This is the first volume in a projected series of four, dedicated to the orchestral works of the Norwegian composerJohan Svendsen. As a composer, Svendsen was intrigued and inspired by the new trends in music represented by Wagner, Berlioz, and Liszt, a fascination which is evident in the works on this disc: programme music and rhapsodies. They are performed by the same strong partnership that brought us the highly acclaimed Halvorsen series: the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, and Marianne Thorsen on violin under Neeme Järvi, a conductor noted for his recordings of Nordic repertoire.
Svendsen experienced a defining moment in his career in Bayreuth in 1872, when he played in the first violin section of Richard Wagner's own orchestra. He and Wagner met and struck up a close friendship. It was during this time in Bayreuth that Svendsen completed Carnival in Paris, the 'Episode for Orchestra', Op. 9. When Wagner one day
looked over the score, he hummed delightedly and said, 'It looks amusing!' – a fitting description of this festive work which shows the influence of Berlioz in its colourful orchestration and clear contrasts. Humour, joy, and breathtaking virtuosity are contrasted with moments of pure romance and lyrical beauty. The premiere was a great success, Edward Grieg, who was present, being overwhelmed by the orchestration.
The Festival Polonaise, Op. 12 was composed in honour of the Coronation of the Swedish-Norwegian King Oscar II and Queen Sophie, and brims with a sense of pomp and ceremony suitable for the grand occasion. The work strikes a vivid contrast to Ifjol gjett e gjeitin (Last year I was tending the mountain goats), a charming set of variations for strings on a Norwegian folk tune. It became one of the composer's great successes, as did the orchestral masterpiece about ill-fated love, Zorahayda, described by the composer as a 'Legend for Orchestra'.
"...The Bergen Philharmonic ... is a finely honed ensemble and turns in committed performances under Neeme Järvi. Chandos's sound is predictably full and generous. One looks forward to future volumes in the series. "
Robert Markow – Fanfare – May/June 2012
Riccardo Cassani - Musica magazine - March 2012
"...Thus several facets of Svendsen's art can be appreciated here; legend, tone poem, orchestrations, folksongs, rhapsodies, and a juicy polonaise. The recordings bloom very nicely and the Bergen orchestra plays with polish and enthusiasm. These are pretty much front-runners now ... CD-minded listeners will be delighted with the new Chandos series.
Jonathan Woolf - Musicweb-international.com - 9 March 2012
"...With the exception of the famous Romance in G (Thorsen's is nicely realised), there are few competitors for the works included here and none have gathered on the same disc. Järvi once again draws some refined and vibrant playing from the Bergen Philharmonic and Chando's warm sound is vivid and bright."
Guy Rickards – Gramophone magazine – January 2012
"...I greatly enjoyed this CD and look forward to coming volumes!"
Raymond S Tuttle - International Record Review - December 2011

When you fall off the horse, so the saying goes, you should get back on it as soon as possible.
So it is with football; redemption for a poor performance or a stinging, morale-sapping defeat is only ever 90 minutes away and back to form City pocketed three deserved points from an open and entertaining contest.
Having chased German shadows for much of Wednesday night's damage limitation Champions League exercise, this was more like the thrusting, vibrant, dominant team that continues to head the betting lists for the Premier League title.
Despite their dominance in terms of chances created, the home side contrived to fall a goal behind after a series of defence errors in terms of positioning and tackling left loan signing Romelu Lukaka to fire through the exposed Joe Hart in the 16th minute.
Fortunately it took only a minute for the equaliser to arrive courtesy of the free-scoring Alvardo Negredo who pounced after some neat work around the edge of the box by David Silva and Yaya Toure.
Thereafter, in a pleasantly open first half, City had comfortably the best of the chances. A wonderfully constructed move straight from the training ground ought to have yielded a second but Sergio Aguero curled his shot wide after Fernandinho, Silva and Toure combined to leave the Everton defence resembling so many rabbits stuck in headlights.
James Milner's corner was deflected against the post and Aguero miskicked when well placed before the Argentine atoned just before the break.
Silva, somewhere near to his mercurial, Merlin best, threaded the pass; Aguero defeated the off-side trap in a photo finish and then drilled a right foot shot beyond Tim Howard to give City the lead they deserved.
It was a fine pick-me-up after the chastening events of midweek. Of course facing Everton rather than Bayern Munich, who are the best team in Europe and very possibly the world, is a very different proposition but the Merseyside team invigorated by a raft of summer changes are no patsies and arrived at the Etihad Stadium as the only unbeaten side in the English top flight.
All the more reason, then, to celebrate the Sky Blues latest home win – a fourth in four in the league this season.
Pellegrini unsurprisingly kept faith with the under-fire but highly talented Hart but reacted to the midweek reverse by making other changes to his starting line-up. Pablo Zabaleta, Joleon Lescott, Milner, Silva, Kolarov and Negredo all started in place of Micah Richards, Matija Nastasic, Samir Nasri, Edin Dzeko, Jesus Navas, and Gael Clichy.
For Everton there was no Gareth Barry who has made such an impact since City loaned him to the Goodison Park side before the start of the season.
They probably could have done with his calming experience for at times the Toffees were a little too helter-skelter for their own good.
Having turned around a goal down they were forced to come out looking for parity and that led to more entertainment for another sold out Etihad crowd who saw plenty of blood to go with the sweat as full backs Zabaleta and Kolarov both got nasty blows to the face.
Kolarov's cut was deep enough to end his afternoon before Aguero sealed the points from the penalty spot, with the aid of Howard and the post.
The award came in the 69th minute after Seamus Coleman had a pull at Zabaleta's arm. As penalties go it was soft but the referee had no alternative but to point to the spot. The goal will likely go to review and will probably end up as a Howard own goal.
Whoever ends up with the goal, it took the sting out of Everton's challenge and City were comfortable winners. Howard saved his side further scoreboard embarrassment by fisting away a Negredo pile driver and the home side went into the international break at the gallop.
Indeed, the only downside of the afternoon for City was the first half loss of captain Vincent Kompany who limped off with a thigh strain.

Camp Confidential: Chargers primed for Super Bowl push
SAN DIEGO -- Whenever Shawne Merriman feels the urge to push himself, all he has to do is show up at the San Diego Chargers' practice field.

