Day 302: All options are on the table

Decisions... decisions...

Day 301: The Information Center

...otherwise known as OSX's Dashboard.

This is what I'm talking about. As you can see, it's exceptionally hot today, and the rest of the week is going to touch 80 for the highs. That, and everything important I need to know before I begin my morning commute, or plan a trip to Chinatown or wherever.

I never have the time to check these important things individually in the morning, so having a Dashboard overview with the important stuff is a huge boost to productivity.

Google's Language Tools are amazing when it comes to the translation from German to English. When doing the homework I encountered a ridiculous short essay I had no idea what it was about. Copy pasted that crap into the Google Translator and in 30 seconds I knew exactly what the passage meant. Which bring me to a point that must be made: If the Google Translator could instantaneously translate that crap, and I'm able to understand the translated text, what relevance does multilingualism have any more? Answer: Diddly-squat.

Wow. What a surprise there. Time is precious and should not be wasted trying to pick up superfluous nonsense like extra languages when they aren't needed at all for a global technological society to function. In fact, I'll go as far as to argue that a global policy of multilingualism is detrimental to technological progress. Misguided policies like that result in a world that is unable to communicate with each other (let's face it, you're not going to learn every single language in the world), and go figure what that does to technological progress.

Also, had that time wasted learning multiple languages to communicate been instead spent in the workforce, or learning something else like science, it is not hard to imagine how that would result in faster technological progress. It is better to master one language than be a jack of all trades. Ideas need to flow in order for technology to progress. Eloquence cannot be conveyed if linguistic mastery is absent, and technological progress will suffer.

Let's face it: linguistic standardization is what this planet needs for it to become a collective unity of humans. We don't need sectarian grandfalloon divisions that emerge through linguistic barriers. Imagine having the CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, VHS and what not as competing formats that are in use in different places. Now imagine how efficient it'll be to distribute content across all those mediums. No no no no no. It's very clear how the lack of format standardization would hurt the ability for one to distribute content across these disparate mediums.

Likewise, the lack of linguistic standardization hurts the ability for ideas to get across cultures. It's high time this world wakes up to the truth. Diversity is no excuse for outright systemic stupidity. I don't want to have like five separate drives just to be able to watch five different movies that are released on five separate formats, and neither do I want to learn like five separate languages just to be able to communicate with most of the world.

Our global political system, aka The UN, is part of the problem and not the solution. Last I read, they were trying to preserve dying languages. Imagine a consortium trying to preserve the VHS, Betamax, and what not. Formats like Betamax died for a reason, and the same thing can be said about those languages. It seems that the UN has its vehicle stuck in reverse while those of us who advance technology are trying to move forward.

Unbelievable.

Day 300

Day 299: Options

Options... options...

Day 298: Staying The Course

Well, yeah. It's too late to back out now. Almost done with week 1 of German (11% complete), so it's time to stay the course.

Not much to do from here except getting contingency plans into place in order to ensure that this course does not pull down my GPA. Being a 15 credit course, it is extremely dangerous as it can do some serious damage. Going to get the contingency plans sorted out by next week.

Day 297: Sieg Heil

Well, so much for the class that was supposed to be the first I would take at the UW. It's ruining my experience of what is supposed to be the so-called "best" university in the pacific northwest. I strongly disagree with the foreign language policy, mein Führer. Learning this language has absolutely no benefit to me whatsoever.

But the Führers run the institution, so all I can do is the Hitler salute, shout "Sieg Heil!" and grudgingly slog through this stupid course. Trust me when I say it sucks bad -- really bad. Unfortunately, the deadlines were such that I couldn't choose another language that I might actually use and be easier to learn (e.g. Indonesian). So there.

Day 296

Day 295: Uqua, The Ocean God Chantry

UW's Foreign Language Requirement = The academic version of Uqua.

