749cc, 146bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
The 2004 and 2005 Suzuki GSX-R750s are almost perfect. The new radial brakes solved the slight stopping issues of the last incarnation, the styling's on the money and the motor and chassis are better than most of us can ever hope to fully exploit. The only fly in the 10/40W is the K5 GSX-R1000, which is so utterly brilliant there ...
599cc, 92bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 14
A raw, involving, lunatic on wheels. The more throttle-happy you are with it, the more the Suzuki GSX-R600 will thrill. Virtually dead low down, wake it up at higher revs and you'll be clinging on for dear life. Not as finely honed as today's Suzuki GSX-R600 but, for some, that just adds to the manic appeal. Ridiculous, dangerous fun.

A Trip to India: La Jollans visit agencies that aid women, children
By Ashley Mackin
Several women from La Jolla embarked on a trip to India last November to see how the programs implemented by San Diego-based Project Concern International (PCI) are working out.
As financial contributors, they checked out the Vulnerable Children program, which establishes "shelter homes" that take in homeless children and teach them skills they can later apply to a job, and they saw how the Women Empowerment Program (WEP) is changing the financial situation for women in rural India.
PCI board chair Anne Otterson was one of them. Otterson said that though she takes trips to the many countries where PCI has programs — including Ethiopia and Tanzania — the trip to India was "the most satisfying."
Via e-mail, Otterson said, "In Delhi, (through the Vulnerable Children program) we engaged with young people having a remarkable agility and endurance joyfully pursuing skills that will enable them to climb out of poverty with future employment." For example, the vocational center attached to the shelter home teaches women to sew and apply makeup, so many of them later get jobs at companies in India and other countries.
"For all of us, it was humbling to see how most of the world lives," Otterson said. "These trips do effect a change in one's life from that moment on."
A Family Affair
For Molly Eldredge, the trip was a family affair. Through The Bishop's School, her daughters Maddy and Annie went on a similar trip to India to visit PCI's programs in 2011 and April 2013, and stayed at PCI shelter homes. During their visits, the daughters each befriended a buddy.
During her trip, Eldredge got to meet her daughters' buddies, whose faces she had only known through picture frames in her daughters' rooms. "It was such an incredible experience for another mother and myself (whose daughter went to India in 2011 as well) to see and meet these kids. It was a full-circle experience to see what my children saw," she said.
As a mother, seeing the children in these conditions resonated with Eldredge and left her pondering her life back home. "It's very emotional going into these (shelter) homes and centers and meeting these kids. You think of your own children and ask yourself why are we the lucky ones, with the opportunities we have, while these kids have nothing," she said. "I wanted to take as many as I could and bring them all home. When you look at these kids with so little, you want them to have every opportunity your own children have."
When they left, Eldredge said she vowed to return with her whole family. She also said she especially appreciated the child and maternal health program, where volunteers go to remote villages and try to educate women — most of whom are illiterate — on the importance of maternal health, immunizations and nutrition.
A ripple effect
Lynn Gorguze said the programs have a ripple effect, providing skills to women and children. "They don't need funding from an outside source for the program to continue," she said. "It's the model of 'if you teach a woman in the community, she will teach other women.'" To date, approximately 250,000 women have been taught skills and given information they can, in turn, teach others.

An Official Newspaper of the
Internet Community
Michael D. Miness, president of the Glengariff Corporation, has filed a 52-page legal brief with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn seeking to reverse the decision of Nassau County Supreme Court Justice John DiNoto who dismissed Mr. Miness' libel action against the Glen Cove GOP and David Zatlin. According to the suit, Miness charges that the GOP, in its publication, The Glen Cove Republican, defamed him with claims that he and Glengariff had made contributions to the campaign of Mayor Thomas Suozzi for the purpose of buying the mayor's silence on a Glengariff application before the Glen Cove planning board to construct an additional nursing home facility.
Board chairman Phil Como called the Oct. 27 meeting to order at 8 p.m. The five member board and the Sea Cliff Village attorney were present. Thirteen residents of the community made up the audience.
The Big Red lost a heartbreaker last Saturday against the Mineola Mustangs, 6-0. The scoring took place early in the first half as the two teams locked into a defensive struggle. Even though the Big Red had their undefeated season ended, the defense stepped up and played a superb game. Defensive end Dave Graziosi totaled three quarterback sacks, while linebackers Jason Watson, Guido Penafiel and Jon Torres went sideline to sideline making tackles. The defensive front was also rock-solid. Mark Norman, Ian McCloskey, Brad Beisler and Angelo Fillippone held off a hefty Mustang line. The Mustangs were held to 135 total yards, 93 rushing and 42 passing.
