Turk continues in part II of his KWN interview: Over the past two weeks the LBMA has been conducting a survey of market participants that trade physical silver. They are taking this step in response to the decision to end the daily silver fix.
The LBMA said: "In view of the recent announcement by the London Silver Market Fixing Ltd., it is important to gather the views of the global market to find a solution that meets the needs of market users around the world. The launch of the survey is an integral part of this process."....

"The LBMA reported that more than 250 people responded to its survey, which ended Friday. Here is my response to the key questions the LBMA posed....
"1. Is the current silver price discovery method sufficient?
The market for silver derivatives dominates price discovery for physical silver, which explains why gold and silver have been in backwardation more often than not since July 2013. This backwardation is proof positive of the abnormal influence of silver derivatives on the pricing structure, as is the fact that commitments to deliver silver in the aggregate far exceed the annual new supply; they even exceed available above-ground supplies. In this regard, an analysis of U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data shows that futures derivatives of commodities such as corn or soybeans do not exceed annual supply. Backwardation in gold in theory is impossible because it would mean participants are passing up the free arbitrage. Given that silver is a gold substitute in that at present 66 ounces of silver provide the same safe-haven characteristics as one ounce of gold (that is, money outside the banking system), backwardation in silver is impossible too, yet backwardation has prevailed on and off for months. That the LBMA 18 months ago stopped reporting SIFO shows how artificial the price curve is for silver. Back then the LBMA stated in effect that customers were unable to transact at the SIFO rate being quoted, which meant that paper pricing was unrealistic because sellers of paper were unable to commit to physical delivery at the prices being posted (that is, posted but not true dealing quotes). If silver derivatives did not dominate the pricing structure, the price of physical silver would be much higher. A similar situation prevails in gold, but is not as extreme (that is, prices in gold are not as unrealistically low as they are in silver).
2. What new improvements would you like to see/recommend?
There are two very different silver markets. One is for physical silver, which is a tangible asset of limited availability. The other one is for paper silver, which includes derivatives of all sorts that can be issued in essentially unlimited supply, meaning that it is impossible for ALL sellers of these derivatives to meet their commitments to deliver physical silver if called on to do so. The paper silver market is in effect a fractional reserve system, which obviously could result in adverse systemic consequences for banks and other participants should a silver squeeze occur (as it did in September 1979 to January 1980). These two silver markets need to be clearly delineated for the benefit of market participants, and the short side of the paper silver market needs to be controlled with rigid governors to impose discipline on the quantity of paper issued. If the prices of silver along the curve (that is, spot or forward) in these two different markets are to intersect as they do now, the shorts in the paper market need to prove that they can deliver physical metal. Doing so would improve the accuracy of any price discovery in the silver market by making spot and forward prices more realistic because they would become an authentic reflection of true supply conditions. Namely, there would be an acknowledgement that the supply of physical silver is limited. Thus, silver price discovery would be improved by imposing discipline that would prevent the paper shorts from dominating the price of physical silver.
3. What are the essential features that you would wish to see in any replacement?
Derivative contracts can settle in either cash or metal. Both the buyer and the seller need to put up margin as evidence of their ability to fulfill the terms of the contact they enter into. These margin requirements are now met generally by providing cash. Though margins can also be met with physical metal in some cases, it is rare. My proposal would be for cash settlement contracts to be margined with cash, regardless whether the participant is long or short the contract, and can be essentially unlimited in terms of the number of contracts issued. In contrast, derivatives that commit to deliver physical metal should be margined differently, in effect controlling the shorts which in turn also would result in disciplined control of the longs of these contracts. Those who have bought a contract that could result in the delivery of physical silver should meet their margin requirement with cash. But those who have sold short a contract that could result in the delivery of physical silver should meet their margin requirement by having physical metal stored in an LBMA-approved vault. As is now the case, the size of the margin requirement can be periodically set by an exchange for exchange-traded derivatives or a regulatory body such as the Bank of England for over-the-counter trade derivatives. Note that even though the short sellers of contracts that could result in the physical delivery of metal are meeting their margin requirement with physical metal, the fractional-reserve nature of the physical market will not disappear. For example, if a 50-percent margin requirement was imposed, the commitments to deliver physical metal in the aggregate could grow to twice the available stock, unless of course the short sellers have additional physical metal available that is not being put into LBMA vaults for margin. But the objective of requiring these short sellers to meet margin requirements with physical metal is not to try eliminating the fractional-reserve aspect of the market, which is probably an impossible task given the human tendency to expand credit. Rather it is simply a method of imposing prudent discipline on the silver market by controlling short sellers of silver derivatives.
4. Which market participants would be the ideal contributors to the pricing mechanism? (for example, bullion banks, manufacturers, refiners, others?).
All market participants should be the contributors to the pricing mechanism. When a trade takes place on an exchange or over the counter, the data of that trade should be immediately provided to neutral third parties to collect and report (for example, Bloomberg, Reuters, et al.). Aggregate data should also be reported. For example, this would include measurements of the total outstanding commitments for physical metal by size and forward date.
5. Other comments on the pricing mechanism?
While I have focused almost exclusively on silver, my analysis and recommendations also apply to gold."
What all of this means, Eric, is that there is a practical way to eliminate the manipulation of gold and silver prices. It is to require that anyone selling short any derivatives contract that provides for the delivery of physical metal must meet margin requirements by having physical silver in a vault, and further that the margin requirement be reasonably high to control the fractional-reserve leveraging.
This step would prevent price manipulations like the one where Barclays Bank was caught and fined. Traders, whether acting for their bank's account or as agents for government central planners, would no longer be able to conjure up out of thin air London good delivery bars in an attempt to force gold and silver prices lower by making believe that they have physical gold available for sale when in fact they don't. A reasonably high margin requirement in terms of physical metal imposed on short sellers of physical metal would move price discovery in gold and silver back to where it should be based, which is the market for physical metal and not the derivatives market.
My recommendation is that a 50-percent margin requirement be imposed on short sellers of contracts of physical metal. So if someone sells short a contract obligating the delivery of physical metal, the short-seller needs to prove that he has at least 1 ounce of silver in a vault for every 2 ounces sold short.
This measure will reduce the fractional-reserve aspect of precious metal trading to a reasonable level from the 100-to-1 level, which some market participants have stated is the present ratio of paper commitments to actual physical metal available. Not only will reasonable margin requirements reduce the opportunity to manipulate gold and silver prices with derivatives, it will also offer the added benefit of lowering the possibility of systemic risk like what occurred in 2008.
Now here's the important point. Fractional-reserve systems are not only fraudulent because of the inability to deliver all commitments; they are also inherently unstable and come with incalculable risks. For this reason I therefore always recommend avoiding paper products, and owning only physical gold and physical silver. When you own physical metal, you are going to be safe when the next 2008-like systemic collapse arrives."

