The answer to the mystery of the NSA snooping scandal - why did they break the law when it was so ludicrously easy to get FISA warrants? - appears to be developing: they weren't just wiretapping, they were data mining. They were using Echelon to 'Able Danger' the whole country (this is Poindexter's Total Information Awareness, which is supposedly dead, in action). The problem is that FISA was enacted prior to the current capability for data mining, and didn't anticipate how ubiquitous it could be. The reason they couldn't use FISA is that they would have had to obtain a FISA warrant for every person in the country. Data mining requires that you follow each link discovered by your snooping, and wouldn't work if it had to be subjected to FISA or the Constitution. The NYT article, now being spun as resisted by the Bush Administration (as if the NYT would publish anything without Rove's say-so), appears to itself be part of the spinning, a limited hang-out to cover up the bigger scandal.

The comments attached to the linked blog post also offer some good insights and thoughts.

The thing is, when you look at the picture in the article (I know, you need to RTFA), you wonder how they deduced from this that it was the crashing site...

Anyway, what are they to do about it? Send a shovel and a cross to bury it?

You need to calm down, seriously. Home Theater components that can burn a CD *cannot* burn a DATA CDR, it *needs* a MUSIC CDR. At least it was so a few years ago. This was a 'legal' way for Philips, Sony et all to sell CD burners intended for music and still the RIAA would get something out of it. That was before this stupid tax on all other CDs was settled of course.

As far as reading is concerned, they can read either.

I find it somewhat bothersome that such ignorance can even be seriously repeated in public
And yet, you do it the same way... funny isn't it?

Can Slashdot just put a link to Google Blog on left navigation bar, instead of posting each story from it? And that too late by an eon!

http://operawatch.blogspot.com/2005/07/opera-to-st op-spoofing-user-agent-as.html

I read EVERYTHING on my PDA phone. 99% of my browsing, posting and e-mail is performed there. Sites that don't support me don't get viewed, and as time goes on, there will be more like me.

I've spent thousands annually subscribing to websites that support my PDA. Slashdot was actually one of the first. Google does it as well. I can't wait to see what happens as mobile browsers become more available.

I just picked up the Samsung t809 phone and can browse the web via Mini Opera (or my PDA synced via Bluetooth). Getting 150kbps downloads through T-Mobile's EDGE, so most websites are instantaneous even on the road (yeah, it's safe, sure it is).

There are webmasters that have e-mailed me back saying they'd never support a tiny screen. I don't see how you can ignore the amount of phones that read more than just WAP -- many are HTML compliant with just a little software addition. Give it time and I bet we'll see popular sites getting more than 5% of their users from tiny screens.

"seriously-do-you-need-more-proof?"

As much as I am starting to dislike the editorial filter that Slashdot has and Digg avoids, let me just say in response:
Proof of warming does not equate to proof Kyoto is a good idea.

Even the planners agree that all countries participating for a century would do almost nothing for the projected warming. Recently, the non-Kyoto-signer US has had higher economic growth and greater improvements on GHGs than the Kyoto signers of the EU. Do you need any more proof that it's the wrong approach?

Perhaps instead of a half-ass non-solution, we should fund more research for true, viable alternatives. I want bettery batteries, solar, and fusion to all be so cheap that any GHG emitting methods of energy generation and storage aren't used because of their economic cost.

Arbitrarily trying to limit carbon emissions, when billions of people who embrace modernity need energy and don't have alternatives, is a bad idea. Here is a good article by Bjorn Lomborg on the The relative unimportance of global warming, with better policy suggestions.

I will gladly take the exact opposite opinion:

The new game enhancements are atrocious. The interface is horrible. The combat, while more exciting, is still "stand-there-and-click-the-next-attack", but the click/keyboard press order has just been changed around a little. Ohh.... and the fact that you have to keep your target in the crosshairs in a non-collision world is ridiculous.

The game is pretty much hollow now. The servers, compared to a year ago, are ghost towns of their former selves. I'm a HUGE SW fan. In fact, the only reason I even started playing an MMO was because it was a Star Wars MMO. Nevertheless, Sony and Lucasarts managed to completely screw up the one hobby I truly enjoyed playing in my evening free time. I survived the combat upgrade ok, but the NGE is completely off the wall. The Sony track record of "Hey... let's screw over our veteran players" is why the majority of the veteran SWG players have left the game! The game is dumbed down enough to where my 4 year old would probably enjoy it.

