About Capital Bikeshare
In August 2008, the District of Columbia became the first jurisdiction in North America to launch a bikesharing system. SmartBike D.C. offered 120 bikes at 10 stations in downtown D.C. and the Center City. Approximately 1,600 people joined SmartBike D.C. during its 2 years of operation.
Meanwhile, Arlington County, VA was working on its own plans for a bikesharing system. Together, Arlington and the District reviewed proposals and selected an operator for a new bikesharing system in May 2010. Over two years the two jurisdictions established the regional Captial Bikeshare system, with 200+ stations and 1800+ bikes providing over 24,000 annual members with alternative transportation.
In August 2012, Alexandria, VA is launching an expansion as the newest member of the Capital Bikeshare community. Working together, the District of Columbia, Arlington County, and Alexandria are proud to bring expansive, regional transportation to the Capital with over 1800+ bikes and 200+ stations.

Finding a job this Labor Day is not easy in a country with 8.3 percent unemployment and sluggish growth. Both presidential candidates are claiming they will outdo the other in the creation of more American jobs. But the majority of jobs created in the recovery have been low-wage ones. Both candidates need to address not only how to add jobs, but good jobs for average Americans to address legitimate concern over economic fairness and ensure a thriving middle class.
America's rising income inequality — worse than at any time since the Gilded Age — is a problem that is more often talked about by politicians than acted upon. Beginning after World War II, American workers' wages rose in tandem with the country's economic performance, nearly doubling by the early 1970s. Since then, median hourly wages have gone up less than 11 percent. The winners instead have been the nation's top 1 percent, who between 1979 and 2007 saw their annual earnings grow 156 percent, according to the nonprofit Economic Policy Institute. In 1980, compensation for chief executives at some of the nation's largest companies was 42 times the pay of the average worker; now it's more than 300 times.
This imbalance came about through the withering of the social contract. Where once American workers were promised that in exchange for hard, loyal work they would receive a share of rising profits and job security, now they consider themselves lucky if their job hasn't been outsourced or their benefits cut to boost short-term stock performance. The recovery is exacerbating this race to the bottom. Of the jobs created, 58 percent have been low-wage, in fields such as retail sales and food preparation, while mid-wage jobs in construction, manufacturing and information account for 60 percent of job losses, according to a study by the National Employment Law Project. America's middle-class is eroding.
Both political parties are to blame. Republicans openly disparage unions and, unlike in years past, the party's platform no longer explicitly recognizes collective bargaining rights. Democrats are more worker-friendly but have failed to update the nation's antiquated labor laws. For instance, the United States still stands as the only advanced country without guaranteed sick leave.
This Labor Day, more Americans need jobs. But they also need jobs that pay the bills, help them save and keep a roof over their heads. In the rush to November, both parties should be telling Americans what they'll do to help foster not just more jobs, but better jobs.

This is going to surprise some people. In the first four months of 2011, Samsung led the US plasma market with 41.3 percent of all the plasma TVs sold here, according to analyst group NPD. The previous number one plasma spot had been occupied by Panasonic, which focuses mostly on plasma TVs (though this year the company does offer LCD up to 42-inches). This Samsung the company launched 19 new plasma TVs to the market covering eight product series—many of them with 3D capability.
Samsung also claims to be the top selling TV brand overall, with a large number of those TVs from the popular LED LCD category.
But what's the driving factor? Is it 3D? Internet-connected (smart TV)? Style? Samsung boasts 48 percent of the smart TV market share this year, January through April. That's not a surprise as Samsung also has the most robust app market and app interface I've seen yet on a TV. About a week ago the company announced that app downloads via their TVs have passed the 5 million mark.
The apps that so far have proved the most popular include video services like YouTube, Vimeo and Blockbuster, plus news/information services including USA Today and Accuweather.
Samsung says more than 550 applications are currently available in Samsung Apps, with gaming, video and information apps accounting for nearly 60 percent.

Have I forgotten anything?
Hi,I have posted about my plans once or twice before this year, and i finally leave in just over two weeks, just wanted to do a final check to make sure i have not overlooked anything.
Basically me and my partner are going, budget is £12000 for the both of us. We are hoping to travel for the majority of 2013.
Fly into Signapore for 3 nights (already paid for does not ocme out of 12000)
Overland to Malaysia for 30 days ( no need to by visa, correct?)
Overland into Thailand for 60 days (visa's bought a KL?)
Overland into Laos (visa on arrival)
Overland into Cambodia (visa on arrival)
Overland into Veitnam (visa's bought from PP or Sihanoukville)
That will roughly be the first 6 months. From there we havent quite decided, going to see how much money we have left, maybe fly to india we are not sure yet, going to try and take it as it comes.
Have I missed anything? Am I correct with my Visa's? I have spent along time researching and I know it is a route well travelled, just wanted to make sure.
Thanks in Advance.
From there we havent quite decided, going to see how much money we have left, maybe fly to india we are not sure yet, going to try and take it as it comes.Just in case you are considering (or consider in the future) to visit Pakistan, be aware it's requiring to get a visa in your home country.
Hi, I doubt you're checking your Lonely Planet account but in the hope that you just might.... how's it going with the budget? My boyfriend and I are going to SE Asia in 5 weeks for about 3 months and planning to visit all the countries you are.Hope you're having a great time and if you've got any advice for us it would be appreciated!!

