It was so interesting, in fact, that I reached out to Martin after my bear-rich Pacific Northwest roadtrip and asked for permission to reprint his article here. He graciously agreed. This article is broken up into four sections, which I titled: The Patriot Hack - From China’s Firewall to Lockpicking (15%) The Political and Technical Landscape (60%) Strategies to Protect Your Privacy (10%) The “Haystack” Call to Action (15%) emmineb Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:17:18 GMT http://www.cs.usfca.edu/%7Eparrt/course/601/lectures/unix.util.html Terence Parr Last updated: August 30, 2006 UNIX is an extremely popular platform for deploying server software partly because of its security and stability, but also because it has a rich set of command line and scripting tools. Programmers use these tools for manipulating the file system, processing log files, and generally automating as much as possible. If you want to be a serious server developer, you will need to have a certain facility with a number of UNIX tools; about 15. You will start to see similarities among them, particularly regular expressions, and soon you will feel very comfortable. Combining the simple commands, you can build very powerful tools very quickly--much faster than you could build the equivalent functionality in C or Java, for e emmineb Thu, 01 Mar 2007 08:25:43 GMT http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122367645363324303.html In early February 2007, Stephanie Lenz's 13-month-old son started dancing. Pushing a walker across her kitchen floor, Holden Lenz started moving to the distinctive beat of a song by Prince, "Let's Go Crazy." He had heard the song before. The beat had obviously stuck. So when Holden heard the song again, he did what any sensible 13-month-old would do -- he accepted Prince's invitation and went "crazy" to the beat. Holden's mom grabbed her camcorder and, for 29 seconds, captured the priceless image of Holden dancing, with the barely discernible Prince playing on a CD player somewhere in the background. emmineb Sun, 08 Feb 2009 12:39:55 GMT http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/01/ff_newrevolution/all/1 Chris Anderson, the editor of Wired, has a very good article in his magazine on the desktop manufacturing revolution. It's definitely worth the read and is complimentary with thinking being done on this blog re: resilient communities. Thus the new industrial organizational model. It’s built around small pieces, loosely joined. Companies are small, virtual, and informal. Most participants are not employees. They form and re-form on the fly, driven by ability and need rather than affiliation and obligation. It doesn’t matter who the best people work for; if the project is interesting enough, the best people will find it. emmineb Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:15:32 GMT http://indi.ca/2004/05/google-becomes-conscious-google-as-artificial-intelligence/ The way things are going, I think Google will be the first AI. That is, I think Google will become conscious. As a note, if I can have a conversation with something, I’ll consider it conscious. That’s the Turing Test for intelligence. Right now Google fails miserably. For example, I entered the terms Jesus will return and got: jesus will return to Kings Associated Press July End did did Nature build the worlds largest Sex personals site! I suppose nature can’t explain everything. I got an earlier response which was more relevant - it asked if Nature build the body and emotion, and said the brain was the most important invention … then it went on to mention the Quran and The Prophet by K emmineb Mon, 23 Apr 2007 12:02:53 GMT http://www.opennetinitiative.net/studies/china/ Paper on opennetinitiative.net.

When these machines detect the keyword, they do not actually prevent the packet containing the keyword from passing through the main router (this would be horribly complicated to achieve and still allow the router to run at the necessary speed). Instead, these subsiduary machines generate a series of TCP reset packets, which are sent to each end of the connection. When the resets arrive, the end-points assume they are genuine requests from the other end to close the connection — and obey. Hence the censorship occurs. emmineb Fri, 30 Jun 2006 13:54:30 GMT http://memepool.com/ emmineb Sun, 11 Feb 2007 14:48:50 GMT http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,289893,sid9_gci826135,00.html All Categories Cheat Sheets emmineb Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:33:45 GMT
