Any storm in a port
Consider this column to be a virtual pub. I raise my glass to all time-wasters out there. It's customary for this column to ignore the big news items of the week and instead focus on things that don't really matter. So permit me to avoid wasting your Friday afternoon fruitlessly on conjecture about the inexplicably popular topic …
Re: Yeah, well, me too
It's fear. I have noticed this too. What happens, is, having broken at least one connector in our lifetimes (usually on a laptop or other item where it's difficult/impossible to replace), we take it VERY easy, the slightest resistance makes us reverse the connector. Then we find either (A) it fits, in which case the first time was wrong, or, (B), it doesn't fit, which means the first time was right but we didn't push hard enough through fear.
I agree the designer of the connector needs to be beaten
Horizontal USB sockets
aren't too bad - they seem to have an "up" and "down". It's the vertical ones (usually hidden well out of sight at the back of the machine) that cause problems ...
Very glad
That after several years, most USB plugs now actually identify the 'top' in some way... same for iPod dock plugs... and device makers _seem_ to be standardising accordingly.
I often ponder the USB plug's affinity for the flip side
Makes me think of that Intel rock star ad with the co-inventor the USB. Couldn't have come up with a way to determine plug orientation other than holding the plug to see the face then hoping as the plug is re-oriented to the socket that it does not get flipped. It is time that is wasted on something other than preferred time wasters.
Re: I often ponder the USB plug's affinity for the flip side
I wonder if there's a scientific paper in here somewhere about the quantum relationship between USB plugs and falling cats or buttered toast?
Possible explanation
Most of the USB plugs I use have the USB logo on one side and some other logo on the other. The "some other" is often the vendor's logo, or in one case the "don't throw in the bin" logo. Whatever, they're bigger and more prominent than the USB moniker and I'm naturally drawn to that being the "top". Hence almost 100% failure rate till I worked out what was going on and trained myself to turn it over.
If someone could just tell me how to line up the prongs of a halogen GU10 bulb without spending 15 minutes trying to locate it by feel, my happiness would be complete.
Re: Possible explanation
It's always the bloody awkward, inaccessible connectors that are the hardest. Bayonet and screw light bulbs are easy, because those are usually on exposed fittings and so easy to see. But spotlights, which are recessed and at full ceiling height are always the hardest. So you get the shitty thin 2 pin types, that you often have to screw in. Using a tiny jewellers screwdriver rather than a nice thumb screw naturally. And then the magical GU10, with 2 tiny flimsy pins to bend and fail to make a connection, and a crappy cheap spring holding the whole connection together. All of this has to be done in the dark, at full stretch standing on the floor, or with you head bent at a funny angle under the ceiling, if standing on a chair.
The same with USB. Mini USB is easy to see, because it goes on small devices that you hold in your hand to connect. The full-size USB on the other end, often goes into the backs of PCs, under desks, and so must be impossible.
I'm considering creating a new connector, that can only be plugged in while the right way up, in a locked filing cabinet, in a disused basement lavatory, with a sign on the door saying, 'beware of the leopard'. Obviously you'll need a torch to see it, because the lights will probably have gone...
Re: Possible explanation
>> If someone could just tell me how to line up the prongs of a halogen GU10 bulb without spending 15 minutes trying to locate it by feel, my happiness would be complete.
Use your tongue.
First, check it's a GU10 and not an MR16.
The GU10 lamp has "top-hat" prongs, MR16 has straight pins.
Now look at the socket and note the four holes.
Two are round - ignore them, they are screws.
Two are elongated, these are the two to jam your top hat prongs into.
Align roughly with the fatter end of the elongated holes, insert, wiggle slightly and twist clockwise to engage.
If they're actually MR16 then the bigger holes are the screws, so you line the pins up with the two tiny holes and push.
In both cases the lamp will probably light up before you've inserted it all the way, burning your hand.
- Top safety tip - turn the damn thing off first. You can tell if its off because the lamp that doesn't work is off when it's off, and off when it's on.
This is really old news
It's a well documented fact that any 50 / 50 chance decision will be gotten wrong at least 9 times out of 10.
My personal best effort ever was:
German Girl: "would you like to come with me? I know this nice hotel. We could have some fun."
Me: "No, I want to go see Lichtenstein".
25 years later I still haven't fathomed that one out. (See Icon).
Regardless, to be sure of answering correctly, the odds need to be exactly 1,000,000 to 1 against...
Re: This is really old news
This makes perfect sense.
You are interested in stamps, Lichtenstein makes great stamps and has a superb philatelic museum and shop.
You are not interested in hotels, in fact, one hotel is much the same as the other.
If the German girl wants to go have some fun, then she can go with you to the philatelic museum in Vaduz.
Re: This is really old news
So it was her fault all along?
Who'da thunk.
Nothing that applied black marker won't fix.
Interestingly most cables have a "memory", they lie a certain way and they get used to it. Not USB cables, they tend to invert when left uncoupled for any time.
When I first encountered the greater than 50% probability of the plug being inverted at first insertion, I applied black marker to the side that I would see as I was inserting the plug. Worked for vertical sockets as well. Forgotten all about that until I read the article.
Re: Nothing that applied black marker won't fix.
And you always have sufficient lighting when you're plugging them in? I don't.
I'm obviously in the majority here in getting it wrong more than right (~75% in my case).
But the ones I used to hate more were the old PS2 connectors for keyboards and mice. Not only were they rotationally symmetric from the outside except for the small lip that you could never see when you were holding them to try and put them in, but if you were even a little off and pushed, you ended up bending or breaking the pins inside. Then at best it was a pliers job, at worst a new bit of kit.
So perhaps USB isn't so bad after all, as at least there you can normally do it on the second go and the risk of actually breaking the damn thing aren't high
Re: PS2
And they came with the bundled 50 / 50 chance of getting the keyboard and mouse the right way around when trying to plug them, arm twisted like a SCO lawyers soul, into the back of the computer.
Re: PS2
SCO lawyers have souls? Who knew?
Re: PS2
A bit like ramming a DVI-I plug into a DVI-A port... or was it the other way around?
Re: PS2
And they came with the bundled 50 / 50 chance of getting the keyboard and mouse the right way around when trying to plug them, arm twisted like a SCO lawyers soul, into the back of the computer.
I never understand why they didn't simply make the ports identical in the first place - they used a six pin mini-DIN - two for power, two for signalling, and two unused. The keyboard and mouse used the same two pins for signalling even though they were not automatically compatible with each other. It would have been a trivial matter to put the signals for one or the other to the unused pins and wiring both signals to both ports as many laptops actually ended up doing, Then you would simply have two interchangeable keyboard or mouse ports with no possibility of connecting them up the wrong way round.
SCART used to be bad for this, despite the fact that the plug is clearly asymmetrical.
USB ports, on a horizontal plane usually have the USB logo on top.
However, by tower PC at home has front-side USB ports that for some reason, counter-intuitively, have the 'top' of the USB port facing the rear.
Also, I have a little pen drive that isn't a full USB male interface, just the central part with the connectors. This is very easy to put in the wrong way, or into Ethernet sockets.
I now tend to use USB hubs which are permanently connected to the awkward-to-get-at ports, but are at hand to plug in devices locally, so wrong way rounds are difficult to do.
Re: Optional
SCART was the work of Satan.
USB's just one of his kid's school homework projects.
Re: Optional
SCART was f*$%^*"%^ evil.
You could get the orientation right easily enough, but then you'd reach behind the tv and start sliding the damn cable around and about all over the place trying to get the thing in. All you needed was to be a fraction of a millimeter out and you may as well have been next door.
Inevitably, five minutes later, you'd have to pull the tv out and plug the damn thing in by sight. Worst Cable Evar.
Re: SCART was the work of Satan
SCART also had the only hardware interface designed to unplug itself in slow-motion. The connection was about as tight as coins in your pocket.
Re: Optional
SCART had two problems.
Either the socket was as loose as a loose thing (insert your own epithet) or it was so tight that you thought the plug wasn't going because it was the wrong way round - at which point you'd turn the plug around ensuring it wouldn't go in.
Secondly the cable (especially if it had all the pins connected) had a mind of its own and the strength of a full grown python and would defy any attempt to orientate with the socket.