Those who played EverQuest (Gates of Discord) would know exactly what I'm talking about. Uqua is the "hell zone" that you have to attempt and attempt non stop in order to progress further into the game. If you couldn't get through that zone in a raid, you're basically stuck there in the game.

Damn I hate this class. I've never see anything more superfluous or retarded than this. This nonsense is ruining my experience of Academia, just like how Uqua ruined my experience of EverQuest. My views on EverQuest were irreparably changed once I had completed Uqua, and that precedent is not likely to turn out any differently with Academia.

Day 294: White or Black?

Says the title.

Of course it's subjective but the major pro of going white is the fact that fingerprints and scratches won't show up as easily. As to which looks cooler, any suggestions?

18 more days to the 3G iPhone.

Day 293

Day 292

The Seattle Waterfront...

Day 291: Time Calibration

I miss waking up early...

Right. Now that I'm going to the UW, my morning commute is somewhat changed. Instead of a commute measured in yards, the trip from Shoreline to UW is close to 9 miles and coincides with rush hour traffic. Not a good combination. My class starts at 8:30am, so after considering traffic and walking distances, I need to hit the road by 7:30am in order not to be late.

So that means I need to start calibrating my sleep schedule forward starting from today. Not a very entertaining thing to do.

Day 290

Hmm. The departmental application for UW Computer Science & Engineering is opening up this Friday. Better get down to writing the personal statement tomorrow.

Day 289: Chuck Lam: 21 Jul 1988 - 15 Jun 2008

The details are still sketchy but from what I've learned so far, Chuck was killed Sunday morning (15 June 2008) in a single vehicle automobile accident somewhere in Oregon. He was driving alone from Seattle to LA. The last I heard from him was this text message he apparently sent to quite a few people on Friday:

2008/06/13 08:14:37AM
Hey all my friends, have a good vication. I'm on the way to LA now. Ha. See you!

So yeah. That's basically it. He was 19 years old. I've put together a brief photo essay on some of his moments and the things he did here at Shoreline:

17 Sep 2007: Fall '07 Intl. Students Orientation Program

20 Sep 2007: BBQ at Chris'

12 Oct 2008: 12th October Birthday Party

8 Jun 2008: Shoreline CC 44th Commencement

I took all the pictures in this post, with the exception of the last that was taken by Vivian. So there. Stay off the roads if you're planning to travel long distances. You can't escape the fact that you're 40 times more likely to die on the roads than in the air (according to 2003 U.S. statistics). Take the train or fly when ever possible.

And for those drivers out there, this incident couldn't be a stronger reminder about the hazards of the open road. All I can say is: don't become a statistic. Drive safely and avoid risks when ever possible. The laws of probability will always prevail and we need to keep that in mind with whatever we do.

Day 288

Day 287: iCal & Calendar Sync

The art of an image is in every corner...

26 days to the 3G iPhone. 287 + 26 = 313. That means it'll take place on Day 313 -- July 11th. That day so happens to be a Friday so I'll head to the Apple store after my German class ends at 1pm.

Planning all these events and to-do lists are so much easier now that I'm getting more used to iCal. The fact that UW's class calendar exports to iCal makes it a breeze to automatically update my schedule with what I'm doing and when. All these information already syncs to my Samsung SGH-D600, but the lackluster interface on the Samsung makes it impractical to use.

That will all change once I switch over to the 3G iPhone. Once that happens I'll be able to use the iPhone's magic to update my calendar on the fly while I'm out, and that it'll sync later once I dock it at home for recharging.

Day 286: "Professional" Photography

I just received the e-mail from the professional photography agency my school hired to shoot graduation. They are charging nearly $100 for the digital picture should you choose to buy it.

But there's a problem with that; the picture they took was absolutely horrendous. It's basically shot from close up with *direct* flash, and there was no effort made to obscure background details. This is what I'm talking about:

The exposure, lighting, composition (look @ the clock & stuff in the background), and color control are all wrong. Would you pay $100 for an image like that? lol in fact I often delete images like this from my camera right after seeing them. How something so crappy can get passed off as "professional" photography is beyond me.

