We have some show-stopping items on the agenda for SCAA Expo 2014 in Seattle. We will be right at the main entrance of the expo hall (Booth #4005), there to greet you with smiling faces and great beverage experiences. Here are a few of the highlights:
trifecta and the SCAA Flavor Wheel
Have you ever wondered if you can change the flavor of a cup of coffee without changing the extraction? Stop by our trifecta area, give the flavor wheel a spin, and see for yourself how Air Infusion® technology can unlock different flavor nuances within a coffee.
I recently watched a film titled After the Harvest: Fighting Hunger in the Coffeelands. The film premiered at the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) Symposium and Exposition in Houston this April. It showcases the chronic seasonal hunger that effects small scale coffee farmers in Central America. This seasonal hunger more than likely effects a majority of small scale coffee
This past weekend I attended the Specialty Coffee Association of Americas (SCAA) 23rd Annual Exposition in Houston, Texas. As a newbie to the coffee world, I did not know what to expect. Ill be honest, my interaction with coffee has been limited to either buying a cup of coffee from a shop, or brewing a batch at home. I always thought coffee just grew in a field, it was harvested, and then shipped to grocery stores and cafs to serve. So when I walked into the SCAA Exposition I was shocked! I had no idea how many people and hours are involved in producing one cup of coffee.
If you are interested in learning
more about coffee brewing, please plan to come by Coffee Preparation
Methods and Variables, the lecture that Brad Smith
of Distant Lands Coffee Roasters and I will be presenting from
There will always be more questions than answers when discussing any subject,
and coffee brewing is no exception. Everyone you talk

Breitling releases limited edition watch in honor of the SR71 Blackbird, criminal that is super,super-fast plane that set an archive inside the 1970s to be the fastest ("air-breathing") aircraft within the globe. Just forty – two of the planes were actually developed. Out-of which twelve airplanes were ruined via an incidents none ever succumbed to "enemy activity." Breitling Blackbird Red Affect Chronograph provides a acquainted experience concerning it compared to many Breitling pilot watches that are different, and is the new version of the Breitling Blackbird watch. Even if every one of these years the SR71 Blackbird is still appealing art.
The Red Attack watch will be limited by just 2000 bits simply, and supplied in either a classy or in a much cleaned technique. Why the option? Well some people inactive job who like watches decide low-slick situation to cut unwelcome light-weight back reflection from the scenarios. The event is actually a sizable 43.7mm completely steel that is wide. Gem is pearl and richly AR (antireflective) painted. Water-proof around three hundred measures.
In the watch might be a BreitlingCaliber 48 that might be a platform ETA automatic timer having an huge time indicator element. Breitling has got the motion COSC time certified. The date signal exhibit looks very stylish with red on numbers. As it's a watch for aviation, the border that is rotating has compass indicators on that for navigation, and therefore the call itself is unbelievably simple to surf. Breitling did a pleasant occupation obtaining the lumen lined hour indicators and palms stick out really nicely. As such, the switch is "occupied" really normal Breitling approach, however not overdone. Attached for the circumstance is Breitling's many effectively-loved pilot fashion steel metal bracelet that brings effectively towards the search.

The dial is established with palms that were new. The re-cased-up watch equipped in to a water-opposition have a look at further like a three- inner handle notably specializing in computerized winding mechanism, its exactitude, power reserve and timer functions – as well as a rigid functional evaluation. Superior price for income & this watch includes its authentic pilot style diamond that's several thousand dollars to restore!

