Demo version DangerousWorld 2. You need to have Orange Box or Half-life 2: Episode Two.
No update since christmas 2011, and Tiim is offline since Nov 17, 2012.
The mod is dead. No update and not coming for a long time is the usual attitude of people who quit but don't want to say it. It's the same thing everywhere. I can't tell you how many times I saw that, it's impossible to count them.
Uhm no Tiim is online I just looked at his steam page now
And we can clearly see he's more interested in playing Team Fortress 2 than Source SDK.
Damm right
Is your project still alive? if so, please respond finally. all your fans suffer from not knowing whats going on.
Please don't be dead! This mod was awesome!
Doubt it but he probably has school like everybody.
Guys, lets hope it's not dead, the first one was really amazing.
Christmas Update (2012) incoming...?
First of al i want to say i really enjoyed DW1 and demo DW2 i'm a big fan of your modding skills :p but can i ask TiiM how is your progress doing ?
Hey could you atleast get rid of the christmas backround? It kind of bugs me that this hasn't been updated aince last christams. And the christmas theme is mocking me.I feel like Santa Clause is say YOU'LL NEVER PLAY THIS MOD!!!!!!!!!! MEWAHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!!!
Hey, TiiM, I know you're having trouble finding solid time to work on the mod... but I have an idea. If you ever get a couple of minutes free, you could add in more of the wonderfully imaginative Easter-eggs and hidden caches/objects/areas similar to those in DW1. I love being able to replay a mod and find something new every time. And best of all, the simple ones take only a short time, and every one could tell a short story - A bloodstain leading to a body clutching a grenade could suggest a wounded rebel crawling off and attempting to take out his assailants with them, among many other narratives. Leaving room for the player to make their own story adds to the charm of mods, and you achieved this brilliantly in DW1. <3

Widely recommended and used in France by doctors and midwives to support expectant women during this new stage in life, Sophrology is now growing in popularity throughout the UK.
Expectant mums choose to practice Sophrology during their pregnancy for various reasons:
they are prone to stress and tension and worry this might impact baby on some level and affect their birthing experience
they wish to take an active part during labour by using techniques that they have learnt to remain calm and relaxed throughout the contractions and labour.
they are scared of birth and experiencing pain during labour
Through experiencing various exercises including breathing, relaxation, body movements and visualisations, Sophrology equips the mother-to-be with techniques to reduce stress and tension during her pregnancy, manage contractions and reduce fear and pain during labour.
The Sophrologist guides the mother-to-be with her voice and help her explore different body postures that will make her pregnancy and birth experience more comfortable.
Practising Sophrology enables the future mum to acquire the ability to relax her body quickly and efficiently. It increases the awareness of her body as well as her thoughts and emotions. She learns to welcome this new stage in life without judging herself or her experience.
By widening her state of consciousness with Sophrology, she is better able to accept discomfort and changes brought about by pregnancy and call upon her inner ability to feel calm and relaxed. Sophrology develops acceptation of all possible birth scenarios and her ability to approach the event with less tension, worry and stress which could complicate birthing.
The aim of Sophrology applied to birth preparation is not to promote or guarantee natural birthing. Sophrology works with the wishes of the mother-to-be, her fears and her specific situation to help her experience birth in a calm, relaxed and positive state of body and mind whatever type of birth she will be having, caesarian, epidural, water birth, etc.
A regular practice of Sophrology enables the future mum to develop her ability to adapt to situations and activate positive thoughts to support her through labour and and in the first few weeks of motherhood after baby is born.
Sophrology offers a variety of techniques which are tailored to the client's situation. As an example, here are a few techniques, she will be able to learn during her sessions with a practitioner:
Basic Sophronisation
A scan of the body to induce relaxation, improve awareness of each body parts and increase the state of concentration necessary during contractions.
"I feel good in my body, I can relax in the process, remain centered and confident throughout my contractions."
Synchronised Breathing
Learn to synchronise a word, a sentence or a colour symbolising a feeling of choice, for example calm, success, joy or confidence on the in-breath and out-breath. This helps bring the mind and body back into a state of focus and calmness.
"I breathe in 'calm' into my body, I breathe out, let it diffuse throughout my body"
Sophro Negative Displacement
A technique used during labour and throughout pregnancy to free the body and mind from unnecessary tension or negativity. "As I breathe out, I let go of any tension, negativity or discomfort that does not serve me in this moment"
Sophro Positive Presence
Reconnect with positive feelings and emotions in between contractions. "I focus on positive feelings that I can sense in my body even though there might be discomfort in places and I diffuse this positivity to all part of my body"
Sophro Progressive Acceptation
A visualisation of a situation post birth, with mother and baby, to stimulate motivation and positive thoughts.
Other techniques:
There are dozens of other Sophrology exercises for pregnancy and birth preparation: mobilising energy during labour, reducing discomfort through breathing, growing capacities of adaptation and self-confidence, etc.
Sophrology helps the mother-to-be grow her self-confidence and trust in her body's wisdom and enables her to call upon her inner resources to experience this new stage in life as comfortably and serenely as possible.]]>

