UK citizens to Microsoft: Oi. We WANT ODF as our doc standard
Re: Open Source Means Choice
Sure, OOXML is possible for others to implement, except:
1. The document is 6000 pages long!
2. Office 2007 does not conform to the OOXML standard.
3. The standard contains things like "useWord97LineBreaks", but does not specify what this means and even fails to describe others (e.g. suppressRef mentioned in the numFmt definition is not defined [http://www.robweir.com/blog/2008/03/how-many-defects-remain-in-ooxml.html#comment-1687] -- not sure if they addressed this during the review process).
4. It references and describes other formats (e.g. VML) that were rejected as standard formats on their own.
5. It uses inconsistent and incoherent naming (e.g. bkPtFixedVal, basedOn, next, val).
6. There were many defects raised against the OOXML specification (upward of 1 defect every 6 pages), it is not clear how many of these were addressed.
7. Several properties are binary bitmasks or similar.
OOXML currently has one implementation (Office >= 2012/2013) and several buggy implementations (Office 2007, LibreOffice, etc.), whereas ODF has several implementations. If OOXML was a good standard then there would be more conforming implementations.

Firefox OS: Go away fanbois, fandroids - you wouldn't understand
Assistive Technologies
Does anyone have any information on how text-to-speech voices and other assistive technologies (like TalkBack and BrailBack on Android) will work on Firefox OS?
Also, how does this work with loading data files (e.g. voice/language data).
Google research chief: 'Emergent artificial intelligence? Hogwash!'
Didn't Larry Page's keynote speech talk about doing the impossible?
AI is a complex problem. There are tricks that can mimick intelligence -- knowledge/decision trees for interactions and statistical models for natural language processing.
There are other models/approaches -- neural networks and evolutionary algorithms -- that take a more life-like approach to the problem. These are where an emergent AI could form, provided that it could alter/improve its own code (e.g. via genetics modelling), that it has enough flexibility in terms of inputs and outputs to interact with its environment in a meaningful way and has enough computation power to do this in a reasonable timeframe.
UK.Gov passes Instagram Act: All your pics belong to everyone now
Re: Re "Royally Fucked"...
The removal of metadata from photos and other electronic documents should be illegal. It's like taking a document that says "Copyright (C) YYYY Author. Licensed under whatever conditions the author has chosen.", removing those and claiming it is orphaned. You are not allowed under law to do that, so the same should be true with the metadata a document/photo has, because the metadata is part of that file.
This would, IMHO solve the problems here, in addition to educating people about providing metadata for their work just like educating people about adding copyright notices to their scripts/books/poems/etc..

Study: Most projects on GitHub not open source licensed
There are several things going on here:
1. GitHub uses and encourages the use of the Jekyll static site generator. This is written in Ruby and any shared Jekyll plugins will be in Ruby as well.
2. There are a lot of projects that are the code for various websites of the people/organisations running them. These tend to be liberally licensed (MIT, BSD, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, Public Domain).
3. The website projects tend to get detected as either JavaScript (if the site makes heavy use of JavaScript) or Ruby (if the site makes use of Jekyll plugins). Same with other HTML/text only projects -- GitHub detects these as JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Shell, etc.
4. GitHub attracted the Ruby and Ruby on Rails communities, so there are proportionally more Ruby projects than others. Most of these tend to be licensed under liberal licenses (MIT, BSD, Public Domain).
5. The website projects do not necessarily have an explicit LICENSE/COPYING file, but specify the license in either the README/README.md file or in a HTML footer or layout file that gets pulled into the pages when the site is generated by Jekyll. Or to put it another way, do any of the websites you visit have a COPYING/LICENSE file?
6. Some projects have a LICENSE.txt or LICENSE-MIT/LICENSE-APACHE file. It is unclear if these were detected in the study.
7. There are a lot of forks of various projects -- GitHub actively encourages this. It is unclear if the number of repositories examined were the primary repositories or if it also included forks.
8. There are mirrors of other projects like Firefox and LLVM/Clang hosted on GitHub. It is unclear what proportion of projects this is from the study.
It would also be useful to show the correlation of license types to languages used.
Also, this is like studying the licenses on projects.apache.org and finding that there are no GPL/LGPL licensed projects.
Top Firefox OS bloke flames Opera for WebKit surrender
Re: WebKit alone
The first problem with this is that different renderers interpret the standards differently. Case in point: IE5-7 CSS Box Model. They fail the Acid 2 rendering tests. If there is a single renderer, there is no motivation to fix any issues ("our interpretation is correct"). Having multiple renderers helps keep each other sane w.r.t. the standards.
The second problem is that different renderers implement different parts of the standard at different times. Case in point: MathML and SVG. Mozilla have had MathML implemented for a long time, same with SVG. WebKit is only just adding support for MathML. IE has only added cut-down SVG as of IE9 and a more complete version as of IE10. If there was a single renderer, there would be no incentive to implement the other specs (how long has Microsoft dragged their heels on SVG support).
The third problem is that having a single renderer, there will be less sway for others to push for standards as they do not have an implementation to base it on. Especially if the single implementation is pushing their own version.
Also, think about things like eBook readers or text-to-speech/assistive technology programs reading web content. Those have different requirements which may be counter to what the single renderer provides, which that renderer will be reluctant to provide as they go against their goals (think of things like SSML support and the CSS Speech module).
'Programming on Windows 8 just like playing bingo' - Microsoft VP
Re: Still waiting for a decent Java IDE
Actually, there is the .NET 1.0 CLR, .NET 2.0 CLR (supporting generics) and .NET 4.0 CLR. I am not sure if .NET 1.1 uses the 1.0 CLR or if .NET 4.5 uses the 4.0 CLR, so that is at least 3 runtimes. The other .NET versions have different libraries that execute on those runtimes.
The ECMA standard only applies to .NET 1.0 (maybe 1.1 or 2.0). It only covers a portion of the .NET library -- it excludes things like the Microsoft namespace, XML/XSL, WinForms, WPF, WCF, ASP.NET and other APIs. There hasn't been an update of the ECMA standard to cover new C#/other language features written on top of the CLR, or the newer runtimes and libraries.
So if you are targetting the ECMA standard, you will be using C# 1.0 or 2.0 with a limited library available to you that excludes any UI or Web framework. Mono supports a lot more than that and tracks Microsoft's implementation of C#/.NET.
And, for a large part, C# programs written for Windows make use of P/Invoke to call into the underlying Win32/64 APIs so cannot easily be ported to Mac/Linux/BSD/... -- they need to run on Wine.
Re: thx for asking about variadic templaces
Variadic templates simplify things like std::tuple and std::function and forwarding functions (think of things like std::bind1st, std::bind2nd and boost::bind). The way Boost and VC2012 implement them is to explicitly generate N versions of those classes/functions (1 template arg, 2, ..., N). For example:
template<typename T1> struct tuple;
template<typename T1, typename T2> struct tuple;
template<typename T1, typename T2, ..., typename Tn> struct tuple;
With variadic templates, this simplifies to:
template<typename T1...> struct tuple;
This is not only less code (easier to maintain), but the compiler performance is orders of magnitude better at compiling them (memory and speed). The gcc version goes from exponential time with the number of template parameters to a second. [See http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/cpp/variadic-templates.html].