Last Saturday North Shore played one of their toughest rivals, Cold Spring Harbor, trading off touchdowns, for a well matched game. Both teams struggled to stay on top, neither team dominated. After an initial touchdown by Cold Spring Harbor's SeaHawks, North Shore took the lead 7-6 in the second quarter and were able to hold it, until late in the third quarter, when the SeaHawks came back with a touchdown and a two point conversion play completing the final score of 14-7.

Standard Stereo Recording Techniques in Non-Standard Situations
Most techniques of stereo recording have been developed for fixed stage applications. That is, they are designed to simulate a listener's relationship to an audio event, preserving as much spatial information-depth, left-right imaging, and room characteristics as is deemed desirable. Much debate is made of the technical elegance and aesthetic appropriateness of one technique or another. For many real life applications, however, these parameters are irrelevant. This study explores some such situations, and discusses how standard procedures may apply.

What do serving platters and floss have in common?
It has to do with candy.
No, not cinnamon. Think green.
If you guessed mint, you'd be right.
Now hold that thought.
When Mel decided to make this starlight mint platter, she figured it wouldn't be too hard: melt some candies on a cookie sheet, let 'em cool and ta-da! A little candy platter on which to put delicious holiday snacks.
Apparently, there was some discussion between Mel and her husband about following the directions. "We decided to stick to the original directions," she said.
Use the proper starlight mints – because if you use the wrong kind, that can mess things up. Check.
Lay them out in neat little rows. Check.
On top of wax paper. Check.
Steal a moment between all the holiday baking and place the mints in the oven. Check.
Let bake 8-10 minutes. Check.
Next up? Christmas cookies.
Wait a minute.
Something happened between 8 and 10 minutes to those starlight mints. Uncheck.
So much for following directions. Maybe there was some secret step somewhere that no one mentioned. Perhaps it's just a lot harder than it looks.
Mel said her whole house smelled like dental floss afterwards and there was no platter to show for it – just blobs of white and green. That and a minty aroma for that just-brushed feeling.
Nailed it!

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) - Authorities have identified a 49-year-old man who police say was shot dead while trying to break in to his estranged girlfriend's Henderson apartment.
Clark County coroner's officials say Frank Brzozowski was killed about 2 a.m. Sunday on Green Valley Parkway.
Police say he and the woman had argued at a party, and she took him to his house before returning to her own apartment.
Officials say the woman invited a male acquaintance over because she feared her boyfriend would come back.
Police say the boyfriend later tried to enter her apartment through a window and kept advancing after the male acquaintance warned that he was armed.
The man shot the boyfriend, who died on the scene.
Prosecutors are expected to review the case to determine whether charges should be filed.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - There's now a $500,000 mystery associated with the re-election campaign of Gov. Rick Scott.
Last year, a political organization helping Scott reported receiving a $500,000 check from Florida Crystals, a leading sugar grower in the state.
It was one of the largest checks that Let's Get to Work reported receiving in 2013. But state records now no longer list the sizable donation.
John French, an attorney and chairman of the group, would only say that the listing of the donation was a "mistake" and an "accounting error." A spokesman for Florida Crystals also said it was an accounting error.
Earlier this month, Scott's organization closed its accounts and transferred $27.3 million to a new political committee that is also called Let's Get to Work.

martial arts... WITH GUNS! Essentially, the main point of Gun Fu is the liberal application of Rule of Cool to firearms. Expect lots of Guns Akimbo, Pistol-Whipping, and a heat-packing version of the Offhand Backhand. While pistols are the most common weapon, it can also be done with anything else you could reasonably consider a firearm - Uzis, the Sawn Off Shotgun, even rocket launchers, as long as you hold it in your hands and fire it. Occasionally, they mix in a little standard martial arts. It's become very common in modern action movies. Why? Rule of Cool, that's why! John Woo pretty much invented it in 1986 with A Better Tomorrow, which launched the Heroic Bloodshed genre in Hong Kong. Shortly afterwards, these sequences began popping up everywhere. Chow Yun-Fat, who became an iconic image with a gun in each hand, starred in most of Woo's later films. Now it must be clear that this is not Gun Kata. It's a close relative. That trope is more about strategic dodging and aiming with guns, while this is about acrobatics with guns. Both are graceful and cool to an almost obscene degree, but Gun Fu is probably the more plausible of the two. Although both involve Improbable Aiming Skills. And yes, you can use both at the same time. Has roots in Wuxia. Compare Implausible Fencing Powers, just with swords.

