Burn the bible

Around three months ago, a group of researchers at CMU discovered a property inherent in the EM spectrum used in van Eck phreaking.

That links to one of those trendy idiotic barcode-like images that can be read with a smartphone. You thought you'd use a short URL to redirect to a Google-hosted image so someone can hold their smartphone up to the screen to decode whatever tripe you're trying to show them. Instead of just directly linking so they can just directly view it with whatever browser they are already using. Brilliant. This is a classic case of jury rigging, Afro Engineering, whatever you wanna call it.

Tho I agree about burning the Koran. We should do that. We should also draw cartoons of the prophet Mohammed and post them everywhere. On every web site and every frigging lamp post. Not because I hate Muslims. I don't hate Muslims. What I do hate is when one group, any group, thinks they are more important and more special than all the others, when they think even those who are not members of their group should conform to their group. Right now, that's Muslims.

I just think they need to grow up and accept that people who are not Muslims are not interested in conforming to Muslim norms and rules. Y'know, the exact same thing that Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Pagans, Wiccans, Taoists, Hindus, and others are expected to tolerate and accept on a daily basis. Christians in particular used to get violent and oppressive over their religion, like the Inquisition. You know what everyone including Christians calls that time? They call it the Dark Ages. Why do Muslims want to repeat the same mistake?

For some reason Muslims are encouraged to be hypersensitive about their religion. Well really everybody is encouraged to be hypersensitive about their group identity except whites and Christians. Difference is it's the Muslims who are getting violent about it. The rest of them are still belligerent and pretty damn childish about it. When people see that they don't respect it, they think "wow what a bunch of primitive savages". That isn't helping them and it isn't helping the people around them. What they need is some systematic desensitization.

Say what you want about religion, but Catholicism has helped shape young minds to be fit for the workplace far better than the exceptional, honest scientist. The fact is that deep in the scientific subtext is a dangerous idea -- that if you remove any assumptions about social order, and begin applying science to your own life, your own personality and your own standards, that you can blindside the least desirable bits of the established order with your own ideas.

That leaves us with how to keep the wheels greased. The key notion is that American culture is not worth rescuing. Why would a child eat or want to be a STEM or any other kind of vegetable when he or she can feast on sugar? Foreign students are doing the work of getting the proper education just fine on their own -- the only metric is that there are enough of these professionals to wind up as the necessary cogs of industry. Indoctrinated, of course, with necessary subtext -- limit your interests to your own field, and never consider the implications in a broader context. Also, contracts are binding and non-negotiable; of course your mindshare is of the company's benefit solely.

To think of the average American child, therefore, we need only appeal to economics. I will take for given the idea that public schools are inefficient. That granted, the Catholic Church has considerable infrastructure already in place to take over a large breadth of education. Coursework would be greatly simplified into the substance necessary: respect for authority. The price of a penis entering an anus in a normative corrective context could not possibly be lower, and this would be a critical part of education. Instead of a standardized test, we would get back to the individual teacher having discretion on which students pass; the metric would be solely if the child exhibits the necessary rate of submission.

In conclusion, we must affirm our societal values by applying them economically; these are corporate values at their best. Time-honored and conservative; easy to relate to and understand. Christian in every way.

This makes me pretty mad as well; any and all GPS tracking should require a warrant. Period. Sad thing is, with just about any cell phone, you can be tracked just by your position in relation to cell phone towers--not to mention all the devices that are GPS-enabled--without your knowledge.

Not sure how legal they are, but there are GPS-jamming devices that can be had for relatively cheap: http://goo.gl/4TUL6 . The problem with those is neither you nor the cars around you will be able to use GPS navigation either...

Google just implemented an Alpha version of their new 'do not track'. It appeared on my home page today. There was a link that said Do Not Allow Google to Track My Info. Worked like a charm as far as I can tell.

You seem to be doing some confusing line treading when you state try to have it both ways. Apple doesn't track you, according to you, because the file exists "locally" only (which is not confirmed) and not sent back to Apple.

Um...No..See that's actually been pretty well established at this point that the data collection is basically a location log gathered via pinging cell towers on the device itself (not GPS) and isn't transmitted back to Apple either directly from the iPhone or via iTunes (barring data retention on iPhone backup files): http://goo.gl/iHxq3

It's also been clear from the beginning of this whole issue that it wasn't believed to be the case: http://goo.gl/Jmcfg

But then later you seem to suggest that Apple's EULA says they they do track users. Steve Jobs can't have it both ways, and neither can you.