Just remembered a third point - SCART sockets that weren't fixed to the TV/VCR case and so moved around as you forced the plug home. As a result repeated insertion causing problems with the PCB it was on. I have certain small Sony Triniton TV in mind.
Re: Optional
Yes, SCART was the work of the Devil himself. A French Devil. They're designed to fall out of the socket when any amount of force is exerted from the massive sideways-fitting lead. And then when you do try and fiddle with them, they usually fall to bits. They are also used to con gullible a-little-knowledge-etc type people into purchasing gold-plated versions. Who remembers seeing gold SCART leads for £79 at currys?
Spin 1/2 particles
I noted this earlier this year, USB plugs are clearly macro-quantum mechanical exhibitors of spin.
As spin half particles, they require 2 whole revolutions to be in the correct orientation.
This is why you can be wrong 75% of the time and it make perfect sense. It's also how you can rotate them through 180 degrees two or three times before getting it right.
Stand back! It's nearly real science!
Re: Spin 1/2 particles
Hmm.. I thought they were spin 3/2 devices..
They said you had to be nuts to understand quantum physics. I didn't understand it before I started using USB peripherals..
Round pegs into square holes
I also have pondered the bad attitude of these little swines! I DO agree that they are wonderful for their popularity across the board, but they just need to damn well stop putting their arms out when you're trying to slot them in.
My main thought is whether USB connectors could be made round, simlilar to phono leads, with several separated contacts.
this is a manufacturing fault
I see what's going on here, your PC is actually upside-down.
Re: this is a manufacturing fault: Dell
Most desktop towers are built with the mainboard mounted on in inside right of the case (if you are looking at it from the front). Dell likes to build any number of units internally reversed, so not only are the connectors on the other side of the rear of the case, you have to flip the connector for it to go in.
Re: this is a manufacturing fault: Dell
To be fair to Dell, their left handed factory workers are much happier for it...
Re: this is a manufacturing fault: Dell
The Dell Latitude D400 laptop has a USB external DVD drive. It contains a typical laptop self-powered thin mechanism. However it appears they needed more power than the laptop's USB socket would provide. So they made the cable plug a combined USB A and a polarised power connector stacked one above the other.
That reminds me of an external USB 2.5" hard disk unit. It had two USB A connectors daisy-chained on the PC end of the cable. It didn't differentiate which was the real USB connector - and which was the dummy fhat just supplied extra power from some laptops.
It stands for "U Sodding Bastard". Or at least that's what I usually end up calling it.
Samsung (e.g.) helpfully print a USB symbol on one side of the connector to assist with getting it
wrong right.
It's the bloody cables. If the USB connector is the right way up, the cable is twisted. As soon as your attention wanders, it'll flip back the right way (inevitably trying to take a bite out of your wrist on the way round). So you know the connector is the right way up by the tension in the cable. Except when the cables deliberately tense up, in order to fool you.
Still, I failed an even easier
stupidity intelligence test last night. While fixing my Mum's Dell all-in-one PC, I wanted to plug a USB cable in, so bent down under the desk to find the case...
Did you give your head a good hard crack on the edge of the desk once you realized your error and stood up too quickly? That's my go-to move
its not just electrical plugs n sockets ....
I remember being in IT support 14 odd years ago, it should have really been called "Printer Support" since HP's laser jets took up more time than all the PC issues I seemed to have to deal with.
Anyway I found that users could put the humble toner cartridge in a variety of ways, sometimes not pull the tab off and pull the piece of plastic out (to release the toner) . The best one had to be on what at the time was a 5 grand colour laser jet , with a rotary carousel of the 4 types of CMYK cartridge, and someone had tried to push a Magenta cartridge into a Yellow Hole. These things were "keyed" (and colour coded) so you shouldn't have been able (or attempted) to do it , also there was a ratchet on the rotating-carousel of the cartridges, and it was well and truly jammed, as it had rotated around and the ratchet was stopping it from being reversed. I somehow did manage to free it . Users , who'd have 'em? I guess it kept me gainfully employed.
In the valley of the people that can't put the square (colour coded) peg in the square hole (like the toy for 3 year olds that we all once had ) , the person that uses their 1/2 of remaining eye and 2 remaining neurons is KING !
So Alistair "You're FIRED !" ( in my best Sir Sugar voice )
The problem with USB is not the way around they are...
but how close they put them together... they are the exact distance apart so nothing else will fit by 0.5mm. Drives me nuts.
Re: The problem with USB is not the way around they are...
If I may be so bold...
I have one plug that works *every* time..
It's the 3.5mm audio jack :).
For the rest I have a hub mounted on the desk so I can see the buggers..
Re: I have one plug that works *every* time..
Assuming that the 3.5mm socket and plug are appropriately matched as mono/stereo - if they are not innocently carrying an embedded optical link.
The old DB25 connectors were used for so many interfaces - you were bound to blow up something at some time.
Re: I have one plug that works *every* time..
I get mine wrong, because it's right next to the microphone 3.5mm jack.
Every frickin' time.
I'm sure the "unknown microphone detected" message I subsequently get on screen is actually my PC's code for "You are an utter loser."
Helpful hint of the day
Do yourself a favour and go get a bottle of Liquid Paper correction fluid. Put a nice, easy to see blob on the 'top' side of each USB cable connector.
(For white or light coloured cables, use a black Sharpie or something.)
Then you'll always know which way the cable is oriented, which takes SOME of the guesswork out.
I can't believe you lot call yourself IT professionals, and haven't yet mastered the tricky art of plugging cables into computers. Nobbly bit goes up. Nobbly bit always goes up. Work out which way is up on your computer. Insert plug into socket.
I normally like Dabbs' articles, but this one is utter pish. He admits to being flummoxed by VGA D-sub 15 plugs, yet can cope just fine with the identical shape of a mini HDMI.
On the list of things to get annoyed about, "OMG, I had to rotate the plug 180°" does not merit 846 words.
Re: Flamebait
What nobbly bit? Whatchoo tokkin about Wills? Nobbly bit? Nutter.
Re: Flamebait
Oh yeah?
Which way around does the knobbly bit on an rj45 connector go in a vertical NIC?
I'm still waiting for my 100m optical lightning adapter. I want it held with magnets so it doesn't destroy things when I forget to unplug it.
A pox on thin-pins in VGA adapters which feel as though they should plug into a DB9 serial port housing and those IDE cables which weren't keyed. Scratch that, a pox on all IDE cables.
Thin-net BNC - now there's a proper daisy-chain system!
Re: Flamebait
On the 'top' of almost every connector that goes into a computer is a raised logo or marking.
On a USB cable, it is usually the USB logo.
On a PS/2 cable, it is usually a raised line.
On a SPDIF cable, it is usually a raised line.
On a RJ-45, it is the cable release lever.
On a eSATA, it is the cable release lever.
This goes in facing UP.
Pay attention now, this is where it gets crazy. Plug in the cable so that the bit that is supposed to face UP does in fact face UP.
Mental. I can see how you get it so wrong so frequently.
It does get trickier if you are plugging into an extension card or onto a motherboard attached port in a tower case (or any case where the motherboard is not orientated flat and the right way up). For the motherboard, re-orientate the case (in your mind, put the computer down) so that it is pointing UP and plug the cable in so that it is pointing UP. This is advanced stuff now, so take a break if you haven't got it yet.
For expansion cards, UP is a different direction. Expansion cards have a front and a back. The front is the side that faces away from the CPU. This is UP. Plug the cable in so that UP is UP.
It's almost like someone thought about this…
Re: Flamebait
Which way around does the knobbly bit on an rj45 connector go in a vertical NIC?
Seriously? It goes facing up, which is away from the CPU for an expansion card.
You guys actually get this stuff wrong?
Re: IDE cables which weren't keyed.
I just hated those motherboards and add on cards where the cheap bastards used a double row of unpolarized berg sticks as the floppy or IDE connector.
After a few miscues, I decided that the best solution was a RED sharpie used to insure a red stripe on pin one of the cable, and a red dot at pin one of the connector.
obviously from the same school of design as SCART connectors...
At least USB slots are often on the front of a device where you can see what you are doing. As a previous owner of Peugeot/Citroen cars I was less than surprised to find out that the SCART standard originated from France: a good idea but the implementation fell somewhat short :-) I've lost count of the number of times I have had to scrabble blind at the rear of a TV or video/dvd player, trying to find the tiny sweet spot on a flush mounted SCART socket, where it will actually accept the plug. The alternative being to spend ages disentangling the rat's nest of tv/video/console/satellite/set top box wiring to haul out the offending unit for a better view

