<title>Skewz.com Founder Vipul Vyas Answers Your Questions About Media Bias</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/270037350/article.pl</link>
<description>You asked questions about Skewz.com on April 2nd and April 3rd. Here are your answers. This media bias stuff is tricky to deal with. Both Skewz and Microsoft's Blewz are trying, anyway. Skewz people say they want to jump into the conversation attached to this post, so if you have any follow-up questions please feel free to ask them.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/14/1337232&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/04/14/1337232"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/14/1337232&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Ask Skewz.com Founder About Detecting Media Bias</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/262782262/article.pl</link>
<description>Skewz.com is not the Microsoft-funded Blews experiment that is supposed to help detect rightness and leftness in stories based on blogs that link to them. Instead of detecting blog links, Skewz relies on readers to submit and rate stories, and even tries to pair stories that have "liberal" and "conservative" biases so that you can get multiple takes on the same event or pronouncement. The Skewz About page explains how it works. The site has drawn a fair amount of "media insider" attention, including a writeup on the Poynter Institute website. But what does all this mean? Where is it going? Can Skewz.com help us sort our news better and make more informed decisions? We don't know. But if you post a question here for founder Vipul Vyas, maybe he'll have an answer for you. (Please try to follow the usual Slashdot interview rules.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/02/1332224&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/04/02/1332224"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/02/1332224&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Oregon Senate Candidate Steve Novick Answers Your Questions</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/259708689/article.pl</link>
<description>Wow. More politicians (of all parties) need to be as open and thorough as Steve Novick is here. We selected 10 of the questions you submitted and sent them to him by email, and his responses... let's just say that if every candidate spoke out like Steve, we'd have a much clearer view of our choices and would be able to cast our votes a lot more rationally.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/28/1445207&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/03/28/1445207"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/28/1445207&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Talk to This Year's Quirkiest Senatorial Candidate</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/253717320/article.pl</link>
<description>Not many candidates for the U.S. Senate are 4'9" tall and only have one hand. But Oregon Democrat Steve Novick qualifies on both counts -- and uses them as pluses in his TV ads. Like this one, where he shows why he's the best beer-drinking partner among all the candidates. Or this one, where it's obvious why he's for "the little guy." Also, as far as we know, he's the only candidate this year for any major office who has his own brand of beer. And his online campaign manager is a major Slashdot junkie, too, which is certainly in his favor. But will humor and oddness get Steve into the Senate? We don't know. So ask him. In fact, ask him anything else you'd like about campaigning and politics. He's promised to respond, and seems like the kind of guy who will give interesting answers, at that. (Please follow Slashdot interview rules, as always.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/18/1442206&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/03/18/1442206"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/18/1442206&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Air Force Cyber Command General Answers Slashdot Questions</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/250199720/article.pl</link>
<description>Here are the answers to your questions for Major General William T. Lord, who runs the just-getting-off-the ground Air Force Cyber Command. Before you ask: yes, his answers were checked by both PR and security people. Also, please note that this interview is a "first," in that Generals don't typically take questions from random people on forums like Slashdot, and that it is being watched all the way up the chain of command into the Pentagon. Many big-wigs will read what you post here -- and a lot of them are interested in what you say and may even use your suggestions to help set future recruiting and operational policies. A special "thank you" goes to Maj. Gen. Lord for participating in this experiment, along with kudos to the (necessarily anonymous) people who helped us arrange this interview.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/12/1427252&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/03/12/1427252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/12/1427252&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>New Book Cuts Through Violent Video Game Myths</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/247642649/article.pl</link>
<description>Terry Bosky suggests a recent interview from Game Couch with one of the authors of an upcoming book which fights the "myths and hysteria" surrounding violent video games. Dr. Cheryl K. Olson explains how many of the studies linking aggression with video games were flawed or misguided, and she discusses some of her own findings. Quoting: "Until now, the most-publicized studies came from a small group of experimental psychologists, studying college students playing nonviolent or violent games for 15 minutes. It's debatable whether those studies are relevant to real children, playing self-selected games for their own reasons (not for cash or extra credit!), in social settings, over many years. But media reports and political rhetoric often ignore that distinction. Also, the most-published researchers have built their careers around media violence. Their studies were designed under the assumption that violent video games are harmful, which dictated the questions they asked and how they framed their results. Media violence is just a small part of what we do, so we could look at the issue with fresh eyes and no agenda."&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/07/226235&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/03/07/226235"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/07/226235&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Ask the Air Force Cyber Command General About War in Cyberspace</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/243477021/article.pl</link>
<description>We ran an article about the new Air Force Cyber Command and its recruiting efforts on February 13, 2008. Now Major General William Lord, who is in charge of this effort, has agreed to answer Slashdot users' questions. If you're thinking about joining up -- or just curious -- this is a golden opportunity to learn how our military is changing its command structure and recruiting efforts to deal with "cyberspace as a warfighting domain."

