Where did this art come from? It seems like the cover to a tabletop wargame about the french and indian war or something.

In 2000, American painter Robert Griffing created a painting titled, Friend or Foe, wherein, two Native American hunters are examining footprints made in the snow.

Super cool, I realized I was thinking of the wargame A Few Acres Of Snow by martin wallace (the designer of the modern classics, Brass Birmingham and Brass Lancashire)

Blue Harvest for Mac will continually clean your removable drives of these files.

This seems like a bit of a scam:
On your external drives you can prevent the creation of .DS_Store

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores -bool true

If you really want to continuously delete DS_Store from both your internal and external hard drives you can set up a cronjob:

15 1 * * * root find / -name '.DS_Store' -type f -delete

When I had a Mac, literally the first thing I did was set up a Hazel rule to delete every single .DS_Store in every folder.
