Stealth Ships 06/10/2004 09:52 AM

visby_ship.jpg imageThe Beeb has a short profile of the upcoming 'stealth ships' being designed by various world navies (including the U.S. and its DD(X) destroyers), focussing specifically on the Swedes' carbon fiber Visby Corvette, an angular low-profile (to radar and otherwise) ship with, among other innovations, includes a retractable 57mm cannon. Although there are many criticisms about building a 73-meter ship out of carbon fiber, some have questioned the Swedish Navy's decision to use Windows NT to control the operation of the ship, especially since, you know, that' s gone so well before. (I know it's a cheap shot, but I saw the story on Slashdot; I caught the open sores).

Stealth Overclocking


Stealth Overclocking 04/12/2005 01:05 PM

There's an awful lot of overclocking out there: The Windows team at Microsoft was getting some bizarre crash reports. They followed up on 10 of them, and found that five people had intentionally overclocked their system. As for the rest:

The other half said, "What's overclocking?" He called them and walked them through some configuration information and was able to conclude that they were indeed all overclocked. But these people were not overclocking on purpose. The computer was already overclocked when they bought it. These "stealth overclocked" computers came from small, independent "Bob's Computer Store"-type shops, not from one of the major computer manufacturers or retailers.

So are these shops buying slower processings, then overclocking them and selling them as CPUs of the actual speed they've been overclocked to? Sneaky. Sleazy.

Stealth Wallpaper 06/18/2004 07:00 PM
Silicon.com reports on BAE Systems's radio frequency blocking wallpaper: It's 50 to 100 microns thick and can adhere to most surfaces. It's a mesh of copper and a polymer created in a manner similar to how circuit boards are laid down. There's no timeline for commercial availability. Some versions can be switched on and off; others are permanent. [link via TechDirt]...

Stealth Lynndie-ing 08/18/2004 08:54 PM
In this warped variant of steal th disco, you strike the cigarette-dangling-from-mouth, finger-points-at-exposed-prisoner-genitalia pose made famous by Pfc. Lynndie England in Abu Ghraib torture photos. As a website devoted to Stealth Lynndie-ing explains, "The image has shocked, sickened and outraged people. But more importantly, it has captured the imagination of young men and women up and down the country who don't give much of a shit about anything."

I'm not sure what's more disturbing about this online photo gallery -- (a) the fact that people are sick enough do this, photograph this, publish it on the web, and think it's funny; (b) the fact that I'm blogging about it, or (c) the fact that Lynndie England bears a striking resemblance to the fellow in the photo at left.

Meshy Problems -- Or Stealth Marketing


Meshy Problems -- Or Stealth Marketing 06/30/2004 01:07 PM
The fact that wireless mesh networks have problems is nothing new. We've spoken about it plenty of times before, explaining how wireless mesh networks have issues with scalability and latency. What they're good at is redundancy. You can take out a node and the others should make up for it for the time being. These aren't particularly new issues, and, in fact, many companies and researchers< /a> are working to try to solve some of the bigger mesh networking problems. Obviously, it's good to take the glowing press reports about mesh networking with a grain of salt, but it looks like someone in the wireless mesh networking space is trying to use some "reverse psychology" to promote his own company. It may have seemed a bit odd to see someone who positions himself as an "insider" in the wireless mesh networking world (the founder and CTO of a mesh networking company) hesitantly posting a comment about how he wasn't sure whether or not to post it, but mesh networks have scalability problems. What was surprising wasn't the fact that mesh networks have scalability problems. As stated -- that's well known. What was odd was that a supposed insider felt the need to "leak" this well known info in such a hesitant manner. The reasoning becomes a lot less odd when you look at the website of the "mesh networking" company the guy founded (which I won't link to) -- since it contains pretty much the same info and suggests that his company has come up with the "solution" to the problem. Right. Okay. It's also clear that he wasn't all that hesitant to post this info, since he submitted identical information to our site in the form of a comment to a post from a year and a half ago... In other words, this isn't so much an outsider "revealing" insider secrets, but a method of stealth marketing. Pretend you're leaking a "dirty secret" about your industry to a blog, and then announce (surprise, surprise!) you've got the solution.
