schestowitz | Marketing people like that are the scum of the scum | Jun 04 00:05 |
yuhong | monitoring and bullying bloggers are different? | Jun 04 00:05 |
schestowitz | And they waste bloggers' time | Jun 04 00:05 |
yuhong | monitoring and bullying bloggers are different, | Jun 04 00:05 |
yuhong | monitoring and bullying bloggers are different. | Jun 04 00:05 |

yuhong | Yes. | Jun 04 00:06 |
yuhong | I agree that what Comcast did was far from a good idea, true. | Jun 04 00:06 |
schestowitz | yuhong: are you in "social media monitoring"? | Jun 04 00:06 |

schestowitz | THanks for playing | Jun 04 00:06 |
schestowitz | yuhong: ah OK | Jun 04 00:06 |
schestowitz | yuhong: so why do you defend them: | Jun 04 00:06 |
schestowitz | ? | Jun 04 00:07 |
schestowitz | They don't even monitor | Jun 04 00:07 |
schestowitz | They are like bots | Jun 04 00:07 |
schestowitz | They use sofwtare tools and automated reponse | Jun 04 00:07 |

yuhong | Automated responses are not a good idea. | Jun 04 00:07 |
schestowitz | OK | Jun 04 00:07 |
schestowitz | So we've settled | Jun 04 00:08 |
yuhong | But just monitoring is different. | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | It's bad | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | No | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | It's not "just" monitoring | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | it's a brutal industry | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | And it's AstroTurf, IMHO | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | Or it needs a name name | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | Like trolling | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | Let's call it "blog-bot-bombing" | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | Or "blog terrorism" | Jun 04 00:08 |
yuhong | It isn't but it is still not a good idea due to other reasons. | Jun 04 00:08 |
schestowitz | That ought to give them a suitable label | Jun 04 00:08 |
yuhong | Good, thank you. | Jun 04 00:09 |
yuhong | Maybe even classify it as blogspam. | Jun 04 00:09 |
cubezzz | facebook isn't that good either | Jun 04 00:09 |
cubezzz | "I stubbed my big toe today" | Jun 04 00:09 |
yuhong | Thank you for creating a new label, thank you. | Jun 04 00:10 |
yuhong | I am going to class it as blog spam, you agree? | Jun 04 00:11 |
yuhong | I am going to class it as blogspam, you agree? | Jun 04 00:11 |
schestowitz | I'm doing some posts ATM | Jun 04 00:11 |
yuhong | OK. | Jun 04 00:12 |
yuhong | Hooray, you just created a new type of blogspam. | Jun 04 00:13 |
yuhong | Or to be more precise, comment spam. | Jun 04 00:15 |
cubezzz | which could be astroturfing... | Jun 04 00:16 |
yuhong | If it had no disclosure. | Jun 04 00:16 |
yuhong | But even if it is not astroturfing, for one thing, people will stop believing them and consider it annoying. | Jun 04 00:17 |

schestowitz | Like when Microsoft AstroTurfers hit techrights | Jun 04 00:17 |
yuhong | Of course, and that is astroturfing. | Jun 04 00:17 |
yuhong | But even if it is not astroturfing, for one thing, people will stop believing them and consider it annoying. | Jun 04 00:18 |
yuhong | It is bad practice. | Jun 04 00:18 |
schestowitz | Novell did this too | Jun 04 00:18 |
schestowitz | Using pseudonyms | Jun 04 00:18 |
schestowitz | The IPs came from Novell.com | Jun 04 00:18 |
yuhong | I know. | Jun 04 00:18 |
yuhong | It can border on spam. | Jun 04 00:18 |
cubezzz | are we keeping #boycottnovell ? | Jun 04 00:19 |
yuhong | I am thinking of writing a blog article on this type of blogspam. | Jun 04 00:19 |
cubezzz | or just move to #techrights ? | Jun 04 00:19 |
yuhong | If it has disclosure, it is not asturturfing, but it is still blogspam. | Jun 04 00:21 |
yuhong | Anyway, three cheers for inventing a new term for this. | Jun 04 00:21 |
yuhong | To differeniate it from social media montoring which is OK and avoid any more confusion. | Jun 04 00:22 |
yuhong | Just monitoring is OK but spamming is not. | Jun 04 00:24 |

schestowitz | "Channels of information. They’re developer magazines. Developers love to read other people’s experiences. I remember when I was first learning programming, I was subscribing to a magazine that seemed to solve the problem I was working on every month..

