So I have this crafting dilemma
I like crafting, but I don't really have the ambition to sell stuff, I have no one to give it to, and I don't know what to do with the finished products. [more inside]
making crochet, tying knots in the clothesline
Can you help me put together a list of crochet blogs and instructional videos that explain in painstaking detail -- like, looped super-close-up slow-motion detail -- how to a) stitch something other than Ch, Sc, and Dc and b) make some simple crocheted gifts? [more inside]
Crochet telly
I've just finished Desperate Housewives, which was the perfect show for lunchtime crocheting. Looking for a replacement which has the same qualities I enjoyed in that show - and bonus points if it's something 80s or 90s that I was too young/British to see first time out! [more inside]
Idle hands are the devil's playground
Repetitive hobbies/crafts that use your hands that are NOT knitting/crocheting? [more inside]
I have bed bugs. Can I salvage my knitting supplies?
I'm pretty sure I have bed bugs. I've kept my considerable stash of knitting yarn next to my bed. Can I salvage it? [more inside]
A mile-long scarf?
Easy knitting or crochet project using 8 skeins of cotton 8 yarn? [more inside]
To Knit or Not to Knit?
Should I learn to knit? Or crochet? [more inside]
Wool ewe help me find some good places to buy yarn?
Knitters and crocheters of MeFi, which are the best Toronto-area yarn shops? I know about Romni Wools at Queen and Bathurst — what other stores should I check out? Alternatively, if you buy yarn online, where do you buy it (and are you really okay with not being able to feel up the yarn and ascertain the colour)?
How can I make these sandals, part deux
Followup to this question: where can I find a sturdy, inelastic fibre with which to make the uppers for a pair of flip flop sandals? [more inside]
Knitting Projects
No more scarves or hats! Looking for non-hippydippy crochet or knitting projects. [more inside]

As we get closer and closer to training camp, position battles are starting to heat up.
Some positional competitions to keep your eye on as the Bills head to St. John Fisher this summer will be at the linebacker spots; not only for starting gigs, but primary backup jobs as well.
With the installation of the new 3-4 defense, the look of Buffalo's linebacking corps has changed drastically, and how it will play out still remains to be seen.
Aaron Schobel (94), one of the Bills all-time most productive players, may never even see a snap in it while Aaron Maybin (58), coming off a disappointing rookie season to say the least, looks poised to breakout in a starting gig.
So how will the depth chart shake out when the dust settles? I'll give you a look at how I think everything will go down.

Brandon Weeden had a forgettable performance in the Cleveland Browns' Week 6 31-17 loss to the Detroit Lions, but it wasn't enough to cost him his starting job. On Monday, Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski stood behind Weeden and said he will still be with the first-team offense for at least one more week, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press, via Yahoo! Sports.
Chudzinski hasn't given much thought to inserting veteran backup Jason Campbell into the starting lineup just yet, per Jim Corbett of USA Today:
Chud not contemplating Jason Campbell "This is just 1 game. We have to really just work on those critical errors."— Jim Corbett (@ByJimCorbett) October 14, 2013
Weeden's final numbers weren't all that terrible (26-of-43, 292 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions), but it was this ill-advised, fourth-quarter pick that turned him into a laughingstock in the NFL Twitterverse:
Bill Simmons of ESPN offered up his blunt criticism of the play:
Brandon Weeden just threw the worst pass that's ever been passed.— Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) October 13, 2013
Will Brinson of CBS Sports also had a strong opinion of the interception:
Five years from now Brandon Weeden will tell his grandkids about the time he threw the worst pass in NFL history.— Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) October 13, 2013
Chudzinksi's one-week endorsement of Weeden does little to settle the Browns' quarterback situation, which has been evolving since Week 1. Weeden began the season under center for Cleveland but was eventually benched for former third-stringer Brian Hoyer.
Hoyer guided the Browns to two straight wins and seemed to be strengthening his hold on the starting job, before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. So the team went back to Weeden in Week 6 with subpar results.
It's clear that Weeden isn't the answer in Cleveland as the franchise quarterback despite being taken in the first round of the 2012 draft. In 19 NFL games, Weeden has completed just 57.2 percent of his passes with 18 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. That's not to mention Monday marked Weeden's 30th birthday.
But in this case, Chudzinski has his hands tied with two less-than-stellar options in Weeden and Campbell. For now, he's doing the right thing in showing faith in the organization's high draft pick.
But Weeden should be on a short leash, and with two rough road matchups upcoming (at the Green Bay Packers and at the Kansas City Chiefs), he'll have to be in top form to make his case.

