what make the hardware in cisco better than the motorola boxes?
»www.motorola.com/Video-Solutions···00_US-ENthe motorola's can do PIP per the above and most like need a firmware guide update.
Is this the reason why the new S25 guide takes a couple days to load the complete guide data when it is rebooted and the previous SARA guide loaded the guide data quickly when it was rebooted?
The main problem that I had with the S25 guide was that it would truncate recordings under certain conditions. See the Patch link in my signature for more information. Comcast had to stop development on adding features to the guide and instead send out a patch to fix this major issue and 2 minor issues. The patch fixed the truncated recordings issue and improved the other 2 minor issues. This has delayed future guide releases by at least a half a year and it could end up being even longer.--SA 8300 HD DVRs with Patched S25 GuideLinks:'S25 Guide Blog' 'Schedule' 'Info' 'Patch Thread'
I've got my own feelings about S25. I'm going to try and keep my mouth shut regarding my opinions on it's readiness and/or the way it was/is being handled.
hey miscDude, long time no talk.Do you know if Passport is handled the same way? With the SA Broadband Information Gateway (sometimes called the BIG QAM)?Good thought from SA when they designed it years ago and sending BFS data over a full 6 MHz channel that the box tunes to when it's idle, but I think the future solution really would be DOCSIS. All the Advanced set top boxes have internal DOCSIS modems. Cablevision already orders their SA/Cisco with the DOCSIS version instead of the BIG QAM/DAVIC OOB version. IE) the SA4250 vs the SA3250.But think of it this way... There's already 8 channels of DOCSIS in some areas because of DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding. Back in the day when you only had 1 DOCSIS channel maybe it wasn't smart to mix STB data with HSI data and rob customers of their service level agreements. These days I don't see any issue with using DSG (Docsis Set Top Gateway) with all the extra channels assigned to the CMTS. That's at least how Xfinity Spectrum works. I believe the Tivo on Moto experement that has come to an end also delivered the data via DOCSIS.
Pretty much any Guide designed to work on a Scientific Atlanta plant has traditionally used the in-band data carrier to send the guide information. Passport, Sara, and even TWC's guide (Mystro? NAvigator? I forget what they call it).As for using DOCSIS, I actually think most SA boxes have had cablemodems imbedded for years, they just haven't been taken advantage of. As for how DSG boxes will end up working (Tru2Way... it's still out there, even if consumer electronic Manufacturers have kind of dropped their support), I don't know. I'm not sure if they are going to support a "send on request" kind of model for guide data [honestly, will the boxes have enough power for that kind of intelligence?], or if they'll stick to the existing data stream method with just moving the OOB carrier to what would be almost like a VPN tunnel on the DOCSIS carriers. They'd still end up having the room to increase the thruput rate with the extra bandwidth available, and could even create separate tunnels for the different types of data to more efficiently utilize the resources available.the real question would then become what type of DOCSIS modems are in the devices? If they aren't DOCSIS3 modems, then they would still be limited to a single DOCSIS Downstream... so you'd either need to duplicate your tunnels across multiple downstreams, or make sure that all the STB's locked onto a single downstream frequency.