Plus, it's not like it's difficult to produce good results. Given that they are a professional agency, they could have easily used a Nikon 200mm f/2 VR together with the Nikon D3, and we'll be getting nice creamy out-of-focus backgrounds with perfect lighting. I know this because I photographed last year's graduation with last year's technology (200mm, f/2.8, ISO1600 ceiling [Nikon D200], heavy cropping from far). And I got results like this (only the graduate is in focus, as it should be):

If I could do it with last year's technology, using standard telephoto lenses, there is no reason why professionals selling digital images for $75 a piece can't. Direct flash is a big no-no for professional images; it cheapifies them and kills the lighting.

And the difference isn't just about camera technology. Even the images my friend took w/ my point & shoot (Fujifilm F31fd) looked better (!) that the "professional" image the "professionals" are trying to sell me for $75. Beware of who your school hires to photograph graduation.

Day 285

Day 284: Finals = Done

Day 283: Wood > *

Phi Theta Kappa Graduates

Hmm. Did some semi-major reorganization today after getting that IKEA closet-drawer thing up and running. My room is pretty darn neat now after all the chemicals (automotive, cleaning agents, etc) have been properly organized into that closet drawer. Wood furniture pretty much blows everything else away. Unfortunately, I settled for 3 Wal-Mart plastic cabinets a while ago and they turned out to be inconsistent with the theme of my room.

That's an important lesson that will definitely get carried over to my interior design once I eventually buy a house one day. There will never ever be a plastic cabinet or storage locker in my yet-to-be-built home; everything will be made out of wood. I'm not a fan of metallic furniture either because it makes the atmosphere have a cold feel to it -- not good. Wood, on the other hand, provides a warm feel that is unmatched by anything else.

Wooden floors are great but unfortunately they get damaged too easily, so total-carpeting is a good compromise as is provides reasonable acoustic properties and also comes with a neutral feel to it.

The Right to Withhold Digital Information

The birth of the Internet has completely changed the way information is exchanged. Ideas that took ages to spread throughout the world now do so in mere seconds. This highly efficient medium of nearly instantaneous idea sharing ignited a global proliferation of memes that ushered in the information age.

However, this ease of information sharing and retrieval also came with a dark side. Like-minded individuals with interests in child pornography or terrorism were now empowered to come together and engage in nefarious activities (Friedman). Regardless, the civil liberties of the majority ought to outweigh the potential for abuse at the hands of a few. Hence, as long as a person’s activities do not cause harm to others, they should have the right to securely encrypt and withhold digital information on their computer, because one’s private collection of information is an extension of their own thoughts.

In the past decade, technology has advanced to the point where a single person can now locate, store, and through the means of encryption, prevent others (including law enforcement) from gaining access to it. How this works is surprisingly simple. Modern-day data encryption functions as a one-way process that scrambles information in such a way that the password is the only thing that can decipher the data in a reasonable amount of time. One such software program is PGP, which stands for Pretty Good Privacy. It is not necessary to understand the internal workings of the encryption process for the purposes of this paper.

But suffice to say, PGP is designed such that any unauthorized attempt to decipher encoded data would take so exorbitantly long as to be completely unfeasible. This situation poses a problem for law enforcement agencies: the only practical way to recover encrypted information is through the passphrase, either by trying every single combination, or by obtaining it from the suspect. The former approach rarely leads to success. The latter, however, has legal and moral implications. To begin with, does all information not fall under the umbrella of free speech? Why should some information be outlawed?

A controversial issue that deserves to be examined is the consumption of child pornography. For instance, consider the recent case of In Re Boucher that tests the right to withhold digital information. Boucher, a Canadian resident, was suspected to be in possession of child pornography and was subsequently arrested in the United States and charged under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2252A(a)(1), which could result in him serving up to 20 years of prison time (Nakashima).

