Heavy Metal harp for sure
By Richard Hunter - October 17, 2010
As people who've been visiting this site regularly know, I've been working on some heavy metal sounds for harp, sometimes using multiple Digitech RP devices running in series and/or parallel. I made a couple of brief recordings that show where the new sounds are going.
Heavy Metal 1 is a multi-pedal patch. The RP355 is running a patch that includes an Octavia distortion model and a low octave double. That sound is processed by an RP255 running nothing but a wide vibrato effect, with the footpedal set to control vibrato speed.
Heavy Metal 2 features a similar patch on the RP355. I'm working the pitch shifter via the expression pedal, moving the doubled tone between two octaves down and an octave down. I don't hear myself doing anything on the RP255–which makes sense, because I can only work one pedal at a time.
I like the way that tongued rhythms wind up sounding like strumming on muted guitar strings with these patches. I like these big distorted tones. I'll be providing these patches to my customers soon. Stay tuned for more radical sounds.

Hello, Richard!
After your promotion I finally decide to try RP series. There was good offer for RP200 and I've bought it.
I have some questions. Do you really can use these heavy metall sounds for live performance? I'm trying to emulate Jason Ricci's tone now and I have a bunch of feedback issues (comparing to my analog pedalboard).
Do 255/355 sounds better or there are the same AD/DA converters?
Thanks, with all respects, Boris.
Richard Hunter on November 14, 2010 at 9:49 am
Hi Boris,
The RP200 is a very different device from the 255/355. The 200's reverbs are not very good, but otherwise it makes some very good sounds.
The 200 requires manual data entry, so is a lot more work to update than the 255/355.
All that said, I've played plenty of gigs with the RP200, and it has a certain roughness to its sound that's very useful for rock and blues. However, I would have recommended the 255 or (especially) the 355.
I sell a set of 40 patches for the RP200–see my site for details. They're good.
Regards, RH
Boris Plotnikov on November 14, 2010 at 10:30 am
It was just a fair price to try device recommended by you.
I think I'll buy your set later, after some experimentation.
I actually want to use my RP for some odd effects which are necessary for 1-2 tunes per gig: whammy, rotary, phaser, envelope, chorus, detune, 4th etc along with my pedalboard filled with Boss Harmonist pitch shifter, MXR Carbon Copy analog delay, LoneWolf HarpAttack distortion, Ibanez DE7 digital delay (you can check my tone at my recent youtube videos with my band http://youtube.com/vinnebagoband)
Anyway I get interested in how to gig with RP200 only, it can be useful sometimes.
I'm sorry, broken link because of round bracket
http://www.youtube.com/vinnebagoband
BTW, I'll be happy if you critic my playing and working with tone.
Richard Hunter on November 15, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Love it, the band has a great sound, the harp is bold and right up front. Like the intro licks, those big delays put a lot of depth in the tone there and throughout. Can't understand the lyrics, but it's lots of fun.
I'm going to make this my vid of the week…

Larsa Pippen Seemingly Retorts Malik Beasley Drama, Son Scotty Jr. Weighs In
The plot thickens? Larsa Pippen seemingly fired back at Malik Beasley's wife, Montana Yao, after the Real Housewives of Miami alum was spotted out with the married NBA player.
Biggest Celebrity Cheating Scandals Ever!
A quote shared by Pippen, 46, on Wednesday, December 2, via Instagram Stories, reads, "Don't always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar."
The reality TV personality was seen holding hands with Beasley, 24, in Miami last month. After the photos went viral on Tuesday, December 1, Yao, 23, slammed her spouse via Instagram Stories.
"Wow … I don't even know this man," the model wrote of her husband of two years. "This is wild y'all I'm seeing it for the first time just like y'all."
'Real Housewives of Miami' Stars: Where Are They Now?
Yao, who shares son Makai with the athlete, added that "the truth always comes out one way or another."
The former Miss Malibu Teen USA continued: "I've always and will forever remain true to who I am and GOD has never let me down. … Appreciate all the love y'all for real."
Pippin, for her part, has been married to Scottie Pippen since 1997. The pair, who share Scotty Jr., 20, Preston, 18, Justin, 15, and Sophia, 12, split for good in 2018 after calling off their 2016 divorce.
The former couple's eldest son, who is hoping to follow in dad Scottie's footsteps in the NBA, reacted to the photos of his mother on Tuesday.
Kardashian-Jenner Family's Biggest Feuds With Friends
"Focused on myself and my goals," the Vanderbilt student tweeted. "I'm not responsible for nobody's actions. All good over here."
Larsa, who has also been linked to rapper Future, previously denied cheating on Scottie during their 20-year marriage.
"With Scottie, a lot of people think he cheated on her and she cheated on him. That never was the case in our relationship," the Bravo alum said on the "Hollywood Raw" podcast on November 9. "Infidelity really wasn't what was the demise of our marriage. It was other things. We just kinda grew apart and fought over things, it was never about another person. It was always about the issues we had."
During the same podcast interview, Larsa denied allegations that she had an affair with Khloé Kardashian's on-again, off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson, claiming that she actually dated the basketball player first. She also accused Kim Kardashian's husband, Kanye West, of ruining her friendship with the famous family.
"If Kanye feels like him and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me. I'm OK with that. … I will survive," she quipped. "I want everyone to be happy!"

