Using an enhanced LADAR (Laser Detection And Ranging) system, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a long-range, laser-based imaging device that can generate high-definition 3D maps of objects at distances of up to 10.5 m (35 ft). The technology could find applications in precision machining and assembly, as well as in forensics where it could map evidence non-destructively. Read More
NASA probe will reveal 3D architecture of forests from space
NASA is developing a laser-based instrument for deployment on the International Space Station that will probe the depths of Earth's forests from space in a bid to reveal more about their role in the planet's carbon cycle. After its completion in 2018, this Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar will join the likes of the Soil Moisture Active Passive satellite in studying Earth's vegetation on a global scale.

For a besieged soldier or a disaster victim, a plane dropping supplies is the most welcome sight in the world – unless the drop ends up drifting off out of reach. To help make sure that airdrops end up where they belong, the US Air Force Research Laboratory has awarded a contract to Lockheed Martin to adapt its WindTracer wind measurement system for a Precision Air Drop system to help aircrews land supplies faster and on target. Read More
Laser tech allows for longer-distance sensing
The trouble with existing 3D imaging technology is that – at the consumer level, at least – it tends to struggle with distances beyond a few feet. Put even a third of the width of a basketball court between yourself and a Microsoft Kinect sensor, for instance, and it won't pick up your movements at all. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, claim to have developed a Lidar (light radar)-based system that can remotely sense objects across distances as long as 30 feet (10 m), which could have widespread benefits in fields as diverse as entertainment, transportation, robotics, and mobile phones.

Leddar, short for LED Detection and Ranging, is a new type of detection and ranging sensor that uses LEDs to detect objects and determine their distance. While the Leddar is low resolution, it is also low cost, and it may find new applications in vehicles, traffic management, robotics and safety. Read on for our hands-on review. Read More
X-Motion system puts autonomous vehicles on the warehouse floor
As we continue to see progress made in autonomous driving technology, much of the public's interest has been preoccupied with the prospect of autonomous vehicles hitting the road. Yet six vehicles currently zipping autonomously around a Samsung warehouse in Russia's Kaluga region after being fitted with the "X-MOTION" system show that this technology will also find plenty of applications off the road.

MIT researchers have developed a new time-of-flight (TOF) 3D "nano-camera" with the ability to work with translucent objects, motion, fog, rain, and other factors in the environment that totally confuse previous TOF cameras, such as Microsoft's second-gen Kinect. The MIT Media Lab team has added these new capabilities by introducing additional information into the illuminating light beam. The resulting camera costs less than US$500 in parts. Read More
Tower of Pisa 3D-scanned in 20 mins with spring-mounted Zebedee
Researchers at Australia's national science agency, the CSIRO, have developed Zebedee, a spring-mounted 3D laser scanner and mapper capable of scanning complicated interiors in double-quick time. The researchers were able to scan the "cramped and complex" interior of the Leaning Tower of Pisa which, the CSIRO claims, has not been possible with previous 3D scanning technology. But more significantly, the researchers were able to complete the scan in under 20 minutes. Read More
Singapore to try out driverless shuttle on public roads
Should you be at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University (NTU) sometime soon, and wish to take the shuttle bus to JTC Corporation's CleanTech Park, you might find yourself in a vehicle that drives itself. Plans call for just such an autonomous shuttle to start running the 2-km (1.2-mile) route, as a real-world test of driverless public transportation. Read More
MIT researchers have developed a new technique that can be used to accurately predict the annual yield of a photovoltaic solar array located anywhere on the planet, taking into account local climate, panel orientation, and obstructions from nearby buildings. As a proof of concept, the scientists have mapped out the 17,000 rooftops of Cambridge, Massachusetts and created a user-friendly web interface that residents can use to look up their homes and get an accurate projection of the cost and return on investment of placing a PV panel over their heads.

