tracking tech: J. Bell-like vehicle tracker used by locals, malfunctions
Investigators had a list of 20 possible suspects, but Fischer was moved to the top. Detectives said they attached a tracking device to her car, hoping to catch her in the act. On Sunday, more than 30 razor blades were found hidden in Alicia Park in Mission Viejo. Had Fischer been there, the tracking device should have recorded her visit to the park.

Re: overcoming ecash deployment problems (Re: all about transferable off-line ecash)
From: Adam Back [EMAIL PROTECTED] So this would be the argument for a closed supply of money in the system, like the digicash betabucks where they stated up from that they would only issue 1,000,000 betabucks. People trade them based on supply and demand. Perhaps. Though at the time Wei Dai had some arguments at the time that if they were popular, they would be a good investment and people would have an incentive to hold on to them which would make them difficult to obtain, highly inflationary, and hard to use. I have missed that one; however, it is wrong - if people hold them, then they become MORE valuable, and thus you have high deflation - the purchasing power of money grows - which is great. And if their value gets so big that subdivisions start to become necessary, one can always convert them to new betabucks, each old one being worth a million new ones. End of problem. Mark

Quality-wise, it's somewhat better than VHS and almost the same as Hi-8 (which I use for archiving purposes), and definitely inferior to analog laserdisc, which had a thriving market but is now almost extinct (a nice side-effect being that titles are now available for $5-10 and there are some which will never make it to DVD). Hype and brandheads that salivate on words like dolby surroundumb sound aside, average consumer got only new expense with DVDs - buying a player. Like CDs, audio cassetes and IP protocol, VHS will stay forever with us. I disagree, politely, with nearly every point you make. DVDs are taking off faster than I have ever seen a product take off, and I've seen quite a few. They are vastly better than VHS, in picture quality, and are mechanically superior to VHS in nearly every way. (No broken/stretched tapes, no complicated read heads and capstans to get knocked out of whack, scratched, etc.) [The following video data snippets are from the excellent hobbyist video site www.vcdhelp.com Many foreign contributors, some with only passable English skills.]] The official (legal) resolutions for optical media are: 720 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by most DVD. 704 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by some DVD 480 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by SVCD 352 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by DVD and China Video Disc (CVD). It is also the official SVHS resolution. 352 X 288 (240 NTSC). Used by VCD and DVD. It is also the official VHS resolution The official names for those resolutions, come from US and there are defined like this: 720 X 576 (480 NTSC): CCIR-601, Full PAL/NTSC Studio resolution. 704 X 576 (480 NTSC) as 1/1 D1 or simply as D1(Sometimes this resolution is 702 X 576/480). It is the TV Broadcast resolution 528 X 576 (480 NTSC) as 3/4 D1. It is supposed to be the Laser Disc resolution, but ain't. I'll explain later 480 X 576 (480 NTSC) as 2/3 D1. It is the SVCD resolution. 352 X 576 (480 NTSC) as 1/2 D1. Used by DVD and CVD The VCD resolution is 352 X 288 (240 NTSC) and it is called CIF- 601. In Europe and especially Far East Asia, people tend to use other names to describe the legal DVD - Video resolutions. 704 X 576 as D1 352 X 576 as D2 352 X 288 as D4 704 X 288 as D3. (I also have Hi-8, but would never think of archiving _anything_ to it. Flimsy heads/capstans in spades. Ditto for DV, which I also have. It's resolution is the best of all, but it's convenience and robustness are dubious.) I started looking at laser disks in 1979, but never bought one. The disks were too large and unwieldy to be a competitive format. Laserdisc The official Laserdisc resolution is 528 X 576/480, but many titles in US, after 1990, are using the 544 X 480 resolution. That happened because the first cheap video projectors in US, were using the VGA standard for video in. Of course, those machines were for professional use with PCs. But with the use of special (and cheap) connectors/adaptors or the famous VGA - out connection of specific Laserdiscs, it was possible for the very first time, for US video enthusiast, to have big picture at there houses. It was the only true solution for the first home theatres (the term home cinema came later...). Unfortunately, VGA is not based on CCIR-601, so a picture adaption is needed (VGA is 640 X 480). In other words, the picture aspect was wrong and always a part or some parts of the picture was not in use. Because of Laser Disc limitations, the use of pan and scan method (like DVD - Video) wasn't possible. The only solution without compatibility problems and no cost, was to upgrade the Laserdisc resolution, unofficially, to 544 X 480. In Europe, the success of Laserdisc was minimal, so the few released PAL titles, continue to use the official resolution for PAL (528 X 576). In theory, there is a 544 X 576, but I never saw a PAL laserdisc using this resolution. The DVB/ -s -t -c resolutions The DVB transmissions became mainstream in Europe in 1996 and today are mainstream in US too. In the last five years, the European Union (E.U.), forced all television and radio providers of E.U. Members, to turn their services digital. So, except Germany and partly France (where the interest for analog satellite TV still is huge), everything today is digital. DVB is based on mpeg 2 (like DVD) and supports resolutions from full CIRR - 601 (top quality) to CIF (lowest quality). Any resolution between those limits can be a DVB picture resolution, with any bitrate/size. The correct output picture aspect is accomplished by the use of the pan and scan method, which takes place between the Digital/Analog conversion, before the final picture signal goes

