DuhNow try to get corporate suits and stockholders who know nothing about gaming to understand this concept, that when you make it more difficult for your paying customers, they are often forced to pirate just to get a working version of the product they purchased.

Same here, except for the pirated part (well, ok, I did use software to strip the DRM off when I made an iso copy of the disk.) I've noticed that running the iso in VirtualBox, SafeDisk doesn't seem to complain any more about it.
I've been spending quite a bit of money re-buying games off of GOG just because I want to play the game, and because the company who originally sold me the game years ago decided that the game should only play on Windows95. For $5.95/$9.95, it is worth the added investment to re-buy the game once and have it work on any platform I want without the DRM. Just wish GOG had a bigger selection of old games though...I was buying stuff through Steam for the same reason, but Steam has their own issues with DRM (though, I've found their DRM to be far more palatable especially since I can still play in "off-line" mode without problems.)

Re: Duh"they are often forced to pirate just to get a working version of the product they purchased"
No, wrong. Check for DRM before you purchase. Do not purchase at all unless there is either no DRM, or any DRM which is present has been comprehensively broken for years. The presence of DRM should act as a large red flag, which encourages you to look for alternatives. There are almost always good alternatives which do not contain DRM. However, the alternatives are often more difficult to find. Seek and ye shall find.
Resorting to pirated versions is dangerous. It opens you up to possible prosecution, you can do without that kind of threat in your life. Also, pirated versions can contain their own nasty surprises in the form of malware. Save yourself the anguish.

Re: Re: DuhOh, yes, those giant yellow DRM stickers that they put on the packaging or product description should always guide your purchasing, yes indeedy!
Please. Don't forget that you or I might know to even think of such a thing as DRM. But too many people don't even know what DRM even means, let alone that it can at the very least fubar your gaming experience and at worst might fubar your computer function.

Re:Indded. Pretty sure industry will be most moved by this part of the study:
The research also revealed that copyright owners don't necessarily benefit from a lower amount of piracy. "Decreased piracy doesn't guarantee increased profits," Purohit said. "In fact, our analysis demonstrates that under some conditions, one can observe lower levels of piracy and lower profits."

A simple case studyIf anyone actually cares, just look at the situation with The Witcher (for PC) and its sequel. They have had great gamer response to their removal of the DRM, and it was actually a selling point for one of the online retailers during their launch of the sequel.
On an unrelated note, the "Hover to see video" is very annoying to me because I often move my mouse out of the text box to type. It popped up on me twice while writing the above comment.

DRM Sends A Very Simple MessageIt's the equivalent of walking up to a counter and having the proprietor slap you across the face screaming "You're a thief and I'm going to stop you!"
After that, why bother buying anything from him?
Anonymous Coward, 12 Oct 2011 @ 2:54pm

Re: Re: DRM Sends A Very Simple MessageThis is like when I worked a job in retail long ago, there was a person who was a known thief. I walked around following her on every aisle "helping" her.
She finally said, if you're going to treat me like a thief (she was) then I'll just leave.
Ironically, I accidentally followed another customer (some random housewife) the same way one time and got the same response. You're right, DRM is just like that.

Re: Also in the article...An interesting and very valid point. If no one is downloading your game, movie, album, etc... then it means one of two things:
1. People simply don't know about it
2. It sucks
The first reason is normally the problem though because people will turn to file sharing if something isn't worth spending the money on because of its lack of quality. I think it becomes a morbid curiosity sometimes to see something that is actually that bad.
AdamBv1 (profile), 12 Oct 2011 @ 3:55pm
Re: Also in the article...Look at it this way though, they didn't have to pay to either develop or license any DRM so it should still be more money in their pockets.
Jeremy, 12 Oct 2011 @ 2:59pm
yup...DRM is why i refuse to buy Ubisoft games, i used to buy them religiously. now i refuse to buy it and would rather pirate it so i can play whenever and how ever i want. Internet is out and cant play Battlefield, no problem lets play splinter cell or assassins creed (since its hacked)
YepProfessional musicians have known this for years. Ask anyone who ever bought the Waves VST plug-ins in the early 2000's. The iLock DRM in the software would often cause a Blue Screen of Death.
For pro studios, this phrase became SOP: "Buy the software, use the crack." You had to buy the software to stay on the right side of the law, but you had to use the cracked version because it was the only way the software would run reliably.
Amateurs, obviously, didn't have the "buy the software" requirement. I'm surprised Waves is still in business, frankly.

Re: NO, MIKE: "analytical modeling" NOT "empirical evidence"!You realize that analytical modeling is the same method that RIAA, MPAA and the BSA go about tallying losses due to piracy correct? Also where does it say empirical evidence? Did the article change? Analytical modeling is also how they push the boundaries of science. You can disagree with the assumptions made but that doesn't make the headline a lie and the missed part actually refutes your point of view. It says lowered piracy decreases sales.
Allomancer (profile), 12 Oct 2011 @ 9:59pm
Re: Re: NO, MIKE: "analytical modeling" NOT "empirical evidence"!This is from Mike's paragraph: "A new academic study has backed us up with empirical evidence that DRM hurts sales, and removing DRM actually tends to decrease infringement, because the product is more valuable to buy." So, yes, he does say it's empirical evidence, which it's not, but that doesn't mean it's worthless, just that more research is needed.
Allomancer (profile), 12 Oct 2011 @ 3:15pm
Might have jumped the gun a bitI appreciate you bringing this study to our attention, but unfortunately, there's actually no "empirical evidence" of any kind in this study. Ars Technica did a much more in depth analysis of the study the other day, and it explains that this is actually just a model the researchers are using to predict likely behavior in the market. They didn't actually gather any data.
(link: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/10/a-game-we-all-win-dumping-drm-can-increase-sales-whi le-reducing-piracy.ars)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the study, we just need to realize the limitations on what conclusions we can draw from it. Models are important, but they're only really useful to the extent that they help us explain the real world (ie, data). I hope someone does take this model and compares it to actual data, that will be the next step.

