Lexi is fairly shy but is getting better each day. She will play some with her foster friends but prefers to be with her human or in a little bed kind of off by herself. She is still learning that it is ok to get up in your lap to snuggle some and following you around is ok also. Lexi is housebroken and will use a potty pad when she can't get outside. She likes to sunbathe some and is learning that toys are kind of fun too. Lexi needs her forever home to be patient, loving and kind of laid back. If you have those qualities, Lexi would learn to be your best friend and the love of your life. Lexi's adoption fee is $275.00.

OpenCVS is a FREE implementation of the Concurrent Versions System, the most popular open source revision control software. It can be used as both client and server for repositories and provides granular access control over data stored in the repository. It aims to be as compatible as possible with other CVS implementations, except when particular features reduce the overall security of the system.
The OpenCVS project was started after discussions regarding the latest GNU CVS vulnerabilities that came out. Although CVS is widely used, its development has been mostly stagnant in the last years and many security issues have popped up, both in the implementation and in the mechanisms.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application No. 60/044,073, filed on Apr. 17, 1997, which provisional application is incorporated by reference herein.
The invention relates to the acquisition of encoded information from the contents of sealed envelopes or other layered structures that conceal the information from view.
Much of bulk return mail is processed with at least some manual handling, especially when it contains orders. Once cut open, the envelopes are generally emptied by hand; and information from their contents is keyboarded, optically scanned, or otherwise entered into a computer. The required steps of opening the envelopes, separating their contents, and entering relevant data are expensive and time consuming. Also, data entry is subject to error, especially when information from the separated envelopes must be linked to information from their contents.
Outgoing mail, which may be passed through inserters, is also subject to sorting and other processing errors that are difficult to detect; because once sealed, the contents are concealed from view. Various attempts have been made to "see through" the envelopes to read their contents without opening them, but problems plague each.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,522,921 to Custer proposes use of x-rays for reading envelope contents that are printed with special x-ray opaque materials. The x-rays are intended to penetrate the envelopes and their contents except where blocked by the special materials. A resulting shadow pattern is detected by an x-ray reading device. However, the special materials add expense and limit printing options, and the x-rays pose health risks that are difficult to justify for these purposes.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,994 to Berson uses infrared light in a similar manner to read the contents of sealed envelopes. A light source directs a beam of the infrared light through the envelopes to an optical detector that records a shadow pattern caused by different absorption characteristics between conventional inks and the paper on which they are printed. However, such filled envelopes make poor optical elements for transmitting images, even for transmissions in the infrared spectrum. Paper does not transmit the infrared images very efficiently. Irregularities in the surfaces, spacing, layering, and materials of the envelopes and their contents cause significant aberrations that can greatly diminish resolution of the images. Also, overlays of printed material on the envelopes and their contents are difficult to separate, and printed backgrounds can reduce contrast.
Except for differences in wavelength, these prior art attempts are analogous to shining a flashlight through one side of an envelope in the hope of reading darker printed matter through the envelope's opposite side. X-rays penetrate paper very easily but are dangerous and require special materials to stop them. Near infrared wavelengths transmit poorly through paper, and their images are subject to aberration from optical inconsistencies and to obscuration from printed overlays or backgrounds.
U.S. patent application 08/778,077, filed Jan. 2, 1997, by two of the present co-inventors Verschuur and Mitchell, uses microwave heating of conductive or dielectric patterns and subsequent infrared detection of the thermal image conducted to the surface of the envelope to determine the information content inside a sealed envelope.