"you can't step in the same river twice,"
Heraclitus 500 BC
For Heraclitus the act of repetition seems to be something of a misnomer, consisting in the return, not of the same, but of the different--the return of something else, something other. Thus in fact it would seem there is no return... For no two "things" are ever identical or exactly the same.1 -Bruce Fink, 1995
"Never stepping in the same river twice" is now a well worn cliché repeated to the point of exhaustion. The works in the exhibition by Bruce Yonemoto utilize several strategies of conceptualization. The works can loosely be described as being détourned from a previous work. The term détournement is borrowed from the French, the original language of the Situationist International publications of the 1950's.
Yonemoto's détourned works are variations of previous media works familiar to the audience. The newly created work has a meaning that can be antagonistic or antithetical to the original, but always a revaluation of previous work so that the opposition of the new message can be understood.
Sounds Like the Sound of Music, (2005) engages the Peruvian culture by translating an iconographic American musical song into the indigenous Incan language of Quechua. This representation will, offer an insight to a colonized culture that has successfully coexisted to this day with the dominant societies of Europe and the US. The original 1960 feature film, The Sound of Music was a Heimatfilm, (German for "homeland-film") a film genre that was popular in Germany, Switzerland and Austria from the late 40s to the early 70s. The purpose of these films was to retune and reframe the perception German society after WWII. Much like a Heimatfilm, Yonemoto's Sounds Like the Sound of Music "détournes" the original film by representing Quechua society as a guileless boy singing praises of his native Andean environment. The Quechua language is spoken by 13 million people across the Andes and South America. Perhaps our only knowledge comes from the second installment of the Star Wars Trilogy. George Lucas' disgusting villain, Jabba the Hutt speaks native Quechua. It is said that Lucas wanted to use a language which no one would understand.
Papa, (the original potato eaters) (2006) is a media installation where potatoes, indigenous to the farmlands of Andean Peru serve as the principal metaphor in this revisionist documentary. Papa replicates Vincent Van Gogh's original painted composition, The Potato Eaters. The "uncivilized, unpeeled dusty faces" of the original Dutch peasants are portrayed by an indigenous Andean Quechua family who continue to this day "to earn their meals honestly (Van Gogh)." Following, the model of Luis Bunuel's landmark 1932 surrealist documentary, Land Without Bread (Las Hurdes), Papa (the original potato eaters) attempts to détourne the discourse typically adopted by the 'voice of god' documentary form, simply by bringing the underlying elitism of such formalism to the foreground – the distance that is inherent to 'objectivity' is revealed merely as cynicism.
Following the strategy of détournement as revaluation, Kintsugi (2011) restages the practice of repairing broken pottery with a lacquer resin infused with powdered gold. The "recycling" of once valued objects, now broken and destroyed revalues the artwork. At this moment of world economic depression the practice of kintsugi is one of optimism. By repairing mass produced commodities instead of only unique artworks Kintsugi is an update of a practice which repeats strategies found in Marcel Duchamp's Readymades.
Bringing together childhood memories of the family car trips from San Francisco to Disneyland, and the Reality Principle of French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard the video installation, Simulations (2008) draws from his text.
Disneyland is there to conceal the fact that it is the "real" country, all of the "real" America, which is Disneyland….Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real, when in fact all of Los Angeles and the America surrounding it are no longer real, but of the order of the hyperreal and of simulation. It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology), but of concealing the fact that the real is no longer real, and thus of saving the reality principle. -Jean Baudrillard
Simulations unites the sign of our collective memory, Disneyland's Matterhorn with its allegorical referent, the newly machined 3-D print. Each of the works in this exhibition repeats but with a difference. By reinvesting both materially and theoretically into the previously exhausted forms, Yonemoto opens up new critical pathways.