Every Kundalini Yoga session is tailored to work on a specific aspect of our being and starts with a set of exercises, called "Kriya", that gives us the opportunity to go through a couple of challenges on a physical level and strenghten and stretch our body, learn how to use our full breathing capacity and specifically focus on one particular goal. This could be to balance one of our 8 chakras, organ or part of the body, reaching a state of mind or working towards a quality of being we want in our life. Kundalini Yoga postures are simple and dynamic and have a strong energetical effect on your body, that can leave you literally feeling the energy circulating through your body.
2) PRANAYAMA – Breathing techniques
In Kundalini Yoga we practice a variety of breathing techniques that all have a specific effect on your body. Most of us don't breathe properly. Learning how to use your whole breathing capacity and becoming more aware of your breathing patterns and how you can influence your mood and stress level by simply changing the rhythm of your breath. Usually these breathing exercises will be integrated in the practice of yoga postures and include mainly the two basic practices of long and deep breathing to calm you down and breath of fire to energize you, but also very specific techniques such as Sitali breath to cool the body and relax the mind, cannon breath to detox, and alternate nostril breathing to balance your emotions.
3) SHAVASANA – guided relaxation
The working out of our body is followed by a deep relaxation that gives your body time to restore and manifest the effects of the set. That can mean to simply lie down on your back in silence and let your breath guide you deeper and deeper into a state of deep relaxation, or to mentally scan and relax every part of your body one after the other, or also to go on a little adventure with a guided dream journey.
4) Multifaceted MEDITATION
At the end of the session, we practice a meditation to work on our goal of the day on an even deeper level. Meditation means to focus our mind on a particular objects in order to still the constant stream of thoughts, reflections or even worries we usually experience in our everyday consciousness. Kundalini Yoga offers us an infinite source of different meditations that all have a specific effect, depending on what aspect we want to work on. The simplest form is to focus on a specific breathing pattern for a predetermined amount of time. Other possibilities are to work with healing sounds ("mantras"), or finger and hand postures ("mudras"). A Kundalini Yoga meditation can include one or all of these components.
With your practice, you will soon start to experience an improvement of your physical and emotional health and more serenity in your daily life. With time, you will dive deeper and deeper into the practice, and experience the whole depth of Kundalini Yoga and grow into a more creative and authentical you.
We end every Kundalini Yoga session with the mantra "SAT NAM", which means "true identity", and by doing so we resonate with who we really are and acknowledge the true core of our own being and that of others. Each time we practice Kundalini Yoga, we re-connect a little bit more with our own creativity. You can think of your creative potential as a sleeping snake that is rolled up at the base of your spine. Awakening the snake means to unlock your creative potential! To make that happen, Kundalini Yoga is an infinite source of exercises and meditations that were brought from India to the west by Yogi Bhajan, who developed a very unique practice that is designed for people who want to live life to the full with and face the challenges of modern life with integrity and a pro-active attitude.

