I have discovered an annoying issue with the root server so I will be updating the OS from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via Ubuntu 12.10 LTS in the early hours of sunday morning. If all goes well this will mean server downtime of a couple of hours.
If it doesn't go well this will mean server downtime of much longer and lots of swearing, and i mean lots. I will also remove the zombie server and, time permitting, start work on a CS:GO zombie server.
I have everything I need for the upgrade (beer, doritos, cigarettes, pizza, a bottle of single malt, my lovely lady fallen angel) so I am pretty confident nothing will break.

Well guys, as you know I have been managing alone for a while owner wise and things are going great but I have found I don't have as much time recently due to real life commitments so I have decided to take on a new owner to help take the strain. Most of you already know him and although he has a lot to learn server wise I'm pretty sure he will learn fast and be an asset
Over the last few months he has supported me and always been on hand eager to help with anything he can so I feel he has earned this place
So without any more waffling from me please will you all welcome SHIELDZ to the owner team..
Most of you already know him and get along so I hope you will all continue to do so. Feel free to harass him at any time..lol
Thank you also to all our admin & players and your continued support.

These reveals leave me a bit disappointed...if Sakurai wanted so bad to get rid of clones, then why put Lucina and Dark Pit in the game and even have Dr. Mario return? Besides that, I don't like Mr. Pepper and I'm sad not to see Lucas (who was my favorite character in Brawl), but that's just my opinion. Bowser Jr. was the only reason that could make me hope the leak was real and he hasn't been confirmed yet...I'll wait hoping for more surprises
@AlexOlney he'd be my first choice, should I get the game eventually. He was my hero when I used to play OOT with my dad at 3 Midna is one of my favorite Zelda characters, but her style doesn't excite me that much. Also, it's disappointing not to see Tingle and Oni/Fierce Deity Link.
I'm a bit disappointed because I think I'm gonna buy it, but at least this month I'll have Code Of Princess to keep me busy
I'm glad Code Of Princess finally got its discount here in Europe, so I think I'll download it. However, I'm slightly disappointed that we still don't know when SMTIV is out.
I'm a big Zelda fan but I've never really been that interested in this spin-off, but I guess some cool characters could make me buy it...I was thinking of Mikau (whom I loved back then but I don't think will make it to the final game), Link's alternate forms (Deku, Goron, Zora and of course Oni Link), Skull Kid and Tingle (my hero ). Oh and I guess the mask merchant would be weird and cool at the same time
I'm quite disappointed about the price changes and the lack of discounts here in Europe compared to the US
@MadAdam81 @Lord I don't know if they're gonna use it, but you forgot the GamePad has a microphone built in it so there still may be vocal chat.
Nice Crocodile Dundee reference
@ThomasBW84 thank you!
One question: are Wiimotes/Classic Controller supported?
Anyone else noticed how similar this game's logo and the cover of Rise Against's Appeal To Reason look?

New York Community Bancorp: Financial Winner
The company's second-quarter return on average assets was 1.36% and its return on average tangible equity was 17.40%, which are both solid returns in the current environment for banks.
KBW analyst Fred Cannon rates New York Community Bancorp a "Outperform," although he lowered his price target for the shares by two dollars to $13 last Thursday, while raising his 2012 earnings estimate to $1.14 from $1.03, and leaving his 2013 EPS estimate unchanged at $1.08.
Canon said that multifamily mortgage loan "prepayment income and mortgage banking should allow NYB to cover the dividend for the next two quarters at a minimum," and that "barring any M&A transaction that the company may enter then we believe the dividend is safe."
On the other hand, the analyst said that "there is near-term deal risk in shares of NYB and a higher discount rate and the lower price target is appropriate," adding that "while we do not believe a deal is imminent, we also believe that NYB could use its shares as currency for the right opportunity given the stock currently trades at 1.8x tangible book value which is above the 1.2x median multiple of peers."Interested in more on New York Community Bancorp?

embroideryhey you – the guy of my dreams
i thought you may want to know a 'lil bit about me.
i've been called shy and i've been called sweet;
the type of girl you'd like to meet.
long walks on the beach:
with my feet in the sand
and your hand
holding mine.
i imagine your lips would taste like saccharine wine.
i've seen our kiss a thousand times…
unexpected and without regret where you skin touches mine
my heart leaps at such a feat – we're eternal, it must be a sign.
of course – we haven't spoken a word
only a slight exchange of our eyes.
i can see our future: mister and missus embroidered in gold.
i know my heart has been sold.
you smile,
i smile.
you're the guy of my dreams
And I know we are meant to be.

iblazr wants to bring more professional lighting to your iOS photos
Someone at Apple is probably going to put my name on yet another blacklist, but it has to be said -- the iPhone camera flash sucks.

Flashy notifications from Flashr Kickstarter project
LED notifications -- the flashing reminders of incoming calls, waiting voicemail or text messages -- are often cited by Android users as an essential advantage over the iPhone. A dedicated LED on the front bezel of many Android devices lets you know when you have something to attend to without ...
Yellowing issues with the iPhone 4's camera
There's more trouble for the iPhone 4. Some users are reporting that poor white balance is affecting some of their photos; specifically, indoor shots taken, both, with and without the LED flash have a predominately yellow hue. This typically happens when a digital camera has trouble reading the type...
Rumor: Will Apple add a camera flash to the iPhone?

