On the Web - Toward an Open-Source Government
Many people in the Open Source community have long believed that open-source software and the government are a good match. As any state-level politician can verify, US state governments are faced with the worst budget conditions in at least 50 years. In addition to having to gut and cut programs and services possibly needed by more people than ever, many schools and state-funded universities are expected to provide more technology for more students with the same or less money. In light of these conditions, some proponents of open source believe now is a perfect opportunity for states to save money by moving legacy systems to and creating new systems that run on open-source software. It's no longer a maybe, someday thing, if it's a small and adventuresome state agency.
Getting governments to make these switches, however, is where logic and progress can hit a wall of regulation, procedure and red tape. State and local governments seem to be the best place to start the move for change, so if we're going to give it a shot, we better know what the current procedures are. To that end, Tom Adelstein has been writing a weekly series for the Linux Journal Web site that covers the current state of open-source in government. "Linux Access in State and Local Government, Part I", /article/6927, reviews specific states' endeavors to legislate consideration of open-source software and details some of the detours these endeavors encounter. In Parts II and III, /article/6952 and /article/6970, Tom covers particular state agencies in Texas and Oregon and explains where they were successful in using open source and where they were not. Finally, in Part IV, /article/6990, Tom walks us through the process of getting IT legislation through state government.
In a similar vein, Joe Barr's article, "Austin, Texas to Begin Linux Pilot Project", /article/6974, describes how the IT department for the city of Austin is launching a city-wide program to use Linux desktops, servers and thin clients. The city's new CIO is "especially interested in seeing what sort of performance and savings he can get out of running office applications on a server with terminals as the desktop". If cities and states can get out from under some of the proprietary licensing fees and TCO, perhaps more money will be available for all those national defense and antiterrorism programs that states are supposed to enact without extra national funding.
Moving on to something a little lighter, here's your project for the month. Use Jeffrey Taylor's "Peering Over the Firewall" how-to (/article/6985), Snort, a custom cable and an Ethernet hub to build your own low-cost intrusion detection system. By the end of the project, the Linux box will be the firewall and router in your home network, and you'll still be able to peer around the router and see all incoming packets.
If you have an open-source-in-government story or a do-it-yourself project you'd like to share, send your proposal to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to check the Linux Journal Web site often; new articles are added daily.

Re: Toward an Open-Source Government
The articles listed concerning cities and agencies in Texas that are looking into using Linux were quite informative. I did not know about Linux activities in Houston or Austin, but I did know about the state's plans and Texas SB 1579 courtesy of a nice email from the CompTIA folks.
CompTIA wants all of it's members to lobby the Texas state government to shutdown Texas SB 1579 claiming that bill "could substantially hurt software developers and resellers in the state" claiming the bill would mandate a preference for OSS over proprietary software. The quoted section is accurate and directly from the CompTIA email.
I think that CompTIA's claims of preference are overstated. The actual SB 1579 text states (paraphrased here) that OSS shall be considered in addition to proprietary software. Also, when proprietary software is purchased, a justification must be provided. Sec.2054.114(a)(3)(b)(1-5). Additionally the bill defines the concept of "best value for purchases" in an amendment to Sec.2157.003. No where in the text of the bill is "preference" given to OSS or proprietary software.
As for myself, I think all government agencies should have the freedom to choose whatever solution works best for their situation while remaining conscious of the cost to the taxpayer because that's just "simple common sense" and good business management practice. If the desired solution is more costly than the "low cost" solution, then I agree with the requirement for justification prior to purchase.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Title: | 8q24 sequence variants in relation to prostate cancer risk among men of African descent: A case-control study |
Author(s): | Benford, Marnita L.; VanCleave, Tiva T.; Lavender, Nicole A.; Kittles, Rick A.; Kidd, LaCreis R. |
Subject(s): |
chromosome 8Q24
prostate cancer |
Abstract: | Background: Human chromosome 8q24 has been implicated in prostate tumorigenesis. Methods: Consequently, we evaluated seven 8q24 sequence variants relative to prostate cancer (PCA) in a case-control study involving men of African descent. Genetic alterations were detected in germ-line DNA from 195 incident PCA cases and 531 controls using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Inheritance of the 8q24 rs16901979 T allele corresponded to a 2.5-fold increase in the risk of developing PCA for our test group. These findings were validated using multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) and permutation testing (p = 0.038). The remaining 8q24 targets were not significantly related to PCA outcomes. Conclusions: Although compelling evidence suggests that the 8q24 rs16901979 locus may serve as an effective PCA predictor, our findings require additional evaluation in larger studies. |