screening, although they are now moving more toward assessing the quality of diagnosis and management. Research studies on quality of cancer care have been limited, with most research concentrating on cancers with comparatively higher prevalence and more evidence supporting clinical practice. In this section, the evidence of cancer care quality problems is assessed for breast and prostate cancer.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer among American women, and it is estimated that one in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime (Ries et al., 1998). In 1999, 176,300 new breast cancer diagnoses are expected (ACS, 1999). Although lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women, breast cancer still accounts for 43,300 deaths annually (ACS, 1999). Breast cancer remains a common illness with significant morbidity and mortality.
Among oncologic conditions, breast cancer has one of the most extensive scientific literatures to support a strong association between processes of care and outcomes. Unlike many malignancies, effective interventions exist for breast cancer that decrease mortality and improve quality of life. In addition, evidence from the literature suggests that all phases of the continuum of care have an important effect on breast cancer outcomes, including early detection, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment. This extensive clinical literature, with many well-designed randomized controlled trials, provides a firm grounding for the development of process measures in breast cancer. However, even in breast cancer, not every aspect of the continuum of care has been studied to determine its effect on outcomes. Thus, even for this heavily studied disease, some of the presumed associations between process and outcomes reflect consensus within the medical community and expert opinion and are not based upon reliable evidence.
Although there has been controversy over the age at which one should begin screening for breast cancer, data from multiple randomized trials and several meta-analyses provide evidence that screening with mammography results in diagnosis at an earlier stage and in better outcomes. Early detection of breast cancer through screening mammography has been shown to reduce mortality by 20 to 39 percent for women ages 50 years and older (Nyström et al., 1993; Roberts et al., 1990; Shapiro et al., 1988). Also, results for women age 40 to 50 have shown a trend toward reduced mortality ranging from 13 to 23 percent (Kerlikowske et al., 1995; Tabar et al., 1995). Although the associated benefits and risks are controversial, many professional and public health organizations, including both the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute, currently recommend screening mammography beginning at age 40 (Eastman, 1997; Mettlin and Smart, 1994).
For screening mammography to be effective, abnormalities identified at screening must be evaluated appropriately. Mammography is one of the most technically challenging radiological procedures, and ensuring the quality of the image is difficult. Furthermore, according to radiological experts, mammograms are the most difficult radiographic images to read (USGAO,

4 Foods to Eat for a Healthy Smile
Move over toothbrush! These foods are healthy for your teeth and gums, and help prevent cavities, bad breath and plaque.
By Nicci Micco
Like milk, cheese is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, nutrients important for building strong teeth. There's even evidence that munching on some cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella could help neutralize the acids that strip away tooth enamel, and that means pearlier whites. So yes, you'll have the cheese plate.

