Police In UK Want To Stop Your Car At
The Press Of A Button

Police In UK Want To Stop Your Car At
The Press Of A Button 12/22/2003 02:11 AM
Over in the UK, police are requesting the power to stop cars remotely at the press of a button. The technology, of course, is not difficult, and already some anti-theft systems let people kill the engines remotely. Oddly, the story includes a quote from police saying they already have the power to press a remote kill switch on cars - but details aren't given. The worries are (a) that people will freak out about Big Brother-ish use of technology (b) or that the cars won't be able to be stopped safely. Considering that most attempts to do automatic braking scare people, the idea of completely stopping a car without warning the driver could go over quite badly. Related to this, though, police are also suggesting using the same technology to enforce mandatory speed limits - where the car refuses to go above a certain speed. Furthermore, the article suggests that these speeds could be made variable, such as lowering the top speed on certain roads during inclement weather. Not sure about in the UK, but I imagine there would be riots if such technology were introduced in the US. People here seem to believe that speeding is a right.

We have all been there. Well, maybe not all of us, but I am sure that the majority of readers have considered a job travelling (full travel, I'm not talking about you wussies who drive to the next city once a month for a meeting). There are, however, many issues with travelling full time, some obvious, some not. Here are some thoughts to keep in mind if you ever travel for work.

UK Bobbies Save Parliament from Time
Travelling Robot 03/28/2005 10:30 AM

In a telling remnant of iron-fisteded imperial tendencies, armed police took down a friendly robot who was taking a lovely stroll near the UK's Parliament building. The Dalek, hand-built and operated by one Ken Meikle, was built as a project for his brother, who has Down's Syndrome. Apparently the remote control robots are fun to drive on the sauce:

'They are quite difficult to operate, and the huge dents in our living room wall are proof you should never get behind the controls of a Dalek with a drink in 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.

National Review, Pro-Drug? I was searching for information of drug use in Vietnam and during wars in general, when I found this gem. Scroll halfway down to a very interesting pro-drug discussion between the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience and Mr. William Buckley. A little dated (1990), but I never thought I'd come out of an article thinking to myself, "Maybe all drugs should be legal."

The Ads Don't Stop

The Ads Don't Stop 05/06/2004 07:17 AM
On Monday I stopped into the post office. The United States Postal Service office. Federally-run. You know. The red-white-and-blue shipping company. I was stunned to see Shrek 2 cross-marketing everywhere. A huge orange poster describing April as national "write-a-letter" month featured Princess Fiona swooning over a love letter from Shrek. The jive-talking donkey winked at me from the shipping rates/times table above the counter, which featured the quip: 'we haul it fast.' [hoho!] I guess it's an inevitable consequence of the Postal Service being spun off as an independent business unit that sooner or later, the spaces inside it would be sold off for marketing dollar. It's just the last place I expect to be inundated with 'see-our-movie' marketing but as time goes by, no space is kept sacred from advertising. It will likely get worse. Can you see it now: the golden-arches postage stamp?

Stop the music

Stop the music 04/09/2004 04:02 PM

I’ve been viewing a lot of sites while reviewing for BlogSnob and I’m a bit annoyed. What’s with all the music on people’s sites? Is this 1998 again?

In case you were thinking about having your favorite tune load up when people visit your site—don’t. It takes a long time to load. The sound quality generally stinks. It crashes some browsers. And most of all, your musical tastes are not likely the same as all of your visitors. I have my own musical selections, thank you. I don’t need to hear yours.

One-Stop Returning

One-Stop Returning 12/31/2004 08:21 AM
A group of manufacturers is quietly pushing a fully automated anonymous return system that can print out receipts for rival retailers. The largest retailers are buying in.

Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop.

Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop. 07/24/2004 01:10 PM
Mr. O'Reilly, You have declared a "war" on the New York Times. That's good for you, good for them, and good for our democracy: Strong opinions deserve strong spokesmen. Your battle will help sharpen a debate about matters important to the Republic. But in waging this "war," you are continuing to abuse a man whom you have wronged, and to whom you owe an apology. On February 4, 2003, Jeremy Glick was your guest on THE FACTOR. Glick had lost his father in the attack of 9/11. He had also signed an ad criticizing the war in Iraq. You were "surprised" that one who had lost his father could oppose that war. And so you had him on your show, presumably to ask him why. (Here's a clip from Outfoxed putting this story together.) You might not remember precisely what you said on that interview, or more importantly, what Jeremy Glick said. So here's a copy that you can watch. Nor may you remember precisely what the ad that Jeremy Glick signed said. Here's a copy that you can read. And when you've watched what was actually said, and read what was actually written, I'm sure you will see that the statements you continue to make about Jeremy Glick are just plain false. Not Bill Clinton "depends upon what is is" false, but false the way most Americans learned growing up: just not true. For example:

