Frying fish isn't that difficult to do, but it's also easy to screw up if you're not paying attention, so the folks at America's Test Kitchen have a few simple tips to help you get perfectly cooked, perfectly browned fish in no time. The trick? Start with a little sugar.
The video above actually shows you the results, and we'll reiterate what they say: don't worry, you won't taste the sugar at all. Sprinkle just a little sugar on one side of the fish—that's the side you'll sear first. Sear it on one side, and turn it over, and then toss the whole pan, fish and all, into a 425 degree oven so the other side gets some color and the fish cooks evenly. I like to call this the "sear and blast" method, and use a similar technique (sans sugar, of course) for steaks and chops.
If you're curious about why this works, the sucrose in the sugar will break down into fructose on the surface of the fish at about 200 degrees Fahrenheit. That's much lower than the traditional temperature required for the Maillard reaction (approx 309 °F), or that reaction that makes seared everything so delicious. The sugar gives you the color and the flavor at lower temperatures. Plus, this way you don't have to fry your fish forever or smoke out your kitchen with that fishy smell no one loves.

The short answer to that, for me, is not well…at first.
In fact, ‘not well’ is a gross understatement. Depending on the particulars of the setback, on one end of the spectrum, I may get angry and loud or on the other end, I may get positively hysterical, screaming and crying and pounding my fist on the closest hard surface, be it a table or someone’s noggin.
The latter was a recent reaction to losing an entire manuscript just as I was about to begin editing. Doesn’t matter how it happened, but my reaction was over the top, just a little. (I pounded my desk and not Hubby’s head, by the way.)
Naturally, all I could think about was how much time, blood, sweat and tears went into that story. How would I ever retrieve the whole of it from my less than stellar memory? Did I even have any more blood, sweat and tears to shed? And time? Well, I had beta readers and a pro editor waiting on me. The rest of the day is a blur of padding around the house with my head down, staring into space, while alternately indulging in fits of sobbing.
My mood had brightened by the time I woke the next morning. Oh I was still reeling from the shock of it all, but I could see clearly now what I had to do.
There was only one thing I could allow myself to do…begin again.
On the path to your own dreams and goals, all sorts of obstacles can block the path. The small stones that can litter the path are easy to kick out of your way. Then, there is the monstrous boulder. When it falls onto your path, you need some help moving an obstacle of that size.
In my case, I had my Hubs, kids and a few friends telling me “Things happen for a reason” and “The book will be better than before”.
Yes, it might be better. Or, it might not.
And that’s the rub.
Whatever you choose to believe is what you can expect to happen.
A covey of dark angels swoop down on you and ask questions like:
“Are you sure you want to do this all over again?”
“Wouldn’t you rather sit back, binge on chocolate and read all day?”
“You don’t really think a second book can possibly be better than your first masterpiece, do you?”
“Hahahaha! Sucker! This was meant to be. Don’t waste your time rewriting!”
Yes, my dark angels really did say all those things. But not immediately.
At first, I was pumped up to write my “better” story. I knew I could accomplish it in a matter of a few weeks, too! My fingers flew over the keys…the first 3 days!
They waited for my weakest moment. The moment my burst of excitement, drive and confidence wore thin. I was easy prey.
The most evil dark angel appeared with all of his needling and prodding to get me to quit. I could have listened. I was certainly tempted. I even took time to think it through.
“Should I drop this book? Maybe losing it was a sign that I shouldn’t be writing it.”
An image of myself ‘walking down the street, shoulders hunched forward, tattered clothes, messy hair, carrying a bottle of gin’ flashed in front of my mind’s eye…that would be me as a quitter.
I’M NO QUITTER!
So I got right back to writing my story. My fingers aren’t flying as fast and I’ll need to replot the majority of the book but, it’s a fabulous feeling.
When you have a setback – when a big ol’boulder jumps in your way – take another path or find a way to scoot around that boulder and continue on your way to reach your goals.
Whatever you do, don’t listen to those dark angels partying on your shoulder.
DON’T QUIT. READJUST, INSTEAD.
You may have reacted differently that I in a similar situation.
Care to share your reaction to a setback in goals or plans?

Bike Passion on the Silver Screen: Taking in the NEMBA Mountain Bike Film Festival
The dim heart of the Regency Theater swirls with energy as over one hundred mountain bikers greet each other in anticipation. The food and beer lines stretch along the back wall. Mountain bikers oogle raffle prizes including day-passes from Highland Mountain Bike Park, bike care-kits from Pedros, Two Fox suspension forks, CrossMax wheel-sets from Mavic and Back Bay Bicycles, and the Grand Prize, a Kona Tanuki mountain bike.
This is the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA) Mountain Bike Film Festival and the anticipation isn’t just for the Red Bones BBQ or the beer donated by Harpoon Brewery–or even the prizes–it’s for the films. While screenings of big name films happen all over the country, this is one of the few that celebrate the making of mountain bike films at the amateur level. These are videos made by mountain bikers about their own rides and adventures.
Soon, the lights go dark and the films begin to tick off one by one. They are all short (rules require under 5 minutes, but most are under 3.) They all have limited production quality. They each shake, wobble and tilt in vertiginous ways. But what these films lack in production, they more than make up for in passion. As I watch beginner XC riders skitter through singletrack turns and freeriders send-it off dirt kickers, I realize that picking one to be the “People’s Choice” was going to be a contentious event.
Mike Feeney produced a couple of hard-charging freeride videos that not only included hucking decent-sized jumps and ripping scary ladder bridges at Highland MBP, but also rednecks jumping ATVs and starting a snowmobile on fire. “Badassalon 2008″ and “I Didn’t Pump My Tire” head up the humorous entries with pellet rifles and a remake of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Marsha MacEachern’s “A Biker’s Playground” is a surprisingly emotional romp through the woods (and a lake.)
I am surprised to see an animated feature, but Bryan McFarland put one together with some chill music. There is also an iPhone entry that has some of the best composed visuals in the festival. Two high school kids put together a strong contender for the People’s Choice award filming their mountain biking class riding homemade stunts. It is “One Speed Jasper” that barely edges out the other films for People’s Choice, however. This film used the GoPro HD camera famous for helmet-cam shots in so many adventure movies. Of course, the camera ended up attached to the usual places on the bike: helmet, rider’s chest and seatpost. What really made this film shine was that the subject wasn’t just the ride, but also the faithful mountain bike companion: the “trail dog.” In the true GoPro fashion of showing things from “your point of view,” the camera was attached to Jasper the Dog for a trail-dog’s-eye-view of a run through the woods chasing a bike.
THIS is what makes amateur film shine. The footage shook like “Blair Witch Project” but it focused on a valuable part of mountain biking that often gets overlooked by the large production films.
After watching Highland Mountain Bike Park’s GnarEast film winner, a good film that centered around the central “story” of the park and ride bus that shuttles riders in to Highland from surrounding towns, they announced the raffle winners.
Not everyone left with a Kona mountain bike or set of Mavics, but, I think it’s fair to say, we all left with a greater appreciation for mountain biking, whether it’s the camaraderie of riders gathering in the dead of winter, the glimpse into where video will be taking us in the future or the passion for riding that made these films happen.
Winnick Woods Trail Day Video
Here is the film from the footage I shot during the Winnick Woods trail day.
If you look at the dates of the trail day, you’ll see that it’s been a while since the work got done. I got the final shots of the completed work being ridden just a couple of days ago. Enjoy!
Trail Day pt 2: IMBA Trail Care Crew
It’s not every day that you get to work with the preeminent experts in your field. Greater Portland NEMBAgot that opportunity when they won a grant to bring the IMBA Trail Care Crew to Falmouth to teach a trail building clinic. Thirty people showed up for the workshop that included both in-class instruction and field work at the new Falmouth open land project. Chris and Leslie Kehmeier of the IMBA Trail Care Crew (East) spent the morning teaching us about “flow” of both water off the trail and of mountain bikers gliding along singletrack. After spraying a heavy coat of bug spray on ourselves, we picked up our Pulaskis, McLeods and rakes and and began the outdoor clinic. With their help and instruction, we turned 1800 ft of nothing but little pink flags into fresh, sustainable trail. There is still plenty of work to keep us busy out there, but with their technical, hands-on teaching, we have a good start on a great trail. Thank you, Chris and Leslie, and IMBA.

Trail Work Day Pt 1: Winnick Woods
There.
Raging in Portland
Mountain biking, for me, is a solo event. So I feel some apprehension when I ride into the parking lot to see a dozen cars parked with bikes on top. Normally I blame my work schedule for my lack of riding partners, but that’s only partly true. My thirst for alone-time derails any real attempt at finding people to ride with.
Tonight, however, I’m heading out with the Rage on Portland group, a loose organization of riders who consistently meet up to ride. I do these rides once or twice a year. As I begin talking to the Ragers getting their bikes ready for the trail, I remember why. There is a subdued energy surrounding these people. They love trails. They love riding them. And they love riding them together.
We set out and I drop in mid pack. I represent the center-point in this group of twenty-five–somewhere between the hammers and the cruisers, somewhere between the twenty-ish woman on her ninth ride ever and a sixty-five-year-old man who’d been riding since before I was born.
There is a lot of chatting on the road. Then, we drop into the dense Maine woods. Sound disappears. Our tires roll over dry dirt and pine needles. The occasional rustle of dry leaves breaks the silence. The line of riders weaves like a multi-colored serpent through the forest. It’s like a dance where my personal experience gets swallowed up in the greater experience of the group. The line bunches up as we slow to say hi to a hiker with a border collie and thank her for letting us pass. once past, the line stretches until I can’t see either end.
The banter picks up when we stop at trail junctions to wait for the rest of the group. While I’ve met most of these guys before, I don’t know any of them well enough to engage in the ribbing that goes on. Instead, I take it all in, learning about the people I’m with. Brian spends a lot of time crashing. Mike is riding strong after fracturing his hip in a crash the summer before and Katrina could kick all of our asses on a bike or climbing a rock face. There are riders who just got back from Moab and riders dreaming of making the trip to Kingdom Trails a couple of hours away. Even though I know nothing of their off-the-bike lives, I feel like I know them all. And they seem to know me–the important parts, at least.
Maybe the bike is the only thing that unites us. I doubt it, but it doesn’t seem to matter. We set off again, pedaling into the woods. The only real competition amongst us is with the sun racing toward sunset. I follow the leaders, trying to memorize where the new trails are so when I come out here again, by myself, I can find them. The task is impossible in the labyrinth of trees. It doesn’t matter, I tell myself. I promise myself this is the year I put away my loner tendencies and begin riding with the group.
Mourning Trail Closures in Montana
A precedent-setting decision by made by U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy condemns 150 miles of trail in the heart of Montana to closure and threatens over 700 more miles of singletrack throughout the state. The trail closures stem from a lawsuit filed by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Montana Wilderness Association and The Wilderness Society alleging that, by allowing mountain bikers to use the trails, the Gallatin National Forest Service failed to preserve the wilderness character of the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn wilderness study area (WSA). This ruling sets the stage for possible closures of trails in other WSAs around the state (and the greater US).
This loss is personal for me. The Hyalite trail system was the solas I fled to during one of the lowest points of my life. I often headed out after work. Since I was on a mountain bike, I covered the distance to overlooks in the short hours before sunset that would have taken far too long on foot. I have many fond memories of watching the slanting rays of the sun light up raw peaks and tree-carpeted valleys in crisp alpenglow. Being in the center of all that beauty gave me the strength to wake up and go through it all again the next day.
The Gallatin Forest Service office’s mountain bike-friendly policies make the trails surrounding Bozeman easily the best trails I have ever ridden. They built sustainable trails long before “sustainable trail-building” became a buzzword. Their trails consistently show less wear and less erosion than other trail systems around the US and should be a model for trail-building. Instead, it makes them an easy target for lawsuits.
The IMBA and Montana Mountain Bike Alliance have vowed to continue the fight through appeals. Here are a few things you can do to help:
- Become an IMBA member.
- Make a donation to IMBA’s Legal Advocacy Fund.
- Donate to the Montana Mountain Bike Alliance.
- Be cool, and politely share the trail with other users.
Remember, this fight will soon extend into your own neighborhood trail system. Joining your local trail advocacy group is essential. The opposition is organized, we must be, too.
Here are some links to articles on the trail closures:

Summer the way summer was meant to be lived
We have had a most peculiar summer, with the weather either overly cool and rainy (today) or blazingly hot (temps near 100 predicted for Sunday). I long for a stretch of 82 degree, low humidity days, but I wonder where it is that I think I live. Minnesota doesn't do moderate, not summer, not winter.
On Tuesday, I took a rare day off work--a rare day that wasn't committed to book nonsense, that is--and met up with dear, dear, dear PMiller, famous on this blog, famous in life, a best friend, an old friend. She knows all my secrets and she does not judge me. She is wise and thoughtful but also loves to laugh and hike and doesn't mind the rain or bugs.
She came by my house in mid-morning, won the hearts of the dogs all over again, and then we cruelly left them behind and drove down the Mississippi River to Frontenac State Park for a hike. Now if you've been reading the news, you know that the state government here in Minnesota has shut down. The state museums and historical sites are all closed. You cannot buy a fishing license, or renew your driver's license. Beer distributors are finding out that once their licenses expire they cannot renew them, and so Miller has to pull all of its products off the shelves of all liquor stores. The Minnesota Historical Society has shut down its library, and the Minnesota Historical Society Press might not be able to publish its fall line of books if this goes on much longer. It is madness, all of it.
The state parks, too, are closed. This means you can't park in them, there are no employees, you are not allowed to camp, all the buildings (including bathrooms) are locked, and if you fall off a cliff there will be no ranger around to rescue you. But you can hike. The trails are open. So hike we did.
Pam grew up down near Frontenac; this is her territory, like the North Shore is mine. And it is gorgeous. Sandstone bluffs high along the river; eagles and turkey vultures wheeling on currents of air; prairie grasses and wildflowers grown tall, swaying in the gentle breeze.
It was not a ridiculous weather day. It was chilly and we had spotty rain in the morning, but the skies cleared and we got freckled and a little sunburned in the afternoon. We had the park to ourselves--us, and the animals.
As we rounded one grassy path, I saw movement up ahead, a dozen or so small brown birds with long necks. "What are those birds?" I asked, and then the mother--a turkey!--hurried out of the tall grass behind them. She made a noise, and the baby turkeys all flew, almost straight up, and hid in the leaves of a spreading birch tree. Mama turkey crossed the path, plunged back into the grass, and was gone.
What magic! A dozen wild baby turkeys. But there was more. Pam spotted a fox (I missed it). We both stopped and watched, through brush and grass, as a speckled fawn nursed from its mother, who watched us with big eyes and did not move.
We walked and walked. We saw an immature bald eagle at the top of a tree, all hooked beak and mottled feathers, and a mature eagle gliding and soaring nearby. Pam insisted on calling them "the mother eagle and her baby," but that was one big baby, with sharp-looking talons.
We stopped for a picnic; Pam always packs a feast, and so we had fresh berries and cherries, two kinds of cheese, crusty peasant bread, two ripe tomatoes, an apple. We ate so well we forgot to eat the chocolate she had packed.
Later in the day, we drove down the Mississippi, crossed over into Nelson, Wisconsin, got ice cream (me) and wine (Pam), sat outside, had a mid-afternoon coffee, meandered back to the park for one more walk.
We were never at a loss for words. We solved all the problems of the world that day, as my grandfather would say--we reminisced about our youth; we talked about her grown son and the job market; we wondered how much money we will need to retire (that one we didn't solve); we talked about romance and relationships and friendships and all the people at work who drive us around the bend and all the people at work we respect and admire. (I will leave it to you to decide which is the larger group.)
And then home again, along the empty road, through the quiet farmland and pretty river towns, back to the Cities.

- Local every day inLimerick, Royersford, and Spring City, PALimerick, Royersford, and Spring City, PA Limerick, Royersford, and Spring City, PA
Even though people had to bundle up against the cold wind, they still stood in a long line to get their free Rita's Water ice!
Patch was at the Royersford Rita's at about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon and the line impressively stretched across the patio area in front of Rita's, down the sidewalk, and past the doors of the new Fuji Japanese Restaurant.
Here are some photos of the line!

Ziptrip: North Side Siblings Develop a New Type of CTA App
Leave your old CTA smartphone app in the dust, because these siblings are focused on making Chicago's commute simpler, and help with the No. 11 bus cancellation.
Forget the consistently wrong bus schedules and the need to be a seasoned Chicagoan to figure out all the public transportation tricks, because two North Sie siblings have created a tool to make navigating the city a bit more – visual.
Shayna Hirsch, 28, and her brother Robert, 31, of Lake View, have spent the last year and a half developing ziptrip, a new smartphone application aimed at smoothing out the sometimes wonky commutes with the Chicago Transit Authority.
Unlike current apps with seemingly endless lists of bus stops or a constant need to refresh the app to update the data, the Hirsches created an interactive map that recognizes where the commuter is standing in the city and plots out all the area bus stops.
“There are probably a dozen or so CTA apps out there now, most of which are terrible. Well, no, they’re all terrible,” laughed Robert, a graphic designer who created ziptrip’s look. “They’re all exactly the same, and nobody likes using them. So we thought, ‘There’s got to be a better way to do this.’”
"We use ziptrip every day, and moving forward with 11 going away, (finding alternative routes) is just something we’re going to have to think about.”
Robert said he and his sister Shayna would commute on the CTA every day for work, becoming increasingly frustrated with each app they tried out. Eventually they realized the solution they were looking for didn’t exist, so they created their own.
With unique features like the visual map pinpointing buses in real time, as well as reminder settings so commuters can get an alert when their bus is five or 10 minutes away, the Hirsches think their app is simply more useful. And so far, ziptrip users agree. The app currently has a five-star rating in the iTunes apps store, and the duo says they’ve gotten a few hundred downloads since its launch six months ago.
However, the two – who also live together – have another motive behind perfecting the app. Shayna says they personally rely on the soon-to-be-cancelled No. 11 bus, so they’ll be using their own app to discover new ways to make their daily commute downtown.
“The 11 bus is going away,” Shayna said. “We live at Lincoln and Wellington, and we’re so pissed off about it… We use ziptrip every day, and moving forward with 11 going away, (finding alternative routes) is just something we’re going to have to think about.”
Sign up for breaking news alerts in Lincoln Square and check us out on Facebook.
Once the buses are cancelled, ziptrip will be automatically updated to not include any discontinued routes.
In the meantime, the two are listening closely to the reaction from users. And with the CTA reporting more than 1.6 million riders every weekday, the Hirsches are hoping to hear even more.
“The crazy part is that in the last three months, we’ve tripled our downloads and monthly users,” Robert said. “We’re kind of impressed at this point. People are truly liking it a lot.”
Ziptrip sells at the Apple iTunes store for 99 cents.

Well said United Future's Judy Turner. I couldn't even be bothered blogging about this silly bunch of meddlers, the National Council of Women. But Judy Turner has given them and the 180 degree party (National) a good burst.
“So a report written by the National Council of Women will tell the United Nations that New Zealand is experiencing ‘marked change for the worse’ for women,” she says.
“What a load of hogwash. This is simply representatives of the women’s industry trying to justify their roles and push for more funding. They argue that sexist jokes are increasingly common, and more needs to be done.
“National had a ‘PC eradicator’ two years ago. Now they are chasing the women’s vote and proposing that the taxpayer fork out to increase the funding given to the Ministry of Women’s Affairs to expand their role and mandate.
“I have to say when you look around the world at countries where women are sold and traded like commodities; and rape victims are murdered by their own family in the name of ‘honour’, it’s a little embarrassing that we have a delegation heading to New York to say that sexism is an increasing problem in New Zealand and sexist jokes are common place.”

National is a load of crap for caving in on their principles. Most women have a great sense of justice and don't want to look like victims or be teated more equal than men under the law. Who now speaks for them?
Sorry to blog of topic but on Newstalk ZB on Wednesday about 2-3pm a guy rang up saying he had 5 kids and was on about $700 pw and he's recently shacked up with a woman with 4 kids on $600pw and he was going to get a job but had now made the economic decision not to go back to work.
Unfortunately their recordings failed on that day but I'm trying to get a transcript. I'm sure its just the tip of the iecberg. Are the figures for income distributions of beneficiaries available (without names of course) through the official info act?
would creat a hell of a stir.
WFF has meant families with many children can be better off not working. There can be no doubt that the scheme will effect productivity sooner or later.
Of course if this newly formed couple declare their relationship to WINZ their current incomes will be reduced. I think the big story is the one we can't know about and that is the incidence of 'illegal' shacking up/ claiming two benefits. Since a Court ruling defining what exactly is "in the nature of a marriage" (after which WINZ had to overturn thousands of cases which had previously been deemed as such but no longer were, dis-establishing debts, paying out lump sums)I don't think they vigorously pursue relationship fraud. Too hard to prove the positive.
It's getting harder to elicit info through the OIA (from MSD anyway) but some questions could be framed.
Hey, how do you tell there's been a blond at the computer?
... Twink on the monitor.
(Do I get stoned by the WFF now?)