Re: overcoming ecash deployment problems (Re: all about transferable off-line ecash)
I think you are assuming things about rational economic behavior when a money system is subject to high deflation. Consider during periods of high inflation people don't like holding money, as it devalues too fast. They will hold interest bearing deposits instead. During periods of high deflation, they will hold cash if it is the most attractive investment. The result will be shortage of cash, for people who actually want to use it to make purchases because investors will buy all of it. Perhaps there are some government monetary systems in history which had this problem. For example gold with sudden shortage of gold supply, or similar.

Re: overcoming ecash deployment problems (Re: all about transferable off-line ecash)
From: Adam Back [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consider during periods of high inflation people don't like holding money, as it devalues too fast. They will hold interest bearing deposits instead. Agreed. During periods of high deflation, they will hold cash if it is the most attractive investment. The result will be shortage of cash, for people who actually want to use it to make purchases because investors will buy all of it. Right. And a shortage of anything, cash making no exception, is solved automatically (if the market is left alone). The value of a monetary unit will rise until its price will be considered (by the cash holders) high enough - that is, until they will value something else more than the cash. Shortages are NEVER a problem if the market is left alone to clear it - they simply indicate an undervaluation of the commodity. Perhaps there are some government monetary systems in history which had this problem. For example gold with sudden shortage of gold supply, or similar. Once you put the gov't into the equation, all bets are off :) Mark

Tech lay communication: IDS, Patch, Legislativermin (TEALE)
Intercepted a live broadcast of a CA state board on privacy reviewing some breaching of a state comptroller's servers which manage state deductions. The Teale Data Center incident alluded to at http://www.privacy.ca.gov/stateemployee.htm and at the gnarly URL: http://www.ca.gov/state/govsite/gov_htmldisplay.jsp?BV_SessionID=1917707281.1023395486BV_EngineID=cadceffmidlibemgcfkmchchi.0sFilePath=%2fgovsite%2fpress_release%2f2002_05%2f20020531_PR02323_teale.htmlsCatTitle=Press+ReleaseiOID=33866sTitle=Press%2bRelease+++ One of the clueless legislativermin just couldn't understand how an IDS can tell that a system's been probed (700,000 times a month) if it wasn't breached. And the hapless bureaucratechs failed to explain the simple explanation: that to probe, the system must be contacted via the network, and that contact is logged. Maybe they should have simply said doorknob-checks vs. breakins. The same legislator had serious cognitive difficulty with the concept of a software patch. The more clueful failed to explain its like letting an author have another pass over a book. They can fix little things, or rip and replace chapters; the risk (and reason patches aren't instantly, blindly installed) being this can break the ways you've relied on the book. It was so tragic it was comic. --- Give away the backplane, sell the blades

The morphism between British English and American English gives rise to many interesting structures.