@PrepPClipsGM Clippers holding a press conference later today to introduce new players and take questions from the media
Twitter update
@PrepPClipsGM Clippers press conference underway in the "Articles" thread. Some good questions and topics being discussed. Don't miss it.
I suck *** at free-agency.
when can i increase a players potential?
Shopping Antonio McDyess and Nickoloz for a top point guard.
From the Miami Herald:
Who's ready for "Gettin' High With Stro"?Quote:
When asked if he was going to do a media day like the other GMs around the league, Heat GM T. JNR was quoted as saying, "Hell no. Nobody gives a crap about our team anyway." He did say that one of his more colorful players might be doing a regular journal feature in the future.
Denver Times @denvertimes
Nuggets to hold a press conference today at 7pm ET, nrumour is they have free beer for everyone, so get down to Pepsi Center!
I'm desperately looking for points. Looking to get some by tonight.
If you've got some points to blow, but not enough for a skill, go for it. But if you have enough points for skills, then you might want to consider just upgrading that and taking whatever you have left to "raise" potential.
Sim sometime this afternoon or tonight?
Do we have to wait 60 days to trade players that we re-signed?
I know the 60 day rule applies to free agents from other teams, but does it apply to our own players?
Free Agency DONE
Training Camps POSTED
Check the index
Shopping Kris Lang for 1 point.
can we sign players to fill out our rosters?
Not yet, I'll give a time for that later.
wait, is it too late to train another player's skills now? I was waiting to see who I was going to be able to sign
Ridnour improved at everything!! Diaw got better at D and inside scoring!! This rookie class is looking good for me.
I'm not trading the Mavs first round pick. Quit asking.
Tyson's D and Miller/Rip's shooting is finally starting to look accurate.
Melo and Manu improved in training camp, but everyone else either got worse or didn't change. That sucks
Great another training camp were my players either stayed the same or got worse in significant areas. Last year Eddie jones went to A- in outside it was one of the few if not only good thing to happen for me in training camp now hes back to b+. Is there a way to not participate inn training camp

Hobos Have All The Fun
Aug 14, 2001 (Updated Nov 3, 2002)
Popular Products in Building SuppliesThe Bottom Line This is probably one of the most fun ideas I've ever thought up. It's a little crazy, but worth it because its fun being a hobo.
I recently had a birthday party, it was just three days ago. I came up with my idea after having a dream about a hobo party where everyone dressed up as a hobo and slept in tents at night. It actually wasn't as much a birthday party as a regular party. I put it on so I could see all of my friends before everyone goes to college in the next few days. Rather than feel sad that everyone is leaving and having a good bye party, a hobo party lightens up the mood and just lets everyone goof around and have some good old-fashioned hobo fun.
Another thing that inspired me to go hobo was the season finale of The Simpsons, the greatest show ever made. That episode featured a singing hobo that exchanged tall tales for sponge baths. It was hilarious. But also a little gross.
What I did was invite a bunch of my friends, telling them that I am having a party called "Dress Like a Hobo and Sleep in a Tent Night." To prepare my house for a hobo party I wacked through some brush from my front yard to my backyard, creating an authentic looking hobo trail. I decorated the trail with random hobo items such as some old socks, pop cans, beer cans, and other random trash. On the day of my party I put up a sign with "HOBOS" and an arrow on it to tell my hobo friends to enter the party through the hobo trail. For my regular friends who were not into the idea of dressing up like a hobo I made another sign pointing to my front door that said "NO-BOS." In my backyard I put out a big pickle jar and labeled it the bathroom, I set up my big tent in case anyone wanted to go inside. I didn't really have to worry about decorating much more, because whenever a group of teenagers get together, a big mess is always bound to be made. As the party progresses, the yard will look more and more hobo-ish.
To make the party more authentic I got a barrel and filled it with wood so we could have a fire in it later at night. I also worked on downloading hobo songs for a few days and then I burned all of them onto a CD to play during the party. I used WinMX to get my hobo songs, typing in hobo and getting all songs with "hobo" in the title.
To get some hobo clothes, a good place to shop is Value Village or Goodwill, where they have a huge assortment of hobo style clothing. Or if you look in your dad's closet, you may be surprised to find that your dad used to be a hobo and kept his old outfit as a souvenir.
I tried to think of some hobo games that we could play, but found that harder than I had thought. If I had more time to plan my party then maybe it would have been easier to come up with some hobo activites.
One idea I thought up the night before that turned out to be really entertaining and funny was an activity that gives everyone a hobo name.
What you do is cut up a bunch of notecards so that you have a lot of little cards. Then you give everyone a pen and tell them to write on a bunch of cards some description words such as "crazy," "smelly, "hairy," amd other hobo-like descriptions. Try to put in weird and funny words to enhance the craziness. After you have a bunch of descriptions, tell everyone to now write a bunch of first names and last names. I highly suggest picking last names with "Mc" and then adding a descriptive word like "Stinky" so someone gets the name "McStinky." When everyone is finished, mix all of the cards thoroughly in a hat or something.
Now you pass the hat along to one person at a time, telling them to draw out about three random cards and then reading them in any order they want. That is their hobo name.
Using this kind of game, my friends got hilarious names. Mine was Hairy Scary Cardboard Larry, and there were others like Grunge Hole McStinky, Betty McNipple, Soggy Bottom Bat Bitin' McBottom, M C Winifred Windbag, and others. Some regular hobo names came out of it too, like Boxcar Dixie and Two Tooth Jimmy. Although the more normal names were boring, it was still a lot of fun for everyone to make up a name. After everyone finished creating their names, we wrote them out on big pieces of cardboard and duct taped them to ourselves. My mom took some pictures of everyone and their hobo name signs.
Besides getting a hobo name and decorating your yard with hobo decorations to make it look like a hobo camp, you can think of other stuff to do. I wanted to go out in public with a group of hobos and just see the reaction that people have when they see us. Maybe have people split off into groups and see who can go out and get the most money from begging. Of course the money from begging would go towards a charity though. You can think of tons of stuff to do as a hobo.
Or you can just hang out like we did and swap some hobo tales or just talk about whatever. Anything you do is sure to be fun. That is what I have found out.
Come here to see the results of my Hobo Party! http://www-scf.usc.edu/~bryanttr/hobo.htm

