Silently Deleting Profanity From The
Airwaves

Silently Deleting Profanity From The
Airwaves 04/26/2004 02:38 PM
Three years ago, a TV station in Pittsburgh got in trouble for using a technology to secretly cut out seconds from a football game in order to squeeze in extra commercials. They were using some technology that could squeeze out seconds here and there from the broadcast to compress the overall time needed to actually broadcast the game. Now, with the rise of the "crackdown" on broadcast profanity, radio stations are looking to use similar equipment to secretly block out profanity. The system lets radio broadcasters send out their signal with a regular time delay, as most stations already do. Rather than just bleeping out profanity, however, the system is designed to make it simply disappear and compress the show so that no listeners even know it's happening. Each time this happens, of course, the amount of delay decreases - so the box systematically adds back in additional seconds, sneaking in extra pauses that didn't really happen. Of course, as the article points out, most boxes are designed with a 20 second delay, which does no good if someone curses continuously for 20 seconds. Howard Stern, for instance, needs to string together a few of these boxes to make them work on his show.

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More 11/05/2003 01:14 PM
A new study has come out saying that, thanks to the RIAA suing everyone they can find, many people are deleting mp3s from their hard drives and using file sharing programs less. However, they also have a lower and lower opinion of the recording industry. That's all well and good, but for as much as they hate the recording industry, if they're still going out and buying the same major label music, the recording industry doesn't really care. This is, of course, short sighted, because that hatred of the recording industry means that they're probably willing to jump ship should a reasonable alternative show up. In the meantime, though, the RIAA will declare this as a victory.

Angry Developer Bites Back By Deleting
User's Data 09/14/2004 01:48 AM
<b>ultima</b> has brought up <a href='http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/04/09/13/1357202.shtml ?tid=156&tid=98&tid=8' target=_blank>a story</a> from <i>SlashDot</i> that <a href='http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=217200' target=_blank>raised a controversial ethical concern</a> on how far can software owners go with the End-User License Agreement (EULA).

An independent software developer of a Mac program called <i>Echelon</i> bites back at users who pirated his software by deleting their Home Directory (some what equivalent to the profile folder on Windows) if a pirated serial was entered.

Regardless to a more dominating angry response, some users actually approved this decision by arguing that the terms have been mentioned on the EULA which was agreed to by the users. Even with that being said, does this make it "okay" for developers to cross the line? Better yet, where exactly do you draw the line?

Echelon is an MPEG1/2 converter that supports a number of different formats. According to the product's web site, the software has been discontinued due to the lack of support (read: piracy) but legitimate customers may still seek product support via email.

FeedDemon, RSS and cookies

FeedDemon, RSS and cookies 08/18/2004 10:25 AM

I've recently had a a few people ask whether FeedDemon supports the use of cookies, and the answer is, "yes, it does."

The most obvious use of this is to require a login before returning any information, and I've seen this done by several feeds already. Unfortunately, some of them redirect to an HTML page when the login cookie isn't found, which obviously won't work since FeedDemon is trying to download RSS, not HTML. So, if you use cookie-based authentication, don't redirect to an HTML page - instead, dynamically create an RSS <item> which includes a link to the login page.

Safari Newsflash: PHP-Nuke Cookie Bug
Fixed 03/19/2003 10:28 PM

Maciej fixed the infamous cookie bug last night, so PHP-Nuke sites will now work properly. Quoting Maciej:

I have a fix for the infamous PHP-Nuke login bug. It should be in the next release. Here's the short version: the Netscape cookie spec says when a cookie comes from a URL like "http://www.foo.com/user.php" and no path is explicitly specified, then the path should default to "/user.php". However, it actually needs to default to "/", because that's what all real browsers do. Don't you love the web?

Another bug bites the dust! :)

Undeleting Cookies Or Just Spyware?

Undeleting Cookies Or Just Spyware? 04/05/2005 07:23 PM
Cookie technology is often misunderstood. It is quite useful, and it's unlikely to be misused widely. In fact, even the various tracking cookies that some spyware programs highlight aren't really that bad. Still, if you want to delete your cookies, you should certainly be allowed to do so. However, just as reports are coming out claiming that an awful lot of people are deleting their cookies regularly, some company has come up with a technology that secretly restores deleted cookies on the theory that users are too stupid to understand cookies and that they probably didn't want them deleted in the first place. Beyond being obnoxious, this certainly sounds like it could be illegal. As Mitch Wagner explains in the article linked above: "So let's review, shall we? PIE inserts itself on machines without the user's permission. (spyware) It tracks the user's behavior without the user's permission. (spyware) It reports that information back to the licensee of the software. (spyware) And it blocks users' attempts to disable tracking. (spyware) If only there was a (spyware) word to describe software that behaves in that fashion." We can hope this is just an April Fool's joke gone wrong, but it sounds like the company might just be serious.
