If I get in your car that's just laying there on the street and "borrow" it for a week without telling you anything, do you think the court will question whether I overstepped my bounds? Do you think I can avoid getting slapped?

After all, I do have the right to drive cars, including cars which I don't own.

They're not really meta-data - they describe aspects of the sound recording, just like a list of notes and durations would (ie a MIDI file derived from analysing the recording).
I remember my elementary school got robbed. We had to sit in the auditorium for a while until they led us past the crime scene into our classrooms. I still remember a forensics guy picking up one of those plastic barrel juice boxes with tweezers and thinking about how ridiculous he looked. They ended up stealing some video cameras and stuff (back in the day pricey), but the police believed they had some inside information because they seemed to know exactly where to go.

Pretty much anywhere with windows is vulnerable. Break window, reach through, unlock door. I think that's what those robbers did.

The other article given in comments here ( http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2011/06/the_clock_in_... ) has a lot more detail on this.

The paras around the picture "Testing the longevity of materials in space on the MISSE" are quite informative. Testing materials in space... I think they're taking it quite seriously.
Really. Mentioning model number wouldn't really be much use, but here is what I have now: A Dell Studio XPS Laptop with 256GB SSD, 4GB ram, 2.4GHz Core i5 dual-core CPU, 15.6" 1920x1080 LED display, built-in bluetooth, 802.11n wifi and the very important 3G module.

The MBP offer I got for a 70% higher price was: 128GB SSD, 4GB ram, 2.4GHz Core2 Duo CPU, a sub-HD LCD display. For full HD I had to go almost up to an almost 20" "laptop". Wth. And it still wouldn't be a LED-screen. Built-in 3G module is not an option and I would be forced to carry around a stupid dongle for internet access. Screw that.

Anyway: The MBP has 1. better casing, 2. an inferior last-gen CPU, 3. an inferior capacity drive, 4. no built-in 3G option, 5. an inferior low-contrast, low-DPI screen. And it costs 70% more. I'm not paying that much for better casing and ability to run OSX in a supported state. No way.

* The current MBP lineup now may be different but that was what I was offered when I went out shopping and ended up with this laptop. The price difference is very, very clear. The MBP is only an option for those already bitten by Mac-addiction.

Just to be upfront about the prices offered: The Dell-option just below 14000 NOK (Google it). The Apple-option: slightly above 23000 NOK. Not even a real question at that point.

Since graduating a year ago, I seem to have turned into a Windows guy, simply because I use it all day at work.

Having a reflective moment a couple of weeks ago, I decided to learn something completely different (for me) and try Ruby. Not wanting to become type-cast as a Windows guy, I chose to do it on a unix based system. For this, I use an Ubuntu image in Virtual Box, and have been very happy.

> I just feel 'safer' in Windows.

I guess I could say I'm the same, though I think its more down to simply preferring Windows 7's UI/UX over the likes of Gnome and KDE. I've also tried customising a whole variety Linux window mangers, but always gave up.

So what I'm doing now is using Virtual Box in headless mode, then ssh-ing in with X-forwarding enabled. This gives me new icons in Windows 7's task bar for every 'remote' Linux window I have open. (though really I don't use much more than a terminal and maybe gvim). To an observer looking over my shoulder, it would just appear that the 'remote' Linux applications are native Windows programs.

[edit] I didn't really address your point about the learning curve to learning a new OS. This is valid issue and all I can suggest is to give it a try, and using a VM is an easy way to just dip in. You can get pre-installed Virtual Box images for many Linux distros such that it is really easy to get started. Unfortunately, my set-up took quite a bit of effort to get started (even with my familiarity with unix), but using a full-screen Linux VM is a good place to get started.

I guess what I was describing is just where you can go with it once you're comfortable.

And yet the US game producers keep insisting on ridiculous (and easily crackable) anti-piracy measures.

We're also just going to have to get over the desire to charge somebody $40-50 for a game that costs them $20/mo too. That just reeks of greediness.

