Halliburton's busniess dealings in Iran

Halliburton's busniess dealings in Iran 07/07/2004 01:00 PM
Ha lliburton's business dealings in Iran: Waxman’s and Thompson’s complaints revolve around a Halliburton subsidiary called Halliburton Products and Services, which is based in Dubai and registered in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven in the Caribbean. As the Financial Times first reported, the subsidiary opened an office in Tehran in February 2000, when Cheney was still CEO of Halliburton. The subsidiary has sold $40 million worth of oil services in Iran.
Thompson, who is acting on behalf of the city’s pension funds, has asked Halliburton for clarifications about its business dealings in Iran, a country listed by the American government as a sponsor of terrorism and thus subject to stringent U.S. trade sanctions. Thompson claims that Halliburton has been using its subsidiary to circumvent a 1995 executive order barring American companies from doing business with Tehran.

Another day, another criminal probe into
Halliburton dealings with shady regimes. 07/20/2004 09:09 PM
Another day, another criminal probe into Halliburton dealings with shady regimes. This is for activities going back to the 1995-2000 period, when the current Vice-President was CEO of the petroleum exploration leviathan. It's also been well documented that Halliburton did business with Iraq during that same time period. This begs the question, how many "forbidden countries" were Halliburton doing business with during Mr. Cheney's stewardship? Note: it's somewhat related, though not quite the same, as this previous thread.

A study by a Swedish scientist may put the adoption of wireless networking education solutions such as Apple's iBook Wireless Mobile Lab in jeopardy. The study indicates that wireless network transmissions increase potential health risks such as headaches and future senility. According to ABCnews.com, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless hubs are well within the acceptable safety range, but some school boards, such as the Oak Parks school board in Illinois...

Music is too dangerous

Music is too dangerous 06/06/2005 12:11 AM
Today's copyright insanity comes from Bruce Schneier's blog:

A pen (and a flute) is truly mightier (and scarier) than a sword... I have an idea (for free use, just remember to pay me): Why don't we just license musicians the same way we license driving? I mean, obviously the music arts are very dangerous, as one could inadvertently play music that someone else has already invented, so we should slap obligatory training and yearly license fee for anyone who practices or performs music. This money could be used to pay starving artists (the mythical creatures that inhabit the caves in Kansas). In addition, we could also license listening to the music: make everyone pay every time they hear a tune that has been copyrighted. (No wait, I think that's already being done.)

For the humour impaired, the above paragraph is sarcasm. S-A-R-C-A-S-M. Or irony. I always get them mixed up. But I reserve the right to have been right if someone seriously suggests in the future that music performances in private establishments (like homes or offices) should be stopped because someone might play copyrighted songs.

Is copyright still enabling innovation and creativity? Maybe a hundred years ago - but today... I don't know. It certainly doesn't look like it anymore.

"I did a prototype of a ‘pitching machine’ sort of thingie powered by 2 sewing machine motors that was supposed to fire anything from pencils to Sharpies, but it turned out to be insanely over-powered…workplace murders would have gone through the roof if I’d brought it to market. I have a newfound respect for 2H pencils these days."

Bendable Lampposts For Less Dangerous
Crashes

Bendable Lampposts For Less Dangerous
Crashes 12/17/2003 01:12 PM
Years ago, I was driving down a winding, snow covered hill, and as the road turned left and I turned the steering wheel left, the car kept going straight - right into a lamppost. I'll admit, it wasn't the most fun experience of my life - though, amazingly, I did no damage to myself or the car's engine. The car's body was a different story. But despite the front of the car wrapping itself around the lamppost, I eventually drove the now oddly shaped car home. I wasn't going particularly fast when the accident occurred (it was a winding, snow covered hill, after all), so I can only imagine what happens to cars (and drivers) who hit lampposts at much higher speeds. Over in the UK, they're trying to do something about that by putting up more flexible lampposts that will "bend" under a car when hit. They actually have two different kinds of bendable lampposts. In the city, the lamppost is designed to buckle - so that it moves, but doesn't fall. In more rural settings (where it's less likely pedestrians are around) the posts are designed to fall. Already, the posts have been involved in a few accidents - including one of a car driving at 90 miles per hour - and none have resulted in driver deaths. One other benefit is that the material used to make these posts is apparently recyclable, which I guess will be helpful when trying to decide what to do with the crumpled post after an accident.

Conducting "secure" financial
transactions with Internet Explorer
isn't safe 07/06/2004 04:50 AM
The latest exploit is a file called "img1big.gif" that decompresses into a malevolent Browser Helper Object (BHO) that captures your financial transactions. According to a report from SANS, this BHO: watches for HTTPS (secure) access to URLs of several dozen banking and financial sites in multiple countries. When an outbound HTTPS connection is made to such a URL, the BHO then grabs any outbound POST/GET data from within IE before it is encrypted by SSL. When it captures data, it creates an outbound HTTP connection to http://www.refestltd.com/cgi-bin/yes.pl and feeds the captured data to the script found at that location. There are only two choices left with IE: Either don't browse the web with it, or don't use it for financial transactions. Thank goodness there are choices like Mozilla, Firefox and Opera, for those of us still chained to Windows....

As XML has become popular as a representation format for large sources of information, developers have begun to have problems with editing large XML files. This is especially true for applications that process large log files and need to constantly append information to these files. The most straightforward way to edit an XML file is to load it into an XmlDocument, modify the document in memory and then save it back to disk. However, doing so means that the entire XML document has to be loaded in memory, which may be infeasible depending on the size of the document and the memory requirements of the application.