Re: Re: Re: Dear Pirate MikeI love failed quotes.
Jeffrey Nonken (profile), 12 Oct 2011 @ 3:27pmIn my view it's not even a matter of whether it reduces infringement, though that's a good thing too. While (if I were a software manufacturer) it might infuriate me when people used unauthorized free copies, I think at the end of the day it what would be important to me is how many copies I've sold.
I mean, really, keeping people from infringement is simple: don't put the thing out on the market. Don't produce the goods and nobody will make unauthorized copies.
If that's your only criterion for success then, by all means, apply the ultimate DRM. Stop trying to produce products and LEAVE US ALONE. I promise nobody will "steal" what you don't create.
But you won't generate any income, either. And I thought that was the purpose of selling things?
If you're interested in profits, then it seems to me that if you remove DRM and your profits go up then it doesn't matter if infringement goes up too. It's tempting to see all that free profit out there and try to grab it, too, but it's not real. The economy only allows for so much on its budget and once you reach that any attempts to exceed it just cost more than they're worth. Forcing the issue just pisses people off. Push them and they'll push back.
Think of it another way: if you make your software easier to use it will steal sales from somebody else who makes his harder to use. Because given two otherwise approximately equal choices most people will choose the one that gives more reward for their energy. Fighting DRM does not qualify as rewarding.
And, oh yeah, infringement goes down too? Bonus!
Richard (profile), 12 Oct 2011 @ 3:34pm
DRM purposeThe purpose of DRM is to create monopolistic lockins for the purveyors of DRM s/w or h/w.
The content guys are just the suckers in all this.
Anonymous Coward, 12 Oct 2011 @ 5:29pmI refuse to buy anything with DRM.
I've had plenty of first hand experience with DRM completely fucking up a computer. I will detail just one of those experiences below.
My sister loves The Sims. She bought the Sims2, and about 10 expansions. The Sims expansions contain Securom DRM. Securom installed itself in the space between the OS layer and the hardware(?) layer. Her computer had two disc drives. Both of which instantly became fubar'd. Neither of the disc drives would recognize or read ANY disc. Any disc what so, ever... that didn't contain Securom DRM. Both disc drives how ever, were capable of recognizing and reading any and every disc containing Securom disc check code. Well, that's convenient... or not.
Removing the CD burning and leaving the regular disc drive in, didn't fix it. Plugging one of my spare disc drives in, resulted in that drive becoming fubar'd too. So we tried a complete computer wipe, format, new OS. No dice, all 3 disc drives were essentially bricked. We had to purchase a new disc drive, and tell my sister "Sorry, but if you want a computer with a functioning disc drive, then you're not going to be playing the sims anymore."
They eventually got a new computer, and they turned the old computer into a dedicated "sims only" box.
I don't care if some DRM is less intrusive or less destructive than others. After all of the different messes I have been through with different DRMs, I refuse to accept any product containing DRM. I refuse to reward people (assholes) who treat paying costumers like thieves (shit).
Anonymous Coward, 12 Oct 2011 @ 11:37pm
Re:That's the situation that initiated my boycott of all things EA. I watched that Securom mess unfold in real time. EA shat all over an insanely devoted fanbase and NEVER made it right. Ever.
Had they done the sane thing and patched Securom out of those games (and Mass Effect for PC, and Spore, and every other game they used it on starting April 2007), they would've been forgiven. But they didn't, and all they did was turn loyal customers into boycotters or pirates.
Or lawsuit filers, there were six launched against EA for Securom usage in several different games including TS2.
Anonymous Coward, 12 Oct 2011 @ 7:09pmThe fact is, sometimes when I buy the game, I still have to download infringing copies because they don't allow me to install on a machine that has debugging related softwares (like Process Explorer which is very powerful and useful).
I'm a programmer that needs these tools to work, and because of the size of my room I can't afford to have a PC sole for the purpose of gaming. To play these game I have to find a source that have these DRM removed.
Just another reason why these "file sharing must be because people want things free" comments are lame.
Rekrul, 12 Oct 2011 @ 7:13pmI don't buy a lot of games, mostly older used games, or ones from closeout stores. However, when I do buy a game and install it, the first thing I look for after patching it to the latest version, is a NoCD patch so that I don't have to dig out the disc every time I want to play it.
I also refuse to buy any game that uses/used Starforce protection.
CN, 12 Oct 2011 @ 10:30pm
DRM converted me to non-customerI used to buy probably no less than a dozen games a year. As DRM got worse, and I had more and more issues with it, my purchasing slowed.
I had stuff that wouldn't run, often complaining that I had something like Process Explorer on my computer. (Is that some kind of crime?) I remember "Knights of the Old Republic" (pretty sure the first one), which had been running fine, suddenly refuse to run, allegedly because of Daemon Tools. Thing is, I didn't have Daemon Tools, nor had I even heard of it until then.
I had store bought DVD movies not play because (I think it must have been Windows Media Player at the time, it would have been six or seven years ago) because it thought they weren't legit. I was on an offshore oil rig for 3 weeks with a collection of movies I couldn't watch. Of course now the warning at the start of movies says if I buy a movie and watch it on an oil rig I am a dirty rotten thief. (It doesn't say anything about how many people watching, just where.)
Also on the rig, our DVD-R recorders have stopped, saying that we were attempting to copy copyrighted material, even though the video source was coming from our submarine (ROV).
Anyway, back to games... I have had several recent games in my hands, wanting to buy them. I read about the DRM contained on them, and said "No thanks!" and put them back. I may have "voted with my wallet", but nobody really sees my vote. They just think "sales were poor; damned pirates! We need even stronger DRM!"
Even old school DRM requiring the CD/DVD is a pain, though less so than much of what is out there today. Since I haven't been buying anything lately, I play mostly older games. I wanted to play "Age of Empires II - Age of Kings - The Conquerors". It was already installed on my computer. I managed to locate 2 AoE2-AoK CDs (yes two, I lost one and bought a second one, then found the first), but could not locate my Conqueror's disc. I know it is still around somewhere. I had to go get a no-CD crack, which could contain malware.
Working offshore, I am without an internet connection I can use for gaming, so any single player games that require the internet for DRM purposes are out too.
I don't "pirate" games, but I still stopped being a customer because of DRM.

