Lynch, Jason Michael (2005) An internet based SCADA system. [USQ Project] (Unpublished)
LYNCH_Jason_Michael-2005.pdf Download (1480Kb) |
The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has an integral role in modern industry. It provides a link to the electronic controllers used to control factory plant and processes, and is the visible portion of a factory's Human Machine Interface (HMI) system. It allows a factory operator to control the plant and provides feedback about the current state of the factory processes, including any alarms. The SCADA system also provides a way for important plant performance information to be obtained for use by managers and engineers at a corporate level. Timely access to this information is important in decision making. With large modern companies being so geographically diverse in the location of individual business units, the Internet has become an important communication channel to allow the exchange of data. This dissertation describes the design of an Internet based SCADA system that allows real-time factory data to be made available to the necessary personnel, regardless of where they may be on the globe. The system developed is based around an XML Web Service written in Visual Basic .NET. The Web Service accepts client requests and retrieves the desired information from the control database. This information is then returned to the client. XML was chosen because its simple text-based structure means that it is an easily parsed platform-independent data structure. The sample client program is a simple Windows Console application also written in Visual Basic .NET.

Book Description:Designed specifically for economics students, The Economic Approach to Law, 2nd Edition, provides an introductory treatment of law and economics, revealing how economic principles explain the structure of the law, and how they can help make the law more efficient. To that end, the author focuses on unifying themes in the field—rather than exhaustively covering legal topics—and thus provides a more analytical treatment of the subject.The second edition includes current research into the economics of common law areas, such as torts, contracts, and property law. The revised text also offers a new chapter that explores how economics can be applied to anti-trust law, as well as added material on intellectual property. This edition features an expanded suite of exercises and problems at the end of each chapter to encourage students to "do" law and economics.A companion web site offers a full suite of resources for students and professors. Key pedagogical features include cases; discussion points that provide additional analysis of topics in the book; graduate notes, which deepen the text for more advanced readers; and relevant Web links. Professors have access to sample syllabi for undergraduate and graduate courses and to an instructor's manual providing suggested answers to all of the end-of-chapter questions/problems in the book.

text: Florida is an adventure state in United States with so many cities. These cities provide a lot of adventure activities to all visitors but in this state there is a city which is a magic city with adventures. That�s city name is Miami which is situated in the south of Florida. Recently I visited this city for changing my life and after getting closing with this city I came to know that this city is also known by the name of magic city and it is the biggest major attraction in United States of Florida. I planned this trip in a very simple manner and I didn�t know anything about this trip because I went to this city towards from my office not for office work only for changing life. Because I played a very important role for completion of project and to meet with the deadline of project. For this project I worked very hard and at last I achieved this goal. After completion of work I feel much stressed and not feeling well. When I like to take some holidays then my boss ignore my query and said first search best Miami hotels which should be well furnished with all the facilities. After a lot of searching on net I meet up with so many sites but I choose only one site which was providing cheap hotels in miami with all the facilities and at discount offer also. After taking much information about this site I give it to my boss and keep same query again but they ignore. After seeing this site, my boss asked me if I go to this city then which hotel we should reserve. So by asking form them I suggest them to reserved Marriott Miami Airport hotel and by knowing my views my boss reserved it. At the time of holiday my boss called me and said from tomorrow �there is no need to come office from tomorrow� and by hearing I get shocked. At the same moment I asked to my boss �but why?� then they told me because you are going to Miami for five days on Monday. As I heard about my trip I feel very happy and that�s moment was the best moment of my life. I also give a great thanks to my boss for understanding my feelings. With this my boss gives me air ticket, receipt of hotel, some cash, and all other formalities related to travel. As I reached to my house I started to pack my luggage with a lot of excitement and on Monday I fly to Miami for five days by air.

