The way I read it, he won't know what's "interesting" until well after the events have been recorded.
Thats what motion is supposed to do: only keep images in which there is motion.
Even in your example they are probably not interested in tapes full of a static picture.
Do you really want to store ALL frames indefinatly?
I assume you are monitoring something (1000 cameras sounds like a whole city...) and you probably only want to keep the interresting stuff.
Take a look at a program like motion, you will still need a lot of pcs to be able to monitor 1000 cameras, but you will be able to drasticly reduce the storage size needed.
First: they are strategically placed printks not printfs.
And no they are still usefull, like Linus has said (and you know Linus is always right, don't you?) they force you to think about what you are doing before trying another run.
Trust me nothing beets a bunch of printks and a serial console when debugging a kernel.
So we should just abandon privacy and freedom completly.
I am sure you would feel really comfortable in your police state knowing that your 'goverment' (lets also get rid of democracy in case one of those terorists gets elected....) controls your every move.
Freedom has risks, deal with that.
I think its ironic that after what many people call an atack on 'the free/democratic/western world' the first thing we do is get rid of the things it stood for.
Looks like the attacks were successfull afterall...
You forget that the US is also making the biggest mess of all countries.
They deserve to face harder consequences.
Americans way seems to mean rape everyone and everything as long as there is money in doing it,
that attitude needs to change.

Mach is only a microkernel, running under it is a monolithic BSD kernel made out of nearly every *BSD project on the planet.
Motion detection based on a mediocre video source is a tricky thing, and I don't know if there's an open source app that does it yet; You might actually be able to do something using the pbm tools and shell scripting for all I know,
In his original license he clearly states that you may make derivatives of ssh and use the 'ssh' name. Later he changed it and registered the trademark.
So anybody who is using the sourcecode distributed with the old license may use the name ssh.
So it is not a reasonable request

Europe is not a very good place to live. All the European countries are censoring so much stuff. Sure, Nazis are bad, but where do you draw the line? If you start, you're going to have to eventually censor everything, that's the logical conclusion.
Can you say fuck on American public TV?
Is censorware forced onto schools and libraries in Europe?
Do we have stupid laws like the DMCA?
Guess Europe isn't so bad after all?
Your second point: 'were do you end' is a non-issue: it is not about good or bad it is about discrimination, nothing more.
I think this is a bit different than the usual american opinion 'You should be allowed to say and write anything you want'.
In my country (The Netherlands) discriminating (or calling for discrimination) is a crime. Thus making songs that are discriminating or call for discrimination is not allowed (not just nazi songs!)
You might be opposed to this, but I think this is a good thing.
Nice toutch to mention sending them food, medicine and bibles.
Those bibles are really tasty:)
Did you know that nearly every war on this planet had some religous background were everybody instantly forgot about not killing someone else but started killing everyone they saw that did not have the exact same religion as they had?
And here you go start a few wars again by sending them even more religious stuff to fight about.
If you are dissapointed by ccd sensors you shouldn't go to cmos.
Cmos censors are about 15 times less sensitive than ccd sensors.
You will also see strange moving effects when tacking pictures of moving objects with an cmos sensor.
They are however much cheaper.

There is no limit on the maximum numbers of tuners on a card, only size of 10 tuners(the metal thingy on your tv card) and ofcourse the cost of the card and chipset to support it.
Most people wont use it so it will be pretty high priced.....
If you would read it wel it was not regeted, the guys asking for the video optimizations wanted something different.
The article was merely pointing out that the general preemptive stuff would help them to.
When I deploy my unix servers, X-windows isn't even installed on the boxes, for efficiency,
security, and reliability. Now if we could get Windows and unix to work hand in hand...

Userfriendlyness has nothing to do with the kernel, its the distro that matters, apple could have just used a monolithic bsd or linux kernel.