I don't think the frequency response has evern been an issue...tube amps are said to have a warmer sound, and to have more odd harmonic distortion than transistor amps, but the frequency response of _any_ transistor or tube amp is vastly beyond what even high-end speakers and headphones can typically deliver. A modern solid state amp is essentially flat from 20 Hz to 20 KHz.

Mr. Elloi wrote first about the fashion for valve audio amps and then mentioned that some yahoos listen with Dolby emphesis. I commented that the latter was for the old deaf. This is unrelated to the fashion for valves. I don't think the frequency response has evern been an issue...tube amps are said to have a warmer sound, and to have more odd harmonic distortion than transistor amps, but the frequency response of _any_ transistor or tube amp is vastly beyond what even high-end speakers and headphones can typically deliver. A modern solid state amp is essentially flat from 20 Hz to 20 KHz. Yes, in the linear part of their operation. But its the *distortion* (large signal behavior) which differs ---tubes distort differently when overdriven. I believe the difference when driven with a square wave is that tubes have a more RC-like output function, vs. a sharper (faster slew) transistor reproduction. One little known fact is that humans actually prefer a small amount of distortion in their listening. The THD of amps with a lot of decimal-zeroes, is a good technical spec (easily attainable, cheaply, nowadays), but is totally a marketing scam. First you can't hear the difference between .01 and .001 % THD, and second you prefer ~ .1% Now back to your regularly scheduled decay of civilization..

Ground breaking post card creates annuity leads
Title: Ground breaking post card creates annuity leads Every senior wants to hear about the roth conversion if you can eliminate the up front tax cost. You can with the new and improved roth conversion program from GSL Advisory. The cheapest and most successful way to generate roth conversion program leads is to send postcards while also placing an ad in the small local paper. Repeat the ads and the postcard mailing at least 6 different times. The one truth in advertising is that repetition works. Even the smallest and most unassuming ad works if it is seen several times. See if you can find an area that has its own zip code and a local paper serving that area. Some retirement communities have both a newspaper and their own zip code. This is your gold mine.

tracking tech: J. Bell-like vehicle tracker used by locals, malfunctions
Investigators had a list of 20 possible suspects, but Fischer was moved to the top. Detectives said they attached a tracking device to her car, hoping to catch her in the act. On Sunday, more than 30 razor blades were found hidden in Alicia Park in Mission Viejo. Had Fischer been there, the tracking device should have recorded her visit to the park.

Re: overcoming ecash deployment problems (Re: all about transferable off-line ecash)
I think you are assuming things about rational economic behavior when a money system is subject to high deflation. Consider during periods of high inflation people don't like holding money, as it devalues too fast. They will hold interest bearing deposits instead. During periods of high deflation, they will hold cash if it is the most attractive investment. The result will be shortage of cash, for people who actually want to use it to make purchases because investors will buy all of it. Perhaps there are some government monetary systems in history which had this problem. For example gold with sudden shortage of gold supply, or similar.

People trade them based on supply and demand. Perhaps. Though at the time Wei Dai had some arguments at the time that if they were popular, they would be a good investment and people would have an incentive to hold on to them which would make them difficult to obtain, highly inflationary, and hard to use. I have missed that one; however, it is wrong - if people hold them, then they become MORE valuable, and thus you have high deflation - the purchasing power of money grows - which is great. And if their value gets so big that subdivisions start to become necessary, one can always convert them to new betabucks, each old one being worth a million new ones. End of problem. Mark
Re: overcoming ecash deployment problems (Re: all about transferable off-line ecash)
From: Adam Back [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consider during periods of high inflation people don't like holding money, as it devalues too fast. They will hold interest bearing deposits instead. Agreed. During periods of high deflation, they will hold cash if it is the most attractive investment. The result will be shortage of cash, for people who actually want to use it to make purchases because investors will buy all of it. Right. And a shortage of anything, cash making no exception, is solved automatically (if the market is left alone). The value of a monetary unit will rise until its price will be considered (by the cash holders) high enough - that is, until they will value something else more than the cash. Shortages are NEVER a problem if the market is left alone to clear it - they simply indicate an undervaluation of the commodity. Perhaps there are some government monetary systems in history which had this problem. For example gold with sudden shortage of gold supply, or similar. Once you put the gov't into the equation, all bets are off :) Mark