Interesting, ok thanks for the reply miscDude.What I like about DirecTV (and most guides on SA boxes that aren't i-Guide), is that the data stays intact on reboot. However on those devices there's a 5 to 10 minute boot time - unlike i-Guide (at least on Moto - I never used it on SA). I-Guide is ready for channel surfing right away and acquires data in the background.On my DirecTV if I reboot it, it goes through its bootup phase (self check, os load, check dish, acquiring data, rebuilding scheduler, then live TV). You end up staring at progress bars for 5 minutes or more while you wait for it to complete. However I have a full guide when it's back up (not to mention cool features like Pandora, YouTube, TVApps and an HD UI). Now if there's an issue with guide data causing a corruption, they have it programmed if you reboot it twice within a 30-minute time frame that it will flush the guide data and download it from scratch.A similar model could theoretically be applied to cable DVR's since they have a disk they could store data to. However I did hear that more advanced guides will use the internal DOCSIS modem for things like poster art, social media connections, TVApps, etc... Here's a post from last November from Mari Silbey on ZNF regarding (at least Rovi's total guide) the STB Modem in use: »www.zatznotfunny.com/2011-11/rov···set-top/
A new blog post on the Multichannel News site about this:Duopoly Demise: A World without Motorola or CiscoBy Gary Arlen, Multichannel News - March 5, 2012»www.multichannel.com/blog/As_I_W···isco.php
OK, well, here we go again. Now the New York Post has an article today on Google wanting to dump Motorola's STB business:Google looking to unload Motorola's TV set-top box businessNY Post - March 7, 2012»www.nypost.com/p/news/business/p···zKw8aAZK"This just in: The TV set-top box is on its deathbed.Google is looking to unload the set-top box business it will inherit from Motorola Mobility even before it closes on the $12.5 billion acquisition, The Post has learned.The move appears to be an about-face from last August, when Google CEO Larry Page, in announcing the deal, suggested the business would play a role in his plans for revolutionizing the living room.Google isnt the only player looking to get out of the business. As The Post reported exclusively last month, Cisco is also seeking to sell Scientific Atlanta, which along with Motorola has had a near duopoly on the set-top box business.And at least two other smaller cable-box players, Pace and Thomsons Technicolor, are also expected to test the marketplace by putting their businesses on the block, sources said."
An article on the Light Reading Cable site today about this:Is the Set-Top Duopoly on Its Deathbed?Light Reading Cable - March 7, 2012»www.lightreading.com/document.as···r_cable&"Getting out of the set-top box business appears to be the thing to do these days.Following word that Cisco Systems Inc. wants to unload its set-top box unit comes a rumor that Google is eager to sell off Motorola Mobility Inc.'s box business even before the deal is consummated.If both possibilities end up ringing true, then, ding-dong, the duopoly is dead. But, it's hard to blame them if they do indeed decide to bug out. The set-top box business isn't what it once was as margins drop and the traditional functions of the set-top box, including security, give way to set-top-free IP-connected TVs and tablets and more elegant software-based security systems that loosen their stranglehold on conditional access.The set-top box is a dying breed, but the business isn't dead yet, nor will it be for many years. So, in the theoretical absence of the duopoly, what's domestic cable to do? Don't fret too much is a good starting point. Panasonic Corp. may have picked the worst time to exit the U.S. set-top box business, but there is no shortage of folks that are hungry to help cable operators bridge the chasm. Here are some of the leading candidates, plus a few dark horses."[Followed by the author's list and discussion of the leading candidates and dark horses.]
Hey miscDude, you seem to know a lot about the STB comms (let me guess, you're an embedded dev for them ). So can you answer a question I had in another thread - why don't the Moto boxes cache the guide data to flash so you don't have to wait a couple of days to reload it after a power outage? Seems pretty archaic and a hassle for the customer in these days of whole home DVR tech. At a minimum you could only cache a couple of days if flash memory was tight, then pull the rest in over time.
Comcast is in the early process of rolling out On-Screen Guide 2.0 on new Cisco RNG 200-N to support AnyRoom DVR functionality in SA/Cisco set-top box markets. Currently, it is only available in about 6 states. This new guide will eventually be rolled out to all SA/Cisco RNG set-top boxes and modern Motorola set-top boxes that can support Tru2way and the new guide. The new set-top boxes haven't changed the way guide data is downloaded and since Comcast didn't add Flash memory to store guide data I don't think they will in the near future. Any set-top box that doesn't support either On-Screen Guide 2.0 or X1 (On-Screen Guide 3.0 - Xfinity Spectrum DVR) will eventually become a legacy box.--SA 8300 HD DVRs with Patched S25 GuideLinks:'S25 Guide Blog' 'Schedule' 'Info' 'Patch Thread'
A follow-up blog item on the Light Reading Cable site today, on why Google may want to dump Motorola's STB business:Why Google Will Dump Moto's Cable BizBy Jeff Baumgartner, Light Reading Cable - March 8, 2012»www.lightreading.com/blog.asp?bl···r_cable&"2:05 PM -- If Google does indeed try to sell off Motorola Mobility Inc.'s set-top box business after the acquisition closes, why in the wide, wide world of sports would it stop there?Moto's cable business also includes set-top modems, cable modem termination systems (CMTSs), edge QAMs, video servers and video software that's not Android. Does anyone really believe that Google, despite its interesting fiber experiment in mid-America, will want to hold on to any of that? I can't find anyone who does, despite Moto's defense of it.As one cable insider put it to me: One of the big reasons why Motorola Mobility has kept the cable business around is because it's a short-term cash cow that's been funding its mobile handset business. "At Google, that motivation no longer matters. They have plenty of money," he says.And besides not being a great fit at Google, Motorola's cable business probably doesn't have the kind of scale that's attractive to it. Moto's lumped-in cable business could pigeonhole a company that prefers to sell to the masses. While some cable guys like that Android might help them clear up their set-top box software issues, many in the industry simply don't trust Google, fearful that it will undermine what cable is trying to do on the set-top box.From my discussions so far, there is widespread belief that Google is apt to saw off Moto's cable business and try to sell it off in whole or in parts, or just shut some stuff down.The good news for Google is that it could find some buyers. Yesterday, we focused on some vendors that could help fill the gap with their existing set-top businesses. Today, here are some candidates that might flirt with buying part or all of Moto's cable business. (See: Is the Set-Top Duopoly on Its Deathbed? »www.lightreading.com/document.as···lr_cable )"[Followed by the author's list and discussion of which companies may want to buy Moto's cable business.]
I think Tru2Way requires DSG. So data would flow along the 38mbps pipe DOCSIS channel vs. the constrained 2mbps OOB channel.GTFan, if you want something with more modern technology, you'll have to get a system that works that way. A Media Center setup, Tivo Premiere, DirecTV HR24/ HR34, Dish Hopper/VIP722/622/etc...Your barking up the wrong tree here. Maybe in the future that will change but for now, sorry man.
Yes, I understand that completely. I use Tivos and WMC with Cablecards. I just wanted to know why Comcast is so far behind the curve here, but I can see from what miscDude posted that the least common denominator is indeed what they're stuck with.
An entry in Motorola's MediaExperiences2Go blog about the set-top's future:The Set-Tops FutureMMI's MediaExperiences2Go blog - March 8, 2012»www.motorola.com/mediaexperience···-future/"With recent buzz around Smart TVs, game consoles, and other connected devices, there is continued discussion around the question: is the set-top dead? As the world leader in set-top technology, it is a question we hear all of the time.The answer from our perspective, of course, is a resounding, NO! Its just the opposite the set-tops role is rapidly evolving to become the entertainment hub in the Living Room. And, with the number of connected devices predicted to increase to +24 billion in 2020, we see a very bright future."
Heh, rapidly evolving? Yeah, but Comcast's deployments aren't, either for boxes or for software. I understand why, and it can't be easy for them.
A follow-up blog item on the Light Reading Cable site today, on a possible Motorola STB business purchase scenario:Will Moto Go Back to the Future?By Jeff Baumgartner, Light Reading Cable - March 9, 2012»www.lightreading.com/blog.asp?bl···r_cable&"4:45 PM -- We've outlined a few possible outcomes if Google should decide to sell all or part of its cable division, with some a bit more outlandish than others.But there's another scenario involving a ghost of cable's past that's been circulating in recent weeks. It sounds not just outlandish, but maybe a little nutty. The scenario? How about Edward Breen swooping in to save Moto's entire cable business rather than seeing it chopped up and sold for parts?Breen's already got a pretty good job. He's the chairman and CEO of Tyco International Ltd., which he joined in 2002. Before that he was the president and CEO of Motorola Inc., joining them in 2000 when Moto got into the cable business in a meaningful way via its acquisition of General Instrument Corp. (GI), where Breen was chairman, president and CEO -- the king, basically.There are some different ways he could go about it. The less complicated path would see him leaving Tyco and rounding up some investors to make a play for Moto's cable division, which Google is expected to unload.Or, he could stay with Tyco and make his play from there. But that one's a bit more of a tangled mess. It got a little less messy last November when Breen resigned from the Comcast Corp. board in part because he's also on the board of ADT Security Services Inc., a unit of Tyco's that creates an apparent conflict with Comcast's budding Xfinity Home business."
I was one of those Luddites who resisted the transition to digital cable.I had 6 "cable-ready" CRT TVs around my home and did not want to have to use a box for each TV.That's why I stayed with cable instead of going to satellite TV (and FiOS, which while initially had some basic channels in NTSC analog, they later went all-digital).After a while, some of my favorite cable channels got moved to digital, so I eventually broke down and signed up for digital service. I got a few boxes for the main TVs (family room, kitchen and den), but left the others directly connected to receive just the basic-tier analog channels.I eventually replaced some of the CRT TVs with new flat-panel ones with clear QAM tuners, so they were able to receive the limited-basic tier of digital channels without a box.However, the channel numbers they displayed were strange - instead of showing "11-1" they would show something like "85-10" (due to PSIP issues with the QAM signals).Then, when Project Calvary came to our area recently, I had to get DTAs for the remaining CRT TVs to be able to see anything at all on them.Now there's talk of encrypting even the limited-basic digital channels. This will mean I will need to add boxes to even my new flat-panel TVs.I have to admit that going digital gave me more HD channels, on-screen channel guides, and clearer reception. And I know that going all-digital has freed-up spectrum to provide me all those new HD channels and higher speed HSI service, so I guess I can't complain.
Today, Ericsson announced it has offered to acquire the Broadcast Services Division of Technicolor, headquartered in France, for about $25 million.See: »www.ericsson.com/thecompany/pres···/1593417And:Ericsson to expand managed services with acquisition of Technicolors Broadcast ServicesBroadcast Engineering - March 13, 2013»blog.broadcastengineering.com/bl···ervices/"Thomson Multimedia bought the Broadcast Services Division of Technicolor in 2000. In March of 2011 the company changed its name to Technicolor and sold off its Thomson Video Networks business (encoders, multiplexers, video servers and other head-end equipment) to the Fonds de Consolidation et de Développement des Entreprises (FCDE). A consortium of major banks and insurance companies based in France funds the FCDE."Is this the division that provides the Thomson DTAs to Comcast?If so, the recent articles by Jeff Baumgartner on the Light Reading Cable site have said this about Technicolor and Ericsson possibly acquiring the cable box businesses of SA from Cisco or Motorola from Google:"Technicolor SA -It's done well as a source of Digital Terminal Adapter (DTA) devices, and there are rumors that it could become a second source for Comcast's next-gen X1 platform. But Technicolor's U.S. box strategy just hasn't set the cable world on fire. It's got the technical chops, but can it thrive in a low-margin world?""Ericsson AB -They've been looking for ways to deepen their relationship with cable, so this offers them a perfect opportunity to do so. It's not too hard to see them wanting to buy the whole division and integrating and managing it. Plus, the cable guys trust them."
Hmm are they really thinking of getting out of the set top business? Well then why are they considering purchasing NDS »www.broadbandtvnews.com/2012/03/···urchase/ ?NDS Software and assets would work great on their STB's.