Sorry about the confusion on that last point, I suppose I should've been more clear. In regards to Apple, when I talked about the EULA and support pages in my previous post you were correct that I was referring to information gathered for advertising purposes, not potentially personally identifiable location information, hence the point I was trying to make was that it didn't strike me that Apple is any more obfuscatory about the information it collects and transmits back than Google is by comparison.

Just as a side note, I feel I should also add that the reason I'm actually much more likely to trust Apple's honesty regarding their policies because they primarily make money off their hardware sales, whereas Google's primary source of revenue is advertising (and they're well known for collecting and retaining personal information en masse) so IMO that gives them a much better motivation to lie about their data collection/retention policies than Apple. ;)

That said, most of your argument is "Apple doesn't track you, your iPhone does. It only becomes Apple tracking you if they upload the file."

I feel like that's a pretty silly argument.

Perhaps, but I don't think it's necessarily an invalid one though. Anyone (myself included) who does development/diagnostic work on any kind of electronic device and software can tell you that logging is an invaluable resource for troubleshooting and improving software/overall device performance and stability so I think it's an important to make the distinction between logging device information locally and transmitting information for "tracking."

On that note I'd like to ask you yet again (as I'm honestly curious to know) why you view this whole situation with the iPhone as being any different from your computer and/or server being setup by default to automatically log potentially personally identifiable information about your usage but not upload those logs back to the developers of the OS?

Because if you don't consider what I just described to be tracking, but you do consider it in regards to the iPhone in the case, then somehow I can't help but think that you might actually be the one who's trying to have it both ways here...;)

Thanks to seeing this on the news, I've written an AppleScript called iPhone Geotag. It uses the location data to tag Places for your pictures in iPhoto. Brings a happy ending to this scandal, eh? Check it out on: http://goo.gl/OQzfB

If the datacenter is really where the video shows it to be (I have doubts), then it would be about 1/2 a mile from steel and metal recycling facility.

Recycling raw materials has been common practice in manufacturing for decades. And if you can't reuse that material in-house, then you do what you must to get the best price/lowest cost to get it the hell off site. My guess is that they get a better return on pre-shredded metal and get the assurance that some red-neck isn't going to take a truck load of their 'specially manufactured' drives, write "Samsung" on them with a Sharpie, and then try to sell them at the Charleston Market for $5 each.

Being the OP of the article, you are completely wrong. I had no problem reproducing it on stock, unrooted phones. Research, then comment. Test it? Still doubt? Once its fixed I will release source.

But benchmarks of latest FF, prove that FF once again beats Chrome. Yay!

And those dreams about expected modes of Mars (space, generally) travel, extrapolating (not understanding, generally) rates of early progress, turned out to be wrong. Kinda similar to dreams about flying horses, chairs, carpets, or those airplanes from "our" times (imagined during rapid advances of marine tech; and we can even build them - take a Harrier, remove wings and canopy... still a horrible idea vs. "boring" reality). It's a sign of limited imagination when people want to hear about the grandiose, fabulous, "awesome" style of exploration typical of scifi (works of fiction); when they expect something palatable, nothing too uncomfortable and alien from Earthly experiences. Bonus: it's much easier to write...

Or consider how the "spaceplanes" came to dominate scifi... around the 40s, during rapid advances of airplane tech (I can see a pattern...); how the designers and decision-makers of the Shuttle were undoubtedly raised on those works of fiction. And how they gave us an analogue of Catalina, at best (Spruce Goose, at worst); something which, again, looked very soothing to public already quite accustomed to airliners / Concorde. And which probably robbed as at least of a decade of progress; was obsolete (with automatic rendezvous & docking done in the 60s) before it seriously got onto drawing boards.

Ultimately, people will continue being upset how the space travel will most likely remain fundamentally different from earthly experiences. Afraid to face the absolutely wild realities of existing universe. In the meantime, how many even realize that we can already send people when they are miniaturized and in deep hibernation and that dozens of thousands people on Earth are past the procedure? Heck, give me one medium launcher + few dozen million bucks, and I can transport at least a thousand viable humans practically to anywhere in our system.

Furthermore, crash projects in the style of Apollo turned out to be unsustainable even for the Moon. But do you realize how much work went and still goes into eventual human deep space missions?

(and fuel efficiency determines cruise speeds, not top speed achievable during design stage / the difference in meaningless with other time sinks and considering how much more people modern airliners are able to transport; airlines often adjust the cruising speeds up or down few km/h for fuel efficiency anyway; also, were you ever close to a landing 707? That was the only aircraft I experienced that managed to be really irritatingly loud... in a center of 700k+ city (one approach to the airport at its periphery takes the planes over center, still few hundred m up))

Anyone got a compilation of these kinds of anti-piracy tricks?