Question & Answers
Shill, Frugal, Big Spender, Relaxed, Bar, Fly Gamer
What do I have to do to get shill, frugal , Big Spender , Relaxed, Bar Fly, and Gamer achievements? I am in the Number 1 spot and didn't really get the complete concept/benefits of the achievements until later in the game.. I have gotten to level 5 or 6 even with the movie ones; dramatic, cheesy etc..and gotten a clothing item with some which is cool so I wanted to know how to do the other ones that I have low achievement points in..
AND I didn't even make it level 1 in my Day Job because I only worked like 2 shifts the whole game and I'm the #1 star so it's not like I can go work a shift in a coffee shop! So will I not be able to beat the game (not sure what exactly that means yet but complete all the tasks and achievements) without lowering myself to go back to work in a coffee shop as an A list celeb who owns all the houses possible in the game..
Answer from: A-listerToo
Shill: film commercials, do the "but wait there's more!" action and I guess all actions that are specific to a commercial - not generic ones like lighting check, etc.
Frugal: go to your old apartment in neighbourhood, do the actions there.
Big spender: go to coco club, do the "bribe the DJ" action - and perhaps something similar at other date places.
Bar fly: do all the drinking actions everywhere - fairlady hotel, leaky cantina, coco club, even sake at mr. sushi
Gamer: play games at leaky cantina
I don't know about Relaxed.
If you want to work at the coffee shop to collect Day Job points, just do it. It doesn't jeopardize your position as an A-lister.
Answer from: ~Aria~
When you put it like that, u can only get barfly, and gamer. For gamer, go to the leaky cantina and play the game. For barfly, go to the bar and order drinks!! Hope this helps!
Answer from: Sandra
Big spender: buy expensive things like houses.
Relaxed: watch tv at home and that kinda stuff.
Answer from: d girl
For relaxed- throw a party and then while the party is on you can relax on the couch and the pool n stuff.

Comments about Munchkin Auto Close Metal Gate:
This was easy to install and works well. However, it does have a tendency to move from the place it belongs (maybe it gets kicked) and ends up kind of crooked. It is nice that it opens both in and out because sometimes it depends on what you are holding and how much the puppy is trying to get out!

About the Texas State Society
About The Texas State Society

Organized in 1904 by Dr. and Mrs. Oscar Wilkinson, the Texas State Society (TSS) of Washington, DC was formed "to foster and encourage a fraternal spirit among the Texans at the National Capital, to render assistance when necessary to all sons and daughters of the Lone Star State, and to increase their patriotic love for Texas and the American Nation."

The first yearbook was published in 1906 with a total of 97 members and has grown to an organization of over 3,500 Texans and Friends of Texas today. Famous Texans who have served the Society as President include the Honorable Richard Kleberg of King Ranch fame, the Honorable Lyndon Baines Johnson of Johnson City, the Honorable Jim Wright of Fort Worth.

The Texas State Society of Washington, DC is an all-volunteer organization with annually elected officers. The Board of Directors meets approximately eleven times per year to assist in planning and organizing events for Society members to enjoy.

Annual events include the Salute to the Congressional Delegation and Reception, the Cherry Blossom Reception and Annual Meeting, the Father's Day Picnic, the LBJ Memorial Tribute, Golf Tournament and Terlingua Two-Step dance. Among other events that have been held are the TSS Collegiate Chili Cook-off, Texas Rangers-Baltimore Orioles baseball outing and Happy Hours with other State Societies.

The quadrennial "Black Tie & Boots Inaugural Ball" occurs in the midst of the pomp and circumstance of the inaugural whirl. In 2005, the Black Tie and Boots Ball lived up to its Texas-sized reputation with some 12,000 participants from all over the United States. Numerous musical groups entertained in the two large ballrooms and a number of side rooms, offering everyone the opportunity to kick up their heels and dance the night away. First added in 2001, the Texas Fair (in the lower level of the hotel) again proved to be a popular addition to the festivities. A wide variety of Texas delicacies and gift items were available for sale.

From appreciating your thighs to being honest about your sense of bedroom adventure, a little wisdom can go a long way when it comes to sexual satisfaction. Here, nine women share their deepest revelations.

