multicasting w/ cell phones (Acad ref)
by Khoder bin Hakkin 06 Dec '01

06 Dec '01

Integrated Multicast for Ad-Hoc Networks The IMAHN project is investigating multicast protocols in ad-hoc networks. Ad-hoc networks are collections of mobile nodes communicating using wireless media, without any fixed infrastructure. Conventional routing is inadequate in these scenarios, as the mobility aspect can cause rapid and frequent changes in network topology. Moreover, each mobile host must be able to act both as a network router and an endpoint, because limited transmission ranges necessitate forwarding packets over multiple hops. Existing multicast protocols fall short because node mobility causes conventional multicast trees to rapidly become outdated. Frequent state changes require constant updates, reducing the already limited bandwidth available for data, and possibly never converging to accurately portray the current topology. Instead, a stateless multicast protocol is proposed for the above scenario. This is based on flooding the network with packets of the multicast stream. Adaptive flooding is introduced to enhance multicast reliability in the face of high mobility. http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~kumarv/imahn.html

What's Our National Identity?
by Duncan Frissell 06 Dec '01

06 Dec '01

http://sierratimes.com/archive/files/dec/06/eddf120601.htm What's Our National Identity? By Duncan Frissell 12.06.01 Oracle's Larry Ellison and Harvard's Allen Dershowitz have been all over the media recently pitching a National ID Card. One poll indicates 70% public support for the notion. Most critics of a National Identity Card mention Hitler, police stops, and personal privacy to argue against the proposal. Those are good reasons to oppose a National ID Card, but they miss the idea's worst features. Proponents of a National ID Card have a responsibility to tell us exactly what the system will do to day-to-day life in America. They are unlikely to do so because most thoughtful Americans would be alarmed at the prospect. A National ID card is *not* really about identity. It is about authorization. ... When you present your National ID to complete a transaction, you will actually be asking the Federal Government for its permission. It converts most significant transactions that you make from private ones to public ones. It creates a government license for all jobs, all travel, all medical care, and many purchases. This is a profoundly troubling departure from American traditions. ... DCF ---- "War is Heck!"

RE: Delta airlines doesn't allow sick person to carry their meds
by Trei, Peter 06 Dec '01

06 Dec '01

I've not indulged, but I've heard of this program (my data is several years old). The Feds do have a farm (in kentucky? west virginia?) where a small amount of pot is grown under high security for licensed researchers. IIRC, the marijuana is graded, washed, mixed with tobacco(!?) as a filler, and rolled on standard cigarette machines. The article I read noted that some felt that the differences from a 'real' hand-rolled joint put research done using these standardized doobies into doubt. If Mr. Rosenfeld had put his legal joints into checked luggage, there's a chance that a DEA dog would have narced him out. Though he presumably would not have gotten into trouble, it could be an enormous hassle. What I find curious is that the joints came to Delta's attention at all. Maybe the packaging makes it clear what they are. Anyway, Delta deserves whatever it gets over this.

Reichstag 2001: who's vaccinated against anthrax? hmmm..
by Khoder bin Hakkin 06 Dec '01

>>The FBI has asked laboratories around the country for records of workers vaccinated against anthrax, as investigators pursue a growing suspicion that whoever mailed the anthrax-laden letters in New Jersey must have taken extraordinary steps to avoid dying in the process.<< http://www.ctnow.com/news/yahoo/hc-anthrax1206.artdec06.story Gosh, there's about 150,000 vaccinated, indoctrinated people with CBW training, too. They're called soldiers. The Feds are totally, desparately, impotent, when they start chasing scientists. Hey, maybe they can start on dem sneaky ole *chinese* scientists that they find so appetizing in a Dreyfus kinda way. >>But he cautioned that a combination of skill, antibiotics and luck could have saved the mailer from contracting the disease without having had a vaccination.<< --- Got Horse Blood Agar?