By Ralph Hipp
After being voted out of his job by Topeka's City Council last year, former City Manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr. ventured back into the job market after failed job searches in Grand Rapids and Wichita. He may have thought he found the perfect place when he became City Manager of Sanford, Florida last September.
Sanford, about 45 miles north of Orlando, was originally known as the celery capital of the world. But the nation now knows Sanford as the city where 17-year old Trayvon Martin was shot in a gated Sanford community known as the Retreat at Twin Lakes last month. I will leave it to you to keep your eyes and ears on the articles and video reports coming out of Sanford this week. The cries are deafening for Sanford Police to arrest suspected gunman and security guard George Zimmerman. Rev. Al Sharpton will lead the next major rally tomorrow night on the accusations that this was an unprovoked hate crime against the teen, who'd gone to a convenience to buy Skittles and iced tea for his little brother. Friends call George Zimmerman a mild mannered guy who liked his job patrolling the gated community, and believe his claims he fired his weapon to defend himself on the job. Police reports say his nose and back of his head were bleeding after a fight he had with Martin.
The Sanford City website says part of City Manager Norton Bonaparte's job includes enforcing city laws and supervising operations of the its police department. Summoned to Washington this week by Attorney General Eric Holder (along with Sanford's mayor) Bonaparte is returning home to louder calls for him to fire Police Chief Bill Lee, Jr.. who like Bonaparte, has been on the job for less than a year. The media reports you have no doubt heard also include searing criticism of Florida's self-defense law, which critics warned would allow criminals to break laws or kill under the guise of self defense. But the NRA rallied behind the measure, saying Floridians who carry and use weapons to protect themselves and their property, will legally be in the right.
Justice Department probes are underway, and criticism of the incident and of the weapons law being heard loud and clear from Tallahassee. Norton Bonaparte is going to be right in the middle of the controversy. It will make Topeka's scrap metal thefts look like a Boy Scout outing, and whether Bonaparte will think taking the job in Sanford, Florida was worth it. I'd appreciate your thoughts. rh

OK, so I played Legend of the Five Rings (2nd edition) years ago and enjoyed it. When asked what he wanted for a present he replied: "an rpg campaign! But it should be different, not one of the one's I've played so far!" So I figured L5R should be different enough and easy enough.. I had a blast, had the best story ever and we basically only used d10s. We tried a one shot right away and I realized I needed more of a refresher course than I expected especially since the rules aren't clearly written out.
Is there any place where the full process of combat is clearly stated? From initiative to any sort of bonus for rolling a 20.

I want to prevent the user from being able to stream to remote speakers with any client on their laptop. Is there a way to globally disable AirPlay on a Mac OS X (10.6 or 10.7) system?
It appears you can use managed preferences (MCX) to disableAppleTV:
..but that will only affect iTunes, and I don't have an AppleTV on hand to test.
Unfortunately, Apple hasn't provided an easy way to disable this functionality. However you can deny global access to the application that provides AirPlay mirroring by changing its unix permissions
In order to disable AirPlay mirroring, we have to deny the computer access to the application that allows the computer to AirPlay mirror: Fire up a terminal and enter the following command:
Enter the administrative password and restart the Mac afterwards. If you try to AirPlay mirror to an AppleTV now, the AirPlay icon will stay blue, as if it's still trying to connect but it never will.
The only disadvantage is that it locks up the menubar. The user won't be able to use any of the menu bar items after they tried mirroring the screen. You're still able to adjust the volume using the keyboard, though. Logging out and back in will restore the functionality of the menubar until you try to use AirPlay mirroring again.
To eliminate the temptation of using AirPlay you can hide the AirPlay icon by opening System Preferences > Displays and unchecking the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" checkbox. You will need to repeat this step for every user on the system.
It has been a while since I set up Airplay, with Airport express, Airport extreme, and Apple TV, my airplay is password protected. Below is a link to an apple article about setting up airplay using Airport utility.

When you are charged with a crime, it's your right to appear before a court of law and answer to the charges. But some current and former inmates of the Logan County Detention Center claim that right has been overlooked. As a result, they claim they've served extra time behind bars due to an added charge for "failure to appear."
One former inmate claims he repeatedly informed jail officials that he needed to be in court, but that no one would take him. The jail claims it's up to the pretrial officer to inform it when an inmate needs to be in court. Then the jail contacts the Sheriff's Department who physically transports the inmate to court.
Logan County's pretrial officer says she was not aware of the problem and declined further comment. The Chief Deputy of the jail says he too is unaware of any problem. However, Sheriff Dannie Blick says he has heard of the problem, but that his hands are tied. He adds that if his office is notified of a transport, the department makes sure the inmate gets there.
Meanwhile, many inmates are left with added time or higher fines due to the problem.

Why do we say Shalom Alaichem to one person if Alaichem is plural?
Is it saying you and all of the Jews? Is that why it's plural?
Why do we say Shalom Alaichem to one person if Alaichem is plural?
Is it saying you and all of the Jews? Is that why it's plural?
I have a good friend who says "Shalom Alecha" to me during kiddush levana. In fact this is the nusach brought in the by the Rama in the Shulchan Aruch (OC 426:2) and it's also in the Tur (OC 426). (Note that the Bach there comments that this is the proper version of the text.) I always smile and respond "Aleichem Shalom."
The greeting Shalom Alecha, in the singular form, appears in dozens of places in the Talmud.
I suspect that the usage of Sholom Aleichem stems from the famous song Friday night, where we are addressing multiple angels.
In addition, it is considered respectful to address elders using the plural form, and this usage may have become more commonplace since we usually use the words Shalom Aleichem when we are being a bit more formal.
Like the "royal we" except giving respect to others instead of ourselves
I heard in the name of the Hafes Haim (and it is brought down in Ben Yehoyada Berachot 3) that one has two angels that are with someone during the week, and two different ones that come on Shabbat (that's why we say Setechem LeShalom).
It could be, that the person who is greeting you is also greeting the angels.
This is clearly as a show of respect. The second person plural can be used to show respect in Hebrew. Also in Arabic an almost identical greeting is universally used, "As-Salamu Alaykum". Seems pretty clear that this is something that goes back quite a long way in Middle Eastern culture including Judaism.
I once heard that at Kiddush Levana we say Shalom Aleichem - in plural - since we do not want to make the same error the moon made when it complained that 2 kings can not serve at the same time, therefore we say plural to include the moon and the sun. However this would not answer why when you meet a fellow on the street do we say it in plural.
Way back when, a few decades ago, in Yeshiva Ketanah, I was told that we are accompanied by two angels, which is the reason for the pluralization of Alecha.
The Wikipedia entry for Shalom aleichem says that the reason for the plural form is that one greets both the body and the soul.... (no source is given for this however)

On Randall Munroe's new blog "what if", he answers the question:
"What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light?"
He concludes:
… the air molecules in front of this ball don't have time to be jostled out of the way. The ball smacks into them hard that the atoms in the air molecules actually fuse with the atoms in the ball's surface. Each collision releases a burst of gamma rays and scattered particles.
These gamma rays and debris expand outward in a bubble centered on the pitcher's mound. They start to tear apart the molecules in the air, ripping the electrons from the nuclei and turning the air in the stadium into an expanding bubble of incandescent plasma.
… Suppose you're watching from a hilltop outside the city. The first thing you see is a blinding light, far outshining the sun. This gradually fades over the course of a few seconds, and a growing fireball rises into a mushroom cloud. Then, with a great roar, the blast wave arrives, tearing up trees and shredding houses.
Everything within roughly a mile of the park is leveled, and a firestorm engulfs the surrounding city. The baseball diamond is now a sizable crater, centered a few hundred feet behind the former location of the backstop.
Is that all actually reasonable, or is it all just hyperbole?

