DVD Player Blamed for Fatal Crash

DVD Player Blamed for Fatal Crash 07/27/2004 06:19 PM

Trial examines role of dashboard electronics: Interesting legal case based around the latest road tech craze.

In what may be the first trial of its kind in the nation, prosecutors have accused the pickup truck's driver of second-degree murder for watching a movie instead of the road when he crashed head-on into the Jeep. [...]

Initial Alaska State Trooper reports said Petterson was at fault when he took his eyes off the road to reach for a soda. Stein, though, will try to prove that the DVD player was on, apparently playing the movie "Road Trip."

The guy in front of me at a light the other day was playing "The Lion King." I got to see the Simba and Scar duke it out before the light went green.

Fatal Vision Beer Goggles

Fatal Vision Beer Goggles 08/12/2004 03:25 PM

If you've been dying to experience the trippy visual distortion or the impaired driving ability of being drunk without the side effects people usually get drunk for, you're in luck. Fatal Vision, a company focused on impairment education, has created "beer goggles" and a vehicle which will do just that.

Four different levels of intoxication are simulated by an equal number of goggle types, ranging from a blood alcohol content level of less than .06 to greater than .2. SIDNE, the vehicle, has a delayed response to actions in order to simulate drunk driving. And at $8,495, its a bargain in comparison to downing a couple of margaritas!

Naturally, lengthy disclaimers on the site make it clear that these precise numbers are bunk. The goggles and car "demonstrate the concept of impairment and the dangers of impaired driving" -- but don't precisely simulate said effect.

At $149 a pop, the "beer goggles" are one expensive trip toy. But what I want to know is: will they make ugly people more attractive? Because if so, I know some married people who could use them.

Handling fatal and parse errors in PHP

Handling fatal and parse errors in PHP 12/02/2002 11:15 AM
PHP has a decent mechanism for error handling, but its implementation has one fatal flaw: it doesn't work with all errors. Some errors (namely, fatal and parse errors) simply slip through directly to the user. Fortunately, there are ways to overcome this problem: I will show you a trick to catch all errors.

Atom: The Fatal Flaw No One Has Yet Noticed

Now given that atom doesn't really exist yet, it may be early to make a draconian statement like "Fatal Flaw" but this is fairly awful from my perspective.  I was being interviewed for Under the Iron and the interview brought this to my attention.  The (most excellent) question was:

Q: When Atom/Pie/nEcho is officially a spec and people start to use the real extensive metadata possible with it, will you need to adapt Feedster to searching more efficiently? Also, since Atom/Pie/nEcho supports content as sound files, pictures and even video, do you plan to look into those files and index their metadata as well?

For the answer to the 1st part of the question, you'll have wait for the interview.  But the flaw to me was here "Atom supports content".  Now I don't have any problem with content being supported -- but -- Atom supports encoded content.  And that, to me, is a fatal flaw.

Here's the entry from the Atom wiki at: http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/content?action=highlight&;value=encoding.  And here's a sample entry:

<content type="multipart/alternative">
  <content type="image/jpeg" encoding="base64">
  xo+Hello0AFWeblogh5FWorldh1mImagedsTbrVbF3
  </content>
  <content type="text/html" xml:lang="en-us" mode="escaped" rel="fragment">
  <![CDATA[<p>Hello, <em>weblog</em> world! 2 &lt; 4!</p>]]>
  </content>
  <content type="application/xhtml+xml" xml:lang="en-us" rel="fragment">
  <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  Hello, <em>weblog</em> world! 2 &lt; 4!</p>
  </content>
</content>

Now if you notice the "base64" I'd have to assume here that they actually intend to support an image file within the RSS feed.  Now what happens when people start to actually use this.  You'll see issues like this:

• Every single user has to download that image.  Even if they don't want it. This both increases bandwidth and removes control from the reader.  It makes syndication more like email.  Oh that's a good idea !  Sheesh.
• Bandwidth usage with increase for everyone -- provider and reader. 
• There's no way to control who downloads that image (or video or audio) -- its all in the one syndication file and you have to download the file to see it
• If users are disabled (blind or hearing impaired) they still have to get the media.  That makes sense.  Yeah sure it does.  What was Mark Pilgrim thinking?  He even understands these issues.
• What happens when someone embeds something illegal or a pirated audio or video clip into their syndication file?  Who's liable?  At least when its linked you can choose not to follow it.  Now you could end up with stuff on your hard disc you have no idea was there.  And don't think it won't happen.  What about pr0n in the workplace?
• When you're a blog author do you have to choose every time that you want a media item to go in your feed or as a linked item?  Sure there can be defaults but what you really want is your tool to say something like this:
  
  This jpeg is 1.2 megs.  Your feed is downloaded on average 2500 times per day and this will cause X megabytes of bandwidth to be used costing you $154.37.  Do you want this in the feed where everyone will see it or as a link where only 25% (expected probability) will click on it.
  
  Shame no one will ever write that dialog box.  Good for hosting companies though.  Sure I want to give them more bandwidth.
• Let's play "Crash that Aggregator"!  Just wait until someone starts fiddling with encoding options and your aggregator is told to expect a jpg file and gets an EXE instead.  Think email is a security minefield now?  Guess what -- your aggregator is headed the same way if it supports encoded content. 

Atom support for encoded content.  What were they thinking ?  Sounds good in theory but in practice?  Yikes.  Just because you can do something technically doesn't mean you should.
