Hugh Pickens writes In the first such system deployed in the country, police vehicles in Ponca City, Oklahoma will have wireless video cameras installed so precinct dispatchers and supervisors can monitor activities during traffic stops in real time, and quickly deploy additional officers and resources if necessary. The system to provide an added level of monitoring and protection for its force is part of a broadband mesh network comprised of more than 490 wireless nodes and gateways connected to 120 miles of fiber backbone that will provide coverage for approximately 30 square miles of the city. The network will provide field communications for city services including police, fire and emergency, parks and recreation, public works and energy, but will also be used to provide free wireless internet access for all residents of the city. The testing of this network showed that it was robust enough to handle not only municipal traffic, but also citizens traffic. said Mayor Homer Nicholson. So the Ponca City Board of Commissioners voted to allow the extra internet access to be given to the citizens of Ponca City for free. The second phase of the project will expand the network and wireless coverage to more than 430 square miles surrounding the city with an estimated annual cost savings of over $1 million for city residents, who can discontinue their existing internet service. Our goal is to be one of the most mobile communities in America, and this is a significant step in that direction, said Nicholson.pa href=http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/22/1514250amp;from=rssimg src=http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=08/11/22/1514250 //a/ppa href=http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/22/1514250amp;from=rssRead more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href=http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/Ak8mc25c6uxxNtafmmL4SYzJw5w/aimg src=http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/Ak8mc25c6uxxNtafmmL4SYzJw5w/i border=0 ismap=true //a/pimg src=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/etD8AIwJYHM height=1 width=1 /

According to TorrentFreak, The Dark Knight was the most pirated movie of 2008. Ummm, hooray? Somehow I doubt Warner Bros. will include that stat on the DVD packaging. The movie’s been on and off the list of top BitTorrented films throughout the summer as people took video camera footage of the film in theaters or ripped it from screeners.

Over at TV by the Numbers‘ breakdown of the most DVRed broadcast TV shows, McDreamy and crew still dominate the list with 4.089 million viewers via DVRs for the week of Oct. 17-Nov. 2. As TVbtN points out, Obama’s infomercial ran during this week but does not appear on this list because of missing data.

It looks like High School Musical clips helped propel John4210 to the top spot on Video Breakouts’ Cool 100 list, followed closely by Chinese TV programming from New Tang Dynasty TV.

James White

Here is the video from the Unbelievable Radio program with Justin Brierley on the Premier Radio Network in the UK (http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable). Abdullah al-Andalusi (Abdullah from London, as I referred to him before, or, Mujtahid2006, by his YouTube moniker) and I did the program, Justin Brierley hosted. You can see my little video camera down in the bottom of the screen to the left, but this is a better view since Yahya Seymour had a better angle. Well, sort of a better angle. The lights cast a shadow across my eyes, making me look wonderfully evil. Or wonderfully tired. Or both. In any case, my video cut Abdullah in half, and the audio did not sync up with the video, so I'm grabbing Abdullah's video and putting the Unbelievable URL across it. So here you go, the radio discussion from London from Thursday, 11/13/08.

Now, I was looking at some of the comments left by Muslims on this video on Abdullah's version. These are so bad, so...incoherent, they really speak for themselves. Someone named mustafagtgt wrote some doozies:
According to Mr. White, God was seized of his knowledge, seized of his power, seized of his independence, seized of his sovereignty and seized in essence became Godless! If a Christian first ponders on the implications of God becoming a human then it will be evident enough that God seized to become God.
Did you guys notice how Mr. White tried to avoid the entire dilemma of the Trinity by attacking Islam and the Quran? James White and other Christian apologetics are hypocrites. David (the guy who wears glasses) is another example.
James white has a big ego because after these debates he always makes his own little rebbutle videos and then posts them on Youtube.Then we have this insight from tolerancelastic:
notice how James White keeps throwing in words such as "essence", "nature", "person" etc. this is a clever strategy. he thinks his point is proved just because he phrases his statements using certain words. but when you examine carefully, it just doesn't stand to logic.

i mean, James White says that Jesus was fully God and fully man. and he expects us to believe in that nonsense! lol well, i say James White is fully human and fully monkey.And finally, this classic from stingray2525:
no brother, you are wrong! you have given too much credit to james white.

a monkey can spend his whole life, grow old and die with the assurance of having hair on his head, while james can only give that assurance to others to not cause any accidents to people who might get blinded by the reflection of the light bouncing from his shiny head

sorry james, just thought you should know it is unfair for the monkey to be put on the same plate with you.   Further evidence of my assertion that comboxes should be called IIAs....Internet Ignorance Aggregators.

When we posted a hands-on review of the new Buddha Box 2 yesterday, we noted that something would inevitably lost in the translation. You see, it's just really tough to convey the magic of the player in a couple paragraphs. Fortunately, there always seems to be a video camera nearby.