Harvard Students in Cheating Scandal Say Collaboration Was Accepted
By Richard Pérez-Peña
Harvard students suspected in a major cheating scandal said on Friday that many of the accusations are based on innocent — or at least tolerated — collaboration among students, and with help from graduate-student teachers who sometimes gave them answers to test questions.
Students said they were tripped up by a course whose tests were confusing, whose grading was inconsistent, and for which the professor and teaching assistants gave contradictory signals about what was expected. They face the possibility of a one-year suspension from Harvard or revocation of their diplomas if they have already graduated, and some said that they will sue the university if any serious punishment is meted out.
In years past, the course, Introduction to Congress, had a reputation as one of the easiest at Harvard College. Some of the 279 students who took it in the spring semester said that the teacher, Matthew B. Platt, an assistant professor of government, told them at the outset that he gave high grades and that neither attending his lectures nor the discussion sessions with graduate teaching fellows was mandatory.
"He said, 'I gave out 120 A's last year, and I'll give out 120 more,' " one accused student said.
But evaluations posted online by students after finals — before the cheating charges were made — in Harvard's Q Guide were filled with seething assessments, and made clear that the class was no longer easy. Many students, who posted anonymously, described Dr. Platt as a great lecturer, but the guide included far more comments like "I felt that many of the exam questions were designed to trick you rather than test your understanding of the material," "the exams are absolutely absurd and don't match the material covered in the lecture at all," "went from being easy last year to just being plain old confusing," and "this was perhaps the worst class I have ever taken."
Harvard University revealed on Wednesday that nearly half of the undergraduates in the spring class were under investigation for suspected cheating, for working together or for plagiarizing on a take-home final exam. Jay Harris, the dean of undergraduate education, called the episode "unprecedented in its scope and magnitude."
The university would not name the class, but it was identified by students facing cheating allegations. They were granted anonymity because they said they feared that open criticism could influence the outcome of their disciplinary cases.
"They're threatening people's futures," said a student who graduated in May. "Having my degree revoked now would mean I lose my job."
The students said they do not doubt that some people in the class did things that were obviously prohibited, like working together in writing test answers. But they said that some of the conduct now being condemned was taken for granted in the course, on previous tests and in previous years.

Dr. Platt and his teaching assistants did not respond to messages requesting comment that were left on Friday. In response to calls to Mr. Harris and Michael D. Smith, the dean and chief academic officer of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the university released a statement saying that the university's administrative board still must meet with each accused student and that it has not reached any conclusions.
"We expect to learn more about the way the course was organized and how work was approached in class and on the take-home final," the statement said. "That is the type of information that the process is designed to bring forward, and we will review all of the facts as they arise."
The class met three times a week, and each student in the class was assigned to one of 10 discussion sections, each of which held weekly sessions with graduate teaching fellows. The course grade was based entirely on four take-home tests, which students had several days to complete and which were graded by the teaching fellows.
Students complained that teaching fellows varied widely in how tough they were in grading, how helpful they were, and which terms and references to sources they expected to see in answers. As a result, they said, students routinely shared notes from Dr. Pratt's lectures, notes from discussion sessions, and reading materials, which they believed was allowed.
"I was just someone who shared notes, and now I'm implicated in this," said a senior who faces a cheating allegation. "Everyone in this class had shared notes. You'd expect similar answers."
Instructions on the final exam said, "students may not discuss the exam with others." Students said that consulting with the fellows on exams was commonplace, that the fellows generally did not turn students away, and that the fellows did not always understand the questions, either.
One student recalled going to a teaching fellow while working on the final exam and finding a crowd of others there, asking about a test question that hinged on an unfamiliar term. The student said the fellow defined the term for them.
An accused sophomore said that in working on exams, "everybody went to the T.F.'s and begged for help. Some of the T.F.'s really laid it out for you, as explicit as you need, so of course the answers were the same."
He said that he also discussed test questions with other students, which he acknowledged was prohibited, but he maintained that the practice was widespread and accepted.
The exam instructions said it was "completely open book, open note, open Internet, etc." Some students asked whether there was a fundamental contradiction between telling students to use online resources, but not to discuss the test with each other.

