Nice to see that Japan won't forget his lies and policy inconsistencies. Noda lies, blowup pigs fly, and people protest in the rain...
The photo in't as powerful as a few before it, but it's nice to see that people won't give up. Onniyama, did you get my email? or at least the facebook msg. We all have too much going on, i know... work, family, little emergencies

Oh.. **respect**
I didn't quite pick up on that from reading your comments. I suppose i should have, being close to the same industry, it's just that you already have a reputation as the skeptic and someone who adds dimension to every debate by taking the side of unpopular opinion.
While not exactly a photographer myself, i'm quite familiar with all the stuff you talk about here, as as enthusiast/ professional (depending on the area) having worked as a "Photoshop guy" for a couple of years, most of it during the height of the real estate boom, all of '05 until late '07, when things got really still before the market imploded. As far as real estate stuff goes, it was fairly repetitive work and none of it really pushed the envelope of what i can do, but it consisted of taking whatever they had and making the best of it through post-processing, as well as fixing some bad shadows and reflections, fingertips, etc, etc.. You can probably imagine what the work was like...Yeah... bad food, coffee and "stimulants", sometimes no sleep for three days at a time, cracking jokes one moment and then snapping the next and getting into a yelling match when someone bothered me, because i'm not one of those people who can handle being awake for that long. But i didn't care, being young and it paid well enough. I'd do it again if i had the chance, even though it won't happen. I've done marketing materials as well and business cards, and whatever else beside this zombie kind of work, but the point is the raw material i was given to work with was pretty abysmal at times, and i learned to deal with it, having come up with a few techniques for even the worst of cases.
This is what i mean by raw. Unprocessed, straight from the memory card. If i were referring to RAW data, i would write it uppercase and without quotes. And yes, i did see the sensor noise in that one, the purple and lime green. Reminds me of my old Sony camera, which was both nice and horrible at once. It felt nice in the hand and the controls were positioned just right, the colors were true to life and needed no adjustment, but the sensor had only a narrow range of where it could perform well. Too dark and the sensor noise showed up, mostly RGB fuzz (purple and green is from fluorescent, so i might be wrong about the nature of lightbulbs in this photo... they might be CFLs, but could still be halogens), too bright and some overexposed objects suddenly had blue and purple outlines. There's a name for it, some kind of a pixel overflow that CCD sensors can suffer from. As much as i liked using the full manual mode, the sensor quirks that were usually hidden by camera firmware kind of ruined the experience.. and by "old" i mean summer of '01...
I could see myself walking along with my cell phone and snapping a photo like this and not thinking of it as being too bad, because i've not touched a real camera in three and half years. A side effect of owning a phone with a good enough camera and firmware... and my other two phones. It would have looked about the same, although i would try to fit something more than the building into the frame, because the building feels like it has no context.
So yeah, i can see how you can say it's awful. I'm just as picky about typography as you are about taking a quality photo. To each their own. I've seen enough crap that this looks somewhat reasonable in comparison, even though it's kind of a strain on the eyes. A blog photo is a great way to describe it.

If someone's IP address shows up at a torrent, the police have enough grounds to request the data logs from the ISP. Whatever shows up in the logs will be enough grounds for a search warrant, and whatever is seized will be enough for a conviction. Sad, isn't it? Like pulling on one string and unraveling a whole T-shirt...

@basroil,
You probably mean there was no post-processing done, that it's a "raw" photo. Not as much to do with exposure time, when the camera gets blinded by so many incandescent lamps. Each bulb is at leas 60W, maybe even 75, and without having any flash from the photographer's side, there is nothing to fill in the shadows and balance with the brightness of those bulbs. If it were my building, i'd keep the bulbs to 25W for a warmer, gentler glow.
This however is a garishly decorated building... with faded rags, spray paint and a bohemian feel to it, so i'm not too offended the the photo quality....

Well, not necessarily. The ISPs in every country already log your internet traffic, including the incoming and outgoing IP addresses, file names and sizes, total bandwidth use, connection uptime (duration and time of day), etc. It's quite a bit of data, but in doing so they absolve themselves of the responsibility for what their customers do.
As the service provider, they can face criminal charges if they don't hand over their logs in case their bandwidth and IP addresses are somehow involved in criminal activities.
Now, here lies the problem. DSL internet service is basically dial-up 2.0, still uses a phone line and dials in to the ISP to obtain its global IP address. The ISP has its IP block that serves its users in a certain geographic area, and the modem gets assigned one of those unused addresses randomly, recycling them between users. Most DSL modems are configured by default to disconnect when they are not in use, although i set mine to "keep alive" the connection 24/7. This way a dozen people may use the same IP address within a certain amount of time. Think of the IP as a rental car.. that's a perfect analogy.
So, if say, Pervert X is arrested after a concerned neighbor reports hearing muffled cries of a child coming from the single man's apartment. The police seize the rugs, the couch, several computers and mobile phones, clothes and camera equipment. Investigators would then call the ISP and request all of the IP addresses that were used by his modem as well as the access logs for those IP addresses.
Now Taro across town has just discovered the Beatles and downloaded several albums' worth of CD quality losslessly encoded MP3s and a 950MB recording of a live concert. One of the IP addresses in rotation goes to him after being used for nefarious purposes. Through a mix-up or incompetence, Taro's access log may also be handed over if the IP address was recycled the same day, and even though the investigators will see that it's not a piece of the Pervert X's log, it's up to them to decide whether they want to prosecute Taro or not.
It's not crazy to assume this will happen, through mis-communication or some other accidental means. And Taro can't say that he was illegally wiretapped, if the logs are legal and the request was made through a lawful means.