Jillian Bowe February 1, 2013 ABC, Comings & Goings, General Hospital, News, Port Charles, Soap Opera, TV 25 Comments Could Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) and Lucy Coe's (Lynn Herring) daughter be joining her parents in Port Charles? A little birdie told yours truly Carly Schroeder will reprise the role as Serena Baldwin on General Hospital. This will mark Schroeder's first time returning to GH since 2001. Fans of GH and Port Charles may recall, Serena was born via surrogacy. When her now deceased, biological mother Dominique Taub Baldwin (Shell Danielson) found out she was dying, she asked Lucy to carry her child. Years later on PC, Lucy adopted Serena as her own. Last time viewers heard about Serena, the heiress to the massive Taub fortune was said to be studying in Europe. Keep checking back with Daytime Confidential as the story develops! Photo by PR Photos 25 Responses mfarris70 February 1, 2013 They did put out a casting call for a young blonde so maybe they are recasting? Log in to Reply angrierblackerman February 1, 2013 I would love to see Carly back on GH! I love when old child characters and the actors that portray them come back to a show. Love seeing the flashback scenes! Carly Shroeder is quite beautiful still, and she is a decent actress now from what I have seen, having been in various indie projects! *Crosses fingers! Log in to Reply Jeff February 1, 2013 She's 22, so she could definitely be a contender for Michael. it would be awesome for them to use her rather than a recast. She had massive chemistry with Kin and Lynn. Log in to Reply katehhoward February 1, 2013 This would be very interesting and one of the only young returns I would like to see a story develop around. I think she would be old enough for Michael I think. If Starr is sent back packing to Llanview than Serena maybe able to mend Michael's heart. I believe she is now a doctor as well. Log in to Reply TV Gord February 1, 2013 She's a cutie. I remember her from back in the day (not sure why…I guess she was around when Skye moved to PC). I completely agree with angrierblackman. If they can bring back an actress from years ago, it would make the use of flashbacks much more fun! Log in to Reply TV Gord February 1, 2013 I see from imdb.com that she was never on GH, so I guess I watched the first few weeks of PC and remember her from there.

Thanks, MDL. imdb isn't the most reliable source for COMPLETE credits, so you could be right about the NB. Log in to Reply Forever8 February 1, 2013 Hoping that this 100% true. GH need some legacy children back on the screen. Serena Baldwin is apart of that legacy. Would love a friendship between her and Maxie. And to have a fierce rivalry with Lulu like their fathers. Ps would love her to be a doctor , fashion model or journalist. By the way didnt Maxie and Serena grow up together as little girls? Log in to Reply MadDogLane February 1, 2013 I can't remember for certain, its possible CS Serena might have been on GH, but I don't think she was other than when GH/PC did NB. The only time I remember Serena on GH is when she was born and before Scotty left(then not long after KS joined PC) Log in to Reply liason4real February 1, 2013 Scotty vs Sonny as their children fall in love!

Log in to Reply JAYSON369 February 1, 2013 I think she's to good for Michael. She should be with me! :p Log in to Reply ladyofthelake February 1, 2013 With Scotty coming back, this makes sense. Since Karen was killed off on PC & it was acknowledged that she was dead on GH & them giving Scotty a son only to have him killed off a few months latter, he needs Serena back. I loved CS so it would be nice to see her back. Serena was only ever on GH when she was a baby, after Scitty left she was never seen again until PC. The only time Serena has appeared on GH might of been the 2 yrs of the PC/GH nurses ball & the PC/GH double wedding of Kevin/Lucy & Mac/Felicia. Log in to Reply Yoryla February 1, 2013 Wonderfoam news, if it is true! Welcome home, Serena Log in to Reply TV Gord February 1, 2013 You made me google Wonderfoam. I'm disappointed. I thought it was going to be some sort of undergarment. Log in to Reply ER Writer February 1, 2013 I hope that she has Scotty's shrewd snark and Lucy's rebellious spirit. So many young actresses on soaps are written like sticks in the mud. Log in to Reply Yoryla February 1, 2013 Gord – Sorry to disappoint! In my very own vocabulary, it is an unofficial replacement for "wonderful" lol Log in to Reply TV Gord February 1, 2013 Right arm! Log in to Reply elvara February 1, 2013 They need to add another male character and he should be Michael's age. Log in to Reply Angie Lucy February 1, 2013 I'd love to have Serena back. It's nuts we didn't get her back the other times Scotty was on the show, but of course, Guza & Co. didn't really know how to write for him at that point. Carly Schroeder is still a cutie. It's hard to believe she's so grown up. I feel so old. Log in to Reply mitch6225 February 2, 2013 Carly Schroeder as Serena was indeed on General Hospital in the 2000's. Soapnet aired a bunch of Holiday shows recently and it was Christmas and Laura was hosting a Christmas dinner and Serena was there. Bobbie and Scott were in jail so Laura had to take over with Lesley's help. Christmas Dinner at Bobbie's. Luke shows up briefly s does Tony and Carly (played at the time by Sara Brown) and Laura asks Luke to stay, they were on the outs. Jacob Young was playing Lucky at the time. Does this ring any bells???..:) Log in to Reply rabbit on the moon February 2, 2013 That would be great. What about Christina?

