Petition Against UK Communications Censorship
Re: Petition Against UK Communications Censorship
At least they'll read it and know how people feel.IE That they AREN'T happy about this. It's been in the top six (and usually at number one or two) petitions for many days now.
It's not just about the adult material. It's about what comes next and what else will be filtered. It's about precedent, and the future possibility of not being about to opt out. A slippery slope concern really.
I am sure I can speak for many people. We know how these repressive governments work and we don't want it.
WAR ON PORN: UK flicks switch on 'I am a pervert' web filters
It could even be fun....
Maybe we should all have these filters turned on for a while...
Then we can find out how easy it is to get around the stuff, and then complain bitterly to the government, and in particular Mr Cameron for the stupidity of it all. Especially when you can no longer look for the "blue tit birds" when taking an interest in ornithology.
"Mr Cameron you mean I've STILL got to watch what my children do online ?"

How to survive a UEFI BOOT-OF-DEATH on Samsung laptops
Crash dump Disk file anyone ?
They should have written the crash data to the UEFI FAT32 disk boot partition not the NV-Ram. Using NV-Ram is simply dumb and NOT what it is for.
Microsoft: Welcome back to PCs, ARM. Sorry about the 1990s
In fact with RT Microsoft seems to be trying to create the same kind of tightly controlled environment for ARM based tablets, as iOS, where everything will come either from Microsoft, or via their "Store" and nowhere else.... Certainly it seems that independently built desktop apps won't be allowed for sure, even from the Store.
Why is that ?
I hope it is a dismal failure. I certainly won't buy one that's for sure.
Pretty soon it seems we may have to rely on Linux for the freedom to run exactly what we want on OUR hardware. Thank goodness it is there for us.
It's a pity the original Linux licence didn't prevent it being used to be morped into repressive, highly controlled touch screen operating systems.
Re: RISC OS, which bore little resemblance
Re Acorn file paths.
Instead of names like HardDisc4
:0, :1 etc. could be used for floppy disks.
:4, :5 etc. could also be used for hard drive devices as I recall, as well as the device names or name of the individual floppy disk. If you didn't have a needed named floppy in the drive, then you'd be prompted to insert it.
But you could also use <Obey$Dir> for the path of your app just clicked on, and just go down from there for your own resources in your app folder.
All easy peasy actually.
Fond memories of Acorn
Acorn's Archimedes series of machines were wonderful all rounders and so easy to work with. Some of the games we converted (for example Pacmania which I did myself) were by far the best versions in fact. For games players, we supported it like no other games company did, converting a such a of major Amiga titles, such as the Lemmings series (which I also did) etc. I often wonder if it wasn't for our efforts on the platform, the format might have died a lot earlier, along with the Arm processor. What we achieved certainly made it a more acceptable computer for the kids to own.
Perhaps phones might have all have had intel devices in them and still be big and fat if it wasn't for us lol!
Salesforce CEO Benioff: Win 8 is 'the end of Windows'
Slow - and possibly unreliable.
It'll take just a few major nework outages, and loads of people sat there doing very little, and some angry bosses to bring the "cloud" into disrepute.
Even MS themselves had serious problems when they decided to implement MSDN in the cloud under Azure in the UK and retreated backwards. Meanwhile we couldn't download anything for days.
Bring your own device isn't so good either. Doing things in a web browser (if that's the plan) can be tortous at times, for example typing this message under MS IE 9 is awfully slow, and a game of "guess where the cursor is now", often has to be played.
Only the most rudimentary tasks can be done on a tablet anyway. Regarding the benefits of touch only devices - I think we have a case of mass delusion here along with hardware and OS vendors desperate for something new to sell.
Touch typing on a glass screen ? Much easier to connect a keyboard... Are you trying to click on that text web-link with your finger and keep hitting the one above it ? Connect a mouse and you can be much more precise about where you click. Oh er - What have we got now, but a bog standard computer! Touch screen web browising is a horrible experience, even on dedicated touch screen OS. I have to blow up the screen to press links, and eveb then no tactile feedback is present. Awful really,
We shall see of course.
Integrated storage hardware is DEAD, software firm says
Re: So everything is going to be stored in thin air is it ?
Did I read the article ? Yes of course so I'm not sure what you are saying here. The implication I got is that there is a perception that companies making storage hardware might fail because of use of the cloud and similar setups. But an individual's or company's gigabyte of data, won't be stored in raindrops, but will still need to be on a physical hard drive (or other mass storage device) located somewhere on the planet, hopefully well backed up too, So someone somewhere will still have to make those storage devices. Let's hope too, that these "cloud" companies using that hardware can and will take better care of that individual's gigabyte, than will the owner of that data who saved it in the "cloud" for a "rainy day" goodness knows where and hoped the "cloud" company never went bust until that day came.
Let's also hope that internet companies connections become much faster, more reliable, and they stop whinging about data download "fair" useage otherwise the "cloud" will become a a bit of an unusable joke.
Undoubtedly there could in the distant future be less demand for enormous hard drives in home and corporate user's computers, with all the unused space often on them, but I think we are a long way off, at least here in the UK. Perhaps this perceived lack of demand for hard drives will cause server farm storage to be rather more expensive making the clould less attractive ?
In the mean time I'll keep my gigabytes locally on my own hardware and back it up myself if its all the same to anyone. It's the only way I can be certain it's really safe and secure. I wouldn't blame anyone else for taking a similar approach either.
So everything is going to be stored in thin air is it ?
So, who is going to manufacture the storage devices the servers need to implement the "cloud" ?
Oh, of course, they can store their data in "the cloud" too can't they!
Along with the servers which their "cloud" provider use.., And so on....
Hmmm.. Someone somewhere has to keep making some kind of physical bit storage device, unless they really can now store data in fluffy looking white coalesced raindrops up in the sky, along with the pie up there in "the cloud" .....
eBay frets as right to resell comes under scrutiny
Re: There is a difference...
If you can't resell something, then it has zero value as an asset, so would people really pay a lot of money for something which was immediately rendered worthless after purchase ?
Wouldn't they be mad really to purchase an item with such restrictions ?
Imagine buying a car, which you couldn't resell because of the licensing conditions of the sofware in the on-board computer! Or that top of the range flat screen television you bought on impulse.
It sounds like some of these companies just want to have their cake and to eat it as well.
Pure greed,
Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 64GB Android tablet review
It's a shame about ASUS diabolical customer service though. I have a transformer TF101 and the screen got faint brighter screen blobs for NO REASON whatsoever. They had it back and refused to repair it, as they said it was CUD (Customer Induced Damage) and returned it, and they didn't charge me for the return carriage (Some guilt perhaps ?) as they normally would if it is the customer's fault.
Well I'd done *nothing* to cause this, and remember that the unit had crashed whilst on charge and had overheated. I told them this but it made no difference. PC world were no better after I complained and protested to them.
Futhermore my mother's ASUS laptop virtually fell to bits at 14 months old. One of our ASUS desktop machines here at work failed after a week, an ASUS laptop we have won't produce any sound after Windows is installed under the EFI BIOS rather than standard MBR. I have had nothing bit negative experience with ASUS and diabolical ineffective customer service. Buy their products at your peril in my opinion.
I wouldn't by a 13 amp mains piug made by ASUS now.
Ice Cream Sandwich still a no-show for most Android users
Slow down a bit please Google.
They should slow down a bit. Our Android devices (especially phones) are noq becoming obsolecent before one has even taken them out of the shop or received delivery of them.
Perhaps they should fix bugs and make minor improvements to existing OS versions for longer.
As for ICS running on Android 2.3 hardware, will someone please tell that to HTC for the benefit of DesireHD owners like me ? OK I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 now, but I still have the HTC too. I'd better get used to having it languishing around as no one else would want the 18month old now prematurely obsolescent thing. Which of course is the LAST HTC made device I shall ever buy.
Microsoft: It was never 'Metro,' it was always 'Modern UI'
About as modern as an old Ford Poplar
If their so called "ModernUI" was the defacto standard in use right now, and someone came up with the multi tasking multi window desktop, it would be hailed as completely revolutionary. It's therefore only "modern" in the sense that it is new and even that's debatable. It has nothing whatsoever to offer the PC user in my humble opinion.
Even on existing tablets (iPad, and Android) which have been designed for touch, tasks such as web browsing are completely tedious. Simple operations such as clicking on web links with ones finger is diabolicial and error prone, and it's usually necessary to blow up the screen to accomodate your fingers first. The only reason I use it at all, is because I am too lazy to go and boot up the PC just for a quick bit of web browsing in the morning before work.
If the mouse had not been around and we were all fumbling like that, surely someone would have invented it. It too would have been hailed as revolutionary
"ModernUI" is a step backwards. There may be things which could be done, but "ModernUI" certainly isn't it.
Are they really so desperate for something new and revolutionary, they have to go backwards to some kind of none windowing window scheme ?
Add the infernal thing if you really must, but PLEASE don't cripple PC desktop use because of it. Allow people to set up *their* computers as THEY want. Booting directly into desktop with startmenu and all, if necessary.
Forcing this thing on people is ludicrous, and completely arrogant.
Samsung fails to stall Galaxy Nexus sales ban
Re: This whole patent thing is a joke..
'slavishly copy' Apple
Anyone who thinks Android does that, knows less than NOTHING about them, and has never used one.
The lawyers whoever they were should stick to doing house conveyencing if they can't tell the difference between an Apple and a Samsung Android device.
I dumped my extremely boring iPhone 3G, and then my 3GS two years ago, because the iPhone 4 was FAR too expensive PAYG when I went to buy one. I was extremely surprised when I realised exactly how much MORE Android and the hardware had to offer for so much less.
I could afford the 4S, but it didn't offer any kind of value for money. So I bought an HTC desire HD and NEVER looked back. I've now got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's a fabulous thing indeed and nothing remotely like an iPhone.
Apple need to get their act together. Their OS front end is so completely boring and distinctly old fashioned and far too expensive for what it is. When they add widgets etc. which they surely wiill, will they then be slavishly copying Android I wonder ?
What about a graphic equaliser Apple ? None of your presets suit my ageing ears.
PowerAmp on Androild has a superb one, and so does the Galaxy S3 native.
Now Windows 8 goes into the ring to face Apple's iOS
Another Windows Vista ?
I saw the w8 preview today, and it is awful, especially for desktops.
They've depricated the desktop to some kind of startable app, and given priority to that snotty green coloured array of rectanglular graphics (Arg!!!!!). Touching the start button takes you out of the desktop. To shutdown the computer is completely tortuous requiring navigation to hitherto never seen places. Why can't the user configure the desktop to take prioroty and have the usual start menu options as before ? The Arg can be called up when needed by desktop/mouse users. It could have a seperate button on the taskbar once in the desktop
I have lots of visions in my head regarding what a modern OS should look like, and this isn't it.
How about having a "Tablet zone" section in the OS, which you can start up first if you want ? Or call it up from the desktop ?
As an Asus Android tablet owner, I do like it, but I am becoming increasingly aware of the limitations of tablets without keyboards. Even with my Asus keyboard, I can't be serious about it. Good for emails and that's about it. It certainly not a device for serious computing work, and none of them are. Windows should not deprecate the desktop therefore. In anycase how can it be Windows unless it has Windows ?
w8, Wait! I hope we are waiting a long time, and they consider carefully what they are doing with this. Faciitys for tablets are fine, but it must not take over in the desktop environment.
Apple wins (another) Samsung Android injunction in EU
Scrolling is the same on Honeycomb I thought.
"The Galaxy Tab running Android 3.0 does not have the offending photo viewing interface"