A Three-Man Race?
Around the All-Star break, the talk around baseball was Dontrelle Willis, and deservingly so. He was having a great rookie season for the Florida Marlins and was creating excitement even in South Florida. At the time, I commented that if Willis needed to be an All-Star, then Arizona's Brandon Webb definitely should have been too. Webb's numbers were all the equivalent of Willis's, yet he didn't generate much discussion.
Well, within the past month, Brandon Webb's notoriety has certainly risen. He has continued to dominate National League hitters. People seem to acknowledge that he probably will lose out to Willis because he's not as popular or charismatic. But, the fact that he is finally being noticed nationally is good to see.
There is a third National League pitcher who is doing quite well for his team with surprisingly little fanfare. No, he shouldn't rank alongside the top two rookies, Webb and Willis, but Atlanta's Horacio Ramirez is performing well enough to warrant discussion. Let's take a look at these three rookie pitchers, by some varying numbers.

· Horacio Ramirez started the season as the Braves #5 starter and has managed to stay in the rotation and been a fairly consistent starter all season.
· Brandon Webb was given a chance to start with the injury to Randy Johnson early in the season and has not looked back. He did spend two weeks on the disabled list with some arm tendonitis.
· Dontrelle Willis didn't make his debut until May, but has been incredible ever since then! The Oakland native is the youngest pitcher on this list, having been recalled directly from AA.

Traditional baseball statistics for grading pitchers show a couple of things:
· Willis has not only allowed few runs, but has been able to get enough run-support to rack up that impressive record.
· Webb has been just as frugal in terms of giving up runs, but because the Diamondbacks do not score many runs, his record is not at all indicative of how well he's pitched. His 2.45 ERA ranks third in the National League.
· Ramirez is a case of a guy whose 8-4 record can directly be linked to the Braves incredible run-support. Although his 4.11 ERA is very solid, especially for a rookie, it is more than a run and a half more per nine innings more than the other two.