Vertical Farming
Has anyone heard of the Vertical Farming project? It's supposed to be the new form of agriculture that will be used in the future. I have read a fair amount about it and I emailed a professor from Columbia University that is involved but he wouldn't tell me much...any thoughts?
It's an idea to create agricultural centers (or farms) in urban centers. A buddy of mine did one for his architecture thesis project a couple years ago. The idea being that hydroponics and sustainable practices can be applied to a skyscraper structure that is zoned at different heights for different systems. In theory the vertical farm would reduce grocery costs in cities over time because a) sustainable systems would keep utility costs down and b) transportation cost is eliminated (another issue of sustainability). It would also perhaps mean fresher produce where it is otherwise hard to get. Until one is financed and built, it's hard to know just how successful they can really be though. I personally like the idea, but there are lots of questions about them. I think that Columbia University prof did an interview with Stephen Colbert a year or so ago and discussed vertical farms. If you search the Colbert Report website you might be able to find the video of it.
Listen to Robert Kennedy Jr. Explain it to us... "I can't think of any technology that addresses more urgent issues than Valcent's vertical farming system", says RFK Jr http://bit.ly/cPb00g
And watch this video of the only real vertical farming system working today.... Reuters Video features Valcent's VertiCrop vertical farming system: http://bit.ly/a9p47W
re: mnosyne
In the city of Detroit the abandoned housing rate is so high that some areas are reverting back to empty land. Some people have proposed the idea of developing urban farms their to relieve hunger. I don't think this idea has really taken off though.
re: syrup09
I have been to Detroit several times over the last couple of years. Urban farms are thriving in Detroit and local activists are doing their part to "bring the country back into the city." Here's an example of an urban farm I visited.
re: mnosyne
The documentary is called "Our Daily Bread". Aside from the factory farming aspect, there are some pretty tough animal scenes, so if you see it, be prepared.
re: mnosyne
any idea what the name of the film is?
re: chefyusef
"Our Daily Bread".
There's some info about it in this article from Mother Jones, an examination of whether some of our firmly held beliefs will have to be readjusted as our world becomes more urbanized.
Some provocative reading.
Lots of neat stuff popped up with this search thread:
Vertical farming way forward for the future but in my mind technology needs to catch up to be successful especially in the development of LED lighting.Plants need to be grown on top of each other so therefore run out of light.Traditional HPS lighting too expensive to run in a viable manner for a commercial venture.Most vertical farms are developed with reseach money and few turn a profit.Vertical farms in cities with a retail salad bar/restaurant at the base are an exciting concept that could work with the right technology which is coming soon
do a search for fairy angel plant factory will be eye opening over 13million dollars spent on this project! Put this in your cities!Worlds largest plant factory located in japan using vetical farming!

Groupon shuns Google's $6bn takeover bonanza
Groupon walked away from acquisition talks with Google late last week, after speculative reports suggested that the world's largest ad broker was willing to splurge up to $6bn to buy the e-commerce coupon outfit. According to the Chicago Tribune, which cited sources familiar with the matter, Groupon turned its back on Google …
That was short-lived.
Presumably Groupon, who went in my experience from "who the fuck are they?" to "as advertised on every bloody page I browse to" as soon as this buyout story started doing the rounds, will now go back to anonymity.
Just sometimes there are things that crop up that make me glad I don't have adblock. It was very interesting to see firsthand the sudden and not entirely unexpected ubiquity of Groupon which I would have been blissfully unaware of, had I that addon installed.
It must have been hard for Groupon to turn this one down with that: "But look where you could be seen....." dangled in front of them. Not that this was dangled at all of course, I'm sure that there's a perfectly reasonable and entirely less evil explanation that doesn't involve Google gaming their own ad system to suit themselves here.
I was hoping this would fail
Groupon is interesting. They aren't five Novell's interesting. That much money for a company that new is just crazy.
This is a game of chess...
.. groupon wants 6 billion and they are spreading the rumour about it...
Google may want to pay something in the ballpark of 2. Since the middle ground is too far from both sides,
as of now there is no, err, middle ground.
Paris, coz she doesn't negotiate.
That is why I could never create a company
If I ever had a successful company, any 8-digits offer would probably have me asking where to sign...
And these guys refused a 10-digits offer.
How I will ever get a job with so little ambition?
Dumb and dumber
Are they kidding? I don't know who's dumber, Google for offering that much, or Groupon for turning them down. They're about to get seriously marginalized by a number of competitors.
Groupon can be done better, for a lot cheaper and less evil
Groupon is going to have to change or they will fail.
Right now they have some suckers willing to cough up a whole lot for the rights to
sell things at a small percentage and keep an even smaller one. As time goes on, someone
will come up with their own site and offer the same service for less.
It's like those coupon books they used to push hard. They got people to pay for the right to
include their coupons in a coupon book, then they also managed to get people to buy the
coupon books. Thing is, I don't see them around anymore since it did not make enough
sense to either the potential customers or the businesses.
They must have a heck of a salesforce to convince businesses to let groupon keep 50% of
the sales AFTER the price was already slashed. The only way it would make sense is if they
managed to develop a significant percentage into long term customers or if they were so
overpriced to begin with that they at least break even after getting perhaps 25% of the list
So, while groupon looks a bit juicy with their cash flow (I have no idea what their costs and debts are) it would be far cheaper to simply create their own site, offer it for a less evil piece
of the action, which would likely drive enough traffic to make more profit anyway.
They can learn from groupon and do it better.
Go ahead and pay 10-12 times real earnings (not gross sales) if you must jump into it,
otherwise be patient and build a better creation without the pitfalls from dealing with their
evil past actions.
Evil being defined as that the only company that really makes out on the deal is groupon.