I'm afraid I don't understand what most of this is about.
I am not sure if you did find any other posters who were using the "gold standard" argument? If not then we can at least lay that one to rest, as there would be little point in you arguing against a tack that no one else has taken.
I'm more than happy to tell you what I think about marriage. I think that marriage can be a wonderful framework for a couple's love for each other. I also think this is the case for civil partnerships and for non-formalised relationships. I think that the choice should be down to the couple involved.
P.S. Not to add to what is obvious to anyone who reads your posts and has a grounding in inter-displinary approaches to subjects such as philosophy, social theory, legal theory, law or pretty much any social science...
Normative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
" normative statements affirm how things should or ought to be, how to value them, which things are good or bad, and which actions are right or wrong."
I suggest having a read of the entry of 'normative' and its uses in different disciplines, dear. And seeing you are apparently clueless of what is meant by 'doctrinal', when you're finished with educating yourself about 'normative', I'd suggest having a little read of the meaning of 'doctrinal' - as opposed to say, a socio-legal approach - in the field of legal research
And seeing as I've previously referred to you as a positivist - to avoid your potential embarrassment in the future, I'd also suggest reading into the different definitions 'positivism' entails depending on the discipline concerned. I'd suggest contrasting 'positivism' through the lens of law with 'positivism' through the inter-disciplinary lens of human rights. And then perhaps read into positivism (and opposed to interpretivism) as broadly seen through the eyes of many social scientists?
Just trying to make sure you don't humiliate yourself by attempting to impose your limited knowledge claims on anyone else
If you blame everything on an imagined Marxist conspiracy, there's a 99% chance you are a complete idiot.
That doesn't make sense.
You have to fulfil the legal requirements before you get married.
Its called a Civil Marriage.
If you don't fulfil the legal requirements before you get married then you have a void or a voidable marriage.
Whether you get married in a Church or a Registry Office you are married.You have to fulfil the legal formalities before you get married. The signing of the Register comes after you are married.
Again that makes no sense.
Good lord I sincerely hope that was a joke...
May be it wasn't necessary for you, but for some it is and lets be honest who really cares what you think...
This debate certainly serves to highlight one thing - you should be banned from the internet...
The Catholic defintion of marriage of was /is, the union of one man with one woman, with in general the objective of the procreation of children....
The new definition of marriage will be The legal confirmation of the "relationship" of two people of any gender with the object of ?
What will be the new objective of marriage ?( if it is equality..if so equality to what ?)
You've been consistently offensive as you've carried on knowingly lying about what you claim I've said throughout this thread, using statistics you could not verify to opportunistically bolster your argument and then wrongly accused me of claiming the statistics were wrong. I've realised that your default setting is straw-men and lying.
I can't believe Im having to remind you that I have been putting forward the perspective that a prohibition on marriage of same sex couples amounts to segregation, considering youve spent a large portion of this thread desperately trying to demonstrate that such a perspective is incorrect (how intolerant!).
I have also put forward the position that institutionalising segregation by creating a separate institution that for all intents and purposes is guided by a philosophy of separate but equal - gays cannot access marriage and heterosexuals cannot access civil partnerships - is morally wrong.
You, however, have argued that as long as two groups have access to a comfortable seat on the bus, then there is no segregation, even if whites have to sit in one area and blacks have to sit in another. I explicitly mentioned that I would be against segregation in school based on race irrespective of whether both schools offered the same high quality education. Would you?
Are you able to start seeing a parallel with our discussion yet? Is there a reason why you steadfastly refuse to answer DavidDevant's water fountain example?
I say you have no philosophical problem with a water fountain for white people and a separate one for black people.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
If you blame everything on an imagined Marxist conspiracy, there's a 99% chance you are a complete idiot.

Geron's Last Chance [View article]
The MM is purely a guess based on the ET results.
I'm surprised no disclosure has been made as to when the mm results are coming, with 7 weeks left in the Q.
Maybe the MM results'll be great. Maybe terrible. No idea.
More importantly, based on the info I received from Anna pursuant to my Q re; Why imetelstat is now listed 2nd behind 1005 in their PR's, etc. She replied:
"GRN1005 can be regarded as the more advanced product candidate, currently.
Recall the Phase 2 studies of imetelstat in ET and myeloma are biomarker studies to evaluate the effect of the drug on neoplastic progenitors, and we currently don't intend to move forward in either of those two indications – rather, positive data would lead us to consider development in other heme malignancies, such as MF or MDS or AML, as we have described previously."
When I followed up, she replied it's unlikely the FDA would allow a phase III in another indication (MF, MDS or AML) on the heels of a successful phase II in a different indication such as ET.
Geron's history of shelving promising therapies (VAC II, OPC1, etc) leads me to believe they may do it again with imetelstat, using cash burn as an explanation for their refocus on 1005.
They may also explain it by saying they are coming off a successful phase II in a more common indication with 1005.
Yeah, I think you're right and they may shelve the 2nd slow enrolling 1005.
I think theyre viewing everything through the lens of conserving cash/choosing battles.
They cant pursue a 1005 Phase 3 in breast in December because the December results are only interim, presented in Poster form BTW. Top line arent expected until q2 2013.
Thanks for the article link.
Geron's Last Chance [View article]
A few updates here;
I spoke with Jonathan Woolf of British American Investment Trust recently.
I cant get into the substance of our conversation but I think it's fair to say he's a very frustrated shareholder.
I'm very concerned that Geron plans to "back burner" imetelstat despite the apparently great results in ET.
I'm surprised the patient pop. was so small in ET after all this time.
I don't expect any "strategic review" result before some/all trial results are revealed.
I don't expect any new/updated B/D coverage until after results. Too many analysts have been burned before by them.
I think the strategic review may say: "we are shelving everything else to focus on 1005. We expect top line results from 1005 by 6/13 and we may go to a phase III at that time."
Translation: Wait another 6 months
I expect they will probably prolong the response to the BTX offer until 2013.
Basically, I expect the company to come out next month and say:
"ET results were good but we have no plans for a phase III.
MM results were OK but we have no plans to pursue a phase III.
Essentially, we're shelving imetelstat in favor of 1005.
1005 prelims look pretty good and that's where we're going to focus our resources, BUT you're gonna hafta wait 6 months until we reveal the final results and we will go from there.
We're still reviewing the BTX offer as it's complex, etc."
I expect they will give out another round of bonuses which will be revealed after the bell on a Friday before a long weekend.
Basically, I've lost most of my faith in this company and curse the day I first heard "Geron".
P.S. My lawyers are conducting due diligence on what recourse we may have.
P.P.S. I sincerely hope I 'm wrong -