There's probably a lot of us! It would be nice if we were more visible. A sale is easily counted. How do they count lost sales? If they could count us, or counted us the same way they count "pirates" (with giant made up numbers pulled out of their ass), maybe they would realize how much DRM does hurt them!!!
People developing DRM are creating things to NOT WORK. That's why I may be infuriated when things fail to work, but I am not surprised by it. The focus should be on making things work; there are enough things that don't work by accident, without spending time and effort to make things fail on purpose!

Anonymous Coward, 13 Oct 2011 @ 8:21amActually, there are a few things here:
If part of the piracy was people getting backup copies, then yes, "piracy" would drop - but the number of people obtaining the content illegally would not change.
If part of the mystique of obtaining the product is getting past the DRM, then remove the DRM would make it less desirable, and thus reduce piracy. It would suggest that some who downloaded the file before were not even really consuming the product, just downloading the file and forgetting about the content.
If the DRM makes it hard to "share" friend to friend, perhaps more people are driven to get the file online via pirate sites. It still doesn't change the number of people obtaining the content illegally.
In simpler terms, there is no indication of a reduction in consumption of material obtained illegally, only that the narrow metric of "illegal downloads" changes.

Re:If part of the piracy was people getting backup copies, then yes, "piracy" would drop - but the number of people obtaining the content illegally would not change.
Fewer people would pirate and the same number would get it illegally? Well I am confused - how do you define piracy?

Well yes, if you make stuff up, you can come to any conclusion you want.

That's simpler terms? Um... less illegal downloading, but no reduction in consumption of material obtained illegally. So they're getting it by carrier pigeon now instead of by downloading? Again, confused about your point.
Sometimes that is true, but in this equation you're drawing up what is A and what is B?

DRMsThe really funny thing is so many companies not realizing that the stupid DRM makes the pirated copy more attractive. A good example of this is with Windows XP. I went out and bought a copy and used it. Trouble was I constantly would run into issues of having to re-register because of upgrades to the computer. I then got tired of it and used a pirated copy. The end result? The pirated copy installed easier, included updates and had several patches made by the software pirates. The Pirated copy was more stable then the store bought copy. This seems to be happening all over with programs these days. The software pirates actually make the program more stable and sometimes even add features. Makes it hard to justify paying for the official version.

No correction yet, eh, Mike? -- I'll do it for you, then.First off, just the title proves Mike blatantly wrong: "Removal of Restrictions Can Decrease Music Piracy, Study Suggests". -- A mere "study" and only "suggests".
2nd, "analytical modeling" is NOT "empirical evidence" as Mike wrote. -- Since Mike claims to have some college and should know the difference, it's just flat out lying to substitute those words.
3rd, '"Removal of these restrictions makes the product more convenient to use and intensifies competition with the traditional format (CDs), which has no DRM restrictions," Vernik said.' -- These dinosaurs are comparing their "analytical modeling" with CDs! No wonder it shows the results wanted!
4th, "In fact, our analysis demonstrates that under some conditions, one can observe lower levels of piracy and lower profits." -- SOME conditions. -- Left out is that SOME conditions must show higher piracy = lower profits, and lower piracy = higher profits. This is an "analytical modeling" not reality, so all that's done to impose "conditions" is changing some numbers in a computer: cherry-pick the results wanted, and voila! All "proved".
On the 12th, I demanded a correction in a CLEAR and inarguable point, knowing full well that Mike wouldn't. He's not only biased in his notions, but having to admit an error is more than his little ego can bear, especially when a frequent critic demands it. So, he had choice of ignoring plain facts and being wrong forever, or giving me a one-time minor victory. He chose wrong forever.
YOU ARE BLATANTLY LYING, MIKE! And I'm crowing again.

