Nissan of Garden Grove, part of the Noarus Auto Group; consisting of five dealers throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties, has long been known as a source of local community support; it recently jumped in and helped save the Strawberry Festival, a key community event for over four decades. However, despite a strong position in the local market, the dealership was at a loss to find a way to breathe new life into its marketing campaigns and liven up customer response.As a community minded dealership, Nissan of Garden Grove was looking for a new and more effective way to reach customers and better establish personal relationships. It was then that the dealership heard about CallCommand’s powerful web-based calling system CallStream™, a tool that allows users to develop and send out targeted voice mail messages instantly from any location, with superior penetration: as high as 92% message delivery.

Stop SQL Injection Attacks Before They
Stop You

Stop SQL Injection Attacks Before They
Stop You 09/12/2004 11:33 PM
Armed with advanced server-side technologies like ASP.NET and powerful database servers such as Microsoft® SQL Server™, developers are able to create dynamic, data-driven Web sites with incredible ease. But the power of ASP.NET and SQL can easily be used against you by hackers mounting an all-too-common class of attack—the SQL injection attack. The basic idea behind a SQL injection attack is this: you create a Web page that allows the user to enter text into a textbox that will be used to execute a query against a database. A hacker enters a malformed SQL statement into the textbox that changes the nature of the query so that it can be used to break into, alter, or damage the back-end database. How is this possible? Let me illustrate with an example.

Nissan is deploying a device they believe will protect the car lots at their plants from being damaged by hail. The sonic cannon sends sound waves 50,000 feet into the air in an attempt to keep hailstones from forming.

It automatically activates when its own weather radar system detects conditions favorable for the formation of hail. It fires every 5.5 seconds, making a sound we know can be heard at least five miles away from the Nissan plant near Canton.

If they'd only develop the same sort of thing to deter tornadoes I'd feel much safer living here in South Dakota.

Thanks Leo.

All hail Peter Jackson!

All hail Peter Jackson! 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
The money behind LOTR.

Miramax (owned by Disney) acquired the rights to The Lord of the Rings in 1996 but backed out of the deal in 1998 when Peter Jackson presented his budget. New Line Cinema (owned by Time Warner) stepped in and, under producer Barrie Osborne, stepped up to the plate. The three installments cost a toal of $270M to produce, and that's before marketing costs were added, not to mention the vaseline budget for the cameras filming Liv Tyler.

So, here's a toast to the money guys who said Yes to a director whose pitch must have gone something like this:

I'd like to film one of the most beloved and jealously protected literary properties in history.

I'd like to turn it into a sword-and-dwarves epic that will run somewhere between 9 and 11 hours.

I plan on shooting the largest, most complex battle scenes in history. And you can trust me based on my work in Heavenly Creatures.

We'll have to invent the most convincing CGI effects ever. In fact, the pivotal character will be made entirely of pixels. And you can trust me to bring true humanity to the art of digital acting based on my breakthrough work in Meet the Feebles.

A work of this scale will require marshalling 25,000 people over the course of several years. And I think I proved my ability to do so with Valley of the Stereos.

All hail Peter Jackson! But thanks, for once, to the money people who took the leap with him.