You can read (in mind-numbing detail) all about why I left SWG here: Clicky.

Photos and one blogger's experience of the Marfa Lights.

Two of the larger examples I would point out are Howard Dean and Micheal Moore.

Two days ago my roomate asked me what I thought about Bush's quote, "It's just a G*dd@mn piece of paper". When I said I suspected that was a hoax, since I doubt any politician in this country would be foolish enough to say something, she wouldn't believe me, because to her and her friends it was just a confirmation of what they believe to be true (that Bush would say something like that). Five minutes later with Google showed that every article about that was linked back to one blogger, who never linked his article.

Guess what I am doing (over) today? LOL

I have created a formula similar in intent, but much simpler in practice, to determine the most underappreciated movies of a given year:

Link

Just blank it, slap on the cover of January 2006's Vanity Fair and you'll distract all the Wikipedians (or at least half of them) as you spam it with your views of how life began. ;)

When we were first considering making Epic Legends Of The Hierarchs available as a publically manageable satirical metanarrative, we dropped the basic timeline on Wikipedia because I liked the way their software went about things. Of course, a phalanx of pedants leapt into action almost immediately to scour - from the sacred corpus of their data - our revolting fancruft.

This is about right:
For the most part these are young people who lack both the experience to comment sensibly on real-life experiences, and the patience or depth to comprehend theoretical abstractions. And, like nearly everyone else in these United States, they think that first-class writing is distinguished not by clarity but by opacity.

So they pick topics that will not get them called for ignorance -- because their editors don't know about them, and nobody else cares about them: comic books, movies, TV shows, celebrity bloggers, etc. On such bare themes the young Turks hang words, metaphors, subordinate clauses and apothegms in (their articles suggest) whatever order they happen to come to minds only hazily acquainted with the rules and traditions of English composition.

Like all amateur artisans, they lay their materials on thick. When they make a mistake or intuit how lost they are, they just add more. Eventually the accretion is so monstrous that it seemes singular: maybe, the budding authors muse, this is what they mean by style.

As an anti-patent, anti-copyright anarchocapitalist, I wonder if we should just support every patent that is applied for and see if the entire system can come crashing down. Eventually it will cost companies more to enforce their patents than they're receiving from the "protection" they get out of them, right?

I can not, for the life of me, see how patents give people reason to research and develop new ideas. If someone is going to capitalize on your idea, they'll modify the process and create a patent of their own. Look at every cell phone that is released with 5 new patents, and the "bootlegs" of those phones that are released just 6-12 months later. What the heck is the point of patenting something that isn't of value even a year down the line?

The typical slashdot response to my anti-patent opinion is that prescription drugs wouldn't be researched, but the majority of the people actually researching these drugs aren't the ones who gain billions in profits from the discovery. You may not see megacorps working on solutions, but the biggest medical developments in human history came originally from a few researchers, not megalabs that spend billions and release drugs that addict and kill their users.

Come on, people, don't you see that there is no solution to this legal racketeering other than dismantling the entire system? Competitition is good for consumers, anti-competitive government force is terrible. In the end, we all pay with our pocketbooks (to enforce these legal monopolies) and with our lives (when imperfect drugs/safety devices/whatever can not be perfected by competition). Let's start looking at what made this country great -- open competition.

Microsoft isn't the only patent abuser. Maybe its time for someone to research (and blog?) about every patent abusing lawsuit that hits the courts, and see how consumer choice is severely hampered by the ridiculous protection of ideas.

Not really. FLAC's metadata is nearly trivial to extract. With the aid of FLAC's format page and Python's "struct" module, I was pulling out the Vorbis comments in about in an hour. From there, it's a simple matter to add those tags to LAME's arguments when piping from FLAC to LAME for the transcoding.

There's always a way, sometimes it just takes a while to find/implement it. The Perl Audio Converter I used not too long ago was very simple to use but getting all the dependicies together to make it play nice was a pain. At any rate, for the purpose of converting and keeping the metadata intact, it worked great.