Surefire methods to improve total-tract starch digestibility
There has been increased interest over the last few years in maximizing total-tract digestibility of starch from corn fed to dairy cows. This interest was primarily driven by the high price of corn over the last few years. Even with recent sharp decreases in corn prices, dairy producers and nutritionists still see value in improving total-tract starch digestibility as a tool to improve feed efficiency and potentially increase milk yield.

this product is an excellent sample of quality and fit. product purchased for my granddaughter. Her choice over any other Hoodie. November 20, 2014
Is this really a NorthFace Hoodie I received a gray hoodie with a north face half pink dome decal on it. Wasnt impressed with the decal and the hoodie did not have the stictched north face logo on the back of the right shoulder like I have had in the past. Was this not a true northface hoodie? November 20, 2014
Hot pink true to fit ... Warm ... I love the color hot pink ... Hoodie is not to big November 16, 2014

Love the color, they run small. I purchased a size medium for my 11 year old daughter that is approximately 5'2" and 120 pounds. The sleeves are a bit long, but the overall size is good. She normally wears an adult small. October 29, 2014
Awesome It was perfect. Is order one in every color if I had the money. October 26, 2014

Walgreen says its fiscal first-quarter earnings sank nearly 26 percent as the nation's largest drugstore chain filled fewer prescriptions and absorbed costs tied to recent acquisitions and Superstorm Sandy.
The Deerfield-based drugstore company reported Friday that prescriptions fell 3 percent, and prescription revenue dropped, partly because of cheaper generic drugs but also because Walgreen continues to work to win back customers who fled to rivals during Walgreen's reimbursement-rate dispute with Express Scripts. Analysts have said the battle with Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefits manager, could cost Walgreen $4 billion in yearly revenue.
Walgreen earned $413 million, or 43 cents per share, in the three months that ended Nov. 30. That compares with net income of $554 million, or 63 cents per share, a year ago. Walgreen said earlier this month revenue fell nearly 5 percent in the quarter to $17.34 billion.
Same-store sales, a key indicator of a retailer's health, dropped 8 percent, while sales overall slid 4.6 percent, to $17.32 billion, during the quarter.
Excluding one-time costs, adjusted earnings were 58 cents per share.
Analysts forecast earnings of 70 cents per share.
Walgreen runs more than 8,000 drugstores in all 50 states.

Last week I purchased this component and the support is amazing! I couldn't figure out how to get the login button to work correct in a pop-up window. Made a post and within a couple hours I had my answer and was up and running!
The price may seem silly at first but it's a small cost for the ease of logging in via Facebook. One less password for your users to memorize! So go ahead and get this, there are plenty of Facebook components out there this will certainly be my last! You've made a satisfied customer.

Home Office guides plods on photography
covert photography and auto-publish
- Mobile phones these days have everything you need to automatically send every picture you take to an online repository immediately. Hell, you can stream video to an online repository that will turn it into a valid file if the connection is interrupted.
- Cameras these days can be small enough to remain hidden while you take pictures.
- Capturing audio can also be useful.
I wonder: is "We would have acted differently if we had known we were recorded" a valid legal defence these days?
How to rescue Java from the men in suits
I don't mind big business
because creating a JSr spec and tck is expensive and time consuming and individuals woul dbe less prone to commit the resources to do it as often as big companies do.
Because there needs to be some obvious return on investement, I'm fine with TCks being closed.
What gripes my a$$ is lack of availability and communication from the expert group, as if they are the only ones who know what they are talking about. It happens.
The worst is that I wouldn't mind having the expert group contain at least a few competent API designers. From my experience, the quality of the specs that come out of the JCP is crap. They are sometimes neither correct nor complete. No automated tool is run on the specs to flag obvious basic problems.