"Practicing mindfulness in other arenas has definitely spilled into my sex life, and I have to say, improved it accordingly. Just giving myself permission to tune out the rest of the world and focus on the moment-by-moment physical sensations and emotions has made the connection with my husband stronger — and the whole experience better. Sex now feels less like another task I'm trying to tick off my to-do list and more like something pleasurable that I deserve to enjoy from beginning to end. But first, I truly had to learn to let go and convince myself that I owed it to myself and my husband to give our time in the bedroom my undivided attention." — Jessica, 35, married four years

Our ECNL teams were preparing for their trip to Florida, with Orlando on the mind, this is how the teams fared during the second weekend of December.
Lonestar SC battled to a 1-1 draw with D'Feeters Soccer Club on Saturday in a crucial Texas Conference showdown. Lonestar remained in the top spot in the conference thanks to the draw and a 1-0 win over Dallas Sting on Sunday.
Lonestar SC also had a very positive week in the U15 age group. Lonestar picked up a 4-1 win against D'Feeters Soccer Club on Saturday, and then tallied a 3-1 victory over Dallas Sting on Sunday. Emily Strouphauer had two goals and an assist on Saturday for Lonestar. Quinn Murphy and Ariela Cantu also scored in the win. Strouphauer capped her great weekend with two more goals on Sunday. She has eight on the season. Ariana Owens scored the other goal against Sting.

Our Heroes - fire service, ambulance service and police department were at the stadium providing information about their work and giving tours of the ambulances, fire engines and police helicopters to the fans.
Lonestar players created a tunnel for the UT players to run through at the start of the game, many got to 'high five the players' as they went onto the field.
Two of our Junior Academy teams, Germany Girls and Spain Girls were invited to the "Team Chat" where they had the opportunity to meet one of the UT coaches and a few of the players. At half time these teams represented Lonestar SC well with a scrimmage on the field!
This was a great experience for our players and a fun night out for out Lonestar families.

