Why can't I have Firebug enabled?
Due to the instabilities Firebug causes when using LonghornNetwork.com, it is highly recommended to disable it for the best possible viewing experience.
Nothing happens when I click on the "Watch Live" button. How do I view the Longhorn Network video player?
The player is displayed in its own pop-up window. Your computer's pop-up blocker may be preventing the window from launching. Hold down the control button when clicking on the "Watch Now" button. That may allow a pop-up to be launched. If that doesn't work, please consult the instructions for the pop-up blocker you have installed.
Will I be able to watch the Longhorn Network using my laptop and a wireless card?
Yes, by signing in with your providers credentials.
Why does audio or video playback stop and/or stall?
Playback should not stop or stall under normal circumstances. However, video delivery may be disrupted during periods of internet congestion or when too many computer applications are open at the same time.
What can I do if the video playback stops or plays slowly?
If playback stalls, stops or plays slowly, try one or all of the following:
- Refresh your browser or close your browser and open it again.
- Drag the rewind button back in time several minutes in the program timeline.
- Avoid internet congestion by waiting several minutes before viewing the programming again.
- Close other computer applications that may be open at the same time.
- Contact Customer Care by calling 85-LONGHORN or (855)-664-4676

Why did a live event not start at the expected start time?

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And the word of Yahweh {came} to me, saying, | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 "Son of man, set your face to the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them, | 2 "Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them |
3 and you must say, 'Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys: "Look, I [am] bringing upon you [the] sword, and I will destroy your high places, | 3 and say: 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places. |
4 and your altars will be desolate, and your incense altars will be broken, and I will throw down your slain ones {before} your idols, | 4 Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols. |
5 and I will place the corpses of the children of Israel {before} their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars. | 5 I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars. |
6 In all of your dwellings, the cities will be desolate and the high places will be ruined, so that your altars will be desolate and will suffer punishment. Your idols will be broken and will come to an end, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works will be destroyed, | 6 Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out. |

Back in July, Barclays was hit with a major lawsuit by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who alleged the bank "favored high-frequency traders in its dark pool and then lied to clients about their participation in the trading venue." It wasn't a great look for the Brits and it came at an especially awkward time for chief executive officer Antony Jenkins, who was supposed to be making the place less fraud friendly than it was under his predecessor. And while the bank has its own lawyers on payroll, who have already responded to the charges, one guy who knows from lawsuits has chosen to offer his unsolicited counsel nevertheless. Read more »
Recording the quotidian details of my day seems to add hours a day to my life: I'm not sure why. Another trick is to focus on some ordinary thing–the faintly geological strata of the insides of a burrito, for instance–and try to describe what I see. Another: pick a task I'd normally do quickly and thoughtlessly–writing words for the side of a cup, say– and do it as slowly as possible. Forcing my life into slow-motion, I notice a lot that I miss at game speed. The one thing I don't notice is the passage of time. [BI]
Study Reveals Investors A Lot More Likely To Fund Entrepreneurs That Graced A Recent GQ Cover
By Bess LevinResearchers from Harvard Business School, Wharton, and the MIT Sloan School of Management have determined that venture capitalists like their pitches wrapped up in pretty packaging. If you've got a great idea but sense you're not Adonis, consider hiring a male model to do the talking. Also of note, don't even think about letting a woman make your presentation. Read more »

Nassim Taleb: If Bankers Don't Like Bonus Caps They Should Grow Some Balls And Start A Hedge Fund
By Bess Levin"I admire the move by the European Union to restrict the bonuses of that class of privileged civil servants called "bankers" — a recognition that the taxpayers have the right to control the income of those they subsidize and bail out, just as they set the salaries of other state-sponsored workers. Alas, bankers in their current status are an offense to capitalism; they are in a strange situation of having upside without downside, no skin in the game. As an additional insult to the taxpayer, bankers paid themselves the largest bonus pool of their history in 2010 — thanks to Troubled Asset Relief Program. If a banker wants to be free in his income, he should start his own hedge fund. Because hedge fund operators are invested in their funds; they typically have 50 times more risk as a share of their net worth than their largest customer." [NYT]

Fitness, like its closest cousin, athletics, always comes with an undercurrent of competition. That's beneficial when you're training for a marathon or trying to lose weight. But most of us are already striving to outperform our colleagues on a daily basis. Adding more rivalry—Bob is the best spinner, Kate fell off the Tough Mudder wall, John is so damn slow—is unnecessary at best and destructive at worst. You're better off pretending the invite went to your spam folder or ducking out of work early when everyone's putting on their short-shorts. If you see co-workers at your gym, switch gyms. If you can't do that, nod from afar. Don't engage, even positively, as it just gets weird: "Once, I said to my co-worker, 'I want to have abs like yours,' " remembers David Perez, who works in public relations. "It did not go over well." The biggest issue isn't the workout itself, it's what happens after. "I once ran into my boss in the showers, totally naked, and he wanted some exercise advice from me," says Kivanc Ozdemir, a hotel executive. He told his manager that he should try more cardio. "Obviously, I saw him differently after that." [BW]
Bernard Madoff's former computer programmers asked for payment in diamonds to continue aiding the con man's $17 billion Ponzi scheme in 2006 after they became uncomfortable with their role, a jury was told. The "crazy" request from Jerome O'Hara and George Perez was turned down and the men were given salary increases and bonuses, Frank DiPascali, Madoff's former finance chief, testified today in Manhattan federal court in the trial of the men and three other ex-colleagues. "Where the hell am I gonna get a bag of diamonds?" said DiPascali, who pleaded guilty in the case and is testifying in a bid for a lighter sentence. The programmers, who said they were "in a bit of a pickle," agreed on a "fairly substantial percentage increase" to their salaries, he said. [Bloomberg]