Monographs: Pharmaceutical substances: Propyl hydroxybenzoate (Propylis hydroxybenzoas)
Relative molecular mass. 180.2
Chemical name. Propyl p-hydroxybenzoate; propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate; CAS Reg. No. 94-13-3.
Other name. Propylparaben.
Description. Colourless crystals or a white, crystalline powder; odourless or with a faintly aromatic odour.
Solubility. Very slightly soluble in water; slightly soluble in boiling water; freely soluble in ethanol (~750 g/l) TS and ether R.
Category. Antimicrobial preservative.
Storage. Propyl hydroxybenzoate should be kept in a well-closed container.
Additional information. Propyl hydroxybenzoate is normally used in combination with other hydroxybenzoates.
Propyl hydroxybenzoate contains not less than 99.0% and not more than the equivalent of 101.0% of C10H12O3, calculated with reference to the dried substance.
Identity tests
Melting range. 96-99 °C.
Sulfated ash. Not more than 1.0 mg/g.
Loss on drying. Dry at 80 °C under reduced pressure (not exceeding 0.6 kPa or 5 mm of mercury) for 2 hours; it loses not more than 5.0 mg/g.
Acidity. Dissolve 0.2 g in 5 mL of ethanol (~750 g/l) TS, add 5 mL of carbon-dioxide-free water R, and titrate with sodium hydroxide (0.1 mol/l) VS, using 0.1 mL of bromocresol green/ethanol TS as indicator; not more than 0.1 mL is required to obtain the midpoint of the indicator (green).
Assay. Place about 80 mg, accurately weighed, in a ground-glass-stoppered flask, add 25 mL of sodium hydroxide (~80 g/l) TS, and boil gently under a reflux condenser for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, add 25 mL of potassium bromate (0.0333 mol/l) VS, 5 mL of potassium bromide (125 g/l) TS, and 40 mL of glacial acetic acid R. Cool in ice-water and add 10 mL of hydrochloric acid (~420 g/l) TS. Stopper the flask immediately and allow to stand for 15 minutes. Add 30 mL of potassium iodide (80 g/l) TS, close the flask and mix. Titrate with sodium thiosulfate (0.1 mol/l) VS, using 2 mL of starch TS as indicator, added towards the end of the titration. Repeat the procedure without the Propyl hydroxybenzoate being examined and make any necessary corrections.
One volume of sodium thiosulfate (0.1 mol/l) VS corresponds to two volumes of potassium bromate (0.0333 mol/l) VS. Each mL of potassium bromate (0.0333 mol/l) VS is equivalent to 6.007 mg of C10H12O3.

Two years into the brewery's existence, this seems to be in evidence among the brewpub's 11 solid taps. The brewery doubled production to around 500 barrels in its second year, and expects to do so again next year. And this month, a vanilla bourbon cream ale, made in collaboration between Sasquatch brewer Charlie Van Meter and Maletis Beverage rep George Dimeo, mopped up at Willamette Week's Pro/Am Beer Festival, winning both the judges' and people's prizes.
"We'd made it before," says Van Meter, "and we tried making other brews but just kept coming back around to it." To make it, Van Meter and Dimeo started with a cream ale and added special roast and honey malt before aging it with Evan Williams-soaked oak chips for a week and a half. Unlike a lot of bourbon beers, the vanilla cream doesn't hit you with alcoholic heat that ascends straight into your sinuses—it's smooth, rich and quaffable.
The brewpub is busy enough that there's a line out the door on weekends, often with families making use of the rack of kids' toys. "We take reservations," says manager Alex Beard. "We're not like an eastside place. We want people to be comfortable."
Still, its location does make Sasquatch an outlier. Despite being home to the original McMenamins brewery, Portland's Southwest hill country is a beer desert. The Sasquatch tap list is maybe a bit thick with hoppy brews, but its sock-to-the-face espresso stout—brewed with Sellwood's Rose City coffee—is a welcome addition to any neighborhood.
The brewery will be bottling its Celilo Cascadian Dark and Oregon Session ales by early next year. The bar will give up a table on its dining-room floor to add four more tanks this year, which Sims says will free up room to make "goofy beers." Things have come a long way: They're actually buying these tanks new.
DRINK: Sasquatch Brewing, 6440 SW Capitol Highway, 402-1999, sasquatchbrewery.com.

