Our thread on this movie generated 3,000 messages.

The movie will be on TCM (Turner classic movies) tonight, 10:30 pm EST
(confirm with local listings.)

This movie, about a CIA literature researcher on the run, is
excellent. Interesting uses of technology as used in the 1970s.

in the early 80s there was work on collusion countermeasures ... aka
multi-party operations were countermeasure to insider fraud ... which
was being counterred by insider collusion.

since then insiders have continued to be the major source of problems,
but there has been a lot of distraction in popular news regarding
internet.

collusion countermeausres, etc:

apparently it is not just the internet infrastructure that is fraying
... maintenance and investment has been neglated in many areas that are
falling into disrepair ... transportation, ports, power, etc

"There is neither the money nor the political will to build another
interstate highway system," Moorman said. "It doesn't seem like there is
the money or the will to keep the one we have got in good repair, let
alone add any substantial amount of capacity to the highway system."

To those who do not drop in to alt.folklore.urban, there was a message
there recently that make one believe in the presence of hope in
every individual.. The poster had received a message in the
obligatary capitals. It went some way like

"The Nigerian Government intends to compensate people who have been
swindled by the Nigerian scam, and to avail of this compensation,
send details to "

The full message can be seen in A.F.U.

Banks failing to manage IT risk - study
http://www.finextra.com/fullstory.asp?id=18159

from above:

A separate study from Datamonitor released earlier this year suggests
that the sub-prime crisis will spur banks to increase spending on
operational risk technology from $754 million in 2007 to over $1 billion
in 2010 - an average annual increase of almost 12%%.

in Bernanke's testimony this morning ... they asked why Federal Reserve
wasn't able to prevent financial institutions getting all bolixed up in
the toxic CDO crisis ... as well as why didn't Basel II help ... a
little wiki basel II drift:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_II

excuse given for Basel II not helping, was that it relied on numbers
from the securities/bond/cdo rating institutions

recent reference to somebody recommending Chinese financial funds based on
better "governance" allowed them to avoid most of the toxic CDO mess:

prior to 3081 ... 360 & 370 two-processor SMP were actually two
independent processor complexes ... with provisions to coordinate memory
as one set ... but could also be split and run as two independent
processor complexes.

3081 was referred to as "dyadic" ... since the two processors were built
into the same box and no longer possible to split into two separate,
independent processor complexes. 3084 was two independent 3081s tied
together to operate as 4-way smp (but could be split apart and operate
as two independent 3081s).

for a little x-over from this thread:

I know for the PDP-1 the infamous game Spacewar was created at MIT by
Slug Russell and other MIT hackers in the 1960's and I also am aware
that there were some Chess programs worked on as well but I was
wondering if there were any other games the old PDP hackers created
and if so are there any sites with information or screen shots?

Thank you

three people from the science center
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

came out the last week of jan68 to install cp67 (predecessor to vm370
that ran on 360/67) at the univ. at the time, cp67 only supported 1052
and 2741 terminals. the univ. was getting some ksr-33 terminals and so i
had to add ascii/tty support to cp67.

2702 supported SAD command that allowed terminal line-scanner to be
associated with specific ports under program control. the science center
had done support to dynamically determine whether it was dealing with
either a 1052 or 2741 ... and use the SAD command to associate with the
different ports as appropriate.