More to the point of the original story though--I think the majority of /. folks would do their own ripping before sending their CD collections off to have someone else do it for them. I did mention the concept to a friend as a thought to add to his media business services though for the rest of the world who are too busy or lazy to rip their own but still want thier collection on their iPod or whatever. I wouldn't think you'd want to consider this business model for your sole source of income, but as a value-added service why not?

FLAC is overkill unless you want to rebuild your audio CDs in their pristine state. If your are going strictly for archival purposes, FLAC is the way to go.

And format changes. MP3? OGG? WMA? AAC? not-yet-released-format X? FLAC is definately the most future-proof format, and the cost of a 250GB HDD is nothing like the time spent ripping. Even within a format there are many different encoders and qualities. FLAC is a way to be able to always change your mind.

But you are basically saying the same thing I am. If you are going for archival purposes then FLAC is the way to go--whether you are rebuilding CD Audio or new Vorbis or MP3 files. Same difference...

I like buying on-line music in FLAC format, for example when I purchase from places like Magnatune or Live Metallica. I keep those FLAC files and then covert them into whatever I need. Perfect quality files to start with since I am not getting a physical CD with my purchase...

I see your point though, if you dump to FLAC first you can easily batch convert those files into whatever other codec you wish. A really quick way to media shift your entire collection in one easy CLI command. Moving metadata with the media shift is the real trick though, eh? Also, it's going to be a while before portable players have the kind of storage your taking about. There again, FLAC for archiving is great, but you have to consider other formats for more general usages...

Long post short(er), I agree--FLAC is the ideal to use to archive your CD collection as media shifting from that point is a snap. Still, Vorbis at q=6 is pretty good too and not going away either, since it's a patent-free open codec. Not lossless of course, but good enough for my purposes...

How timely... I just wrote an article on how you can rip anything that is piped through your sound card.

Shameless self-promotion:

How to capture audio from any source

Pierre Chappaz, the former president of Yahoo Europe, claims to have a source, whom he says is generally very well informed, who told him that Google is planning on buying the Opera web browser.
...
An Opera official outright denied this claim, after I asked about it, saying "Rumors come and go. Google is not buying Opera."

I have been fighting telemarketers for 5 months now and its great to see the FTC finally get involved.My main problem came from telemarketers using a 206 area code. A Seattle phone company, Marathon Communications (800 919 1000), provides phone numbers and acts as a buffer for the telemarketers. They use a fake name on caller ID (TMC,card services,Sat.inc etc) and a fake number you can't call back (206 415 8940,206 415 8880, 206 415 8547 etc). When you call Marathon they won't give you the identity of the business that called you unless you subpoena them, which is what my Attorney General did. One company was Guardian Communications (309 277 1222) 3322 38th.ave Moline IL.61265. They called people on the DNC list,used illegal recorded messages,and called cell phones.They sold the numbers they got to DirecTV and Dish Network. North Carolina sued them for this two weeks ago. Calls from illegal telemarketers is a huge problem and the DirecTV case is just the tip of the iceburg. Visit http://www.anti206.blogspot.com/ for more info. or to join the antitelemarketer fight.

I'm not going to send my CDs to one of these services, I have been in the process of ripping my entire collection to Vorbis for quite some time. No rush, I have a lot done--enough to entertain me while I am in the process of finishing the rest...

Read the reviews:

A review of 6 Python IDEs

Among the errors is the origin of the OS that the servers ran, a System V variant called DG/UX. From the cited incorrect version (22 July 2005):

The first systems in the series were released in the summer of 1989, followed by a series of speed-bumped versions over the next few years. All of these systems ran a version of System V Unix written for them by Santa Cruz Operation, known as DG/UX, to which they added NUMA support.

And in the current version:

The machines ran a System V Unix variant known as DG/UX, largely developed at the company's Research Triangle Park facility. DG/UX had previously run on the company's family of MV/Eclipse 32-bit minicomputers (the successors to Nova and the 16-bit Eclipse minis) but only in a very secondary role to the MV/Eclispse mainstay AOS/VS and AOS/VS II operating systems.

