solving CAPTCHAs to transcribe books?

Old article, but still a good read!

In short, reCAPTCHA has found a nifty way to crowdsource book transcriptions. When users solve a CAPTCHA through reCAPTCHA, the software will give users two words: one with a known answer (the control word) and one where the OCR software wasn’t quite sure what the word was. Once a certain number of users have solved the suspicious word with the same result, it becomes a control word itself and the OCR software can learn this word.

thursday humor

Is it just us, or does this sound like a conversation between a Finnish person trying to order a non-alcohol beverage and a bartender?

swedish password hacking scandal grows

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 26 (UPI) — A password hacking scandal in Sweden has expanded to include 180,000 users on nearly 60 Web sites, officials said.

Information about more than 90,000 account passwords linked with the Swedish blog site Bloggtoppen.se was published Tuesday on the Twitter account of former Sweden Democrat Party lawmaker William Petzall, the Swedish news agency TT reported Wednesday.

Petzall, through his attorney, said his Twitter account had been hijacked and he wasn’t behind the publication of the passwords. Pitzall left the party in September to become an independent member of parliament. TT reported Pitzall was battling substance abuse.

Jimmy Holmlund, who operates Bloggtoppen.se, confirmed the site was hacked and has shut down.

“Someone apparently discovered a weakness in the code that lies behind the service,” he told the news agency.

Login information was published for 79 users with Moderate Party e-mail addresses, including several lawmakers and party secretary Sofia Arkelsten, Aftonbladet said. Information of 50 users with e-mail addresses from the Liberal Party was published as well.

Aftonbladet reported Wednesday 57 other Web sites were hacked, putting login details of up to 180,000 Swedes at risk. In some cases, personal identity numbers were published.

pastebin

if you are looking for some tv/movie/ etc, a good solution is to do a search at pastebin for it.

a quick little test today gave us the possibility to download ALF’s all seasons… Or perhaps  the complete Mac Gyver series? No … we will leave you with a real good suggestion.

WE LIVE IN PUBLIC (2009)
summary:
    Ondi Timoner's documentary chronicles a decade
    in the life of Internet pioneer Josh Harris,
    who instigated an "artificial society" experiment
    in which more than 100 artists lived under 24-hour
    surveillance in an underground compound in New York
    City. After FEMA broke up the project, Harris turned
    the cameras on himself and his girlfriend. Timoner's
    provocative film (winner of the Grand Jury Prize:
    Documentary at Sundance) includes clips from Harris's
    projects as well as her own original footage.
