OBLIQUE OPTICS: SEEING THE QUEERNESS OF EC-STATIC IMAGES by KRISTOPHER L. CANNON Under the Direction of Alessandra Raengo ABSTRACT Oblique Optics contends that studies of visual culture must account for the queerness of images. This argument posits images as queer residents within visual culture by asking how and where the queerness of images becomes visible. These questions are interrogated by utilizing queer theories and methods to refigure how the image is conceptualized within traditional approaches to visual culture studies and media studies. Each chapter offers different approaches to see the queerness of images by torquing our vision to see "obliquely," whereby images are located beyond visible surfaces (like pictures or photographs) through ec-static movements within thresholds between bodies and beings. Chapter One rethinks how images are conceptualized through metaphorical language by exploring how images emerge from fantasies about will-be-born bodies in fetal photographs. -
Introduction Making and Hacking
Introduction Making and Hacking Annika Richterich and Karin Wenz “While hacking is a wonderful way of viewing the world, ‘making’ was a more positive framing for customizing and changing the world.” (DOUGHERTY 2014) In August 2014, hackerspaces in the Netherlands issued an open letter to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (PPS): in this document, members of hacker communi- ties from Amsterdam, Heerlen, Utrecht and other cities called upon the govern- mental institution to revise the definition of ‘hacking’ as presented on its website (Walboer et al. 2014). While the PPS described it as “breaking into computers without permission”, the hackerspace members highlighted that hacking refers to citizens’ creative engagement with technologies. Opposing the reduction of hacking to illegal activities, they described hacking as exploration of technological possibilities and boundaries in unforeseen, innovative ways. Even though this particular initiative was started in the Netherlands, the letter echoes wider, historical as well as ongoing negotiations regarding the meanings and origins of hacking. It seems closely related to earlier requests such as an open letter to the Wall Street Journal which was written more than 20 years ago by Richard Stallman (presumably). In this letter, the founder of the Free Software Foundation states: There’s nothing shameful about the hacking I do. But when I tell people I am a hacker, people think I’m admitting something naughty – because newspapers such as yours misuse the word ‘hacker’, giving the impression that it means ‘security breaker’ and nothing else. You are giving hackers a bad name. (Raymond 1996: 532) While one cannot find any explicit reference to this letter on Stallman’s own website, similar statements were made in his article ‘On Hacking’ (n. -

Video Scrambling for Privacy Protection in Video Surveillance – Recent Results and Validation Framework Frederic Dufaux Laboratoire de Traitement et Communication de l’Information – UMR 5141 CNRS Télécom ParisTech F-75634 Paris Cedex 13, France [email protected] ABSTRACT The issue of privacy in video surveillance has drawn a lot of interest lately. However, thorough performance analysis and validation is still lacking, especially regarding the fulfillment of privacy-related requirements. In this paper, we first review recent Privacy Enabling Technologies (PET). Next, we discuss pertinent evaluation criteria for effective privacy protection. We then put forward a framework to assess the capacity of PET solutions to hide distinguishing facial information and to conceal identity. -
A User-Selectable Obscuration Framework to Censor Digital Videos for Children and Adolescents
A User-selectable Obscuration Framework to Censor Digital Videos for Children and Adolescents Jiayan GUO, David LEONG, Jonathan SIANG, and Vikram BAHL School of Infocomm, Republic Polytechnic, Singapore ABSTRACT storyline of the film. Such harmful content is still accessible to the viewers. The children thus are exposed to There is an increasing concern from parents, educators a vast amount of inappropriate media content. and policy-makers about the negative influence that digital media exerts on children and adolescents. Such According to the Singapore Censorship Review concerns have fueled a growing need to effectively filter Committee 2010 report [2], parents are encouraged to take potentially harmful content. However, existing responsibility to protect their children against the negative technologies have limited ability in allowing users to aspects of media proliferation. In order to guide their adjust the filtering levels, or generating seamless cutting children on digital media consumption, parents have to be results. To tackle this limitation, we propose a framework empowered with effective tools to filter sex, violence and which empowers parents and teachers to censor movies profanity out of the digital media. However, existing tools and TV shows according to their level of acumen and have limited capabilities to effectively block potentially discretion. Such framework helps parents and teachers harmful content. Presently, ClearPlay and MovieMask are protect children and adolescents against obscene content. the two forefront computer programs that cleanse movies In particular, our framework enables parents and teachers containing offensive scenes. Their technologies are built to sanitize movies and TV shows by skipping over onto stand-alone DVD players and other video devices. -

A computer structure was proposed for the Navier-Stokes Solver (NSS), now called the Flow Model Processor (FMP), along with technological and system approaches. Before such a system can enter an intensive design investigation phase several tasks must be accomplished to establish uniformity and control over the remaining design steps, as well as clarifying and amplifying certain portions of the conclusions drawn in Phase 1. In order of priority these were seen as: 1. Establishing a structure and format for documenting the design and implementation of the FMP facility. 2. Developing 'a complete, practically engineered design that would perform as claimed in the Phase 1 report. 3. Creating a design verification tool for NASA analysts, using a computerized simulation system. -

