TCP/IP Enabled Lego Brick

An anonymous reader submits: "Yesterday, Olaf Christ announced that he has the world's first TCP/IP-enabled Lego brick that can be used as a web server. Imagine the possibilities of connecting your collection of Lego Mindstorms to the Internet! He has ported the extremely small uIP TCP/IP stack to the Lego Mindstorms platform. uIP has also been used to run a Commodore 64 as a web server, and is ported to the 8-bit Ataris and laptop keyboard microcontrollers."

TCP/IP enabled ANUX brick...

[Trolligula]

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

• Linus Torvalds is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
• Richard M. Stallman, spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
• Alan Cox is barely an anagram of anal cox which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexuallover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.

Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.

In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the 'Slack-wear' fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of claw arse, a reference to the homosexual practice of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for dark amen and ram naked, which is what they do.

Another 'distro,' (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like 'Disco,' which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of in a bed, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. 'Woody' is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase 'Frozen Potato' that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual 'Sauce Code,' refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.

And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.

The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the 'supermount' tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. 'Automount' is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.

The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of 'mount points.' These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously /anus, but there are others. Militant fags even say 'there is no /opt mount point' because for these dirty perverts faggotry is not optional but a way of life.

More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love `man`, even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out `man`. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.

Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the 'FAQ,' but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!

Even the title 'Slashdot' originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.eff.org/.

The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: 'Hemos' is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from 'Homos.' But even more sickening is 'Commander Taco' which sounds a bit like 'Commode in Taco,' filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement . (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these 'Taco Commodes' have special 'Salsa Sauce' (blood from a ruptured rectum) and 'Cheese' (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!

The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, the Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.

And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.

To summarise: Linux is gay. 'Slash -- Dot' is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled 'stumpers.'

FEEDBACK

What worries me is how much you know about what gay people do. I'm scared I actually read this whole thing. I think this post is a good example of the negative effects of Internet usage on people. This person obviously has no social life anymore and had to result to writing something as stupid as this. And actually take the time to do it too. Although... I think it was satire.. blah.. it's early. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Well, the only reason I know all about this is because I had the misfortune to read the Linux 'Sauce code' once. Although publicised as the computer code needed to get Linux up and running on a computer (and haven't you always been worried about the phrase 'Monolithic Kernel'?), this foul document is actually a detailed and graphic description of every conceivable degrading perversion known to the human race, as well as a few of the major animal species. It has shocked and disturbed me, to the point of needing to shock and disturb the common man to warn them of the impending homo-calypse which threatens to engulf our planet.

You must work for the government. Trying to post the most obscene stuff in hopes that slashdot won't be able to continue or something, due to legal woes. If i ever see your ugly face, i'm going to stick my fireplace poker up your ass, after it's nice and hot, to weld shut that nasty gaping hole of yours. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Doesn't it give you a hard-on to imagine your thick strong poker ramming it's way up my most sacred of sphincters? You're beyond help, my friend, as the only thing you can imagine is the foul penetrative violation of another man. Are you sure you're not Eric Raymond? The government, being populated by limp-wristed liberals, could never stem the sickening tide of homosexual child molesting Linux advocacy. Hell, they've given NAMBLA free reign for years!

you really should post this logged in. i wish i could remember jebus's password, cuz i'd give it to you. -- mighty jebus, Slashdot

Thank you for your kind words of support. However, this document shall only ever be posted anonymously. This is because the 'Open Sauce' movement is a sham, proposing homoerotic cults of hero worshipping in the name of freedom. I speak for the common man. For any man who prefers the warm, enveloping velvet folds of a woman's vagina to the tight puckered ringpiece of a child. These men, being common, decent folk, don't have a say in the political hypocrisy that is Slashdot culture. I am the unknown liberator.

ROLF LAMO i hate linux FAGGOTS -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

We shouldn't hate them, we should pity them for the misguided fools they are... Fanatical Linux zeal-outs need to be herded into camps for re-education and subsequent rehabilitation into normal heterosexual society. This re-education shall be achieved by forcing them to watch repeats of Baywatch until the very mention of Pamela Anderson causes them to fill their pants with healthy heterosexual jism.

Actually, that's not at all how scrotal inflation works. I understand it involves injecting sterile saline solution into the scrotum. I've never tried this, but you can read how to do it safely in case you're interested. (Before you moderate this down, ask yourself honestly -- who are the real crazies -- people who do scrotal inflation, or people who pay $1000+ for a game console?) -- double_h, Slashdot

Well, it just goes to show that even the holy Linux 'sauce code' is riddled with bugs that need fixing. (The irony of Jon Katz not even being able to inflate his scrotum correctly has not been lost on me.) The Linux pervert elite already acknowledge this, with their queer slogan: 'Given enough arms, all rectums are shallow.' And anyway, the PS2 sucks major cock and isn't worth the money. Intellivision forever!

dude did u used to post on msnbc's nt bulletin board now that u are doing anti-gay posts u also need to start in with anti-black stuff too c u in church -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

For one thing, whilst Linux is a cavalcade of queer propaganda masquerading as the future of computing, NT is used by people who think nothing better of encasing their genitals in quick setting plaster then going to see a really dirty porno film, enjoying the restriction enforced onto them. Remember, a wasted arousal is a sin in the eyes of the Catholic church. Clearly, the only god-fearing Christian operating system in existence is CP/M -- The Christian Program Monitor. All computer users should immediately ask their local pastor to install this fine OS onto their systems. It is the only route to salvation.

