Linux Mint 14 & Knoppix 7.0.4
Linux Mint 14 "Nadia"
Linux Mint is a wildly popular Ubuntu-based desktop Linux with an emphasis on simplicity. Along with a strong assortment of open source applications and utilities, Mint takes pains to provide proprietary drivers and other helper tools for seamless-as-possible operations. The Mint 14 release features a new Windows Quick-list app for managing windows across multiple workspaces, as well as Alt+Tab window-switcher virtualization and a handy notification tool. Also debuting with this release is the new Nemo file browser, a fork of Gnome's Nautilus file manager based on the Nautilus 3.4 codebase.

Posted: 8:08 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2012
By Jamie Dupree
There are two words that for many years played a major part of the tax and budget debate in Washington, D.C. which are now no longer uttered on a regular basis in the halls of Congress.
What has gone out of style? A "balanced budget."
That was the buzz phrase for many years - in both parties - especially as Congressional Republicans and President Bill Clinton tangled over the budget after the 1994 Republican Revolution.
But after the GOP Congress did away with budget caps in the Bush Administration, and the government grew after the September 11 attacks, the numbers went the wrong way on the budget, and talk of a balanced budget faded away.
Now, the new political phrase is "balanced approach," which the White House has used to make the case that tax increases are needed, along with budget cuts, to rein in the growing budget deficit.
But nobody talks much in public about actually balancing the budget anymore - even the much ballyhooed budget from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) didn't envision a surplus in the next ten years.
While these figures may not dovetail with a final offers made on the fiscal cliff, here is the deficit estimates if President Obama's 2012 budget plan was implemented:
2013 - $900 billion
2014 - $670 billion
2015 - $610 billion
2016 - $650 billion
2017 - $610 billion
2018 - $580 billion
2019 - $630 billion
2020 - $660 billion
2021 - $680 billion
2022 - $700 billion
As you can see, even with extra revenue raised by allowing tax rates to go up on the top income earners in America, the budget doesn't come close to being balanced.
Now what about Republicans? Let's use the Ryan budget, that has been championed by House GOP leaders. Here are the budget deficits under that plan:
2013 - $800 billion
2014 - $500 billion
2015 - $300 billion
2016 - $240 billion
2017 - $180 billion
2018 - $170 billion
2019 - $210 billion
2020 - $230 billion
2021 - $220 billion
2022 - $290 billion
Obviously, that is much less in new debt than what the President's budget envisions, but it still doesn't bring the budget to actual balance.
And it means neither side has a plan on the table that would balance the budget for the first time since 1997-2001, when there were four straight years of budget surplus in the second term of the Clinton Administration.
"You could accept everything in the President's proposal," said former Congressional Budget Office chief Rudy Penner, "and you could accept everything in Speaker Boehner's proposal, and you would not solve the budget problem."
"In my judgment, you need about twice what they have put on the table," Penner added at a Washington symposium about the fiscal cliff.
So, when people ask me why the debt limit needs to be increased, I simply remind them that both parties envision a future where more debt will be accumulated by Uncle Sam, less if the GOP plan is used and more if Democrats have their way.
It has been almost 18 years since the Senate, in March of 1995, fell one vote short of approving a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, which would have sent it to the states for ratification.
That seems like ages ago, when reporters used to hear the words "balanced budget" over and over again.
Not anymore.

Depends which culture you're talking about... The kids in my neighborhood think nothing of shouting their unsolicited personal opinions at total strangers. They're about as unapologetic as you can get.
Actually, the adults are just as bad.
Then again, this is Brooklyn.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.

I recall feeling that teachers or people I looked up to back in the day responding to me with a matter-of-fact tone coming off as "mean" when I was 14.
But then you get to, you know, 16 and you start to see that it's part of the learning process.
I really REALLY hope that people understand that around this place.
I don't see anyone being a dick around here. If you want that, go back in time and visit Eatpoo.com circa 2001 or so. They were dicks.
The people here are just straight forward. Some are more curt than others, but that's a good thing.
Young artists need to know that the professionals have been where they are, but they also need to know that shit is hard! No one said any of this was easy.
Well, making art is easy. If you enjoy something, it will BE easy. But all of the other stuff that comes with it (getting better, getting a job, etc) - yeah, that shit is fuckin' hard. School sucks at telling young artists that.
I'm a sexy beast.
I've seen so many threads about perspective recently I'm losing count.
Lets see the top threads:
-Anatomy: How do I doo dis?!
-Life Drawing: Why it so hard?!
-Perspective: How this shit work?!
-What is Art: Lets make a set definition
-Traditional Vs Digital: Readdddyyyyy Fight!
-Give me resources on everything: While I ignore the resources sticky and artist reading list.
-I'm a beginner where do I start: Oh? ..... By... drawing you say?
I know I'm missing some obvious triennial stuff that that happens every year.

Newbies will always ask the same questions, the wrong questions, the stupid questions, and so forth. If it really bothered people they would just ignore the threads that don't appeal to them. Instead everyone jumps in like they can't wait to weigh-in on whatever the new annoying thing is.
Someone who joins here can't be expected to actually read all of the stickys before they can participate. I've hung out around here for years before participating (so long in fact that I couldn't remember how to get into my old account so had to just make a new one) and I still haven't read all of the stickys.
I don't think that very many people here set out to be rude. And... it is very easy to mistake the tone that a post is written in. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear regardless. That said, let's not glorify in earn your place in the pack type of wolfish behavior.
Here's the thing. All of us have come from different learning backgrounds, a great many have come up learning either through education or self-education, and the fact is, even if people come here to learn, there has got to have been some kind of prior form of education to have given the newer members ( I hate newb and all its variations) some basic understanding or knowledge to intelligently address the forum when making a topic.
CA should be the last place to ask such basic questions that should have been found out in the foundations of one's learning.
Pointing new members to stickies and expecting them to read is more polite then telling them flat out to go read a f$&king book and develop a basic understanding of picture making before you come here and make a fool of yourself before asking things like, "What line does it take to make a perfect circle without using a template?"
This is a simple matter of gaining a simple level of experience, which mostly comes from one's own learnings. Siting down and drawing & reading. Things we've all done and still do without running to a forum to get the answer.
Books have these answers.