0.261 |
3.88 |
5.26 |
1.4 |
These are the non-everyday numbers that show a few of the reasons why Horacio Ramirez is a few steps behind Dontrelle Willis and Brandon Webb. They also show just how similar Willis' and Webb's numbers are!
Webb's 1.10 Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched ranks second in the National League. His .213 opponent average ranks 4th in the American League.
But, how important are these numbers? In my opinion, they are important to an extent. Willis' and Webb's numbers show that they can be more dominant-type pitchers. But, having watched Ramirez pitch a number of games on TV, he's more in the mold of former Braves pitchers Tom Glavine or Damion Moss, maybe even Seattle's Jamie Moyer. Ramirez doesn't throw very hard, so like those other pitchers, he has to rely more on control and movement. That does make his walk numbers a little bit alarming, but that type of pitcher is prone to give up more hits.
To summarize, I'm certainly not putting Ramirez in the same class of starting pitcher as Dontrelle Willis and Brandon Webb. But that doesn't take away the fact that he is having a very solid year for the team with the best record in major league baseball, and deserves a little recognition. He has provided them with a solid, consistent starting pitcher every 5th day. He has been as good or better than some of the veterans in the Braves rotation, including Mike Hampton and Shane Reynolds, and at times, future Hall of Famer, Greg Maddux.
Speaking of Greg Maddux, he got off to a really horrid start this season. Coming into the year, he had a streak of 15 consecutive seasons with 15 or more wins. That streak was expected to come to an end, but have you checked out his numbers lately? As of right now, he is 11-8 with a 4.24 ERA. The Braves have 45 games remaining, so Maddux has probably 9 starts left in the season to get 4 more wins. He also has 284 career wins now, so assuming standard Maddux production, it is very much possible that he will notch his 300th career victory next season. However, rumor has it that he will become a San Diego Padres pitcher next season via free agency and that could hurt the chances of reaching the 300-win milestone. Maddux is just 37 years old, so if he's able to pitch to 41 or 41, he could end with a very impressive win total!
A couple of other Brave notes -
Last night, shortstop Rafael Furcal turned an unassisted triple play, just the 11th in major league history. Horacio Ramirez was pitching. St. Louis catcher, Mike Matheny was on 2B, and Cardinal OF Orlando Palmiero was on 1B. Pitcher Woody Williams was hitting. Jon Miller mentioned that Woody Williams is actually a very good hitting pitcher. A lot of people may argue with the fact that the Cardinals Tony Larussa ran a hit-and-run at that time, but I must admit, I was thinking the exact same thing. Woody Williams hit a line-drive, and Rafael Furcal jumped straight up, probably 30 inches, to make the grab. He then stepped on second, before tagging out Palmiero for the third out. Now, all that was impressive, but did anyone notice how high Ramirez jumped on the mound when Furcal made that catch? He must have been 20 inches up too! And, he did some sort of scissors-kick too that was quite interesting!
Second note, Ramirez pitched great, and until giving up a solo home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th to Eduardo Perez. Then manager Bobby Cox went to John Smoltz to face Albert Pujols. After Smoltz got ahead 0-1 with a hard slider, he came back with a 96 mph fastball, right down the middle. To Albert Pujols? Why!?!?!?!? About 852 feet later (Note - approximation, perhaps slight hyperbole), Pujols home run ball landed.
The Twins did exactly what they needed to do this weekend. They got a three game sweep of the lowly Detroit Tigers. It wasn't as easy as fans may like, but the key is they got the wins. 4-3 Friday night. 8-4 in 10 innings on Saturday night. And, 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.
Eddie Guardado got two more saves to bring his season total to 27. On the Dickie Thon Fan Forum site, I've let my thoughts on Guardado be known:
"Eddie is so not good!!!
I think he's a perfect example of why stats (of closers) can be deceiving!! He's just not good!!
Bring up Crain and let him throw some gas!!!
Eddie gets shelled pretty much every (or every other) outing. Sometimes he just gets lucky and they hit it at someone, or Torii makes a game-saving catch
I just don't see him as being at all trustworthy!!
And, you can tell me he's got X saves in X+2 or 3 attempts, and I'll just probably roll my eyes.
He'll sure get a save when he comes in with a 3 run lead and no one on!!!"Somehow, the responses to that message seemed to be anti-Hawkins comments, which I really don't understand, so I had to reply to those saying:
I just wanna clarify!! I said they should go with Crain, not Hawkins!
Although Hawkins was horrid as a closer (for the Twins), it is amazing to me how tough it is for Twins fans to admit that Hawkins is no longer the same pitcher he was 2 years ago. His problem then was baserunners, primarily due to walks! He doesn't walk many any more. SO, although I agree that the fans of Minnesota would revolt if Hawkins was ever the closer again, I can see him going elsewhere (for more money than the Twins SHOULD pay him) and being successful.As I write, it's hard for me to comprehend the backlash against LaTroy Hawkins by Twins fans. He has not struggled for the past two seasons. He's proving that isn't a fluke. I wrote, about two months ago, about what has turned around the career of LaTroy , and the numbers are phenomenal. I'm not going to re-run the numbers to update them for the last two months at this time, but they are no worse! I think Hawkins deserves a lot of credit for the way he has improved his control, added new pitches and really become a dominant middle reliever.
Last Monday, I wrote that the Twins needed to concentrate on winning two of every three game series. This past week, against Baltimore, they won two of the first three against the Orioles, but then lost the fourth game to split the series. Well, The Twins made up that game with the three game Tigers sweep!
So, here's where the American League Central stands going into Monday's games:
Kansas City |
62 |
54 |
-- |
Chicago |
62 |
55 |
0.5 |
Minnesota |
60 |
57 |
2.5 |
So, putting back into theory my thought that the Twins need to win 2 out of 3 for the rest of the year, the Twins would finish go 30-15 (.667) in their remaining 45 games. That would leave them with a record of 90-72.
If the Twins do that (finish 90-72), we would, of course, want the Royals and White Sox to finish no better than 89-73. So, here's how they would have to do for the rest of their seasons to have that record. The Royals could go 27-17 (.613), and the White Sox could go 27-16 (.628).
Check out today's Twins Geek column and see why the Twins have to still be the favorites to win the division. We all have seen that they have the easiest remaining schedule in the whole American League, but John does a great job of explaining why.
I have no problem with defining bench player's roles. I have no problem with Dustan Mohr being the 4th outfielder and starting a couple times a week, spelling the right fielder, and maybe Jacque Jones against the occasional lefty, and some late-inning defense. I have no problem with Matthew Lecroy catching one, maybe two, games per week, and being the designated hitter another time each week. I have no problem with Todd Sears being a left-handed hitter off the bench. Sears has proven that he does have the ability to hit at the major league level. But, he has played just 3 times in the last 9 games (all pinch hitting). Again, I don't think he needs to play a lot, he's not Justin Morneau, but I do think that based on Doug Mientkiewicz's past wrist injuries, it is important to give him a day off every couple of weeks. Sears has shown that, although he's not Mienkiewicz-esque with the glove, he does a good job at first base. What concerns me is Ron Gardenhire's comments:
"I was actually going to try to get him a day off one of these days. Mientkiewicz just doesn't want to come out of the lineup. That is very commendable."
It is absolutely commendable, and Mientkiewicz is tough and gritty, but it is Gardenhire's job to keep his player's healthy too. I have no problem with certain players playing 162 games a year, but based again, on Mientkiewicz's previous wrist problems, a day off every couple of weeks could be beneficial.
Last week, I wrote about how improvement I think Luis Rivas has made this season. He had a great homestand. I should have mentioned that I thought that he might struggle on this week's road trip, and he did, going just 3-20 at the plate. Why would I have thought that? Take a look at his splits:

So, basically, he hits very well on the turf. The Metrodome has turf. He's hitting well at home, and not-at-all well on the road.
So, just one more Rivas split:

William singing God Save The Queen!
I do wonder in swimming why there isn't a 800m for men or a 1500m for women. Or 50m in the breaststroke, butterfly, or backstroke.
That would be perfect. I'm pretty meh about track.
I think there's a really good chance the men won't medal. I don't know much about the men though. I'm hoping that Louis Smith (?) will win the PH gold for Great Britain. It's the pommel horse though so god knows what's going to happen.
I'm nervous for Maroney. I'm afraid that she'll try to get a 10 E score for her Amanar and land on her ass. Plus I'm worried that all the talk of her being a lock will jinx her.
Roll Tide, y'all!
Wrestling starts tomorrow. It will be on MSNBC and on NBC Sports. This year the women join in too. I don't love watching wrestling but the wrestlers and the weightlifters have by far the most emotional reactions to winning.
I keep forgetting Lochte isnt younger than Phelps. Ive been too busy to go into the swim thread and hear other peeps opinions of his performance at tbis Games.
I'm kinda unspoiled tonite. Didnt know about that weird false start in the 1500.
btw how much of Ennis other events were shown at other times?
Wait, women wrestlers? Is Tonya coming?
It may have been a shorty of a jump, but British Ginger Jumper was foxy.

I try to warn as many ahead of time so they save a few pennies or a few bucks. Pass it on to others if you want!

