Go Huskies!! &rw • November 24, 2006 6:17 PM If one follows the "mystery solved" link, there's an explanation: "The photo is from the Japanese newswires. The squid was in the parking lot of a wholesale fish market somewhere in northern Tohoku Japan. The image was labeled “tohoku_shijou .jpeg��?, which means the ‘Tohoku [district] wholesale [fish] market’." another_bruce • November 25, 2006 10:38 AM somebody put it there to reserve the space. this doesn't work in all instances, people like me will just park on top of it. Rob Mayfield • November 26, 2006 3:09 PM Some caution advised on work machines if you are following the "Mystery Solved" link. Theres a number of references to "Tentacle Sex" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tentacle_sex (also possibly NSFW). "Odd" doesnt even begin to describe it ... Anonymous • November 26, 2006 4:03 PM @Rob M. Caution also advised when using this link http://www.schneier.com/blog/newcomments.html The comments section on "Keyboards and Covert Channels" is turning into a real scum-magnet, attracting all the worst kinds of comment spam. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/11/... Can the site admin take care of this, please? Bruce Schneier • November 26, 2006 6:37 PM "The comments section on 'Keyboards and Covert Channels' is turning into a real scum-magnet, attracting all the worst kinds of comment spam." I know. I've been cleaning the spam out every day for over a week. I finally got fed up and turned off comments on that thread. I don't like doing that -- sometimes people leave good comments on old threads -- but I didn't see any practical alternative. Rich • November 27, 2006 11:06 AM "I know. I've been cleaning the spam out every day for over a week. I finally got fed up and turned off comments on that thread." There must be an interesting paper in "What blog topics attract the most spam". I wonder if it's the 'keyboard' or the 'covert' that's attracting it. Still holding out against captchas? altjira • November 27, 2006 8:04 PM Askimet. http://akismet.com/ Very effective on my WordPress blog. altjira • November 27, 2006 8:08 PM Well, I spelled it wrong, but in my defense, so many other people must also do so that it was the first link from Google. Not even a suggested spelling correction. antibozo • November 29, 2006 1:40 AM bob> [captchas] Already been cracked. Not sure what you mean. Just because someone can point a bunch of cheap labor at them that doesn't mean they won't dramatically reduce the amount of comment spam.
