I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
Not really sure, but I have noticed that some sites have started to allow comments only from posters who have registered in advance.
ReplyDeleteI guess we have to ban porn on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it does and you've already done it, but does Blogger have a setting that treats any comment with more than x number of links as spam? If it does and you haven't set it, then that should block a lot of the stuff (it works well in WordPress at least).
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the Wow-Gold folks.
ReplyDeleteFace it, their always there for you, Gene.
Gene, I note further that the blog hosting sytem used by the Mises folks (where I keep my blog) contains the features Chris refers to, but doesn`t allow for a gotcha.
ReplyDeleteThe result is that comments with too many links are not rejected, but simply don`t post.
Do you like playing online games? i like wow gold
ReplyDelete。Here is cheap wow gold
. Come to buy wow gold
.
It occurs to me that "wow gold" is not "Wow, gold!" but rather "WoW gold." WoW is the abbreviated form of "World of Warcraft," a popular online game which involves the use of gold as currency. Believe it or not, there are people who actually pay real money in exchange for gold in the game. In response, a network of producers has sprung up, typically in developing countries, to "farm" gold. You can read about gold farming on Wikipedia; aside from the fact that it's really annoying that they keep posting things on your blog, it's actually kind of a fascinating phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteSave up and get vbulletin I had the same problem and had to add a question to my registration process. It is working fine now no more of those Porn and Viagra spammers. Trust me I know your frustration. If you can ban IP addresses I have logged the perp that does the 10 to 12 porn spams “194.8.74.155”