Being a guy, I know that if you are the hands on type (like me) we tend to define ourselves by the tools that we have. I am going to discuss which tools I think no man should ever go without because of their versatility to work on almost any job. The tools below are any man’s dream to have in his arsenal. Being in the construction business for over the last 30 years, we take our tools and their ability to perform on the job as serious business. With the large variety of power tools on the market it can be mindboggling, but these tools allow us to work faster and increase the number of different jobs that we are able to accomplish. Below, we are going to discuss power tools that will make a difference in performance and reduce fatigue.
Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit
Cordless Drill
No man should ever go without a cordless drill in his collection. This will be your go to tool for many projects around your home. Without it, you’ll be looking like an Amish carpenter as you hand-bore holes at a rate of one per hour. The Makita 18-volt cordless drill-driver weighs only 3.5 lbs. yet delivers up to 450 lbs. of max torque. This little beauty will give you enough oomph to get through any type of reasonable material. Its ergonomic shape fits like a glove for reduced operator fatigue and has a compact lithium-ion battery charges in only 15 minutes for less downtime.
Hitachi C10FCH2 10″ Miter Saw with Laser
Miter Saw
A power miter saw, also known as a chop saw or drop saw, is a power tool used to make a quick, accurate crosscuts. Common uses include framing operations, cutting crown molding, chair rails or decking. Most miter saws are relatively small and portable, with common blade sizes ranging from eight to twelve inches. Hitachi’s 10” miter saw is great for a couple of reasons. It is the lightest in its class at 26.5 lbs. and also has an exclusive laser marking system which can be activated before the blade is in motion for exact alignment and predictable blade placement aiding you in achieving the old adage “measure twice, cut once”. I would recommend saving money and building your own more versatile miter saw table. Building your own will allow you to support longer stocks, frees up works space and keeps the saw at the perfect working height all the time. There are many plans and videos on the internet you can access for building your own table.
Milwaukee 6509-22 Sawzall 11-Amp Reciprocating Saw
Sawzall
Few tools embody the raw destructive force of a sawzall or reciprocating saw. It will cut through most metals and woods like butter. It has a large blade that resembles a jigsaw. Milwaukee makes a sawzall that is the ultimate demolition tool. This bad boy can be equipped to cut pretty much anything with its dizzying array of available blades. Studs, pipes or even sheets of metal don’t stand a chance against this awesome machine. This sawzall is an 11 amp durable and super light machine weighing in at just 7lbs holding the title for the best power-to-weight ratio in its class. Don’t underestimate this small, but really tough, saw that has variable speed trigger that sends the blade from 0-2,800 strokes per minute. It has a rubber boot that provides superior gripping and exceptional accuracy.
Paslode 902000 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer
Finish Nailer
A finish nailer is a specific power tool that is categorized as a type of nail gun. The finish nailer is designed to accomplish carpentry finish work quickly and efficiently. As with other types of nail guns, a finish nailer is designed for use with very specific sized nails, which are sold in strips that load into the gun. Inside, a hammer mechanism drives the nails with powered force, making the finish nailer ideal for quickly installing all types of trim from baseboards to crown molding. Paslode’s 902000 Fuel-Powered Cordless 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer allows you to never worry about dragging around cords,. It weighs just 4.9 pounds, so it’s easy on the arms. And with a sure-grip handle, it’s comfortable to hold, even during all-day jobs. It can drive 3/4″ to 2-1/2″ 16-gauge straight nails in even the hardest woods, so you can finish doors, molding, paneling, rails, casing and cabinetry work. When you’re tackling a big job, you’ll be grateful for the high-capacity straight-collation magazine, which holds up to 100 nails.
DEWALT DC825KA 1/4″ (6.4mm) 18V Cordless XRP™ Impact Driver Kit
Impact Driver
An impact driver is an ideal choice for tackling a broad range of fastening applications. It is getting a lot of attention these days because it is neither a hammer drill nor a regular drill. It has a smaller condensed profile compared to a regular drill allowing it to have 1,330 inch-pounds of torque. This also means that you are less likely to strip screws and it allows you to drive long screws with minimal effort. This Dewalt driver has a textured anti-slip grip comfort grip that provides maximum comfort and control when on the job. It also has a heavy-duty impacting mechanism that directs the torque to fastener without kickbacks. You can’t go wrong with this machine.
DEWALT DW366 7.25″ Heavy Duty Circular Saw with Electric Brake
Circular Saw
This type of hand held power saw is a basic tool in a carpenter, builder or home renovator’s tool kit. A circular saw is an electric saw that turns a round flat blade to cut wood, metal, or plastic depending on the blade selected. A good circular saw should have enough raw power to slice through everything from wet lumber to dense hardwood without bogging down. For a wide range of carpentry projects, the good old circular saw can be your best friend. Choosing one like the Dewalt DW364 is a good call, in that it has both the power you’ll definitely need and the features you’ll be thankful for, particularly if you get into making some more advanced cuts. The saw is capable of making bevel cuts of up to 50 degrees and its aluminum alloy base means enough durability to make a lot of said cuts. For safety’s sake, this saw is equipped with an electric brake for quick blade halts and features a handle layout that keeps you behind the blade.
Porter-Cable 342 1/4-Sheet Palm Sander
Palm Sander
A palm sander is a type of power sander that can easily be held and operated with one hand. It is often a good choice for a variety of home improvement tasks. The palm sander works by vibrating in a slightly circular pattern. This motion causes a very effective sanding action to occur, smoothing the surface of the wood being sanded. They are considered very versatile and can handle both finish sanding and rough sanding jobs. The Porter-Cable Palm Sander is nice because it has a 2.4 amp motor for power and durability, rubber grip for comfort, a porous polyethylene dust canister that is much more durable than its cloth counterparts and weighs a mere 5lbs..

I feel like I've given this Lunduke fellow too much credit.
A challenge? really?
Let me point out a few things:
-.
If you want to make some points, why don't you write them on your lame blog. Then, if I feel so inclined, I'll write some stuff on my lame blog. We will make it impossible for our readers to follow. Isn't that how you freetards do it?
2373 flames:«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 2373 Newer› Newest»
EPIC WIN!
Yeah because if you gave up your anonymity, you couldn't be such a Drepper.
The hater is a reasonable guy. He really is. Well played! You pwoned him thoroughly.
You must be either deIcaza or Shuttleworth.
If so - Mark, when are you stopping this "Ubuntu" nonsense? I'm sure you can do something more productive with all that time and money, like creating school administration tools, or adopting a child, or doing lots of coke and whores.
LH - you may actually like Linus and want it to success, but most of us shudder the thought of actually using that steaming pile of shit.
Linux. Is. For. Nobody.
Please, let it die.
I like Linus and want it to success too
'coz he's a chubby chaser.
I meant Linux, you marvelous faggot gaylord!
It's obvious to anyone who has read this blog for more than a month that LH is Linus after a night of heavy drinking.
Linux - suck different!
Is it possible to use Linux, but *not* be a freetard?
I don't try to annoy other folks, just because I use Linux on the desktop. I enjoy tinkering with computers. I also use Windows, when I need it. I think it's fun to learn new things, new OS's.
Does that make me a "freetard" as you guys put it? I hope not.
Linux slogan competition?
Linux - it's dead, Jim.
Linux - install once, uninstall once.
Linux - you will have to live forever.
Linux - awful software for dirty people.
Linux - better when you're high.
Linux - the can't do attitude.
Linux - game over man, game over.
Linux - you meant it as a joke.axee.
"Learning new OS" is almost a meaningless thing.
Installing software, troubleshooting, superficial UI differences, are not really a "Learning" experience. There's no deep underlying principle. If you really want to learn about computers, grab a theory book.
The implementation is mutable, and in the end, unimportant.
You use Linux as a toy, which is all it can ever be (and quite a stupid, broken, boring and ultimately futile toy). As long as you don't try to deploy it in any real world scenario, or try to convert anyone, it's OK. Sad, but okay.
@rockwell
Does that make me a "freetard" as you guys put it? I hope not.
No, you are not a freetard. A freetard is someone who goes on and on rambling and promising about freedom and fundamental superiority of foss without delivering.
mmmmh, I wouldn't say that LH pwnd Mr. Lunduke (no need for that, somehow), but he demonstrated he's a honest and reasonable guy. And *a lot* of style.
...is Linus after a night of heavy drinking.No, otherwise he would post only on friday, saturday and sometimes on wednesday... :P
If you find yourself saying things like Micro-dollar-oft (Micro$oft) then you're a Freetard.
haha. Chicken.
I want to see the debate--I think it'd be an awesome attention-hungry cat fight.
Sounds like good times all around.
@ rockwell
What the guy said about studying theory is absolutely true in everything. Even though it's nice to play with many different things, at some point the best time investment is to go at the root of things, not forever, but long enough that at the end one is able to separate the main concepts from the implementations.
And this way is also time saving: from one concept you basically can know the root of tons of implementation. If you take the other way around, you need to try *many* implementations before understanding the main point.
That said, you surely are not a freetard.
Ah, saw too late, sorry Rockwell, if you want an example, Jake T seems to be a good half freetard (and surely he'll say something about his courage to put his real name etc.) :P
I'll add a few

Linux - Because Freedom means spending your days hacking someone else's code
Linux - Being a Tool is Better than being a Paid-by-M$-shill

Linux - Finally got it to the way you want? Well, time to apt-get dist-upgrade!
Ok ... so, i guess what I'm hearing is that (most of) you guys don't have an issue with using Linux on the desktop ...but a "freetard" is one who constantly tells everyone else that desktop Linux is superior.
For what it's worth, I don't think that's the case .. but I do think Linux on the desktop has come a long way since I first messed with RedHat, back in 1999 or so.
For most users, though, I'd say Windows is still the better choice, or Mac OS X. Me, I like the idea of another choice, so it's fun to investigate.
sorry, above post was from me -- rockwell
Got it, rockwell :)
evangelism and religious zeal over software just gives us all so much to laugh about
This post somehow got modded "Funny">>what are the chances of Word replacing LaTeX as the editor of choice in academia?
Hate to break it to you, but it already has, like 10 or 15 years ago. It is only some very zealous math people who still use TeX for anything important, and only even more zealous Linux or BSD users that do so on open source operating systems. In the last 10 years, closed source software has leapfrogged open source in every conceivable way. Windows 7 and OS X make Linux look like the crap that it is. Office 2010 puts POWER into the hands of both everyday users and power users like nothing else in history.
Admit it folks, open source software has failed miserably. Closed source has demonstrated, once and for all, that there is no real benefit to opening up software.
I await my downward moderation simply for telling the truth.
Oh, I also forgot about "paranoid", rockwell. Your average freetard is more paranoid than a stereotypical Kentucky mountain man.
@ Rockwell:
I like the idea of another choice, so it's fun to investigate.Fine, me too (and many other here) like the idea of another choice, but still Linux is not at all a suitable option for my needs. And I tried a lot.
I tried so much that at some point (realizing that I had to compile alsa for idiot reasons) I stopped and googled "Linux sucks", really full of hate! Then I found a forum and from there this blog.
It has been an enlighting moment to discover that it wasn't my fault, that there are precise, detailed reasons for the suckness and that I wasn't alone.
If it works for you, I'm actually happy for you.
If it doesn't, well, it's quite possible that the reason is very well explained in one of the posts of this blog (that's why I like it).
best.
P.S. How did you end up here?
Lundyke can now join Tony "Force My Wife" Lawrence and Steven J. "Zomg Confickerrr Will Striek at Any Moment" Vaughan-Nichols in the Hall of Freetards.
Lundouche? Someone had to say it!
LH you are a fag indeed, I don't hide myself and I face Winchot users every time, and here in Argentina that's all the time. You are not hiding because you are affraid of freetards, it's because you feel ashamed of the CRAP you say in your blog.

IShowing a screenshot with one command. Wow. That is up there with bragging about turning your linux desktop into a cube or a fish tank. As if using cntrl-alt-printscreen + paste into email take 5 hours.
What exactly do you use Bash for that makes your life easier? What couldn't be done with Cygwin?
Linux fish tank for those who haven't seen it
So, it has come down to this... the most outstanding advantage of Linux over Windows is the ability to share a screenshot over the network with one line of command on the console.
Yo, what the hell is this "winchot" business? Sounds like a rifle or something.
Yes, most new freetards are like Alvarez: 16 year old boys who have bought into the lies and zealotry spread by older men such as Stallman. It's the software version of NAMBLA.
Excuse me, that's GNU/NAMBLA.
I love how the community sees itself as "intelligent" when really its "arrogant".
Using a command line does not make you smarter. That would be like a crane operator claiming to be "far more intelligent" than you simply because he knows how to work a complex piece of machinery.
@Alvarez.
Did you read at least one post of this blog? What the fuck are you trying to demonstrate? What do you want to say? Is this the freedom you are learning in FLOSS? Do you want attention? Do you understand that, if this fucking Linux stuff would work better it would be a great platform for many more people? Do you understand that it doesn't because of internal problems?Do you understand that not everybody is a programmer? And that among programmers not everybody is interested in FLOSS? And that among FOSS programmers not everybody is interested in RMS stuff? And that the same applies in general for life? And that that's exactly like in the nice fractal wallpapers that you make?
BTW, they are really cool. And you know, they are not good because of GIMP, they are cool because of the fact you did them and you did them well.
BTW, You can do the same in every platform. But remember that many people CANNOT do what they want under Linux. But almost everybody can do what they want in Windows and partly under Mac. Why? Because Linux sucks in many things for many people.
Relax. And, if you feel, answer.

The Linux elder and the convert.
A play by .net jerkface.
Elder: Switch to linux and you'll never have to deal with windows problems again. You'll never have to deal with windows malware. All the cool smart kids are using it. It's really fast. I love it. You'll love it. You'll never have to buy windows again.
Convert: It's free and really fast? Well ok I'll try it.
Elder: Great welcome to the club.
Convert: Thanks.
2 weeks later
Convert: Where can I buy Linux games?
Elder: There are lots of free Linux games like Quake 3 and Tux Racer.
Convert: Yea but not many new ones.
Elder: That's because game companies don't want linux to be successful. Just buy a console.
Convert: Like the xbox?
Elder: ARGH! Haven't I taught you anything? That would just mean more money for Microsoft.
Convert: The point of linux is to keep money from going to Microsoft?
Elder: In some ways yes. So buy a PS3 or a Wii.
Convert begins to lose faith.
1 month later
Convert: Hey I noticed that my scanner doesn't work with Linux.
Elder: Just buy a new one.
Convert: My cell phone doesn't work with Linux either.
Elder: Just buy a new one. Oh and make sure you buy one that is on that list of cell phones that I sent you.
Convert: You mean that list of 3 cell phones? Great. Oh and itunes doesn't work with Linux.
Elder: ARGH. You sent money to Apple? Haven't I taught you anything?
Convert: I got an ipod as a Christmas gift from my mom.
Elder: Well your mom is retarded then. Sell it on ebay and buy a different one.
Convert loses even more faith.
3 months later.
Convert: I upgraded ubuntu and now I have no sound.
Elder: Just buy a new sound card or wait a few months for another update to fix it.
Convert: It's a laptop.
Elder: Well wait a few months then.
Convert: I have to wait for an update to fix an update?
Elder: (loses control) FUCK. Did you know that my uncle had some software that didn't work in vista? So I guess windoze sometimes breaks software too.
Convert: That was an OS change. I never had windows update take away my sound.
Elder: Well Windoze is just as bad. I mean come one. Blue screen of death and everything. Yea. And Vista Sux. So there. Just wait a few months for the patch. Or buy a new laptop. Make sure you buy one that isn't from an evil manufacturer.
Convert: Umm..sure...thanks for the advice....Linux sure is neat and stuff (reaches for restore cd).
Using Linux isn't some superior intellectual exercise. It's actually quite easy.
The problem start when you have to troubleshoot Linux, or actually get work done. That's, as well, isn't Hard (with a capital H), it's simply tedious, or impossible.
Obscurity isn't cleverness.
Cumbersome isn't complex.
Knowing of tons of obscure, mostly useless details of operating a fringe operation system does not make you intelligent, it's just junk knowledge, since that knowledge changes on each release, and does not converge into a whole.
At most, mastering Linux makes you an IT helpdesk, or a wannabe sysAdmin.
Linux - running in circles is the way forward.
Linux - facts are subjective.
Linux - trivia is intelligence.
Linux - Hitting your head against the wall is fun.
Linux - futility is inevitable.
The play is funny because it's true. Let us not forget the We've lost an Ubuntu convert to an iPod Touch thread on UbuntuForums, the bastion of brainwashed teen Lintards.
And I guess that's the way the elder reacted after he reached for the restore CD
@"Copying Open Office documents to USBkey"
Linux Desktop seems to do strange things to external USB flash devices. I remember trying to copy MP4 videos from Ubuntu 8.10 to my PSP device, suddenly giving me errors about folder permissions WTF???? Fat32? I had to mess around and schmod 777 the folders and files on my USB flash drive to get it to work properly.
Anyways I'm done with Linux desktop. Some people say "it's come a long way", I say PooPoo. It only recently supported wireless cards with WPA, and works almost barely. And don't even talk to me about WPA SSID with spaces in them. Most distros BORK with those. And what does "come a long way" mean? Is there now a single stable desktop/sound/video/LSB standard? besides firefox, openoffice evolution, and gimp, what groundbreaking application was made? Where is DVD video and DVD menu creation program? Why is there no gnome equivalent of Krita? No better equivalent to Dia? (gnome draw doesn't count), BD support? Send to context menus?
I'm sorry but running windows apps in wine is not the solution I'm looking for. If that's the only case, why bother to switch?
Goodbye Linux, hello OSX, BSD, Win7, Solaris, ReactOS. At least those have standards which don't change drastically every 6 months.
Let us not forget the We've lost an Ubuntu convert to an iPod Touch thread on UbuntuForums, the bastion of brainwashed teen Lintards.Good lord that thread shows everything that is wrong with the linux cult. Instead of just putting the poor girl back on xp, they actually suggested:
1. Don't use the ipod, buy a different mp3 player.
2. Run itunes in a virtual machine. You don't need Windows. Wait I guess you do, but instead of simply inserting the restore cd you should setup a virtual machine.
3. Dual boot xp and ubuntu. Want to run itunes? Time to restart you computer! Yay Linux is fun.
I love how the community sees itself as "intelligent" when really its "arrogant".
Dial that arrogance to hubris and you get an inability to see the forest from the trees when discussing the future and potential new sources of computing systems. Their blind "Linux is superior in every way" and "everything Microsoft does is garbage" attitude has not only blinded them to deficiencies in their system and strengths in Microsoft's, it has also blinded them to the erosion of both marketshare and mindshare in traditional and emerging markets.
Sure, servers remain strong, but Linux is out of aging UNIX setups to displace. Even then Solaris and FreeBSD and seem to be gaining interest, especially with off-the-shelf projects such as pfSense, Monowall, and FreeNAS. Linux has no presence whatsoever in the small device markets held by the likes of iPhone, iPod, Windows Mobile, PSP, and Game Boy. The rapid fire failures of Linux in these ventures does not leave one optimistic to the future, either.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying DesktopIsDead(TM), but part of the competitive advantage of being the small guy is that you can maneuver faster than the big guys. When the big guys can come in and corner an emerging market faster than you can even recognize that it happened (e.g. netbooks), it means that there is no competitive advantage. Linux being unable to capture risky, unstable markets at the rate Microsoft, Apple, Sony, and Nintendo do means that Linux is slower and less efficient than the big boys that they openly mock.
Were Linux a traditional business, the recommendation would be "compete or die". Some vendors, like RedHat and Zimbra, seem to already see the writing on the wall. As others have stated, it's all over if interest drops among the aging corps of hardcore hackers drafted between the late 80s and late 90s, which encompasses the overwhelming bulk of effort. The RMSes, ESRs, Perenses, and Torvaldses that were so plentiful fifteen years ago have dried up. Linux is on borrowed time unless it markets itself in a way to capture the hearts of young visionaries.
1. Don't use the ipod, buy a different mp3 player.

2. Run itunes in a virtual machine. You don't need Windows. Wait I guess you do, but instead of simply inserting the restore cd you should setup a virtual machine.