I'm not surprised! Clearing the mind is nigh-on impossible! Even for someone like a Zen master with decades of meditation experience. But perversely it's often this clear, calm, unaffected mind-state that brings people to meditation in the first place. We all want to find some respite from the whirlwind of thoughts and worries in our heads.
Then when you try it and find your mind is anything but clear, it can be very frustrating!
Watch this short clip where I describe what I'm talking about more succinctly.
I think one very useful way of thinking about the brain is like any other organ. The function of the heart is to pump blood; the function of the stomach and intestines is to secrete enzymes and digest food; the thyroid to secrete hormones; and likewise, the function of the brain is to secrete thoughts. Thoughts are a natural product of the brain. Why would we want to stop them?
It's not the thoughts themselves that are the problem, it's how we engage with them. So often we unconsciously end up following trains of thought, and, more often than not, these end up going down a negative route, leading us into worries and anxieties.
Mindfulness is all about developing our awareness of how things are in this moment, without trying to change it, or judging it to be good or bad. So when we come to practising our mindfulness meditation, our first job is to notice just how busy the mind is. Some days it might be as busy as the M25 at rush-hour, and other days like a quiet country road… Either way, that's fine. One of the most wonderful effects of observing the mind as it is right now without trying to manipulate it in any way is that it automatically begins to calm down. The less we try, the more it responds.
One helpful analogy to how our mind and thoughts work is the following. Imagine yourself walking deep in the countryside and you come to a river. You take a rest and come to sit on the river bank. In this analogy your thoughts are like the water in the river, flowing naturally downstream. Let's say you find a few large logs and attempt to dam up the river – you try to "clear your mind". Firstly, this takes a great deal of effort. You might succeed in creating a dam, but sitting back to admire your work you see that the water level is gradually rising behind the dam. At some point it either flows over or around the dam, or the dam breaks… It's much easier just to let the water flow!
The other trap we get into is jumping into the river and grabbing hold of the various thought forms that flow down this river. Let's say you see something awful on the news. Immediately your mind is flooded by a whole range of negative thoughts and emotions like anger, sadness, fear, revenge. Before you know it, your mind is grabbing similar thoughts from its memory banks, and new thoughts come in followed by more emotions. The next thing you know, you're totally consumed by these thoughts, wondering about the safety of those you saw on the news, of you, your family, friends, what to do about it, how to stay safe, etc.
So instead of engaging with these thoughts as they arise, in our mindfulness meditation we practise simply observing the thoughts – sitting by the riverside, seeing the flow of thoughts for what they are. Not blocking them, but not grabbing hold of them either. We practise making the choice not to engage with the thoughts as they arise, so we have that choice in every part of our life. Sometimes it's imperative that we do engage with our thoughts, but sometimes it's more healthy not to.

