Just Murmuring :)

Matt 對 WordPress 這次事情的說明

(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

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)

Intel 要求從 Open Source License 的列表退出

上的消息 (看起來不是愚人節新聞):Intel Requests OSI to Pull OS License

大意是說,在 Open Source Initiative OSI – Licensing 這頁上面有個「」:


的講法是這樣:

“We’re not pulling the plug on the license altogether, we’re just asking OSI to de-emphasize this license as part of their list,” Smith told internetnews.com.

不過還是讓不少人不滿…

愚人節的新聞

考完試回來一看, 上滿滿的都是愚人節新聞 (於是三字經又罵出來了),下面的 comments 也表示不耐煩了 (還有人「喔,第五十五個愚人節新聞」)

沒錯,我完全同意啊,一篇兩篇還看的下去,但是三十篇愚人節新聞要怎麼看啊 -________-

微軟對釣魚網站大反擊

控告釣魚網站侵害商標 (對, 是以「商標法」為手段):Butterfly attack on phishers

上面提到的這篇文章「Microsoft launches 117 anti-phishing suits」很清楚的表示了 決定一口氣控告 117 個釣魚站台,這些站台是在 2004/10 ~ 2005/03 在網路上釣取使用者資料。

果然是 的大手筆。(該不會是因為他們公司很久沒被司法部捅菊花,所以律師都沒事做?)

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*)