I don't understand that. I've Android 2.3 on HTC Desire HD and Android 3.2 on Asus Transformer Tablet and the scrolling in the HTC gallery app seems identical to the Asus. (Also applies to V 3.0 and 3.1 which didn't change this AFAIK)
Whilst we are on the subject - I had 2 iphones before the HTC, 3G and 3GS (my wife and daughter now have them) and I don't miss them at all. There's nothing I could do on them, that I cannot do on the HTC, and the OS is stable and runs for weeks and weeks on end continously.
I remember also the Apple 3G crashing now and then. I was going to get the iPhone 4, but worked out that 2 years 3G service with internet access at 3GB/Month was much cheaper than buying the iPhone 4 as pay as you go!
There's plenty I CAN do with the HTC that I could not do with the Apple. View flash web sites, for example. Install what I want. Write my own programmes easily, and give then to my friends to install on thier android phones. The same applies to the Asus, versus an iPad.
The only phone I would currently consider now would be a Galaxy S2.
As for these software patents, well they are ridiculous, and I always beleved they were not allowed in Europe, especially such trivial ones as the one that Apple did succeed with.
Looking round the internet it appears that a lot of Apple fans have been upset by recent actions by Apple. I am sure they belived that Apple didn't need to take action against such trivial matters, and would continue to try and lead the market by innovation, rather than incrimination and bully boy tactics, and I would agree with them. Having no competition is no good for anyone, dedicated Apple users included.
IBM PC daddy: 'The PC era is over'
What really is a tabet ?
An iPad, and to a lessor degree Android tablet, is a simply a computer, without a keyboard, with an (in my opinion) inferior locked down operating system with a slower processor. Anyone who thinks a tablet can replace high end PCs in all applications isn't living in the real world. I own an Android tablet, have seen the heavily controlled, jobsworthian, unflashy, holier than thou iPad and wouldn't give up my PCs if I got the tablets for free. Even the Android device (Asus transformer with keyboard) now bores me to death and appears as if it was nothing more than a novelty rather than anything really useful. I sometimes use it for web browsing downstairs or a cursory read of my emails, but never for anything serious.
Many people still need a proper operating system and a proper computer with all the proper peripherals.
How odd that people think an intrinsically inferior, and generally more expensive device will unsurp the PC. It will have to get much better before that happens.
on MY computer or tablet:
1: I want to be able to install whatever I want on it.
2: I want supported FULL access to the operating system, including the kernel if necessary.
3: I want keyboards, printers, mice, external monitor and all other devices that make the use easier.
In Asda the other day, I saw a windows laptop with Win7 premium64 bit for £287... Compare that with a tablet ? Is touch screen really that important. Soon all laptops will have them, and probably detachable screens as well with some kind of decent OS (not locked down rubbish PhoneOS) optimised for touch screens.
It should be noted that to develop anything for the current populiar tablet devices one still needs a PC, or for iPad, a Mac. It's not a proper computer then, otherwise it would be able to host the development environment it needs, for itself!
I was never a big Windows fan (I loved the Acorn RiscOS in its time) but wouldn't be without it, in favour of iOS, or Android alone.
Even for simple jobs, sending an email on the computer with a decent keyboard, (or writing this response) is far faster and easier using a decent computer with a proper keyboard.
The freakonomics of smut: Does it actually cause rape?
What we need is our rightful freedom to make our OWN choices on this.
The issue is about whether the porn helps cause, or prevent rape. I firmly believe the latter is the case. The evidence is clear enough from countries who have allowed it for decades with hardly any censorship whatsoever. It's been broadcast on TV1000, Filmnet (now Canal+) and many other European satellite and cable channels for nearly 25 years, whilst we in this country have been firmly subject to the pathetic censorship of the ITC and then Ofcom after it, for no justified reason whatsoever in my opinion, other than they dare not allow a more liberal regime, because of the backlash from the politicians or readers of the Daily Mail. Either that, or high profile individuals in these organisations have used their positions, to impose their narrow minded restrictions on what should be available to the rest of us. If the channel is encrypted and has to be deliberately requested, I don't see a problem. In Europe, if you subscribe to most movie channels, then the porn often comes with it. Eleven years ago, back here, the BBFC allowed much more explicit R18 videos to be sold in licensed sex shops, and then the stream of prohibitions on sale of the European dedicated porn channel's smart cards (available to UK subscribers) suddenly stopped with the exception of Extasi which showed violent porn which wouldn't be passed even at BBFC R18. So you can watch it, if you get a "foreign" card, and the equipment along with a dish pointing at a different satellite from the Sky one. IE you have the cash to spare. Ofcom still have the power to proscribe the sale of such "foreign" porn smart cards, but won't because they are scared of a legal showdown given that equivalent R18 material IS allowed, and such material can be FREELY bought via mail order from other countries, (customs no longer sieze R18 equivalent videos and pictures imported from elsewhere) but R18 cannot be not supplied that way from within the country! Despite the lack of proscription orders the past few years, Ofcom will not allow explicit porn on any of "their" licenced channels. Why ever not when they won't/daren't proscribe the foreign ones and be consistent ?
Personally I believe that to be subject to such government mandated censorship, without HONEST justification of harm (and in all the years they've never been able to properly provide that justification) well that is just as insulting, belittling and degrading as any argument of objectification of those women depicted, who are after all, legally free to make their own choice. If for some reason they are not, and are forced into something, well that should be dealt with most severely but as a completely seperate issue.
Incidentally we did not need explicit porn for such objectification of the ladies. Expressions of such as "fancy having to wake up at the side of that!" unpleasant and nasty they are, were used long before hard porn was available anywhere here. In fact any porn to speak of hardley existed years ago. But "Phwoooarr I'd like to xxxx that!" was probably MORE commonly used thirty five years ago than it is nowadays. No one of course mentions the objectification of men, which of course also happens. Overall objectification of this kind has reduced, not increased in the past few years.
But we now increasingly find that the censorship imposed on us all these years might even be harmful as well. To add injury to the insult already imposed by the narrow-minded censoring classes.
I don't think we need "open porn", we just need to allow it to be freely available to those who want it, without them having to feel shame and guilt.
The government's censorship campaign, where online porn is to be turned off, until specifically requested is likely to cause more than a few problems and domestic arguments and strife IMHO. Many people who want it, aren't going to ADMIT to anyone, they want it. even if they DO want it. Censorship needs doing at the computer level, not at the network level. And people should censor their OWN kids, not expect others to do it for them. It is interesting to note that even the Daily Mail readers don't want this for fear of greater censorship once the mechanisms are in place.
This new coalition regime spoke of freedom, and even created a web site, for us to tell them what freedoms we wanted, which they then ignored. It is clear they don't know the meaning of the word, unless it applies to rich bankers and the like.
No, we don't really need "Open Porn" as such. What we do need is the rightful freedom to choose to watch the stuff using the channels and media so freely available to our fellow Europeans and for the government to respect that right. If it wants to restrict it, it should put up (ie show the real harm) or simply SHUT UP.
Prove the harm properly before restricting others please.
Again, there's only a lack of dignity because people seem to make it so by their loud condemnation.
As for sex trafficking, some of the articles on the Melon Farmer's web site and many other places online reveal the truth that it's long been known that the levels of such trafficking are hyper inflated by those with a vested interest in maintaining and perpetuating this myth.
This article asks people to take an honest look at the truth behind this issue. I certainly wish they would do so, because I think some restrictive approaches do far, far more harm than good.
I agree that some prostitution is caused by drug addiction. I believe that would be better solved in trying to deal with the user's addiction and the ridiculously unrealistic drug policies we have in this country, rather than the prohibition of prostitution.
Some people really don't seem to be able to get their heads around the fact that many people really do want to do this kind of thing willingly. The debate really is about pron, and that assertion especially applies to that. In all the consensual pron I've seen, there's little (in fact no) evidence to suggest that people are not involved on their own volition. People should look at the girls. Look at their complexion; look at their hair; look at their teeth; these aren't the kind of features found in girls on heroin or street girls. These are girls involved willingly who discuss their choices openly in many on screen interviews. However let's not let a few true and honest facts get in the way of people's desire for repression of others eh ? I can tell them that many others are completely sick of people with their kind of censorious attitude.
As far as I remember, one of the very few people to complain bitterly about her involvment was Linda Lovelace. One out of many thousands then.
Don't people understand that if pron was so damaging to JUSTIFY the kind of sanctions and censorship that some (a minority IMHO) folk appear to want imposed on others, then it would be OBVIOUS, like the harm of drink driving is OBVIOUS; like the harm of speeding is OBVIOUS; like the harm of smoking is now OBVIOUS; all these things and many more we've learned in the last fifty or so years. But the debate about porn RAGES on and on simply because the harm IS NOT so obvious. People should therefore be free to decide for THEMSELVES how much they involve themselves as participants or viewers of so called "adult" material. Our country is supposed to be a free one. I accept many people take a moral position and that is their right. However it is not their right to try and impose it on everyone else for no justified reason. Especially so, when it seems that MORE harm might actually be PREVENTED rather than caused. But some people will use any flimsy argument to refute that evidence, and even resort to untruths, myths and blatent lies. I've been involved in this debate for twenty years now, and I have not seen any evidence to justify strict censorship or other sanctions. All I've ever seen from those in favour of censorship of this kind, is fake science, myths, lies; undue repression and other tricks. I don't say trafficking doesn't exist at all. I also say that it is completely APPALLING and the full force of the law should apply to those involved in it. But I maintain that the levels have been grossly exaggerated by those who have a vested interest. Even then that's no justification to prohibit those willingly involved. There's also been too many cases of such people FORCED to clean or work as waitresses and all kinds of things but these jobs we don't prohibit because of this do we ?
Just a job, not something to be villified by sanctimonious prigs.
But isn't it exactly this kind of vilification (of those people in the sex industry), by sanctimonious self righteous prigs, that causes them pain and social ostracism in the first place ? If people didn't condemn their work so much, and tried to understand it instead, then the folks doing it would not feel so bad about it. If they do feel bad that is. Many don't.
I don't believe that most of them are forced into anything. Some people are "forced" sweep roads, to clean toilets and the rooms of other people's houses and work places, for very little money not having the chance to consider such a career move either. Some people would genuinely rather work as well paid prostitutes than have to do the job of a impoverished scrubber. Is such a choice really so hard to understand ? I'd rather be sat on a sun drenched beach supping a beer or two every day, than sat in a dreary office trying to earn a crust or two.... Perhaps I'd sell myself if it was worth it, but nobody would want me, especially my gender and at my age :-(
Oracle: 'Google owes $2.6bn in damages'
What is Java based on anyway ?
If Oracle are arguing about its rights to the Java language -
The Java language looks almost identical to C, with bits (such as pointers and structures missing) and classes added which are similar to C Plus Plus.
Are the "C" like syntax constructs prior art ? I think they are.
How much of Java can Oracle own, given that much of it is so "C" like ?
All of it ? '
The few bits of the language which are different ?
The bits which are missing like pointers, #defines and structures ?
Just the added classes (the main difference IMO) which look a little C++ like ?
Can you take complete ownership of something in the public domain, so subtly changed, having removed a few bits from it here, and added a few other bits there whilst leaving it recognisably similar ?