Alun Jones (Security MVP) writes about security, cryptography, SSL, PKI, and pretty much anything else that bothers him enough.
I tried to find a less … alarmist tone to take in the title, but when I think of the consequences of this particular bug, I can't see that I'm going over the top.
Quite simply, occasionally Windows 7 Explorer will corrupt files when you copy and/or move them using drag/drop. [So far, I've only seen this twice, and each time, I was moving MP3 files]
Last night, I dragged a group of files – over a thousand, totaling about 45GB of data, to move them to a network server.
This morning, one of the files was still on the original source. And on the destination.
That alone would be an unsettling bug, but not too much to worry about.
Out of sheer curiosity, I compared the two files (using "FC /B C:File1 Y:File1").
Sure enough, although the beginning of the file was the same, starting at byte 0x480000 (there may be one too few, or one too many, zeroes there), the target file consisted of nothing other than nulls (zero byte, '\0' if you're a C developer).
This doesn't only happen on files sent to the network, however.
Searching for files with large numbers of nulls at their end, I was shocked to find that over thirty of the files on my hard drive consisted of nothing but null characters. All these files were dated July 27 2009, so clearly that was a bad day for my computer.
That's unsettling, because these particular files I had assumed to be safely moved. I had first copy-dragged them to my Podcasts folder, and then move-dragged them to a different folder, both of which actions were on my hard drive only. Having listened to these files out of my Zune (using the Podcasts trick I referred to earlier), I wiped them from the Podcasts folder, and now won't be able to listen again, because the 'backup' copy is corrupted.
Mind you, they do compress well when there's nothing in the file but nulls. :)
And, just in case anyone's thinking my system itself is corrupt, or has a bad disk driver or something like that, I should note that I have completely wiped and reinstalled the system from scratch in the last few months, so the first (major) destruction of data was on a Windows 7 installation that was upgraded from Vista, and which had a number of the laptop manufacturer's drivers on it; the second (less huge) destruction was on a fresh Windows 7 installation with almost no manufacturer's drivers loaded.
I have yet to find any details of others experiencing this same problem. If you want to scan your own files (MP3 or otherwise) for vast quantities of null bytes at the end, I've uploaded the program here – it's written in C#, and I've provided the source code as FindNulls.cs, and the executable as FindNulls.exe in the zip file. I won't claim it's a sample, or that it's particularly good, but it will find files that end with several nulls in sequence.
I've had a problem like that with a dodgy network card / driver.
Like Windows assumes corruption is checked for in hardware and sometimes it isn't. Try unzipping a big file over the network and see if you get any CRC errors.
FindNulls.exe seems to require .Net version FOUR, which I didn't even know was available! I've installed 3.5 and all the service from Microsoft update, and get the following message box:
To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:
Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework.
I do this all the time (copying mp3 files to my server from my windows 7 laptop) and have never encountered this problem. I'd suggest doing a bit more digging before blaming the OS or it's components?
OK, Si, let's take that suggestion on board and see where it takes us.
If the problem lies outside of the OS or its components, there are two other basic possibilities. User error or bad hardware / device drivers.
User error: What operation could I have mistakenly performed that would create the files under their correct names, but either partially or completely filled with nulls? I can't think of anything that would do that. I welcome your suggestions.
Hardware / driver: This behaviour has only ever happened when using Windows Explorer, and only to MP3 files. Hardware and drivers aren't going to behave differently on MP3 files from other files, so that would seem to rule them out.
Those are rather broad axe strokes, and I have finer cuts if you want them - but I have indeed considered the possibility that I did something wrong (note that I waited for it to happen a second time), or that my system might have faults outside of Windows. So far the preponderence of evidence points to the cause of corruption being that I either copied and pasted, or cut and pasted, these files through Windows Explorer.
I'll let you know when I have a test case that demonstrates the behaviour in an obvious and undeniable fashion.
JMThomas: I've uploaded a re-compiled version of the program, which should work in .NET 3.5. I'm afraid I've been playing with a beta version of Visual Studio 2010.
Please let me know if the updated link works for you.
Just want to say I'm having similar issues. Unfortunately, your findnulls program doesn't seem to find my mp3s that are corrupted. Like doesn't even analyze those files. seems to happen at random to some files during large directory transfers (just upgraded (downgraded?) from ubuntu to windows 7)
If my tool isn't finding those corrupted files of yours, the only thing I can think (other than the obvious, that I screwed up somehow) is that your corruption is different from mine. Can you compare a good file with a bad one to see what corruption has been wrought? In my case, it was fairly obvious that the end of the file - in many cases, the entire file - was replaced with null bytes.
I recently had my XP-SP2 system die out, and saved the HD. I attached it as an external drive to a new Windows 7 Professional-64 bit installation and copied the files over with Windows Explorer.
