Avacado thievery turns rural SoCal into
high-crime area with specialized cops

Avacado thievery turns rural SoCal into
high-crime area with specialized cops 01/26/2004 11:29 AM
The "Guac Cops" are a special squad of San Diego-area cops who specialize in busting -- and jailing! -- sneak-thieves who rob small avacado growers of thousands of dollars' worth of "green gold," especially around Superbowl season, when the fences are greedy for chip-dip.

Although there is no set profile of an avocado thief, law enforcement officials say many of them are transients or petty thieves who steal to support a drug habit, sometimes selling avocados to naive or unscrupulous roadside stands and restaurants or to wholesalers in Los Angeles. Last summer, in broad daylight, avocado thieves in Bonsall, west of Valley Center, shot at grove workers as they made their getaway. There were no injuries, but he thieves were never caught.

Ms. Cruz of the San Diego County sheriff's office said there tended to be a correlation between price and theft. Although reputable packing houses require documentation showing where avocados were grown, including an authorized signature, she said it was not difficult to launder avocados -- especially around the Super Bowl, which, along with Cinco de Mayo, is the biggest avocado day of the year. "They go anyplace you can think of," she said of rustled fruit. "There's a lot of guacamole out there."

Novell chief executive Jack Messman sat down with ZDNet UK on Monday at BrainShare in Barcelona, and gave a typically combative take on the current state of the software industry. According to Messman, Microsoft is under immense pressure to ship Longhorn before Linux becomes an even more compelling alternative to Windows. "Microsoft's strategy is simple: to be able to sell something to keep their customers engaged," he said. Messman also claimed that Microsoft opted to release the WinFS file system as a separate product and ship Longhorn sooner rather than give Linux more time to mature.

“An Australian security firm is about to launch a clustered Linux distribution that aims to utilize the unused nightly processing power of desktop PCs. Dubbed CHAOS, the software is able to remotely boot a computer and run it on Linux without affecting the local hard disk. With enough PCs, this has the potential of creating a distributed supercomputer. The project was driven by one challenge: the lack of time, said Sydney-based Pure Hacking, which specializes…

Japanese phones to receive realtime

Japanese phones to receive realtime
cartoon simulations of baseball games 04/11/2005 08:29 AM
Cory Doctorow: DoCoMo mobile subscribers in Japan will get video of US and Japanese baseball games sent to their phones this year, but not as live-action -- instead, the action will be re-created (presumably in near-real-time) using an animation engine, and the animations will be sent to the phone, along with sound effects and so forth. I imagine that this represents a substantial bandwidth savings (you could load the phones with the engines to render out all conceivable plays and then simply pass on the actual play-by-play in machine-readable form), and simplifying live video with pixel-art toons will make the action a lot less ambiguous on the tiny screen. This hearkens back to the golden age of American radio, when sportscasters would get a play-by-play from a ticker-tape and recreate the game with in-studio effects (thwacking a pencil on the table to simulate the sound of a home-run, for example), narrating it as though they were present at the match. Still, in this day, it seems a little odd to watch what amounts to a video game simulation of a probably-not-so-fantastic game when the actual video is probably within arm's reach.

...[A]vatars take the place of players and action is transformed, play by play into a cartoon like environment. This includes the roar of the crowd, scoreboard, the pitch, the strike and trajectory of the ball.

This isn't a game, by the way, but a cartoon version of a live game, produced by Craftmax's Digital Stadium and broadcast to DoCoMo 3G mobiles.

High End Linux Installations

High End Linux Installations 05/03/2004 04:46 PM

Linux weighs in: With all the hype about Linux on the desktop, and the presumption that Linux runs servers, a lot of people forget that pure Unix is its competitor in the server room. This article is talking about 500 or 1000-processor Linux installs — not your everyday workgroup server.

But at the high end of the computational power range — in supercomputers built by national laboratories, NASA or the Defense Department from clusters of processors — Linux is rapidly gaining ground on Unix as the operating system of choice. [...]

"There is minimal competition from Microsoft [Corp.] in this high-performance arena," he said. "There is tremendous competition if you're talking about the desktop or general server applications, but almost none in the high-performance space. It's mostly a wide-open field for Linux."

It's interesting to see how much of this type of Linux application is hinging on the improvements in the 2.6 kernel.