"The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has been running online ads for several years saying that "Each year 1 in 5 children is sexually solicited online", a statistic that has been endlessly repeated, including by vendors of blocking software and by politicians who often paraphrase it to say that 1 in 5 children "are approached by online predators". While others have quietly documented the problems with this statistic, lawmakers still bring it out every year in a push for more online regulation (preempted this year only by the topic du jour of cyberbullying), so it's time for anti-censorship organizations to start campaigning more aggressively against the misleading "1 in 5" number. That means two things: framing the debate with more accurate numbers, and holding the parties accountable for disseminating the wrong ones -- and that means naming names, including those of organizations like the NCMEC that are normally beyond reproach." Read below for the rest.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/26/1322248&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/02/26/1322248"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/26/1322248&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Hi, I Want To Meet (17.6% of) You!</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/237646757/article.pl</link>
<description>Frequent Slashdot contributor Bennett Haselton wants to make online dating better. Here's how he wants to do it. "Suppose you're an entrepreneur who wants to break into the online personals business, but you face impossible odds because everybody wants to go where everybody else already is (basically, either Match.com or Yahoo Personals). Here is a suggestion that would give you an edge. In a nutshell: Each member lists the criteria for people that they are looking for. Then when people contact them, they choose whether or not to respond. After the system has been keeping track of who contacts you and who you respond to, the site lists your profile in other people's search results along with your criteria-specific response rate: "Lisa has responded to 56% of people who contacted her who meet her criteria." Read on for the rest of his thoughts.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/19/1419207&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/02/19/1419207"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/19/1419207&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>The D&amp;amp;D Designers Answer Your Questions</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/237630497/article.pl</link>
<description>In January we had the chance to ask the designers of Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition a few questions about the new version of the classic tabletop game. The Wizards of the Coast Community Manager, Mike "Gamer_Zer0" Lescault put our questions to members of the development team, including: Andrew Collins, Chris Perkins, Scott Rouse, and Sara Girard. Some of the questions weren't quite answered in as much detail as I would have liked. That said, they've given us a great opportunity to follow up on their responses. If you have a follow-up question, put it in a comment below (one question per comment please). We'll pass on five of the best, and the designers will answer your question on-camera at the Dungeons and Dragons Experience at the end of this month. We'll post the video to the site early in March. This is a great chance to put a face to some legendary designer names, and get your unanswered issues resolved. Get asking.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/18/1459259&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/02/18/1459259"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/18/1459259&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Ron Paul Campaign Answers Slashdot Reader Questions</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/229696536/article.pl</link>
<description>On January 15th we asked you for tech-oriented questions we could send to the various presidential candidates, and you responded like mad. The candidates were the exact opposite: not a single one answered emails we sent to their "media inquiry" links or email addresses. Slashdot has more readers than all but a handful of major daily papers, so that's kind of strange. Maybe they figure our votes aren't worth much or that hardly any of us vote. In any case, the Ron Paul campaign finally responded, due to some string-pulling by a Slashdot reader who knows some of Ron Paul's Texas campaign people. Perhaps other Slashdot readers -- like you (hint hint) -- can pull a few strings with some of the other campaigns and get them to communicate with us. Use this email address, please. But first, you'll probably want to read the Ron Paul campaign's answers to your questions (below).&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/05/1511225&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/02/05/1511225"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/05/1511225&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>I wanted to start out this interview by thanking Joel Hodgson, MST3k creator and soon to be star of Cinematic Titanic. I've been a fan so long, I can't even remember when. I've been shuttling my MST coffee mug from desk to desk for like 15 years now, so I'm pretty pumped that he'd waste your time with us.

<title>Ask the Presidential Candidates</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/217139998/article.pl</link>
<description>This is your usual Slashdot reader-generated interview, except we're only going to pick five questions, not 10, and we're going to send the same five questions to all the major-party presidential candidates and publish each one's answers (in our Politics section) as soon as we get them. Please try to come up with questions the candidates have not been asked in the many interviews and debates to which they've already been subjected, all of which have been notably light on Slashdot-popular topics such as software patents, Internet regulations, and computer file formats. Note, too, that we have no idea how many candidates (if any) will actually answer, and that whether their campaign staffs do or do not think you are worth a few moments of their time is telling in and of itself.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/15/1523214&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/01/15/1523214"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/15/1523214&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Ask the Designers of D&amp;amp;D Fourth Edition</title>
<link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/217082519/article.pl</link>
<description>This past August, big news dropped in the tabletop gaming community: 2008 would see the release of a fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Since then the official D&amp;amp;D Insider site, and communities like the excellent ENWorld, have been doing their best to keep us up to date on the ins and outs of the newest way to dungeon-delve. With the release just five months away, we've been given a chance to put some questions to the team developing the game. One question per post, if you would, and we'll make sure to pass the best questions on to the designers. Don't forget to ask about the online version of the D&amp;amp;D tools as well! We'll get their answers back to you as soon as we get them, so fire away.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/07/0245230&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;&lt;img src="http://interviews.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;amp;op=image&amp;amp;style=h0&amp;amp;sid=08/01/07/0245230"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/07/0245230&amp;amp;from=rss"&gt;Read more of this story&lt;/a&gt; at Slashdot.&lt;/p&gt;