Microsoft tightens grip on OEM Windows 8 licensing
So what happens in a years time when I decide to upgrade my motherboard? Do I have to buy a new version of Windows 8?
Seize your moment, Microsoft: iPad is RUBBISH for enterprise
Lock down
How do I lock down 100 iPads and ensure that they all have the same software on them? How do I roll out upgrades and new apps to all my users iPads? If the answer involves me having to physically touch any of the iPads then it's a fail.
My iPad sits on my sofa where it belongs.
Red Hat: Keep clouds open, like Linux
I love clouds
clocked up somewhere between 35 and 50 years of wall time so far this year, all distributed globally.
I had a look at some of the machines about 2 years ago, needed ear protectors on of course
RHEL is awesome, keep up the good work guys. I'm a happy user.
Apple issues invitations to March 7 iPad roll-out
Have I turned into a fanboi?
I just sold my iPad 1 on ebay for £250. Planning on getting whatever they present on the 7th. My logic was that from the 8th, I'll never get £250 on ebay for my iPad 1.
To be honest, iOS5 absolutely crippled the iPad1. Fifa12 is completely unplayable. I like Fifa12 on the iPad. The recommended solution to the crippling of the iPad 1 is not a software update but to buy a better iPad.
In a reflective drunk sort of manner (I am drubk,btw) [I may be rambling now] I wonder if I'm slowly turning into a fanboi. Lining up with my wallet open ready to swallow whatever kit they want to shove down my throat. Or have I made a cunning move and cashed in while I can and accepted that my iLife can continue without an iDevice for a few weeks??? Hmmmm gonna have to open another can and move onto another article
What's that sound? It's PC sales plummeting into abyss
Just bought a new PC
Well, I assembled it from components I bought from about 6 different online stores. I paid just over £600 for a machine that kicks the crap out of a £1000 PCWorld machine.
Other than the cost, and the screwdriver fun, the big advantage of a DIY system is that you get exactly what you want
Ubuntu republic riven by damaging civil wars
I really like unity
Very happy with unity. It's a bold move by Ubuntu, but a good move. They took a long hard look at gnome-shell and decided to go there own way.
I find it very usable and logical (warning - my logic may differ drastically from yours - but we all know I'm right ;) and am looking forward to seeing where they take it. The dash definitely needs work.
Ctrl+Alt+T opens a terminal. What more do hardcore users want?

Use of Weapons declared best sci-fi film never made
Not Use of Weapons
I've read most Culture books and find that "Use of Weapons" is one of the worse, or more accurately the least best.
It seems unfocused, the wars Zakalwai fights in seem vague and are never explained and once you realise the twist......It was a big disappointment after reading "consider phelbos" and "The player of games", which are much better books. Consider Phelbos would make a much better film.
IMHO the film industry should leave this well alone, they will ruin it
Red Hat: Cloud will anoint next Microsoft
As a user of Red Hat clouds
I say bring it on! I love cloud computing. I clocked up 257 hours of CPU walltime last night, distributed all over the world. Going to be submitting a bigger job for the weekend.
Red hat all the way. At some point in the future we may swap to another Linux, but not for years to come. Microsoft cloud solutions are seen as a bad joke.

Apple brings multi-touch, full-disk crypto to latest OS X
Off site backup is the only backup
Backups are great until you house is burgled, catches fire or the police decide to take it all - you get to loose all your data several times.
Full disk encrypted backup at least stops the burglars looking at your extensive "photo" collection, but legally you have to give the filth the keys. They just lock you up for longer if you don't.
Off site backup, preferably in a different country, is the only real backup. Although that should get you worried about who exactly has, or could have, physical access.
Lion sounds like incremental improvements, nothing radical. I think that this is a good thing.
Intel demos MeeGo 'tablet user experience'
@ Levente Szileszky : Simplicity?
I was half expecting someone like you to accuse me of being an apple fanboi. Ha Ha...
You need to realise that tablets are toys, they are not PCs. Any tablet trying to be a PC is in for FAIL. The Intel MeeGo thing looks like it wants to replace my laptop....it will fail badly. The iPad is a toy that can't do shit but surf the net and play crappy games. I love it for that. I am under no illusions regarding the iPads limitations. IMHO it's not even worth jailbreaking
If I am a fanboi, then it'll be for Linux. Typing this on my Debian testing laptop, see that I did over 2300 hours (walltime) of computing last night on Red Hat clusters around the world.......
After looking at the video...
....I'm sure glad I got an iPad.
Everyone now-a-days thinks that their devices are going to change the way we interact with the world and revolutionise computing. This looks like a great big FAIL.
Too much going on, too many slidey panels, too much stuff that wants to constantly update itself. Looks like it may be halfway useful in a work environment but not quite.
What I love about the iPad is it's simplicity and the fact that it's impossible for me to do any serious work on it. It's for sitting on the sofa, surfing the net and playing crappy games while watching the TV. Tablets will never be anything more than that.

