Jbook Home Page July 2001 The book provides a high-level description, together with a mathematical and an experimental analysis, of Java and of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), including a standard compiler of Java programs to JVM code and the security critical bytecode verifier component of the JVM. The description is structured into language layers and machine components. It comes with a natural executable refinement (written in AsmGofer and provided on CD-ROM) which can be used for testing code. The method developed for this purpose, using Abstract State Machines (ASMs), can be applied to other virtual machines and to other programming languages as well. The Jbook gives the most comprehensive and consistent formal account of the combination of Java and the JVM .

Attack of the Living Slush Pile by Nick Mamatas March 14 - 20, 2001 he vanity press is an ancient idea, born just one day after the first rejection slip. Under the old model, vanity presses would print a few thousand copies for an exorbitant price, even if the elite of the New York publishing industry considered the book unmarketable. These days, the author of a science fiction novel like 'Alien Armageddon' can buy his way out of the slush pile. for a three-digit fee, he can get his work published through a new print-on-demand outfit like Xlibris oriUniverse, loosing on the world such classic bits as "Having surveyed the whole planetary system, the sphere narrowed quickly on the curious emitter of universal interference. And there it was, sailing knavishly through the blackness of eternity." Print-on-demand houses solicit clients online, then use the latest technology to crank out only enough books to meet existing orders—a run so small the book would sink in the mass market. Sounds good, but the problem is that a lot of these books should sink, because they're poorly written or because their audience is limited to the far-right fringe. Print-on-demand writers rake in whatever they can through selling their books—often by hand and on their lonesome. Not only doesn't Xlibris depend on author sales, the company probably wouldn't survive if it did. As of November, its bestseller had moved only "somewhere between 1000 and 2000 units," says CEO John Feldcamp. Half of all sales go to the "pocket markets" surrounding the author—friends, family, a few bulk sales if the author can arrange a signing or a reading, the occasional classroom placement.

Site Tour Last Updated: August 19, 1996 webmaster@str.org Email Commentary to a Friend Weighing a Chicken With a Yardstick Printer Friendly Version Gregory Koukl Can science disprove the existence of the soul? Here Greg deals with advances in computer science and neurology, and the limitations of science. I received a letter from a listener last week. Some of you might remember the comment that I made about four or five weeks ago that it's impossible for science to prove that there is no soul. This gentleman was a bit bothered because he felt I was speaking in a vacuum, as it were, and I really didn't know what I was talking about, and making a comment like that not only misleads my listeners into having a false sense of confidence about this issue, but also to those who know better it makes me a little bit foolish. The writer goes on to say, "[Adler] goes on a step further and says that if science is ever able to produce a machine that can conceptualize on a conversational level it will prove that the brain is sufficient to explain the mind and therefore do away with the necessity of postulating an immaterial mind." Adler doesn't believe this is possible, but the way to disprove the existence of the mind and therefore undercut the Christian position is to produce a machine that can conceptualize on a conversational level. And if it can do that then it will do what we think it takes a mind to do. That would prove that a mind is not necessary and therefore, by inference, would prove that human minds don't exist and Christianity would be discredited.

Site Tour Last Updated: March 22, 1996 webmaster@str.org Email Commentary to a Friend Capital Punishment: Is Man a Machine or a Moral Agent? Printer Friendly Version Gregory Koukl See how your view of capital punishment says a lot about your view of mankind. I've been looking for an opportunity to comment on an LA Times L.A. Times in mid-January. The writer, Robert Finn, makes this comment: " Times " editors place the continuation of an article on California's upcoming first execution by lethal injection right next to an article on Israeli President Azar Wiseman's visit to a former Nazi death camp near Berlin. Now whether intentional or not, this juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even legal execution is murder, a fact that no amount of technological improvement can mask. Whether the government kills millions of innocent Jews or a single vicious and unrepentant murderer, the death penalty diminishes us all." Signed Robert Finn, Long Beach. This was one of those pieces that stands out for me as an example of a lack of moral clarity an inability to make valuable moral distinctions regarding behavior. Of course, I expect such a thing in a culture that is run through and through with relativistic thinking, and has a view of man that diminishes him to a mere machine. The language of this letter to the editor, the juxtaposition of this article about capital punishment by lethal injection and the other article about Wiseman's visit to a Nazi death camp, equates the two as if they were morally equivalent. He equates the execution of a vicious and unrepentant murderer with the killing of innocent Jews. Apparently, Robert Finn can't distinguish between guilt and innocence, even when it is in his own writing.

Click HERE to buy "Excerpts from the Narcissism List" as an e-book Click HERE to buy "After the Rain - How the West Lost the East" In 1936 an American (Alonzo Church) and a Briton (Alan M. Turing) published independently (as is often the coincidence in science) the basics of a new branch in Mathematics (and logic): computability or recursive functions (later to be developed into Automata Theory). The authors confined themselves to dealing with computations which involved "effective" or "mechanical" methods for finding results (which could also be expressed as solutions (values) to formulae). These methods were so called because they could, in principle, be performed by simple machines (or human-computers or human-calculators, to use Turing's unfortunate phrases). The emphasis was on finiteness: a finite number of instructions, a finite number of symbols in each instruction, a finite number of steps to the result. This is why these methods were usable by humans without the aid of an apparatus (with the exception of pencil and paper as memory aids). Moreover: no insight or ingenuity were allowed to "interfere" or to be part of the solution seeking process.

