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.

The saga continues (and hopefully ends

08/29/2004 05:16 AMI 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.

Follow Up on Swift Boat Saga
08/27/2004 01:28 PMSpinsanity'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.

holds contracts with 15 Japanese PC makers. The FTC does not have a

Wiki Spam, saga continues
Wiki Spam, saga continues
06/06/2005 12:11 AMEver 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.

Dragon" has broken the genre into the mainstream among Western
audiences, Zhang is happy to follow his lead.
