For his performance, Heide has been named the first MIAC Men's Golf Athlete-of-the-Week for the 2012-13 season. |

Eight Crazy Ways to Commemorate the Titanic's Demise
Nearly a century ago, on April 14, 1912, the infamous R.M.S. Titanic struck an iceberg sending more than 1,500 people into the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. For 160 horrifying minutes, the supposedly unsinkable ship plunged beneath the water's surface, eventually settling on the ocean's floor. As the100th anniversary of the sinking approaches and people's enthrallment with the lux liner magnifies, the ways in which Titanic enthusiasts can commemorate the legendary disaster are multiplying, too. From a rerelease of the blockbuster movie Titanic in 3D to an opportunity to dine like the doomed passengers, we've rounded up eight dark (yet educational) ways you can celebrate the centennial of Titanic's doomsday.

On the bed, lies your pillow
It's been there since you've been gone
And in the closet, your favourite shoes, you used to wear
And the perfume that I bought you
It still lingers everywhere
Somethin' tells me, it's not over yet
On the night-stand, is your picture
The one I've held, since you've been gone
The same picture you gave to me when we first met
It don't hold me in return
But it says, please don't forget
And it tells me, it's not over yet
It's not over 'til the memories of you
Have all died
'Til the tears from my eyes
Have finally dried
It's not over 'til that phone rings
And I don't reach to talk to you
And hear you tell me, it's not over yet
It's not over 'til that phone rings
And I don't reach to talk to you
And hear you tell me, it's not over yet
And hear you tell me, it's not over yet

this will be an in-store exclusive
the weakest shit since
anyone know when the fall line hits the online shop?
that comment was taken wholly out of context, what i meant to say was that i would not wear products that are associated with fat fucks. granted, i am never aware of who is associated with a product per se, but if a person that represents the company is fat and is often visible to the public, then i would not be wearing or supporting that product. nothing against fat people, actually everything against fat people. get off your ass and hit the weight room.
how do the shirts fit i searched the thread but got shorts and jeans....
i wear like a large and im 5-10, but don't like my shirts baggy so would xl be good or large?

Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Lexus GS 300 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 88000 miles
where online can I find detailed instructions on how to replace the timing belt? My manual says 60,000, but everything I read says 90,000. Which is right?
2000 Lexus GS 300 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 88000 miles
where online can I find detailed instructions on how to replace the timing belt? My manual says 60,000, but everything I read says 90,000. Which is right?
March 1, 2009.
March 1, 2009.
Remove all necessary components for access to the upper timing belt cover. Remove the 8 bolts and lift off the upper (No. 2) cover.
Paint matchmarks on the timing belt at all points where it meshes with the pulleys and the lower timing cover.
Set the No. 1 cylinder to Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke and check that the timing marks on the camshaft timing pulleys are aligned with those on the No. 3 timing cover. If not, turn the engine 1 complete revolution (360 degrees) and check again.
Remove or disconnect the following:
Timing belt tensioner and the dust boot
Turn the right camshaft pulley clockwise slightly to release tension, then remove the timing belt from the pulleys.
Upper (No. 3) and lower (No. 1) timing belt covers
Timing belt guide
Timing belt from the engine
If the timing belt is to be reused, draw a directional arrow on the timing belt in the direction of engine rotation (clockwise) and place matchmarks on the timing belt and crankshaft gear to match the drilled mark on the pulley.
If the old timing belt is being reinstalled, be sure the directional arrow is facing in the original direction and that the belt and crankshaft gear matchmarks are properly aligned.
(((Camshaft and crankshaft pulley positioning for timing belt installation-3.0L)))
Install the lower (No. 1) timing cover and tighten the bolts.
Set the No. 1 cylinder to TDC again. Turn the right camshaft until the knock pin hole is aligned with the timing mark on the No. 3 belt cover. Turn the left pulley until the marks on the pulley are aligned with the mark on the No. 3 timing cover.
Check that the mark on the belt matches with the edge of the lower cover. If not, shift it on the crank pulley until it does. Turn the left pulley clockwise a bit and align the mark on the timing belt with the timing mark on the pulley. Slide the belt over the left pulley. Now move the pulley until the marks on it align with the one on the No. 3 cover. There should be tension on the belt between the crankshaft pulley and the left camshaft pulley.
Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the mark on the right side camshaft pulley. Hang the belt over the pulley with the flange facing inward. Align the timing marks on the right pulley with the one on the No. 3 cover and slide the pulley onto the end of the camshaft. Move the pulley until the camshaft knock pin hole is aligned with the groove in the pulley, then install the knock pin. Tighten the bolt to 55 ft. lbs. (75 Nm).
Position a plate washer between the timing belt tensioner and the block, then press in the pushrod until the holes are aligned between it and the housing. Slide a 0.05 in. Allen wrench through the hole to keep the pushrod set. Install the dust boot, and then install the tensioner. Tighten the bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (26 Nm). Don't forget to pull out the Allen wrench.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise 2 complete revolutions and check that all marks are still in alignment. If they aren't, remove the timing belt and start over again.
Install the remaining components.