Strip DRM to prevent the need for copyright infringementA case in point: I purchased an official copy of Myst IV from Game a few years ago and it stopped installing after putting the second disc in. Thinking that the requirements were too high for my friend's laptop, I quit trying until I had my Windows 7 desktop. Same problem; stops installing after loading second disc into the disc drive. Now I've given up and have downloaded a pirated version. After all, I paid for a working copy of the game, and one working copy is what I possess.

Get paid doing what you love! Become a young entrepreneur and start the business you've always have pictured in your head.
In today's age, building a business has never been easier and the potential rewards are larger than ever. While most of your friends are scrapping by, you could be living the life of your dreams and profiting from your business. And thanks to the Internet, young entrepreneurs can build a global business that puts you on the same playing field as major corporations.
Before starting a business, there are several steps future young entrepreneurs can take that will facilitate your success. There are seven foundation steps that will help you to build a profitable business, fast.
Get your mind right. The first step to building a profitable business is for young entrepreneurs to develop their mental muscles and start thinking with positive end results in mind. Getting your mind right will allow you to keep focused and on course even when others try to contaminate you with negativity.
Set goals. Before starting your business, day dream about how you see this business growing and picture your day-to-day role within your company. Take your dreams from your mind and put them on paper. Put your dream on paper with a plan and you have created goals.
Once you have your goals written down, review them often. The more you read and believe your goals the faster you will get to where you want to go. Before going to sleep or when you wake up take a few moments to visualize yourself accomplishing your goals. It's true – what you think about you become.
Focus on the greater good. This is especially true for young entrepreneurs. By starting a business that creates a positive change in the world you will reap the rewards. When you start a business that helps people, you'll have positive forces working in your favor. So not only does doing the right thing help others, eventually it helps you, the Good Samaritan, as well.
Build your credit. Having excellent credit is a young entrepreneur's best friend. With good credit you will have access to low cost capital. When your starting out this isn't so important; however, as your business grows, you may need business loans to expand your business faster. That's when having good business credit will pay off.
Open up the Right Accounts. An important piece of a young entrepreneurs success is to have the right bank accounts set up. A checking and savings accounts should be set up as soon as possible. The sooner you establish a relationship with a bank, the more benefits you will receive in the future.
Be sure to choose a bank that has services you need now and will need in the future. Being a young entrepreneur, you want to find a bank that offers business loans, merchant services, business accounts and additional services you may need as your business starts to take off.
Build your team. With twenty to forty percent of your income going to pay taxes, the first members on your team should include a qualified tax advisor. Be sure to choose a tax advisor that has experience preparing business taxes.
Another member of your team, that you need before you invest money into a business, are mentors that have experience in the business you want to start. Having a mentor does not mean you need to hire a personal mentor coach. In today' age, a quick search online and you can find books, videos and webinars of people that have experience in the business you're looking to start.
Start a business you like. The last and most important piece of advice for young entrepreneurs is to choose a business that you enjoy. What is it that you're into? Figure out how you want to live, how you want to spend your days and with whom you want to work with – then find a business to start that fits your lifestyle goals.
DO IT! Now that you have the foundation in place, get going on your business idea.

Staples' DeBalsi, Fairfield Warde's Allen take home titles
MANCHESTER -- The first- and third-place runners at last week's FCIAC girls cross country championships each left Wickham Park on Saturday at the CIAC class championship meets with an individual title. Staples sophomore Hannah DeBalsi, the conference champion, won Class LL in a time of 17 minutes and 41 seconds over the five-kilometer (3.14 miles) course. Fairfield Warde senior Cate Allen, third at the FCIACs, defended her Class L title from a year ago by winning in 19:13.
Conference team winner Ridgefield was runner-up to Glastonbury in Class LL and qualified for the State Open Friday at Wickham Park as one of the top-two placing teams in each of the six class championship meets. The Tigers will be joined by the four schools that placed right behind them at the FCIACs -- Staples, Wilton, Warde and Darien -- in the State Open field. Also earning a berth as a team is Pomperaug, the runner-up in the SWC championships last week, which tied for second in Class L along with Mercy, both with 101 points. Mercy was awarded second on a tie-breaker -- fastest sixth-place finisher between the two -- but the third-place Panthers from Southbury were one of eight "wild card" teams to join the State Open field of 20 teams.
Wilton won Class L, the Warriors' 11th state championship overall and third in a row, while Staples, Warde and Darien gained entry as wild cards, according to a CIAC official. The top 12 finishers in each class advanced to the State Open, along with every girl whose time on Saturday was 20:57 or faster. Westhill senior Claire Howlett, who was second to DeBalsi in the conference meet in New Canaan on Oct. 17, was runner-up to DeBalsi in Class LL, finishing in 18:03 to qualify for the State Open.
"I'm getting comfortable on the course," said DeBalsi, who has set course records in most of her meets this season. "It's a pretty hard course, with the hills, especially the `Big Green Monster,' " she said about the notorious steep quarter-mile climb ending at the two-mile mark. "I wanted to win, but I didn't want to go all out to save something for the Open."
Howlett said: "I wanted to stay with her as long as I could. She ran hard the whole way. I couldn't stay with her."
Westhill coach Edward A. Lane said their goal for Howlett was to stay with DeBalsi for two miles.
"We figured if she did, she (Howlett) would have more speed (than DeBalsi) at the end," he said.
Staples coach Amanda Parrish, who was on the course, said DeBalsi broke away from Howlett in the second mile. Parrish said DeBalsi is focusing on the elite races (New England championships, national championship qualifying meet, nationals) at the end of the season, in November.
One of Allen's goals was to repeat in Class L.
"We expected her to win," said Warde coach Tim Foster. "She executed what I think was a perfect race strategy for this course -- to race the competition but run a controlled race," he said.
Allen said: "I didn't want to go out as fast as previously. I wanted hopefully to be able to kick at the end and to see how the race was going."