Anyone have any thoughts on what the plan is for imetelstat as it appears to be a home run in liquid tumors but they arent planning phase III's for ET or MM, so, where to next?
I agree w/u bio that 1005 may be good.
Re; "strategic review"
It seems they are gearing up for one phase III, in 1005 only.
I'm concerned they may let imetelstat languish.
Remember, they cannot go into a phase III in a new indication on the heels of a positive phase II in a different one, so what's the plan?
Anyone? -
Geron's Last Chance [View article]
My questions/concerns are;
When & where is MM data being presented?
What is the plan for phase III's with imetelstat now that phase II in ET seems great?
Anna recently wrote to me;
"Recall the Phase 2 studies of imetelstat in ET and myeloma are biomarker studies to evaluate the effect of the drug on neoplastic progenitors, and we currently don't intend to move forward in either of those two indications – rather, positive data would lead us to consider development in other heme malignancies, such as MF or MDS or AML, as we have described previously."
Point being; they cannot go directly to phase III in a DIFFERENT indication (such as MF, MDS or AML) on the heels of positive results from a phase II in another indication (such as ET). -

Re; Geron
The company announced almost two months ago they were discontinuing one of their imetelstat trials in solid tumors and doesn't expect the other to succeed.
This caused the shares to get cut in half.
The MRQ was announced on Tuesday and therefore has more current and accurate information re; cash burn, rev's, 1005 trials, etc.
I suggest you edit this.

"I will try and call Dr. Okarma and get a feel for what he plans to do with Geron's HESC platform. I will, point blank, ask him if he believes the offer can be increased."
What makes you think you can get him to reveal this information to you?
What's the upside for him to reveal to you their possible plans for a better offer?
If Okarma does take your call & reveals he "believes the offer can be increased", do you think that makes him a capable CEO or a complete fool? -

I disagree with this:
"His interest in a town hall meeting probably bodes well for the progress reports because when CEO's are in knowledge of primarily negative upcoming information, the last thing they would be interested in doing is talking one on one with stockholders."
I think the progress reports may be good but I disagree that is his reason for desiring a "town hall".
I take him at his word that he genuinely wants to interact with shareholders, period.
I also disagree with this:
"This brings me to the second subject. The question Scarlett asked Robert regarding why he didn't think the BAC deal was good leads me to believe that Scarlett does not have any great alternatives and would like to facilitate a generally positive shareholder response to finding a way the deal, or any deal, can be consummated. I think Scarlett is looking for a way out at this point. His focus is on cancer, not at all on stem cells. I think he simply wishes to get out as simply and quickly as possible without investor backlash."
Again, my sense is he also dislikes the BTX deal & my further sense is, the decision to exit stems was not primarily Scarlett's.
Purely my impression. -

Lev, once again, I completely disagree with you.
KC, I completely agree with you.
Geron's Last Chance [View article]
"In the interest of time & simplicity, perhaps the following format would work well:
Geron IR announces a Q&A call for investors.
As part of the announcement, IR asks that questions be submitted to IR in advance.
This accomplishes several things:
Condensing duplicate questions.
Distilling rambling questions to their essence.
Disregarding deliberately foolish questions/comments.
Provides you with the ability to thoughtfully consider your replies before responding, while remaining compliant.
Perhaps it would be useful to have Graham on the call as well."
So, I appreciate being "nominated" but I suspect you will all have an opportunity to submit/ask questions yourselves.
If so, I strongly urge you to keep them as clear & concise as possible.
I'm all for; "trying them out on each other here first" to whittle down good ones.
Will keep you updated on any progress.

Definition of Apollonian in English:
Syllabification: Ap·ol·lo·ni·anPronunciation: /ˌapəˈlōnēən
- 1 Greek Mythology Of or relating to the god Apollo.More example sentences
- In fact, when we make reference today to the basic body types in our sport, we use terms like Apollonian and Herculean, such is the great influence of early Greek society on athletic pursuits.
- 2Of or relating to the rational, ordered, and self-disciplined aspects of human nature: the struggle between cold Apollonian categorization and Dionysiac lust and chaos Compare with Dionysian.More example sentences
- But in the final analysis, we must surely concede that Stravinsky's serene Apollonian vision of order and harmony was unequal to the moral catastrophe of his century.
- If it is impossible to compass flux, truly to prescribe life a symbolic form, then notions of Apollonian order, of Dionysian excess, are no different; merely another illusory device.
- We have to go back in our lives constantly and these models that the Greeks provide, the ordered Apollonian and the brilliant chaotic aspect of the Dionysian are both extremely valuable concepts.

