end of computing.

Meta Group's position
2001 Linux not on their roadmap
2002 Linux is immature and should not be used in mission critical applications
2003 - current not sure

Overall it looks like he isn't a techie, just a manager that overlooks what consultants in the field are do and provides a "face" for the UNIX department. Doesn't look like he's a Microsoft shrill especially considering the last two articles I left on him.

Hopefully this helps, going to sleep.

Yes, your numbers are correct. It is 500 shareholders or $10 million in assets. The SEC Website contains the corporate reporting guidelines set forth by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

After ten thousand years, man had at last found something as exciting as war. Unfortunately, not all nations had yet realized that fact.

Oh? From the link:

As members and friends of the Second Unitarian Church of Chicago, we feel compelled to speak out against the tragic, unnecessary death of Chris Sercye. This fifteen-year-old black youth lay for half an hour on the sidewalk adjoining Ravenswood Hospital, bleeding from a gunshot wound. Hospital officials refused to allow employees to carry Chris inside for treatment until it was too late.

and

This is health care for profit where people are packed into an under-staffed ER rather than moved to a room. This is the same system that turned away a young mother and her infant because the mother couldn't pay the $25 clinic visit. The child, who was being breast-fed, died of malnutrition. But it's the mother who is being blamed and accused of manslaughter, not the hospital who refused to examine the baby.

What's the problem with sniping? You're given X amount of time to put in a maximum bid you'll pay. If someone else wants to pay more, they'll pay more be it by sniping . . . .

If the seller is using a separate account to drive the price up at the last moment, then this may also be criminal. I'm sure in auction case law there is something to be said for when the seller enters into an auction with intent to drive the price up. At the very least he is not dealing in good faith.

For those of you who despise the Music Industry of colluding to keep the prices artificially high, then out of principle you should be opposed to bid sniping because it supresses competition. Bid sniping suppresses competition the same as price fixing. So, another problem of bid sniping is that it is unfairly (unethically?) suppressing competition.

Interestingly, the issue is brought up that online auctions should not be comparable to real auctions. The suggestion is that, in real auctions when a new high bid is established, the duration of the bidding period is extended. Also, in the vanderbilt link above, ther is mention of the same facet and its solution by "introducing a 'soft ending' mechanism, the company changes the rules of the bidding process so that any offer made in the last hour automatically triggers an extension of the deadline, removing the incentive for sniping."

Do you really want look like these guys?

Whoah, I thought you were just messin' with me, but you're right, the site does read as you say now.

My quote was copy-pasted from the site, as can be proved (until Google updates it cache.. true as of 5/3/04 9:05AM CST) by Google's cache

The FAQ stating that they did not use GPS wasn't on the page at that time either. They probably updated the site after reading my /. comment. :-p

Obligatory Google cache of Google in case it gets slashdotted.

oh its bs alright.. have a look at the the rules of spam

OT: Patents may stifle innovation in a current field of study, like genetic manipulation of plants and animals, but leave the door wide open for smarter people to come in with smarter methods( and possibly patent them as well). Just becuase a patent lets a company to slack on R&D doesn't mean other companies have to. The entire computer industry is based on the idea that there is always a better way of doing something.

Here's a link to the google cache of the geocities site. You'd think an EE would have more sense than this.

Doesn't appear the site has anything useful anyway. I'd say go with a $500 - ~1k$ unit, if you can afford it. They seem to be of high enough quality for my liking, and should be able to get a good enough picture at a sufficient resolution for anyone but the most anal.

Here is a link to a cached version of the Geocities page that has been slashdotted.

I can't think that a terrified flock of irradiated chickens would produce more heat than something like a quantity of Pu-238 or Pu-240, the former of which is quoted as producing 1/2 watt of heat per gram...nor would they be as durable.

apt-build provides automatic source based package installation in debian. Not every package offers a source package, however. This is something I'd like to see expanded in debian.

Also note the aptly named, though apparently dead project www.debtoo.org (google cache) which is based on apt-build. Don't let this stop you though, 'apt-get install apt-build' and give it a try.

The front page will take a bit getting used to (now w/o the tabs) (see: Google cache of Google). OK, so it's really not that big a deal, we'll get used to the new version where the "tab" links are more squished together (note to Google: there's all that whitespace between the links waiting to be liberated!).

The real kicker is the new search results pages. Instead of utilizing most of the page as before for the actual results, and using B/W text for explanations, now they are highlighted by this ugly MSN/Yahoo-like pale-blue/green combo, which, (*GASP*) looks oh-so-similar to the text ads that are taking almost 1/3 of the page on the right. (see example: new search page.)

- Alpha out.

Remember also, under Mr. Clarke, 5 seperate terrorist attacks took place, most of them under Clinton.

Remember also, under Mr. Bush Junior, the single largest attack ever on American soil took place, completely bypassing all of our massive military defenses -the absolute best on the planet (built to intercept Soviet fighters and nucular bombers, let alone passenger jets, with standing protocols for following FAA hijack intercept requests - and they weren't even called into action, goddammit.)

Four aircraft, known at the time to be hijacked, known at the time to be way off-course , all candidates for immediate NORAD interception, were allowed to continue flying until all four crashed, three of them into their targets, one of them plunging into the headquarters (!) of said massive military , two of them destroying some of the most prized real estate on the planet, thereby sending the American center of capitalism into a depression. How's that for a military well-prepared to protect us against threats? Imagine if this had been a Soviet nucular attack? Sheesh, we'd all be dead.

Hell, forget the allegations of a drunken, coked-up AWOL Dubya in the 70's, he was friggin' AWOL on 9/11! Yup, he hung around an elementary school, at the other end of the eastern seaboard, until well after the attacks had taken place, then tucked his tail into Air Force One and ran off into hiding! How's that for a show of military leadership?

Oh yeah, now that's a president you want to re-elect. Kerry's got nothing on him.

(Mr. Bush even says he watched one jet crash into the WTC live on TV! -then heads on into the school! wow.)
