I'm rather sick and tired of seeing "pretty girls" that all look the same...waaay too tan, fried straight blonde hair, and who wear more makeup than cloths. They all look the same, take the same kind of photos with the same kind of people who all make the same kind of faces. so why is this desirable? those girls are a dime a dozen

Becuase magazines, TV and public stereotypes tell girls that this is the way to look... Also, surf magazines, Playboy, WWE wrestling and 'locker-room opinion' tell guys that this is to be desired... and to not do so, and have your manhood and sexuality questioned, would strike fear into the heart of many a young teenage boy.

"The first bite was a satisfying mouthful. The bun, while not superior, was a serviceable commercial choice that had the sponginess that contained the burger. It also had a little grilling on it to add that extra layer of texture. The cheese was melted beautifully so as to provide smoothness without turning into a fondue. The onions were near perfection, as they had been grilled just into caramelization without losing their pleasing bite."

Someone’s Started a Flickr is Fascist Blog, Accuses Flickr of Anti-Gay Censorship Policies - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

"A community of ‘candid’ photographers of men in public situations (all of whom have paid for their accounts in good faith) has been displaced and silenced on photo-sharing site Flickr in less than a fortnight. Four prominent photostreams as well as countless photos vanished from July 6th 2009 to July 13th 2009 without warning or right to appeal. At least one site had over a million hits in less than a year. Flickr has stubbornly refused to give a reason for its recent axe-grinding mission against these sites, but one user was given the reason ‘voyeur content’ after more than 8 days of asking for a reason yet that particular site contained pictures of men in public which is legal. Flickr has refused to expand on the reason it gave, but cited its ambiguous and open-ended ‘Don’t be creepy’ clause in its Terms of Service asjustification for terminating at least one photostream. Flickr has also silenced debate about the issue on its Help Forum. When confronted with whether or nor the...

Good! Flickr is out of control. They should not be allowed to delete a paying customer's photo or photostream without notifying the customer of the "problem" and giving them a chance to correct/explain the situation. It's just bad business. Flickr is a great site, but the negatives are slowly chipping away at the positives.

