To Whom it May Concern:

My initial response to your threats of legal action ("Go fuck yourself") did not address the irony of this situation. Allow me to educate you.

I had the DeCSS source up on copkiller.org for about a week, way back when all of your threats were just starting. I voluntarily removed it because the administrator of Dimensional was already receiving grief from people upset about the nature of my page, and I felt that he shouldn't have to take any more problems on my behalf. Since DeCSS has not been available on copkiller.org for quite some time (what is it now, a year?), I can only assume that you're basing your "knowledge" off of a few lists cirulating around the internet.

The irony, of course, is this: now that you've decided to come after me (albeit extremely late) for DeCSS, I plan to link to a lycos search on decss.zip. Note that this is a link to a search engine, not to a particular file, and you'll damn well have to drag me to court to get a ruling on it. If Dimensional wants me to remove the link (and by this I mean *Dimensional*, not MPAA or its slime-sucking lawyers), I will do so immediately and without question, but this will not stop me from hosting the actual DeCSS file from a country with smarter laws, nor will it stop me from distributing the file via other means.

Let me spell out the irony for you: I've had little actual interest in DeCSS since it all started, but now you've renewed that interest, and I can fully assure you that I will not let this matter go.

As such, DeCSS is an = unlawful circumvention device within the meaning of the Digital = Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 1201(a)(2),(3).

The irony, of course, is this: now that you've decided to come after me (albeit extremely late) for DeCSS, I plan to link to a lycos search on decss.zip. Note that this is a link to a search engine, not to a particular file, and you'll damn well have to drag me to court to get a ruling on it. If Dimensional wants me to remove the link (and by this I mean *Dimensional*, not MPAA or its slime-sucking lawyers), I will do so immediately and without question, but this will not stop me from hosting the actual DeCSS file from a country with smarter laws, nor will it stop me from distributing the file via other means.

Let me spell out the irony for you: I've had little actual interest in DeCSS since it all started, but now you've renewed that interest, and I can fully assure you that I will not let this matter go.

To Whom it May Concern:

My initial response to your threats of legal action ("Go fuck yourself") did not address the irony of this situation. Allow me to educate you.

I had the DeCSS source up on copkiller.org for about a week, way back when all of your threats were just starting. I voluntarily removed it because the administrator of Dimensional was already receiving grief from people upset about the nature of my page, and I felt that he shouldn't have to take any more problems on my behalf.

Unfortunately, Tripod allows users to pick names which contain underscores, and then uses them as labels within the DNS; this is in contravention of RFC 1034 sec 3.5, which states:

The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. (my emphasis)

This doesn't often cause much of a problem for most people, since most systems are properly "liberal in what they accept, and conservative in what they send" ; however, in my experience, some systems have problems with the broken names, notably some firewall software.

I suppose somebody should point this out to Tripod, really.

For general stuff about dynamic sites, as well as pretty much everything else web design related, you might find some useful articles on webmonkey. Its unbiased in terms of platforms and has information on programming, serverside stuff and design. Pretty much all the web stuff I do started from things I read there.

Read that article...it describes some of Lerach's tactics in detail, tactics which you can bet your ass he and his partners will employ against VA Linux. (He once sued Sun Microsystems simply because he got left out of a $30M lawsuit settlement; Sun eventually had to pay him $1.5M just to get him to go away.) And check out this Fortune sidebar, too...not even Pikachu is safe from this man...

But he can be beaten...just check out this article...

Seems they figure its a good way to get more branded info infront of the MD and get on their good side - so they write perscriptions for the Real Stuff not some cheap Generic Equiv.

Oh, yes. It's scary the way drug companies court doctors and hospitals. (Even veternarians, too, to a lesser extent.) For example, for one new allergy drug the makers sponsored a seminar: "the invitation included round-trip airfare to California, accommodations at a luxury hotel, and a participation fee of $1,000..."

The PDR on springboard looks pretty interesting!

