newspaper clip cleaned up some

No immediate access to a decent image editor, but from what I can see there are references to Steve and Old MacDonald in the reversed text.

Here's the best I could do with some online tools:

Heh.
In a previous life, I used to repair Tactical Satellite (TACSAT) communications equipment.

ETA: FWIW: "LEO" means "Low Earth Orbit" (Not that it has any connection with our earlier maths.)

FINALLY!!! Awesome solves you guys.

Okay, so wow. Uhh. All I can say is wtf.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

WTF Steve is dead?? And he's been such for a year, not a day. It's 12/19/2006. And let's figure all this out: 3 1 11 2 36 14 3 -1 2 38 23 49 -15 -1

EDIT:

Okay, so the picture from Steve's obituary for a year ago has some weird (I'm thinking reversed) text and a pi symbol in the background. This is probably relevant. Can anyone flip the image and enhance the background?

And it appears, that something major has happened.

Steven Died on Tuesday.

I guess he didn't do it.

Rogi, we got it.

The username is

and the password is

satellite

That's the first mathematical code i've ever recognized for something!

Whoohoo.

Those are the exact chords. Good call!

It could also be notes, rather than chords - you refer to notes by their octave number on the grand piano. So, an A8 is a VERY high A. The only problem is, i'm not sure how either chords OR notes will translate into an alphanumeric password, unless we can turn it into a song somehow.

Since I have no clue how to play a piano (It's all about the contrabass for me) I think someone should go do something with that..? I really don't know. That code is evil and I don't know what it means. AGH. </rant>

I'm not too up on music tableture. But here's a tab for the song referenced.

It's not in the format this guy mentions on another DMB song, though.

Great miki... make sure you provide me an email address if you want me to add you as a registered user if it ever has to go private to keep unwanted eyes out. I will try to remind everyone. Thanks

That could very well be a chord progression. I'll look up some tabs to see what I can find. And I'm pretty sure there are 8's and 4's in rock chords, just not classical type things. I just looked up some tabs to see if there was such a thing as an E8 chord and there seems to be.