Favre to Tampa deal appears close
The Tampa Tribune reported late Tuesday that a trade for Brett Favre between the Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was likely to be finalized sometime today after Favre told Tampa directly that he would not stand in the way of a deal.
A source close to Favre told the Journal Sentinel that although Favre's trade to Tampa Bay was not yet completed, the signs were definitely pointed in that direction.
The Journal Sentinel, through league sources, learned that Favre did give his blessing to a trade to Tampa Bay directly. However, a deal between the Packers and Buccaneers has not been finalized. The teams still have to agree on compensation, which could prove to be a sticking point today. The sources were also under the impression that the New York Jets were not out of the running for Favre's services.
Favre is said to be stressed out by the entire situation, including seeing about 100 fans and reporters camped out on his doorstep, and is ready for it to be over. His wife, Deanna, also gave her approval for a trade to Tampa Bay, according to multiple sources.
Before his trip to Green Bay, Favre was unwilling to talk to either the Buccaneers or Jets about their interest in trading for him, even though the Packers had given them their permission.
But since his lengthy meetings with both coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson, Favre has realized that his preferred methods of re-entry into the league from retirement - starting for the Packers or being given his outright release - have little chance of happening.
A four-person Packers contingent, including team President Mark Murphy and general manager Ted Thompson, went to Favre's house in the afternoon to sell Favre, his wife and agent James "Bus" Cook on the idea of a trade.
Although the Packers would prefer Favre play in the American Football Conference, the Buccaneers would be palatable to both sides.
The Buccaneers, Green Bay's NFC Central rivals from 1977-2001, were 9-7 last season and won the NFC South to advance to the playoffs, so they fit Favre's criteria of being a team that has a chance to go far into the playoffs.
Tampa Bay has some solid weapons on offense - running back Earnest Graham, wide receivers Joey Galloway, Ike Hilliard and Michael Clayton, and tight end Alex Smith - and the West Coast system employed by coach Jon Gruden should be adaptable to Favre's strengths. Favre is also familiar with Gruden, who was an offensive assistant in Green Bay from 1992-'94.
The Buccaneers have plenty of room beneath the salary cap to absorb Favre's $12 million salary and aren't afraid to deal, so the Packers should find them a willing trade partner.
The specter of Favre taking the field against the Packers in a Week 4 game between the teams at Tampa Bay might be difficult for Packers fans (if the Packers and Buccaneers finish in the same place in their respective divisions, another meeting in Tampa would happen in 2009). So might a possible post-season game. But Packers players said they could deal with it.
"It wouldn't be any different than playing any other quarterback," cornerback Charles Woodson said. "Our main focus is to go out and win a game. He's seen us as a defense, we've seen him as a quarterback and our focus down there would be to get after him. It wouldn't change in that regard. It would just be much different seeing him in another uniform."
A trade to Tampa could also work out for Packers because at least one of their quarterbacks would likely be cut to make room for Favre. Jeff Garcia, Luke McCown, Brian Griese and Chris Simms could all be of interest to the Packers.
The Jets have had interest in Favre for some time. They have had conversations with Cook but it is not known whether Favre has spoken to the Jets.

US President Obama led tributes to actor Robin Williams on Monday, after the 63-year-old was found dead at his home in the US state of California.
The President called the Hollywood star a "one of a kind".
His comments came after Susan Schneider, the actor's wife, called her husband one of the world's "most beloved artists and beautiful human beings".
Police suspect William's death was a suicide caused by asphyxiation. Marin County Sheriff's Office added that an investigation into William's death is currently underway.
The star, who appeared in hugely popular films including Mrs Doubtfire and Good Morning Vietnam, was last seen alive at his home, where he lived with Schneider, at around 10pm on Sunday.
Williams shot to fame in the late 1970s as an alien in the US TV comedy series Mork And Mindy, but he won his Oscar as the therapist in the drama Good Will Hunting.
"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit," Obama said in a statement, ITV News reported.

Skip to comments.Teacher Pension Underfunding Hits $22B
Posted on 06/08/2012 6:14:52 AM PDT by MichCapCon
The new actuary report on the school employee pension fund shows that the state has a $22.4 billion gap between what it has saved for school employees retirement and what workers and retirees have earned.
That is a $4.8 billion increase from last year. All told, the costs to catch up on this underfunded system represent nearly $6,000 per Michigan household.
This is not a one-year issue. Last years reports show that the school employee and state employee pension funds' unfunded liability grew by an additional $6.6 billion.
The gap in the school retirement system does not have to be paid all at once, but it does have to be paid down over time. The benefits are constitutionally protected promises to school employees, after all. The state assesses these costs to employers as a percentage of payroll of the members in the system. These payments to catch up on underfunding cost 12.49 percent of payroll and are expected to increase to 16.24 percent of payroll.
Add to these rates the payments to prefund pension benefits earned by members in the current year and the payments on retiree health insurance also assessed as a percentage of payroll and the costs are expected to exceed 30 percent.
This is an incredible expense, especially considering that private-sector benefits for full-time employment are around 5 percent to 7 percent of payroll.
The Michigan Senate voted to close the pension system to new members and instead offer them a defined-contribution retirement system whose costs would not exceed 7 percent, and would prohibit the state from developing unfunded pension liabilities for members in the system.
The House has pushed back and instead made the defined-contribution plan optional, citing $1.4 billion in transition costs if the plan was closed. These transition costs represent a completely optional cost, however.
But as the growing unfunded liabilities show, the potential for unexpected and substantial unfunded liabilities far exceed the phantom transition costs.
I can recommend one Scott Walker for consultation on this matter.
This suggests that Michigan is a great state to leave...soon.
I'm underfunded, too.
This is rhetorical but how does this happen? Is this a problem from underestimating the costs these services will actually be or simply making promises to give certain benefits without understanding (or caring) what the costs will be?
They over promise and also make unrealistic assumptions as to returns. Many of these pension funds assumed returns like 8%. Unsustainable in the long run.

