[NetBehaviour] ID cards are here - but police can't read them.

2009-02-06 Thread marc garrett
Exclusive: ID cards are here - but police can't read them.

A waste of time for biometric ID checks...

By Nick Heath.

The first UK ID cards have already been issued - but no UK police 
officers or border guards have any way of reading the data stored on them.

Currently no police stations, border entry points or job centres have 
readers for the card's biometric chip, the Identity and Passport Service 
(IPS) revealed in response to an FoI (Freedom of Information) request by 
silicon.com about the ?4.7bn identity cards scheme.

The broken nature of that link has already prompted criticism by the 
government's political rivals. Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling 
said: Once again ministers have shown that the ID card project is 
absolutely farcical. What is the point of spending billions of pounds on 
cards that can't be read in the UK?

[NetBehaviour] Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes on Crowd.

Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes on Crowd.

Microsoft founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates released a glass full 
of mosquitoes at an elite technology conference to make a point about 
the deadly disease malaria.

Malaria is spread by mosquitoes, Gates said while opening a jar 
onstage at the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference — a 
gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood 
stars.

I brought some. Here I'll let them roam around. There is no reason only 
poor people should be infected.

[NetBehaviour] Three Reasons Why I Won't Be Using Google Latitude.

2009-02-06 Thread marc garrett
Three Reasons Why I Won't Be Using Google Latitude.

Targeted advertising -- not to mention an intangible creepy feeling -- 
will keep me under the radar.

JR Raphael, PC World.

Google unveiled its new mobile location tracking service, Google 
Latitude, on Wednesday -- and it took me only a matter of minutes to 
determine it’s one service I won’t be using.

Google Latitude, if you haven’t heard, lets you have your location 
monitored and shared in real time with your friends, family, or whomever 
you choose. Once you sign up, GPS satellites and cell towers watch your 
whereabouts. They pull location data from your laptop or smartphone, 
then pinpoint you on a pretty little Google Map as you go about your day.

While Google Latitude isn’t the first mobile location tracking service 
to hit the market, it may be the first with the potential for mainstream 
and widespread adoption. Here are three reasons why I won’t be hopping 
on the bandwagon.

Hi Rob,

As you no doubt know, patenting the human genome is more profitable - 
it's like having a herd of cows standing around outside your door not 
earning you anything - a waste of product.

OUTDOORS INTERVENTIONS
Sunday, February 8, 11.30-17.00, Aarhus City

Conference, public interventions and concert

*deadSwap*
by Dmytri Klenier and the Telekommunisten (CA/DE)
deadSwap is a social experiment exploring the possibilities of creating 
an entirely off-line fire-sharing and communications platform where 
people pass a USB memory stick from one to another. The co-ordination of 
the passing-on of the stick is done through an anonymous SMS gateway, 
meaning that the system does not require Internet availability, and also 
that with certain precautions can be a very private system that is quite 
difficult to monitor. The system was developed for Sousveillance and the 
first version of the system will be launched during the event, creating 
the world's first deadSwap network in Aarhus.
The deadSwap workshop by Dmytri Kleiner (CA) starts at 12.30 at the 
Department of Information and Media Studies, Helsingforsgade 14, 8200 
Århus N, Wiener Building, meeting room.

*In:Visible Aarhus*
by Leipziger Kamera (DE) and Space Hijackers (UK)
A geographic and psychogeographic game exploring surveillance and the 
surveyed. Do we exist outside what others can see – a cropped view of 
society?
As we progress towards a world of human watchtowers and digital spies, 
are we but fugitives from a camera's eyes?
Observing you observing us observing you as you watch us watching you 
watching us. Beware of inverse radio CCTV broadcasts. Spot the 
eco-friendly anti-surveillance head gear. Learn everything you never 
wanted to know about everybody. Practice your evil chuckles.

*Self-surveillance / Protected*
By Mare Tralla (EE/UK)
In Aarhus Mare Tralla combines two of her public interventions 
'Self-surveillance' and 'Protected'. In a tradition of feminist 
performace art in Self-surveillance Tralla ironically takes the act of 
surveillance and protection of her own body into her own hands. The 
artist equips herself with portable self-surveillance system, embedded 
into her clothing which is made visible by warning sign in her T-shirt 
and ironic large flowers housing the cameras. The system observes both 
the outside environment and her body, tracking and recording the 
movement and changes of space and body as the artist simply walks 
through different environments. The resulting 'video evidence' is a 
poetic animation of space and body but totally useless as surveillance 
evidence. In Protected Tralla continues the almost invisible actions 
as a series of live easel painting performances, 'tracking the 
movements' of CCTV cameras throughout city spaces. The artist will evoke 
this 16th century tradition, which set easel painters free from the 
constraints of painting on walls or fixed, architectural schemes and 
increased the social and intellectual status of the individual artist. 
By painting the motives of CCTV cameras she draws attention to the 
hidden, invisible or un-noticeable, in contemporary urban environment. 
The actions often take place in public locations, where photographing 
CCTV systems is not officially allowed thus also testing the rules and 
regulations which 'protect' the 'protectors'. The simple action of 
painting in public is very visible and often provokes reactions from 
passers-by, who engage with the artist to discuss the issues around 
surveillance in their lives.

Hi Clément

Did you 'make install'? i've kinda forced this now, you have to.
but if you have done this, then install the gnu debugger, gdb (if you
don't already) and:

gdb ./xorcurses

then:

run

and:

backtrace

and let me know what it says?

i'm gonna try and work out a reasonable way to not force the make
install,
it's just a matter of do i get it to look within the current working
directory always, or only if it does not find (the maps, help) in
/usr/local/share/XorCurses, etc.
Thanks,

oh yeah, if you really don't want to, or simply can't (have root access
granted) for sudo make install then look in options.c, line 17,
change the zero to a one and it will resort to its previous behaviour.
there's a comment next to it, should help you identify ... 0=def,
1=cwd,2=other, 0 is current behaviour ie look in
/usr/local/share/XorCurses for maps etc, 1 is look in current working
