Spammers Hijacking Servers Is Nothing
New 11/10/2003 11:02 PM
While there are plenty of stories these days about spammers hijacking computers around the world to send out more spam, you might not realize that this is nothing new. A story published five years ago said that, at the time, one in five corporate servers was being hijacked for spam. In other words, five years later and we haven't done much to solve the sneaky methods spammers use to send out their junk mail.

Anti-Spammers 06/11/2004 12:55 PM
It looks like the various spam laws that help legalize spam are making the spammers extra litigious. Following a lawsuit in the US by a spammer against an anti-spam operation for still block their email, some spammers in the UK are threatening Spamhaus with lawsuits for still having them on their blacklist. The problem is that, just because the law now gives them the permission to spam, it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to make their own private efforts to block them. The laws may allow them to send their spam, but there's nothing in these laws that require people to receive it.

In September, The Hospital gallery in London will display items belonging to Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, including a blood-stained "Never Mind the Bollocks" poster collected from the Chelsea Hotel room where the couple lived (and she died).

"The collection of artefacts, including original T-shirts, posters and handwritten lyrics, has been assembled over 15 years by art dealer Paul Stolper and Andrew Wilson, deputy editor of Art Monthly. They told The Independent on Sunday that the hotel items were sold at auction by Sid Vicious' mother, Anne Beverley."

Router Easily Exploited 06/03/2004 01:35 PM

Heads up, ye owners of the popular Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router. Even if you disable remote administration, the router will still allow users sharing your WiFi network to access administration web pages. That's not the end of the world unless you haven't changed your admin password, which if you're like most of us, coddled by fire-and-forget technology, you probably haven't. If you aren't taking any more steps to secure your router, at least do yourself a favor and change the default password to something else, preferably not the name of a pet, child, or the lady down the hall you've been sleeping with that you think, hey, nobody knows about but really, seriously, we all totally know.
Read [InternetNews via /.]

Update: Looks like it's not quite as bad as it could be, as the exploit only works if the built-in firewall has been disabled (it defaults to on). Still, wouldn't this be a great time to verify your settings?

PITCH LOCK:
AN INNOVATION WAITING TO BE
EXPLOITED?

PITCH LOCK:
AN INNOVATION WAITING TO BE
EXPLOITED? 09/09/2004 05:41 AM

Unless you're a DJ, or have one of those high-end digital music players, mixers, or mixing software tools (and actually read the instruction book) you probably don't know what Pitch Lock is. Basically, it's a function that allows you to change the tempo (speed) of a recording without changing its pitch. DJ's use this function to 'sync' two songs so that one blends into the next. This is called 'beatmixing' and here, from the DJ Cafe site, is an example of how it's used, with cross-fading (lowering the volume of the ending song while increasing the volume of the starting one) to make a series of songs with different beat-per-minute tempos into one 'endless' song: If the song the crowd is hearing is 130 BPM, and the next song you want to play is 132 -- you slow the second song down to 130 bpm using pitch control, and cue it up to the beat. When you are ready to bring the second song into play, throw the record so the beats stay aligned and listen to it on your headphones. Make sure they are in sync!! Once you are sure things are in order, use your cross fader to let the new song blend into the old one, and eventually go completely across so only the new song is playing. This will give the illusion that the song never ended. I didn't think much about this, although one of the software tools that works with my MP3 jukebox has a Pitch Lock feature, and it was kind of fun slowing down and speeding up my favourite songs and second-guessing whether the artists should have picked a different tempo. But then this afternoon I was listening to one of my favourite songs from the new Sarah McLachlan album on the radio and it sounded funny -- a lot faster than the version I was used to. I figured it was a remix so I listened through and the DJ announced it but didn't say anything special about it. So I cued up the original and listened, and I knew it wasn't a remix or my imagination. And then it occurred to me: The station is using Pitch Lock to speed up the songs by a just-less-than-noticeable amount so they can play more songs per hour and have more time for commercials. So that got me thinking: What else could this be used for? Consider this fact: Average speech is about 140-160 WPM, and when we try to speak much faster than that our speech becomes slurred. When we're thinking about what we're saying, we talk even slower -- 80-120 WPM. But we are able to comprehend properly-articulated speech of 210 and even 240 WPM without difficulty (average reading speed, by contrast, is 275 WPM, and speed readers top 800 WPM, though they don't read every word). So that means that we could use Pitch Lock to accelerate speech by 50%, to a speed much faster than we could crisply deliver it, but with no loss in comprehension. And thanks to Pitch Lock, it would come out in the same deep, calm, enticing voice as the original, but deliver 50% more words, information or argument per minute. Still think this is a silly innovation? Here are some commercial and time-saving applications that occurred to me right off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more: Voice-mail message replay: Double the playback speed to whisk past the ums and ers and retrieve your messages in half the time. Audio tape/audio book learning: Get through the tapes in 2/3 the time; learn 50% faster. Ditto for audiotaped or even videotaped conferences. Advertising: Tell your customers, or your potential voters, 50% more in the minute you're paying for. And maybe, by using up their idle brain time, reduce attention deficit syndrome and get people to pay closer attention to what you're saying to boot. Or maybe not. Language learning: Slow down the playback speed while you're learning a language, and gradually increase it as you learn to parse the words faster and as your vocabularly grows. This could also be used for simultaneous translation in conferences, as long as they allowed short breaks after each speech for the translator to catch up. Padding a good show: If the show you're watching or the music or talk you're listening to is wonderful, and you never want it to end, or if you're a producer and the program's a bit short, just use Pitch Lock to stretch it out a bit. After all, if Bernstein can get away with stretching Samuel Barber's famous and extraordinary 6:50 Adagio for Strings into a piece that lasts over 10 minutes without adding any notes, maybe he's on to something. Studying and transcribing music: Having trouble following the chord changes or finger patterns in a favourite song? Slow it down with Pitch Lock and take your time. Likewise if you're visually disadvantaged, slow down speeches to the pace at which you can comfortably take notes. These and other applications could be exploited either at the time of recording, or at the time of playback. I'm sure the military and forensic sciences are already using this. It might also be used to listen to heart-beats, or study the songs of whales or birds, in slow motion yet at an audible pitch level. Or to determine an optimal speaking rate for computerized voice synthesizers (likely a lot faster than today's unsophisticated versions). What else could Pitch Lock be used for? And what if we combined it with other new technologies: For example, could we teach speech-recognizing computers to 'speed talk' much the way we 'speed read', to 'read aloud' or play back the common words that make up 80% of normal speech and are not essential to understanding at, say, 500 WPM, and the rest at 200 WPM, so we could become 400 WPM 'speed listeners' and 'speed learners'? And in this increasingly oral/aural culture, might we then give up reading and writing entirely?
