The American Military Coup of 2012
The American Military Coup of 2012
12/06/2003 04:28 PM <
i>The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012 was
written in 1992 for the US Army War College's military journal
Parame
ters, and describes how the US has fallen victim to a military
coup. The article was intended as "a literary device intended to
dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting
the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction." But
following a recent article by military affairs analyst William
Arkin on how
American armed
forces are assuming major new domestic policing and surveillance
roles, some worry that mission creep is
making
Dunlap's scenario more feasible.

Toppling
Saddam: Iraq and American Military Transformation
(pdf)
The relative speed and ease of the first phase of the war in
Iraq are due in part to U.S. military prowess, but also to Iraqi
weakness, according to a critical internal account prepared for the
U.S. Army."The shortcomings of Saddam's military played an
important role in limiting the cost of major combat operations in
Operation Iraqi Freedom. Coalition strengths were important
contributors, but so were Iraqi weaknesses."As a result, there
are "important limitations on the Iraq War's lessons for other
defense planning challenges.... The Iraqis' shortcomings created a
permissive environment for Coalition technology that a more skilled
opponent elsewhere might not," according to the study Foreword.
The study, which does represent an official U.S. Army perspective, has
not been formally released. See also

d Bowie invites fans to remix his songs.
David Bowie
has today asked fans to bootleg songs of his latest album
“Reality” to create a new song (mash-up).
The British music star has given fans the right to create
a new song by using computer music software to blend or “mash
up” two existing tracks.
The winning song will be released as an MP3 and its
creator will win a car.
”I’m very comfortable with the idea and have
been the subject of quite a few pretty good mash-ups myself,”
Bowie told The Times newspaper.

Attorney General,

issues a
new official
memo (pdf)on torture, reversing and specifically repudiating the
definitions of torture from
the
August 2002 memo addressed to Gonzales. The new memo states,
among other things,
'we disagree with statements in the
August 2002 Memorandum limiting "severe" pain under the
statute to "excruciating and agonizing" pain [...] or to
pain "equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious
physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function,
or even death'

Private Johnson Beharry awarded the Victoria Cross. The
Victoria Cross
is Britain's highest award for bravery in combat. It's awared is
incredibly rare. The last awards were made
posthumously
after the Falklands War in 1982. The last living recipients were
two Australians in
the
Vietnam War in 1969. It is said that in order to qualify for a VC,
conditions must be so dangerous that only 10% of recipients survive.
The actions of
Private Johnson
Beharry are therefore worthy of a mention.

While
Uptowners were making their way downtown to have their portraits
painted by Warhol, Downtowners were going up to 107th Street to sit
for this bohemian, auntie-like artist." Check out seven
decades of raw, sometimes amazing, but always deeply humane portraits
of the often larger-than-life figures who peopled the New York art/lit
scene and Neel's personal landscape, including such iconic
irrepressibles as
Joe Gould,

The Hero of WWDC
06/17/2005 04:30 PM(Update 12 June 2005: this post has been edited so that no one person
at Apple is singled out—teams are teams, and the entire Intel
team deserves a huge round of applause.)
At WWDC a member of the Intel team helped me get NetNewsWire and
MarsEdit building as universal binaries. It took a little under two
hours. It took as long as that only because these two apps are made up
of over a dozen projects, and we had to change the settings (the
famous checkbox, plus some other things) and rebuild each project
individually.
Code changes? Nope, just time spent mainly in various inspector
windows in Xcode getting things set up correctly.
And that’s why I think this transition will be a
success—because it was so easy to create universal binaries,
thanks to the great work of these folks and the hands-on help they
gave developers at WWDC.
I’m aware that for some developers the transition won’t be
so smooth. But it will be smooth for a huge number of developers, and
that’s an incredible achievement.
SBC is Hotspot Hero?
SBC is Hotspot Hero?
07/26/2004 12:37 PMThey're late to the game, but they're ready to party: It's a funny
thing. When SBC Communications first announced their FreedomLink plans
last year with plans build 6,000 hotspots over a couple of years, it
seemed like yet another announcement of large numbers with no track
record. Cometa was still on its 20,000 hotspots prediction and had
only a handful. McDonald's hadn't decided its partner and was in
limited trials. Wayport seemed stuck on hotels. And T-Mobile stayed
focused--as it still does--on a few ubiquitous chains. In the space of
a few months, SBC has moved from last man in, to practically first
mover. Let's review: The UPS Store. They will install Wi-Fi in
thousands of UPS Store outlets, which are places that business people
already congregate. This will probably also necessitate a change of
thinking for that mailing and business operation so that they can make
it easier for people to work for periods of time in their stores.
Wayport managed services. They hired Wayport to build out their
FreedomLink locations instead of creating a new division with no
experience in house. Wayport's Wi-Fi World and McDonald's. They're the
first telco to sign up to resell Wayport's McDonald's network, which
will ultimately be several thousand stores over the next couple of
years. Wayport/McDonald's supplier. They're also providing DSL and
other connectivity to many of the McDonald's that Wayport is
disconnected, which is part revenue, part branding for them as part of
the Wi-Fi World co-marketing model Wayport is pursuing. Airports,
airports, airports. They have roaming agreements now for their
FreedomLink users onto Concourse, Wise, Wayport, and (reportedly)
Sprint PCS's airport locations. There are only a handful of major
airports not represented by those networks: SFO and Boston Logan are
the two that come to mind. Pushing Wi-Fi into homes. SBC is selling
3,000 Wi-Fi routers a day to their home DSL users. This will drive
adoption by their users of Wi-Fi. People without Wi-Fi will buy
adapters or new systems because of the ease of sharing. Pushing
hotspots subscriptions to their DSL subscribers. It's a coming, and
it's going to be good--SBC keeps saying in its press releases that
they will offer FreedomLink at a substantial discount to their DSL
subscribers. $10 per month for unlimited use? $8? $15? Who knows. But
it's an audience they've already got and they can offer them
nationwide service with several thousand locations...
SARS Hero Jailed?
SARS Hero Jailed?
07/01/2004 10:23 AMTim Bishop: Dr. Jiang
Yanyong, hero of the SARS epidemic, imprisoned in China.
According to several sources, the Chinese authorities have detained
Dr. Jiang Yanyong, the retired surgeon, People's Liberation Army
veteran, and long-time Communist Party member who was one of the heros
of the SARS epidemic. As you may recall, at a time when the Chinese
government was lying and denying that there were more than a handful
of SARS cases in China, and was driving SARS patients around Beijing
in ambulances to hide them from the World Health Organization, Dr.
Jiang Yanyong wrote and signed a letter to the Beijing TV station and
Time Magazine telling the truth about the magnitude of the SARS
epidemic in Beijing. This simple act of truth telling did as much as
any other act to stop the spread of SARS, and to begin the process of
containing the epidemic. As I noted earlier, given that the party line
became that the officials who concealed the SARS epidemic were the
wrong doers, Dr. Jiang Yanyong was not punished for speaking out, and
was even faintly praised in a People's Daily article.

is known as the father of Cybernetics. His 1948
book on cybernetics is standard reading for AI and Robotics
engineers even
today. He was a child prodigy, wrote science fiction, and did some of
the
earliest computer research on chess playing algorithms (after being
defeated at
chess by a chess playing
automaton built by 19th century Spanish scientist Leonardo Torres y
Quevedo). His ideas on feedback provided part
the basis for John Von Neumann's pioneering work. Flo
