Matt 對 WordPress 這次事情的說明

1 Comment

(目前這件事情的負責人) 對這次事情的說明：A Response to the Noise，下面的 comments 的話就暫時不用看好了 (已經破百了)。

光看本文就覺得在看閱讀測驗 (不斷的重複某些論點)，尤其最近每個禮拜都在考研究所考試，快瘋掉了 -_-

一開始說明了為什麼會去放這些頁面：

To thrive as an independent project WordPress needs to be self-sufficient.

說他不知道這些頁面包含了高關鍵字的廣告 (像是石綿)：

I did not know they had mesowhatever/asbestos content on them until Andy Baio messaged me.

同時他也撤掉了相關的頁面，並將這些贊助退回去：

In any case everything has been taken down and I’m seeing if I can refund what they’ve already paid for the remainder of the month.

同時，現在 也已經恢復 的頁面：

As of writing this WordPress search results on Google seem to have returned to normal as well.

然後下面有很多廢話，關於 與 community 的，想要當閱讀測驗的人可以去看看…

馬里蘭大學對 P2P 的態度

4 Comments

U of Maryland tries to eliminate illegal P2P with lame software 中提到馬里蘭大學對非法 P2P 的態度是：全校一起去買合法的版權 (真糟，在台灣也有人嘗試這樣幹 o_O)：

The Baltimore Sun is reporting on the University of Maryland’s bid to wean students off a campus Direct Connect hub by buying into a program from Cdigix.

。
不過作者對於這套軟體意見頗多就是了 :p (參考原來的報導)

幹壞事是進步最大的原動力

雖然是 4/1 新聞，可是引用的報導是 3/30，而且下面的 comments 看起來好像是真的 XD Student Hacks System to Alter Grades：

A UCSB student is being charged with four felonies after she allegedly stole the identity of two professors and used the information to change her own and several other students’ grades, police said.

怎麼 crack 呢，因為為了怕教授們忘記密碼的時候不知道怎麼辦，所以這個系統 (eGrades) 可以用社會安全號碼與出生日期拿到密碼：

The Universty of California Santa Barbara has a custom program, eGrades, where faculty can submit and alter grades. It’s password protected, of course. But there’s a backup system, so that faculty who forget their password can reset it using their Social Security number and date of birth.

很明顯的，這是程式上的瑕疵，於是被學生給予正義的一擊… (不過怎麼會被抓呢 *thinking*)

一些題外話 XD

到會場的時候剛好看到 ，就一起上 14F 去會場。然後在會場看到 與小陰 (sfchiou)，於是就跑過去跟他聊天，然後聊到一半我聽到後面好像在講 (似乎是跟 的大頭講 plogworld.org 拿不回來的事情)，回頭一看發現是 ，不知道要不要打招呼 XD

前面有看到 與 以及 ，然後吃東西的時候遇到 …

沒來真是太可惜了 XD

中間休息的時候被 認出來，聊了一下 的 SQL 與 架構問題，我是認為 跟 的定位不一樣，所以以現在的 SQL 用法，已經無藥可救了 XD (對不起，我是嘴炮，只負責出張嘴 :p)

剛剛看到 上有一些資訊，大家可以連過去看看： (Comments 的部分)、。

巴西政府對 Microsoft 的態度

巴西政府對於 授權的問題：，在第一篇 comment 有全文，不需要去 看。

其中一部份提到了巴西要求所有用政府經費發展軟體必須以 open source license 釋出：

On Mr. da Silva’s watch, Brazil has also become the first country to require any company or research institute that receives government financing to develop software to license it as open-source, meaning the underlying software code must be free to all.

另外他們打算讓巴西的低收入戶也能夠擁有電腦：

By the end of April, the government plans to roll out a much ballyhooed program called PC Conectado, or Connected PC, aimed at helping millions of low-income Brazilians buy their first computers.

在這個計畫中，他們不打算浪費任何一毛納稅人的錢幫助 壟斷，因為要避免壟斷的方法之一就是去培養競爭對手，使得 無法獨大：

“We’re not going to spend taxpayers’ money on a program so that Microsoft can further consolidate its monopoly. It’s the government’s responsibility to ensure that there is competition, and that means giving alternative software platforms a chance to prosper.”

另外，提供低價 (其實這種價錢與目前台灣的免費撥接比起來並不低) 的撥接網路連上 Internet：

Buyers will be able to pay in 24 installments of 50 to 60 reais, or about $18 to $21.80 a month, an amount affordable for many working poor. The country’s top three fixed-line telephone companies – Telefónica of Spain; Tele Norte Leste Participações, or Telemar; and Brasil Telecom – have agreed to provide a dial-up Internet connection to participants for 7.50 reais, or less than $3, a month, allowing 15 hours of Web surfing.