Yes, that would not make sense, as Cisco says this deal will accelerate the delivery of its Videoscape platform:Cisco pays $5B for NDS GroupFierceIPTV - March 15, 2012»www.fierceiptv.com/story/cisco-p···12-03-15"Cisco has reached a deal to acquire pay-TV software maker NDS Group Holdings, confirming earlier rumors from an Israeli newspaper. Cisco will pay approximately $5 billion, including the assumption of debt and retention-based incentives, to acquire all of the business and operations of NDS.NDS is a provider of video software and content security solutions for pay-TV operators and supports TV everywhere and over-the-top initiatives. It currently counts DirecTV, British Sky Broadcasting Corp., Canal Plus and other pay-TV operators among its customers.Cisco said the deal will accelerate its delivery of Videoscape, its platform designed to enable service providers to deliver next-generation entertainment experiences. NDS already has a solid customer footprint in emerging markets like China and India, which will help Cisco broadens its own reach with service providers there."Our strategy has always been driven by customer need and on capturing market transitions," said Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers. "Our acquisition of NDS fits squarely into this strategy, enabling content and service providers to deliver new video solutions that leverage the cloud and drive new monetization opportunities and service differentiation."Cisco has made a number of recent acquisitions in recent months to support Videoscape, among them Inlet Technologies and BNI Video. The NDS deal, Cisco said, will address issues including end-user viewing client and content security solutions. NDS also brings a significant amount of systems integration expertise to the table. All, said Cisco, will accelerate the delivery of Videoscape."