I can't create a project because I don't know what triggers it.

Neff Cupcake Beanie Vanilla for $15 + free shipping
Cupcake beanie
6 Comments add a comment
Cupcake beanie, 'neff said.
I read this first as Nerf Cupcake Beanie. I was very confused.
@gt0163c: So did I when I first glanced at it! I thought "a nerf beanie??", then I read it again.
For how much these things usually cost, if you're considering it you should probably get it now.
My only complaint is it feels a bit short - I like my hats to cover my ears.
And also people sometimes think it's ice cream :P
@theabnormal1: I like my hats to cover my ears,too.

Is it just me or is productivity low in the afternoon for general population? I find that I'm unable to do simplest of tasks between 1pm and 5 pm.
Trying to save some "rote" tasks for this time period can be a good strategy: you'd have to do them anyways at some point during the day, so might as well do them when you're not at your peak productivity.
What you have for lunch might be a factor as well; abstain from sugary drinks and high-carb food that might spike your blood sugar level and cause a "crash" in the afternoon.
You match my cycle - I am most productive with analytic work early in the morning and late in the evening, but mid afternoon that part of my brain is at a low ebb. For me this isn't about motivation or willpower, just that I have discovered over time what I am good at at different times of day.
I discovered that that does seem to be a good time for me to work on creative topics - so you may find it worthwhile to try different types of activity in this time period.
If all else fails, a good kickstarter can be to go to the gym - I often find myself revitalised after an hour's workout.
Everyone's willpower has a limit. After forcing yourself for enough time, you start to run out of willpower. (Muraven et al., 1999)
A solution is keep the high willpower tasks early in the day (Eat the frog first). Another 'solution' is to cut out all the things that would make you stressed out. Being in contact with people you don't like or strongly disagree with is the fastest way to sap your willpower.
I'd also recommend starting the day by doing something light that you don't want to do. Making the bed is an ancient technique, as well as 10-30 minutes of morning exercise.
[Source: Roy F. Baumeister, M. Muraven, D. M. Tice, "Longitudinal Improvement of Self-Regulation Through Practice: Building Self-Control Strength Through Repeated Exercise"]
I often feel the same in the afternoon. Are you sure it isn't diet related? If you tend to have coffee early in the day, you might be experiencing the drop off of your cup. We keep some tiny packages of fruit snacks in my office to keep everyone even and productive.
Sometimes I also feel the same way and it's hard for me to be productive. However, if you like on what you do or enjoy on what task you do it also help you be more productive even in the afternoon. Having a regular break like stretching or do some tasks that is unrelated to work could also help you to be productive. In my opinion discipline is the key to be more productive at work.

Ivy Buried by Blizzard, Yale Cancels Class for Two Days
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Yale University had a snow day Monday.
It was the first for students and faculty in 35 years—since the blizzard of 1978—and it came as this Connecticut city and many others across New England struggled to emerge from last weekend's historic storm.
On Monday, a headline on the front page of the Yale Daily News, the student newspaper, blared: "35 YEARS LATER, SNOW DAY." The event was dubbed a "Monday miracle."
On-campus igloos had hardly been completed, and snow-ball fights initiated, when Yale officials relented to the elements and the continuing cleanup Monday afternoon and also canceled classes for Tuesday.
Yale is in the heart of New Haven, where 34 inches of snow fell during the blizzard. City roads remained perilous—police checkpoints kept nonessential drivers out—while downtown businesses were closed and public buses weren't running. The dangerous conditions made it difficult for faculty and staff members to get to campus, where paths were either icy or swimming in slush.
"I would say we work extraordinarily hard to keep the university open," said Yale Vice President Linda Lorimer. "We have sensitive research going on, we have students to be educated. We are loath to close it but will do so if we think there is an issue of safety and security."
She added that New Haven had asked the university to remain closed Tuesday, as cleanup efforts continue.
Previous storms have crippled Yale, which dates to the 18th century, but a full-scale closure is rare. The students, professors and staff pride themselves on soldiering on through the elements, no matter how harsh.
In January 1978, a mammoth blizzard shut down the campus, along with much of the Northeast, Ms. Lorimer said. The state's operations were shut down, as Connecticut faced more than two feet of snow and blustery winds.
In 2003, as more than a foot of snow covered the ground, Yale students received an email saying class was canceled. They later learned it was a hoax.
A heavy snow in 2011 also failed to stop classes, prompting the Yale Daily News to call for a snow day "rather than asking students to risk broken ankles and professors to brave snow-covered roads…"
This week's cancellations seemed to catch many people at Yale off-guard.
"I was surprised they didn't cancel classes in 2011, and I was shocked to hear they canceled classes today," said Kyle Wittenauer, a junior, as he waited for a taxi at the New Haven train station. "Two years ago, snow was up to my waist. But we just trekked through it."
In front of Mr. Wittenauer in line, psychology professor Kristina Olson had hurried back from Seattle to give an exam. Even with the blizzard, a tradition prevails at Yale to "trudge through," Ms. Olson said.
On campus, some students took advantage of the cancellation of classes by studying, and others didn't.
Outside Branford College, one of the residential colleges at the university, a large snowman was crowned with a hat made from beer-bottle labels. Others threw snowballs across the Old Campus—where freshmen live—and erected igloos. Peter Repucci and Jing Cao built a snow cave.
One of the many igloos, dubbed a "Bigloo" by the students who designed and constructed it, stood almost 7 feet tall. Seventeen of the students had piled into it, drinking beer and telling stories, said Will Jordan, a senior and one of the builders.
"It was built around a tree and a bench, so you could sit inside on the bench or stand up," he said.
The snowy edifice was accompanied by a sign: "DO NOT CLIMB ON THE BIGLOO OR SOMEONE WILL DIE. DEFINITELY YOU. HOPEFULLY NO ONE ELSE."

