after a quick search, open proximity appears to have something to do with switches, and doesn't seem to conflict in any way with "close proximity" being redundant
[...]Pamela Wilderman, the code enforcement officer for Marlboro, stated, "I think Mr. Deeb has crossed a line somewhere. This is not what we would consider to be a customary home occupation."
Allow me to translate Ms. Wilderman's words into plain English: "Mr. Deeb hasn't actually violated any law or regulation that I can find, but I don't like what he's doing because I'm ignorant and irrationally afraid of chemicals, so I'll abuse my power to steal his property and shut him down."
In effect, the Massachusetts authorities have invaded Deeb's lab, apparently without a warrant, and stolen his property[...]
I would argue that the value of information isn't declining. Rather, the ability of humans to store less valuable information is increasing
Using image resolution as a metaphor: before, we couldn't store all those pixels. Now, we can.
Certainly, the change in benefit of going from say.. 32px by 32px to 128px by 128px is more than the change from a 10Mpixel image to 11Mpixel image. This is because we're storing less valuable/more redundant information. However, this does not mean information in general is declining in value, just that we're throwing less of it away
There's a distinction to be made here: whereas the average value per bit of stored information may be going down, the average value per bit of information (that may or may not be stored) is not
Then again, Dallas is also one of the cities mentioned as shortening yellow lights in the article:
Dallas, Texas
An investigation by KDFW-TV, a local TV station, found that of the ten cameras that issued the greatest number of tickets in the city, seven were located at intersections where the yellow duration is shorter than the bare minimum recommended by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
The cityâ(TM)s second highest revenue producing camera, for example, was located at the intersection of Greenville Avenue and Mockingbird Lane. It issued 9407 tickets worth $705,525 between January 1 and August 31, 2007. At the intersections on Greenville Avenue leading up to the camera intersection, however, yellows are at least 3.5 or 4.0 seconds in duration, but the ticket-producing intersectionâ(TM)s yellow stands at just 3.15 seconds. That is 0.35 seconds shorter than TxDOTâ(TM)s recommended bare minimum. Dallas likewise installed the cameras at locations with existing short yellow times. A total of twenty-one camera intersections in Dallas had yellow times below TxDOT's bare minimum recommended amount.
The ticket camera program in Dallas made the news recently for shutting down some of its cameras because they were no longer profitable.

if physically connecting your router and computer with an ethernet cable requires additional setup afterwards, you have some other issues...

and here I thought the article was going to be about AMI moving from the BIOS industry into gaming.
actually, that quote is from the MAKE article/guest post thing by Robert Bruce Thompson: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/08/home_science_under_attack.html

http://www.eol.org/ points to their old demo site, it seems (which is why everything is just images, with popups explaining features)
http://eol.org/ is the correct site, which seems much better. still not valid though