Q: Shutdown / restart does not complete Sometimes when I try to shut-down or restart, I get an error saying:
A program is still running: Unknown Not Responding
It gives three choices

*

*Lock Screen

*Cancel

*Reboot anyway (or Shutdown Anyway)

What should I look for?
If I could configure it to always assume that I want to shutdown anyway, then that would be great.
Thanks

A: Try running "xlsclients -a" (or "xlsclients -la" for more detail). The output is a little cryptic so you might consider installed a useful utility called wmctrl:
sudo apt-get install wmctrl

You can then run "wmctrl -lv" which will list the graphical apps running. What's nice about wmctrl is that the output includes the title of each graphical app so for example a firefox process might show up as "Ask Ubuntu - Stack Exchange - Mozilla Firefox".
The hex value included in the first column of the wmctrl output is the window ID. This can be used to kill an application using the standard xkill command which will look up the process id corresponding to the window ID and kill it. For example:
  xkill -id 0x024000e9

A: This usually happens when there is an application still running and using the CPU. At the same time you do not close it and you restart or shutdown.
You have to wait for some time and it will close by itself until the process is finished - otherwise it means the application is not responding.
What is the name of the application that repeatedly does this?
Try to cancel it when you get this problem and try to run sudo reboot from terminal and edit your question to include the output - this may help in finding a solution.

A: As others have said, the command line commands sudo reboot and sudo halt, will always reboot or shutdown the computer without asking any questions. Those commands will send all running programs a TERMinate signal and shortly afterwards KILL any process, which did not already quit. This means that you will loose unsaved work (as if all programs crashed.) Therefore, you should only use sudo reboot after closing anything you care about. (Even if you have saved your work, applications are likely to have not yet updated their configuration files.)
The GUI shutdown command works differently by design. I does various checks prior to the actual shutdown:

*

*Is any other user logged in?

*Are any (GUI) applications running? (If yes, tell them to save all data and quit)

Only if the answers to the questions above is No, it will continue like sudo reboot. An application, which is busy (with saving or something else), is never forcibly stopped, unless you confirm to reboot anyway.
In your case, there appears to be a strange application still running. Ubuntu doesn't know its name ('Unknown') and the application does not responded to the "Quit+Save, because the user wants to reboot"-command. This should never happen, and as a safety measure, Ubuntu will not reboot.

Q: Errors binding checkbox to $scope I have a checkbox, like:
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="isPreCheckIn" />

I'm getting isPreCheckin (boolean) from a service which uses $q and either returns from the server or localStorage (if it exists).
The call in the controller looks like:
deviceSettings.canCheckIn().then(function (canCheckIn) {
    $scope.isPreCheckin = !canCheckIn ? true : false;
});

And deviceSettings.canCheckIn looks like:
function canCheckIn() {
    var dfrd = $q.defer();
    LoadSettings().then(function (success) {
        return dfrd.resolve(localStorage.canCheckIn);
    });

    return dfrd.promise;
};

So, on first page load, the checkbox doesn't bind correctly to isPreCheckIn; in fact, if I do a {{isPreCheckIn}}, it doesn't either.  If I switch off of that page and go back, it works.

A: It appears that canCheckIn is outside of angular, based on that assumption, you need to wrap your assignment within $scope.apply:
deviceSettings.canCheckIn().then(function (canCheckIn) {
    $scope.$apply(function(){
        $scope.isPreCheckin = !canCheckIn ? true : false;
    });
});

This tells angular to recognize the changes on your $scope and apply to your UI.

