• MetaFilter: Pirates' Rule
  The Golden Age of Piracy [video/audio] in the Atlantic peaked as the War of Spanish Succession ended. Piracy was a natural progression for the privateers [2] and buccaneers who had lost their sanctioned prey, and faced little resistance due to a lack of strong government in the majority of the American Colonies. Meanwhile captured naval seamen and slaves often willingly joined with pirates, or fled brutal treatment for the egalitarianism of piracy. This motley crew of motives were united in pirate democracy, laid down in a pirate code, preparing the way for democracy in the United States. But as the popularity of pirate life and pirate utopias grew strong, they became a pest to be mercilessly crushed by colonial opposition and the British navy.

• mgrier's WebLog There's data and then there's metadata...
  However for all the groovyness that was win.ini, it was also a nightmare. People didn't edit it correctly and installation programs didn't modify it correctly. A setup that actually had an uninstaller was not that common and one that could edit win.ini to remove itself without commonly corrupting win.ini was even rarer. So then someone (I'm sorry, I don't know who and I'm not sure if they're a hero or a villian) invented a simple tree-structured namespace (very similar to the tree structured namespaces of naming services in vogue around the same time) with a semi-decent API around not only reading it but also writing it called the registry. The registry started to house two important kinds of meta-data: configuration an

• My Paranormal Life: How to make a fake ghost video
  I thought this would be fun to share, since learning about video editing and 3D effects I've learnt a few things and also being as cheap as I am, I have put together a video tutorial on how to make a basic fake ghost video using only free software. The results will depend on how much time you want to put into it, for me I am going to use this technique to make a series of funny video shorts, well I hope they will be funny. The tutorial video took me about 20 minutes to make and the actual ghost video will take less than ten minutes. I also hope that this will give some insight into recognising fake ghost videos that claim to be real, something I will never do. How to make a fake ghost video.

• New Systems Possibilities and Proposals
  We at the Next System Project want to help dispel the wrongheaded idea that “there is no alternative.” To that end, we have been gathering some of the most interesting and important proposals for political-economic alternatives – in effect, descriptions of new systems. Some are more detailed than others, but each seeks to envision something very different from today’s political economy.

• O'Reilly Radar > Better Gmail
  Paul Kedrosky pointed to Lifehacker's Better Gmail. I hope Paul won't mind if I just reprint his entire Better Gmail is Gmail 2.0 post here, since it says it all, elegantly and forcefully: Gina at Lifehacker has created the #1 most important tool any Gmail user needs. It's an add-in, called Better Gmail, combining all the major Greasemonkey hacks for Firefox-based Gmail users, and it turns Gmail from indispensable into ... really indispensable. I'm already using most of the pieces as discrete Greasemonkey hacks, but bundling them all like this is a work of genius. Just install it. Now. Lifehacker also has a good tutorial on using the extension. A really interesting side note: as Better Gmail is a firefox extension, it's not available for IE users. I