Secondly, this message is for every man. Computers know no colour. Not only that, but one of the finest websites in the world is maintained by a Black Man . Now fuck off you racist donkey felcher.

And don't forget that slashdot was written in Perl, which is just too close to 'Pearl Necklace' for comfort.... oh wait; that's something all you heterosexuals do.... I can't help but wonder how much faster the trolls could do First-Posts on this site if it were redone in PHP... I could hand-type dynamic HTML pages faster than Perl can do them. -- phee, Slashdot

Although there is nothing unholy about the fine heterosexual act of ejaculating between a woman's breasts, squirting one's load up towards her neck and chin area, it should be noted that Perl (standing for Pansies Entering Rectums Locally) is also close to 'Pearl Monocle,' 'Pearl Nosering,' and the ubiquitous 'Pearl Enema.'

One scary thing about Perl is that it contains hidden homosexual messages. Take the following code: LWP::Simple -- It looks innocuous enough, doesn't it? But look at the line closely: There are two colons next to each other! As Larry 'Balls to the' Wall would openly admit in the Perl Documentation, Perl was designed from the ground up to indoctrinate it's programmers into performing unnatural sexual acts -- having two colons so closely together is clearly a reference to the perverse sickening act of 'colon kissing,' whereby two homosexual queers spread their buttocks wide, pressing their filthy torn sphincters together. They then share small round objects like marbles or golfballs by passing them from one rectum to another using muscle contraction alone. This is also referred to in programming 'circles' as 'Parameter Passing.'

And PHP stands for Perverted Homosexual Penetration. Didn't you know?

Thank you for your valuable input on this. I am sure you will be never forgotten. BTW: Did I mention that this could be useful in terraforming Mars? Mars rulaa. -- Eimernase, Slashdot

Well, I don't know about terraforming Mars, but I do know that homosexual Linux Advocates have been probing Uranus for years.

That's inspiring. Keep up the good work, AC. May God in his wisdom grant you the strength to bring the plain honest truth to this community, and make it pure again. Yours, Cerberus. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

*sniff* That brings a tear to my eye. Thank you once more for your kind support. I have taken faith in the knowledge that I am doing the Good Lord's work, but it is encouraging to know that I am helping out the common man here.

However, I should be cautious about revealing your name 'Cerberus' on such a filthy den of depravity as Slashdot. It is a well known fact that the 'Kerberos' documentation from Microsoft is a detailed manual describing, in intimate, exacting detail, how to sexually penetrate a variety of unwilling canine animals; be they domesticated, wild, or mythical. Slashdot posters have taken great pleasure in illegally spreading this documentation far and wide, treating it as an 'extension' to the Linux 'Sauce Code,' for the sake of 'interoperability.' (The slang term they use for nonconsensual intercourse -- their favourite kind.)

In fact, sick twisted Linux deviants are known to have LAN parties, (Love of Anal Naughtiness, needless to say.), wherein they entice a stray dog, known as the 'Samba Mount,' into their homes. Up to four of these filth-sodden blasphemers against nature take turns to plunge their erect, throbbing, uncircumcised members, conkers-deep, into the rectum, mouth, and other fleshy orifices of the poor animal. Eventually, the 'Samba Mount' collapses due to 'overload,' and needs to be 'rebooted.' (i.e., kicked out into the street, and left to fend for itself.) Many Linux users boast about their 'uptime' in such situations.

Inspiring stuff! If only all trolls were this quality! -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

If only indeed. You can help our brave cause by moderating this message up as often as possible. I recommend '+1, Underrated,' as that will protect your precious Karma in Metamoderation. Only then can we break through the glass ceiling of Homosexual Slashdot Culture. Is it any wonder that the new version of Slashcode has been christened 'Bender'???

If we can get just one of these postings up to at least '+1,' then it will be archived forever! Others will learn of our struggle, and join with us in our battle for freedom!

It's pathetic you've spent so much time writing this. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I am compelled to document the foulness and carnal depravity that is Linux, in order that we may prepare ourselves for the great holy war that is to follow. It is my solemn duty to peel back the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wire brush of enlightenment.

As with any great open-source project, you need someone asking this question, so I'll do it. When the hell is version 2.0 going to be ready?!?! -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I could make an arrogant, childish comment along the lines of 'Every time someone asks for 2.0, I won't release it for another 24 hours,' but the truth of the matter is that I'm quite nervous of releasing a 'number two,' as I can guarantee some filthy shit-slurping Linux pervert would want to suck it straight out of my anus before I've even had chance to wipe.

I desperately want to suck your monolithic kernel, you sexy hunk, you. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I sincerely hope you're Natalie Portman.

Dude, nothing on slashdot larger than 3 paragraphs is worth reading. Try to distill the message, whatever it was, and maybe I'll read it. As it is, I have to much open source software to write to waste even 10 seconds of precious time. 10 seconds is all its gonna take M$ to whoop Linux's ass. Vigilence is the price of Free (as in libre -- from the fine, frou frou French language) Software. Hack on fellow geeks, and remember: Friday is Bouillabaisse day except for heathens who do not believe that Jesus died for their sins. Those godless, oil drench, bearded sexist clowns can pull grits from their pantaloons (another fine, fine French word) and eat that. Anyway, try to keep your message focused and concise. For concision is the soul of derision. Way. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

What the fuck?