- Simon Wicks
Seems like the more we rely on web services the more of our rights we inadvertently give up. With web services being bought, sold, discontinued, or the arbitrary rules that they invoke, we are more and more at the mercy of whim of the site owner. It seems like it is time for some sort of universal user bill of rights that defines a minimum level of service we should expect and defines guidelines for disputes between users and service providers.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Well Thomas, as the CEO of a competitor to Flickr, it was only a matter of time before they tired of your "crusades" and troublemaking. (regardless of how worthwhile they are, and they are)
- Robert Kenney
I have kept my photos on Flickr, because that is where my family goes to, but I also have them on Zooomr, really not happy with Flickr
- Kim Landwehr
This is clearly a signal that Flickr is on the move. To be spun-off, sold, etc. As part of preparations for this, they have been given a mandate to clean-up the site of "less desirable" content to make it more marketable to a buyer.
- Robert Kenney
What are the best alternatives to Flickr?
- Johnny
Johnny, that depends on what you want from the site. If you want a community, then Flickr is probably the best. If you just want a place to host your photos or sell your work. there are plenty of other options. Here are several that come to mind. Zooomr, Smugmug, Picassa, Snapfish.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Robert Kenney: Thomas has been a critic of flickr, but he's also an advocate and user of flickr, in addition to being a competitor. The photo sharing biz is funny that way.
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
i also don't like the fact that Flickr staff refers to me as "abusive" before kicking me out of the forum. My criticism has always been respectful. Simply because someone criticizes you does not make them "abusive" that's such a loaded almost libelous term. I resent that Flickr would call me abusive and then lock me out of the forum where I can't defend myself against that accusation.
- Thomas Hawk
Flickr is not a democracy, as they remind all of us again and again.
- Robert Kenney
Robert, but users should be able to expect a certain level of civility and recourse that you expect, (and is often required by law) when doing business with a brick and mortar establishment.
- Jeff P. Henderson
the anti flickr blog by the way has moved and I honestly have absolutely zero to do with this new anti flickr blog. I was simply reporting on it after the authors of the blog (who I do not know who they are) pointed it out to me. http://saynotoflickr.blogspot.com
- Thomas Hawk
Jeff, my point exactly.
- Robert Kenney
I've been arguing against arbitrary account deletions and censorship there pretty passionately for a while. Especially lately as the account deletions seem to have escalated (and especially anything associated with or male gay related). I suppose they don't like being criticized for their deletion decisions, but personally I think labeling me as "abusive" for it and censoring me is yet another bad tact for them to take.
- Thomas Hawk
don't like flickr's problems? put your pix somewhere else. It's a website, not a national government; it's not fascist.
- Chieze Okoye
Most of the time those being deleted have no platform to object and so they turn to the only public avenue that they know the help forum. I like sticking up for the little guy, especially when he/she's in the right. It is frustrating though feeling like you are banging your head against the wall with Flickr who just seem frankly not to care one bit about the criticism or even ever address their censorship choosing to simply lock any thread objecting to it.
- Thomas Hawk
no, Chieze, it's not just a "website," any more than FriendFeed is just a "website." It's a community. That's always been what's made it special. It's just too bad that those overseeing the community don't feel that they need to have respect for it.
- Thomas Hawk
My contention is that Friendfeed *is* just a website, though. It's kinda nice when they get stuff right, and kinda bad when they get stuff wrong, but at the end of the day, it's just a tool. Is your tool breaking or acting up? Try to fix it within your capacity (writing blogs sometimes works when you're not part of the development itself, but bandying about hyperbole like calling a website fascist usually doesn't) or just move to the next tool that will work reliably the way you want.
- Chieze Okoye
There's a huge audience that you only reach through Flickr. There's no "next tool" to reach that many.
- Bruce Lewis
Chieze, I didn't call Flickr fascist. I simply reported on the fact that *somebody else* started a blog called that. I pretty much report on everything that's related to flickr that I come across. I'm not sure why I should have been banned simply for reporting on it. We'll have to disagree on both Flickr and FriendFeed merely being "websites." I hold to my contention that they are far, far, more than just "websites," that they are very significant hubs for communities, both of them in fact.
- Thomas Hawk
The thing that bugs me most about the way Flickr deals with things is that they delete and/or block, giving the accused no avenue for recourse. If they want to accuse me of having photos on the site that aren't mine, that's fine, but don't take down the evidence. They should have to leave the pics up there and prove to me that they are right. How could I do that after my pictures have...

Chieze, I'm well aware there are other photo sharing sites. I run one. But for photographers with a professional interest in getting noticed, Flickr is not optional.

Saying there are options to Flickr is like saying there are options to Windows. Sure, technically there are but not may people use them.
- ChiliMac
Yeah, Flickr isn't optional if you want to build a brand/reputation or just get noticed. Which sucks, because I'd have dumped my account there in protest a while ago if that wasn't the case. What's idiotic is that I can't even fathom a reason for these absurd censorship policies. How difficult can it be to implement an holding pen for violating accounts and a review process before they pull that delete trigger?

Jeff P. Henderson liked this
Laser beams.
- Luke Stay
I think the last step in most methods involves a trip to Home Depot to buy a new bolt the proper length.
- Ken Sheppardson
Screw a die on before cutting the bolt. Screw the die off to remove the burrs. You should be able to screw things on after that. If you don't have a die set on hand, then it's probably cheaper and easier to follow Ken's suggestion.
- Gary Burd
The problem is I need a 6" or so threaded rod and they only sell them in longer sizes at Home Depot. That would be the easiest solution if I could find one.
- Jesse Stay
Well if you want to experiment, you might grab a few of the largest nuts you can find that'll fit on the rod. You could put a couple on the rod to let you grab it in a vice to hold it, then thread two on with just enough of a gap in between them that they'll guide your hacksaw blade. Taking the nut off once the rod is cut may or may not have the same effect as the die Gary suggested.
- Ken Sheppardson
Another option is to file the burrs off after cutting the rod.
- Gary Burd
I think we got it working. Because we could thread it from both ends I could do with an end that was unthreadable. I think it worked - thanks guys!

I know. I talked to my illustration teacher about it - Illustrative Techniques 2 has never had 9 students it requires to be made a class, so they've never taught it. She finally got enough students for it for this semester, but since the full time professor who also (theoretically) teachers it didn't get enough, he is taking over her class. Well, most people who signed up to take it signed up because she was the teacher, and dropped it when it was taken from her. So it's not going to be a class, again.