500+ of my mp3 files are no longer functioning. The metadata is not being read, and the track length always shows as 0:00. The file size seems normal or close to normal. The odd thing is that none of the files seem to be older than November, 2009. This includes both files purchased online, and files downloaded via P2P. Any ideas what happened? Why not any of the older files, too?
wait... so not sure but I feel like I have this problem and it screwed up a lot of my music as well where there's scratches and all that jibber jabber at random moments of an audio file?
I've been thinking it was my hard drive but I did notice it right when I installed Windows 7... fml. I've been researching and testing for hours upon hours, I don't even know what day it is.
P.S. it's my external hard drive.
The behaviour I'm seeing is that at some apparently random spot in the file (and for some files, that random spot is the first byte), and at every byte after that, the file contains only zeroes.
This would mean that the file basically either refuses to play at all, or contains nothing. I don't think it would cause a brief interruption and resumption like you're describing. That sounds simply like there's random spikes of incorrect data in your MP3 stream.
Although it doubles the amount of time it takes to do anything, you can either use "FC" to compare the files before and after copying, or use COPY /V to verify the file after copying.
I find external drives to be extraordinarily unreliable. We've lost data on three of the four external drives we've ever used. I now use external drive chassis only as a means of fetching data from an old internal drive without having to physically mount it internally.
Hi, I think I might have run in to the same problem. I was listening to music via Windows Media Player, went to another room to get my phone and when I came back it refused to play any MP3 file. I tried running some MP3's with VLC which worked, but there were no audio at all.
It could be something else though, the "symptoms" are the same but I wasn't moving the files, just listening to music.
By the way, how did you compare the two files, in case I'd want to do it myself?
And the nullfinder thing didn't work for me, not sure if I did something wrong or not.
Reply appreciated.
i also lost hundreds of mp3's in a similar way. I moved them around from Windows Hdd to external Hdd with Windows Explorer on Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Most mp3s moved correctly, others moved, but they are aomehow corrupted. The file size says correctly that it's 4-5MB, but the duration is 0:00. And the MP3 ID3 tags are gone, they don't show up when viewed by details in Explorer. When you put them in a Winamp playlist, and you use ctrl+alt+E to "read extended info" on the playlist files it also shows duration 0:00. this made me stop using Explorer to do my big GB's copy or move jobs. I use teraCopy, it integrates into the shell so that you can right click a folder and copy/move securely, bc it has options for crc checking and testing the files after it has been copied. it also doesnt stop the whole copy process when 1 file has an error.
so. can the mp3 files be made usable again?
Yup, I just found out same thing happened to me... Transferred files using Explorer from my Dell Vista laptop to Iomega external HD and then to a new ThinkPad with Windows 7 x64. A handful of files (still not sure how many) were evidently corrupted in the move.
Goddamnit, I've just discovered some too. Checked in a hex editor, all zeroed. Some of them I'm not sure I can ever get back :/
Yep, I had fairly extensive corruption of mp3 files with Win 7 install as well. This isn't a codec problem or hard drive failure. I didn't have the null problem, but I did have the same exact problem of another poster, which is a common problem with win 7....during playback some songs will have jibberish and often segments from other songs will play. Luckily I have multiple copies and burned DVD-Rs with backups of all my songs. So I deleted all the mp3s from my Windows 7 system, and then used microsofts SyncToy to copy them back, with the check file contents option selected. So far I have had no problems when using SyncToy in this manner to copy my mp3s. Shame on Microsoft for not warning us of such a ridiculous problem prior to installation of Windows 7. Backup all data prior to installing Windows 7, not just your music......I have it up and running now but Win 7 was positively ridiculous to setup and would have resulted in massive data loss had I not been so meticulous about backups beforehand. Windows 7 also has a major known flaw of corrupting hard drives from previous operating systems like Windows 2000, for example - when trying to use the old Win2k drive as a 2nd drive in the new system for data storage.
I should add to my above comment, that I duplicated the scenario of corruption of good working mp3 files by copying them back to my Windows 7 system using Windows explorer.
Same issue here - with the garbled mp3 situation (random bits of other songs, usually located "nearby" on the file hierarchy, but always from another folder, being inserted into otherwise fine mp3's). I had recently undertaken a big tag cleanup, and thought that perhaps that, or the fact I had the songs stored on an external drive, may be causing the error...but I can't duplicate, and other data on the hard drive seems fine.
I wonder if anyone here has tried to find *what* mp3's are corrupted out of possibly thousands without listening to every one, when the problem isn't zeroing out, but insertion of random data?
I realize this is an old thread, but this has been driving me crazy for months. An Mp3 might have 1 second from another track. The size of the copied file is exactly the same. Just a bit of bad data.
I Have Just Had a Similar Problem. I tune amps and install radios, speakers, subs, etc. I save my testing tones on my laptop. Today I found out that Windows corrupted ALL of my test tones! X.XX MB files all turned into 4.05 KB files and are now ruined. Now I have to re-purchase All of my test tones! I've tried to recover them. The quality has been destroyed and is unusable for tuning purposes. Now I have to put my work on hold while I wait for new tuning cd's to arrive.