Information about parking rules in the Australian Capital Territory.
Examples of where it is illegal to stop or park your vehicle are:
For a full description of parking rules you should refer to the Australian Road Rules.
Please remember that leaving your car parked to obtain change for a meter or ticket machine may attract an infringement notice.
Motorists must purchase tickets after parking their car in a Government parking area. Read instructions on the ticket machine carefully and always check the ticket details.
Tickets must be displayed face up on the dashboard of vehicles, and must be able to be read from outside the vehicle. Prior to leaving the vehicle, ensure that the ticket is clearly visible from the exterior of the vehicle.
Pre-paid long term tickets are now available over the phone. Please call 13 22 81 for further information.
A prepaid ticket can be used in any A.C.T. Government multi-stay ticket car park as long as the fee is equal to or less than the fee displayed on the ticket. Prepaid parking tickets cannot be used in short stay car parks.
Prepaid tickets do not guarantee you space in any particular car park and once vacated a car space becomes available for use by other motorists.
(Note - Pre-paid tickets are not valid in privately operated car parks. You should always check signs at entrance to car parks. Private car parks may have additional instructions.)
For the fee and time limit of the area you should read the instructions on the meter carefully. Parking signs will also advise the time restriction for the area.
Motorists pay when exiting for the time they occupied the car park. The A.C.T. Government does not operate any car parks controlled by boomgates, but there are several operated by private companies.
Parking time limits are displayed on signs within that parking area.
Payment is made by using the ticket machine, or purchasing a pre-paid ticket.
Once motorists leave a long stay car park, the car space becomes vacant for further use by other motorists.
Pay parking is currently in place in the City (Civic), Woden (Phillip), Belconnen, Tuggeranong (Greenway), Dickson, Deakin, Griffith (Manuka) and Kingston.
The Government is keen to improve the efficiency of the road and parking infrastructure by encouraging greater use of public transport, cycling and walking. Pay parking helps to achieve these objectives. Pay parking also encourages the use of Park 'n' Ride and "3 for FREE" facilities, and helps manage the growing demand for carparks.
New parking fees will be introduced in Territory-owned car parks from Wednesday 2 January 2013. The fee Increases will range from $0.40 to $2.00 per day depending on location.
For a copy of a map showing the location of pay parking areas in the Town Centres, please refer to the downloads below. Fees displayed on these maps take effect on Wednesday 2 January 2013.
(Note - Pre-paid tickets are not valid in privately operated car parks. You should always check signs at entrance to car parks if unsure.)
Park and Ride facilities are available in the major town centres. The total number of spaces provided are determined on a locality-by-locality basis according to estimated future usage.
Park and Ride reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves the flexibility of bus travel and increases patronage on bus network trunk routes.
Park and Ride Parking Permits are purchased through ACTION in conjunction with associated Bus Passes. For details see:
Motorists may park all day for free in specially designated areas, if three or more people are in the vehicle at the time of parking. Three for free tickets can only be issued from designated parking locations between 7.30am and 9.00am Monday to Friday. Tickets must be displayed face up on the dashboard of vehicles, and must be able to be read from outside the vehicle.
For Information about where motorbikes can park in the ACT refer to the rego.act website.
The Parking Policy Unit develops and implements policy for a range of parking issues, liaising as appropriate with other areas such as PALM and Roads ACT.

While the Crimson Tide isn't in nearly as bad of shape in the front seven as it was coming off the 2009 national title, the linebacking corps is undergoing a much greater identity overhaul than the defensive line and will have to count on the stacked depth and the limited game experience of the two returning starters. Replacing the production of first round draft pick Dont'a Hightower and second rounder Courtney Upshaw will be no small task considering the two linebackers were two of the Tide's three leading tacklers last season with a combined 137 stops and 13.5 sacks, most of those sacks coming from Upshaw. Thankfully the middle linebackers have plenty of experience between them while the outside linebackers showed promise over the spring, so the drop off could ultimately be negligible.
The most experienced player of the bunch is Nico Johnson, a 6-3 245 senior who has spent the last few years as a top back up and situational starter. While Johnson has 16 starts to his credit, many of those came in 2009 when Johnson was called on to replace the injured Dont'a Hightower. With Hightower back in 2010 and last season, Johnson became more of a run stopping role player, rotating often with C.J. Mosley at WLB. Though Johnson started only seven games last year, he's the leading returning tackler for the Tide with 47 stops, including one sack and 5.5 TFLs. Most expected that his experience and seniority would lead to a move to Mike linebacker, but surprisingly Johnson is still rotating with Mosley during the first few days of fall camp. Mosley, a 6-2 232 junior, has been working with the starting defense since his true freshman 2010 season. Though he was a raw prospect at the time, and particularly suspect against the run, his pass coverage skills made him an asset early and he's been the preferred linebacker in passing situations over Johnson. Though Johnson has improved over the last two seasons, he is still first and foremost a run stopping specialist and will likely continue in that role.
Starting at Mike linebacker will most likely be sophomore Trey Depriest. At 6-2 245 he has the size that Saban has typically preferred in the middle, and though he did not start in 2011 he played significant snaps as a true freshman and even filled in for Mosley during the BCS National Title game after he was forced out of the game with a hip injury. Depriest was one of the more highly touted members of the Tide's 2011 signing class and could have had his pick of college destinations, boldly stating his collegiate goals were to play as a true freshman, start as a sophomore, and win the Butkus Award as a junior before entering the NFL draft early, and so far he's right on track. Depriest finished last season with 25 tackles. There's no clear cut standout among the backups inside, though, and developing depth will be a priority early. True freshmen Denzel Devall and Reggie Ragland were both four star prospects in the 2012 signing class and are currently working behind Depriest, Johnson, and Mosley, but they are raw prospects despite their talent and hopefully won't be needed during significant game situations.