text: You've got to hand it to the folks Swedish ISP Bahnhof. They've got style. A few months back we wrote about their Pionen data center. Nestled in a former nuclear bunker just south of Stockholm, it has plants, cool glass conference rooms and waterfalls, inspired by science-fiction classics such as Silent Running. Now they've started construction on a futuristic modular data center, designed by a Bahnhof sister company called MDC Stockholm. The idea is to take tank-quality steel and build out special data-center containers that can be quickly added stacked and linked using an inflatable command module. The module is built by Lindstrand Technologies — the same company that built the parachute used by the ill-fated Beagle 2 Mars mission. "It's very expensive to build a data center, and you always always end up with a lot of empty space before you have any clients," says Jon Karlung, Bahnhof's CEO. With a modular data center, you can expand as you need more space rather than building out a massive complex and waiting to fill your capacity. He says that his designers again took a few pages from sci-fi classics such as Space 1999 and Star Trek. Above: A vision of the Bahnhof containers being flown around in the future. Image: MDC Stockholm.A fully completed Bahnhof modular data center will house 12 modules, including a power module and a cooling module. These are the same size as the standard 40-foot containers you see being hauled on ships, trains and trucks, but Karlung says that on the inside, they're configured to hold more servers. Bahnoff envisioned these modular data centers a few years back and, after some delays, is finally getting around to building the first one. Image: MDC Stockholm.A Jan. 9 photo of the Bahnhof data center under construction. Karlung hopes to start accepting his first clients in June.

Karlung is certain that Google got its Storm Trooper Easter egg idea from him. Image: MDC Stockholm.A look at the command module before inflation. Karlung wants to surround this data center outside of Stockholm with red scoria, a dark lava rock that scientists have told him is the closest thing to Martian dirt you can find on earth. Photo: Bahnof/Roger SchederinThe command module attached to a data center container before it's inflated. Photo: Bahnof/Roger SchederinThe 800-pound doors inside Bahnhof's modular data center use a pneumatic system to open and shut. That isn't just easier on the humans who have to use them; it also saves space. But most importantly, it allows the doors a satisfying pneumatic ssssswish sound when they are used. That's very Space: 1999. Photo: Bahnhof/Roger SchederinAn artist's conception of a city of modular data centers. Presumably this is after our robot overlords seize power and turn all available green space into modular data centers. Image: MDC Stockholm.Take a tour of the data center with this Bahnhof video.

Universal Studios released "A Tribute to Paul Walker" on YouTube Wednesday. The video showcases Walker's memorable scenes from "Fast and Furious" and has since received more than one million views.
Fans remembering the actor, who died in a Saturday car crash, left more than 9,000 comments on the tribute.
A note with the post states that Walker's family appreciates the outpouring of love and goodwill from his many fans and friends. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, they have asked that donations be made to Walker's Reach Out Worldwide charity.
Universal has shut down production on "Fast & Furious 7" indefinitely following the death of its star. A Wednesday statement said the film will shut down "for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise."

Following on from my post about Clarendon Park Road in 1960, I dug out another Ebay find – the Parish Magazine of St John the Baptist, Knighton (now Clarendon Park), Septuagesima to Lent 1963. It's rather nicely produced, printed in dark blue ink and with a charming enclosure: "Are YOU coming to the St John's Parish Social?" The magazine contains a list of clergy, churchwardens, services, Sunday School and group leaders, and a letter from the vicar, the Reverend Canon F D H Harris-Evans, in which he refers to a new oak screen which was then being erected in the church (later removed). There was also a new notice board being planned, which anyone involved with church affairs will imagine took as long and arduous a path to completion as the screen.
Although the magazine was published in 1963, it could easily have been written at any time in the fifty or so preceding years. There is an "appeal" for a live-in companion help to two maiden ladies, one of whom was the former headmistress of St John's Infant School. The Mothers' Union, the Church of England Men's Society and the Youth Fellowship were all active but a truly modern note was struck by the Young Wives with their talk on Avon cosmetics and 'Health Films' (the mind boggles).

The Hardest Three Words To Say
Guys, I've been wanting to say this for a while now, but...[deep breath]...well, it's just never felt like the right time, you know? And now here we are, just the two of us and the Internet, and I think...no, I KNOW...that we're finally ready to take that next step.
And also:
Of course, declarations of love are par for the course today. Not to mention stuff like this:
Still, when it comes to love, I think Cupid says it best:
Thanks to Jared, Norma W., Christine, Sarah M., Lizzie S., Franco P., Howard P., & Michael C., who actually have no idea what Cupid said because they can't stop staring at his diaper.