JACKSONVILLE ŌĆō Gus Bradley knows what he has read and heard about
He knows, too, what everyone else has read and heard, and he understands that people will form their own opinion about the second-year wide receiver and his off-field issues.
If we know anything about Bradley four months into his tenure as Jaguars head coach itŌĆÖs that heŌĆÖs not much into what others believe, and heŌĆÖs not much into worrying about what he canŌĆÖt control. So, itŌĆÖs not surprising that he has his own stance on Blackmon, and thatŌĆÖs this:
He trusts Blackmon.
ThatŌĆÖs right, he *trusts* him.
Bradley has spoken to Blackmon. He has listened to Blackmon. Perhaps most importantly, he has looked into the young, talented receiverŌĆÖs eyes, and he believes that his message is getting through.
ŌĆ£I talked to him about trust and things like that,ŌĆØ Bradley said Tuesday following the second of 10 scheduled 2013 organized team activities practices at the Florida Blue Health and Wellness Practice Fields just outside EverBank Field.
ŌĆ£It feels like it hits home with him. He responds the way IŌĆÖd hope he responds. I understand itŌĆÖs a process. IŌĆÖm not na├»ve to that. But I love the challenge.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs no commentary on what came before, but itŌĆÖs something different, and something that perhaps ŌĆō perhaps ŌĆō could be a difference for Blackmon.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs big-time,ŌĆØ Jaguars tight end
Lewis said such guidance could be key for a young player.
ŌĆ£With a guy with the ability of JustinŌĆÖs, if he can get the right people around him to help him stay focused and hone in on the task at hand, he can do some great things in this league,ŌĆØ Lewis said.
And that matters? That guidance from a coach?
ŌĆ£Definitely,ŌĆØ Lewis said. ŌĆ£JustinŌĆÖs still a young man. HeŌĆÖs trying to figure it out. Sometimes, you have to go through the back door. Everything is not always pretty. From the outside, people perceive like we should be perfect, but weŌĆÖre just like everybody else. Everybody makes mistakes.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs about having people there who will pick you up after you make those mistakes, and thatŌĆÖs the kind of environment we have here.ŌĆØ
Lewis didnŌĆÖt say that thinking it will change many minds. And Bradley doesnŌĆÖt necessarily think his confidence in Blackmon will change peopleŌĆÖs minds immediately. ThatŌĆÖs not what this is about, and BradleyŌĆÖs approach to Blackmon has nothing to do with BlackmonŌĆÖs image in the short-term. Blackmon himself on Monday said he knows he canŌĆÖt control that, and people are going to think what theyŌĆÖre going to think.
Bradley said he speaks with Blackmon in his office regularly. Not every morning, but a lot. ItŌĆÖs not a case, Bradley said, of the coach calling a player down the hall.
ŌĆ£He sticks his head in, knocks on the door and says, ŌĆÖGus, can I visit with you?ŌĆÖŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£He sits down and we visit.ŌĆØ
Bradley on said those conversations arenŌĆÖt just football. TheyŌĆÖre everything, including Blackmon taking ownership of his situation, and the importance of that.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm trying to get him to own it, so it becomes powerful within him,ŌĆØ Bradley said.
Bradley spoke for several minutes about Blackmon Tuesday, and said a lot after the cameras had left the post-practice gathering. Late in his thoughts on Blackmon, he said something that at first seemed a tangent then in the end seemed not a tangent at all.
ŌĆ£We grew up differently,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£Where I grew up, you trust people right from the start, because theyŌĆÖve never done anything wrong to you. Not everybodyŌĆÖs like that. Some people say, ŌĆśI donŌĆÖt trust you or you or you, and itŌĆÖs going to take six months to earn my trust.ŌĆÖ We come from different worlds.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not going to change who I am. HeŌĆÖs never done anything wrong to me.ŌĆØ
*HeŌĆÖs never done anything wrong to me.*
That, more than anything, is why Bradley trusts Blackmon? Because for now, for whatever others have heard and read, he has no reason not to.
On that fundamental fact is being built a relationship that, without question, is important to the team. In the end, could prove even more important to the player.

Rihanna Cant Sell Out A Tour With Her Talent So She Shows Her Goods Instead (Pictorial)

Rihanna has had many canceled tour dates due to poor ticket sales. Even with all the buzz of how raunchy her new show is she still had to reduce tickets to $ 10 dollars for some shows. What is her plan B?? To change up her outfit and this time basically show her cakes Lady GaGa Style. I dont mind seeing cakes but I wouldn't pay to go to her show to see them when I can see them on iHipHop for free. Peep her newest addition to her tour wardrobe.

