Beavers would totally love Minecraft. You know, if they could use a keyboard and visualise 3-d rendering on a 2-d screen. >> ^krazyety:

Hmm a new project for me in Minecraft! Thanks for posting

Those of you that aren't in the know, here is a breakdown of what's happened since they began releasing these documents:(provided by The Guardian)

Sunday 28 November

• TECH: DDoS attack hits WikiLeaks as first set of US diplomatic cables is published.

Wednesday 1 December

• TECH: Tableau Software, which offers free software for data visualisation, removes the public views of graphics built using information about the diplomatic cables. It is the first company to distance itself from Wikileaks, and admits that the reason was pressure from Senator Joe Lieberman, an independent senator with ties to the Democratic party.

• POLITICS: Lieberman, chairman of the Senate's committee on homeland security, calls for Wikileaks to be taken offline. "I call on any other company or organization that is hosting Wikileaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them. Wikileaks' illegal, outrageous, and reckless acts have compromised our national security and put lives at risk around the world. No responsible company - whether American or foreign - should assist Wikileaks in its efforts to disseminate these stolen materials."

• TECH Amazon removes Wikileaks's content from its EC2 cloud service, but later insists it did so because the content could cause harm to people and did not belong to Wikileaks – and that it was not due to political pressure or the hacker attacks against the site.

Friday 3 December

• TECH: Wikileaks.org ceases to work for web users after everyDNS.com(*edit* not easyDNS), which had provided a free routing service translating the human-readable address into a machine-readable form, ends support.

Wikileaks shifts to a backup domain registered in Switzerland but actually hosted in Sweden, at Wikileaks.ch, though the cables are hosted in part by OVH, an internet provider in the north of France.

EveryDNS claims that the DDOS attacks against Wikileaks were disrupting its service provided to thousands of other customers. (*edit* there was a mixup, and everyDNS, not easyDNS was resonsible. EasyDNS has posted that it's "The Company That Did NOT Take Down Wikileaks" beside a cartoon character showing a thumbs up.

• POLITICS: French industry minister Eric Besson writes to internet companies warning them there will be "consequences" for any companies or organisations helping to keep WikiLeaks online in the country.

Saturday 4 December

• MONEY: PayPal, owned by US auction site eBay, permanently restricts account used by WikiLeaks due to a "violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy". A spokesman said the account was suspended because "[it] cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity."
You can still donate at Commerzbank Kassel in Germnany or Landsbanki in Iceland or by post to a post office box at the University of Melbourne or at http://wikileaks.ch/support.html

• TECH: Switch, the Swiss registrar for Wikileaks.ch declines pressure from US and French authorities to remove the site or block access to it.

Sunday 5 December

• TECH: The Pirate Party in Sweden says that it has taken over the hosting of the Cablegate directory of Wikileaks after the server in France at OVH, which had been hosting the contents of the US diplomatic cables released so far, goes offline.

Monday 6 December

• MONEY: Credit card company Mastercard withdraws ability to make donations to Wikileaks. "MasterCard is taking action to ensure that WikiLeaks can no longer accept MasterCard-branded products," the credit card outfit says.

• TECH: Wikileaks' servers in Sweden attacked by distributed denial of service attack.

• MONEY: Postfinance, the Swiss postal system, strips WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of a key fundraising tool, accusing him of lying and immediately shutting down one of his bank accounts. The bank says that Assange had "provided false information regarding his place of residence during the account opening process."
Assange had told Postfinance he lived in Geneva but could offer no proof that he was a Swiss resident, a requirement of opening such an account. Postfinance spokesman Alex Josty told The Associated Press the account was closed Monday afternoon and there would be "no criminal consequences" for misleading authorities. "That's his money, he will get his money back," Josty said. "We just close the account and that's it."

Tuesday 7 December

• MONEY: Credit card company Visa withdraws ability to make donations or payments to Wikileaks. "Visa Europe has taken action to suspend Visa payment acceptance on WikiLeaks' website pending further investigation into the nature of its business and whether it contravenes Visa operating rules," said a spokesman.

nice peano playing , The visualisation could have been allot nicer/less bland though or convey more information more clearly. but hay whatever

I'm pretty sure that he did get help. I remember hearing that he had his own group of helpers to set up the exhibition. I imagine that he was an ideas / visualisation man on a lot of these pieces of art.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Banksy's "Exit Through The Gift Shop" (at UK cinemas from March 5th).