'Your app will work on Windows 8 - but please rewrite it anyway'
Microsoft's Problem with Legacy APIs
Each new API that Microsoft introduces either wraps existing APIs (MFC, WinForms, ...) or is a subset of the APIs it intends to replace (GDI+, .NET, WPF, Silverlight, WinRT, ...), while offering new functionality not available in the other APIs.
Take the .NET runtime APIs for example. They are not a complete replacement of the Win32 APIs, forcing you in cases where you need that functionality (e.g. interacting with existing Win32/64 code) to use P/Invoke. However, Microsoft don't provide a set of P/Invoke wrappers for the Win32 API or include them in the corresponding Win32 documentation on MSDN. This means you end up with duplicated P/Invoke declerations that may contain bugs if incorrectly declared (e.g. unicode support).
For Win32 programs, the underlying Win32 API does not provide UI functionality such as Docking/Floating toolbars; these are written in the wrapper APIs (WTL, MFC, WinForms, ...), so you end up with an inconsistent user experience (accessibility, theming, keyboard shortcuts, ...) and more duplicate code.
The .NET 4 runtime is the first version that WPF/XAML properly supports rendering fonts on the screen, making it acceptable for UIs. However, it still lacks UI available in Win32 (date/time selection), renders keyboard focus for things like radio buttons and check boxes differently to Win32 (focus is on the checkbox, not the text) and keyboard navigation is also inconsistent with Win32.
Now, with WinRT, the XAML available does not support everything that WPF does and still does not have equivalents for all the Win32 native controls. The WinRT subset of Win32 is severely limited and restricted. This means that WinRT applications are going to be simple applications. Companies with their existing Win32/WinForms/WPF applications are not going to port their applications to WinRT overnight, and if they do are more likely to port their mobile versions over, not the desktop versions over. This is because desktop and WinRT are completely different platforms for all intents and purposes (e.g. it is like porting a Win32 desktop application to WinCE or WinPhone).
Big biz 'struggling' to dump Windows XP
Delaying the Inevitable
The longer a company delays migration, the harder it will become to perform that migration and the technology will move even further ahead (with Windows 8 and IE10 currently on the horizon). Given the amount of time that has passed, these companies could have had a small team looking at migration plans and creating something that would work on the newer platforms. This would help them when the actual migration occurs.