In woodworking as an example, tabletops are usually about 1.6 times longer than wide. Dining chairs often have backrests that are about 1.6 times taller than the seat height. The most appealing drawer proportions, and their placement, are also typically related by Phi. In turning, use of Phi helps guide height vs. diameter proportions.
These rules simplify Phi calculation and proportioning during design (and help identify the golden ratio in existing objects). They have a dual scale with normal graduations on the top edge and Phi-scale graduations on the bottom edge. Both faces are graduated; one face converts a known long measurement to an unknown short measurement, and the other face does the opposite. To scale a measurement, you simply find the identical measurement from the top scale on the lower scale.
The hardened stainless-steel rules have a matte finish, ground edges and black-filled etched markings. Excellent layout aids, they are available individually or as a set of four containing 6", 12", 18" and 24" rules.

Banning a student from wearing rosary is legally questionable
Administrators at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland may feel as if they're on firm ground in barring a student from wearing rosary beads but I'm not so sure.
While case law has given school administrators latitude in imposing dress codes to discourage gang activity, the courts have been firm on allowing students to wear rosary beads. That has been upheld not only as free speech, but free exercise of religion.
The issue emerged in recent weeks when the school confiscated two sets of rosary beads from junior Manuel Vigil. The boy's mother said Vigil was wearing the beads to help him deal with the murder of his uncle in California.
School administrators, however, said the necklace wasn't a normal rosary. The Reporter-Herald story said the rosary had 13 beads in a sequence when 10 is the norm. The number 13 is sometimes associated with the Sureños gang, Loveland Police Sgt. David Murphy said in the story.
"It wasn't consistent with what would normally be a rosary, and because of that we felt like it could be gang-related," principal Mark Johnson said, according to the Reporter-Herald. "There was no punishment; we just removed it."
I'm not sure the courts would come down on the school's side. Banning certain sports jerseys is one thing, but when the issue expands to take on free expression of religion students tend to have much stronger case law behind them. Read more…

Control systems incorporate many kinds of switches and accessories. Control switches serve various control purposes, such as bypass, transfer, multi-step and changeover. These switches come in various types, such as push-button, joystick, toggle switch, twin push-button and more. Load control switches, which include a relay switch and a communication module, can be used to remotely regulate appliances such as air conditioners and water heaters. Load switches also find use in smart grids, to implement demand response systems. Control switches and signaling systems are often installed with accessories such as LED modules and switching contacts. Power switches, such as motor protection switches, ensure rapid shut down of a device or machinery in the event of a short circuit or phase failure. Installation of power circuit breakers may require accessories such as assembly housings and insular casings. Cam switches find common use in industry and building control panels, especially for automation. They monitor and control the work of a wide range of machines, such as air conditioners and construction machinery, and also control various processes. The common accessories for cam switches include neutral leads, interlock extensions and shaft extensions. A limit switch prevents an object from moving beyond a predetermined point. These switches are often installed with accessories such as roller levers and roller cranks.

Detect emerging issues sooner. Find root causes faster. And shave months off your issue detection-to-correction time. With SAS, you can merge field performance data with key customer, product, manufacturing and geographic information for a comprehensive view of field quality. Then apply predictive analytics to identify issues quickly so you can address them proactively – before they escalate and cause irreparable damage to your brand reputation, not to mention your bottom line.
Uncover issues faster than ever.
Consolidate all relevant field quality data – including call center and work order notes – into a single, integrated view. Then apply predictive analytics to automatically detect emerging issues much faster than traditional analysis can – before they have a significant impact on performance. You could shave months off of your issue detection time, and that could mean substantial savings in repair costs and greater customer loyalty.
Focus on the highest-priority issues.
Define and prioritize issues quickly using an array of analytical tools – decision trees, control charts, Pareto charts, etc. – to effectively isolate failure modes and identify their true root causes so you can make well-informed corrective action decisions. Advanced forecasting and reliability techniques (including Weibull) help you understand how issues will affect costs and customers so you can prioritize them and focus resources where they will have the greatest impact.
Minimize your risk.
By uncovering issues earlier and isolating root causes faster, you will actually limit the amount of time issues exist in the field – as well as the number of customers affected. That means less overall risk of negative publicity through traditional and social media channels and the inevitable costly campaigns that would be required to help counteract any damage done to customer satisfaction levels and your brand reputation.
Lower your warranty costs.
Earlier issue detection and shorter correction cycles mean
significantly reduced resolution time – by up to 70 percent. You'll also end up shipping fewer faulty products and reducing the size and number of recalls. And that means you can reduce your warranty costs by up to 20 percent.
- Data integration.
- Warranty-specific predictive analytics.
- Integrated text analysis.
- Easy reporting capabilities.