Devils lose game, Zubrus to leg injury
NASHVILLE – The Devils can shrug off losing in a shootout.
Losing another key player to injury is another thing, though.
Dainius Zubrus' right leg injury was the greater concern following the Devils' 3-2 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night at Sommet Center.
Zubrus did not accompany the team on its flight to Dallas after the game and will instead head back to New Jersey for further examination by team doctors.
"The doctor said we'll look at it [today]," he said. "I'll know more [today]. Everybody will know more [today] what's going on."
Zubrus admitted he was concerned.
"A little bit," he said. "I couldn't go back, so, yeah, I'm concerned."
Zubrus was injured when he blocked the shot of Predators defenseman Kevin Klein 1:04 into the second period.
The force of the shot was so great that it cracked Zubrus' shin guard. The sound of the puck hitting his shin guard could be heard up in the press box.
"It felt like it was a hard shot," he said.

Belle propriété

Très belle propriété. Les gens sont agréable et serviable. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour.

June 25, 2013
We had a fantastic time in Siesta Key. The condo had everything we needed to make our stay extremely enjoyable. . The kids really enjoyed all the beach equipment that you provide. It's a very short relaxing walk to the beach. The pool was very clean and the grounds well kept. We did have a few minor issues but they were dealt with promptly and to our satisfaction.

Wonderful Stay
June 3, 2013
We had a wonderful time at this condo. I highly recommend it. The condo was clean and well stocked with kitchen equipment and other basic nessessities. Beach was just across the street. If you have never been to this area the sand is the best in the world. We have been to a lot of beaches and this sand never gets hot and is like baby powder. It is one of our favorite places to visit. We will book again!

Spring Break

We had an excellent experience. The condo was as pictured and advertised -- spacious, clean, amenities, and great beach access. Used all of the facilities except for the workout room. Not that far from the village for good food and shopping nor Sarasota for attractions -- Mote Aquarium and Armande for eating and shopping. Only a 1-1/2 hour drive from Tampa Airport. Took scenic drive across Skyway bridge coming down to the condo. Staff very helpful with tips for shopping and Johnny's Taxi to village. Outside facility maintained daily, beach very clean, and great security service. Other tenants very considerate and friendly. Thank you for making such a wonderful trip possible.

Apartment 416
February 18, 2013
The apartment was in a great location, directly across from the public beach entrance. The complex is older (90's) but very clean and the pool is heated nicely. The unit itself was clean and functional. The bed in the master bedroom was very high off the ground (almost 5 feet) which may pose difficulties for some people. The kitchen had almost everything we needed except a few cookie sheet/flat baking pans. The bathroom is small but perfectly functional. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a view of the pool and beach beyond that. The road noise wasn't really noticable. The apartment came equipped with pool noodles, a colder, beach chairs and lots of towels. A great vacation!

September 10, 2009
We truly enjoyed the apartment. It was very spacious, beautifully decorated, and the service from the office was great. We would stay there again.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Very Nice
June 30, 2009
The condo was very nice, with everything we needed. Beach toys, floaties, and even a beach tent (need to set up yourself) were provided for use. It was a very good location, about 100 yards to the beach. Also had a nice pool, which most of the time we had to ourselves. It's located close to Siesta Key Village.I would recommend this location to anyone and we will definitely keep it in mind next time we go back.

The Quidditch World Cup Stadium
"Every time Muggles have got anywhere near here all year,
they've suddenly remembered urgent appointments and had
to dash away...bless them."
The Ministry of Magic spent a year magically constructing a huge stadium for the Quidditch World Cup in August, 1994 [Y14].
There is some inconsistency in dates with the World Cup. In GF8, Ludo Bagman welcomes everyone to the "four hundred and twenty second Quidditch World Cup". However, Quidditch through the Ages sets forth the history of the World Cup competition. It says that the Cup was first held in 1473, and held every 4 years since. That means that the Cup had been held around 130 times by 1994 [Y14]. Not even close to 422. Also, if the Cup has been held every four years from 1473, then 1993 [Y13] and 1997 [Y17] would have been Cup-years, not 1994, which is a problem with the timeline, as it currently exists. |