What level should people be before they join conceptart.org? Or is the problem less about level and more about asking questions instead of opening a sketchbook, picking the books and doing the work?
What topic would suit the purpose of this subforum?
if any one ever posted for help are tips or anything like that and they engages in the same behaviors he or she condemned your basically being a hypocrite.

Personally to me it's not about level. What bugs me a bit is if A) they don't have a clear question or something they want answered. Vague questions get vague answers. B) if they don't even attempt what they're asking beforehand. C) If they're asking specifics about their own drawings but never give an actual example of their drawings. Oh yeah and C) if they don't do any prior research beforehand.
No one minds someone who makes a question and it's along the lines of
"Hi guys, I've been trying this on my own for awhile but I can't quite understand it, I looked up some thing about it but still can't quite get it. Here's some examples of what I'm doing. Can you help me with this this and this?"
Simple questions simple answers thread. Problem solved. FAQ for the top 20 questions asked on CA by new people. Problem solved.
Believe it or not CA is not the only forum on the internet that has new people asking questions the die hards have answered 45thousand million times.
I have mixed feelings about all this.
I don't mind people being humble and respectful in their questioning - I'd rather they were than arrogant because I hate arrogant people, and know-it-alls, and pompous pseudo-experts and all those other types the internet is rife with. But obsequiousness and constant apologising makes me cringe. If you ask a stupid question without checking for answers before asking it, then just own your fuck up and get on with learning. There's nothing worse than someone saying endless sorry's for asking something stupid or on the opposite side, someone getting bitchy and defensive for being told they've just asked something stupid.
But yeah, I also admit to not having read all the stickes here. There are a lot of them after all. Oops.
P.S. A frequently asked section would definitely be a good idea.

Will these same people read this thread before posting? Unlikely. So instead of making threads the offenders won't read, why not put a SQSA and FAQ thread in the more general forums where these questions get asked and make it required reading. One of those READ BEFORE POSTING OR ELSE!!!!1 type things. Heck why not make FAQ bullet #1 an example of how to use google to find your question on CA - there is a HUGE amount of information here but you aren't going to find it with the Vbulletin search.
Just a suggestion. Several forums do this and it does seem to help.
I'd put it in the signup - but that can get too long too.
The thing that I think bothers me the most is the same vague questions that you mention, but then no link to their DA account, Sketchbook, or even a single scanned image.
It's pretty much impossible to help anyone other than "Draw more!" unless they show where they are at in their learning.
At that point, all I can really give is personal anecdotes of how *I* overcame obstacles...which may not even help the person at hand.
There should be a thing that makes new comers actually go through the FAQ before they can post or something to that effect. The thing that annoys me isn't the saying sorry, although I can understand where Jeff is coming from, its, as others pointed out, the threads popping up asking already answered questions that are an inch under the 'Create new thread' button.
Just want to say I appreciate the actually well considered discussion to my cranky old man rant. It was mostly tongue in cheek and figured it wouldn't even evolve (I just hope I posted it in the right place Many of you (Dusty, Candra, Omen in particular) have touched on some really important points related to the topic. Clearly it touched on some things...and I'd like to clarify a few points:
On the "bloodthirsty wolf" thing...nature is that way. Maybe I come off that way occasionally but I always try to be realistic and offer help or advice I think the OP needs to hear...sometimes it stings. IMHO it needs to if that is the case. If you can't handle getting some sense slapped into you then you're probably not cut out to be an artist.
As I mentioned...it isn't even about questions so much, but unnecessary "pdfmita" groveling as an opening line (I'll leave the acronym up to the individual). Sure I'm capable of ignoring questions...but as often as not I feel it is important to respond with a wake-up call...and usually not for the OP directly but for the hundreds of anonymous readers of the thread.
Basically I always try to help around here...as best as my limitations allow. I am passionate about many types of art and design and have been very fortunate in my career so that I may offer some experience and perspective. I get a bit worked up because I feel CA could be so much more...and what it is is pretty good...I would just like to see it be an even stronger resource...which is hard to do when people don't have much initiative.
Anyway, thanks again for the open and respectful dialog.

