  1. Re:A typical Slasdottian/geek attitude on Tracking People Via Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Not tracking phones. Using phone signals to create a radar system to track moving objects. Even those that have no phone.

  2. Re:That's pointless on Tracking People Via Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    This does not rely on criminals carrying a mobile phone. It has little to do with tracking mobile phones. It uses the mobile phone network, that sends radio waves all over the place (well.. not 100% coverage.. but close) and by some clever technology these radio waves can be used as a radar system. Again, not to track phones, but as a normal radar syste, - to track moving objects. The article explains how they can monitor the surroundings of a nuclear power plant.. to see if anyone/anything is moving towards it... and then be able to target that location with a moving cctv camera.. rather than needing cameras pointing everywhere. Simply.. this is a radar system covering the whole UK - and they are working on getting it tracking movement inside buildings. So when a crime has been commited, they won't need a helicopter and police cars to track the criminals fleeing. Simply use the radar system, follow them to their secret base, and bingo. Note to self: locate secret base where I cannot get a mobile phone signal

  5. Re:Ballmer on Ballmer: "We'll Outsmart Open Source" · · Score: 1

    Similar could be said of anyone looking at GPL code. (not owned, but should be GPL'd etc). This is an issue with looking at _anyone's_ code.. (well.. maybe not BSD licenses..).

    Well I certainly don't want the wheel to be re-invented if it ends up as a mousetrap. How would I cycle around on my bike?

  7. Using a mirror to read isn't that helpful on Google Mirror Beats the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    The words are backwards.. but the letters are not.. so if you use a mirror, the words become forwards and the letters backwards. So might as well just not use a mirror.

  8. Re:Can't they catch this sooner? on Crusher Crushed from Nemesis · · Score: 1

    Because they all need to keep their job at code maintenance.... it's easy to slowly take out the bugs you deliberatly put there... and you get paid for all that time.... hmmm.. delicious!!!

  9. Re:Oh well... on UK Prepares Own Version of the DMCA · · Score: 1

    Ireland.. part of the EU .. and if you read the other posts, they too will be oblliged to pass such a law .. just as the UK is. Damn the EU

  10. Re:Education shouldn't be the focus. on Malaysia Says Piracy (Might Be) OK for Learning · · Score: 1

    There's no point in Microsoft letting an educational institution run rampant with piracy. The institution has little to zero option of using their software.. so MS gets easy money.

  11. Re:Nyet! on John Gilmore Sues Ashcroft et al. for Freedom to Travel · · Score: 1

    > Gha. Talk about not understanding what "confiscated" means.
    Point taken.. but when I confiscate things off kids (in school) they always get them back some time later.. well... usually... :)
    Anyway.. confiscated as a term is commonly used.. and doesn't mean you never get your stuff back.

  22. Re:yeah right its like bicycles on UK to get Public Wireless LAN · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually.. Cambridge coucil 'recycled' old and unclaimed stolen(recovered or lost) bikes. Painted them green and left them around to be free to use. They were less likely to be stolen due to being obvious (green) and were very popular. And guess what.. theft of other bikes was reduced because the green ones were easier to steal. That was part of the whole thing. There was no real monetary loss for the green ones stolen.. and a gain because property of individuals was safer. It was a _very_ good plan.