Replay Value, Depth, Online.Originally Posted by Nfanboy
I don't care a crap about online. Online is fun, but to me a good 1-player game is awsome.
People obbsess over online games and I don't see why. Really, I'm not getting Brawl because of the online, I am getting it because I've seen videos of it, and it seems fun. Super Mario Galaxy just looks incredible. I can't wait for the game. Super Mario Galaxy will be really fun, and I can see myself playing it all day. My favorite game is Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and that's a 1-player game. Really the only reason people get Halo is because of all the violence and the online. I don't see why people think Violent games are fun. That's the reason GTA is so popular, it's all about violence. I like all the Mario games, and they don't have to be very violent to be good.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic.
I might get Metroid Prime 3, and I agree that it's not getting enough attention. Same with Super Mario Galaxy. All the hype is on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Why? because it has online. Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 need more attention

A co op mode could be cool andhas anbody notied Master Chief and the Halo Series look and feel like metroid but I would love to play Dark Samus owns
^Halo and Metroid could not be more different.
Mind explaining your reasoning?
Not to fit a mold,Not to join a trend,Not to follow a crowd
Ye I agree, when there is online there is so much more to a game. Once you beat the single player you still have hours of fun in the online play. Also I think the fact that it is a slow shooter as in not much action kinda disapoints me, since I did own an xbox before I am use to game like Halo. Well when it come out I will decide, I mite still buy it but I really wanna try the Metriod series before I do.
I can't even begin to fathom why people say they have played/beaten Metroid Prime 1 and 2, but don't really care about the new one. You people must be crazy in the brain. Those were two of the best action/adventure games EVER, not just for the GC. Of course you could get bored WATCHING someone play them, and of course if you aren't clever enough to solve the challenge that Metroid has ALWAYS brought to the player then you're gonna need a strategy guide.
Metroid has always been one of the MOST in-depth, challenging, mysterious, adventurous and rewarding game experiences in the world.
I say, stop crying phony tears about "no online", which has NEVER been what's great about the series, and stop nitpicking ridiculous things like "too much puzzles, not enough puzzles, too much/not enough action" and just find out for yourselves when it comes out.
You naysayers are gonna be crapping bricks when you realize what you're missing. MP 3 is gonna school EVERYTHING in the Wii library hands-down, except maybe Zelda: TP.
There's always gonna be apathetic cynicism on the net, but the Prime series deserves better than a bunch of "meh....." in my opinion.
It's gonna RULE! JUST ACCEPT IT!!! WAH-hahahahahahhhaha.......
Come join and help the world Evolve!

I think that its amazing that the same people who will complain " Nintendo dont love the hardcore gamer anymore" will be the ones who wont buy Metroid. It will be great. If its better than Echoes it will go into my top 5 of all time. It will certainly be better than anything on the Wii at the moment. (Although Im European so Ive never played Paper Mario.)
the first metroid was better than the second, the second became a little repetative cause you kept having to go into the dark counterpart of each land. so it got kinda annoying to me.
on the halo and metroid note, halos campaign is absolutley terrible, not even worth playing, and online is full of kids who take it to seriously. so halo is not even that great of a game no matter how you look at it.
and i for one. am very excited for MP3, and it definitly isnt getting any hype, because there really isnt much to talk about it. such as Brawl, is getting updates every weekday. idk and idc. MP3 is going to be an awesome game, and whoever doesnt get it is just missing out.