Nico Johnson | 13 | 25 | 47 | 6.5-18 | 1.0-5 | 1-2 | 7 |
C.J. Mosley | 11 | 17 | 37 | 4.5-20 | 2.0-15 | 1-1 | 5 |

Xzavier Dickson | 7 | 2 | 3 | 1.5-7 | 0.5-5 | 0-0 | 0 |
Moving outside, one of the best surprises so far in the fall is the work of Tana Patrick at Sam. The SLB position had been one of the least utilized since Saban's arrival despite some standout performances there. Corey Reamer in particular surprised many by solidifying a starting role outside in 2009, but even he was routinely one of the first players off the field in favor of the Tide's nickel package that season. Not until 2011 did Alabama consistently utilize the Sam and remain in it's base 3-4 alignment, with the credit needing to go the emergence of Jerrell Harris as a true every down player. Unfortunately Harris graduated last season, leaving that position open once again for someone to make it relevant. Adrian Hubbard, who most consider a Jack linebacker prospect, has flipped back and forth between the two outside spots and will likely continue to do so, but Patrick's emergence outside could mean good things for the Tide front seven. Like Harris, Patrick was one of the top linebacker recruits in the country when he signed with Alabama, and also like Harris he spent the first few years of his time in Tuscaloosa bouncing from one position to another without finding a place to contribute. Hopefully he'll continue to imitate Harris by locking down the SLB spot and performing at the same high level this season to give the front seven that much more versatility in 2012. Currently working behind Patrick during fall camp are freshman Dillon Lee and junior Jonathan Atchison. Atchison had surgery last fall to repair a torn bicep, but has been fully cleared to participate in fall camp.
On the other side, finding someone to fill the shoes of Courtney Upshaw will be a tough task, but two candidates have emerged so far over the spring and fall. Adrian Hubbard, a 6-6 248 sophomore, finished the spring with the Dwight Stephenson Lineman of the Game Award after a seven tackle, four TFL, and three sack performance in the A Day game. Though he's flipped back and forth between Sam and Jack, he'll primarily be utilized as a pass rusher no matter where he lines up. Hubbard had two offseason hernia surgeries after the conclusion of spring camp, so remaining healthy may be a concern this fall. Behind him is 6-3 262 sophomore Xzavier Dickson, who also played a significant role at Jack during the spring, lining up there with the first team defense while Hubbard moved over to Sam. Dickson played in seven games as a true freshman last season. Considering the Jack linebacker is more often than not ask to put his hand down and line up at DE, it's no surprise that reserve defensive linemen Anthony Orr and Chris Bonds have both been getting a look here as well.
Whoever lines up at Sam or Jack, though, is more than likely going to be a matter of semantics this season. With Hubbard's experience at both outside positions and a quality player in Dickson, plus the potential emergence of Patrick, the front seven will have a very versatile mix of skill sets to mix and match. For example, during the A Day game Hubbard routinely lined up at Sam while Dickson put his hand down on the opposite side of the line, giving Alabama for all intents and purposes a 5-2 front. Its that sort of versatility that should give the Alabama front seven a good shot at remaining a dominant unit in a coming season without it's two biggest names from last season.
On the whole this is a talented group with a load of potential thanks to the phenomenal recruiting of the past few seasons, but it is somewhat faceless compared to the last several seasons when names like Rolando McClain and Dont'a Hightower were being thrown around as All American candidates. Still, with as good of a three man rotation in the middle as anyone in the SEC and a deeper defensive line than in 2010, there shouldn't be near as much drop off from the linebackers as we saw the last time Alabama was coming off a national title season. This is still one of the top units in the SEC.

Almost every terminal is slow - seriously (self.linux)
submitted 5 months ago* by sleepycal
This is a follow up from a previous thread about long lines of text lagging most terminals; http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/17jwza/displaying_a_long_line_of_text_seriously_lags/
Several suggestions were made in that thread on which terminals can handle this, but most have shown to be inaccurate.
Run the following in your terminal;
for i in {0..9999}; do echo -n "------$i-"; done
Then scroll up and down and see how long it takes for the terminal to render the changes.
Environment: VMWare Workstation 10 w/ Guest Tools. Host is Windows 7, quad i7, GTX 560 Ti. Guest is 64bit Ubuntu 12.04.3 with 3d accel, 4 vcpus, 8GB RAM, running i3wm.
Others have posted their own benchmarks in the thread as well, all with varying results.
Absolutely no lag, but requires some tinkering to make the font rendering cleanly;
(Credits to aphax for this)
$ vi ~.Xdefaults xterm*iconName:Terminal xterm*eightBitInput: false xterm*cursorBlink: true xterm*faceName: Monospace xterm*cursorOffTime: 300 xterm*metaSendsEscape: true xterm*faceSize: 8 xterm*Background: #000000 xterm*title: Terminal xterm*cursorOnTime: 300 xterm*utf8: 1 xterm*Foreground: #E6E6E6 xterm*geometry: 110x31 xterm*cursorUnderLine: true Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.autohint: 0 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.rgba: rgb $ xrdb -load .Xdefaults; xterm
Absolutely no lag, small amount of tinkering needed for coloring.
(thanks for DM5EliteToast for recommend)
Smooth-ish scrolling, no lag, however fonts do not render as nicely as xterm. I was unable to find a config combination that would make this look as nice.
The most obvious answer for me would be xterm, purely because of code maturity. However I've had issues with xterm keystroke/escape/meta handling in the past, so YMMV.
It seems bizarre that rendering long lines of text causes so many problems, every few months a new terminal seems to pop up and they all are just as bad.
There does seem to be a mixed response of some people not being able to reproduce this problem, this suggests that perhaps the hardware is having an impact (although I'm not too sure how difference in hardware would cause gnome to thrash the CPU at 100%). It could be that some people are not as picky when it comes to terminal speed, but for me anything >5s response time would drive me insane.
This thread is the combination of many hours worth of testing and input, not just from me but many others as well. Hopefully it will help others avoid this problem in the future!