'Dated and cheesy' Aero ripped from Windows 8
Re: General consensus
I'm sure Windows 8 will be a huge success for (a) people running new Windows 8 tablets (x86 or ARM), (b) people who are primarily content consumers, (c) people who tend to do one thing at a time on their computer. For everything else, it is going to be anywhere from annoying to a nightmare depending on what you are trying to do.
I don't know how bad it will be at launch, but over time you will see two trends emerging:
1/ simple applications (photo editors, image viewers, PDF viewers, etc.) will move to Metro;
2/ complex applications (desktop publishing, advanced image manipulation, music creation, etc.) will remain as desktop applications.
This is driven by the fact that the Metro programming interfaces lack a lot of the more advanced features (no date/time controls, etc.) and the more complex interfaces do not fit within the Metro design language.
Couple this with the inability to say "use this application in Metro and this other application on the Desktop" means that users working in the desktop are going to be constantly kicked into the Metro world to view content (images, documents, etc.) unless they say "use a desktop version (if I can find one that works on Windows 8)" in which case the Metro experience is broken as that will put you into the desktop world when viewing those files from the Metro environment.
I also wonder how all this is going to work on the server. Microsoft may default to the desktop there (it is for corporate/business environments, after all), then charge people extra for it.
Microsoft unveils Windows 8 'release preview' for June
Re: Launch song?
Jack of all trades, master of none?
The secret to getting rich in 2012: Open APIs
Open API = Normal API
An API is an interface applications use to do something that a platform provides. Yes, there are internal APIs restricted to a companies applications, but any platform provides "open" APIs that anyone can program to.
Windows provides Win32, COM, DirectX, .NET, and others. Linux/Open Source provides Qt/KDE, GTK+, Pango, readline, ncurses, WebKit, SDL, Cairo, OpenGL and others. Mac provides Cocoa, Carbon and others. Firefox provides XUL, JetPack and other APIs for extension developers. Chrome provides NaCL. Bugzilla provides an API for accessing its data. Flash does the same.
Major websites that provide a platform to interact with their services (Facebook, Twitter, Google). These APIs will be some form of AJAX serving XML or JSON data. How do you interact with these? Using HTTP, XML and JSON APIs provided by a framework (web browser, .NET, Qt) or a collection of libraries (libxml2, expat, curl and others).
That is, you can use the twitter API to provide a twitter feed on a Windows desktop, Windows 8 start screen, KDE plasmoid, as a Gnome Shell extension or anything else you can think of. Or write a Gnome application that triggers a notification whenever someone posts to your Facebook wall.
'Real' JavaScript benchmark topped by...Microsoft
Right now, the main thing holding back Firefox is that their Garbage Collection algorithm is slower than Chrome, and introduces pauses when it runs. So for day-to-day performance issues, that is where the difference is likely to be. They are working on this at the moment, and have landed some improvements to the FF5 and FF6 code lines.
All the different benchmarks are equally valid, they are just testing different aspects of JavaScript and different optimisation techniques that are possible.

German Foreign Office kills desktop Linux, hugs Windows XP

Or how about communicating the usability issues they are having with the OpenOffice (and/or LibraOffice/Document Foundation now) and working with the community. How about talking to the kernel/distro developers about the issues they are having.
If they are not reporting the issues, they cannot be fixed.

Nokia's developers wait and wait for Windows Phone
Nokia Plan
1. Aquire the Symbian platform
2. Drop the Symbian platform to work on Moblin (which needs work to be competitive: ~1year away)
3. Wait until Moblin is nearing completion
4. Drop Moblin for MeeGo (which needs work to be competitive: ~1year away)
5. Wait until MeeGo is maturing and nearing initial revision
6. Drop MeeGo for Windows Mobile 7 (which needs work to be competitive: ~1year away)
Net result: Symbian is acting as life support while Nokia spends years not having a viable replacement.
7. Wait until Windows Mobile 7 is nearing completion
8. Drop Windows Mobile 7 for Android
W3C tackles HTML5 confusion with, um, more confusion
Validity and Compliance
Because the standards that fall under the HTML5 umbrella are in draft/candidate status, it is impossible to say "this site conforms to HTML5" or "this site conforms to CSS3 Box Model". The best you can say at this point is "This site is using experimental features of HTML5, CSS3, etc.".
The purpose of the mini logos is to show which experimental features of HTML5, CSS3, etc. are being used, so instead of saying "This site uses HTML 5" it says e.g. "HTML5 Powered with CSS3 / Styling, Multimedia, and Semantics".
The W3C have HTML5 markup validation support in their http://validator.w3.org/ markup validation suite, but don't provide a logo for it again due to the draft status.

