  8. Re:MVC For PHP on Zend Framework Released · · Score: -1

    No, the entire framework is written in PHP 5.
    None of it will be a compiled extension. One goal of the framework was to provide access to users on shared hosting, with no access to configure extensions.

  9. Thoughts From a Baltimorian on Downtown Baltimore To Get Massive Surveillance Network · · Score: -1

    I've read over most of the arguments presented in the comments above, and I thought I'd add my two cents being that I live within 5 minutes driving distance of the city.

    Whether or not the placement of cameras in the downtown area will reduce crime is arguable. I think the concept of hooking into the surveillance of public schools in the event of an emercency is a novel idea.

    Cameras in the middle of a downtown city are invading nobody's privacy - save maybe the homeless, because they live on the street. If I want to do something in private, I'll go to a men's room, or in the safety of my home. Downtown Baltimore is not what I'd call a remote location. What privacy would the cameras be invading? Watching you walk to work? That's something that thousands of other people see every day.

    I think the cameras, IF USED CORRECTLY, could be a deterrant in stopping criminal activity. The intent of the entire project is to do this, whether or not it will be successful or not is a completely different story. I think a lot of it will require police response time to alerts sent from these camera viewrs.

    The government does not care what you do with your time if they have no reason to believe your hobbies are illegal. It is also a prerequisite to have approved written authorization to do anything within the confines of your home. Police don't need a search warrant, nor are they invading any rights if they are placing security cameras on their land.

  10. Avoid password security issues on One-Time Pads To Protect Electronic Bank Access · · Score: -1

    Helpful tip: One can avoid password security issues entirely by banking in person.

  11. Re:Middle button? on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: -1

  12. Number theory on There Are Infinitely Many Prime Twins · · Score: 5, Funny
    but proving this remains one of the most elusive open problems in number theory

    I think we all know the most elusive open problem in number theory is "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"

  13. Funding? on Highest Bridge in the World Nearing Completion · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's probably a sign before you drive onto the bridge that reads: "World's tallest bridge! World's highest toll!"

  14. Re:What's the use? on Highest Bridge in the World Nearing Completion · · Score: 5, Funny
    What's the use of having a bridge that is that high? Just seems like a serious waste of resources just for bragging rights.

    They get serious flooding in that valley.

  18. Microsoft employing open source ideals? on SPF To Be Integrated With MS 'Caller ID' System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the Caller ID for Spam page:
    "Send your comments. We are circulating this initial technical specification for comment because we believe that your feedback can help make it stronger."

    Is it just me, or does that process sound dangerously close to open source software development? ;-)
