Jeopardy - The stupid cheat







Jeopardy - The stupid cheat

Jeopardy - The stupid cheat 08/11/2004 11:56 AM

Although I hadn't watched Jeopardy in maybe 20 years, a couple of weeks ago I watched a few featuring Ken Jennings, the million-dollar smart guy. Very impressive. And it struck me how they're cheating... Watch some reruns before Jennings was on. The questions were much easier. Having dumber questions favors any contestant who is outlandishly smarter than the others. So, while it's not quite cheating, it does tilt the board toward Jennings and lets him run up $50,000 daily totals leaving the other contestants with nothing but a snapshot of Alex Trebeck and a tune they can't get out of...

Whew: HTML View/Source Not in Jeopardy


Whew: HTML View/Source Not in Jeopardy 08/27/2004 01:27 PM
Brendan Eich offers welcome reassurances in a posting entitled "Ev eryone remain calm" -- an explanation of the (thankfully) short-lived idea to remove the ability to view the HTML source code of a Mozilla-based Web page. He says, in part:
Throughout the explosive growth of the web, View / Source has played a crucial role, hard to appreciate if you dumb down your user model based on myopic hindsight and a static analysis of the majority cohort of "end users". Anyway, I wanted to reassure everyone, from our top Gecko hackers to interested web developers to enthusiastic surfers, that Firefox is not about to implode into a bare-bones, ultra-minimalist browser that those important hackers, et al., can't use. Firefox cannot be "all things to all people" without at least some people having to configure an extension or two, but the default features should support the crucial user bases.

Intelli Innovations Inc. announced on Wednesday the release of IntelliScanner Cordless Collector, a barcode reader that incorporates Bluetooth technology. It's based on the company's IntelliScanner Collector USB Barcode Reader, which features the ability to scan barcodes found on books, DVDs, music CDs, games and other media.

ccbeauty.jpg imageThe Cordless Collector is a Bluetooth bar code reader that stores up to 250 barcodes at a time as you scan your own media, adding them wireless to the included MacOSX 'Collector' software that looks up the codes on the internet to help you build and categorize detailed lists of things you already own. So while for the less thorough among us won't find much use for it, the Cordless Collector could be a big help to those with massive CD and DVD collections (and who have friends that don't like to return things they've borrowed), small retail businesses, or people that just like to know exactly how many cans of french cut green beans they own at any given time.

Revisiting Barcode Replacement Satire


Revisiting Barcode Replacement Satire 05/11/2004 03:16 PM
A little over a year ago there was a huge media frenzy over a site that let people view and print out barcodes. It was really just a database of barcodes, but the site presented a satirical commercial showing how you could use the site to "name your own price" and re-code any product to a price you preferred. Of course, actually doing the re-coding would be illegal. Running a database telling people how seems perfectly legal... unless you're lawyers at a big company like Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart and a number of other big companies forced the site to shut down, and the folks have now set up the site as a Wal-Mart spoof. John submitted a story about the whole mess one year later. It sounds like those involved didn't expect the level of backlash they got - especially from the press who labeled them as the thieves. Still, they've now got other plans up their sleeves for satirical projects.