schestowitz | 2, and now it’s just Windows, and.. .and so on, OK? There’s lot’s of independent programming journals. You want to infiltrate those. Again, there’s two categories.

I’m not asking you to ship a product by a certain schedule, but you must ship me an article with sample code and so forth, which I will then get published in MSJ, which will then establish you as an expert in the field, which will help your consulting business. Everybody wins, OK? So that’s how you | Jun 04 10:42 |
schestowitz | use journals that we control. The ones that third parties control, like the WinTech Journal, you want to infiltrate. You want to get yourself onto the advisory committee that picks out which authors are published and which ones aren’t, or which topics are covered and over these special issues, things like that Just be so helpful that they can’t do without you, and then make sure that things go your way. Just help those magazines | Jun 04 10:42 |
schestowitz | like crazy. Encourage new writers. Magazines…technical magazines face the same problems that we do in hiring evangelists. They’ve got to find people who are both very technical and know how to string words together in sentences that make sense, and people are not usually trained in both. You usually get one or the other. It’s like…when I was going to school, I was…you know, I was a science major. I wasn’t going to take | Jun 04 10:42 |
schestowitz | any of these artsy-fartsy language and stuff classes. That’s for those losers who are in Liberal Arts, and basket-weaving classes. And so most people don’t do both.

DaemonFC | it was annoying as all hell, it had tons of bugs, plenty of stuff that worked in XP stopped working in Vista, Vista was too slow to run on most hardware sold with XP... | Jun 04 19:27 |
DaemonFC | I know none of that was a news flash though | Jun 04 19:27 |
oiaohm | Basically foxconn is not very impressed with MS. | Jun 04 19:27 |

balrog | why are you using all that? | Jun 04 22:14 |
balrog | another thing | Jun 04 22:14 |
balrog | you remember hulu claimed one reason they can't go to html5 is because of drm? | Jun 04 22:14 |
DaemonFC | yeah | Jun 04 22:15 |
DaemonFC | Netflix too | Jun 04 22:15 |
balrog | okay | Jun 04 22:15 |
DaemonFC | balrog, I got it to where Ican rip to Vorbis, FLAC, and Lame in Windows Media Player | Jun 04 22:15 |
balrog | Hulu's DRM is useless | Jun 04 22:15 |
DaemonFC | :D | Jun 04 22:15 |
balrog | DaemonFC: you don't want to rip FLAC in WMP | Jun 04 22:15 |
balrog | use Exact Audio Copy | Jun 04 22:15 |
balrog | it's proprietary, true, but it does a 'perfect rip' | Jun 04 22:16 |
DaemonFC | I know, I just wanted to see if I could get WMP to not suck | Jun 04 22:16 |
DaemonFC | and apparently I could | Jun 04 22:16 |
balrog | on the Mac we have XLD | Jun 04 22:16 |
balrog | fully open source, and the guy who programs that thing is a maniac | Jun 04 22:16 |
balrog | updates come out every week or more frequently | Jun 04 22:16 |
DaemonFC | I kind of like having Windows Media Player depend on GPL'd libraries to do stuff | Jun 04 22:16 |
DaemonFC | it's ironic | Jun 04 22:17 |
balrog | well I'd never use WMP to rip CDs | Jun 04 22:17 |
balrog | anyway Netflix uses silverlight | Jun 04 22:17 |
balrog | Hulu uses Flash with RTMP | Jun 04 22:17 |
balrog | it's very easy to rip Hulu episodes | Jun 04 22:17 |
balrog | a few utilities and it's all automatic | Jun 04 22:17 |

