More importantly, you can also monitor the system for when a group of tags go through the door at the same time.
My company is setting up a similar system. There are going to be readers at all of the external doors (which also have cameras) and then at a few main intersections in the building, only a few of which has cameras.
Therefore, if a laptop disappears from Accounting, they can create a timeline for when it left the building. Then, once it's out, there are various things that can phone home. Of course, this is only effective if they don't wipe the drive before they get it online.
It's highly effective as most of the people in those areas are almost always employees, so they're easily recognized and phoned.
When we first got on the internet (1996), some friends and I had accounts with one local ISP. As time went on, we each cancelled our accounts for various reasons except for one guy...
Fast forward three years and when we were in town, we all used his account... sometime simulataneously. And he stopped receiving a bill, so he cancelled it.
Fast forward 3 more years and I try out the account. Sure enough, it works and there was some old email in there. Almost all the info was out of date, but a few of us still use it when we're in town without access.
I've gotten paid in beer before. Throughout college, I did upgrades in return for other people's old stuff. I was able to do somewhat major upgrades every 18 months or so for almost nothing ( $100).
Uh... the interesting thing is that the pictures are from this past August. And 3 (or 5?) of the people invovled had already been referred to Article 32 (Court Martial) proceedings as of 10 days ago.
So yes, they only took an hour to go around the world. But it took 8 months for them to make it into the public's eye anyway.
So here you have one organization (EU) where its members *ARE* elected by the people and are therefore held accountable... and they don't seem to want to be representative and/or democratic.
Therefore, what makes anyone think that another organization (UN) where its members *ARE NOT* elected (aka accountable) by the people will be democratic?
Therefore, neither the EU or the UN should be in charge of anything where we actually want things to be representative of the people.
I hope the software patent issue dies in the EU, just as I hope the UN fails in its grab for control over ICANN.
Ah, but the history-written-by-the-winners omits the fact that a non-regulatory solution to this had already evolved by the 30's. Dealing with diputes like these, the courts hammered out a common-law-like homesteading principle. In essence, first person to use & "improve" (by building a transmitter on a hill, for example) a portion of spectrum could claim a property right over it. Subsequent people who transmit on top of an already claimed frequency could be sued for damages analogous to tresspass.
So it was just a big game of King of the Hill?
Doesn't this set up the very situation that nearly everyone around here is decrying (ie. the ownership of the spectrum by a small group of entities)?
we can't get the fucking congress to fund education to the top of the list. We'll get our paybacks soon enough
We wouldn't want Congress to tell us what computer to buy to do our work, so why should we let them tell us what education to buy?
Everyone screams about Microsoft because they "kill competition", but no one says anything about the public schools (aka government) "killing competition" by putting stringent laws on homeschooling and private schools.
If competition makes technology (innovation, development, deployment, etc) better, then why won't it make education better?
I am beating this to death in this thread, but it is important. Salary doesn't mean your not entitled to overtime. read your state labor laws regarding this.
If the contract you sign says no overtime, then it does. If I want overtime for my time, then it's my job to negotiate it.
ive me a break. I don't even believe that you are an IT worker, you're probably a boss and lying about it. Yaa, "tell the government to keep their damn hands off of it". Off of what, me getting paid for the time I work? Me having a social life instead of working all of the time? Chao is trying to change the rules which is government putting its damn hands all over it, putting it for the IT companies which are bankrolling the Bush campaign.
Are you blaming Bush for not having a social life?
Anyway, if you only want to work 40 hours a week, then start working towards that as your goal. When I first started my current job, I was at 40 hrs, which steadily drifted up to 50 hrs and it drove me nuts without additional pay.
Therefore, I've steadily decreased my hours and now I work 40-43 hrs/week.
At a Friday meeting a few weeks ago, I had three new requirements thrown at me for a nearly complete app. I told them (and my boss) that I would start on it Monday. When asked why I wouldn't start it immediately, I told them that unless I was being paid hourly, I take the weekends off.
You have to set your priorities and then live by them.
Why don't we just tell the government to get their damn hands out of it in the first place?
I have a salaried job now that doesn't get me overtime. I have had hourly contract jobs in the past that don't give overtime, but pay for the actual hours worked.
Shifting from contract jobs to a salaried position meant that I had a significant paycut and unpaid overtime (like everyone else in the field), but it offered stability.
If you want to be compensated for working more than 40 hours, do it at a different job or get it into your contract.
I used to have Comcast and they didn't have *any* ports blocked. It was nice as I was able to run everything on standard ports. 80 for apache, 8080 for tomcat.
Now I have Cox Cable and they block 80 by default so I've had to switch over to 8080 for apache, 8081 for tomcat.
Most of the techs don't have a clue about their AUP let alone any information about ports...
Or by embedding it into the car during manufacturing.
Most jurisdictions admit that speeding tickets are becoming a revenue generator. Just wait until highway overpasses automatically calculate your average speed...
RFID jamming techniques are going to become much more popular. After all, creating a signal with a 5m range is not power intensive at all.
Hehe... I learned one DM so well that when we came up to a hallway where we could only go left or right, I knew that the goal was right on the other side of the wall.
Add one Stone to Mud and let's go!
We managed to dodge numerous hours of trouble and potential death.
I keep all of my Java apps on a Samba share on my fileserver. Then, I set up aliases pointing at my standard version that I'm using.
Then, from whatever system I use or plug into my network, I map the drives and I have all of my apps with no hassle.
I've done this connecting Slackware, Redhat, win2k, and win98 systems to my network. It removes all the nastiness of having to maintance multiple copies.

For that, I am now one of your fans.

"News for Nerds", Michael Moore, Cannes Film Festiacal...
I didn't realize these things were related.
Haha.
I went to school in Terre Haute (not indstate) and I used to live directly across the parking lot from this address.
Haha.
Face it... to power our systems we're going to have to plug into humans.

Thanks for helping in my point.

How many people voted for their EU representatives?
How many people voted for their UN representatives?
These are *NOT* democratic organizations. As noted above...
Why do we want to put them in charge of things?

Everyone blames the companies...
Could it be that the law is WRONG? If the law allowed for people to drop calls they determined to be fraudulent, it would be much more difficult.

That's exactly what I was thinking..
Essentially let the mail system
Too bad I'm not in college anymore, this would be a great thing to set up in the labs.

A company that I used to be with was implementing this last summer. They ran into some rather large problems...
It requires a very homogeneous enviroment.. namely Windows 2k or Windows XP. It requires use of MS Office exclusively. It requires their backend.
While I use Office pretty extensively and win2k on one of my main boxes, the last thing I would want to do is convert over everything to that. Arg.
It depends on how you define knowledge management...
If someone means purely a document repository, then DocSearcher ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/docsearcher/ ) may take care of it.
If someone means purely a FAQ system, then a Wiki may be the way to go.
If someone means a collaborative suite, then EGroupWare ( http://www.egroupware.org/ ) may be the way to go.
If you just want discussion forums, then phpBB2 ( http://www.phpbb.com/ ) may be the way to go.
Personally, this sounds like a collaborative suite with a doc repository bolted on. I'd go with EGroupWare.
After all, the UN has always stood for freedom.
Until you read Article 29, Section 3.
I do something similar to this already.
I keep all of my Java apps on a Samba share on my fileserver. Then, I set up aliases pointing at my standard version that I'm using.
Then, from whatever system I use or plug into my network, I map the drives and I have all of my apps with no hassle.

Hey, I've done SGML - > XML conversions pretty extensively for academics (librarians specificly).