A northern Indiana military school says a graduate's donation is allowing it to stave off being closed.
Howe Military Academy says its Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday to keep the doors of the 130- year-old school open for the coming school year.
A statement from board president Michael Burns says projected enrollment justified continuing with the school in the town of Howe about 40 miles east of South Bend.
School officials had said that this spring they needed to raise $2 million after years of languishing enrollment.
The school had 73 students in grades 6-12 this year, including 16 students who graduated Saturday.
One board member said Howe needed 110 students to break even.
Vigil honors 2 slain inside Indianapolis
Dozens of people gathered in prayer during a vigil near the Indianapolis home where an 84-year-old woman and her adult granddaughter were killed by a gunman who was later fatally shot by a police officer.
Mourners joined together Sunday evening to remember 84-year-old Julia Morrow and 30-year-old Inity Morrow two days after they were killed inside their home on the city's east side.
Oasis of Hope Baptist Church pastor Frank Alexander offered a prayer for a city he said has gone wild with homicides.
Alexander says many in the neighborhood are long-time residents and such violence devastates the community.
Officer Greg Milburn and 36-year-old Quintico Goolsby exchanged gunfire outside the Morrow home Friday morning.
Goolsby was killed, while Milburn survived a bullet hitting his protective vest.
More cable barriers being installed
Contractors are starting to fit sections of two interstates in central and western Indiana with more than 50 miles of cable safety barriers intended to prevent deadly crashes.
The fence-like cable barriers can prevent vehicles from crossing highway medians and colliding with oncoming traffic.
The Indiana Department of Transportation says a contractor will begin work Monday installing 40 miles of cable barriers along Interstate 70 in Clay, Putnam, Morgan and Hendricks counties. That $2 million project should be done by late November.
Another contractor will install 11 miles of cable barriers along I-65 in Tippecanoe and White counties. That $626,000 project will be completed in late October.
Indiana has installed 369 miles of median cable barrier statewide since 2005 at a cost of nearly $31 million.
Purdue warns of armyworms
Purdue Extension entomologists are warning Indiana farmers to scout their cornfields for signs that a pest called the armyworm is busy laying eggs in those fields.
The entomologists say cornfields that still have dense grassy vegetation, such as wheat, grass hay or grass cover crops are at highest risk from armyworm infestations.
They say farmers who planted no-till corn into a grass cover crop, especially annual rye, need to look over their fields for signs of armyworm feeding.
The pest can cause devastating damage to cornfields. Corn damaged by armyworm feeding has a ragged appearance, with damage extending from the leaf margin toward the midrib.
With high enough armyworm populations, most of the plant can be eaten.
Jeffersonville gets grant to clean up
A southern Indiana city is getting a $400,000 federal grant to help it clean up some of its old industrial sites.
Half of Jeffersonville's brownfield grant from the Environmental Protection Agency will be used for properties tainted with hazardous substances and the other half for sites polluted with petroleum. The grant also covers inventory and planning for potential cleanups.
Jeffersonville grant administrator DeLynn Draper-Rutherford says the cleanup work could encourage developers to invest in brownfields because the initial steps for rehabilitation would be done before they obtain the property.
She also says the Ohio River city could file insurance claims as far back as 50 years, citing the contamination, and settlement money could also go toward redevelopment.
Requests for proposals for environmental assessors will be submitted in October.
Organizers shorten Skelton Festival
Organizers of an annual festival toasting the life of comedian Red Skelton have shortened this year's event in Skelton's southwestern Indiana hometown in hopes of attracting bigger crowds.
Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy marketing director Anne Pratt tells the Vincennes Sun-Commercial organizers of the June 6-7 Red Skelton Festival believe holding all the festivities in just two days and in one place will draw more people.
The annual festival had previously lasted a week and been held at various locations in Vincennes.
Next weekend's festival will be held entirely on Vincennes' Patrick Henry Square.
Skelton died in 1997 at age 84. The comic had a big impact on early television and comedy with characters such as Freddie the Freeloader, on The Red Skelton Show.

Microsoft's Mountain man sees Jobsian past in .NET
Nearly 10 years ago, Dan'l Lewin was given an almost unenviable role - to be Microsoft's ambassador in Silicon Valley, a place hostile towards his new employer. But this former senior Apple executive asked for it. Lewin was named vice-president of .NET development in January 2001, with the job of bringing start-ups and partners …
Historical perspective
Sorry but as a long-time Apple fan(boy-no-more) I must comment on the historical perspective of a sentence in this article.
