How can someone trust IEEE?

“Check out the paper Towards the Simulation of E-commerce by Herbert Schlangemann, which is available in the IEEEXplor database (full article available only to IEEE members). This generated paper has been accepted with review by the 2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE). According to the organizers, ‘CSSE is one of the important conferences sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, which serves as a forum for scientists and engineers in the latest development of artificial intelligence, grid computing, computer graphics, database technology, and software engineering.’ Even better, fake author Herbert Schlangemann has been selected as session chair (PDF) for that conference. (The name Schlangemann was chosen based on the short film Der Schlangemann by Andreas Hansson and Björn Renberg.)”

Quality is not important anymore, money is talking louder then anything, this amazing piece of software showed us, not how advanced artificial intelligence is reaching, but how stupid we are for accepting a fragile revision and acceptance system of the scientific community.

Time Machine error

Posted on December 1st, 2008 in Software | Comments Off

Suddenly my Time Capsule started screaming, Time Machine was only able to mount the backup drive in read-only mode, apparently it got corrupted. I tried Disk Utility, but it didn’t work, formatting was the way to go, the only bad thing is that I’ll have to wait another day or so to copy everything again.
