Double-Plus Good!

It's not trolling, it's my honest opinion!
Before MS had this drafted, the NSA and several other companies (currently involved) came up with SELinux http://www.nsa.gov/selinux
and in responce, MS has attempted to "persuade" the NSA into stopping this research or promotion of security enhanced linux http://news.com.com/2100-1001-950083.html
Now who's working for the people again? I'd have to take the NSA's side. IT's all open source (no NDA there) and from what we've looked at so far the code is "A Good Thing" (TM)
The merger gives IBM, the world's largest supplier of computers and computer services
First they adopted linux. Then they realized that the best way to make some money from their new friend is by services. This means tech support for business and home users.
Batter up msft. Bide your time for it is almost up.
While looking at the graphs the following conclusions were made:
1) 64 kbit/s just isn't enought. 128 is far decent for average listening and broadcasting. Anything higher is just overkill
2) Ogg seemed to outrank the other formats hands down, while at the same time seeing that each test was done by a different person. Take note that all the tests should have been done by each person. My rank of a particular format may be different than yours.
3) In performing my own test's to these I have significantly different ratings. Even using the same genre of music (eg. same style/era)
Fundamentally flawed? (here goes my karma) Audio quality in each of the tests should have been chosen by a better musical standard. Most older recordings pre-1994 were vastly analog and since CD's became a defacto standard, even digitally, these disc's still contain the analog (hence lesser) quality of music recorded in a digital format.
Take for example the test done on the "Mamas and the Papas", an old analog recording. And Green Day, sorry not quality music in my book. Digial recordings do not help.
Though I agree with the 64 kb test limit, to determine what codec would sound better at the lowest bitrate, the music should have been better chosen. The test's, however, were very informative if they didn't give you at least a stroke of brilliance to try it yourself. (not flaming or anything)
Having a little black box I believe is a good thing. but I would want additional features.
Car owner has COMPLETE control over the access of the information stored within it. You can view, and access your driving habits to perhaps get better (or even your kids driving habbits:P )
This includes keeping everything secure from prying eyes (if it's stolen or impounded for whatever reason) and using some sort of public key crypto. VERY handy.
All gps signals are also encrypted. The device will send a signal to whereever you want to, or wherever it can be accessed, but the data inside should be encrypted.
RE: shameless plug for public key _CRYPTOGRAPHY_
The user (re: owner) should also have the ability to change it from full monitoring/recording to that 5-30 second recording time before an accident.
These would be great. And insurance companies should have restrictions against them that prevent the information from being required if they know you have the system in your car. Though, they probably will be unfair and biased against you just like any other organisation for failuer to be "patriotic" or "if you did nothing wrong you have no reason to fear"

actually http://www.nsa.gov/selinux is great for a kernel module, or even compiled into it itself. True linux has proven itself better than it's (non-exzistant) competitor from Redmond. But with this security addon it makes it on the top of it's field. I think this is why the NSA has given it it's name SELinux: Security _enhanced_ linux. To define that would denote that linux had a lot of security before, and now with this add-on is _enhanced_ in many ways.
Too bad I haven't been able to find anyone who can audit the NSA's work and help verify it for obvious & hidden flaws.

This is interesting. How far has the A.I. Come since it's creation? Can it disguish between man and machine? And how does it deal with textal representaions of voice influx? HI! is different that Hi...

kudos to you my friend. I'm doing the same thing here and even with my nieces and nephews, cousins and relatives alike.

I can remember a time when it was Government for the people by the people... now I'm not sure who's for who.