33. The Mind In The Machine The Mind in the machine Absurdity and Meaning in Cognitive Science by Richard Thisof course does not yet prove that Searle’s conclusion is necessarily wrong http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/rhodges/html/MindInMachine.html

The Mind in the Machine: Absurdity and Meaning in Cognitive Science by Richard Hodges Frosty the Snowman Is a fairytale they say He was made of snow But the children know How he came to life one day -Christmas song Absurdity Could a computer ever be conscious? There are noisy arguments on both sides of this question, arguments that usually seem absurd, driven by preconceived ideological commitments rather than by critical thinking. The common-sense position is that people are in fact conscious and that their awareness of their own consciousness and their belief in it is valid, but that no existing computer or program is conscious. Assuming a common-sense definition of “consciousness,” this is undoubtedly a true statement. But there is a school of thought that would go beyond common sense to add that it is absurd to attribute consciousness to a computer no matter how sophisticated its construction or behavior. Consciousness cannot arise from an unconscious material object, this argument maintains. There is a group of writers who work various versions of this argument. Searle’s “Chinese Room” is an influential example of the genre. Searle is a very important contemporary philosopher of mind, with wide-ranging and deep if somewhat tendentious critical analysis of many of the loose ideas about mind that are bandied about these days (see for example his book The Rediscovery of the Mind: Representation and Mind ), but he is most famous for this “Chinese Room” thought experiment. Searle asks us to suppose we have a computer program that can translate Chinese as well as a human translator. A claim could be made that the computer consciously “understood” a sentence that it was translating. But Searle asks us to imagine that instead of an electronic computer, we had a roomful of non-Chinese speaking people each carrying out different steps of the program. The room could then translate Chinese just like the computer could. But then, is it possible to say that the room “understands” Chinese? Certainly none of the people in the room understands Chinese as a result of carrying out any kind of computer-like instructions, and Searle asserts that it is therefore absurd to say that the room understands Chinese.

Davies, Department of Law, Universit Category Computers Security Biometrics Resources......How biometric technology will fuse flesh and machine. Many systems do not live upto expectations because they prove unable to cope with the enormous variations http://www.privacy.org/pi/reports/biometric.html

TOUCHING BIG BROTHER How biometric technology will fuse flesh and machine Simon G. Davies Department of Law University Of Essex United Kingdom Simon@privint.demon.co.uk Vol 7, No. 4 1994 Abstract The evolution of information technology is likely to result in intimate interdependence between humans and technology. This fusion has been characterized in popular science fiction as chip implantation. It is, however, more likely to take the form of biometric identification using such technologies as fingerprints, hand geometry and retina scanning. Some applications of biometric identification technology are now cost-effective, reliable, and highly accurate. As a result, biometric systems are being developed in many countries for such purposes as social security entitlement, payments, immigration control and election management. Whether or not biometry delivers on its promise of high-quality identification, it will imperil individual autonomy. Widespread application of the technologies would conflict with contemporary values, and result in a class of outcasts. INTRODUCTION The accurate identification of individuals is a key concern for many government agencies and corporations. It is important to them because it contributes significantly to administrative efficiency and the control of fraud, and can offer benefits to clients as well. A key focus of information systems security in recent years has been the intensification of efforts to establish accurate identity.

35. NewStandard: 4/14/97 machinetool orders prove economic health. By The Associated Press NEWYORK Orders for American-made machine tools surged in February http://www.s-t.com/daily/04-97/04-14-97/a06bu039.htm

For the best in local lodging Machine-tool orders prove economic health By The Associated Press NEW YORK Orders for American-made machine tools surged in February compared with a year earlier and reflected strong demand from domestic manufacturers, said a monthly trade report released yesterday. It estimated domestic orders totaled $562 million, up 22 percent from $461 million in February 1996. For the first two months of the year, it estimated orders totaled $1.145 billion, up 13 percent from the year earlier. The report was compiled by a joint venture of The Association for Manufacturing Technology and the American Machine Tool Distributors' Association, both based in suburban Washington. About 70 percent of the nation's machine-tool makers report their orders data to the two trade groups and they derive their estimates of the totals from that information. Rising demand for machine tools coincides with other evidence that the U.S. economy is enjoying robust growth, marked by expansions of manufacturing, rising incomes, healthy consumer spending and low unemployment. The machine tool orders report isn't seasonally adjusted and can fluctuate sharply from month to month. But it can be a useful barometer of the manufacturing industry's long-term confidence in the economy.

Turing graduated from Cambridge in Mathematics in 1934, and was a fellow at Kings for two years, during which he wrote his now famous paper published in 1937, On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem . In it, he proposed a machine that could move from one state to another by following a rigorous set of rules. From this he was able to show the existence of uncomputable functions. For example, no program can determine if any arbitrary program will terminate. This led to a computing scheme that foreshadowed the logic of digital computers Consistency, Completeness, and Computability
