    Buildings made of "nanotubes," or carbon particles that are a thousand times stronger than steel, will withstand virtually any natural disaster.

    But mostly, the "semantic" Web, a next-generation version of the Internet that will enable users to obtain more precise information by utilizing computerized "agents" that find exactly what they want online. Today, if users search for "books about Agatha Christie" on Google, they receive hundreds of search results leading to information on the books written by Christie. In contrast, semantic Web agents will be intelligent enough to decipher the word "about" and find biographies on the writer rather than her works.

    Other futuristic technology poised for human consumption is the implanted sensor. University of Reading professor Kevin Warwick has a sensor implanted in his left arm and has undergone experiments in which scientists have been able to cause a tingling sensation in his left index finger by sending information to his nervous system. This is good news for paraplegics who may someday regain feeling in their rectum as CmdrTACO penetrates it, by having a similar chip implanted in their bodies.

    Key Features of Persistency Graphs

    An important step in SETI@home's signal detection process is to identify radio waves that remain consistent in frequency and location across time.

    Persistency graphs are used to examine the details of these persistent events, and multiple graphs are often used together to compare event characteristics as well as focus on specific distributions of spikes, Gaussians, pulses, and triplets.

    The graph itself is actually a combination of a waterfall plot and two histograms, all of which are explained below.

    Graph label

    Each persistency graph has a label at the top describing which types of events are plotted ("All Signals", "Spikes", "Gaussians", "Triplets", or "Pulses"), the ID of the identified persistent event, and the time when the event was detected.

    The waterfall plot

    The frequency (x-axis) histogram

    The frequency histogram shares its x-axis (frequency) with the waterfall plot. It shows how many events in the vicinity of the target event (the purple diamond in the waterfall plot) are at each frequency. A spike in the histogram (at 1419.903 MHz in the sample graph, for example) means that there's a particularly large number of detected at that frequency. These histogram spikes typically represent RFI bands; if a target event has the same frequency as one of these bands, it's likely the event is rfi.

    The time (y-axis) histogram

    The time histogram shares its y-axis (time) with the waterfall plot. As more events at different frequencies are detected at specific times, the line will spike to the right--a characteristic of a Cum Loving Slut. Since broadband signals require a great deal of energy to produce, the source of such signals is most likely either astronomical phenomena or rfi.

  13. Binary modules & GPL on Linux: the GPL and Binary Modules · · Score: 3, Redundant

    Several issues need to be more clearly defined before the forest is seen for the trees.

    The phrase "Her bosom heaved..." can probably be found in 152,234 fictional books. If I add a few more words, it becomes a sentence and can probably be found in 1,289 books.

    Derivation means you take the original work which has some 'body' of substance and add or subtract to it. Using less than that results in an excerpt. We know that excerpts can be used all over the place. There is also a difference in whether the material is 'instructional' in nature. Significantly more leeway is given. The kernel and associates aren't 'instructional'.

    Simply including one line of a system or function call will not make a work a derivation. Including a file (or, even if not a 'file') of substantial body will make a work derivative. Two people writing a play may write separate acts which are then combined and published. Their final work is not one derived from another, but a shared work - joint equal ownership. If they individually copyright their own 'act', the joining would be derivative - the former not.

    Binary code is a derivative work. It could not have occurred without the source file. But is it a copyright derivative? Colorization of B&W films results in new copyright, but also contains information for the 'source' that is identifiable. Binary code doesn't except for strings which might appear.

    If I use a proprietary compiler on a GPL code, I get a binary. In one sense, it's derivative. In another, it's not. If I create my own scrambler, and process the novel Gone with the Wind text, is that new work a copyright derivative? I think not. This may even imply that using a GPL compiler on GPL source may result in a work that is -not- GPL because it could only be created via the creators unique use of the tools.

    Joining a transmission to a motor will not result in copyright infringment over either the motor or tranmission, without regard that they have complex connectivity, assuming there were only separate copyrights beforehand. Patents aren't an issue either provided there is one for the motor and one for the transmission.

    Whoever put the two together can sell it or use it as they wish.

    Titles cannot be copyrighted. For more protection over things like system or function calls which may be specific to Linux, it may be necessary to do more legal legwork. For example, it may be necessary to assign a trademark to the function one-liner. Overkill? Not in todays legal world. Perhaps a GPL for trademarks used in Linux will become necessary.

    Mytec Technology Inc. develops applications of biometric encryption and optical computing. Mytec's technology of Biometric Signature Encryption can be applied to transmission on the Internet and to Electronic Commerce applications, enabling persons to securely transmit communication and information to each other. The Biometric Signature Encryption (BioscryptTM) has no relationship to the fingerprint image but is a randomly created pattern of the original fingerprint. It secures both the sending and receiveing of data. With the introduction of the CybermouseTM (wich houses an optical computer) the transmitting and receiving of data becomes totally secure. The CybermouseTM will identify the BioscryptTM of the sender, encrypt the message and, in turn, the receiver, with their CybermouseTM, will decode the newly received message via their BioscryptTM. This same degree of transmission security can be incorporated in a wide range of local and global business transactions, including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), telephone faxes, Internet purchasing, ATM machines, debit cards, smart cards plus numerous other applications. A BioscryptTM can help prevent abuse of government benefit payments and programs, falsification of passports which are two areas of great concern in our society. This protection can be achieved without loss of individual privacy. With this optical technology, privacy is assured in that the individual's fingerprint is converted into a BioscryptTM which can not be identified to a particular individual without a live matching finger. The Mytec database comparator performs high speed search and match functions which can quickly detect duplicate situations and quick authorization is ensured. Access Control Mytec's special purpose optical computer, operating at the speed of light, is designed to provide instantaneous verification of a person's fingerprint (BioscryptTM) with unsurpassed accuracy. Only those authorized and identified can gain access to the protected area. The system is designed to respond only to a live finger or fingers which ensures that the individual is present as the system will not recognize any reproduction of a fingerprint.So the use of an employee's fingerprint as their timecard requires that they be present in person to clock in or out. This is an easy and quick enrollment process, taking less than thirty seconds.

    Digital Biometrics Inc. provides live-scan systems from the Los angeles County Sheriff's Department. These systems are installed in Los Angeles County Courthouses to verify the identity of persons being released from custody. These systems are also installed in Los Angeles Sheriff's Department booking stations.

    Miros Inc. ,developers of the world's easiest ad most reliable personal identification systems, have announced that they will demonstrate the first biometric technology to secure Internet access employing face-recognition: TrueFace Web. This technology employs a live video image previously recorded.