Microsoft wades into interwebulator chat about Hotmail
My List
1. Spam Filtering -- light-years ahead in GMail.
2. UI -- Feels clunky in Hotmail; I personally prefer (on the whole) the GMail UI.
3. Threaded Emails -- a must to prevent being swamped in emails on medium to high mailing lists.
4. Labels -- much better than folders; the ability to have an email in more than one label (e.g. filtering email from mailing lists that are sent to more than one, or tracking status/workflow); combined with filters, this is a very powerful feature.
5. Coloured Labels -- easily see what email belongs where.
6. Labs -- tweaks to customise your UI experience.
Firefox 4 beta gets hard on Windows
Firefox on Linux works great
Firefox uses the relevant APIs on the target platform -- XRender+OpenGL on Linux, Direct2D if available and DirectX on Windows and the Mac APIs (Quartz?) on Mac.
The spinning picture demo got 91 FPS on the Windows machine used to test. I am getting 83 FPS on my Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit machine with the NVidia binary.
The IE fishtank demos I am getting 60FPS up to 100 fishes, 50-60FPS @ 250, 35-42 @ 500 and 16-22 @ 1000.
Also, the psychedelic test provides comparable performance -- 1830 on Win7 vs 1739 on Ubuntu for the colour test and 603 on Win7 vs 599 on Ubuntu for the hallucinogenic test.
Of course these results will vary depending on your graphics card and driver being used.
Popular apps don't bother with Windows defences
backwards thinking
Microsoft have always done these things backwards.
A Windows application also needs to opt in to get the XP or later themed look. If they don't, they get the 9x/2000 look and look out of place.
Understanding this article
Newer versions of Windows add functionality that applications need to be built against to work. These help secure against certain attacks.
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) makes applications more resilient against techniques that make use of attacks to write code to an area of the program that contains data and then call into that code.
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) changes where core DLLs are loaded to in the application at load time so the location is non-deterministic. This makes it harder to use attacks that make use of that knowledge.
These features don't make applications invulnerable to attacks, but they make it harder for an attacker to exploit weaknesses in the code.
Microsoft badmouths Google competition - again
And therein lies the spin. It's all about marketing.
"When was the last time you called Google for help recovering a lost Google Doc?" implies that (a) losing Google Docs is a common occurrence and that (b) Google don't provide easy access to help to recover the file(s) -- something that Microsoft is promoting.
"When was the last time you lost a Google Doc?" implies that you rarely need to contact Google for help, so it is not much of an issue. Microsoft can't do anything in response to that question as it makes Google look better.
Microsoft releases accelerated, canvas-ized IE9 preview
hardware acceleration
Firefox 4 has hardware acceleration support using the Vista/Win7 technologies that IE9 is using (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=527707). This is currently being tested to hake out any remaining issues.
I don't know about Opera or WebKit/Chrome, but I suspect they have a similar thing in the works.
Microsoft bares Steve Jobs' Flash rant claptrap
The Microsoft Office Suite is likely to be a very large code base, of which Mac is not a primary target (so will get fewer development resources allocated to it). Porting existing applications from one platform / toolkit to another is a lot of work.
All this means is that Microsoft did not complete the transition to Cocoa for this release of Office. It says nothing about the credibility of Steve Jobs or the Cocoa framework.
That's like saying that colour comics are not a credible media because a comic could not be coloured in time for release and was released in black & white instead.
Apple lifted 'make web go away' button from open source
The choice of License and development strategy is dependent on the developer(s) of the project and how they want the project to be used.
If the developers don't want people to see or modify the code, they should use a proprietary model.
If the developer wants people to see the code, but not necessarily contribute back and are happy with people using their code in proprietary code bases / products, they should use a BSD-style license.
If the developer wants people to see the code and contribute back any and all changes to the code, and is happy with people using the code in proprietary code bases / products as a library / external module, they should use the LGPL license.
If the developer wants people to see the code and contribute back any and all changes to the code, and is not happy with people using the code in proprietary code bases / products as a library / external module, they should use the GPL license.
It is that simple.
People who choose the GPL license do not necessarily have a vendetta against the evils of capitalism and large corporations. The GPL does not forbid capitalists or large corporations from using the software.
Likewise, people who choose a BSD-style license are not anti-Open Source.

Net downloads cause 'millions of lost jobs'
In adition to the other comments
We have had this little thing called a *recession* that nearly turned into a depression. I personally have switched to saving (with the odd gadget purchase and a few CDs/DVDs every now and then) and some subscriptions/services.
With the film industry constantly pushing new technologies on consumers (we've had HDMI/Hi-Def compatible vs compliant; we've had HD-DVD vs BluRay; and now we've got 3D that's set to push people to buy more technology). These changes have happened (and are happening) over a lot shorter pace than happened previously -- you upgrade everything to find that you are promptly out of date. If you get burned once, you are less likely to upgrade in the future.
Spending fortunes on everything (food, mortgage/rent, clothes, devices, hardware, services/subscriptions, bills, cinema, travel/petrol, dvds/cds, games, ...) all adds up. So you end up choosing what to spend it on, or save it to help survive in the future (or for a bigger investment, like a house).
People are also spending less because we are not as cavalier about debt as we were at the height of the spending boom (adding debt to spend on consumables and entertainment). It is now the morning after, and the world (UK, US and others especially) is suffering a major hangover.

Polygamist Microsoft picks Amazon as latest Linux wife
Put up or shut up
Microsoft know that if they show the patents that Linux software is (allegedly) infringing that the said patents will be worked around (look at what happened with the VFAT patent after the TomTom case). Either that, or the patents will be investigated for prior art (by the excellent Grok/law team and others) or will similarly be tested in court for obviousness. Any way, this is bad for Microsoft.
Microsoft also don't want long drawn-out legal battles -- they would rather let others like SCO and the patent trolls do this for them. They prefer to make quick settlements behind closed doors. This allows them to say "look, Linux is infringing on our IP -- just see TomTom, Amazon and others -- so you'd better pay us for using Linux, or else.".
Notice also how Microsoft are choosing their battles and picking the easy targets who are more likely to cave when threatened with law suites and choose quick out of court settlements. I suspect that "Amazon's use of Linux-based servers" is because of their cloud offering, but you don't see Microsoft suing Google because they use Linux servers.
The whole thing reeks of racketeering and Mafia-like practices. The patent system and the US sue-first culture is steeped in corruption and illegal (or borderline illegal) practices. One of the problems is that it is these entities that have enough money and power to influence legislation -- which is one of the reasons that makes me uneasy about ACTA.

Spider-Man 4 washed down plughole
The Reboot Craze
Very little original content has come out of Hollywood in recent years (adaptation, sequel or reboot). Sometimes, a reboot of a series works out well (like Batman Begins/The Dark Knight and Star Trek), but is more often likely to result in failure. At least with the Batman films, there was some time between the last outing and Begins.
At least with avatar (while similar in structure to Pocahontas and Dances With Wolves) there were interesting ideas and attention to detail that made it enjoyable.
The more interesting and original films are coming from indie film makers.
It seems like Hollywood is backing 3D technology to make up for its lack of originality. Come up with something that is original, has good characters that evolve throughout the film and have an interesting story.

Windows 7's dirty secrets revealed
@Will 3
Great, you now have an application that behaves differently when run by a user/tester to when you are running it in the debugger.
I see at least two fundamental problems with this:
1. testers/users may initially see the application crashing, but when they try and reproduce it, the issue magically disappears -- great for consistency and reproducibility!
2. when debugging the application to investigate a different issue, the application starts randomly breaking.
Welcome to the Microsoft uncertainty principle!
Here's another question -- what happens when drivers (e.g. NVidia) start crashing, where does FTH apply then (to the kernel? on kernel memory?).