(Editor's note: This letter is in response to "Denenberg Asks AG to Investigate Privatization of Sewage Plants," that appeared in the Thursday, Jan. 14, edition of The Roslyn News. This is the second of two letters from Claudia Borecky. The first letter appeared in last week's edition.)
County Executive Mangano is proposing to sell or lease three of the County's sewage treatment plants (STP), Cedar Creek, Bay Park and Glen Cove, to fill the county's budget gap. He stated in a Long Island Press article, "In this case, we have the ability to protect the taxpayer, increase efficiencies and protect the environment."
In last week's letter, I discussed how Nassau County will lose its ability to protect the taxpayer and sale of our STPs will mean a huge increase in our sewage tax bill. Research has also shown that the quality of service often declines when operated by a private system. Although faith in the private sector to outperform government agencies is ingrained in the American psyche, facts disproving that belief are steadily mounting. Private companies seek to maximize profits, often by cutting corners to reduce costs. This can greatly impair service quality and maintenance. Over 60 percent of governments that brought functions back in-house reported this as their primary motivation.
In 2010, Morgan Stanley, the very same company that the County just hired, fostered a deal for the City of Indianapolis to take back its water and wastewater facilities from Veolia at a cost of $1.7 billion. The city had the second worst drinking water in the country. A grand jury investigated accusations that Veolia was skimping on staffing, water testing, maintenance and chemicals. Ironically, Veolia is one of the companies bidding for our STPs and is currently running our bus transportation. Do we really want a company with a long history of cutting corners and environmental violations running our sewage treatment plants?
Nassau County will lose its ability to protect our environment.
When private companies cut corners to increase profits, it can lead to shoddy work and deferred maintenance. Milwaukee's recent experience with sewage spills, again under Veolia, highlights this risk.
Private companies have privacy protection. They are not required to reveal their reports to the public and are not subject to Freedom of Information Requests. Again using Aqua Water as an example, we believe that our infrastructure is falling apart, yet we are unable to get maintenance and operation reports of even crisis situations such as water main breaks in the system. Once privately owned, how well will the County be able to monitor the STPs and protect our waterways from sewage leaks?
There are currently three critical research studies under way for the Western Bays. Once completed, all three studies will be used to assess the health of our Western Bays and will be used to craft a restoration plan.
The studies found high levels of ammonium (mainly from hair care products) and nitrogen (mainly from our sewage and water run-off) near Bay Park STP's outflow pipe. Serious respiratory problems are being reported from Point Lookout residents. The County Health Department admits that it could be caused by hydrogen sulfide gas emanating from seaweed decomposing at its shores. Sewage leaks in our waterways may be the reason for the increase in seaweed growth. Tertiary treatment that filters out nitrogen and an ocean outflow pipe are being considered at Bay Park to remediate our waterways. Does anyone believe that a private company will invest in such improvements if they will not bring in more profit?
The County expects to receive approximately $1 billion for the sale of our STPs. To be profitable, the new company is likely to cut corners, take in toxic hydrofracking wastewater from upstate, sewage from Suffolk, pollute our waterways and increase our sewage tax.
We cannot foresee what problems we'll face in the future. Twenty years ago, hydrofracking was not even conceived of. But at least under public control, the people could elect representatives they trust to protect the health and safety of our families and our environment.
The Crest Law of the Iroquois Confederacy states, "In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the seventh generation." It would be irresponsible for Mangano to look to fill the county's budget gap without considering what effect that decision will have on our children's children.