Hello we have installed an ubuntu desktop edition on our dev server. I was wondering if there is any noticeable performance loss compared to the server edition.
As far as I know, there is no performance lost as far as overhead and whatnot. It mostly depends on what you have installed. You can turn desktop ubuntu into server ubuntu by installing the same security/monitoring/visualization programs. server edition just comes with a better set of pre-installed packages suited to a secure, easily maintained server.
Either way, I would recommend NOT installing X server and a desktop manager (Gnome, KDE, etc). This reduces boot time and memory/cpu usage.
Almost all of the difference between Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server is in the default set of packages installed.
The only real code difference is in the kernel package - the
These won't generally have a major performance impact.
Beyond the fact that an X server is running on the machine (and things like ubuntu-one-client once a user is logged in locally), there's really no difference nor performance impact.
There isn't a "server" version and a "desktop" version of Ubuntu where one magically limits the number of connections you can have to a machine (like some other "workstation" and "server" operating systems of years past).
The different install flavors are simply a different set of starting packages.
The significant performance factor in Ubuntu Desktop is the inclusion of Gnome. Ubuntu Desktop is fine for a server (although a more lightweight desktop environment may be desired), but if you do not need a graphical environment, Ubuntu Server would be preferable.
This is not strictly performance related, but Ubuntu Desktop also contains several packages which would simply not be useful in a server environment, such as OpenOffice and GIMP. These can always be removed however.
The Desktop & Server editions have different kernels that might result in different performance, especially under some specific load conditions. One example reason being that task switching happens more often in the desktop edition's kernel because that improves responsiveness, but task switching incurs some overhead and thus also slightly lowers the performance of (some) applications.
In practice, it's unlikely that you will ever see this difference on a development system, and IME such a system is not under a heavy load, and it probably has other configuration differences that affect performance anyway.
If you want to minimize differences related to the kernel, it's always possible to use the server kernel in the desktop edition.
And of course, in most cases permanently running a desktop system probably has as much or more impact on performance as using a different kernel anyway... ;-)

Thursday's letters: Distorted view
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
To the editor: The Jan. 30 Other Voices editorial Nation needs more focus on the family contained a serious error, leading to a very distorted view of whats happening. Of babies born to unwed mothers, a majority (about two-thirds) are born to unmarried couples living together.
In April 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a finding that of all babies born in 2010, 27 percent were born out of wedlock but to heterosexual unmarried couples cohabiting. That leaves only 13 percent born into possibly single-parent homes.
The trend to marrying after a child or two are already born is causing this statistic. When the child reaches school age, the parents marry. This delay, though it might be troubling, isnt the same as bringing 40 percent of children into a family supported by just one parent.
Ann BRells
The real issues
To the editor: Did Beyonce lip sync at the inauguration? Barbara Walters has chickenpox. Michelle Obama has recently changed her hairstyle. Lance Armstrong cheated. Is Hillary Clinton running for president in 2016?
Whats featured with this years Super Bowl ads? Proposed new gun control laws? Iran launches monkey into space. Who is dating who in Hollywood? Will the groundhog see his shadow? N.C. governor urged to live on $350 per week.
As a nation, lets become focused on real issues and turn our energy and thoughts toward productive matters.

Debt problem
To the editor: The president was right twice. In his charge to Congress, he was correct in the first half of his demand that they should pay their bills. But this should be through spending controls, not by adding to our already preposterous debt.
And he was prophetic in 2006 when he said, America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

Bizarre that a new campaign add is news.?
Emails leaked that show that the White House knew within hours on 9/11 that it was an Al Quaeda attack but chose to say it was a protest spun out of control for 2 weeks after it was clear it wasn't. That's not news but this is? Weird bunch at the Journal.Hide replies
Sure it's news. Good ad.
You righties just won't let up on this, will you? You call this an outrage, yet you fully supported a President who used baked intelligence to wage an unfunded war Hypocrisy at its finest.
You lefties are just plain blind. Obama has 3000 troops in iraq plus blackwater mercenaries, but you let him tell you the war is over. He tripled troops in Afghanistan and more have died under him then under bush. He went to war with Libya without congress approval, he uses a kill list and personally approves every drone strike, 3000 people in yemen 800 civilians and didn't declare war on them. He has created a war in somalia, and has flown drones illegally into pakistan setting a precedence that other countries can start flying drones across borders. He has killed multiple americans with drone strikes over seas. He signed the NDAA and when confronted that the being held without trial part was unconstitutional he sued to get it in place. He extended bushs patriot act. He has held multiple americans in prison without charge some for over a year now. Then he blamed his f(ck ups in middle east on a video and tried to remove a citizens right to free speech. Don't EVEN get me started on the economy. This president is every bit of a war monger as GW Bush, and he is far worse in finance.
@mad: Tell me how the President sent 3000 troops and blackwater into Iraq? When I check history books, this war was started before he was president.
obama was having US removed from IRAQ... We are still there, he says it all the time that he pulled us out. I have freinds there. Read NPR . org
/2011/12/27/144198497/no-u-s-troops-but-an-army-of-contractors-in-iraq or learn to use Google. The presidents exit strategy for Iraq was to remove US soilders, but he left 3000 of them and then put in contractors that WE still PAY for in instead of our military. There are videos all the time in iraq of blackwater contractors who are war criminals but still be hired by us to control Iraq. IN SHORT, The president lies we aren't out of IRAQ, we just changed troops.
Ask your "friends" in Iraq how many battles they have been in in the past year.
The US has over 50,000 troops in Germany. Does that mean we are still at war with the Germans?
Also brush up on your facts about Blackwater.
Just to be clear, I wasn't happy with Bushs choice to go into Iraq, however Obama has started wars as well, he just doesn't publicize it, he is a media guru. BUSH=OBAMA in WARS and is worse in SPENDING.
What happened In Libya without a single American tragedy can only be compared to Iraq by an idiot, od a Con which are the same thing.
Bs, most of it, Fox propaganda. He is fixing the nation and the mess the Cons left behind despite all the obstruction.
What's a rightie? I'm not talking about Bush and you have no idea what I supported. This President continues to lie about Libya and actually caused harm by further publicizing that video around the world. This is slam dunk - he knew/he lied and the emails prove it!
Clint will get the racists and gun owners good 'n fired up for Romney!Hide replies
What about all the illegal gun owners in our society that are criminal liberals?
It could also have the opposite effect and cause all the welfare cheats and race baiters to get out and vote.
So race baiters like you will be voting then, LGRepuglican?
Think that one up all by yourself or did you ask for help?
I'm sure you mean the black racists and the illegal gun owners and killers on the south side of Chicago.
Padraig - Obviously you're one of the 47%
Wow. Is there anywhere else I can see an ad campaign for President besides on the newspaper site.
No one cares what Eastwood says. We only care what the chair says to him.Hide replies
Using that argument, why should we care what Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, or George Clooney says?
I'm voting Obama, and I couldn't care less what Jay-Z, Springsteen or Clooney say about the election. Same goes for Eastwood. But an ad featuring the chair whisperer?????? Why? As Clooney rightly stated some years ago to the Gore team in explaining why he wouldn't make campaign stops, "I don't help you, I hurt you." If he's strayed from that wisdom in recent years, then he's a bit too arrogrant and out of touch. Clint Eastwood is just a nice old man who is a decent actor and a below average director. Jay-Z isn't even on my radar screen.
I'm voting Romney, because I love America. Obama wants other political structures in the US that we weren't founded on. That and he is a war criminal, next thing you know he'll give guns to Mexican drug lords. Oh, shoot he did that too.
people laughed at Eastwoods' skit but turns out after the 1st debate it proved to be brillant and spot on. Obama is a sockpuppet and an empty suit manipulated by reid and blosi and the far left.
Padraig - Clint is a "below average director"? Wow - you just lost all credibility with your posts. Obviously you're one of the 47%
Because they aren't senile old rich white guys who like to play with guns and pretend they are tough.