I've read your gay conspiracy post version 1.3.0 and I must say I'm impressed. In particular, I appreciate how you have managed to squeeze in a healthy dose of the latent homosexuality you gay-bashing homos tend to be full of. Thank you again. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Well bugger me!

ooooh honey. how insecure are you!!! wann a little massage from deare bruci. love you -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Fuck right off!

IMPORTANT: This message needs to be heard (Not HURD , which is an acronym for 'Huge Unclean Rectal Dilator') across the whole community, so it has been released into the Public Domain. You know, that licence that we all had before those homoerotic crypto-fascists came out with the GPL (Gay Penetration License) that is no more than an excuse to see who's got the biggest feces-encrusted cock. I would have put this up on Freshmeat, but that name is known to be a euphemism for the tight rump of a young boy.

Come to think of it, the whole concept of 'Source Control' unnerves me, because it sounds a bit like 'Sauce Control,' which is a description of the homosexual practice of holding the base of the cock shaft tightly upon the point of ejaculation, thus causing a build up of semenal fluid that is only released upon entry into an incision made into the base of the receiver's scrotum. And 'Open Sauce' is the act of ejaculating into another mans face or perhaps a biscuit to be shared later. Obviously, 'Closed Sauce' is the only Christian thing to do, as evidenced by the fact that it is what Cathedrals are all about.

I don't know what's got into my Mindstorms (TM)

Re:I don't know what's got into my Mindstorms (TM)

[Anonymous Coward]

This really isnt very funny. I give it a 2 at best.

Re:I don't know what's got into my Mindstorms (TM)

[Anonymous Coward]

I didn't read the article, but I'd like to comment on the whole Lego fanatacism hear on slashdot. Whilst I enjoy building vehicles, buildings and chairs from Legos, it really does make a difference when you get to using the mind-Storm sets. Even Microsoft have developed interfacing software for these things, I should know since I was the lead programmer.

Ultimately it all boils down to using your Legos for fun and profit, but most of the Lego owning slashdot crowd won't do this for fear that they might make some money on it. Really, what do you have to lose? Build Legos, brush your teeth, grab some lunch and then go to work. Its really that simple.

For those who don't know, I used to work for LEGO, making those small, 4-post blocks, but I got tired of it and now I work at Estuardo's Burritos on Wheels (a fabulous place to grab some lunch or dinner). I just made some crab enchiladas, chorizo and pork brain tacos for this little old lady and she said to me "Young man, those Legos will be the death of you", to which I replied "Fuck you little old lady. I'll be the death of YOU!". That was when I grabbed Humbertos kitchen towel and strangled her to death.

Getting back to the point, I am really amazed at the advances in Lego technology but what amazes me even more is how nearly anything can be built with those little blocks. Lots of techniques have been used to construct impressive Lego structures, but one that I'll always use is the good old tried and true block stacking. Nothing else even comes close.

In closing, I'd like to say that Legos and Linux (and Linux Thorvalds too! he's an impressive programmer) go hand in hand and I'd really like to see some open sourced software developed for Legos on Linux.

Subject: true tcp/ip on the RCX
From: "Olaf" Olaf Christ
Newsgroups: lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 20:16:29 GMT

I ve got the very first and only tcp/ip enabled
RCX in my room, cool, eh ?
I will make a webpage at the end of the week to
make the very first (rudimentary, but working)
version available to the public.

Right now, the tcp/ip stack is compiled into the kernel and the stack calls the usercode itself.

The code to pass the incoming packets to the stack
and to send packets to the pc is currently running as a simple userprogram. (*.lx).
On the pc the lnpd runs a program that acts as a gateway between the tower and the pc.
This gateway passes the packets coming from the tower to e.g. 192.168.0.1 and sends packets from 192.168.0.1 to the rcx.
Right now the only thing you can do is pinging the RCX.
But writing e.g. a very small webserver shouldnt be that big a deal ;-)
Because, lnp is still alive i had to disable the
sound support to free some RAM. Right now i got approx. 3 KB RAM left, still enough to do a lot of useful stuff. I think, the best way to fully integrate the tcp/ip-stack into the Legos-kernel would be replacing lnp by a tiny slip-driver. On the pc we could get rid of the lnpd.

Talk about clusters of webservers!

Now is the time to finally switch over to IPv6. Every lego brick can't possibly have its own IPv4 address.

Re:Talk about clusters of webservers!

[Anonymous Coward]

Now that idea I like!

The sysadmins could be the one with the TCP/IP stack, and when they walk up to a block (or you put them there! :) with a computer painted on it, you can then control the system by controlling them with their TCP/IP connection.

IPv6

[Gheesh]

With IPv4 address space getting tighter every day, why not develop a small IPv6 stack so we can (at last) deploy thousands of gadgets without worrying about numbers and without resorting to ugly, nasty NATs?