When Cameron Diaz recently spoke out about getting her hair chopped, we really could relate. It was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that the A-list actress spoke about the traumatic change and we admit, all four members of Grazia Team Beauty have suffered just like Cameron (does this mean we could be friends?).
"There was a little misunderstanding", she explained. "Oh I just want a bit off… and it went from here to here," gesturing to two very different hair lengths. Hands up who's had a similar dilemma with their hairdresser. Thought so.
Understandably, Miss Diaz didn't react too well to the new hair-do. "I just burst into tears and started crying and I felt so vulnerable," she said. "For a woman to all of a sudden have no hair, oh my god." We feel your pain!
To make it worse, the hairdresser in question was actually a close friend of Cameron's. Eek! "I felt really bad, she started crying, I started crying, a couple of other people started crying," Diaz said. Is anyone else reminded of that scene in Friends when Pheobe chopped Monica's hair? But all's well that ends well: "I ended up writing her a few emails assuring her I wasn't going to kill her!". Phewf!
So here's your chance to learn a lesson, ladies: when you're next at the hairdressers, be sure to be specific! Have a scroll through our gallery of Cam's finest hair moments above to really send the message home...

Be a part of WTOP's snow coverage with social media, smartphone apps or sending in a photo of the snow via email.
WASHINGTON - Snow started falling just after 2 p.m. on Friday in the District, coating the city in a light dusting.
Even though no more snow is expected to fall, the temperatures will remain below freezing until Sunday, creating slippery and icy road conditions for local commuters.
ABC7 meteorologist Matt Alto reports that some areas surrounding the Beltway saw upwards of 2 inches in Friday's afternoon snow.