A pro bono group, "New Beginning" has been set up. The group, made up of lawyers, business people and concerned citizens, was launched on 31 October 2010 with the intention of representing defendants in repossession cases as well as mounting test cases ito establish whether lending institutions owe a duty of care to borrowers, and if so whether such a duty was breached.
Co-founder of the pro bono group, Ross Martin SC wrote a piece in the Irish Times days before the group was launched, exploring the potential tort of reckless lending. He referred to the Consumer Protection Code issued by the Financial Regulator in 2006, which outlines that lenders must ensure that in all its customer dealings, "it acts honestly, fairly and professionally in the best interests of its customers and the integrity of the market; and acts with due skill, care and diligence in the best interests of its customers". This movement towards a relationship "akin to that between professional advisers and their clients" results in the question as to whether the law of negligence can be applied and whether a duty of care is owed to the borrower.
This pro bono group aims to explore such issues, with the hope that the test cases may result in the banks taking their share of the blame.
Those involved in "New Beginning" are working on a voluntary basis and call for mortgage holders in difficulty to submit their files for review. New Beginning is also calling for any professional volunteers who are willing to give time and advice to contact them.
For more information on the group please click here, or phone 01 871 9499.

PILI is pleased to announce that the first European Pro Bono Award was bestowed upon Lord Andrew Phillips of Sudbury, a leader in advancing pro bono work in the UK and throughout Europe, at the fourth annual European Pro Bono Forum on 19 November. Solicitor, Life Peer and member of the upper house of parliament, Phillips seized the opportunity in accepting the award to motivate lawyers attending the Paris Forum to take on more pro bono work as part of their privileged position in society.
PILI created the European Pro Bono Award to recognize extraordinary contributions to advancing pro bono culture throughout Europe in the pursuit of justice for all. Lord Phillips founded the law firm Bates, Wells & Braithwaite, has been at the forefront in helping to ensure that more firms take on volunteer legal work to improve the lives of the less fortunate and established three national charities, including the Solicitors Pro Bono Group (now LawWorks), which provides free legal help to individuals and organizations.
For more coverage of the award ceremony and Phillips' remarks, please click here.
The Public Interest Law Institute looks forward to presenting the next European Pro Bono Award at the 2011 European Pro Bono Forum, which will be held in Berlin. For more coverage and photos from the Forum in Paris, visit PILI's Facebook page here.

Venue: Buswells Hotel, 23 -27 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2
The report authors, Paul Joyce, FLAC's Senior Policy Analyst and Dr Stuart Stamp, Research Associate, NUI Maynooth, will present the report and its findings as well as a set of recommendations around consumer-proofing our legislative framework into the future.
REDRESSING THE IMBALANCE critically examines the legal protections available for consumers of credit and other financial services in Ireland. It identifies not only a number of serious deficiencies and gaps in such protections, but more fundamentally and worryingly, a systemic approach that has consistently served to prioritise the interests of financial service institutions over those of consumers. The report provides a detailed account of how European-level developments, piecemeal national legislation and conservative consumer regulation have combined to leave certain Irish financial service consumers –and in particular consumers of credit and distressed mortgage borrowers - particularly exposed.
Drawing on the experiences of consumers and their advocates, the study further highlights how such exposure can be compounded by difficulties accessing and using processes ostensibly designed to facilitate the resolution of complaints against providers. The report concludes with a series of recommendations as to how the imbalance in the Irish legal apparatus might be redressed from a financial service user perspective.
As space is limited pre-registration is essential. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01 887 3600 and ask for Amy Heffron.
Oxford Pro Bono Publico (OPBP) is pleased to announce its inaugural Symposium on "Public Interest Lawyering in the Twenty-First Century".
Justice Abella of the Supreme Court of Canada will be delivering the keynote speech on 'Access to Justice – A Public Interest Perspective'. Confirmed panellists include Helen Mountfield QC, Matrix Chambers; Jonathan Cooper OBE, Doughty Street Chambers; Janet Love, National Director of the Legal Resources Centre South Africa; Brad Broackman, General Secretary of Equal Education South Africa; Lisa Vanhala, University College London.
The Symposium marks over fourteen years of pro bono work at the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford. We seek to examine both the development and future of public interest lawyering generally and more specifically, the impact and contribution of OPBP's pro bono research in public interest lawyering.
The Symposium will explore key themes confronting public interest lawyers, over three panel sessions featuring prominent practitioners and academics. Panel themes include public interest lawyering in times of austerity in the United Kingdom, and the use of pro bono international and comparative law research in complementing the work of public interest lawyers on the ground. There will also be case studies from those at the forefront of public interest lawyering in respect of right to education litigation in South Africa, featuring perspectives of advocates and clients. In addition to these panel sessions, the Symposium will also feature presentations by past and present executive committee members of OPBP, showcasing our pro bono work.
We invite all students, academics and practitioners interested in the public interest and pro bono law to attend and participate in the Symposium.
Registration is free.