Fedora 14: haven for Ubuntu's homeless GNOMEs
Debian Squeeze anyone??
Debian squeeze is now frozen and very very usable. I've been on it for a few months now. Much nicer than ubuntu. All the good debian stuff without the ubuntu fluff. Buttons in the proper place and no MyFace Twatter IM crap integrated into the desktop
You can be sure that Debian will not force you to use gnome shell or unity, they will simply be an option. If you want gnome 2.30 for the long term, then squeeze is a very good bet.
Not so bothered about Fedora 14, but very much looking forward to getting RHEL6 on the racks at work to give it a bloody good thrashing and see what it's made of
Ubuntu demotes Gnome for Unity netbook look
gnome shell is the new kde4
Gnome are about to do what KDE did a few years back. Complete redesign of a stable product with the new version full of bugs and very difficult to use.
Gnome-shell is awful, I built the latest version a few weeks back and I really can't see how this isn't going to be a complete disaster.
Ubuntu are correct to move away from gnome, although I'm not that impressed with unity screenshots so far (I'd need to test it to give a proper opinion).
Me?? I run Debian squeeze (they've frozen it now, only a few bugs left) and run avant-window-navigator with lots of compiz. I've completely removed the gnome taskbars and am very happy.
HP whips out iPad challenger Windows 7 fondle-slab
@Jimmy Floyd
Yep, your right, tablets are useless for any productive work. Any employee who claims they can do their work on a iPad or other tablet must be doing such remedial work that they may be better off with a mop and bucket
Tablets are toys and any company trying to go up against apple will find out that their toy isn't nearly as shiny as the iPad