I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
The problem with not knowing enough about art is, that you don't know how much you don't know... that is why people ask the questions they do. They take the old saying "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask" to heart, so they ask. I know that it is hard to comprehend the idea of asking other people to solve simple problems for you. I personally would rather look everything up myself rather than trust someone else's word for it. However, a lot of people come here and they want to feel like they are part of the community so they strike up what feels like a relevant question from the perspective of their relative skill levels. A FAQ section may help, but I doubt it. The best recourse would be to make a FAQs and moderate thread creation by new members. If they try to make a thread that has been done before, then refer them to the FAQ.
Jeffx99: I've read a lot of your posts over the years and I'd say that you're usually one of the more even keeled voices in the general forums.
My comment about the wolfish behavior was not directed at anyone in particular, rather it was meant to encourage general civility. I don't like the sentiments that are frequently expressed here along the lines that harshness is a form of tough love... sometimes it is, but most of the time it's just means to justify rudeness.
I find it amazing that people can read a single post and totally judge how they want the course of their relationship with another individual to go. I'd prefer to err on the side of caution when dealing with other people. By assuming that everyone is worthy of respect until they prove otherwise. Why would anyone force people to earn their respect? If someone is worthy of respect you might not ever know it, because they may never bother trying to prove their worthiness to you. I mean you can always decide later that you don't respect them. It's a lot harder to un-alienate than it is to alienate.
lol no. it would have the same effect of license agreements... noone reads them anyway... skipping to the end and hitting f8 or whatever... cmon.
jeff just vented... thats ok. dont make a drama out of it. is it that hard to digest to justify barriers for posting here?
no its not. due to its denizens and history ca became a place where people state what they think with a strong bias to professional picture making, and a lesser bias to beeing polite. you dont get the crit? read up on it, theres more potential resources than thereve ever been. you feel treated unneccessarily harsh? im sorry... grow a thicker skin, you gonna need it if you want to do anything creative for a living.
would you really rather have no reply, than having a harsh one?
ca has a certain reputation especially for people that get serious about art, for a reason. no asspats, no spoon-feeding, no oh someone takes up drawing, lets pet him, because thats so special. even typing thats leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
picture making is about the effort YOU invest... not certain answers/shortcuts, materials, tools, rules, mediums, colors.
I signed up for a forum once that made you post something in a specific FAQ/beginner's thread before any other threads would even be visible to you. Of course that doesn't guarantee that people will actually read it, but it is nice to be immediately directed towards the "Read this before posting" thread. It would be especially useful on CA where the stickies can sort of blend in with the rest of the forum.
Check out my sketchbook! Socially acceptable opportunity to yell at a teenage girl!
i dont think telling someone to go back studying the basics, objects to having mutual respect for him/her. exposing yourself through your art is tough... noone forced you to. do you want to grow as an artist? youre welcome here. are some replies hurting your feelings? pretty likely. are they therefore invalid? youd better reconsider that, if getting better is your goal.
theres the saying of... if you want to go for it, leave your ego at the door... and i strongly believe in that, and think it goes for every profession that goes beyond the ordinary.

I dunno the bloodthirsty wolves makes me think the people complaining about the complaining are scavengers, coming only to pick bones. It just gets silly. So,the people complaining about the "wolf pack" not offering to help are the scavengers on the corner only to come to get their little morsels after the fact? Seems like hypocrisy.
There is a difference between oh say, asking about oil paints and what brands than an obsession to see "the best oil paints being used on a picture," than just looking up good techniques or researching artwork used. Asking if it even matters is fine too.
But at the end of this, granted you can come here at any level but well some of the people asking questions want to do this as a career. You'd think they'd put a little more thought into it. Isn't research and learning about careers the reason why kids go from wanting to be a policeman/fireman/astronaut to desk jockey? Maybe shaking some reality and getting the wheat from the chaff is just a reality. If someone's feeling are so hurt from a forum post that they will not do art again well maybe this wasn't the right career.
One of us didn't become doctors because of the fear of having a patient die on you, the other continued to study because even though that's part of the risk, it's still worth it.

In reality the MSM, the Propaganda Department of the Federal Government, turned a blind eye to the tax increases to aid in the re-election of their ´Masters´...
Thank you Mr Merline.My friend in the tax business laughs everytime he hears the Won telling this lie.My friend showed me the basic tax rates for the past five years side by side. Even a dummy like me can see tax rates have not been reduced. Maybe a dollar or two at most.Meanwhile the give away programs, like Earned Income keep going up and up.Have 3 kids? Yeap, here is your $6,000 bonus.When the tanning bed tax first hit, one Salon in a neighborhood shopping center put up a 4x4 ft sign blaming Obama.He immediately got flack from the ones paying with EBT cards.
o´reilly has never really contradicted or attacked obama. He always finds either someone else to blame or puts it down to obscure occurrences. The dems must have some really good dirt on him.As for tax the rich? The rich have their money out of this country by now, legally shielded, and can afford to wait out the next four years and not buy/invest in anything. Or they can, as a historically large number of people have done since obama was elected, resign their citizenship and relocate to somewhere where they can make and keep most of their money. And the voters in this country are just that dumb they haven´t figured that out.
In Germany, in the 1930´s the middle and lower class was told that the country´s economic problems were the fault of the Jews. Now, Obama is is blaming the 2% instead.Maybe if the government would follow the law and have a budget, it would be a start.Also, why are we required to pay taxes if there is not a legally required budget?
Progressives are using Conservatives today like The Nazis used the Jews during WWII.Conservatives are to blame for EVERYTHING.Everything that Progressives do is GOOD and should NEVER be questioned.Everything that Conservatives do is BAD and should ALWAYS be demonized.Liberals claim to be compassionate. They are not.What is baked into their DNA is the hypocritical belief that their "ends" justify their "means".They are happier when Conservatives are demonized rather than when the poor are helped.Progressivism will collapse under its own weight so the sooner we can help it along, the quicker we can rebuild our Society.
Once again, the PINO lies with a straight face and the stupid media just let it ride.
Think of government as a cancer. It metastasizes. Always.
Obama is a serial liar, lying unabashedly to citizens, to joint sessions of Congress, to the military, to anyone who will waste time listening. Just his massive lies over ObamaCare (lower premiums, reduce costs, improve care, not cover illegals, keep your doctor, not pay for abortions, doctors falsely removing limbs) should have subjected him to ridicule and possibly removal from office as delusional. Instead, he´s reelected to continue his lies. As with a previous deceiver, Richard Nixon, nothing good will come from Obama´s next four years.As to O´Reilly, we stopped watching him 2 years ago due to his lack of research and his preference for bluster over informed argument. Plus, putting on blatant leftist propagandist like Alan Colmes, Juan Williams and the affirmative action beneficiary from Columbia is tedious at best.
O´Reilly is so easily mislead by his guests that it does make you wonder. His main goal seems to be appearing "reasonable", which entails letting libs lie thru their teeth on his show. And let´s not forget his getting audited for three years in a row when he dared ask why Jesse Jackson was allowed to file a tax return with millions claimed as uncataloged "expenses"! He learned not to poke that hornet´s nest again.
People are stupid. It´s my mantra now.I Tivo O´Reilly. His opening statements are usually concise. When he gets full of himself and drones on and on with Juan or Alan, then I just...ZIP PAST!It´s great. Sometime o´reilly will jump on things that no one else will touch. Then again he will get full of himself and talk over everyone else. ZIP!Then comes my absolute favorite: Miller! SLOW DOWN. BACK UP. YAY.
You´ve got it, #4! The Jews weren´t slaughter for ethnic diversity so much as the fact that they controlled the finances of Germany and would not support Hitler´s upcoming war efforts.Same today, only it´s going to be Christians. There will be a time of trouble such as never was. God´s word is coming to pass! Jer 30, Dan 12, and Matt 24. Repeated over and over in God´s word.
I have come to the conclusion that Bill O´Reilly is the spin meister...what he doesn´t say, challenge or bring up is the most sinister type of spin. This story is a perfect example...he panders to many so they will like him and come back to his show...inother words he´s a Lib in Sheeple clothing. I never watch his show anymore, the transparency of his hypocricy is sickening.

