Password Recycling

Password Recycling 07/20/2004 07:39 AM

Why registration-sites suck: Boing Boing links to a story on Wired about registration at news sites. The article is okay, but Boing Boing's comments ring very, very true:

The point that everyone seems to miss is that no one can possibly keep track of a thousand passwords for a thousand websites, which means that these sites undoubtably contain recycled passwords [...]

The more you recycle a password, the higher the likelihood that you will use it in a sensitive context — a bank site, a message board, an IM client, an auction site — where someone might impersonate you or even commit identity theft crimes against you.

Okay, raise your hands, how many of you have a "standard" password that you use all over the place? Everyone does it. Show me someone that uses a different password for every registration or account and I'll show you a liar.

I know a friend that has a group of passwords that he uses based on context — one password for throwaway Web site registration, one for email accounts, one for IM, one for sensitive stuff like banking, etc.

What if someone at one of these services decides to take your password and see where else it might work? Yes, I know the passwords should be hashed when stored in their database, but there's no guarantee that they're going to do that.

How may of you have a password stored in some service or Web site that you've long-since forgotten about that would also work in, say, your bank's Web site?

Recycling Perfected -- but Formalized?

Recycling Perfected -- but Formalized? 03/08/2004 11:26 PM

Questions of the day: Hip-hop artists and DJs have long made a practice of inviting remixes by releasing acapella or instrumental tracks. What stops them from formalizing that invitation with, say, a CC license? Is it that the music-biz lawyers want to reserve the right to hold remixers hostage, in the event they start to become too successful, or stray too far aesthetically? If that's not the explanation, what is? There's something about the practice that's reminiscent of the Speakeasy or back-room gambling joint: when a vibrant sampling underground is uncovered, copyright holders are shocked, shocked to learn the law has been broken.

Related news: The New York Times today inventoried the growing catalog of Jay-Z mash-ups, from the oh-so-scandalous Grey Album *(Jay-Z + Beatles) to Double Black Album (Jay-Z + Metallica), plus about ten more. I'm glad the whole controversy has everyone talking about copyright and art, but it's a shame that the Grey Album has gotten all the attention. Some of these other mashes are better-executed as records, in my view, if less grand in high concept. I think Illmind's Black and Tan Album works pretty well, for example, even though its samples are less familiar than the Grey Album's.

All this makes it more striking to hear people say that remixing is not music, that the manipulation of sound recordings is less worthy an art form than the manipulation of abstract notes and rhythms. Of course rock-and-roll once faced the same criticism -- it wasn't real music. And then came the Beatles, who by no means invented rock but certainly perfected it, so that even the old foagies eventually came to take its merit for granted. Will it require a masterpiece of mash for remix culture finally to win legitimacy? Who will be the Beatles of bricolage?

Recycling Printer Cartridges

Recycling Printer Cartridges 03/19/2003 10:45 PM

Thanks to a company called Enviro Solutions, SLS is now recycling all used inkjet and laser printer cartridges, including any that staff want to bring in from home.

"We provide you with free, postage paid, collection and shipping materials along with complete instructions. You simply choose the method, or combination of methods, that works best for you, and get paid for your efforts. Millions of new cartridges are sold each year, 86% end up in our landfills as trash. Start recycling today for a better tomorrow!

We will recycle all ink jet and laser cartridges sent to us and pay you for those that qualify for cash back ( please see the programs pages for a list of qualifying cartridges). These are no risk, no cost programs with no 'minimum' commitment required from you. We provide free collection materials. The programs are simple, easy, problem free, and self sustaining with little or no supervision. We ship anywhere in the United States and Canada."

Very cool, since we haven't become a paperless office yet.  ;-)   You may want to consider doing this at your library, too.

Mark Frauenfelder: Bruce Sterling sent me a copy of No Waste, a free booklet published by Pentagram Design about the ingenious re-use of stuff by Cubans. In a country where new appliances and vehicles are unheard of, resourceful people are turning soda cans into mousetraps, glue bottles into toy cars, plastic jugs into taxi lights, and fumigator engines into motorcycles. These "objects of necessity" are works of wonder. You can get a free copy of the book by emailing Pentagram.