MS sees Windows 7 leap, but XP workhorse refuses to die
Most Windows 7 customers are satisfied with the new operating system, according to tech analyst house Forrester Research, but many stick-in-the-mud types still see no reason to upgrade from the OS that refuses to die - Windows XP. Forrester published the results of its study (subscription required) about take-up of Microsoft's …
It ain't broke, don't fix it
I bought a new home PC around the time Vista was getting slated in the press, so I ordered it with XP. Added Solaris and Linux as multiboot options, but XP still does all the windozy things just fine. I certainly see no need to risk trashing it by upgrading to an OS that doesn''t seem to do anything else that I need.
When I replace this system, or my XP laptop, I'll probably take W7 on the new one. Until then, it ain't broke so I ain't fixin' it.
Until I have an entirely new system, and would have to get a new OS license anyway to replace my OEM copy of XP, there's just no point in stretching my machine's limited capabilities further. Having said that though, I will probably be buying at least one upgrade copy of Win7, while I still have student status i.e. before finishing the old PhD, even if I don't actually install it on anything right away.
Keep goood backups
Without being able to do a repair install, unless setup is being run from within windows you need to keep better backup and license documentation. Yes, that means you cant do a repair install on a system that wont boot. And just wait till the virus lot start abusing junctions.
Win7 is simply a polished version of vista. ie a polished turd, treat with caution
I'm a PC
What was so bad about the "I'm a PC" adverts? - they seemed like a fairly inventive response to the Apple adverts (although as I discovered recently, not many people in the UK were aware of the Apple ads as they didn't really take off here).
"What was so bad about the "I'm a PC" adverts?"
They make the dubious claim that people who don't smoke crack had a say in how the new Windows Explorer looks.
They are annoying for one, rubbish for another, blatant lies (PR spin) for a third.
One tells you that you can home network as if Win7 invented it. One tells you that more than one person can use TV, file sharing and network stuff as if it is a new feature. One tells you that snap is an MS invention and new, despite linux having it for a while. One told you that you can see bigger windows by looking at the tab on the task bar like vista did. One tells you about parental controls which have been around from routers to browsers for yonks. One tells you that you get faster boot up times, faster than what? Vista definitely, but not faster than ubuntu or XP.
And the peple used are the kind of sad geeky techie morons or competitive dads that you normally wouldn't associate or listen to. They give us sad techie geeks a bad name. If I met a guy in a gym with a laptop, you don't think wow, you think what a sad ****er. And pushy dad who has networked his house, the look on his kids faces says it all.
and don't forget
the guy who says he's using the private browsing feature to buy his wife a present - yeah,right.
Although maybe his wife likes the same porn or sex toys as he does - although looking at him, he's probably into something scary.... like something unspeakable involving Steve Ballmer and a chair
What's wrong with "I'm a PC"?
What's wrong?
It implies that a PC is synonymous with Microsoft Windows
If you're happy with what you've got as it works very well, why get something new that may or may not be as good?
It's like buying a brand new car because your's is 3 years old and you've got-to-have-the-latest-model...oh hang on, people (and I use that in the loosest possible sense) do that already.
Which also explains why my boss is in his wife's saxo because his brand new bmw broke after a week and went back to the dealer :-)
Hi I'm WinXP I work just fine
The only advantage I can see for upgrading from WinXP is that Win 7 will address more RAM.
So what?
oh and of course there was the if you don't upgrade all your hard drives will be doomed. Wanna bet watch this I haven't upgraded my hard drive and the old ones works just fine and dandy.
If you want me to spend a chunck of money upgrading to something new you had better give me more of a reason than flashy graphics.
Erm, actually
Windows 7 32-bit and Windows XP 32-bit (even 32-bit Linux if you might ask) are limited to something between 3 and 4 GB of RAM (according to the motherboard manufacturer's mood).
That's why I don't see the point of selling laptops loaded with 64-bit Windows<your version here> and being equipped with 2 to 3 GB of RAM. If you don't have a specific need to use more than 4 GB of RAM (virtualization being one of these) then 32-bit is as good as 64-bit so you'll have to think of more reasons to move to Windows 7. Better DRM and WGA-sorry it is now being called WAT- matbe ?
Not, actually
I quote the fount of all true knowledge.
"The Linux kernel includes full PAE mode support starting with version 2.3.23,[3] enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines."
Clueless Users won't upgrade
I have had users in the past who've brought in PCs, and we've repaired them to find that the only disk that they have is a knock-off. I'm sure that there are many such users out there. The problem is that they won't buy anything, and they won't upgrade their PC, and they don't know or care if their machine is a zombie that churns out spam all day.
I read about corporate Legacy Apps, but they'll get upgraded long before the cheapskate home user ditches their knock-off Windows XP IMHO.
Some will
Except for the ones now getting nice shiny copies of Win 7.
That's a pathetic way of letting Microsoft off the hook.
That's a pathetic way of letting Microsoft off the hook.
You automatically assume that an old Windows product can't be good to begin with and that one has to upgrade to get rid of zombified machines.
Well why the hell did MS allow a product onto the market that could be zombified in the first place? (Moreover, now that XP is there it should be fixed which negates the need for any upgrade.)
It never ceases to amaze me why people are continually being apologists for companies that make shoddy products--and with respect to security--Windows is perhaps the shoddiest product (and the most significant) ever made.
Again, it's proof that Goebbels was right when he pushed the 'Tell a big enough lie and people will believe you' argument. It's excellent proof that propaganda works, whether it comes from Microsoft, The British Government, Washington, Moscow or the Third Reich is immaterial, many people osmotically suck up the crap and turn it into gospel.
only upgraded because
i only upgraded to windows 7 to escape the nightmare of vista. id had to buy a machine when vista was the latest thing.
while windows 7 is a lot better, its still a resource hog. perhaps microsft should focus on reducing its footprint and drain on the system as apple did before worrying about new features, erm bugs :)
esc? yes.. from vista
I suppose this raises the questions, Is Windows XP to Microsoft as
Netware 3.12 was to Novell? And who will knock MS off the top podium as a result?
XP ain't 'broke', but it's lacking features
Windows 7 has a bunch of features that really do speed up working with stuff, and I'm happy our place is moving on from XP.
The sad thing is all the good stuff was also present in Vista.
@Craig 12
"Windows 7 has a bunch of features that really do speed up working with stuff"
Such as?
No, really. Not being rude, just would like to know how Win7 can increase my productivity.
You'd be surprised how much jump lists and the search box in the Start Menu make things easier & quicker. A lot of the little features that I orignally thought were just fluff actually are very useful.
Good stuff in Vista?
"The sad thing is all the good stuff was also present in Vista."
Maybe - but also along with enough shite to make the average PC feel like it was still using a 486 at it's core.
My old dog of a laptop (supplied with Vista) now runs a hell of a lot nicer with Win 7.
It has had zero problems so far, and although not perfect - works a hell of a lot nicer than with the abortion called Vista.
Windows 7 will increase MY productivity
"No, really. Not being rude, just would like to know how Win7 can increase my productivity."
Sure. I'm just too busy right now to upgrade, but I already know how Windows 7 will upgrade my productivity because it has given me the last argument to switch to OSX. No more 10 minute boot times because my anti-virus hasn't had its daily 1GB download of patches, no more day long "reboot?" nagging after I made the mistake of allowing Windows Update to do its thing, no more overnight hanging of a machine because "shut down" doesn't mean shut down unless you confirm that hung app is really hung and you want to power down, no more worry about email attachments that may have something dodgy in (still have to be careful, but you can't argue against 16k malware progs on Linux and OSX combined vs 4 MILLION for Windows).
Oh, and it's more user friendly as well.
So how did W7 do this? Simple, by needing anti-virus again. A modern OS that is still incapable of protecting itself against the Internet is like supplying a modern car with brakes as an option. There is simply no way you can justify this.
So, I agree with the statement that Windows 7 will improve my productivity. Mainly because I will avoid it.
Note: not a Mac or Jobs fan, but a realist..
I don't remember any 486 I ever used being as slow as a bad vista machine
Are these two (jump lists and the search box) the MAIN reasons to force whole planet to upgrade?!!!? ROFL
XP in the public sector
To get Windows 7 in my workplace I'd have to replace over 200 machines. I don't want to burden the taxpayer (nor will I get the chance with the slashed budgets) buying new machines when XP runs absolutely fine on our existing systems which are still going strong.
Then there's the price
Microsoft needs to bring back the pre-release promotional pricing. I would buy the 3-license family pack but it is no longer available. No way I'll replace XP at today's prices for Win7.
XP? No thanks...like using Win95 now.
Cripes all these folks clinging to XP saying it does all they need. Then they cant be doing much..or very quickly.
After using 7 since launch going back to XP (even on decent gear) is awful. So slow and clunky when trying to do more than one thing at a time.
I sit with customers who proudly demonstrate their "perfectly good old XP computer" and how it performs and I'm just sitting there looking at my watch, tapping my foot saying "err yes thats really nice ahem". It's like watching paint dry.
I've upgraded many customers (several who did it begrudgingly, see above) to Win7 from XP and now none of them would go back.
I was a big XP fan but really guys, time to ditch that old crock, you are not helping yourselves.
doesn't stay fast though
Go back in 3 months and see if its still running fast. Every standalone version of Windows I know accumulates cruft at a spectacular rate and slows down. The folk re-installing Windows every few months to maintain speed aren't completely delusional.