Pirate Or Hackers Bible More Like Guidelines...= a = Abbrev: /*-Breev
Pirate or Hackers Bible More like guidelines.... = A = abbrev: /*-breev'/, /*-brev'/ n. Common abbreviation for `abbreviation'. ABEND: [ABnormal END] /ah'bend/, /*-bend'/ n. Abnormal termination (of software); {crash}; {lossage}. Derives from an error message on the IBM 360; used jokingly by hackers but seriously mainly by {code grinder}s. Usually capitalized, but may appear as `abend'. Hackers will try to persuade you that ABEND is called `abend' because it is what system operators do to the machine late on Friday when they want to call it a day, and hence is from the German `Abend' = `Evening'. accumulator: n. 1. Archaic term for a register. On-line use of it as a synonym for `register' is a fairly reliable indication that the user has been around for quite a while and/or that the architecture under discussion is quite old. The term in full is almost never used of microprocessor registers, for example, though symbolic names for arithmetic registers beginning in `A' derive from historical use of the term `accumulator' (and not, actually, from `arithmetic'). Confusingly, though, an `A' register name prefix may also stand for `address', as for example on the Motorola 680x0 family. 2. A register being used for arithmetic or logic (as opposed to addressing or a loop index), especially one being used to accumulate a sum or count of many items. This use is in context of a particular routine or stretch of code. "The FOOBAZ routine uses A3 as an accumulator." 3. One's in-basket (esp. among old-timers who might use sense 1). "You want this reviewed? Sure, just put it in the accumulator." (See {stack}.) ACK: /ak/ interj. -

This equipment is running continuous checks on all spacecraft systems, monitoring the loading of propellants and parameter trends, and performing check routines with the CMC, LGC, and LVDC, which are the computers situated in the CSM, LM, and SIVB 3rd stage of the launch vehicle. Some of A C E !s results are sent via high speed lines to Mission Control Center (MCC) at Houston, where they are processed and formatted for display by the IBM 360 computers which form the RTCC (Realtime Telemetry and Command Complex). The RTCC in turn is being used by the mission flight controllers to generate test digital command requests for transmission to the spacecraft via the Merritt Island tracking station situated at the Cape. r*\ The rest of the tracking network (l4 stations and one ship) is also being checked out by computers at MCC and Goddard Space Plight Center (GSFC) with a standard series of performance tests known as CADPISS (Computation and Data Plow Integrated Subsystems). These computers instruct the sites to perform tracking, telemetry processing, and command functions, monitor the outputs against pre-programmed standards, and inform the sites of the results. -
Jargon File, Version 4.0.0, 24 Jul 1996
JARGON FILE, VERSION 4.0.0, 24 JUL 1996 This is the Jargon File, a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor. This document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely used, shared, and modified. There are (by intention) no legal restraints on what you can do with it, but there are traditions about its proper use to which many hackers are quite strongly attached. Please extend the courtesy of proper citation when you quote the File, ideally with a version number, as it will change and grow over time. (Examples of appropriate citation form: "Jargon File 4.0.0" or "The on-line hacker Jargon File, version 4.0.0, 24 JUL 1996".) The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture. Over the years a number of individuals have volunteered considerable time to maintaining the File and been recognized by the net at large as editors of it. Editorial responsibilities include: to collate contributions and suggestions from others; to seek out corroborating information; to cross-reference related entries; to keep the file in a consistent format; and to announce and distribute updated versions periodically. Current volunteer editors include: Eric Raymond [email protected] Although there is no requirement that you do so, it is considered good form to check with an editor before quoting the File in a published work or commercial product. We may have additional information that would be helpful to you and can assist you in framing your quote to reflect not only the letter of the File but its spirit as well. -

NOTICE: SLIP OPINION (not the court’s final written decision) The opinion that begins on the next page is a slip opinion. Slip opinions are the written opinions that are originally filed by the court. A slip opinion is not necessarily the court’s final written decision. Slip opinions can be changed by subsequent court orders. For example, a court may issue an order making substantive changes to a slip opinion or publishing for precedential purposes a previously “unpublished” opinion. Additionally, nonsubstantive edits (for style, grammar, citation, format, punctuation, etc.) are made before the opinions that have precedential value are published in the official reports of court decisions: the Washington Reports 2d and the Washington Appellate Reports. An opinion in the official reports replaces the slip opinion as the official opinion of the court. The slip opinion that begins on the next page is for a published opinion, and it has since been revised for publication in the printed official reports. The official text of the court’s opinion is found in the advance sheets and the bound volumes of the official reports. Also, an electronic version (intended to mirror the language found in the official reports) of the revised opinion can be found, free of charge, at this website: https://www.lexisnexis.com/clients/wareports.
