Harnessing Evil for the power of...
well, less evil 06/05/2005 11:55 PM
There are days I think the $WORK_PROJECT is an exercise in extended programming irony. The parrot code my compiler generates for $WORK_LANGUAGE makes heavy use of continuations. Really heavy use of continuations, to the point where reports are taking (and discarding) three continuations per record plus another two or three per page of the output. For a language which doesn't have functions, blocks, or lexical variables, and whose idea of sophisticated control flow is goto or gosub to bare labels. Go figure....

Yesterday, late in the afternoon, I wrote a bit about evil, and how unfortunate it is that this word has entered discourse in the blogosphere. I think we can trace it back to the Google goal of not being evil, an idea that's run its course, and should be stricken from their corporate philosophy. Google is no more or less evil than any other company, has no basis to claim a moral superiority, and should openly cancel it. And if they won't remove the hex, let me offer a new law of the Internet, a corollary to Godwin's Law. "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of it becoming about evil approaches one." And I'd add, that the length of time is shorter, but the effect on discourse is the same. It stops all rational discussion immediately.

Coincidence or contortion? Ivan Panin deciphered a numeric code in the Bible. Known as Gematria, the 'code' implies the Bible could not have been written without Holy assistance. Panin offered an open challenge for someone to create text using a similar pattern, yet no one was able to create one(nor tried).

However many people doubt the authenticity of the code though. The code is found in the same verses using different translations. It is also claimed that Panin manufactured his own translations to create this mathematical phenomenon.

Whether or not you believe, you can determine how good or evil any text or website is.

Oh That Evil IRC

Oh That Evil IRC 05/06/2004 02:53 AM
Admittedly, I haven't used IRC in about a decade, but I'm still a bit surprised to see the NY Times write up a whole article describing just how evil IRC is. After reading the article, you can almost count down the days before some politicians talk about investigating this "IRC thing." Is it my imagination or is IRC just a technology that can be used for chatting? Most of the article talks about all the terrible stuff that is done on IRC in a way that does its best to blame the technology. They practically apologize for the few times they try to mention non-evil things that IRC is used for, as if they can't believe that anyone would dare defend such an evil monstrosity.

The New York Times has an article about how evil IRC is.

New York Times

Still, I.R.C. perhaps most closely resembles the cantina scene in "Star Wars'': a louche hangout of digital smugglers, pirates, curiosity seekers and the people who love them (or hunt them). There seem to be I.R.C. channels dedicated to every sexual fetish, and I.R.C. users speculate that terrorists also use the networks to communicate in relative obscurity.

Dvorak's ragging on chat and IM too.

Give me a break. Are people running out of new technologies to bash?

Google To Start Selling Banner Adverts From the that-didn't-take-too-long-department, Google's ad sales VP Tim Armstrong says Google will now start selling graphical banner adverts. One concession to their old mores is that, for now, the banner adverts will only appear on affiliated websites running their AdSense referral program (as does MeFi), and there is an opt-out. However... "We have no plans to show images on Google.com", said Mr. Armstrong "but we are not opposed to it".

Return of the evil Net

Return of the evil Net 04/19/2004 01:38 PM
A News.com stor y today includes the quote from Rocky Anderson, Mayor of Salt Lake City, explaining his opposition to a municipal broadband network:

This reminds me of the media coverage of the Internet around 1995.  A good percentage of the stories were focused on the dangers of online porn, privacy violations, and other threats the Net posed to truth and decency.  Sure, many of those issues were and are real.  But the tenor of the coverage suggested that the Net was a cesspool of filth, with harms exceeding its benefits. 

I thought we were beyond that point.  But now we seem to be back to a similar discourse, with a twist.  The threat is that if you give people better connectivity, they'll use it to -- gasp -- share files!  This is another example of the criminalization of intellectual property law that I discussed two posts ago.  It's also the epitome of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

Some interesting results from the Transatlantic Consumer Dialog's survey on spam. 21,000 people responded, from 36 countries.


Perhaps the scariest one is that 52% number. Spam is becoming a serious drag on the Internet economy. Not just the direct time and resources it sucks up, but its indirect effects in discouraging people from using email and the Web.

The Axis of Just as Evil

The Axis of Just as Evil 03/13/2003 10:25 AM
This made me laugh out loud. It's allegedly written by John Cleese, but it turns out that it originally came from Satirewire. "Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address. Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil...in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil...we're the best."

Evil geeks 09/14/2004 02:49 PM
Cory Doctorow: Danny "Evil" O'Brien has written an hilarious column in (mock) celebration of the world's most evil geeks:

How do you work out who the movers and shakers are in the free software hacking world? For most of them, there's no income to be appraised, there's no stock market valuation to watch. What value can you give to these contributors, who work without care of reward, except maybe all those groupies hanging out at the stage door of the Sourceforge ftp servers?

Well, I guess you could review their software or something. Sadly, I suffer from a debilitating illness (which I shall not mention here) that tragically precludes me from doing actual research. So, instead, I have decided to evaluate those involved in our so-called industry in terms of what we all, I think, see it as.

Beware Those Evil 3G Phones

Beware Those Evil 3G Phones 06/16/2004 09:11 PM
Last month, we wrote about NCH's incredi bly biased survey saying that parents were afraid 3G phones would be used by pedophiles. When you looked at the way the questions were worded, it's no surprise they got the results they did. However, politicians seem to be taking the study seriously. Over in Ireland, they now want to create a national registry of anyone who dares to buy a 3G mobile phone just in case they turn out to be a child pornographer. They admit that those darn GPRS/2.5G phones are a lost cause -- even though many of them have cameras and can do just as much, just at a slower speed. This is a typical political response to a problem. Someone puts out a study that gets whips up people into a frenzy about an issue, and so they come up with some sort of law that makes it look as if they're concerned about the problem. Instead, what we have is a problem that doesn't necessarily exist (certainly, pedophiles could end up using 3G phones, but they can also use the internet, or a regular camera or whatever) and put together a solution that will be expensive, but won't actually do anything to deal with the elements of the problem. As the article points out, someone who intends to use the phone for such purposes will simply give false info, or borrow someone else's phone. The only people this will really impact are tax payers who will have to pay to implement this registry.

McFarlane's Evil Prophecy

McFarlane's Evil Prophecy 06/16/2004 01:07 PM

MATT GALLANT -- How can a prophecy be evil? Prophecies have always seemed to remain pretty objective to me, telling it like it is. Or rather, how it will be. They don't take sides. Except now they do, thanks to comic book artist and mogul Todd "More Spikes n' Chains n' Drapey Things" McFarlane. McFarlane's Evil Prophecy is a new game from Konami that's shipping today for the PS2.

Hey, remember Van Helsing? How Hugh Jackman fought a bunch of classic monsters all in one movie? Come on, it was like one month ago. Anyway, guess what you do in this game? You fight the same classic monsters. Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Werewolf all make appearances. Evil Prophecy provides value though, as there's also the classic nightmare fuel of the Mummy, the Sea Creature, and... black people (as seen in the above screenshot).

Wow, huh? Five supernatural creatures, and then negros. Now, I'm not saying McFarlane is a racist. I'm sure there's a tragic, evil prophecy-mandated reason that these painted and loinclothed African-Africans have to be exterminated by the Aryan Princess and the Aryan Muscleman, and they take no joy in so doing. In fact, the fraulein there is looking pretty glum about the whole thing. What I am saying is that the game has gotten bad reviews and this article does not in any way encourage you to buy it, just to point and laugh.
