Microsoft Throwing Its Weight Around

Microsoft Throwing Its Weight Around 12/19/2004 02:57 PM

Yeah, I know. What's new about that?

MS lawyers jumped all over the administrators of digital.forest demanding that they immediately shut down the MacSlash site because someone posted what appeared to be a valid Longhorn serial number in a comment to a post there. (Story here.) From the logs, the MacSlash guys figured that that comment was accessed exactly once in the eight months it was there. By MSN's own search bot.

Chuck Goolsbee, head geek at digital.forest, responded to the hounds:

A short lesson in human nature... Try asking nicely. I realize that owners of intellectual property feel the need to enter into discussions with lawyers blazing, but I know from long experience that attack begets defence, whereas courtesy begets respect. If you look at this situation objectively, I'm sure you will realize that the site owners have not acted in any malicious way. The content in question was posted to the bulletin board by some anonymous user. So, rather than using terms like "Demand for Immediate Take-Down" why don't you try something like "Please remove copyright infringing content".

You will likely be amazed at how much better it works.

(I've always liked that Chuck!)

Of course, Ben from MacSlash edited the serial number out of the comment as soon as he realized it was there. The funny thing is that now that it's gone from MacSlash, it can still be seen in Google's cach e of the page. I wonder how many people have seen it now.

The difference between throwing a bullet

The difference between throwing a bullet
and shooting it out of a gun 05/18/2004 01:24 AM

I've started trying to exercise more regularly for the past couple weeks, going for a 12 mile, hilly bike ride 3 times a week. Today I did my ride with a decent average speed and finished it in the shortest time yet. The loop I ride has a couple 10% grades in it and I do about 250ft of climbing through it. I was walking around the house today feeling pretty cocky about my progress when I sat down to watch one of my current favorite shows, The Lance Chronicles.

On tonight's episode they followed Lance Armstrong through his european training. One of his regular rides was a 4 1/2 hour, 30 mile climb from the flats high into the mountains, going straight up. It turns out he climbs over 13,000ft in that single ride. When I was in marathon shape, I did a few hikes where I would gain about 6,000ft in a single day from basecamp to summit, and Lance is doing more than twice that. As a training ride.

I'm thinking he's a shoe-in for this year's Tour.

Man Angry At Mobile Phone Service,
Starts Throwing Phones 05/14/2004 03:14 PM
These days, with things like number portability around, if you don't really like your mobile phone provider, you can simply change providers. Apparently, that wasn't what a man in North Dakota wanted, though. He went to the local Verizon Wireless store, pissed off about something, and when yelling at employees (his original intention) didn't satisfy him, he started to fling mobile phones around the store causing $2,000 worth of damages and injuring (not badly) an employee. Of course, you have to wonder about his claim that he only intended to yell at employees. Before he started his fling fest he apparently took off his shirt (?!?) and put on safety goggles. Amusingly, this was done at a Verizon Wireless store - and Verizon Wireless tends to get some of the best marks for customer service.

The Trouble with Tables

The Trouble with Tables 02/05/2003 10:17 AM
I keep coming across articles about tables in web pages. It seems that some people don't like them at all. Dave Winer hates the performance of the weblogs.com front page. Understandably so, it's a dog.

Even if we pretend that HTML hasn't degraded from a logical format to a presentation format, tables are still a good thing. The bottom line is that many forms of data are tabular and pretending otherwise just makes the final presentation (because there's always a final presentation somewhere) harder or ugly or both. -- Michael Winser

According to Dave, Michael is one of the IE developers at Microsoft. Michael's solution is table-layout.

Apparently there remains some confusion after my Thursday-afternoon rumination on the poten tial use of tables, as opposed to pure CSS-based layouts. I'm going to share some of my experience to help clear this up.

I will be the first to admit I have several websites with Tables and need to get them converted to CSS. I encourage you to take the time and read the linked article to better understand why you are throwing money away every day by not cleaning up your website and converting from plain jane HTML to CSS.

While misused tables are becoming increasingly rare, the table retains a legitimate role in data formatting. A little CSS and JavaScript magic can make tables better at what they do best: displaying tabular data.