What do you expect
from people who would proudly demonstrate their computer? It's the sort of thing you get into Computer Stupidities for. Using them as your example doesn't speak much for that judgement you're passing on many expert users.
Shirley you jest.
Why does Windows slow
Paul Shirley, you are so right, been regularly rebuilding Windows since forever; currently my business partner's XP desktop needs a rebuild, as it uses to start to desktop in 30-seconds or so and 12-months later its taking so long that he can go and make a cup of tea and get back to his desk after hitting power on (he never installs anything, never has, and doesn't even update drivers ... only security patches).
Why does Windows slow down over time, and why is the only solution to reformat the hard-drive and freshly install?
I'd think about going up to Win7...
I might think about going all the way up to Win7... but good ole MS seems to ignore the fact that many of us gave a pass on Vista. WinXP *CANNOT* be upgraded to Win7. Too bad for MS, that means that even if I have a valid reason to jump up to Win7 (specifically, I'd like to see the full 4Gb o' RAM in my PC) won't do so.
Not Worth It
I was at a computer shop the other day and read the list of Windows 7 Ultimate features, all supported by Ubuntu out the box. Why bother buying the most expensive version of windows when I can have far more for free?
To be fair..
A linux does not a windoze make. And vice versa.
Some people will not be able to cope with a linux of any sort.
(This will usually be the non-techy type person, or certainly someone who will not want to fiddle)
Others may not be able to cope with a windoze of any sort.
Personally I think windows is OK provided you're reasonably happy that you're running stuff you really haven't much of a hope in figuring out, whereas a linux system can be as simple or as complex as you so choose, and linux is better documented....
It's the configuration
It's configuring Linux that puts the n00bs off. It can seem insurmountable to people with no desire whatsoever to use config files or the command line. But hand them a fully configured Linux system and they'll find themselves perfectly capable of using it.
Is Linux really so different to Windows in that respect? Installing an operating system, almost any operating system, isn't inherently difficult - it just takes people out of their comfort zone. They see their PC in the in-between stage of working and broken and they don't like it at all.
And don't suggest for a second that people don't have to configure Windows, they do, it's just that the simple commands they would have been able to run in Linux have been dressed up as complete software packages with $$$ price tags.
Re : It's the configuration
For goodness sake - you DON'T need to use the command-line for a normal modern Linux installation. I've not used it for an install for years on OpenSUSEs
Re: It's the configuration
"It's configuring Linux that puts the n00bs off. It can seem insurmountable to people with no desire whatsoever to use config files or the command line."
I've been installing Ubuntu for the last three years. It's the same procedure as installing Windows... click, click, enter time zone, enter date and time, click, click.
@ Svantevid
My point, which you seem to have missed, is that average end users don't care how easy it is for us guys with a clue, they will find themselves bewildered anyway. In Windows AND Linux installs. It's just that Windows comes set up for them already and Linux does not.
I think it's because the process of installing an OS challenges their perception of the OS being the actual computer. (I suppose I'm referring mostly to the "AOL subscriber" section of the PC marketplace here)
@ Chemist
"For goodness sake - you DON'T need to use the command-line for a normal modern Linux installation"
You do need to change config files sometimes. That's not a criticism, it is a fact. (Have you never changed a config file in SUSE? Really? Really?) And how best to change config files? The command line. As PC geeks we know that the command line is the best and fastest way to access specific files, so we tell non-geeks to use the command line too. No they don't HAVE to use it, but they will inevitably get told to anyway.
My point, therefore, is that if you want to get idiots using Linux, you have to set it up for them and not go "wah wah wah its so easy". And THEN when it's setup already, they will find it just as easy to use as Windows.
You missed the point
I never said anything about editing config. files at some point but I wouldn't use the command line for that anyway. It's easy to start a GUI editor as root to alter a config. file. Many system config files can be altered in the YAST GUI in OpenSUSE for that matter.
I do use the command line for lots of things but that's personal pref.
To INSTALL a modern Linux you don't need to compile anything or use the command line.
Config files
"average end users don't care how easy it is for us guys with a clue, they will find themselves bewildered anyway"
Change that to "how easy it is, they will find themselves bewildered anyway", and I'll agree. :-)
I mean... insert CD, click, click, enter date and time, click... how hard can that be? A trained hamster could do it.
"You do need to change config files sometimes."
Yes, and if I count the number of times I had to do it in Ubuntu and in Win7... I think Win7 wins. A lot of annoying Win7 stuff had to be sorted through registry, until I got a satisfying result.
Now, if someone could point me to the idiot who changed the status bar in Windows Explorer...
Nigh on a decade ago
At home I began weaning myself off of IE. It took a year running IE and FF before I was using the latter more than the former. About the same time I was running Windows 9x and installed XP to multiboot. Again it took about a year before I was using XP more than 9x. I must have been running Vista/Win7 for 3 years now but still overwhelmingly use and prefer XP.
Incidentally the pathetic bug in XP whereby Common Tasks change depending (in my experience) on the no. of certain types of file, e.g. enough JPEGs in ANY folder, on ANY drive, and you find, say, System32 is now supposedly a folder for photos, with view type set to thumbnails. Or set one folder to a particular view type and you find that My Computer has changed with it; change My Computer back and the other folder changes too. Well, not only have M$ never bothered to fix this in XP, it still happens in Windows7.
I figure there is a time in every user's life when the feel for computing comes together at last, like they will never be more attuned to this technological interaction than they are at that particular time. And the OS they're using more often than not becomes the one they swear by and thereafter resist moving on from. So maybe that is, for me, XP. But while there are a handful of changes in Windows7 that I quite like, and have been prepared to put in the time and effort to familiarise myself with, much of it seems detrimental, awkward, like change solely for the sake of making a new product to sell 'Windows' all over again.
I'll be interested to know how new PC users who do their apprenticeship with Windows7 find retrospectively learning XP. Not that many will, of course.
Witness the evolution of car, aircraft, motorcycle styling over the last 100 years. There have been many turkeys, but plenty of classic designs, plenty you could almost call works of art. But now most of them are so similar they're a boring, spirit sapping waste of resources. Perhaps they are ergonomically better, but I'm as sick of silver cars as Mr Anchovy was of Chartered Accountancy! Just because it is new doesn't mean improved and it seems to me precious few of the Windows7 changes are ergonomic rather than merely cosmetic, and when they're *un*-ergonimic even eye candy is tainted with fail. Time will tell.
I don't get it..
... why are Microsoft surprised by people wanting to stick with XP? The average home user only changes their OS when they get a new computer, and businesses still can't guarentee all their business critical applications will run perfectly in Windows 7 due to the large changes in technology between the two versions.
Not to mention the price for Windows 7 is still too high for what it delivers that's different.
oh very business savy
> and businesses still can't guarantee all their business critical applications will run perfectly in Windows 7 due to the large changes in technology between the two versions
that will be a business with out any sort of BC or DR plan then?
those sort of f**k wit run businesses deserve to fail
(and that's not just the small / medium sized ones either, just ones without any kind of effective audit oversight board = so most banks then!)
To love is to share....right?
XP doesn't collect and send my data back to MS so they can share it with it's corporate partners so much.
your opinion would count if you understood basic English grammar
Vista and 7 DRM kernel
My reason for preferring XP is that it's the last windows that does not lock the owner out of the kernel. Vista and 7 kernels are both configured by MS to prevent the legitimate owner from installing custom drivers (self developed or open source).
I will avoid any OS which gives MS control over the policy of how my computer is used.
Don't think so.
Why put yourself through the nightmare of upgrading? for what? It's funny, but has anyone ever paid attention to the screens when installing 95, 98, Me, or XP? All quote the same thing, "Now users can do (insert feature here)." and it's all the same! I've been using PCs since the early DOS days, I've been around long enough to know that most of it's all the same, just more bling. I don't plan on upgrading my XP to 7. just a waste of money. I'll continue to use that PC for the next several years (I do know how to take care of it) and I will eventually buy a new PC at some point with whatever version of OS is offered at the time.
If the upgrade from XP wasn't so expensive and possibly destructive, I may look into it. but I've had enough of spending money and wasting time trying to get the next fad to work when what I've had all along works just fine. To hell with worrying about the latest virus/trojan/exploit. That's scare-tactics. If someone wants in your computer, they will get it. If they want your personal info, they'll get it. A person needs to take other steps than loading down their computers with bloated software in order to protect themselves. It doesn't start or end with a computer.
full screen command prompt
Last seen in XP and the last OS which can run VGA graphics dos programs.
It takes time to rewrite and a working program brings in money. Rewriting can take ages on a huge system.
...or FreeDOS in a VM should do what you need, shirley?

