Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

EBay seller Photo-arsenal-worldwide is flogging this mint-in-package NASA Hasselblad camera; bidding now stands at nearly $34,000. I love how everything in space looks like it was descended from a Tonka truck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

HDCP has been cracked.

thanks for that Handbrake rec upthread! question though. once i've ripped the DVD, how can i break a file into smaller parts so that they're uploadable to youtube?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Damned Facebook question: A friend has posted photos of a group of people that includes me. Now I find those photos showing up on MY Photos page. I didn't put them there, nor approve them being there, and I want them gone, but I can't ask my friend to remove her photos - how do I get other people's photos to NOT show up on my photo page?

It's pissing me off, frankly.

information libertarian

Zen, click on the photo and there should be an option to untag yourself, or remove the tags. They are only showing up on your page because someone has tagged you in them.

Oh, thank you! I would never have seen that.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

tiggy, you might be able to try HJSplit or MacHacha. I haven't ever split a file, but MacHacha was very slick to rejoin parts of a big video I downloaded recently.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

once i've ripped the DVD, how can i break a file into smaller parts so that they're uploadable to youtube?

If you're willing to spend $30, Quicktime Pro will do this easily.

For CPU geeks:

Visual 6502: a visual simulation of a vintage microprocessor, in Javascript

The Visual 6502 project uses Javascript (!) and hi-rez images of vintage processors (notably the MOS 6502) to recreate functional, visual models of these ancient beasts:

...

This model is very accurate and can run classic 6502 programs, including Atari games. By rendering our polygons with colors corresponding to their 'high' or 'low' logic state, we can show, visually, exactly how the chip operates: how it reads data and instructions from memory, how its registers and internal busses operate, and how toggling a single input pin (the 'clock') on and off drives the entire chip to step through a program and get things done.

Kinda' pretty to watch.