Please forgive me but what was the total cost for the film....
Please forgive me but what was the total cost for the film....
"How Come the Decepticons have all the cool shit"
Production Budget: $195 million
It says $270 million here
Si vis pacem para bellum...
I'm pretty sure the $270m includes marketing...which is insanely expensive.
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!
I don't know what happens in your countries...
but in Portugal, a lot of people see the movie "for free".
Every time I buy a ticket I get one for free in the next session I purchase a ticket.
This means, I can go every day of the week and pay only once. I just have to find diferent friend to go with each day.
He pays his ticket and I get the free
When TF1 and TF2 came out, those extra tickets weren't usable for those movies, paramout didn't allow it.
So My guess is that at least here in Portugal, DOTM will make almost half of ROTF because of that.
DOTM posts record IMAX opening:
Box-office actuals...slightly down from estimates.
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!
Worldwide numbers (through Monday):
Dom: $180.65m
Int'l: $237.36m
TOTAL: $418.01m
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!
God bless
Yup, Im checking the website every 20 min. Hope we get some amazing news soon. Better break a billion....
Here's what I'm seeing on boxofficemojo:
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $180,651,397 41.0%
+ Foreign: $259,969,435 59.0%
= Worldwide: $440,620,832
Updated numbers:
Domestic: $194.09m
Foreign: $259.97m
TOTAL: $454.06m
//Thinks thread should be sticky-fied//
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!
So it won't surpass ROTF...like I thought. This sucks.
"My story is of many thousands, and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon."
Let's not forget it still has to debut in Japan, it will probably make at least 200 million there!
Si vis pacem para bellum...
The movie has still to be released in China too.
By the way there is no way that DOTM will make $200M in Japan. ROTF earned $23M there, which is surprisingly low. For example POTC 4 scored a massive $100M in Japan. Also ROTF earned $65M in China so I think that DOTM can score maximum $150M in the two countries combined.
Pretty big drop coming for Wednesday.
Early numbers are showing $10m.
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!