Shuttleworth spears Natty Narwhal for Ubuntu 11.04
Debian Squeeze
As I'm sure you all know, ubuntu is derived from Debian. The next Debian release "squeeze" has now been frozen and is well worth a look. It's by and large got more recent packages in it than ubuntu 10.04 and I am very impressed with it.
I got fed up with ubuntu around 9.04 (or was it 8.10) and have been using debian ever since. I've tried out the odd ubuntu every so often on a test machine but it just seems so bloated and never really works as well as a debian machine.
I suspect that the 11.04 release may have gnome-shell in it (aka gnome 3) which requires hardware acceleration - maybe that's Shuttleworths "modern graphics". Gnome-shell has a black theme which you currently can't change, I suspect that this was behind the drop of the poo-brown theme and the new dark theme in ubuntu 10.04....getting everyone ready.
Try gnome-shell on ubuntu (or debian squeeze) with
sudo aptitude install gnome-shell
gnome-shell --replace
Ubuntu will be an early adopter of this. OK, what's in the repos it's still far from release quality, but this may be gnome's KDE4 moment of crapness.
I agree with the other posters, I'm looking forward to RHEL6, it should be real nice (just don't plug a monitor into it - stack the machines in as many racks as you can buy)
Pictures of Ubuntu: Linux's best photo shots at Windows and Mac
KDE Vs Gnome flame war
sigh - any excuse to relight the tinder box that is the KDE Vs gnome flame war.
My opinion is that KDE3 Digikam rocks, anything KDE4 is tainted, and that's why the momentum is now solidly with gnome until they fsck it all up with gnome shell. I tried Digikam (KDE4) on the latest ubuntu and it was so so so slow and full of bloat. KDE4 Digikam reminds me of the disaster that happened to amarok.
I've never liked f-spot and am personally happy using gthumb for my photos. I don't need anything to manage them for me, I'll design my own directory schema thank you very much
A brilliant photo tool that I use all the time in Debian is hugin. It's a photo stitcher for creating panoramic images.
It's great for creating panoramic pictures, I typically scan whatever I'm trying to photo - leaving some overlap between each image. Lets say 10 photos for a 360 view and 10 more going around again giving me a high and low 360 that will give more hight to the panoramic.
Pop all 20 images into hugin and let it do it's thing for 30 minutes and out pops a massive 300MB tiff file which has all the photos stitched together nicely in a whopping 10000x3000 (approx) pixel image.
sudo aptitude install hugin autopana-sift-c
You'll need the debain multimedia or medibuntu repositories for autopana-sift-c as it's not GPL but licensed from the university of British Columbia and it's good for non-commercial use
Russian spy ring bust uncovers tech toolkit
I really hope the FBI aren't using NetStumbler - that's an active scanner. It sends packets out at regular intervals. I'd pick up that someone was using it in a jiffy.
Kismet is a much much better option for this sort of thing. Fully passive. Plug in a wifi card to your PCMCIA slot and set kismet to put it into RFMON mode and scan and record every packet within range and monitor the activity (it'll see shit like NetStumbler no problems bumbling around like the active muppet it is). Then use your regular wifi card to do the spy SIGINT stuff.
I assume that el reg was just having a guess about NetStumbler - because surely the FBI/NSA know what I've just said in much greater detail than I do.
Ten Essential... Travel Speakers
Get the Altec Lansing, works great in muddy fields. Standard 3.5mm jack, AAA batteries, very small and compact, great sound.
I got mine from Tottenham court road a few years back and tried about 6 or 7 different speaker systems that work from batteries and have a 3.5mm jack. The Altec Lansing was by far the best option.
The Altec Lansing is awesome
I've got the Altec Lansing iMT237 Orbit (or maybe an earlier version - had it for 1 1/2 years now) and it is absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.
Excellent sound definition across the spectrum, and you can turn it up loud without it distorting. It's not got a volume control, which IMHO is a good thing, your music player should control that. Works great with my mp3 player and is my preferred laptop speaker. AAA battery powered, you can pick those up anywhere and have a reserve pack.
The build quality is superb, it's solid and compact - I think if it fell out of a 2nd story window it'd probably be OK. It's also really small, so excellent for those ryanair flights where space is everything or you have to fork out for a suitcase. Perfect for holidays and watching films on your laptop in the hotel on business trips.
Linux game-time refined with latest Wine
...Get a console, job done.
I got fed up upgrading my graphics card and CPU all the time and just shelled out for a PS3 and Wii, which is probably cheaper in the long run than a decent CPU+GPU package.
I'm all in favour of wine development, but like the author struggle to think of anything I could use it for......What do people actually use wine for (Photoshop and games aside) on a day-to-day basis?
Re photoshop - Shouldn't the people in the coloured pencil room all be using macs anyways??
Beer, because it's better than wine
Windows 7 Backup gets users' backs up
rsync anyone??
My wife has vista, I've installed cygwin with rsync on in. She clicks a button and enters her password for the server. rsync then backups up all changes over an ssh connection to our server (which is also backed up)
Never had a problem, always runs pretty fast, she can do this from anywhere in the world.
Of course, I don't use Vista....I open a terminal, type backup and get the same results.
FOSS vendors lick chops over ConLib IT plans
I can't stand OOo
I tried to write a presentation in OOo the other day and it was a nightmare. I though, fsck that, and went straight back to LaTeX where everything goes where I bloody well tell it to go and everything is the size that I have specified it to be. And before anyone starts, yes - I do think everyone should be forced to use LaTeX, preferably in vi
While giving the open-plan office monkeys open office will save a packet, the real savings come from private cloud-computing (or big PC farms as we used to call them). Grid software is really advanced nowadays. Want to run your calculation, budget forecast, etc etc??? Then click a little button that submits it to the grid, have half of it run in Manchester and the other half run in Newcastle, and get the job back after lunch time. A general rule if you want this sort of thing to work is that everything in the back-end should be running on red hat (or derivative). And before anyone starts, No - I don't think people should be forced to use red hat on their desktops. If you've plugged a mouse into a red hat machine you've made a mistake, if you've submitted a complex job to a rack of red hat machines you've made a good move.