I ve got the very first and only tcp/ip enabled RCX in my room, cool, eh ?
I will make a webpage at the end of the week to make the very first
(rudimentary, but working) version available to the public.
Right now, the tcp/ip stack is compiled into the kernel and the stack calls
the usercode itself.
The code to pass the incoming packets to the stack and to send packets to the
pc is currently running as a simple userprogram. (*.lx).
On the pc the lnpd runs a program that acts as a gateway between the tower
and the pc.
This gateway passes the packets coming from the tower to e.g. 192.168.0.1
and sends packets from 192.168.0.1 to the rcx.
Right now the only thing you can do is pinging the RCX.
But writing e.g. a very small webserver shouldnt be that big a deal ;-)
Because, lnp is still alive i had to disable the sound support to free some
RAM.
Right now i got approx. 3 KB RAM left, still enough to do a lot of useful
stuff.
I think, the best way to fully integrate the tcp/ip-stack into the
Legos-kernel would be replacing lnp by a tiny slip-driver.
On the pc we could get rid of the lnpd.

Bob: "Check out the new server cluster we got"

[rice_burners_suck]

This is the most amazing technology I've ever heard of. Maybe in 5 or 10 years, the whole "Lego" technology would be developed so well that it will begin to apply to a lot of computer hardware in general, so that when you wish to construct a network, you'll pick out a bunch of "blocks", put them together much like toys, and power them up. Want a web server? Simply add this "brick" to your system. The bricks don't necessarily have to look like toys, but the idea is about the same: miniture little devices that perform one operation and perform it well, which can be combined in any numbers and any combination to produce some effect. The processing for any given task might automatically distribute itself across all the processors in the system that perform that operation.

Oh well.

Ah, at least until Office 2010 comes out, heh. Who wants to bet that that little piss ant paper clip will be using real time ray tracing to draw his annoying arsed self on the screen by then? Eh? ;)

Re:Oh well

[Big Jason]

Isn't that kinda the whole idea behind the SGI Origin 3000? You have all sorts of bricks (Disk, CPU, I/O, etc) that you stick together to get a customized server. Granted it is not as elegant as Legos and the bricks are quite large, but fundmentally I think it is the same idea.

Re:Oh well

[technopinion]

Reminds me of something interesting I saw on TechTV recently. Can't remember what school (probably MIT), but they had a number of self-contained snap-together "blocks" that each had some smarts and a single rotating joint (no, not that kind of joint... a pivoting one!). They could snap the modules into a snake-like configuration, or an insect, or a something else entirely, and it would self-configure for it's new purpose. Very cool.

Re:Oh well

[jeffy210]

Actually, that's not too far off the concept of the Origin 3K systems from SGI, their systems are built around different "bricks" from processor bricks, to I/O, and even the bus. Want to add on, pop in a brick, upgrade your backend, change the brick. Very modular, also great if something fails and needs to be replaced.

the future of information management in the u.s. intelligence community

frederick thomas martin
national security agency
usa
abstract

this paper will describe the future of information management within the various organizations and agencies that collectively are known as the us intelligence community, including the cia, nsa, dia, and the now declassified nro. the intelligence community of the us government recently confirmed that its budget -- kept secret as classified information in all 50 previous years since its inception -- totaled $26.6 billion dollars last year. because most of these funds are spent on providing information, the central focus of this paper will address what the us intelligence community believes to be the "information revolution" of the third millennium. this paper will provide an explanation of the possible role and impact that the information technology management reform act (itmra), passed by congress in august 1996, will have on the future of information within the intelligence community and how that relates to internet and intranet working professionals. it will describe the transition to web-centric electronic publishing of our nation's intelligence reports, known as "finished intelligence," into an integrated information space. describing the future, this paper will explore the concept of a more "agile" intelligence enterprise, giving us insight into how the us intelligence community plans to achieve its goal of an electronically networked environment for the production and exchange of intelligence, a goal deemed absolutely essential to national security in the 21st century.

perhaps the greatest paradigm shift in modern intelligence production is the transition to web-centric, electronic publishing of our nation's intelligence reports. as a result, there is much effort now being devoted within the government to addressing a number of electronic publishing concerns. sharing the results of several successful projects, this paper will take a look at a number of these concerns, including the issue of implementing "push" technology and the debate in many enterprises today over the appropriate roles for standards such as sgml and the role of new emerging standards such as xml. examples will include specific applications taken from the national security agency, the office of naval intelligence, the national imagery and mapping agency, and the joint intelligence center, pacific. these success stories have direct application to the organization or business today faced with the production and distribution of large volumes of documents, which describes virtually all businesses today!

the paper will also provide us with a look into the future: how does the us intelligence community plan to implement all of the information management improvements that it is working so hard on? we can begin to answer this with an examination of the underlying carriage to all of the information management improvements of the us intelligence community and a glimpse at the real future of the world of intelligence: the concept of "virtual intelligence." what will the world of virtual intelligence really look like?

to answer this, we will examine the idea of a more "agile" intelligence enterprise, as envisioned by dr. ruth david, the current cia deputy director for science and technology. this paper will explain that vision, including the perceived problems, security issues, and management challenges. the "agile" intelligence enterprise concept, combined with architectural, security, and other standards applied to the existing and planned telecommunications infrastructure, represents the primary components of one of the us intelligence community's most important goals.

