Image uploads to a Friendfeed post are missing a proper content-header, so when you click the image to see the original size the browser downloads it instead of displaying it in a new tab. Is something up with the FF API that corresponds to its Amazon S3 upload module?

I was about to ask if you had an example of an image directly uploaded to Friendfeed. Then I thought about it. - Jimminy
I'm not sure what the bug is conditional upon, yet, but I've only ever observed this problem in the last few days. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Thank you! - Meg V. Meg
Ben Golub, you're our only hope. - Micah
I was about to inquire about this, glad I'm not the only one with this problem. - Colette
Help us Obi Ben Golubi. - Laura Norvig from iPhone
I thought nobody is touching the code any more. The content type could not have been changed by its own. - ؛ Dr. Gharazi
This is an intentional change. - Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben. What is the reason behind the change? - Headless Gnad Kicker
It seems broken -- can no longer click on the picture in my FFHound posts to enlarge the image, it just downloads the image instead. (See http://friendfeed.com/zeigen... and click the image.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Ben, thank you for the quick response. Was the change to cut down on hot-linking? - Micah
It's actually a site security improvement to keep us all safe :) - Benjamin Golub
Ahhh, ixnay ethay executables way. *nodding* - Micah
Heh, and I was thinking about posting a regression bug to Opera. Thank you. - Michael W. May
Well, I threw caution to the wind, so here's a browser extension I wrote to view a full size image in a new tab: http://friendfeed.com/fftools... - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
@glenc, Ben is from FF. Read his comments. - ؛ Dr. Gharazi
While I understand that this is an "intentional change" to "keep us all safe", is there a reference for exactly the problem this is meant to solve is? I'm sure I can make an educated guess, but I'd rather understand it more fully. - Andy Bakun
Still broken... - Mitchell Tsai
No one has a reference for exactly the problem this change was meant to solve, for our safety? - Andy Bakun
It really sounds like "It's not a bug, it's a feature" :) - Yusuf Arslan
And I can accept that, if I knew what the feature actually was. - Andy Bakun
Security features. - Jimminy
thanks for explaining this odd behaviour. maybe you should report to..facebook staff - marco barsotti
Marco, Benjamin Golub is the FB Staff that is care taking the FF website. - Me
One solution is to use Opera to browse friendfeed (it leaves you the choice to open the file anyway). And that fits well, a dying social network on a dying browser. - StM
Any clue as to what I can search for to find out what the exact attack we're being protected from is? - Andy Bakun
Andy, and for all we know the attacks could have been observed against Facebook's interface and Ben et al saw that Friendfeed simply had the same vulnerability. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
The care taking of this site by Ben is well appreciated for those who still love this service. - Eric - Too Hot
I remember a while ago someone posted an animated gif which was apparently coming from an external host and my (and some other people's) anti virus system started showing that as a treat. The worse part is that, there are many Iranian activists here and for the Ciber Army of Islamic Republic this was the easiest way to find their IP's. We have chosen FF because it's the most free and secure environment in the net. FF didn't do anything about the spammers, at least this was a good move. - ؛ Dr. Gharazi
Looks like some old images don't need a download any more. - ؛ Dr. Gharazi
What's interesting is it's only for new posts media. All the old posts, prior to the update, still work fine. - Jimminy
I'm about 95% positive it was due to issues related to this. http://ff.im/1fCf33 - Jimminy
Jimminy, your profile is private, so I can't see your point. - samet
it's like that since many months. For some reason, if you browse from the iPad pictures gets displayed properly. - marco barsotti

You know what doesn't happen very often any more? People stopping you to ask for directions. But just now I was asked for the second time in two days.

Oops! lol Thanks, Stephen :) - Brent Schaus
Hey, at least he started going in the right direction after talking to me! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I get asked for directions a lot, but usually in places I don't live. The last time were in San Diego and San Francisco, I was asked for directions. Luckily, I knew where the places were without going to my phone. - Anika

"Los Angeles-based student, Madeline Sharafian has created a delightful short film for her second-year film as part of her studies at CalArts. The beautiful film is about a clever and loving dog who takes care of his depressed and exhausted owner by making sure he eats well. The dog also helps him avoid kitchen accidents such as cutting his finger or leaving the fire turned on for too long. According to Sharafian, "I wanted to make something that focuses on how meaningful it is to make food for someone you love. My family's lives practically revolve around cooking for each other, so it's a theme that I'm deeply attached to. I hope you enjoy it!"" - Brent Schaus from Bookmarklet