A: I think you should wrap the following in a $apply:
function canCheckIn() {
  var dfrd = $q.defer();
  LoadSettings().then(function (success) {
    scope.$apply(function() {
      dfrd.resolve(localStorage.canCheckIn);
    }
  });
  return dfrd.promise;
};

A: It sounds like a timing issue. You may need to put a resolve clause in your route to give this call time to run and then pass in the result as a DI value. Without knowing which router you are using it is impossible to give you an accurate answer, but you might look at the video on egghead.io regarding routes and resolve.

Kubatko On Orioles: Delmon, Ubaldo, De Aza
By Jeff Todd | November 20, 2014 at 12:10pm CDT
Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com provides an interesting round-up on the latest out of Baltimore. Among the highlights:
Baltimore remains interested in bringing back Delmon Young, but are not willing to meet his demand for two years at present. Given his strong work last year in a bench role, it is not surprising that he would test the interest in a multi-year guarantee. Though Young has never quite lived up to expectations, of course, he is just 29 and put up a .779 OPS last year and actually posted reverse platoon splits in so doing.
The O's have been approached by multiple clubs regarding struggling righty Ubaldo Jimenez. The Braves asked about the possibility of a swap involving B.J. Upton, but Kubatko says that is "not happening."
While there has been some indication that the Orioles would consider non-tendering outfielder Alejandro De Aza, Kubatko says that the team has "every intention" of keeping him in the fold. He could serve as a platoon option in left, notes Kubatko, though of course his projected $5.9MM arbitration earnings will make that a fairly expensive choice.
After announcing a host of minor league signings yesterday, Baltimore has interest in adding infielders Paul Janish and Rey Navarro as well. Kubatko writes that the 24-year-old Navarro, a switch-hitting shortstop, is expected to draw significant interest around the game.

Major eruption of Oct. 24, 2014, observed by the AIA instrument of the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory mission. Earth was added for scale.
New research may have identified a mechanism that limits just how powerful explosions from the sun can become, shedding light on their ability to damage communication satellites and power grids.
Solar flares are explosions of radiation from the surface of the sun that can harm satellites and astronauts in orbit. One type of solar flare, dubbed an eruptive solar flare, is associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), another type of solar explosion that releases torrents of super-hot plasma (clouds of electrically charged particles) into space. These floods of plasma can travel all the way to Earth's surface, triggering dangerous magnetic storms. For example, a solar flare blacked out the entire Canadian province of Quebec in 1989, nearly taking down U.S. power grids from the Eastern Seaboard to the Pacific Northwest. The other class of solar flares, known as confined, is not associated with CMEs.
The result shows the presence of a reinforced multilayer magnetic cage (orange and pink) in which the magnetic rope (blue) develops during the last hours before the eruption.
Prior work found that eruptive solar flares were preceded by gigantic braided arches of plasma rising from the surface of the sun known as magnetic flux ropes. These possess spiraling magnetic field lines, as if a huge bar magnet had been twisted into a corkscrew.
However, it remained uncertain what triggered confined flares. One model suggested these flares were also triggered by magnetic flux ropes. Another model proposed that complex groups of loops of magnetic field lines, also known as solar arcades, gave rise to confined flares.
Until now, researchers could not analyze the magnetic fields at the hot, thin regions of the sun, where confined flares originate, with enough accuracy to decide between these models. Now, based on a new analysis of a powerful confined flare in 2014, scientists suggest that aspects of both models might help explain these explosions.
The joint ESA-NASA Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured this series of four images of a coronal mass ejection (CME) escaping the sun on the morning of April 25, 2013.
The researchers analyzed the growth of a very intense confined solar flare in 2014 using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, which captured a series of high-precision measurements of the magnetic field of the sun's surface around the time of the flare. They ran simulations on supercomputers to reconstruct how solar magnetic fields evolved both before and during the explosion.
The computer models suggested that in the hours before the flare, a magnetic flux rope grew under a powerful solar arcade that acted like a cage. This magnetic flux rope lacked the energy to break past the multiple layers of this magnetic cage.
Modeling of the evolution of the magnetic rope breaking though the cage when it is weaker than the rope.
Once this magnetic flux rope developed a kink and became unstable, a major flare occurred that partially destroyed the magnetic cage. The researchers predicted that a weaker magnetic cage would have led to a more powerful eruption, destroying all the layers of the cage and resulting in a coronal mass ejection.
"A single mechanism may underlie all solar flares," study lead author Tahar Amari, an astrophysicist at the Polytechnic School in Palaiseau, France, told Space.com.
This work could help scientists forecast the maximum amount of energy that a solar flare can release, Amari added.
Amari and his colleagues detailed their findings in the Feb. 8 issue of the journal Nature.