Public Health in 1948: Remarkable Statistics
The first months of the National Health Service.
New low records in health statistics were set up in 1948 - a year also made notable by the inauguration of the National Health Service.
The Ministry of Health's Annual Report* for the year ended 31st March, 1949 which is published today (Friday, 31st March), records:
1. The National Health Service was inaugurated on 5th July, 1948; of its early months the Minister ( Mr. Aneurin Bevan ) says, "Since its inception the Health Service has been subjected to sustained scrutiny both at home and abroad - indeed, it has excited worldwide attention - and the demands made upon it during the first nine months of its existence have in some directions severely taxed its strength and capacity. This has been a testing time, but it has proved that the structure of the Service is generally sound and that the foundations have been securely laid."
2. The Chief Medical Officer (Sir Wilson Jameson) describes the vital statistics as "wonderful". A total death rate of 10.8 with a civilian death rate of 11.0, both the lowest on record, gave a smaller number of deaths than any year since 1930, when there were 3,000,000 fewer people in the country. Compared with 1938 (which had the lowest standardized mortality of any year before the second world war) the mortality index at all ages showed a 20 per cent decline. There were striking reductions in deaths from a number of diseases.
3. In the words of the Minister, "the last vestiges of a Poor Law system that had persisted since Elizabethan days were finally removed from the Statute Book by the National Assistance Act".
4. The number of permanent houses finished during the year to 31st March, 1949, (more than 200,000) was the highest since the war.
5. In the field of local government, the system of "block grants", which had operated since 1929, was brought to an end by the Local Government Act, 1948, which introduced "equalisation grants" in their place.
The year 1948, by its remarkable vital statistics and by the coming into force of the National Health Service, fittingly commemorated the celebrations marking the first hundred years of the Public Health Service. The first Public Health Act was passed in 1848.
The year enjoyed the sequence of a fine warm winter, a lively spring, a cool wet August and an exceptionally mild autumn. These climatic factors, and the absence of influenza, combined to make the vital statistics of the year memorable. A total death rate of 10.8 per 1,000 and a civilian death rate of 11.0, both the lowest on record, gave a smaller number of deaths than in any year since 1930, when there were 3,000,000 fewer people in the country.

My final days in Omaha filled my belly with more than just pie (coconut creme pie, mixed berry cobbler, and apple crumb mini pies to name a few). On one afternoon, Isa, John, and I took advantage of sunny skies, 70 degree temperatures, and a local falafel joint not too far from their house, Amsterdam Falafel & Kebab:
My love for pita, tahini, chickpeas, and curry made this meal a favorite during my stay in Omaha:
Falafel Sandwich!
Side of Curry Fries!
Wow. This meal was insanely delicious. I wish Portland had a vegetarian falafel joint within walking distance of my apartment. I am going to miss Omaha's vegan food offerings. Every meal was special, from the sushi, to the baguette sandwich, to the falafel and curry fries. Thank you, Isa and John, for being such wonderful hosts!