You mention:
"as director of education marketing and sales between 1981 and 1984, he ran Apple's University Consortium program, putting Macs into the hands of students and teaching staff. This solidified the Mac's presence in learning."
Nice.. But the mac has been launched in January1984 being hardly available to mass-market for the first three months. Mr. Lewin (which I profoundly respect for his work) might not have been very influential during such a brief time lapse.
At the time the Apple II was very strong in the traditional educational market (up to high schools); the Mac has been promoted upwards, the target being University and research. Nonetheless resistance has been high in the beginning due to the very limited memory the Mac offered. My perception is that it wasn't until the "Fat Mac" was available that the educational market found the platform of any use.
Whatever. .Net is today Microsoft's best weapon. Redmond (or should I say: Mountain View) is and will be relevant because it offers a continuous development model that starts from the desktop, passes through the Cloud and lands to mobile (some work to be done there but eventually they will deliver).
Remember IBM
In public
We're the market leader due to our state of the art technology.
In private (at DoJ anti trust hearings)
Our biggest strength was our army of sales staff with well developed relationships with the Finance and Accounts departments.
Microsoft's greatest strength is still its near monopoly on the desktop and creation of a generation of IT types who know *nothing* of any non-Microsoft servers and little about alternate desktops.
Ballmer knows this. He may be know technie but he understands the strenghth of market dominance.
Anyone looking at a cross platform (or at least platform fairly neutral) solution should look at the history of something. In .Net's case what else does it run on.
Barking in the wrong forest
The future of computing doesn't lie in one bloated OS or one bloated programming language.
It belongs to open standards and open communications methods. Even MS, Apple and Adobe will have to use these eventually.
The future belongs to open standards
...says who?
Seems to me things a shaping up a little proprietary to me.
Google (services) on Google (cloud) in Google (browser) on Google (variant of Linux).
Microsoft (services) in Microsoft (browser) on Microsoft (OS) with Microsoft (server stack).
Oracle (middleware) on Oracle (database) on Oracle (OS) on Oracle (hardware)
Redhat (middleware) on Redhat (OS) inside Redhat (Virtualisation stack)
etc. for any large company you can think of.
"Open standards" appear to be very bad for business. The goal that the companies with actual money are working on seems to be:
Make a giant stack of interconnected software and hardware.
Obtain customers.
Lock customers in.
Where or how or what exactly is the big whozawhatzit that is magically going to alter this? Seems to me the 00's were about good as it's ever going to get for "free (libre) and open." The 201Xs are all going to be about stupendously massive consolidation of computing into big, integrated mega corps that will only work together when a government forces them too.
I'd honestly be very happy to be wrong about all of this.
True but not quite
You are correct on certain things like, say, everything Google does is not exactly 'open' to put it mildly.
However, if you're going to mention Redhat middleware, OS and virtualisation you should probably mention that all three of these things are completely open and can and are used as individual components either with some other flavor of OS, middleware or virtualisation. This means no lock in.
To make it clear, JBos is open source, completely open. Yes Redhat owns it, you do not have to used Redhat linux to use JBos. The OS is a distribution of linux. Enough said. There's nothing that locks you into Redhat Linux unless you count support contracts that most companies insist on having and the name 'Redhat' just makes them feel better.
Then virtualisation - unless I am mistaken Redhat used to use Xen as it's main virtualisation software. Xen is again open source, owned by Citrix. No lock in. You can startup a xen instance that used to run on redhat on any other linux running the same xen version.
Now I think they use KVM. Again, this is open source and part of the mainline kernel. No lock in.
A bit different from a closed source DB, a closed source OS (solaris), closed source middleware (oracle's), a not really 'open' open browser (chrome) and associated services in the 'cloud' or as it was known all of two years ago, the 'Internet'.
Redhat is "open," (as in FOSS,) but it is not "interoperable."
Oh, it may be open source, and you can certainly fork the project, or tinker with any part of it you wish...but the various strands of Linux have diverged from one another quite a bit. The simple fact that the various distributions are package (and sometimes binary) incompatible makes things difficult unless the project is actively maintained or ported. (Or you are willing to toss gobs of time and money at it to do yourself.)
Redhat-based disties are Redhat based disties. Debian based is Debian based. Even simple things like vi behave differently between them. For all intents and purposes I consider the various distie "strands" as completely separate and non-interoperable operating systems. (Just as I consider Google's strand of Linux to be separate, distinct, and non-interoperable.) (I often compare it to NT-based Windows versus 9.X-based windows.)