British scientists say they have developed a new type of wheat which could increase productivity by 30%. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news...
British scientists say they have developed a new type of wheat which could increase productivity by 30%.
Around 10,000 years ago wheat evolved from goat grass and other primitive grains. The scientists used cross-pollination and seed embryo transfer technology to transfer some of the resilience of the ancient ancestor of wheat into modern British varieties. The process required no genetic modification of the crops. - Halil from Bookmarklet
thoughts... - Halil
At least wheat goes to humans and isn't used to geed animals and useless power initiatives. They said it's not a GMO. A concern would be the licensing model. - Todd Hoff
Hmm. They transferred genes from a different species, yet they claim it's not genetic modification? This seems like the same kind of semantic obfuscation marketers use to sell "natural" or "organic" products. - Victor Ganata from iPhone
I'm not sure, victor. Cross pollination has been hot since Mendel played with his peas. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Pollination is most definitely the transfer of genetic material, though. - Victor Ganata from iPhone
Absolutely, but they were related species of wheat and presumably close enough for it to work. It's not like they inserted frog DNA. I do wonder about the gluten profile of the new strain, given all the hype about that, and the carb value. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA from iPhone
I guess what I'm trying to get at is: if they simply sucked out the DNA out of an embryonic cell, spliced in the relevant sequences that provide resilience (without involving frog DNA), then reinjected the DNA back into the cell, is this really necessarily worse or even different than synthetic breeding + seed embryo transfer? I'm fairly certain it would be perceived as such, but why? - Victor Ganata
Cross pollination is one thing, (seed) embryonic transference of genetic material is essentially GM, as Victor says, it's semantics and they are trying to come across as a non-GM food. If there was no genuine GM or any kind of fiddling, why even mention that it's not GM in the first place as it should be clear from the experimental methods used! Also, they say the tests need to be... more... - Halil

Report on the conservation status and threats for wolf (Canis lupus) in Europe
 
The wolf is the most controversial predator in Europe, as it occupies conflicting places in people’s imaginations, being simultaneously loved and hated. On one hand it is held up as symbol of wilderness and the return of nature, while for others wolves symbolise waste, destruction and negative changes. As a result wolf conservation is almost always controversial.
 
Historically wolves have been heavily persecuted in Europe for millennia, and were exterminated from most of northern and western Europe in the last two centuries, probably reaching their minimum in the 1940’s to 1960’s. Since then, many populations have begun to recover and expand their range, for example in Spain and Italy. Furthermore, in the last twenty years, the species has been recovering naturally and reappearing in areas from which they had become extinct, for example in France, northern Italy, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany and Switzerland. In 2005 a wolf was even sighted in Austria (Styria region). However, the present distribution of wolves in Europe is extremely uneven and densities vary greatly from country to country. This recovery has revealed their extreme ecological adaptability, enabling them to survive in extremely diverse environments.
 
Wolves can basically survive anywhere they can find a source of food, and this can be of various forms, from wild animals, to livestock, to garbage. The only limiting factor seems to be human persecution. As a result the conservation of wolves is less of an ecological issue and more a social issue, strictly linked to the diverse cultural and socio-economic conditions of the areas they inhabit. This makes international legislation extremely hard to be enforced in highly diverse European countries. This is a particularly sensitive issue when it comes to the conservation and management of wolf populations that are transboundary in nature, occupying territories belonging to different countries, and thus requiring international collaboration. The situation is made even more difficult by the lack of scientifically sound population status data standardised across different countries. This report is an attempt to provide an updated snapshot of the current conservation status of the wolf in the European countries where (1) its presence has been recorded and (2) that have ratified the Bern Convention.

Lateral Line
 
The lateral line is a system of sense organs found in many fish, and is visible as horizontal line running across its body. The line senses mechanical changes in the surrounding water, such as changing water pressures. In some species, electrical impulses can also be detected.
 
The lateral line plays an important role in schooling behaviour, predation and orientation. For example, a predatory fish may use it to sense water vortices created by fleeing prey. Conversely, the changing water pressures from approaching predator can warn a prey fish.
 
In an experiment, individuals of a group of Pollachius virens (pictured) were removed and subjected to different procedures, and their ability to rejoin the school observed. Those that were blinded were able to rejoin to reintegrate into the school, whereas those which had their lateral lines severed were unable to do so.