DaemonFC | balrog, unfortunately I have an awful lot of WMA files that Microsoft "donated to me" when they had that Urge store going | Jun 04 22:30 |
DaemonFC | donated meaning their DRM system was pathetic and the files are now mine :) | Jun 04 22:30 |
balrog | DaemonFC: I'd probably attempt to strip the drm | Jun 04 22:30 |
balrog | even so, I dislike WMA | Jun 04 22:30 |
DaemonFC | I did | Jun 04 22:30 |
balrog | what bitrate are they? | Jun 04 22:31 |
DaemonFC | 192k WMA 9.2 | Jun 04 22:31 |
balrog | ehh | Jun 04 22:31 |
balrog | I don't like lossy | Jun 04 22:31 |
balrog | and I don't like anything below 256kbps aac or MP3 V0 | Jun 04 22:31 |
DaemonFC | I don't either, but it was a free trial of their subscription music service | Jun 04 22:31 |
balrog | (or vorbis) | Jun 04 22:31 |
balrog | I see. | Jun 04 22:31 |
DaemonFC | then I unDRM'd the files | Jun 04 22:31 |
balrog | does't music expire when you drop the subscription though? | Jun 04 22:32 |
DaemonFC | the DRM tag is what enforces the expiration date | Jun 04 22:32 |
DaemonFC | I downloaded these back in 2006 | Jun 04 22:32 |
balrog | ahha | Jun 04 22:32 |
DaemonFC | they're 4 years overdue to expire *grin* | Jun 04 22:32 |
balrog | lol | Jun 04 22:32 |
balrog | imho, when you rent music you rent it | Jun 04 22:32 |
DaemonFC | oh, and on an unlicensed computer no less | Jun 04 22:33 |
DaemonFC | :D | Jun 04 22:33 |
balrog | it's funny because my library is putting out audiobooks in collaboration with Overdrive | Jun 04 22:33 |
balrog | some are DRMed WMAs but others are un-DRMed MP3s | Jun 04 22:33 |
DaemonFC | I have music in several formats now | Jun 04 22:33 |
DaemonFC | MP3, Ogg, Flac, AAC, and WMA | Jun 04 22:33 |
balrog | I stick to FLAC [and apple lossless], AAC 256 or better, and MP3 V0 or better | Jun 04 22:34 |
balrog | ogg is ok too but it's not as easy to play back | Jun 04 22:34 |
balrog | as I use a Mac, or Linux, I don't want any WMA | Jun 04 22:34 |