Step 1: Avoid caffeine after lunchtime, and the use of computers and phones in the evening, as they wind you up and have an un-grounding effect on your body. A book and a cup of yogi tea is the better choice for your evening, and will make you feel more settled.
Step 2: Did you sweat and have a good laugh today? Yogi Bhajan believed that every day without sweating and laughing is a lost day. I agree with him, as both are essential for our mental and physical wellbeing. If nothing sweaty happened during your day yet: Go for a nice 30 min walk before or after dinner, and ideally have a loved one with you to joke and share a hearty laugh with!
At this point you're already done with the most important part that is the foundation of a healthy, balanced lifestyle and would be worth making an everyday routine. Additionally, you can practice some more specific yogic rituals that will relax you even more! To accompany this, you can make yourself a cup of calming herbal tea like chamomile, peppermint or valerian. The warmth and soothing effect of the herbs will calm you down.
Step 3 is to take care of your feet, as they have carried your weight the whole day: It's good to say thank you to them in the evening, and let them know that their job is done for today and they can completely relax now. To do this you can wash them or have a foot bath and then give them a nice massage with a calming essential oil like lavender.
Now it's time for step 4: Your Kundalini Yoga practice! I am going to introduce you to a short sequence that I find very effective to unwind and empty the mind of worries and thoughts.
Sit in a cross-legged posture.
Exercise 1: The left elbow is bent at your side, the left hand in front of your heart centre, formed to a fist with the thumb pointing straight up. The right hand rests on your right knee in Gyan mudra (thumb and index finger together). Now extend the four phases of your breathing to a maximum: You inhale as long as you can, you hold the breath in as long as you can, you exhale as long as you can, and you hold the breath out as long as you can. Do this for up to 11 minutes.
Exercise 2: Bring both elbows to the side of your chest, your palms facing each other with the fingers pointing forward. Inhale, hold the breath, and raise your arms up quickly above your head, the fingers pointing upwards, and bring them down again to the side of your chest. Do this 8 times whilst holding the breath, then exhale. Go through this whole cycle 5 times.
Exercise 3: Both elbows to the side of your chest again, form fists of your hands, with the thumb securing the middle finger, and your index fingers pointing straight out. Inhaling start to straighten your arms whilst rotating your hands in small outward circles. Once your arms are fully extended, exhaling start to bring your hands back to your sides whilst rotating them in small inward circles. Do this for up to 5 minutes.
To end the exercise, inhale, hold the breath and tense every muscle of your body for a moment. Exhale. Repeat this 2 times.
You can find many interesting Kundalini Yoga sets like this one online at the Kundalini Research Institute website (integrated link http://www.kundaliniresearchinstitute.org/), or in the book "Physical wisdom" by Harijot Kaur Khalsa.
Step 5: If you want to relax even deeper, now you can get the joker out! There is a very effective breathing exercise to make you fall asleep: Left nostril breathing. Breathing only through the left nostril calms you down, as opposed to the right nostril, which energizes you.
Block off the right nostril with your right thumb, breathing long and deeply through the left nostril. Slow down your breathing. Lying in bed, you can do this exercise until you ease into a good night's sleep.
We enjoy watching movies, don't we? As a human species we are fascinated by watching others' life stories, emotions, failure and success. We love watching the game of life. However, why not, as an alternative to this, watch ourselves playing as the main actors, in another reality at another point in our journey through time?
Time Travel is a great tool to learn about ourselves. Contrary to some beliefs, everybody will greatly benefit from this type of visual and emotional mind journey. There are many various benefits of travelling in your consciousness, and any mind journey, whether into a past or future life, is beneficial, and most of all an extraordinary and liberating experience. This is an incredible opportunity to learn about our emotions, desires, abilities. This is just such a wonderful tool to expand our consciousness and awareness and to explore different angles of perceptions. Today, with the expansion of human consciousness, more than just Past Lives are available to experience. Some people experience Future Lives and Parallel Lives, Lives on other Planets and in other Dimensions.
I recommend Time Travel therapies because they expand our awareness. That makes for mind fitness and is an enjoyable experience of discovery. The stories from other life times are absolutely fascinating. Every so often I find myself amazed and feeling like I am in the most private cinema discovering the very special details of history and knowledge filled with wisdom. One of the more exciting revelations is that on quite a few occasions my clients have revealed that I was one of the main players in their session.
When mind creates and experiences a different reality, it is easier for us to see our circumstances in a new and positive light allowing us to move forward with a new empowered attitude and inspirational breakthroughs. It is a treat for the mind and every session is a build-up of the neural pathway connections leading to raising your consciousness.
Once we experience a new empowered and free reality in our minds, we awaken that in our consciousness, therefore creating a pathway for a new desired outcome. Whenever our minds go through a pleasant experience, this is therapeutic in itself.
Imagine you do not have to experience another lifetime as meaning you have to be born into the body again and again in order to learn a lesson. You do not have to die and be reborn in order to experience it. You can learn that lesson in the comfort of your local area and the therapy room. Why not to treat yourself to this opportunity? You either want to be back here again and again or you can have this lesson in an accelerated way.
Yes, the therapy can be pleasant. I love therapy in hypnosis for it has allowed me to experience what I have longed for. By awakening something within myself, I was able to connect with it and manifest it as my reality. I have met my future self. I glimpsed the magnificence and was amazed and empowered by my other past selves from ancient time.
It leads to a conclusion that the therapy of the past was about pain, and the therapy of the future is about joy, excitement, inventions and evolution. Why shouldn't it be so? Wouldn't it be nice if we just liberated ourselves into a happy therapy? Many have been put off therapy by the painful post therapy experience. Luckily, the current therapy is being presented with a much more positive outlook.
As we evolve, the past lives we access change too. It might be that at the beginning it requires healing and releasing. Once this has been accomplished, an even more enjoyable journey is available to us. In current regressions it is reported that the experience is fascinating, empowering, and greatly expands the individual's consciousness. It leads to a conclusion that the therapy of the past was more about healing the pain, and the therapy of the future is about joy, excitement, inventions and evolution.
Progression is about visualising our goal. We do it all the time anyway, but in hypnosis we do it with a focused attention which brings that desired reality into manifestation. You can examine how you like it, then adjust it, and you can have a preview of the reality of your choice. Just like you try the clothes in the fitting room of the department store, you can get a feel of your future self. The real purpose of glimpsing any undesired outcome is for you to know that you can change it by taking certain actions, therefore allowing you to be aligned with the outcome you want. Having found that fulfilled and successful future reality, people report peace in their soul, joy in their hearts, and motivation to pursue their goals. Many have told us and we have been programmed by the challenges of the past, that happiness is impossible. Yet we long for it, and know that it is possible, and it must be.
The benefits will be different for each individual depending on what is most required in one's personal journey and evolution. In a way, it is an intelligence delivering the most appropriate information, insights, solutions, and breakthroughs. People, who were puzzled about themselves or situations in their lives, report feeling more whole about themselves. Those who have been stuck in repetitive patterns and emotional blockages have found that Time Travelling brings freedom and relief allowing a path to open for manifesting the life we dream of.
One of the most predominant characteristics is "lost knowledge" being discovered through past life regressions.