The two present co-inventors along with a third co-inventor have developed another approach to reading through envelopes—the subject of this application, which is independent of any wavelength of radiation, either for seeing through or detecting emission from the surface of an envelope. Instead, a transducer measures changes in capacitance of a localized region beneath the surface of the envelope, such as can be produced by conductive inks or inks with a dielectric constant different from the paper upon which it is printed. This technique shares common elements with other inventions, particularly those for authenticating lottery tickets, documents, and currency, yet is substantially different in both function and purpose.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,621,200 to Irwin, Jr. et al. discloses an electronic validation system for scratch-off lottery tickets. A conductive ink containing a pattern of resistors is printed as a portion of the scratch-off material or underlying play indicia. Capacitors are used to couple the printed resistor circuits to an electronic verification machine to verify electronic signature patterns of the resistor circuits. The electronic signatures are comparable to predetermined standards, but they do not contain information encoded in conventional formats that can be read as alphanumeric characters. Also, each ticket must be tested one at a time at a predetermined position within the verification machine.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,519,802 to Cinque et al. discloses an early attempt at authenticating credit cards with internally encoded data. Conductive plates are arranged in a pattern; and their presence, absence, or proximate orientation is detected by a capacitance sensor. However, the detection system requires the conductive plates to be bent into two offset planes that complicate manufacture and are not readily applicable to thinner substrates such as sheet materials normally enclosed by envelopes.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,591,189 to Holmen et al. discloses a more recent example of a credit card verification system in which a light transmitting authenticating layer is sandwiched between two anti-reflective film layers. The authenticating layer is preferably vacuum deposited, such as by sputtering, but can also be formed by a printed layer of conductive ink. The impedance, conductance, or capacitance of the authenticating layer can be detected, though capacitance is not recommended for detecting discrete areas of the authenticating layer. Beyond authentication, the conductive layer does not contain any useful information.
Our invention takes a different approach to accessing information from the contents of sealed envelopes or other layered structures by making use of localized capacitance changes introduced onto a substrate, such as a paper insert inside an envelope, by conductive or dielectric ink used to print encoded information such as a bar-code. The information obtained by the capacitance measurements can be meaningfully interpreted and used to affect further processing of the envelopes or other layered structures.
The encoded information concealed behind a cover, such as an envelope, can be printed on a substrate in a pattern using an electrically conductive ink. The substrate and cover are moved past a capacitance sensor at a rate that permits successive portions of the pattern to be measured at points of approximately equal proximity to the capacitance sensor. Variations in capacitance associated with the pattern of the conductive ink are detected as a function of the relative position of the capacitance sensor along the covered substrate and are compared to stored information about similar patterns for reading the encoded information.
The invention is particularly useful for processing a succession of envelopes having processing information encoded in their contents. The processing information is recorded in patterns of contrasting permittivity. The envelopes are transported together with their encoded contents past a capacitance sensor. Measured variations in the capacitance associated with the patterns of contrasting permittivity are deciphered into recognized units of information. Subsequent processing among envelopes is distinguished on the basis of the processing information obtained from their contents.
For example, the processing information can be arranged to identify intended addressees of the envelopes. The actual addressees can be read by standard optical means from the exterior of the envelopes and compared to the address information obtained from their contents to verify if they match. The further processing of the envelopes is discontinued upon detection of a mismatch. Alternatively, the address information obtained from the envelopes' contents can be used to print corresponding address information on the exterior of the envelopes. Orders for further processing can also be read from the envelopes' contents.
A system for carrying out the invention can include a transporter that conveys a succession of covered substrates imprinted with conductive ink in patterns representing encoded information visibly obscured by a cover. A capacitance measuring device through which the succession of covered substrates are transported is sensitive to variations in capacitance associated with the patterns of the conductive ink as a function of the transported positions of the covered substrates through the capacitance measuring device. A processor matches the measured variations in capacitance to stored information about similar patterns for reading the encoded information, and a sorter distinguishes subsequent processing of the covered substrates based on the encoded information imprinted on the substrates and obscured by the cover.
The capacitance variations are preferably sensed by a transducer comprising (a) parallel plates of a capacitor placed side-by-side on one side of the covered substrates, (b) one pair of such side-by-side plates on each side of the covered substrates, (c) a pair of such plates on one side of the covered substrates and a ground plane on the other side of the covered substrates, or (d) a pair of plates aligned end-to-end on one side of the covered substrates. An output signal is detected by means of a circuit that converts what amounts to an impedance change into a voltage change which can then be used to drive an A/D converter with its output fed to a computer where the signal can be processed to retrieve information and control other processes.