From the Ubuntu forum:, maybe you should have done what needed to be done in the first place.
The person wasn't a "convert", you just installed it on her computer and called it a day. Then when stuff she wants doesn't work, what's the first thing that happens? That's right, she wants what works back.
What you should have done was clean and recondition the copy of Windows like any non-fanboy would do.
This is more proof that Ubuntu (and Linux in general)is not ready for desktop use.
I say:
Make Windows her main desktop again, leave anti-virus off and teach her safe computing.Here's another funny freetard:
Have had a similar issue here. My younger son used Kubuntu for six months until he went to 6th form college. He then decided he wanted XP back so he was "fully compatible" with the college. Couldn't argue there.
Then six weeks ago he finally got fed up with always having to check for viruses, mallware etc, and asked for Kubuntu to be put back on.
Then he went and got an iTouch!!!!
I don't get fed up with always having to check for viruses malware, etc. I just don't run random programs on my computer. Strange concept!
Run software for an Apple product on a Windows virtual machine on Linux
Rube Goldberg would have loved this...
Linux - it's good enough for you too, dammit! you just have to try harder!
For people who tend to get malware the easiest solution is to make them use vista in a limited account. There is also the question of what exactly are they doing that leads them to get malware when most computer novices I know are able to keep their computers clean. The only exception was a friend who didn't want to pay a measly $20 for GTAIII and downloaded a warez version. His computer was turned into a battleground for competing malware. Needless to say he learned his lesson.
I have heard it is common at places like geek squad for people to bring in computers filled with malware and blame it on the teenagers who were looking for porn. Always the teenagers of course.
But Linux as a solution to malware? Reminds me of people who propose the public bus as an alternative to the car. Sure it works for some individuals but will it meet the demands of a typical American family? Give me a break., this is why I've stopped trying to convert people. The truth is that a lot of folks stay with Windows primarily because they are dependent on Windows-only software/hardware or because they're afraid of the unknown.
Being pushed by a Linux zealot into conversion away from Windows gives them the perfect excuse to blame you for anything that goes wrong. If they had a problem in Windows, it would be "Stupid computers." Once they have a problem in Linux, you can be sure it'll be "Stupid Linux. I want Windows back."
In order for people to successfully move away from Windows to Linux, they have to want to do so. I'm more than happy to help anyone I know who wants to make the switch... but given how many people I know who have to use iTunes for their iPod Touches or iPhones, I don't see that happening any time soon.Hardware and software? Computer being used for more than just the operating system? People actually using their computer for software to do stuff? Weird.

It will be cool to criticize Linux in this useless way.
Of course things won't change. For sure.
What needs to be done is zealot style trolling ("Linux does NOT suck, you are just too dumb to use it", etc.) on these posts that are starting to crop up. In fact...let me get started.
Oh yes, Windows it's so open even though just about every security firm on the planet is now saying its more secure than OS X and even Ubuntu. Security and safety are two different things.
Linux - Relive the early 90's every day
Don't listen to the experts. It's 1997 and you can insta-pwn any Windows machine with WinNuke.
But Linux as a solution to malware? Reminds me of people who propose the public bus as an alternative to the car. Sure it works for some individuals but will it meet the demands of a typical American family? Give me a break.
Linux isn't the people who suggest the bus instead of a car. Linux is the guy in the corner who bikes to work. And not the friendly guy who does it for exercise, oh no. Linux is the flaming prick who walks around in the padded shorts and lectures people about big oil. And he never quite gets that you can't put $200 in groceries in the handlebar basket, and having to carry people around on the handlebars would get old.
Ok, after the apt-get upgrade ... I was able to boot back into an older kernel ... thank goodness. At least wifi is back.
Still, that's whacked. How would a "average joe" know what to do.

Point conceded, though, WGA chafes a nerve, along with the even more paranoid anti-piracy stuff in Vista and beyond (yes my software is 100% legal).
The counter argument is that MS is entitled to receive their due from anyone using their software. This measure would not be necessary if there were fewer freeloaders - I remember people selling burnt CDs of Win98 and Office07 in the Buy&Sell way back (and I got my ads yanked when I tried selling Linux CDs to make a few lousy dollars).
No one has a perfect system. But, as is stated every now and then, this place is a haven for Desktop Linux "hate". There's plenty of crap about Microsoft flung around out there already for anyone to read. Some is true, and a great lot of it is tired old BS and FUD, which is exactly what this place gets accused of.
For myself, it's more for the laughs. No one on the net is going to change my views anyway. I've suffered system breakage with Linux (including today after updating a fresh server), so that's not BS, and I somehow manage to keep my home desktop running months without a reboot or GPF, years without a virus or reinstall, and never have had an update pooch something, except once on a grotty old win2k server, and recovery was an F8 - Use Last Known Good Configuration away

At least it didn't break X. Try installing the latest drivers from nVidia and do a simple kernel update. Et voilà, xorg.conf totally fucked up!
Oh, and xorg recovery in Ubuntu always failed with me, someone else here got it right? I remember doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg after every kernel upgrade, and then reinstalling nVidia drivers each time.
Windows users raving about Linux users, I don't know who is more sad.. the armwaving freetards or the Windows mob here unable to look beyond their shitty desktop systems
This blog rocks! I just spent 6 hours hacking together a working Suckbuntu 9.WTF. Ya see, I'm smart, I have two partitions, one has the broken new shit and one has stable 8.10.

From Lunduke's reply:
How about a debate on how the format of your blog is either helpful or harmful to the Linux (and software in general) world?
I guess it helps, but only a little. No one can help Linux unless he has the power to do fundamental organizational changes to Linux development, something like major Linux vendors join force to develop for a single distro.

LOL O linux is showing it's age.
Too little Too late, there are better alternatives out there in server/desktop, and now embedded.
I dare say if Apple was smart enough to license or coproduce it's iPod OS to GPS/embedded devices watch out! Ipod/OSX totally rocks! And I'm primarily windows user! Much respect to the programmers of Apple and Microsoft!
Linux OS is like a poor fake Apple Ipod touch clone. You know, the ones they sell for 70 bucks on the street corner?
linuxitouchclone=looks similar but shoddy made, poor interface and bad integration with components, can only do a few functions that are builtin (calulator/notepad), practically no third party games or apps. Don't mess or alter code or end up with breakage (just like desktop linux)
real ipod touch/phone=totally rocks, everything tightly integrated and makes sense, easy to control gui, wifi built-in, can download and run TONS of cool applications, games, productivity/special software. Worth every dollar as new software keeps popping daily and large catalog of cool software.
"Hey, Bill, are you the same guy as before posting about PJ? Just curious, haven't
seen him around in a while."
Are you talking to me?
"I might be the only one here interested in the PJ crusade."
Which crusade? The one against iPhone jailbraking?
Groklaw's crusade on proprietary products
PJ isn't so bad after all as she prefers Mac OS X!
I'm sure PJ and LH could become real good buddies.
Poor Winux Hater!
Did the mean old "freetard" hurt your widdle feelings?
Why YES he did!
LOL!
This blog is a circle jerk!
Look at all the little Wintards yipping like tiny poodles!
I love you linuxhater (no homo)
But seriously, that video from lunduke`s made me puke, a bunch of stuck-up assholes pretending not to praise the allmighty linux.. If linux were a person his colon would be filled to the brim with those freetards` faces.
I`ve read all of your posts and I believe you have the right attitude towards the epic shitstain that is linux. I know you don`t care about me, but I hope you never stop posting on your blog; smart people such as yourself are hard to come by in this world largely divided into linux fanboys and ignorant twats.
Oh look! Ken "Darwinian Anomaly or Thalidomide Tragedy?" Saborio hangs out here!
Poor "linux hater" -- surrounded by retards!
Linux, FOSS and espcially FSF and GNU are circlejerks. This blog, at best, is a a circlepuke, where we non-freetards come to empty our guts after being nauseated by the tech press and freetardian blitzkrieg.
Looks like another organisation has fallen for Linux propaganda:
Luckily we've got the brain cells that frequent this blog to tell them what a POS their network is.
To the anonymous above:
Recognizing Linux's faults and general suckiness does make you, or anyone else, more intelligent.
Leave the presumptuousness, masturbatory self congratulation and general nastiness to the FOSS crowd.
Linux - it's a lie.
Another thought provoking, elegantly stated, nugget of wisdom from one of the brain cells.
Keep it up, you just prove my point.
How about Intel's Moblin effort? People keep claiming Linux for netbooks has failed once and for all, but surely Intel is not run by retards.
"but surely Intel is not run by retards."
2 words: Rambus Deal ;)
Intel has had a few idiot moments. We'll see whether or not this becomes another.
Linux - For the Natural Born Luser
Linux - For those who think Pity is Envy
Moblin seems really nice, but you see, it's not like Linux as a whole would suddenly become better thanks to this. Anyway that prove that the only viable way to make Linux work is the cathedral model, and being a company with a shitload of money to dump on this project helps too (because developers have to eat, you know). Also, seems like they are working on having standard ABI/API on this one, and that acually means two things: 1) applications designed for Moblin would work only on this, and 2) applications written for other Linux distros would never work if those use different/incompatible libraries (primarly I mean no Gnome/KDE apps, althoug some command-line programs could still work, but that really depends on the code).
Agreed.
Moblin is getting a lot of positive attention lately.
So does Android.
What do we learn from this?
Linux by itself is worthless. The only good thing that may come out of it is companies throwing money and manpower at it and shaping Linux to fit their needs.
Google does so, too, with its "GoogleOS".
For that, Linux is well-suited. It's a technology playground, useless buggy beta-crap on its own and you might find a few cool things here and there, but to make use of these things you need to create a real platform.
Which is apparently the one major thing the FOSS crowd can't ever do - because the whole bazaar model fails in that regard.
"It appears that the current cause célèbre freetard, Lundumb, a.k.a. Brian Lunduke,
came to the attention of the Linux Hater because Lundumb (badly) produced a video based on a presentation Lumbdumb titled, charmingly enough, "Linux Sucks!" As if far too many of us in the community don't know that already.
"Coward? You're calling Linux Hater a coward? Do you know who the real coward in the Linux community is? Her name is Pamela Jones. Yeah, that Pamela Jones, keeper of Groklaw."
Link
Does Moblin look like a default GNOME desktop to you, motherfucker? Then why are you treating it like one? Say "what" again, bitch.
And agreed also here. I mean, if someone puts money on Linux and makes something that works (and at least visually it seems that some professionalism was involved), well, there's nothing strange or miraculous. The only Linux merit is to give a 60% already-done job, open to other companies to build from. And that's fine.
Probably, that means that the possible merits of Moblin will be circumscribed to Moblin.
Uh, I'm curious to try it. I just watched the official video: no mention of Linux (good! They learnt the first lesson: don't scare the user), and a reasonable professional production (audio and video NOT made with OSS tools, I'm sure :P ).
Of course, the video doesn't answer to the first "next question" of the user: "Can I install other apps?". And I didn't say MS apps.
cheers
People keep claiming Linux for netbooks has failed once and for all, but surely Intel is not run by freetards..
FTFY.
Uh, sure, Intel is a company, if they fail, they are in deep shit. When freetard community development fails, they can always say: it's free, ItsYourFault(tm) etc.
Remember, freetard: moblin is intel's stuff. Google? the same. Apple? the same.
The word, the idea, the slightest smell of "FLOSS" is not connected at all with that.
Now they are asking the community to provide software, add-ons for it, because without that, Moblin will have a short life, and they know.
Apple did the same many years ago.
Now, please, can all freetard go home and copy some iphone apps for Moblin and for free?
Thanks.
Ooops, sorry, dear communards, I forgot: before you go and copy some apps, please check ALL the Moblin's source code.
You know, EU recently demonstrated that Intel is really $$$ addicted, so, before use their OS, I want to be sure that bugs and absence of suspicious software are checked by the common effort of the community.
ROFL.
Even Dell thinks Linux Desktop doesn't need the last version:
YouDontNeedTheLastVersion(TM)
And to the french polcie force that are migrating to Linux desktop, good luck on your next dist-upgrade or service pack rollout. Better not add anything not in repository and or upgrade or risk breakage hell.
ROFLMAO
So, went a little further checking moblin website (no download, it seems that there's a freetard over excited assault to moblin's pages.
from the website:
This section introduces you to some of Moblins key applications; the Moblin Web Browser, and Moblin Media player.So, it's a browser and a media player (I'm not really impressed by the word "some" in "...some of Moblins key apps").
Ahhh, finally I can recognize my old, dear Linux in all its awesomness. It's the peak of the YouDontNeedThat(tm) culture.
Now, I don't want to sound pessimistic, but either they will inform *very* well the possible future customers about the real limitations of the system, or, once again, it will be an epic fail, slightly reduced by the fact that it doesn't look like shit (as the xandros os looked imo). Let's see...
Ahah, great article!
It seems that in Dell they are reading LH blog or that they would really agree with it! They also say that they don't care about what freetards think/want.
A mainstream user does not care if it's [Ubuntu Linux] 8.04 or 8.10 or 9.04 (he/she does not know what those are) -- she just wants it to work right and be stable/safe...Most of the Linux enthusiasts would not like to be so far behind (i.e., 8.04 vs. 9.04), but they are not our primary target audience for the [operating system] imageLinux enthusiasts (freetards) pwnd.
Good.
I am using linux for 7 years, not on programmers/developers level, mostly on end user usages. I'd used distro like red hat, fedora, gentoo, ubuntu (oh btw, ubuntu literally meant u as you, buntu as dead end in our language, lol) , centos and recently opensuse. For most part, I use them for server purposes, like web hosting, web apps development, bind/named, samba and etc.
For desktop experience.. those distro failed to impress me. I would rather using Windows or Mac OS X for delivering end product to my customer. Rather trying to figure out/solving problems by hardware/software in Linux for hours, which is always has been the problems with Linux distro for end user like me. It is much faster for me to author using proven software than get thick off and wasted time to deliver products in time.
For some users who has experienced in Linux may say, go to the forum to get help, use command line/syntax rather using the GUI?.. ugh I didn't know GUI is obsolete nowadays?, most beginners will turn their face away after getting difficulty in learning command line, post bugs, wait for the new fixes, the attitude of get it work on your own (hey it's free so no more question ask). But for normal people/user like us who need to feed families, we couldn't wait no more, we could pay some geeks, engineers or programmers to do it if they could do it much faster.
I could use various apps on windows/mac platform to get things done much, and get paid and continue living. It's not that we don't like linux and oss, we like them. But for less experience end user (which is populating around the globe), linux distro offer less experience which is killing linux in the end.
Unless there are no changes or revolution inside Linux community, graphic libraries, programming/developer tools, standardize tools/libraries, and issues, expect Linux no less for desktop, it is dying.
I think this blog is slowly becoming one of the most accurate tech site on the web. Really.
Captcha: aughtxp... anything xp?
You are sick
@destera.
Welcome, and I agree with you in every detail (being myself mainly an end user, though in the audio field).
I really liked this part so I'll quote it.

Just tested Ubuntu 9.04 today on a Dell Optiplex 755.
I read that some were calling Ubuntu 9.04 "as slick as windows 7 or Mac OS X"; such an opinion was written on a "respectable blog", in this case Cnet.
WTF? In just one hour this afternoon I have seen a huge amount of "Epic fails" when running Ubuntu 9.04, such as the inability to access my windows share, window content redrawing failure under X and Firefox running like crap. Aren't there some serious bloggers out there to point out how deluded these freetards are? I mean, there is only this blog which is quite well known and that's it? There's not a "well known" and "respected" blogger on Cnet to give the freetards a good reality check?
By the way, why did this Lunduke dude fail to report the ballant stupidity of such articles?
we could pay some geeks, engineers or programmers...I actually did it once. I asked the programmer of Lilypond for a feature. Luckily this really particular feature was already available through some scheme programming, so he gave me the hack, he documented it, and he told me the price for the time he spent: 25€ (15 minutes of work). He already tried to setup a pay-per-feature system, so his requests were public to the users.
I was lucky: for other features the price was of hundreds to thousands euro, and the feature I'm talking about is absolutely impossible to realize on the commercial available solutions.
But everybody can understand that this is not a suitable system, even sharing the money with other users, in particular if it's about a small, specific field (how many contemporary composers out there? :-)
What I should have done? Learn C++ and Scheme to make music and be free ? I actually learnt and still do some Lisp and and a lot of graphical programming as pure data and max.
But there's a real line between the programming skills that a composer (without a prior and proper programming education) can learn for his needs (advanced as they can be), and the programming required to make or modify a complex application. Programming is a wonderful art, but as all professions, it needs a lot of time, dedication and talent.
A 16 years old h4x0r maybe doesn't understand it, but freetardlandia is not only populated by kids, sadly.
But everybody can understand that this is not a suitable system
And I meant for both the user and the programmer, which has all my respect and esteem(in the case of the Lilypond programmer). We both have to eat.

Dr AJG’s Commentary
I probably should point out a few issues regarding my relationship with Microsoft:
1. I don’t like them. I don’t like their attitude, and I don’t like their products
in general.
2. The last time I willingly used a Microsoft software product, was in 1990: I unfortunately
used Microsoft Word to write my dissertation. (Ocasionally I have to use MS WIndows
since the classrooms I teach in have instructor computers running MS Windows, but
I don’t consider that “willingly”.)
3. Since 1993, the department I worked in has moved from NextStep, to Openstep toGNU/
Linux. (We did inherit an MS WIndows lab for a while from another department but
have changed it to GNU/Linux since then.)
4. If I am bias (and I probably am) then I am bias against Microsoft.
None of this of course means that I like unfounded accusations or one-sided
statements. Free software can and will stand on its own. We do not need to stoop
to inappropriate behaviour.
Fuck you, fuck you all!
Everyone here is a freetard. Just a bunch of freetards arguing amongst each other.
Fuck you, fuck you all!Well, you are a freetard trolling by quoting another freetard. So you are an asshole, while Dr. AJG is only a freetard.
Anyway, funny enough that a math uni teacher and gnumeric dev doesn't use MS stuff since so long time.
If I would be in him, even respecting his "attitude", I'd check every second month how excel or other spreadsheets look and work, at least to keep my effort focused... Weird.
Everyone here is a freetard. Just a bunch of freetards arguing amongst each other.
Uhu, it seems that all the freetards stopped checking moblin pages, they got frustrated, so they come here.
Come on! Go and watch "Matrix" for the n time and dream.
"Free software can and will stand on its own."
Absolutely!
But not all free software.

"You don't have the courage of your convictions to come out in public and support your views."
Perhaps you should read his post, like the "Do you really think I want freetards hassling me in my real life?" part. It's perfectly understandable to anyone with an IQ over 50.
"CHICKEN, you are CHICKEN PS I used my real name to flame"
An absolute nobody, that no one's ever heard of uses his real name to call some anonymous guy "chicken" on the web. Wow, I gotta give it to you, you really got some balls! It must've taken a lot of courage for sure.
This is sad, some Hatetard told me to come here for cogent arguments, all I find are some tossers arguing amongst themselves.
Until you can stop forking the hatred and put together one set of reasons why Joe Sixpack should hate Linux, people are never going to understand why Free software sucks.
I tried hating Linux for a while, but had to go back to loving it again when all you could me were pissing matches.

@May 20, 2009 10:27 PM
Bring him to the vet, he could have the RMSmaniosis.
Took Lunduke to the vet, he said Lunduke's too much of an navel-gazing cuntbox to be allowed to live.
Put him to sleep right then and there. The best thing was: the vet did it for free! Said he'd tried Ubuntu 9.04 Jolloping Jackanapes, and it was 'fucking shit'.
So, no more Lunduke. Not that anyone'll notice.
@Darrin Ritter.
Your all anonymous cowards? First off, no on owns all the anonymous cowards here, and second, the correct statement should be All of your anonymous cowards... followed by a description of what the anonymous cowards are doing or being.
Unless you mean "You're all a bunch of anonymous cowards". You're is the proper contraction of the words you are and denotes the state of being of a group. As for putting a real name up, anyone can create a name online and claim it is their real name, since they're not going to have to show paperwork to prove it.
P.s. Freetards/Lintards: please note the distinction between your and you're. It is also important to know the differences between they're, their, and there; please define and discuss they're, their, and there. Extra points will be awarded.
Basically LH insults Lunduke because Lunduke's criticism of Linux is too gentle, and misses crucial points like "G-P-fucking-L". This reminds me of the RMS/Torvalds debate over whether FOSS is about ideology or about better quality software. From what we've seen in the past, I feel the linux hater community is in the danger of fragmentation. Since LH is more extreme, he's the RMS equivalent, and he showed similar traits by aggressively claiming credits (you just took my posts and made them and to slides) reminiscent of the GNU/Linux naming claim.
Lunduke is nothing but a pathetic attention whore. He "points out" the obvious and fails in proposing anything useful.
Challenging anonymous people is also extremely stupid, unless you're Mike Tyson.
Darrin Ritter, from Australia, who filed 3 bugs for Ubuntu feels like he can lecture people who have done more and for longer time with and toward Linux.
Darrin Ritter, you are nothing but a fool, first because you fail to provide facts to support your assertions, and resort to ad-hominem attacks.
Second - because you have absolutely no right to uncover the identities of those who does not wish to do so.
Darrin Ritter, you are mindless idiot, a useless old fart with no purpose in life other to fuck itself up his ass with a chainsaw.
Now please, either provide facts and engage in meaningful conversation, or I shall taunt you a second time; failing to do either - maybe because you're just too stupid - you may proceed and cut your veins. No one will care.
If to rephrase:
Anonymity is by choice, stupidity is by nature
Wait are you the Daren Ritter that cant get the touch pad working on your dumpy dildo edition of unbuntu, when it worked on the prior vulgar vagina edition? Then you also comment on your twitter +/- a few days that said dumpy dildo distro appears stable?
So wait... That makes you a liar AND a retard.
So you basciaclly agree with every hater here, only you are too dishonest to admit it, and too stupid to realize that when something (fundamental none the less) worked before, and does not work now, that precludes the possibility that it is "stable".
All you need to do now is make some stupid ass comment about "ethics" and Microsoft and the fosstard label applies to you!
Wonder why Bill Beebe was able to guarantee that if PJ "comes out in the open" that Linux Hater will crawl out from under his rock the "next day"?