I also had no issues in konsole, in case you thought that one was inaccurate.
[–]8ofspades 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Same here, works flawlessly.
[–]xopher_mc 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
konsole all good here too
[–]karper 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Confirmed on yakuake (konsole) on a netbook (eeepc 1015pem, intel graphics). No issues whatsoever.
[–]Beckneard 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Yup works good, there is some small delay when minimizing and then unminimizing the window but it's not horrible.
[–]rrohbeck 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
No issues with konsole, with Intel graphics or a 7850 with the open drivers.
Edit: gnome-terminal horribly slow.
[–]DSMan195276 7 points8 points9 points 5 months ago
I just tried it on urxvt, no lag issues at all when it was printed or when scrolling on the output.
As for rendering fonts, check out the .Xresources file. You can use it to set the fonts of Xterm or Urxvt, and in general you can use any font you want (I think you can use anti-aliased fonts, I use simple terminal mono-space fonts though)
[–]DimeShake 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
I've seen this behavior on urxvt with very very long lines. Take a very large database dump and grep it without thinking -- it'll output a line that might be 5MB long (or more). urxvt completely chokes on that, but that's an extreme case. OP's scriptlet doesn't break a sweat on my system, though - scrolling or otherwise.
[–]pushme2 3 points4 points5 points 5 months ago
Let me ask you a question, what is your hardware? Are you working over SSH?
[–]Saend 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Can confirm xfce4-terminal: no lag.

[–]Saend 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Well thank you =)
[–]KFCConspiracy 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Confirmed as well.. xfce4-terminal does just fine. That's why I use it!
[–]asimian 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
It's the best terminal IMHO.
I started using it before I went over to XFCE4. It's a lot less bloated than Konsole (which I used to use back in the day) and gnome-terminal.
[–]redshadowhero 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Another confirm here on Terminator; I've got no weird rendering or lag. This is on debian jessie, if anyone is wondering.
[–]sleepycal[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Just updated the original post with my bench specs - the problem is there both with and without SSH
[–]antenore 5 points6 points7 points 5 months ago*

You need the whole xft part (adapted to your needs). You can avoid using some of the urxvt options
Thanks for sending this over, I gave it a shot and tried tinkering as well but the font did not render as cleanly as xterm. Perhaps there is a working combination there, but I couldn't find it.
[–]maheart 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
gnome-terminal: no slowness detected at all. I have 16GB of RAM and SSD, not sure how that effects performance.
[–]RumbuncTheRadiant 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Same here. I'm going Huh? What's the problem? It's instantanious!
I wonder if the guys whinging about slow are perhaps running 32 bit OS's?
[–]P-Nuts 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Thinkpad X230, i5-3360M 2.80GHz, 8GB, Ubuntu 13.04. GNOME Terminal can scroll up and down and gets to about 25% usage, but it's still smooth enough.
[–]centenary 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
To add my own experience to the mix: I'm running urxvt in a VM, it scrolls through the output with no lag or rendering flaws
[–]xhanjian 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
no lag, urxvt here.
[–]someFunnyUser 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Some time ago I did similar tests, but the amount of text was much bigger (~5MB) and from all terminal that I had was the one I was using the fastest. It still is: "konsole" from KDE3. Thanks for the trinity project which still provides RPMs for my fedora.
Here are the times (time cat /tmp/test.txt):
All terminals were using a default font and subpixel rendering was enabled. driver: nouveau
[–]petepete 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Very fast for me in urxvt too. Here's my config (and a screenshot).
That config works a little better for me, but doesn't work very well with monospace font, or any font under 10px, the font doesn't seem to hold its proportion.
[–]fmoralesc 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
A bit late for sharing my results, but what I got was:
I used gnome-terminal 3.10 and tmux 1.8.
I never noticed any lag, but there's certainly a problem with gnome-terminal's text reflowing. tmux seems to override it, so I would suggest using it.
Curious, I didn't realise that tmux supported mousewheel. I'll check that out, thanks.
[–]ssssam 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago

[–]nexzen 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I'm sorry but I can't reproduce the problem. On my machine (a virtual one granted) every terminal i've tried in your list renders just fine while scrolling. Actually it's xterm that tears a little bit. What sort of graphics driver are you running; as it's a system wide issue could that be the problem?
[–]rockon1215 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I don't think it's a graphics-driver related issue. When doing these tests it was terminator that was eating up CPU rather than Xorg or compton (composition manager)
[–]nexzen 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
FWIW If X is falling back to a software renderer for some random reason then it would eat up CPU like there is no tomorrow. I'm not sure if the VESA driver is also helped along by some software rendering for more advanced functions? But I think that is usually what X11 falls back to if a driver doesn't load properly.
I'm actually running in VMWare as well, I've updated the original post with bench specs.
At a smaller window size (not maximized) there was no lag and CPU usage stayed below 10%
Maximized, there was some lag and CPU usage jumped to 10-15%
[–]Erwyn 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I noticed that this "lagg" feelings depends on wether the terminal is opened in a full-screen window or not. I Use terminator, it's not laggy if not on full-screen.
[–]Occi- 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Sadly, terminator gets really slow at big sizes. Lags like hell in Vim sometimes.
Yes, that's why I use gVim (shame on me), which doesn't suffer these laggs
I always edit stuff over ssh (sysadmin) and generally work in a terminal so regular vim is the only way for me. I just tend to not have huge windows, and if I do I scroll using steps like ctrl+f or ctrl+u instead of spamming j or whatever. And og course :linenr and such. I'm too used to terminator so can't really change to a "sinple" terminal either. Maybe I'll have to start using tmux more.
[–]Quazatron 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Gnome-terminal on Mint Cinnamon, no issues whatsoever on my lowly Corei3 machine.
[–]thoneney 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Working great here, xfce4-terminal.
[–]aphax 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Not here. It seemed to initially let me scroll through it all without a hitch, then when trying to actually select text, xfce4-terminal stopped responding and started using 100% CPU.. it's been at it for 5 minutes now -.-
[–]aphax 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago*
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's obsessed with terminal speed :) xterm has always been the absolute winner for me. It's the only terminal that really feels snappy even on older PCs (from what I can tell the CPU and videocard 2D acceleration are the most important factors in terminal text rendering speed).
On my faster PCs with core i7 CPUs gnome-terminal and such (the ones based on vte) work acceptably fast, but can show some laginess with big blobs of text and scrolling through large man-pages and such. Sadly I was forced to use gnome-terminal due to text rendering glitches with xterm under Gnome with all the 3d compositing stuff.
But anyway.. it should be possible to get your fonts to look equally nice in xterm. You'll need to configure it through X resources. My old .Xresources for xterm looked something like: http://bpaste.net/show/S0fa5zTWB51tl7iMtg8x/ (some of these are not relevant for text-rendering but I'm too lazy to figure out which)
Those config values you pasted worked perfectly, xterm now seems to render the fonts to within the same quality as gnome-terminal and lxterminal, in fact maybe even slightly better. I'll update my post to reflect, thanks a bunch man!!
[–]DM5EliteToast 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I'm using lxterminal and it works perfectly
[–]sleepycal[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Oh man, we have a winner! Font renders nearly exactly the same as gnome-terminal, and zero lag. The default color scheme is a little sucky, but nothing a few tweaks won't fix. Thanks man!!
[–]galaktos 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
fbcon, aka tty: no issues (although it doesn't have much scrolling history)
fbcon + tmux: no issues, regardless of scrolling mode (Shift+PageUp or Ctrl+B [)
Ctrl+B [
fbterm: no issues, in fact dizzingly fast scrolling (hardware acceleration)
fbterm + tmux: like fbcon + tmux (sadly, no fast scrolling)
[–]mynamewastakenagain 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
No issues for me in putty and tmux.
[–]bitwize 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Did you try xterm -fa <fontname> to make it use FreeType to draw the fonts?
Yes, I tried several different combinations to try and make it work. Every example I've seen so far in xterm just doesn't smooth as nicely as the others. But it is the fastest, so perhaps it is something to do with the AA..
[–]aperture_synce 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Could be to do with anti-aliased text
Seriously, they are all instantanious on my system!
It's not the terminal emulator that is the problem.
Maybe graphics card?

I popped open the semi-official Chrome SSH client as sort-of a joke, but ... it renders it better than anything else I've tried. Its perfect. Putty also works very well.
Is there something different about the way SSH clients render text versus dedicated terminals?
Lol that's quite amusing
[–]adelle 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago
For real. There needs to be a Linux port of putty. I rdesktop into my Windows box just so I can putty back into my Linux box.
[–]hufman 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago
The Putty source code is available on the download page to compile on Unix, and I can see that Debian has prebuilt packages. I can't say how the font rendering compares to the Windows version though.
I can't believe I missed that.
[–]wadcann 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago
...why? I was never a rabid fan of putty; at least in the past, it's had redraw bugs, and pscp is substantially-slower than openssh's scp.
It's the superficial things: Simple key combination to take it in & out of full screen mode; full screen mode that is actually full screen; supports the extended charset that ncurses apps use to render panel borders.
Full screen isn't working for me on linux, but I'm using an old version.
Hmm. I think that I agree with your wants, but I've been getting those with urxvt without problems, and there should be a number of other terminals that should also fit your wants.
Simple key combination to take it in & out of full screen mode;
Normally, I'd think that this is a window manager feature; I have Super-Enter bound to toggle maximize on Windows, so it applies to all programs running. I haven't used GNOME or KDE in years, but I would assume that their window managers can still do that; they certainly used to be able to do so.
full screen mode that is actually full screen
I use urxvt, and don't have a scrollbar or menubar visible even in windowed mode: the window that I see is normally just a black rectangle with text in it. I don't normally maximize to fullscreen, though...I normally just vertically-maximize, since I use a really small font size and otherwise it'd be impossible to follow text.
supports the extended charset that ncurses apps use to render panel borders.
Well, this is really a function of the font you have it set to use and the remote program knowing what TERM is. I don't think I've seen a virtual terminal program that can't do this.
I have:
rxvt*font: -*-terminus-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
in my ~/.Xresources
Smooth-ish scrolling, no lag, however fonts do not render as nicely as xterm.
Could you clarify?
[–]jackoman03 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Did you try guake?
[–]zomboc0m 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
guake runs fine, but lags a little more than lxterminal / gnome-terminal for me.
[–]AeroNotix -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
every few months a new terminal seems to pop up and they all are just as bad.
So write one yourself?
It would be a really interesting learning experience - but sadly my C/C++ is not so great, and if it was an easy problem to solve then someone would have solved it by now, probably not the best task for a beginner in C :) (myself - 8 years python)

