Two HIV Cases Put a Scare Into P9rn
(LATimes) Several major adult movie companies — including the
industry's largest, Vivid — have decided to stop filming for 60 days
after two stars tested positive for HIV. But other companies dismissed
the plea for a moratorium, calling it "paranoid" and
"knee-jerk," and vowed to keep their cameras
rolling. The industry, they said, was perfectly safe."I'm
against any stop in production," said a producer "It
will put a lot of people out of business. You'll have people who will
start losing their apartments. It's just not fair."
When do adult movies (a<
/a> hugely profitable busi
ness where unprotected sex is often performed) end being sexy and
start being "Russian Roulette on dvd" scary?
The two actors who have tested positive for the HIV virus are
identified as Darren James and Lara Roxx. Roxx (who's 18 or 19)
had only
been in the adult industry for three months. 45 actors and
actresses who subsequently either worked with James or the women he
had sex with after contracting the virus, which is believed to have
occurred in Brazil (where, incidentally, star and director
John
Stagliano -- not completely work-safe link -- says he caught AIDS
in 1997), have been identified, too. warning: except the Stagliano
link, all the others are work-safe.

Mortgage lenders are putting home buyers into so-called

McAllister reported last weekend. The lenders pushing such deals are
irresponsible because they're encouraging a dangerous kind of debt.

05/11/2004 04:34 PMBack before I left Kinja, Gina and I made a bet about the ads on the
Kinja site -- how long before non-text ads appear? Advertising has
never been one of my favorite revenue models for a web site, and when
we made the decision to go down that road at Kinja, it was with
reservation that I agreed. Too often web sites allow the ads to run
amok, ruining the experience of the site. But in discussing the ad
approach, we agreed that we'd use text ads, and limit their placement.
It sounded like a way that ads could work without ruining the
experience of Kinja: reading.
But all you have to do is look at Nick's Gawker Media properties
(Gawker, Gizmodo, Wonkette,
etc.) to see that our view of advertising -- and belief of when
advertising has run amok -- are not aligned. And I knew it was simply
a matter of time after my departure that gaudier, flashier ads would
appear on Kinja. So Gina and I decided to place a wager on exactly how
long that would be. Alas, there were no winners, because we couldn't
disagree about how long it would take. We both knew it would be fast.
And we both bet it would be less than a month. I've been gone two
weeks and two days from Kinja, and there's already a giant CNet ad
right in the middle of the digests. Blech.

Betting on the big questions of physics
Betting on the big questions of physics
08/27/2004 01:46 PM
David Pescovitz:
British bookmaker Ladbrokes is now accepting wagers on the future of
physics. They've opened a book on:
* Understanding the origin of cosmic rays by 2010 (4/1
odds)
* The ATLAS experiment at CERN finding the Higgs Boson by 2010 (6/1
odds)
* The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)
detecting gravitational waves by 2010 (10/1 odds)
* Building a fusion power station by 2010 (100/1 odds)
Anyone can place bets on these breakthroughs during the next two
weeks. Apparently, New Scientist magazine is also involved in the
gamble, dedicating ten pages to it in the print edition.
“I’d be tempted to take a bet on the Higgs at
6-1,” says Brian Foster who heads the particle physics group at
the University of Oxford in the UK. “I’ve been quite
instrumental in betting the taxpayers’ money on us finding it,
so I’d better put my money where my mouth
is.”

Online Betting Routes Around Bookies
Online Betting Routes Around Bookies
11/03/2003 01:28 PMThere used to be a lot of hype about how the internet was going to do
away with the need for "middlemen". It turns out that never happened,
because there actually are reasons why many middlemen exist. However,
if the internet can make things more efficient, or move some of the
burden around, then it probably does make sense. That appears to be
what's happening in the UK with
an online betting site that takes bookies
out of the equation and lets people connect directly to one
another to make bets on sporting events. Whereas a bookie makes money
on the odds they set, this site just takes a commission off of
winnings, letting the people making the best set their own odds. In
other words, it's a real exchange, modeled on the stock market, with
buyers looking for sellers (and vice versa) as opposed to one central
bookmaker taking bets based on odds they set.

TypeKey FAQ
TypeKey FAQ
04/27/2004 09:32 PMTypeKey:
Here's a pretty extensive FAQ on TypeKey — the Microsoft
Passport-ish blog comment authentication service from Six Apart. It's
a central authentication service which allows you to log in to TypeKey
and use that identitiy to post to multiple blogs. They provide a good
example:
Alice visits Bob's weblog for the first time and wishes to leave a
comment. Bob only allows comments by registered users on his weblog.
So, to leave a comment, Alice signs up for TypeKey and posts a comment
to Bob's weblog using that identity.
Because Bob requires his approval of comments by all new registered
visitors, the comment doesn't appear on Bob's site until he approves
Alice as an allowed commenter. Once he's done that, Alice's comments
automatically appear, and any future comments that she makes appear
right away as well.
Now Alice goes to Carol's weblog. Carol also allows comments by
registered users only. Alice signs in using her existing TypeKey
account and posts a comment to Carol's weblog, which goes into Carol's
moderation queue, because this is Alice's first comment on her
weblog.
But Alice hates Carol, so she left a nasty comment! Carol receives
the comment via email, and doesn't like the tone of it. So she logs
into Movable Type and bans Alice from posting comments to her
weblog.
Alice is now banned from posting comments to Carol's weblog, but
she is still allowed to post comments to Bob's weblog.
It's worth reading if you're going to move to Movable Type 3.0.
There's a lot of information in there,

More on the Typekey upgrade...
05/16/2004 12:18 PMSo my installation of Movable Type has never been the simplest of
things. I've had to use cgiwrap to avoid some of the more arcane
problems with pair's process throttling and I've got MT installed in a
completely different directory and domain to my site. For someone with
as little overt server knowledge as myself, this means that every time
something's supposed to be a simple installation or adaptation
process, everything goes completely wrong. This is all by way of me
saying that I've still got lots of problems around the place with
integrating the Typekey
registration system, including but not limited to it randomly not
working, having lots of really nasty preview screens that remain
totally untemplated and generally feeling more than a little rough
around the edges. I'll endeavour to get it all sorted out this evening
so that the Monday morning crowd don't start snarking out at me...

TypeKey still broken
04/16/2005 09:44 PMI can't tell you how bummed out I am that TypeKey doesn't seem to
want to work for me. I've had several folks look at it - oh well.
So I'd like to reach out to Don Park - as the guy I just
signed a deal with in Korea is named Park and then there's Troutgirl
(who WON'T be my friend on Y 360) and so many other Parks, Kims and
Lees. And I won't even get into the Moons.
I heard that the reason why there are so many of these common names
- is that as Korea was leaving the fuedal era - these names were the
cheapest ones to buy - for theserfs - as they sought out last
names.
For many centuries lower caste people were not allowed last
names.
So YES - I'll be returning to Korea - YES - I want to meet
everyone's friends and hang - and I especially want to meet the
OhMyNews folks.
I really dug Korea. The cyber culture is highly evolved in the
masses - the whole place is a perculator petrie dish.