Comments about Flip Front & Backpack Infant Carrier - Black:
After my first son grew out of the baby bjorn (at only 9m) I purchased the infantino and have been happy with it since. With both of my boys we start with the bjorn and finish with the infantino. My youngest is now 14months and is just about growing out of being held frontward. I do have to put his arms and shoulders out of the top or they would be squeezed. But he enjoys it better that way anyway! I have yet to try carrying the boys on my back with the infantino but I believe that that is the next step! invest if you would like an affordable durable carrier option!

In this interview, we chat with Andy Chou, the chief architect at Coverity, a
company that produces proprietary software analysis products. In addition,
Coverity has been scanning over 300 open source projects, resulting in more than
11,000 defects that have been fixed by the open source community.
Defining the role of static analysis in the software industry
Targeting static analysis where it can have the most benefit
Interacting with the open source community
The role of automated defect analysis in commercial software development
Areas for future study and development
Scott Swigart: Why don't you introduce yourself and your role at Coverity?
Andy Chou: I'm chief architect at Coverity. I really have many different hats, but basically, I'm responsible for the technology direction of our products. Coverity was founded seven years ago, and we build products that help companies improve their software integrity. Our flagship product performs static analysis to find defects in source code automatically.
This is an interesting space, because we do software development ourselves, but we also analyze other peoples' software. We get to see a wide variety of processes, tools, and products.
We started out as a research project at Stanford University. The potential of static analysis technology was clear after we spent one weekend in 2000 and discovered hundreds of defects in the Linux kernel.
In 2003, we commercialized the technology and bootstrapped the company for four years without much external funding. Since then we got our first round of VC funding, and we have been expanding internationally and growing our product line since then.
Scott: Various open source projects use static analysis, and I know that Coverity has scanned something like 280 open source projects and provided those results back. Some projects more than others have worked to root out the issues found.
Before we go there, though, talk a little more about integrity scanning and higher-level issues related to software quality and design.
Andy: One of the things we discovered as we started to expand is that companies are interested in more than just the code in terms of software integrity. They're interested in how the code is designed. They're interested in how it's assembled by the build process. They're interested in how it's tested and whether there's anything that can be found by automatic tools during QA.
We have different modules that together form the Coverity Integrity Center. It's our combined offering that addresses different parts of the development life cycle.
There are a lot of tools in the Application Lifecycle Management space that focus on streamlining and automating processes in software development, like tracking bug tickets that come in or doing source control management.
We consider ourselves to be in an adjacent space because we analyze the artifacts of software development and really dig into how they are put together and what they are doing. For example, a source control system treats source code as nothing more than a pile of text. We treat source code at a more semantic level, by parsing it and analyzing its behavior on specific paths.
Scott: When you're talking about analyzing code, you have to consider the broad range of programming languages out there: C#, Java, PHP, and all kinds of other stuff. When you're getting more into the design and build process, even though there are artifacts, there are also build instruction files, for lack of a better term, and things like that to consider.
How did you choose where to invest? Back in the day, organizations used a fairly discrete set of technologies, whether it was .NET, Java, or C++. As time went on, we got Ruby on Rails, different kind of cloud platforms and services, development for handhelds, and whole ecosystems growing up around those.
I assume that to support each one of those requires a separate investment from you, so how do you decide where you're going to focus your resources? It seems like it would take a crystal ball to determine what's going to be around for a long time.
Andy: We focus primarily on areas where software integrity is essential, for example safety-critical or business-critical systems. Often, this means embedded software. For example, software that's going into a device, into a plane or car, or into a router, where it can be very, very expensive to fix a problem (think recall, or flying an engineer on-site to debug a problem).
The amount of software that's in these devices is growing tremendously. I think it's not really widely understood that software systems have become truly enormous over the past decade or so. For our customer base, a million lines of code is not considered very large.
If you printed out a million lines of code, it would be a six foot high stack of paper. It's far too much for a single person to truly comprehend all the details. It's hard to imagine any human product on that scale that has no errors in it. Some of the larger individual code bases we work with run into the tens of millions of lines of code.
And by the way, that's just one variant of that code base. We all know that in real software development, there are many branches of development that share a great deal of the code. We also have products put together by sharing different pieces of software across teams, and the complexity grows tremendously.
It's always a challenge to understand where to invest in order to maximize your impact, but we believe that listening to our customers is of paramount importance. They tell us which types of their software are most critical, and the most critical stuff is where automated scanning is most valuable.
Scott: You mentioned embedded devices, which makes a lot of sense, since they take a long time to develop, and they are very difficult to patch. You can push a patch to some types of embedded devices, but there others that don't have a network connection, and it basically takes a product recall to make changes.
Cars are a great example that I think bring the fact home to the general public that software is everywhere.
Andy: The average person probably thinks of software as something they interact with when they turn on their PC, but the reality is that most of the software we all interact with on a day-to-day basis is not on a desktop computer.
Some of it is in your car, your mobile phone has tons of software on it, and you use software almost every time you purchase something. Furthermore, when you get a piece of information off the Internet, you use many layers of software. It's not just on your computer and the website you're going to, but also on all the infrastructure in between – the routers, switches, wireless access points, firewalls, and database servers. There's an incredible amount of software that supports mundane everyday activities, and that's not really well understood.
At Coverity, we think in terms of the software supply chain. When companies put together applications or devices, they're no longer developing all of it themselves. So much software development is about pulling together components from different suppliers (including open source), integrating it together, and customizing it.
Scott: Let's switch over and talk a little bit about the work you do with open source projects.
Andy: We worked with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) putting together a scanning service for open source projects called Coverity Scan. That effort began in 2006, and today (early 2010) we scan over 300 different open source packages and have found over 11,000 defects that have been fixed by the open source community.
The DHS was looking for a way to have a big impact on software integrity across a spectrum of different kinds of open source projects. They saw that static analysis technology could apply to millions of lines of code and provide a quick way to harden open source infrastructure. Open source is used by virtually every company and government agency.
The economics of using shared code is compelling. But the downside is that defects in the shared infrastructure propagate everywhere. I think the DHS was concerned about this growing ubiquity, and what could be done to accelerate fixing more defects earlier.
Scan has been really successful in terms of raising the awareness of what static analysis can do.
Scott: You bring up a good point about evangelizing the benefits of static analysis. I think for a long time in the open source community, there was the notion that once code has been posted to a mailing list and looked at by a lot of people, that scrutiny will find all of the bugs.
When Coverity started scanning projects and turning these reports over to the maintainers, some projects probably really appreciated it, while others may have been more inclined to dismiss the results as a bunch of false positives. Some people would hesitate to believe that a program could really understand their code.
How have you seen the thinking about the benefits of static analysis evolve among open source projects over the past three years or so?