Yeah, at this point it doesn't affect me but I am hoping they can pull it together soon. I was thinking about writing the department head asking for confirmation that what I was told was accurate.

I do remember Anthrax the band and you're post just reminded me that a decade is almost over! Wow. What is this decade called? I guess the next one is the 10s (tens).

FF is infinitely richer than "the stories". At least this is real! I never understood how people could invest so much time and energy into something fictional. I've had small bouts of that in my life, but they never last for long. Not just soap operas, but sci-fi epics, fantasy, romance novels, all of that stuff. Perhaps I'm not as much of a geek as I think I am. Or maybe my attention span is a little too short... I need lots and lots of variety. FF haz that.

Yahoo Issues Takedown Notice for Spying Price List | Threat Level | Wired.com - http://www.wired.com/threatl...

"Yahoo isn’t happy that a detailed menu of the spying services it provides law enforcement agencies has leaked onto the web. Shortly after Threat Level reported this week that Yahoo had blocked the FOIA release of its law enforcement and intelligence price list, someone provided a copy of the company’s spying guide to the whistleblower site Cryptome. The 17-page guide describes Yahoo’s data retention policies and the surveillance capabilities it can provide law enforcement, with a pricing list for these services. Cryptome also published lawful data-interception guides for Cox Communications, SBC, Cingular, Nextel, GTE and other telecoms and service providers. But of all those companies, it appears to be Yahoo’s lawyers alone who have issued a DMCA takedown notice to Cryptome demanding the document be removed. Yahoo claims that publication of the document is a copyright violation, and gave Cryptome owner John Young a Thursday deadline for removing the document. So far, Young has refused."

I wonder how much of this personal data Yahoo uses internally. I wonder if, for instance, someone from the Flickr team, for instance, can use your IP address to look at other ways that you use other Yahoo services.
- Thomas Hawk
I can't answer that specific question, but Yahoo! is always trying to find better ways to engage users. Typically, however, the IP address really isn't useful, since the vast majority of people are behind a NAT device. Yahoo! uses its ID system to track users and, in some cases, provide a more personalized experience. For example, in News, we had a project recently where we would track...

No one honestly cares about a *specific* user (i.e., we don't need to know if it's Joe from Santa Clara or Sue from Fremont), but simply using the behavior as a guide. For example, if you visit http://news.yahoo.com, there will be a "local news" panel that will do its best to determine your location and show you news from there. In this case, the best information comes from the user ("I'm in Los Gatos") and only secondarily from things like the IP address.
- Glen Mistletoe
Glen, but lets say someone was trolling flickr and Yahoo had their IP address. Could Yahoo staff also run that IP address for Yahoo mail or Yahoo messenger? Are there internal controls put into place at Yahoo that prevent staff from using this data internally. Certain areas like community management come to mind where IP address tracking could be considered useful internally.
- Thomas Hawk
Someone *could* run it but it's unlikely to yield anything useful. It's certainly not anything I've heard mentioned at the individual product level. I'm sure that there are data analysts higher up in the company who will track a single user as they move from product to product to see what paths are the most common and for optimizing navigation. When I was on Yahoo! Tech, we did some...

There are internal restrictions on accessing individual user information (for example, to prevent stalking or identity theft) along with all of the usual Sarbanes-Oxley audit controls that are required for everything. You have to be granted permission to access most of this data anyway, and most of it is not available as raw data, but as aggregate. Honestly, no one really cares about an...

You have to understand what a vast quantity of data is out there. An engineer, for example, can log into a single server (for example, to diagnose a site problem) and see the raw log data. But there are usually dozens (if not hundreds) of servers per property; even if a user hits machine #1 on one request, his/her second request might go to machine #47 or #485 or even onto another property. So data is really only useful in aggregate (except, of course, for legal subpoenas and the like).
- Glen Mistletoe
But could a Yahoo staffer cross reference things like Flickr groups/mail, Yahoo mail, and Yahoo chat based on IP address? I understand that in general someone there would not be interested in the actions of an individual. But if a staffer was interested in the actions of an individual could they pull up this sort of information on a single user and at what level/authorizations. I'm...