The U.S. women's gymnastics team recaptured Olympic glory Tuesday after winning its first gold medal since the Magnificent Seven's reign at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
The five women in bright red, bedazzled leotards covered their mouths in disbelief as the results flashed on the scoreboard, revealing their massive lead over the top-notch Russians.
Team USA's Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney earned a combined score of 183.596 over second-place Russia, which earned 178.530. Romania came in third with 176.414 points and reigning Olympic champions, China, came in a disappointing fourth.
"This is the best team all-time," U.S. coach John Geddert said, according to the Associated Press. "Others might disagree. The '96 team might disagree. But this is the best team. Difficulty-wise, consistency wise, this is USA's finest."
Celebration erupted on the web as well. "We. Won," tweeted Shawn Johnson, the 2007 all-around Olympic world champion. "One of the most iconic moments im sure to forever live in history."
London's North Greenwich Arena was packed for the event, which the United States kicked off on vault. Maroney, a 16-year-old powerhouse from California, delivered a sky-high vault that set the tone for the evening and earned the team 16.22 points. Wieber and Douglas also contributed solid vaults that each won scores of 15.99 and were wildly celebrated on the USA sidelines.
"Starting out on vault was really good for us," Wieber told the AP. "Just kind of kickstarting the competition like that was really good for us, and we just carried everything through to the next three events."
The Russians, who lagged by almost two points at the end of the first rotation, narrowed the United States' lead to four tenths of a point after a spectacular performance on bars, their strong suit.
But after a shaky performance on beam, the Russians slipped back giving the U.S. a comfortable lead. After three rotations the U.S. had 138.230 points, Russia 136.931, Romania 131.414 and China 130.164.
By the final floor rotation, Wieber — who shockingly failed to qualify for the women's all-around final — couldn't conceal a giant smile throughout her routine, which earned the team 15 points and helped the Americans increase their lead over Russia.
Raisman's coach Mihai Brestyan jumped up and down on the sidelines as his student, the last American to compete, finished her floor routine. Tears welled in his eyes as Raisman exited the floor and ran toward him for an embrace. There was no doubt they had won.
The event will be broadcast on NBC at 8 p.m. ET.

"That's every kid's dream to play in a big-time game," Deer Valley senior guard Kendall Smith said. "A lot of fans are going to come out and we're going to feed off that and hopefully we get another victory."
The Wolverines' hopes looked bleak late in the third quarter. In a 14-second span, Marcus Lee, a 6-foot-10 McDonalds All-American bound for Kentucky, picked up two fouls to give him four for the game.
Fellow starter Nsimba Webster also picked up two in that same stretch and both sat with four fouls and De La Salle leading 36-30.
"We've been there before," Deer Valley coach LeChet Phillips said. "Our guys know how to fight for each other. Marcus gets in trouble, one of the other starters gets in trouble, the other guys on the bench are ready to go in."
The biggest moment off the bench came midway through the fourth quarter. With Lee still sitting and the Spartans' lead 42-41, Mario Goins' first shot attempt of the game was a 3-pointer that gave the Wolverines the lead with 3:51 left.
"He can shoot," Phillips said of Goins. "We've been telling him all year, 'When you get in, take your shots'."
Less than a minute later, with Lee back in now, Webster drained a long 3 from the top of the key to make it 47-42.
Deer Valley led 51-44 with 46.7 seconds left after Smith hit two free throws.
Brian Rosselli made two free throws for De La Salle and then Arizona-bound Elliott Pitts hit two of three free throws with 8.7 seconds left to make it 51-48.
The Wolverines turned the ball over right away to give the Spartans a chance, but Mike Inman's 3-pointer at the buzzer was off to send Deer Valley to its second straight NCS title game.
Pitts led De La Salle with 15 points. The UNLV-bound Smith led the Wolverines with 18 points and Lee finished with 14 points and 16 rebounds.
San Leandro 55, Freedom 53: Dejon Burdreaux hit a baseline jumper at the buzzer as the Pirates advanced to the championship game for the first time in school history with a thrilling victory over the visiting Falcons in the NCS Division I semifinals.
The Pirates (23-5) will take on No. 2 Deer Valley in Friday's finals at Saint Mary's College. San Leandro owns a 67-62 win over Deer Valley back on Dec. 18.
Burdreaux's jumper capped a 9-2 run by San Leandro in the final three minutes while taking advantage of three Freedom turnovers during the run.
Trailing 53-50 with 49 seconds left, Burdreaux hit a three-pointer to knot the score at 53-all with 35 seconds left. The Falcons (19-9) turned the ball over with 8.1 seconds, giving the Pirates the ball under their own basket. Burdreaux, who finished with a game-high 22 points, took the inbounds pass and quickly moved down court before pulling up from the right baseline for the game-winner.

Dublin 85, Mt. Eden 53: Second-seeded Dublin had far too much firepower in a NCS Division II semifinal win over visiting and No. 3 seed Mt. Eden (19-10).
The Gaels (24-5) advance to the championship game where they will face top-seeded Newark Memorial on Friday night at Washington at 7 p.m.
Dublin is 0-2 against the Cougars this year, suffering an 86-62 loss in the Gridley Invitational Basketball Tournament on Dec. 8 and a 70-57 nonleague loss on Dec. 22.
Dublin, which has scored 88 and 86 points in its first two NCS wins, was paced by point guard Cameron Moses, who scored 25 points. Teammate Jamir Andrews added 21 and hit a trio of 3-pointers. JoJo McGlaston scored 10 points. In all, nine players got into the scoring column.
The Gaels, who outscored Mt. Eden 23-9 in the second quarter, had a 40-28 lead at the half.
This came after Mt. Eden ended the first quarter with a 19-17 lead. Dublin blew the game open with a 31-point fourth quarter that included a stretch where it went on a 10-0 run to take a 68-44 lead with just over four minutes left.

St. Joseph Notre Dame 63, Head-Royce 56: Temidayo Yussuf scored a game-high 21 points as the host and top-seeded Pilots (21-11) survived what proved to be a nail-biter in this NCS Division V boys semifinal.
Justin Brown added 14 points for the hosts and Lamont Banks finished with 12.
Ryan Diew, whose team trailed 43-41 with 22.7 seconds left in the third quarter, appeared to have tied the score with a nifty layup. A player control foul, however, negated the basket, and the No. 4 Jayhawks (24-5) never got closer.