Windows 7 lessons - the must know before you buy
I'll have a slight problem upgrading to Win7
as my home PC is running Ubuntu. Happily, I have upgraded to the latest pre-release version of Ubuntu, and it is great. Not perfect (no software is), but the Ubuntu guys have done a good job.
From what I can tell, Microsoft have created a decent OS with Win7 -- improved and streamlined the features offered in Vista, just like they did with Win2000 to XP. Time will tell how it does.
Things are looking interesting with Snow Leopard and other OSes (the BSD's, OpenSolaris, Android, Moblin and more). Consumer choice and competition is a good thing.
Mozilla plans to tie Firefox 3.7 pigtails in pretty Ribbon

You are not going bonkers. Mozilla are not adding the ribbon to Firefox. If they did, it might look like this:
not this:
The section being quoted is about the direction of applications in general in reference to not showing the menubar. This is used as justification to remove the menubar for Vista and later (under a section about hiding the menubar no less), not about adding Ribbon to Firefox.
See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Sprints/Windows_Theme_Revamp/Direction_and_Feedback#Hiding_of_the_Menubar.
Microsoft and Intel port Silverlight to Linux
Broad Linux
If Linux is running on a platform that competes with Microsoft's dominant position (desktop), Silverlight is not supported so use Moonlight; if Linux is running on a platform that is new/emerging (Moblin), yeah Silverlight is supported!
Microsoft: Screw people running the desktop, they should be running Windows 7 and Silverlight.
IBM Linux chief: Chasing desktop Windows a 'dead-end'
Catch 22
Windows has the majority share on the desktop. This means that hardware manufacturers focus on this platform (especially graphics card and made-for-Windows hardware), so hardware support is less than ideal. Software developers and game developers focus on Windows as it has majority share. As a result, Windows keeps its majority share.
If people like Redhat and now IBM give up on the Linux desktop, hardware manufacturers will have less incentive to care and major applications slip (adobe give up on flash support, mozilla drop Linux as an officially supported platform, as does OpenOffice). This then results in more people abandoning Linux.
The same goes, as mentioned in the article, if Linux focuses on being a niche platform -- why should OpenOffice be supported on a platform that has specialised on providing a web-only platform, for example? I don't want to see this happen -- if it did, though, I would revert back to a LinuxFromScratch system.
Linux can -- and does -- make a good desktop platform. Is it perfect? No. (But neither is Windows.) One of its strengths (and weaknesses) is that it is very flexible: it can run on anything from mainframes, desktops, laptops, netbooks down to smartphones, portable media players and routers.

Mutton is the toughest I have even tasted...to the point even the fork cannot poke into it. Explanation from staff is that because it is cooked in gravy...DUH!!!