Question: I remember the show Burke's Law from the '90s or so, but wasn't there an earlier version of it on TV some years before? Thanks.
Answer: That there was, Drew. The original Burke's Law, which starred Gene Barry as L.A. chief of detectives Amos Burke when it launched — he became secret agent Amos Burke in the show's last season, when it was titled Amos Burke — Secret Agent — ran on ABC for two and a half years beginning in September 1963.
If Barry'd stuck to the way he'd been thinking about TV a couple of years earlier, however, he'd never have stepped into the role, which was first played by Dick Powell a couple of seasons before on Dick Powell Theatre. Barry didn't really like TV, and after leaving his previous show, Bat Masterson,read more

Desperate Housewives is back for a seventh season, folks, and we've got ourselves a new Housewife. Vanessa Williams has joined the party, and she has a bit of a mean streak. Former neighbor Paul Young has returned, a free man, and surprisingly prison hasn't made him any less creepy... or treacherous. Susan is Fairview's own Donna Summer — she works hard for the money. Bree's new contractor has more than paint samples on his mind. Gaby and Carlos have dueling secrets. And Lynette, after giving birth to a basketball team, is too tired to defend her choices.
On the dusty expanse of suburbia that is Wisteria Lane, Vanessa Williams is ready to duel at 40 paces.
Desperate Housewives has always relied on a fun, trouble-making foil to shake up the staid suburban lives of the women of Wisteria Lane — think Edie, Mrs. Huber, Karl, may they all rest in peace. This season, ABC has employed a Wild West theme to announce the arrival of Renee Perry (Williams), who'll try on a (very chic) black hat. Executive producer Bob Daily introduces us to Renee, and tells us what all the other ladies — and at least one familiar gentleman — will deal with this season.

I guess this little piggy got itself a makeover – at whose hands, I'm not sure (Arabic appears to make retranslating into English somewhat more dramatic?). The Policeman version of the Ladybird series 'People at Work' has been rather subtly altered from its 60s original. Perhaps too subtle? I was kind of shocked upon first reading it, but I'm rather gullible and it's definitely a joke (albeit one very underwritten with social realities). The full scanned book be seen here

|Puss in boots? Pigs in boots? They're supposed to all about the mud, you'd think. There's even the cliché, as happy as a pig in mud. Not Cinderella, though who has a rather strong case of mysophobia, or a fear of dirt. This little pig is um, trotting around just fine though with the help of two pairs of rather fetching bespoke green wellies. It's since been chosen as the face of a media campaign about the plight (?) of pig farmers in the UK.Ridiculously cute.

So while I normally never get excited about things like this, these Denise Grunstein pictures found at the artist and his model have actually gotten me thinking about this Friday. Alice in Wonderland is definitely among the trippiest of Disney movies, and is supposed to be fairly revolutionary in original author Lewis Carroll's hiding of complex and forbidden mathematics equations in it (doesn't that sound dramatic, now). At that, I'm rather eager to see (Czech surrealist) Jan Svankmajer's take on it. Of it, he has infamously said that "Carroll is an illustration of the fact that children are better understood by pedophiliacs than by pedagogues." Perhaps for fascinatingly, he has equally said that "childhood is my alter-ego." The Disney version was decidedly saccharine, but it has been otherwise immortalised in Charles Manson's famous quote,
We're not in Wonderland anymore, Alice.
|At that, I'm reminded of the Weather Underground's infamous co-option and support of Manson's rhetoric (later to be much regretted) at the 1969 'War Council' in Flint, Michigan (in which they also repped Captain Ahab). In which Bernadine Dohrn (re: the 1968 Tate – La Bianca murders) was said to have exclaimed,
Pigs – of the farm or capitalist variety – seem to show up a lot here ouf. Perhaps it was the growing up in a Muslim country lack of pig love? Baby pigs are kind of cute. But then again, all small/fluffy animals or things probably are. Anyway, the quote's from a really interesting chapter, 'Excesses and Limits', in Jeremy Varon's Bringing the War Home: The Weather Underground, the Red Army Faction, and Revolutionary Violence in the Sixties and Seventies, especially re: the place of violence in the movement. Even if you're not an SDS kid, promise!
Although there's the mad fun of cards and tea (a little teapot, short and stout perhaps?) I'm rather drawn to being the twitchy pattery white rabbit (does it have any other names?) that Alice follows down the rabbithole. Mainly because this allows me to wear a tophat (or perhaps a bowler, for want of one) a BOWTIE (or perhaps even several, à la flying saucer, but most importantly for the most excellent Flava Flav-ish shiny purple jacket printed with stopwatches that I found in a Long Island thrift store. It's rather warm though.
Though it could also be wonderful to wear one of those mirrors that distort shape, making you bulge or shrink concavely, going as those 'drink me' bottles of course. Seems like it would be kind of heavy though. And with the weather being what it is and the location secret until the day-of, perhaps it wouldn't go amiss to rethink this too, ouf. In other rabbitish inspiration, I love these pictures from a masked opera and ballet rendition of the story respectively:
And while trawling for more white rabbit pics, I also came across these lovely ones from a 2003 editorial replete with more pigs and bowties (via foto_decadent)

