After struggling with Natty's multiple monitor support last week, I thought I'd test my luck again and try rotating screens. My current favorite monitor is the Dell P2411H, a sturdy little 24" monitor that has more degrees of freedom than you'd imagine possible. One of these degrees is the monitor's ability to rotate 90 degrees,
Have you been infuriated by Natty Narwhal's poor/broken support for multiple monitors (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6)? Do you believe that your CPU or GPU cycles should be used to actually do stuff, instead of making a window wobble and speeding the approach of thermodynamic equilibrium? Do you hate Unity anyway? Did you buy dual GTS
I've uploaded the slides for my talk today at the University of Houston Computational Law Conference. The purpose of the talk, in my own words, is: ... [to] present the set of frames through which I view the relationship between law and computation: "law as computation," "computation on law," and "law and computation." By distinguishing
Later this month, I'll be giving a keynote at a meeting on Law and Computation at the University of Houston. As part of the talk, I'm putting together an example of how I think machine learning and structured data can help build a better legal search engine. For the talk, I'll be building a subset
The chart says it all, with nuclear winning by two orders of magnitude (via ManyEyes).
Oops. Looks like the #anon member in charge of developing the BoA leak site may have outed himself through the Facebook App ID. Pull up the source from bankofamericasuck.com and you'll find this: <script> window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({appId: '174193262621648', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true}); }; (function()
You may have heard about the recently leaked presentation on combating Wikileaks that was produced by employees of HBGary Federal, Palantir Tech, and Berico Tech. You may have also heard that Anonymous retaliated against HB Gary Federal for threatening to release their identities. I thought it would be interesting to run some analysis of the email networks
What do 88,831 tweets about protest and revolution in Iran look like? Following in the success of Egypt's #jan25 tag, protesters have piled onto the #25bahman tag to discuss Iran's own prospects for "revolution" (25 Bahman 1389 is the Hijri date for February 14, 2011). Curious to analyze and compare these movements, I've started collecting
I've been watching the #feb12 tweets on the movements in Algeria and Yemen. One of the most common types of tweets explains how to avoid the current censorship of Twitter, Facebook, and Google by directly entering IPs. This got me thinking - while it may be fairly easy to memorize and disseminate IPv4 addresses, what
Algeria and Yemen seem to be pushing a #feb12 revolution hashtag like Egypt's #jan25 tag. In the Egyptian case, the French abbreviation of January didn't vary from the English, and so we really only saw two varieties of the tag - #jan25 and #25jan. I don't have hard numbers on this yet, but from my
