Hollywood execs, the writers and their compensation, and "stealing"
The studios have decided that since they have power, they will simply define the writer’s revenue stream out of existence. DVD sales simply won’t
count
towardsresidual
sales in exactly the same manner as VHS sales. Also: since the internet doesn’tbroadcast
, writers (it seems) don’t have the right to money fromrebroadcast
. Just so we’re clear: when you buy a season of TV on VHS, writers are compensated. When you buy it on DVD or iTunes, they are not.The Punning Pundit via reddit

Wishlist: a Gmail spam transformer
I don’t have the skillz needed for this, so I’ll just throw out my idea for a Gmail-related Greasemonkey script here: a filter which turns content of spam-labeled messages into something funny/useful/philosophical, such as ‘joke of the hour’, selected (random) links from Digg/StumbleUpon/whatnot or an aphorism/quote.
The sender field is usually enough for me to rule out false positives, but to see them I need to visit the spam folder, and doing so exposes me regularly to the beginnings of all the junk mail messages there. I’d like the spammers not get even this minute portion of my attention.
Obviously, the original content ought to be easily reachable for those cases where the sender is not enough to rule out a false positive.

Greasemonkey: Pure Google Links
The Pure Google Links link at the page referred to at Boing Boing was dead, but Kronoss.log has the script. For convenience, I’ve mirrored it here.
Edit: Since the original doesn’t seem to be working for me at least, I’ve modified it so that it does: Aggressively Pure Google Links strips all
onmousedownattributes from links on Google search results pages (the way the original seems to have been implemented some time in the past). I’ve not done enough testing to say this is fool-proof and risk-free, so install it on your own caution. -
A WordPress plugin: count posts older than…
Yet another trivial WordPress plugin, to help me quickly achieve the purpose stated by the title: to get the number of posts older than a given limit.
It’s a really, really quick ‘n’ nasty hack and you need to edit the source to make any use of it, as the date limit is set there. The detailed usage is also inside the plugin file itself.