RHEL 6 - your sensible but lovable friend
@AC who's doing a review
Hi AC,
my organisation has just gone through a lot of pain going from RHEL4 to RHEL5, the majority of the difficulties came from changing gcc and the QT libraries.
We have a lot of code, with many many developers. I''m interested in how easy it would be to migrate from RHEL5 to RHEL6. Will my existing code (c++, java, python) be easy to port?
Is it possible to upgrade a RHEL5 machine to RHEL6 without a clean install? Like you can with ubuntu 9.10->10.04
SCO: jurors too busy Facebooking to rule on Unix claim
Let me be (one of) the first to say

Google to open source $124.6m video codec, says report
Looks good
Shame I'm about a week into re-encoding my entire DVD collection to h.264 (currently using xvid and it's a bit blocky)
Anyone know when there will be a gpl'd encoder?
Mandy quango says Apple, Amazon are too obscure
Panic breaks out in apple marketing
The people in apple marketing must be having a fit at the moment, throwing iPads at pictures of Mandy etc etc
All official security announcements and developer news MUST go through apple marketing first, it's all about brand image etc etc etc......now they are going to get a nu-labour hijacking!!!
What's more, after the way apple has shafted the music biz over the years, the record execs are not going to be too happy having to shell out on apple ads.
Big FAIL icon, any nu-labour policy/recommendation in a long time
One in four UK schoolkids admits hacking
In my day....
I would hack into my classmates accounts and nick their coursework, then delete their copy and leave pron in their user area.
Me and my mates also had several teachers login details which was a lot of fun. We also used to play doom and duke nukem 3d in IT classes, with (the same) 5 PCs rebooting at the same time when the teacher came back.....good days.
I ended up being banned from all IT (including the IT class) for the last year and a half of my GCSEs....
It's official: Adobe Reader is world's most-exploited app
What i'm confussed about
is why photoshop is so good. What's going on? When Adobe hire people do they give them a competence test?
dev gets a A - you go and work on photoshop
dev gets a B - you go and put vulns into reader
dev gets a C - you go and make flash even "better"
Or am I deluded? Is photoshop also riddled with the standard adobe "competence"?
Apple to stick padlocks on books for iPad
Give me a paperback any day
I know it's all very low tech, but I like paperbacks. They feel good, don't run out of battery, it doesn't really matter if you spill tea on them and you can happily throw them at people/cats/out-of-the-window without much worry.
I have the right to sell my paperback, I wonder if apple would offer me the same terms?
I can also take a paperback out of my local library and return it after I've read it, I wonder if apple will let me do the same?
I can easily lend my paperback to my mate, who can then lend it to his mate to read after he's finished. Will apple let me do this?
I'm sure the iBook store will be very shinny, but I miss a rummage at a car boot sale
Archos 9
How does it do 1080p??
You say that it plays 1080p content with WMP12 - How is it going to properly show 1920x1080 content on a shitty 1024x600 display?? Might as well encode the video at 1024x600 and give that piss poor HDD and processor a chance.
This is not the year of the tablet PC, very disappointed with this, very disappointed with the iPad.
Microsoft's innovation mission explained
I know a few MS PHD students
....they're at cambridge (UK), Billy G funds them. All the ones I know use macs and do all their computing on red hat clouds. OK, so I only know 2....but they both use macs
Good Billy G, as he is actually paying people to do whatever the research comunity wants. As in Cambridge gets to decide what they do.
Dear Adobe: It's time for security rehab
Bring on html5
Really like the Canvas part of html5, no need for a plugin. Now if they can just agree on a codec.....
Apple's iPad - fat iPhone without the phone
How will it play with networks??
Sure this big iPod touch will connect via wifi to the internet, but when it gets onto my network will it be able to see my fileserver???
If it will connect to nfs, samba or uPnP then it may be reasonable, if not then how am I going to watch my 400GB+ video collection on it?
My bet is that I'd have to share it with an iTunes server, which is NOT going to happen.
I was seriously considering getting one of these before they announced it. Very much doubt it now. No usb, no DVI for hooking it up to a big monitor, single tasking (WTF!) closed off shiny thing.
Looking at the specs, my first thought is - What, no usb port?? I can't plug in anything I like???
My second thought is - Will this thing let me bring up a terminal?? Can I put gcc on it and compile my own stuff??
God Damn it, I was hoping this thing would run snow leopard not some "simple" ipod os. Another poster got it right. This is NOT A COMPUTER
What it really looks like is something that finds your wallet and drains it every month with apps, iBooks, iTunes, and leaves you iBankrupt
Microsoft yanks leaked Windows Mobile 6.5 tools
Ok, so this SDK isn't a finished product, but how long do they expect developers to sit around for? We don't twiddle our thumbs, we read el reg while waiting for stuff to compile!
I expect most developers are working on iPhone iSlate(or iWhatever_it_is) or Android. Why are MS so late to the game all the time, I thought I saw a youTube vid of monkey boy Balmer shouting "Developers developers developers".
Ladies put off tech careers by sci-fi posters, Coke cans
..."my stack of disposable coffee cups is nearly as high as my monitor", he says looking around at the stacks of hardware (working and knackered piles) and large technical diagram of custom boards and FADC chips.
Maybe I should clean up that coffee stain seeping through the unsorted mess of documents to my right and possibly hoover the crumbs out of my keyboard.....nah, I'll get on with writing some code.....
Mozilla lights fire under Thunderbird
What ubuntu have done
One feature in the latest ubuntu I really like is that you can set your contacts to be stored in the ubuntu one cloud. This means that my 2 laptops and desktop have a synced contact list. Add an address to my contact list on 1 machine, and it's there for all machines!
You need to use evolution as your email client, and that's fine with me, I don't see anything thunderbird can do that evolution cannot. Syncing my evolution calender to gCal was way easier than it is in thunderbird. Evolution is suppose to play well with MS exchange servers....but I have no experience with MS exchange servers so can't offer an informed opinion on this one.
Border agency to start fingerprint checks
very popular then
"1,107 people had voluntarily applied for identity cards" - from a population of over 61m.
Office 2010 fights Google with SharePoint bloat
We use sharepoint at work. It's a word we tend to spit out, much like how the Irish say "Thierry Henry"
Windows 7's dirty secrets revealed
vista partly explained
"by refactoring the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) to avoid a second copy of every Window being held in memory"
ahhhh, so that's what Vista is doing then. I'm sure it's up to some other stuff as well....it bloody well takes its time about it.