Summary: Ginny Weasley has dedicated her life to protecting the public images of the wizarding elite, making sure that their secrets never get out. But with Draco Malfoy constantly interfering in her life's work, it makes for surprising scandals of her very own.
By Firelight by Rebecca Ripple
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 61]
Barely sixteen years old and fearing for his mother's life, Draco stepped up in his father's absence to take his place amongst the Death Eaters. The following year at Hogwarts School was, without a doubt, the hardest he had ever endured. Now seventeen, the young Malfoy seeks to keep safe all he loves by doing the opposite, and taking the golden advice Albus Dumbledore had left him minutes before his death.
Hesperides' Apple by Ogygiasylph
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 228]
Summary: When Ginny Weasley becomes Draco Malfoy's wife, he suspects neither her true identity nor her dangerous motives. But when all Hell breaks lose and their relationship takes unexpected turns, there is more at stake than preserving their marriage--namely, preserving their lives.
Summary: There are situations in which being a Weasley is a bad thing. These situations include, but are not limited to, getting caught in the middle of an open hallway straddling one Draco Malfoy with one's lips planted firmly on his.
Inevitable Variable of Fate by vivalavita
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Ginny knew why she had been summoned before the words were ever spoken. This day, the day she would come to think of often in her many years, was an inevitable variable of fate. At least, that's what he had told her.
Summary: Everyone thought James was so...nice, so...perfect. Ginny knew better but she didn't want to give him up.
Draco somehow got himself caught up in the drama.
High Society by StarkidSkyler
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 2]
Ginny knew getting involved with Draco Malfoy was a risk, yet she let herself fall head over heels regardless. Six months into their marriage, however, she can take no more of the distance between them, and leaves him. Now, Ginny is back with Harry and they are getting engaged. Harry is loving, attentive, and reliable; the perfect husband. But is that what she wants?

The Proposal by serinah
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: They have been going out for a while now. They go on a date every Friday and spend Saturdays and Sundays together. Then there are week nights that are too long to spend apart, and lunches on Diagon Alley during workdays. Her stuff is all over his place - and did she really propose to him? He's sure she did. She's not so sure.
Holiday Mischief by Liandrin
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: No chestnuts roasting on an open fire; no mistletoe hanging from a doorway, inviting a warm Christmas kiss. Instead, Draco and Ginny's Christmas Eve is spent sitting on a dirty floor tied to one another - and not in the fun kinky way.
Anywhere Else But Here by Liandrin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 26]
Summary: Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. Sparks fly. Dreadfully romantic, wouldn't you agree? Well, that depends on your definition of 'sparks' - or the boy and girl involved. No, I'm afraid this isn't one of your typical clichéd romances; it's the other one. So take a seat and get comfortable. You're in for quite a ride.
Catching a Train to Paris by Liandrin
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 4]

Triad by TheDeepEnd
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 3]

Sand Castles by Liandrin
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]

Candy Floss and Chocolate Frogs by Liandrin
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Not all relationships start out sweet as candy but, like quickly melting chocolate, sometimes they're all the more delectable with time.
Starting Over by suckr4romance
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 110]
Summary: [Begun Pre DH] Draco, in order to avoid the wrath of the Dark Lord, negotiates his return to Hogwarts, the only place in the world he can be safe. Ginny, meanwhile, tries her hardest to forget everything about...(Boy-Who-Lived who?)...and focuses on her N.E.W.T. classes. Unfortunately, one moment of carelessness in Potions gives her a one-way ticket to weekly tutoring sessions with--yes--Draco Malfoy. This fic takes Draco/Ginny and attempts to make it go along with canon. Reviews are appreciated.
Time for Plan B by Liandrin
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 48]
Summary: Life doesn't always go according to plan, so sometimes you need contingencies. But what if your backup to your backup plan fails? What can you do? Mix in hexes, rumours, a reverse-Oedipus complex and something about a pig, and set it all in the year 1975 and you are bound to have issues - serious, psychologically-scarring issues. Oh, and did I mention Draco and Ginny were in the middle of all this? Yeah. Fun times.
A Birthday Kiss by Liandrin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary: Ginny had seen him at the bar, laughing with his mates. She didn't even know that he was capable of laughter, or having mates.