Unemployment is dropping, enough said.
Great ad, done by a great american who has much class, and character!! All attributes not held the the current president. Sadlt too many americna blinded by race and stupidty will vote for him, hopefully for america's sake they are a minority in the electoral college!!Hide replies
What a maroon.
Sadly, too many Americans, blinded by race and stupidity, will vote against Obama also. It's a two way street. Just as many will vote for Obama or Romney solely because of which party they represent.
Truthfully, we need to start holding our lawmakers to a higher standard.
If Clint was making ads for Obama, he'd be the greatest thing since sliced bread to the lefties.
Well, second greatest. The empty chair will always be first in their bleeding hearts.
Who cares? I am SO sick and tired of ALL the ads...from both sides...that I mute them all. The negativity and vitriol...on BOTH sides...is pitiful.Hide replies
Don't forget the manipulation and outright lies! The shamelessness of our lawmakers and the groups that support them is truly disgusting.

GENESEO, N.Y. - What does a "high quality of life" mean to Village of Geneseo residents?
That's a topic the Geneseo Healthy Campus Community Coalition has considered for many years and the organization asked SUNY Geneseo communications professor Mary Mohan to delve into the question with students from her class in Conflict, Negotiation, and Mediation.
The students will meet in small groups with members of the Geneseo community May 8 at 6:45 p.m. in the college's Milne Library Room 213 to reach an understanding of quality of life and how they can work together to achieve mutual goals. The gathering is free and open to all community members.
"Geneseo aspires to offer a high quality of life for all who live, work, attend college, shop, and visit our community," said Bob Bonfiglio, SUNY Geneseo's vice president for student and campus life. "We want to define what quality of life means to this community and what each of us can do to contribute to provide that quality. The results of this student/community effort will be a welcome starting point."
The Geneseo Healthy Campus Community Coalition has met regularly since 2003, striving to bring together all those who have a stake in the quality of life in the village, the stability of the village business community, and the well being of the College's students, to work side by side to build a better Geneseo.
More information on the forum is available on the event by contacting Mohan, Bonfiglio, or Rachel Pena from the Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse of Livingston County.

Handdrawn Contest X - 01-07-2012, 06:58 PM
♪ Rules ♪
We expect you will abide by these following rules if you decide to enter a hand-drawn contest. Failure to do so may result in an automatic disqualification and the entry[s] found violating along with any others you have entered will not be eligible for voting and you will not have any chance to place until the next contest.
1: No frankendolling! That means taking part[s] of a doll or more, and putting them on your own "doll", much like the movie and book Frankenstein. Please don't do this even with your own work.
2: No recoloring anything that was not made by you and entering it. This basically categorizes as "theft art." even if you have the original creator's okay, just don't do it.
3: No doll-makers are allowed to be used in your entry. Not in part or whole, this means you cannot "make" a doll in a doll-maker and place it up here for voting. It is not considered a "hand-drawn" by you and should not be found anywhere in the "Hand-drawn Dolls" area, much less this contest thread.
4: Unless you get an okay by a current contest running, we ask you make a new doll for each theme. Contests are to give ideas to dollers and allow them to compete with others to see who's idea was stronger and who brought it across in the best way. So please don't use old dolls, even if they have a similar theme used as the one currently running in the contest.
5: Please do NOT steal any bit of work, whether from a doll here or somewhere else. This goes along with no frankendolling. That means, if a contest holds a certain theme and you see a doll somewhere else that looks similar to what you would expect from the theme, please don't take that idea even if you tweak it a little. If you are inspired by it, that's agreeable. But please note that you were and don't base your entry heavily off of it. Remember, we want to be original.
6: Please include base credit and any other credit necessary for each entry.
7: You are allowed to enter a maximum of two dolls per contest, unless otherwise stated by the current contest holder.
8: Please make sure your entry has the current theme! If the theme is based off of flowers, please do not submit an underwater entry!
9: Please follow other rules the current contest holder may provide.
10: Be original and have fun!
11: If you host a contest and someone wins it, you can enter their contest although you may not place first in it.
12: No animation is allowed in the contsts, unless the contest is specifically entitled "Animated Dolls" or the contest host requests it. Any Any animated entries will be automatically disqualified.
We expect you to abide by these rules. If you cannot do so, please don't enter in the first place. We want this to be a fun thing and don't need any contestants to disobey the rules. It matters not who you are, whether you are the friend or sibling of an important person around here, we all have to follow these simple rules.
In the contests, the contest holder will set the theme and deadline. Those who wish to enter must create a "doll" with such theme before the deadline and post it in this thread. The contest holder will make awards and judge each doll based on effort, how well it portrays the theme, and quality. This means no judge will choose place just because it is their friend. They must decide these with each entry. If it looks sloppy and rushed compared to another entry, then it may loose points. Although, that sloppy entry may show what the contest holder had in mind for the contest better than the others. And the one with the most effort may not always have the best quality. Keeping these in mind, the judge must place what he or she thinks deserves. It has nothing to do with relations, and you cannot ask where to be placed or suggest. That decision is entirely up to the contest judge. Whoever places first gets to run the next contest, and the others get an award with their name and place on it.
Awards we recommend:
Closest to Theme
Best [hair, shading, etc...]
Most original
Thanks for entering!
You must use first and second, and most likely third. You can pick and choose which other places you want, or not use any of them. But it is an extremely good idea to have a thanks for entering award. Please remember that a user can earn more than one award, although cannot double in the mains. For example, Jane Doe cannot place first and second or first and third. As John Doe cannot place second and third, and so on.
♪ We look forward to seeing what you guys come up with! ♪
Once again, I will try to revive this contest. I will say this tho; if you commit yourself to entering, please enter a doll into the contest. No point posting here saying you will and then when the deadline is reached, not bothering. It's annoying. If you need a few days extra, then say so! Don't expect me to read your mind. Either post in the topic, or send me a PM. Tho I would prefer not to keep putting off the deadline so only ask for an extension if you are desperate.
The most elaborate doll does NOT always win. Sometimes, a less than perfect doll can carry off the prize simply cuz it fits the theme the best. Don't get discouraged and decide not to enter, just cuz someone else's doll seems better than yours.
The theme for this new contest is Disney Princesses. There are ten offical Disney Princesses; please choose from the list below.
Snow White (Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs)
Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)
Cinderella (Cinderella)
Jasmine (Aladdin)
Rapunzel (Tangled)
Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
Pocahontas (Pocahontas)
Mulan (Mulan)
Tiana (The Princess And The Frog)
Belle (Beauty And The Beast)
I will allow repeats; however, it will count in your favour if you plan to be original. Pictures of all the Princesses can be found by a simple Google search; you may doll your princess using whichever picture you choose, just make sure you include the reference picture along with your entry.
The end date is January 21st. Please try and turn in your entry as soon as possible tho.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a greasemonkey script or something for Firefox which will either filter, or indicate my notifications in Facebook such that I can either:
See only notifications for items on which I have actually commented (as opposed to those I have simply 'liked')
Highlight notifications for items on which I have actually commented so I can distinguish them from ones I have merely 'liked'
After a quick search in GM, I see ones to color code matching notifications for the same post, but I'd like to either filter out or dim out notifications for posts on which I haven't actually commented.
Other solutions besides GM are also welcome. :)

