Spam in the can. Last week, an Erie County, N.Y., judge sentenced Howard Carmack of Buffalo to as many as seven years in prison for identity theft and forgery for sending hundreds of millions of spam e-mails using false addresses. He was convicted of those offenses in April. Last year ISP EarthLink in Atlanta won a multimillion dollar judgment against Carmack for those same activities. |

Not-so-quick-and-dirty patch management. You’ve got to hand it to Microsoft. The company may be the biggest problem child in the patch management space, but it's trying like heck to improve its lot. If you’re still behind in finding a centralized patch management solution for your network, I highly recommend checking out Microsoft SUS (Software Update Services). It’s central, it works, and best of all, it’s free. |

Imperva and Sentryware pad layer 7 security. Vulnerabilities in Web-based applications are a big problem, compounded by the fact that most apps are not well behaved and are usually overly complex. Solutions such as IPSes (intrusion protection systems) and application firewalls help lock down your app servers, but they have not been the security panacea many have expected them to be.

Mysterious video clip of skirmish in Middle East. (Please don't send me email about this anymore -- see red text below -- Mark) I don't know anything about this video clip, and it seems like the guy who posted it ("Eric Bruderton") doesn't really know, either. But he writes that he's afraid of losing his life for posting it. It shows some Americans in a Middle Eastern country getting shot at with rocket launchers, and they're shooting back. Then they hop in a jeep and drive away, and another vehicle chases them, shooting missiles at them. It looks real, but something about the occasional bursts of static seem like they were edited in. Could this be a stealth marketing campaign for a movie?

You’ve probably come here for answers about the clip. I wish I could give them to you. I don’t know these people, I don’t know who’s shooting at them and I don’t know why they are being targeted. I don’t even know where they are. Maybe the Middle East. All I do know is that it’s important. Important enough that by the time you’ve read this, Eric Bruderton will likely have been erased from existence, both literally and figuratively.

CarbWire's Jon Gales sez: It's a movie... Like with actors and stuff :P. That page you linked was just viral marketing. Check these links: Hollywood Reporter, Film Threat , September Tapes. It had me going too, but the faux static stuff gave it away.

No sex please -- we're Japanese. USA Today story on statistics published in a popular Japanese news magazine that point to an acute shagging deficiency throughout the country. A few BoingBoing readers (who've lived in Japan, or who are of Japanese descent) have written in to say that while the premise of this article may make for funny headlines and abundant "wacky Japanese culture" blog yuks, the truth behind the data may not be exactly what's painted here. Snip from the USA Today piece:
Only in Japan would a popular weekly newsmagazine deem it necessary to exhort the nation's youth to abstain from sexual abstinence: "Young people, don't hate sex," AERA magazine pleaded last month in a report detailing a precarious drop in sales of condoms and in business at Japan's rent-by-the-hour "love hotels."

More and more Japanese men and women are finding relationships too messy, tiring and potentially humiliating to bother with anymore. "They don't want a complicated life," says Sakai, who has written a controversial bestseller, Cry of the Losing Dogs, on the plight of unmarried Japanese thirtysomething women like herself.(...)
AERA reports that condom shipments are down 40% since 1993 (probably in part because Japan finally legalized birth-control pills in 1999) and love-hotel check-ins are off at least 20% over the past five years. What's more, an increasing number of those visiting love hotels aren't there for romance, AERA says; they've found that love hotels offer the cheapest access to karaoke machines and video games.

It's an interactive baking comedy and I'm honored Heather invited me to be the special guest cookie cook this Sunday, June 6!
"Heather searches for genuine connection as she makes the cookies through her own hilarious and provocative exploration of the recipe: heterosexuality (DRY), lesbianism (WET), the Left (MIX) and other tasty 1980s tunes and secret ingredients.... As the San Francisco Bay Guardian's Robert Avila put it, Cookie 'humorously sort[s] out the complexities of modern sexuality through baking's simple truths.'" Link

Learning Mandarin is hard for native English speakers. Jacob Sullum writes about how confusing it is for him to learn Mandarin. I can sympathize. I've been having a hard time learning Spanish this year, and it's supposedly the easiest language for English speakers to learn. From Sullum's experience described here, I'd go nuts trying to learn Mandarin.
The word ma, for instance, can mean "hemp," "scold," "horse," or "mother," depending upon whether your voice goes up, goes down, goes up and down, or remains steady. To make matters worse, the marks that signify tones in pinyin ordinarily indicate pronunciation: A flat line, for example, means a flat, high tone, not a long vowel.

