Okay, so first there was the story about the planned DHS television series . And then there was the follow-up reporting that the whole thing was an investment scam and there was no such show after all. Following through on the story, it looks like the ringleader behind the scam has been sentenced to one year in prison and an accomplice to five years probation and $250 a month in restitution. The TV Squad article says retribution , which would be strange if true. But it’s not . (Read the announcements of the accomplice’s indictment and guilty plea .) At $250 a month, it’s going to take a long time to repay the court-ordered $3.4 million in restitution. Two years later, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the judge who imposed the one-year sentence for the ringleader failed to follow sentencing guidelines (which call for a minimum of 57 months), and ordered that he be sentenced again.

Last year, a talking action figure was discovered to utter a curse word . A spokesperson for the store said that the problem might be a faulty microchip. Huh? What microchips fail by saying curse words? I mean, I can see the voice chip failing by generating static or chopping up the audio so as to become unintelligible, but what are the odds that a chip will just happen to fail by reassembling the audio to form a popular curse word? Mind you, the problem may sti... more

James Manning mentioned in a footnote to a blog entry on PowerShell and WMI that he considers the Ctrl+Backspace shortcut key a Windows-ism. Where did this shortcut key come from? From a fan of the Brief editor . A few people in the early days of the Internet Explorer group used the Brief editor, which uses Ctrl+Backspace as the shortcut key to delete the previous word, and they liked it so much that one of them added it to the autocomplete handler. Therefore... more

Something that is actionable provides a specific demand for action. Although I’m not necessarily a big fan of the word itself, I definitely appreciate the value of the concept it is trying to capture. ... more