AMD's Quad FX crammed with cores
AMD unveils is quad core desktop platform
Like the Onion's Jackie Harvey, we incorrectly referred to AMD's quad-core desktop platform as " Socket 4x4" when we first learned about it, mostly because we couldn't get confirmation of the name of the thing during the investor phone conference in which it was announced. Our bad on that. But with AMD's unveiling today of Quad FX, aka simply "4x4," we can finally address the whole package with a little more clarity.
Aimed strictly at PC enthusiasts, AMD's answer to the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 is a bit more convoluted than Intel's. Instead of putting a single quad-core chip on a motherboard, Quad FX boards will accept two AMD dual-core chips, each plugging into its own independent socket. But you can't just stick any old Athlon 64 X2 or FX chips on a Quad FX motherboard. Instead, you'll need one of AMD's new Athlon 64 FX-70-series packages, which will give you two CPUs. In order of cost and performance, a pair of Athlon 64 FX-70s will go for $599, a pair of FX-72s is $799, and two FX-74 chips will cost $999. AMD claims these chips will be available from retailers today, but as of this writing, NewEgg.com had no FX-70-series CPUs listed.
Assuming the retailers stick to AMD's recommended prices, we'll give AMD credit for the cost. We were concerned that a two-chip solution would cost twice as a single Intel chip, and AMD has allayed those fears. The $599 FX-70 and the $799 FX-72 also beat Intel to the punch as far as spreading quad-core across multiple price points. Right now, Intel's only quad-core option is its $1,000-plus QX6700. It's a good thing AMD has a few more options, too, because at the high end, benchmarks from around the Web don't look good for the FX-74.
With no Quad FX hardware of our own to test, we'll direct you to the coverage over at HardOCP and Tom's Hardware for a full set of benchmarks. Each site has its own take, and based on the scores presented, our opinion is more in line with Tom's than iwith the HardOCP crew. Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX6700 gets the win, because it's faster overall by a small but measureable margin, it's twice as power efficient, and you don't need to lay out as much cash for the surrounding memory, power supply, and motherboard to get the most out of it. HardOCP took a more forgiving stance, which has stirred up a lively debate in their comments section.
We should mention a point that both of those sites also acknowledged. AMD has announced that next year it will offer native quad-core chips that you can plug into a current Quad FX motherboard (with the Asus L1N64-SLI WS Dual-Socket currently your only option). In other words, Quad FX has a clear upgrade path to eight-core computing. The same is currently possible with Intel's quad-core Xeon 5355 chips and a dual-socket motherboard (as our own Daniel Begun showed over in CNET's Labs earlier this month), and Intel also hosted a gaming-oriented demo this week (convenient timing) with an unspecified dual-socket Intel motherboard running two quad-core Xeon 5350 chips. But as of now, there's no consumer-oriented dual-socket motherboard that will support two Intel quad-core CPUs on the market, so the consumer upgrade path to a two-chip eight-core system currently belongs to AMD. Both CPU vendors have also mention native eight-core chips on their respective road maps.
If you're interested in purchasing a Quad FX-based PC today, our in-box has turned up two options this morning. Both Maingear and Velocity Micro announced that they will be offering Quad FX-based desktops. Velocity Micro hasn't updated its Raptor 64 DualX configurator yet, but Maingear's update is live, with its Beast desktop starting at $3,847.53 for an FX-70-based config. Vigor and Cyberpower have also been mentioned as Quad FX launch partners.