However, Boucher had encrypted the contents of his laptop with PGP, and law enforcement had no way to obtain any evidence that could be used to bring charges against him (Nakashima). A grand jury subsequently issued a subpoena requiring him to reveal the password, but it was later overruled on the basis that the Fifth Amendment “protects the contents of [one’s] mind” (In Re Boucher). The Fifth Amendment clearly states that no person “shall be compelled to in any criminal case to be a witness against himself” (Linder).

The glaring problem with this attempted prosecution is that Boucher’s actions (downloading child pornography) did not directly cause harm to anyone. Should the moral impetus not lie with those who create child pornography, rather than those who merely download and/or store it? Consider that, after all, the so called “child pornography” on Boucher’s computer was merely a sequence of zeroes and ones. Is it morally correct to criminalize a sequence of zeroes and ones, particularly when the act of simply downloading it causes no one any harm? Would that not be tantamount to placing restrictions on what a person can or cannot see? Canadian judge Duncan Shaw thought so, and in 1999 he ruled that his country’s child pornography law (that also prohibited possession) was incompatible with freedom of expression ("B.C. Judge: Child-Porn Law Violates Rights").

The subject of child pornography usually stirs up a hornet’s nest because most people tend to be appalled by the idea of children engaging in sexual acts. But what if child pornography could be created such that no children were harmed? Consider content that is generated through computer graphics or art; should that be illegal too?

Looking at the follow-up 2001 Canadian ruling, it seems that the answer is no: the Canadian Supreme Court drew the line at “virtual porn” despite upholding the law that prohibits possession of child pornography involving real children (Farley). That is certainly contradictory, as future computer-generated imagery will reach the point where the real and virtual become indistinguishable. How will they then decide what constitutes “virtual porn” or not?

Nevertheless, these rulings greatly relate to freedom of expression and thought, because the encryption of information on people’s personal computers is a process analogous to storing it in their minds, where it should remain inaccessible. Should people not have the right to freedom of thought? Should people not respect the right of others to have private thoughts, even if they are thoughts they might disagree with (for instance, racism)? By saying that public cannot possess certain private information on their computer, is that not similar to saying that they are not allowed to store the same material in their minds? Are people’s collections of private information not like an extension of their own private thoughts?

If the argument of protecting the masses must hold, the law cannot simply apply double standards to data on a people’s computers versus their minds. If this contradiction is not resolved in favor of the right to privacy, it might slowly lead us down the path to becoming an Orwellian society, because by following the same line of logic, policing information to “protect the public” could easily be extended to cover private thoughts as well.

A far more rational approach for public protection would be to allow all citizens to secure and withhold digital information from anyone. It is far more effective to deal with social ills at their source, rather than their destination. Allocating resources to apprehend and prosecute the consumers of child pornography has no effect on the production of such materials. Conversely, if resources were redirected toward pursuing the manufacturers of child pornography, harm to children will be greatly diminished as the damage occurs at the point of production, and not the point of consumption.

Yet, while child pornography is insidious, it is perhaps less sinister when compared to terrorism, especially when one considers the damage it could bring to societies. Another argument espoused against encryption rights is that terrorists have used it (and are still using it) to plan attacks and cover their tracks. But, consider this: terrorists constitute only a very small number of people that are very resourceful, and will easily find other ways to conceal their activities even if encryption rights were denied to the masses.

Should we all give up our right to secure and withhold digital information just because of the abuses of a small minority? Linda Warren, professor of philosophy at Shoreline Community College, does not think so. In an interview with her, she stressed that it is never appropriate to give up liberties out of fear, and that placing limits on freedom runs counter to America’s tradition of liberty (Warren). On the subject of encryption, reasoning must also take into account that it has been used for good far more often than it has been used for evil.

