The CAPTCHA has been pwnd!

Posted by Jeff as Blogging News, Blogging Tools, Spam So, you think CAPTCHAs would cut your spam comments in half? Well, think again. Just a little over a year after Google let loose audio CAPTCHAs (the most common implementation of which is an accessibility icon next to visual, or image CAPTCHA, that play a recording of a series of numbers and/or letters, dumbed down by some background noise) to the brewing security-conscious public, it appears that this, too, has been defeated. Security company BitDefender reports identifying a new Trojan, dubbed Trojan.Spammer.HotLan.A, taking over and zombify-ing machines, using unsuspecting users' computers to generate Yahoo! and Hotmail ...

Live blogging, or boot-legging?

Posted by Jeff as Blogging News, Opinion From Digg: Courier-Journal field reporter Brian Bennett was kicked out of the stadium in the middle of an NCAA baseball super-regional (the fifth inning, to be exact) for live blogging last Sunday (GMT-4? I'm bad at time zones. Use this instead and look for "America/Louisville") the high-energy match between University of Lousville and Oklahoma State, KY. To their defense, the University of Louisville says a note was sent out condemning any "live representation of the game", under which live blogging the university insists falls under, yet Bennett and his colleagues pushed with it anyway.

Template Designers Get Ready: Safari 3 for Windows is coming

Posted by Jeff as Blogging News, Design Talk about getting your head in the game. As if testing on two browsers is not enough (or three, for Opera, so stop writing that email now! I get flamed enough already, thank you), Apple sets loose its flagship browser onto Windows machines in WWDC07 in an effort to what can be interpreted as a move to increase awareness of the Apple experience. Or, in El Jobso's own words, "giving a glass of ice water to somebody in hell". In case you lost track already, here's a quick review at what we have now: the Gecko engine (utilized by ...

Blog Safely and Generally

Posted by Professor as Blog Tutorial, Blogging News, Blogging Tools, Creating a Blog, Design and Themes, Opinion, Spam, Templates, Tips Blog Safety First

While blogging offers people the freedom to express what they feel, it would be best to keep them as broad as possible. Reason behind this is to avoid any libel problems that may come their way from making gestures focused on one area. People or groups who may be cited at one point or another may not be pleased and may call it an attack against their overall being, a reason for them to take such articles as moral damages towards a person or groups overall character. Blogging has been something that is on the ...

These are only some of the pathetic things that people cannot simply live by. Everyone is entitled to his own ...