Committee: Enterprise, Trade and Investment
Session: 2013/2014
Date: Thursday, 27 February 2014
ISBN: Only available online
Mandate Report Number: 2011/15
1. The Committee for Enterprise, Trade & Investment is a Statutory Committee established in accordance with paragraphs 8 and 9 of the Belfast Agreement, Section 29 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 and under Assembly Standing Order 46. The Committee has a scrutiny, policy development and consultation role with respect to the Department for Enterprise, Trade & Investment and has a role in the initiation of legislation.The Committee has power to:
Background3. The Committee considered the Assembly Consent Motion regarding the Public Bodies (Abolition of the National Consumer Council and Transfer of the Office of Fair Trading's Functions in Relation to Estate Agents Etc.) Order 2014 at its meeting on 30th January 2014.Committee Consideration4. As the Committee had scheduled an oral briefing from the Consumer Council on that date members asked the Consumer Council to provide its views in advance of the meeting on the provisions contained therein. The Consumer Council informed the Committee that: "The Public Bodies (Abolition of the National Consumer Council and Transfer of the Office of Fair Trading's Functions in relation to Estate Agents etc) Order 2014 is the legislative vehicle that abolishes Great Britain's National Consumer Council as a non departmental public body and transfers relevant functions to Citizens Advice, Citizens Advice Scotland and, in respect of the consumer representation role for postal services in Northern Ireland, the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland. This includes giving the Consumer Council the power to acquire information from a range of regulators, businesses and any person that supplies goods or services in the course of business in respect of post and mail markets. In its response to DETI's consultation on Future Consumer Representation Arrangements the Consumer Council has asked for this same power to be extended across all of its remit. The Consumer Council has worked closely with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills on the development of the draft legislation and is supportive of it.5. The Committee agreed to seek clarification from the Department regarding the planned remit of the Consumer Council in relation to the Order and whether the Consumer Council's remit will be the same as other GB consumer bodies.6. The Committee considered a response from the Department at its meeting on 13th February 2014 (Appendix 1). The Department stated that, under the Public Bodies Act 2011 there is no scope to amend the GCCNI's existing functions. This would mean that, other than for postal services, the Consumer Council's existing powers will remain unchanged. The response went on to state that, any change in the Council's existing powers to align these more generally with the consumer representation bodies in GB would require primary legislation to be passed in the Assembly. 7. The Department further informed the Committee that, as part of the review of consumer representation arrangements in Northern Ireland the Department will consider whether any amendments to the powers associated with such representation are required and which body or bodies should exercise them.8. Having considered the evidence, the Committee was content for the Department to proceed in seeking the Assembly's consent to the Public Bodies (Abolition of the National Consumer Council and Transfer of the Office of Fair Trading's Functions in Relation to Estate Agents Etc.) Order 2014.

"American Idol" contestants should be thankful that they have caring, sharing Ellen DeGeneres on the panel now and not Katy Perry.
The singer was a guest judge for auditions to be featured on next season's show, and she didn't pull any punches with the hopeless hopefuls.
"We all have friends or people that we've known that maybe they wanted to be a rock star, or be this or that, and no one ever told them that they can't," she says. "Like, 'It's just like you weren't born with pitch, so it's not going to happen and someone needs to tell you that because 15 years later you've wasted all this time and when you could have been a doctor.'"