The use of addictive substances remains a concern, with around a fifth of UK adults smoking, one-third drinking more than recommended and one in twelve abusing drugs. Owing to their nature once these substances have a hold over someone their grip is not easy to overcome. There is a good reason for this and it is all down to the way our brain is set up to help us learn. Traditional therapies are also not successful at promoting abstinence from addictive habits, but there is growing interest in the value of mindfulness as a new treatment for substance dependency.
Understanding our brain
When we evolved, essential items for survival like water and food were less certain and the environment in which we lived was more dangerous. This meant that when we discovered something useful it was vital we remembered this information for the next time we were in that same situation. Our brains therefore developed a reward system so that when we took part in a beneficial behaviour, we were compensated with feelings of pleasure, which encouraged us to repeat our actions to promote our survival. Today we don't face the same challenges as our ancestors did, but the same reward-based systems still remain in our brain. Unfortunately, some of the unhealthy substances we have come across in the meantime, like tobacco, alcohol and drugs, have also been able to use this system to their advantage. This means that whether we smoke or take an illicit drug this activates the mesolimbic pathway, triggering dopamine release and the positive feelings that this brings with it. Choosing to take part in these behaviours when we feel stressed or low reinforces them, which is due to the mental lift that they give us.
Talking therapies like CBT work via our brain's prefrontal cortex, which controls our reasoning and planning, and is the area of our brain that helps us to take charge of our urges. However, when we are rundown or stressed, the prefrontal cortex shuts down, which is exactly the time when we are more likely to turn to cigarettes, drink or drugs. This isn't good news for the effectiveness of CBT in these situations, but thankfully mindfulness may hold the key to treating addictions.
How mindfulness can cut cravings
This Buddhist principle makes us more aware of our thoughts and feelings, so lets us take note of our cravings. This lets us see them for what they are and that they subside with time, so we do not need to give into them. As a result mindfulness helps us to get on top of our cravings and ride them out rather than acting on them. When we are mindful this also makes us appreciate our behaviours more, so habits such as smoking and drinking are not so appealing when we think about them in detail. Craving control and disenchantment with our habits is the perfect combination to help us beat an addiction.
There is evidence for the benefits of mindfulness in overcoming a range of addictive substances, from nicotine to cocaine. Indeed, research studies suggest that mindful practices may even prove more effective than preferred treatments for substance dependency, as a randomized controlled trial investigating smoking cessation showed. The ability of mindfulness to uncouple the addictive link, so people no longer act on their cravings and the association between cravings and habit is therefore disengaged. While further research is necessary, practitioners are already receiving training in mindfulness techniques that can prevent relapses and there is interest in the possibility of using the internet and apps to help individuals quit addictive habits.