OMG, the complexity of the world seems to be too big for the average freetard. In their little world it works like that:
hate linux --> love MS
hate linux --> Republitard
hate linux --> your a n00b
choice of anonimity --> chicken
linux is broken --> awesome
finishing a job --> Republitard
MS/Apple/Google/BSD stuff works --> head in the sand.
little python knowledge --> h4x0r #1
ls -l | sed (or grep) x --> h4x0r #1
Now do you get the meaning of the neologism "freetard"?
Is Linux Hater Bill Beebe?
Here is Bill, ranting like the fat fuck he is:
"So here's my challenge to the Lundumb. You get PJ to come out in the open, and the very next day Linux Hater will follow suit. But until such time as that happens, Lundumb should just keep his opinions about cowardice under his hat."
D'oh!
I knew you were an idiot, but it never occured to me that you were a Bill Beebe caliber idiot!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
"This place looks like one of those Republitard chat rooms full of ridge browed inbreds!"
Exactly what I was thinking.
You can almost hear the banjos.
Lets see, denial about current status, and how it got there, and what needs to happen to get out of this situation. Uncertain if that is even possible. While detached from the common public (the great unwashed center as opposed to the activists)feel about their brand. No real clue as to how to contue, or how to reverse the current slide. Increasingly refered to as a pariah by the center.
Luminaries and activists saying things that are harful to the brand, on an almost daily basis.
People joke about its status and increasingly refer to it as a dead end.
Even the most ardent activist, not to mention horeds of former memeber of this group lament its current state. Don't think there is any way to fix.
The activists say things that are utterly delusional with regards to current status, and future direction.
And I talking about Fosstards or Republicans? You decide.
"OMG, the complexity of the world seems to be too big for the average freetard. In their little world it works like that:"
Apparently the complexity of English is more than the hapless HaterTard who wrote the above can handle.
This place is one short bus full of drooling scoolboys isn't it?
lol
Heh, the fosstards keeps calling us names.
It seems you have forfeited all attempts at coherence, and resorted to name calling.
Does your precious little Ubuntu works with either nVidia, Intel or AMD video cards yet? Is the sound layer fixed? the backward and forward compatibility? Printing? Wi-fi? Can you do anything useful with your software except masturbation and beta testing?
Oh, that's right, you cannot, and won't be able to in the near to medium to far future. Why? because your development model is a failure.
No go back to your mother's basements and ask her for some comfort sex, you pimply overweight, socially inept, reason impaired sons of whores.
And no, English is not my native language, so go fuck yourselves in advance. With a chainsaw, up your ass.
Anonimity has been used for centuries in satirical writing.
Now, without comparing the two (even if LH writing skills are amazing), do you know that many Rabelais writings were anonymous? For those that don't know, they are the biggest attack to religious obscurantism ever made in the history (by a religious person, BTW).
The author, besides being one of the biggest figure in French literature, was a key element(and with his real face) within the rennaissance humanism movement.
I've seen more republican (hysterical refuse of reasonable discussion, religious views, personal attacks, desire of conquering the world, if you mean that) attitude in FLOSS circles than everywhere else.
I don't like MS monopoly at all, but FLOSS attitude sucks and it's worst, in the sense that at least MS is a company, so they have to follow the money. FLOSS agressivity is free. As in fascism.
@May 21, 2009 5:59 AM
English is not my native language, so no problem in admitting that. Could you now please move your attack to the points I made?
Interesting strategy... The fosstards were just repeatedly schooled, and your reply seems to be along the lines of a discussion on that short bus, "Nuh Uh! I know you are but what am I!"
I guess thats means you got nothing left, except last post itis.
"Even the most ardent activist, not to mention horeds of former memeber of this group lament its current state. Don't think there is any way to fix."
Well, my pointy headed little HaterTard, perhaps it would help if illiterate mouth breathers like you stopped torturing English with your witless ruminating here.
Also, if Linux Hater hired someone who knows something about technology and could write about it without devolving into a 12 year old boy, that might help.
Who am I kidding? There is no hope for the HaterTards, although you have been amusing once in a while.
"Heh, the fosstards keeps calling us names."
Thank God you are too mature and dignified to indulge in such behavior!
I mean, except for "freetard", "fosstard" etc ad nauseam
If it was your turn to use the brain, I think you forgot to turn it on.
Once again, name calling without contents.
You may call me whatever you want, as long as you substantiate your claims. Give proofs, cite sources, demonstrate a counterpoint, and than I may have some respect for you.
Since you've proven yourself to be an idiot, you've rightfully earned the title of fosstard.
Is the chainsaw running? Your anus is waiting.
Well, my pointy headed little HaterTard, perhaps it would help if illiterate mouth breathers like you No, sorry, you attacked the english of MY post (the one with the list of sillogisms x --> y etc), and now you show me a bad english found in another post.
Should I point you to the thousands examples of "I don't read/I dont understand well, but I attack" found on this blog, posted by freetards?
You are not stupid, this is clear, but stay on the topic, please. Anyway, three answers, and you didn't provide yet any fact.
"You may call me whatever you want, as long as you substantiate your claims."
Okay, you are a sick, deviant, anally fixated HaterTard hypocrite.
Need proof? Consider these quotes from you:
"Is the chainsaw running? Your anus is waiting."
and:
"Since you've proven yourself to be an idiot, you've rightfully earned the title of fosstard."
after having written:
"Once again, name calling without contents."
It's like watching someone step on the same rake over and over again!
I knew Linux Hater was an idiot, but his fawning minions are like some new breed of SuperTard!
Dear freetards. Stop talking trash and deliver.
Make your system worth using and don't let your users down. Let people make a few honest $ with your system, and drop your religous freedom crusade.
Go fix the Intel drivers as a starter. Let me work with my OpenGL applications without having to turn Compiz off first. Let me watch my bluray discs, and give me a decent video editor.
Until then, just promise not to break my system every 6 months. Feel free to test your packages before actually releasing them.
Ok buddy, now relax and stop this crap.
Please.
You think that if I discuss about anonimity, danger of too easy sillogisms in floss culture, I'm the same person that writes "Is the chainsaw running? Your anus is waiting."
?
Look: me, you, the anus guy we are all "anonymous said..." people, but first, you mixed two different posts, insulting english skills. Me, I can recognize your writing even if we are all anonymous.
After three answers to you, I got an idea about your mentality, I didn't have any prejudice. You are exactly demonstrating the hystery of too many freetards. Anyway, if you want to discuss here, you are welcome.
It's seems you still don't understand why you're a freetard.
I'll explain myself more slowly, in a faint hope that you will understand. If you don't, well, more lulz for me.
I did not ask for proofs for my deviance, anally or otherwise. That should have been obvious, and if you've failed at that, you do deserve a flaming chainsaw up your anus.
It's seems that you somehow try to defend Linux, FOSS and/ or Lunduke.
Your defense is obviously lacking, since it is centered around name-calling and other useless rhetorical devices.
As you can see, we're all pretty much capable of name calling ourselves, and since you weren't able to conjure a defense that consists of anything else, you've earned all the scorn you deserved.
You probably couldn't understand it either, so I'll try to explain in a way you'll understand:
You've been POWNED.
I no longer have any hope for you, and you should delude yourself that there is any.
Death will be a release for you.
Please try to do it in a funny way, say, a flaming chainsaw and your anus combined, so at least you'll serve some purpose.
@ May 21, 2009 6:51 AM
Well said. Unfortunately true.
(I'm the not-native-english sillogism guy, this remark is for the freetard up there).
News flash: Linpus has apparently fixed linux
"The advantages of using a Linux system include advanced power management, optimized boot and shutdown times, as well as more WiFi and 3G support such as software development kits (SDK) from telecommunication providers, Lim said."
I wonder if something got munged in the translation...
Got many cheap laughs from this TrueBeliever(TM)
See how many times you can spot "GNU" in the post
from
Distributions use gStreamer and/or PulseAudio, etc.. DEB or RPM, etc.. GNOME, Xfce and/or KDE. Because the developers see such software as being superior.
Cute! I thought that distros were using this stuff because it was the only one available...
I told you, they'll start now the new trend, criticizing Linux in a useless way to try to get back some respect lost because of the bullshits they said (and say) for years.
Which brings to a couple of new lines:
linux hater --> troll
criticizing linux technically, socially, with facts --> troll
saying not so focused things against linux, repeating the obvious but writing gnu somewhere and putting in the first line "Linux is the best, but..." --> cool
BTW, the "russian list" didn't get any attention from lunduke and co. Sure it starts with "I love Linux", but is detailed and serious.
Head in the sand, again?
"I did not ask for proofs for my deviance, anally or otherwise. That should have been obvious"
Okay, your deviance and anal fixation is obvious. I concur.
"you do deserve a flaming chainsaw up your anus."
Okay, I get it - you constantly obsess about anal chainsaw rape.
"It's seems that you somehow try to defend Linux, FOSS and/ or Lunduke."
Really? Provide the quotes that lead you to say that. What? You can't find any? Listen moron: I don't need to "defend" anything. Linux doesn't require me to "defend" it, especially from the likes of you. Nor does "FOSS" or Lunduke, who has done a great job of revealing your hero Linux Hater as a spineless, cowardly thumb sucker!
"Your defense is obviously lacking, since it is centered around name-calling and other useless blah blah blah etc"
Again: what "defense" are you yammering about? What? You're talking out of your ass? I guess for an anally fixated deviant such as yourself that should come as no surprise! As for "name calling", isn't that Linux Hater's thing? Sure, he borrowed his schtick from smarter people, but he's better at it than his witless minions are!
"As you can see, we're all pretty much capable of name calling ourselves"
Well, if you think that repeating the names your retard hero uses on his blog makes you "capable", then who am I to burst your bubble?
"and since you weren't able to conjure a defense that consists of anything else, you've earned all the scorn you deserved."
Again: where is this "defense" you keep whining about?
Also "you've earned all the scorn you deserved"? Is that supposed to make sense? And what "scorn"? Your inadvertently hilarious gibbering? A couple of hypocritical HaterTards calling me feeble names someone else made up for them between carrying on about anal chainsaw rape? Some witless kid who I have driven into a frothing frenzy telling me that I have been "pwned"?
I guess it's true: the HaterTards have evolved into some sort of mutant SuperTard!
Who needs to "defend" anything from the likes of you? I'd rather have a few belly laughs at your expense, like I have already had here today.

LOOK! There's the MOBLIN RC ready to download! So fast! Yesterday the beta and today the RC! COOL! Don't waste your time here with M$ slaves.
ssssh, (whispering) it's not true, but maybe he'll go somewhere else for a couple of hours. BTW he didn't reply to my points, even if he quoted my comment. sigh, or should I feel honoured?
Got many cheap laughs from this TrueBeliever(TM)
God, he can't even get out of the second paragraph without throwing up distraction tactics like "Linux" vs. "GNU/Linux". And then he launches into a strawman with the claim that "insane" Linux Hater will only use commercial software and believes any usage of GNU/Linux is "wrong". While Linux Hater may believe that, nothing in his posts indicate such. Furthermore, us truly sane people don't box ourselves in the corner with arbitrary absolutes like, "I resolve to use only GNU and everything else is terrorist anti-freedom".
Then he goes back to semantics and the predictable "I think AppX is better than AppY" choice/freedom merry-go-round we've all suffered for 20 years. WantToBelieve(TM) indeed.
"I don't need to "defend" anything.".
Only a fool would try to defend that mess, and clearly you are no fool.
A yammering baboon with all the wit of a dribbling 8 year old with FAS, yes, but no fool.
Well, Linux needs no defense from the like of me.
What are you doing on this blog, than?
Got something to share? About your anus, a chainsaw, and your childhood memories?
At least try to be creative. You've been quite boring so far.
What are you doing on this blog, then?
FTFY, English Master.
I can speak for myself: I used Linux and I felt in love for the idea of an alternative. I even liked the FSF culture, at the beginning. After 7 years trying to use linux for my job, spending countless hours learning how to fix broken things, filing bugs, joining mailing lists, I literally needed for someone, much more expert than me, who was saying aloud what's wrong with Linux.
Then I found this blog.
At first I felt that only few of his rants were right, even if all were really funny to read.
I wanted to defend Linux, even when it was impossible.
Later, reading more carefully and questioning myself, I went to the conclusion that LH is really right, unfortunately. But you know, it was also the fact that this blog was partly positively reviewed by Linux-foss big names, that convinced me even more.
Linux needs more true haters, not "MStards", if they exist (I believe there are really few people around that hate Linux only because they think Ballmer is a genius).
If you don't trust me, maybe you'll trust *your* ESR, which, btw, is far from admit the slightest mistake in his bazaar concept.
In this blog, thanks to the commenters, I actually learnt the strenght and the weakness of all OSs, or at least I got a different point of view, compared to the mainstream IT journalism. Yes, nowadays is Linux that suffers from the lack of objective criticism from the press.
I'd like to see Linux supporters arguing on the technical side against LH's arguments. Claiming superiority is not defending Linux. Saying "linux needs no defense" is not an argument.
BTW, unless one is 12, admitting the mistakes is a proof of strenght. Changing broken things in practice and reality, is a proof of wisdom and care. The lack of all that can be easily called, in a synthetic and funny way, "freetardism". One can hate Linux in words (but providing facts!), other people are simply harmful to Linux, lost in their egos, lack of a common target, fanatism and no interest for the average user.
So far they were really few freetards that discussed things in detail (Oiaohm, compared to Lunduke and others, you deserve a lot of respect on that).
Can you now say (seriously) what are you doing on this blog?
Nobody knows anything about the term "Winchot"?
It's a spanish language thing, AFAIK. I asked a friend and I'm waiting an answer!
I'm in it for the lulz.
The vast majority of fosstards are extremely easy target, since they zealously believe something that can hardly be defended. That's part of the reason they revert ad-hominem so early into the argument.
xo xo xo
Chainsaw anal rape guy.
Holy God, that Lludkrab guy's blogpost. Hilarity top to bottom, starting with calling out LH for hating on Linux and not GNU/Linux, proceding to not address or even quote a single statement of LH's, and finishing up with a multi-paragraph restatement of the GNU manifesto. It turns out that using computers isn't about doing things with computers, or using computers to make your life better, it's about "freedom". So what if you can't print, at least you're not using The Man's print driver, and that's what really counts! The only thing missing is a supercomputer reference.
He's also the kind of desperate-for-attention type who responds to every other poster in his comment section. And he sure does love his "clever" "scare" "quotes"!
."
Golly, you sound absolutely *vehement* about "GNU/Linux"! And here I thought that the whole point of this blog was ostensibly to point out flaws in Linux for the love of it, and to poke zealots in the eye. Yet you are clearly a zealot who despises not only "GNU/Linux" but "its development model" and "many of its developers"! In fact, so addled are you by your festering, zealous hatred that you are induced to say flagrantly idiotic things like "its failure to deliver anything other than an anti-corporate philosophy"! Hello? What do you think this blog is being served on, brainiac? IIS?! How about the Mars rover? What OS do you think runs it? Vista? How about the most powerful computers on the planet? What OS are they running? XP Home Basic? Who is Red Hat's biggest customer? Hint: it starts with "US" and ends with "Army". How do you reconcile the increasing ubiquity of Linux with such retarded statements as "failure to deliver anything other than an anti-corporate philosophy"?
Clearly, you are having a problem coming to grips with reality.
I'll say it again: I knew that Linux Hater is an idiot*, but his fawning, uncomprehending minions are clearly a whole new breed of SuperTard!
*Your presence here vindicates that assessment.
You're claiming the Mars Rover runs on Linux? Come on.
"You're claiming the Mars Rover runs on Linux? Come on."
*sigh*
.
The RSVP System
Our software, a suite of applications called the Rover Sequencing and Visualization Program (RSVP), was developed, tested and deployed on Linux. RSVP gives MER's engineers and scientists sophisticated tools for commanding Mars rovers."
My wang's a little sore. I boned some freetard's mom last night while he was busy in the basement playing with Linbuntu Arch Mint.
>Rover Sequencing and Visualization Program
Yeah? Can you apt-get that? I only see a bazillion text editors in the Ubuntu repository.
"My wang's a little sore"
Not to worry. With advancements in penis enlargement surgery, you could be packing a rock hard 2 or 3 inches!
Oh my God, multi-billion dollar corporation creates an in-house ultra-specific use for Linux which clearly translates to a win on the desktop.
The Mars Rover uses VxWorks OS
NASA uses Linux for some of its servers, which is fine and dandy.
Most (if not all of us), criticize Linux as a Desktop OS.
Kudos on providing a reference, you might just start losing the tard suffix.
On the other hand, you failed do distinguish between server, desktop, and embedded OSs.
EverythingIsTheSame(TM).
* sigh *
Flaming chainsaws it is.
Oh, so now we're redefining what the Rover is. I wasn't aware it consisted of giant brick SGI servers. Here I thought it needed room for stuff like solar panels.
I mention the supercomputer argument, and in the very next post, some Lintard starts ranting about how supercomputers run Linux and not Vista Home. Amazing. You're as predictable and constant as the sun rising in the east. Don't ever change, Lintards.
Ahahahah, hackers switching to windows7
Look at the comments, inspiring...
Oh my God, multi-billion dollar corporation creates an in-house ultra-specific use for Linux which clearly translates to a win on the desktop.
ditto.
To the other guy, you are only few days late for the GoogleIsLinux(tm) and related.
It was discussed for few days in the second page of comments here (comments from 201 to 400):
And from LH perspective, read here:
(BTW, happy birthday (even if late) to the Linux Hater's blog and readers-commenters!)
Bring some new argument to the subject. Anyway you are probably new (if you didn't read the previous LH post and comments), welcome, and, as you see, bringing a reference to arguments is considered here. Exactly as in real world.
"Golly [blahblahsameoldfreetardedstuff]...
*Your presence here vindicates that assessment."
LOL!
If I said you were off base on your knee-jerk assessment, would you even bother to read it, or would you rather continue to flog the tired old party line of Clusters and LAMP?
I guess my comment, which consisted of nothing more than several of the core themes of What Is Wrong With Linux, touched a nerve or three, didn't it?
That's okay, son. Someday you'll realize when you're being baited.
About the same time your testies drop and you start to think that girls are more fun than getting excited over an OS that is doomed to be an also-ran on the desktop. No matter how many clusters it runs, it's still a clusterfuck on the desktop.
No hard feelings.