1. introduction

in the united states, the production of intelligence is a multi-billion-dollar effort that is vital to the country's security and prosperity, and arguably, that of the free world as well. the various organizations that are collectively known as the us intelligence community are in the process of tremendous cultural and technological change as the third millennium approaches. with technology changes, declining resources, an explosion of information, and a completely different set of geopolitical priorities, the us intelligence community must find smarter ways to manage its most critical resource: information. this paper addresses the future of information management within the intelligence community and describes how they plan to become flexible, adaptive, and more "agile" as an enterprise. it describes their development and implementation of "intelink," an intranet that provides electronic publishing and dissemination of their finished intelligence as well as a multi-security-level collaborative environment. two organizations with operational prototypes are cited to demonstrate the progress that is being made to become more "agile." lastly, the paper describes the transition to an "agile intelligence enterprise," where "virtual teams" collaborate online and all data becomes a shared asset as part of an enterprise-wide "information space."
2. the us intelligence community: ultimate information producers

the leaders of civil and military organizations have always desired to have information that would forewarn them of danger, reduce uncertainty in the decision-making process, and otherwise prepare them for whatever future critical decisions they may face. the practice of intelligence can be defined as the sum of efforts revuired to achieve the fundamental needs of these leaders and decision-makers. the practice of intelligence involves tedious collection, interpretation, analysis, and reporting of information; and like so many business processes today, it also must grapple simultaneously with removing or at least reducing the various problems and barriers encountered. most people think of intelligence activities as occurring among foreign nations, powers, or other organizations (although "industrial espionage" involves the practice of intelligence among commercial, nongovernment entities) to determine various activities, plans, and even capabilities of those involved. but regardless of the "flavor" of intelligence, much of it comes down to the same set of activities that are so important to businesses today: making sense out of a deluge of information.

in today's world, the practice of intelligence is a key activity of the us government; indeed, it is vital to all governments, large and small, with an actual or perceived role on the international stage. every single day, the various components of the us intelligence community provide crucial information to those who manage our nation's strategic interests. generally, the "revuirements" of intelligence include the following:

what are an adversary's intentions?
what are his capabilities?
what are his limitations?
what are his vulnerabilities?

collectively, the business of intelligence is really about information: gathering, processing, analysis, reporting, and archiving for potential future analysis or reporting. the amount of information collected and processed is staggering and is measured in trillions of bytes.
2.1 the agencies

the us intelligence community is a coordinated network of thirteen primary agencies whose customers are a number of civilian and military organizations that work together to support efforts to ensure and maintain the security of the united states and its allies. this task is accomplished through the collection, analysis, and reporting of huge volumes of information that keep the president, cabinet members, members of congress, and other senior government decision makers informed. intelligence has become a vital element in every important activity of the us government. the thirteen primary components are

large agencies

1.central intelligence agency
coordinates all intelligence from all sources 2. national security agency
produces signals intelligence from both space-based and land-based collectors, as well as ensures the security of this nation's own information 3. defense intelligence agency
analyzes military targets 4. national reconnaissance office
builds and manages intelligence satellites 5. national imagery and mapping agency
performs military mapping and satellite photo interpretation
military intelligence

6. army intelligence
7. naval intelligence
8. marine corps intelligence
9. air force intelligence
other departments

10. department of state (bureau of intelligence and research)
11. department of energy (office of energy intelligence)
12. department of the treasury (office of intelligence support)
13. federal bureau of investigation

in addition to the thirteen primary components above, many people broaden the definition of the "intelligence community" to include the federation of us government organizations and users that have access to the primary intranet that serves the official intelligence community. this federation includes other department of defense civilian and military organizations, the department of justice, the drug enforcement agency (dea), the national aeronautics and space administration (nasa), and many others.
2.2 the mission

in recent years, the lines between various intelligence activities have become less distinct, but the goal has remained unchanged: to support key government decision-makers with the best possible information. in his report to the national performance review in 1996, then director of central intelligence john deutch stated

the united states intelligence effort shall provide the president and the national security council with the necessary information on which to base decisions concerning the conduct and development of foreign, defense, and economic policy and the protection of united states national interests from foreign security threats. specifically, the missions of u.s. intelligence are to:

provide intelligence support to national level policy makers,
provide intelligence support to military planning and operations,
provide intelligence support to law enforcement, and
counter foreign intelligence activities.

for members of the intelligence community, these "missions" refer to ensuring that policymakers and military leaders are provided with the information necessary to make decisions on such matters as

1. warning of impending crises, especially when national interests or the well-being of citizens is threatened;
2. long-term dangers such as the manufacture of chemical or biological weapons;
3. helping to safeguard public security by countering threats from terrorists and drug traffickers;
4. economic security by uncovering foreign efforts to influence international trade; and
5. increasing the effectiveness of us military forces deployed for operations.

2.3 the cost

special "select" committees control congressional oversight for the us intelligence efforts. in the us senate, this is accomplished by the senate select committee on intelligence (ssci), chaired by richard c. shelby of alabama and in the house of representatives by the house permanent select committee on intelligence (hpsci), chaired by representative porter j. goss, a former cia officer. the overall cost of intelligence production to the american public has remained secret as classified information since the inception of the central intelligence agency over 50 years ago. however, the intelligence community of the us government confirmed in the summer of 1997 that its total budget for the previous year was $26.6 billion dollars. this total includes the budgets of the central intelligence agency; the pentagon-run agencies such as the national reconnaissance office, the national security agency, the national imagery and mapping agency, and the defense intelligence agency (dia); and other operations and organizations at the pentagon, state department, and the federal bureau of investigation.

