Nakamura.jpg 中村教授が激怒した会見では何度も「日本の司法制度は腐っています!」といったにも関わらず、テレビでは盛り上がって取上げられているのは6億円の対価は安いか高いかです。

日本の司法制度は腐っているのか、なぜ腐っているのか、そういう話題で分析してほしい。

しかしいずれにしても何百億も、何千億も会社が儲かったのみ2万円のご褒美しかないというのは怒っても仕方ない。私だって(大手で勤めたとき)共同発明に3万円をもらった。

Closing DVD tray remotely

I left iMac processing my iDVD project (it took hours..), then I checked from time to time using VNC (I installed OSXvnc on the iMac). But when all encoding finished, the iMac opened the tray asking for DVD disc to be written to. I already inserted the disc before I left, but I could not physically close the tray now. Here is the way to do it remotely:

Log in to the iMac using SSH (remember the user must have password for SSH login to be successful), then do this command:

drutil tray close

Do this several times to make sure it is closed.