|By cutting off its nutrient supply, apparently. A recent MOMA exhibit, Victimless Leather, "died" just five weeks into the show. Unfortunately I never saw the real thing, and only heard about this after the fact from grinding.be and the NY Times). Created by Australian artists Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, the piece was essentially grown from living tissue – not human, but embryonic stem cells from mice.
The thing? creature? (I don't even know what to call it – I guess this really puts a new spin on 'breathable cloth') was fed nutrients by a tube,as pictured. It looks weirdly like a heart on dialysis? And then, in something that sounds like it belongs in a tripped out scifi movie, the tiny jacket grew too quickly and managed to clog its own incubation system. Its parent artists, meanwhile were already back in Australia, leaving it's fate to the show's curator, Paola Antonelli.
She decided to turn off its life support system, essentially "killing" the little jacket. In a televised interview with the Art Newspaper, she said the jacket
"started growing, growing, growing until it became too big. And [the artists] were back in Australia, so I had to make the decision to kill it. And you know what? I felt I could not make that decision. I've always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I'm here not sleeping at night about killing a coat…That thing was never alive before it was grown."
Catts says his intention is "to raise questions about our exploitation of other living beings".
I don't know about that. (At that, I feel like I'm writing about animal rights issues rather a lot for someone who's explicitly vegetarian-but-not-because-of-the-animals, if that makes sense. Perhaps it goes with the territory?). The questions raised for me hover more around the ethics of stem cell use. And, worryingly, the way that this could be pounced upon by pro=lifers.
Yes, the mini-story above is written in a fairly sensationalist manner (and deliberately so), but I can't help but extrapolate this to a foetus. Somewhat militantly pro-choice, I've never really considered a foetus to be alive until it's a baby – that is, born. This is to say, I don't even have a problem with third trimester abortions, though I suspect this will change. Yet this piece makes me start to wonder just when something becomes 'alive', or rather, 'sentient'. This attainment of a thinking consciousness (secular, please) has always marked the ethical boundary for me with regards to abortion. Yet if I stop to think this through, why does a foetus necessarily become sentient as soon as it is exposed to air, almost like the darkening of fresh blood?
In looking up the artists, I found they interestingly term their tissue culture art projects as 'semi-living'. They say,
Tissue engineering holds much promise for improving the quality of human life. However, tissue engineering for artistic purposes has largely been overlooked… our goal is to create a contestable vision of futuristic objects that are partly artificially constructed and partly grown/born. We have grown tissue sculptures,"semi-living" objects, by culturing cells on artificial scaffolds in bioreactors. These entities (sculptures) blur the boundaries between what is born/manufactured, animate/inanimate and further challenge our perceptions and our relations toward our bodies and constructed environment.
|This is what art should really be about, no? In other growth-related happenings, pig bladder powder apparently has regenerative properties, causing amputated limbs to regrow. (This is actually legit – follow the link to see a BBC vid of it in action). Now, the US government's apparently getting in on the act to ostensibly try help the 1000 or so amputeed vets from the Iraq occupation.
The severed fingers stuffed with bone crunchy red writing implements in the middle, meanwhile, are from California artist Tim Hawkinson. Also via grinding.
Filed under: film, politic + insurrection: other | Tags: art, ☭☭☭, die fetten jahre sind vorbei, every heart is a revolutionary cell, louis vuitton, pigs, sds, student activism, tattoos, the edukators, the fat years are over, wim deloye
Since writing about The Edukators a while back, I've come back to it a fair number of times. Not to give away any of the plot (see it, it's brilliant), but the end sentiment shuffles somewhat over to "some people never change" as quoted on the note at the end. A literalised writing on the wall if you will, with the person in question being a german ex-SDSer – turned corporate millionaire- ostensibly still with the radicredientials of his student days.
But just how sustainable is student activism anymore? Since then, at least from what I can gather in the US, the nature of the university system itself seems to have changed. In '68,
you could graduate $2000 or $3000 in debt and go on to be a committed activist for the rest of your life; many of the 68 vets have done just this. Today you're going to be graduating from the same schools with something like $100k in debt. and activism is almost something you have to give up as you hit your senior year, if this makes sense. Similarly, whereas most stuff went down at big elite institutions like Columbia or UC – Berkley, today it's happening at state, community and even high school campuses, which is especially incredible. What then will the future look like – are many of SDS, for example, destined to become the same kind of benevolent i-bankers, corrupting the system from within (if at all)?
I don't know when said fat years will be over. But in the year of the pig, corporate branding reaches new levels, with pigs getting Louis Vuitton tattoes. There's an interview over at if it's hip it's here with Belgian artist Wim Deloye, a vegetarian who tattoos live pigs (albeit sedated) for art's sake. To quote from the interview:
Wim: I started tattooing pig hides, which I'd get from the slaughterhouses, in 1994. It was only in 1997 that I started to work on live sedated pigs. I tattoo pigs because they grow fast and they are so much better to tattoo than fish. I tattoo them when they are young and I like the way the artwork stretches and distorts over time. Essentially, we invest in small tattoos and we harvest large paintings.
I don't know how I feel about the cruelty aspect of this, but some of the stretched pigskins look too much like human skin for comfort. There's some more examples at the same site.