Asperger's: Would you really know that ?
blaming his aspergers is a load of bollocks.
You wouldn't write that if you had a son with Aspergers as I do.
Left in the street more like.
just 'cos you forgot to lock your front door does not give anyone the right to wander in and have a good nose around you stuff!
More like them leaving a bag of stuff lying in the street with a flimpy lock on it, and not expecting anyone to look in it.... The internet is a public space. Anyone wanting a private area within it, must be responsible for the security of that space. Gary's actions might well have been a crime here but with a much lessor penalty. Considering all the facts then he should be tried here. The government should tell the Americans to let it be, or risk damaging relations between the two countries. We are NOT the 51st state of the US, and they are partly to blame because they failed to secure their systems. Even if they were legally and morally correct, there's no doubt that they were asking for trouble if their security was so lax.
Who knows what people might do (look what happened to Sony) if they continue to push this and I would have little sympathy to be honest. Gary was wrong, I don't doubt it. However the US could admit that they weren't entirely blameless because of their lack of security.
The US are embarrased that's all, but someone has to pay the price.
In my opinion, the US government was deeply embarrased by their lack of security.
I too am unaware that Gary caused any real damage, apart from making the US government look complete fools. For that they seem to want him to pay a heavy (and unacceptable IMHO) price.
Behind Apple's record sales are signs of desperation
Apple's products or the baggage that comes with them ?
"can't tell the difference between a Samsung & an Apple phone."
I can tell the difference between a HTC desire HD phone and an Apple 3GS phone though.
I've had both (and a 3G before that) and the HTC Droid wins hands down for me. Oh and er, I don't have to have the permission of Apple to run certain software on MY phone, or browse Flash based web sites or certain emulator programs which might use MY battery and electricty up a little faster.
In my opinion some people including myself are fed up with Apple, because:
1: They paid top wack for an Apple product which is then treated for all the world as if Apple still owns the wretched thing. At least that's how I felt.
2: Apple won't allow/implement standard connections such as memory cards and usb ports and other devices on their iPhone/iPad hardware
3: Everything has to go through that infernal iTunes software, (which I completely detest) which is almost impossible to understand for a first time PC user as the interfaces so Apple like (on a PC), rather than using standard Windows gadgets understood by Windows users. I am amazed how many none computer literate people have iPhones. However all those I have asked tell me that they needed a lot of help to get started with iTunes, often from the kid next door. Even I had to ask my son how to get my music on the things and I've been programming for 25 years!!!
I don't doubt that Apple hardware is superb. It's everything else which goes with it, that irritates me.
I'd like an Apple iPad with external (micro)SD card slot, USB connecter and Android Honeycomb installed on it please. Now that would be something and could sell in vast quantities. I'd have had one already I think.
Otherwise for me, the higher end Android phones/tablets win hands down.
'Porn lock' heralds death of WikiLeaks, internet, democracy, universe
Who really wants this ?
It's clear by the comments here, and on the Daily Mail web site, that hardly anyone wants this.
As for the government, they'd do well to remember that *we* are supposed to be the masters, not them, and to consider what happened to John Major after "Back to Basics".
There could well be a censored feed made available to the ladies of "SaferMedia", and their ilk but would they pay the cost of it ? NO they think WE should pay, even though there are perfectly good solutions out there.
My solution for my (now 17 and 19) children (when they were younger) was to install VNC on their machines, so their mother and I could randomly remotely look in to see what they were up to. If they disabled it, they would face instant disconnection. They knew too, we could look at their cache and history etc.
We never had a problem but we were alwayts honst with them. They knew when we were looking as the VNC icon turned black on their computer.
If you don't understand all this stuff, either learn, or keep the family compute where you can see it!