it is interesting to note that behind the primary missions of the national security agency (specifically the "signals intelligence" [sigint or "code breaking" mission] and the information systems security [infosec or "code making" mission]) is the fascinating story of the evolution of automation and information management. from the early code breaking days through the advent of the digital computer, the national security agency and the intelligence community played a critical role in shaping early automation, including mainframe and networking developments. for example, early cryptanalytical research was instrumental in the development of the first large-scale computer and the first solid-state computer, leading to mainframe computers and today's modern systems.
3. information management challenges

as the ultimate information producers, spending billions of dollars annually, the intelligence community has always faced enormous information management challenges in the collection, processing, and dissemination of intelligence. in this ever-changing environment, they needed several things: an architectural framework that allowed for sharing of intelligence data, products, and information across the various intelligence organizations; a methodology for collaboration to facilitate their production; and an improved mechanism for their dissemination electronically. several important factors shaped and intensified these needs, including

1. broadening intelligence dissemination base. the customer set of the us intelligence community revuires a much broader base of intelligence dissemination today and in the foreseeable future. the world is no less dangerous today than it was during the cold war. however, the wide diversity of us intelligence revuirements for the modern warfighter (soldier in the field) today sharply contrasts with the days of the cold war, when there was essentially one adversary, the former soviet union. we once feared a global thermonuclear war that had the potential to destroy most of the planet in a single confrontation. however, today the focus is on a wide variety of potential adversaries and problems that range from the control of weapons of mass destruction and terrorist activities to economic and information warfare. since the end of the cold war, the intelligence mission also has included international law enforcement activities such as drug trafficking.

2. increase in exploitable data/information. a true information explosion has occurred: the amount of information available to intelligence producers continues to increase exponentially. since not all information can be processed, smart tools and methods of sorting and determining which information we can use must be developed.

3. government "cutbacks." downsizing or "rightsizing" has become a way of life in the us government this decade, and the intelligence community is no exception. base closures, consolidations, and decreasing resources in terms of both funds and people continue to have the potential to adversely impact intelligence operations.

4. need for the intelligence community to become more "agile." this is perhaps the single most important factor. the intelligence community must become adaptive, flexible, and more "agile" as an enterprise in order to respond to new and unexpected intelligence situations. they must be able to manage and share all of their information across the entire intelligence commu

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky.

Imagine all the people
Living for today ...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace ...

You, you may say I am a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world ...

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

LegOS. It isn't so much reverse engineering at this point, but a new operating system that you upload. Big difference. They can do whatever they want with LegOS. Besides, Lego doesn't care - they still sell hardware, and they are a hardware vendor. (Man times have changed since I was young.. to think I would ever say "Lego is a hardware vendor.")

Scalability

[roman_mir]

For some reason I just imagined the future breed of software architects to talk about scalability of systems build from Lego bricks:

-Our system is designed with scalability in mind, we use multitier software. Once the software is pushed to the limit, the scalability problems will be resolved in the hardware level. We will simply add more of these Lego blocks to our servers and there will be no problem.

In related news, a large army of Robots build from lego pieces is taking over Manhatten. These robots are looting every toy store in the area and are using more Lego systems to build more robots.

Beowulf Cluster

[RobM9999]

If we could get Eric Harshbarger to build the Beowulf cluster it would rock. Either the Linux Penguin, R2D2, or the Desk are a few of the best.

Re:Beowulf Cluster

New ways to communicate. New ways to be creative!

[cnladd]

As a fellow Mindstorms owner, this is incredibly interesting. I'm not that great of a builder myself - not compared with some of the folks I've seen on the 'net - but I'm looking into ways right now to get multiple bricks (RCX's) to communicate with each other.

Now with the ability to pass TCP/IP traffic back and forth, that opens up even greater avenues of possibility for device communication. Not only can you create software that will allow you (or someone over the web) to interact with the devices directly, it's now easier to get the RCX's to interact with other devices. One great example would be to have a brick as a part of a security system. How about intergrating it with an X10 system? Turn your robot on with the flick of a wall switch.

This just isn't a case of "let's port Apache to a Lego RCX brick!" The fact that these things are the brains of such a flexible system, with a wide variety of sensors, really opens up a great deal of possibility. More importantly, it allows for even more creativity and learning. After all, that's what these devices were made for, right?

It's estimated reatil price is going to be $688.95 and will be available q3 of this year.

Programming by building lego ?

[tempmpi]

Couldn't that be a very easy methode for programming ? Most humans can understand things they can touch much faster than abstract things like a source code file.
Wouldn't building your programm by putting together some lego bricks, be something that could make programming understandable for many people ?

Re:Programming by building lego ?

[orkysoft]

Yes, it certainly could. It reminds me of the old flowcharts software designers used to use. Who's still talking about those now?

But yes, I do believe the idea has potential.

Re:Programming by building lego ?

[p3d0]

That works fine for programs you can assemble out of existing parts. It would certainly make a good teaching tool.

Re:Programming by building lego ?

[Mr Bill]

I guess you haven't used LEGO Minstorms yourself. It comes with a Drag and Drop GUI programming language that looks like lego bricks. You literally build you program on screen before uploading it to your RCX. I think it is a fantastic tool for teaching kids the basics of programming, and it's fun to boot...

Seriously, maybe the admins of /. think its funny to have people try and hit sites they know will be slashdotted.

I should think with all the resources at OSDN creating a static image with the page in question should be no problem.

Does /. ask permission prior to posting an article/link to a site? If not then i'm sure by creating a link to a site with prior knowledge that the site will stall under the weight of the hits could be a potential legal liabilty to OSDN.