"I tell you, Satan's gonna have no trouble taking over here 'cause all the women are gonna say: 'What a cute butt.' 'He's Satan!' 'You don't know him like I do.' 'He's the Prince of Darkness!' 'I can change him.'"
A form of Misaimed Fandom, when a fandom takes a controversial or downright villainous character and downplays his/her flaws, often turning him/her into an object of desire and/or a victim in the process. This can cause conflicts if the writers are not willing to retool the character to fit this demand.
In fanfiction, they are frequently the love object of the local Mary Sue, who uses the power of love to redeem the character. "I can fix him" is a commonly expressed sentiment among fans of Dracos in Leather Pants. In extreme cases, the affection these characters receive from fans can lead them to forget that they're actually still supposed to be villains. Or, on the flip side, even the worst crossings of the Moral Event Horizon can be rationalized, while any insult from the hero towards the villain is cast as deplorably mean. Bonus Points if the writer's attempt to make the villain more "sympathetic" causes them to remove everything that made the character so cool/well liked in the first place.
Common reasons for this include the character being wicked in a classy or cool way. A physically attractive villain is much more likely to be subject to this trope than a physically ugly one; Beauty Equals Goodness, after all, and shallow as it may be, it seems that, for some fans, this is the case even when the character's beauty only extends to their appearance. All Girls Want Bad Boys may be a factor with male villains getting a female fandom that views them through this lens.
Some villain archetypes, such as the Smug Snake (because of their off-puttingly arrogant personality), female villains (because it's mostly Fangirls who invoke this trope), and the Complete Monster (because of the severity of their evil deeds) are rarely susceptible to this. But it can still happen.
Jerkass Dissonance usually plays a part in this trope; it is much easier for people to forgive and overlook the negative qualities and stress the Freudian Excuses that form a sympathetic back-story for fictional characters than it is to do the same for people in real-life, because the actions of the fictional character have no real-world effect.
Expect also for fans to make excuses for the character not getting any comeuppance for their sins, and, for bonus points, gloat if one of their hated and/or villainized characters gets the short stick instead, especially if the latter is the victim of the former.
Could be considered a branch of Springtime for Hitler because the character was made to be disliked but ends up as an extremely popular character. Sometimes, the creator of the original series may say "Sure, why not?", resulting in Ascended Leather Pants. May or may not result in And the Fandom Rejoiced.
Named for a term in the Harry Potter fandom, for the mostly sympathetic Fan Fic portrayals of Draco Malfoy, who, in Canon, is a petty, smug, elitist, spoiled brat.

Cant find the "send" option when replying to an email!
Hi all, so i upgraded to a Bold 9900 from the Torch 9810, and i notice that when replying to an email, there is no send button/option anywhere! I checked my email settings and everything looks right. When I hit the center button, I only get a save draft. Where's the send?? Also noticed i am unable to send email - the send button is there when composing new email, but i get a red X after i hit send. Is this a bug?
Any help is appreciated. - 12-21-2011, 10:05 AM #2
Have you tried pulling your battery yet. If that doesn't work reload the OS.
Resend service books and register device in host routing table.
- 12-21-2011, 10:34 AM Thread Author #4
Thanks, how do I resend service books and host routing table?
Also, I noticed this morning a very awful thing - I charged the phone overnight (with the phone turned off, and it was set to auto-on at 6:45 am) and left it plugged in to the charger until around 10. When I took it off to write an email, I noticed the battery level was at around 30%! What in the world?!?! - 12-21-2011, 10:39 AM #5

I did battery pull and no change. Also, I can't find the 'send' in the menu. Seriously disappeared! I'm on 18.104.22.168 TMobile.

Alright, I did resend the serive books, register the host routing table AND did a battery pull after that. Still no send option. Do I now have to reinstall the OS? Which version should I install and from where? Sorry, BB newbie here.
Check default services.
Does a email address display in each drop down box?
So you are receiving email normally? At the exact moment that you try to send your reply, do you have a small BlackBerry logo at the top right of your homescreen, next to where it says 3G? The problem you are describing could be due to your phone not being "logged on" to the Blackberry BIS network when you are trying to send an email (even though your phone works ok for calls and texts) - I've had this issue before, with the BlackBerry service part of the network being intermittent, usually whilst roaming.

