  1. What a fucking jerk on Sandvine CEO Says Internet Monitoring a Necessity · · Score: 1, Interesting

    His first sentence is that he thinks looking at everyones digital-internal communications is the most difficult, and therefore he wanted to do it because of it being the most difficult problem to solve.

    From the article:

    "CBCNews.ca: During the panel discussion, you sounded more like a technologist than a business executive, where you're more in tune with what you're actually making as opposed to selling it. What do you consider yourself? Caputo: I'm very passionate about our technology and I'm pretty passionate about the concept with which Sandvine was founded on, and that was to improve the quality of the experience on the internet. When we first set down that path, the idea of looking at every packet⦠we said this is the most difficult problem that we could possibly imagine. The internet is so big, so vast, so continuous. And then we said that's "cool." We're going to attack a problem where we can't imagine there's a more difficult problem. I take nothing away from rocket scientists or biologists who are trying to cure cancer, but in our domain we really couldn't think of a more difficult problem, and that really excited us."

    What the hell is that about? Did anyone jump when they read the first part of the article and saw that?

    Hey Dan,

    Thanks for sharing your story. It makes me feel good to know that others are experiencing the same. Did you get your $300 back? I am in the middle of getting a Police Internal Complaint filed. I also just contacted a news reporter in Toronto about this. Looks like I'm going to get an interview! I hope I can get the awareness out to everyone, about what our rights are about videotaping/recording conversations with police.

    thanks, (I'll try to come back and post the URL to the CBC story, by the end of the week)

  12. Canada is not as free as you think either on NH Man Arrested for Videotaping Police · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I am in the process of filing a complaint against the Peel Regional Police (Peel Regional Police) (Toronto and area) for seizing my camera, blackberry and looking through my stuff in the trunk---ALL THE WHILE I SAID I DO NOT CONSENT TO A WARRANTLESS SEARCH. I repeated this about 5 times and kept reminding them.

    They even went as far as to delete the audio recording that I had set on recording of them and they deleted the movie I made of them tail-gating each other and not-signalling lane changes.

    I then asked to get all of the officers names and badge numbers and the supervisor said NO!!! I said I demand the information as I am entitled to it, but they took off. The supervisor gave me only 2 of the 3 officers names even after that!

    I am ready to post this on my website tonight. This happened to me in Brampton, Ontario ---by the Pearson International Airport.

    Canada isn't as free as you think. What am I do? How can I get the media to take up my story?

    Just check out how corrupt the Peel Police are:

    - " Misconduct Allegations

    Between 2005 and 2006, Peel Regional Police have been sued numerous times for police brutality and misconduct. As well as having some of their officers face serious criminal and Police Services Act of Ontario charges.

            * $9.5 million lawsuit filed by a black police officer, Const. Duane Simon, an 18-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service, alleging false imprisonment, abuse of public office, injurious falsehoods, negligent investigation and breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. [1]

            * $3.6 million lawsuit alleging seven off-duty officers attacked seven students from Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, and that the police are covering up the identities of the officers involved in order to thwart possible criminal prosecutions. [2]

            * $14.6 million lawsuit filed by former Toronto Argonaut football player Orlando Bowen, who says he was assaulted and falsely arrested by a group of negligent and racist officers at a Mississauga night club. [3]

            * Const. Sheldon Cook, 38, was arrested by RCMP officers at his residence, where it's alleged 15 kilograms of cocaine were found hidden in a storage area of his home. Cook is also named in a lawsuit by Orlando Bowen. [4] [5]

            * Const. Roger Yeo, 36, of Mississauga, is alleged to have watched and followed several young girls. Yeo was suspended with pay and was charged under the Police Services Act for discreditable conduct, but has not been criminally charged. [6]

    Accusations of police abuses involving racism have plagued this police department since the late-80s. When a black teenager from Jamacia, 17-year old Michael Wade Lawson, was shot to death by two Peel Regional Constables on December 8th, 1988. [7] "

  22. ...I practiced with the Alberta team last year. on 2006 ACM Programming Contest Complete · · Score: 0

    ...one thing that is not of concern is input parsing. We had so much practice reading in any well-defined formats. The hard part is really finding the best algorithm that is asymptotically the best. Remember that your solution must compute not just a few sample questions. It will have to process 1000-1000000 test cases in under a few seconds and under certain memory limits. When you focus on the core algorithm and incorporate the scaffolding for input and into automation---you only need to focus on the algorithm and doing it correctly. The test cases the judges run during each submission test for all previously known 'base cases' and will ensure that any solution less than 100% perfect will fail. If you are interested in practicing ACM problems... please check out the Spanish ACM Archives. (http://acm.uva.es/ Pick a problem and submit it to the online judge and see how it is. The trick to a lot of these problems is the mathematics of the solution--not necessarily any 'computation'. Why compute something recursively, when there's a theorem that can provide the answer immediately? The problems are designed to capitalize on 'tricks' like this.