When: 1-2 November 2014
Where: London
In conjunction with UCL Faculty of Law, the UCL Science, Medicine, and Society Network is offering a two-day symposium designed to merge pro bono legal work with the needs of groups lacking legal representation.
This two-day course is aimed at legal practitioners representing or intending to represent the rights of 4th world peoples being individuals or groups belonging to indigenous and traditional cultures, and disenfranchised migrant groups in local and global settings such as asylum-seekers and refugees. The conference is also intended to assist legal practitioners engaged in pro bono work in forming a professional support and knowledge-sharing network, including collaborative research relationships with law students.
Attendees will understand the rights of individuals and groups belonging to indigenous and traditional cultures; the legal status groups must possess to benefit from legal protection; methods in place by which group rights can be protected; and the issues relating to the protection and management of those rights.
For more information please visit the website or contact Dr Aarathi Prasad, UCL Science, Medicine, and Society Network (Phone: 07507 195 665).

The essential event for pro bono lawyers, NGO leaders, and others who are dedicated to using law to achieve social justice. PILnet's eighth annual European Pro Bono Forum will be held 5-7 November in London, U.K.
PILnet: The Global Network for Public Interest Law has announced that registration for the 2014 European Pro Bono Forum—to take place on 5-7 November in London, U.K.—is now open.

By bringing together a growing community that recognises the urgent need for pro bono—leading figures from law firms, corporations, bar organisations, NGOs, and law schools—the event offers a setting where participants can explore how they can most effectively collaborate to address critical issues of social justice. Through interactive workshops, engaging social events, and structured networking opportunities, attendees gain insight into the pro bono community and forge alliances that can help deliver justice and protect rights around the world.
The 2014 Forum will include a heightened focus on the real-world tools that are needed to run a successful pro bono programme, projects for in-house counsel, Roma rights, and the use of technology to promote change. Local, European and global concerns regarding the application of pro bono will all be on the table. The winners of PILnet's prestigious European Pro Bono Awards will also be announced at the Forum.
The Forum will run as a central event of the UK's National Pro Bono Week; a time to celebrate and encourage the contributions lawyers make, free-of-charge, to those in need.

Wherever there is no member of the dormitory council staying at the given dormitory, the election is organized by the Head of Residence of SKM MU. This concerns the Sladkého and Lomená dormitories. For these dormitories, please send your candidature to firstname.lastname@example.com by October 15th 2014.
The dormitory fee is to be paid in advance in the relevant month in accordance with the SUPO Timetable (however, the money should be on SUPO on 10th day of the month).
For students who checked in at the dormitory within 13th – 19th September, there is only one due date off the timetable 24th September.
When you check in during the month, the dormitory fee is due on 10th day from the check-in. Within the first month, apart from the dormitory fee there is also the accommodation deposit to be paid. The accommodation deposit is a deposit on the last month according to the accommodation contract. The accommodation deposit will be automatically accounted in the last month of your stay.
Further information concerning payments – how to pay, can be found in Deposit and Dormitory Fee Payment Instructions.
Provided you check in later than on the date which is in the contract, whether in term till 21st September or later on the basis of the reservation, you will be charged a compensation for your late check-in instead of the dormitory fee (for the relevant number of days).
Would you like to get the dormitory accommodation in additional proceedings, possibly to move? Currently vacant beds can be found here.
Provided you are interested in a vacant bed, please write an application for a vacant bed from your university e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com stating the dormitory you would like to stay in and the date you would like to check in. It is necessary to check in at the dormitory within 2 days from the dormitory allocation. The minimal length of the accommodation is till 31st October 2014.
Any exchanges are to be made always on 1st working day of a month. Instructions for exchanges can be found here. Exchanges on vacant beds will not be confirmed until 29th-30th September, your applications are not to be sent earlier than after 25th September. Students who are not staying in the dormitory yet will be given reservation preference.
The Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic informs students travelling from countries affected by the occurrence of Ebola about the ways of transmission and what to do when coming from a high-risk area.
Note for foreign students: "Confirmation of providing the accommodation" either for the purpose of granting a visa or prolonging it is to be written out only on the basis of a written application sent by e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com at least 2 working days before your visit at OAMP or the Embassy of the Czech Republic in your country. We send the confirmation by data box to relevant authorities only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays!!!!!!!!
Thus, ask for your confirmation in time!!!!!
From this year on, the obligation to pay the waste disposal fee applies newly also to all the foreigners staying in the area of Brno for more than 90 days. This local fee does not relate in any way to the payment for the accommodation. SKM has no futher information concerning the waste disposal fee. All the information can be found or requested for on the web of Brno Municipal Government (Magistrát města Brna). FAQ on the Brno Municipal Governemt web.