I was under the impression that if you went into preferences and selected the number of processors to use or to leave remaining then AE would use the correct number of procs. However I have found that since my machine is a WinTel system with hyperthreading enabled (doubling my processor count effectively) After Effects doesn't recognize the doubled processor count when I use Task Manager and see the system performance tab.
Any ideas? Maybe this has been covered before and there is a link I could get pointed to?
Yeah, on a good day I'm effin' brilliant. It just seems that ever since my illness is eating me alive, there are no good days anymore and I end up posting crap at 3.30 in the morning after only 4 hours of sleep... Anyway, it seems I misremembered some stuff which only applied to CS4. Sorry for the confusion. As Todd said, it would help to know more about the system and whether the virtual cores actually show up . If not, that might indicate a deeper problem like some shared library missing (.NET runtimes and that stuff) or the cores being MIA for otehr reasons...
> I obscured my total number of processors in the settings above.
Anyway, regarding your result: Nothing unusual is happening. You have 24GB of RAM and have left 6GB for other applications. That leaves 18GB for After Effects. You are telling After Effects to use 3GB per rendering process; and the foreground process needs the same amount plus a little bit. At 3GB per process (plus 20% extra for the foreground process's overhead), you can feed 4 background rendering processes and 1 foreground process with 18GB of RAM.
This is totally normal.
All of this is explained in the resources here:
Why would you crop the image that was supposed to show us how many processes were working, when the entire point of the conversation is how many processes are working?
After Effects does spread processing to all CPUs. You can see it in this video that I recorded: http://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/optimizing-cpus
If it's not doing so for you, perhaps hyperthreading isn't working on your system because of an OS issue. Is it working for other applications?
Dear szalam
if you've never heard of anything like that before then all i can say is that you learn something new everyday about people. i am sure there are some adobe users who don't even feel comfortable signing up and posting to these forums. at least i am over that hurdle but privacy is a major concern on the internet if you haven't been paying attention. i don't mean any offense by that statement either, i just think you might not be considering those who value their online privacy from potential wrongdoers.
I understand privacy concerns.
I used to be a technical support agent for one of the world's largest computer companies (I don't want to say their name, of course...but their initials were HP). And even with a technical background, I can't think of anything someone could possibly do with information on your system specs. Your email, your username, and all of that? Sure, some nefarious individual MIGHT be able to do something with those(if they wanted to spend the time and effort to target you directly), but be at peace; they can't do anything just by knowing your system specs.

Understood, but in this instance it seems a little more than paranoid. If you go to the doctor's office for a checkup, then intentionally fail to mention the pain in your elbow because you don't trust how they've implemented the HPPA law, you've done yourself little good.
By withholding pertinent information about your system you're impeding an accurate diagnosis.
It's not like we're asking about IP addresses or anything...