Well-known pattern recognition programs can be used to interpret the detected signals for controlling subsequent operations. For example, orders and customer-identifying codes from return mail can be read for processing orders. Inside addresses or other contents of outgoing mail can be verified or used as a basis for printing information including address information on the outside of the envelopes.

In FIG. 1, an envelope 10 containing an insert (substrate) 11 on which encoded information is printed, in this example in the form of a bar-code 12, passes between a set of parallel plate capacitors (also referred to as a transducer) 13 which are connected to an amplifier 14 whose output is then examined by a computer 47. The bar-code 12 is printed using either a conductive ink or a dielectric ink. When either passes between the plates 13 of the transducer, the capacitance changes.
In a practical embodiment of the invention, the envelope is passed between two parallel sets of plates as shown in FIG. 2. When no envelope is present between plates 20-21 and 22-23 of the transducer 13, the capacitance is C0 and this is made part of a resonant circuit built into the amplifier 14, whose frequency is established by a suitable choice of inductance L. When an envelope 10 passes the probe (transducer 13), the capacitance changes to C1. A further change to C2 is sensed when the conductive or dielectric ink, with a permittivity other than that of the insert 11 within the envelope 10, passes between the plates 20-21 and 22-23.
The inserts 11 on which encoded information is printed are preferably paper, which is a dielectric. However, other nonconducting materials including resin films or fabric materials can also be used as substrates for supporting conductive substances or substances with different permittivities. The conductive ink used for printing the bar-code 12 can be visible for conveying additional optically readable information on the inserts 11 or can be invisible for performing other functions such as those relating to tracking, accounting, or security. The bar-code 12 can also be hidden between layers of the inserts 11 for similar purposes. An example of a conductive ink appropriate for these purposes is used in a Hewlett-Packard desk jet printer, model number 870CSE.
In the block diagram of FIG. 3, an oscillator circuit 32 is used to generate a fixed frequency based on a Colpitts-crystal modified circuit. A frequency monitor 31 allows the operation of the instrument to be monitored for test purposes while also improving the frequency stability.
The output of the oscillator 32 is fed through a buffer amplifier 33, which is also part of the oscillator circuit 32. The buffer amplifier 33 is a voltage source which together with an impedance 34 acts as a constant AC current generator to supply a high-Q resonator crystal 35 in turn connected to a floating ground 36. The crystal 35 is specified to operate at a frequency f2 only slightly different from f1 at which the oscillator 32 functions.
The transducer 13 in parallel with the crystal 35 modifies the impedance seen by the current generator (consisting of the buffer amplifier 33 in combination with the impedance 34), thus generating a variable voltage which reflects the capacitance sensed by the transducer 13.
This modulated, high-frequency signal at f1 is amplified by a buffer amplifier 38, which is also used to separate the high-Q resonator crystal 35 from the low impedance side of a detection-rectifying circuit 39. This circuit 39 will demodulate the signals introduced by the buffer amplifier 38 as a result of impedance changes at the transducer 13 produced by the passage of the information printed on inserts inside sealed envelopes. The rectifying circuit 39 uses a thermal compensation technique for stability.
The output of the rectifying circuit 39, which is current amplified, is fed to a level shifting amplifier 40, which together with a feedback integrator 41 produces a signal that is forced to a level close to that of the floating ground 36 and cancels the undesirable "common mode" that would otherwise affect the final amplification in a voltage amplifier 42.
The feedback integrator 41 acts as a high-pass filter that allows rapidly varying signals, introduced at the transducer 13 by the passage of the encoded information inside the envelope 10, to be amplified by amplifiers 40 and 42 to the level required by an A/D converter 43. More slowly varying signals, such as are produced by temperature changes or localized permittivity variations along the length of the rapidly passing envelopes 10 due to structure in the envelope or insert material, are canceled by the action of the feedback integrator 41.
Further undesirable signals that may pass through what is essentially a high-pass filter (integrator 41) can be discriminated against by initially adjusting a threshold level of the amplifier 42 using a voltage source 44.