Andy: There has been a greater embrace of static analysis, both within the open source community and among commercial software makers. Part of the reason is that static analyzers have gotten better. They're starting to think about software more like a person would and less like a machine enforcing rules blindly.
Part of why we think static analysis is being adopted more is that it has begun to provide enough information to understand the problems that could arise if you don't fix a particular bug. That makes it more valuable and clearer that there is a real issue.
Some open source communities have really taken the results and run with them, fixing virtually everything that's found by our tool, whereas others are a lot slower to adopt it. We've found a high correlation between the projects that do static analysis and doing other things like extensive unit testing that also help with quality.
Scott: In other words, certain projects broadly adopt tools and techniques to raise quality as part of their culture. Those measures might include static analysis, unit testing, and maybe other things.
Andy: And they see static analysis as a useful technique that can address some of the gaps left by other techniques, in terms of achieving coverage of all of the code without necessarily having test cases that cover everything or missing things that a developer might overlook.
Static analysis is good at looking at all of the different paths in the software, which people are not so good at.
Still, it's been very difficult to get companies and open source adopters to really incorporate static analysis deeply into their daily workflows. We have found that, if you incorporate testing for defects into a nightly build process, for example, it really helps.
In that scenario, the developers are talking about defects that are fresh and about code that they just wrote, which really brings up the relevance level. Even for commercial software development, that matters quite a lot.
For a lot of companies that use our software, although not all, they see the initial set of defects that come out of the tool and they say, "Well, it's too much work to fix all of those right away, so we'll baseline that and fix everything that comes in new after today."
Scott: That makes sense. Like you said, if they're running it over a million or ten million lines of code, and thousands and thousands of defects come out, they might say, "Well, the software works today, and we're not getting a lot of complaints about the quality, but we want to continue to raise the bar."
It also seems like a pretty good educational tool. You check your code in before you go home at night, and in the morning, there are some defects waiting for you. That could very quickly help you change your own development practices to avoid defects.
Andy: We recently published a paper "A Few Billion Lines of Code Later: Using Static Analysis to Find Bugs in the Real World" in the Communications of the ACM that described some of the lessons we've learned over the past few years in terms of making static analysis work in a commercial setting.
One of the continuing lessons we've learned is that incorporating a new technology like static analysis into real, commercial software development really requires you to understand how people work and some of the complexities of their environment.
One example is that in our forthcoming Coverity 5 version, there's going to be support for multiple code branches and identifying defects in shared code, which I think almost every software development shop has. They have a release version, a development version, perhaps a branch where they're doing advanced work, and perhaps branches for customers that have special sets of requirements.
That is a very common scenario, but all of those different branches are variants of the same code base. It's the same when you have different targets. You may have a Windows version, a Linux version, and versions for other target platforms.
Even in embedded applications, each device may have a different CPU or set of devices and, therefore, a different layer on the bottom to interface with the low level components. Some phones have cameras and some have Bluetooth, but not all of them. The variants between these different products and branches are part of the real life situation in software development.
Supporting that well requires more than scanning a code base and finding a bunch of bugs. It means digging into where else the same bug may arise. If I understand your branching structure and the ways in which you put together all of the software components into different products, I can tell you which products might be impacted by this bug.
That can be really useful. If you have a bug and you fix it in one branch, you may not realize that it's also present in others. If you don't also find it there and tell the developer about it when it's timely, you may miss out on an opportunity to save quite a lot of time.
Scott: You mentioned that you've got an upcoming release, Coverity 5. Give us a little bit of a preview, in terms of what is coming in that version, and even some of the interesting problems that you're thinking about beyond that.
Andy: One of the features we're excited about in Coverity 5 is defect impact mapping. It gives developers a quick way to see what the most likely high-impact defects are. Instead of thousands of defects in a flat list, you can focus in on those that are most likely to be critical, such as those that involve things like memory corruption and memory leaks, which can be very expensive to find and to fix.
When you combine insight into which defects are critical with which defects occur in multiple code branches or streams, it's a huge step forward in understanding the impact of defects on the business.
A third feature is that we've mapped all the results that we find to the Common Weakness Enumeration, the CWE, which is an industry standard way of talking about software vulnerabilities. It's something that our customers have been asking for, because it allows them to understand defects not in terms of how Coverity classifies them, but also in terms of how the industry is talking about them.
Scott: You've talked about a lot of ways of finding and analyzing defects. What are some of the hard problems that are left? I think that, in terms of compute problems, this is probably right up there which speech recognition and automatic language translation, in terms of being a really hard computer science problem.
Andy: In our space, every time you turn around you face an NP-complete or undecidable problem. What we've found is that you really need to be careful about the trade-offs made when finding defects. You simply can't find all defects with a low false positive rate, while scaling to millions of lines of code while remaining almost completely automatic.
The balance between these many factors is something that you have to strike very, very carefully, because a tool needs to work for very large code bases as well as very small code bases, and on code bases written using different styles.
One of the challenges we continually face is how to make software analysis something that really customizes itself for the particular code base that's being scanned. You should treat code bases like patients, in the sense that you don't treat each patient exactly the same way.
If you look at their history, the processes used to develop them, and the idioms used in the code base, you may come up with a different set of diagnoses about what's wrong. That's a relatively new field. We've done some of the work in our products, but I think there's a lot of room to grow in that dimension.
If you're talking about a web application, for example, security may be of paramount importance, but if you're talking about embedded device, you may have a different set of concerns. The blind scanners that just look for a list of problems don't necessarily have that context, so they may look for things that are lot less relevant, just because they don't understand what you're trying to do with this application, how you developed the software, and what idioms you're using.
That's one area for future work. From a top down point of view, I am interested in pushing software analysis more deeply into the work flow and incorporating information from different sources.
Correlating the information between different systems that track bugs and track changes in source code is another interesting area for the future. There's tremendous value in converging information from many different sources and using that to better determine whether software is ready to release, to gauge its quality, and to determine which teams are doing a good job.
Scott: This is definitely an interesting space, and it's good to see it becoming more mainstream. We've covered most of the stuff I had on my agenda, so do you have any closing thoughts?
Andy: Despite the growth in the past few years, this space is still kind of nascent. I think the market is large for tools that are starting to integrate information from different software components together.
One of the things that we're looking at is how to increase the quality of the supply chain, in addition to just individual software projects. That's an area that we think will require some automated analysis. It's too expensive to manually look at code bases that are being produced by third parties or by suppliers.
There's no common regulation or standard by which software quality is measured today, so going beyond just finding defects, how do you determine what is high quality software? I think there's an open question out there, because today, there is no real metric for quality.
There's a lot of work to be done in that area, and that's going to make for an interesting future.
Scott: Great. Thanks for taking time to chat. This has been a great interview.
Andy: Thank you.