Valve is really starting to catch on to this idea, even without the Korean/Chinese model, they've always innovated in terms of game distribution.

I think a neat idea would be to create 1U - 4U lock doors that could be bolted in front of a server in a rack.

I wonder if this would be enough to give each server it's own legal "separate space" insomuch as to prevent a whole rack from being seized due to warrants like this.

Your TV+microconsole (or your computer) becomes a gaming thin client. The game runs in the cloud, and only the sound, display, and controller actions are transmitted between the thin client and gaming server. i.e. the Netflix model

I got the microconsole for $50 with a free game, and I must say, it works surprisingly well.
It makes a lot of sense in the app store, simply because there's no way to 'try before you buy' otherwise. The basic store page gives relatively little information about how the app runs and behaves.
Hmm, does that work? It sounds like it will cost a shitload for them to do the rendering on the server, plus a second shitload in bandwidth costs, plus the latency will be high...
As art, it doesn't seem particularly interesting or clever or striking. Which is really too bad, because Davis of all people might have appreciated a roughened, technially imperfected image that somehow did something new.

But this looks to me like a very low-resolution duplicate. Only on inspection do I see elements that say "pixel", and these aren't particularly important or interesting. All the examples cited by the OP are considerably more different from the original than the image in question.

To get more clearly into the category of "fair use", I would think the art would need more significant differentiation. To an unexpert eye, these might be things like:
- Variation of the palette into something typical of an NES game
- Revisit the perspective to make it more two-dimensional, as an older video game would (the image clearly depicts Davis at an angle in a way we wouldn't have expected in an 80s game console)
- More exaggerated usage of "pixelized" elements
- Introduction of elements / themes /motifs from other pixel art pieces
- Turn the image upside down, put curious, "where the hell am I?" look on Davis' face
- Pixelized chipmunk
- Pixelized Thelonious Monk

If the idea here wasn't to invest a lot of time into the image itself, and have some that plays the marketing role of 1950s cover art, then do something evocative but more clearly distinct.

Finding the line between "derivative" and "creative" is not a computable problem. But it gets a lot easier with the quality of the art. But it seems to me the photographer has a point. Especially when I consider that the image real does look like a low-res JPEG -- if he tolerates that, the next question will be the difference between this and an actual low-res JPEG.

Now, could he have been nicer about it? I would certainly think it better to start with "hey knock it off". But maybe I don't everything that went before the settlement.
See, Team America: World Police for clarification.
Agreed on this point. You have to choose your battles, and this is a lose-lose battle. Even if he would fight, win and receive some type of compensation, that's unlikely to be greater than what you had to give up in the fight.

I pronounce it DAY-mun when speaking to other UNIX hackers and DEE-mun when speaking to windows users or regular users. I've never been formerly told how to pronounce it when I started hacking in Redhat. Since most early hackers were smarter than most I assumed there was some sort of word trickery involved (met another guy that pronounced it DAY-EE-mun) that would make me stick out like a newb.

The only merit that the pixellated version had was that it was a (not very) processed version of an iconic image. I'm with the photographer on this one.

I don't know where the idea that Linux-based netbooks don't have an app ecosystem comes from, but I wish it would go away. It's like apt-get doesn't exist, or something.
Yep. Some governmental institutions such as the Israeli Social Security have their websites up during Sabbath (Saturday), but do not accept payments.

Supposedly, because just having the server up does not require any manual labor, but accepting a payments constitutes trade, which is forbidden during Sabbath.

(Nevermind the fact that an institution which entire purpose is to assist those in need is the most non-accessible organization ever - from not having accessible entrances to buildings, to their payments gateway which supports IE only. Yes, IE is the ONLY browser officially supported).
It isn't clear to me that the users clicking the most popular version of their ad were not more interested in beer than in their product.

`Smartphone' is only half the answer to `who killed the netbook?'. `The hype' is the other half.