A second input to the A/D converter 43 is produced by an amplitude-duration converter 45, which offers a pulse train representation of the signals introduced at the transducer 13. These signals will have an amplitude that is a function of the width of the lines of the bar-code 12, for example. The lines of the bar-code 12 have a variety of widths; and the change in impedance sensed by the transducer 13 depends on this width, which is equivalent to changing the plate area of the effective capacitor created by the conductive or dielectric lines of the bar-code 12 as they pass by the transducer 13.
A LED bipolar display 46 is used in conjunction with the threshold level adjustment control of voltage source 44 to set initial conditions for the amplifier 42. The display 46 indicates a range of voltages from negative to positive values with respect to a zero-centered reference representing the floating ground 36.
The output of the A/D converter 43 is sent to a computer 47, which allows the signals produced at the transducer 13 to be decoded. This information from the computer 47 can also be used to control the speed at which envelopes are sent past the transducer 13, and the same information can be used to drive a feedback loop to drive the voltage source 44 to remove undesirable signals such as can be produced by accumulated static charges.
In FIG. 4, a circuit 50 acts as a buffer to the frequency monitor 31, which also forms part of the oscillator circuit 32 with a capacitance 60 introduced into the emitter of a main oscillator transistor 61. High stability (10−7) in frequency is obtained in the oscillator circuit 32 by using a crystal 62 (f31=4.93152 MHz) in combination with a phase shifter 63. The combined effect of capacitance 60 and those of the base-collector of the transistor 61 and an element 64 will increase the capacitance of an element 65 by an amount sufficient to sustain an oscillation. In this way, buffer amplifier 33 acts as a buffer and amplifier for an unusual output tapped across element 65 of the oscillator circuit 32.
The high-speed buffer amplifier 33 will act as an emitter-follower generating a powerful signal to the series configuration of the impedance 34 and the crystal 35, which has an intrinsic resonant frequency f2=5.0000 MHz.
No adjusting device is needed inside the oscillator circuit 32 because of the use of two buffers (50 and 64) with their own capacitive effect. This adds not only simplicity but also considerable size reduction over previous techniques, which generally incorporate numerous trimmers and screens.
The combination of the impedance 34 and the crystal 35 will act as a voltage divider. The impedance 34 is constant while that presented by the crystal 35 varies in response to the modifying capacitance sensed by the transducer 13 as the desired signal.
In the absence of a trace at the transducer carrying encoded information, only the paper permittivity will affect the transducer capacitance. This creates the highest impedance seen across the crystal 35, that is, the highest level of voltage produced across the crystal 35 based on the divider effect. Any additional capacitance (for example, when a conductive or a dielectric trace is present between the electrodes; see FIG. 2) will decrease the impedance presented by the resonant circuit formed by crystal 35 in parallel with the transducer 13. It is well known in the art that increasing capacitance will decrease the resonant frequency of a parallel resonant configuration. Note that the buffer amplifier 33 is injecting a constant amplitude and frequency signal (f31) into the divider, which is therefore forced to resonate at this frequency (f31). The highest impedance presented by the crystal 35 occurs at f2, a frequency that is never found in our circuit because of the existence of the parallel capacitance introduced by the transducer 13. This means that the crystal 35 will never exhibit its maximum impedance value. To the contrary, any additional capacitance in the transducer side will decrease the resonant frequency even further and thus reduce the equivalent impedance presented by the crystal 35 as part of the divider circuit consisting of the impedance 34 and the crystal 35. The decreased resulting signal will be amplified by the bootstrapped buffer amplifier 38 and supplied to the rectifying circuit 39.
Note that the signal collected from the transducer 13 (the same as the signal collected across crystal 35) will sharply decrease for very small capacitive changes of 10−2 to 10−3 pF (values corresponding to those expected for coded information printed with conductive inks as independently determined using a professional LCR reference meter) because of the high Q of the resonator crystal 35 and the high impedances and low capacitances on either side of the crystal 35.
Following the rectifying circuit 39, the signal is processed by the level-shifting amplifier 40 and the feedback integrator 41. The signal at the emitter of a transistor 67 is above the floating ground in a positive voltage domain, creating an undesirable "common mode" for an amplifier 69. A feedback loop is therefore included which consists of an integrator 70 and a transistor 75, which will adjust the inverting input voltage of the amplifier 69 to be the same as the level of the non-inverting input of the same amplifier.