Update on December 4, 2013: Want to watch the videos?
CreepyDOL (Creepy Distributed Object Locator) is the name of the sensor networking project I've been working on since January, with the initial thoughts coming from a post-DEF CON 20 musing on the airplane. I presented it at Black Hat USA and DEF CON 21. I could summarize, but frankly Ars Technica did a really good job of hitting the high notes with their summary, and Forbes did one of the best early pieces. The project also got coverage on Gizmodo, Gizmag, Dark Reading, The New York Times, CNN, and so on. I even got on Bloomberg TV. All in all, a pretty wide reach for a security talk.
I cited some prior good work having to do with large-scale data collection and academic sensor network research in my slides, but I missed a really neat presentation from 44Con in 2012, where a project called Snoopy did some very related work. Both Snoopy and CreepyDOL start from the problem of "beacon frames are leaking too much data," but then they take it a fascinating direction: rather than doing the very simple work through the NOM Filters that I describe in my talks, they do some really deep analytics, and sometimes go into a fully active wireless attack mode, complete with deauth, MitM, SSLStrip, etc. Their sensor system is quite different, too—more-powerful endpoints, connected in a star topology, compared to my distributed network (using Reticle) of really simple endpoints—and I encourage everyone to go check out their work. I hate (and not just due to my academic background) to miss citing to prior work, so I'm sorry I didn't know about the project in time to put it in my slides. My apologies to the authors, and seriously—go check out their work. It's great.
(As a side note, "I looked and I couldn't find anything, then way later discovered someone else had solved some of the same problems I did" is pretty much the exact reason I started Hark, a project to create a hacker archive that gives us the discoverability of academic work, while making sure to encourage more than just formal papers. I'd really love to be able to get it running, but we need your help: check out the Kickstarter to learn more, and support the effort!)
Since a huge number of people have asked: I will be selling completed F-BOMBs (the hardware I use for CreepyDOL, now in version 2) in a few weeks, for those who would like to purchase them. They're a great base platform for a lot of different areas of work: they're more powerful than usual sensors, while also being much cheaper. (Of course, many sensor motes are ultra-low-power, which these are not; everything is a tradeoff.) If you'd like to get announcements when preorders for the F-BOMB are being taken, as well as a few other milestone announcements from CreepyDOL, sign up for the CreepyDOL Announce List.
In addition, I will be releasing everything related to CreepyDOL—source code, some binaries, disk images, VMs, parts lists, sketches—all at once, as soon as I can; I'm aiming for the end of August, but that date may slip. (There's some code cleanup that I need to do; while some projects enjoy having large amounts of profanity in the code base, I'm going to work on removing mine. :-) ) Rest assured, that code is coming.

