how would this system make a difference between a begger, a person waiting for someone, a person waiting to commit a crime?
do authorities take a care about it if there is a difference?
would being black, hispanic or asian rise the chance of triggering an "alarm"?
what does this mean for the definition of public space? will there be a public space in future, if this technology is used, or would it shift the term of public spaces, and fragment them into spaces for certain people, that are forbidden to others just because a computer systems database says they are likely to commit a crime, even if they dont want to?
shifting of urban myths/legends with ongoing research. as before when people imagined stories about glasses, that made the wearer see, how long someone has to live, or how someone will die.
now strange businesses try to get some money, in making the investors believe they in fact can realize this sci-fi / legend thing.
honestly it is not possible, to predict if someone will pull a gun, or if he just pulls a towel. sadly researches like this remind me of the nazi's profiling different races to so called untermenschen.
its an ongoing tendency in western world, that this strategy is used for marketing purposes, security reasons etc. there should really be some public resistance against such things, like against genetic manipulated food. marketing, and advertisments turn more and more into psychological warfare for consumsers money. and i dont want to end up stepping on the street and having to care, of being 'suspect' just because of the way i am dressed, the skin-color i have, by computer guided cameras. but wait - its a fact, that police officers are trained, to keep an eye of "suspects" which are not white and male in certain areas. if you fall under this profile, your chance of being prosecuted for being on the street at night, and if your lucky some person gets robbed by a black person five blocks away and you spend at least a night in jail.
the real interface behind macosX.
honestly i switched to it from kde, and am really happy. the filemanager r0x0rs, the way minimised windows get iconified to icons, is really neat, you can drag them around, and handle them like desktop icons.
for example icon view of directory "devel" for example.
desktop menu is great, that lets you minimize all windows at once etc.
it even supports antialiasing if you want to. and is no resource hog. xfce is the working environment, that gtk is built for, not gnome.
i say working environment because i mean it, you can really get work done, whereas the desktop environments i know mostly try to mimic commercial gui's like apples macosX and windows. fighting the eyecandy
throws my library of books about web-usability at those biggots...
nice try. but staring at white noise on my TV is more fun.
or listening to "cat/boot/vmliunz >/dev/audio"
yeah of course and LOTS of people are not afraid to compile this shit from source.
i for my part had to compile it three times to get ssl support into the binary.
phpnuke.
then theres oma - for media management ( realvideo, mp3, realaudio ). zope i heard is also nice, but i dont trust it under heavy load.
there are loads of php/mysql related content management systems out there just look at freshmeat.
one thing about PHPNuke - it's not really GPL, but you get the "source" with the download. one guy is the author of it and he's happy if you buy something for his amazon.com wishlist. You can customize it to pull of a site where your users can post articles, post comments as well as a site, where your staff posts articles, and users cant login / post comments. there are loads of "plugins" for it - galleries, and what else you can think of.
just remeber to get this guy some cash if you use it commercially.

you think joe/jeanette user is capable of filling a bug report on bugzilla. honestly. it's easier to fill out a tax form...
yeah of course and LOTS of people are not afraid to compile this shit from source.
i for my part had to compile it three times to get ssl support into the binary.
ever tried to install mozilla on a old-school mac? even on a G3 it performs bad and has huge resource requirements.
where does this come from?