The output signal of the amplifier 69 will be forced in this way to the level of the floating ground 36 taking into account that the integrator 70 is self-creating a zero voltage between its inputs. The integrator 70 time-constant, which is determined by the product of elements 71 and 72, is much larger than the expected pulse duration of the signal produced at the transducer 13 but shorter than the time scale of expected temperature variations that can affect the signal. Previous art (U.S. Pat. No. 5,231,359) has used a similar technique to modify the reactance of the resonator crystal 35 by altering a variable capacitance diode in parallel with the resonator. This requires many additional electronic circuit elements and does not negate the temperature effects suffered by the integrator 70 itself on the resonator side upon which it acts. In our circuit, all summed temperature effects are canceled at the level shifter, thus not affecting the performance of the resonator. Another advantage is using the amplifier 69 as a real amplifier (with gain 30 here) as a first amplification stage.
A switch 74 together with a potentiometer 76 allows for initial calibration when the integrator loop is disconnected.
The measured parameters for the crystals 62 and 35 indicate a quality factor of over 500 could be achieved at 5 MHz with parallel equivalent capacitance of 3.335 and 3.257 pF respectively. It is with respect to these capacitances that the very small additional capacitance produced at the transducer (1 fF) has to be detected. High selectivity resonant curves of the crystals offer the possibility to operate in the MHz frequency range instead of the GHz range adopted by others in previous work together with all the unwanted problems introduced by operation at such high frequencies (e.g., screening, interference, reflection, etc.).
Because of high sensitivity of the crystal circuits, only two stages of amplification are used (amplifiers 40 and 42). Amplifier 42 is an inverting amplifier, and its feedback network is adjusted to filter the signals sensed at the transducer. The adjustment control (voltage source) 44 will set the threshold level for the signals that have to be processed by the A/D converter 43.
The amplitude-duration converter 45 will translate with a sample-and-hold circuit combined with a linear sweep integrator the peak amplitude of every signal pulse into a pulse train consisting of equal amplitude pulses, but with a width of individual pulses corresponding to their initial amplitudes. Since the initial amplitudes are indicative of the widths of the lines in the bar-code 12, the converter 45 allows a visual display of the original bar-code to be exhibited on a video monitor (not shown) driven by the computer 47.
FIG. 5 represents a refinement of the transducer 13 that will allow more complex structure than simple bar-codes to be mapped and hence interpreted. The transducer plates 20-21 and 22-23 are terminated in flattened points above and below the envelope 10. A permanent capacitance between plates 20-21 as well as 22-23 will be modified by the presence of conductive or dielectric ink of the bar-code 12 on the insert(s) 11 enclosed in the envelope 10. By arranging an array of such transducers 13 to cover the width of an envelope passing the array, an image of the contents of the envelope can be built up within the computer 47, making use of the translation of the envelope past the transducers as the time base.
FIG. 6 shows a train of envelopes 10 being driven past the transducer 13 by means of a conventional envelope transport mechanism such a belt drive 80. The signals amplified by amplifier 14 are fed into the computer 47 and interpreted to suit the needs of a particular use. For example, conventional recognition programs can be run to interpret the information pattern of the bar-code 12. The computer 47 can also be used to monitor the speed with which the envelopes 10 are measured to arrive at the transducer 13, and this information can be used to alter the speed of a drive 82 for the transport belt 80.
A variety of further processing can take place based on the information acquired from contents 83 of the envelopes 10. For example, the envelopes 10 can be sorted according to their contents 83, orders or replies can be generated, records can be updated, or the information can be verified. In the in-line system of FIG. 6, a conventional printer 81 is controlled to print information on the envelopes' outer surfaces (exteriors), which is linked to the information acquired from the contents 83 of the envelopes 10. For example, addresses can be printed to match address or other identifying information acquired from the contents 83 of the envelopes 10.