There are some obvious things that people can do to help — like riding a bike to work or turning off the lights when you leave a room — but everyone tells you that stuff. As a community that often uses technology on a daily basis, we wanted to focus on some of the ways that everyday technology consumption like email, social media, and data storage affects your carbon footprint.
Before you hit send…
Going paperless is great, but electronic communications aren't exactly carbon free. According to Mike Berners-Lee — professional carbon-emissions consultant and brother of the guy who invented the World Wide Web, so he definitely knows what he's talking about — every time you send an email into the ether(net), you're using up 4 grams of carbon. And that's if you don't add any attachments.
Okay, 4 grams doesn't sound like much, and in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't. Four grams is about how much sugar Mary Poppins advises will help the medicine go down. But think about how many emails you send each day, then multiply that by 365. That's a lot of sugar.
Basically, each year the average person emails an amount of carbon equal to the exhaust of a 200-mile car ride. Looked at from a different angle, all the emails sent scurrying around the Internet in a single day generate more than 880 million lbs. (that's 44,000 tons!) of carbon per day.
Now, this isn't to say that email is a bad thing: it's certainly better than sending all of those messages on paper in paper envelopes using sticky paper stamps. But there are a lot of ways to cut down on carbon by checking the number of emails that go whizzing from server to server.
Check your overhead. All computers have an energy overhead, and in our experience most on-premises servers tend to be underutilized. Some of the most efficient network hardware costs an extreme amount of money and also requires large amounts of use to make them cost effective. Rarely can the average business justify such purchases, not just in money, but also in utilization. Using a manager hosting service (read more here) that optimizes its networked hardware for maximum efficiency can help you save carbon while reducing your monthly energy bills.
Learn to search. Becoming intimate with your email app's search functionality can save carbon, time, and sanity. Instead of asking your colleague to re-send that document you need for the big presentation, do a quick search of your inbox and archives to see if you have it already.
Don't spam. Nobody likes to think they're a spammer, but it happens. Even reputable companies with great products tend to carpet-bomb people's inboxes with marketing messages that go mostly unread, in the hopes of finding just one more loyal customer. Just because you can send an email to anyone and everyone doesn't mean you should. Tailoring your audience help you increase conversion rates while cutting back on carbon.
Unsubscribe. On the flip side, if you're receiving emails that you don't have time to read, take a minute to remove yourself from the mailing list. It'll help keep your inbox clean, and you can feel even better knowing you're helping to trim your carbon footprint.
Start a conversation. We've all done it; emailed that person who is sitting close enough that you could literally talk to them without even raising your voice. Instead of sending that email, have a little chat. Even if they're down the hall, get up and go talk to them. Guaranteed, you'll use less carbon by talking than you would by sending that email.
Delete unused accounts. Maybe Instagram just isn't your thing. Maybe you don't really understand the appeal of tweeting.

Our bodies are anatomically designed to run pain free, and yet so many runners suffer from foot, ankle, leg, knee, hip, pelvis or back pain! What's going on? To find out, we need to look at the design of the human body.
Natural structural alignment
Our bodies have a certain structure, in the same way that a building, car or bicycle does. What holds and positions this structure are muscles. When your muscles are balanced and healthy, your structure and posture are aligned, and you can walk, skip, hop, jump and run pain free.
Unbalanced muscles
For your muscles to stay balanced and healthy they need a certain amount of work each day. Our modern lifestyles don't give us this as we spend most of our time sitting down or carrying out similar activities. This creates imbalances in your muscular system, with some muscles being overworked, and some being underworked.
Why can this cause running pain?
When muscles are chronically overworked they are weaker, more likely to become injured and give you pain, for example, in your calves, hamstrings, quads or groin. Remember that muscles glue our structure together. When they become unbalanced, we move away from our natural pain free structure and develop misalignments. This means joints do not function properly leading to abnormal wear and tear, impingement, degeneration and pain, for example, in your foot, knee or hip.
What's the most effective solution?
Treating your symptoms through pain killers, surgery, straps or altering your running pattern won't help in the long-term if you haven't addressed the root cause. Eventually the pain will return either in the same location or somewhere else.
You need to target the root cause of your pain by rebalancing your muscles, so they hold you in your correct pain free structural alignment. This will let you run pain free. So how can you do this?
Do the 3 exercises in this short video, which will help you start the process of running pain free.