"Such a cute design... the form factor is small and adorable, perfect for a valentine. Loved how we could personalize the photo and the name. Quick service, great quality. Fourth time getting these kids valentines and not disappointed. Will order again!"
"My 8yo son wanted cards that were not too sweet or cute. I wanted a card that wasn't another ad for a toy or TV show. This simple card was our middle ground. He thought the phone design was cool, as did his guy friends, while the photo placement allows you to highlight whatever aspect of your child's personality you like: silly, sweet, cool, your choice. I only wish they had more techie or graphic-novel cards and invitations to make older boys get this excited for stationery."
"This is a cute card that isn't overly cute. The train is perfect for that 2-4yo train-obsessed preschooler in your home. My 3yo son took these to daycare and they were a hit, both with his picture to personalize it and the train design kids respond to--without it being yet another commercial character."
"such a fun card for girls or boys but my son loved them and so did his friends and some family he passed them out too. Cute size and loved the little envelopes that came with them. Cute graphics, great printing. A+++ quality! Thank you!!!"
"the colors were perfect and theme fit my daughters personality so well. Super fun for tweens and really any age. Cute pocket sized and great for friends! Will for sure purchase these again!"

Go to the source, Sungold kennels in Lovell, wyoming. Very quality dogs with guarantees. 2 of my 3 goldens have been sungold dogs and they are great. The big question is what do you want your dog to do. Will he just be a pet or will you hunt him. Field trials, obedience tests goldens can do it all. My dog will outhunt most other dogsand he is very gentle with my 1 and 3 yr old daughters. If you want more info PM me. Remember, the least amount of money you spend on a dog id what you pay for them as a pup. It pales in comparison to the food, vet bills, etc.

In the late 1970s, career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their goal was to take an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student's set of needs. Their success in helping K–12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills quickly spawned franchises across New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere.
Today, the certified Huntington tutoring staff uses testing and rubrics for assessing each child's skills, academic needs, and potential for growth. The teachers even note the student's behavior in different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child's learning style. Teachers also adhere to the company's code of ethics, which stresses professionalism and confidentiality and encourages pupils to improve their grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.
Brian Leaf has spent countless hours parsing through Family Guy, Twilight, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and myriad other pop-culture phenomena—not for his own amusement, but to pick out SAT and ACT vocabulary words lurking in the scripts, which he's compiled in six books. A seasoned test-prep instructor, Leaf has helped thousands of students surmount standardized tests through his books and workshops, which dole out insider advice for taking the entire tests as well as specific subjects such as math, reading, and dodgeball. Students leave each session with a collection of McGraw-Hill guidebooks, tips on stress management and avoiding common avoidable mistakes, and strategies for each subject.
Beginning with two brothers, a neighborhood full of spectators, and a helium-neon laser, Mad Science today deploys entertaining educators around the world to inject hands-on science programs with an element of fun.