Synopsis: Tarleton State enters the weekend with a 9-6 overall record and is 3-5 in Lone Star Conference play, sitting among three teams tied for sixth. The Texans have been tough at Wisdom Gym, posting a 9-2 mark in 2012-13, but have struggled on the road as Tarleton State is 0-4 in road games. The Texans are coming off a 65-50 victory over West Texas A&M on Saturday which snapped a four-game Lone Star Conference losing streak.
Series Information: A&M-Commerce and Tarleton State meet for the 56th time Saturday afternoon as the Lions hold a 29-26 edge in the all-time series. However it has been the Texans that have had the upper hand in recent years, bringing a five-game winning streak into the Field House Saturday afternoon as Tarleton State is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. A&M-Commerce's last victory in the series was an 85-67 win in Stephenville in 2008-09, with the last victory in Commerce coming in a 72-52 decision in 2007-089. Head coach Sam Walker has posted an 8-13 mark against the Texans in his career and is 4-5 against Tarleton State at the Field House.
The Week That Was
A&M-Commerce went 1-1 this past week, opening with a 67-53 loss at West Texas A&M on Wednesday. As had been the case in recent games, the Lions found themselves in an early deficit in the first half and were unable to complete the comeback. The 53 points was the second-lowest output of the season for A&M-Commerce as no Lions finished in double figures. Andrew Davis and Stefon Carson led A&M-Commerce with nine points each as Davis added eight rebounds as four other Lions finished with six points on the night. A&M-Commerce was able to reverse the trend on Saturday against Eastern New Mexico, racing out to a 23-4 lead in the first half then holding off a late Greyhound rally to earn the 84-77 victory, its 11th-straight win over Eastern New Mexico. Devondrick Walker led the way with 17 points for the Lions with Davis and Quince Jackson each adding 10 on the afternoon, complemented by nine rebounds for Davis.
Whitley Becomes Newest Member of Lion 1,000 Point Club
While the Lions suffered a defeat at West Texas A&M on January 16th, it marked a milestone night for senior forward Preston Whitley. The Frisco native finished with six points against the Buffs, upping his career total to 1,001 points and becoming the latest member of the Lion 1,000-point club. The 2009-10 LSC North Division Freshman of the Year, Whitley leads A&M-Commerce with 219 points this season, averaging 14.6 points per game while sitting second in free throw percentage (75.6%) and third in three-point field goal percentage (37.8%). He is averaging 10.9 points per game for his Lion career, suiting up in 92 games for A&M-Commerce, and becomes the second player in as many years to join the exclusive club, joining former teammate Brad Hambrick who accomplished the feat during the 2011-12 season.
Carson Emerging as Spark For Lions
When senior guard Stefon Carson rejoined the team this past season, it provided a spark the Lions had been looking for. Heading into the weekend, Carson ranks among the top-three on the club in six statistical categories, including leading the Lions in minutes played (533). Carson ranks second in points (200), points per game (11.1) and steals (26) while ranking third in free throw percentage (73.8%) and assists (52). The senior from Decatur, Ill., has also notched a pair of single-game bests, including his 26-point performance in the win at Southern Arkansas on Dec. 19th.
N'doye Electifies Crowd in Victory Over Greyhounds
Senior center Abdoulaye N'doye has emerged as one of the fan favorites in his two seasons in Commerce as the 7-0 center from Dakar, Senegal had his best outing of the season in the win over Eastern New Mexico. While he played just six minutes, N'doye recorded three blocks against the Greyhounds, then had arguably his most memorable moment in a Lion uniform, connecting on a perfectly timed alley-oop dunk from Devondrick Walker as A&M-Commerce pulled away in the second half against the Greyhounds.
Keeping An Eye on Allen
We are just over a month away from the start of the 2013 Lone Star Conference Basketball Championships at the Allen Event Center. The top eight teams from both the men and women standings qualify, beginning with the quarterfinals on March 6th and 7th, followed by the semifinals on March 8th and the finals on March 9th. If the tournament were to begin today, the Lions would be the fifth seed and would face fourth-seeded Texas A&M-Kingsville in the final quarterfinal session on Thursday, March 7th. Tickets for the tournament are now available by visiting the LSC Championship Tournament Central link at LoneStarConference.org.
A&M-Commerce Among Lone Star Conference Leaders
With the 2012-13 conference schedule reaching the halfway point, A&M-Commerce continues to rank among the Lone Star Conference leaders in a number of categories. As a team, the Lions lead the LSC in defensive rebounds (26.6 rpg) while sitting second in points per game (76.0), rebounding (38.4 rpg) and assists (15.6 apg), third in steals (7.5 spg) and fourth in free throw percentage (67.6%) and three-point field goal percentage (36.4%).
Lions Among Lone Star Conference Top-10
With the 2012-13 season back in full swing, a number of Lions continue to make their marks on the Lone Star Conference leaderboard. Five different A&M-Commerce hoopsters rank among the individual top-10 in eight different categories, led by Andrew Davis, who ranks first in defensive rebounds, third in rebounds per game and fourth in field goal percentage. Jason Smith and Tyrie Wooten also rank among the LSC leaders in a pair of categories as Smith ranks seventh in field goal percentage and ninth in offensive rebounds while Wooten sits ninth in both three pointers made and assist to turnover ratio. Preston Whitley (points per game) and Devondrick Walker (free throw percentage) round out the Lions among the conference leaders.
Looking Ahead
A&M-Commerce opens up the second half of the 2012-13 Lone Star Conference schedule, playing the second half of the home-and-home series against Tarleton State on Saturday, February 2nd. The Lions make the trip to Stephenville, tipping off against the Texans at Wisdom Gym at 7 p.m.

The Bisons had won two games Friday night as they earned the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.
In the final game of the regular season the Bisons continued their hot hitting, but managed only seven runs on 14 hits. ETSU answered with 13 hits. The Bisons were also plagued by four errors.
Senior right-hander Charles Williams (1-7) made his first start of the season in an Atlantic Sun series. He pitched five innings and allowed five hits and eight runs, only one earned. He also walked three and struck out three. Freshman right-hander Davey Hackett pitched one inning and gave only one hit. Senior reliever Kyle Tognazzini closed out the game. In two innings he scattered seven hits and gave up six runs, all earned. He walked one and struck out three.
The Bisons jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Andrew Nickerson hit a double to center field to open the inning. Chandler Wicks followed with a single to center that scored Nickerson. Allen Bolden hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring Wicks home.
ETSU answered with seven runs in the third inning and one in the fourth.
The Bisons came back with four in the sixth. Wicks and Clay Lehning both walked to start the inning. Channing Brown drove in Wicks with a single to left. With one out Bolden hit a single to right field to score Lehning. Branden Cadavid singled up the middle to plate Brown. Justin Sanders singled through the right side to score Bolden.
In the eighth the Bisons added one more run when Sanders singled to right field. He brought in Bolden who had reached based on a fielding error by the second baseman.
ETSU, which had four home runs in the game, finished the game strong offensively with four runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth.
Sanders led with a game-high five hits which was also a season-high for the Bisons. Cadavid and Brown added three hits each. It was the first multi-hit game of the season for Brown.
The Bisons are 23-31, 17-13 in the A-Sun. ETSU is 24-27, 10-20 in the conference.

Each part of this dessert was very easy to prepare. For the sorbet, rhubarb was chopped and cooked with sugar and water until tender. That was pureed with strawberries, chilled, and churned into sorbet in my ice cream maker. The next day, I made the custard for ice cream with whole milk, sugar, cream, a vanilla bean, six egg yolks, and vanilla extract. I’ve tried a few different recipes for vanilla ice cream, and I can now gauge how delicious the result will be based on the number of egg yolks used. Six is a lovely number of egg yolks for vanilla ice cream, and it was very delicious. The compote was a simple mix of chopped rhubarb, red wine, sugar, honey, a cinnamon stick, and ground cloves. That combination was simmered until the rhubarb was cooked and the sauce reduced, and then I stored it in the refrigerator. Before serving, I brought the compote back to room temperature. The last item was the cookie. The dough was made from mostly butter but also confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup, bread flour, and chopped pecans. Once mixed, it was rolled into a log, wrapped in parchment paper, and chilled. Pieces were sliced from the dough log and baked on silpat-lined sheet pans. I quickly learned that these cookies spread even more than you would think. The dough log I created was a little big, and I ended up cutting each slice in half before baking. The shape of the dough doesn’t matter so much because it spreads into a circle regardless while baking. The cookies baked into lacy and somewhat fragile wafers of buttery crunch.
I ended up with just what I wanted for flavors, textures, fruit, and nuts, but I had no idea how to make it look nice on a plate. Should I have put the compote on the bottom, drizzled it on top, or placed it to the side? What about the cookie? I couldn’t decide how to position it either. It could have been the platform on which everything else sat, or it could have rested on top like a lacy veil over the frozen scoops, or it could have sat in a more vertical pose. I played with the plating and snapped the photos seen here well before dinner time. Then, when it was time for dessert, my final plating decision was to set out a buffet of sorts and invite everyone to help themselves. Problem solved.

let me say this as clear as possible: I WANT THIS!
Rhubarb was perfect to serve to "Irish" folks. I loved the spiced compote and your cookies. And of course the ice cream and sorbet. Thanks again!
This looks nice and refreshing!
What a splendid and seasonal dessert! I'd love some of that now...
Cheers,
Rosa
Sounds so refreshing and looks very pretty too Lisa!
Nice! I love the rhubarb in the sorbet and in the compote - delicious!
The color is beautiful!
It's rhubarb season. I must try me some this year!!!! I. MUST.
Love the lacy cookie. I think you made a wonderful presentation.
Your desserts always look "show stopping". What a great way to use spring rhubarb!
Wow, this is amazing. Have a wonderful weekend.
i LOVE the different shades of red and pink in this dessert! and your brittle cookie is the perfect final touch, both in plating and eating--well done!
I have been on a huge rhubarb kick lately...have to eat it up while it's in season! Or freeze some. Hmmmm....
This dessert looks delicious! All of your little finishing touches (i.e. the brittle cookie, sauce, etc.) make it look like something a gourmet restaurant would serve.
I've been flirting with the idea of getting an ice cream machine, and your post is not helping me resist.... :-)
Wonderful!
Rhubarb is in season! Nicely presented.
Ha, Lisa I love this plant, and had a client who used to bring in so much of it for me to cook for him, not just pies, but with beet greens and spices...love this!
You might find some humor in a piece I wrote about a rhubarb experience
Hope it makes you smile...
Lisa, this is a dessert I would serve at the restaurant where I work, it looks delicious! I have some rhubarb I couldn't resist buying so I might they the sorbet, it sounds delicious!
Well done!
Absolutely divine dessert, your picture looks so awesome, I am drooling!
So Lisa. "I'll just whip up some ice cream and then make 47 other things to go with it". :) Beautiful as always.
Man, I wish I have the opportunity to attend your dinner party, this just sounds incredible. I love rhubarb and strawberries, possibly one of my favorite flavor parings. Just incredible and I think your plating looks gorgeous!
Oh I love strawberries. I am going to have to make this sometimes. Looks tasty!
oh, beautiful, beautiful. I wonder if I could already find some rhubarb here. I will definitely try the sorbet. I'm making a noch on my ice-cream maker as I type this :D
You created a beautiful dessert! I especially loved that cookie with these crunchy pecans, yum! and the plating was done fine, it looks great!
A divine dessert, Lisa!!
Beautiful & lovely flavours beautifully combined here!
MMMMMMMMMMM,...excellent food!
Gorgeous! It looks like something you'd get a fancy restaurant - well done!
omg! what a beautiful dessert...so fancy and elegant....great flavors.
Great solution to a presentation problem, lol... Whatever the look of the plate, the dish itselfs looks delicious!

Yes that is what I'm thinking... I just didn't know it was restricted to
template name and not the "default" template.

The only attributes you can change on the built-in styles are in Tools -
Options - Writer - Basic fonts. When changing them, all new documents based
on the default template will carry the changes.
If we offer Avantgarde.ott as one document template (among others), that is
ok for me. To offer it as default template is another story.

To keep everyone up to date (Andrew already knows this): I was wrong, everyone else was right. The flat backend has a bug in it that if a given seen file frequently reuses the same inode (as will happen frequently on lightly loaded systems) you run into this strange behavior with seen state between sessions. I believe I've fixed this bug in CVS (did it a few days ago, actually) and it'll be in the next release.

If you examine cyrusdb_flat, you'll see that "fetch()" calls "starttxn_or_refetch()", which either locks the file and makes sure we have the latest version or (if it's in a non-transactional read) makes sure it's reasonably up to date.

ARIN-PPML Message
[ppml] Policy Proposal 2007-27 - Staff Assessment
- From: Member Services (info at arin.net)
- Date: Fri Mar 21 14:48:33 EDT 2008
- Next message: [ppml] Revised 2007-14
- Previous message: [ppml] Policy Proposal 2007-17 - Staff Assessment
Policy Proposal 2007-27 Title: Cooperative distribution of the end of the IPv4 free pool Proposal Submitted: Nov 20, 2007 Date of Assessment: Mar Staff understands that this policy will establish a mechanism for the allocation of IPv4 address blocks between RIR's once the IANA global pool of addresses has been depleted. III. Issues and concerns A. ARIN Staff 1. This policy would have to adopted as an Inter-RIR policy and would have to remain the same in each region for it to work properly. 2. There is no way of reliably predicting when an RIR is within 30 days of depleting their remaining pool of IPv4 addresses since this is dependent upon the number and size of the resource requests they receive. 3. This policy would require constant monitoring of the available IPv4 inventory of all the RIRs. To be timely, a software tool would need to be developed that monitored all RIR available IPv4 inventory and produced a daily report. This same tool would need to be used by all 5 of the RIRs for consistency and accuracy. 4. When the recipient RIR approaches the source RIR for a 3 month supply of addresses, will fees be charged to the recipient RIR? 5. It is likely that AfriNIC and LACNIC will be the two RIRs who typically would have the largest inventory of IPv4 at any given time since they currently allocate address space at a slow rate and in lessor amounts than the other three RIRs. If the three larger RIRs consistently approach them for address space, it is likely that their remaining supply will quickly dwindle. 6. If one RIR will be required to review requests from another region, all such requests must be made in an agreed upon common language. 7. Process and procedures training may be required for those parties making requests to an RIR in a region other than their own. 8. If the source RIR reviews and approves requests from the recipient RIR’s customers, there are likely to be business, legal, and other administrative issues that arise. For example: - Which RIR would the requestor pay? - In what currency would the fee paid? - Which RIR would have to report the registration fee as income? - Which RIR would the requestor sign a contract with? - Which RIR would maintain the record? - Will the requestor become a member of the source RIR and if so, will they be required to pay an annual fee to the source RIR? B. ARIN General Counsel Counsel sees no significant legal or litigation issues related to this policy. IV. Resource Impact – Major The resource impact of implementing this policy is viewed as major. Barring any unforeseen resource requirements, this policy could be implemented within 180 days from the date of the ratification of the policy by the ARIN Board of Trustees. It would also be dependent upon the policy being adopted in all other RIRs. • Tracking tool with built in metrics needed to attempt to estimate the 30 day depletion mark • Survey needs to be created to ask other RIR to estimate their remaining available space • Inter RIR coordination process needs to be established for this process of surveying and follow up actions. • New guidelines • Staff training Respectfully submitted, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ##*## Annex A Policy Proposal 2007-27 Cooperative distribution of the end of the IPv4 free pool Author: Tony Hain Date: 20 November

Ok, just for the record: please don't let this get held up by wrangling over how to type the tags. It doesn't matter: GoogleNotebook Zotero Google Notebook, Zotero "Google Notebook" Zotero ... It's just not important. All of those are equally good at organizing and search. What's important is the ability to organize things this way, and there's no way you'll ever get complete agreement from everyone on the specifics of how they should be typed in :-p -- Joel On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 2:55 AM, Jan Regent <jan.regent at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all > > Robin wrote: > >but I don't like the use of spaces as separators.

My interpretation of the test results didn't take into account the unstable/experimental interaction mentioned in another part of this thread. Once that has been sorted out, I'll retest.

> Group finds SOCOG Olympics website discriminatory In addition to this email, I've just heard on the radio that SOCOG is complaining that it'll be too expensive and difficult for them to fix the site before the Olympics begin. So, everyone who thinks this kinda shit *won't* happen to them, think again. Take the simple steps to making your site accessible in the first place, and you won't be forced to endure the resulting problems later. isaac

What web server are you running on the Windows machine? And more important can you run php, I mean do you have the php module if IIS? Below recommendations are based on PHP. XHTML valid and syndication - WordPress, see the site in signature; it's all made with WordPress and a few plug-ins (not XHTML valid for the moment due to some code in the banner code, will change that somehow). But WordPress it's a pretty simple and lightweight Blogging system, not quite a CMS, but he does its job well. Since you are interested in syndication automatic pinging of services like my yahoo, technorati, my msn etc etc would interest you. It has this feature. I'd second the opinion on drupal. It's a goof CMS. Also if are looking for a heavy, enterprise level CMS, take a look at typo3. It's complex, well documented and has the precision of the Germans ;-). Or are you looking for ASP/ASP.NET CMS?

Hi, I just came by an interesting interview on Microsoft's Channel9 where the host interviews the engineers behind the Windows7 audio architecture and actually they provide some nice insights about how the audio card is driven from user-space and how things are put in place to reduce latency and improve the overall streaming performance. The video is available at: for download in various formats. Here is a direct download URL: . Regards, Ilyes Gouta.

Do you know the assumptions needed for RischNormalize? I do not know what problems with variables you see here (I am aware of tread about Polynomial Expression Integer, but I think it is a separate problem). The problem I mention really boils down to definition of roots (in praticular square root): some field computations treat roots just as a particular case of field extension. So root is an abstract quantity fully characterized by its defining polynomial. But numerical functions and some real algorithms do care which of the roots is chosen. We should systematically distinguish both kinds of extensions. When convertion from "real" extension to "agebraic" in may be wise to keep extra info around so that we can convert back without loss of information. When converting from "agebraic" extension to a "real" one we need to do a case split (here conditional expressions would be usefull). RischNormalize tries to implement Risch structure theorem: ------<start TeX> \begin{theo}\label{rischstr1} Let $K$ be a differential field with derivative $D$ and field of constants $k$. Assume that elements $z_j\in K$, $y_j\in K$ satisfy ${{Dz_j}\over{z_j}} = Dy_j$, $j = 1,\dots,n$. Then either transcendental degree of $k(x, y_1,\dots, y_n, z_1,\dots, z_n)$ is greater or equal to $n+1$ or elements $Dy_1,\dots, Dy_n$ are linearly dependent over rational numbers. \end{theo} \begin{coro}\label{rischstr2} Let $K$ be a differential field with $D$. Assume that elements $z_j\in K$, $y_j\in K$ satisfy ${{Dz_j}\over{z_j}} = Dy_j$, $j = 1,\dots,n$ and that $K$ is algebraic over $k(x, y_1,\dots, y_n, z_1,\dots, z_n)$. Also assume that ${{Dz_{n+1}}\over{z_{n+1}}} = Dy_{n+1}$ and $y_{n+1}\in K$. Then either $z_{n+1}$ is transcendental over $K$, or there are rational numbers $q_j$ such that $$Dy_{n+1} = \sum_{j = 1}^{n}q_jDy_j.$$ In the second case $z_{n+1} = c\prod_{j = 1}^{n}z_j^{q_j}$, where $c$ is a constant. ----<end TeX> so basic assumption is that we are given a computable field of constants. But rischNormalize uses operations implemented by other domains to perform actual computuations, so there are extra assumptions. One is that if an expression does not depend on a kernel (which is checked using derivatives) simplifier should eliminate this kernel from the expression. For example representing 'y' as 'x - x + y' is legal for computable fields, but rischNormalize would not tolerate such representation. Of course, since expressions are represented as rational functions of kernels such simple problem can not happen in Axiom. But (sqrt(2)*sqrt(3)-sqrt(6))*exp(x) already hints towards possible problems. -- Waldek Hebisch address@hidden

Are these files in fact going to be identical aside from the date stamp in all builds? If so, perhaps like the .elc files in the lisp tree they should be pre-generated for the release and pretest distributions. They definitely should be. I did not realize this was not already the case. Can someone please fix this and ack?

(dolist (subtree (cdddr saved-tree)) (add-to-list 'wtree (cons (if ver (split-window-vertically) (split-window-horizontally)) subtree) t) IMO there's no way around retaining sequence numbers of windows when saving and restoring window trees.

I don't want to start a thorough discussion about our policies - these are just my ad-hoc feelings: - we don't touch anything that requires legal/formal bodies (GSoC was fine because it accepted individuals) - if someone does the work and wins some kind of contest/grant, the money is his and he can do with it anything he wants (for example pay some developer privately to handle some Lily issue). >> I get the sense in a way that the precedent has already been set - if >> someone sees a cool opportunity (GSoC, LoMuS, whatever), email the list to >> call dibs if dibs must be called, make sure no one is opposed, apply, and do >> something fair with the money if money is to be gotten.

I get $5000 (of which i'll spend quite a lot on Lily development, either directly or indirectly), and John Marchesi, GNU admin, gets $500 and gives it to whomever he decides - in our case most probably FSF. cheers, Janek

Hi Andi, during my current WinXP new installation of gnucash I encountered the "wrong openssl version" error message. It turned out that I already have an openssl.exe installed in $MSYS_DIR/bin, together with libssl32.dll et al in the windows/system32 directory. This openssl version has been installed from msysDTK version 1.0.1. I wonder whether we should remove that openssl.exe and DLLs directly after msysDTK installation? Christian

>You know, I've been suspecting that there are certain differences between >the English and the Greek grammatical terminology, which means that I >cannot just translate the Greek terms in English without causing confusion >to you and the other dear gentlemen. Manolis, Rest assured that we "dear gentlemen" even who share English often cause quite a bit of confusion among ourselves with grammatical terminology, especially if the terminology comes from differing linguistic models. I have often wished I were fluent enough in Greek to discuss Greek in Greek. I believe the *best* way to discuss a language is in its own terms. But meanwhile, I want to echo Moon's appreciation for the insights you provide as a mother-tongue speaker of Greek. And thank you for clarifying "analytical." glenn blank Pensacola FL

I don't know much about the placeholder code. It may be that the declared length of @P4 is derived from the data? If so, I don't know who does the inferring. I would think it would be better to derive the length from the table metadata. It must be OK to pass short values; if the column is char(10), it still should be OK to pass 'hello'. No solid answer for you, Charles, sorry. It sure looks like your zero-length parameter data is inducing a char(0) parameter declaration. Respectfully submitted, I think using zero-length strings to circumvent non-null column policy isn't the best practice. You're really saying there's no data for that column (in this row), so NULL accurately reflects reality. Zero-length strings are very mysterious in ad-hoc queries, because it's hard to see nothing. And some versions of TDS can't distinguish between NULL and a zero-length string, meaning that some clients will see a NULL arriving from a (as declared) non-null column. So, fwiw, I think you're better off making your column nullable. And you get to avoid the bug in the bargain. :-) Hope this is of some help. --jkl

The value of useful and dependable friends and community cannot be overemphasized.