Linux doesn't really talk all that well to anything that isn't Linux, (not the fault of the various projects underway to solve this...but the proprietary companies constantly release a new standard, then document it badly.) Lack of interoperability with proprietary platforms (regardless of who is to blame for that) further isolates Linux from everything else, making it just as much of a self-contained silo as the proprietary stacks.
I understand that if I have committed to JBoss, or KVM, I can take my information in those apps and move it to another distro. With enough tweaking, maybe it could be made to work on a SuSE stack or a Debian stack…but this still requires a massive outlay of testing and certification time. Time is money, especially in corporate IT. Do all the dependency programs and libraries exist? Have they been ported to the appropriate platform? Are there behavioural discrepancies in file system or file handling, etc? Even *if* I can get my app running on two separate disties, there is a whole other round of testing to ensure it runs in the same fashion. (For an example, see vi's behavioural differences on Debian disties versus Redhat disties.)
Linux isn't free...at the enterprise level, (where things like JBoss and suchlike play,) you not only buy Enterprise licensing, you spend a lot of time and money testing and certifying. For all that effort, I still can't make JBoss interoperate with anything from MS, Oracle Google etc. Even if I have the pleasure of (maybe) being able to port my app from one Linux distro to another...what interoperability does that actually buy you?
Please understand I am not bashing Linux in any way here. My statements above come from the fact that my job entails a lot of interoperability work. Getting the various strands of Linux to coexist, talk to Solaris, Windows, BSD and $deity only knows what else is a big part of my year. In my mind, open source or not...from any practical standpoint Linux distribution strands are isolated entities.
The new NextSTEP?
I suppose so. It's got the vendor lock-in. Pretty much the only take up in the first ten years has been amongst the VB crowd, who already *had* all that vendor lock-in, as they discovered when the vendor in question took away their language and ordered them all to use .NET instead.
Anyone with a choice has used a language that is either standard or free. If you are a software house, betting the farm on someone else's business plans just doesn't make sense. I note that MS themselves conspicuously failed to throw all their eggs into the IA-64 basket.
Just hang on there ...
"Pretty much the only take up in the first ten years has been amongst the VB crowd, who already *had* all that vendor lock-in, as they discovered when the vendor in question took away their language and ordered them all to use .NET instead."
Actually, MS were pretty brave to do that, VB was one of the most popular languages back in 2001 and they risked alienating (and did) a tremendous number of developers who could jump ship. Having developed in VB and VB.Net, I will say that VB.Net is a much more elegant and modern language. VB had become an illogical mess and needed a ground up rewrite. I think as well, there's been plenty of take up of C# and not just from ex VB developers. I'll say this quietly, its not unknown for some Java developers to prefer C# and .Net.
@John Smith 19
"In .Net's case what else does it run on." ?
Well er let me see...oh that's it, how about Linux!! Check out the Mono project John!
Oh and if that doesn't float your boat, you could always write ASP.Net web apps. They'll run in all the major browsers across all the main platforms.
But having said that, I think MS should push .Net's cross platform capabilities much much further, particularly on mobiles. Forget the iPhone it's a closed book but wouldn't it be great if MS agressively developed .Net to run on all the other major mobile platforms.
Mono != .Net (and probably never will)
.Net runs only on Windows. End of discussion.
Silverlight is slightly better, running on Windows and OS X.
Neither run on Linux, and probably never will.
Despite the hard work done by the Mono and Moonlight teams, they are simply pissing in the wind. They are always at least one version behind and have serious compatibility short-comings that render any attempt to use a .Net/Silverlight application on Linux futile.
This isn't the fault of those teams, it is MS policy. Having these projects around allows MS to crow about being cross-platform without actually having to be cross-platform at all. The documentation is still withheld and there is precious little (if any) support.
When I can go to an MS site, download an MS made .rpm/.deb/whatever and install a current package that has 100% compatibility with the same version on Windows THEN we can say that .Net runs on non-Windows OSs.
Until then the best we can say is "A sub-set of a previous version that had to be reverse engineered, may run on a non-Window platform but compatibility cannot be guaranteed and the execution may suffer instability, errors and crashes because of this. Therefore the deployment must be considered a technical exercise and must not be used in production in any capacity."
Oh, and before people mentions in, WINE should not be used in production either. And that's according to WINE themselves!
If, of course, you develop in Mono or Moonlight, THAT should work cross-platform. But then you are not developing a .Net solution, it's a Mono solution.
I remember first seeing one of those Microsoft adverts that bleated about "interoperability" like the management had just found a new term that sounds cool.
I had to check the date. Nope, definitely wasn't April 1st.
If only this was well and truly in the past.