Born Michael Thomas Green on July 30, 1971 in Pembroke, a city in Ontario, Canada, he was the son of retired Army captain Richard Green and his wife, Mary Jane, a communications consultant. Music and comedy became his major passions from an early age; at 15, he was performing at stand-up comedy clubs, and he hosted a hip-hop program on CHUO, the campus radio station for his alma mater, the University of Ottawa. Green's show was immediately followed on the broadcasting schedule by an electronic music program hosted by Glenn Humplik. The two became fast friends, and they soon joined together as hosts of "The Midnight Caller," an overnight call-in show in which Green and Humplik would poke fun at callers. The show soon became a hit among college-age listeners in Ottowa. Green then took a stab at becoming a rap star in his own right. He performed under the moniker "MC Bones" in the humorous hip-hop group, Organized Rhyme. The outfit achieved a modest degree of success with its debut album, 1992's Huh? Stiffenin Against the Wall, which included the MuchVibe Award-winning single "Check The O.R." Conflicts with their label over the album's comedic content led to their disbandment in 1993, and Green moved on to focus on his television career.
His onscreen debut came with "The Tom Green Show," a low-budget, sketch comedy series-cum-reality-show produced for Rogers Television 22, an Ottawa-based community cable channel. Co-hosted by Humplik, the show's format took its cues from "Candid Camera" (ABC, 1948-49/NBC, 1949-1951/syndicated, 1951-54, 1974-79, 1991-92/CBS, 1960-67, 1987-88, 1996-2001) and "Late Night with David Letterman" (NBC, 1982-1993) with its loose collection of absurd comedy bits and assaults on average citizens. Green would harass passers-by with bullhorns, interrupt take-out deliveries or invade stores dressed in women's clothing. Where the show exceeded the limits of its predecessors was Green's willingness to break through the boundaries of taste for a laugh. He simulated sex with the corpse of a moose, placed dog feces on a microphone that he would thrust into the faces of unwitting interview subjects, and performed comedy routines with dead animals. Green's parents were often on the receiving end of their son's most demented bits. At various times during the show's network runs, he left the severed head of a cow in their bed, painted a pornographic mural on their van and visited them with Monica Lewinsky in tow. Green's antics, which were frequently delivered at the top of his lungs and with eyes bulging from their sockets, made him a cult hero among young Canadians, whose rabid fan worship drew the attention of The Comedy Network in 1997. The fledgling broadcaster picked up "The Tom Green Show" for stateside airing that year before MTV purchased the rights to the series in 1999.
After "The Tom Green Show" began airing on MTV, Green became something of an overnight sensation. Critics were alternately shocked or amazed by his behavior, but U.S. audiences lapped it up with as much fervor as their Canadian counterparts. Chart-topping rapper Eminem cemented his status as a pop culture icon by mentioning Green repeatedly on his hit single "The Real Slim Shady." Green himself would release his own successful song, "Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)" a berserk catalog of toilet jokes that vaulted to the top of MTV's "Total Request Live" (1998-2008). By 2000, he had made the leap to motion pictures, playing fringe characters with only a tenuous grasp of reality in "Road Trip (2000), "Charlie's Angels" (2000) and "Stealing Harvard" (2002). He also landed a high-profile Hollywood romance with Drew Barrymore after she asked him to appear in "Angels." The two were quickly engaged and toyed with the media and public about their impending nuptials. At one point, the pair appeared to go through a mock wedding during Green's stint as host of a 2000 episode of "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ). The couple would actually tie the knot on July 7, 2001, but filed for divorce less than six months later, thus bringing to a close one of the quirkier celebrity romances of the new millennium.
As was often the case with stratospheric ascents, Green's career stalled almost as quickly as it began. In 2000, he ceased production on "The Tom Green Show" after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He later wrote and directed a documentary about the experience, complete with graphic footage of his surgery, called "The Tom Green Cancer Special" (MTV, 2001), which earned praise from the mainstream media for its sober and frank tone. However, fans were bewildered by this new, serious Tom Green, and false rumors circulated that his show had been cancelled after a sketch in which he appeared at a bar mitzvah dressed as Adolf Hitler. However, Green's return to performing generated some of the worst reviews of his career, if not of any film ever produced. "Freddy Got Fingered" (2001), which Green directed and co-wrote with longtime collaborator Derek Harvie, also starred Green as a cartoonist who returns to his childhood home to rethink his life and career choices. When his father (Rip Torn) dismisses Green's decisions, he mounts a campaign of revenge that results in his parents' divorce and his father's arrest for child molestation. The subject matter, along with scenes in which Green whirled a newborn infant above his head by its umbilical cord, engaged in sado-masochistic sex with a paraplegic (Marisa Coughlin) and eventually caused his father to be sprayed by elephant semen, resulted in some of the most vitriolic negative reviews ever printed in mainstream media. The picture was a flop upon release, but found a small but loyal cult audience in the years that followed. At the 2001 Razzie Awards, Green himself accepted each of the five trophies bestowed upon the film.
Green returned to his core followers at MTV for "The New Tom Green Show" (2003), a traditional talk show with Green interviewing a variety of guests. Critics were nearly unanimous in their praise for the show, which saw Green temper his outrageous screen presence and focus on an irreverent but decidedly calmer tone that was not unlike David Letterman. Fans, however, were not interested in this shock-free version of Green, and the show was axed after just 11 weeks. Seemingly undaunted by its failure, he refocused his energy into a wide variety of projects for television and online media. In 2006, Green returned to the talk show format for "Tom Green Live!," a talk show filmed in his own Hollywood Hills home and broadcast on his website, TomGreen.com. Though essentially a traditional chat format, it also incorporated elements of his past work, including verbal sparring with callers, conversations with a foul-mouthed ventriloquist's dummy, and indulging in a four-hour debauchery session with stunt performer Steve-O, which ended with both men passing out. Green later began syndicating a shortened version of his show on The Comedy Network, and revamped the program to include a small audience. The new program, titled "Tom Green's House Tonight," eventually became part of a paid subscription service for viewers so that Green could cut out corporate sponsorship. Both versions of the program were widely praised by critics and viewers, and earned several awards, including Best Web Talk Show from TV Guide and a Webby Award for Best Variety Show.
In addition to his talk show, Green was a frequent correspondent for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (NBC, 1992-2009, 2010- ) that saw him take the straight man role in interviews with unusual people across the country. Green also briefly revived his rap career by releasing two albums, Prepare for Impact (2005) and 2008's Basement Jams while performing with various rappers on his talk show. Green was also a contestant on several reality competition shows, including "For the Love of Ray J" (VHS, 2009-2010) and the 2009 season of "The Celebrity Apprentice" (NBC, 2004- ), which saw him fired by Donald Trump after showing up late for a challenge after spending the previous night carousing with fellow cast mate Dennis Rodman. There were also occasional returns to features, albeit mostly in low-budget projects like the 2005 comedy "Bob the Butler" and 2008's "Shred." In 2009, he re-launched his stand-up career, which saw him performing comedy and rap at venues throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

"We can buy a few more props. Instead of using four loaves of bread in a skit, we'll use 10. Whoop it up." --Tom Green to the Toronto Sun, February 13, 1998 on what will change with "The Tom Green Show" moving from public access TV to Canada's The Comedy Network |
Green on the appeal of "The Tom Green Show": "When you watch somebody reacting to me walking in to a store and pouring mustard down my throat, you feel their discomfort, but you're in the comfort of your home enjoying watching people in really awkward situations. When I'm sucking milk out of a cow's udder, that's not intended to get a laugh -- it's more [to provoke] disbelief. And it's a good way to teach people about nature." --quoted in Entertainment Weekly, March 12, 1999 |
Tom Green on his skewed "Candid Camera" approach to television: "I don't think I come off as someone who's just out to fuck up shit. I think I have a way of twisting something to make it a little sillier. It's not mean-spirited and blatantly destructive or sexist or sacrilegious. It's more flirting with that in such a way that it's kind of endearing. No one's getting hurt, and people like it." --to Rolling Stone, May 13, 1999 |
Dick Green, Tom's father and frequent televised practical joke victim, on Green's relationship with his parents: "The boy's always thinking of us. In what regard I'm not sure, but he's always thinking of us." --quoted in Details, May 1999 |
"In 20 years, I don't want to be barging into grocery stores and knocking jam jars off shelves, but it works now. Me and the writers will keep fine-tuning and exploring and see where else it leads." --Tom Green quoted in USA Today, July 7, 1999 |
Green on why he has turned down MTV's offer of higher tech field equipment, why he wants to keep the operation small: "The people are supposed to think I'm some kid that came out of college and is fucking around with his video camera and is being a fuck and they're saying 'Get the fuck out of my shop, you stupid fuck.' If they think it's NBC coming in, they're going to be checking their hair and trying to think of something witty to say. "They shouldn't be afraid to punch me in the face. In fact, we want them to punch me. Actually, no! No, don't say that! We don't really want them to punch me!" --to Rolling Stone, September 16, 1999 |
On how "The Tom Green Show" convinces the people involved in the pranks to consent to the broadcast: "We usually are able to convince them because the stuff that I'm doing never really makes them look bad . . . I'm being a doofus and they're being surprised by the doofus." --Green quoted in Los Angeles Times, May 7, 2000 |
Tom Green on the worries that accompanied his bout with testicular cancer: "Are people going to look at me the same way? Are they going to relate to me the same way? What would kids that watch my show think if they knew I had a testicle removed? Am I not as funny a person anymore? Do people not laugh as much at a guy with one testicle? "As a comedian, I don't think it's good when the audience feels sympathy for you. I think that hurts your chances of making them laugh." --to Rolling Stone, June 8, 2000 |
Green on how he decided to deal with his illness in light of his public persona: "God said, 'Holy shit, Tom, I'm going to give you a curable form of cancer on your genitals, so you can have an unlimited license to do all the potty humor you want and talk about your balls and testicles on TV and nobody's going to be able to say no because you've got cancer there, so it's serious, so go for it. You're going to top the Monica Lewinsky show with this one, and I'm behind ya!'"-- quoted in Rolling Stone, June 8, 2000 |