Rand was born in 1914 in Brooklyn, New York. He studied at the Pratt Institute (1929-32), Parsons School of Design (1932-33) and was taught by the graphic artist George Grosz at the Arts Student League (1933-34). Establishing his own studio in 1935, he was amongst the first to initiate what would become design consultancy. He emphasised the importance of the visual element in projecting an idea or identity, where previously text had been the predominant means of conveying these messages; and with this visual element, the crucial role of the graphic designer.
By 1937, aged only 23, he had achieved the position of art director of both Esquire and Apparel arts magazines.
His studies into the European avant-garde art movements (among them Cubism, De Stijl, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus) significantly influenced these early years and his adaptation of their principles, combined with the inspiration he derived from American culture, developed into a highly individual graphic style. Montage, collage, painting, photography and typography all found a place in his designs, which emphasised visual, rather than textual, solutions to problem solving. His sharp creative ability and skilful reading of how design should communicate through its content led him to become widely influential whilst still in his twenties.
From 1941 to 1954 Rand worked for the William H. Weintraub advertising agency, where he applied his formidable design approach to advertisements. Collaborating with the copywriter Bill Bernbach he developed the integration of design and copy into a model of the "creative team" approach - bringing together a group of people to exchange ideas - and thus anticipated a move that would change the face of advertising in the post-war years.
During the 1950s, when graphic design truly evolved, with an explosion in the worlds of television, publishing and corporate identity, Rand was one of the designers who became a seminal figure. From 1955 he freelanced, becoming a graphic consultant to leading US companies, and his work had a huge influence on the development of company corporate identity and its application. IBM, Cummins Engine Company, Westinghouse, United Parcel Service, ABC Television: all benefited from his crisp, clear, concise logotypes.
His other important contribution to design was in education - he was appointed Professor of Graphic Design at Yale in 1956 and continued to lecture there for the following 36 years. His book Thoughts on Design (1946), illustrated with examples of his work, is regarded as a classic text on graphics, influential on successive generations of designers.
This legacy can be seen in the work of many of today's eminent designers. Alan Fletcher (one of the founding members of Pentagram, the design group) considers Paul Rand to be "the first guru of design"; Rand gave Fletcher, as a young designer, his first freelance work in the United States, for IBM.
I was introduced to Rand's work while a student, by a college tutor, Richard McConnell (whose brother, the outstanding designer John McConnell, of Pentagram, is undoubtedly a disciple of Rand's "ideas" approach to graphics). What excited me about it was that the designs were concerned with ideas and content, not just technique. This was design that encompassed both simplicity and clarity of message, by aesthetic and intellectual means, and which surpassed any notion of fashion.
It was through my own writings on design, which he encouraged, that I established a friendship and correspondence with Rand over several years. He was unceasingly inquisitive about design in the UK (or Merry England, as he called it) and anything related to design. His sharp wit, anecdotes and invaluable advice were a revelation to me. For a man in his seventies his acute perception of the world was that of a man of half his age.
In his later years Rand became increasingly disaffected with the vacuousness of much of contemporary graphic design, a subject for which he found expression in his brilliant book Design, Form and Chaos (1994). In it he wrote: "The absence of restraint, the equation of simplicity with shallowness, complexity with depth of understanding and obscurity with innovations, distinguishes the work of these times."
The last time we spoke, only a few days before he died, he was, as ever, looking to the future; the planning of a retrospective exhibition of his work to be held in New York and the publication of his latest book, From Lascaux to Brooklyn (1996).
Paul Rand, graphic designer: born Brooklyn, New York 1914; Professor of Graphic Design, Yale University 1956-92; married Marion Swannie (one daughter); died Norwalk, Connecticut 26 November 1996.

Does anyone know if EK will be adding a third city in Japan like HND or NRT any time soon? Or are there any other Japanese cities to be added in the pipeline?
Also are we going to see EY and QR follow suit?