Jul 27, 2012I got hooked on this show after watching the pilot of season 1. In addition to having an interesting ongoing plot throughout the season, each episode has its own supernatural mystery. A big strength of the first season is the supporting cast and their chemistry with the lead character Bo. The relationship between Bo and Dyson is very compelling, and I love the friendship between Bo and Kenzi (Bo's roommate and former con-artist). Kenzi's character is hilarious, and manages to bring out the best in every character. Season 2 was a disappointment as it lacked the awesome camaraderie between Bo, Dyson and Kenzi. I'm hoping that the 3rd season brings back some of the qualities that I loved in the first season.… Expand
Jan 18, 2012Season 2 is finishing up here in Canada. I enjoyed the earlier episodes of season 1 -- though it becomes a bit boring and uninspired towards the end of season. The downward spiral continues in season 2, and I stopped watching after the first few episodes. The glowing eyes while someone's essence-cloud is sucked out gets old quick, unfortunately it's the most often used effect.
My favorite is Lost Girl's sidekick, with comedic timing that rises above the material -- I expect she'll become a household name in years to come :-) A fun show early on, but the writers make it easy to give up on the show as it progresses to a 2nd season.… Expand
Feb 9, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cant stand the starting of the show, for the pilot it was ok, not for the second season anymore. And the cheesy one-liners just do not work, they should give it up already. I did like the 1 season a lot, but im getting more and more annoyed with the show. Yes, we know the wolf-boy doesn't want the succubus anymore. Everybody knows that, besides the succubus. I never felt so neutral about a main character before. She is supposed to ge so important, with prophecies and all that, but when she actually does something in the show, she always gets her ass kicked first, while acting like a bad ass. Also this dragged out lesbian thing going on with the blond doctor? Never though seeing two women kiss could be so boring. The main character never uses her powers for anything, besides calming people down, which has to be the cheapest of all the tricks a succubus can do. I would like to just keep watching the show without her in it. Love the sidekick and the dwarf/bar owner/blood king though. I hope they start focusing more on all the creatures and magic.… Expand
Jan 21, 2012Disclaimer: I only watched the first episode. It was so bad that I was unable to watch any more.
I gave this show a shot based on the Metacritic plot summary; seemed interesting enough. The show turned out to be what I'd term as "very TV" meaning that the directing, acting, writing, and design are all corny and far below the level of quality that you would expect from a movie.
The costume and scenic design are both over the top and completely unbelievable. Not "unrealistic" in a clever way that makes any type of comment, but in an empty Hollywood way where every piece looks as though worked great as a standalone sketch on the drawing board. Somehow the elements don't come together as a whole.
The worst travesties begin with the writing. The initial concept had something going for it; the execution was more or less unimaginative beyond that point. The dialogue is full of cheesy one-liners that lack any real wit, and it is all delivered by actors who are by all means..."acting." I'm not sure there was even a director present who did anything more than tell the editor when to cut camera.… Expand
Feb 10, 2013Overall, this is a good show with interesting and endearing characters as well as a pretty neat mythology. In lost girl, magical beings secretly live in modern society and are all various species of fae. There's succubi, werewolves, sirens, nymphs, and so on. These creatures are split in allegiance to two groups: the Light Fae, and the Dark. Bo, the protagonist, begins as a woman with freaky powers who isn't sure what she is or who her real parents are (she was adopted). Bo comes to discover that she is a lost member of the fae community, but because she was raised apart from them she's unfamiliar with their culture and ways of doing things and becomes determined to continue to live her own life. She pairs up with a few allies and the show becomes a crime drama/fantasy hybrid.
Where the show excels is definitely in its characters and the intrigue of getting to know the world. Bo is intensely likeable and empathic, despite her somewhat dark past (stemming from her uncontrollable and misunderstood abilities). Her friend and sidekick, a young human thief with street smarts, adds a lot of comedy and energy. Bo's also quickly given a very sexy hunk of a love interest. So between the warmth and budding bonds and the mystery of the Light and Dark that Bo struggles to at once stay away from and side with, it holds your attention. However, it's not perfect. The show's weakest points are when it delves to far into either standalone crime episodes and becomes typical Law Order with a little magic thrown in, or big action mythology arcs that get outlandish to the point of cheese and not being able to connect to it any longer. Additionally, minor pop-up characters are frequently hammy and b-movie to the extreme, which is especially glaring when they're supposed to serve an episodes' antagonist. I recommend it to genre fans looking for a good time and some new characters to get into (as the main cast is solid). It nowhere reaches the masterpiece heights of, say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but it is comparable to shows like Being Human and Moonlight (although with a much heavier dose of magic). Maybe a better way to phrase it would be to say that it sits comfortably between a A-grade Buffy and a D-grade Charmed.… Collapse
Aug 15, 2014Just started watching this show and am catching up. Just finished looking at season 2. I must say i m very disappointed with the outcome of this storyline. They built up this war coming with the Garuda, who is supposed to be this all powerful being. Some Fae are being controlled by him, others leaving city out of fear of the coming battle. Now, what did we wind up getting? A cast of thousands of light and dark Fae fighting it out with the Garuda minions on the bloodied plains? Nope, we got 15 people fighting it out in an abandoned asylum and the all powerful Garuda going out in a puff of smoke. Talk about anti-climatic. I'm done with this series.
Worst character in this series is Kenzi. I mean do we really need a ''sidekick'' spewing out the one liners every time she opens her mouth? She just really gets on my nerves. Anyway, 'nuff said, i m outta here big time.… Expand
Dec 2, 2013Smart and funny show with the biggest heart.
This show is about the characters and i have to say it has an amazing cast and they have fun making this and it really comes through. It deserves least a 9 because it achieves what it tries to, which is to have a good story with characters you love.
Nov 26, 2014I have made it all the way to season 3, but is still a bit of a struggle, I find myself losing interest or skipping through scene's and when I do, I can see I haven't missed much.
It is very same same, dark fae, light fae, I don't really see the difference. I found the only episode to be any different was when Bo was in Prison for a short time, because it felt like they were doing something different as the series was progressing outside the bar and the shack, but within the same episode, it was back to fighting the dark fae, her back in her shack and me losing interest again.
Dyson, a boring mundane character, Hale who really is a pointless character in the whole series with whistling skills (whoop) that he barely ever uses (because they are pointless) Trick who just is an encyclopedia of fae's and pulls the odd pint. Kenzi is the only one of the characters who makes the show a little more entertaining with her craic and obviously Bo, well she is the eye candy that makes it worth watching.
The only good thing they did mange with this show is to get good looking characters...all besides Lauren, who basically is just a block of wood that does not excud any sexual attraction whatsoever who should be fae...the robot fae.
I don't know how this managed to pull off 5 seasons, but hopefully it will get better, but so far, it's pretty stuck in its ways and has no imagination for a good plot.… Expand
Girl has a surprisingly casual sense of humor and Anna Silk is physically just right in the lead role. [13 Feb 2012, p.45]
With a witty script by series creator Michelle Lovretta, Lost Girl mixes mystery-of-the-week plots and character stories with an overarching mythology in a way that's palatable for fans of serialized and procedural dramas.
The action and whimsy help compensate for an overall flatness in the rest of the ensemble casting and low-budget production.

A 56-year-old man pleaded guilty Friday in Allen Superior Court to a single count of child molesting.
Originally charged with six charges of child molesting, including four Class A felonies punishable by 20 to 50 years in prison, Thomas A. Carboni pleaded guilty to one of two Class C felony charges punishable by up to eight years.
Carboni, of the 3000 block of Lincolndale Avenue, admitted to touching a young girl to satisfy his own sexual desires.
While his attorney asked him if he committed the crime, Carboni said yes but gently shook his head no.
The crimes took place between March 2011 and May 2013 and came to light when a woman told police Carboni was molesting her daughter, whom he knew. The girl told investigators he began molesting her when she was 3 years old.
He faces a suspended prison sentence and a four-year term of probation when he is sentenced.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Cricket Australia (CA) have reached a collaborative decision to cancel Australia's four-day warm-up match against a South Africa Invitational XI scheduled from 5-8 February in Potchefstroom. There has been torrential rain in the area over the last few days which has hampered the squad's training, with the forecast for the coming days also looking gloomy. Australia will travel to Johannesburg today, and are scheduled to have practice at SuperSport Park in Centurion tomorrow morning.
Australia have also postponed the open media session which was scheduled for Tuesday, 5 February. Further details will be advised in due course.
Australia's media and training schedule for the remainder of the week will also be advised as soon as possible.