Hacking Cell Phones via Bluetooth Tools under Linux
name "BlueZ mycomputername";
Next, create a PIN for the computer to access the cell phone. Open the /etc/bluetooth/pin file, and add the following:
The actual PIN number can be anything you like, and it may not be included in a separate file, depending on your distribution. It may be part of your hcid.conf file and called a passkey instead of a PIN.
The reason for the PIN number is that Bluetooth devices need to be paired or tethered together. This is a standard Bluetooth security measure to prevent unwanted connections between devices. The first time you connect to your phone via Bluetooth, the phone notifies you that a connection is being attempted and prompts you for a PIN number. If the PIN number entered on the phone does not match the PIN in the configuration file, the connection will be rejected. Most cell phones will give you the option to connect devices automatically on subsequent connections or prompt for intervention.
Next, restart the Bluetooth server on the connecting computer:
root@host# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
Some cell phones have a "Find Me" mode that needs to be turned on when scanning. Take a look in your particular phone's Bluetooth connection menu. Now, you're ready to see if the Bluetooth dongle can see your cell phone or any other nearby devices with Bluetooth capability. So, type:
root@host# hcitool scan
which returns the following:
Scanning ... 00:0F:86:89:EC:3D Blackberry 7290 00:14:9A:C9:BB:62 Motorola Phone 00:16:CB:2A:7D:DB Mac_1
Each device name is listed with its MAC address.
Mac_1 is my USB Bluetooth dongle. Motorola Phone is the name I have designated in the phone's Bluetooth setup menus. BlackBerry 7290 is a nearby device that the my dongle is picking up as well.
Another useful command is sdptool search DUN. This provides detailed information for your device:
Inquiring ... Searching for DUN on 00:16:CB:2A:7D:DB ... Searching for DUN on 00:14:9A:C9:BB:62 ... Service Name: Dial-up networking Gateway Service Description: Dial-up networking Gateway Service Provider: Generic Cellphone Service Service RecHandle: 0x10001 Service Class ID List: "Dialup Networking" (0x1103) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 1 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 code_ISO639: 0x6672 encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0xd800 code_ISO639: 0x6573 encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0xd803 code_ISO639: 0x7074 encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0xd806 Profile Descriptor List: "Dialup Networking" (0x1103) Version: 0x0100
Now, you're ready to start pushing and pulling files to/from your cell phone. Let's investigate the available tools in both KDE and GNOME.
The KDE Bluetooth framework is built on the BlueZ stack and can utilize all the functionality of the command-line tools in an intuitive GUI interface. Originally, it was an add-on application, but because of the proliferation of Bluetooth devices, it has been merged into the baseline KDE desktop. The easiest way to access your data is through the Konqueror file manager. Once the Bluetooth dongle is plugged in to your computer, you should see the Bluetooth icon appear on the Kicker panel. Open Konqueror, and enter bluetooth:/// in the navigation toolbar.
You should see a listing of nearby devices that are Bluetooth-enabled (Figure 1). Click on your phone, and you should see a listing of available services (Figure 2). For pushing and pulling files, we're most concerned with OBEX File Transfer and OBEX Object Push. Selecting OBEX File Transfer shows the media file folders residing on your device (Figure 3). In my case, I have separate folders for audio, pictures and video clips. Clicking on any of the folders should reveal the files currently on your device. Now you simply can copy/move a file to your home folder on your computer by doing a copy and paste in Konqueror. The first time you do this, you'll be prompted for a PIN number on the cell phone. Subsequent file transfers will not require a PIN unless it has been specified in the cell phone's Bluetooth setup. If you want to copy files from your computer to your device, select OBEX Object Push.
The system displays a pop-up asking if you want to open the kbluetooth client. Select yes, and you should see your device list in the left-hand (device selector) column of the client (Figure 4). The top of the client application shows your system folders. The right-hand side of the screen contains a blank area that's titled Files to send. Simply go into one of your system folders and click the file you want to copy to your phone. Now, drag and drop it into the Files to send pane. Click the Send button. Your phone will alert you and ask if you want to accept the file transfer from your computer. Click yes, and the file transfer starts (Figure 5). Once the file transfer is complete, you should be able to find the file on your cell phone or PDA. It doesn't get any easier than that. Konqueror once again proves what a fantastic file manager it is.