After years and dozens of albums produced, it's very clear now that Senmuth has learned from alot of his mistakes, and is making a generally higher grade of album as his process matures. With another of his 2010 releases 'Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis,' Senmuth shows a much more melodic and purposeful instrumental style than was heard in the past from his work. The compositions are much tighter, and there is a much greater sense of meaning to each note the Russian multi-instrumentalist places in the music. Despite a much greater sense of execution and experimentation to it though, 'Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis' cannot be considered an excellent album.
While Senmuth seems to have finally dealt with all of the biggest execution issues alot of his past music faced and consequently suffered from, there are still issues of the composition and songwriting itself. While there is a degree of experimentation here that puts the more 'avant' leanings of early work to shame, there still seems like there aren't enough melodic hooks, or weirdness to go around. Despite now verging on the avant-garde in terms of his experimentation with sound, 'Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis' doesn't seem like it has enough overt weirdness and depth to warrant the lack of melodic structure to it. While melody isn't necessarily essential to experimental/avant-garde music, it does feel like it's missing here.
Lackings aside however, there is a wealth of imagination here. From the industrial percussive sirens of 'P.H.N.R.E.S.: Neuroanomaly' to the bleak acoustic atmosphere of 'Настоящее: В Прекрасных Растворяясь Снах,' there are certainly sections that spur the listener's interest. Many Senmuth albums have a way of sounding very much the same throughout, but 'Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis' seems to resist that temptation, and deliver a relatively diverse offering. Holding true to the concept of 'experimental music,' some of the ideas here work, and others do not. However, for someone that is much more experienced with the earlier, less involving work of Senmuth's past, this is a sure sign of greater things to come.
Damn Senmuth and his insane music production rate... I can't even claim that the oddly titled Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis is his newest album anymore. Oh well, be that as it may, his productivity is perhaps the primary reason for his notoriety, along with his actual capacity of creating good music at a very good ratio with his number of released albums. That said, Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis isn't the most impressive of the Senmuth albums I own: it's very good, but not a masterpiece like Chambers or the metal masterpiece, Sebek.
Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis is another one of Senmuth's instrumental ambient/ethno albums. However, this one sheds the previous few albums of that type's slick, epic neoclassical sound for a more relaxed and almost melancholic approach to the music. This album's greatest quality, by a long shot, is the very competent mixing of the guitar sound with the keyboard sound. The guitars are very clean, providing no riffs in the metal sense of the word. Instead, they do these kinds of brief "brushes", only for the duration of one or two notes, creating an effect very similar to the ambient music that can be found elsewhere in life, such as in certain role-playing video games (I'm reminded of the original 1995 Diablo here, oddly enough). The playing is also very slow for the entire duration, having seemingly no other objective than the creation of pure, slow music. The acoustic sound is very successful in this role, sounding exactly as it should to create the atmosphere of loneliness and melancholy that's the main objective of Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis. Another musical piece that these melodies reminded me of, oddly enough, is the most recent Opeth album, Watershed, but solely the acoustic portions, which are similar.
The other contributing element to the overall sound is the keyboard. Senmuth uses it discreetly, as if it's only there to add to the primary acoustic guitar sound than to stand out on its own. The synths are not only discreet when they appear, but they do so only relatively rarely. The only noticeable portions are those when there's a passage here or there which is audibly synthetic in nature. Otherwise, it's as if this were an intricate guitar instrumental album. Well, a few strategically positioned soft percussion sounds can be found in a few places, but they're quite rare as well, only to be found around the first half of the album. There's also a small industrial influence on the album, primarily noticeable in the unconventional sounds found on the P.H.N.R.E.S.: Neuroanomaly track.
The atmosphere on Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis is one of the most difficult to decipher. The album combines feelings of nature with some more human-oriented ones, almost post-modern in their effect. I guess that the only truly noticeable theme on the album, due to the cover and one of the titles, is that of volcanoes, going back to the nature aspect mentioned above. One of the songs is named after the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, which has had an important effect on air transportation in Europe this year.
Senmuth's Pat Hof Neu Rog Ene Sis is a pretty good album. It's actually quite experimental in nature, with all the seemingly disparate elements coming together, and in the end it takes a while to actually get used to. It's definitely worth hearing for Senmuth and ambient fans, especially those who don't fear the experimentation of several different musical genres and unconventional ideas. It's just not Senmuth's best.