Now THERE's a major upgrade to that lousy defense!
Hmmm. Another TT free-agent signing. Who'da thunk?Hide replies
I figure there's a pretty good chance he'll be better than last year at his new position, and he played OK last year. So he'll be better than OK next season...which is at least good.
Better than OK is definitely an improvement anywhere in the Packers defense.
wrong eddie...he doesn't have the athleticism to play OLB. That was apparent. He was lost in space.
yep cooooooney ole boy TT sure is good at signing his own mediocre players.
Just to give you something more constructive to do, RAY, what is it you want them to do this off-season? And don't say fire everyone, we're talking players here...
First year at the position he performed pretty well. Most production from that position in a while.
Firing the GM and coaching staff immediately makes all the players better!
How's that for productive hunglikeamouse?
Need to manage that caps lock thing NC.
No, must be an NC disciple.
Ypu forgot to switch ids cheesemuncher
Wonder about the $$.Hide replies
$1.00 is $1.00 too much.
Teddy panicn time...couldn't let him go to Da Bears. Whoopdeefreakindoo...
Woo, hoo! SB here we come.Hide replies
Maybe the defense can be 30th best this year, LOL!
we were a bit better than 30th last year Favreaholic. I'm thinking we move up to 20th overall, and that would be a huge improvement from the crud last year. Our 3 former #1's have been very disappointing thus far. Raji, Perry, and Jones. PERRY and JONES have to really step up, we still can't win with what we have up the middle on the back 7. ILB atrocious and safety, well, NO int's from that group.
The clowns who are criticizing TT for this signing would be the same ones criticizing TT for NOT signing Neal had he gone to the Bears.Hide replies
I said let him go... sooooo...a mediocre DL who is playin outta position and is a bad OLB...yeah great signing.
Let's see what the dollar figure are for. It's probably not that bad. He was in his first year playing LB, had almost 50 tackles and 5 sack. What does it hurt to bring him back and see if he can expand on that?
And at least they didn't resign M.D. Jennings. That's got to be a positive, right?
Like this was a no brainer for TT nicknames? Who the heck else is TT going to sign for cheap? Neal is a JAG so I wouldn't have cared had he gone to the bears!
I find it interesting that a guy with the handle "nicknameass" is calling people who don't like this move clowns.
Maybe they'll have enough brains to play him as an elephant OLB and let him attack from a three-point stance...
So which is it, will he be playing OLB, DE, or both? Earlier this year at the scouting combine, JSO quoted McCarthy as saying he prefers Neal at DE. Now they are saying he will compete with Perry at OLB. So which is it?Hide replies
Don't you get it Dummy? They don't know! Has Capers been fired yet?
Re-signing Neal is like applying bubble gum to the Titanic. I imagine Ted smugly smiling about how smart he is keeping his trash in house. I'll just pencil Neal's first injury for July 31st, his second on August 14, third on September 1st, etc. The guy is the poster boy for Ted Thompson softHide replies
better believe it favrea
Except he made it through this year without injury.
I dont get the beef with this resigning. He was more productive than most of our outside rushers. No one is complaining about CMIII's contract and the little production he had last year. Neal worked hard to learn the position. Nice resign. We just need a few more veterans at the ILB, NT and FS position.
Neal had 5 TIMES the sacks of the entire starting defensive line combined (Raji 0, Pickett 0, Jolly 1). At least in Neal they were getting some production.
This made me laugh!! Bubble gum on the Titanic...LOLOLOLOL! So true! Lets not forget that the O-line isn't the best too. 3rd center in three years in 2014 for AR? The bears will seriously compete with us in 2014 because the last two years they have been active in Free Agency in bettering the team.
The Thompson plan is becoming clear and its predictable and a recipe for failure for next year. Sign as many of our own free agents as possible and add as many more young players (cheap) as possible through the draft to make us even younger. Its a recipe for failure-- at least for next season. Tremon Williams and Rodgers both went on the record saying the Pack needs more playmakers and players of experience. Signing marginal free agents from other teams wont accomplish that either. Fans give $40 million bucks in recent stock purchases to help build the new end of Lambeau and we cant even sign a couple decent free agents. Its ridiculous and awfully cheap.Hide replies
Good point eagle. Furthermore if TT insists on this approach then it is imperative that they bring in a new DC and new defensive approach. The record is now clear...Caper's approach and youth don't mix.
Mike Neal is not youth.
We're talking big picture here aaron....go have a seat at the kids table.
Ray, what is wrong with you? Seriously...
Are you a fan of the Packers or not?
Not! Big Ray is nothing more than an antagonist.
I know, right? This is such a radical, new approach. I am shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED at this new approach to free agency. Who could have seen this coming?
Tramons comments spoke loudly to me at seasons end, when he said that the packers need VETERAN players that can handle Doms complex system. Mike Neal, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, is a jag(just another guy) that is better suited for a 4-3 D. Raji in all honesty, better suited for a 4-3 too. Raji was a monster at Boston College because he was allowed to play like warren sapp and shot the gaps instead of contain gap control so that the LBs can make plays. It's frustrating because 2014 will be like the last three years. Good O play, win 10-12 games but when it comes time to man up in the post season, forget about it because the D is a mess! Thanks Ted!
(Linebacker) when healthy can make a play....NEED TWO ILBs with range and brawn....where are you Desmond...has anyone replaced Nick? Buy some phony stock and keep your heckling to a minimum at the annual shareholders meeting with the brass hiding out on the 50 yard line...
Very glad Neal will be back. He played well last year. This kid is a beast, and still has a ton of upside. If he can stay reasonably healthy like last year, he will do well. Very glad he is not on the Bears. I was just curious and I looked up stats for DeMarcus Ware and Mike Neal for last year.
Ware 40 comb : 12 asst: 6.0 sack : 1 int
Neal 47 comb : 8 asst : 5.0 sack : 1 intHide replies
Agree. I think Neal has room to grow, no way Ware can live up to 10mil/yr. I would have liked to see Woodley if he was healthy. Brought that toughness the pack need on the front 7.
Hang tight . . .We aren't really comparing Mike Neal to Demarcus Ware, are we? Let's not get carried away.
How else would you compare except stats????
It's an interesting comparison, but don't forget that Ware was injured for much of the year.
Guess total plays for each would be important.
This getting better word is getting over used.I can see the same defense next year.Thanks Ted first for not canning Dom but waiting till the draft to improve and throw in a few street FA's.