Bollywood MP3 Disco Blowout Friday. Following up on this previous BoingBoing post about the Bollywood Freaks mashup "Don't Stop 'til You Get to Bollywood," BoingBoing reader Mike says:

This was only a very slightly re-tweaked version of a tune from an early 1980s Bollywood soundtrack, as sung by the well-known Indian singer Usha Uthup. (The tune's original title is "Chhupke Kaun Aya".) The Usha Uthup version has just been re-released on CD in the UK, as part of a 2CD mix set called "The Trip", mixed by Tom Middleton.
But you ain't heard nothing yet! Usha's greatest work, which dates from the same era, is the utterly INSANE "One Two Cha Cha Cha". (This also quotes from a classic disco hit.) This track is available on a 1997 compilation called "In Flight Entertainment Vol.2" - and also as an MP3 on my blog for the next week or two.

No sex please -- we're Japanese. USA Today story on statistics published in a popular Japanese news magazine that point to an acute shagging deficiency throughout the country.
Only in Japan would a popular weekly newsmagazine deem it necessary to exhort the nation's youth to abstain from sexual abstinence: "Young people, don't hate sex," AERA magazine pleaded last month in a report detailing a precarious drop in sales of condoms and in business at Japan's rent-by-the-hour "love hotels."
More and more Japanese men and women are finding relationships too messy, tiring and potentially humiliating to bother with anymore. "They don't want a complicated life," says Sakai, who has written a controversial bestseller, Cry of the Losing Dogs, on the plight of unmarried Japanese thirtysomething women like herself.(...)
AERA reports that condom shipments are down 40% since 1993 (probably in part because Japan finally legalized birth-control pills in 1999) and love-hotel check-ins are off at least 20% over the past five years. What's more, an increasing number of those visiting love hotels aren't there for romance, AERA says; they've found that love hotels offer the cheapest access to karaoke machines and video games.

Pocket mobile music meshes?. BoingBoing reader Modesty says,
The dream of sharing and streaming the music (and files) on your PDA/Phone to other PDA/phones, while tuning into your fellow train passengers' playlists is finially here.
The app described here wraps up a little web server with file sharing/streaming code, and auto-detects others running the same. So if you're on a bus, walking or whatever, you can pick up tunes from other passing people, and they can pick them up off you, all very easily (if they stick around long enough).
Now all I'm looking for is a method to borrow CPU cycles from them at the same time. Sure they can listen to my music, if I can use some of their CPU time in return. And if my PDA is sitting doing nothing, why not let them run a few calculations on it?

DRM in movie trailers prevents profitability -- nice going, Hollywood!. Quinn's little daughter Ada is totally psyched by the trailer for Two Brothers -- she even learned the word "more" so she could demand subsequent screenings. However, the dumbass DRM in the trailer means that quinn has to re-download all 19MB of the stream before it will play. Quinn can't pull the thing out of her cache or capture it -- nope, she's just gotta keep on downloading it, costing the studio more money and making Ada more and more cranky. Now, that's good business-sense.

you know why most people want to download trailers? because they want to watch them, again and again. because it excites them about paying money to see your damn movie. and they want to show them to their friends. or put them on a loop for their kid and sneak off to do wild grown up things, like cook a meal without anyone hanging onto your leg. but thankfully, your drm prevents all that.
i wish i could punish you, mr movie studio. i wish i could choose to not see your film as a way to punish you for your stupid drm. but i know which side my toast is buttered on- the kid has a sign for kitty, nothing yet for "fuck the man and his dumbass drm."
but it's coming. oh yes.

Bradbury goes nuts over Fahrenheit 9/11 title. Ray Bradbury has ripped into Michael Moore, calling him an "asshole" for "stealing" the title for Fahrenheit 9/11 from Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451. Yeesh. You'd think that someone who's worked all his life in a genre where practically everyone has written a book or story called "Nightfall" would have figured out by now that there's no copyright in title, period, end of story. God, I hate it when my literary heroes turn out to have feet of clay. This is even worse than the time that he dismissed the Internet as a scam and compared MMOs to pinball machines.

"[Moore] is a horrible human being – horrible human!"
When asked if he agrees with Moore's political positions, Bradbury replied, "That has nothing to do with it. He copied my title; that is what happened. That has nothing to do with my political opinions."

Confusingly these volumes overlap, and it is not easy to determine which are the latest, but those in his "catalog" series seem to be the most recent.