CAPE CORAL- On December 14th 2007 the Cape Coral Police Department's Narcotics Unit along with the SWAT Team was serving a narcotics search warrant at 2206 NE 15th Terrace Cape Coral, FL.
As the warrant was being served, SWAT team members entered the house while clearly and loudly announcing their presence and identifying themselves as "Police". All officers were wearing SWAT uniforms and holding shields that said "Police" across the front.
As officers entered the residence, a male (later identified as Javario Barron 24yoa of 2206 NE 15th Terrace) ran into a bedroom and began shooting at officers from inside of the bedroom. Three of the SWAT team members returned fire into the bedroom (which was completely dark).
A distraction device (flash-bang grenade) was thrown into the dark room occupied by Barron at that time.
Barron then surrendered and was taken into custody without incident. Neither Barron nor the officers were injured during the shootout.
Barron was charged with Attempted Murder of a Police Officer (3 counts); Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (prior charges) and Trafficking in Cocaine (over 28grams of crack cocaine was discovered as a result of the search warrant). A .40 caliber Taurus handgun was recovered from the bedroom that Barron was in.
Barron was held in the Lee County Jail in the interim.
Today at 1:30pm, Barron pled guilty to:
Attempted 2nd Degree Murder
Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer
Resisting an Officer with Violence
Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
He will begin serving an 11 year prison sentence (10 years are minimum mandatory) and he will be on 4 years of probation upon his release.