I will be working with LiDAR data soon and I am wondering what the alternatives to using Esri software to do this are, including open source solutions?
locked by PolyGeo♦ Apr 1 at 20:05
This question's answers are a collaborative effort: if you see something that can be improved, just edit the answer to improve it! No additional answers can be added here
Commercial: FME Desktop
" ability to take a point cloud that has no color information on it, and overlay it into an orthophoto to produce a colorized point cloud"
LP360 Add-on to ArcGIS http://www.qcoherent.com/products/index.html LP360 for ArcGIS™ (Basic, Standard and Advanced)
Open Source
LasTools - now has GUI
" a collection of highly-efficient, scriptable tools with multi-core batching that process LAS, compressed LAZ, Terrasolid BIN, ESRI Shapefiles, and ASCII."
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/ (Includes ArcToolBox option)
Python Lidar Tools
"FullAnalyze is a software for handling, visualizing and processing lidar data (3D point clouds and waveforms)" http://code.google.com/p/fullanalyze/
FUSION/LDV is a powerful and solid open source option developed by the USDA Forest Service to analyze and visualize LiDAR data. General information about FUSION can be found here:
Overview of FUSION features:
ArcGIS 10.1 has additional functionality over ArcGIS 10.0 to handle LAS datasets and visualize point clouds. Here is a link that talks about the integration of ArcGIS 10.1 and FUSION/LDV for Forestry purposes.
An excellent screenshot from the above link showing Arc's profile view of point cloud data:
Additional information on using lidar datasets in ArcGIS 10.1 available here.
I've used SAGA-GIS for identifying tree canopy and creating DSM's from Lidar data. I was very impressed.
SAGA seems to be an all around Vector/Rastor/Point Cloud processing tool. It is free and open source. It comes as 32-bit or 64-bit. It does have some scripting capabilities if you build the source code yourself with Python Bindings, but all the tools in the GUI are available as command line tools, so I just wrote my Python scripts using
My only complaint about it so far is that the documentation isn't very good and it is not necessarily the most intuitive environment.
It is definitely a very powerful platform.
Since this is being liked to by duplicate questions I'll add my own two cents with some more free and open-source tools. First, for command-line/batch processing:
And for visualization:
These products are both free and available for most modern operating systems. However, PDAL is under active development, so for the latest version you will want to build from source.
I develop an open-source GIS called Whitebox Geospatial Analysis Tools that can be used to perform a range of tasks geared towards processing LiDAR data. It works with the popular LAS file format as well as shapefiles. The software can be used to interpolate raster grids, including bare-Earth DEMs and vegetation canopy models. Many of the interpolators are specifically developed to handle LiDAR data. It can also be used to examine LAS metadata, convert LAS files into ASCII or shapefile formats, tile LiDAR data, and assess point density. There are many tools available in Whitebox for analyzing LiDAR interpolated DEM files as well. This includes everything from typical digital terrain analysis operations (slope, aspect, measures of relative landscape position, etc.), hydrological analysis (e.g. extract watersheds and map streams), removal of off-terrain objects, filling in missing data holes, etc. For more information, I have a blog that describes the use of Whitebox for processing LiDAR data here. I teach GIS and remote sensing courses and have used Whitebox in LiDAR labs before. Here is an example (though dated now) lab assignment that you may find useful as well. I'm fairly responsive to requests, so if there are some LiDAR related analysis functions that aren't currently in there, send me a request and I'll add it to my To-Do list. One current limitation is that Whitebox doesn't contain a 3D point cloud viewer. I'm working on this, but if point cloud visualization is your main interest, then at the moment, you'd be better looking at something like plas.io.
LAS files can now be natively displayed within Whitebox's map area:
This is an older question, however I think its good to get an update on what is current.
In a general sense, all the software mentioned here are still awesome for lidar (especially LAStools!).
For forest application, I found a new software that is pretty comprehensive called LiForest - it contains tools for generating terrain models, surface models, point cloud tree segmentation, regression and conversion tools.
LiForest: http://www.liforest.com/
At my company, we use Terrasolid solutions for LIDAR data. It works as a plugin for microstaton and is suitable for both TLS and airborne lidar.
Socet GXP is also a very powerful for Lidar processing, Visualization and also give you a whole slew of tools for imagery and geospatial data.
Software LiDAR
I believe that a good program to work with LiDAR data is LP360 software for ArcGIS. It is a set of tools for visualizing and editing (LP360) data obtained by laser scanning (LiDAR). I also recommend the application server providing you LIDAR point clouds.
You can try the software company LASERDATA LiS for SAGA. It is an application used to process, manage and store data LiDAR and raster models.
I recommend the site http://progea.pl/en/produkty/qcoherent/
You will find more information.
I work with Geo-Plus VisionLiDAR. I recommend this app to manage huge point clouds (I work with more than 5 billion points and it's really smooth ...
I know that Geo-Plus can offer different features depending on what you need, so it's better to contact them and see what they can give you if you have a special request.
I tried VisionLiDAR for free and enjoyed it. So, you can do the same.
Here is the link to the software page : [http://www.geo-plus.com/visionlidar_lidar_software/]
And the link to the free trial : [http://www.geo-plus.com/get-trial/]
That way, you can find more info and see if it fits your needs.
You could also consider GRASS GIS as it has some good modules for processing and handling LiDAR data.
R also has some packages to process LiDAR. If you have a small LiDAR dataset, the recently released rLiDAR package might be of interest. It has been specifically designed for forest inventory applications, and provides the functionality to read, process and visualise small LiDAR datasets. Additionally, the R package, MBA (Multilevel B-spline Approximation), provides options for interpolating LiDAR data, an example of which is provided in this presentation on Slides 46-48.
Since none of the posters have mentioned it yet, there is also software to help you put your point clouds on a website (check SceneMark). You can do animations, simple measurements and use 3D models in your presentations. Or you can also produce nice videos based on your scanning data.