While i'm on the soap box, the other MAJOR gripe i have is slashdots search engine,,,HOW hard is it to include the YEAR? Looks like at times one gets a month,day,hour,minute, AM/PM however looks like thats not even consistant, as the deeper one searches, the month gets dropped.

This gives me another item to tinker with when it comes to building a CD Changer out of Lego's.
My brother has a small cd-r label, and so does a lot of burning. I've been contemplating how I could make a cd-changer to automate the most boring part of it all, changing cd's, one at a time.
So far I've gotton it mostly figured out, except how to load a new cd from a spindle.
It's either figure out the spindle issue, or find some way to preload cd's for easy swapping.

Now, maybe I can have the cd-changer interact with the burning process. woot! "Hey, do I put in a cd now? NO, we're stuck!" at which point I activate some little lego man to wave his arms. heh.

Maybe I'll be able to use Mindstorms to measure the distance to the moon to the nearest millimetre, or the speed of light.... or I'll just have fun building them and making them hurt eachother. Yeah, that's it... Robot Wars with Mindstorms... who care's about running a stupid lego web server?

Um...

[Anonymous Coward]

would you be meaning "sentience"? oh but i forgot, proper spelling is not an important part of communication

Sentience \Sen"ti*ence\, Sentiency \Sen"ti*en*cy\, n. [See Sentient, Sentence.]
The quality or state of being sentient; esp., the quality or
state of having sensation. --G. H. Lewes

An example of harmonious action between the
intelligence and the sentieny of the mind. --Earle.

WOw, seeing the C64 spit out bytes so slow reminds me of the BBS days. This is almost exactly like 2400 baud.

You had 2400 on a 64? You musta been elite!

Score = 5? Well bugger me backwards.

Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Well, I know what this means..

Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things?!?!

This was used in Lord of the Rings

[frohike]

No, this isn't a joke.. =)

I haven't touched uIP myself, but we're using lwIP (its big brother) in KallistiOS, the DC hobbyist OS project. Adam sent this to me pretty recently and I thought it kicked ass beyond belief:

lwIP will be used in the post-production of Lord of the Rings 2 and 3

With one of those big green backplanes, Olaf could probably put together quite a cluster.

Mitsubishi Electric smart bricks

[dlleigh]

If you go here you can read about Lego-style bricks with built-in microcontrollers. After you build a structure, the bricks talk to each other, figure out who their neighbors are and download the information to a host computer. Your structure can then be rendered in 3-D. A Prolog program can process the model and look for architectural feature (corners, roof, doors, windows) which can then be rendered in imaginative styles.

The coolest part is that you can download your model into Quake and frag your friends inside the structure you built.

There was a paper on this at Siggraph 2000 and a tech report is here.

Nerf-gun emulation of RFC1149 networking

[billstewart]

obviously the Nerf projectiles can substitute for avian carriers. You can also use the Legos as a reconfigurable version of clay tablets...

Any Relation?

[simetra]

"Yesterday, Olaf Christ announced that he has the world's first TCP/IP-enabled Lego brick that can be used as a web server.

To Jesus?

Proxy firewalls and DMZ have more effect

[billstewart]

NAT / ipmasq / etc. are one approach to hiding large private address spaces behind small numbers of IP addresses, but they're not the only one. Another approach is proxy-type firewalls and DMZs. In a typical corporate network, to get to the web you use a proxy server (which also does some caching), and to send email you go through an SMTP server at the firewall, and to receive email you go to a corporate server which actually gets the mail from outside and either forwards it to your internal mail server or else provides the mailbox service itself. NAT can be useful if you want to run other protocols, and ftp can either be handled by NAT or by proxies.

Imagine Beowulf the Monster made of Lego bricks...

Apple is interested

[sunhou]

Apple is thinking of using Lego blocks, but they've announced they will only use the higher-tech, fancier (and more expensive) Lego Technic blocks, even though it's actually slower to build stuff with them.

Lego overload

[sunhou]

If we had a Beowulf cluster of these arranged in a 2-D grid (sitting on top of a Lego desk of course), we could use it to do image processing. First image to process? Calista.

By the way, has anyone built a cellular phone out of Lego blocks yet? I.e. do we have Wireless Lego yet?

uh

[Anonymous Coward]

I hope nobody's said this already, but hell, imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things!

Cost of bricks may be going up.

[larryp]

This news is cool, but the cost of outfitting your server farm may be going up a bit if eBay has their way.

They are trying to put the hurt on the best fan run brick source. See: Legal Notice (on BrickBay(tm) ) for details, as well as this story on LUGNET(tm)

uIP - I know that...

I think it's used in a wearable computer on some hockeyplayers in Sweden. The audience can read the players pulse, the players tackling strength and much more.

It's pretty cool...

[Suppafly]

Good thing they aren't hosting the story on the lego block webserver.. image how fast that would get slashdotted..

and don't anyone bother with the "...imagine a ..."

Additional information

[adadun]

Here is some technical information about this achievement.

The "brain" in the Lego Mindstorms product family is the RCX; essentially a small microcontroller with an LCD display built into a Lego brick. It has connectors for sensors and motors as well as an infra-red port. The microcontroller is an Hitachi H8/3292 from the H8S/300 family. It has 32k RAM and a 16k ROM which hosts Lego firmware code.