The official (legal) resolutions for optical media are: 720 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by most DVD. ... Physical number of lines is far from being the only measure of quality. Compression has a huge impact, and so do other digital artifacts. For instance, just take a look at the opening scenes (earth rising on the moon horizon) in Kubrick's 2001 on laserdisc and DVD. In DVD, the dark blue-black background consists of funny rectangles. There are also a lot of motion artefacts which give a certain feel do DVD image - but then, that may become fashionable, as valve amplifiers are again now or listening to dolby-recorded tapes without dolby players - some just like that boost in the high end. = end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

No doubt some transfers from film are better than others. Often these discrepancies are more a function of the budget, skill and care of the technician, the available working print and particular equipment and software used, than the target medium. However, all other things being equal, I agree with Tim: DVD is a superior medium to consumer video tape and Laser disk. steve

Tech lay communication: IDS, Patch, Legislativermin (TEALE)
Intercepted a live broadcast of a CA state board on privacy reviewing some breaching of a state comptroller's servers which manage state deductions. The Teale Data Center incident alluded to at http://www.privacy.ca.gov/stateemployee.htm and at the gnarly URL: http://www.ca.gov/state/govsite/gov_htmldisplay.jsp?BV_SessionID=1917707281.1023395486BV_EngineID=cadceffmidlibemgcfkmchchi.0sFilePath=%2fgovsite%2fpress_release%2f2002_05%2f20020531_PR02323_teale.htmlsCatTitle=Press+ReleaseiOID=33866sTitle=Press%2bRelease+++ One of the clueless legislativermin just couldn't understand how an IDS can tell that a system's been probed (700,000 times a month) if it wasn't breached. And the hapless bureaucratechs failed to explain the simple explanation: that to probe, the system must be contacted via the network, and that contact is logged. Maybe they should have simply said doorknob-checks vs. breakins. The same legislator had serious cognitive difficulty with the concept of a software patch. The more clueful failed to explain its like letting an author have another pass over a book. They can fix little things, or rip and replace chapters; the risk (and reason patches aren't instantly, blindly installed) being this can break the ways you've relied on the book. It was so tragic it was comic. --- Give away the backplane, sell the blades

Mr. Elloi wrote first about the fashion for valve audio amps and then mentioned that some yahoos listen with Dolby emphesis. I commented that the latter was for the old deaf. This is unrelated to the fashion for valves. I don't think the frequency response has evern been an issue...tube amps are said to have a warmer sound, and to have more odd harmonic distortion than transistor amps, but the frequency response of _any_ transistor or tube amp is vastly beyond what even high-end speakers and headphones can typically deliver. A modern solid state amp is essentially flat from 20 Hz to 20 KHz. Yes, in the linear part of their operation. But its the *distortion* (large signal behavior) which differs ---tubes distort differently when overdriven. I believe the difference when driven with a square wave is that tubes have a more RC-like output function, vs. a sharper (faster slew) transistor reproduction. One little known fact is that humans actually prefer a small amount of distortion in their listening. The THD of amps with a lot of decimal-zeroes, is a good technical spec (easily attainable, cheaply, nowadays), but is totally a marketing scam. First you can't hear the difference between .01 and .001 % THD, and second you prefer ~ .1% Now back to your regularly scheduled decay of civilization..