This is the context:
D'autres régions sont propices aux loyers onéreux : les destinations de vacances. Et les Grisons remportent la palme, loin devant le Valais et le Jura. Les 2000 francs de loyer y sont fréquents en de nombreux endroits.
Literally, remporter la palme is to win a trophy.
It is also an idiom to designate a "winner" (quotation marks included). Very often it's used sarcastically, then it would of course mean "the worse".
In your sentence it is not completely clear whether having high-priced rents is considered good or bad, it depends on the context. However it is clear that Les Grisons have the highest rates.
In that sentence "remporter la palme" is used to emphasize the fact that the rent rates are high in "Les Grisons". It was probably in an article talking about the places where the rent rates are high.

6 Terrifying User Agreements You've Probably Accepted
How many user agreements have you clicked through in your life without reading them? We're going to guess it's one for every single piece of software you've ever used, and every gadget, and Lord knows what else. You've probably signed off on thousands of pages of dense, unread legal jargon in your life. Well, guess what, you've all but signed away your soul.
We're not saying that the below companies intend to screw you over. All we're saying is that their legal teams have gone to great lengths to reserve the right to ... and to make sure you can't do a damned thing about it.
For example ...
#6. If They Host Your Photo, They Also Own It
So you just had a great weekend with your friends, and you decide to upload the pictures to your Flickr, Twitpic, Instagram and other sites that allow instantaneous uploading and incessant Internet exhibitionism. Who wouldn't? That's what's so great about social networking. It's the perfect way to share your precious memories with only those friends and family members you deem close enou- holy shit, how did your face end up in a penis enlargement ad?
"I don't remember having tits, but thanks to Xanax that means next to nothing."
Because you didn't read the terms of service you agreed to when you joined those sites, that's how.
What You Agreed To:
At some point (most likely the second the idea of social networking popped into someone's head), it was noted that people's personal photos amounted to a virtually unlimited supply of content that could be exploited by advertisers. As a result, pretty much every social network has a clause written into their user agreements that allows them to use your pictures for commercial purposes.
"We know this is shocking, ma'am, but you did click 'Agree'."
Specifically, the stipulations you agreed to state that you're granting these companies "worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce or distribute" your private photos. But they do make it a point to clarify that you still own anything you upload. Of course, that doesn't mean you're going to see a dime when they use that picture of you on the beach last summer in one of those "Obey this one rule for a flat stomach!" ads (and not in the good way, Flabby). But still, you totally own that picture. Meaning they won't sue you if you use it elsewhere. See? What are you worried about?
"We'll even let you have a half share in the mineral rights to your bones."
And after all, just deleting your photos off the respective sites should take care of the privacy and copyright issues, right? Well ... not exactly. There's also a section in those user agreements that states they can keep the rights to those removed images until a commercially reasonable time has passed.
But remember, you always have choices. You could decide to just not use these services. But then how will everyone know what the food you just ate looked like?
"Trust me, babe. No other living soul will see those pictures you sent me, unless they work at Facebook."
#5. You Don't Own What You Bought
If there is one thing everyone knows about buying games, music and movies online, it's that we're basically doing the entertainment industry a favor by paying for that shit at all. We could just as easily download whatever we want for free, with minimal fear of legal repercussions.
"Eat a dick, global copyright laws. I'm a literate human being with Internet access."
And, if there is one thing everyone knows about buying things in general, it's that once you pay, you own it. That's what "purchasing" means. It's not like some car that you fail to make payments on -- they can't come and repossess your purchases just because they changed their mind.
Well, not so fast. You should probably do a little more reading when that user agreement at your favorite online store pops up.
"Well, can't read this while eating." -- Everyone
What You Agreed To:
In a nutshell, a lot of these sites have a section in their terms that says they reserve the right to change, suspend or fully remove any product or content that they choose. And they don't mean remove it from their site so nobody else can buy it; they mean remove it from the device you downloaded the file to, never to be seen again. Like if one day Bruce Willis strolled into your house and grabbed all of your Die Hard DVDs and then smashed his way out through your window.
"Yippie-ki-yay, paying customer."
What many people don't realize about buying digital files online is that you aren't really buying the file; you're just buying a license to use it. Such as video games. The wording from the Steam download services says that paying full price for a game grants ...
"... a limited, terminable, non-exclusive license and right to use the Software for your personal use in accordance with this Agreement and the Subscription Terms. The Software is licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Software."
So you aren't buying Rage. You're buying a Rage license.
That wording is standard -- you find the same in competing download services like EA Origin. If you are playing a game that requires access to the service and they decide to ban you from using it, your ability to play that game is gone and they don't have to offer a refund (or as they put it, "No refund will be granted, no Entitlements will be credited to you or converted to cash or other forms of reimbursement, and you will have no further access to your Account or Entitlements associated with your Account or the particular EA Service").
OK, but these are games that have multiplayer elements or other features that require the online service to work. Maybe it's just that they can't ban you from the service without disabling your game, so the disabling of the game is just a side effect they can't avoid. But surely that's not the case with, say, e-books, right?
"You give up the rights to one testicle per 100,000 words."
Yep. In one recent case, a man had his entire Amazon Kindle library deleted. And for what crime, you ask? Simply because Amazon suspected that a third party may have unlawfully accessed his account. Unfortunately, that man had been a customer for eight years and had spent hundreds of dollars on Kindle books (that he also took the time to highlight and add notes to) that were now gone. Oh, and for good measure, they deleted his entire Amazon account as well, which in turn deleted his purchase history, wish list and shipping addresses. Not to mention any sassy reviews he might have posted for products he didn't like.
Kindle users were equally surprised when they found that Amazon had remotely zapped their copies of George Orwell's 1984 after Amazon decided that they had been sold by mistake. Remember when that sort of thing was the company's problem, and that all they could do was, you know, stop selling them? Not any more!
It's like something out of that one book, what's it called? Eat, Pray, Love!
Of course, don't take this warning to mean that we're endorsing the idea of you ever leaving the house to buy things again. We're just saying be careful who you share your stuff with.
#4. They Can Turn Your Device into an Expensive Brick
We've gotten spoiled by personal computers; they'll do pretty much any damned thing you tell them to do, that's the whole fun of having one. With a PC, fiddle with the code a bit and you can play a version of Skyrim where all of the characters are nude (Google it!). Computers are like cars -- you're free to customize and tweak to your heart's content. So when smartphones came along, the geekier ones among us wanted to do the same thing -- get creative and customize them in some way the manufacturer could never have imagined.
"What this needs is a dick."
With phones, the practice is often referred to as jailbreaking, and a ruling by the U.S. copyright regulators made doing it perfectly legal. But much like Rollerblading or wearing skinny jeans, the fact that it's legal doesn't make it a great idea.
What You Agreed To:
Most companies have paragraphs in their terms of service that say you promise not to mess with the software. If they find out you did, you have effectively given them the right to unleash hell.
"We've got another jailbroken iPhone. Send a team out to shatter his pelvis."