- Nice Quiet Birthday DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/19/2014The food was very good and the service was wonderful. It was nice to be able to enjoy a nice quiet dinner without a lot of noise! The only thing I thought was odd was when the entre was served it was just the "meat" on the big white plate nothing else. It just looked really lonely-I would suggest that they add potatoes/vegies or put the meat on a smaller plate. (potatoes/vegies are pretty inexpensive for the restaurant and would certainly dress the plate up a little) Other wise it was good/but a little priceySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014We went to Christopher's for my birthday and had a great experience. Every staff member who helped us wished me a happy birthday. The server was awesome, not pushy or demanding. Let us take our time to decide on the menu. Very quick on refilling our drinks. Professional and punctual. My husband and I ordered the Rib-eye, mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. Everything was exceptional. Best steak I've ever had!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over cooked steak, pricing an issueOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/12/2014I am not incredibly particular with my steak choices and my steak was very good. However, it was clearly over cooked. Not something I would normally complain about but for the price that was paid I would expect better. As with most high end steakhouses although the food quality was good it still did not warrant the price.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Our server was great, the food was good, but management wasn't very helpful and downright rude. I don't know if we'll be going back.
- Quiet Romantic AmbianceDisappointedDined on 10/31/2014We dined at Christopher's 0n 10/31. I had a ($35) Living Social voucher for $70 worth of dining. The ambiance is wonderful and the service was excellent. I have to say that my husband and I were a little disappointed in the food. We both ordered the NY Strips, with one side and a salad. We were each given one roll. The salad, roll and sides were good. Our steaks had so much gristle running through them that you could not get one bite without some. They were cooked correctly and the flavor was good but not exceptional. For the price they charge, it should have been exceptional. It was a nice change of scenery but we will not be returning any time soon. After using the $70 voucher our bill with 20% tip was still almost $100.Special Features:
- Always goodsheff511Dined on 10/29/2014We were pleased as usual with the food and service. It remains one of our favorite places to eat and we'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced for the quality.MeatAndPotatoesGuyVIPDined on 10/27/2014While our steaks were tasty, they were not of the caliber I'm accustomed to for food in this price range. The same could be said for the appetizers, side dishes and desserts. Service was adequate but not particularly impressive. Lovely decor. Perfect for a steakhouse. In total, I much prefer the food at Ruth Chris and Flemings.Special Features:
- A lovely anniversary celebration!VoltzDined on 10/26/2014It had been years since I dined at Christopher's, and this was my first time in their new digs. The room is gorgeous! And it's a huge improvement over the old location in the Peery Hotel. Everything was spot-on once we made it inside the front doors. Both the hostess and our server were personable and totally on top of their game. One important tip: DO NOT head down the stairs just past the sign pointing to the front. We did, and got to walk past a sleeping homeless dude before coming upon a locked door. The entrance is street-level, and on the west side of the building.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Over all the food was very good. The only thing that wasn't so great was that we waited at the door for 15 minutes and no one greeted us and no one seated us. We did have a reservation and showed up 15 minutes early. But we finally had to walk around to get someones attention to seat us. If I am going to pay $50 a plate for food I expect the service to be as top of the line as the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty decent date nightliketoeatDined on 10/24/2014We came in for a much needed date night last Friday. Restaurant was very nice, elegant, felt like we had a little privacy though it was just a regular table (had to be moved due to cold air blowing right on me). Cost a little over $100 for an appetizer, two small steaks and two sides. My food, chipotle steak shoulder and mashed potatoes was really good. The pork belly and grits appetizer was superb. My husbands new your strip was really fatty, could only eat about half of it, and not very good at all! The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The piano guy played pretty decent and was enjoyable until he started singing with the songs he played. Then we were praying that he would take a break because that was torture. Overall very nice restaurant.Special Features:
- Nice for special occasionsNjoyLifeDined on 10/24/2014Friendly and great service. Food choices good. Everything good with exception that steak was ordered medium and came to table rareMy fault. Should have sent it back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Food, Horrible ServicememilydDined on 10/17/2014The food was divine. Too bad it took about 50 minutes before we even received our appetizer and another half hour after that before we got our main courses (we came in at 8 pm and left the restaurant at 10 pm!). On top of that our server wasn't very friendly. Two of the people I was dining with opted to share the Prix Fixe meal, but our server neglected to tell us that sharing meals was against their policy and that they'd be charging an additional $10 if they did. We didn't find that out until the bill came. When we asked the waiter about it he was rude and acted like we were making a big deal when we were just curious what the charge was for. I really loved both things I ate, but I doubt I'll be returning.Special Features:
- As good as usualsheff511Dined on 10/17/2014The food was up to Christopher's usual standard, which is excellent. We will go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A special dinner before the theatre1maddogDined on 10/13/2014Great restaurant near several theatres in downtown Salt Lake City. Food was outstanding, service was very good. Pricing was as expected for a high end steak house. Great ambiance (nice jazz background music).Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/12/2014The service was excellent. a wonderful place to go for a romantic night out or a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentSkakanakaDined on 10/10/2014Extremely accommodating staff. In my reservation I mentioned it was the first night of our honeymoon, and they went out of their way to give us a secluded table, an even a complimentary dessert. Food was excellent, original, and high quality. Great service, will definitely patronize them again.Special Features:
- Great food, service at ChristophersShainGDined on 10/4/2014My wife and I went there Saturday evening, reservation for 6 p.m., and the place wasn't that busy from where we were sitting. Another side of the restaurant was filled with patrons, so I assume we were placed in a quiet area to celebrate our special occasion. Our waitress was kind and answered all our questions regarding the menu. She mentioned the special from the beginning, which was what I ordered. The wine menu is excellent for the types of food they serve, although I didn't order any. We weren't interrupted much throughout our dinner, other than to refill drinks. We both enjoyed the food, which was well-cooked, and the ambiance of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great all around experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/4/2014Early dinner special is a great deal and if you like mushrooms?? You have to try the stuffed mushroom appitizer! Amazing flavor :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but service was offAdamVIPDined on 9/26/2014The food was decent though not overwhelmingly wonderful. The service seemed to be having an off night. I had to ask for silverware on two occasions after having it cleared. Not a big deal, but when you pay a premium for a meal, there is an expectation of excellent service. The two did not match this time. We waited longer than typical for our cocktails as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014When we travel we always try to eat somewhere we can't eat at home. This was a tremendous experience. The food was excellent...the staff very attentive....and we came away happy. I highly recommend.Special Features:
- Won't be returningNCRoadWarriorDined on 9/26/2014We were looking for a nice place to celebrate my a birthday. The interior decor of the restaurant is very nice. Unfortunately, the A/C vents are above the tables which are located along the wall which made it uncomfortable (the party next to us had to be relocated). And the presence of fruit flies was annoying. They did try to accommodate gluten & dairy allergies. But, for the price, the food was nothing special (the seared ahi tuna was OK, the scallops were undercooked and the halibut was dry and lacking flavor). The best item was the brussel sprouts. The service was very disappointing. As far as I could tell, our waiter was only serving two parties while were were they. He was not very attentive nor visible. We won't be returning.