Pietrosanti is certainly correct to say that researchers are normally keen to be identified with their testing, something 'Notrax' has avoided doing so far.
I do not currently know if anyone within SecurStar did this or not We are in the UK and quite "divorced" from other German parent company activities such as PhoneCrypt which we have had no involvment in whatsoever..
No doubt I will get to know. Having said that, if a flaw has been exposed in a competitors software, then surely it will now get fixed ? It WILL get fixed won't it ? Would it have got fixed before ?
I do know that Wilfried Hafner is passionate about security, and IS a gifted hacker. After nine years working for this company, (nine wonderful and happy years I might add) I never cease to be amazed when he refutes some of my own ideas, regarding things we should do with the software we develop, or the bugs he has found in the past. If he indeed did find the Phone encryption security problem and he went public with it, under the company banner what would people think then ? Would it be worse still ? Should he have just kept completely quiet ? It is certainly not his voice in the Notrax video (which I have now seen) that's for sure.
What really needs to happen FIRST of all, is that the companies concerned need to review the assertions made, and if necessary address the flaws in the software, however they've been identified.
In any case. personally if there was a serious issue with our software, then I would *expect* competitors to try and make some milage from it. At the end of the day, isn't that what business is all about ? It's one of the reasons I am not a business man and never could be I am simply not 'hard nosed' enough.
In the longer term, I am sure their products will be fixed, and that can ONLY be to the advantage of their customers however the flaws were revealed. The authors of the software concerned should make it a priority to fix the problems instead of bleating on how horrible the company is. If indeed the company is at all responsible.
Perhaps Wilfried did try and make some milage out of these flaws I honestly do not know. He is a good hacker and has often found issues of this kind. BUT he is, at the end of the day, a business man as well.
Now, ask me about my iPhones, (3g and 3Gs) my 09 reg Ford C-Max car with Sony CD/Radio and USB connection, and how neither iphone works anymore with the car's USB port.. On the older iphone I could play the tracks back via the console, until OS 3 was installed. The thing won't even recognise the 3Gs phone at all.
Ask me who, of the four companies concerned (including the garage) really even cares about my problem, instead of just playing pass the parcel instead of helping me get it sorted. That's bad and horrible practice as well, but we consumers simply have to put up with it.