Instead of printing the address information on the envelopes' outer surfaces, previously printed address information could be read from the envelopes' outer surfaces by a conventional optical reader and compared with the identifying information acquired from their contents. Further processing of the envelopes can be interrupted upon detection of a mismatch between the two addresses, and the mismatch can be corrected.
While the information encoded in the envelopes' contents 83 is preferably a conventional bar-code, other conventional symbols interpretable in alphanumeric characters could also be used to support the further processing of the envelopes 10. Unique self-defined symbols could also be used.
The remaining two drawing figures illustrate other arrangements of the transducer 13. In FIG. 7, the plates of transducer 13 are arranged parallel to each other and oriented normal to a transport direction of the envelope 10. In FIG. 8, the plates of the transducer 13 are aligned end-to-end and oriented normal to the transport direction of the envelope 10. The latter arrangement is preferred for measuring linear bar-code patterns, although spatial resolution may be less.
Further to either arrangement, the transducers 13 are preferably mounted either above or below the envelopes within a shielded housing (not shown) with one or more grounds. A ground plate (not shown) can also be mounted on the opposite side of the envelope 10, a variation on a principle used in non-contact capacitive displacement measurement devices such as a Micro-Epsilon System E+H unit. A Faraday shield or cup (also not shown) can also be mounted opposite to the transducer to guard against entry of stray radiation.
The plates of transducer 13 can be made using printed circuit board technology by etching away a conductive surface except in a region where the plates are created. The circuit board (not shown) can be cut or drilled between adjacent plates to create a localized air gap.
In addition to the processing of envelopes with hidden contents, the invention can also be used to read information hidden in other ways such as within packaging or behind labels. For example, conductive ink could be used to print instructional or identifying information between layers of labels or other laminates to control further operations on or with the labels.

Article Title
Author Biography
Sushma Joshi is a writer from Nepal. Her book The End of the World was long-listed for the Frank O'Connor Short Story Award. She has a BA from Brown University, and an MA in English Literature from Middlebury College. A novel is forthcoming.
"The Prediction" was told to writer Sushma Joshi by her father--it is considered a true story. Joshi's family were astrologers till her grandfather's generation, after which their branch of the family stopped practicing astrology. The word "Joshi" is a common surname derived from "Jyotish", which means Vedic astrologers, and is shared by both Brahmin and Newar astrologers in Nepal. Their original surname was "Regmi". The family fled the Mogul invasion 700 years ago, and came from the Kumaon area of the Indian Himalayas (more specifically, Naini Tal's Joshi Muth) to Bajhang, before migrating to Kathmandu to work at the royal court of Nepal. Kumai Brahmins are considered different from Purvay Brahmins, who originate from the east part of Nepal. The young astrologer in this story, however, is not from Joshi's family. He is thought to have come from outside Kathmandu. _____________

Looking for a Used Passat in your area?
CarGurus has 25,116 nationwide Passat listings starting at $999.
1992 Volkswagen Passat Overview
For 1992, Volkswagen introduced a new entry-level CL trim package for its Passat sedan and wagon, which joined the existing GL package. Both trims came with a 2.0-liter, twin-cam, 4-cylinder engine that generated 134 hp. It was coupled with a five-speed manual overdrive transmission, which was standard. A four-speed automatic was available as an option for both trim packages.
Standard features for the CL included power brakes, bucket seats, a rear-window defroster, a tilt steering wheel, and 14-inch wheels. The GL added air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, and a cassette player as standard equipment. Anti-lock brakes were available as an option on the CL; a sunroof and leather seats were available as options on the GL.
Drivers' opinions of the Passat varied widely. Transmission problems were noted by a number of drivers, who also pointed out that repairs for the Passat were expensive. On the other hand, some drivers noted that the car ran well, even when the mileage was well north of 200,000. The Passat's handling, roominess, and gas mileage generally got good marks from drivers.

Bunnie Huang's seminal book "Hacking the Xbox" is now a free PDF, released thus by the author in honor of Aaron Swartz. "Hacking the Xbox" is the "Our Bodies, Our Selves" of reverse engineering -- a brilliant and accessible text setting out the case for and the practicalities of reverse engineering and taking control of your devices.