Sometimes el reg comes out and suddenly, inexplicably fails the snark. Instead of biting, it softly pecks, cooing. Oh what have you done for us!
A good question. What HAVE they done? Waylaid innovation, crushed entire companies, lied in public about it. Lied in court, too. Lobbied itself out of court, out of taxes, out of most everything. They can, they're sitting on a veritable hoard of blood money. ``Perfecting technologies''? Embrace and extend, they call it. They know about interop, alright. They're experts at subtly breaking it. Even their ``document format standard'', standardised through force-feeding it to several standards organisations like you stuff a goose (and breaking one while at it because their shills no longer show up for other meetings), doesn't have a single compliant implementation. What's that? Yes, their own implementation isn't compliant with their own standard. In the long string of such moments, this is a particularly crowning moment of micros~1.
So what was the point here? Reminiscing about a dark and stormy past, hoping that by adding a rosy light the crimes against technology fade a bit quicker? Are they trying to divert attention from their latest fsck-ups, like volume licensing? What shoe are they about to drop now?
Mr Pot meets Mr Kettle
"Even their ``document format standard'', standardised through force-feeding it to several standards organisations like you stuff a goose (and breaking one while at it because their shills no longer show up for other meetings), doesn't have a single compliant implementation."
You mean like Open Office isn't fully compliant with ODF 1.2? And I've always wondered why Elreg never covered the political machinations involved in getting the OSI to adopt ODF as a "paper standard", with no real world implementations, purely for the purpose of scuttling Microsoft.
So you're saying...
...that because of flaws in OOo's ODF (initiated on OSI invitation, if memory serves), micros~1's retribution to that by astroturfing and shill proxying and everything else they've done is therefore excused? I think I'll trust bistromath before I trust your take on the bill.
Besides, micros~1 was never prevented from getting a copy of the standard and implementing it, or even from co-operating with OOo to work on ODF. It makes perfect sense for OSI to invite OOo to start work on ODF, them being an open source shop and thus used to open specifications, for the express purpose of coming up with an Open Document Format, without assuming malice. But please show how OSI was malicious towards micros~1 in doing what they do best, namely stanardising things and publishing the results. Your special math and all.
not quite "Open"
@serendipity: Mono is a nice idea and Microsoft seems to be helping it along.
But "open" does not apply. The patent pledges given by Microsoft are restricted and do not apply to everybody. For example, to the best of my knowledge, you can't do a commercial application with Mono unless it's running on Novell/Suse.
If MS wants to spur open .NET and Mono then do it. What it is doing now is the same old suck-em-in and extinguish.
"For example, to the best of my knowledge, you can't do a commercial application with Mono unless it's running on Novell/Suse."
...and your point is ??
@Steen Hive: As far as I am aware (and I've looked), the patent pledge from Microsoft covers non-commercial use, and commercial use on Novell. There might be more but these are the only ones I found.
If you're saying that Unity has one too, then great for Unity.
My point is that if a company develops and sells an application based on Mono, then both the company and its customers are at risk of a parent infringement lawsuit from Microsoft. If you believe this not to be true then provide the details
Where am I????
Did I fall asleep while El Reg lost its spine?!
"Microsoft's spent decades perfecting identity, directories, presence, and management that underpin things like location-based services in Exchange, Outlook, and Windows."
To excrete such a sentence with nary a drop of bile is a grotesque blot on The Register's once-proud escutcheon. That's a frickin' _vulture_ up there, innit?!
Save the puffery for elsewhere, please.
Did Lewin's PR people write this
ignoring the fact that you open with the assertion that Amazon as based in the Valley (they're just down the road from Microsoft in Seattle) and end with referencing his 34 year history at Microsoft (and ramble on about location based services in Exchange!) this whole thing reads like some fluff peice put together to try and create a public persona to lend him some credibility.
And look how well the MySpace deal has gone as that spirals into the dust
Lewin has had zero public profile but since they exported Don Dodge to the Chocolate Factory I imagine they desperately need a new public figure to speak at events and host panels and glad hand the fellow fake tan crowd
Slow news day?
Is based in Washington State where Microsoft is, not in Silicon Valley which is in the State of California.
Microsoft Fanboys Wrote It
Oft-repeated wishful thinking from Microsoft fanboys: "Meanwhile, Apple has become re-invigorated, partly with the help of a cash infusion from Microsoft in the late 1990s."
Check any reliable history on the event. Microsoft was allowed to make a pittance $150M investment in Apple as a sign that Microsoft planned to continue support for Macintosh, so that Mac users might not be frightened away from Microsoft Office.