Thank you to all the people I've ceaselessly annoyed and/or ignored for the last several months while getting this all ready (especially Kathryn Sweet), to the Black Hat and DEF CON CFP committees, and to everyone who showed up to my talks at either conference. And, not least, to the kind and gentle Goons, who insisted that I take the ritual shot of Jack Daniels before I began my DEF CON talk.
Below, my slides from Black Hat, my slides from DEF CON, and the YouTube copy of the video demo I showed at each (there's no sound).
A whole bunch of insanely famous security researchers, plus myself, wrote an amicus brief for Weev. Go read it at https://github.com/ussjoin/weevamicus/releases.
Update, July 29, 2013: Two good articles on the amicus brief and the effect that Weev's conviction has as we approach the DEF CON and Black Hat USA season: Security researchers file appeal for Weev following AT&T/iPad "hack" and Fear of prosecution hampers security research, the latter of which focuses particularly on the damaging effects to all consumers from harassing independent security researchers.
I'm a hacker; I'm also a law student. I've spent some time trying to convince those in column A that they need to also spend some time in column B; we need more people who can do both. I haven't been able to spend a huge amount of time doing both at once—but that changed over the last few months.
Back at ShmooCon 2013, Meredith Patterson, Dan Hirsch, Sergey Bratus, and I were discussing Weev—for those of you who haven't followed, he got sent to prison for 41 months for adding 1. This is one of those really, really bad ideas: the interpretation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act that the government used to convict him was that even public information, publicly served, could be restricted if someone said so, after the fact. A lot of security researchers have publicly destroyed their work, representing months or years of their time, rather than try to do their work after this conviction. It's terrifying, and for good reason: if Weev, then all of us, too.
We formed a group to write what's called an amicus brief. Amicus is short for amicus curiae, or friend of the court; the plural is amici curiae. An amicus brief, then, is a kind of letter to the court, asking them to take into account the perspective of some group that isn't party to the litigation—which in the case of a criminal case, means someone who isn't the defendant or the government. In this case, the perspective is that of the independent security researchers who are affected, and the court in question is the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, since that's where Weev's appeal is sitting now.
I was chosen to do the primary drafting on the brief, since I'm a law student and was willing. A friend of mine, Alex Muentz, who's a Real Lawyer who practices in Pennsylvania, was willing to sign the brief and submit it to the Third Circuit (because he's awesome). A whole lot of work later, I had an initial draft, which the amici tore apart; over the next two months, then, we built something pretty good. It was a heck of a team effort: every single member of the group contributed at least a thought to the brief that we didn't have before, and several contributed a lot of great material and ideas. All the work was done for free, even by the Real Lawyers (of which there are two, Alex and Peyton, in the amicus group).
In the end, we were fortunate enough to receive consent to file from both parties—both Tor Ekeland, who's Weev's attorney, and the US Attorney assigned to the appeal. This was great; courts usually let amici file, but not always, so it removed one last speedbump.
So who are these mysterious amici? It's a pretty epic list: we kick the Magnificent Seven's butts.
To make sure the court knew how cool these people were, we made an Appendix. Ordinarily, the appendix on these sorts of briefs is reserved for documents from the record, affidavits, etc. Instead, we attached the CVs of everyone in the group—a staggering 61 pages worth, in the end.
Well, the brief's done (it will be submitted on July 8, 2013); we can hope the court reads it. The attorney on behalf of the United States will be able to write his brief, after which Weev's attorneys will have one more shot. The amici will be done, however; we don't write response briefs (unless the court specifically asks us; in general, if a Court of Appeals says to write more, you do that).
So now we wait, and hope. If you'd like to donate to Weev's ongoing legal battles, you can do so at the CFAA Defense Fund, which is set up by Weev's attorneys. We did our work pro bono so they don't have to.
Thanks, of course, to all of the amici—especially those who signed on at the beginning, when the draft was nonexistent or terrible. Thanks also to all those who proofread the drafts, often over and over—including my parents (both Real Lawyers), my brother (also a Real Lawyer, who graduated in May), and my girlfriend, Kathryn Sweet, who in addition to reading several drafts of the brief and fixing my grammar, also had to deal with me while I wrote it—for about three months.
If you'd like to talk to me about this, leave a comment below, or email me: blog -at- ussjoin -dot- com.
I want to draw out my earlier concept a bit: if Weev, then everyone. Why? After all, Weev is a notorious troll. He's ranted at some length about his dislike for Aaron Swartz, and in general, people dislike him. What could be wrong with letting him rot in prison, and waiting for someone we like more to be thrown in prison next? We'll get the next one.
We can't do that: mighty Casey will strike out, immediately; he got three strikes, but we only get one. In the United States, we have a system of precedent: higher courts rule, and their rulings control lower courts. Higher courts can overrule themselves, and sometimes do; for instance, in 2003, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned its previous decision in Bowers v. Hardwick that gays were evil. (I am paraphrasing.) Obviously, more recently, they've taken larger steps for the GLBT community. So that happens.
But it doesn't happen much; it takes a long time for a court to recognize that it did the wrong thing. So in the interim, people live their entire lifetimes under the wrong rule of law—whether that's in slavery, whether that's working until people die from exhaustion, or any other area in which they might not be doing too well. And that assumes the right rule of law ever comes out: in Buck v. Bell, the Supreme Court allowed the forced sterilization of "mental defectives," and they've never overturned that. (There are a few specific reasons that Buck still stands today, actually—but it's true that it's generally considered a constitutional right to have children, these days. If you're curious why they haven't overturned Buck, ping me.)
So what does this have to do with Weev? Well, it's like this: Weev has appealed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which has precedential weight: what they say becomes the law, until they change their minds (or the Supreme Court changes them for them). We can't afford, as a community, to spend twenty, thirty, fifty, or a hundred years in a situation where corporations can retroactively punish users of the web for looking at their publicly-offered websites. Not only will that immediately destroy the security research community, but it will, ultimately, destroy the Internet as it stands. (Imagine you dislike someone. If they read your blog, even once, you can later call the FBI and state that they accessed your website without permission, and push for a felony conviction. Sound far-fetched? That's essentially what the EFF concluded, too. It's terrifying, and the EFF was talking about Terms of Service violations—and in Weev's case, there wasn't even a TOS at issue.)
The moment to stand and fight this is, therefore, now; "They claimed it was for the sake of their grandparents and grandchildren, but it was of course for the sake of their grandparent's grandchildren, and their grandchildren's grandparents." (Young Zaphod Plays it Safe, by Douglas Adams.) And don't think that living outside the Third Circuit (Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) makes you safe: Weev was actually in Arkansas when he allegedly committed his "crimes." Since Internet traffic goes everywhere, there's always a way to make venue lie in a particular area.
As I said back in April: Miranda was a rapist, Washington was a murderer, and Gideon was a thief. We don't have to like someone to agree that they need their rights protected—because if we don't defend them, we will all lose our rights. That's the way criminal law works. So we defend Weev, because in doing so, we defend us all. Not a bad idea.
Some rights reserved, but not all of them, as that's rude. Design courtesy of, well, me.