Case Studies In Treating Chronic Plantar Fasciitis
Given the common presentation of plantar fasciitis, the variety of etiologies and at times concurrent conditions, this author reviews four illuminating patient cases, emphasizing pertinent diagnostic pointers and keys to effective treatment.
Plantar fasciitis, aka plantar fasciopathy, is one of the most common lower extremity complaints. It is estimated that 20 percent of the general population will experience some type of plantar heel pain at some point in their lives and 2 million are treated annually for plantar fasciitis in the United States alone.1-6
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common complaints in runners. Classic symptoms include pain with the first steps in the morning and after rest (poststatic dyskinesia). The pain usually dissipates with activity. Chronic plantar fasciitis/fasciosis can be debilitating. Reports suggest that over 90 percent of these types of cases resolve by 12 months. However, this is difficult to accurately report due to the fact that patients may seek treatment from many providers.1,3,5,6 Unless follow-up assessments occur at 12 or more months after onset by the same provider, this may only be conjecture. Most studies on non-operative treatments for plantar fasciitis only evaluate patients for symptoms up to one year or less, and do not report on the activity level (or the need for cessation).
In addition to "classic" plantar fasciitis, other conditions such as calcaneal stress fractures and periostitis, plantar fascia and muscle ruptures, and local nerve entrapment can occur.
Accordingly, let us take a closer look at four unique cases of plantar fasciopathy that I have encountered in my office in the last three years.
When Conservative Care, Shockwave Therapy And An In-Step Plantar Fasciotomy Fail To Get Results
The first patient is a 45-year-old female who presented in 2011 with heel pain bilaterally but much worse pain in the right foot. The patient noted the pain was worse with her first steps in the morning and she was unable to perform her normal physical activities including martial arts and running without pain.
In 2004, the patient underwent tarsal tunnel releases and plantar fasciotomies bilaterally. These procedures were extremely successful and she remained pain-free until 2010. Other than those procedures, her past medical history was non-contributory. She was not taking any medications and had no known drug allergies. The patient had rigid custom orthotic devices, which she found uncomfortable partly due to the fact that the devices put pressure on the surgical scars.
The physical examination revealed a flexible pes planus foot type and 0 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion. The patient had pain with palpation of the plantar medial calcaneal tubercle of the right foot. The Tinel's sign was negative bilaterally.
Over the first six months of treatment, the patient had two cortisone injections, received new, more flexible custom orthotic devices and diligently emphasized stretching, icing and utilization of a night splint with no success. At this point, I turned to shockwave therapy and performed three treatments with the D-Actor 200 (Storz Medical) at 12.0 Hz with 2,000 shocks ranging between 3.0-3.4 bar. Six weeks after shockwave therapy, the patient did not note any improvement.

