*1984 Comes to Boston* is the Article - which I have responded to above - if you have read the posts - and now I am responding to your initial post *Your rights online? What a joke.* If you didn't think it was a *good* reply - sorry - but who cares? You apparently seem to think the police should be able to watch public spaces for possible crimes at all times and I pointed out how a recent Supreme Court ruling could be combined with this to create a database that could lead to abuses. You have no parent post - *1984 Comes to Boston*.
As for 'P.S. Still waiting on the audio, video or someone on the record about that sig.'
this proves the point precisely - the Amish - in whose company that conversation took place - still value a person's word, and have conveyed that message to the rest of us. Had they allowed video cameras, it would have made the occasion no more or less meaningful for those who attach meaning to GW's words. All these videos can be altered as well - as so many slashdotters have pointed out in the past.
Okay - look at the top of the page - 1984 Comes to Boston - that's about liberty - and that's about police questioning as demonstrated in a novel - in which multimedia methods were used to keep tabs on citizens that hadn't done anything wrong - Get it?
You could have searched for it, instead of having someone else do work for you - it's all over the place - and really offtopic from the subject - a real sign of a troll to pick out someone's sig rather than stay on topic - but here you go.
By newI mean the right to anonymity when questioned by police was just decided on in June 2004, so if a cop decided you were in the wrong place at the wrong time at the DNC, you would have to give your name, and with a camera, there would be a video log to go with it - That's new.
With the recent ruling from the Supreme Court, a video record could be used to create a database that could be correlated between activity deemed suspicious and logs of those people being asked for their identities. Similar record gathering means could then be in place for the RNC in NYC the following month. "Power it not a means, it is an end."
Yes - I did that - they told me it showed as a download, so there was nothing they could do that distinguished it. It was nearly 20 bucks - When I clicked to resume the download - the files just started disappearing - and then didn't even show in the purchased music file on my side - but apparenlty did on theirs - When I see an upgrade that says it addresses this issue, I'll start downloading again, but until then, I choose not to.
When a download failed to complete - and then failed to resume properly a la the supposed directions - 2 albums lost into the ether - Of course, I know the policies, so I paid for two downloads that never happened, but I wondered how many others that happened to. I saw quite a few on the discussion forums, and I have wondered what the real count of downloads would be - at least 20 short from my order. It's not a *bad* product, but there are some bugs.

It really was some security script they used that they don't want to tell us about that really could start wiping the database if a request ever came to dump all. In that case an earlier post that said smaller requests should be made and that would be the solution.

That only 7 people will respond to even after it made it to the *Main Page*. (like I once did:-)) Comfort yourself with the knowledge that you eight are the only ones that got it - well actually seven, since one was a joke on how few posts there were - start a secret society -
That way, you will know that you are really unusually bright, and virtually *all alone in this world*.
Seriously though, as some say in spanish "Dale Clavo" - accent on the *e* - (hit the nail). In other words - swing your hammer - take a shot - Do something, even if it turns out to be wrong - Piss or get off the pot. All those cliches.
You get better at what practice, for better or worse.
Well, see, we have an often ignored Constitution that says that powers not explicitly granted to the federal goverment (Education isn't mentioned in the constitution) are given to the state.
Yes, that's correct. Yet, the federal government has imposed a very large number of unfunded mandates(read: *the law of the land*) on the States through the No Child Left Behind Act (and other laws), leaving the States to pick up the slack. In most States, the federal government picks up only a relatively small amount of funding.
It has absolutely nothing to do with pride. It is sheer and simple pragmatism.
On a federal count, to not plead guilty, and then be found guilty adds to the number of points the judge uses in setting the sentencing. When you know you're guilty in a federal case, it is very foolish to plead innocent when the evidence is amassed against you.
I agree with you about the time needed. I wonder though - is this really an evolution model - or simply the normal iterations that one would go through testing anything from scratch? This seems more like *intelligent design* - not really random - but specifically selected to *win* - Whereas evolution occurs in response to a changing environment - not to preset rules.
"After several hundred generations, the neural networks had evolved well enough to play the game competently and were transferred into real robots for testing in a real environment. "The trained neural networks were copied directly onto the real robots' onboard computers," said Nelson.
"
As someone who spent a considerable amount of my childhood less interested in 'organized' sports and instead playing this game, it seems the whole point of playing Capture the Flag was to develop strategies in how to win. We had a set of rules that evolved over the years, depending on how many kids were playing, what time sunset (or the first person called back to their house would be), etc. We even had evolving words that were based on nonsense - or the inability of one of the younger kids to say a word (for instance - in some "Steal the Flag" games - the term "electricity" is used to talk about a strategy that involved making a line of kids that attacked from one end - they all held hands in the stragegy so that if anyone was captured they would automatically be "freed" by the "electricity" back to their own side. We deemed this a violation of the intent of the game, so we had a *no electricity* rule some little kids couldn't pronounce right - so it became "no a-la-ca-triss" - or something like that).
The game wasn't about *object avoidance*, it was about kicking ass through completely ad hoc strategies that had to be original because the teams always traded players rapidly, so you didn't want to make a rule or come up with something that would come back to bite you.
In this way - the random nature of our game was more like evolution than the winning was (it shuffled the components and allowed for *mutations*). The fact that the model showed no improvements with greater numbers of computers is not in line with what actually happens. The best games were the huge ones.
This simulation was probably a lot of fun to watch once the program was transferred to the robots though...
It mimics the earth's system by using pipes and controlling temperature and pressure to reduce the bio- remediation process from millions of years to mere hours.
The process entails five steps:
(1) Pulping and slurrying the organic feed with water.
(2) Heating the slurry under pressure to the desired temperature.
(3) Flashing the slurry to a lower pressure to separate the mixture.
(4) Heating the slurry again (coking) to drive off water and produce
light hydrocarbons.
(5) Separating the end products.
TCP is more than 80% energy efficient.
This calculation appears to not include the parasitic energy, including the energy needed to actually produce the crops.
Pimental concluded that even if all renewable energy forms, including biomass conversions could be implemented to their maximum (accounting for all parasitic energy needed for fertilizers, harvest, conversion to alternative forms, etc.) they would still only replace less than half of our annual fossil fuel use.

They're using it for crime control - not media coverage.
People do NOT have a right of privacy in public. This is nothing new.
Well this is something new with the current Court; very new.