My cell phone is able to stream audio to bluetooth devices. I was wondering if you knwe a way that I could connect the phone to the computer and then stream the music from my computer to the speakers using BlueZ

Nokia PC Suite Alternative
I was wondering if you know of a application that does everything that the Nokia PC Suite for Windows does? I've been trying to find something that will work properly when it comes to syncing, but no joy yet. Please let me know.
just something i wanted to
just something i wanted to ask you.....i use a ppp script to dial the connection. I couldn't figure how to configure wvdial for this thing. Does it have any performance gain/loss when compared to the wvdial method?
I am using Mandriva 2007 and had a terrible time getting the PIN number to work. I would enter the correct pin of the computer into the phone and it would reject it. Finally had to issue the command
#passkey-agent --default /usr/bin/bluez-pin
and then it successfully allowed me to pair the phone with the computer.
Same for me! I spent almost two hours debugging this... maybe it should be noted somewhere above!
lower level access?
Hi Patrick, great and timely article, as I've recently tried using Bluetooth to talk to my son's phone (unsuccessfully). Looking forward to trying your approach. I was hoping to access the phone at lower than just the file level though, as he deleted a bunch of pictures, and I wanted to try to recover them. So I was hoping to get access to the phone as a filesystem or disk device so I could dump the whole thing to a file for further processing. Ideally I'd just be able to do something like "dd if=/dev/phone of=/home/phonedisk" and be able to use my tools on the "phonedisk" file I created. Is something like that possible? I'll try it myself from home tonight, just thought I'd ask in advance. Thanks!
lower level access?
Have you checked out these?:
Hope they help.
re: lower level access
Thanks Pat. Looks like some useful info on those sites. I'll try putting everything together some night when I have the phone and computer together.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Taking a closer look at Gov. Snyder's State of the State address
Governor Snyder delivered his fourth State of the State address Thursday night. The Republican Governor called Michigan the "comeback" state and talked up the economy, saying Michigan has come a long way from the dark days of the Great Recession. Not surprisingly though, Democrats didn't quite agree - highlighting cuts to education spending and the state's Earned Income Tax Credit. Chad Livengood took a close look at Snyder's speech with us today.

When St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly contacted Caseyville about his credibility concerns with Police Chief J.D. Roth, the village's response was to put Roth on paid administrative leave.
While that's fine for Roth -- he gets an extended vacation at the taxpayers' expense -- this action does nothing to benefit the public or justice.
How does Roth ever effectively function in his job if he cannot, as Kelly requested, take part in investigations, handle evidence or access village records? Kelly wrote that the problems extend beyond ongoing investigations of Roth: "Regardless of the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, sufficient information has been presented thus far that raises serious questions about Mr. Roth's credibility as an officer at this time."
Kelly also pointed out that defense attorneys could bring up Roth's credibility issues in court: "Judges and juries would then view Mr. Roth's reports and testimony through the prism of this information with predictable, devastating results for any case."
And how does Roth effectively supervise officers in the department in the future after the officers brought forward some of the allegations that led to the investigations?
A chief without credibility is worthless to Caseyville. Putting him on paid leave is just an expensive way of postponing what the village ultimately will have to do: fire him.

On May 11, 2009, in a fit of social media experimentation, the message "I've yet to hire a writer who uses ellipses in an ad." echoed across the Twitterverse to approximately five followers. Three years later, the Twitter account @leeclowsbeard had grown to 27,000 followers with over 775 daily tweets served, including these:
A few months into LCB's existence, Rob Schwartz started following. Rob was (and is) the Chief Creative Officer at TBWA\Chiat\Day's L.A. office. Someone who worked with Lee Clow on a daily basis, and who obviously knew that LCB was not authored by Lee. Not wanting to open a can of cease-and-desist orders, I refrained from harassment for several months. When I finally inquired as to Lee's knowledge of LCB, Rob confirmed that he was aware of my existence, and that he approved of my hijinks. Eventually, they flew me out to L.A. for a day and lunch (and this photo) ensued:
It was during this lunch that the idea of a book emerged. Within hours after the lunch, Rob had designer Bill Hornstein busting out comps. Then the joy of book publishing really took hold. Tracking down and securing photo rights. Finding a publisher. And a printer. Fortunately, I did not have to do this work, and I am forever grateful to those who did.
At long last, an advance copy arrived at my door and, a few weeks later, the book offically launched at an event at the Chiat offices in L.A. Here are a few snaps of the book and interior spreads:
The book being the analog derivative of a digital source, we obviously decided on a digital derivative of the book in the form of an iOS app:
Naturally, TBWA\ authored a website based on their Projeqt presentation technology:
And Bill and I turned out some posters promoting the book and the app:
Response to the work was very positive, with articles on Mashable.com, FastCoCreate.com and NOTCOT.com among others. Additionally, revealing the truth of LCB's provenance did not hinder follower growth one bit. In fact, the account gained followers at a rate 500% the norm in the week following the launch.
Here's The Man himself recounting his own take on the LCB saga:
Finally, here's a live feed of @leeclowsbeard. It only moves once a day, so don't stare at it too long:
Make sure your point of difference isn't a point of disinterest.
Create work that's irresistible and you won't have worry about the media plan making it unavoidable.
The only way to avoid wasting your client's money is to create something that doesn't waste the public's time.

