Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up
05/24/2004 05:37 PMThe latest study on spam trends appears to show that
financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam
- though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really
hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that
porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers
have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter
what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to
slow down the amount of spam sent.

Pure VoIP Won't Be Regulated, Phone-Like
VoIP Might Be
02/12/2004 02:16 PMAs expected, the FCC ruled on the Pulver VoIP petition today, and gave
something of a split decision. They claim that
"pure" VoIP
systems shouldn't be regulated, since they're just like email or
any other internet application. However, they're reserving judgment
on VoIP systems that more resemble regular phone service, such as
Vonage that touch on the PSTN. This seems like something of a cop
out, and may be difficult to sustain over time. Most of the "pure"
VoIP systems are offering (or planning to offer) gateways that let
them connect to the telephone system. Where do they fall along the
regulatory spectrum? This would take away the incentive of VoIP
providers to connect to regular phone service, creating two different
levels of phone service, rather than connecting the two and leading to
a more orderly migration. Of course, it still remains to be seen what
sorts of regulations they will include for PSTN-connected VoIP.
Chances are, they're talking about adding in 911 service and
phone-tapping abilities.

One less worry in life
One less worry in life
02/01/2005 08:45 PMI'm an adult now and I have a home and savings and have all my
bills in check, but I can never forget what it was like being 18 with
my first bank account, back when using an ATM was like playing
roulette (and like any form of gambling, I walked away empty handed
more often than with any cash). So even though it's been ten years
since I've left an ATM empty handed, I can't get an irrational thought
out of my head every time I use an ATM: that I'm surprisingly and
suddenly dead broke. It's sort of an adult version of the "waking up
naked at the exam" nightmare I used to have in college.
Until now. I was poking around my small town credit union website
and discovered a new alert feature, where they send an email based on
your account activity. So I setup an automatic email that goes to my
cellphone's email address when the checking account is below a fairly
comfortable level. The feeling didn't leave immediately the next time
I used an ATM, but after I saw the feature work when a bunch of bills
went through, I now know that it is instantly wired to my bank
balance, even when I'm far from a computer.
A lot of stuff I've read about simplifying your life involves
removing all those little irrational worries that clog your thoughts
and keep you from getting things done and living happy. In addition to
this small thing, I've been to the dentist for the first time in years
and removed the other big irrational fear that my teeth would fall out
any day now. It's been nice to remove these worries from my life
forever, as I've got
a whole bunch of new worries lined up to deal with. :)

this time from Edinburgh, Scotland: This article is only slightly
sensational, which might result from the reporter having heard these
claims for the first time about the risks of a wireless network. But
they're not too far off the mark. The biggest problem in articles that
cite the number of "open" access points, as a reader recently pointed
out to me, is that unless you connect to the point and probe, you
can't tell whether the gateway is inside or outside a firewall or has
other restrictions....

tp://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-07-26-longevity_x.htmDan Koster, Web content manager for Queens University of
Charlotte in North Carolina, became a minor celebrity last spring when
he reported that 15-20% of the 2,000 CDs in his properly stored
collection suffered from what has loosely been called CD rot and would
no longer play. As people entrust more and more of their valuable
records -- everything from tax forms to family photos -- to digital
media, the idea that those reliable-looking CDs and DVDs could be,
well, less than reliable, is alarming. And history tells us that even
if the media hold up, the technology needed to retrieve the files may
not always be there. When was the last time you used a reel-to-reel
tape player? Accelerated aging tests conducted by the Library of
Congress and National Institute of Standards and Technology
demonstrate that the poorest-quality CDs may last only four or five
years; the best, more than 100. Consumers can hedge their bets by
keeping hard copy printouts of valuable documents and uploading photos
to online archiving services, but in the end, the simple truth is that
nothing lasts forever.

One-Handed PS2 Controller

Japanese manufacturer Sanwa Denshi has created a
special one-handed Playstation 2 controller, designed to work with the
online-only Final Fantasy XI. Apparently the control in FFXI are so
basic that you only need a D-pad and four buttons, though, and not the
full compliment of shoulder buttons and the like - making it wholly
unsuited for most other games. That's too bad, too, because all jerk
off gamer jokes aside, one handed controllers are a fine idea for RPGs
and other games that don't require precise, frantic input. There was a
einhanded controller for the original Playstation, if I recall.
Somebody should re-release that for the PS2.
Oh, and I like the retractable cord!

Sega Neo Geo Controller for PS2
Sega Neo Geo Controller for PS2
12/29/2004 12:01 PM
For me, nothing beats a good D-pad and an analog
thumbstick for gaming, but for the ultimate fighting game
championships, it's hard to go wrong with a nice 8-way joystick. And
while it's not my favorite stick from history (the metal-shod,
Ghostbusters II NES Advantage probably is nearest to my heart),
the Neo Geo controller certainly has a certain something, not the
least of which is that it was the first home gaming console controller
that had a proper joystick (Atari, et al not withstanding).
So all that's to say, Sega Logistics and SNK Playmore have teamed
up to release a new version of the classic controller, called the 'Neo
Geo Stick 2,' with 4 extra buttons to work with the Sony Playstation
2. It's a strange landscape, isn't it, with Sega releasing an SNK
design on a Sony platform.
