Today my professor posed a question in class about random variables. He asked if two of them were independent. He wanted so see a show of hands to get our opinions. We had three options, and they were:
1) I'm too afraid to voice my opinion
2) Not independent
3) Independent
On a different subject, what is the deal with spam comments? I have Google Adsense on my blog, so that advertisers can use the space and I get pennies a day for it. But
Some advertisement people don't want to pay for the space. Their stupid programs clog up my comments with advertisements - for FREE! If a site wants to advertise on elsiesdomain it has to PAY like everyone else! This means WAR...

from the film Gold Diggers of 1933
We're in the money, we're in the money;
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
We're in the money, that sky is sunny,
Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.
We never see a headline about breadlines today.
And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money, come on, my honey,
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!
Oh, yes we're in the money, you bet we're in the money,
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
Let's go we're in the money, Look up the skies are sunny,
Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.
We never see a headline about breadlines today.
And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money, come on, my honey,
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!
I get a bunch of comment spam too. Luckily, I've got a spam blocking software though. Basically, the comments are either blocked outright or are forced to be approved. Works nicely, especially the newest version.
I like answer 2.
Posted by: Elliott at March 4, 2005 03:08 PMMany of the coments here are blocked as well, but since the spammers create new domains every day I keep having to add the new ones. elsiesdomain.com uses MT for the blog software and MT-Blacklist Version 1.6.5 to block spam. About once a week I go through and update the spam filters and despam the blogs hosted here. Even with the spam blocker active all the blogs hosted here together (including the old archives of afrosoft.org) get probably 500 spams a week! Now imagine if I didn't have any ad blocking software here at all.............