Sounds just like the US with the Patriot Act. Any communication by foreigners or with foreigners ("registered" US-based foreigners or non-US phone numbers) is wiretapped and scanned for suspicious words before being either archived or discarded.
But in Japan, they still need to fax a piece of paper to the telco with an authorization to wiretap, and it's can't be issued by the tea lady, the janitor or a rookie cop. Somebody has to do it, even if not the judge, before wiretapping the gaijin.

If someone is downloading a 10 minute video of child pornography, they won't be monitored and stopped that very same minute... it can take a few days before the evidence is collected from the ISP, or it can even go unnoticed. However, when another person downloads 10 minutes worth of badly compressed music videos, that will be recorded immediately and they can be held responsible.
But watching someone traumatizing a child in unspeakable ways is much more of a crime in my opinion than watching a grainy copy of Rihanna's 3 year old music video... don't you agree?

I didn't intend it to mean that they aren't allowed to do it at all. For that you need a court order, and the police need to wait for it before they can go through the cell phone provider, not always convenient when the Yaks prefer to use prepaid phones under somebody else's name, which they can get rid of if they suspect the line is being wiretapped. It's not the same as secretly going behind someone's house and plugging in your equipment. It takes much more work to get to where you have their conversations recorded.
In this case here, the ISPs monitor the internet user's traffic in realtime, no court order required. There was a case a few years ago where someone was also selling child porn using prepaid cellular internet modems, which made it difficult to control the situation.
I still stand by my belief that the laws make it easier to target the average citizen than the truly disruptive organized crime.

It's not so much the taste as the feeling. Like i said, i didn't really care for coffee before... and i could never drink decaf. It seems that caffeine complements one of the mood altering substances in tobacco. But i'm not one of those inconsiderate people, i was just surprised that your reaction to cigarette smoke is worse with coffee than without. Something i never knew until now.

Now that's some wish. I know who you're referring to.
@soldave,
It's a great point. The police aren't allowed to wiretap the Yakuza making phonecalls AFAIK, but the system is now in place to monitor and arrest little girls watching AKB48 on YouTube. That's some double standards. Methinks the Yakuza need to start their own ISP that will be off-limits to RIAJ and the police. (sarcasm)
I just feel that their priorities are really out of place with this. Where will the money go? Where will they put the juvenile offenders? Will it ruin lives? I feel that Anons have the same questions on their minds, and i fully support them in this gesture, just as i did when they attacked Monsanto... one thing though, pick your targets more carefully, no more water management facilities, ok?

Oh how funny. For a smoker like me, a cup of coffee with is just not complete without a cigarette.... They go so well together. I hardly drank any coffee until i started smoking, and then it was like "wow!"... And it's not just me.
Didn't realize just how much it bothers you guys. I figured at least coffee should sort of block it out, as they are both a variation of something that's slightly burnt :)

The Japanese gov't should have known better. These guys just do it for sport, and anything that gives even a tiny bit of moral justification for the attacks is a good enough excuse for them to go out and do it again.
No one should ever forget what Anons did to HBGary Federal. http://attrition.org/errata/sec-co/hbgary01.html The company was practically begging them stop. There is a chat log of it out there....

They are quite wonderful, if you ask me. But as a smoker, i'm somewhat biased :)
It's not like these kids never saw anyone else smoking. And at their age, probably tried it themselves. So no harm from seeing someone else smoke... it's not like he was shooting up heroin with a used needle.
As for the mayor's scheme, i think it's a calculated move, without a doubt. He's crazy, like a fox, and the Japanese will mostly just take it, and some secretly cheer him on. He's the kind of guy that enjoys power and won't hesitate to go after someone as a display of "strength". He enjoys harassing those whom he considers useless... all for laughs and fun. Might not be the most pleasant person to deal with, but we are talking about a lawyer here, and someone with long-held grudges and emotional wounds. He's past the point where he could care if he is hurting someone. Like an animal that's tasted blood.

You don't know what TOR is?
Even the CIA and related agencies have used it, tested it and found it to be adequate. It's based on the P2P principle, and is much too hard to break, even for them. Recently a "weakness" was found where people using it could be traced, but that was only when they were using TOR for downloading a large file via a torrenting app. Most users just use it to surf the net, and others are able to host a web server that feeds its traffic through the "onion" network of TOR and uses a .tor domain name, accessible only to TOR users.
And the more users are in the network, the harder it is to crack and faster it gets. Human rights activists in China and Iran use it to post to their blogs and access the unfiltered internet. They have yet to be arrested.
So don't judge TOR before you take a good look at it :) ..it's nothing like those proxies, which are centralized corporate entities. All it takes is a court order to know who is behind one, which is how they arrested Topiary. The downside of TOR is only that it is slow, adding a whole minute to your requests when the system is busy, but on a good day, it's only a 10 second delay.
TOR is a powerful tool that can give anonymity to many people, both good and bad, but mostly good. One day you might need it yourself. I don't advocate that anyone use it to do anything illegal, however, it's the last resort for those who used to operate out in the open... much like the Yakuza, with its storefronts and business cards. But they are all being driven underground, and the "underground" belongs to us, the people who use TOR when we feel like we deserve some privacy. We are the same ones who complain each time Facebook changes our privacy settings without asking, or when a major corporation saves unencrypted credit card info to its servers, when even it they encrypted it before saving, it it against the law.