[ ] Edson Tirelli commented on JBSEAM-1020: --------------------------------------- Ok, catching up with the thread: 1. I was not able to reproduce the exception in 3.0.5, but I do believe it happens. 3.0.x is not much good in handling unbalanced trees. By that I mean you have an "OR" in your rule where one side of the OR is a Role object and the other side is a User object. That is making the engine to lose itself and trying to use a User declaration/extractor to extract Role attributes. This is a bug that is fixed and working fine in 3.1M1 and later versions. If you can't upgrade to 3.1M1, I strongly suggest you to work around that creating two rules: rule RestrictNodeEditAccess1 no-loop; activation-group "permissions" when c: PermissionCheck(name == "Node", action == "edit"); Node(nodeWriteAccessLevel : writeAccessLevel, nodeCreator : createdBy) Role(userAccessLevel : name -> (Integer.valueOf(userAccessLevel).intValue() >= nodeWriteAccessLevel.intValue()) ) then c.grant(); modify(c); end; rule RestrictNodeEditAccess2 no-loop; activation-group "permissions" when c: PermissionCheck(name == "Node", action == "edit"); Node(nodeWriteAccessLevel : writeAccessLevel, nodeCreator : createdBy) User(authenticatedUserId : id -> (nodeCreator.getId().equals(authenticatedUserId)) ) then c.grant(); modify(c); end; I know this is far from ideal from a rules writer, but it is exactly what the engine does for you behind the scenes (well, at least in 3.1), so no perf implications.... just anoying for those writing the rules. As soon as it is possible to upgrade, you will stop having the problem. 2. Working memory loggers provide for now the most detailed available info of the rule engine internal workings. If that is not enough, it would be good to talk to you guys to understand the requirement and maybe add features that will comply to them. Unfortunatelly, it is not possible for now to know which LHS constraints matched and which didn't match for any given rule. You can know, though, wich rules get matched by what facts on what time, even if the rule is canceled again before firing. Hope it helps and let me know if you want more details about it. I will talk to Michael about your use case and check what we can do to help more. []s Edson >:

I think that speaks volumes about Joerg's commitment to making this a success :-) Also, I must mention that Joerg was very influential on avrdude (then avrprog) when I first wrote it and sent him a copy to use on FreeBSD. He had lots of great ideas and provided much invaluable feedback and bug reports. He was the first to propose "terminal mode" (-t option), wrote the original man page, drew the programmer schematic pdf, and other stuff. I think Joerg is a great asset to any project - I'm just glad he has taken an interest in this one :-) Cheers, -Brian -- Brian Dean address@hidden

You will get that complain every IRIX 6.2 user which uses winterm :-) Notice that I was not that person which was problems. I do not use winterm either. I'm afrain that you can not avoid these complain without be prepared to accept KEY_ENTER also. After all lynx installation can not change terminfo defination, so that is only solution to you. Or you can declare "That is know problem and will not be fixed." :-) / Kari Hurtta

Ok, let's forget attributes. Do you agree with this new one? Tristan.

Well I was talking about the general feel of the community from my experience and POV. Real heavy lifter, in BSD or Linux, are a small minority of the people involved, even of the coders involved.

Ok, the proper way is to catch the SQLException in BIOSQLFeature, test if it is a Dublicate key entry, get the identifier of the term (would that be the BioSQLfeatureId ?) and insert it in the term_relationship table? And there is no nice BioJava method for this, I have to do it "manually", like conn.prepareStatement(..) and stuff? BioJava spoiled me so! Martina

I think that the more important question than, "can I get MapServer to use the personal geodatabase?", is, "what data source will support the efficiency/optimization that my project requires?" Even if you can get the personal geodatabase to work, it may be that it won't perform to meet your needs. Regardless of the data format that data is acquired in, it is often recommended to convert formats or modify the data to optimize it for a Web app. Everything that can be pre-calculated, pre-sorted, indexed, etc. before the user clicks the button will make the Web app faster. The vector data optimization page is a little lean, but it is here: I am thinking that even if you can get MapServer to read the personal geodatabase, you will want to convert it to shapefile (or PostGIS if you need the relational database). You can then add spatial and attribute indexes, pre-calculate symbol classes, create a tileindex if needed, etc. David. You have to love government agencies that distribute in proprietary file formats! -----Original Message----- From: mapserver-users-bounces at lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-bounces at lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Chuck Jungmann Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 11:47 AM To: Dan Little Cc: mapserver-users at lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] PGeo (Personal Geodatabases) options under Linux Responding to both of your comments: My client regularly acquires a database of property maps from a county. The database is a ESRI Personal Database. An employee of my client has been converting this database (and others like it) to MapX files for running on MapXtreme (on Windows, as you observed). I understand it to be a rather involved process. On the subject of creating a shape file from the PGeo file: one of the layer tables has almost 200,000 records. That's just for the parcel outlines. I also would need to add the text labels and other outlines as well. That would make for an unwieldy shape file. In fact, I think that employee mentioned above actually does combine the shapes into 9 MapX layers that I have been combining for display. The combined MAP files come to 221.3MB, and 351.6 MB for all layer files. I am exploring the possibility of delivering the same web application using open source software, including MapServer, on Linux. I was hoping to use the database as delivered, because it would save time and effort. Although it looked like it should have been possible to display layers from the PGeo file, I haven't had any luck. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out if I could apply some patch, looking for insufficient buffers that I could lengthen, etc., but have pretty much come to the conclusion that using PGeo files is perhaps only feasible on MapServer for Windows, where there is native support for the MDB files. I originally asked the question because 1. I didn't want to give up too soon if someone has had some success using unixODBC and MDBTools, and 2. I wanted to know if making an exact copy of the PGeo tables in a MySQL database would allow me to use PGeo to access the layers. This seems feasible since both MDBTools and MySQL can be accessed through the ODBC layer. It would be nice if OGR wouldn't know the difference between MDB and MySQL databases because I could then run a script (that I'm working on now) that would run on Windows to make a restore file for MySQL to import the data. I hope to finish the script today or tomorrow. If it works as I hope, I'll report it here since it would answer the second question. Assuming success using MySQL, the first question is moot: MySQL would be a much more robust solution. If I can make a turnkey conversion from MDB to MySQL, it's really a no-brainer to abandon MDB. But I'm still curious, and it would be nice to document somewhere online, if it's possible to use PGeo files on a Linux-based MapServer.

NEARS QUARTERS CENTURY
(picture here) (written below "1952")
NEXT SEPTEMBER William Wilbert Wilson of Midland will complete 25 years on
the road maintenance staff of Simcoe County. Mr. Wilson, 69 on Sept. 5,
came to Midland as a carpenter 41 years ago, and save for 3 years in
Caledonia, has lived in North Simcoe ever since. Born on a farm near Vasey
now owned by Bruce Brown, Mr. Wilson operated the municipal steam roller in
Midland for some years, and was with the Brennan Paving Co. before joining
the county staff. Nearly every road in North Simcoe has felt his blade.
Some years ago his grader in the summer and snow plow in the winter were
common sights on the Elmvale-Wasaga Beach highway. He has also worked the
Waverley to Hillsdale and Coldwater stretches and on to North River. In
more recent years he has been stationed largely in the Penetang-Midland
district of Tay and Tiny but this summer was again grading the Hillsdale
section.
--------------------------------------------------
MRS. ALEX MORRISON
A former resident of Vasey, Sarah Jane (Brown) Morrison died March 18 in
Elrose, Sask. Mrs. Morrison was in her 98th year.
The last member of a family of 12, she was born in Millbrook and came with
her parents to Vasey where they lived on the farm formerly occupied by the
late J.B. Brown. In 1884 she was married to Alex Morrison in Hillsdale by
Rev. W. Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison resided in the vicinity of Vasey until
moving to Hughton, Sask. in 1913.
Mr. and Mrs. Morrison celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary at their
home in Hughton on Christmas Day in 1944.
Surviving are her husband and four children; Sherwood Morrison and Mrs.
Joseph Jennett, both of Hughton, Leota and Wesley, living in the United
States.
Four grandsons acted as pallbearers at the funeral service; Keith and
Sherwood Jennett, Glen and Larry Morrison, and two great-grandson, Ted
Galvin and Ronald Smith. Interment was in Hughton Cemetery, March 22.
-----------------------------------------
HENRY L. LOVERING
Last week, Mrs. R.A. Elliott received word that a brother, Henry Langston
Lovering of Regina, had passed away, April 1, in his 87th year.
Previous to his retirement Mr. Lovering had been attached to the Department
of Agriculture, Regina, for many years.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lovering, late of Coldwater. Of a
family of 14, nine boys and five girls, four survive, Mrs. R.A. Elliott
(Hattie) of Coldwater, Mrs. C.E.A. Goldham (Aletta), Miss Mary Lovering,
retired nursing sister, and Judge Egerton Lovering, all of Toronto.

A Few Pics… April 7, 2008Posted by littlebangtheory in Art and Nature.
Tags: morning, mushrooms, reflections
trackback
…from the weekend.
This is “Morning In America,” at least the America where I live:
Walking through the woods along a spring freshet, these turkeytail fungi caught my eye -
I found myself in a spruce clear-cut,with the corpses of mature trees piled twenty feet high at my back, and a gusty wind orchestrating the rain-stick rattle of last season’s goldenrod:
And at the end of the day, reflecting on nature always grounds me, so this seemed appropriate:
wow! especially the 1st one!
Gorgeous.

Creationist Governor Featured Speaker at RNC Meeting
Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-Minnesota) is being touted as a frontrunner for the 2012 presidential election, and today it was announced that he’ll be a featured speaker at the Republican National Committee meeting in San Diego.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty will address members of the Republican National Committee July 30 in San Diego. It’s a chance to introduce himself to party leaders, Politico reports, quoting an unnamed adviser’s view that “a lot of Republicans don’t know who he is.”
Pawlenty is expected to offer ideas for expanding the party’s base and tell his life story, from growing up in South St. Paul with a truck-driving dad, to maintaining his own hard-driving no-tax stance as governor at a State Capitol now dominated by Democrats.
Like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and almost every other so-called GOP “frontrunner,” Pawlenty is a creationist, who’s in favor of teaching “intelligent design” creationism to children as science. When the news came out that Sarah Palin had stated she wanted to teach “intelligent design” last year, Pawlenty rushed to agree with her:.
Then, of course, Palin reversed her position and said she did not believe in teaching creationism. Big oopsie for Pawlenty!
In that interview with Tom Brokaw, Pawlenty went on to spout talking points from the Discovery Institute, and attempted to dodge the issue of whether creationism should be part of school curricula. But he made it very clear that he’s a creationist himself:.
In other words, if local school boards want to teach nonsensical pseudo-science to schoolchildren, Pawlenty’s just fine with that. After all, he believes the pseudo-science himself.
(Notice that Pawlenty doesn’t distinguish between “intelligent design” and creationism. The true believers know that ID is a facade for good old-fashioned creationism, despite the Discovery Institute’s massive propaganda campaign to mislead people into believing it isn’t.)
This is a huge problem for the GOP, and it’s one reason why Democrats control both houses of Congress. If the GOP puts up a creationist for president, expect to see Democrats in power for the next 8 years (at least).

My love for this natural remedy is growing as the years go by... not only is apple cider vinegar effective for treating tummy upsets, we've recently discovered that when taken every 30 minutes, it stops a sore throat dead in it's tracks! I've used this method successfully over the past 6 months and find it to be much more reliable and effective than using oregano oil. It's less expensive, also - so a win all around :)
As to dosage, I usually take approximately 2 TBSP in a half cup of water. When taken at the first sign of a scratchy/sore throat, and repeated faithfully every 30 minutes, relief will usually be felt after just a few doses... I don't like the taste of ACV, so I plug my nose and drink it down quickly. The short term discomfort of the taste is preferred over getting sick, so I suffer through it :)
Sore throats are usually the first sign that a cold/influenza is on the way and I've noticed that people will spend a lot of money to try and ward illness off. I'm encouraging you to give apple cider vinegar a try ~ it is highly effective and very inexpensive.
Let me know if it works for you!
Apple cider vinegar has a long list of health benefits. I think fighting high cholesterol is one of them. I'm not sure I could drink it everyday, but, I'll try it with the next sore throat!
Ooooh! Now I wish I had a sore throat so I could try this out!
Sherri I did this when I felt the first stirrings of a sore throat the other week. Only took two doses and all was good.
Great, Becci!!!! It really does work well :)
So does it relieve the pain of a sore throat or actually cure whatever is causing the sore throat? Or both? I'm just a but confused? Thanks in advance for the clarity.
:) Krista
Hi Krista, it eliminates the pain by killing whatever "bug" has caused the sore throat in the first place. If you catch it early (at the first sign on a sore throat), you'll be feeling right as rain in less than a day!
Thank you for replying. I am giving it all it's worth but to no avail. My daughter and I still have terribly sore throats, slight headaches and the very back of our noses (kind of where the nasal cavity and throat meet). I'm wondering if our problem is allergy related because the ACV, raw garlic, honey, salt water gargle, Advil Cold & Sinus tabs are not working very well. I mean, all of it takes the edge off for a bit but then the problem comes raging back.
Oh well, I'm not giving up because I have learned that ACV is also good for bad choleterol, high blood pressure etc. :)
Thanks again!
Krista
Sorry you aren't feeling well :( I have only used it a handful of times (maybe 6 or 7?) to treat sore throats, so I don't have a LOT of experience, but it has worked every time (possibly because I started taking it at the very first inkling of a sore throat). It is so important to do it RIGHT AWAY before the "bugs" have a chance to multiply and take over.
The other thing we do is sniff warm salt water HARD up each nostril (from a spoon), one at a time until the saline solution hits the back of your throat. It's gross, but it works incredibly well to kill cold bugs in the nose and throat. Do it over the sink!
Hope you feel better soon XO
I couldn't agree more! I struggle with an illness where I have a very weak immune system, and since finding ACV have had to go through a lot less pain and colds. A couple of cups a day bring me a lot of relief. Good on you for spreading the word :)
Danielle, I'm sorry to hear that you are immune compromised, but glad that you are finding success with apple cider vinegar. We were travelling out of province just last week and 2 of our kids came down suddenly with a GI bug. The rest of us were able to ward it off with ACV :) Whew!
I've taken 4 doses so far and don't feel any different. I'm not sure if I can keep this up though. What's the most amount of doses you've had to take?
Better now:)
Oh good!!!!! Sometimes, I have taken up to 6 doses :) It's really yucky, but it sure works. The earlier you catch it, the less doses you have to take.

Even tucked safely into his tour bus bunk, lighting director Garry "Sport" Waldie can still hear the girls screaming. At truly ear-shattering decibels, they're voicing their love for Justin, JC, Joey, Chris, and Lance--better known as 'NSync.
Waldie has been handling the lighting for the band since its first club tour in 1998, and since then the joyful noise has only grown. "It's a great show with a lot of energy," he says. "Obviously, the audiences are enjoying themselves, so they just add to it."
When it became apparent late last year that arenas and stadiums would be needed to comfortably fit these growing legions of 'NSync fans, the band's management brought in production and lighting designer Steve Cohen. Cohen got to work with associate Jim Day to put together a design for a new tour that began in March. "We opened up my 3D Max program and got into the design process and produced some color renderings, which they loved," Cohen says. "The style guide that I got from them included edgy, surfer-type graphics. I went to a bookstore and researched surfboard graphics, and those became inspiration for a lot of the shapes in the set and color choices in the lighting looks. We tried to evoke something of that nature. We did a couple of revisions, then All Access built it for us."
Cohen also helped create the tour's original opening segment. "We had a blacklight dance sequence where they came out in costumes that glowed in the dark, battled this mysterious monster, and a did a very interesting African dance with sticks--it was really powerful," Cohen says. "But when they began the shed leg this summer, they changed it to a Mission Impossible opening that has them flying in and rappelling down to the stage at the beginning of the show."
'NSync also takes flight at the end of the show. "The guys wanted to fly into the house during the song 'Sailing.' Doing that added an additional truck and a half of rigging hardware and an additional 20-something points for the flying rig, which I had to integrate into my front followspot truss and the front truss on the stage," Cohen says. "There was a learning curve that was required in integrating the two systems. I initially tried to make it all one piece, and everyone advised me against it because number one, it would slow down the day, and number two, it was two separate structures that needed to be taken care of independently. One couldn't wait on the other, and since we were flying five stars, their safety was obviously an absolute priority. So the guys from Branam Enterprises specifically took care of that, and they were great. We ended up having a monstrous amount of cables with the trolleys out there, but it got sorted out, as things do, in a couple of weeks on tour."
While the flying gag was definitely the band's idea, how it got integrated into the show was Cohen's job. "I had to take all of the structure, make it work within the show, and make it look good," he explains. "We ended up doing this five-fingered array out into the house, and the guys used the downstage edge of the stage as their launchpad. When you see the show you realize how powerful it is to have these guys fly out over your head. They're all very athletic, so they are really able to pull it off."
Once the rigging points and design were sorted out, the LD put together the lighting system, which features the Coemar automated line of luminaires. The Obie Company is the tour's main lighting contractor. "Obie's high-density trusses are interesting--a lot of the gear rides in the air, so it's a very efficient system," Cohen says. "I, of course, came up with my typical vertical element, which I seem to go back to in every show. This time I built three vertical trusses that had strobes and a collection of moving lights that had to be hoisted up in the air every day, which was a pain in the ass, but they created a great background.
"I used the Obie/Coemar combination again because it was really successful with Enrique [Iglesias]," Cohen continues. "We have some Wybron Colorams up there for color changers and followspots, but it's mainly a combination of Coemar wash lights, hard-edged lights, and 2.5k NAT lights, which were dotted around the show. I keep going back to the purity of color in the CF1200 because I find that it has an incredible range. It's such a bright instrument and I was able to pick a color palette that was acceptable for the type of music and the style that I wanted. There are a lot of lemon yellows, bright whites, and steel blues, which are compounded one on top of another to create a cold, icy effect that works with a lot of the colors of the surf graphics. There are also some really rich ambers and reds in there that you can pull off with this light."
Programmer Arnold Serame helped Cohen create these desired effects. "I hadn't worked with Steve in a long time, so it was really cool to get that partnership together again," Serame says. "It's awesome to work for him because when he has a very specific idea, he goes for it. But he's willing to say that his idea doesn't work if that's the case. And when I've got ideas, he always tells me to run with them. He'll look at everything I have to show him, which fosters a very open communication."
Cohen and Serame were joined by Waldie to create a unique FOH lighting triumvirate. "It was an interesting situation. Sport knew the music really well because he had taken this show out before, but I didn't know it at all," Serame explains. "There are programmers who like to immerse themselves in the music of whatever show they're about to do, but I'm not like that. I like listening to it when I have the light rig and after I've figured out what the light rig can do. To me, it's about whatever that first impression of the music is and what my initial feeling is about how to bring that to life. I don't like thinking about it too much beforehand because I think that's how people end up going back to their old techniques. It was a great combination because Steve knew the music and the choreography pretty well. Sport knew the music inside out and he knew the way they used to do the songs. I didn't know the music, but I knew the rig the best, and I was the one who eventually had to create it."
Production rehearsals lasted about a week in Palm Springs, FL. "When you work with Steve, it's not just about putting on a great show--it's almost as if the show is another step in having a great life," Serame says. "We'll go out, have dinner, and come back and exchange more ideas about the band and so forth. By the end of each evening we had written a few more songs. Steve turns it all into a great experience."
Cohen reports that Serame deserves the credit for getting the work done so quickly. "It was very interesting to work with Arnold because he's got incredible experience working with so many different lighting designers," Cohen says. "It was hard for both of us not to fall into our old tricks. We tried to reinvent some of our own gags, and he's so facile and so fast that we were able to see results, realize what we had, and move on. The work was done in record time for the amount of cues that were in it. He's a joy to have on set. Peter Morse often says that we're really the sum and substance of the people who program for us. In this situation, it was interesting to try to communicate to each other in a common language, so it was a bit of a learning curve."
As lighting director, Waldie also had a learning curve to take on with the new design. "Sport was at a disadvantage at first because he had designed their first tour, and it was kind of hard for him to let go of how he had done it before," Serame says. "Steve liked leaving certain passages in a cue even though there were a lot of musical accents, to emphasize what the boys were doing onstage. Sport didn't really understand it until he saw the whole thing together with all the new choreography, music, and staging, then it made sense to him. It was amazing how he was able to get these complex songs down so quickly.
"That was part of the programming challenge for me," Serame continues. "It's one thing to program for yourself if you're designing or operating, but how do you program when someone is designing and someone else is operating? So I first had to ask Sport how he wanted the cues structured: theatrically, where you've got one go button and little break-out flashes? Or do you want a cue on each handle in rock and roll style? We'd sit down and talk about the songs. It wouldn't have made sense for me to write cues for Steve's ideas if Sport doesn't feel natural to run it without thinking about it, because there is so much to keep track of. He had to know naturally where every cue was, and keep his eyes on the boys and keep the followspots straight. Sport could tell Steve and I where each guy would go during a song and which guy sang every chorus of every song, just by listening to it. It was a great partnership that way."
Even Serame had trouble understanding Cohen's vision at first. "What struck me most about how Steve built the show was that there were sections with huge musical accents, and I didn't get at first why he would let other sections go without picking up the musical accents," he says. "Once I saw the choreography, I understood it. That's where the show is really brilliant. For a show that easily could have been flash and trash, Steve showed a remarkable amount of class and restraint in lighting the guys and not the event. He really highlighted and showed off the guys for what they could do. When he chose to go over the top, he did it at the appropriate moments, but it isn't a whole show of that. We had a blast."
The band members also got into the production process. "The guys were very involved in all the decisions," Cohen says. "When they saw the looks for the first time Justin walked over to me and said, 'I feel kind of silly, because we're oohing and aahing like it's a fireworks show.' But when we played some tracks and ran the lighting cues, they were blown away. It was successful because they walked onstage feeling that they had something really interesting and fun behind them. They're very hardworking and very diligent."
The show also featured a central video display. "We incorporated the Jumbotron (the tour has since upgraded to an LED screen) into the show, and framed it with a 50s-style television screen," Cohen says. "This is really the first time I've integrated video into a show. It's the central upstage piece and also provides a great deal of backlight."
Dave Davidian is the tour's video director. "He walked into this position and not only filled the directorial shoes, but also created an incredibly exciting show," Cohen says. "It would not be as good as it is without him. This was first time I ever worked with him; I've only ever known him as a lighting designer and one of the things he brings to the plate here is an energy that comes from having done lighting cues--except here he's utilizing the camera for it. So it's incredibly musical and the shots are beautiful. It would not be the 'NSync show without him."
Davidian agrees that his lighting design background has informed his video direction style for the show. "Just like with lighting, I feel the video is there to enhance the music--I'm there to intensify the background and amplify it to a certain degree and communicate what the artist is trying to do," he explains. "My job is to help themessage of the performer get sent to the whole crowd, as strongly and cohesively as possible. My lighting background helps me a lot--certainly I'm trained to follow the activity. As a lighting designer you put spotlights on the people you want to highlight. I tend to do the same with the video, which is good in an Imag situation. Some video directors go with cuts, like on MTV videos where they cut away from the prime action--certainly sometimes they do that for valid, creative reasons, but with Imag your job is to provide the people in the back with a closer look at who is doing the prominent activity and highlight the whole band when they're working together."
Davidian also put together video clips to create the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s montage that backs up the band as they change costumes and pay tribute to each era. "I used the digital effects machine, and I keep developing that as the tour goes on," he says. "Mainly I stick with the Imag. The five of them are all good friends and that really comes out when they're onstage--they're having the time of their lives."
Davidian handles his responsibilities from the enviable backstage position. "Being backstage is a benefit because it does protect you a little from the girls' screaming--but I felt the same way when I was out with AC/DC," he laughs. "They're very nice guys and it's a fun show. My 11-year-old daughter loves them, too. Those little girls are our employers, so they can scream all the time as far as I'm concerned."
The band is currently doing promotional appearances in Europe and will resume touring this month in the US. With a new album scheduled to come out next year 'NSync has already tapped Cohen to design its spring tour. "I'm also doing Britney Spears' tour--it's all the same management," Cohen says. "They're surrounding these younger acts with high-caliber production, and Darrin Henson, the choreographer, is spectacular. They spent enough money on a production to go out there and do a great show, and young acts don't get this opportunity that often, so they come in and work their butts off to pull it off. People are going to these shows and they're getting much more value because they're being entertained in the old-fashioned way. I'm 45, and my primary clients have been rock stars who are older than me, like Billy Joel, Elton John, Don Henley, and Fleetwood Mac. To come in on this new wave and find a niche is great."

