the plot to blow up trans-Atlantic planes had been
"unprecedented". Officials haven't said if it involved
data mining, but experts say that data mining can be a
valuable tool in the war on terror if it is applied
properly. The question is: Is it?

The
Future of Computing,
 "Penn
State computer science professor Max
Fomitchev explains that
computing has evolved in a spiral
pattern from a centralized model to
a distributed model that retains some
aspects of centralized computing.
Single-task PC operating systems (OSes)
evolved into multitasking OSes to make
the most of increasing CPU power, and
the introduction of the graphical user
interface at the same time reduced CPU
performance and fueled demands for even
more efficiencies. "The role of CPU
performance is definitely waning, and if
a radical new technology fails to
materialize quickly we will be compelled
to write more efficient code for power
consumption costs and reasons,"
Fomitchev writes.

They
are FREE ! --
Obviously, the pressure many among us have
been putting on the Chadian regime has
paid off. In fact, today, the four journalists imprisoned in Chad have been
freed. Michael Didama, Koumbo Singa Gali, Garonde Djarma and
Samory Ngaradoumbe are out of jail. This is victory for all the
freedom fighters. Unfortunately, according to other sources, another
journalist has been arrested in Moissala, South Chad today. So, the
victory is bitter sweet because the struggle for a freedom of
press in Chad has just begun and we must remain vigilant. Thanks to all those who
have supported this cause. Our
thanks go out
RSF
and
CPJ.
Shame on those who have minimized the sense of our mobilization
to get those men and women out of jail. They sat back, watch,
had a big mouth and that's all they know. At