This thread is interesting.. The distro is hosted on indymedia server....big deal, regarding the developers...well they are doing a great job....who cares..what their political views are..you do not have to read it..and no one has forced you too either..
I think your comments are a bit hash...towards the developers...and Blag in general..
I am here to learn about this great distro...I will comment no further on this subject...as I cannot see any purpose in this thread
Just remember Blag developers we think you guy's are doing a fantastic job.

Hi to everybody,
I enter as guest now because i didn't have time to register... :-) maybe i am registered in too many places to take care of my accounts :-) but if I would register i would be Superficus.
So, I just wanted to say something to you on this topic, well... i consider myself a liberal, politically speaking, and i love GNU Linux, the open source concept and the whole philosophy behing these efforts. I think that blag is a great initiative, a great effort to make something useful, free and nice.
If you decide to include in your distro some links, i think that after you made the effort of creating a distro, and doing it also for political reasons, even if not only, you have the right to do it. If somebody doesn't like them, well, its easy to delete them from Firefox.
To make an issue out of not liking the links included in the browser, and start posting unpolite topics on the blag forum is pointless.
I just want to thank you for your effort, and say congratulations for getting this far. I don't use blag (it's now based on fedora 3, and i either use fedora 4 or debian-based distros) but i downloaded and tried it and it works fine. I don't have problems having links on my browser, I find them interesting and enriching, and if i disagree with one of them i don't delete it, but i use it as a valuable source of information and discussion from an alternative point of view.
Thought and discussion are always good. Otherwise life would be too simple and boring.

Notice how he still hasn't quoted me on it? ;) Geez, trolls are fun.
Also, I'd like to note that although BLAG does have some political motivations, BLAG is a great distro for every desktop user, and you don't have to be an activist to use BLAG. Of course, you already knew that. As for the comment on BLAG being hosted in the same place as indy, he's damn right! Sheesh, the BLAG IRC channel is even on irc.indymedia.org!
Just remember Blag developers we think you guy's are doing a fantastic job.
Yeppers, as always! Nobody is going to discourage the BLAG developers from producing a high quality distro.

I think this is one of the most valid criticisms of the BLAG project as a whole. I've certainly thought about it a lot.
I was tempted to base BLAG off debian in the very early days, but testers all wanted a graphical install, which at that time only anaconda provided. I also had more knowledge of RedHat than Debian, so I could create a custom distro based on RH much more quickly. In retrospect, this may have been from a too short-term vision (in that regard) as BLAG has grown more than I expected. Initially it was just being used by one group in Brixton (primarily
), but now has users from everywhere.
One non-tech reason I like to base off Fedora is it shows the stark contrast between what a corporation will provide to their users and what a non-corporate group will provide. A corporation will always produce a distro that is centered around their bottom line, even in "community"-fedora projects.
Thanks for your thoughts,
john maclean

Dear Sirs,
I have not had a virus or got any spam since since I have used your distro and it's associated tools. I am at a loss! I used to look forward to spending my Friday evenings defragging, updating and reinstalling my security tools that conflict with the system and that I paid good money for. Every six months I used to re-install the whole thing just 'cos I knew that the "registry" was a bad implementation of a good idea. (well it's poorly
Please can we have some "windows" features like lack of permissions (and protection) for critical system files, a sloppy security system and those nice cartoon characters every time I try to do something?
Oh - and can you have it so that anytime I make a minor change to the system I have to reboot the computer? I rather liked that. And pleeeeeeeeese could you let my box crash everyweek just 'cos I've opened a file that it does not understand?
I do hope that I am not asking for too much. But can you push your politics in my face? Like have your policital messages "pop up" every time I click something? I mean I never even knew what your political message was until this thread started. I was like "overthrow the .... yada-yada..." When I first came across your distro and installed your system.
I have a laptop with 40gb of hard disk space. Look how much space of mine that you have taken up with these political messages!!!
jayeola@10:04:06$ du -h .mozilla/firefox/09aukoct.default/bookmarks.html
140K .mozilla/firefox/09aukoct.default/bookmarks.html
How many bookmarks are we talking about?
jayeola@10:04:44$ cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/o0tp3p70.Default\ User/bookmarks.html |
grep http | cut -d"\"" -f2-3 | wc -l
bookmarks of information regarding all aspects of the system. Like the source code of the major apps that we use, search engines and then some.
So please can you use that tiny amount of space and replace it with something meaningfull and life enhancing, like a "value-added business portal" to an expensive service? One that locks up all the resources of my machine?
I know that this is a really long thread and you guys use most of your spare time to develop something that works, rocks and is free so you must be rather busy.
Yours Sincerely,
JOhn Maclean (jayeola)

BLAG is an excellent distro despite the political naivete' of its makers and fans.

Marxist? WTF makes you think I'm a Marxist? I'm about as far from that as you can get.
I also notice you don't make any actual argument against anything, but merely call people naive. I'll take the same level as you: Fuck you.
P.S. Perhaps I've been over busy with katrina stuff, and I'm a bit touchy, but I certainly don't need some wanker calling me naive. Buzz off.
P.P.S. Ever read the Gulag Archipelago? I have. I know damn well what totalitarian ideologies are capable of...