Amazon Policies Changing?
- Posted by Johanna on August 31, 2008 at 12:18 pm
- Category: Meta
I love shopping from Amazon.com, and I use their ads and links on this site to get a percentage commission. But this weekend, over the US holiday, two policy changes are being discussed that suggest there's a new era coming at the large online retailer.
First, some customers have reported getting "we aren't going to sell to you from now on" letters. The general message is that due to the number of returns, they aren't allowed to be customers any more.
In the normal course of business, the occasional problem is inevitable. The rate at which such problems have occurred on your account is extraordinary, however, and cannot continue. Effective immediately, your Amazon.com account is closed and you are no longer able to shop in our store.
The letter goes on to say that new accounts will also be shut down if they can be linked to the customer. Later discussions suggest that those targeted also had other issues with their accounts, like the shipping and billing addresses not matching and the involvement of high-ticket items.
More important to me, Amazon seems to have removed its post-purchase price matching. The information also no longer appears on its pricing help page, in contrast to what the page displayed in January of this year, shown below (courtesy archive.org).
I loved this feature. It was great whenever a book or DVD was reduced in price by several dollars after I bought it — it kept me feeling like a valued customer instead of someone who got rooked. For instance, I wound up saving over $20 on my purchase of the Marvel Vault because over a month, Amazon.com just kept dropping the price.
Now, if they really are no longer doing that price match, I'll be much less likely to buy from them as easily. Instead, I'll do a lot more research and check out competitors to be sure I'm really getting a good deal. And I'll be more likely to put off purchases just in case the price continues to drop.
I suspect that automated sites like PriceProtectr that watched for drops and notified the customer without them having to do any manual work may have affected this decision.

August 31, 2008 at 3:45 PMThey've also stopped accepting checks. And while that isn't going to bother the majority of customers, it means they've lost my business. I really don't want them taking the money directly from my checking – old prejudice on my part.
With the price of gas and the lack of bookstores in my immediate area, Amazon was getting the majority of my book business. Guess I'll have to find somewhere else to shop now.
- Greg McElhatton Says:
August 31, 2008 at 11:34 PMI just checked two different objects (Animal Crossing for the Wii, and the Essential Dykes to Watch Out For) and they both were offering the Pre-Order Price Guarantee. Is it still not showing up for you?
And I must say that for people who are scamming Amazon (as others in that SlickDeals thread note, like people who were clearly ordering and then returning things for Pepsi promotion points for instance) it doesn't bother me that their accounts were shut down. They're hardly the only ones to do that, too. Someone I used to know was banned chain-wide from returning anything to Barnes and Noble, because after he was fired from his position managing a local comic store, he started "returning" trade paperbacks left and right to get store credit for new things. So now he's on the "do not allow to return" list.
- Johanna Says:
September 1, 2008 at 8:02 AMNot pre, post, Greg. With the post-order price guarantee, if they dropped the price within 30 days of your purchase, they'd refund you the difference upon request. The pre-order guarantee is still there.
- Pedro Tejeda Says:
September 1, 2008 at 11:15 AMThey recently started charging New York sales tax which my local store doesn't on books and trades. My store gives me 20% off on trades opening weekend so at this point, Amazon is maybe 3 to 4 percent cheaper. Even with Amazon Prime, at this point, it just seems totally worth it to buy comics locally.
- Greg McElhatton Says:
September 1, 2008 at 1:12 PMAhhh, gotcha. I'd only ever saved money with the post-order guarantee once so I'd mentally inserted pre-order into its place. (With which I have gotten some good savings in the past.)
- Johanna Says:
September 1, 2008 at 2:09 PMPedro: Yeah, that's an interesting side effect, isn't it? If deals get too good for the customer in one location, it seems like the company backs off instead of other companies stepping up to match. Ah, capitalism.
Greg: Funny, I've never used the pre-order. Experiences do differ.
- Mark S. Says:
September 2, 2008 at 9:20 AMThe thing they are still doing, and what is probably driving some of this is free shipping for orders $25 and over.
My experience has caused me to hold off until I had $25 worth of stuff before I ordered, so I didn't have to pay the S&H. What with gas prices and such, in order for them to stay viable and make money, they had to make some changes.
Would you rather they do away with the free S&H for orders over $25 or some of these?
- Johanna Says:
September 2, 2008 at 12:25 PMI'd rather they keep offering the same high level of service I've come to expect from them. Free shipping is a necessity when their prices are only a dollar cheaper than Best Buy.