- Sophisticated diningKrazykayDined on 9/25/2014Went here for my birthday. Very nice ambiance, fabulous menu. Desserts were divine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing handling of foodDesidinerDined on 9/22/2014All good items were transformed and the Brussels sprouts on the sides was out of the worldSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointedDined on 9/19/2014We waited about 5~7 min to be greeted by our waiter. And our food took a long time as well.Special Features:
- Rude WaitressTCSLCDined on 9/18/2014Saw this restaurant being featured in the Dineoround and decide to take my brother and his wife here for their first time. My partner and I have had good experiences here in the past for anniversaries/Valentine's day which made this experience very odd. Because a couple of us were going to try the $15 dineoround deal, we were told to leave the table we had been seated at and that had already been prepared (with menu showing the $15 deal), and go to the outside patio (and was asked to grab our waters and menus as well to take outside). Apparently that deal is for outside or bar seating only. We left for the patio with the inside's staff and other guests staring at us which as one would imagine was uncomfortable.
- Great Local SteakhouseJohnVIPDined on 9/15/2014Salt Lake appears to enjoy their steakhouses, but many of them are inexpensive chains...they do have some nice high end chains such as Ruth Chris, but what I like about Christopher's is it's a locally owned and operated steakhouse in a beautiful old building downtown SLC. The service was excellent, ask for Seth. The food was good and the steak was cooked to perfection. It was medium rare, yet had no blood and was as tender as any steak I've had. Excellent quality. If trying to decide on a steak house in SLC, pick this one, you won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- Excellent Dinner!BillncindyDined on 9/14/2014Great dining choice for myself and two friends during Dine O Round. We all ordered the lobster crowned filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. It came with the lettuce wedge and parmesian mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and the service was great. I had the creme brûlée for desert and it was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Great EveningmiataxDined on 9/14/2014I am not a paid reviewer. My wife and I are from California and were visiting Salt Lake City for an anniversary when we went to Christopher's for an early dinner. The experience was wonderful. I was awed by the interior design of the establishment. The food was outstanding as was the service. We shared the early three-course dinner and the cost was less than $30.00. We could not have had a better dinner if we had paid four times that amount. We ordered our filet medium rare, and it arrived more on the rare side, but it turned out to be perfect. We highly recommend Christopher's if you want good food at a reasonable price and an early (prior to 6:00 pm) dinner.Special Features:
- cold steakcoldDined on 9/13/2014so i went to christophes on a sat. night thinking the steaks and services with be upto par with Ruth Chris steak.... WRONG.. the steaks were cold had to send them back the sides were cold (did not send them back) the service was ok, not the best or what you would expect from this kind of restaurant.. so after a 300 dollar dinner ... i would not recommend christophers at all ... I think if they want to stay in play with the other steak house they better look re-map their game plan.
- Expensive and darkMarcandMayVIPDined on 9/13/2014They weren't ready for us when we arrived for our reservation even though I included a note that my parents were in their 90's, in fact it was my Mother's 92nd Birthday. Everything is a la carte so my steak came with one roll. My parents had coffee with their dessert and I know they would have appreciated the cup being topped off at least once. It is a beautiful room but very dark and hard to read the menus. If there was any specials that night--no one mentioned id it.Special Features:
- Attentive serviceMarathonManVIPDined on 9/12/2014Jocylyn provided great service and recommendations. We will definitely return when we are in Salt Lake City. We enjoyed the "early dining" three course option, a great value. Our steaks were prepared perfectly, one medium rare and one medium. I was a little reluctant to order steak based on reviews I read from other members. Frankly, I don't agree with their reviews. We've dinned at most of the great steak houses throughout the USA. No need to drop names; we all know the establishments on that elite list. While we've had steaks that were slightly better, we've also paid more than twice as much. In the end, a good steak at a great price equals a great value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- price to experience = ZEROOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014I called the restaurant yesterday to report the poor experience we had. That call matched our dinning experience Saturday. Too Bad! - the steak was small compared to what it should have been - the flavor was maybe a 7 compared to Flemings or Ruth's Chris. Had better at Texas Roadhouse at 1/2 the price. Aged? It didn't taste like it. - the butter was refrigerator / odor stained - the pecan salad had NO pecans - the wedge salad came with 2 table spoons of dressing - the fresh cracked pepper was never offered & was asked for
- PricesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014I see you have a plac reserved above to give ratings for food, service and ambiance but how about price? I think the prices are a little high for ala carte. Other than that everything was wonderful. Thank you, MacSpecial Features:
- Fantastic OverallKimPDined on 8/22/2014Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was perfect. Cam was the perfect mix of attentive, yet allowed us to enjoy each other's company and our meal. My son and I each loved the filet mignon, my husband ate every bit of his ribeye and the brie appetizer was to die for. We are from Los Angeles and will definitely return when we are in town to visit our college student. Would highly recommend.Special Features:
- Average steakhouseSaltlakeguyDined on 8/22/2014The restaurant was in a fantastic location of downtown Salt Lake City. It's close to everything in the city and in a very cool building. We went on a Friday evening and made a reservation to plan ahead. Well, when we arrived (at 6:30) the restaurant was not busy at all but the hostess insisted on seating all guests in the same section. We were seated next to a party of 3 and a small child. Now, if I'm going to pay $46 for prine steak I certainly don't want to sit next to a table with a poorly manner child. The atmosphere was fantastic. Our sever was just ok. Really didn't make us feel special. Checked on us once. Took a while to get water. I don't understand how a slc restaurant gets away with average service with high prices.Special Features:
- The meat was amazing!happywhenfullDined on 8/22/2014I haven't found a finer steak in Utah...and I know my steakhouses pretty well. Thanks Christopher's! I can't wait for my next dinner with you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SaltlakecityDined on 8/18/2014The food was good but the service was very slow. We arrived at 7:30 and wasn't finished until 10:45. One steak was so tough, the guest told them to take it back and they didn't bring here a replacement. 3 guests did not get their side dishes. We were not pleased with a dish and the waiter said they would take it off the bill. However, the manager came over and said no, that they would not take it off the bill. Someone in our party said that they would take the food home because she couldn't bare to see it thrown in the trash and the manager said that is why they can't take it off the bill. The three people that were splitting the meal had nothing to eat but side dishes because of this. They cannot handle groups.
- Anniversary DinnerjqlardinersDined on 8/17/2014We went to celebrate our anniversary! They did not disappoint!! The food was delicious and the service was great!! We ordered the porterhouse for 2 and it did take a long time to cook!! Not their fault!! We had to kind of eat in a hurry because we had tickets to the Capital Theater and we thought we had planned accordingly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014One of our favorite restaurants and steakhouses. The filet is one of the best I've had and my wife loves the cod.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service GREAT, meat not so great.bsarkadyDined on 8/16/2014We went to Christopher's to celebrate my wife's birthday. The service was fantastic. The food other than the meat was very good. The meat was not cooked to our liking. We ordered medium well and medium and part of the meat (served in three pieces) was basically raw. I am not the type to complain so we did not. Probably will not go again.Special Features:

Classifier calibration with Platt's scaling and isotonic regression
Calibration is applicable in case a classifier outputs probabilities. Apparently some classifiers have their typical quirks - for example, they say boosted trees and SVM tend to predict probabilities conservatively, meaning closer to mid-range than to extremes. If your metric cares about exact probabilities, like logarithmic loss does, you can calibrate the classifier, that is post-process the predictions to get better estimates.
This article was inspired by Andrew Tulloch's post on Speeding up isotonic regression in scikit-learn by 5,000x.
Vowpal Wabbit eats big data from the Criteo competition for breakfast
The Criteo competition is about ad click prediction. The unpacked training set is 11 GB and has 45 million examples. While we're not sure if it qualifies as the mythical big data, it's quite big for Kaggle standards.
Unless you have an adequate machine, it will be difficult to process it in memory. Our solution is to use online or mini-batch learning, which deals with either one example or a small portion of examples at a time. Vowpal Wabbit is especially well suited for the contest for a number of reasons.

Windows Experience Index for Acer Ferrari 1000
I just wanted to follow-up on something people have been discussing. On my original post about the Acer Ferrari 1000 laptop with Windows Vista that was sent to me, I included a screenshot of the computer information section of the control panel. eWeek's Microsoft Watch and OakLeaf Systems both blogged that on that screenshot they noticed that the laptop had a low Windows Experience Index score of 2.8. In the comments of that post Zen suggested that I click on the "Update my score" to see if that rating would improve. I went ahead and tried that, but the score remained 2.8. I've included a screenshot of the full Windows Experience Index breakdown for those who are interested.
The Windows Experience Index measures the capability of your computer's hardware and software configuration and expresses this measurement as a number called a base score. A higher base score generally means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a lower base score, especially when performing more advanced and resource-intensive tasks.
Each hardware component receives an individual subscore. Your computer's base score is determined by the lowest subscore. For example, if the lowest subscore of an individual hardware component is 2.6, then the base score is 2.6. The base score is not an average of the combined subscores.
You can use the base score to confidently buy programs and other software that are matched to your computer's base score. For example, if your computer has a base score of 3.3, then you can confidently purchase any software designed for this version of Windows that requires a computer with a base score of 3 or lower.
For more information, check out Nick White's Windows Vista blog post: "Windows Experience Index: An In-Depth Look"
Windows Vista Laptop Auction Traffic
I though some you server geeks might be interested in seeing our Munin graph for Apache accesses during the last 24 hours to get an idea of the kind of traffic being generated by the Windows Vista laptop auction for EFF post. Xeni posted the story to Boing Boing around 1pm yesterday. Next it hit the top of the front page of digg at around 8:30pm last night (that's the big spike on the graph). Then at about 1am this morning, CowboyNeal posted it to Slashdot. Also a fair amount of traffic is also coming in from Groklaw, Daring Fireball and Linux Today.