Video footage of MOTION DEVICE, the Ontario, Canada-based band fronted by 10-year-old female singer Sara Menoudakis, performing a cover version of BLACK SABBATH's "War Pigs" can be seen below.
In addition to Sara, MOTION DEVICE features her 13-year-old brother David, 15-year-old sister Andrea, 18-year-old cousin Josh and 18-year-old family friend Alex. MOTION DEVICE recently made its radio debut on "The Kim Mitchell Show" on Toronto's classic rock station Q107. They also performed on national TV on CTV's "Canada AM" and played the halftime show in front of 20,000 for the Toronto Argonauts at The Rogers Centre. The Menoudakis kids got their passion for rock from their father John Menoudakis, who has co-written their handful of original songs. He also functions as MOTION DEVICE's manager. "Rock and roll is in their blood," John told TheStar.com in August. "Sara definitely doesn't have a dainty voice," he laughed. "She does realize that if she is going to continue with music she needs to, number one, be unique." Since MOTION DEVICE launched a Twitter account earlier in the year, John has posted nearly 28,000 tweets and has reached out to such legendary rockers as AEROSMITH's Steven Tyler and Alice Cooper. Cooper tweeted a response to MOTION DEVICE's cover of "School's Out" saying, "The singer is a 10-year-old girl, but this band has more bite than most."Video: BLACK SABBATH's War Pigs' Covered By 10-Year-Old Girl

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
B.C.'s 'boring, balanced' budget includes two-tiered LNG tax plan
VICTORIA - British Columbia's Liberal government tabled a balanced budget Tuesday, delivering a fiscal blueprint that forecasts three years of surpluses and introduces plans to levy a two-tiered income tax on a liquefied natural gas industry still years away from production.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong said his "boring, balanced" budget is the second consecutive surplus for his government — a result of their commitment to controlling spending and adhering to the hard-work values of British Columbians who re-elected the Liberals last May despite a widespread expectation they were heading for defeat at the hands of the Opposition New Democrats.
The government will end the current fiscal year with a surplus of $175 million. The Liberal fiscal plan forecasts a surplus of $184 million in 2014-2015, a surplus of $206 million in 2015-2016 and a surplus of $451 2016-2017, he said.
"It may not be glitzy or chock full of goodies, but it is the right plan for British Columbia," he said.
The surplus "doesn't mean it's all clear sailing. In fact, to continue meeting our targets, we will have to rely on more of that old-fashioned discipline that got us here in the first place."
B.C. and Saskatchewan are the only provinces to post balanced budgets this year. Last week Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tabled a deficit budget, saying the Tories will balance the books in 2015, an election year.
De Jong's budget paid a great deal of attention to the LNG industry. Though prospective plants are at least three years away from operating, he said any conversation about the future of B.C. must take into account the huge potential represented by LNG.
Premier Christy Clark has said LNG generate economic benefits of up to a trillion dollars and create 100,000 jobs. De Jong said one single LNG plant could generate up to $1.4 billion in taxes after 10 years in production.
"I expect the skeptics are going to find it harder and harder over the coming years to deny that this is happening," de Jong said.
Opposition New Democrat finance critic Mike Farnworth said the government's LNG plan was short on detail and at least a year behind schedule. He said the Liberals promised to roll-out an LNG tax structure last year, but it now appears to be "next year, next year, next year."
"It's a pipe dream," said Farnworth.
And he said Liberal election campaign promises to use LNG revenues to pay off the province's debt in 15 years don't add up. The provincial debt is currently at $60 billion, but is forecast to rise to almost $70 billion over the next three years.
Farnworth said even if LNG plants start operating within the next three or four years, the government would have to contribute $6 billion a year to pay down the debt in that time.
"When you look at the budget, it's a disgrace," he said.
One of the few spending items in the budget is $29 million to support development of B.C.'s liquefied natural gas industry. The budget also provides $9 million to support environmental assessments for LNG, pipelines and other major resource development.
The proposed LNG Income Tax will be introduced as legislation in the fall.
The first tier of the tax will be 1.5 per cent to be introduced at the start of production. The second tier, when introduced, could rise to seven per cent once the plant is running and capital costs have been deducted.
But de Jong acknowledged that no LNG revenues are in the three-year plan and tax dollars won't flow until plants are in production.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers was lukewarm towards the tax regime. B.C. spokesman Geoff Morrison said the plan provides a framework but more work needs to be done on the rates.
"I expect downward pressure on the rates," he said. "It's not just about the tax policy, it's about the all-in cost structure."
Morrison would not speculate on a tax-rate number that would satisfy industry.
Iglika Ivanova, of the Centre for Policy Alternatives, said the Liberals have placed too much emphasis on balancing the budget.
"The focus of the budget is to obviously reduce the fiscal deficit to say it's balanced fiscally, but there's other deficits that are not being addressed like social, economic, environmental, jobs and skills training," she said.
The budget forecasts B.C.'s economy to grow by two per cent in 2014 and 2.3 per cent in 2015. The debt is forecast to rise to $69 billion by 2016-2017, up from $61.6 billion this year.
Despite the rising debt number, de Jong said B.C. is better off than most other provinces. He said Ontario, for example, pays 9.3 cents of every dollar of revenue on interest — double what B.C. pays.
"Balancing the budget wasn't easy, but we've proven it can be done. Paying down the our debt won't be easy, but it, too, can be done."