A few weeks ago, we wrote about the top "Ten Servers that Changed the World." In reaction, I decided to make my own list… The Ten Servers that Changed the Fictional World.
There are two guidelines for this list. One, they must exist only in the world of movies or TV. Second, they need to fit the following definition: A server is a computer system that provides services or data to other computing systems – called clients – over a network or other communication device.
With that said, here they are. In no particular order…
1. Teletraan 1 – Transformers (1983 – 2007)
You might not know much about the Transformers yet, but by next summer, you will. If a server is a computer system that maintains and controls other computer systems, then Teletraan is definitely a server.
Teletraan is the computer that assisted and recreated the Autobots and Decepticons in the Transformers TV show. It was the computer that picked out who would be a semi-truck and who would be a cassette recorder. It routinely provided the lower computer systems (i.e. Transformers) with new data via the spy satellite or extensive database. It was hardware built for imaging.
Real-world comparison: When you think of a computer that excels in graphic design, you think of Apple. So, in theory, we could compare Teletraan with Apple's Xserve. Two dual-core 3GHz Xeon processors with a Xserve RAID for 7TB of Autobot history. On 'roids.
2. MCP – Tron (1982)
The Master Control Program was a massive server running multiple programs at once. The ENCOM corporation had many divisions, each one utilizing this mainframe server for storage and operation. Each program could wander around the mainframe and interact with other programs, ultimately destroying the MCP or operating system and creating big problems. (Not to mention the memory leaks in the RAM were out of control!) Clearly the hardware was in need of a revision. ECC memory and Memory Protection were desperately needed. In the end, the heroes celebrated their triumph over the MCP inside their virtual world. Little did they know, come Monday, the IT admin would probably reload the "damaged" MCP software from a backup-tape – and they would all be deleted shortly after.
Real-world comparison: The MCP could be compared to any modern day operating system. The idea that the MCP would absorb other programs and take over their functions is not unheard of – for example, Apple launched the Dashboard after Konfabulator was created. (And Microsoft has a few anti-trust suits under its belt to further illustrate this point.)
3. UNIX environment – Jurassic Park (1993)
The UNIX environment here is a classic geek joke. Everything we saw was real – created by Silicon Graphics and called IRIX. InGen was the corporation funding the island, and from an IT perspective they let the worst possible thing happen: they allowed one programmer to design the infrastructure with no supervision. What's worse, they obviously required no documentation of what was done. The result was a kid had to hack in and gain ROOT privileges. The likelihood of a young kid knowing a way to get ROOT (and not a more experienced programmer) is pretty hard to swallow. The hardware for this server was probably minimal, running door locks and starting Quicktime movies. "We spared no expense!" You would think that with the millions of dollars they spent on the park, they could have hired a couple newbie programmers and added a server on the backend.
Real-world comparison: Since the actual screen shots used in the movie were based on real software, there isn't much to compare. This could have been any run of mill UNIX server with various dummy terminals.
4. WOPR (War Operations Plan Response) – WarGames (1983)
The good people working at NORAD decided to give total control of the nuclear weapons to a computer, specifically the War Operations Plan Response server. It was a computer they bought, and obviously didn't research very well. My biggest criticism of the WOPR is that the NORAD folks didn't look at what they had – it had games on it. Everyone knows, if you want a computer system to be optimized for its sheer power, you delete the games. There's a reason that Windows Server 2003 doesn't come with Solitaire.
Real-world comparison: The WOPR hardware itself was probably pretty simple, the radar information from around the country was fed in via fiber optic cables and interpreted as a whole. Then the commands to the missiles could be phoned out and delivered via the 1200bps modem (remember this was 1983). The data analysis wouldn't be much different from a weather station's software, with multiple servers being clustered together, commonly called a Beowulf Cluster. (Also used for the Sony Playstation 2.)
5. SKYNET – The Terminator(1984)
The SKYNET computer was designed for missile defense, and I'm guesssing nobody who designed this computer system saw "WarGames" (see above). The hardware for this server would have been some sort of distributed system, because if it was at one location, turning it off would have been simple. The software running on SKYNET must have been very buggy at first. (Imagine how incorrectly a child would learn everything if he was allowed to teach himself instead of being taught.) Maybe that's why SKYNET began killing everyone once it got the chance.
Real-world comparison: Although we can't see it, most of the internet we use comes from an Akamai server. It's a basic web/file server but it synchronizes constantly with other Akamai servers. When you download a file, it comes from one of maybe hundreds of servers. That's why the server doesn't go down when millions of people hit it at once. All that needs to happen is for Akamai to gain control of our nuclear weapons.
6. The Gibson – Hackers (1995)