reviews & comments (51)
Amazing! My husband & I loved this. But I definitely heeded the warnings of other reviewers to watch the pie carefully for burning, and did put a homemade foil pie shield around the edges once the crust looked as dark as I wanted it. I highly recommend this!
I'm not normally a baker but was excited to try this recipe after hearing so much about Crack Pie. To me it was super sweet and lacked the balance of salty sweet that I love. That said, I'll have to try the original next time I'm in NYC. Is it me or am I just a bad baker?
I've made this pie several times, and received nothing but raves every time! I believe that the key is to watch it while it's cooking, and not blindly trust the time/temp of the recipe. I've pulled it out of the oven 20 minutes early if I felt that it was getting too dark, and it still came out perfect. As long as the filling slightly shakes a little bit in the middle, it's done. Sometimes, the crust gets a little dark and it doesn't look that great in the pie pan, but I find that a generous sifting of powdered sugar covers that up very well. I will defintely continue to make this again and again.
Made this for a dinner party and it looked awful in the pie plate but tasted sublime. The crust darkened during baking but I covered it halfway through with a piecrust shield and it was fine. Though it was dark, the crust was not burned. This pie definitely had a nice salty/sweet combination that was universally loved. Definitely will make it again.
I was happy to try this because I had heard so much about it but it must be something better baked in the bakery oven! Filling seemed curdled and not smooth like other reviewers. And crust was burnt tasting.
I've made this pie twice; the first time is was perfect, the second time disgusting. In the first one the filling was very smooth like a custard with about the consistency of a creme brulee or a thick dulce de leche. The second time it seemed like the filling curdled. It was lumpy and greasy and the crust stuck to the pan. Pretty much inedible. For the first pie I was in a hurry so I didn't let the butter cool after melting it and I mixed the cream, eggs and vanilla together before adding them to the sugar-butter mixture. The second time I followed the recipe procedure exactly. I don't know if that made the difference, but if this pie had turned out the first time the way it did the second, I'd be giving it 1 fork instead of 3 right now. The only change I made was to double the salt in the oat cookie crust to amp up the sweet salty factor other reviews mentioned it was lacking. I plan on trying this one more time to see if I can identify the problem.
I have made this 2x now with less than stellar results. It's okay. My pies were much darker. And I agree with others, crust almost seems burnt. I also don't taste the salty sweet, just sweet. Not that impressive overall.
I loved it and so did my guests. I found a lot of truth in the other reviewers comments. It is loaded with butter, sugar, and cream so its not really a "Diet" pie, but lets be honest pie has never really been a diet food. I watched my baking carefully to make sure it didn't burn. And it turned out perfectly. This is in the David Chang style of cooking where you try to activate as many sensations in the mouth at one time as you possibly can. So its sweet, salty, gooey, and crunchy, all in one bite. Several of my guests likened it to a pecan pie without the pecans. I'll add another analogy. For me it was similar to a very dense blondie that still had a slightly gooey center. However you describe it, it is definitely saved to my recipe box, and I am very much looking forward to serving it again.
Mine turned out great! And everyone wanted the recipe. I did not find it anything like pecan pie. When I noticed the crust was getting a bit too dark, I used a pie crust ring to shield it. Watch the color on the first baking, and as a previous reviewer said, there's a reason that people pay $44 for a pie.

Check out the original post and you will see a number of thoughtful responses. Whatever side they took, these readers tried to deal with the issues at hand.
But not everyone got the point. Below are two responses I did not post -- but which I include here to demonstrate how difficult it is to keep a conversation from running off the tracks. One is pro-Obama, the other is anti-Obama, but of course the topic at hand was online forums.
* It's too bad that some in the antiObama camp just can't come to grips with reality. Hello! The election is over. Obama was elected president. Do you really think that his birth status as a presdential candidate is in any way suspect? Much, much smarter folks than you would have discovered such an irregularity long ago if it existed. Whining often gets you noticed, but it requires a substantive, real issue to get respect for your actions. This issue has no feet; it's not real. So what ARE your real aims?
* The guy i[s] an imposter, a fraud, a usurper and needs to be removed from office ASAP. His affronts on the Constitution and Bill of rights pose the greastest threats to the surv[i]val of this Republic in history!! Use the piece of paper the Dems have posted on-line the same as you would a piece of toilet paper; that[']s about how useful it is.

Putting your thoughtful readers in control of what they see will police the blog naturally. This is what the Washington Post does
I believe that in order to be effective, forums either have to be moderated to prevent off-subject responses as in your examples or must have some sophisticated filtering that posts those that seem okay and put those such as above into a queue to be examined before posting. Such software exists ( see http://www.askjaysec.com ) as an example of identifying the "concept" that is being discussed instead of the key words. (also see www.areteq.com). Others may exist, I'm just familiar with those. It's not censoring that I am suggesting, just staying on topic and perhaps without personal attacks.

A Lone Traveller
Category: Outdoor Scenes
Photo and caption by Raghavendra KS
Outdoor Scenes : Travel is always about re-discovering ourselves. While I was traveling across Moore Plains in LEH, I came across another Lone traveler who was gazing through the grasslands in oblivion. A lonely horse against the backdrop of mighty Himalayas gave sense of simplicity instantly and a humbling experience of how tiny we are all in front of Nature.
