And The Flame War Starts...Now

And The Flame War Starts...Now 07/16/2004 01:54 PM

OK, you Mac users have been telling us this forever, but this is the first time I've seen anyone run the numbers:

Are Mac Users Smarter Than PC Users
[...]
In other words, if we knew that Mac users, as a group, were significantly better users of written English than PC users, then we'd have a presumptive basis for ranking the probable "smartness" of two people about whom we only know that one uses a Mac and the other a PC.

I'll post a well-worded rebuttal as soon as I fig-yer out how this here Intarweb works.

Flame Emails Are Not A Crime

Flame Emails Are Not A Crime 03/22/2005 07:03 PM
A few more details might be useful to understand what really happened in this case, but a woman accused of harassment for sending "e-mails laced with obscenities and references to Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden" to a website that had pro-death penalty statements has been cleared, after the judge said she didn't actually break any laws. Since there were just a few emails, they weren't seen as harassing, and since they were just directed to the website in general (which asked for feedback), rather than the individual who specifically received them, the judge determined that they weren't specific threats or harassments. While the ruling makes sense on the free speech side of things, these other arguments don't seem to make as much sense. Just because the website doesn't indicate who the emails are going to, they're still going to someone. Either way, for those of you who enjoy participating in various flame wars, it certainly seems like this ruling says that free speech protects you (at least in this court's jurisdiction) -- assuming you don't become threatening or continue to harass the person.

About Zawodny's invitation to flame

About Zawodny's invitation to flame 04/23/2004 07:13 PM

Yesterday I pointed to a post by Jeremy Zawodny that appeared to be calling for a flame fest with me as the guest of honor. I pointed to it after the first few comments made it clear that it wasn't going to be a flame fest. In fact, it was the most rational discussion of conflict disclosure I've seen to date in the weblog world. It left me bursting with pride to be part of this community.

There's nothing wrong when someone writes an essay advocating something that they have a financial interest in, as long as the interest is disclosed. For example, if you're going to buy a house, it's good to know you're reading something written by someone who will profit if you buy the house. That's why you get an inspector to look over the house after you decide to make an offer. And why you'd feel betrayed if it turned out the inspector was getting a percentage of the sale. (In fact the inspector would go to jail for doing that.)

So when a Google shareholder write's an empassioned defense of Google, it was correct for Zawodny to ask if he was a shareholder. He did ask, and got an answer, and as far as I was concerned, that was news, so I pointed to it. All of this is good, it's the system working as it should.

As I read John Battelle's analysis of search engines, I wonder if he is consulting for the companies he's writing about. John has a long career as a journalist and now as a professor, both professions require disclosures of conflicts of interest, so I assume he has no such conflict, because I haven't seen a disclaimer from him.

On the other hand, I often see people who I know have conflicts writing in their area of conflict without disclosure. In a world where everyone's playing footsie, if you tend to out people, you quickly get a rep for being difficult, or having personality problems. Does this sound familiar? Heh.

In any case, the thread on Zawodny's was a milestone. Thanks to Tara, Brian, Ryan, Randy, Scott and Rogers and the others who stood up and said it's important to know where people are coming from. Tell people when you have a conflict, they'll read you more carefully, they'll respect you more, and the world will be a better place.

Second PHP Marathon announced 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
DotGeek.org is proud to announce the second PHP Programming Marathon to be held on the 24 April 2004. Instead of receiving the problems and composing your solutions offline, it all takes place online and within a specific timeframe. The Marathon is kindly sponsored by Zend Technologies and will now feature a problem on PHP 5. Participation is free of charge.

Quick announcement:

Anne had lots of Marathon stuff written up (we compose everything offline in Textedit) and the fucking computer locked up. Like a bonehead, I'd forgotten to save it (along with some other important stuff) so it was lost.

I tried cashing in all my computer geek points to resurrect it, but it was DC 45, and all I got was a modified 8.

So that's been set back at least a few days. We both know how many of you guys who supported us and Kris are looking forward to the story wrapping up, but I hope you'll bear with us a little bit longer while our Real Lives take up most of our attention.

I finished the NYRR Holiday Four Mile Run (38:31) this morning and with it completed nine qualifying NYRR races, which means: I've got guaranteed entry into the 2005 NYC Marathon. Yay! As I said to my friend Adriana this morning after the race, "Obviously something's wrong with us if we're waking up to run in 32° weather every weekend for the purpose of gaining entry into a marathon!" Of course, I mean "wrong" in the good sense! I've already got two marathons and one half-marathon scheduled for 2005. Now let's hope my hip injury heals in time.

Marathon Strikes 10

Marathon Strikes 10 12/27/2004 01:22 AM
Marathon, a classic Mac FPS which was said to have rivaled the Doom series, reached its tenth anniversary this week. The official game has been long dead since Microsoft purchased Bungie, but a thriving community has enhanced the popular title and kept it up-to-date. This year, celebrate Marathon's tenth anniversary by playing Marathon: Aleph One. If you don't currently own a copy of the original game, don't forget to download the demo files as well (available on the Aleph One page).