Linus Torvalds Calls NVIDIA The Worst Company Ever
Published on 17 June 2012 09:27 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
165 Comments
Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, has called out NVIDIA for their poor graphics drivers / support in a public presentation. In the talk he called NVIDIA "the single worst company we have ever dealt with" and ended his green comments with "NVIDIA: FUCK YOU!"
Torvalds was speaking earlier this week at the Aalto Center for Entrepreneurship in Otaniemi, Finland. He spoke for one hour and his entire interview with public Q&A is available via the YouTube video embedded below.
Near the end of his talk, when asked by one of the attendees about NVIDIA's hardware support and lack of open-source driver enablement / documentation, he had a few choice words for the Santa Clara company.
Torvalds began by stating that NVIDIA is an exception to Linux support rather than the rule in terms of their lack of friendliness towards open-source drivers and the Linux community, etc. He also mentioned he is happy to publicly point them out and their problems, so his NVIDIA statements continued...
After saying that NVIDIA is "one of the worst trouble spots we've had with hardware manufacturers", Linus Torvalds continued on to say, "NVIDIA has been the single worst company we have ever dealt with."
Torvalds ended his NVIDIA comments with "NVIDIA: FUCK YOU!" while raising his middle finger to the camera.
With the YouTube video embedded below, the NVIDIA comments begin at 49 minutes into the video.
NVIDIA does produce closed-source Linux drivers that are highly regarded by many; for a majority of Linux desktop users they do work out better than the closed-source AMD Catalyst Linux drivers. However, many still want to see NVIDIA provide open-source graphics drivers from NVIDIA for their GeForce/Quadro and Tegra components.
Right now the open-source NVIDIA graphics drivers come via the
driver project, which is community-based and the driver is written via reverse-engineering NVIDIA's closed-source driver. AMD may have a notorious binary graphics driver, but at least they do provide open-source driver support, some level of documentation, and better interact with the Linux community.
I'm not sure if I would call NVIDIA the worst company ever for Linux since they do at least have the high-quality binary Linux drivers, while there exists other companies with really nasty binary drivers, bad open-source support, and other issues -- such as VIA Technologies. There's also other companies that are not friendly towards Linux at all, but just
tell their customers to use Windows
instead of Linux.
Aside from NVIDIA not being open-source friendly, NVIDIA Corp does have
other fundamental Linux problems as I've explained
. It still seems NVIDIA marketing/PR doesn't even want to work with Linux, etc.
From the several NVIDIA Linux engineers I've dealt with over
the past eight years
, they seem to do their best and are committed to Linux, but management and others above them seem to be where the trouble is at and tie the developers' hands. This is a similar situation to how a Texas Instruments driver developer is so committed to open-source he ended up
writing a reverse-engineered open-source driver for his competitor
(Qualcomm) since he was prevented from writing an open-source PowerVR driver for TI's OMAP.
Aside from Torvalds' NVIDIA remarks near the end, the entire talk is worth watching.

I'm wondering if the extreme heat still makes such a huge difference on plants which are supplemented regularly with silicon.
My summer days aren't too often in the 90s, so it probably wouldn't matter here..
This year, unusually, we didn't reach 90 at all and had fall-like temperatures for a week.

The part that I ordered was broken in shipping due to not being packed properly. It took me some time to make contact with the vendor, including several phone calls and emails. On the initial contact, I arranged to ship the damaged one back, but the person I talked to did not mention anything about getting a replacement. It took another call to determine how to get a new parts shipped to me. The replacement part arrived yesterday and I installed it on my car. Now, I am waiting for instructions on where to ship the used part I removed from my car to get my core deposit credited to my account.
Very easy to order, price was good, shipping was very quick. I will definitely buy from this company again.

Sure this birdie doesn't have any feathers, but it is a beast of its own and can get a little hairy at times. The animal of which I speak is none other than the wonderful sport of golf.

Koch Agronomic Services, LLC (KAS), an affiliate of Koch Fertilizer, LLC, has agreed to acquire the turf and ornamental assets, brands and product technologies of Agrium Advanced Technologies, a former business unit of Agrium Inc.