Although the Indian National Security Advisor (NSA), Ajit Doval, will be in Sri Lanka on December 1 and 2 primarily to give the keynote address at a meet on maritime security, public attention will be on the talks he is expected to have with the combined opposition's Presidential candidate Maithripala Sirisena and the latter's principal supporter, former President Chandrika Kumaratunga.
Propped up by the opposition United National Party (UNP), the Sirisena-Kumaratunga duo wants to split incumbent President Mahinda Rajapaksa's Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), capture the Lankan Presidency in the January 8, 2015 election and carry out far reaching constitutional changes to restore democracy.
"Doval will meet Sirisena and Kumaratunga together on Monday. He will be meeting the UNP leaders separately the same evening," a UNP MP told Express on Saturday.
The NSA will meet the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and possibly the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress also. Talks with President Rajapaksa and Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa will take place on Tuesday before he flies to the Maldives.
Doval's meeting with Sirisena and Kumaratunga will be of particular significance because the up-coming Presidential election is posing an unprecedented challenge to President Rajapaksa, the ruling party's candidate. Heading the breakaway faction of the ruling SLFP, Sirisena and Kumaratunga hope to motivate a good chunk of the party's cadre and voters to abandon Rajapaksa and cast their lot with the breakaway faction and the combined opposition.
While Kumaratunga is very familiar to the Indian establishment, having been President of Sri Lanka from 1995 to 2005, Sirisena is a relatively unknown personality. India's chief intelligence operative and security expert would certainly want to know the new kid on the block.
Doval would also want to know from Sirisena and Kumaratunga their views on India-Lanka relations in the context of Rajapaksa's marked lurch towards Beijing in economic and strategic terms, and whether Colombo under Sirisena would be any different.

Marcus Toftedahl defends his thesis "Being Local in a Global Industry - Game Localization from an Indie Game Development Perspective".
The dissertation will be held in Insikten, Portalen, at the University of Skövde and is also live streamed on Zoom.

During recent years a rise of small, independent game developers have become a large part of the global game industry. These indie developers are often distributing their games using digital distribution with a self-publishing business model. While the possibilities to reach a large global audience are expanding with digital distribution, there are also challenges for the developers, where the work tasks previously handled by a publisher now has to be handled by the developers themselves. One such work task directly related to the globalness of the game industry is localization, which is the process of altering a product in such ways it can be used by consumers in a specific target market.
The main objective of the thesis project is to understand how indie game developers are working with game localization as a part of the development process. In this case, "indie" refers to developers with limited resources in terms of financing and manpower, using a self-publishing business model. The research has partly been carried out through participatory field studies in close connection to indie game developers and development clusters in Sweden, China, and India. In addition to this, the technical aspects of game localization have been scrutinized through studies of localization support in commonly used game engines and game development tools.
The results of the thesis show that game localization is an important development task due to the global nature of the game industry, but that its complexity often is underestimated by the developers. To reach a large player base, localization is a must and should be planned for early in the process. Further, the results show that game localization is less resource demanding if using a localization friendly production pipeline, and that the tools to set up such production pipelines are available in all major game engines.

Q: angular2 post bad parameters I'm developping an Angular2 application who communicates with Yandex Translate API.
I've a problem when I send a POST request with http, but it works with jQuery.ajax.
My code:
var url = "https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate";
    var key = "API_KEY";

    var fromTo = this.from + '-' + this.to;

    var data = {
        text: this.typedText,
        key : key,
        lang: fromTo
    };

With jQuery :
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url,
        data: data,
        success: $.proxy(function (data) {
            this.result = data.text;
        }, this),
        error: $.proxy(function () {
            Materialize.toast('One language is not supported by Yandex.', 3000)
        }, this),
    });

And with angular2 http.post:
    this.http.post(url, JSON.stringify(data))
        .map(res => res.text())
        .subscribe(
            data  => this.result = data.text,
            error => this.displayError('One language is not supported by Yandex.')
        );

A screenshot with diff between jQuery and http response :

Thanks for your help
Update 1 : change headers
var headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

    this.http.post(url, JSON.stringify(data), {
            headers :headers
    })
    .map(res => res.text())
    .subscribe(
        data  => this.result = data.text,
        error => this.displayError('One language is not supported by Yandex.')
    );