Matthew Birt says:
Valentino Rossi got a close up view of the future of MotoGP in Sepang today when he chased rookie sensation Marc Marquez for three laps on the final day of testing in Malaysia. Rossi clung onto the back wheel of Marquez's Repsol Honda RC213V machine this afternoon and he was raving about the Spaniard's all-action and aggressive riding style. Rossi and Marquez...

The fisherman could afford to blow sunshine up MM's bum because he knew he was quitting and wouldn't have to ride against him. However, I see my point, despite being hypothetical has enough of a ring of truth about it to have provoked a response.
I assume the "like he's the king" part is aimed at Rossi, which only really serves to emphasize "the difference" and my point. So much resentment, so much bitterness. I mean, who the fk does Rossi think he is? a 9 times world champ or something!?

Rossi's a realist Bulto, much like most of his fans.
He don't mind being beaten in a fair brawl and knows he can't be the best forever. He loves the sport and respects a straight up guy. That ain't the same as a load of fake Man-love..
Stoner whispering sweet nothings in Lorenzo's ear then calling him for settling for second and using his brain to take the title..
I won't go to Motegi, quit..or drive a V8.
Whining about hard racing then T-boning Bautista..
What he can't abide, like many of us, is a jealous two-faced double talker.

The only bitterness is from you as you've again brought Stoner into a topic that has nothing to do with him.
Any response has nothing to do with your comments having a ring of truth about them, more to do with showing them for the inaccurate, childish, baseless crud they are.

geez rainmaker could stoner's head look anymore fucked up?? He says Marquez' name then talks about Rossi and his feelings for him. Clearly Rossi mashed his head beyond all recognition, and stoner? couldn't give too fucks about Marquez or talking about him he's much more interested in being the new prince.... in the saloon car paddock..
He don't mind being beaten in a fair brawl
I'll point you to Mugello '09 and the mother of all sulks in the winner's enclosure.
I won't go to Motegi
Ditto Rossi
Whining about hard racing then T-boning Bautista (t-boning is a bit rich)

Rossi's quite right, Marquez is as spectacular as Stoner. It makes things a little easier for me...
The King's dead, long live.....Aww fuck that, looks like there's a new Prince ready to step into those shoes. Good. Trouble for the princling is there's a covetous uncle (not Ezpeleta this time) within HRC looking to usurp the crown. Not to mention a reigning king who's of no mind to surrender it. Shades of the late 15th century England all over. Let the war of the Olives begin.

Roberts shows conscience for poor, business, partisanship
Many were surprised that the chief justice, appointed by conservative Republican George W. Bush, upheld the more liberal provisions of the Affordable Care Act such as the individual mandate, touted by President Barack Obama as the signature achievements of the health reform. Paul Rothstein, law professor at Georgetown Law School, says the man with whom he used to teach needed to land on "the right side of history" and morality as the deciding vote on an increasingly partisan court.

What works in your Ruger 77?
I have owned a few Rugers in the past, but, am curious of others experience with factory loaded ammo in Ruger rifles. The one I am buying is the 77 International, "full stock" in 30-06, I would like to know who has had luck with the 180gr. ammo, be it Hornady, Remington, Winchester, Nosler, etc. just looking for some input. Thanks.

Factory loads usually dont perform as well as home brewed regardless the gun. Once in a while you may get lucky and find a particular load that the gun likes and perhaps it even lives up to its hype, but its been rare for me which is why I load for all my rifles. As to Ruger specifically, they are by and large fine shooting rifles especially late models. The one risk of getting the full stock model is the stock itself. Full stock guns tend to be a bit finicky due warpage and the addition of the ferrule on the end bearing on the barrel. Not always however and one may get lucky there as well. Now recently I had owned a late model as you describe in 7-08 and found it to be a very good shooter giving handload groups of around 1.5 inches which is acceptable. I didnt keep it long though as while I love Ruger's that one just didnt grab me. Much depends on expectations and what one considers good shooting.

