| New Speed Cameras Catch You From Space |
Anonymous writes "A new type of speed cameras which can use satellites to measure average speed
over long distances are being tested in BritainThe cameras, which combine number plate reading technology with a global
positioning satellite receiver, are similar to those used in roadworks.
The AA said it believed the new system could cover a network of streets as
opposed to a straight line, and was “probably geared up to zones in
residential areas.”

| Pirate Party and Philip Nitschke teach seniors to hack filter |
Anonymous writes "AUSTRALIAN NEWS
Pro-euthanasia group Exit International is holding
national hacking crash-courses in how to bypass the Federal
Government's planned ISP-level Internet content filter with help from the Australian Pirate Party.
The first of eight "Hacking Masterclasses" was held in Chatswood NSW on Thursday last week, and drew about 50 elderly people - some bearing laptops.
Exit International director and controversial Australian physician, Philip Nitschke, created the class to help the elderly access euthanasia-assistance material online, following fears that the Internet filter will block access to the information.
A leaked copy of the filter blacklist revealed Exit International
websites, the UK publisher of the Peaceful Pill eHandbook, and three YouTube videos were on the list of banned materials.

| Digital economy bill: One clown giveth and the other clown taketh away |
Anonymous writes "Richard Stallman on the UK Digital Economy Bill
MPs are pushing for faster broadband in the digital economy bill – but also planning to restrict what the public can do with it
When I read about Gordon Brown's plan to give the UK more broadband,
I couldn't restrain my laughter. Isn't this the same clown now busy
circumventing democracy to take away broadband from Britons who already
have it? And what good would broadband do them if they're punished for
using it (or even being suspected of using it)? Laying cables would be
a waste of resources if people are not allowed to use them.

| UK national ID card cloned in 12 minutes |
Anonymous writes "The prospective national ID card was broken and cloned in 12 minutes, the Daily Mail revealed this morning.
The newspaper hired computer expert Adam Laurie to test the security
that protects the information embedded in the chip on the card.Using a Nokia mobile phone and a laptop
computer, Laurie was able to copy the data on a card that is being
issued to foreign nationals in minutes.
He then created a cloned card, and with help from another technology
expert, changed all the data on the new card. This included the
physical details of the bearer, name, fingerprints and other
information. read full story on Computer Weekly

| French court savages "three-strikes" law, tosses it out |
titan writes "France's groundbreaking "three strikes" law
that would disconnect repeat Internet file-swappers has been overturned
by the country's Constitutional Council. "Innocent until proven guilty"
still means something in France.
By
Nate Anderson
| Last updated June 10, 2009 12:01 PM CT The French Constitutional Council has ripped into the new Création et Internet law
which would disconnect repeat online copyright infringers, calling the
basic premise unconstitutional. "Innocent until proven guilty" remains
a central principle of French law, and it cannot be bypassed simply by
creating a new nonjudicial authority. Better known as the "three strikes" law, Création et Internet
set up a High Authority in France that would oversee a graduated
response program designed to curb online piracy. Rightsholders would
investigate, submit complaints to the High Authority (called HADOPI,
after its French acronym), and the Authority would take action.
Warnings would be passed to ISPs, who would forward them to customers;
after two such warnings, the subscriber could be disconnected and
placed on a nationwide "no Internet" blacklist. Read full story at ARS Technica |

| LiquidNet Reveals a Free Website Template Download Project |
RossTodoroff writes "LiquidNet (www.liquidnetlimited.com), the famous Linux-based web hosting services provider, announces that it has recently launched Themza.com - a new online project aimed at offering a wide variety of free templates and web design themes for PHP script-based websites such as blogs, image galleries and content management systems. New skins are being continuously added to the list of the Joomla templates, WordPress, Moodle and 4images themes currently available for download in .zip format to all the users contemplating a new personal or business website and searching for an appropriate template to accommodate its contents, as well as to those simply looking for a fresh new theme to replace their current outdated one.
Users can get acquainted with the layout and the functionalities of each particular skin by examining the demo versions provided or by simply clicking on the respective thumbnail image for a larger view. All they have to do is download the preferred template to their personal computer and then upload it to a website of their own, provided that they have already obtained an up-to-date version of the script the template in question pertains to. Users are also given the opportunity to pick an appropriate package optimized to accommodate the various free themes should they still have not found an adequate hosting service for their open source script-based website or in case they are unable to handle the whole script installation process all by themselves.

| Teachers Need an Open-Source Education. |
In an article seen recently on Datamation,
Remember back in 2008 when a teacher named "Karen" made a remark
about using Linux holding her students back? The idea apparently being
that students using Linux must somehow be participating in something
that is illegal.
Later, apologies ensued despite new wounds on both sides of the issue
being created. Seems to me that this is not just individuals in the
proprietary software realm who have no idea how open source software
works. Apparently the group of misinformation junkies now includes teachers as well.
Free as in freedom, not as in free lunch
Even with the recent growth in adoption with open source software on
proprietary platforms, there are still countless people in places of
authority who have no idea that there is such as thing as free/open
source software (FOSS). And to be completely fair, it is easy to see
how a teacher might become confused when they are surrounded by
mainstream media talking heads that spend more time trumpeting the
threat of "software piracy" than their FOSS alternatives.

