the Emerging Threat of an “Intelligent”
Computer Virus. 08/13/2004 03:27 AM
When we see a headline about weapons of mass destruction, we immediately think of Islamic terrorists launching chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. But another type of weapon will become equally dangerous and much more available within the next decade: an artificially intelligent computer virus. Dan Ronco explores this emerging threat in PeaceMaker, his new scifi thriller, released August 1, 2004 by Winterwolf Publishing. Complimentary copies are available to qualified individuals.

Career choice: computer programmer or
commercial diver?

Career choice: computer programmer or
commercial diver? 09/06/2004 06:04 PM

Starting reading an interesting book this Labor Day:  Sha dow Divers.  The journalist author chronicles the adventures of a group of guys who find a sunken WWII German submarine off the coast of New Jersey in 230' of water.  This was in the early 1990s, when deep divers were mostly still using compressed air and therefore getting nitrogen narcosis and risking decomp ression illness.  None of the divers using the then-experimental trimix of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen got sick but three guys using compressed air died trying to figure out the identity of this wreck, which was not known to either German or U.S. authorities.

One of the main characters of the book is John Chatterton, who had been a medic in the Vietnam War, and in the early 1980s he was considering using his G.I. Bill benefits to learn computer programming:

"I can't become a computer programmer."

"What are you saying?" [his wife Kathy responded]

"I can't spend the rest of my life sitting under fluorescent lights."

Chatterton went on to become a commercial diver and visited offshore wrecks on weekends for recreation.  Bill Nagle was a legendary diver and charter boat captain.

One day Nagle paid [Chatterton] the highest compliment by saying, "When you die no one will ever find your body."

That's one way to pick a career...

[Last night I finished another interesting book, Sn owball Earth, about life on Earth at the end of the Pre-Cambrian, which seems to have consisted of runaway glaciation (ice reflects sunlight thus breeding more ice) followed by CO2 greenhouse warming.]

Rape as a weapon of war. 07/28/2004 12:49 PM
Rape as a weapon of war: sexual violence and its consequences Amnesty International offers a stirring and comprehensive account of what's going on in Darfur: "When we tried to escape they shot more children. They raped women; I saw many cases of Janjawid raping women and girls. They are happy when they rape. They sing when they rape and they tell that we are just slaves and that they can do with us how they wish." [more inside]

LAPD to Design Less Weapon-Like
Flashlights

LAPD to Design Less Weapon-Like
Flashlights 08/11/2004 08:02 AM

LAPD officers will soon be carrying a new committee-designed flashlight that is "lightweight, bright and virtually incapable of causing serious injury." The standard-issue 2-pound metal flashlights - such as those used to beat suspected car-thief Stanley Miller - will likely be phased out in the next few months. Based on shortcomings of the current flashlights, it's likely the new custom torches will have long battery life, be wieldy enough for a single hand (gotta keep the gun hand unencumbered) and be able to plug into LAPD police cars for recharging. The current, club-like models use D-cell batteries. (Thanks, Susudio!)

It's weird to see an article like this after how pro-war and pro-Bush the Stern show was after 9-11. (Free registration required, ctnow.com)