Honestly I love the 1/2 inch groups as much as the next guy, but, in time I have come to realize that 1 1/2 in. off of the bags is more than accurate enough for a "hunting rifle" with factory ammo. Reason i asked the initial question, I have had really good luck with federal ammo in my Savage's, Remington ammo in my 700's and my Weatherby's have alway's liked the Nosler stuff. I really have owned only two Rugers in the past and both seemed to like the Hornady ammo, just wanted other's recomendations before sinking a few hundred $ into a bunch of different brands. Thanks though Scott.

Yes absolutely, inch and half groups are fine for a hunting rifle with factory ammo if it can be had. Factory ammo is better today than ever especially in the accuracy dept. Velocity is another story as rarely will claimed speed be confirmed over the graph.

I bought a Ruger International in 308 cal back in 1984-5. Still have it & it's been my main hunting rifle since. I use the rifle on Sambar deer with 180 Gn round nose corelocks at 2450 fps.(app). Not super hot load but in the thick cover the sambar favour they work well. Always got good expansion with these & as I recall only ever lost one sambar...due to bad shooting. Has been a great little rifle and never had an issue with it. It's no tac driver but there is to much emphasis placed on that anyway.. groups to about 1-1/2 inches no matter what I feed it. Never had any problem with wood swell either in a mainly wet hunting climate.
I acquired a 375R Alaskan last year & took it to africa. No complaints with it either & it grouped to 1 inch with factory Hornadys straight out of the box. Guess I got lucky. Good luck with the '06.

I'll be honest most of Rugers shoot better than custom rifles people pay $5,000+ for and never happy. My 243 Win. loves the cheap 100 grain Power Point by Winchestor, my 22-250 shoots 0.80 groups with Nosler Ballistic tips from Winchestor. And my 223 loves the cheap Ultramax ammo in the 55 gr. that you can buy at Cabelas.
I love Ruger bolt action rifles!

I have a Model 77 ss Hawkeye .338 Win Mag, my go to gun for plains game and bear in Alaska. Ten trophies taken with this rifle...all one shot kills. Preferred ammunition is Federal 225 grain Premium Safari...tremendous expansion and at least 95% retained weight (on recovered bullets).

enysse, one of the Rugers I owned in the past, 308 win, loved the Ultramax. Eagle one, I have some Federal 180's from a previous 06' I was going to try. Scott, as long as velocities are close, I'm really not a velocity guru, I'd rather be sure the 'bullet' finds it's mark and preforms the way it is suppose to, even if velocity is 100-125 fps slower. Thanks for the input, I'll keep you posted once I get the gun scoped.

A nonprofit medical group is sponsoring statewide training Thursday on the safe use of the prescription painkiller methadone.
The Appalachian Pain Foundation is conducting the training live over the Internet for hospitals and clinics throughout West Virginia.
The group, which is funded largely by government grants, is providing the training in response to �The Killer Cure,� a series of articles in The Charleston Gazette about overdose deaths tied to methadone, said Executive Director Skip Lineberg.
The Gazette series found that West Virginia ranked first per capita in methadone overdose deaths, and that methadone was more likely involved in overdose deaths than any other prescription drug.
The number of Americans whose deaths were blames on methadone rose from 790 in 1999 to 2,992 in 2003, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
Many of the people who died abused the drug. But others were prescribed the drug legitimately for pain.
Methadone is a powerful and inexpensive painkiller that has become increasingly popular in the last 10 years.
But methadone also can be uniquely dangerous for patients who are not used to strong narcotic painkillers. A dose that is therapeutic for one person could kill someone else.
One of the problems is methadone�s package insert, which includes a �usual adult dosage� of up to 80 milligrams a day that could kill someone who is just starting to take methadone. A U.S. Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman said the agency is reviewing that language.

Protect your family from wood burning fireplace smoke.
The smoke from your wood burning fireplace can seriously affect the health of your family, your neighbors and your community. According to EPA, Most of the harmful wood smoke particulates that go up your chimney can come back into your home and cause serious health problems. Now, you can change that!
The HearthCAT is designed to reduce your risk of lung disease and protect the health of you and your family. Make the right choice by installing a HearthCAT Emission Control System in your wood burning fireplace. The HearthCAT Technology is a patented catalytic system designed especially for wood burning fireplaces. The HearthCAT is positioned on the fireplace grate against the back wall of the firebox. The System creates a clean wood burning fireplace. This is the only passive technology available for emission control of wood smoke emissions from fireplaces.
The HearthCAT is EPA Phase II Qualified and was recently awarded the coveted Clean Air Excellence Award for new technology by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The HearthCAT will also increase the heating efficiency of your wood burning fireplace. The HearthCAT is most efficient when the fireplace is in a low to moderate burn. When the burn rate of the fireplace is about 3 Kg per hour, the HearthCAT can actually double the heating efficiency of the fireplace. Less pollution and more heat. The INTEGRATE Fireplace Grate allows the homeowner to install the catalytic device in one easy operation by replacing the existing grate with the patented INTEGRATE System from Healthy Hearth. The installation of the HearthCAT will convert your conventional wood burning fireplace into an EPA Phase 2 Qualified Fireplace. Healthy Hearth LLC is the Exclusive distributor of the HearthCAT with the patented INTEGRATE System.
Fits fireplaces 36" to 48" wide.
Shipping Weight: 26 lbs.$439.00 -

Yes, two parallel lines can meet depending on the geometric context. In the typical, standard context of Euclidean geometry, this is not possible. However, mathematics always " ******* " a certain context of restrictions and logical limitations (e.g. real numbers vs. complex plane). Real projective geometry is one in which parallel lines meet at a point at infinity. An interesting implication of this is that +infinity and -infinity are equal.

Actually, parallel lines can meet if the space is curved

Course reviews

The course is a totally different beast than last year. We have moved several of the baskets, you now start and end on the other side of the road. The course is longer and more challenging.

Love that I can mostly practice my long open drives but there's not too much variation.