Windows Vista Laptop on eBay, Proceeds Going To EFF
So regarding my infamous Acer Ferrari 1000 Windows Vista laptop (one of several sent to bloggers which are stirring up a quite a bit of controversy), I think the best thing to do at this point is auction it off on eBay and donate the proceeds from the auction to one of my favorite non-profits, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
Honestly, I'm not really the right person to do a proper review of Windows Vista and at this point, it is still unclear why I was even selected to receive it, not to mention the fact that there has been quite a bit of inconsistency regarding what Microsoft, AMD and Edelman wanted people to do with the laptop after they were done testing it. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate being included, but now I think it's time to move on. I'll purchase the Windows Vista upgrade when it comes out as I had originally planned on doing (here's more on how I use Windows).
I'm starting the auction today (in the US only) and it will end in 7 days on January 4th. This will give me some more time to test out the laptop some more and see what Windows Vista is like, before it is sold to someone who will really benefit from having it, possibly even someone who will be able to give it a proper review.
Here is the eBay auction.
So why am I choosing EFF as the recipient? They are an amazing 16 year old member supported, nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that has been fighting hard to help defend digital rights and freedom. I've asked attorneys at EFF for free advice on numerous occasions and most recently Jason Schultz helped me out with the whole Michael Crook false DMCA claim situation, which ultimately lead to EFF's lawsuit against him. This is my way of saying thanks to EFF and to help support them in their continuing efforts.
To sweeten the deal, Laughing Squid will cover the shipping costs and throw in a Laughing Squid t-shirt and stickers.
Brian Solis has donated a Cruise FE Sling bag to be included with the laptop.
Here's some more coverage on the auction:
I'll announce the winner of the auction here on January 4th. Happy bidding!
UPDATE 1: Here are what some of the other bloggers are doing with their Windows Vista laptops. The majority of them have decided to keep theirs.
UPDATE 2: In less than 24 hours, the auction has already passed the $3000 mark. It looks like I'm going to be able to present EFF with a pretty sizable donation.
UPDATE 3: There seems to be quite a bit of misinformation floating around regarding this issue, especially on digg and Slashdot. As I mentioned in my original post on the laptop, the only communication I received about this was an email from Edelman (I have never been contacted by Microsoft regarding this laptop). The email stated that Microsoft was sending me a "present" with "no strings attached" (those were the exact words used in the email). They did not include any instructions at all regarding what to do with the laptop. Also, I did not receive the same email as the other bloggers, including the follow-up email that was sent by Microsoft to Marshall Kirkpatrick asking him to return or give away the laptop. I have asked Edelman for an explanation regarding this inconstancy, but have not yet received one. So just to be clear, I was never sent any kind of instructions on what to do with the laptop and I did not sign anything, including an NDA.
UPDATE 4: A bidding war has started on the auction and has drove the price up over $20,000. We have had some fraudulent bids already on this auction, so we are currently looking into these as well. Jonathan Eric Rosen of ReliaBid has offered up their services at no charge to help reduce the the possibly of non-paying bidders.
UPDATE 5: Ok, the two fraudulent bidders who took the auction to $20,000 have been removed. The auction is now proceeding normally.
UPDATE 6: Per eBay's guidelines for charity listings, I have updated the auction with a letter from EFF stating that they will be the recipients of the proceeds from the auction.
UPDATE 7: Sheyenne York has won the laptop auction on eBay and over $3450 will be donated to EFF.
Update on Windows Vista Laptop Blogger Controversy
Earlier this week, Microsoft & AMD via the PR firm Edelman, sent me and several other bloggers an Acer Ferrari 1000 laptop with Windows Vista as a "present" with "no strings attached" (that's the wording that they used in the email they sent me). There has been quite a bit of controversy related to this issue.
Just to be clear, I never had any intention on keeping this laptop. I'm a Mac user and open source person and I've actually been in the process of purging all of my old PC's. I use still Windows, but mostly for troubleshooting hosting issues with our Windows customers (I run a small web hosting company), IE compatibility testing for our websites, to try out Windows only betas and to play the occasional Windows only game. The way I run Windows XP now is with Parallels Desktop for Mac or Boot Camp and I will do the same with Windows Vista. I plan on purchasing the Windows Vista upgrade for our company like I have in the past with previous versions. Regarding the Acer Ferrari 1000 laptop, I will be unloading it in an interesting fashion. Stay tuned.
PR blogger Brian Solis wrote a great post about this issue over on PR 2.0. Jeremy Pepper of POP! PR also has a write-up about the ethical implications. Both are from the perspective of bloggers who work in public relations. I'm still curious to see what Tara Hunt think about all of this.
UPDATE: I've decided to auction off the laptop on eBay and donate the proceeds to EFF.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Transportation options are expanding for residents of downtown Orlando.
Officials this week unveiled a car-share program on the same day that potential customers got a sneak peak of the SunRail commuter trains.
Under the car-share program operated by Hertz, Orlando residents can rent cars on an hourly basis. Rates start around $8 an hour depending on the vehicle.
Residents will be able to choose from 12 cars at six locations throughout downtown.
Meanwhile, central Florida's SunRail commuter train debuts next year.
Transportation officials say the car-share program will allow residents who use the commuter train to run errands in a car during the day while they're at work, if they need it.