text: Mythology has it that Kerala was carved out of sea by the sage Vishwamitra. When his wrath had stained mainland India with the blood of the thousand slain Kshatriyas, he created Kerala out of sea by throwing an axe into the sea to be populated by the pure minded. This land is indeed pure and pristine. Kerala is one of the most popular tourist destinations. The tropical Sun, long stretch of beach on the west and misty hills in the east, rains for large periods of the year have given rise to a unique landscape blessed backwaters and perennial rivers. The land is fertile and supports dense tropical rain forests and lush green paddy fields and tea plantations. The famous beaches of Kovalam, Varkala, Kappad and others have been making tourists return year after year for more. Historic towns, lush forests and tranquil hill stations attract globetrotter from every nook and corner of the world. Kerala also owes its popularity to reasons such as easy accessibility, widespread use of English, friendly people and superlative food and accommodation. An added attraction is the authentic Ayurveda treatments provided here. But one of the most important things to do while in Kerala is go on a houseboat cruise on the backwaters.

I wish Ash had kept Beedril for at least a couple of episodes. For crying out loud, it was awesome (although it would've given Misty a heart attack if he had).

Just for fun, I've run down the list of starter evolutions and made my own dub names for each of them. Just try and guess, I dare ya'.

Glad they remembered to add the Contest to the anime like in the games.
I found it annoying that Casey had to show up. I never really liked her character, she's too overconfident. I was upset that Ash gave her a Pokemon, it made the Shippers go wild I'd bet.
At least her Chikorita evolved though. That was a surprise. 5/10

Great competition, I love the Bug type pokemon.
Finaly Casey's Chikorita evolved, it was amazing. but Casey treated badly to it...

This was a cool episode. The bug-catching contest was very cool. I really wish Ash would've kept Beedrill at the end though... It was cool seeing Casey's Chikorita evolve into a Bayleef. I definitely think it really is a male. Misty was very funny in this episode.
One of my favourite episodes, I really liked this one. I am a big fan of Casey, with her funny Electabuzz-song. Also, Bayleef is one of my favourite Pokemon (and has always been), and this was the first episode with a Bayleef appearing in it.
Ash is so nice! I liked this episode I wish it was longer dealing with another type of Pokemon than bug catching though. However, I liked that Ash won and that Casey got her stripes.
Elekid's watching you!
it's Cubone!
Loved seeing Casey again! She is one of my Johto favourites! And her Chikorita is too cute. Her Bayleef should wear that headband! And it was really sweet of Ash to give her that Beedrill. Love the Electabuzz song at the end!
A good episode, when I read the title I knew it was gonna be funny. Episodes with bug Pokemon and Misty are always hilarious. Close to the end I felt sorry for Casey until she proved herself to be strong. I'm glad Ash didn't keep the Beedrill for Misty's sake.
Best friends forever, Sisters at heart ♥
Alder: You wanna know what's better than battling?
Ash: What?
Alder: Eating hotdogs and battling!
Trip: My God, It's like looking into the future.
A strong point of Johto was that multiple characters were recurring in the anime. Seeing Casey again was nice and overall better for the entire episode. Also good thing Ash gave her that Beedril. She will certainly like that color.
I'm glad they got on Casey's case. But that makes me wonder if Pokemon were real, would I be doing the same thing she was doing? Just trying to win and forget about my Pokemon?

Following Kraft, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Intuit, another influential sponsor of ALEC has withdrawn its support from the right-wing corporate front group. Roll Call reports:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation today became the latest backer to withdraw financial support for the American Legislative Exchange Council.
A foundation spokesman told Roll Call that it does not plan to make future grants to the conservative nonprofit, which has come under fire from progressive activists for its support of voter identification laws and other contentious measures.
The Gates Foundation said it supported ALEC on issues regarding "teacher effectiveness and school finance." Lee Fang reports the funding could potentially have benefited "Microsoft as privatized charters adopt more technology in the classroom."
Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Color of Change, among others, had targeted the Gates Foundation for giving more than $375,000 to ALEC over the past two years. PCCC garnered more than 28,000 signatures in a matter of hours.
The Gates Foundation tells Ben Smith that it does not plan to withdraw the funding already promised to ALEC for this year. "We have already paid out a significant portion of it," a spokesman said.
