Learn the details of character species, profession building and find out the state of the Galactic Civil War." There is also a download area with wallpapers, screenshots, and video of Jedi in battle. Good stuff - check it out.

HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray, The Saga Continues

HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray, The Saga Continues 09/01/2004 01:19 PM

LIAM "THE INTERN" MCNULTY -- As the DVD format gets older more and more people are talking about what is going to take its place. I personally don't think DVD as a media will be getting "old" anytime soon - but since when did my opinion matter? [Excellent point. -ed.]

Most people involved in the argument feel that one of two next-generation optical media types will replace DVD - either HD DVD (for "High Definition DVD," or Blu-Ray (which somehow ends up being a "BD-ROM"). Since Sony (among others) has already quietly released Blu-Ray devices to the public, and announced that the Playstation 3 will utilize Blu-Ray, we can easily see that Sony is pioneering the format, and likely the one with the most proverbial ass on the line. I could go into the specifications of each format more, but that's what Google is for, slack.

All this is to say, when you hear an announcement about Blu-Ray, don't expect an announcement about HD DVD to be far behind. In fact, today saw both announcements.

I wrote recently on a company which sends advertisements disguised as bills. I sent an email to the Finnish Consumer Ombudsman, and finally received a reply.

The official response says that the company "has agreed to stop such advertising, and is also closing down their web page. Closing of the web page has been influenced by a disagreement between the company and their ISP". So, perhaps the ISP should've sent their bill disguised as an advertisement *grin*.

I have to say that I found it quite pleasurable to talk to the Consumer Agency. If only they would respond faster to the initial email: "Yeah, we have received your mail, and are processing it." Now there was no indication that they actually had received the mail, which was kinda annoying. But all in all, I like the fact that we are moving towards a state where we can talk to the government agencies and bureucracies using email and other electronic ways of communication.

But is it always good? Before, you needed to talk to a faceless bureucrat in some gray building deep in the city center, but at least it was personal. These days, you send an email, and you have no idea who responded, as personalities are hidden behind catch-all email addresses or switchboard numbers.

However, it's not an "or" question. We can still choose to go and meet the bureucrats in person, if we choose to. And probably get a better service than before, because they now have less people coming to meet them. That's what the Internet gives us - more choices to pick from. That's why it's good, I think.

Microsoft has made their stance clear with the statement that “Contracts with Japanese PC makers do not violate the Japanese antimonopoly law”. As things stand right now, Microsoft holds contracts with 15 Japanese PC makers. The FTC does not have a problem with the fact MS is doing business with these companies. The FTC’s concerns actually…

Wiki Spam, saga continues

Wiki Spam, saga continues 06/06/2005 12:11 AM
Ever since I implemented the SpamFilter module for JSPWiki, the WikiSpam situation has improved dramatically. It works in two ways: first, it checks the submitted text against a list of regular expressions (typically domain names, but this is user-editable). This is what most blacklists do. In addition, it also has a limit how many pages the user can edit in one minute. If the user submits more than X number of edits, their IP address gets automatically blacklisted for a limited period of time.

In case the user is blacklisted or submits a blacklisted URL, he gets redirected to a page called "Rej ectedMessage", which describes the reason for the rejection of the edit. Most bots (and clueless spammer slaves, working in Brazil or China or wherever, and submitting spam manually) will continue to attempt editing this page, but since they are already blacklisted, they'll keep failing.

In addition, all the non-current revisions of pages at jspwiki.org have the Google rel=nofollow attribute set, so any WikiSpam that goes to the repository has no impact on search engine rankings. The spam is relatively trivial to remove as well, as one single spammer usually makes only about four-five changes to the site before getting blacklisted. They want to work fast to spam as much as possible, and this system forces them to work slow...

Of course, all this means that Rej ectedMessage has become the most accessed page in the history of JSPWiki. That's fun.

Follow Up on Swift Boat Saga

Follow Up on Swift Boat Saga 08/27/2004 01:28 PM

Spinsanity's Brendan Nyhan says I've contributed to the mis-impression that John Kerry knew he was volunteering for "particularly dangerous" duty when he took command of a Swift boat in Vietnam. He cites a Boston Globe story quoting Kerry's observation that the Swift boat duty he thought he was signing up for was relatively safe for a Vietnam posting. I have some quibbles with his interpretation of what I wrote in this post a few days ago; I'd argue that "relatively safe" in Vietnam was still dangerous, so that my post was technically correct (I didn't say "particularly" dangerous). But that's splitting hairs. Nyhan is undoubtedly right to say that some readers probably got a mis-impression from my posting. So mea culpa.