Tom Swiss | the infamous tms | http://www.infamous.net/

If Internet advertising moves to commercials and annoying pop-ups, I'm sure that people are going to become more annoyed with it. After all, the promise of the Internet is fast access to a huge collection of information. If you get in people's way when they need to look something up quickly - as banner ads can sometimes do - they're gonna be pissed off. Jeffrey Veen has a great article discussing deceptive banners at Webmonkey and how they may garner more clickthroughs but end up agitating potential customers. I'm waiting for the day that people stop trying to commercialize the web, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Way back before Wired's online presence got bought out by Lycos, they experimented with this format. The interstitial ads were everywhere on the site, but were perhaps most annoying when trying to get to their "Threads" discussions (long since gone). There was an overwhelmingly negative response. One friend of mine went as far as to inject ads for his own nascent web design company into his posts on their discussion groups, then crow, "Let's see how you like it!"

The problem is that regardless of what streaming multimedia enthusiasts would have you believe, the web is most often used like a big phone book. Or a magazine. Sure, more often than not, the magazine is Hustler, but people are flipping through indexes (Yahoo, Google, Alta Vista, AskJeeves, MySimon) to find the content they really want (porn, home electronics, news, music). It's not like a TV where we expect a certain show to be on a certain channel at a certain time, which is exactly what makes television ads work. Banner ads are, in some sense, more appropriate than interstitial ones because they look more like magazine ads.

The only reason magazine-style ads don't work in the online world is because display technology has such a long way to go. Think about the number, density, and (comperable) quality of the quarter or half page ads in the average color glossy monthly publication. Think about putting something like on a single web page, so that you could get ad and content on the screen simultaneously, without compromising the readability or navigability of either. It's enough to give a web designer fits.

Ironically, it looks like Wired has gone back to interstitial ads on their Hotwired site. Pity. It's a long time since that site has been useful for anything (other than as a portal to Webmonkey, Wired, or what appears to be their biggest advertiser, but I remember when there was some pretty good political and social commentary on that site. Sigh.

Here' an article on site optimization I wrote a couple of years ago.

Ok, now this I gotta see. Here's yahoo's results:

• Black Bear Design - Design professional web sites for affordable rates. All artwork is custom artwork; no clip art is used.

I also tried google, and their results are pretty good also.

What's amazing is that someone would post such a comment and not even bother trying the search. Come on, it's pretty damn simple.

Anyway, Hotbot now belongs to Lycos, and they stopped giving away e-mail accounts ages ago. Then the other day I got e-mail saying they're shutting down all the @hotbot.com addresses, and telling everybody to head over to Lycos. To quote the e-mail: MUST READ: YOUR HOTBOT ACCOUNT WILL BE DISCONTINUED ON JANUARY 31, 2001

I know it wasn't a popular mailer, still, it's the first one I've known of which has actually pulled the plug.

Without making any claims that it will find the file you want, I suggest anyone pining for archie head over to:

http://ftpsearch.lycos.com

(make sure you type http, otherwise some browsers will assume you want ftp protocol)

-Alex

Archie wasn't restricted to telnet, there was a rather nice X11 client called xarchie. I used to locate all public domain (the original quaint term for open source) software this way, back in '93.

There is an FTP search facility on Lycos.

There is no connection whatsoever between the availability of land and income tax. Please check out this link for some facts on the history of the income tax in the United States.

The poor also receive more in tax-funded benefits than rich people. Perhaps there is some logic in taxing them more. The government is effectively saying to the poor that, by being poor, they have demonstrated a lack of money management skills. Therefore, the government must take their money away in taxes and manage it for them. Only by doing this can it be ensured that the poor will still get some sort of health care (or other social safety net benefit such as social security) even after blowing their paychecks on beer.

We can credit W3C for being forward-looking, but I expect that CSSMP will go the way of WAP.

Perhaps not. I believe the point of this newly crafted subset of CSS2 is to provide a stable reference for useful functions that ought to be in mobile devices (meaning ultra-portable devices with limited display capabilities, and not meaning laptops which might have better display capabilities than many quite old desktop computer layouts with small VGA monitors which are still in use throughout the world).