The Kernel Hacker's Guide to Source Code Control
Many issues involved with Linux kernel development are different from traditional software development processes. When working on a portion of the kernel (or a specific driver), you need to 1) stay aware of changes that are happening to other portions of the kernel with which you interact, 2) constantly apply your changes to the moving target of a fast-based kernel development release schedule, 3) resolve any merge conflicts between changes you have made and changes made by other people and 4) be able to export your changes in a format others can use easily.
For a number of years, I developed and maintained the USB to serial port drivers and then eventually took over maintaining all of the USB code in the kernel. In this article, I explain some of the tools I used in the past to do this work and show how some new tools have enhanced my ability to keep on top of changes in the kernel and let me do my job with less effort.
One of the most common methods of doing kernel work is to use the patch and diff programs. You can use this and no other type of source-code control system to do kernel development. One way is to use two different directory trees: a "clean" one and a "working" one. The clean tree is a released kernel version, while the working one is based on the same released kernel version, but contains your modifications. Then you can use patch and diff to extract your changes and forward port these changes to a new kernel release. For example, let's start off with a clean 2.4.18 kernel (available at www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.18.tar.gz) in our working directory:
$ ls linux-2.4.18.tar.gz
Uncompress this kernel, and then rename the created directory, which will be called "linux" to something that makes sense:
$ tar -zxf linux-2.4.18.tar.gz $ mv linux linux-2.4.18 $ ls linux-2.4.18 linux-2.4.18.tar.gzNow create a duplicate version of this kernel version, and name it something else:
$ tar -zxf linux-2.4.18.tar.gz $ mv linux linux-2.4.18-greg $ ls linux-2.4.18 linux-2.4.18-greg linux-2.4.18.tar.gzNow we can do all of our development in our -greg directory and leave the clean, original kernel directory alone. After we are finished with our work, we need to create a patch to send to other people. The Documentation/SubmittingPatches file explains the proper format that most kernel developers like for sending and receiving patches. It also explains the usage of a dontdiff file, which can help with generating these patches. The dontdiff file can be found at www.moses.uklinux.net/patches/dontdiff and contains a list of files that you do not want to have the diff program pay attention to.
To create a patch, use the following command:
$ diff -Naur -X dontdiff \ linux-2.4.18 linux-2.4.18-greg/ > my_patch
This creates a file called my_patch that contains the difference between your work and a clean 2.4.18 kernel tree. This patch then can be sent to other people via e-mail.
If a new kernel version is released, and you want to forward port your changes to the new version, you need to try to apply your generated patch onto a clean kernel version. This can be done in the following steps:
Generate your original patch, as in the previous example.
Using the official patch from kernel.org, move the old kernel version forward one release:
$ cd linux-2.4.18 $ patch -p1 < ../patch-2.4.19 $ cd .. $ mv linux-2.4.18 linux-2.4.19
Move your working directory forward one release by removing your patch, then applying the new update:
$ cd linux-2.4.18-greg $ patch -p1 -R < ../my_patch $ patch -p1 < ../patch-2.4.19 $ cd .. $ mv linux-2.4.18-greg linux-2.4.19-greg
Try to apply your patch on top of the new update:
$ cd linux-2.4.19-greg $ patch -p1 < ../my_patch
If your patch does not apply cleanly, resolve all of the conflicts that are created (patch will tell you about these, leaving behind .rej and .orig files for you to compare and fix up manually using your favorite editor). This merge process can be the most difficult part if you have made changes to portions of the source tree that have been changed by other people.
If you use this development process, I highly recommend getting the excellent patchutils set of programs (found at cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils). These programs enable you to manipulate text patches easily in all sorts of useful ways, and they have saved kernel developers many hours of tedious work.

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.

► Mutation in ZNF335, an essential brain development gene, leads to severe microcephaly ► ZNF335 is essential for progenitor maintenance and prevents premature differentiation ► ZNF335 interacts with a H3K4 methyltransferase complex to regulate gene expression ► ZNF335 is upstream of REST/NRSF, a master regulator controlling key neuronal genes
Microcephaly is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing significantly reduced cerebral cortex size. Many known microcephaly gene products localize to centrosomes, regulating cell fate and proliferation. Here, we identify and characterize a nuclear zinc finger protein, ZNF335/NIF-1, as a causative gene for severe microcephaly, small somatic size, and neonatal death. Znf335 null mice are embryonically lethal, and conditional knockout leads to severely reduced cortical size. RNA-interference and postmortem human studies show that ZNF335 is essential for neural progenitor self-renewal, neurogenesis, and neuronal differentiation. ZNF335 is a component of a vertebrate-specific, trithorax H3K4-methylation complex, directly regulating REST/NRSF, a master regulator of neural gene expression and cell fate, as well as other essential neural-specific genes. Our results reveal ZNF335 as an essential link between H3K4 complexes and REST/NRSF and provide the first direct genetic evidence that this pathway regulates human neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation.