I am collecting information on the Beauregard's and Long's of Iowa and surrounding areas. We are decendants of Joseph Jarret de Beauregard brother of Andre Jarret lord de Beauregard. Joseph was baptised 1690? in Vercheres. My Great Grandfather was Edouard Beauregard son of Michel and Sophie Rousseau, who was born on July 8, 1860 and died October 1931 but who and when he married has conflicting information. My Grandfather was Alden Paul Beauregard born October 11, 1894 and died August 11, 1970 he married Faye Albina Long, daughter of Ezra Long and Iowa Mae Hill, born on February 15, 1896 and died May 31, 1957. They had four sons, Leonard, Wayne, Darrell and Kenneth. Kenneth is my father, born on March 13, 1934. He married my mother, Betty Anne Phillips, daughter of Douglas King and Phyllis Ernestine Phelps, on March 15, 1952. They have five children, Twins; Robert Owen and Russell Lee, Mark Douglas, Diane K(me), and David Paul Beauregard. If anyone has any more information on Edouard I would be very interested in the facts that you have so I can then match them up with the facts I have. |

New York City's 2011 Fall Fashion Week drew in fashionistas and high-profile designers from all around the world, wowing audiences with 60's-inspired threads, tiered floral silk dresses, wild graphic prints and polished layered looks. And with such definitive fashion comes equally bold makeup looks. From the ever-popular smoky eyes, to intensely lined eyes and brightly pigmented lips, these makeup looks can help any woman command attention. Unfortunately, they're far too dramatic and intense for your everyday look and are more befitting for parties and nights out on the town. So here are some tips on how to translate these high fashion makeup looks into more practical daily wear that anyone can pull off.
Smoky Eyes
Sultry smoky eyes can be softened up with lighter hues for subtle sexiness and a look that's less intense. Famed makeup artist, Napoleon Perdis, whose ultimate goal in developing his cosmetics line was to turn runway into reality for the average woman, suggests using colors like gray and taupe as alternatives for the smoldering look.
1. Start by framing your eyes with mascara on the top and lower lashes. Perdis recommends his Mesmer-Eyes Mascara "made with TLC– thickening, lengthening and curling properties."
2. Next, use a shimmering nude on the eyelids, and smudge a gray hue close to the lashes. This sort of application is a lot easier since you don't have to blend as much.
3. Line the eyes with a black liner, such as China Doll Gel Eyeliner in Equinox by Napoleon Perdis.
Perfect Pout
To offset the darker shades used on the eyes, Perdis suggests using a creamy nude color with pink undertones on the lips.
Finish off by sweeping pink blush lightly across the cheekbones to balance the look.

Blake Nelson does an incredible job capturing the voice of his heroine and I was transported back to 15.

Before I did any listening, I exercised the woofer for a few hours, and let it normalize again overnight. This isn't a compulsory step, because in your car the woofer will obviously break-in as it's used for the first few days or weeks, but here in the test lab, we do everything we can to maintain consistent and accurate results, so we exercise all speakers before doing any evaluations. Because I had the opportunity at CES to listen to the man who engineered the woofer, I knew that the Hertz SX 300D would be best suited to a smaller size vented enclosure. It was a good thing too, because while the owner's manual will show you how to configure the jumpers and wire up a dozen or so woofers, it mysteriously gives no recommendations whatsoever for an enclosure size or type.
The smallest vented box I had on hand was 1.25 cubic feet, so I figured we'd give it a go in that. After selecting a series wiring configuration for a final impedance of 4 ohms, and mounting the woofer in the enclosure I set the amplifier crossover to 100Hz, with a -24dB per octave slope.
Frequent readers of my speaker reviews know that my musical tastes are pretty diverse, and I'd picked out some different tracks to test the mettle of the Hertz woofer. Because this is a woofer designed to play low and loud, I began with a track from Yello's Essential CD, "Oh Yeah". The hype about this woofer playing low and loud is no joke, and that track proved it. Moving on to a few other favorite bass SPL tracks from Bass Mekanik and others, I was convinced that the SX 300D would definitely play loud, and handle a lot of power.
But let's not forget that its alternative claim to fame was also supposed to be good sound quality, so I switched musical gears and broke out my audiophile tracks. I listened to a bunch of material from DMP, Chesky, and Sheffield Labs. Once again, the woofer pretty much lived up to the story I'd heard at the show, and in fact it did sound pretty darned good for a subwoofer designed for SPL. The SX 300D had tight, fairly well-controlled bass with a lot of punch and impact. It had a touch of ringing that maybe wouldn't be there in a more compliant design, but then again it's that stiff suspension that allows it to handle the 800+ watts I fed it with no complaints whatsoever. And thanks, at least in part, to the intelligent use of a paper cone, subtleties like resonances from plucked strings, and augmented chords were easily reproduced too. Make no mistake, this woofers primary focus is to play low and loud, but when the mood strikes, it's a pretty decent compromise for the sound quality crowd too.
Measured Performance
With my listening completed, I brought the woofer into the test lab and made some measurements. As I expected, the published parameters for the woofer are very close to what I measured, and the in-box curves also came out pretty much as expected. As you can see from the SPL graph, this is a subwoofer that can really get the job done.
The Hertz SX300D woofer sort of reminds me of a 1960's muscle car. Somewhat like my old '70 Hemi Roadrunner, all most people had to do was see the Hemi badge, and they knew what they were up against. Like that car, the SPL Show series of subwoofers are not for the faint of heart or those who are timid about their sound. Just like my Hemi, all you need to do is crank it up one time, and anyone within earshot will know you're serious! And while no subwoofer can satisfy every single purpose or customer, this one is purposefully made for anyone who appreciates loud, deep, authoritative bass in their car. But unlike some other woofers that were designed and restricted with a focus on SPL contests, you can actually play real music with this impressive subwoofer, and enjoy its sound quality performance too.