'Do the right thing and tell on a pirate' - software bods
Anyone in the West Country yearning to dob in a work colleague for illegally downloading software should take heart that a Federation Against Software Theft (FAST) roadshow is coming to a town near you. An anti-piracy whistleblower campaign is kicking off in cider country next month, starting at an event in Bristol where FAST, …
Police involved in crime investigation shock horror!!
Mr Plod shows an interest in something to do with tech crime? Does this mean that they will be investigating credit card fraud and identity theft now?
Or is a certain amount of "corporate sponsorhip" required to elicit the required response.
Re: Police involved in crime investigation shock horror!!
Yes it would seem our once beloved plod has now become the private army of the corporate establishment, especially those of the copyright cartel inclination. Remember Beardy Branson's donation to the police benevolent fund ? Note brown envelope in pocket icon.
Disclaimer: I am in no way a swivel eyed tory voting loon who reads the Daily nazigraph, it just came out top on Google.
Yes, do the right thing
Switch to FOSS software for free, easy* license compliance!
(*note: I am talking about for using the software in an office, not bundling it with your commercial offerings, that's where it tends to get complex)
Re: Yes, do the right thing
have you ever tried that in an actual office environment? if so, I'd love to know how you accomplished it.
Why are they using taking up police time?
Copyright law is contract law. Its not criminal law. The police should only be involved when a judge tell them to.
The police should not be used as corporate enforcers.
Re: Why are they using taking up police time?
Yeah - but if they are making copies of the software and selling it that could easily be counterfeiting which is a criminal offence.
Re: Why are they using taking up police time?
Copyright infringement for profit is a criminal matter.
Re: Why are they using taking up police time?
I thought copyright infringement was a civil offence?
Re: Why are they using taking up police time?
Copyright infringement is separated into two different areas. Primary infringement, and (you guessed it...) secondary infringement. The former covers the actual act of copying, and is a civil offence, whereas the latter involves dealing with copied works - including selling, or othewise using for profit, and (key here), possesion in the course of business. Primary infringement is a civil matter, so you can just be liable for damages etc. whereas secondary infringement is worse than pedophilia in the state's eyes and can result in hundreds of years in prison (in the USA at least).
Funny world we live in.
Re: Why are they using taking up police time?
> I thought copyright infringement was a civil offence?
Things have changed...
Section 107 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 says :-
A person commits an offence who, without the licence of the copyright owner—
(a)makes for sale or hire, or
(b)imports into the United Kingdom otherwise than for his private and domestic use, or
(c)possesses in the course of a business with a view to committing any act infringing the copyright, or
(d)in the course of a business —
(i)sells or lets for hire, or
(ii)offers or exposes for sale or hire, or
(iii)exhibits in public, or
(iv)distributes, or
(e)distributes otherwise than in the course of a business to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the owner of the copyright,
an article which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe is, an infringing copy of a copyright work.
It's evil legislation, but it criminalises commercial copyright infringement.
Do they also guarantee anonymity for snitching on your co-workers?
Re: Charming
They do suggest that you'll get a tax receipt and a job, so no, anonymity wouldn't work.
Yep - bring it on!
Of course we should snitch on pirates - oh how I wish the media would highlight those bandits who stole 25 years retrospective extra copyright fees from us. Naturally no compensation to the originator of the work (who were mostly dead anyway).
Another victory for the lobby thieves ... if only Shakespeare had signed up with Sony we would be paying them for every sonnet ever recited!
A mouthpiece at FAST told us that "staff are motivated to blow the whistle to limit their potential exposure to criminal offences and to 'do the right thing'."
Have I missed some major changes or is that complete FUD? AFAIK it's not a criminal offence to not grass someone up for installing unlicensed software. Hell, I'm not sure it's even a criminal offence to simply be the one using it on a work pc.
@AC 11:16 (were no posts when I started typing!) Copyright Infringement can be a criminal offence in the UK, but it does require a certain set of circumstances. Agree it's an un-necessary waste of plod hours though
Under new laws, about to be brought in by the lobbyists, failing to inform the police about your possible suspicions will be a 'lack-of-thought crime'.
"I he clicks on something, say something!"
Under the new law ...
... mothers giving birth will be required to propel the new born through a hoop covered with paper imprinted with a EULA. Rupturing the paper signifies acceptance of the agreement by the infant who will also be required to bear a middle name from the following shortlist: Excel, Adobe, Sage, and of course, Sweatybaldman