This classic South African dessert capitalizes on a moist texture and a rich, intoxicating flavor. Pudding is something of a misnomer; it's actually a cake by American standards. Be sure to choose good-quality brandy, as it makes a real difference in the flavor of the cake.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 7x11-inch baking pan and set aside.
Place the dates and pecans, if using, in a small bowl and add the boiling water. Stir in the baking soda and salt and let the mixture sit until cool.
Meanwhile, place the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and allspice, and beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the butter-egg batter and mix to combine at low speed. Add the date-pecan mixture and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is set in the center, firm to the touch, and the edges have begun to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 40 minutes.
While the cake is baking, prepare the sauce. Combine the water, 1 cup of sugar, and butter in a small pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the mixture turns syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool for 10 minutes before stirring in the brandy and vanilla.
Remove the cake from the oven and pour the sauce over the hot cake. Let the cake sit until the sauce has soaked in. To serve, cut into squares and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.

Until recently, I've never really considered how much of what you need to start and maintain a garden can be acquired for free or nearly free.
But a few years back, I challenged myself to see if I could create an organic garden from scratch on a total budget of $25 or less.
The premise was that I was acting as a brand-new gardener, with absolutely no gardening-related equipment in my possession.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how far you can stretch that almighty dollar when you put your mind to it.
Take starting seeds, for example. Rather than buying expensive commercial products, I learned to improvise using common household items, like reusing pizza boxes as seed-starting trays.
So in celebration of another fast-approaching season of playing in the dirt, here is a partial list of ideas to get you started on your most frugal garden yet.
Repurpose or recycle. When you start thinking creatively, you'll be amazed at the amount of things you discover that can be used in place of store-bought items. For example, I just returned from two grocery stores. Both donated large clear plastic cake domes with a base. These make perfect mini-greenhouses (to fit over those pizza-box seed-starting trays), and they'll last for years. If I had purchased the real thing, I would have spent about $5 each.
Social media. Facebook and, especially, Twitter have been a gold mine for me in sourcing goods for my $25 garden. I've tapped into a vast network of talented, giving people who want to help you succeed (or seed, in my case). I've had an outpouring of offers from seeds to supplies. One new Twitter friend even provided free hand-painted plant markers! I treasure them still.
Garage sales. Just in case you're not a fan of the online world, consider neighborhood garage sales. As much as you need a grow light or nice shovel, someone in your neighborhood is ready to make a deal.
Local government. Many city, county or other municipalities offer free compost for the taking. Some offer rain barrels and helpful seminars on gardening. These services are almost always free or well within even a cheapskate's budget.
Organize your own swap. Local events provide the ideal opportunity to swap seeds, tools, plants and supplies. Schools, churches and civic groups are great places to organize these events. Not only are you able to trade for free, you'll meet some wonderful people and recycle many of those items you're ready to part with.
Online seed swaps. There are many organizations and groups across the country that facilitate seed-swapping.
The National Gardening Association (garden.org) has a free online service for this, and hyperlocavore.com is a worthy grass-roots effort that exemplifies the spirit of giving and sharing as it continues to build a network of members.
Search online for seed swaps for more options.
Agricultural bulletins and classifieds by state. Many regions or states have an online or printed version of their agricultural news.
It includes a classified section that lists people willing to mail you seeds, merely for the price of a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The offerings are amazing.
Search online using the term agricultural bulletins by state.

The New York Sun
NEW YORK — The police commissioner is hoping that police recruits nervous about upcoming exams on criminal procedure and penal law will relax and listen to their iPods.
In an effort to make studying easier on the more than 900 recruits, who must also master tests for strength, agility, and community relations before graduation on December 27, the police department is handing out iPods stocked full of coursework. The iPods will allow the police hopefuls to study without lugging around heavy textbooks.
"Now a recruit can watch a class on 'search and seizure' while going home on the subway," the commissioner, Raymond Kelly, said yesterday.
The iPods will have video downloads of classes taught during the semester, except for those including security sensitive information, police said.Copyright 2007 The New York Sun

