Under30CEO - Developing, Inspiring and Leading Young Entrepreneu Govt unveils a Wikipedia for spies - Secu WASHINGTON — The U.S. intelligence community Tuesday unveiled its own secretive version of Wikipedia, saying the popular online encyclopedia format known for its openness is key to the future of American espionage. The office of U.S. intelligence czar John Negroponte announced Intellipedia, which allows intelligence analysts and other officials to collaboratively add and edit content on the government's classified Intelink Web much like its more famous namesake on the World Wide Web. A "top secret" Intellipedia system, currently available to the 16 agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community, has grown to more than 28,000 pages and 3,600 registered users since its introduction on April 17. Less restrictive versions exist for "secret" and "sensitive but unclassified" material. The system is also available to the Transportation Security Administration and national laboratories.

gt;> qmHandle - A queue management tool for QMail Throughout my work as a sysadmin, managing qmail's queue seemed to be something that I often found myself doing, like, for instance when a server becomes deluged in spam from a Joe-job. At work we generally use qmHandle, an excellent piece of software. It, however, doesn't have quite all of the functions that we required, so I modifed qmHandle to give the -tX "string" and -M options that are seen below. qmHandle is licensed under the GPL. (See the documentation included in the tarball for more details). As requested, I've updated the patch and applied it to version 1.2.0, appended a release tag of 'bovine', and updated the included documentation to reflect that it is a patched version. Here's the usage (obtained by running w/o any args): Download the patched qmHandle: Comments:
10 Ways To Make Your Site Accessible Using Web Standards | How-To | Smashing Magazine Without argument, one of the most important things to consider when creating a website is that it be accessible to everyone who wants to view it.

cl1p.net The internet clipboard Research Program in the Psychology of Ecological and NonLudic Uncertainty The Psychology of Ecological and Nonludic Uncertainty We make the distinction between "ecological" uncertainty, i.e., the type of uncertainty we witness in the real world, and the "ludic" randomness, the one in games and in laboratory setups. A series of experiments should reveal a variety of errors people make while dealing with the perception of unknowns, particularly the nature of non-textbook and high-impact uncertainty. Our experiments are not aimed at general theorizing. Research program 1) Telescope blindness and decision making [IN PROGRESS]. What causes severe mistakes is that, outside the special cases of casinos and lotteries, you almost never face a single probability with a single (and known) payoff. 2) General intuition and between natural and nonnatural domains [IN PROGRESS]. 3) Errors of periodicity. 4) Skepticism and domain dependence. 5) Confusion between norms L1 and L2, Part 1- Expert problem among professionals talking about volatility [COMPLETED].
Universal Plug and Play Forum The Borg lives: BBN gets $30 million for artificial intelligence Developing a an artificial intelligence system that can read, learn and develop knowledge about all manner of digital material in a quick, cost effective way sounds like a bit of a pipe dream. But those are some of the lofty items that are now on BBN Technology's plate as the firm this week got $29.7 million from the Air Force to develop a prototype machine reading system that transforms prose into knowledge that can be interpreted by an artificial intelligence application. The prototype is part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Machine Reading Program (MRP) that wants to develop systems that can capture knowledge from naturally occurring text and transform it into the formal representations used by AI reasoning systems. As digitized text from library books world wide becomes available, new avenues of cultural awareness and historical research will be enabled. "Strength is irrelevant, resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves.
TWiki - Enterprise Collaboration Platform Developing Intelligence : Caffeine: A User's Guide to Getting Optimally Wired IBM gets $16 million to bolster its brain-on-a-chip technology Network World - The quest to mimic the best parts of human brain function on a highly intelligent computer to decypher tons of data quickly is heating up. IBM this week got $16.1 million to kick up its part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency research program aimed at rapidly and efficiently put brain-like senses into actual hardware and software so that computers can process and understand data more rapidly. IBM has now gotten $21 million to work on the program known as Systems of neuromorphic adaptive plastic scalable electronics (SyNAPSE) which includes researchers from HRL Laboratories, which got $16.2 million in Oct. 2008, and others such as HP. DARPA's Top 10 wicked cool high-tech aviation systems According to DARPA, the SyNAPSE program will create useful, intelligent machines.
