Excuses Make Poor Glue

Excuses Make Poor Glue 05/19/2004 04:38 AM

Six Apart's new gravy-train license for MT lasted only a day.  With new changes, it's looking a lot more bearable to MT users.  While I respect their fast response to criticisms, I think the worst of the damages, loss of trust and sense of betrayal, are not reversable unfortunately.

I also question the wisdom of emphasizing misunderstandings and miscommunications when the former places the blame squarely on the MT users and the later undermines Six Apart's competence.  Whether true or not, I don't think excuses are very effective in situations like the one they are in.

If I was running Six Apart, I would have just pleaded temporary idiocy and begged for forgiveness instead of serving a string of weak excuses which just end up as fodder for suspicion.

The Latest In Lie Detecting

The Latest In Lie Detecting 11/05/2003 02:55 AM
Everybody knows that the old polygraph test is a joke that isn't particularly accurate. So, the next question is whether or not it's possible to build a system that can actually catch people telling a lie? It looks like there are a lot of different projects underway to invent the next generation of lie detector. Researchers are trying out all different methods, many of them sponsored by the Department of Defense. There are certainly a number of ethical issues with "looking into someone's mind", but the researchers appear to have come to terms with those issues (or, perhaps we should test them on their own machines to see how they feel on that issue...).

Detecting Photoshop Hacks

Detecting Photoshop Hacks 07/29/2004 06:47 PM

For Doctored Photos, a New Flavor of Digital Truth Serum: A group of folks out at Dartmouth College are breaking new ground in the art of detecting if images have been altered or not. You just can't believe a picture anymore. Especially not on this site.

For example, when two images are spliced together — like the picture of a shark attacking a helicopter that has circulated around the Internet in the past few years — one or both of the original pictures usually has to be shrunk, enlarged or rotated to make the pieces fit together. And those changes, no matter how artful, leave clues behind.

Take a picture that is 10 pixels by 10 pixels, for a total of 100. Stretch it to 10 by 20 pixels, and image-editing software like Adobe Photoshop will assign the picture's original pixels to every other slot in the new picture. That leaves 100 pixels "blank," or without values. Image-editing software fills in the gaps by examining what their neighbors look like, and then applying an average. To oversimplify, if pixel A is blue, and pixel C is red, the blank pixel B will become purple.

Pocket Breathalizer with UV Detector

Pocket Breathalizer with UV Detector 06/14/2004 02:44 PM

Pocket Breathalizers are a dime a dozen these days, but this combo one has an extra ultraviolet detector on the tail end, so you can tell not only when you're too drunk to drive, but when you should be sipping that umbrella drink under an umbrella. $20 or so will get you one, although I don't know if UK retailer SilverCandy imports to the US. I'm tempted, though -- I've always been curious how much UV I get underneath a subway bench.

Auto-Detecting Driver Installers

Auto-Detecting Driver Installers 09/06/2004 11:15 PM

Here's a trend I'm seeing in driver downloads from hardware manufacturers: they're bundling drivers into one file that detects your hardware and installs the right driver. (Mind you, while I'm just noticing this trend, it's probably been around for years...I'm not all that perceptive...)

I got a new machine this week, and it came with a 128MB NVidia GeForce Ti video card (insert sounds of Tim Allen going "Argh-h-h" here...). To get the driver for it, NVidia just has you pick your product line ("GeForce," for instance) and you get a 61MB download with, I guess, every driver for that line. It's an executable that figures out what card you have, and installs it. You can then toss the installer.

The machine came with a Sound Blaster Audigy card as well. Same deal here, with a twist. The download was a little executable that detected the card, then downloaded the correct driver from Creative's site and installed it.

You're sacrificing download size for the sake of not having to figure out what hardware you have. The app saves you the trouble, but you end up downloading 10- or 20-times what you need.

I personally love it, but, then again, I have broadband.