Americans Have Less Access to Justice than Botswanans … And Are More Abused By Police than Kazakhstanis
- advertisements -
You used the 2011 report, why not the 2012 report that is now available?
I looked for 2012, and the link I tried didn't work. Is it up now?
My Ex.'s door was kicked in by the local Police after they knocked and waited 30 seconds.
She was on her way down the stairs to open it (late at night) when they kicked it in.
No warrant, no replacement costs for the door or locks, and of course no apology.
Could it be because we have the lion's share of the world's laywers? Nah, it couldn't be that...no lawyer would ever want to gum up the workings of justice just to ensure larger paychecks for lawyers...
Um, so if more rich people are sueing more often than poor is that a sign of that the poor have less access to legal action, or a sign they have less need for legal action?
Um, so if more rich people are utilizing the services of $1000 a night hookers, is that a sign that the poor have less access to rimjobs or a sign that they have less of a need for rimjobs?
With money you can afford lawyers. With lawyers you can drag out a case forever, appeal forever and hunt down every court case out there to see if it can be twisted to meet your needs. Sure, if you win you'll be getting your legal fees paid for, but until that point is reached it's all on you. Meanwhile the side that doesn't care can and will do everything they can to destroy your life if you continue to try and persue it.
Then if you are actually about to maybe win, they'll come to your saint of a lawyer and flat out tell them they will drag it out for a decade and the end result will be a small settlement with no admission of fault. The end. Oh, and it will be confidential and any mention of the settlement will void it and then they get to sue you and claim damages and you just might as well hang yourself.
You obviously haven't laid down 60 kilobux for an attorney to help you retrieve what was rightfully yours.
Hey GW...Why don't you look up Marc Stevens..He will tell you how the judicial system works and how to beat it...His legal theory is interesting..
I wonder how many countries elected illegal aliens to public office (LA County Assessor John Noguez, not Obama) or let illegal aliens vote?
None sans US
I'm more than willing to give an 'illegal alien' a shot at governing. Especially as I watch the slow motion cluster fuck that's energized by the 'legal aliens' currently governing this former 'bulwark of freedom'.
Most of us over a typical day are recorded on much over a dozen security cameras at building entrances, banks, shopping malls, convienience stores, traffic cameras, etc. This blog and most internet traffice is copied and archived in a western US federal facility. Can not fight it, it is technology. All government branches are gaining more sweeping powers, and getting bigger. Big government creates problems that needs an even bigger government to fix that cause ever more problems. It is a feedback loop whose purpose is to suck up all of the economy that it can into the centrally controlled government sector. Ever growing, without restraint, until it runs on borrowed emptiness.
The statements are ridiculous. It's typical from this writer. A lot of wild claims with nothing to back them up. Worst writer on ZH.
Your fleas have infiltrated your cranial cavity. Go ahead and scratch.
and you are the biggest dumbass -once again GW is right on.
One word for you: Vagisil.
Wait , USSA enforces Human Rights, yeap, forget about in their own backyard. WTF, Amerika is a clusterfuck now and for years to come. Unleash the fucking drones to decide.
I bet it involves bombs/covert operations/spies... some combination of the three.
Golly gee, I wonder why the hate us so much? It must be our "freedoms" that we don't have.
Yeah, about that report...
Living in one of the the top-10 (overall) ranked countries and working on a law degree for a couple years now, I'm not sure whose ass they pulled out their numbers. When I first read about it in the local news, my spontaneous reaction was laughing so hard, I nearly choked.
Rule of law has become nothing but a sad joke, no matter where you look. In the US, in Europe... The rest of the world, where it never was anything but a joke. The more you know about it, the worse you think the state of affairs is. And it's just getting worse every single day. Hey, it's just like economics!
And if you happen to know quite a bit about economics and law... it's only a matter of time before you seriously start to think about going Galt.
Rule of law... conveniently always someone else's laws, who live far far away.
re: the first chart, my first thought is- those countries (govt) nearer the left seem more honest... those countries (govt) nearer the right are less honest... I'm moving to the right....
it's only a matter of time before you seriously start to think about going Galt.
It's PAST time to consider going Galt.
At least the 2012 NDAA might be challenged on various constitutional grounds, according to a strict scrutiny litmus test, assuming a not-yet-killed-by-hellfire-missile-fired-from-a-drone American Citizen on American terra firma who has been designated as an enemy combatant without one iota of judicial due process can successfully defeat the affirmative defense that his/her petition is not yet judicially "ripe" since they haven't been terminated as of yet (even though the fact they have been so designated for termination is highly classified, so they couldn't possibly suspect this until the hellfire strikes their person, rendering them dead instantaneously, and they won't therefore have ample time to surmise any of this nor petition the courts for redress).
I'm not so much worried about the NDAA in my generation... but decades from now? It's always incrementalism. You introduce a concept to a generation to test it out, and then the next generation is when you really get 'er done.
But but...That is the price of Freedom
Freedom? Like in "Freedom Fries"?
Sir, you might confuse ,murder lies and theft,with freedom,wont work,remember, Obommer got this price,Killer in Romance to learn others about freedom,sadly he dont know whats its about!
The Eumerican meening of the word freedom,meens enslavement to everyone else,so one womans/mans freedom,meens another womans /mans enslavement?This is not 50 BC,we live in 2012 BC,if your a beliver,to me we just live,in what ever year this planet was created at,but still bangs the chest?Arabspring?Try this one:Euromed=HomoTechnoEurectorato, Barcelona 1995,rejoyced by E,Barak and Y,Arrafat,Gaddafi got on later but got Sticked.
Now we are about fraud,Quriosity,Nasa stunt took a selfportrait,even of the camera?Who took the picture,ill call that speed,upgraded to Meth!
If ,YOU belive,they put a man on the Moon!
Beside, freedom dont have a price,since we all are born free!
Dear sir,
America has trademarked the term "FREEDOM" ... your continued use of our trademarked term without recognition of our ownership constitutes trademark infringement.
In the future, please recognize our trademark ownership thusly:
Freedom TM
Wouldn't Freedom be a SM???
True, but the term "trademark" is the umbrella term which includes both tm and sm ... and also
Freedom Fries! TM
I'm all about sweet potato fries, regular fries, french fries, Freedom fries - they all sound good to me. Maybe with some beer.
Yeah, but I kinda like acknowleding the S&M inherent in our New & Improved FreedomSM.
If you truly believe Americans are more oppressed than Kazakhs then you are a fool. Probably a no-passport, never left the USA kind of cretin. Junk away assholes.
What's this bbc, buttfucking boys' corpses?
You have obviously never left the U.S. if you do not realize that travel to and from the U.S. is more difficult than any country in the world with the exceptions of North Korea and Cuba. In fact, transportation security guards have apologized to me for searching me on flights to the U.S., explaining that they do not wish to do this but the U.S. TSA requires that such searches be conducted. Needless to say, I have never had a TSA agent apologize for anything. At the same time, I have been harassed more by American police on the roadways than by police in any other country (and Latin American police specialize in harassing motorists on the roadways).
I have passports that are covered with stamps end-to-end, and I can tell you that the US government is arrogant beyond measure. The one thing they excel at is making their serfs believe that they have anything resembling freedom.
The Kazakhs see reality FAR more clearly than my fellow gringos.
Jefferson would disown the lot of them.
They survive by reminding us of a tradition they have no intention of upholding.
Dear brain surgeon,
Usually traveling makes people MORE realistic about how other cultures compare, not LESS ...
So people who have traveled alot should be less prone to falling for the jingoism of any particular country, and should focus on how people are actually TREATED ... they might also actually READ results from non-partisan surveys, instead of listening to what Dear Leader TELLS them ...