Just report every MS backoffice setup
they are almost certainly running unlicensed software - not intentionally perhaps but I've yet to meet anyone who says they understand microsoft licensing with any confidence - and that include MS employees when I've bothered to ask them to explain.
Re: Just report every MS backoffice setup
My guess (a wild guess as I have almost nothing to do with MS software) is that many may be "overlicensed".
Re: Just report every MS backoffice setup
No one has ever been able to state with confidence that they are 100% legal while using any kind of volume Microsoft licensing. The licensing is insanely complicated and riddled with so many hedging of terms and impenetrable waffle that the best you can do is make a best guess at it and hope no-one challenges you. And yes, that confusion does extend to Microsoft employees. Last conversation I ever had with Microsoft about this concluded that it was up to me to decide what Microsoft licensing I needed and how it applied to me. They wouldn't help. This meant that if anyone later decided I'd got it wrong, it was 100% my fault, not theirs. Which was nice of them.
Re: Just report every MS backoffice setup
I've had the exact same experience with MS licensing (nice patient people, it must be sad to have that as a job), and they ended up saying the same thing - it was up to me to decide what applied to our organisation. Scary that, what with the likes of BSA and FAST depending on punitive audit-based fines for their existence.
Adobe on the other hand, while their stuff is fiendishly expensive, are pretty straightforward when it comes to licensing.
Somthing to do at lunch
Whoo. Time to go down to 'vuh senterrrrgh' (the centre) and laugh at an empty stall manned by thought police wannabes.
They'd better have free gifts. I want a FACT baseball cap.
Re: Somthing to do at lunch
Then you can cross out the A and tippex in a U :oD
In fact if they're free can you bag me one (or more)
Re: Somthing to do at lunch
If they're not free, just run off a couple of copies
Now if only they'd actually take action when you report a large corporation using a fortune in pirated software, they might actually get results.
What do you mean "but they have money for layers to defend themselves"?
Remember kids
People are either a criminal or a thought criminal, may as well dob them in now.
If every pirate was grassed up...
... there wouldn't be many people left. I expect most people in computing have used pirated software at one point or another.
staff are motivated to blow the whistle to limit their potential exposure to criminal offences
This is a worrying statement. Taken at face value, it reads as if you, as an employee, may be liable for using the company's dodgy software. If so, why the hell is liability falling on the employee? Is it their job to police the rubbish the company installs on their machines? In some cases, how is the employee even supposed to know what is and is not legitimate?
Re: staff are motivated to blow the whistle to limit their potential exposure to criminal offences
It is a criminal offence to know about a crime being committed and not report it, so if a company is profiting from illegal use of software, it's entirely possible that everyone who knowingly uses that software in the company is liable.
Re: staff are motivated to blow the whistle to limit their potential exposure to criminal offences
'it's entirely possible that everyone who knowingly uses that software in the company is liable.'
Only if they know it's pirated. I have no idea, much less care if this box I'm using has a valid windows/office/etc licence. I don't work in procurements.
Besides from that, there will be loads of infringement on 'freeware' stuff because people assume that because they can download and install it for free at home, they can do so on their work pc, a lot of the time this is not the case. We have a list somewhere buried in the bowels of our intranet (in the sort of way it's almost as if they don't want you to find it) that states freeware we can and can't use. It wouldn't have been hard to be an infringer, put it that way.
Re: staff are motivated to blow the whistle to limit their potential exposure to criminal offences
"It is a criminal offence to know about a crime being committed and not report it"
No it is not. There are a number of exceptions to this, but they are few and mainly focus on terrorism and child sex abuse.
That gives me an idea
Can't we bury these muppets under reports of not-for-commercial-use freeware?
I want to report someone
"Hello I want to report a pirate."
"OK where?"
"Off the coast of Somalia."
The thing that a lot of people miss who seem to think it's ok to just copy whatever software you want, because "y'know only big business suffers and even then, I wouldn't have bought it, it costs too much" is that: Taking copies of commercial software when there are intendant vendors or FOSS vendors producing competitor products, enormously harms those competitor products.
Put simply: Taking whatever commercial software you want harms FOSS.
Commercial software is actually what drove me to FOSS.
Word added the ribbon, I added OpenOffice.
Photoshop cost an arm and a leg, I added Paint.NET
Visual Studio proffesional is insanely expensive... I jsut use express >.>
Windows 8 is shitty(imo), I put MINT onto new computers now
3DSMax is expensive and complex, I install Blender, which is just as complex if not moreso, but free.
Aside from the OS and games, I don't have a single piece of 'paid for' software on my PC anymore. And as soon as I can play all my games in Mint, I probably won't have the OS on my pricey list either. So long as they get Netflix and Sky Go working in Linux mind you.
Hobbyist by any chance?
If I ratted out all of my friends that have ever pirated software/music/movies before, I'd be a very lonely person.
Think I'll turn up in a Copyright Infringement isn't theft t-shirt
Watch it! They'll start doing people for "Incitement to commit copyright infringement" next!
FTFA : "The commercial value of this equates to £1.5bn annually, claimed FAST chief executive Alex Hilton, and this is cash he reckoned is "taken out of investment, taken out of tax receipts and taken out of job creation".
I'm not an Economist, and I don't get it. Wouldn't that money then be spent in another way, going into the economy by another route? And as we are talking largely Microsoft, Adobe and other foreign software companies, maybe that money is more likely to end up in the Bristol/UK economy rather than going abroad via Amazon to make the likes of Gates and Balmer even richer.
Devil's advocate.
Re: IANAE
I think the money would be parked in an account in Ireland?
Re: IANAE
Of course.
Someone from dim & slow-witted country thinks that people have a money printing machine like a Central Bank and thus should be forced to keynesianistically pump it out to increase GDP. Similar ideas can be heard from 5-year olds and Krugman. Doesn't mean they make any sense.
Guess he's just shilling for the software rent seekers though (who brought us such nice presents like software patents and similar rapes of Joe Public) who have marginal production costs anyway, so don't expect a job to be created for a guy to watch the shrink-wrapping machine if you shell out for overpriced buggy stuff.
Re: IANAE
> I think the money would be parked in an account in Ireland?
Which would be cool too. That would be savings. Savings decrease the cost of borrowed money (i.e. interest rates). Hence investments can take off. Of course, in these fairy tale days of neverending bubbles, interest rates are kept low by ministerial decree followed by printing press noises, which causes inflation, puts the economy on amphetamine (no teeth after a decade or so) and nukes your pension scheme. But hey, that's pretty complex for people to understand. And the minister can take a hefty wank because he "helped the economy", natch.
That's the spirit - we want to see more of this
"Do the right thing and tell on a software pirate."
Next, very popular with little old ladies:
"Do the right thing and tell on a terrorist."
Now, since all methods are valid in this struggle:
"Do the right thing and tell on a tax-dodger."
Take advantage of the momentum at local level:
"Do the right thing and tell on your neighbour if they don't sort their garbage properly."
Go a little further on this tack - why not:
"Do the right thing and tell on your neighbour if they put up a shed or do a barbecue in their garden without permission."
Let's now leverage the power of childhood:
"Do the right thing and tell on your friends at school if you notice them behaving in a way that is not sanctioned by the party."
Now go in for the kill:
"Do the right thing and tell on your parents if you hear them complain about the government."
Hey presto - a perfect society.
Re: That's the spirit - we want to see more of this
So your argument is that you should never inform on anyone committing a crime because you read ninteeneighty-four once and you think that any informers will cause society to end up like that?
You don't suppose that if criminals are allowed to get away with anything because no-one will inform on them that this would also be a highly undesirable society.
Re: That's the spirit - we want to see more of this
Then can I report approximately 650 expense-fiddlers who are also guilty of "Obtaining pecuniary advantage by false pretences" (pre-election claims), fraud (ditto and misuse of public funds), iffy tax/overseas trust arrangements etc. They're ALL guilty of at least one of 'em.
yes, Inspector Knacker - I can tell you where to find them:- It's a big building called "The Palace of Westminster"...
Re: That's the spirit - we want to see more of this
+1 for a quality example of the slippery slope logical fallacy - and many thanks for refraining from paraphrasing Niemöller.
So if I report a GPL violation...
Say I report one of the many Android devices (or NAS boxes, or media players, or...) with no kernel source available, will they get them to release the source? Or is that not the sort of copyright theft they're interested in?
I'd just like to say