Read the rest
I agreed to release this book for free in part because Aaron's treatment by MIT is not unfamiliar to me. In this book, you will find the story of when I was an MIT graduate student, extracting security keys from the original Microsoft Xbox. You'll also read about the crushing disappointment of receiving a letter from MIT legal repudiating any association with my work, effectively leaving me on my own to face Microsoft.
The difference was that the faculty of my lab, the AI laboratory, were outraged by this treatment. They openly defied MIT legal and vowed to publish my work as an official "AI Lab Memo," thereby granting me greater negotiating leverage with Microsoft. Microsoft, mindful of the potential backlash from the court of public opinion over suing a legitimate academic researcher, came to a civil understanding with me over the issue.
It saddens me that America's so-called government for the people, by the people, and of the people has less compassion and enlightenment toward their fellow man than a corporation. Having been a party to subsequent legal bullying by other entities, I am all too familiar with how ugly and gut-wrenching a high-stakes lawsuit can be.
JWZ wrote his own Vimeo downloader (and uses other Vimeo downloaders like Miro), but it's stopped working, because Vimeo's got new countermeasures.
I really rely on Vimeo downloaders for my own watching, since Vimeo's network buffering is so terribly broken and performs so poorly in bad network connections. Any time I really want to watch a video on Vimeo -- especially if it's more than a few minutes long -- I download it and watch it with VLC.
JWZ is looking for help reverse-engineering the measures Vimeo uses to stop video downloading. If you've got the time and inclination to help him, that would be great (it would also really help me write about and link to more Vimeo files here!).

On a private video, when you hit "Play" in either the Flash player or the HTML5 player, it loads "http://av.vimeo.com/Nx5/Nx3/Nx9.mp4?aksessionid=HEX&token=CTIME_HEX2" which returns the full MP4. Those URLs go 403 after some small number of minutes, and it loads a URL with different hex each time you hit play (though the decimal numbers stay the same), so presumably the ctime is a part of the hash.
The fact that this works in the HTML5 player means that they are computing those URLs from Javascript somehow, rather than with a secret key that is baked into their Flash player, so that's promising. But I don't have a lot of experience reverse-engineering gigantic Javascript apps.
Since it will be the first thing you find when googling, let me point out that the old moogaloop URLs like "http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:ID" are 404.
Microsoft-owned Skype has launched a campaign to shut down programmers who use reverse-engineering to understand its protocol and make interoperable products. Their PR agency calls this "nefarious attempts to subvert Skype's experience." Unfortunately for Skype and Microsoft, "experience" is not something the law protects -- after all, if a Skype user wants to talk to another person who uses a third-party Skype client, why would the law want to prevent that? Meanwhile, it appears that the sourcecode over which Microsoft is asserting copyright was created by the reverse-engineer they're harassing.

The day of publishing his initial details, Google's Blogger (where his blog is hosted) received a DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) notice that two of his blog entries had to be removed: the post about his success in reverse-engineering the Skype protocol and then a second post about more technical details.
The complainant issuing the DMCA notice was in fact "Skype Inc" and the basis for the complaint is "Source code. The publication of this code, in addition to infringing Skype's intellectual property rights, may encourage improper spamming activities." (Google publishes DMCA complaints to ChillingEffects.org.)
Skype issued a second DMCA copyright notice after this researcher published more Skype related code. Those files have since moved to being hosted elsewhere. Skype is claiming copyright on the code even though the open-source code was written by the researcher. Another DMCA takedown attempt regarding the same work was issued again in early August when the researcher tried doing a DMCA counter-notice, and he ended up putting up links again to this "copyrighted" work.

Bellevue family sues FBI over 'terrifying' raid
Brian Bowling|PittsburghTribuneReview
The lasting impact of the raid on Gary Adams' home became clear in a comment from his 3-year-old granddaughter during a recent trip to the pharmacy.
"She said, 'Granddad. Police. Hide,' " Adams, 57, of Bellevue recalled Wednesday while discussing the federal lawsuit he filed against the officers who burst into his home March 3.