There is much to consider when looking at brand new housing developments. There are so many upsides - gorgeous, brand new homes with all the bells and whistles. And then there are the downsides that you might not be aware of. Take a peek at my "Seven Landmines" before you buy into that new development.
1. Empty Lots = Empty Promises
Yes, there are great deals out there right now, but today's market has brought forward a whole new list of caveat emptors, or "buyer-bewares." Brand-new homes in huge developments outside of downtown Las Vegas have sold at fire-sale prices.
There are lots of buildings and developments out there that have sat half empty. Many tract developments of homes remain half completed. Be warned, even though you may be getting a great deal you may be buying into a development or community that may never be fully completed-or that may take too long to come back to life. You'll be stuck with an unsellable house in the middle of an unfinished
Yes, the developers will promise to finish the development and say that all the lots are sold, but judging from their track record I use the phrase "empty lots = empty promises" as an adage to house shop by.
2. You Are Not Just Buying a House-You're Buying a Developer
Big new developments and newly-constructed gated communities can fail before they are completed and leave you holding a devalued home. For example, if you buy a new home that's not done yet, or hasn't even been started, you are also buying a developer. What if he runs out of money before he's done? This is why it's important to do your homework on any developer when you are considering a purchase. Better to go with well-known companies that have a history of successful developments than to say yes to a newbie who won't let you see his financials. Check with current homeowners in the development and see if their homes have retained their value and if they have any serious complaints.
3. Don't Be Fooled by Models-Know Their Tricks of the Trade!
When buying new construction generally you don't ever get to see your actual home or unit. You see a model or prototype that is similar in floor plan to the home or apartment you are purchasing. Those model homes are always decorated and dressed to look magnificent and perfectly showcase that fabulous lifestyle you will instantly have the moment you purchase this home. However, buyer beware! There are lots of tricks to the trade when it comes to dressing model homes.
The developers and designers employ all kinds of techniques to make the model appear bigger than it actually is. Oftentimes they are furnished and staged with slightly smaller-scale furnishings to make the rooms look bigger. Bedrooms generally have double-sized mattresses rather than traditional queens or kings.
So just as in real life, the same holds true for house shopping . . . don't be distracted by model looks.
4. Extras and Upgrades
What's extra? Find out exactly which upgrades are―and are not―included in the price you are being quoted. Wow, this place is a steal: it's only $300,000 for a four-bedroom house just outside of Philadelphia. What you didn't think to ask was if the finished basement and the gourmet kitchen package are included.
5. When's It Going to Be Finished?
What is the date of completion of the building? Does it coincide with your needs? And is there a cancellation clause or a refund of deposit clause if the builder does not complete the house, building, or development by a specified promise date?
6. The Multiple Phases of Buying in a New Development
Looking at the new homes in phase 2 of a development? Go back to phase 1. If you are buying in a community that is a phase 2 or higher, then hit up some neighbors in phase 1. How was this developer to deal with? Any suggestions? Advice?
Are you looking at an existing subdivision or tract home community where building is still taking place? Is the developer already working on the next phase? Here's some special advice:
- If you are looking at an existing home in phase 1, head over to phase 2 and check out the competition. You might be able to get a better deal from the seller if the market has softened and phase 2 is selling for less than the existing house in phase 1.
- If you are looking for new construction and you are previewing homes in phase 2, you may want to head back over to the phase 1 homes and see if there are any bargains on the market. In addition, the phase 1 neighborhood is already established, with grown-in landscaping and completed, lovely homes. You might just prefer that to a new phase surrounded by bulldozers, infant trees, and blowing dust.
Choosing the lot or picking the best spot? Can you see the neighborhood completed in your mind's eye? Buyer mistake: not investigating all surrounding properties and their development plans. What will they/could they be building next store or behind? Will it block your now clear view? Don't forget to take into consideration what the traffic patterns will be upon completion.
Learn from my experience - I've driven into many developments in which only twenty of the forty lots have houses already built. The other twenty lots are giant plots of dirt that kick up sand and dust the moment the wind picks up. This is not your ideal neighborhood. And though it may seem like a very good deal to you now, it will become very difficult to resell the house sitting next to twenty empty lots in a half-finished community. Follow my advice when eyeing a new community and do your due dilligence. It may save you tons of money down the road and you just might end up in your dream home!
