9/6/2007 9:17:37 PM

^so you can't identify the people.

9/6/2007 9:46:08 PM

So what was all that bullshit about security on campus when you can't ID the rapist?

9/6/2007 11:55:53 PM

freaks

9/10/2007 12:19:32 PM

is it not up right now on the site, or taken down for good? The camera is still in the library, I'm looking at it now. but nothing on the website.

9/10/2007 12:22:47 PM

new link, has a view limit now...

should reduce the creepy factor, tho, it is probably better that everyone looks rather than just a few pervs in a dark damp place violating their hands

9/10/2007 12:24:28 PM

in today's paper in viewpoint section, there is an article about it. The writer says, about who can view the cam:

Quote :

"everyone-- prospective student or pedophile..."

um, I found this odd considering the lack of children in the library.

9/10/2007 12:39:10 PM

new link?

9/10/2007 12:49:34 PM

9/10/2007 1:21:01 PM

9/10/2007 1:25:04 PM

Haha, you freaks ruined it for everyone. Hell, I'm even a little scared of you people.

Not sure is anyone else saw this flamer:

Cameras need to be rethought


Warren Hynson

(Warren is a freshman majoring in religious studies.) ~

The first sentence in a news article in Tuesday's Technician ["Live feed monitors patrons," Anne Rudisill] read: "Students working in the new learning commons area in the east wing of D.H. Hill Library are being watched from above."

I believe that's a rather ominous idea for students to embrace when simply going to the library for what it is intended to be -- a haven for rest, relaxation, socialization, and most importantly, study.

A couple of weeks ago that statement might have been interpreted in a religious or some strange extraterrestrial light, but now it's more of a certainty than those two possibilities.

We are being taped by cameras from above that are potentially watched worldwide. Students going to study in the East Wing of the library already suffer from the pressures of attempting to study amidst a distracting room complete with bright swivel chairs, socializing colleagues and live "Guitar Hero" concerts.

But now students not only have to deal with the aforementioned pressures, but they must also worry about the fact that their every action is being broadcasted live on the World Wide Web for any and every curious person to see.

As Capt. Jon Barnwell of Campus Police stated in that same article, "Common people anywhere, at any time, can view whoever is in the library at that time."

By common people, I must clarify, he means everyone -- prospective student or pedophile -- that's messed up.


Nowadays, advancements in technology are being put to work without any consideration of ethical circumstances or consequences of that new implementation.

Certainly, I might be more willing to agree that these cameras are necessary if they were used appropriately as a security measure only accessible to Campus Police and maybe the library staff.

Something isn't right when anyone and everyone can "view whoever is in the library at that time." If the main purpose of these cameras, according to Capt. Barnwell, is to promote this new section of the library and is not for security measures, then there are safer and more effective ways of doing so than a live camera.

First off, the camera is blurry and hardly shows the vastness or diversity the Learning Commons possess. Instead, post pictures of the east wing and maybe even take pictures from different angles and of a variety of locations to capture more territory for interested patrons to see.

Perhaps at this University we could even figure out a way for people to be able to zoom in on those pictures. Those panoramic pictures that University Housing uses on their website to preview select dorm rooms are nice too, how about those? There are many other ways to visually promote the new Learning Commons most of which are more effective, safe and less Orwellian.

I think that the particular girl, who happened to be the subject of a degenerate The Wolf Web thread intended for those persons equivalent to Pavlov's dogs, might agree.

However, ingenious Capt. Barnwell also asserted in that same article, "in this age of electronic media, no one can have a reasonable expectation for privacy when they are in a public area."

Scary, it's like 1984 all over again.

Is it a coincidence that the security guard declined to comment on the subject for the Technician article? Hah, I don't know. But I sure hope that perhaps that same security guard and all of Campus Security is prepared to deal with the potential consequences of creepy persons possessing the capability to watch girls (and boys) online to see their every action, including when they leave late at night.

My final question is: whatever happened to people having a say in this manner? Maybe the student body, faculty, surrounding community and anyone or everyone else who uses this library consented to being taped and watched in our library, but I didn't hear anything about it.

9/10/2007 9:23:08 PM

It was so worth it

9/10/2007 9:30:28 PM

Pavlov's Dogs?

Why would a pedo be watching a college library?

Everyones' a pedo

9/10/2007 9:42:19 PM

Pedo = Scarier.

It gets people attention.

It doesn't need to be logical.

9/10/2007 9:43:21 PM

It's like the tech interviews their columnists, and rejects anyone with a lick of sense.

Because of all the children who go to State, obviously.

(Really, I imagine the masses consider any old and/or ugly male on the web a "pedo" if he's interested in college-age girls. Especially if he's watching them electronically.)

9/10/2007 9:46:36 PM

Well there are those kids that are coming to college earlier and earlier....

maybe a high-school library?

9/10/2007 9:46:54 PM

Perhaps "pervert" would have been a better choice.

9/10/2007 9:48:12 PM

and there are not people who hide under desks and masturbate on girls shoes?

9/10/2007 9:50:04 PM

its not like its a public place that anyone can go to anyway

Pedos aren't allowed in the library.

Now all of the tight-asses have taken it away from me

referring, specifically, to D.H. Hill, since that's the library at hand.

The world's a strange place?

I don't know, I heard they had a digital pedometer by the entrance.

Happy?

9/10/2007 9:57:01 PM

I agree with the basic point of his article....







But to watch him trying to express his views cognitively into text is painful.

Oh. Got it. You tried to make a funny. And failed.

^see - I couldn't tell you whether or not I agree with the point of his article, as I couldn't bear to read it.


How long before he comes up in this thread, rabid as hell?

You could have been siding with all these fuckers saying 'oh my god let these people in public have some privacy!'


that's why I asked
And I'm sure there really are folks who think pedophiles are banned from public libraries.

Technology has already advanced to the point that you should always assume you're being recorded when in public.

Soon you'll be luckily if you aren't recorded while in private.

9/10/2007 10:05:35 PM

You and I know that.

9/10/2007 10:07:07 PM

I remember a prof once went off on us when we started into the same type of discussion about the cameras in the UK - all over the fucking streets, every intersection, so it seemed. As it turns out, after a subway was bombed, they found the majority of the fuckers that same day because of the cams. The prof was totally in favor of them, but we were stilll "icky" about it.

Why is that being caught is what made it a success?

The core objective of most terrorist missions is to be a general shithead, and the biggest pain in the ass possible. Being caught doesn't cause that.

9/10/2007 10:14:11 PM

I thought it was to scare the shit outta people.

that falls under 'biggest pain in the ass possible'

9/10/2007 10:15:44 PM

The Islamic terrorists goal is to destroy the western world.

And they're doing so by taking away our personal freedoms one step at a time.

9/10/2007 10:23:47 PM

Well they oughtta save up some cash so they can go to war with us for real, this is boring. I wanna bomb something.