Night and day. And there was more (quote from the Register letters article):

"It's also interesting to observe in the main Data General article how many "futzing around" edits there are. A link polished here, a comma there, etc. Yet this article as a whole is incredibly poorly organized with no real narrative flow. And what storyline exists is wrong in significant ways; it's not even internally consistent," he writes.

"The whole lock-in or no lock-in paragraph is 75% nonsense (it seems to imply that DG went to Unix because it couldn't afford to develop a SQL database? Yet, further down the article correctly notes that DG HAD a SQL database already.) The AViiON section mixes timeframes and contains multiple out-and-out errors, etc. (I suspect that the first couple of sections source their information largely from Soul of A New Machine and seem fairly accurate and cogent, but then it falls apart.) But that would all take work and expertise to fix."

"Easier to twiddle than create," he concludes.

And they have a search revenue sharing deal with Opera very similar to what they have in place with Firefox (except for that thing about hiring Firefox developers to work on their own product). So they've got business relationships with both browsers already.

Power to the people!!!

No, no. You mean power to the individual. Power to the people gives you big government that gives power to the elite.

Power to the individual!

Stupid not to preview to check the link. Here's that link again:

Chappaz's blog

Icon #4 wasn't Firefox's icon, though it was similar. In particular, all of their test icons were landscape rectangles, and the broadcast waves in icon #4 were oriented left-to-right. Firefox's icon is square, with the broadcast waves oriented diagonally from lower left to upper right.

They did state that "The Firefox icon is close, but it lacks the rectangular dimension" (they wanted to match the look of the classic XML and RSS buttons without relying on text).

What's news here is that they not only recognized that Firefox got it right, but they made an agreement to use exactly the same icon.

"Collaboration" is a stretch, but coming on the heels of last month's Microsoft/Mozilla/Opera/KDE SSL validation and anti-phishing summit and Opera's plans to adopt other browsers' terminology where their own differs, it suggests a new pattern in which vendors are still competing on features and implementation, but beginning to collaborate on user experience.

Perhaps not, but it is a much easier issue to solve.

I mean, IE and Firefox still disagree over whether to use the term "Favorites" or "Bookmarks." (And didn't IE start out trying to use "shortcuts" instead of "links"?) Opera's finally tumbling to the fact that their "Pages" are everyone else's "Tabs," and plans on tweaking Opera 9 to help unify UI behavior across browsers.

On top of that, serious filesharers don't use Kazaa anyway; they all use Limewire instead.

A good number of them are beginning to find offense in the attempts to remove the Christian aspects of Christmas.

No one is attempting to "remove the Christian aspects of Christmas". As stated previously, there are damn few of them anyway, few enough that many of the popular "mega-churches" are closing on Christmas. But those who want those elements are welcome to them and no one is trying to stop them from celebrating Christmas in their own way - in their own time and on their own property.

But a few loudmouth kooks in the theocratic right are attempting to get people to act as if Christmas is the only holiday that anyone is celebrating this time of year, to act as if anyone not celebrating Christmas is in the wrong.

I didn't shop at Target this year because they excluded the Salvation Army from collecting at there stores.

That's a misleading statement. Target doesn't allow anyone to engage in solicitation or petitioning at their stores regardless of the cause being represented. They used to not enforce this policy on the SA. They've just made their policy consistent and non-discriminatory. And they've still partnered with the SA for Katrina relief, and many stores have made grants to local SA chapters.

Just as I have heard that the Homosexual community is suggesting that it's members shouldn't buy cars from Ford because Ford doesn't advertise in Gay media outlets the Christian community is deciding that should do it's Christmas shopping at stores that support there life style choices. It is no different.

Legally, they're on equal footing, certainly we can all choose who we do business with. Ethically, they're completely different. Ford has slapped the gay community in the face (and shot itself in the wallet) by caving to homophobes and withdrawing ads from magazines serving the gay community. Message: we don't want gays as customers. Ok, Ford can do that, and gays and their friends can say, "Well, fuck you then Ford, I'm buying a Toyota."

Target is declining to slap non-Christians in the face, declining an exclusive "Merry X-mas" in favor of an inclusive "Happy Holidays". Message: whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, the Solstice, Festivus, Bodhi Day, Ramadan, New Year's Day, whatever holiday floats your boat, c'mon in and buy our stuff. It takes a twisted, bigoted mind to take offense at that.