THE MAN WITHIN MY HEAD: On GRAHAM GREENE & Other Elective Affinities.
-- Pico Iyer
In conversation with Paul Holdengräber, Pico Iyer will unravel the mysterious communion he has always had with Graham Greene, illuminated now in The Man Within My Head. Iyer, at home nowhere, will examine the nature of his elective affinities with Greene--their shared restlessness and refusal to make a home in any faith, country or category.
Pico Iyer is the author of two novels and eight works of non-fiction, including Video Night in Kathmandu, The Lady and the Monk, The Global Soul and The Open Road. He writes frequently for The New York Review of Books, Harper's, The New York Times and many other publications; his most recent articles have discussed the workers of the Fukushima nuclear plant, the power of stillness and the fiction of Somalia.

Throughout my years of attending private institutions I have come across an undying tie-in to religious tolerance. Many believe that religious views shape cultural thought, yet stimulated belief structures influenced by the perverbeal backlash of cast judgement. The iconic traveling consisting of minimal resources and decadent instincts subtract themes of violence, hatred, and solitude. Feelings that are tangible vs emotions that are translucent depict a "ghost of a shell." - Spark

That's all you're worried about? Your precious gun?!? :O You voted for an hypocrite who doesn't give a danm about you or any American but himself just because you thought Obama would take away your gun? I mean come on, get a grip on reality.

Is it just me, or was Ohio called rather early?
75% in... Very small voter difference, so I've heard... The rest of the polls were supposedly conservative, and probably would have turned the tables... Hrmph.
Whatever the outcome, it probably wouldn't change much. I'll be back in the morning.

That's only the third time that's happened in our history, I believe. Kinda weird how two of the times in our 200+ year history happened in-between two elections.
Curses; Rupert from Survivor didn't win Governor of Indiana. He did manage to get 7% of the vote, which is pretty good for an independent/Libertarian.

That's all you're worried about? Your precious gun?!? :O
Why would I be worried about anything else? We'll always have a military, so I don't need to worry about anything else.
You voted for an hypocrite who doesn't give a danm about you or any American but himself just because you thought Obama would take away your gun?
I didn't vote. I'm 16. I would have voted for Gary Johnson if I could vote.
I mean come on, get a grip on reality.
I do have a grip on reality. Obama has a proven track record of lying through his teeth and is a born politician, Romney has a proven track record of flip flopping on issues to suit himself and is a power hungry oligarchic *****.
They both deserve to die.

What are electoral votes? I thought the total amount of votes were what counted most?
Just goes to show how much I know... Anyways from what I know of Obama and Romney I feel neutral towards the American's choice for Obama for another term. I feel this way mostly because I know little of their stances on most things.
wow slow down guys
getting crazy here
did you see that ohio might not be done i think its just the romney dudes trying to win obama still won dont get your hopes up
Posted Nov 6, '12 at 11:47pm
Tet a grip on reality he says, you're a hypocrite he says. How ironic and hypocritical of you. Let's see what we get to look forward to. 1: an even higher national debt 2: higher vase prices 3: gun restrictions 4: higher taxes 5: 4 years of romman noodles Can't wait!
And honestly give me one even remotely ok reason as to why you honk he doesn't care about anyone but himself? Is it because he doesn't agree with your black massiah? Is it because he has had a good idea that could help people unlike raising the national debt more than Obama said that he would lower it by? Honestly, you just spit out this idiocy without restraint or reason and it gets annoying.

The Coconut Secret Story...
When both our parents suddenly became diabetic, my brother and I were deeply inspired to search the world for a pure, raw, truly delicious, low glycemic sweetener. We were rewarded and blessed beyond our expectations, in our discovery of the traditional sweetener made from the sap of the wondrous coconut tree. You are now holding in your hands, the fruits of our long journey. It is our joy to be able to share with you the gifts of these exceptional ingredients. Leslie and Randy
Health Secrets of Coconut Nectar
When the coconut tree is tapped it produces a nutrient-rich "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is very low glycemic (GI of only 35), is an abundant source of minerals, 17 amino acids, vitamin C, broad-spectrum B vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH.
Small batches ensure that our pure, low glycemic Nectar, made from this natural sap, is a raw, enzymatically alive product, minimally evaporated at low temperatures (only to remove excess moisture and allow sap to thicken), never exceeding an average summer day in the tropics. Some agave syrups are hydrolyzed at temps up to 140 degrees F. for 36 hours, the end product containing 90% fructose, compared to coconut sap which is only 0.5% glucose, 1.5% fructose, 16% sucrose, and 82% inulin.
Recipe Tips
The naturally sweet, mild flavor of our Nectar is an ideal sweetener for use on pancakes, over cereal, in tea and all your favorite dessert recipes! (Our delicious Coconut Nectar does not have a coconutty flavor.)

