Selling Academic Edition Software
07/15/2004 07:01 PMI'm trying to find a good deal on Dreamweaver MX 2004,
since I don't want to drop $400 on it (I'm cheap). I head over to
eBay to see what I can find, and see lots of dealls for $200 -
$300.
However, every single one of these deals is for the academic
version of the product — the one where students and educators
can use it at a reduced price. I emailed one of the guys to ask how
he knew I was a student. His response:
I don't know and I don't care. That's between you and
Macromedia.
Nice. This must be a huge problem for software companies, because
there's a lively business going on selling academic versions as the
"real" thing. Since there's nothing but the honor system standing
between a buyer and some cheap software, I'm sure a lot of people
suddenly become "students" for the 15 minutes it takes to make the
purchase.
Being the stand-up guy I am, I passed. Anyone know where I can get
it cheaper than $400?

Reputation systems academic paper
Reputation systems academic paper
07/19/2004 11:47 AMThe current issue of First Monday has a thorough academic article on
reputation systems.
The sharing of observations and opinions builds up a picture in each
person’s mind of the reputation’s subject, which we might
call the "Invisible Eye" — the distributed formation of
reputations, and consequent increased ability to distinguish better
from worse. To the degree that you have access to and trust the
experience of others, it is almost as if you yourself had been there
watching that previous situation, thus increasing your base of
experience from which to judge future reliability — and
increasing pressure on the subject in question to behave responsibly.
The analogy to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand is not accidental;
just as selfish local actions with market incentives can lead to
collectively efficient behavior, locally maximizing actions with
reputation incentives have the potential for similar guided emergent
behavior that exceeds what might have been designed by a conscious
planner.
The ultimate aim is to increase the level of collective wisdom through
sharing our separate experience and expertise. This will enable a
"division of experience" — instead of each of us personally
suffering through scams, cheats, and mediocrity, we will be able to
leverage each other’s experiences. Collectively, aided by
astutely networked reputation systems, we stand the best chance of
overcoming our dark side and bringing out the best in us.

makes available databases of academic web links to the world research
community. This project was created in response to the need for
research into web links: including web link mining, and the creation
of link metrics. It is aimed at providing the raw data and software
for researchers to analyse link structures without having to rely upon
commercial search engines, and without having to run their own web
crawler. You may use all of the resources on this site for
non-commercial reasons provided that you notify them if you have an
academic paper or book published that uses the data in any way (so
that they know the site is getting good use). This will be added to

Japan jails academic for writing P2P app
Japan jails academic for writing P2P app
05/10/2004 05:53 AMA Japanese academic who wrote an anonymous P2P app has been arrested
for "abetting infringement." This is the kind of perversion of justice
we're accustomed to seeing in the US and Norway -- disappointing that
the Japanese have so thoroughly bridged the copyright hysteria gap.
The programmer faces three years in prison for writing code that
allows for anonymous file-transfers. We can only hope that the team
that led Microsoft's operating-system effort will be next, followed by
the AppleShare team and the pesky authors of ftp.
Mr Isamu Kaneko, a 33-year-old assistant professor at the prestigious
University of Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of developing and
offering free downloads on his Web site file-sharing software called
Winny, Kyoto Prefectural (state) police said on condition of
anonymity.
He is also accused of helping two Japanese men arrested in November on
charges of disseminating movies and games on the Internet with Winny,
police said.

Strings, revisited
Strings, revisited

design for Parrot. It was a mixed bag--the per-string language tag is
gone (darn!) but national character sets stay (yay!) with a set of
"It's all Unicode no matter what you say" string ops thrown into the
mix. Like any other engineering task with multiple conflicting
requirements and strong proponents of different schemes, it's safe to
say that everyone's unhappy with the result, but I think everyone can
make do with what we have. What ultimately resulted, if you don't feel
like going and looking up the post...

OPML Revisited
03/14/2005 05:44 PM
OPML is a simple, widely used,
yet often misunderstood,
XML format created by Dave Winer. IMHO, misunderstandings
stem from overexposure
to traditional ways of using XML. I must admit, I also
laughed at OPML when
I first looked at it years ago. But when I cocked my head (a
technique anyone
can learn from their dogs), it began to make a lot of sense.
This is what I saw:
Infoset:
-
An OPML document is a collection of objects.
-
An object may have properties and contents.
-
An object's properties are unordered map of name/value pairs.
-
An object's contents are ordered list of objects.
Syntax:
-
Objects are encoded as XML elements named 'outline'.
-
Properties are encoded as XML attributes.
-
Content objects are encoded as child XML elements.
Once you get this picture in your mind, you start to appreciate
OPML more. Throw
in display and interaction semantics builted into the format along
with distributed
object linking and embedding Dave often raves about and you got
quite a beast of a
language.
As to the question of who defines the properties, the answer is
everybody does.
OPML is a kind of Emergent Markup Language in that common
properties are expected
to emerge through industry practices rather than
standardization through committees.
There are some shortcomings with OPML though which I would like to
see addressed.
OPML Wiki
OPML needs a wiki for OPML developers to interact with each other
and to document
how each of them are using OPML so that standard or type-specific
properties may emerge.
Structured Properties
One weakness of XML is that, while elements may
be structured, attributes
may not. Since properties are encoded as XML attributes in
OPML, (semi) structured
properties (i.e. HTML fragments) have to be encoded at the cost of
readability.
I think the need for a wiki is far more serious than the need for
structured property
support.