The official CAD images above, from the Advanced Projects & Technologies (AP&T) directorate of India's Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) provide further perspective on the low-observable design elements that are known to be going into India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), known for a while now to be a stealth aircraft concept. Serpentine air intakes (with minimum flow distortion and robust pressure recovery) and internal weapons bays, depicted in the images above, are some of the most critical nose-on low observability design elements going into the programme..

And like all other projects, our Sarkari company will float a tender for foreign co-operation in this also while our babus eat their tiffin.
First finish the LCA mk2 and then take on this challenge!
In fact this project seems like a complete waste of time and money.
India should now fully concentrate on UAV technology. With whatever we have right now plus MMRCA we can easily defend our skies for a next few decades. By then UAVs will be the king of the skies. What's the point of this aircraft then?
The MCA is going to be sooo good! Much like after the experience of building Dhruv, the LCH came out much better than expected! Go DRDO!
People criticizing DRDO's efforts at collaboration with foreign firms have probably never been in an engineering project before. At the end of the day, what is important is the completion of the overall fighting platform on schedule, not whether it is 100% indigenous or not. The indigenization effort can't be allowed to hold up product delivery. This is what the Armed Forces have been saying for years.
Thanks Shiv.....A request please add captions.
Interesting that ADA has moved from a delta-wing design (look up the MCA page on wikipedia for the very first preliminary designs), to a design that is almost a copy of the F-22A Raptor.
Which is a good thing.
Its better to rip off proven technologies than to reinvent the wheel.
when does ADA think it can roll out the AMCA ?
Will the more powerful kaveri-snecma engine be ready by then?
Will the AESA radar PLANNED to be developed for LCA be ready so it can also be integrated with AMCA ?
Is it gonna be 100% indigenous ( avionics , etc) or will there be any foreign sub-system as in the proposed AURA programme for the UCAV ?
I checked in Wikipedia ... other than being lighter than f-22 & pak-fa (if its in 16 -18 tn range)
it doesn't come out even as 2nd best acc. to any of the specs.
Shiv could you also give an update on arjun mk-2 & lca mk-2?
Is the DRDO going to develop a future MBT or is the arjun mk-2 gonna be the future MBT ?
Is the DRDO working on an APS suite for arjun mk-2?
Under the AURA programme is ADA gonna develop just 1 kind of UCAV or diff type (like a whole new range of MALE , HALE UAV's & UCAV's) ?
Oh, polycarbonate canopy sounds very interesting. Why the departure?
Anon@9:35. Do you have any clue of the effort that has already gone into the LCA and related projects? What makes an anonymous mouse on the Internet talk about extremely well educated folks who have sacrificed careers in corporations for smaller salaries and national interest? Cheer the effort, will you?
this different from the indian version of the russian fifth gen fighter right?
minus all the crap, I am optimistic and I suppport the effort
Thats Great... Can you give us some latest information on the AVTAR RLV project please
Those criticizing DRDO's indigenous efforts should realize that even the Russian Missiles have Texas Instrument Chips!!
No country can afford to develop 100% indigenous eqp. All the countries are sharing knowledge and expertise with one another. Abrams tank has tech of Britain (armor), Germany (Gun) and other countries. Israel's Merkava is also a development of a British tank.
USA's latest Chopper the Lakota looks like a replica of our Dhruv. Reason for their similarity is both have been designed by the same German company! Russia collaborated with Italy for their latest subs.
We are still an infant learning to crawl. What's the harm if we take the support of grown ups in this field?? After all can you learn without the help of good teachers?
Anon@11.11
You are right on the dot. Ill informed bashers of indeginous efforts with a view to demoralise or scuttle them should be told off in no uncertain terms.
Hiding behind an anonymous cloak and spewing sarcasm does not in any way encourage Indian scientists and engineers from weaning the country off its foreign dependence.
It looks a bit like the much speculated JF-17 Mk2, except for the use of 2 engines and the use of conventional intakes instead of DSI.
people seem to behave as if they understand the "design" process. well they are always allowed to ask unnecessary question. specially on the post or blog like this...which is good...it clears of the crap...and whatever goes ahead in form of doubt is much more clearer...
i think its good time to start AMCA. as it'll mature with time. and give us key experience again in building future gadgets for our industry and armed forces...in recent times...if we don't push ourselves...some nations will move to such a stage that...they'll become untouchable and will start holding the destiny of many nations...so we need to push in technology sector...one more thing...if someone asks that, what about lca mk2,UAV...after AMCA launched....i think they should check the word multitasking in the dictionary....for multi role organisation like DRDO.
Onle two LGB's and 4 Long range SAM's? I assume there are 2-4 IR short range SAMs.
Is this loadout of much use? It seems to be too little to me.
What is that in the wing, another fuel tank or a radar just like the T-50?
Should this information be on public forums? (rhetorical, not literal question)
2 ton internal weapons for a deep strike aircraft?
atleast 3 - 4 tons will be logical.
i completly support drdo ripping of other countries technology .if the chinese can rip off .why cant we ??? after all we arent stealing .we are just reverse enginering it. :-)
Just a few silly designs and the party is on.
Mr. Terminator - You are looking for trouble - Sir! and you will find it in your life. You know nothing excepting choosing the right sides, and pouring English Language - of which you know almost nothing.
By the way, Terminator is a great lead on your profile, than Anonymous. Focus on the article - Buddy!
Why should you not permit constructive criticism against DRDO? Does "Way to Go - DRDO" help? Are you their salesman with personal profit to make?
You were probably the one condemning the Arjun Tank,AGNI-III praising the LCA, Dhruv, LCH - in short being the head chief commentator and running the destinies of how Indians should behave?
Keep asking those silly questions which you should attempt to find an answer to yourself.
You know who I am. There are many who like to clone me. That is what you are good at - all of you.
Cloning people, issuing threats which you cannot back up, and vomitting rhetoric.
Let me wise you freaks on something. Keep your praises, giggles and tears for your family.
If you have something to offer as information - present it forth.
Rather than - "I see a shaft below the nozzle - it looks like F-22. We should not reinvent the wheel. Every nation borrows from another. USA has copied the Dhruv. The reason the designs are similar is that the company that designed the Dhruv is German."
Just goes to prove what I have always maintained.
Dont get too cocky if you know C#, .NET, ADO, XML, T-SQL.
And remember, keep DRDO, ISRO out of it. They owe you nothing. You all are renegades like Ajai Shukla, etc. You want US weaponry and feel happy selling and buying philosphy.
Enjoy making enemies and turning the Excel Pivot Table back and forth - It does pass time.
Good Luck!
With the inclusion of HAL Tejas, MMRCA, Sukhoi Su-30MKI, AMCA, T-50 and FGFA our forces are going to be definitely stronger. Welcome step for AMCA.
Are there any indications as to when this is expected to be inducted? In neither of the 2 posts you have made, you have mentioned this.
In the older post, you mentioned that there is no backup plan to the engine should the kaveri/snecma fail to arrive. what then? will we have to wait another decade or 2 while something else is retro-fitted?
will they put a lightening pod in it as it is going to be a multi role aircraft. so my question is where are they goin to place it? will it be like the f 35 in the nose so the pod does not compromise the stealth. Shiv can u also give some info about the radar goin to be used. Will it be
a distributed radar system. I hope it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyways all the questions aside i give all my best my wishes to all the people working on this plane :))))))))))))
i like the project..nd its to proud..
But i'm not happy wit livefist puting all imp info online..first up al india's nuclear submarn' image nd now mca disgn...it like gavin al hint to enmz
Well looking at what the engineers are developing can we expect some of these tech in the LCA mk2??????
Will the changes in LCA mk2 be similar to the changes brought in F-15SE??? as that will get the LCA somewhat near to a 5th generation aircraft and will suite the airforce better even 10 to 15 yrs down the lane.
Also the fact that the aircraft rolls out in 2014 should provide the ADA sufficient time to integrate whatever 5th gen tech they develop by that time.
Doing so, the 4 years time for mk2 will become more justified.
just hoping that they do bring in those tech upgrades in mk2
Guys,
I think there are very good people on this web site. And they come from many backgrounds. Like I come from Computers. Why not some of us think to make something which can help our nation to rise faster. We all have strong passion for defense (NO attack, but defense). We need a place where we can guide our young generation to be scientists, engineers designers and whatever which can contribute to defense. Anyone agree with me ?
Anon@12.57
I was just supporting Anon@11.11. In no way did I point a finger at your drivel. Stop threatening. It does not serve any purpose. BTW I have been and am still an avid supporter of indigenous efforts, by DRDO or any other entity which would help India to save foreign exchange and at the same time provide employment to Indians instead of bailing out production houses in the west that are on the verge of closing down their assembly lines.
Don't go off at a tangent and deride others of their language skills when yours is nothing to gloat about. Learn to be polite, civil and courteous even if you are not face to face with the person whose opinions differ from yours.
Have a good day and chill down.
P.S. I chose 'the terminator' nom de guerre not to terminate guys like you in a forum but just as a convenient handle.
Shailendra@12:32AM
Great thought...
I agree, that this pool of talent can do a lot of good things for those who fight to save us.
What the need is a platform and a leader to guide.
Just 2 tons of weapon load. Will it be able fulfill the role of Deep Penetration Strike bomber? As per my best knowledge, it is slated to replace Jaguar & Mig 27.
@Anonymu 10:44 AM
Buddy, why not to make a web site, where we invite people for writing articles for guiding for defense ?
See may be I have not all my thoughts at place right now, but I think people here can have more like me. Believe me we all have good intentions, and if we can be united we will be helping so many. I always watch videos on youtube for F35 and other things, and my family says why you do not design a fighter plan ( sometime they just pinch me :)) But why I can not ? at least I can inspire and motivate youth to do that
Read this news
The organisers included the US department of defence.
And where the hell DRDO or MOD were ?
This is what is called as talent hunt, after few years these students will fly to US and will be involved in some cutting edge tech like F 35. Why we do not have such a environment ?).
Shailendra@10:06PM
OK thats fine but how do you think we will be able to guide i.e how will the ideas reach the stage where the actual decision making(for the forces) takes place.
I would like to know the road map for such a venture.
Hi Shailendra,
I am ready to develop site,decide the name, book the domain,push a message here, i will start work.
thank you
What do you guys think about 1) AMCA should have internal room for at least 2 more AA missiles since it is ment to penerate enemy territory deeply; 2) current plan should center around Israel AESA radar and Eurojet EJ200 engine. And later replace EJ2oo and Israel AESA radar with kaveri and indigenous AESA radar when they are ready.
The biggest stealth feature seems to be the absence of a vertical stabilizer, one of the heaviest contributors to the RCI profile of an aircraft. Designing an aircraft without those though, brings about a million computing headaches, which is why indigenous agencies are going to have to come up with a much more powerful flight computer than they are used to deploying on most IAF aircraft.
The Indian MCA project (now AMCA) is a joint Indo-Russian(MiG) project n NOT a wholly Indian endeavor as made out to be. Here is the Link in suuport of the above:
It make me feel proud.
I am sure all those people who are saying that the delay and high cost behind tejas are not aware of the level of complexity behind such a high tech flying machine. Tejas is a big learning phase in indian aviation industry. I can surely say that the next fighter craft (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA)) would take much less time and less development cost. As happened in case of HAL Dhruv to LCH. Dhruv took a long time to come up, while LCH came within 2 years !!! because of the know how to develop a helicopter was already available for LCH.
And all those who talk about full indigenous crap, should know that its not possible because of the patented technologies used in many products, u can not make them even if you are capable of !! Secondly why reinvent the wheel, use the available components and make proper use of it !!! thats intelligent. Once you have the aircraft in production line, you can gradually develop manufacturing facility of foreign origin products on your own, but first focus on get the thing to fly OKAY !!!
Also best wishes to "National Civil Aircraft Programme". I have faith in Madhavan Nair :)
Go India Go !
Nice.
Good luck India.
ADA, HAL & TEAM NEED TO OPERATIONALISE
LCA WHICH IS STILL NOT IN THE FINAL STAGE (WITH DELAY AFTER DELAY)
THEN THEY SHOULD WORK FOR AMCA.
OTHERWISE AMCA WOULD BE FOR ANOTHER
20 YEARS BEFORE BEGINING ITS FIRST FLIGHT TRIALS.
IN THE MEANWHILE, THE IAF WILL CONTINUE TO BUY FOREIGN MADE JETS/PLANES. GOOD !!
The AMCA will roll out by 2014. The Indian version two-seat FGFA will also roll out in that same year (if not in 2013). IAF would induct the first of the batch of 50 Russian-version PAK FAs by 2015, FGFA first flight could be by 2013-2014, and AMCA first flight by 2016-2017, FGFA & AMCA would be inducted into IAF from year 2020. Good, real good...i think this decade in Indian skies is going to be very hot...three stealth fighters showing up...i just hope everything goes as per schedule.
To make a stealth aircraft is very challenging.To make a stealth combat aircraft is a "no-hoper" if one is going to maintain any worthwhile time scale. It seems we are treading the LCA - world class- and MiG replacement-path again.As Einstein said "It is stupidity to repeat the same thing and expect different results".
I thought a cranked LE is anti stealth but the model shows just that.Hmmm...
Finally stealth requires internal weapons carriage which means a large draggy airframe and a large easy to hit target.Is stealth or perhaps "super stealth" ( a little cosmetic angling does no harm)another of those fashionable marketing ploy? I have been an Aircraft nut long enough to see many such come and go after being dropped like ahot potato.
Prodyut
PEOPLE WHO ARE JEALOUS MAKE UNNECESSARY COMMENTS.ALL THE BEST DRDO
I feel it is very expensive to upgrade the mirages for 41 million dollars a piece almost same cost of the Tejas MK2 . It is equally expensive evan to but rafale , it is fourth generation technology.It is costly a lot right now and avionics upgrade is needed every 7-8 years. If Dassault is looting 41 million for mirage upgrade they would loot 100 million plus for rafale upgrade.Rafale would be made available beyond 2018 so why not to develop AMCA with GE 414 IN5S6 engines and develop it with the more advanced version of AESA radar which is being developed for Tejas MK 2. This all process can be developed in 5 years if they plan now and in 6-8 months fly the prototypes. It would be cheaper and better to upgrade the homegrown fighter.I feel it is high time take help from Japan as well as Korea as they are also in need of a fighter due to china's posturing in the china sea.Rafale has obsolete underpowered engine.Stop the production of Tejas MK1 and go directly to AMCA.The money remains at home and if a determined effort is made we can have a world beater.

This is right outside of my room. It is the first thing that the kids are expected to do before they even come in and put their backpacks away. There is a picture for each lunch choice (a-e clips on the wall) and then they find their name and put it in the matching box! If they are cold lunch, then they put it in the red lunch basket.

Head on over to the Gravity Ghost devlog if you’re interested in seeing how I think about animation and character design. It turns out that designing a character who is both dead and endearing is quite a challenge.
If you’re reading this site, there’s a good chance you’re open to the idea of making your own games. I’m here to tell you that making your own art isn’t as difficult as it sounds, especially if you’re interested in improving your drawing skills. It’s a good way to level up your art really fast, and leave each game looking better and better.
The art for my first two games was largely created in MS Paint. And while I wouldn’t actually recommend that if you’re interested in having wrists that work, it did sure teach me a lot about making readable game art.

Road Trips Around Sydney
Sydney, Australia. Photo credit: Destination NSW.
David Elliott wrote this guest post on road trips around Sydney. He is a freelance writer who loves to get away whenever he can to immerse himself in foreign cultures and lap up the history of great cities.
There are loads of things to do in New South Wales, and a road trip of the area around Sydney in particular will throw up new experiences around every corner.
The landscape is rich and varied and will take you through scenery as diverse as that of the Snowy Mountains, the exhilarating coastal stretch and the fabulous outback. If you take the time beforehand to map out a proper itinerary, you’ll get the most out of your visit to this incomparably beautiful region of Australia.

If you base yourself in Sydney you can take out a cheap car rental to enjoy the famous coastal drive between here and Melbourne. This will take you ultimately to the border with Victoria and on the way you’ll pass a string of historic villages and quaint seaside towns and attractive bays to stop off at for refreshments and a dip in the clear waters. There are also more than 30 national parks along the route, along with spectacular wildlife reserves, making this a drive full of new experiences. Some of the finest dairy cheeses in Australia are made in this area, and wineries too are never far distant, with eating out one of the many pleasures of the trip.

