Living Room / registrar accused of widespread cyber squatting
« Last post by mouser on June 03, 2006, 02:57 PM »
what's most interesting and troubling about this is that this is a registrar that is being accused of doing this.

..
A new federal lawsuit charges that Dotster, one of the largest domain name registrars, has unlawfully participated in a massive cybersquatting campaign targeting companies such as Cingular Wireless, Disney, Ikea, Google, Neiman Marcus, Playboy and Verizon.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday by high-end retailers Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, alleges that Dotster abused its status as a registrar by "checking out" hundreds of domain names that closely resemble the correct ones--and then keeping only the ones that were visited by Web users who couldn't spell very well.

General Software Discussion / Re: something to save file/program/icon associations
« Last post by mouser on June 03, 2006, 02:31 PM »
yeah this is a really nice idea actually, if you had like for each extension, something that could track the HISTORY of association and icon changes, and easily let you switch to any previous association/history. that would really be nice.

WorldCup Predictor / Re: WCP'06 - FIFA World Cup 2006 Markov Chain Monte Carlo Tournament Predictor
« Last post by mouser on June 03, 2006, 05:54 AM »
I'd actually like to put out a call for help..

We would like to find a source of data over the last few years that will give us an estimate of how well each team did when playing against each other team.

That is, we want a table of score showing what the avg match score was when each team played each other team.

Any help in:
1) locating this raw data
and
2) extracting it into a spreadsheet or similar data file form.

Just a little sample of what kind of results WCP '06 Gives you.
Note this chart is generated dynamically in your browser as it runs on the real page (this is just a screenshot here with my annotations).

PLEASE REMEMBER: this chart here is not generated with real prediction data!!! It's just to give a flavor for the format and use of the results.  These are not real team predictions!

Living Room / Re: usability test videos for linux desktop tasks - interesting
« Last post by mouser on June 02, 2006, 04:42 PM »
you are right - it's really usability tests of different linux desktops, not linux itself.
in fact these people on the whole do very well in figuring out how to use stuff,
the linux desktop apps are getting quite good.

instead of man-on-the-street, you could buy a telephone recorder and call random people and ask them these questions (make sure you get their permission to put their answers on the donationcoder.com podcast).

Living Room / interesting usability test videos for dif. linux desktop programs (gnome,etc.)
« Last post by mouser on June 02, 2006, 02:17 AM »
Tons of usability test videos of people trying to use different linux desktops (gnome, etc.) to do different things.  Lots of giant video files.
Also find reports and data about linux desktop usability on the site.

note: videos seem down at the moment (or overwhelmed).

...
Below are videos that we have taken of user tests. Please consider when watching the videos, that they may touch on many parts of the desktop. For example, a test that deals with changing the background may involve Nautilus or GNOME Control Center. In other words, there is a lot to learn from these videos!

VisualComplexity.com intends to be a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. The project's main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web. I truly hope this space can inspire, motivate and enlighten any person doing research on this field.

DonationCoder Projects / SMF addon - attach images to personal messages
« Last post by mouser on June 01, 2006, 06:38 PM »
This idea is a mod for smf, to allow people (group permissions should say who) to attach files to personal messages.
It's been requested a lot on smf forum, and it's something we would certainly be willing to give some prizes for.

DonationCoder Projects / RPG on the forum
« Last post by mouser on June 01, 2006, 06:36 PM »
This is not an entirely new idea -
other forums have done it in the paste.

the idea is to invent a kind of funny/silly role playing game that people can play with one another through the forum.

you could actually write it as an independent little php (or whatever) script, and we could easily add code to autodetect username and avatar using forum login.

alternatively john you can just upload and attach images to posts.

Living Room / nice long review of music recommendation sites
« Last post by mouser on June 01, 2006, 04:05 PM »
nice long review comparing music *recommendation* sites.

...
What these services do is help us find these artists by feeding you tunes similar to those you've selected yourself. Usually you can then stream customized radio stations based on your musical tastes. Artists come from all genres, from the obscure to the mainstream, from yesterday to today, and from the crappy to the "I wonder why they aren't on the radio." Either way, whatever your musical tastes, you're bound to discover something new you'll like.

Living Room / Rock Paper Scissors 25 - an old game, a very cool twist
« Last post by mouser on June 01, 2006, 03:29 PM »
Seriously, things like this tell me there is still hope for this world of ours.
this takes the rock-paper-scissors game idea to a whole new level.  pure genius.

...
9/25/05: After receiving 100+ letters in the past two weeks (mostly) raving about RPS-15 and including lots of ideas for more gestures, and also with so many requests to incorporate gestures from other popular bastardizations of RPS, I elected to cap this whole nightmarishly ridiculous endeavor with an Earth-swallowing 25-gesture game. This is it...I swear I am done now.