The same PGP encryption software Boucher allegedly used to conceal child pornography has been hailed by human rights groups operating abroad as a tool that allows them to maintain the confidentiality of their work (Jesdanun; Markoff). The needs of the many ought to outweigh the needs of a few; and hence, the privacy of the masses ought to outweigh the abuses of a few. Linda Warren further adds that potential abuses like child pornography and terrorism “are wrong, but if we legislate on just morality, we will lose liberty.”

In addition, any law that requires people to hand over passwords would only spur the development of increasingly advanced countermeasures to thwart it. Right now, stenography is being combined with encryption technology to hide encrypted data in pictures and even within the free space of hard drives. The idea is that law enforcement cannot force people to decrypt something that they cannot even find. In addition to hiding the material, it is conceivable that dual-function passwords will be developed very soon. This basically means that the entering of one password will result in decryption of the data, while the other would cause the file to self-destruct – permanently erasing the contents and rendering the information irrecoverable.

Another intelligent method that could be used to evade law enforcement would be to simply have two instances of data within the same file that are linked to two different passwords. An individual could hide prohibited materials in one instance, and innocent data in the other; then, if investigated, he or she could just reveal the password that unlocks the instance containing the red herring. The possibilities are endless and it is clear that denying encryption rights to everyone is not going to stop child pornographers or terrorists – they will simply find other ways to carry out their crimes (Warren).

Regardless of the potential for abuse by nefarious individuals, secrecy of communications is a right protected by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which states that “the right of the people to be secure in their [...] papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated” (Linder). In an 1877 judgment upholding this right, the United States Supreme Court ruled that:

No law of Congress can place in the hands of officials […] any authority to invade the secrecy of letters and such sealed packages in the mail; and all regulations adopted as to mail matter of this kind must be in subordination to the great principle embodied in the fourth amendment of the Constitution. (Ex Parte Jackson)

If a man has the right to keep the contents of his letters secret, then it must follow that he also has the right to keep his e-mails secret. Since it has been ruled that the secrecy of communications is an inalienable right, encrypting and withholding digital information would simply be exercising that right. Denying people the right to do so would be tantamount to saying that the Fourth Amendment need not apply.

But of course, encryption, like all technology, is a double-edged sword. It has the potential to be used to perpetuate harm while simultaneously safeguarding the privacy of law-abiding citizens. Such a dual-use potential will only keep on increasing as technology gets more and more advanced. The question is whether or not society at large uses that power to protect the principles enshrined in the Constitution.

There is no in-between when it comes to the right to privacy – history provides incontrovertible proof that allowing exceptions to fundamental rights will only open the door to a swift erosion of civil liberties (Warren). Societies must never use paranoia as a basis to tamper with freedoms, or they risk turning themselves into carbon copies of Nazi Germany. While that might appear like an alarmist suggestion, the possibility of that happening – no matter how slight – should be reason enough not to gamble with freedom.

Day 282: It's Finally Here.

Image from the Apple homepage...

3G.
Built-in Assisted Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS, or A-GPS).

All I can say is wow! Remember those old folk's tales that tell you you should learn how to "read the stars" so you could navigate your way should you happen to get lost in a forest? Well, that's just not going to happen if you happen to have a 3G iPhone. Global Positioning Satellites will pinpoint your location and you can easily plot a course back to civilization. Amazing.

Science fiction aside, GPS will be of great use when it comes to the built in maps application that will allow turn by turn navigation and stuff. I'm not sure how effective or efficient the default Maps application will be, but this is just the beginning. Will it be smart and intuitive enough to replace car GPS navigation systems? Regardless, this is the iPhone 2.0 era with the SDK out there. Should the default Maps application be insufficient for car GPS navigation, the SDK gives third party developers the capability to develop an application that would be just as good as any car GPS system out there.

And remember my perpetual complains about phone calculators being lackadaisical to the point of being retarded? Look at this:


Now, that's what I'm talking about. A real calculator for a change, compete with all the trigonometric functions, logarithms, et al. This is a calculator I will actually use. And of course, the SDK keeps the possibility open that professional calculators applications (that involve simultaneous whole line evaluation and algebraic manipulation) will be developed.