Perhaps surprisingly to us, the proverbial `average consumer' does not understand performance and ergonomics aspects of hardware very well. To most of them, an measly 7''...10'' screen seems just as good for productivity and ergonomics as a decent 17'' or a tight 15''. They don't realize the storage (be it harddrive or SSD) is much slower than in larger computers, and RAM is underprovisioned. The hype was there, the price was right, and netbooks sold like hot buns.

But one size did not fit all, and now we have some satisfied owners and some dissatisfied ones. The admin at my workplace is very satisfied; a netbook is his ternary computer (after a desktop and yes, an Android smartphone), it delivers just what he needs when he's on the move. But the folks who bought a netbook as their main computer are oft dissatisfied; the hardware simply did not live up to the expectations. Heck, a decent smartphone (say, Nokia N950) is pretty much as beefy as an average netbook.

The netbook rose by the hype, and now is `dying' by it: undergoing severe market shrinkage, to match supply to actual demand for cheap ultraportables, probably as secondary device.

Amusingly enough, according to Wikipedia, the concept of full disclosure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_disclosure) originated with locksmiths in the 1800s.

And even back then, they got it right:

> with real facts will, in the end, be better for all parties.

Because US has intra-state fiscal transfers. Money is transferred from one state to another, indirectly. So richer states in some senses subsidize the poorer states. And they can borrow based on their combined financial outlook.( aka Federal Bonds). So you have a fiscal policy that is somewhat cohesive, a monetary policy that is completely cohesive. And this is why US states cannot have different currencies.

Besides long story short, inter state trade would be severely burdened by different currencies. One of the primary reasons for Euro was to facilitate trade.

Not really only in Germany. For instance Nordea Denmark closes its online bank between 2 am and 5 am. Probably because they don't have staff at those times to prevent scammers from transferring money out and people rarely need to use banking during those hours.

You (e.g. the government and its cronies) start screaming - we need more control for your security! They are coming for your beer! These hackers are trying to take away your refrigerator!

And Joe Sixpack will gladly turn over any liberties he has.

Just like with TSA. Joe Sixpack obviously couldn't care less. He doesn't care that it is costing him insane amounts of money, he doesn't care that security doesn't really work. He doesn't care about body scanners. Hell I bet that if TSA went and mandated that a random passengers need provide anal relief to TSA agents - JSP would not really care. Because he is a true patriot(tm).

All you need to do is to perform a Jedi mind trick: "You feel safer now."
I can see how the iPad is a direct competitor to the netbook market, but the MacBook Air? I thought the comparisons were ridiculous at the time, and still do. I have enormous trouble imagining someone actually trying to decide between the two---price, size and specs were in completely different worlds.
I think you're more than justified in assuming no compromise happened. Someone with legitimate authority had physical access to your server. That has happened before and will happen again. Your server's cage opens several times a month, probably, as techs and whatnot do their icky atom-touching sorcery. Physical access to your server by the adversary means untraceable compromise, sure, but if that is true, hasn't it happened before? (Sure, the techs might be more trustworthy than the FBI... Unless they were the FBI, which is paranoid squared, but if you think that agents executing a warrant routinely grab servers in the vicinity because, hey, computers tend to have juicy stuff on them and we have way too much free time, then assuming infiltration seems almost reasonable by comparison.)

In a threat environment this bad, you would personally be scrutinizing sign-in lists every month. You have better things to do, right? Right. Because this is really not Instapaper's threat environment. You got mildly inconvenienced as a side-effect of routine government operations. You can pick whether you want to escalate that to A Full Crisis. That seems like a bad call, which you recognize on the legal side. Do it on the security side, too.

You may think that vocal parties will disagree with "This was a non-event for us.". They might. Screw them. You're a CEO; dealing with paranoid ramblings does not generate business value like two months of normal operations does.
I have seen in my local newspaper an example of a burglar who has been photographed, but who still isn't caught.
