Pentagon Can't Even Keep Track Of The Systems That Keep Track Of Stuff

Pentagon Can't Even Keep Track Of The
Systems That Keep Track Of Stuff
07/08/2004 12:33 PM

The Pentagon certainly isn't known for efficiency in their business processes, and no one ever said they needed to be run in the same manner as a profitable business, but the fact that they can't even track the thousands of different databases and logistics systems that are supposed to keep track of all of their purchases and assets is a bit worrisome. At the very least it's a huge recipe for fraud, with plenty of already greedy enough defense contractors clearly abusing the system for great profit to themselves -- at the expense of our own tax dollars.

One of the more fascinating moments of today's White House press conference with Bush and Allawi came when the president, who claims to pay scant attention to public opinion polling (that's something Clintons do), referred to "right track/wrong track" polling in Iraq like he was George Gallup himself:

ZDNET Australia This is frightening.

Has the NSA had this for a long time?...

How to track an RSS feed


How to track an RSS feed 08/31/2004 06:59 PM

According to the HTTP specification, RSS/Atom aggregators should obey the HTTP 301 Moved Permanently header by altering the stored subscription URL for the feed they are attempting to retrieve.

This behaviour can be used to track repeat aggregator hits to a feed, in essence the equivalent a setting a permanent cookie. The first time an aggregator hits the published feed address, a 301 header is served redirecting that aggregator to a new URL incorporating a unique ID. The aggregator permanently changes the stored subscription URL, meaning future request to that feed will carry the unique ID that was assigned the first time the feed was retrieved.

At its most innocent, this could allow people to track their number of unique subscriptions - although the value of this would be severely diluted if people started deliberately subscribing to the same redirected feed URL. I'm sure there are more insidious uses for this as well.

Maybe aggregators should prompt users when a feed has permanently moved, to prevent them from being tracked without their knowledge.