Next week, Scottsdale will be buzzing with Blackhawk helicopters, a hospital will transform into a tent city and college students will act as patients contaminated from a lethal substance.
The high-intensity drill, planned since August, is expected to gauge group response and communication efforts in case a terrorist attack ever happens in Scottsdale.
The city is partnering with the Air National Guard's 161st Unit at the Papago Military Reservation, 5636 E. McDowell Road, and other groups to simulate a disaster from Monday to April 28.
Called the "Coyote Crisis Campaign," the simulated disaster will climax Wednesday with Blackhawk helicopters in the air, lots of military personnel and general calamity at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn hospital.
The simulated drill will result in 10,000 casualties and center on a 5-mile radius in south Scottsdale. It will involve the city's three largest employers — the city, Scottsdale Healthcare and General Dynamics Decision Systems, which is a military communications division at 8201 E. McDowell Road, said Keith Jones, spokesman for Scottsdale Healthcare.
The drill marks the first time in the state and perhaps the country that the military is partnering with community members to see how effectively they can respond to an incident, said Mike Phillips, city spokesman.
"The scenario is that there's some bad guys at General Dynamics," he said. "The Scottsdale Police Department's SWAT team and K-9 unit will respond to the scene, go into the building and search for the terrorists."
At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, about 100 imitation patients will be transported to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn hospital to be decontaminated.
Phillips said he didn't know the total cost of the drill, but said that part of the city's costs will be covered by the police department's exercise training budget.
Seven National Guard units from states including California, Hawaii, Michigan and Nevada also will participate in the drill, Phillips said.

Wild IBM laptop patents: Telescoping screen, pop-up magnifier, and more
Portable computer - Figure 2 (U.S. Patent 6504707)
Bill Detwiler has nothing to disclose. He doesn't hold investments in the technology companies he covers.
Full Bio
Bill Detwiler is Managing Editor of TechRepublic and Tech Pro Research and the host of Cracking Open, CNET and TechRepublic's popular online show. Prior to joining TechRepublic in 2000, Bill was an IT manager, database administrator, and desktop support specialist in the social research and energy industries. He has bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Louisville, where he has also lectured on computer crime and crime prevention.
That whole thing about the NASA wasting millions on a Space Pen was a big hoax. see http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp
What's with the reissue of 2010 non-news anyway?
This whole issue including this article is a "Multi-Media' circus. If your intention was to entertain the airheads while the techies were cooking the turkey with solar radiation, you have succeeded.
Contraptions like these remind me of the joke about NASA, when they put astronauts in space and found out the pens wouldn't write because there was no gravity to make the ink flow. NASA spent millions developing a pen that would write in zero-gravity. The Russian cosmonauts used a pencil.
IBM's employees have produced more patent than any other company for the past 15 years. http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/33341.wss Of the 1,596 in 2010, a few (many) will never see practical application.
Over the years, IBM came up with a lot of interesting screen and keyboard concepts. The ThinkPad 360 and 750 of the early 1990s had a convertible display similar to the one shown in this patent. Then there was the IBM Transnote that also used a variation of this approach. In many respects, these solutions were actually better than the single rotating pivot hinge that almost all notebook convertibles have had for the past ten years or so.
they deserve their respect. They were the pioneers of present day technology when it was still a dream light years away from that time.
Hardware company employees used to be encouraged to submit any idea to patent or extend the company's portfolio. Companies like the former Cow Spotted computers from South Dakota paid engineers, technicians and production employees for their ideas if it resulted in a patent for the company. Even if the idea seemed a wacky.
We used to use something similar in the 1980's to cut down reflections on our terminals! A couple of suspension files and a roll of tape! We even had some photos around somewhere, but, not sure where they are now! Some were even decorated with appropriate comments in relation to the job, or not, as the case may be!
My first Thinkpad had a detachable back on the screen so you could use it with an overhead projector - it used it many times for teaching and presenting. It can with an elastic strap to hold it on the projector. A great idea.
I like the dual screen laptop idea better.
Obviously, all of these weren't really practical but we have the benefit of hind sight. Considering the dates on these it seems some of these have been done later in different fashions to get around patent issues. Interesting to see how progressive some of them are at the time though
Can we discuss the relative merits of the 386SX next.
Simply hideous in design, no practical of any real world use! Anyone can file a design patent of all sort, but can they produce a product for massive market? Not really! When was the last time IBM came out with innovative design for the massive market, YESTERDAY = Lenovo latop. If they want to be a TRUE compatitor in the market, then must make something practical sense to SIMPLIFY life and not to COMPLICATE it more. Apple got it Right.
It costs a lot more to make and not convenience to carry around (the ice cream corn thing).
Remembers the screens in the Monthy Pytons' movie "Brazil"! Maybe they should deserve the patent instead of IBM ;-)
Laptops have keyboards too high or screen too low... for those with RSI who must work on a laptop, a potential solution.
IBM gives their employees a $$ bonus for each patent filed, so I can imagine there are some cooky ideas out there. I think it was $5k per patent.
Moving device + a lot of moving parts = short term life.
I could have used a few of these devices. Even the ideas that made it to market didn't receive the attention they deserved. I do much of my work in the field, frequently away from easy power sources and good lighting. Two things I wish I had on my Thinkpad replacements: One was the little light on the display that pointed down and illuminated the keyboard. The second was the battery pack that could go in the CD/DVD slot doubling or tripling the battery life. When our IS group distributed the Thinkpad replacements, I pointed out these two features. They were not aware of them.
Yet another example of patents that are invalid because they are obvious and trivial.
This is just another application of a standard accessory in use for decades on analog and sampling oscilloscopes. The "hoods" as we called them were used to view signals at a very fast scan rate. Anyone who has used analog o'scopes to view fast rise time signals has used one. I'd be surprised if this wasn't covered by a broader patent somewhere along the line.
It's Spock's viewer!
When I saw the scissor hinges, my first thought was of how many people's fingers they would have pinched.
The tiny screens with huge magnifiers in Gilliam's classic was the first thing I thought of as well. If you want to see the tiny screens and magnifiers in Brazil, check out the 1985 movie trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wh2b1eZFUM
The patent awards are now down to $100. Retirees or those laid off don't get anything. The days of the carrot are gone. Now the prevalent method is the stick, or threat of layoff if you don't produce something.
I remember in the 90's when people would bring in IBM's to the shop. It was always interesting to see what new doohickey IBM had created to make their laptops odd and do something unique. Then you'd have to work on the thing and my only thought would be, "Why do they have to make them so ridiculous."
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that as soon as I saw it. Now where's that huge bluetooth ear piece he used to wear and those nifty square computer disks for the library computer? Oh right....