• in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "accused the USA itself of terrorism." Read the ad, Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
• in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "equates the United States with the terrorists." Read the ad, Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
• in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "absolutely says" that the United States is to be "equated" with the terrorists. Read the ad, Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
• on February 5th, you told your viewers that "Glick was out of control." He may have been out of your control. But you and our government have got to learn that just because someone disagrees with you, he doesn't become a security threat. Again, watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He was not "out of control."
• on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing hatred for this program." Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He criticized you, not the program, for unethically using sympathy for the 9/11 victims for your own political ends. He was calling your behavior improper. You had not earned his hatred.
• on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing hatred for ... his country." Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He said no such thing. He specifically distinguished the people he was criticizing from "the people of America." He, like the rest of us, loves our country, even if we disagree with its political leaders, or your political views.
• on February 5th, you accused him of using "vile propaganda." What does "propaganda" mean to you, Mr. O'Reilly? He was disagreeing with your views. Why is that "propaganda"?
• six months later, you said that Glick said that the Bushes "were directly responsible for 9/11." Again, watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He said no such thing. Indeed, he twice denied it.
• eleven months later, you said Glick "came on this show and accused President Bush of knowing about 9/11 and murdering his own father." This, Mr. O'Reilly, is a total, if not pathological, fabrication. Glick said nothing about Bush "knowing" about 9/11. He said nothing about Bush "murdering" his own father. Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. Your statements characterizing what Glick said are absolutely false.
• just last week, you again repeated the claim that Glick said that President Bush was "responsible for his father's death." He said nothing of the sort.
• just last week, you repeated the claim that Glick "implied that the United States itself was a terrorist nation." Glick said nothing of the sort.
• just last week, you said Glick said "America itself was responsible for the 9/11 attack." Glick said nothing of the sort.
• And finally, and most extraordinarily, just last week you repeated the claim that "security actually had to take the guy out of the building, he was that out of control." This, Mr. O'Reilly, you know to be absolutely false. Indeed, it was you who threatened physical violence against Mr. Glick after his interview, and your own staff that apologetically begged Mr. Glick to leave as quickly as he could, fearing that if you saw Glick again, as they said, you would "end up in jail."

I understand how someone loses his temper, Mr. O'Reilly. I have done the same myself. But a decent man apologizes for his lack of control, and he certainly doesn't continue to abuse someone he has wronged. Mr. Glick is not the New York Times. He will not earn more money from higher ratings because you attack him so viciously. Neither he nor his widowed mother get any benefit at all from seeing Glick slandered by your on a regular basis. You are wrong about the facts, Mr. O'Reilly. And you are wrong to continue to do such harm. Have the courage to admit your error. Apologize to Mr. Glick, and let him go back to a life that has been made difficult enough by, as you said, the "barbarians" who killed his father. This family has suffered enough from barbaric behavior.

Stop WSDM

Stop WSDM 03/14/2005 05:56 PM
Over at OASIS, they’re working on YAWSS (Yet Another Web-Services Spec) called WSDM. The committee decided they were done and asked for an OASIS-wide vote; the result was 67 yes, 7 no. Interestingly, the 7 “No” votes weren’t about the substance of WSDM, they were about the fact that it has dependencies on all sorts of other WS-bric-a-brac that isn’t finalized yet, including a W3C Submission and a bunch of other committee drafts. The committee pondered this and decided to go ahead and make it a standard anyhow. I tried to go and read WSDM and it made my head hurt, severely; it’s gnarly and huge and complicated and seems to depend on lots of other gnarly and huge and complicated things. So, anyone who wants to implement this is going to have to make a major investment, and since a lot of the relevant specs are unstable, you just know some part of that investment is going to get thrown on the trash-heap. Interoperability? Ha. Ha. Ha. This sucks. I don’t want to be an absolutist here; some organizations, like IETF, totally forbid this kind of thing while others, like ISO, allow them in a kind of controlled way. But in this particular case, what they’re trying to do is deeply wrong and the OASIS management needs to find a way to stomp on it if they want to retain any credibility. For other commentary, start here. [Disclosure: I don’t understand WSDM and I don’t even understand the problem it’s trying to solve and while Sun was one of the “No” voters, it was strictly on the dependencies issue, and I don’t know whether we, corporately, are as irritated as I am individually and I don’t know whether we, corporately, actually care about this technology and if we do, whether we like it or not.]
