divided by common letters

I’ve been getting Russian spams in which some of the Cyrillic letters “Аа В Ее К М Н Оо Рр Сс Т у Хх” are replaced by the similar Latin letters “Aa B Ee K M H Oo Pp Cc T y Xx”, defeating Google Translate.

Combien de temps est-ce que je la poitrine devrais-je nourrir mon enfant ?

On the first of the month, I look at my HTTP referral log to see if I have any new incoming links. Among this month’s spam is a breastfeeding blog in French, which appears on closer inspection to have been translated by machine, probably from English; the above title is a sample.

yet another flavor of referral spam

In September, some clown created “user profiles” on thousands of sites in the names jennyl8221, jamessylar33, alberty788, melvinwong522, jinnlost5, rickdcurry82, jeffsmith7223, davemartial223. How do I know this? My HTTP log shows two thousand hits (most of them from customers of xninet.com and ubiquityservers.com) giving those “user profiles” as referring pages.

Whom do they think they’re fooling?

Robin Hanson on Lord of the Flies: schools as a decivilizing force

I got a spam entitled Very Discrete Packaging and Billing. One would hope so!

Dissatisfied with my hairstyle, I decided some months ago to shave my scalp in the spring, take pictures over a year, and then decide what length I like best. So on the equinox I initiated the plan, and promptly caught cold. Ten days later (still congested) I notice that my hairline is asymmetric: it has receded more on the left (where I usually parted it until 1998) than on the right. Hm.