Utilities ordered to ask customers to save water
The California Public Utilities Commission says that investor-owned water companies in California have been ordered to request voluntary conservation from customers to reduce their water consumption by 20 percent.
The commission says the agency voted Thursday to order investor-owned water companies to notify their customers of the request through a bill insert or a direct mailing. If the voluntary measures are not enough, the companies may apply to the commission to activate mandatory rationing.
There are 116 investor-owned water utilities and 14 wastewater utilities under the CPUC's jurisdiction.
California Water Association spokesman Jack Hawks says it was no surprise that companies were ordered to ask their customers to conserve, since the state has been suffering from a long-term drought.

The level remains adequate to cover 11.9 months worth of imports of goods and payments of services and income, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Officer-in-Charge Juan de Zuniga said.

So awkward, but could not look away.

Complex posted this video from DJ Eclipse of a young 19-year-old Kanye West, relatively unknown at the time, rapping at the Fat Beats NYC store grand opening in 1996.
In case you missed it, here is Brian Williams singing "Rapper's Delight".
Remember when Jay Shells put up signs in NYC with rap lyrics? He's doing the same now in LA at the appropriate street corners of course.

November 29, 2014
The Beatrice school board has approved spending $300,000 more on the new high school stadium.
The board voted unanimously Monday to raise the project cost to $2.3 million.
The extra money will be spent on security fences, a sprinkler system for the grass berm seating, a ticket booth with donor recognition bricks and two observation decks on the second level of the concession stand and press box.
Superintendent Jon Lopez says the money will be borrowed from local banks and will be paid back with fundraising proceeds over the next five years.
Lopez says the district needed to act on the additional projects while the contractors were on site.
With the new projects, the stadium's substantial completion is delayed two months, to July 1.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Santino Quaranta broke a scoreless tie in the 75th minute and Brian Ching followed with a header in the 79th, giving the United States a 2-0 win against Honduras in the Gold Cup on Wednesday night.
The United States, two-time defending champion in the competition contested among the countries of North and Central America and the Caribbean, is 23-0-1 in Gold Cup group play..
The Americans are 2-0 and lead Group B going into their final first-round match against Haiti on Saturday in Foxborough, Mass. Honduras, 1-1, will face winless Grenada, also in Foxborough.
Quaranta took a short pass from Charlie Davies, who replaced Freddy Adu in the 64th minute, at the top of the penalty box and fired in his first goal for the national team. Four minutes later, Ching put in his header from the goal box to seal the victory.