With this transaction, KAS will acquire production facilities in Sylacauga, Ala., and global intellectual property rights related to Polyon, Duration, XCU, Nutralene and Nitorform brands of slow-release and controlled-release fertilizers.

I can't believe that this was the third to last episode of Reba. I had a tear in my eye. This is just an example of how well the writers of Reba can write an episode. Now, I know Reba has been nominated for awards before, including and Emmy, Golden Globe, and People's Choice, but I think that teh writers shoudl be nominated. Thats what I wanna see.
This is one of the only shows I watch. And Reba McEntire, aswell as the whole cast make the show. I couldn't see any other actors or actress' portray these very loveable characters. Reba is a show that when you watch, you feel like family. And when the show's over, you feel so sad, that you take out your DVD set and start watching the eppies all over again.

Don and Karen Redd are parents of a family of 14 children who lives in Farmington. The two youngest are still in college and all of the others achieved higher education degrees. Three MD degrees, an RN degree and an engineering degree from West Point military academy are among the number, along with several master's degrees. All six sons served in the U.S. military. The Redds said they laid an educational foundation for their children through reading with them nightly, from infancy onward. The family followed up by taking family vacations to places they read about.
Making sure her children continued learning during the summer was important to Redd and gave her children an advantage at school. Most children lose about two months of grade level equivalency in math skills during summer vacation, according to Johns Hopkins University's School of Education, which also said low-income children lose more than two months in reading achievement, while their middle-class peers make slight gains.
"We always had summer school," Redd said. "I had my children do some math, reading and writing nearly every day."
Talk to your kids
Even dinner-table conversations can bolster knowledge about subjects children are studying in school. The family of Joseph Kennedy, father of America's most prolific political family, is a well-known example. Evelyn Lincoln's book about President John F. Kennedy provides a glimpse of the president's early preparation for world leadership, around the family dinner table:
"His father would assign a subject — Algeria, for example — to one child and instruct him to find all he could on the subject. Then he would tell the other children to do the same so they could question the first one when he made his report and see how much he really knew."
Dinner conversation needn't aspire to the Kennedy family's formality, though. Redd's placemats — U.S. and world maps — were a starter.
"We pointed out places where things were happening in the news, and things we've been reading about," she said. "We always asked the children to share with us what they've learned that day. That sparks conversation about current events, and gives us opportunities to share beliefs about philosophy and moral issues."
Create adventures
Bradford ensured that her children had cultural opportunities by banding together with neighbors, again, after arts funding was cut from her children's school.
The group organized Play-in-a-Week during spring break, rehearsed and presented in the school building. The project caught on and is in its fourth year.
"The sixth-graders write the play, and during a one-week break, kids and parents (and some teachers) learn lines, songs, dances, paint scenery, create costumes and perform the play," Bradshaw said.
Some parents, like Bradshaw, are able to bring their own education and resources to bear on improving education for their children. But even parents whose resources and time are limited can help their children succeed in school, Gehris said.
Make sure children get a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast in calm surroundings, she suggested, and use real-life situations as learning opportunities.
"Take your child to the grocery store," Gehris said. "Have them order at a fast-food restaurant, and count the change."
"Everything doesn't have to be a book-learning experience," she said. "Get out and explore together."

My family and I are completely into NCAA® March Madness! And honestly, I only have myself to blame here- I attended Indiana University during the Bobby Knight years when the Hoosiers were one of the best teams in basketball. And I was there when they won the national title in 1987- running with my friends to dance around Showalter Fountain as we celebrated! And if that doesn't make you a die hard NCAA basketball fan for life- I don't know what else will! I had the chance to take the kids to Bloomington a few years ago- to show them my old stomping grounds- and that pretty much cemented their love for the game too. But sadly… my alma mater lost in the first round of this year's tourney.
But that doesn't mean we aren't still totally psyched to watch the final rounds this weekend together as a family! In fact- we created this banner to adorn our mantle- and we'll remove the teams that are eliminated as the games are played. (Because doesn't hanging a banner just make everything feel like a party?)

Inspired by the gorgeous cans found in the Coca-Cola NCAA® Final Four Pack available at Walmart, I created this recipe for Coke Zero BBQ Chicken Sliders, which is what we'll be dining on while we watch the games!