Hacking the Gibson has become a euphemism for showing off your skills. The actual nature of this machine is much less showy. The name comes from an homage to a sci-fi writer, William Gibson, and was used to calculate oil drilling locations and data. The movie depicts this as a single computer, which doesn't exist in reality. They do exist, however, in clusters. The server from the movie (aside from the gratuitous GUI) is just a basic server running UNIX. At the end of the movie, the IT team tried to fend off the attacks of hackers around the world. If they only would've had a stateful firewall in front of that server, they could have saved a lot of time. The firewall would've blocked all non-solicited traffic to the inside network, leaving only the telnet connections in, which could be turned off in a state of emergency.
Real-world comparison: GRID computing is similar to a Beowulf Cluster but differs in the open standard and distances. The cluster needs the computers to be directly connected and running similar software. The GRID concept allows computers all over the world, running different software, to contribute to the overall computing power. An example of this would SETI@Home or Folding@Home. The dream that a single server could analyze as much data as 10,000 desktop computers is just that – a dream.
7. The Source – The Matrix (1999 – 2003)
The Source was a server that supplies data and services to multiple subsystems and computer networks, but the actual hardware is hard to imagine. The movie explains the actual world with a unique, yet effective plot mechanism. They don't know their own history and origins of the machine world. Convenient.
Real-world comparison: A logical real-world equivalent to the Matrix is Second Life. According to Linden Labs, they use servers that have two dual core processors which they call Class 4. They call the network of servers a "grid," but only because of the layout, not because of distributed computing power. Each server runs a specific area of the world. There are disputes, but one report says there are 2,579 servers. However, the World of Warcraft users will argue that they have the bigger, better world. Second Life doesn't have as many users as World of Warcraft, but WoW has individual servers (or realms) and a relatively static world in comparison. If you've played Second Life, then you'll understand the comparison. The world is so slow to render and low in quality and resolution that it becomes almost unbearable. It would take some serious horsepower for a system to render a world so realistic, a human would believe in it.
8. HAL9000 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
The HAL9000 or SAL9000 (the earthbound female counterpart) was responsible for making decisions and carrying out orders aboard a spaceship when humans were not willing or capable of doing so. The break-through on this server was the AI, supposedly the most sophisticated artificial intelligence man could produce. When the movie was released, it was believed that this level of intelligence could be created by the year 2001 – but we now understand that it's much further away than anticipated.
Real-world comparison: This computer has been compared to the Blue Gene. The Blue Gene/L currently holds the top spot on the fastest super computer list with 131,072 processors. It would be a top contender to play HAL9000 on the next space mission. My only suggestion would be to have a kill switch incase HAL decides the humans are conflicting with orders and needs to be "deleted."
9. VIKI – I, Robot (2004)
V.I.K.I. is the governing intelligence behind all the robots in the film, "I, Robot." In the movie, V.I.K.I. is a positronic brain – a CPU that can create new pathways for each new task it learns. While nobody has perfected the technology, they have patented it. Eventually, the final product would be a computer that could be taught – a technology that seems inevitable based on CPU trends. If you want to know more about positronic brains, watch some Star Trek, The Next Generation.
Real-world comparison: This is a bit of a stretch, so bare with me. V.I.K.I. was the server responsible for sending out updates and keeps tabs on all the robots in the world. When she decided humans were a threat, she sent out a final update that allowed the robots to begin killing humans.We currently have a server/client scenario that is marketed to sit in every familyXbox Live. So next time you are changing the CD in there, watch your fingers! Microsoft could decide to send a lethal update to our Xboxes!
s living room and receive commands from the "mothership." We call it————————————————————————————————————-
10. Deep Thought Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
The Deep Thought computer was created to answer one question. What is the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? As you might imagine, the question is a bit vague. So the computer begins to calculate the answer as it has been commanded. After 7.5 million years, the answer is 42. The amount of computer cycles to compute all possibilities is quite large. Calculating all the possibilities from a question is currently a busy project.
Real-world comparison: There was a paper written by Philippe Oechslin, describing the benefit of Time vs Memory in computational speed. It explained how you could calculate out all the possibilities in an algorithm and save the results, and then the software would only need to access the file instead of force the CPU to do the math. Of course, the most applicable use of this has been for password cracking. Rainbow tables are the result of this study. The basic set of characters doesn t take too long on top of the line hardware. However, every good system administrator knows that enforcing complex passwords in a Windows domain is standard. That means eight characters with a least one capital letter. If you use that character set, you are looking at a bit longer. Over 32 years on a single CPU computer, still much better than 7.5 million years!