Bike sharing has benefits
Studies show that bike sharing can have economic impact on cities
Published: November 6, 2013
All summer long, we listened to politicians debating the economic-development merits of a new soccer stadium for downtown Orlando. When the Orange County Commission voted in favor of supporting the project with tax money collected as part of our tourist tax dollars, everyone (save for a handful of detractors) celebrated it as a huge win for the city, despite concerns that stadiums are a questionable investment – they're fun and exciting, certainly, but they often cost cities as much money as they bring in.
But there's another program being considered for Orlando, receiving comparatively little fanfare, that won't cost the city much but could be a big win for downtown: bike sharing. Studies show that the simple program, which allows users to rent bikes from street-side racks for short-term use, could improve real-estate values, boost retail revenues and improve biking safety.
According to the Economist, studies show that in cities where bike-sharing programs exist, rents tend to be higher closer to bike-sharing stations and bike paths. People shop more at retail outlets located near bike-sharing stations, and they tend to stay longer. Bike-sharing also opens up areas of a city that aren't otherwise served by public transportation, opening the door to more development and activity. The New York Times reported in June that bike-sharing programs often lead to safer bicycling conditions in cities that have them because city officials have even more reason to consider ordinances that tend to cyclists' needs.
According to Orlando City public information officer Cassandra Lafser, on Oct. 21 the City Council approved the rankings of the companies that bid on the contract to provide bike-sharing in Orlando. She says that Cyclehop LLC was the "number one" rated company, and the council must next negotiate a contract with Cyclehop, which will then go before the council again for final approval. She says that is likely to happen "by January, if not sooner." The first phase of the bike-sharing program will include 20 bike-sharing stations and a total of 200 bikes that have baskets, lights and safety bells. The goal is to have the program up and running by next summer.

Disk Management display of partitions...
this is just a trivial/idle query...
why does Disk Management identify logical drives as being "primary" partitions? apparently I have three "primary" partitions on the internal, and having tried to create an extended partition for my new external instead have ended up with two primary partitions...apparently.
have I done something wrong?
edit: oh, and can I somehow obtain the option to make it FAT32, not just NTFS or exFAT?

Well, you have a somewhat strange setup there. Your "S" partition on Disk1 ended up to be an "active" partition. Do you have an OS installed there? - which I doubt because it is an external. If not, you should make it inactive. Your boot partition is the small 100MB partition on Disk0. Do not touch that unless you do not want to boot any more - LOL.
On Disk0 you have 3 primaries and one extended/logical (the latter was apparently defined by you). That is OK. You can now define more logical drives on Disk0.
The first 3 partitions on Disk0 come from your manufacturer. They always make those primaries although it would only be required for the active (the 100MB) partition and maybe the recovery partition. No idea why they also make C active whilst they have a seperate boot partition. Maybe out of tradition.
For manipulating the disks, I recommend this program - especially the bootable CD version. You can do more with it than with Disk Management.

Disk Manager seems to by default decide to make one active. I had no idea what it meant or if it mattered.
and I had no intention of messing with Disk 0 -- I had thought it was fine. I asked someone else to set it up for me, with a primary and two logicals. I don't know what those tiny system partitions are all about, I'd never seen them before (since only the three desired partitions show up on My Computer).
the main reason I have three partitions is because I want the data safe/separate from the O/S.
Is the distinction between C and D not such a setup (both being primary, rather than one primary and the other extended like E is)?

Windows 7x64 Home Premium SP1
Here is a screenshot of my PC with 2 external HDD attached.
I,K are a WD. F is a Seagate and note it is active. I've been curious but too lazy to figure out why. The fact that the boot disk 0 has the correct first active partition is all that matters.
|My System Specs

1. The tiny partition is something new that they introduced with Windows 7 as boot (active) partition. You cannot see it in "Computer" because it has no drive letter - and that is OK. There are certain advantage to have a seperate boot partition (e.g. for double booting) but there are also a few complications (e.g. with imaging).
2. You do not "need to" create more partitions on Disk0 - but you have the option.
3. A seperate data partition is a great idea. Here is a little tutorial I made: Data Partition Skip the shrinking and partition creation part because you already have a partition.

Reina squinted down at her notebook, unable to understand why she couldn't see her handwriting. Blinking, she raised her head, suddenly realizing that it had grown dark while she was writing. She closed the notebook and stood up. Now that she was aware of the time, she was also aware of her hunger.
On her way home, Reina stopped at the teashop. It was too late to cook. She placed and order with Yun, then frowned and continued, "Actually, I think I'll take two of everything. I don't know if Mako ate."
"Oh, Mako was in here earlier," Yun said. "He treated Lillian to a meal."
"Lillian," Reina repeated. "I see...well, I guess I'll just take one of everything, then."
Mako was still out when Reina came home. She propped her notebook on the table and read while she ate. She was so absorbed in her notes, that she didn't notice that Mako had returned home. When he said her name, she jumped and her notebook fell over. As she grabb