Saul Bellow's 1978 story "A Silver Dish" has been has been re-released over at the New Yorker.

There were Woody's two sisters as well, unmarried, in their fifties, very Christian, very straight, still living with Mama in an entirely Christian bungalow.

When the Badgers signed then all-state linebacker Sam Arneson out of Merrill, they had visions of him making some noise as a tight end.
He's getting his chance.
The former NewsChannel 7 All-Star is making his case to be the #2 tight end on the depth chart behind starting junior Jacob Pedersen.
The sophomore's main competition, Brian Wozniak, will miss the rest of spring with a groin injury. Arneson has gotten a lot of time with the first unit this spring, gaining some valuable reps.

I have several Komachi knives. I haven't had a problem with the coating, even after self sharpening them.
They do dull relatively fast, but for the price, you can afford a nice sharpener.
I don't think that they go dull fast at all unless compairing to a super steel (which I don't want for kitchen anyway....hold an edge longer, but also takes longer to sharpen!)
christillman ( 354 ) Oct. 1, 2012 at 9:13am
The "liquid coating" was shown to contain BPA on Komachi 1 knives. Is the same true for Komachi 2? I don't see any information that they did anything to remedy the BPA problem. It seems to me that when your cutting with BPA material, the material has a high degree of leaching into the food...almost like your imbedding BPA into what your cutting.
Stainless steel is a pain to sharpen, but it no worries about chemicals.
imcoolanytime ( 58 ) Oct. 1, 2012 at 9:16am
Thanks OP! Had to get these because of SD
I have one I only use for tomatoes, green bell peppers, and onions (the pink 2-pack previously on FP). The out-of-package edge lasted about 2.5 weeks of daily use.
Before sharpening, they were a shadow of their former selves...lol.

I'm here to see a man.
Oh yeah? You have a friend living in Okinawa?

Never? Who is he, may I ask?
Hattori Hanzo.
What do you want with Hattori Hanzo?
I need Japanese steel.
Why do you need Japanese steel?
I have vermin to kill.
You must have big rats if you need Hattori Hanzo's steel.