Led by FBI Special Agent Karen Springmeyer, about a dozen officers used a battering ram to enter Adams' rented Orchard Street home in a search for Sondra Hunter, then 35. But Hunter hadn't lived at that address for almost two years, while Adams and his family had been living there for more than a year, according to the lawsuit filed by Adams and 10 other family members.
The family crowded into a Downtown conference room with their lawyer, Timothy O'Brien, to discuss the case.
An FBI spokeswoman referred all calls to the U.S. Attorney's Office, where a spokeswoman declined to comment.
The lawsuit says that officers knew, or should have known, that Hunter no longer lived there. By executing an arrest warrant at a residence that wasn't Hunter's, they violated the family's Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure, and their Fifth Amendment right to due process, the lawsuit says.

What is the best way to use crowd testing for application given the fact that application testing requires domain knowledge
What is the best way to use crowd testing for application given the fact that application testing requires domain knowledge
2 Answers
Crowd testing is a relatively new software testing innovation that enables the developers to have their software tested across multiple unique devices. It brings together thousands of professional testers from across the globe to test software on multiple devices, browsers and operating systems.This form of software testing meets the scale of necessary testing across a large user base spread throughout the world. The crowd's diversity enhances test coverage which is not possible with a stand-alone QA team. It differs from traditional testing methods in that the testing is carried out by a number of different testers from different places, and not by hired consultants and professionals. Some of the best crowd sourcing services providers: 1. http://qualitrix.com/ 2. https://www.passbrains.com/ 3. https://www.utest.com/ Cheers Jack!
I may suggest at least couple of approaches that we see is there is a clear way one can distinguish between the code areas of testing you know let's say performance aspects or let's say very niche areas of the user experience part these would probably difficult to kind of look ata crowd testing point of view but let's say the need to do functionality testing across various form factor, across various OS versions that browsers.
For example these could be something the basic test could be done in house to ensure certain level of maturity, certain level of entity and then leverage the crowd to bringing the simple thing rendering across the different resolutions and so for that so wherever there is a need you feel the end user is going to experience that a usage point of view it can you leverage the crowd and identify these issue even before it goes like.

Most of us never outgrow our love for corn on the cob. Fresh sweet corn with plump and milky kernels smeared with butter brings out the kid in all of us.
Try to use fresh corn as soon as you buy it. The sugars in the kernels start turning to starch after it?s picked, so the sooner it?s cooked the better it will taste. This recipe is a twist on the usual boiled corn. After the corn is cooked and buttered, it?s sprinkled with a spicy mix of salt, garlic powder, pepper, basil, thyme and oregano.

IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys showed a remarkable ability to come back from double-digit deficits throughout the course of the season.
Unfortunately, they were mostly caused by their poor starts. Whatever Jason Garrett was selling before the game, the Cowboys were not buying at the beginning, especially early in the season.
In Week 2 at Seattle, the Cowboys fumbled the opening kickoff, allowed a blocked punt return for a touchdown and had an interception on their first three drives, which led to a 10-0 deficit and 27-7 loss.
In Week 4 against Chicago, the Cowboys found themselves down 24-10 thanks to interception returns for touchdowns by Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs.
In Week 8 against the New York Giants, they trailed 23-0 thanks in part to two interceptions, including a 28-yard pick-six by Jason Pierre-Paul.
On Thanksgiving, the Cowboys allowed 28 second-quarter points, falling behind by 25 at halftime against Washington.
For a team that had little margin for error, the poor starts were too much to overcome and played a big part in why the Cowboys finished 8-8 for the second straight year.

Farragut wound up scoring 38 unanswered points and took down the reigning title holders 45-35 to win the 2016 TSSAA Class 5A state championship, which is the first gold ball in program history.
Collins totaled nine receptions for 177 yards with the two TDs. He also intercepted a pass.
The 6-foot, 175-pounder received his first scholarship offer from Tennessee Tech on Jan. 31. Since then, he's added 19 others and is getting ample interest from the nearby Tennessee Volunteers, including receiving a pair of recent invites to Rocky Top by coach Butch Jones' staff.
See what Collins said about his recruitment and much more in the exclusive InsideTennessee video above.