While Dickie claims Israel is licking its chops over the ouster of Egypt's Mohammed Morsi, Hizbullah's Al Manar is claiming the exact opposite.
Zionist state officials considered that ousting Mursi threatened the security and stability on the Palestinian-Egyptian borders, especially in Sinai.
They have also admitted that the growing instability in Egypt would make it harder for the Egyptians to maintain their control in Sinai. The officials said the main concern is that the vacuum there will be used to carry out attacks against the Zionist entity.
Although I somehow doubt the veracity of this alleged quote by an Israeli official:
"The Zionist entity enjoyed good security cooperation with Egypt under Mursi," one official said.
Meanwhile, someone at Al Manar has really dropped the ball.
An Israeli official considered that ousting Mursi cannot "vanish the extremists."

Good read, Iunno if the slow comment was sarcastic or not however. Even level 1 slow is enough to cause players to panic and break rank, trying to slip into a back flank. So it works great as a method to catch players, and a method to scare players into doing what you need them to do.
Combo wise, I disagree slightly. Each hit cancels with SS to the point where there's no after animation lag, therefore a player can slink in boomerangs after the second hit, and still catch in melee stun animation. Even if you screw up, most scissors / papers panic and try to boost straight up, combined with the slow aliment, this fails and you can quickly and efficiently rip them apart in air.
For stock, a more efficient combo is 2 -> mca -> 2 mca -> boost down, stopping on the second stage, and then simply pulling off and spamming boomerangs into the back side. This is a heavily abridged version of what Alphaedge on KR does, and it works for a great quick kill, especially with how fast SC's 2 hit mca combo works. In fact, with how efficient SC's boost down is, I'd recommend it as the last hit in any of SC's combos.
This is for 2 fold-
1- It disables an enemy's movements, and essentially locks his position preventing him from being a threat for a few seconds.
2- You'll often have allies who are hungering for glory and will quickly put the disabled enemy out of his misery. Especially important because SC's range game isn't too incredible.
It's worthy of noting that once you hit a higher point of skill and ability, you can stop early on the second hit and pull off in a straight boost. For the average player, stopping your melee on the second hit will give you enough time to avoid a spec in retaliation. This is namely due to most players attempting to spec right when the first melee hit connects. The lag prevents the spec from going off instantaneously, and instead goes off a little after your second melee swing connects. Once they're in a spec tracking animation, just boost behind them and nudge their backside. However, because of lag involved in SDGO, always do at least one melee hit before attempting a boost down so you have stun frames holding the suit from flying away.
I've also found that Sword Calamity has the best subshot for swatting people down in midair, and that once you get comfortable with it, are able to boost down rushing rocks out of midair for easy kills.
So yea, good sword rock in my opinion, and easily one of the most versatile A ranks in the game, provided there are no suits with the no flinch property. Doubly so for you lucky TW players who can get 3 slotted Sword Calamity Gundams.