The head sculpt is amazing, same with the Jet Pileder! I wish it had a light up "eyes" feature, but I'm fine with it as is. May have to customize it myself (light up eyes) later. ;)

Zack Wheeler is one of the young arms the New York Mets are counting on to fuel a turnaround next season and the 24-year-old has spent the past two months showing why he is considered one of the team's top pitching prospects. Wheeler, who is 6-1 with a 2.17 ERA in his past 11 starts, takes the mound Monday as the Mets open a three-game set at the Miami Marlins. The Marlins have seen plenty of good pitching lately, losing six times on a nine-game road trip and scoring a total of five runs in their past four defeats.Miami is 37-31 at home this season but is nine games under .500 on the road. With 14 of their final 27 games away from home, the Marlins need to play well in this week's home games against the Mets and Atlanta to bolster their chances of finishing with a winning record for the first time since 2009. New York closer Jenrry Mejia recorded two saves against Philadelphia over the weekend and is 21-for-24 in save opportunities since moving to the bullpen in early May.TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Florida (Miami) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Zack Wheeler (9-9, 3.44 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Henderson Alvarez (10-6, 2.75)Wheeler was 3-8 with a 4.45 ERA on June 26, but has allowed two earned runs or less 10 times in his past 11 outings. He won six decisions in a row before losing to Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing two earned runs (three total) with seven strikeouts in seven innings. Wheeler is 2-0 in four starts against the Marlins this season, giving up just two earned runs and striking out 31 in 27 2/3 innings.Like Wheeler, Alvarez also had a winning streak end in his last outing, giving up five runs on eight hits Wednesday to fall to the Los Angeles Angels and end a four-start streak. He gave up just seven earned runs in 28 innings in his four previous starts. Alvarez makes his fifth start of 2014 against New York, going 2-1 with a 2.73 ERA against the Mets.WALK-OFFS1.

My Swedish friends say...
...it's a complete stitch-up.
All this information and more has been in the public domain in Sweden for quite a while. The overwhelming majority of the population appear to be surprised at the action of their authorities in this case - they find it all highly unusual. And most think that that the case, is an excuse the get Assange detained somewhere, prior to an extradition to the US.
As a country, Sweden isn't usually one to kow-tow to American whims, but nor are they usually pitched against the US either - so I tend to take these opinions at face value.

Best RC Ever?
To be fair, the RC has been rock solid for me over the last few months. Quite literally not a single problem with it - perhaps I got lucky. Then again, having had regular problems with XP until then, in 2006 I installed Vista x64 and have had a performant & hassle-free experience since. Choosing Linux over Windows is a reasonable choice for some people, but running XP on post-2006 hardware is just folly.
I'm not an MS fanboi - but credit where credit is due. While W7 is still missing some of the features promised for Vista (WinFS anyone?), it's still a really good OS.
Windows XP Mode digs deeper into Windows 7
Rose-tinted Spectacles?
Why would anyone expect Vista/Win7 to be faster than XP? I remember the same nonsense in 2001 when everyone complained that XP was slower than Win2K and Win98. Doh!
Every successive Windows OS will get slower, simply because they are designed to be more sophisticated each time, and not faster and faster.
If you are stuck with XP-era hardware, by all means stick with XP. If you have modern hardware (>2006), Vista and Win7 run great - certainly a lot better than XP did on my Athlons and P4s in 2001.
And there also seems to a whole raft of people passing comment on the failings of Win7 without having even tried the RC (which was the most stable and functional RC I've ever seen).

Candidates' Websites:
District 3:
Jim Elmore: http://www.elmoreforschoolboard.org
Dave Briggman: http://davebriggman.com/
Renee Reed: http://reneereed4schoolboard.com
ROCKINGHAM CO., Va. (WHSV) There are five candidates from two districts competing for seats on the Rockingham County School Board.
Two from District One:
(1) LaDonna Shiflet
(2) Richard Fulk
District Three:
(1) Dave Briggman
(2) Jim Elmore
(3) Renee Reed
The candidates answered tough questions, concerning their thoughts on the future of the school system. School shootings are a concern for one candidate.
"We're going to have to address mental health issues. Locking all the doors is only part of the answer," said Ladonna Shiflet, who is a candidate from District 1.
Another issue is overcrowding, it's something candidate for District 3 Renee Reed wants to address.
"Some that are below capacity and eventually we may need to take a look at that capacity and the enrollment in our schools," said Reed.
Dave Briggman said he is concerned about the school system's policy on transgendered students.
"A policy that permits, it must specifically permit boys to use the bathrooms, the showers," said Briggman, who is a candidate for District 3.
"Neither in the policy or in the direction given by the administrators to teachers is there any direction requiring rules around different gender children using different bathrooms," said Jim Elmore, who is also a candidate for District 3. He maintains that Briggman's claims are false.
"Quoting Patrick Moynihan. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts," said Dan Breeden who is a District 5 school board member.
If you want to vote absentee in person, Saturday is your last day to do so.