A: With jQuery you use url encoded data for payload and JSON for Angular2.
You need to create your payload by hand instead of using the stringify method. Something like that:
let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-type ', 'x-www-form-urlencoded');

http.post('http://...', 'key=something&text=value&lang=en',
    { headers: headers });

Hope it helps you,
Thierry

Q: NSPredicate - Dynamic predicate with arguments I am new to NSPredicates, but I know the basics.
This is how my predicate looks now:
[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[c] %@", searchText];

What I want to do, is to be able to create a predicate like this (Pseudo code):
NSPredicate *myPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithBaseString:@"name contains[c] _ARGUMENT_"];

And then use it in, for example a loop (pseudo code):
for(NSString *searchString in self.allStrings)
{
    NSPredicate *myNewPredicate = [myPredicate predicateWithArgument:searchString];
    //Here I do the searchOperations with my new predicate
}

I want to do this so that I can have a few base predicates and then put parameters on them for searching. I do not want to create my predicate again.
Hopefully you understand.
Thank you!

A: Use following
NSPredicate *myPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[c] $ARGUMENT"];

for(NSString *searchString in self.allStrings)
{
    NSPredicate *myNewPredicate = [myPredicate predicateWithSubstitutionVariables:@{@"ARGUMENT" :searchString}];
    //Here I do the searchOperations with my new predicate
}

also I suggest to read this article http://nshipster.com/nspredicate/

A: It seems as if i just found the answer. I can use predicateWithSubstitutionVariables like this:
NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[c] $searchText"];

NSDictionary *sub = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:searchText forKey:@"searchText"];

NSPredicate *filter = [resultPredicate predicateWithSubstitutionVariables:sub];

File Sharing website Megaupload shut down
by Nepalee	 January 20, 2012 377 Views
JAN 20, 2012, McLEAN, Virginia USA – In an attempt to crackdown on copyright and control over internet activities, US Government has shut down popular File sharing site Megaupload from Yesterday.
As Reported by media agencies, One of the world's most popular file-sharing sites was shut down, and its founder and several company officials were accused of facilitating millions of illegal downloads of films, music and other content.
A federal indictment Thursday accused Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to make it easier for authorities to go after sites with pirated material, especially those with overseas headquarters and servers.
The news of the shutdown seemed to bring retaliation from hackers who claimed credit for attacking the Justice Department's website. Federal officials confirmed it was down Thursday evening and that the disruption was being "treated as a malicious act."
A loose affiliation of hackers known as "Anonymous" claimed credit for the attack. Also hacked was the site for the Motion Picture Association of America and perhaps others.
Megaupload is based in Hong Kong, but some of the alleged pirated content was hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Va., which gave federal authorities jurisdiction, the indictment said.
The Justice Department said in a statement said that Kim Dotcom, 37, and three other employees were arrested Thursday in New Zealand at the request of U.S. officials. Three other defendants are at large.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which defends free speech and digital rights online, said in a statement that, "This kind of application of international criminal procedures to Internet policy issues sets a terrifying precedent.
If the United States can seize a Dutch citizen in New Zealand over a copyright claim, what is next?"
Before Megaupload was taken down, it posted a statement saying allegations that it facilitated massive breaches of copyright laws were "grotesquely overblown."
"The fact is that the vast majority of Mega's Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue. We have some good ideas. Please get in touch," the statement said.
Meanwhile, the DOJ said its web server for justice.gov was "experiencing a significant increase in activity, resulting in a degradation in service." It was working to fix it and "investigate the origins of this activity, which is being treated as a malicious act until we can fully identify the root cause of the disruption," the agency's statement said.
A spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America said in an emailed statement that the group's site had been hacked, although it appeared to be working later in the evening.
"The motion picture and television industry has always been a strong supporter of free speech," the spokesman said. "We strongly condemn any attempts to silence any groups or individuals."
Megaupload was unique not only because of its massive size and the volume of downloaded content, but also because it had high-profile support from celebrities, musicians and other content producers who are most often the victims of copyright infringement and piracy. Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others.
The company listed Swizz Beatz, a musician who married Keys in 2010, as its CEO. He was not named in the indictment and declined to comment through a representative.
According to the indictment, Megaupload was estimated at one point to be the 13th most frequently visited website on the Internet. Current estimates by companies that monitor Web traffic place it in the top 100.
The five-count indictment, which alleges copyright infringement as well as conspiracy to commit money laundering and racketeering, described a site designed specifically to reward users who uploaded pirated content for sharing, and turned a blind eye to requests from copyright holders to remove copyright-protected files.
For instance, users received cash bonuses if they uploaded content popular enough to generate massive numbers of downloads, according to the indictment. Such content was almost always copyright protected.
The site boasted 150 million registered users and about 50 million hits daily. The Justice Department said it was illegal for anyone to download pirated content, but their investigation focused on the leaders of the company, not end users who may have downloaded a few movies for personal viewing.
A lawyer who represented the company in a lawsuit last year declined comment Thursday. Efforts to reach an attorney representing Dotcom were unsuccessful.
Megaupload is considered a "cyberlocker," in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses. But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.
The website allowed users to download some content for free, but made money by charging subscriptions to people who wanted access to faster download speeds or extra content. The website also sold advertising.
The indictment was returned in the Eastern District of Virginia, which claimed jurisdiction in part because some of the alleged pirated materials were hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Va. Prosecutors there have pursued multiple piracy investigations.
Steven T. Shelton, a copyright lawyer at the Cozen O'Connor firm in New York, said opponents of the legislation are worried the proposals lessen the burden for the government to target a wide variety of websites. Shelton said he expects to see the government engage in more enforcement in the future, as technology makes it easier to catch and target suspected pirates.
"I think we'll be seeing more of this," he said. "This is just the beginning."
Dotcom, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany, made more than $42 million from the site in 2010 alone, according to the indictment.
Dotcom had his name legally changed. He was previously known as Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor. He is founder, former CEO and current chief innovation officer of Megaupload.
Officials estimated it could be a year or more before Dotcom and the others arrested in New Zealand are formally extradited.
The others arrested were Finn Batato, 38, a citizen and resident of Germany, the company's chief marketing officer; Mathias Ortmann, 40, a citizen of Germany and resident of both Germany and Hong Kong, who is the chief technical officer, co-founder and director; and Bram van der Kolk, aka Bramos, 29, a Dutch citizen and resident of both the Netherlands and New Zealand, who oversees programming.
Still at large are Julius Bencko, 35, a citizen and resident of Slovakia, the site's graphic designer; Sven Echternach, 39, a citizen and resident of Germany, head of business development; and Andrus Nomm, 32, a citizen of Estonia and resident of both Turkey and Estonia, head of the development software division.
Several sister sites were also shut down, including one dedicated to sharing pornography files.