text: One the west coast of the Algarve, the attractive village of ODECEIXE tumbles down a hillside opposite the broad valley of the Odeceixe River, below the winding, tree-lined main coast road. Sleepy out of season, its character changes in summer when it attracts a steady stream of backpackers, surfers, campervanners and families, lured by a superb beach and a very laid-back atmosphere. The beach, the Praia de Odeceixe, is 4km west of the village, reached down a verdant river valley, the fields either side neatly cultivated with corn. A road-train trundles back and forth during July and August, but it's a lovely walk as well, following the river to a broad, sandy bay framed by low cliffs. It is one of the most sheltered beaches on this stretch of coast, offering superb surfing and relatively safe swimming, especially when the tide is out.

UNITED STATES -- Fast-food giant McDonald's is accused of bribing hundreds of bloggers to write positive posts about their restaurants. The company has reportedly thrown parties and given free gifts to about 400 McDonald's-friendly bloggers.
The company reportedly flew 15 bloggers to its Illinois headquarters last year, putting them up in a fancy Chicago hotel and giving them a tour of the facilities.
Last year, the company compensated "mommy bloggers" for writing about its new "wholesome choices" program for its Happy Meals.

Brief Description
Drug addiction is a complex illness characterized by intense and, at times, uncontrollable drug craving, along with compulsive drug seeking and use that persist even in the face of devastating consequences. While the path to drug addiction begins with the voluntary act of taking drugs, over time a person's ability to choose not to do so becomes compromised, and seeking and consuming the drug becomes compulsive.

Strawberry and coconut icecream sandwiches
Thinking about the flavours of strawberries, vanilla and coconut, I decided to give the idea of homemade strawberry icecream sandwiched between crisp and slightly chewy coconut wafers, a go. Delicious and fun to make - for all ages.
(You can click on ingredients to see more related recipes)
1½ cups | Milk |
2½ cups | Cream |
½ | Vanilla bean, split |
8 | Eggs, (yolks) |
1¼ cups | Caster sugar |
1 punnet | Strawberries |
Coconut Wafer
⅓ cup | Flour |
2½ cups | Desiccated coconut |
½ tsp | Salt |
⅔ cup | Condensed milk |
1 tsp | Vanilla essence/extract |
- To make the icecream; pour the milk and cream into a heavy based saucepan. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the mix. Stir and heat until just beneath boiling point. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean.
- Whisk the egg yolks together with 1 cup of the sugar until pale and the sugar has dissolved. Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture on to the yolks then whisk the mixture back into the remaining milk.
- Return the saucepan to a low heat and cook while stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Strain and chill.
- Roughly chop the strawberries and combine with the remaining sugar. Leave for 30 minutes then fold into the custard and transfer to the icecream machine.
- To make the wafers; preheat the oven to 180C. Grease or line two baking sheets.
- Mix the flour, coconut and salt together. Pour in the condensed milk and vanilla and mix. Form into flat 8cm rounds and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden. Let cool before sandwiching with the icecream.

I will give my opinion on scale 1-10, 10 being most liked.
Elodie Mabel- 9 Elodie is very pretty and Mabel has a sweet vintage vibe
Mila Amelina- 2 but Mila would get a much higher score paired with a different middle name
Esme Melusine- 8 for esme but not sure about the pronunciation of the middle name
Megan Abrielle- 5 its kinda meh for my taste and compared to the other names you like but not bad
and Elin Mariel.- 6
If I may suggest...Lousia seems like it might be your style
April 29th, 2013 01:22 PM #5
From your list, I like Esme and Mila (Love, love, love), but with different middle names. Melusine (maybe I'm mispronouncing it) reminds me of muesli. Mila and Amelina don't go together, as both end in a (rhymy), and they will slur to become Milamelina.
Suggestions: Jessamine, Mina, Milena, Marin, Mara, Savina, Emiliana, Cecilia, Cressida, Delphine, etc.Emiliana Pari (or Valentina Hasti?) Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia
Camellia Seraphine, Jessamine Ara