McFadden...catching everyone's attention
The more I read about this kid, the more I like him. I think once he gets some NFL experience, he will be one of the most feared corners in the league. He is just that physical guy who will do whatever it takes to win...here's the article on him...can't wait to see him in action, and see if he's the real deal!!!
Re: McFadden...catching everyone's attention
I couldn`t agree more, I liked when we drafted him, and I like everything I`ve seen so far. This kid will start from day one I`m guessing.
Re: McFadden...catching everyone's attention
The more I read the more I like the pick.....We already have one guy that runs around like a crazy man. Now we have two.
Re: McFadden...catching everyone's attention
We usually hit pretty well w/ our second round draft picks here of late.. and McFadden is a gem in the making !!
Re: McFadden...catching everyone's attention
I have heard nothing but good things about him. I saw some clips around draft time of him and he looks awesome. I am anxious for training camp to get a peak at his play. I can't wait to see him play in NFL action also. :)

My boyfriend broke up wiht me.
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 01-18-2012 - 11:13am
About five months ago I found that my boyfriend was receiving sexy pics on his phone from many different woman. Although he said he never physically cheated I took him back. I have been working on regaining my trust in him. But he says I am not doing it quick enough and he can't take it anymore and he broke up with me over the phone. I am so heartbroken because I really loved him and was trying to rebuild my trust in him. When he asked me to stay and work things out with him I did. Now he isn't willing to do the same because he says it hurts him when I don't trust him and he no longer feels comfortable hanging out with his female friends. He also says it hurts him really bad when I don't trust him. He says its not going to work because I took to long to rebuild my trust back in him. Help I still love him. I felt I did all I could do to regain my trust in him. Now he is acting like the reason we didn't work out was my fault. It has been very difficult for me to deal with because I thought we were going to be married.
|Wed, 01-18-2012 - 11:21am
What you don't understand, and I guess he doesn't either........is that HE has to rebuild your trust in him........not you.
If he's hanging out with his female friends, that is NOT how he shows you how trustworthy he is.
|Wed, 01-18-2012 - 11:54am
Thank you so much for your great advice. It has been a very difficult time for me because I truly did love him. But if he loved me than he wouldn't have left.
|Wed, 01-18-2012 - 11:56am
I was going to say the same thing as fissatore--when someone does something wrong, they should be doing things to regain trust--there wasn't anything for you to do.
|Wed, 01-18-2012 - 12:31pm
fissatore is right. Trust isn't a gift you give to someone because you owe it to them. Trust is what happens naturally when your partner spends a long enough time earning it.
"Now he is acting like the reason we didn't work out was my fault."
It is my observation here, but I've seen this many times before. It is likely that he wanted to break up with you but has been looking for a way to make it your fault. You love him but that doesn't make him a great person. A guy who is getting pictures of many different women on his phone is not a great boyfriend, no matter what other good things he does.

