Results of the JUTA Award (1)

Here are the results, based on 24 replies to the JUTA Award, to recognise an organisation or person who "jumps up and take action" to put things right.

I have excluded over 30 responses from the same IP address, giving the same answer in favour of one organisation. This hacker managed to bypass the security feature in the survey software to prevent repeat entries.

The survey is still open. Vote here.

    Mr. Tan, can you explain how to interpret the percentages? Thanks.

    The score given to each vote is: no=0%, neutral=50%, yes=100%. The average score given for all those who vote is shown above.

    For example, if everybody replied "no", the score is 0%. If equal number replied "no" and "yes", the score is 50%. If everybody replied "neutral", the score is also 50%.

    A score below 50% means more "no" than "yes".

    Mr. Tan,

    The same "IP" address could be the web proxy. In Singapore, due to the ISP being required to be able to impose censorship as and when it is required, all subscribers surf the web via a proxy. This proxy is known as the "transparent proxy" because the subscriber is not required to configure the IP address of the web proxy on his browser. However, from the destination web server point of view, it appears to be coming from the same IP address. Actually it is the ISP's web proxy IP address it is seeing.

    I doubt anyone who want to hack this survey. Very foolish