The 3G iPhone is the dawn of a new era. Having (nearly) instantaneous access to information from (almost) anywhere will usher in a new culture similar to the one brought on by the internet and personal computer.

Day 281: The 3G iPhone is here.

Signing the alumni list...

That's right folks; the 3G iPhone has arrived and will be in stores July 11th. While the phones themselves are cheap (8Gb: $200, 16Gb: $300), the AT&T phone pricing plans are not. AT&T's data plan for the 3G iPhone is up $10, so voice + data will equal a "base rate" of $70. But we all know that when it comes to phone companies, base rates equal BS trickery. The actual price per month will be something like $80 per month after all those nickels and dimes get thrown in.

Given that you have to sign a 2 year contract with AT&T when you buy the 3G iPhone, that's an extra $10 * 24 = $240 when compared to the basic 2G plan. The 3G iPhone is obviously subsidized by AT&T, but when you factor in the extra $10/month for the data plan, we're talking $300 (subsidized 16Gb 3G iPhone) + $240 = $540 over the course of 2 years. So in the end you're still paying a similar price for the 3G iPhone. This is definitely a very sly lie concocted by AT&T if you ask me. I don't see why phone and data services should have to cost this much.

Nevertheless, the 3G iPhone is so good that by itself it warrants the price. But I just wish phone companies like AT&T would not resort to such out-and-out lies combined with nickel-and-dime'ing when it comes to paying your bill. $70 per month should mean exactly just that with all taxes and fees included, and not $80 per month after the nickels and dimes.

More updates on the 3G iPhone to come.

Day 280: Shoreline CC, Class of 2008

Right. Associate of Science +1.

Day 279: UW +1

Right. Finally received the reply from the University of Washington and I've got into their general program. All I have left now is to apply for the Computer Science program and get in.

Day 278: Hydroplaning

IKEA...

Experienced hydroplaning twice today while going to IKEA and back. The rains were exceptionally heavy and that caused water to pool up at certain locations. Hydroplaning occurs when the upward force of the pooled water overcomes the weight of a vehicle and causes a momentary loss of control. Wider tires are more susceptible to hydroplaning because they need to displace more water in order to maintain traction with the road.

Other variables that increase the chance of hydroplaning are speed, tire tread design, tread wear, and the depth of pooled water you're driving over. I've never experienced hydroplaning before on my old car (with narrow tires), but then again, I have never driven in conditions as adverse as this before.

The steering of the BMW 330xi is extremely responsive and you instantly know when you are hydroplaning because during the fraction of a second when that occurs, you momentary lose the ability to steer the vehicle (front wheel hydroplaning). On the other hand, rear wheel hydroplaning makes the vehicle feel momentarily "wobbly" and is much harder to know when that happens.

It is also possible for all 4 wheels of a vehicle to hydroplane, rendering the car momentarily uncontrollable. But hydroplaning is easy to predict and you know it could be about to happen as you approach a puddle of water you're about to drive through. Recovery from hydroplaning is straightforward as long you're traveling in a straight line and the puddle is not particularly long. Reducing speed somewhat helps prevent hydroplaning, but I experienced it yesterday at 40mph and 50mph, so it still can occur if the puddle of water is sufficiently deep.

Skilled driving (e.g. slowing down when approaching puddles) and knowledge of this phenomenon are definitely important toward being a safe driver, but it is surprising that such a level of knowledge is not taught in basic driving courses.

Day 277

Spotted on a forum...

Day 276

Day 275

Yay for black and white fun.

YouTube is still being retarded with their lack of high quality / HD video and embedding of videos with such quality. The rest of the world is already HD. What's up with that YouTube?

Day 274

More surrealism...

3G iPhone announcement in 7 days...

Day 273
