He added that the teachers were learning a lot too.”

Student Who Changed Grades Caught

Student Who Changed Grades Caught 05/11/2004 03:16 PM
A student who hacked into school computers to change his own grades has been caught. The student has been suspended and they're debating whether or not to file charges against him. This seems like such a cliche hack. The student also apparently tried to delete over a thousand files on the computer system as school officials were monitoring them and trying to track down the hacker. So, this week we have stories about the stere otypical teenager Sasser hacker and a kid who changed grades in the school computer. What other stereotypical hack is missing to completely drive home the nerdy teenaged hacker stereotype?

A growing number of teachers and schools are making grades available nearly in real-time over the Internet.

First they are attacked by evil Orcs in the woods; next they are driven into the dark forest of Lothlorien, where they are imprisoned by the beautiful but evil Queen Beruthiel. They make their escape when Beruthiel's good sister, Galadriel, frees them from their prison-cell and floats them down the river in barrels ... however, they face a terrifying setback when they are found by the evil wizard Radagast. Gandalf sacrifices his life to destroy Radagast the Balrog, and the others escape the mountains while the battle rages.

Friedman quotes a former Swedish prime minister. "Our defining date is now 1989 and yours is 2001," I find this to be true. For most of the 90's, the US struggled to find a new purpose for its power. A few peace-keeping missions, a skirmish in Iraq (the first time), but for the most part, no real global strategy. Europe, on the other hand, has made significant progress with developing the EU, the euro (which no one believed would ever come about so quickly), and a semi-unified policy concerning the rest of the world (GB being the notable exception).

A Bachelor's Degree in Disinterest

A Bachelor's Degree in Disinterest 11/22/2002 02:34 PM
I've added Bitworking.org to the Outside Reading, a site I've been to before but found again today while traversing the recommended reading area at DiveIntoMark (which contains many more links to worthy reading). This quote really got my attention: "...I really don't care about people using Netscape 4. As a matter of fact if I could find a sequence of tags that would cause NN4 to do nasty stuff like erase your hard-drive or shoot lightning out of screen when viewing this site I would gleefully add them." I have to agree on principle that if you are using Netscape Navigator version 4 still, you have to get with the times and upgrade to a suitable browser. I understand that some corporations still mandate NN4's use for some unknown reason, and for people in that dilemma, I offer this handy link. I really wanted to attend Web Design World in Boston this week, but a combination of price and the college thing kept me away. I wanted to see Jeffrey Zeldman and peers speek, and spend time participating in what I am interested in. The latter part of that sentence is my main source of grief. My participation in this web design community has really been passive lately; there have been few opportunities at college. My greatest (scholastic) fear is that I will spend four years of undergraduate study writing C++ programs for class and finessing the web in my spare time, when ideally for me these two roles would be reversed. That being said I do have hope for the future. The Interactive Telecommunications Program, a graduate level program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, looks promising for those people interested in online and, more generally, interactive media. If anyone has any experience with this program, send me your thoughts.

The Rise Of Second Degree Spam

The Rise Of Second Degree Spam 11/17/2003 01:57 PM
While the Direct Marketing Association continues to push for a definition of spam that would make only fraudulent emails spam, they seem to be ignoring the fact that most spam is defined simply as "emails I don't want" - whether legitimate or not. And, under that real world definition, more and more spam is coming from so-called "legitimate" sources. People are starting to call this email "second degree spam". It's not unsolicited, because the receiver signed up at one point or another, but the company delivering the marketing messages has done nothing to make those emails relevant - and thus, in the user's eye, they're no different than spam. The marketers seem to be ignoring this because they think it's to their benefit. They're wrong. The more that lazy marketers simply blast people with irrelevant emails just because they think it's okay that someone "opted-in", the less people will pay attention to these emails. If they actually focused on customizing the messages and providing what people wanted without inundating them with useless stuff, they might actually get a good return. Unfortunately, it's easier to be lazy and use a "scorched earth" policy of blasting out as many messages as possible - even if it will only work to destroy email as a marketing mechanism.