Health-conscious consumers might be persuaded to eat more beef if it was fortified with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids naturally found in salmon and walnuts, according to researchers and some ranchers who are feeding cattle flaxseed — even marine algae — with an eye to offering another wholesome dinner choice.
After putting a pot roast into her shopping basket at a Wichita grocery store, 31-year-old Lindsey Goodwin considered that very question. "Probably, it kind of depends on the price," she said.
But Terry Cooper, 36, was skeptical, adding that the university might have an "uphill battle" persuading people to eat more beef. "The reality is we all eat more junk food ... but we think we should eat healthy," Cooper said.
Algae contains the omega-3 type fatty acids known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which nutrition experts say people should consume at least 250 mg per day of both because of their protective effects on the heart; DHA is also associated with infant brain development. A third omega-3 type is alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which is abundant in flaxseed.
Ground beef from cattle that eat grass, a natural source of omega-3s, contains about 20 to 30 mg in a 5-ounce serving. That increases to at least 200 mg per 5-ounce serving when cattle are fed algae or flaxseed rations, Kansas State researcher Jim Drouillard said.
Other omega-3 fortified foods are commercially available — such as eggs, bacon and chicken. Yet salmon is king, providing 10 times the amount of omega-3s than enriched beef products — at least 2,000 mg in a 5-ounce serving.
Cost comes into play when making omega-3 fortified beef more widely available. Researchers are examining whether algae is an economically feasible feed, given that commercial sources are scarce. Beef produced from cattle that eat algae contains more of the EPA and DHA fatty acids than cattle fed only flaxseed, Drouillard said.
All told, it may not raise consumer prices more than 15 to 20 cents a pound extra according to Bernie Hansen, founder of GreatO Premium Foods. He said the added costs of fattening livestock on flaxseed-based rations would be mostly offset by the lower costs of raising animals which are healthier and need fewer antibiotics.
The Manhattan, Kansas-based company, which for 14 years has researched how to produce omega-3 enhanced beef using flaxseed at an economically viable price, is test-marketing its fortified ground beef in 50 HEB supermarkets in Texas. When the trial began almost seven months ago, HEB was ordering about 100 cases every two weeks, each containing a dozen 1-pound packages of the omega-3 enriched beef. The response from shoppers was so good that within six months HEB increased its order to 400 cases, Hansen said.
GreatO also sells its flaxseed-fattened beef to Timber Ridge Cattle, an Iowa company that makes beef sticks and supplies omega-3 enriched steaks to some restaurants, including HoQ Restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa.
Restaurant owner Suman Hoque says the omega-3 steaks have more marbling and are more tender and flavorful than leaner grass-fed beef. His patrons noticed, and have been coming back for it, said Hoque, who is selling about 200 steaks a week and buying about 1½ times more enriched beef this year than he did a year ago of just grass-fed beef.
"People love these. ... I sell more meat than anything else," Hoque said.
Sara Schwertfeger, a 31-year-old stay-at-home mom from Urbandale, Iowa, and a dietitian by training, knows the benefits of omega-3s, and purchases enriched eggs, salmon, walnuts, grass-fed beef and the beef sticks. But she doesn't know whether she would buy omega-3 enriched beef if it came from cattle fattened in a feedlot.
"It probably comes down to not only the nutrition," she said, "but if you also want to care about how they are raised."
The idea behind omega-3 fortified beef products isn't to tell people what they should or shouldn't eat, Hansen said, but to make what they're already eating healthier.
"Your mother would say, 'You are what you eat,'" Hansen said. "Well, we say, 'We are what they ate.'"

