  Nicholson Baker's Checkpoint: The Reactions and Reviews - the complete review Quarterly
Checkpoint also received extensive coverage in Germany, where the book was published in translation on the same day as in the US, as well as the UK, where the book only appeared about a month later, but where much of the early American reaction was widely reported on.
Checkpoint was published by Bertelsmann subsidiary Random House's imprint Alfred A Knopf on 10 August 2004.
Checkpoint had very poor sales, with only some 6,500 copies sold in the US by the end of August; it certainly counts as one of the biggest literary flops of the year.

 Checkpoint Guidelines - Model Policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
The purpose of the checkpoint is to maximize the deterrent effect and increase the perception of "risk of apprehension" to motorists who would operate a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other drugs.
This is an important aspect of the sobriety checkpoint and part of the effort to reduce the intrusion to the passing motorists affected by the checkpoint.
Checkpoints are an ideal opportunity to give educational materials regarding impaired driving, speeding, child restraint and seat belt usage, as well as seasonal reminders such as schools opening, to persons stopped at the checkpoint.

The Checkpoint Program is evaluated by a variety of means including qualitatively by the actual participants.

 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
Each checkpoint is intended to be specific enough so that someone reviewing a page or site may verify that the checkpoint has been satisfied.
This checkpoint benefits people with user agents (such as some screen readers) that are unable to handle blocks of text presented side-by-side; the checkpoint should not discourage content developers from using tables to represent tabular information.
Checkpoints that contain the phrase "until user agents..." require content developers to provide additional support for accessibility until most user agents readily available to their audience include the necessary accessibility features.

 there was no checkpoint | MetaFilter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
she didn't run a checkpoint at all--she was on a secured road, not the dangerous highway.
If she was on a 'secure road', then its safe to assume that there would be some sort of checkpoints at either end of it.
checkpoints are placed in front of sensative targets, usually several hundred yards in front of a target with a clear field of fire behind it so that if someone does run it, they get shot.

 The Checkpoint Mechanism in KeyKOS
The actual checkpoint mechanism is optimized in several respects in order to reduce as much as possible the period of time during which processes are stopped.
The Checkpoint version of a page or node is found by looking in the checkpoint area; if it is not found there, it is in the home location.
The Checkpoint version will be discarded at the end of the next checkpoint when the checkpoint area is re-used, so the version in the checkpoint area does not need to be saved.

 Checkpoint - Nicholson Baker
Checkpoint is a dialogue (with a brief interruption from room service); it is a confession and a debate, but more than anything, it is a therapy session.
Checkpoint is a book that toys with extremes -- Ben's complete passivity and Jay's threats of unacceptable action -- but, of course, Jay's threats are more a cry for help than real threats.
Checkpoint is ultimately truly a small novel: despite ostensibly being about changing the course of history it is solely about the redemption of the individual (with the help of some amateur psychotherapy).

 The Checkpoint Mechanism
The checkpoint code is the most complex code in the EROS kernel (perhaps the duplexed I/O code comes close, but that is going away soon).
Once the checkpoint is declared, the current generation becomes the checkpoint generation, and a new current generation is started.
If a frame is allocated, then there exists exactly one checkpoint generation associated with that frame, and there is at least one entry in the directory for that generation naming an object in that frame.

 AskTom "Difference between checkpoint, increment..."   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Or is the checkpoint that occurs every 3 seconds not the checkpoint that is used to mark where instance recovery will rollforward and rollback during an instance recovery.
But checkpoints do not occur every N units of time, dbwr (like many background processes -- smon, pmon and so on) time out every N units of time (3 seconds is typical) and look to see if they need to do anything.
A "major checkpoint" is trying really hard to advance the marker into the next redo log, an "incremental" is just trying to advance the marker far enough so that only X blocks of redo would have to be applied during recovery.

