Moving Sensor Data Onto The Internet With SensorML
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/01/0413226
[0]Roland Piquepaille writes "According to this [1]Sensors article, a
new XML encoding scheme may make it possible for you to remotely
discover, access, and use real-time data obtained directly from
Web-resident sensors, instruments, and imaging devices. By describing
sensors using SensorML, anyone can put sensors or sensor data online
for others to find and use. And because it's XML-based, it means all
this data will easily be searchable. "For example, searching for
particular kinds of sensors and data in a particular geographic region,
with data collected within a particular time window, will be easy. This
has significance for science, environmental monitoring, transportation
management, public safety, disaster management, utilities operations,
industrial controls, facilities management, and many other activities."
In [2]this column, you'll find a summary of the Sensors' story which
contains more technical details about the technology. And if you're
really interested, please visit the [3]SensorML homepage."

Anonymous Howard writes "[0]This article talks about Sony's new,
limited production [0]Vaio GT3/K. It's a mixture of laptop and full
fledged camcorder that uses the Transmeta 600mhz Crusuoe chip. Weighing
in at 2.4 lbs, this hybrid has an amazing battery life of up to 17
hours, 30 GB drive, ATI Rage Mobility-M1 and 128 MB of RAM, and a
swiveling screen. This is definately a very unique device, one that
completely blows away Sony's previous attempts of the laptop/video
combination machines, mainly due the fact that the video camera is not
a wimpy little video lense, but an actual full fledged digital
camcorder."

image that can change through the use of digital projection. In this

SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/30/2116207
[0]mpthompson writes "Aspects of the SBC patent shakedown were covered
[1]previously on SlashDot, but the following [2]article has more
details including the royalty fee schedules on the two patents that SBC
is seeking to enforce against web sites that utilize frames in their
design. In short, SBC has asserted that it is the exclusive owner of a
technology for "structured document" browsing - the use of frames to
provide hyperlinks to documents displayed by a browser. Apparently the
strategy by SBC is to set precedent against small web sites that will
presumably capitulate before going after the big guys. Based on the fee
schedule, SBC seems to be pretty serious about this whole patent thing
and may not go away so easily."

Starting an After-School Computer Club?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/30/0550204
Kai_MH asks: "When I moved up to my high school this year (I'm a Sophomore), I was surprised to find that there was no 'computer' or 'technology' club at the school. Sure, there's A/V, but what fun is carrying TV sets around? So, I'd like to approach my school's administration about starting an after-school computer club. I'd like to educate my peers on the alternatives to Windows (Linux and Open Source), how hardware works and fits together, job offerings in computer-related fields, and anything else that may be of interest. Perhaps we can do fund-raisers to build and upgrade a computer for the club, which could be donated to the school or community? Does anyone have suggestions on this? Has anyone tried this before? I've had a lot of support from my peers, but I'm still not quite sure how to go about it."