(Though I'm still not shopping at Target until they stop allowing employees to deny women access to health care and guarantee access to prescriptions without discrimination or delay; medical care trumps holiday banners, Target.)

Adwords does placement on more than just the cost-per-click. This fact is spelled out all over their website, try something like https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?a nswer=10215&topic=114 :

"We want to ensure that your keywords get a fair chance to run and that we do all we can to properly gauge their performance. We use a Quality Score to do this. Each keyword is given a Quality Score based on data specific to your account, including your keyword's clickthrough rate (CTR), relevance of ad text, historical keyword performance, the quality of your ad's landing page, and other relevancy factors.

Quality Score = keyword's CTR + relevance of your ad text + historical keyword performance + other relevancy factors

Your keyword's Quality Score and maximum CPC (at the keyword or Ad Group level) determine your ad's rank on Google search and content sites. (For the top positions above Google search results, however, we use your keyword's actual CPC.) Remember that improving the relevance of your ad text and keywords will increase your keyword's Quality Score and reduce the price you pay when someone clicks on your ad."

If you start a new campaign, it is no wonder that Google will not be able to give you the same placement as with a campaign that has run for years. It's new, it's unknown, the visitors / clicks are unknown, heck - even the cost-per-click value is jumping around. It looks weird to the system, it gets placed lower or even removed from some of the results.

What happens in the end: those who target properly (right keywords) and have a good ad copy get lots of clicks, those clicks end up making your placement better (while paying the same amount of money). The users are voting for your ad (whether they buy or not is partially unknown to Google -- "partially" because you can track it through Google if you want to).

A new factor coming into play is the landing page - the page that the ad takes you to. According to their blog ( http://adwords.blogspot.com/ ) they are now evaluating the quality of the landing page. So if you search for "children" and click on the "Get children at ebay" ad, and the page they link to does not offer "children", then sooner or later (heh, hard to guess, it depends on the amount of automatisation behind the checks) Google will either remove the ad or move it down, while the advertiser is still paying the same amount per click.

Is that evil? Is that being greedy? or is that just watching out for the "user experience"?

It really was pointless for MS to try to rush this system out for Christmas in Japan

Regardless of what the Japanese get up to over Christmas and the New Year, the start of December sees most people getting a winter bonus, with the average this year being somewhere around 850,000 yen, or around US$7,000, so it makes sense to try to get the XBox out at the start of December.

page of my blog with the incident details

It costs money to get multiple people way across the country to the court. I cant spand that kind of cash to try and recover less.

Transporting people, hotel rooms, Lawyer costs $29.00 as I have legal insurance and only have to cover a co-pay.

most of the costs are incidentals that the court will not give you in a settlement.

http://www.free60.org/wiki/Main_Page Of course, the main project to get linux up and running, got some pretty decent technical breakdowns - looks like they are using the NAND flash for boot!!! On the surface, this is very encouraging but I still thing they will find some very difficult secure booting obsticles (key could be stored on cpu etc) Hell they did this with the hidden rom in the xbox.
Sorry to ramble, but all this CP and TC crap reminds me of the simstim decks in neuromancer that had all of the electronics embedded in a near indestructible epoxy like compound, that would zero the software if any xray or sonic scans were done to examine the device. (Which in themselves remind me of IBM's secure cryptoprocessors) And yeah, I agree, getting Linux running will have limited benefit in utilizing cheap hardware. The benefit will be dealing a SERIOUS blow to Treacherous Computing (the xbox 360 is the beta, guys, believe it)

This is important insight. I wrote about a recent article from the UPI regarding studying children who haven't been vaccinated and how they didn't find one case of autism.

We're needing more studies by independent researchers into childhood diseases and problems. I personally don't trust the AMA, but I also don't trust anecdotal evidence. I have a friend who believes that AIDS occurs from a mutation, not blood/fluid exchange. He's a tinfoil investor, but there is research out there by the medical community that just doesn't seem all that trustworthy.

The biggest concern of mine is how much money is wasted when someone says "it is for the children!!!" I care about the welfare of the people, but not at the expense of everyone else.