For those of you that have used seveneighter to update a Verizon Trophy, can you please tell me what language packs you used? I'm confused because there are two places to look at for languages: settings/keyboard/languages and settings/region+language/display language.
If it's the former, my phone has WAY more languages installed than seveneighter has available. So I'm wary of doing this until I know for sure which batch of languages I need.
Thanks for any advice... - 02-09-2013, 10:57 AM #77
I updated with SevenEighter 8 days ago. I selected all of the language packs because I too observed that there are more on my phone than what was listed. You should be pretty safe selecting them all and installing. You need to update it three times, but it worked like a charm. And 7.8 seems to be running just fine. The buttons on the home screen are just a little sticky.
I'm really enjoying it. I haven't had any other problems at all. It actually appears to have extended my battery life as well.
My 'WeatherLive' tile stopped updating last night. This may be an issue with 7.8 and all live tiles.
Now Windows Phone 7.8 Update brings stuck Live Tiles – is it better off being avoided? | WMPoweruser - 02-14-2013, 11:49 AM #90
My wife is having issues with her me tile showing notifications that aren't there, and since updating her facebook timeline will show the most recent items and then skip several hours worth of content and resume showing stuff that happened 18 hours ago.
I'm considering going back to 7.5, just don't know what is involved with that. - 02-26-2013, 03:26 PM #91
Ok, this may be a dumb question, but WHERE can you get SevenEighter app? It's not in the Market Place.
It isn't an official app. It's from the dev community. It's mentioned in this WPC article. New tool helps make installing the Windows Phone 7.8 update slightly easier | Windows Phone Central
The article gives a link to the actual download page... Want Windows Phone 7.8 now? Try this easy tool (Update: Now supports 7720) - Windows Phone Hacker
I used it on my Trophy and don't regret it one bit. It does take a while to go through all of the updates, so be patient. Also, I haven't seen the live tile issue people are talking about, but the only 3rd party tiles I use are Amazing Weather and Baconit.Thanked by: - 02-27-2013, 03:23 PM #93
Thanks! That's just what I was looking for!
2 more updates available 8860 and 8862 which fixes the update issue and fixes some of the lag seen earlier with 8858 and 8860.
..RameshThanked by: - 03-18-2013, 02:02 AM #96
Alright, I did the update last night to 8862, but I just wanted to give a warning to others who haven't updated yet - the 8862 update will remove the Google Calendar support. It will let you sync up your contacts and such, but not the Calendar. Facebook is intact, though. You can read more about it on the web, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this one.
via an Eclipsed Galaxy NexusThanked by: - 03-22-2013, 12:48 PM #97
Thanks for the heads up. Loss of integration with Google calendar is a deal breaker for me. I HAVE to have that. Guess I won't be going that route.
I just got a Trophy for the first time today. I really appreciate the tips on using SevenEighter to update it! I don't really use Google Calendar; the one on the phone works fine enough for me.
I was disappointed that I wasn't able to update to a WP8 device (my upgrade got used for somebody else in my family :-\ ), but was able to get this phone on eBay for cheap, and the apps that I have downloaded so far seem to work really nice! WAY better than my old Droid X :-D
