Should Companies Be Sued For Allowing
Pornographic Spam?


Should Companies Be Sued For Allowing
Pornographic Spam?
12/03/2003 11:06 AM
Here come the lawyers. This topic has been discussed before, but as the spam problem gets worse, more lawyers are sensing a chance to make a little extra money, so it's coming up again. Lawyers are now looking to sue companies that allow pornographic spam to reach employee in-boxes saying that it creates an unsafe working environment. Of course, companies already know what a pain spam is to their employees, and they would love to stop it. The problem is that spam is very difficult to stop effectively, and many spam-stopping solutions create additional problems as well (whether its additional maintenance costs or lost legitimate emails). Blaming the spam on the companies that don't use filters seems a bit misplaced. The people who should be blamed are the spammers themselves. Besides, in most cases, the spam is due to someone letting their email address become public. If these lawsuits are valid, then it actually will encourage people to be fast and loose with their email address to get as much porn spam as possible - just to sue their employers.

Tantek goes a data mining 06/25/2004 04:01 AM

"There's GOLD in them thar blogs!" Tantek Celik was overheard yelling at the dinner party two night ago. "I'm a going a data mining..."

As Scoble tells it.....

It's public now, so wanted to let everyone know that Tantek Çelik is leaving Microsoft and going to work for Technorati. This is a loss for Microsoft and a major win for Technorati. Tantek did the rendering engine for IE on the Mac, represented Microsoft on the W3C, among other things, during his tenure at Microsoft (some of his more recent work won't be seen until Longhorn ships).

I learned it earlier this week (Tantek IM'd me). Tantek is one of those developers that you just wish you could bottle up and duplicate. I'm happy for him and Technorati, though.

Is the weblogging and RSS world picking up steam? Can you feel it yet?

Data Mining by Government Rampant


Data Mining by Government Rampant 05/28/2004 12:46 PM

The General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, has issued a new report showing that government agencies are using data-mining in all kinds of ways and without any serious scrutiny for abuse. It's all in the name of protecting against terrorism, but the wider use of these techniques is blatantly obvious, and dangerous. And this report doesn't have anything about what the CIA and NSA are doing, because they didn't bother to respond to Congress on this question. Secrecy rules if you're the government. Privacy is dying if you're not the government. This is a dangerous imbalance.


SQL Server Data Mining Programmability


SQL Server Data Mining Programmability 04/14/2005 01:40 AM
With Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the collection of statistics techniques and machine learning algorithms generically known as data mining is brought up to a new level. The most important change is that, in SQL Server 2005, data mining changes its target audience. Besides being a scientific lab instrument, addressing a limited number of highly skilled individuals, SQL Server Data Mining now gains ubiquity as a handy tool for developers, ready to be used in a wide range of applications. Most applications, from spreadsheets to Internet games, from peer-to-peer communication systems to application servers, share one common characteristic: they have to process data. In doing this, they use certain standard APIs for accessing data. With SQL Server 2005 Data Mining, the same kind of APIs can be used to embed machine intelligence in the data processing systems.

Insurance Company Offering eBay
Insurance
11/17/2003 04:17 AM
Everyone has heard about various eBay scams, and it's making people increasingly nervous to buy or sell products on the site. So, along comes an insurance company to try to help alleviate some of the problems. They're offering a form of eBay insurance, though it might not work the way you would expect. It's targeted at eBay power sellers who are willing to give up a small percentage of each sale for the right to display a "BuySafe" logo. The logo is supposed to link to a site that will verify that the logo has been approved. The insurance company (Hartford) then insures that the buyer will either receive the good - or the money they paid for the good will be returned. Of course, they'll only handle claims that occur within 30 days of the sale, so if the seller keeps telling you to hang on a little while longer, you might be out of luck. Also, eBay offers their own service like this, but the fine print is a killer. While the service promises to refund up to $1,000, it isn't $1,000 per purchase, but $1,000 per seller. So, if (as did happen) a seller with such a logo scams people out of a million dollars, the company would split $1,000 among all the victims. Not particularly comforting.

Start-up launches Linux legal protection

Open Source Risk Management plans on Monday to begin selling Linux users protection against copyright infringement claims such as those levied by the SCO Group.

The New York-based company is launching the insurance-like offering after a six-month study that compared Linux with several versions of Unix. The evaluation uncovered no copyright problems with versions 2.4 or 2.6 of Linux's heart, or kernel, a finding that contradicts SCO's legal attack on IBM, AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler.
