The Black iPod; Update: Solved!

So a car company, which I'll
call Jaguar (if I may be so bold), is offering up a chance to win a
black iPod to promote its X-Type automobile. And what's interesting,
besides the chance at a mythical black iPod, is the fact that there
was once 75 of these custom-painted devices, at least according to
MacCentral. But why? I presume that the other 74 had something to do
with Jaguar, too, but where did they go? Were they given to other
X-Type buyers? If you know, please share.
My guess? I think the original iPods were black, and then
were later changed to white, just like they did to Jesus.

Academy Piracy Case Solved
Academy Piracy Case Solved
01/25/2004 10:32 AMFBI makes arrest in Oscar screener
piracy: Kind of a sad story here. A "friend" of an elderly Academy member
convinced him to send him the screeners he got every year. The videos
were promptly pirated.
Carmine Caridi admitted in an affidavit released Thursday
that he sent every so-called "screener" videotape he's received for
the past three years to an acquaintance in the Chicago area, Russell
W. Sprague.
Sprague, 51, was arrested at his home in Homewood, Ill., on
Thursday after a search of his home turned up hundreds of films, many
of which had been converted to DVD format and had the Academy's
encryption code erased, along with an array of duplicating equipment,
authorities said.
One thing we learned is that the Academy's tracing technology
works. They tracked this all back to the source via a digital
watermark on the movies which indicated who they had been sent
to.

Contribute / ProFTPd problem solved
11/19/2003 06:55 PMAfter further analysis of the Contribute problem described earlier, we
discovered that Contribute was opening a new FTP connection every time we clicked a
link within the application even before we had hit the "edit page"
button to fire up the editing mode. Switching the connection over to
use SFTP instead of FTP had the same problem,
with a secure connection being opened for each link we clicked
instead. The connections remained open until we shut down
Contribute.
My hunch is that this could be an obscure bug that only surfaces
when Contribute is used with ProFTPd 1.2.9. At any rate, we've solved
the problem by setting the MaxClientsPerUser directive in the ProFTPd
configuration file. Contribute doesn't seem to mind in the
slightest.

Porn Problem On Mobile Phones Solved
06/14/2004 01:17 PMFor the last few months, the idea that kids would be running around
accessing all sort of awful pornography on their mobile phones has
been getting increasing attention, mainly due to
mislead
ing studies and a growing frenzy of people who hear the words
"porn" and "children" and like to freak out before any details are
known. However, it seems that worried parents around the globe can
now rest easier, since we're being told the
problem of porn on mobile phones has been solved by some
new filters. Yes, despite the fact that porn filters on much more
powerful computers have been shown to barely work at all, while
tending to block plenty of perfectly legitimate sites and images,
apparently these porn filters on mobile phones work
perfectly.
Or, at least, that's the impression you would get reading this article
that doesn't seem to doubt the fact that these mobile phone porn
filters must work. At the same time, no one has yet demonstrated that
the issue of porn on mobile phones actually is a problem - but the
article does make clear that wireless carriers are going to need to
manage all this filtering software themselves, because it won't run at
the handset level. So, we now have an expensive to maintain
non-working solution to a problem that might not exist.

Penn State begins free music download
service for students
01/18/2004 02:46 PM
On January 12, the University of Pennsylvania began
providing its on campus student body free access to Napster 2.0's subscription
music service through a campus-wide contract with Napster. The contract allows students to listen to
streaming audio or "tethered downloads" for free. (Tethered downloads
are downloaded music files that will only play as long as the user
maintains a subscription to Napster, or in this case, as long as the
student remains at Penn State.) Alternately, students can pay 99¢ a
track to burn songs to disk or transfer them to a mp3 player.
According to the
Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription required) other
schools are watching the experiment
closely to see if the availability of free legal music downloads will
reduce illegal file sharing on campus. As part of the contract,
Napster has provided local caching servers for about 90 percent of the
most requested songs which is expected to improve performance and
reduce network congestion. According to Penn State Live , almost
3000 students (of 17,000 eligible students) registered for the service
on the first day, streaming or downloading about 100,000 songs. No
network congestion was reported.

08/27/2004 01:56 PMUK tabloid
The
Sun is reporting that 227 UK Civil Servants in the Department for
Work and Pensions (DWP) have been disciplined for downloading
pornographic images whilst at work. The Sun reports that some 2
million images were viewed, as well as some involving child
pornography / abuse. Of the 227, 16 were sacked, one has been
prosecuted, and the rest have been able to continue their jobs at the
Government department.
Liberal Democrat Steve Webb (Lib Dem DWP Spokesperson) believed that
the government should introduce a 'zero-tolerance' policy across all
departments when it came to pornography. "Any public servant who
accesses porn sites at work should lose their jobs" Webb
commented.
A spokesperson for the DWP said that regular checks took place on
staff computers for pornography; any staff caught would be
investigated. However, they also commented that many investigations
into pornographic material was due to staff inadvertently clicking a
link that brought them to the page, rather than an intentional action.
The Sun claims the most recent check was sparked off after a DWP
employee was caught watching porn at work.