Should the checkpoint position point to a redo record written earlier than this target position (written over 1000 records before the record at the end of the log), Oracle will write dirty buffers and advance the checkpoint until it points at a redo record written less than 1000 records ago.
I only see checkpoints occuring at log switches, which is a good thing, don't get me wrong, but according to the doco and all the articles, I should be seeing incremental checkpoint messages in my alert log every 5m worth of changes..
A checkpoints primary job is to flush dirty blocks from the buffer cache to the database files.

 What Iraq's checkpoints are like | csmonitor.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Sometimes, he may even think that being waved through the first checkpoint means he's exempt from the second one (especially if he's not familiar with American checkpoint routines).
This fear comes into play at checkpoints because US troops are often accompanied by a cordon of Iraqi security forces - and a lot of the assassinations and kidnappings have been carried out by Iraqi security forces or people dressed in their uniforms.
The essential problem with checkpoints is that the Americans don't know if the Iraqis are "friendlies" or not, and the Iraqis don't know what the Americans want them to do.

 OFFOFFOFF film review CHECKPOINT (Machssomim) Israeli documentary movie by Yoav Shamir
The Israeli documentary "Checkpoint" does too little to explore its subject of the border crossings that define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on a personal level, but it does spur thought about the psychology on both sides of the country's divide.
This is quite a week to be seeing the documentary "Checkpoint." It's a week when many of the contradictions of Israeli politics are coming to a head, and the checkpoints that separate Jewish and Palestinian territories, where this film was shot, are flashpoints of the conflict.
In "Checkpoint," we watch the daily routine at the militarized border, and these issues are very much in the air.

 Checkpoint comradeship - Haaretz - Israel News
At the Taysir checkpoint, for example, in two cases documented during the past two weeks, a soldier urinated in public, and in the presence of women.
This was but an extreme manifestation of the scorn the soldiers at the checkpoint demonstrate for the people who are at their mercy and must pass through there - teachers, farmers, merchants, schoolchildren, workers at the settlements.
In any case, in the past, too, after this kind of information was brought to the attention of the commanders, the situation at the checkpoint improved for several days and the waiting time was shorter, and then everything returned to the status quo ante.

Yet today's leaders claim 9/11 somehow "changed everything." Stoking our fears to squelch dissent, they have created an unprecedented America: one in which citizens must pass internal checkpoints, can have their privacy invaded without warrant, can be detained for years without trial, and can inflict -- or suffer -- officially sanctioned levels of torture.

 Machssomim (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Many different encounters occur at these checkpoints each and every day, revealing a reality with its own rules and regulations, a reality that has a destructive impact on both societies.
Filmed over two years, 'Checkpoint' depicts the harsh and banal routine of these crossing points and documents the day-to-day situations that form a microcosm of the situation.
An ambulance stopped and searched, ditto a school bus - both will ensure a lot of anger at such depictions - until it is understood that both modes of transport have been used in the past for the carrying of explosives.

Plenty of political thrillers have revolved around plots to assassinate a president, but the odd thing about Checkpoint is how real and how current are the frustrations which push Jay over the edge.
On a literal level, checkpoint refers to a recent incident in Iraq where a family fleeing a war zone was shot at because they waved to soldiers as they drove up to a security checkpoint.
Checkpoint also refers to the mental state of mind one reaches after prolonged exposure to moral outrage.

 Assassination Porn - Nicholson Baker's irate new novel. By Timothy Noah
Twelve years later, Baker is once again creating a stir with Checkpoint, an even-more-slender political novel, structured as a conversation between two people about the advisability of assassinating the president.
But Checkpoint's writing is less polished, its characters less complex, and its humor less prevalent (though there's some ambiguity on this last point; more in a moment).
It isn't clear that Jay represents much of a threat, since his most prized weapons turn out to be "radio-controlled flying saws," a giant boulder made of depleted uranium ("You're going to squash the president?" Ben asks), and "homing bullets," which Jay programs by "marinating" them in a box with a photograph of President Bush.