Yea Ive been busy with Katrina too asshole.
I was personally hit by it and dont know when I can return home, while Ive seen nothing but opportunistic shit slinging from babbling leftwing douchebags across the pond that have NO FUCKING IDEA what theyre talking about (not to mention our own).
I've also watched corrupt DNC trash run my state all 42 yrs of my life - and piss away and steal the hundreds of millions of dollars the feds have given them for flood protection.
Now I wait - exiled - thanks to them.
Forgive me for assuming youre a marxist but you sure seem to hate the same things they do and sound just as stupid (and provide unsolicited links to even bigger fucktards than yourself).

I hear about Batch and Leftwich. Where is Dennis Dixon? I know he's still on our roster?
I hear about Batch and Leftwich. Where is Dennis Dixon? I know he's still on our roster?
Cleveland Browns suck!
I don't think he is......
Dixon is not on the roster. He was not signed to a new deal this offseason. Earlier they had Troy Smith and Jerrod Johnson along with Lefty and Charlie. Dixon didn't want to be a backup anymore anyways.
Coming to a CFL/Arena League near you.... Dennis Dixon.
JJ is looking like he will be a better QB than Dixon anyways
I'd say it's time to make some QB cuts. Batch, Lefty are freaking horrid! Chuck made a couple throws but is old as dirt! Lefty was never good! I like JJ and think he could be a great back up..
Agreed on Johnson. Big guy, 6'7 and strong arm. Always need a solid backup.
Cleveland Browns suck!
Dixon didnt want to be a back-up so now his back is sitting up on his couch...

Is there anyone here that would feel more comfortable with JJ starting for an injured Ben for a playoff game in NE over Batch and Lefty?
I think that is nuts.
At best, he is a 3rd QB at this point.

1,000,000 ft on the way into church

1,000,000 ft route – click to enlarge – climbs annotated
Elevation profile for today's commute to church (click to enlarge)
On this ride into church this morning, I reached 1,000,000 ft of climbing for the year. I marked the map with a red X where I think I was at the time. I guess I must have been missing climbing while I was racing in Wisconsin because during this week I have set the following milestones:
* New shortest distance for 10,000 feet of climbing (52.3 miles)
* New shortest time for 10,000 feet of climbing (3 hours and 35 minutes)
* New weekly climbing record – 55,849 feet over 360 miles
* Plus, reaching the 1,000,000 ft mark for the year (measured from Jan 2nd)
I am winning the Studio Velo KOM competition on Strava, and here is a screenshot of the current standings showing me crossing the 1,000,000 ft mark.

The return ride after church was very hot – see temperature graph below – it was in the 90s by the end of my morning ride, too.
Temperature graph for my return ride home. VERY HOT!
Here is a screenshot of the weekly climbing leaderboard on Strava.

Here are super-hi res topo maps that I made on topocreator of the route and another one zoomed in on the Double Oak climb.
Topocreator map of the entire route – 40ft contour intervals – click to enlarge (6.6MB).
Zoomed in view of the Double Oak way climb and roller coaster section at the top. Contour intervals are 20ft. Click to enlarge
Finally, if you made it this far in the post, I post all these graphs, stats, etc… because I want to remember these things later, because I enjoy the technical aspects of making the maps, posting the blogs, calculating the stats. It certainly feels like bragging, but that's not my intention. I figured others might be interested to see details of the rides that I do (especially others not from this area who might wonder how I can climb so much in "Alabama" and people in Birmingham who would like to recreate these adventures themselves or with me – email me, let's ride!)

Florence event | Firenze Marathon 2014
When: 30 November 2014Where: Florence, Italy
The 2014 edition of international classic road race, the Florence Marathon, is celebrating it's 31st year!
Thousands of athletes and fans from all over the world participate in this annual race on the last Sunday in November. Last year, there were 9,902 participants, from 67 nations, and 9,296 finishers.
The Florence Marathon is now Italy's second-largest marathon (after Rome), and among the 20 most important in the world.
The 42 km, 195 m route takes runners past the beautiful sights that have made Florence famous worldwide: Tuscan hills and countryside, Piazza Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Parco delle Cascine, the Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza Santa Croce.
The road is entirely paved and incline-free, except for the short, slightly sloping stretch at the start - making it a fast race for the experts, and an enjoyable one for first-time marathon runners.
Participation fees cost between €35 and €70, depending on how early you sign up! Register here.

