Emergency Indicators, Current Events
by Wilfred L. Guerin 16 Jun '02

16 Jun '02

[Please CC "Wilfred(a)Cryogen.com" all responses.] In light of the forthcoming Tyrany/Dictatorship with the all-honest fed-gestapo, and resulting from Fox's display of (attached image) upon the takedown of their entire server array immediately after posting *legitimate* inquiry/articles, I search and notice a severe lack of publicised listings of the conventional emergency indicator images, the old cold-war type warning symbols, and there is absolutely no publication (disappeared, with a *heck* of a lot of other "safety" and counter-hostility information) of any of the response directives, nor can we find openly a listing of the symbols and their interpretations whatsoever... This, along with the current events and other issues, indicate a heightened expectation for public outcry with the forthcoming events, some of which are apparently delayed/late, as the common populus has not yet revolted about the oil profit federal terrorists, nor other issues... The concern, is for the 40% population who comprehends the existance of emergency response protocol, and the 2% that will actually do something about it, there is absolutely no publications currently with any information on this topic. FEMA has eliminated print/stock, the nuke warning symbols are still posted, but only for power-plant issues. CD/etc are all whitewashed... Now, with this said... I know this symbol (from Fox) as being a warning that the xmit arrays and content feeds have been compromised... It has been standard since half a centuary ago... Applied, theorhetically, to the server array, if corporate isnt under siege. Now in the current time of war, when most of this is actually going to be put to use for the first time, and we need it (prior, of course, to going to the concentration camps (see '90's policy)) ... it is very obvious that *someone*gestapo*terrorist*feds* has eliminated virtually all digital information on all emergency, logistic, and any other related topic whatsoever... Google looses content constantly, we know what happened to archive.org's repositories from last fall, etc... And the only thing I have left of the CD/EMS indicators is an old photocopy with a few of the generic decals... So what does a simple human do when entities start declaring omega privleges in attempt to save the population? Or have the doomsday logistics been effectively terminated by the feds as well? I'm gonna bet hanging an amerikan flag upside down is now treason and punnishable by on-site rifle blasts to the back of the head. For discussion... -Wilfred L. Guerin Wilfred(a)Cryogen.com

Usenix is really good with this. You agree not to re-publish anything for a period of one year (to cover their print distribution), although you're allowed to put a copy on your home page. After that, you're free to do what you like. They also make all their stuff available online at no charge after a year. This is why I preferentially submit papers to Usenix rather than ACM or IEEE, I want to get the information out there where it does some good, not have it locked up in a copyright prison for all eternity. I can't imagine that the ACM is going to make much (if anything) from the reprint rights of a ten-year-old article on distributed search algorithms, but by locking it up, very few people ever have access to it. (Hmm, I wonder if it can be argued that making stuff intended for public distribution inaccessible violates the creator's moral rights? I know that doesn't apply in the US, but in other countries it might work. Moral rights can't be assigned, so no publisher can take that away from you. Any lawyers out there?). >It's far more typical, though, for the journal to get all rights, except >perhaps classroom use (aka "fair use") by the author. That's more traditional for publishers like IEEE and ACM. OTOH they seem to turn a blind eye to people making papers available on their home pages, even if the publishing agreement says you shouldn't do that. I suspect the backlash would be too strong if they tried to clamp down on this, although I wish it'd be formalised in some way rather than leaving it as a grey area. Peter.
