[OT] beware of catalysts to control the internet
Here's a clip, and then some rambling about it. I'm too pressed for time to properly organize the line of thinking, but I think it's so important that I did put a few hours into it. The damage goes beyond Iraq. Al Qaeda's media arm, As-Sahab (The Cloud) has similarly improved the quality and frequency of its videos; the group, says former State Department adviser Philip Zelikow, uses the Internet to provide a sense of virtual identity now that its Afghan training camps have largely been destroyed. The question is how to fight back, when today's most powerful technologies-the Web, cell phones-are better suited to small, nimble organizations. Back in the 1930s national leaders could almost wholly control the framing of their messages, says Donald Shaw, a professor of media theory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who has written about reforms for military public-affairs officers. But now, the podium has lost its influence. For those who once stood behind it, that message at least is very clear. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16497895/site/newsweek/ In this article, the case is made that the Internet is significantly helping our enemy. How will our fear and paranoid-driven war-making rulers respond? Can you just hear Cheney and his Neocon pals talking? We must control the Internet! It's being used against us and this is the last straw! Get our best minds on the problem and come back with a list of recommendations on how we secure the Internet so terrorists can't use it! Nobody will mention the other implication: that a controlled Internet takes the wind out of the legitimate protester's sails as well. How could they control the Internet, anyway? Really not too hard. First, require positive ID at login. Then it's simple: record all Internet traffic in a giant database the size of some mountain in Colorado. Then, when a person comes under scrutiny because, say, because the Information lords don't like him, all they have to do is quietly sift through all that information until they come across something that they can hook into, give it to the Puff Squad, and walla! Another target neutralized. Nobody, it turns out, is perfect. In some way or the other we all have done something we're not proud of, and perhaps even something against the ever-expanding body of law we live by. There are so many laws on the books that if you said you've never committed a crime, I'd think you're not being completely honest. Example: every time I drive without a seat belt, I'm committing a crime. If I insist, I can wind up in jail, heavily fined, and even be puffed up as a criminal for scoffing the law, complete with unshaven photo. Give someone access to this database, and walla: gonzo to the opposition! Just imagine someone sifting through 10 or 20 years of your Internet/email usage, combined with info from tracking devices everywhere, and tell me the Puff Squad can't find ways to beat you to a pulp. So the game boils down to: who has access to this information, because we all know that he who runs the information runs the show. Take into account the possibility that he doesn't like you, and you've got a real problem. Should this information exist in the first place may be the real question, because if it does exist, then someone has to run it. Should it become a tool for those in the same think-tanks who duped us into war? Can we trust them to decide who is a patriot and who is the enemy? You may recall that in the 60's there were many cases of gov't spying on protestors going on. Well, times have changed a lot, and now those doing the spying don't even have to leave their office. A wild guess would be that today investigators have 100x more resources then in the 60's, as a result of that work. A question: do you think I'll be able to post a message, talking like this, to this forum, from an anonymous userid next year? The year after? I don't think we can get around the need for positive logins for things like shopping and voting, but we must support our right to anonymous, unrecorded, untraceable, unfettered internet access. It's either that or be subjected to 'those who run the information run the show'. The choice really is that stark, and it all hinges on one word: anonymous. With anonymous, the info isn't recorded in the first place, and that's the only way to guarantee no links to it. Had the framers of our Constitution and Bill of Rights lived in modern times, they would have included a right to privacy in the Bill of Rights. Because the matter wasn't really important in those days, it wasn't an issue. Today, however, it is an issue, and the best solution is the one they would have applied had they known. You may hate those protestors, despise them, but you *must* protect their right to free and anonymous speech. Take away this right and you will effectively defeat it. Given the attitude of those in control in Washington, with their war on terrorism excuse, they are far more likely

[OT] the fundamental solution to terror is ...
Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2535310,00.html That's scary, if it means that Bush -- presumably on the advice of the Neocon-in-Chief, Vice President Dick Cheney -- has decided to launch a major push, Kagan-style, for victory in Iraq. http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=153798 Since we're approaching some rather large moments of truth, I thought I'd ask a question. Which is the fundamental solution to terror? (a) Love (b) Hate The up side of (a) has been described by writers, poets and artists through history in ways not available to my lesser intellect. The down side is that to love, one becomes vulnerable. The up side of (b) isn't really clear at all, but the down side is that to be an ever greater terror, one has to live with never-ending fear and paranoia; not to mention the when you live by the gun, you die by the gun syndrome. Given the circumstances of today, and the way things are headed, I think we really need to examine this question. It's clear what our rulers want to do, but is that what *we* want to do? I think that, when all is said and done, the average person - anywhere - will go with (a). But if this is the case, then we surely need to start communicating it, because time and events are working against us. If the ME war expands, it will set it motion still more events that we really don't want to happen. If instead we put an end to it and turn our attention to the real scourges of the world, we'll at least have a chance to recover.

RE: Escape from Infinite loop
Mr. Mike show very good ways: There are plenty of ways you can do this. The simplest would be to create a form property, lStop, which is set to .T. in the stop button's Click() Then, in your loop, you will need to call DoEvents() once in a while. This will let the UI events happen, so your code can check to see if lStop has been set to .T. If it has, you can end your loop. Another way would be to use two programs 1. a UI-less EXE that performs your loop. 2. a UI that creates and deletes a file on disk When the UI application starts, it should create the file, and launch the UI-less app. When the stop button is clicked on the UI application, it should delete the file. The loop can do something like this: do while .t. if file(myservice.txt) *** Code to open DBF, look for records, and process else exit endif enddo So if myservice.txt exists, the loop keeps running. If it gets deleted, the loop stops. One benefit of this method is that the loop can be terminated by deleting a file from Windows explorer, if all else fails.