Featured Book And The Whippoorwill Sang by Micki Peluso
I like to plumb the hidden musical depths of people who, whilst they may be fairly well known, are bubbling just below the public's sight line. Ali McMillan, quintessential Englishman, dreadlocked roving percussionist and behind the scenes man was the drummer in UK show the X Factor winner Matt Cardle's former band Darwyn and has also been seen with Matt in and around Essex playing the djembe (a West African hand drum shaped something like a huge wine glass) and providing backing vocals whilst they played long covers sets in pubs and clubs such as the Five Bells in Colne Engaine and High Barn in Great Bardfield. There is, however, evidence that Ali has worked with other musicians and may do so again in the future. It is also known that he recently acquired a set of Conga drums. Can he play them? More information was needed. He's a big man and those mild manners and cheery smiles could be deceiving, so rather than tackle him alone, I called in reinforcements. You can read our joint investigation below. Interrogators: CardlesCardie, SamofBev, Azliyah Borhan, Denise Kelly- Marshall, Sue Phillips.
Sam - What made you decide to play percussion and Is there a particular percussionist you admire or aspire to be like? Ali - I never really decided I suppose. I just had a go on some congas once and that was it. Hooked. I was already having drum lessons when I first had a go at percussion. I love playing drums, but I prefer playing with my hands rather than sticks. I want to be like the percussionists you see on shows like Stevie Wonder's Live at Last DVD.
Sue - I've heard you are self taught. Is that true? Ali - Yes as far as percussion goes, I am self taught. I went to Lights Music Action summer school in 1996 with the aim of playing piano, and when I got there, there was a rather large drums/percussion section in the band run by a guy called Tony King. He showed me how to play Congas that week, and then I never looked back! I have had drum lessons while I was at school, much to the annoyance of my neighbours when I was growing up!
Cardie - Teaching yourself the djembe - how does that work?? Ali - Practice, practice, practice.
Azliyah - I know you as a brilliant percussionist, can you play any other instruments? Ali - I play piano, drums. I have a bass and a small guitar. I also have a couple of wooden flutes. I have a violin somewhere in the garage too along with a couple of accordions. I can't play actual songs, but I can make notes.
Sam - Is there any instrument you want to learn to play? Ali - I sing and I can play other instruments, but I've never been any good at sight reading. I had years of piano lessons and never quite grasped it. I understand it, but it always took me ages to work out a chord. I guess guitar would be something I would like to learn. I would like to be able to create actual music rather than just rhythms occasionally. Sometimes, when I'm sitting behind a kit or a Djembe I think 'I'm not really doing much back here!' I want to be at the front of the stage from time to time!
Sue - You have a beautiful singing voice, would you ever consider doing solo vocals? Ali - I would love to sing. I can sing. But I never really get the opportunity!
Sue - What are you currently working on – and who with?Ali - Right now I'm working at High Barn (Essex). I am programming the events mainly but also doing sound occasionally for the gigs here. I've always wanted to work here so it really is a dream come true.
Cardie - Could you please explain what your job entails at Highbarn? You seem to have a great atmosphere there.Ali - I manage the events programming. I listen to all the demo submissions. I look after the website content and mailing lists. I also do sound/lights for the events and try to think of new nights to put on. all the time.
Sam - Do you like working "behind the scenes" or do you prefer performing?Ali - I've always wanted to work at High Barn, since we came here with Darwyn in 2005. And now I am, which is amazing, and I'm having such a great time here too. But I prefer performing.
Sam - Do you want to be a session musician or would you prefer to work exclusively with one artist?Ali - I want to do both. I want to work with one artist like I always have done, or a group of artists in a band. but I also want to be known as the guy to go to when you want drums/percussion. I've got a way to go yet, but I'm on the way!
Sam - Which do you prefer: to play your own music or covers? Ali - I suppose I like playing my own music. When we were doing Darwyn it was great to see people singing your own lyrics back at you. But when we were doing the covers, we made them our own, so it felt like they were ours. So that was pretty good. So I guess the actual answer would be...I don't know. Or both.
Azliyah - When and where was the biggest gig you have ever done? Ali - The biggest gig might be Brownstock Festival a few years ago. There were a lot of people there.
Sam - What and where has been your favourite performance?Ali - Well High Barn was always a special place to play. We were always quite loud for the place, but people enjoyed us. We always had a strange thing happen. If we were looking forward to a gig, something would happen to make it shit. Like the sound would be bad, or no one would turn up. But whenever we thought a gig was going to be crap, it more often than not turned out better than we had hoped!
Cardie - I absolutely ADORE the version of All along the Watchtower from High Barn in February. It's nearly an obsession with me!!!! Sorry that's not a question, it's a #justsayin. Ali - I love the fact that you added a hashtag into the question and I'm not even looking at this on Twitter. AATW is an epic song and I'm glad we covered it.
Sue - When you perform at High Barn with Matt, you often seem to be saying things that make you both laugh. I read your account of going to see him at the X Factor and it's clear you have a natural talent for comedy, have you ever considered building on this either as a writer or performer?Ali - I love making people laugh. I can have quite a dark sense of humour sometimes, but I usually save that for close friends. I used to take drama lessons at school and I've always been interested in writing. Who knows, if all else fails, I may try that instead!
Sam - How much were you involved in writing Darwyn songs and are there any more Darwyn originals hidden away in your vaults? Ali - The three of us used to collectively write Darwyn songs. Sometimes Matt would turn up with a guitar riff, or the beginnings of an idea. And rich and I would add our own take on it. Other times Rich would randomly start playing something on the Piano which would kick off a huge jam session until something sounded cool. The same for me when I would play a random rhythm. I have many rehearsal recordings saved and hidden away. Tracks that we never finished and ideas that grew into the songs we eventually recorded.
Sam - What is your favourite Darwyn song? Ali - Junior is my favourite. It's the one that is the most fun to play. There are a lot of different Darwyn tracks that were my favourite. It was usually which ever was the newest.
Cardie - Looking back, how would you assess the music made by Darwyn? (Completely biased mega fan here). Ali - Awesome. I reckon the idea was good. The execution was very close to the mark. I still love every single track we recorded.
Sam - Have you been a member of any other bands? Ali - I used to be in a band at school called Tourniquet (not my choice of name). I played drums, but I was just starting, so I wasn't very good.
Cardie. What do you miss about teaching, if anything? Ali - The kids were a lot of fun. But everything else was too serious. Some lessons I saw could really suck the life out of someone. The performing arts was always so lively and interesting.
Cardie - I know you are a big Ed Sheeran fan, but who else do you rate currently? Ali - I'm a huge Barenaked Ladies fan, them and Dave Matthews Band. I like a hell of a lot of stuff. My Spotify playlist is very long. And it's not in any kind of order, which makes finding anything long too.
Cardie - When was the last time you had short hair? Ali - I had short hair 10 years ago. I shaved my head in my 2nd year of University and then in January 2004, the dreads went in. It took 5 hours and I've never looked back.
Azliyah - Who are your favourite musicians or artists ? Ali - Dave matthews Band, Barenaked Ladies, Amon Tobin, Prodigy, Stevie Wonder, The Nextmen, PUSA.
Azliyah - If you weren't a musician what would be your alternative career choice? Ali - Let's just say it's a good job I am a musician. Otherwise I would be hungry and homeless.
Denise - Who inspired you to become a musician? Ali - I'm not sure. Music is just something I fell into a long long time ago. Ive never been very good at it. But I love it and it's all I want to do really. I have artists who I aspire to be like, but they all came after I became a musician. I learned Piano first, then one day I sat behind a friends drum kit. Then I pestered my parents to buy me a drum kit. Which they did. Thanks Mum & Dad! Sorry about the noise.
Azliyah - Besides Matt who else do you collaborate with when doing gigs? Ali - I'm doing some stuff with a guy called Gary Osborne .acousticgary, and a couple of other people.
Sue – Where would you like to go next with your music? Ali - I'm trying to promote myself as a percussionist/drummer right now. Seeing if I can get gigging again.
Cardie - It seems now is the time for you to forge your own career, and I really believe you have the talent and personality to do that. Ali - Thank you for your support. That means a lot to me.