Or try the Grand Pacific Drive out of Sydney, which takes you straight through the Royal National Park and along the Sea Cliff Bridge, curving out beneath the Illawarra Escarpment for some fabulous views. You can stop off for cheap and fresh fish ‘n’ chips at Wollongong Harbour and watch the sea blast up through the natural blowhole at Kiama along the way.

There’s also a popular road trip to the west of Sydney that takes you over the Blue Mountains and right across the central western plains. There is a sense of endless space here and you can almost feel the spirit of the outback. Alternatively, opt for the slower but much more scenic and less-traveled route across the mountains, the so-called Bells Line of Road trip, and relax with coffee and lunch with a stopover at the Mount Tomah Botanic Garden.

The drive between Sydney and Port Macquarie will take a leisurely five hours. You can head off the Pacific Highway just a little beyond Raymond Terrace and you’ll soon find yourself in the Buckett’s Way region of hair-bend turns and rolling hills. This country is a lot rougher than those of the other routes; with many of the roads being little more than dirt tracks. Stop off at the quaint little township of Stroud, which was largely built by convicts in the early 19th century. There are plenty of arts and crafts stores here and at nearby Gloucester and Tininee.

the U.K. “embrace the transition to open access, and accelerate the process in a measured way which promotes innovation but also what is most valuable in the research communication ecosystem.”
The model it suggests is mixed, but heavily weighted toward the “gold” model, or publication in Open Access (OA) journals funded by article processing charges, temporarily supported by extended licenses for subscription journals during the transition, and backstopped by repositories with a focus on preservation and access to “grey”, or non-commercially published, literature. “It is unlikely that either institutional or subject-based repositories could by themselves provide a satisfactory model for a research communications system,” the report says. “[…] Quality assurance through peer review, coupled with the wide range of discovery, navigation, linking and related services provided by publishers and other intermediaries are […] of critical importance.”
The report estimated that the cost of the transition would be an additional 50-60 million pounds per year: 38 million on publishing in open access journals, 10 million on extensions to licenses for the higher education and health sectors, and 3-5 million pounds on repositories, plus one-off transition costs of 5 million pounds.
Although the report focuses on U.K. policy, David Willetts, minister for universities and science, was quoted by The Guardian as saying, .”
Research Libraries U.K. (RLUK) generally welcomed the report, particularly the estimates of cost savings, but took issue with the 12 month embargo period it proposed. David Prosser, executive director of RLUK, said in a statement, “RLUK therefore strongly supports the recent OA proposals from the RCUK which incorporate a maximum embargo of six months for scientific research and sees no merit in the excessive embargoes suggested by the Finch Report.” (The Publishers Association, on the other hand, particularly welcomed the embargo recommendation, while praising the report in general; the association recently released a report claiming that a six month embargo period would cut journal subscriptions by almost half.)
In addition to academic libraries, the report is of particular interest to public libraries because of a proposal to provide walk-in access to the majority of journals via public libraries across the U.K., something the report says “should be pursued with vigor, along with an effective publicity and marketing campaign.”
The public library initiative is proposed to run for an initial two year trial to gather and analyze data on demand and usage. “Publishers hope to extend the service at the end of the two years if it has not led to any damaging loss of core revenues,” the Finch report says, noting, “the precise terms of what will be provided – whether access will be restricted to screens on library equipment, restrictions on copying to other devices, access to printing, and related matters – and issues such as discover-ability and whether access will be provided to all content via a single platform, have yet to be worked out. A working group of representatives of public libraries and of publishers has been established to consider these issues, and how the proposal can be implemented to best effect.”
For more reactions to the report, see INFOdocket.com.
FINCH REPORT, A TROJAN HORSE, SERVES PUBLISHING INDUSTRY INTERESTS INSTEAD OF UK RESEARCH INTERESTS
1..
THE FINCH FIASCO IN FACTS AND FIGURES
The Finch Report, under strong and palpable influence from the publishing lobby, instead of recommending extending and optimizing the UK’s worldwide lead in providing Green OA, cost-free, through institutional and funder self-archiving mandates, has recommended abandoning Green OA and Green OA mandates and instead spending extra money (£50-60 million yearly) on paying publishers’ Gold OA fees as well as a UK blanket national site-license fee to cover whatever is not yet Gold OA (i.e., all the journals that UK institutions currently subscribe to, rather like the “Big Deals” publishers have been successfully negotiating with individual institutions and consortia):
Finch on Green: “The [Green OA] policies of neither research funders nor universities themselves have yet had a major effect in ensuring that researchers make their publications accessible in institutional repositories… [so] the infrastructure of subject and institutional repositories should [instead] be developed [to] play a valuable role complementary to formal publishing, particularly in providing access to research data and to grey literature, and in digital preservation [no mention of Green OA]…”
Finch on Gold: “Gold” open access, funded by article charges, should be seen as “the main vehicle for the publication of research”… Public funders should establish “more effective and flexible arrangements” to pay [Gold OA] article charges… During the transition to [Gold] open access, funding should be found to extend licences [subscriptions] for non-open-access content to the whole UK higher education and health sectors…
Now here are some of the actual figures behind the above assertions. Let readers come to their own conclusions about the relative success, cost, benefits, cost-effectiveness, growth potential and timetable of mandating Green OA vs funding Gold OA: bit.ly/FinchFiasco

Central America: Northern Triangle countries are being militarizedFriday, December 16th, 2011
Repressive strategies led by former soldiers are the new norm in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador
[Translation of an article from ContraPunto of San Salvador for December 14. See original here and related articles here, here and here.]
By Gerardo Arbaiza
The Central American Northern Triangle, consisting of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, has been found in several studies to be the most violent region of the world not involved in an armed conflict.
According to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Honduras is in first place in the world in homicides, with a rate of 78 for every 100,000 inhabitants, followed by El Salvador with 66 and, three levels below, Guatemala, with a total of 41 murders per 100,000 inhabitants.
The World Health Organization considers a country to be in an epidemic when the rate of deaths from any cause reaches ten for every 100,000 inhabitants.
The strategy these countries have adopted recently to reduce these figures is directed at taking members of the armed forces and using them together with police forces for tasks of citizen security. (more…)

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Aug 17, 2011) On August 11, 2011, the European Commission allowed Spain to temporarily restrict the access of Romanian workers to its labor market. (2011/503/EU: Commission Decision of 11 August 2011 Authorising Spain to Temporarily Suspend the Application of Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Freedom of Movement for Workers Within the Union with Regard to Romanian Workers [hereinafter Commission Decision], OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (OJ) (L207) 22 (Aug. 12, 2011).) The decision involves one of the four fundamental pillars of the European Union, that is, the free movement of people within the territory of the 27 EU Member States and the right of the EU Member States to curtail such freedom of movement on certain grounds. This right of free movement – which in general permits workers to look for employment in another Member State without a work permit and also to reside there – is protected in articles 45 and 46 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. (See consolidated version of the Treaty, OJ (C83) 47-199 (Mar. 30, 2010).)
This right is furthermore provided in Regulation No. 492/2011, adopted in April 2011, which replaces the 1968 Regulation on Freedom of Movement of Workers Within the Union and establishes the requirements and conditions of the exercise of the right of free movement. (Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on Freedom of Movement for Workers Within the Union [hereinafter the Regulation], OJ 2011 (L14) 11 (May 27, 2011).)
Based on articles 1-6 of the Regulation, nationals of a Member State, regardless of place of residence, have the right to seek employment in another EU Member State, without being subject to discrimination and with the same priority as nationals of that state. EU Member States are not permitted to restrict this right by law, regulation, or administrative action or to impose requirements not applicable to their own nationals. (Id.)
The Act of Accession to the EU for Romania, adopted in 2005, established transitional provisions for workers. Romania eventually joined the EU on January 1, 2007. EU Members had the right to defer full access to their labor markets by Romanian workers for a seven-year period, to 2014. The Act of Accession also contained a "safeguard clause" that gave EU Members the right to re-introduce restrictions, if that Member were experiencing or anticipating serious "labor market disturbances." (Press Release, The Commission Accepts That Spain Can Temporarily Restrict the Free Movement of Romanian Workers, MEMO/11/554 (Aug. 11, 2011), EUROPA.)
Currently, Romanian workers have access to the labor market in 15 of the 25 EU Member States other than Spain and Romania (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden). The other EU Member States (Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) still maintain work permits for such workers, with some adjustments. (Id.)
Spain opened its market to Romanian workers on January 1, 2009. However, following the global economic downturn of 2008, Spain began experiencing serious disturbances in its labor market, especially an unemployment rate in excess of 20%. (Commission Decision, supra.)
On July 22, 2011, Spain notified the European Commission of its decision to take immediate measures to reintroduce restrictions because of its domestic economic crisis. In connection with this crisis, on July 28, 2011, Spain requested that, with regard to Romanian workers, the Commission suspend articles 1-6 of the Regulation. (Id.)
The Commission Decision adopted on August 11 authorizes Spain to temporarily suspend the application of articles 1-6 of the Regulation until December 31, 2012. (Id.) The Commission based its decision on an analysis of economic data indicating that Spain was facing a serious labor market disturbance that was reflected in its having the highest unemployment rate across the EU, "particularly dramatic unemployment among youth and a slow economic recovery." (Id.) The decision does not affect Romanian workers who are already employed in Spain and those who are registered as job seekers by the Public Employment Services in Spain. (Id.)

Logan Utah Mortgages - What do I need to qualify for a mortgage?
if you watch television, listen to the radio, read the newspaper, or have a pulse, you've probably heard that it is much harder to qualify for a mortgage than it used to be. This is true but not because the principles of lending have changed. To qualify for a mortgage, a borrower has always needed a credit score, a job, and money in the bank. Today, They still have to have a credit score, a job, and money in the bank, but the standards are higher and the way that lenders are verifying this information has changed. For example, with respect to...
*Credit Scores: In the past, a 680 credit score was considered good enough to claim the very best interest rates. Now, 740 is the new 680. Anything less than 740 and the borrower will be paying a higher interest rate. (unless they have a lower than average loan to value)
*Employment: Some lenders use to offer "stated income loans" where the borrower's income didn't need to be verified with paystubs or W2's. With stated income loans a thing of the past, borrowers will need to provide, at a minimum, their last 2 pay stubs and their tax returns and W2's for the past 2 years. Also, borrowers need to have had steady employment for 2 years without any unexplained gaps. If they are employed part-time, they must have had the same job for 2 years before they can use that income on a job application.
*Assets: Lenders are requiring borrowers' last 2 months bank statements to verify any money that they will be using for a down payment, and/or to show reserves. Also, they require a letter of explanation for all large deposits that are not from their employer. They do this to assure that the borrower is not taking out a loan for the downpayment.
It's important to know what to expect when shopping for a mortgage. Although the standards are higher, the principles have not changed, and I believe that the majority of borrowers that qualified a year or 2 years ago, would still qualify today. With rates at historic lows, the $8,000 tax credit, and plenty of homes to choose from, it is an amazing time to purchase a home.

A good article from Janine Popick,
President and CEO - Founder of Vertical Response Marketing that landed in my inbox this morning.
Well, it's the end of the year and you're not only sending a ton of email but you're getting it too, right? Retailers are going nuts trying to get as much as they can out of the short season. I'm seeing an email every 30 seconds pop into my inbox and I'm sure many of you have it just the same. Bloomie's and Nieman Marcus are up to 2-3 mailings a DAY right now, but they mail every day anyway, so that's not completely out of the ordinary. On top of that, the businesses who market to businesses are feeling the end-of-year crunch so they're having fire sales for their goods and services too.
What really got me this year was the sheer number of retailers I've purchased from last year, that didn't send me one email until November. Now by inbox runneth over with emails from them.
Where's the Respect?
Bounce rates are likely to be higher due to the amount of people that had a change of email address. Think of the many people who've unfortunately lost their jobs this past year. If you're not giving them something of value and keeping in touch with them throughout the year, they probably won't give you their updated email addresses.
Response rates might be lower because it's been so long since recipients have been communicated to. In fact, like me, recipients might feel "used and abused" because businesses are only giving them great deals when THEY need them the most, not when recipients need the deals most. Remember, it's a two way street. You both are giving and taking.
On top of response rates being low unsubscribe rates could soar. If recipients are all of a sudden getting slammed by your emails when they've not heard from you, they're more likely to unsubscribe.
So here's to 2009, we all need to look at our marketing dollars under a microscope. The people that are going to get you through any tough times are your customers. So make sure you don't abuse them, and make sure you build a lasting relationship with them all year long.

DOE INTENDS TO EXTEND LOCKHEED MARTIN'S MANAGEMENT CONTRACT FOR SANDIA
ALBUQUERQUE, NM, December 13th, 2002 -- Sandia National Laboratories President and Director C. Paul Robinson said today the Department of Energy's intent to extend Lockheed Martin Corporation's management contract for Sandia provides continuity for Sandia and will benefit the nation. "This is very welcome news. It is good to know that we will not face the distractions of a contract competition at this time of critical national challenge, and the possibility of disruption in the management and culture of the laboratories," Robinson said.
Robinson's comments came after DOE Secretary Spencer Abraham announced during a visit to Sandia that the department is renewing Lockheed Martin Corporation's management contract for Sandia for another five years. The new contract will take effect Oct. 1, 2003, and be in place until Sept. 30, 2008. Lockheed Martin Corporation's current management contract began Oct. 1, 1993.
"I am delighted with the announcement that Secretary Abraham made today - that he intends to extend the contract for Lockheed Martin to manage and operate Sandia," Robinson said. "Lockheed Martin has proved to be a conscientious and wise corporate parent as well as an outstanding corporate citizen. They have created a world-class board of directors here, and have demonstrated a strong commitment to our community.
"Today's announcement is just as important to the people of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Livermore, California, as it is to the folks who work here at Sandia National Laboratories."
Under Lockheed Martin Corporation's management, Sandia has consistently received outstanding performance ratings from the DOE and National Nuclear Security Administration.

FarmVille login issues are common and generally related to Facebook login issues. FarmVille as a standalone application on the Facebook platform does not have a unique login for its service. The best way to log in to FarmVille is to first log in to Facebook then navigate via your apps to the FarmVille icon and start playing your game. Access the FarmVille login via the Facebook page.
Background
FarmVille is one of the most popular online games in the entire world! FarmVille is a leader in social gaming, meaning that the game is played wholly on Facebook and users interact on the Facebook platform to play the game. Zynga is the publisher and developer of FarmVille and is based our of San Francisco, CA. Zynga was founded by Mark Pincus, an outspoken entrepreneur which a flair for making flashy moves. FarmVille is the most popular Zynga title but has recently been eclipsed by CityVille, another Zynga title.
Competitors
FarmVille has a ton of competitors, including other Zynga games like CityVille and FrontierVille. Other publishers with games that compete with FarmVille are Playdom, Playfish, and Kabam, which makes strategy games. Overall, FarmVille is one of the top games on Facebook and will likely remain so unless user habits change.
Common Issues
The most common issue with FarmVille is finding the FarmVille login inside Facebook. The solution is actually fairly simple and just involves navigating to the apps portion of the lefthand navigation bar in the Facebook interface. They you can easily click on FarmVille to log in to the service.
FarmVille login issues and interruptions can be caused by having an out-of-date version of Flash, the technology that powers FarmVille graphics. Flash is a browser-based application runtime that power a ton of rich internet applications like FarmVille. Download Flash to resolve any FarmVille issues related to Adobe Flash.
FarmVille Statistics
FarmVille has over 46 million monthly active users (MAU), meaning that over 46 million unique Facebook users log into FarmVille every thirty days! From a daily active user perspective, FarmVille has only 12 million daily active users (DAU), meaning that in the last day only 12 million users logged into FarmVille. See below for a chart that shows that daily active user trend for April/May for FarmVille logins.
Zynga is the behemoth social gaming company behind FarmVille, with a ton of other titles like CityVille. Over the past year, Zynga login traffic to their website has increased dramatically as users attempt to login to key games like FarmVille, which is their 2nd largest game after CityVille.
ScamVille Controversy
In October of 2009, Michael Arrington lambasted Zynga and FarmVille for what he termed, “The social gaming ecosystem of hell” aka ScamVille. Arrington criticizes FarmVille for offering incentivized downloads for partner apps and services in an attempt to drive customer acquisition. The bulk of his fury was leveled against ringtone offers that rebill customers without their consent.

Marriage & Civil Partnerships
American citizens coming to the United Kingdom to marry British citizens or persons settled here, or to register as Civil Partners, generally require entry clearance from UK authorities. Clearance must be obtained in advance of arrival.
If you are in the United States and need more information, consult the website of the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., at. If you are outside the United States, but not in the United Kingdom, consult. If you are already in the United Kingdom, see.
Failure to comply with the requirement for entry clearance may result in refusal of entry to the United Kingdom.
Civil (Non-Religious) Marriages
In general, for a civil marriage, both contracting parties must:
- observe the statutory residence requirements (see below);
- be at least 16 years old;
- obtain parental consent in writing if either party is under age 18, unless one is a widow or widower;
- if previously married, produce evidence that they are currently free to marry (for example, the original or a certified copy of the former spouse's death certificate or of the divorce decree); and
- arrange for two witnesses to be present at the marriage and to sign the Marriage Register.
People subject to immigration control who wish to marry in the United Kingdom must:
- hold entry clearance as a fiancé/e or marriage visitor, or
- hold a Home Office certificate of approval, or
- be a person with settled status in the United Kingdom (e.g. indefinite leave to remain).
Who regulates civil marriages in England and Wales?
The Registrar's Office for each district. To find the nearest Registrar, look under "Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages" in the telephone directory, or call Directory Assistance (192). The Registrar takes the Notice of Marriage (the license application), issues the certificate, and conducts the ceremony. For most visiting Americans, the most centrally located Registrar's Office is at Westminster Council House, Marylebone Road, London SW1E 6QP (Tel: 020-7641-1161).
How do I obtain a certificate?
There is a seven-day residence requirement for both parties; on the eighth day, both give "Notice of Intent to Marry" to the local Registrar's Office for the district in which they have been staying. A further 15-day waiting period must lapse before the marriage may take place. It is preferable that both parties give notice at the same time. Each party also is required to declare nationality and provide evidence of identification.
Religious marriages in England and Wales
Church of England authorities advise that marriage in an Anglican church between two foreigners or between a foreigner and a British citizen should be by ecclesiastical license arranged through the vicar of the church in which they wish to be married. For information on marriage in accordance with Anglican rites, consult The Faculty Office, 1 The Sanctuary, London SW1P 3JS (Tel: 020-7222-5381). Protestants of other denominations or Quakers should consult the clergyman or governing body of the respective denomination. Roman Catholic authorities advise that parties should give at least six weeks' notice to the parish priest prior to the marriage to allow time for instruction, collection of documents, publication of banns, and other formalities. If the parties do not reside in the parish, they will need letters from the parish priests of their home parishes giving permission for the celebration of the marriage elsewhere. Jewish marriages may be performed under the auspices of a registered synagogue and entered in the synagogue's marriage register. Further information may be obtained from the Office of the Chief Rabbi, 735 High Road, London N12 0US (Tel: 020-8343-8989). For religions not mentioned, please contact the appropriate governing authority.
Can a marriage take place anywhere?
Marriages can be performed by a Registrar at any location, provided the venue is licensed, approved, and registered for the purpose of marriage by the local government authority. Licensed venues may include hotels, public houses, and stately homes. For a fee, the Registrar from the district where you reside may perform the marriage in another district's licensed venue. Fees vary according to the time and date you wish the marriage to take place. For a list of venues and fees, contact the nearest Registrar.
Is a marriage performed in the United Kingdom valid in the United States?
In general, regardless of the nationality or religion of the persons married, marriages legally performed in the United Kingdom are also legally valid in the United States.
What is the role of the Embassy?
The Embassy has no role in the process, other than to administer oaths on documents as a notary service. American diplomatic and consular officers may not perform marriages or serve as witnesses. Marriages may not take place at the Embassy.
Is citizenship affected by marriage?
No. An American citizen marrying a foreign national does not lose American citizenship, nor does he/she automatically acquire British citizenship if marrying a British citizen. Similarly, a foreign national does NOT acquire American citizenship simply by marriage to an American citizen. After marriage, an American citizen may amend his/her surname to reflect his/her married name by presenting his/her U.S. passport and a certified copy of the marriage certificate to a consular official at the Embassy. For more information, see our passports information pages. A foreign national spouse who intends to reside in the United States must obtain a U.S. immigrant visa prior to entering the United States.
Civil Partnerships
The UK Civil Partnership Act 2004 came into operation on December 5, 2005, and enables a same-sex couple to register as civil partners of each other. A civil partnership can be registered in England and Wales in a register office or in approved premises. For more information, see. Note that, as for marriage, entry clearance must be obtained in advance of arrival from UK authorities. Please refer to the links above.
Under U.S. law (the Defense of Marriage Act 1996), a civil partnership registration cannot be used as the basis for an immediate name change in a U.S. passport, nor can it be used as the basis for a U.S. immigration benefit. For more information related to immigration, see the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service website.