This area is of keen interest to me, and after the long agony with simple HTML 3.2/4.0[1]+ and with CSS1 through the still not-quite-totally-there CSS2, any way to avoid any more standards wrangling will come as a great relief to those of us who have to actually do this stuff for a living. I'd imagine that XSLT 1.0+ engines will do much of the actual work, and it really helps to be able to more or less reuse all that existing work with a near-exact subset of CSS2.

Anyways, I'm back (in a few minutes, after a little more procrastination) to figuring out how to most efficiently split up parts of (simple for now) XML documents for later Java/Python XML/XSLT processing, while allowing simpler, more immediate PHP 4.0+ XML processing. Argh ....

We have all seen the MP3/CD players like the Mambo-X, the MPTrip, amd the Philips eXpanium. These are far more useful than standalone MP3-only players (despite being bulkier, of course). But what would be really cool is a software implementation, for your PC's CD-ROM drive.

Why, you ask? well, not all PC's have sound cards. Especially at work - my only source of entertainment is the CD player on my PC and it would be keen to have a mass of MP3's (er, ripped from my legitimate collection of CDs ;) to listen to.

Such a software app would have to read the MP3's from the drive, and redirect the audio to the CD-rom's audio output. Some combination of Sonique and Axialis. How difficult is this to do? has it already been done?

we could even hack it to run on Wince and subvert the Auto-PC :)

Call around NYC or call Allaire and ask who the best cold fusion developer in NY is and you'll get one answer. Plus, his company doesn't do any design at all, all backend.

We started by creating a test page with all 216 colors. We placed a 60 x 60 GIF in the center of a table cell with CELLPADDING=10 and BGCOLOR set to the same HEX value as the GIF. What we're hoping for is that the little square GIF in the center will be identical to the color of the cell. If we can see the square -- even in the slightest degree -- it means that something went wrong.

Unfortunately, with Netscape 4.61 on an HP-UX TrueColor display (visual), 7 of the 22 really safe colors display GIF-BGCOLOR mismatches. Of course, some of the supposedly non-safe colors may work OK on my display, but if you're trying to be truly cross-platform, the number is reduced to 15 safe colors.

What really bugs me recently is not color mismatches, but sites which have some sort of horizontal bar with many repeating vertical color streaks. It looks really ugly and I've seen it on a number of sites, so it seems to be more of a browser problem. Perhaps it's CSS that Netscape 4.x doesn't understand correctly?

• PHP - This is the site that started it all. Make sure to check out the documentation section.
• Webmonkey PHP Tutorial - This site is great for getting started with PHP and MySQL.
• PHP Builder - My favorite site about PHP. Lots of good examples and a great message board for all your programming needs!
• Zend - This site is a great portal for more PHP resources.

Hope these sites help out.

But, it is hilarious...

P.S. Yes, I know it's considered bad form to point out when a /. story is out of date, but this one is even worse because the story says that they just released it...

This sounds pretty silly, but go to Lycos' FTP Search and type in DeCSS and boom, DeCSS.zip is the first thing you find.

This whole thing is starting to get that "I am so sick of it I am gonna vomit" Lewinski feel to it.

...or better yet:

FTPSearch

• Excite
• Infos eek
• Lycos
• Webcrawler
• Looksmart
• Google
• Yahoo

Are these search engines breaking the law?

If you're looking for the "free DOC encoder", it might be a little hard to find, because it got bought out by Aportis a few years ago. (For obvious reasons, they "encouraged" the author to stop distributing free software.) However, the GPL means that all distributed versions are still Free. Visit ftpsearch and look for makedoc7.cpp. Alternatively, it is included on the O'Reilly Palm book CD. (You can get ORA titles for ~40% off at bookpool, so this book and its CD is a pretty good deal.)

Exactly...trying to learn to make all those characters certainly puts more than 'normal' wear on that area. :-)
Besides, if you got rid of it, how would you do this?