The microcontroller can be entirely reprogrammed, which turns the RCX into a small but powerful embedded computer. With 32k RAM, this is enough to run the open-source legOS operating system - an operating system written for the RCX Lego bricks. Olaf Christ has taken the uIP TCP/IP stack (which was originally written for this project) and incorporated it into the legOS system.

IP packets are sent to and from the RCX over the IR link. The LNP protocol is used as a link layer protocol to deal with collision detection and link layer checksums.

The main problem with the TCP/IP-enabled Lego bricks is that the IR port on the RCX only is capable of running 4800 bit/sec. Since that's even slower than most really old modems, a Lego web server is easily slashdotted by one user alone...

While the uIP TCP/IP stack was originally written for this project it has since taken a life of its own and has not only been used to power good old C64s, but is also used in several embedded systems such as card-readers and other point-of-sale-type applications.

I have personally been running Olaf Christ's TCP/IP code on an RCX and can confirm that it works. In fact, I have one sitting here and serving web pages right now. Sorry, I won't give out the IP address due to the slashdot effect...

Sorry, but it has to be said.

[Anonymous Coward]

A web server on lego?

OLAF CHRIST!

This is great - now the athiest geeks who are too used to exclaiming 'christ' thanks to their practicing relatives can now insist, "I was referring to Olaf, the guy who hacked lego."

already got one!

[TechnoLust]

It's called a server rack. You want to add a web server? Buy a 1U "brick" and plug it in. To get to what you are talking about, all we need is a standardized hot swappable bus that runs along a backplane, so that you plug in a 1U server and it docks (similar to a laptop) and with that one hot swap connection has electricity, network, and KVM connection. That'd be cool, the worst thing about rack servers is going behind them and rummaging through the tangle of wires. A standardized rack bus would be great!

Lego is WAY COOL on RCX-hacking...

[OmniGeek]

For those who don't pay much attention to Lego-ings-on, Lego has a VERY ENLIGHTENED attitude to Mindstorms hackers. They don't explicitly support RCX-hacking, but they definitely approve. Based on their statements to the press, they understand that RCX-hacking helps both the users and Lego. They *want* people to go nuts with the thing. (It's a great toy, and I love it; I just wish it had a port-extender for more sensors/actuators. Maybe a piggyback module that communicates with the RCX via the IR port?)

There was an incident with the LegOS alternate operating system recently where Lego requested that the fellow change the name so as to not dilute Lego's trademark (see ./ story a while back), but Lego were extremely reasonable and polite about the whole thing. (In trademark law, they MUST defend the trademark or else lose it).

As concerns DMCA, there's NO issue there, 'cause there's no attempt to prevent or control access to the brick's brains. Lego are the complete opposite of Sony in this regard.

How about a Bluetooth brick?

[KjetilK]

I enjoyed Lego very much when I was a kid, and I think my children are going to enjoy it as well. I haven't got any Mindstorms stuff now, however, so I really don't know how it works.

I also think this is great, but thinking about connecting to other devices, the IR builtin in RCX isn't that well suited for a robot running around without boundaries, is it?

How about Bluetooth support? If they make a Bluetooth brick that can communicate with RCX on the robot, wouldn't that be better?

An Idea

[Martin S.]

This is tangentially similar to an idea I've been playing with for some time. My main problem is that as as S/W enginner I have little idea where to start, I was thinking PIC, but I'm really not sure. The idea would facilitate real large scale automation. Perhaps this could be the first 'open-hardware design' :-) However the main reason I'm raising this an attempt to invalidate any future patent.

It's a TCP/IP/UDP trigger/switch. However the concept relies on being tiny, simple and cheap to produce, pence rather like the 555 timers we played with in school electronics. It needs to be a mass produced chip with a [very] low price point.

The chip(s) must operate in two modes. Switch and Trigger.

The trigger operates by producing a [multicast]packet contanining a unique GUID, when a specific input line is triggered dragged high(low).

The switch operates the opposite way by dragging a line high(low) when it receives specific GUID, within a [multicast] packet.

I'm thinking PIC(s) Would it be possible to implement a TCP/IP stack in PIC logic ?

I'm thinking multicast packets with TTL:1, to keep everything withing the subnet.

I'm thinking the IP equivalent of mecrcury/magnetic switches, relays etc for burglar/fire alarms, door switches, light switches, thermostatic switches, infact massive automation. It would then be possible to control just about any device via pretty much any IP enabled/connected computing device.

Consider some applications.
Switching Night Lights.
Burglar/Fire Alarm switches.
Light switches
Thermostats

See the potential ?

What do you think ?

PBS-Prebashing Syndrome

[ubtaught]

I had hoped to see some interesting posts concerning the idea to connect a Mindstorms module to the internet. There are some problems, sure, and some venues for Borg-ian humor, of course...but where is the intelligent dialogue I was hoping for? Are you Nerds or Nerd-wannabees? If it won't work...explain why! If there is some promise...let's discuss it...if there is room for humor...get a separate thread and sew away! I want to see some intellectual action! For instance...has anyone thought of Starlogo and Lego Mindstorms Bricks? Has anyone thought of the possibilities of taking something out of the clouds of software and slamming it down onto the ground of Hardware? Talk about parallel processing! And if a few toddlers get frightened...good! Fear is a great motivator! Hunter/Killer Bots the size of a house made out of Legos...bring 'em on! Now, how about the main course? Make mine a big heaping bowl of Intelligent discourse, please!