DaemonFC | my 1995 Ford Taurus plays MP3s | Jun 04 22:36 |
DaemonFC | (it was an upgrade) | Jun 04 22:36 |
balrog | DaemonFC: does it play VBR MP3s? | Jun 04 22:36 |
balrog | I'll do CBR but only at 320 | Jun 04 22:36 |
DaemonFC | yes, the deck itself isn't real old | Jun 04 22:36 |
DaemonFC | it has an audio in jack too | Jun 04 22:36 |
DaemonFC | so it could play the Vorbis files on my Sansa | Jun 04 22:37 |
DaemonFC | I thought it was odd that it can play WMAs on a CD | Jun 04 22:37 |
DaemonFC | who the hell would do such a thing? | Jun 04 22:37 |
DaemonFC | but yeah, my car is Windows Media compatible | Jun 04 22:38 |
DaemonFC | :P | Jun 04 22:38 |
DaemonFC | I guess the level of suck matches the car | Jun 04 22:38 |
balrog | :( | Jun 04 22:39 |
DaemonFC | balrog, I just can't get over how tinny and horrible WMA sounds at low bitrates | Jun 04 22:39 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft was calling it CD quality at 64kbps at one point | Jun 04 22:39 |
MinceR | lol | Jun 04 22:39 |
balrog | wtf!? | Jun 04 22:40 |
DaemonFC | "If you use 24 kbps, you can send it over a dial up internet connection in real time!" | Jun 04 22:40 |
DaemonFC | :D | Jun 04 22:40 |
DaemonFC | yeah, what's left of it anyway | Jun 04 22:40 |
DaemonFC | :D | Jun 04 22:40 |
DaemonFC | Is it just me, or did Nirvana record this album at the bottom of a swimming pool? | Jun 04 22:41 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Jun 04 22:41 |
DaemonFC | Coding Technologies is making the same sorts of "ZOMG MAGIC!!!!" claims about High Efficiency AAC | Jun 04 22:42 |
DaemonFC | it's good, but nothing is that good | Jun 04 22:42 |
DaemonFC | I mean, if I had to stream something at 64kbps, I'd use HE-AAC | Jun 04 22:42 |
DaemonFC | but I'd rather just use a higher bitrate | Jun 04 22:43 |
MinceR | i'd rather just use FLAC and stop worrying | Jun 04 22:43 |
DaemonFC | How did you make the terrorist give up Osama so fast? | Jun 04 22:45 |
balrog | DaemonFC: obviously | Jun 04 22:45 |
DaemonFC | Oh, I just made him listen to a Nine Inch Nails album in 24k WMA. | Jun 04 22:45 |
balrog | eww | Jun 04 22:45 |
MinceR | that's unfair to NIN | Jun 04 22:45 |
balrog | I want 24-bit flac | Jun 04 22:45 |
balrog | not 24k wma | Jun 04 22:45 |
DaemonFC | balrog, I had a utility from Microsoft at one point | Jun 04 22:46 |
balrog | yea? | Jun 04 22:47 |
balrog | what did it do? | Jun 04 22:47 |
DaemonFC | "Convert your MP3s to 64k WMA and save hard drive space" | Jun 04 22:47 |
DaemonFC | "You'll never tell the difference!" | Jun 04 22:47 |
balrog | EWWW | Jun 04 22:47 |
balrog | convert lossy to lossy!? | Jun 04 22:47 |
DaemonFC | yes | Jun 04 22:47 |
balrog | that's the last thing you'd ever want to do | Jun 04 22:47 |
DaemonFC | 64k WMA at that | Jun 04 22:47 |
balrog | even 320kbps mp3 to aac | Jun 04 22:47 |
balrog | never | Jun 04 22:47 |
DaemonFC | well, Microsoft says converting 128k MP3 to 64k WMA is still CD quality | Jun 04 22:48 |
DaemonFC | are you saying they lie? | Jun 04 22:48 |
DaemonFC | :P | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | look at a spectrogram of lossy-to-lossy | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | ask anyone who knows something about audio | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | or better: look at a spectrogram | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | audacity has it | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | you'll see the high frequency cutoff | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | and if you zoom in youll see blocking | Jun 04 22:48 |
balrog | then do a blind ABX test | Jun 04 22:49 |

DaemonFC | MinceR speaking of which | Jun 04 23:09 |
DaemonFC | Terminator 3 kind of sucked | Jun 04 23:09 |
DaemonFC | I knew how it would end when his power supply malfunctioned and he threw it out the window | Jun 04 23:10 |
DaemonFC | and the movie still had like an hour left to go :( | Jun 04 23:10 |
MinceR | i liked it | Jun 04 23:10 |
DaemonFC | but come on, the terminator in the first two movies never had a hydrogen fuel cell | Jun 04 23:11 |
DaemonFC | how come all of a sudden, an obsolete terminator model gets upgraded with two of them? | Jun 04 23:11 |
DaemonFC | :P | Jun 04 23:11 |
MinceR | i don't remember anything about hydrogen fuel cells | Jun 04 23:11 |
DaemonFC | well, a miniature reactor of some sort anyway | Jun 04 23:12 |
DaemonFC | I remember him mentioning hydrogen | Jun 04 23:12 |