>> ^Enzoblue:
I guess you have to ask yourself why this got censored. I mean really. Why do people find this more offensive than all the other stuff?

Redneck homophobia...

Ask that instead of banging your head against the wall like this guy. What is it about two men kissing in the context of high-end sexual perversion that repulses, when two women doing the same would cause the ratings would go up?


High end sexual perversion? Oh, you mean because two guys would end up anal fucking? You should really get out more, that's not high end sexual perversion my friend... 2 girls 1 cup ring any bells?


His incredulity is high because his logic fails. He's not accounting for all the factors, there's more to it than just a redneck hatred for gays.


So basically your entire 'debunk' is people object because the logical result of 2 guys kissing = teh buttsecks?

It says a lot about those people, they see two guys together and instantly visualise them banging away like a broken barnyard door. Might be because that's what they secretly want to see though... Bit of peaking out of the closet action? *grin*

Apparently this was a student project for a BA in Computer Visualisation and Animation. Incredible work.

*promote.

Thanks for the promote!

It's made as if there's a great science behind it, but in the end it basically looks like every single winamp visualisation...

I always think I understand big numbers, I certainly make the effort to try, but this visualisation really impressed me. Nicely done.

My understanding going into this video and before reading the comments:

Everything (simplifying) radiates energy, which we visualise as a wave, and we label emitted energy as the electromagnetic spectrum.

Radio waves are just part of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in the same way as light is. They just have a certain frequency (or wavelength). For different ranges of frequencies of the EMS, you get different types of rays as we know it. Gamma rays, x-rays, UV rays, visible light, infrared, microwave, and finally radio waves. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and radio waves have the longest wavelength. They are all the exact same thing.

The longer the wavelength, the less energy the wave has and thus shorter wavelength = higher energy.

So for example, the sun. The sun is extremely hot and so emits a LOT of energy and so produces very high energy emissions including (amongst other things) light waves, which we can see with our eyes.

Saturn however is very cold and so the energy it emits is very low, meaning that it emits low frequency waves. The lowest frequency waves are what we refer to as radio waves.

So feed those radio waves into your average radio. The radio uses various algorithms and stuff to decode the signal that it recieves (a radio wave) into sound (another type of wave, unrelated and dissimilar), that we detect with our ears. The algorithms will do what they do and we get what you hear here.

That's what i think, anyway. Dunno HOW the waves are produced, but the previous comment seems a reasonable source. I'll ask my dad tomorrow and let you know.

no. iz rite. i no how 2 spel gud.

"A Dangerous Way To Remove One's Show" or Shoe?
I've tried reading it the former way and really can't quite get the context in which it makes sense to place show in there.
I've just spent 7 hours squinting at that sentence and visualising myself in that situation. I've got through a whole jar of coffee doing so and I'm finding it difficult to type. I'll feel stupid if it's just because of a typo. Especially as the coffee money was the last part of my money and supposed to be for paying for my tea bags.
Also when I finally came to the realisation that it might be a typo I went through every letter of the alphabet before finally getting to 'e' and the penny dropped. I mean actually it's ridiculous I tried all the letters, but get this:
What the fuck is a 'shop'?

Oppression and resistance, governance and disobedience, can be visualised as one single system and process. This appears to me to be throughout all of nature and physics. As above, so below, all the way down to the very last fundamental godhead of every single thing we measure and experience.

When you think about the question with this in mind, you start to see both government and resistance to government being equally as important to the whole system. This is how the whole thing moves forward.

Every now and again it shifts, reverses poles.

So my response to the extremely thought-provoking question in this clip, would seem to be this...

There never *can* be any artificially created constraint or set of limits as to how far resistance to government will go. It will go as far as it needs to and no farther, in order to remiss a growing influence from its opposite. The primary driving influence is *always* the greater good of the whole.

I strongly feel that Terence McKenna shared this view.

I hope you're wrong, Irishman, but I can visualise it.

Hammer of wank got me just as I was visualising cracking myself in the eye with a hammer. I feel dirty.