Microsoft's 2010 Will Rely on Windows 7 Sales, Yahoo Deal, Cloud
Microsoft's 2010 Will Rely on Windows 7 Sales, Yahoo Deal, Cloud
With declining revenues and robust competition in many of its product areas, 2009 was not exactly a banner year in Microsoft's history. Will 2010 be any better? Redmond can certainly look toward a few bright spots: Both Windows 7 and Bing, its search engine, experienced disaster-free launches followed by solid early adoption rates, which could translate into greater success in the coming year.
However, Microsoft also faces substantial challenges. Despite a search-and-advertising partnership deal with Yahoo that could see Bing's market share nearly triple, Google remains the dominant force in online search. Microsoft's mobile division remains weak and is faced with substantial competition from the likes of Apple and RIM. And if the economy doesn't pick up, then there'll be no rising PC sales to buoy sales of Microsoft software.
So how will 2010 fare? The following traces out Microsoft's prospects in
certain key areas.
Microsoft-Yahoo Deal Goes into Effect, Presenting Bigger
Google Challenge
Microsoft poured millions of marketing and development dollars into Bing, its search engine that launched in June 2009, but the biggest increase to its market share in 2010 will likely come courtesy of the search-and-advertising agreement struck between Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz.
On July 29, Microsoft and Yahoo jointly announced a 10-year partnership that would see Bing powering search on Yahoo's sites, while Yahoo assumed exclusive worldwide sales duties for both companies' search advertisers. The deal is expected by both parties to be cleared by antitrust regulators and should go into effect in 2010.
When that happens, assuming that Yahoo's market share ports over to
Bing's with a minimum of attrition, Microsoft's share of the U.S. search-engine
market could rise to close to 30 percent. Google continues to occupy roughly 70
percent of that market, so even a more robust Bing won't present a survival
threat. Nonetheless, 2010 will likely be the year where the world of online
search narrows down to two engines whaling at each other for market share. Yahoo, meanwhile, seems intent on giving up the
search game entirely for becoming a Web applications provider.
Bing and Google will also likely continue their grudge match over
features. In November and December, Microsoft rolled out several new Bing
features, including a beta version of Bing Maps that made it a
more robust competitor to Google's Street View. Additionally, Bing now features a more robust
video-search page and results from Wolfram Alpha. In 2010, expect both companies to go through
several new rounds of competing feature tweaks and add-ons.
Microsoft will also spend 2010 trying to push Bing
into foreign markets, notably China; but with Google's robust presence overseas, and the Yahoo deal
restricted to the
United States, Bing could
have some trouble increasing its market share in those areas.
Possible Revenue Rebound, Powered by Windows 7
The economic recession battered Microsoft. For the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2009, the company reported a 17 percent decline in year-over-year
revenue, with earnings arriving at $1 billion below Wall Street estimates.
Results for the next quarter offered a somewhat shallower decline of 14 percent
year-over-year, with operating income, net income and diluted earnings all
continuing to fall by double-digit numbers.
Both Microsoft and its OEMs hope that companies with Windows-based IT infrastructure will use Windows 7 as an excuse to upgrade their systems, and buy the next generation of Microsoft products, in 2010. In both interviews with eWEEK and larger conference calls with investors and media, company executives have suggested that any uptick in sales of Windows 7 and associated products will be roughly in line with any rise in PC purchases through 2010 and beyond, irrevocably linking Microsoft's fortunes to those of the wider tech industry.
A number of analysts seem to think a tech-refresh
scenario is possible.
"It looks like the Win7 inspired upgrade cycle can start in late 2010 and
run through early 2013," Katherine Egbert, an analyst with Jefferies & Co.,
wrote in an Oct. 12 report. "We expect new hardware purchases to precede the
software upgrades by about 6 months."
But the economy could certainly hit the skids again, in which case a tech refresh would be necessarily blunted as companies battened down their budgetary hatches. In any case, Microsoft executives seem intent on curbing expectations: in an Oct. 23 earnings call, Microsoft Chief Financial Office Chris Liddell suggested that the company would remain "reasonably cautious" about the prospect of a tech refresh, echoing comments earlier in the year from Steve Ballmer.
A Hail Mary Pass for Mobile
Microsoft Throws
Its Hail Mary Pass for Mobile
By the second quarter of 2009, Microsoft's share of the mobile operating system
market had declined to around 9 percent. October saw the release of Windows Mobile 6.5, but even the company's
executives admitted that the update to Microsoft's Mobile OS was just a
placeholder until 2010, when the company is expected to roll out
Mobile 7.
Mobile 7 is supposedly a major upgrade to Microsoft's operating system franchise, and the company has thus far kept details under wraps. However, continued pressure from a variety of competitors in the space, including Google, Apple and Research In Motion, makes Mobile 7's quest for market share a decidedly difficult one.
Some have declared that quest an impossible one. "It's time to declare
Microsoft a loser in phones. Just get out of dodge," Mark Anderson of the Strategic News Service told
The New York Times on Dec. 10, in comments widely circulated. "Phones are consumer items, and Microsoft
doesn't have consumer DNA."
But 2010 will ultimately determine whether Anderson's comments prove accurate, and Windows Mobile becomes an also-ran, or if Mobile 7 allows Microsoft to retain or gain incremental share in the market space.
Microsoft Plunges into the Cloud, Again Facing
Microsoft built its business primarily on the desktop. However, it has
taken steps to embrace the paradigm shift inherent in the rise of cloud
computing, some of which will bloom to fuller life in 2010.
Jan. 1, 2010 marks the full "switch on" of Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, composed of three parts that work in symphony to create Web applications and services: Windows Azure, an operating system as a service; SQL Azure, a cloud-based relational database; and .Net services, which provide both secure connectivity and federated access control for applications.
Customers will have three payment options for the
service: a pay-as-you-go model,
subscription format or volume licensing. Microsoft's competitors in the space
include Amazon and Google.
Given that cloud services represent a potential $150
billion market opportunity, according to research firm Gartner, it's
unsurprising that these companies are all fighting for market-share. For its
part, Microsoft could help increase the acceptance of cloud computing within the
"There are many enterprises that consider themselves Microsoft shops that
have people that only know Microsoft tools and APIs," Gartner analyst Ray Valdes
told eWEEK in 2008, when the Azure platform was first announced. "Amazon and
Google have been chipping away at these, but Microsoft is firmly
Microsoft may be positioned well for the enterprise cloud market in 2010,
but its other cloud-based endeavors may prove a riskier bet. In a bid to compete
with Google Apps, Microsoft will introduce browser-accessible versions of
OneNote, Excel, Word and PowerPoint for Windows Live subscribers. Although these
Web-based applications will lack the full functionality of the upcoming Office
2010, Microsoft is evidently hoping that enough users will gravitate toward
their own cloud productivity suite in place of Google's offering.
Given that Google Apps have attracted attention among consumers, municipal governments and businesses, however, Microsoft could find itself in a bit of fight when it comes to spreading its own brand of Web-based productivity. But Redmond also doesn't have much of a choice; in 2010, Google will attempt to spread Google Apps even further among the enterprise and consumers via the propagation of Google Chrome, its upcoming browser-based OS for netbooks and-potentially-more robust PCs. Browser-accessible versions of Office may blunt some of Google's impact.