Apple didn't need the money. Microsoft made a huge profit on the deal both in stock and Office sales.
OED anyone?
"This was Microsoft's brand-new application framework that used and consumed the then equally new open-specifications and standards XML and SOAP and talked web services."
So this is why XML, SOAP etc don't really work - they've been consumed by .NET!
Does this make any sense?
.NET sitting on top of OS (with security, performance, breeches, ... updates)
OS sitting on hardware (with security, performance, breeches, ... updates)
hardware (with security, performance, breeches, drivers ... updates)
Yes, all very voltage and power intensive yes?
Now how about .NET being hardware based (or at least the founding principles upon which it is based)?
"Well er let me see...oh that's it, how about Linux!! Check out the Mono project John!"
Neatly handled by the AC who posted after you I think.
"Oh and if that doesn't float your boat, you could always write ASP.Net web apps. They'll run in all the major browsers across all the main platforms."
Active Server Pages I presume. That would be where the server executes the script much in the same way the 1st web servers emulated the web page then copied it wholesale to dumb terminals (good implementation tricks never get old but they can get forgotten) . So *obviously* they should run on *any* browser. Which web servers support that?
Seriously I do get that some people like some of the features that .Net has given them but would prefer if they could host it on something else. I can certainly understand MS not wanting to do this themselves.
Where I and the Mono/Moonlight developers part company is that I can quite easily understand why MS would *never* want it to happen. Not that ehy won't do it, that they will take active steps (or should I say pages) to prevent it. However I had thought MS was *compelled" to publish details of all Windows interfaces, which along with the developer kits should list enough API entries, return codes, headers, data structures and overviews to make the port *fairly* easy.
Basically Linux is code, .Net is code. Different calling conventions, data structures etc. If you're looking at a different implementation language I could see big problems there, but as a clean room implementation you don't *have* the .Net source code to begin with. You're mapping (or even easier) duplicating data structures under one OS in another. then you're mapping the I/P and O/P specs from each API to your new. Lots of bulk but the first cut should be eyeballing the D/S and API calls in *detail*, then developing a set of replacement macros to break the back of the problem, before humans start chomping on it.
I do wish the developers well. They seem to want Moonlight/mono to be free, in the sense of freedom.
They (you?) might like to remember that freedom (especially where *any* large corporations business is concerned) is *never* given, it is taken.
Li'l problem with "centrifugal".
A quote from the story: "Google has emerged as a centrifugal force for the web, society, and development." The sentence does not mean what the author thinks it does. Possibly he meant to write "centripetal force". Or, less likely, "centralizing". But certainly he is misusing "centrifugal".

Deputies in Natchitoches Parish say they've made arrests in what they call the most "severe and disturbing" case of human trafficking they've ever investigated.
The arrests were made following a joint investigation by the Sheriff's Office in Natchitoches Parish, the Natchitoches Parish District Attorney's Office, and Louisiana State Police.
Deputies say the assistant town marshal called them to say he found a female victim with a logging chain around her, attached to a bucket, at a business near the Intersections of Interstate-49 and University Parkway (La. Hwy 6 West) near Natchitoches, La.
Deputies say the victim had been held captive and chained against her will for several days in the 500 block of Dick Anderson Road near Ajax, La. , in northwest Natchitoches Parish.
While being held captive, the victim said she was able to free herself and take one of the suspect's vehicles. Deputies took her to the hospital, and she was said to be suffering from numerous lacerations and bruises to her body. Deputies say the logging chain was removed by Natchitoches firemen; the victim was placed in protective custody.
Detectives say during their investigation they learned that the victim was an out-of-state resident who met a couple from Ajax online and agreed to move into their home several months ago. The couple has been identified as David Rodriguez Jr. and Christina Marie Harper. The victim told deputies Rodriguez drove to the victim's out-of-state home to help her pack her belongings to move to Louisiana. After moving in, Rodriguez allegedly made the victim turn over all her cash and relinquish ownership of a 1999 Harley Davidson motorcyle. Soon afterwards the victim was allegedly tattooed by Rodriguez with a tattoo registering her as a slave on a website.
The victim told deputies she was given a list of daily chores to complete by her master which included serving meals, drinks, taking care of animals, leveling dirt for a swimming pool, installing a swimming pool, digging trenches, removing fallen trees and performing sexual acts. Detectives say if the victim failed to perform any assigned duties, she was subject to beatings and discipline by Rodriguez, Harper, and a third person identified as Amber Lomas. The punishments allegedly included beatings, carving initials into undisclosed areas of her body, being tazed and urine being thrown on her.