As a diocese and body of Christ, our calling is to respond to the innumerable spiritual, physical and social needs within our parishes and throughout our greater community, and I give thanks to God for our church leaders, staff, lay leaders and volunteers who live the gospel daily in reaching out to the grieving, sick, disabled and marginalized.
The demands for providing these ministries and services are great and ever increasing, and Legacy Gifts help to ensure that our ministries thrive today, and continue into the future. Through your Will, you are making a profound and lasting commitment to stewardship and to your faith community, and you become part of the healing, transformation and hope that our diocese is bringing to Singapore, our deanery countries and beyond. You are also helping to ensure that our diocese remains relevant for future generations.
All Legacy Gifts make a difference, no matter the size or type. They can come in the form of property, sums of money, or proceeds from sale of stocks and shares. They can be directed to the Diocese of Singapore, or to a speci c parish or deanery, for a speci c purpose. A biblical basis for legacy giving is included here to inform and inspire you.
These words form part of the offertory sentence in our Holy Communion service. It expresses the basis for Christian giving and stewardship: that all we have are gifts from God and ultimately belong Him.
This verse was part of the prayer that David prayed as he gathered resources for the building of the temple recorded in 1 Chronicles 29:10-19. It was David's dream to be able to build a temple for God. However, God told him that it would be his son, Solomon, who would be given that task. Despite this, David still wanted to contribute to this great project by providing the materials that would be needed. The list of materials that he gave was impressive (1 Chronicles 29:2-4), but he went on to challenge the people to also make freewill offerings to add to the construction of the temple. The people did this whole-heartedly.
This mighty offering resulted in great rejoicing and it led to this prayer. David starts out by praising God and acknowledging that God is the ultimately owner of "everything in heaven and earth" (1 Chronicles 29:11). As such, he declares that even what he gives is in fact rightfully God's. His giving is not a merit-earning endeavour, but an act of gratitude and a returning of the resources in his care to its rightful owner.
David goes on to say that we are "sojourners", and therefore transient (1 Chronicles 29:15-16). Everything we have is held in trust for the Lord. We are stewards (or managers) of our wealth, and not owners.
In Luke's gospel, Jesus frames his teaching on wealth in the light of the end, and our responsibility to be good stewards (Luke 12:35-48). His instruction that "to whom much is given...much is required" (Luke 12:48) is a reminder that we should give careful consideration to what we should do with the wealth the Lord has allowed each of us to gain throughout our lives on earth.
It is thus tting and right for each of us to consider how we can plough back the resources God has graciously given us responsibility over during our brief and temporal lifetime. To this end, we humbly ask you to prayerfully consider leaving a bequest to the Diocese for the ongoing work of God and the Gospel of Christ.
