The guy said he needed a subject that was relatively static. But shadows on a canyon wall are not static. He says it took him 13 minutes. I wonder if there was any noticeable movement in the shadows in that time?
The sun moves (about) 180degrees/12hours = 15degrees/hour or about 3 degrees in 12 minutes.
If taken when the angle of the shadows is relatively low (like high noon), I doubt it would be noticeable.
However, it looks like it was taken near sunset or sunrise, in which case the change in length of the shadows would be much more dramatic.
The math is explained here but you'd need to know the height of the canyons plus the angle of the sun or the length of the shadows to get an exact result.
I agree. My sister is a public-high-school art teacher, and the district refuses to pay for any of her supplies. They also have threatened other teachers for solicting supplies or money from students or parents. This year, she is teaching ceramics, and is unable to afford the supplies... they will cost more than 1mo salary per semester.
Her district is not especially poor, btw.
Sounds like that would require a LOT of readers if they only have a 20in range. Even if they have a 10 meter range, you'd probably need several in each classroom to discern positions with any accuracy.
When I buy a video card, I want to know that it'll run game X at a good fps AND I want to know that'll it'll have a fighting chance at being able to run future game Z at an acceptable fps.
One of the best way to judge that is by seeing that it has excessive capacity for running current game X.
My current card is a GF1 DDR, and I will upgrade when I need to (probably when HL2 or DoomIII come out), and I don't want to have to buy another card when Quake4 or whatever other games come out next year.
When suicides are widely reported, the incidence of suicides go up. That's why Toronto, at least in the past, didn't/doesn't report suicides (or at least omits the information that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted).
Yeah, better to make people think there are lots of murders.:P

so don't go to blockbuster; there are plenty of $1 rental stores.
That is likely to aggravate the creation of mpeg-type artifacts.
Even the XBOX has been cracked.
It is if you're in the Chaos club!
Sadly, no one is even making 8-cpu Opteron systems or motherboards.
They probably wouldn't be able to get a US Visa though, without co-operation from the gov't.
The FBI did something like that to some Russian credit-card theives.
Just spammers and RIAA members.
You know what they say: "Good enough for government work."
And here's another free Up2Date server:
NRH-up2date
Most perl-based stuff will work under Windows with ActiveState's ActivePerl (free as in beer).
Bots are already starting to decode these. I've seen it myself on some spamtrap addresses I have hidden on our site.

Someone mod parent up; he's right:
The new sugar substitute has nothing to do with chirality or chemical synthesis. The article and the Slashdot item are misleading.
Here it is:

He must be related to Major Chaos.
There is another project which is making a free server that is compatible with RedHat's up2date servers.
I don't remember the name of it right now though.

Stuff like this really needs to be put into P2P systems like Freenet (if it hasn't already). This it what Freenet was designed for.
FWIW, Bruce is now saying that Applied Cryptography was too theoretical, and is now recommending Practical Cryptography instead for the common reader.
The DefCon presentation describes their authentication setup, IIRC.
Most likely.