At some point, the beatings and discipline became so severe, the victim allegedly told her master that she wanted to leave, which she said led to her being chained outside in the woods. She said she was then moved into a building where she was fed once a day and given limited water and urine to drink.
NPSO Chief Investigator Greg Dunn says on June 4th, detectives executed a search warrant on the couple's residence located in the 500 block of Dick Anderson Road, near Ajax, La. Deputies say they seized fifteen firearms, a stun gun, four computers, 2-tablet computers, three external hard drives, one digital camera, one digital video camera, and an Ipod.
Two children in the residence, ages fifteen and sixteen, were removed by the State Office of Child Protective Services.
On Wednesday morning, all three suspects involved in the investigation turned themselves in to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Office.
37-year-old David Rodriguez Jr. was booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center and charged with 1-count of Human Trafficking, 1-count of Aggravated Second Degree Battery, 1-count of Second Degree Kidnapping/False Imprisonment, and 2-counts of Offenses against Computer Users. Bond is set at $635.000 dollars.
39-year-old Christina Marie Harper was booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center and charged with 1-count of Human Trafficking, 1-count of Aggravated Second Degree Battery, 1-count of Second Degree Kidnapping/False Imprisonment, and 2-counts of Offenses against Computer Users. Bond is set at $635,000 dollars.
39-year-old Ambre Tubbs Lomas was booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center and charged with 1-count of Second Degree Kidnapping/False Imprisonment, and 1-count of Aggravated Second Degree Battery. Bond is set at $525,000 dollars.
All three suspects remain in the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center.

Today's post offers a fun, free DIY project that allows for a wide range of ABC Letter activities for kids. These free printable alphabet cards are so versatile and can be used with babies, toddlers, preschoolers- even school aged kids!beautiful printables from Melissa at Mama Miss. She does such amazing work from her crafts, recipes and printables that I just really wanted to work with her.
I reached out to her and as luck would have it she was willing to work with me and designed a lovely set of graphics JUST for this set! So here you have a one-of-a-kind Mama Miss & Lalymom collaboration! She designed the images from Apple to Zebra and I turned them into three sets of printable cards, available to you for free!
I think these would be so fun for everyday play, summer learning and even homeschooling! They actually are just about the same size as your standard memory cards, and they fit perfectly in the pockets of our Alphabet Pocket Chart Baby Gate Cover!
So here is the deal. You print them the way you want to use them! We did all the work of making them pretty!
ABC Letters Flash Cards
The first way you can print these cards is a picture & letter flash card, which has both the image and the corresponding letter on the same side of the card. It is the center card in the very top image there. Just load some cardstock into your printer, print, cut and play! Laminate them for added durability!
For front and back flash cards, where your child has to flip the cards over to see the letter, use the Memory Match set (left one in that top picture) printed front to back. Same thing, print, cut and laminate if you want!
Alphabet Memory Match Cards
The second way you can print these is as Memory Match Cards (again, top left). You can print large images cards and separate large letter cards. Then once they are printed and cut, you can play a game of Memory Match bu flipping them all face down, and turning them over two at a time until you get a match!
Magic Reveal Letter Cards
This was actually my original idea for this set and I love it! If you print the Magic Reveal Cards front to back on cardstock, you will be able to see the image on the front and when you hold it up to a light table, light box or window, the correct letter is revealed! MAGIC! You can see what they look like in the bottom two images of that photo up there. The one where you can see the A is actually because the light shining through the card! Fun, right?!
The great news is that these awesome printable ABC Letter Cards are available to you for free just for signing up for my newsletter!

Ryan Seacrest to Cover the Summer Olympics on NBCby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Will Ryan Seacrest be taking over for Matt Lauer on The Today Show?
The American Idol host addressed that rumor this morning... to Matt Lauer on The Today Show.
After joking about taking both Lauer's job and that of weatherman Al Roker, Seacrest revealed that, yes, he has signed a new deal with NBC Universal. But Lauer can rest easy.
"The plan is for me to join the NBC family and continue to have a role at the E! network," Ryan said. "The first assignment will be to join the prime time team for the Olympics on NBC."
From there, who knows. But one thing is certain: this appearance by Seacrest will garner far less criticism for The Today Show than yesterday's ratings stunt of having Sarah Palin co-host.
Let someone else have a chance.-!. Im tired of seeing and hearing this guys face.
ryan and men in speedo's,are you kidding. next ellen will be doing miss america.
The E network is awful. Will never watch anything to do with Seacrest. He has been on over-kill,same with his kartrashians! Quit watching the today show long ago. They always pay to interview the scum we don't want to see.