| NASA warns of 'space Katrina' radiation storm |
Ill solar winds blow nobody any good
By Lewis Page • Get more from this author
Posted in Space, 7th January 2009 09:14 GMT
A study funded by NASA has flagged up yet another terrible hazard
for those no longer able to get excited about nuclear war, global
pandemics, terrorism, climate change, economic meltdown and asteroid
strike. Top space brainboxes say that even if the human race survives
all those, there is a serious risk of civilisation being brought
crashing to its knees by a sudden high-intensity solar radiation storm. The new study, carried out for NASA by the US National Academy of
Sciences, might tickle the palate of even the most jaded disaster
connoisseur.
"Whether it is terrestrial catastrophes or extreme space weather
incidents, the results can be devastating to modern societies that
depend in a myriad of ways on advanced technological systems," says
Professor Daniel Baker of Colorado Uni, an expert in atmospheric and
space physics who led the report's authors. read more |

| Ubuntu Kung Fu - Tips, Tricks, Hints and Hacks. |
Lorin Ricker writes "Back
in the dark ages of windows-based GUIs, corresponding to my own
wandering VMS evangelical days, I became enamored of a series of books
jauntily entitled Xxx Annoyances (from O'Reilly &
Assocs.), where "Xxx" could be anything from "Windows 95", "Word",
"Excel" or nearly piece of software which Microsoft produced. These
were, if not the first, certainly among the most successful of the
"tips & tricks" books that have become popular and useful to scads
of hobbyists, ordinary users, hackers and, yes, even professionals in
various IT pursuits. I was attracted, even a bit addicted, to these if
only because they offered to try to make some useful sense out of the
bewildering design choices, deficiencies and bugs that I'd find rampant
in Windows and its application repertory. Then I found Keir Thomas, who
has been writing about Linux for more than a decade. His new "tips"
book entitled, Ubuntu Kung Fu — Tips & Tools for Exploring Using, and Tuning Linux, and published by Pragmatic Bookshelf,
is wonderful. Having only recently wandered into the light of Linux,
open source software, and Ubuntu in particular, this book comes as a
welcome infusion to my addiction."

| Police set to step up hacking of home PCs |
Seen this week on Times Online....
THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain
routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.
The move, which follows a decision by the European Union’s council of
ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and opposition
MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the surveillance state
which drives “a coach and horses” through privacy laws.
The hacking is known as “remote searching”. It allows police or MI5 officers
who may be hundreds of miles away to examine covertly the hard drive of
someone’s PC at his home, office or hotel room.

| Learning and Educating yourself is a Forever Process |
Seen recently on articles base, by Steve Conn
At 44 years of age, I find myself with the desire to learn more than I
ever have and with the technology we have today, there is no excuse for
lack of knowledge.
It seems as though most people view
learning as a period of life from say birth to college and then they
are done. Statistically, less then 25% of people ever read a complete
book after they graduate from school. I can't believe those figures
especially when you research the truly successful people out there, and
you realize 95% of them are constantly reading new books, attending
workshops or seminars and researching ways to increase their business,
better their relationships and increase the impact they have on the
world around. Books on dealing with people help in sales, management,
leadership or mentoring and running billion dollar companies. Even
everyday, run of the mill employees working a mundane job can benefit
from books like that.

| Windows scores 5 out of top 500 Supercomputer List |
The bi-annual release of the Top 500
supercomputer list is an opportunity for a flurry of press releases as
every company crows about its bragging rights: HP had the most machines
on the list, IBM held most of the top spots, Intel chips were in almost
400 of the machines and AMD had the top two spots.
A quieter debut, without much fanfare, was the No. 10 spot, featuring the first appearance of a supercomputer from China's Shanghai Supercomputer Center.
The Dawning 5000A is a Quad-Core Opteron machine with Infiniband
connectors and 12 terabytes of memory, power by Microsoft Windows HPC
2008.
That makes for a total of four Windows HPC 2008 systems and
one Windows Computer Cluster 2003 machine on the list.
OK, so Microsoft
(NASDAQ: MSFT) is only at one percent of the operating systems on the
list, while Linux is on 389 (77 percent) of the machines, but Microsoft has only recently entered high performance computing (HPC), so it's a start.

Internet "black boxes" could be used to record every email and website visit made by computer users in Britain, it has been reported.
Under Government plans to monitor internet traffic, raw data would be collected and stored by the black boxes before being transferred to a giant central database.
The vision was outlined at a meeting between officials from the Home Office and Internet Service Providers earlier this week.
It is further evidence of the Government's desire to have the capability to vet every telephone call, email and internet visit made in the UK, which has already provoked an outcry.
