Забавный вариант известных “нигерийских писем” сегодня свалился в Junk:

“PRIVATE AND BRIEF,READ CAREFULLY.

Dear Friend,

I am Larisa Sosnitskaya and I represent Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in Russia. I have a very sensitive and confidential brief from this top (oligarch) to ask for your partnership in re-profiling funds US$46 Million. I will give the details, but in summary,the funds are coming via Bank Menatep. This is a legitimate transaction.
You will be paid 20% as your commission/compensation for your active efforts and contribution to the success of this transaction.

If you are interested, please do indicate by providing me with your confidential telephone number, fax number and email address and I will provide
further details and instructions.

Please keep this confidential, as we cannot afford more political problems.

Please do send me your responses soon as possible via my personal email: lsosnits@aol.co.uk

Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Larisa”

Как же откровенно заеб.. затрахала MS с использованием BIOS часов в Windows как локальных вместо UTC. Помимо проблем с двойной загрузкой других OS это еще и редкостный геморрой при программировании приложений которые должны корректно переносить смену часовых поясов, летнего режима времени и прочего. ИДИОТЫ!

Слабый лепет в оправдание этого безобразия:

Ну и самый правильный комментарий оттуда:

“re: Why does Windows keep your BIOS clock on local time?
Thursday, September 02, 2004 10:43 AM by Roland Kaufmann
Local time is bad because it is neither continuously nor monotonously increasing. Period. Using it as your internally yardstick is equally stupid. Interestingly, NTFS keeps time in UTC, which indicates that at least someone around the block still had their senses.

Second, hadn’t it been for the fact that timezone is implemented as a machine instead of a user property, there would have been no problems. Observe the problems that occurred before time zone redirection was implemented in Terminal Server (And why only there? Obviously the kernel now has the capability to keep a time zone per logon session).

As for the backward compatibility argument: Who cared about the users who had RealTimeIsUniversal=1?Appearantly none, because it is still broken as of XPsp2, after umpteen years of complaining from users. Instead, users that mysteriously find it easier to set their clock in the BIOS than in the system notification area are catered to. Most end-users I know, are not even aware that there *is* a BIOS setup.”

Для перевода MP3 тегов из виндовой кодировки (cp1251) в UTF-8 берем id3conv-0.2.1.jar
с http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~zf/id3iconv/.

Командная строка будет что-то типа:
java -jar id3iconv-0.2.1.jar -removev1 -e cp1251 “Music/Машина Времени/”*

id3conv не поддерживает рекурсию, потому напишем небольшой скрипт:

#!/bin/bash
PWD=`pwd`
for file in `find $PWD -name “*.mp3″`
do
java -jar id3iconv-0.2.1.jar -removev1 -e cp1251 “$file”
done

В общем и все.

P.S. Обнаружил что скрип выше не будет работать с именами в которых есть пробелы (“find” возвращает их как отдельные результаты), исправленный скрипт:

#!/bin/bash
PWD=`pwd`
find $PWD -name ‘*.mp3’ | while read i; do
java -jar id3iconv-0.2.1.jar -removev1 -e cp1251 “$i”
done