Important Alert Concerning Room Reservations:AGA has been notified by several members who stated that they have been contacted by a housing services company that claims to represent AGA to provide rooms for AGA's 2013 Operations Conference and Biennial Exhibition. AGA uses no such company for any such representation. Any statement from a housing services company that they represent AGA and are affiliated with the 2013 AGA Operations Conference and Biennial Exhibition is false.
CAUTION: Housing companies that try to sell you rooms for AGA events may not have an agreement with the hotel, may not provide refunds but only credits to be used within a limited time and on limited terms, may not disclose all of their fees up front and may require payment in advance and have substantial fees for cancellations or amendments. The Better Business Bureau and other consumer watch-dog groups have received complaints about the services some of these companies offer.
All of AGA's links to hotels are direct ones. AGA reserves a room-block for its registrants well in advance of meeting dates and negotiates advantageous room fees and cancellation policies as a benefit to members and registrants. Members and registrants use AGA's negotiated terms to enter into a direct relationship with the hotel. Bypassing this service may put you at the risk of the terms set by the housing company.
Conference Hotel:Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center6000 W. Osceola Parkway Kissimmee, FL 34746ph: 407-586-2000Group rate: $235.00* single/double occupancy per night
To make a hotel reservation click here.
Hotel reservation deadline is April 19, 2013.
UPDATE: Overflow hotel:AGA has secured a block of rooms at the nearby Omni ChampionsGate Resort to accommodate guests requiring sleeping rooms for the evening of Thursday, May 23rd. AGA will be providing complimentary shuttle transportation between the Gaylord and Omni Thursday, May 23rd from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Friday, May 25th from 6:00 a.m. to noon. AGA made every effort to increase the Thursday evening sleeping room block at the Gaylord. Unfortunately, the property is completely sold-out due to a larger group checking-in. AGA staff sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of switching hotels and are confident you will enjoy the accommodations and service at the Omni ChampionsGate. To make reservations please click here. The discounted room rate in the AGA block is $194.00. This includes the resort fee and shuttle service. Reservations must be made April 23rd.

Down here in the south, I have learned not to carve pumpkins. The nights get quiet chilly & days still get warm and that makes for a very mushy pumpkin. Yuck! This was really the first year Jonathan wanted a pumpkin, so I told him he could paint one. We had so much fun working on this. He loves being artistic.
Art & Soul by Silly Beans Scraps was the perfect choice for these LO's!

Hello members,
I was wondering if anyone would be so kind and give me their thoughts on the following.
Earlier this year I went into a local camera shop looking for a camera that would be a step up from my Panasonic compact.
I was recommended the Fuji HS20 EXR bridge camera and told that it was the "top seller" and on the face of it, it seemed to be what I was looking for so I purchased one.
To cut a long story short I am almost lost for words at how poor this camera is. The automatic setting is not worth using so I have it in the EXR mode(s) but frankly this camera is incacpable of taking a decent photo with 9/10 photos blurred, over-exposed or full of noise.
You basically try the different settings whilst photographing and hope for the best but tend to scrap 23 out of every 25 photos you take. I mostly photograph ships in the harbour so at times need quite a bit of zoom but anything over 2/5 of the zoom while hand held is a disaster.
Picture quality beyond, say, 2/3rds zoom is pathetic(even using a tripod) and makes me wonder what the point of having such a large zoom is.
Even when I try to set it on a wall for stability the LCD screen blacks out and I can't see what I'm photographing!.
Apologies for the rather negative tone of my post but I simply can't see that I should be getting such poor results, even from a bridge camera.
Could anyone suggest a better bridge camera or an entry level DSLR?. I have been doing quite a bit of research and it would seem that Canon and Nikon cameras are quite highly rated.
Sincerest thanks for your time and thoughts.

It is our goal to keep all citizens of Buncombe County informed in the fastest and most efficient way possible and in a cost effective manner. Sign up for the eZine and you'll get an email every Monday with all the latest news in Buncombe County Government.
Check out the current issue.
Welcome to the new Health and Human Services! Under the direction of the Board of Commissioners, Buncombe County formally integrated the departments of Public Health, Social Work Services, Public Assistance, Veterans Services and Parks Greenways and Recreation in September 2012. The planning for this transition began in 1992 and has been realized through a redesigned integrated service center at 40 Coxe Avenue.
What does this mean for our citizens?
It means that working mothers and fathers, the elderly, disabled, and our veterans can find easy access to coordinated services that support their ability to make better choices about their health, safety and well-being.
Working parents can find easy access to immunizations, food assistance and nutrition counseling that support the health of their children and position their children for success in school. It also means that children of elderly parents can find resources to care for their parent in a home setting, and adults accessing our family planning can get sound counseling that supports the health and stability of their family. Our integrated technology allows citizens to apply on-line or over the phone for multiple services, saving time and money.
By coordinating resources across departments in meaningful ways, we lift the futures of our community and its members.

This book provides a repertoire for Black with the ever-popular "Queen's Gambit Declined". Opening expert John Cox covers not one but two key options for Black. The Tartakower Variation is a sophisticated defence used successfully by world champions such as Kasparov, Karpov and Kramnik.
The Lasker Variation is an easy-to-learn and reliable option devised by one of the legends of the game. Cox also demonstrates how to play against White's other tries, including the Exchange Variation, Catalan and Bf4 lines. He explains in detail the typical plans and tactics adopted by both sides, whilst also tackling the tricky subject of move-order possibilities.
More regarding this book:
John Cox is an International Master from England. His previous books have received great praise, establishing him as a writer with impressive credentials.