About zcat
Ahh, the good old days...
"awards" == Spam
They all want you to display the award with a link back to their website, it's basically SEO spam. My website is total crap and I still keep getting offered these awards (although nowdays google just filters them straight into my spam folder)
Does this mean Randall Munroe can sue the 9th Circuit appeals court?
How about if Laws were developed through the same open and collaborative process that's worked so well for developing Linux, Firefox and OpenOffice?
I don't see how that makes much difference. 1996 is still AFTER 1995.
I'm betting the police went next door, 'claimed' they had logs and the neighbour panicked and confessed. Do home routers even keep track of what MAC addresses connected to them? I'm pretty sure mine doesn't!
For years I avoided running an adblocker because I didn't think it was fair on the website owners and the adds typically didn't bother me that much.
But when it came to annoying floating ads that cover the page content and the sort you describe that cause the page to slide up and down I decided that was enough.
Some people are just anti-advertising. They never would have bought anything from you anyway so no loss. You could even say they're saving you some wasted bandwidth by blocking your ads.
But most people I think are like me; they're just fed up with annoying, flashing, distracting 'in your face' ads. The advertisers have only themselves to blame.
It's my opinion that these albums (they put one out for just about every natural disaster and cause) undermine humanitarian efforts and are a blatant attempt by the record industry to cash in and get some free publicity from various natural disasters. And I've though this for a very long time.
And finally here's the proof. Clearly the album is such a stinker that nobody really wants it, even for free on p2p networks. It's obvious that sales of this album are driven entirely by people wanting to help with Haiti relief.
So how much profit from the album actually goes to Haiti and how much gets swallowed up in the music industry's grossly inflated 'costs'?
That's apparently called the 'Temherte Slaqî'
And there's also the reverse question mark '⸮' for a rhetorical question (¿ is for asking questions in Spanish!)
And this guy...
Yes, I've been waiting for TAM's comment on it too...
Also WMG have been very active in getting all their music taken off youtube and similar services, which is really annoying a lot of the artists signed with WMG labels because Youtube is basically radio for the internet age.
Isn't that basically what they did when radio came along? And what the movie industry did when TV came along? And also what killed MTV? And also pretty similar to the current situation of news industry vs. google?
Completely facepalm.
But that's basically what they did. Freaked out and
Irrefutable link.
Piracy has a promotional effect; more generally piracy leads to greater legitimate sales. Many studies support this, even some paid for by the recording industry themselves (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090604/0117405122.shtml)
This obviously benefits the recording industry.
And you only need look at a typical recording contract (http://www.negativland.com/albini.html) to see that the recording industry ARE organised crime.
My understanding is that it is completely standard procedure in all software development, both FOSS and proprietary software. Software developers are always advised to _never_ look at patents.
I would agree with the schools having the same policy as the government, that all work paid for by taxpayer dollars is automatically in the public domain. This wouldn't stop the teachers from doing exactly what they're doing.
I partially agree with anti-mike on this though; I don't think that teachers should be making extra profit from their taxpayer-funded development of teaching materials. If they sell it at all it should only be under a permissive license such as CC-BY-SA or CC-0 which effectively means that they can really only expect to recover the cost of physically making and distributing copies.
But I don't think that taxpayer-funded schools should be charging each other (or anyone else) to share that material either.
It depends on a combination of how prominently the people feature in the photo, and how much of a public figure they already are, and how commercial the use if it is. Putting photos of some random person on your website, possibly a problem. Putting photo of some random person on a billboard, very likely a problem. Putting photos of a celeb on your website, not a problem. Putting same celeb on an advertising billboard, very likely a problem. Putting photos of a crowd or a sports team on your website, no problem. Putting the same photos in an advertising billboard, possibly a problem... (in each case asssuming you own copyright and do not get model releases)
In this case the subject is a celeb and I think therefore less protected because they're already not a 'private person', which is why they're doing the copyright thing instead.
Not correcting; agreeing.
It's my understanding that the Photographer gets the copyright unless it's specifically transferred / waived (thus copy-shops refusing to copy wedding photos, etc) but a model release is required before the photographer can do anything else with the photos. The photographer has 'copyright', the subject(s) has/have 'privacy rights' or something similar.

When to Clip Your Cockatiel's Nails
Trimming your cockatiel's toenails is an occasional duty that improves everyone's life. You should clip your bird's nails on an as-needed basis, but here's how you know for sure when it's time for a trim:
The youngest and oldest members of the family can't hold the bird without getting scratched or bruised. Their skin is the most sensitive, and holding a cockatiel may be painful for these members of the family unless his nails are clipped.
The nails are getting snagged in your sweaters or in the carpeting. They're just too long for the cockatiel's own safety.
An errant nail is getting long and threatens to grow up into the pad of your cockatiel's foot. Your cockatiel never kicks back and puts his feet up, so his feet need to be in excellent shape. If a long toenail or two threatens his comfort, then it's time to take care of those nails.
You can see that the nails are too long. When he perches, they wrap around each other. When he walks on a flat surface, they force his feet up off the surface instead of just touching it.
Your cockatiel has a foot injury or defect that prevents him from perching normally. Without wear and perching, his nails may grow too long.
