time.nist.gov port 78 有趣的東西

4 Comments

提到在 time.nist.gov 的 port 78 上面有奇怪的東西：Coded messages on US govt timeserver’s nonstandard port，還猜測是 提供 publickey 給間諜的方式？XD (雖然不是很像 :p)

“In particular, the second number of the second groupings appears simply to be a second count, though what the rest of the numbers mean is unclear. It’s possible that the CIA is sending encryption keys to its spies this way, but it seems unlikely. A few of the numbers in the first grouping barely change at all over repeated pings, which would make it extremely poor key material generator.”

Google 打算試著玩 Video Hosting

想搞 Video Hosting (Home-made Video，沒有版權問題的 :p) 這塊，Larry Page ( 的發明人， 的創辦人) 在 National Cable & Telecommunications Association 公開表示他們有意願想要玩，而一般猜測這幾天應該會有正式的網站或是新聞稿出來：Google Experiments with Video Blogging ()、Google To Host Home-Video Uploads ()、Google queues up video ()、Google wants your DIY porn videos (，這個標題讓我笑出來了 XD)。

目前還不知道會怎麼做，不過如果被 做起來的話，會帶動很多產業，而 也會愈來愈邪惡…

PS：我好像還蠻期待哪天可以看到 law 可以用在 上…

P2P 在澳洲造成的影響

4 Comments

當澳洲的電視台老是晚了好幾個月 (平均八個月！) 才上映知名的節目，而語言又不是障礙時：Aussie TV Networks Fight BitTorrent ()、Impatient TV viewers turn to BitTorrent ()。

而原因居然是：

Alex Malik, a former general counsel for the Australian Recording Industry Association, generated the report. Malik believes that by delaying the broadcast of these programs, Australian TV programmers have increased the domestic demand for the shows. “As a result, impatient viewers have increasingly turned to BitTorrent to download their favorite shows,” he said.

所謂的自食惡果 :p

Google Newsgroups 在 tw.* 大量 Spam 的解法

4 Comments

Google Newsgroups 之的 spam 所以難擋是因為 NNTP-Posting-Host 是 Client IP，而有軟體會用 Open Proxy 連，造成 的 phl (NNTP-Posting-Host + Lines) 擋不住。

之前是直接把 直接送 nocem 出去擋 (Issuer: nocem@news.math.nctu.edu.tw，Type: google)，剛剛才想到因為 NNTP-Posting-Host 是 Open Proxy IP，可以用 DNSBL 去查，然後擋 Open Proxy。

不過這樣就要考慮一些東西了 (DNSBL 反解不快，可能會造成 innd 卡住)，先只用 的 sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org 做看看好了。

用完即丟的 mail address

看到 在講用完即丟的 mail address，我之前有用過一些 Disposable Email Address Services，像是 Jetable.org (剛剛發現居然有繁體中文介面) 可以自己設定這個 temporal mail address 要保留多久：24hrs/48hrs/4days/6days/8days。

對於這些用完即丟的 mail address services 也應該要小心挑，因為有些跟本是順便蒐集你的 mail address 來賣… :P 這家在 Disposable Email Address Services 的知名度還算不錯，而且也有歷史了，基本上「可能」比較可以信賴 :p

Google News 的廣告？

為什麼 沒有廣告？原因在「Google “Forgets” to put Ads in Google News?」這篇裡面提到了：

“It takes years to become profitable in terms of total dollars invested, but we don’t even think about it,” he adds. “When we started Google News, we forgot to put ads in it. It’s not deliberate. We actually forgot.”

真的忘記放了 XD 不過下面的對話很好玩，可以仔細看看 :p