Wouldn't it be better to put the test into a timer event, so it doesn't waste resources? I haven't implemented your appoach anywhere, but can see it's usefulness. I'd just like not to eat a lot of resources when in this mode, which potentially can go on for some time. Also, I am assuming that timer-driven events are a hardware (clock) thing and not a loop somewhere within VFP's runtime, in which case it doesn't matter as much. I believe this question has come up before, but don't think I got a clear understanding of it: do timer events eat any resources while waiting to fire?

RE: [OT] beware of catalysts to control the internet
Heya Bill -
I only have 2 observations :
1. The government of Singapore tracks everything coming and going through
any internet connection. It's part of their anti-porn, anti-terrorist
tracking. If the US wanted to replicate the process, the 'foundation' of
'what to do and how' is already there, and I'm certain the details of
'how' could be shared to the proper US officials.
2. I swear the Patriot Act and it's recent amendments already provide for
the type of internet tracking you are talking about. There are filters
that instantly track against a list of tag words, for web sites and email.
and one comment:
The sites you are talking about are not based in the USA, so the US
government won't be able to shut them down. On the other hand, who is
tracking the traffic at the sites other than the site owner and it's ISP?
Have a wonderful Monday! Regards [Bill]

RE: Escape from Infinite loop
Mr. Bill, If the load is not so much, I think you right. My program will call WebServices continuously. If demands are much, I may run the same program more than one in the server. If I use timer event, I don't sure what should be the intervals. More interval means client wait more, short intervals may decrease the capture of stop button click event. I mean when user click the stop button, if program in job, will not reponse. Isn't it? Ali Ihsan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Arnold Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 12:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Escape from Infinite loop The loop can do something like this: do while .t. if file(myservice.txt) *** Code to open DBF, look for records, and process else exit endif enddo So if myservice.txt exists, the loop keeps running. If it gets deleted, the loop stops. One benefit of this method is that the loop can be terminated by deleting a file from Windows explorer, if all else fails. Wouldn't it be better to put the test into a timer event, so it doesn't waste resources? I haven't implemented your appoach anywhere, but can see it's usefulness. I'd just like not to eat a lot of resources when in this mode, which potentially can go on for some time. Also, I am assuming that timer-driven events are a hardware (clock) thing and not a loop somewhere within VFP's runtime, in which case it doesn't matter as much. I believe this question has come up before, but don't think I got a clear understanding of it: do timer events eat any resources while waiting to fire?

Using a different approach (like n-tier in my case) allows me much more flexibility, imo. Well, sure; it doesn't make sense to lock in your design to one thing. You can define a connection to MySQL, and if later you want to change to an MS SQL Server backend, all you have to do is update the connection information, and everything will still work. You still need to adjust code per backend for joins, date math and such. Oracle / DB2 / MySQL are all different in these cases. Yes, but the variations are not great. In the open source n-tier project I posted on Ed's OpenTech forum, I used a simple DBF that listed the default SQL, specific backend SQL (for overriding the default SQL), primary key, candidate keys, updatable fields, etc. and that design was pretty easy, imo. Sure, there are subtle differences, but no show stoppers or big deals, imo. Date math is the biggest problem I have faced. I currently work with M$, Oracle and DB2 databases and each has their own special way. Joins are much easier.

RE: [NF] SQL Server Management Studio Express
Ok, what is slow? The time to start it up, or the time to change db's or servers and have all those objects in the IDE? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. (attempting my best to not sound sarcastic, but it is all slow) I want to reiterate, I am referring to the SQL Express version, not the regular version. I have no idea if they are the same or different code bases and have not used the one that comes with the standard, developer, or enterprise edition of SQL Server 2005. My experience is on one machine that is a couple of years old with *only* 512MB RAM. I have seen it demoed by presenters and it appeared slow on their machines as well. Hopefully it is addressed in the service packs.

RE: [OT] beware of catalysts to control the internet
Heya Bill -
I only have 2 observations :
1. The government of Singapore tracks everything coming and
going through any internet connection. It's part of their
anti-porn, anti-terrorist tracking. If the US wanted to
replicate the process, the 'foundation' of 'what to do and
how' is already there, and I'm certain the details of 'how'
could be shared to the proper US officials.
And China, where US companies are helping the Chinese establish controls
over the net. Anything for money ...
2. I swear the Patriot Act and it's recent amendments
already provide for the type of internet tracking you are
talking about. There are filters that instantly track
against a list of tag words, for web sites and email.
Let me emphasize: Step # 1: you are positively identified to gain
access, email or otherwise, and Step # 2: everything you do, email or
otherwise, is stashed in the database for 'later'. That database could
be in a mountain in Colorado, or distributed around the world, it just
has to be viewable as a whole - as we well know.
Then, when 'later' comes, and you've pissed off someone with The Power
(access), a look-see through the heap should come up with something that
can be worked with to deal with you.
It's the combination of positive ID's and stashing everything that puts
this mechanic in place. In other words, the greatest invention in all of
history gets to be turned inside out into the most repressive tool ever
invented.
and one comment:
The sites you are talking about are not based in the USA, so
the US government won't be able to shut them down. On the
other hand, who is tracking the traffic at the sites other
than the site owner and it's ISP?
The only way I can think of to keep this monster from growing is
anonymous access, where traffic cannot be related back to individuals.
This is a far more ominous situation then terrorism for free people,
but it's been buried while we're caught up in the frenzy of terrorist
fever, with paranoid warmongers fanning and stoking the fires to insure
a never-ending supply of boggeymen to keep our attention fixed on the
problem they created.
In the end, this is going to boil down to whether the majority of quiet
people who love will prevail, or whether that station will belong to
those not so disposed. Our track record isn't very encouraging, you may
have noticed.
Have a wonderful Monday! Regards [Bill]
Aye, you also!
Bill