Can someone recommend a Japanese Curry Restaurant?
Just as the title suggests. I have a craving for a nice plate of glop - Japanese Curry. Thanks to all who respond.
You should check out Edo High Street (aka, Sawtelle Blvd.): see a previous post ? ! :
you have probably noticed the thread below about Duck's Spaghetti and Curry
...in which I made much the same query. good things have been said about this place in the past, and I might just make the trip soon to check it out. (although I wish I could get some recent positive feedback...)
re: annagranfors
I like ducks curry, it's thick and has a nice consistency to it. I prefer it over Hurry Curry. I find Hurry Curry over rated.
re: annagranfors
I would be interested to know if Duck's improved the air circulation. The last and only time I went years ago, it smelled so bad! But the curry was good.
Curry House downtown (I think there are a few locations, actually; that just happens to be the one I'm familiar with). Enjoy!
I like the curry at Blue Marlin on Sawtelle.
Blue Marlin
2121 Sawtelle Blvd
(310) 445-2522
It's a little sweet (I think maybe they use apples) & a little spicy, and they serve it piping hot, the way it should be. Served in a metal platter. There are lots of configurations -- pork katsu, chicken katsu, even with an omelette on top. There are also plenty of non-curry dishes that are typical Japanese takes on western food, including their famous uni spaghetti!
(By the way, I like Blue Marlin much better than their neighbor Hurry Curry. Their sauce was bland/no depth.)
If you are in the valley near CSUN, go to E&E Cafe. They serve my favorite japanese curry. I prefer it over Hurry Curry and Curry House by far. There is quite a E&E following with all the Japanese students at CSUN.
Unlike the bigger curry chains, E&E makes their curry "homestyle" from scratch. The curry is thicker and more stewy at E&E. I feel like Curry House and Hurry Curry's curry tastes like something you can make at home with those curry blocks you can buy at the market. This is not the case at E&E.
I like ordering the curry at 6 spiciness level. It's not all that spicy. Some people who order it at a lower level find it bland and really miss out on the subtle quality of the curry.
E&E also has lunch specials and their iced green tea as well as their macha floats are excellent.
re: sumo10
Curry House tastes like packaged curry roux because it is owned by House Foods Corp., one of the largest makers of packaged curry roux.
From the last 3 times I went to the Little Tokyo Curry House, I felt that their quality has really gone downhill. I've had much more consistency at the Puente Hills location in Rowland Heights.
Try T.O.T. in Little Tokyo. Big ol' plate of gopping curry. I couldn't finish it.
345 E. 2nd Street
They're open till midnight everyday.
Also, Hana Ichimonme
333 S. Alameda (Mitsuwa bldg)
They also make a good champon ramen.
re: loudenuff
While I haven't tried Blue Marlin's curry, I did really like the curry at Sawtelle Kitchen. You would expect decent and homemade curry at these yoshoku spots. I'd expect less at places that have more varied items on the menu. Another place that's quite good and homemade is Bistro Laramie in Torrance/Gardena.
I really like Mishima. There is one on sawtelle and Santa monica blvd i believe and another one in Torrance. They have really good curry and they also have really good udon and soba dishes.

[E3 2013] Modern Combat 5: Gameloft, why do you waste your talents?
When it comes to mobile gaming Gameloft are known for two things: ripping off franchises and mind-blowing mobile graphics. Modern Combat 5 is no different.
When it comes to mobile gaming Gameloft are known for two things: ripping off console franchises and mind-blowing mobile graphics.
Modern Combat 5 is another example of this, an obvious copy of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare franchise (in gameplay and name) that looks like it wouldn't go a miss on current gen consoles. There are a few texture issues here and there that hold it back, but just like N.O.V.A (Halo clone) before it, looks absolutely fantastic.
I would really love to see Gameloft push their talents into a franchise which isn't blatantly a rip-off another series or a movie tie-in, the company as a whole would receive so much more respect and a new image away from "That mobile developer who copies well console franchises".
Of course Gameloft aren't the only mobile devs who are pushing the boundaries of mobile graphics, I'm sure you will all remember Shadowgun from developer Madfinger Games and Infinity Blade from Epic Games.
Again, these two games, although inspired by other series' are their own stand alone properties, no gamer will look at them and say "Oh that's just Call of Duty", or "that's Grand Theft Auto", that is what Gameloft really needs to move to.
Mobile gaming is only going to get better, with powerful chips inside our phones and tablets, who knows what is coming next, well other than Nvidia's Project Shield which hopefully we will see more of over the E3 Period!
What do you think of Gameloft's games and how far mobile graphics has come? Have your say in the comments!

The pop heartthrob - who has previously dated TV presenter Caroline Flack and has been linked to singer Lily Halpern - is keen to find someone who is more than just good looking and wants someone who he can have a decent talk with.
He said: "I like someone who is fun, someone funny, someone you can have a conversation with."
The singer - who is joined in the band alongside Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - continues to be surprised at how successful the group have become worldwide in recent weeks.
During an appearance on 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show, he said: "I don't think it's something we will get used to, we're just normal lads, everything that is happening to us at the moment is amazing."
As such, he doesn't believe any of the group - who were formed on the UK version of 'The X Factor' in 2010 - would ever quit because they are too busy enjoying themselves.
He added: "We're having such an amazing time we would never leave."
