NASA Fired Will Carpenter for writing a short story. "Some kind of harrassment," they said, and since Texas is an at-will employment state, there's not much he can do about it. Is this story a valid means of self-expression or a harrassing glimpse into jilted anger? I've stumbled across more and more news stories about people being fired for writing, and students expelled for writing "dark poetry" in the classroom. How much do you have to keep secret from your classmates and co-workers?

Defcon, the hacker conference in Las Vegas held each year, established what might be a world record in Wi-Fi links: 55.1 miles: I wouldn't want to be standing between (or near) the two points, but it's a great achievement in the best hacker tradition. The winners of the second annual Defcon contest were teenagers--even better! I didn't realize the Guinness Book folks were monitoring these kinds of records; they say the world distance record is 192 miles, but it required a Swedish weather balloon. (Or a weather balloon in Sweden, to sound less kinky.) Let's not forget the Snipe Yagi, a Yagi antenna mounted inside what looks like a rifle with sniper sights....

HOWTO build a Bluetooth "sniper rifle"

HOWTO build a Bluetooth "sniper rifle" 03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Cory Doctorow: One of the security assumptions in Bluetooth is that attackers need to be quite close-by if they want to gain access to your phone or other device. Here's simple instructions for building a handsome, effective Bluetooth "sniper rifle" whose high-gain antenna will give you access to devices from miles away.

After a few seconds, John pointed the gun at the Library Tower / US Bank Building, which is the tallest building in Los Angeles. The building was .75 miles (a little over 1 km) from our position.

As more Bluetooth devices started appearing, John said, "This building is full of Bluetooth! Look we got some Blackberries!" He also explained that, with multiple guns, it would be possible to track a single Bluetooth device as the person walked around. In less than a few minutes, twenty devices were detected—all at distances over a half mile away! We decided to quickly conclude the scan, given police activity in the area earlier in the day from a bomb scare.

Barret's XM109: No-Hassle 25mm Sniper
Rifle 08/18/2004 08:38 AM

Barrett's prototype XM109 packs no-fuss, some-muss light armor penetration into a convenient point-and-shoot form factor that makes lofting 25mm sniper rounds downrange a relative walk in the park for today's workaday infantryman. Going into testing this month, the XM109 uses the computerized sighting-system "BORS" (Barrett Optical Ranging Sighting System) to automatically compensates for changes in air pressure, temperature, and the angle of the weapon towards the target, "taking all the sweat-math work out of first-round shots." Dial in the distance and take your shot - that armored vehicle should go down in the first round.

The XM109 can hold up to five of the 25mm rounds - derived from the dual-purpose (metal and meat) rounds used in the AH-64 Apache helicopter - and can penetrate up to 50 millimeters of armored plating, such as the stuff that protects many of aging SCUD missile launchers.

If given the green light by the armed forces, expect future production versions to incorporate a range-finder, night-vision capability, and sound suppression. (Thanks, Mikegre, you punk.)

This is probably phony, but it seems like something that might actually be used: The ID SNIPER rifle implants "a GPS-microchip in the body of a human being, using a high powered sniper rifle as the long distance injector. The microchip will enter the body and stay there, causing no internal damage, and only a very small amount of physical pain to the target. It will feel like a mosquito-bite lasting a fraction of a second. At the same time a digital camcorder with a zoom-lense fitted within the scope will take a high-resolution picture of the target. This picture will be stored on a memory card for later image-analysis." L ink (Thanks, Thorzdad!)

Al-Qaeda tells Madrid: 'We will defeat all the infidels'
11 March 2005

DUBAI- Al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, vowed to defeat "infidels and apostates" in response to a Madrid conference on terrorism.

"We tell the infidels and apostates, the enemies of God: whatever you do, you will be defeated. God promised us victory," read the statement from the Organization of Al-Qaeda of Jihad in the Land of Two Rivers, in a statement published on the Internet.

The authenticity of the statement could not be verified.

"How many times will the infidels and apostates meet to fight against Islam and combat the Jihad... They have other worries than to fight the Muslims and mistreat them," it said.

Hong Kong's Threatened Speech

Hong Kong's Threatened Speech 06/03/2004 12:13 PM

The Chinese authorities are mocking their promises of "one country, two systems," a promise they made when they got Hong Kong back from the British in 1997. As William Woo notes in this opinion piece today, four prominent talk show hots have gone off the air. Woo writes:

For the social, economic and political elites of Hong Kong, Albert Cheng's show may not have been required listening. But for them press freedom is important. One by one, the canaries in the coal mine are going silent. On this anniversary of Tiananmen Square, Hong Kong deludes itself if it imagines that it need not be concerned.

The concern there is real. I recently had an email from a friend I met while teaching in Hong Kong each fall for the past five years. He is a proud citizen of China and Hong Kong, and thought the Beijing government had meant what it said in the handover. He now fears the worst may occur. I hope China's rulers won't be that stupid. They have the power to do this. But they do not have anything like the moral authority. As they loosen their socialist economic grip on the mainland, they inevitably will have to allow genuine self-rule to emerge. Breaking promises but making Hong Kong a non-free city will not help China, but it could wreck Hong Kong, and show the world that Beijing's words are as hollow as its critics have said all along. This is a test for China. Right now, it's failing.