The Paddy Power App cannot be trusted - it's official! I have tolerated numerous technical issues in the past with this App which have prevented me placing and confirming bets especially when a popular sports event is in running.

The PaddyPower Sportsbook section is quite user-friendly and is extremely comprehensive in terms of the events that it covers. However, when compared to other websites such as William Hill, it is not as user-friendly as other similar sites. When scrolling down through the sections on the site, it can be quite slow and, when compared to William Hill, can be quite difficult to navigate through. This aspect is certainly something that could be improved. I would recommend PaddyPower to a friend… Read Full Review

The fluidity of the website is not up to standard and hasn't been for quite some time. The promotions offered and not overly appealing as they require in most cases huge stakes for minimal bonus'. I think very little is being offered to loyal customers giving 10, 20 or 30 euro a week to pp. Same regular bets all add up and the customer should be rewarded for this.

The array of sports & events that PP offer to bet on, is pretty staggering. Sports that I follow particularly, such as golf, rugby & soccer are very well covered, down to incredible detail. Which means that it makes it easier to find the value in things that not everyone looks for, - and surely value is the thing any punter prizes most?

Dragonflies Bumbles Butterflies, oh my!
By M & M Meadow
from Forest Lake MN
Comments about Pollinator Wildflower Seed Mix:
The Dragonflies found our in-town meadow first, then the Bumbles, then the Butterflies, and even a couple Hummingbirds! It has been so much fun watching all the activity and the daily changes to our new meadow (10' x 35' area of our back yard). We live in Zone 4, didn't plant until May 25th and still had wonderful results!
Honey bees galore
By Justin Hitt
from Martinsville, VA
Planted in open spaces along front of property, between garden beds, and both sides of the drive way entrance. A large number of pollinators were attracted which spilled nicely over into the vegetable patches.Great color growing as tall as 2 foot. My wife was happy, even took some as cut flowers. Best of all they weren't bothered much by deer pruning.Great chop-n-drop cover once things go to seed -- if you can tolerate that ugly period as plants dry end of season.

Extreme poor growth! Don't bother.
By Deb
from South Central Missouri
I used this product to canvas an area that is roughly 20 ft. x 40 ft. Light shade. The area was cleared, turned over, and fertilized before planting. The growth was weak, slow, and the only seeds to come up out of the entire mix, were Crimson clover, Partridge pea (which comes up here everywhere), and Cosmos which have not bloomed yet (Aug. 20th). Again, I have been very disappointed with this product. I have never had such a poor showing with seeds.

[UPDATE] My wife has lost all interest in sex, and says this is normal for married couples. (self.AskMen)
233 ups - 50 downs = 183 votes
Hello friends, I posted here a while back and got some very detailed advice.
TL;DR of original post: Basically the title. Wife of one year only has vanilla sex infrequently and doesn't seem to enjoy it, also makes me feel bad for wanting more/kinky stuff.
I took the biggest advice I was getting here, which was to talk to her openly about it and make it clear that both of us needed to compromise and have our sexual needs met. At first, I asked her to go see a counselor with me like a lot of you suggested. She was vehemently against it (it has to do with her past unrelated experiences with a counselor, she swears she'll never go to one again because they are useless.)
So I said, "okay but you have to talk to me completely openly and don't hold anything back. Answer all my questions". She agreed.
For the next two hours of so, we talked a lot. At first, she was just hinting at some mental blocks she was having but I finally got out more information from her. Turns out that even though she regrets a lot of her past sex and abusive exes, she still misses the variety of sex with a lot of different people / different styles / different sizes / etc. She tried comparing it to a food buffet, where if you only eat bread it'll start to taste bland after a while. After we were done talking (well, it was more of an argument at this point) she started crying and said she didn't want to tell me this because she loves me as a husband and doesn't want me to feel bad. But she doesn't know how to solve her issue.
I was pretty hurt as this conversation went on. I know she was experienced while I have only been with 1 one-night stand before meeting her, so I was hardly a Casanova in bed. But I tried earnestly to learn what she liked and to spice it up during our dating phase, and I thought she enjoyed it too! So now I'm thinking wtf, if she enjoyed it then did she just start getting bored of my sexual ability later on?
So she started crying, and I comforted her. But at the same time, I made it clear that we were gonna have to solve our problem somehow, we can't just let it fester. She asked me to wear a dildo while having sex with her because she said a lot of her previous partners were well-endowed and that even though I'm a great lover, she misses the variety of exploring different sized penises.
I'm angry, Reddit. Angry not only because she strung me along like this for so long without telling what was the matter, but also it just makes me feel like such a small man to be asked to wear a dildo during sex and pretend to be someone I'm not. Maybe I'm not the biggest guy out there but I've put my heart and soul into making this girl as satisfied as possible - sexually, romantically, platonically, financially, whatever! And now being told that from now on, she wants me to wear extra appendages because somehow she's lost her attraction with my body and wants more.
How do I take it from here? I don't know how many of you have been told straight-up that you are inadequate, but it really does make me feel like a piece of shit. If I wear a synthetic penis when having sex with her, every time I put it on I'll be reminded that I'm not good enough for her. I can't go through with it, definitely not forever. But I fear that if I refuse, she might withdraw even more and then the worst could happen. Separation. Divorce. Who knows.
I love this girl with all my heart and I still think she loves me equally. But I don't understand why she would make a vow of marriage while still longing for her past sexual experiences, why she can't just enjoy me for who I am. And I feel pretty hurt because that implies she pretended to enjoy me for the last two years before getting married, or it somehow magically dried up recently. I don't know what to think anymore, or do.
TL;DR: My wife says she misses the variety of having a diverse sexual experience with different people. Asked me to put on a dildo while having sex from now on, just to see if that would help give her that variety back. I don't want to do it.

Belgian Police Did Not Waffle in Face of Islamic Terror
Kudos to Belgian police for killing at least two members of a terror cell in Verviers linked to ISIS that was apparently planning a "Belgian Charlie Hebdo".
Unfortunately, there's plenty more where that came from. But at least it can be said that today Belgian police did not waffle when faced with Islamic terror.
