    Compared to the most known picture of it, this one is really more impressive!

    I'd be interested in background and a source for that statement. (So I can go read more about it.)

    Based on size, scope, and what is usually shown of that photograph? It's a reasonable assessment.

    Nolan introduces an interesting idea, which I'd like sourced.

    The smaller photograph was taken by Jeff Widener from the sixth floor of the Beijing hotel. The larger image was taken by Stuart Franklin on the fifth floor of the same hotel, interestingly smuggled out of the country in a box of tea. There was another photographer, Charlie Cole, that was on the same balcony as Stuart, they took similar photographs of the incident.

    So the larger image is still its own photograph, whereas the smaller one is also its own photograph. No cropping involved in either.

    Spigot is mod of Bukkit, that has a lot of new features, including a Real hard-coded Anti-Lag feature (I know this mod from sk89q, his post about "what goes on in a MC server"), and also a version protocol support (it means that, even if you can't use blocks from MC1.5, because as real you're in 1.4.7, you can still use the client MC 1.5. So your server appears up-to-date and no one complains about it).

    Jenkins is a program that you host as a website, that permits you to synchronize your builds from maven with it.
    Maven is another program used for developers that share their source codes. It centralizes dependencies to compile the program and the program sources itself.

    So at the end, the Spigot's Jenkins, is the website where you can see the latest build of this mod of Bukkit, and if it is crashing or not. And in the Spigot's Jenkins, I found sk98q's launcher...

    Still can't figure out why :p

    But a project from Maven can be added on Jenkins freely, so it doesn't mean sk89q works here, with the Spigot's team, it just means that the Spigot team had a special interest with the sk89q's launcher.