Ydin: Silvottuna ja häpäistynä
09/10/06 || Lord K Philipson
A demo in fucken Finnish? I have a bad feeling about this crap… But, whaddya know, Ydin's brutality (yeah, we are talking death metal here) is actually quite good. Silly names aside ("Punishment" is doing vocals and "P. Massacre" handles the drums?! Hellooooooo?!), Ydin is quite possibly one of the better bands I have heard, death metal wise, out of Finland. Not that it says alot, but hey…
While not being the tightest around and sporting a very irritating and triggered bass kick, their material is somewhat strong most of the time. I wouldn't say that they pull of their grind parts that well though. Mr. Massacre is not fully experienced in that area just yet it seems, but he obviously has got some other drumming qualities. The vocals is another story though… While sporting a decent growl, Punishment sometimes enters semi-pig mode (among other styles), and that's not something I'm ejaculating over. Stick to the growls, man. Listen to me. After all – I rule.
I don't know what it is with this band, but for some reason I take quite a liking in them. They have some playful arrangements and they have a tendency to groove sometimes, even though the material isn't all that groovy… Makes sense, huh? Finns aren't exactly famous for making a hella lot of sense. Nightwish ring a bell?
Either way… This is a good demo for sure and I definitely recommend Ydin to anyone who's into brutal death metal with a small touch of grind.
I have to add that this CDR's got some multimedia on it, but for some fucken reason I couldn't watch that, which is a shame since I definitely wanted to hear some more of these guys.

Sober1- The girl ran away from home while in high school - its not like she didn't know. She is now RUNNING a ring of her own that included 2 adult women and a minor. They were here for just a brief period of time. In the ORIGINAL article several weeks ago it was pointed out that they don't know the extent of the problem because NC was ESTIMATED to be the 8th worst state for sex trafficking. That estimate was based upon a numeric study that said we had major highways and several military bases in state - nothing more. No hard numbers No studies done to determine the scope of the problem.
Just estimates. Now Hamilton and Goolsby want to throw money at it to make themselves feel good. Money for counselling, rehabilitation, and halfway houses where they can be fed. I raised 3 girls and I am adamantly opposed to prostitution, sex trafficking and violence against women. But I'll be damned if I want my Rep to throw $ at a problem that they have such a lack of information on.

Connors' Smith Earns National Gold
From the national blue and gold stage to the dirt-filled collegiate arena, Adair, Okla., native Wyatt Smith has proven successful in his judging endeavors this fall. A freshman on the Connors State College livestock judging team, Smith took first place individually in the horse evaluation competition at the 86th Annual National FFA Convention, held in Louisville, Ky.Â
"I was excited when they called my name on stage at National FFA Convention," said Smith. "All my hard work and dedication finally paid off."
The National FFA Horse Evaluation CDE is a competitive event that tests the student's ability to select and evaluate horses. Event components include eight selection classes that consisted of four halter classes and four performance classes. Students also give four sets of oral reasons with two sets coming from each evaluation class. Teams also work together to complete practical activities and a team presentation.
"We are proud of Wyatt for his accomplishments on the national level," said CSC President, Dr. Tim Faltyn. "Given his hard work in the arena thus far, I look forward to his successes here at Connors."
In addition to his individual honors, Smith led his Adair FFA teammates to first place in the team competition. For his achievements, Smith was awarded two $1,000 cash scholarships.Â
The 18-year-old pre-vet major is a member of the CSC Aggie Club and the Baptist Collegiate Ministries. He is the son of Darrell and Quannah Smith.

Comments about M12 12V Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver:
I Love this drill. My only complaint is tht eventually the chuck seemed to loose it ability to stay tight, I would have to reverse the chuck then run it closed to tighten repeatedly to keep the bit from slipping.
Best Uses
Comments about M12 12V Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver:
Got tired of the space and weight of an 18V drill/driver in my tool bag. The smaller, lighter 12V does everything I have thrown at it: screwing and drilling wood, drilling metal plate, etc. For heavier jobs I still have the 18V, but the 12V is my everyday carry. Feels good in the hand.
Best Uses
Comments about M12 12V Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver:
Great for everyday repairs around the house. Ideal for someone like me that doesn't need a contractor size driver drill, but tired of corded types. A pleasure to use! A great value refurbished. And always wanted a Milwaukee...
Best Uses
Comments about M12 12V Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver:
This a great all around drill. 2 speed gear drive for when you need more torque for heavy jobs. Long battery life, with a quick charger. I like how the drive locks when the trigger is released so that you can open/close the chuck readily. My only complaint is the drill chuck is not up to the quality of the rest of the drill and it won't hold small (1/16" or less bits).
I've purchased several of these without problem. Unfortunately on this particular order for a re-conditioned drill, it was dead out of the box. CPO however, replaced immediately with a different one that was fine.

Comments about M12 12V Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver:

get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
What are the differences (if any) between the Milwaukee 2410-20, 2410-22, and 2410-82 M12 cordless drills?2 answers
All three of the model number are the same tool. The difference between them is:A:
Comparing the features of the three M12 models mentioned, it seems that with the Milwaukee 2410-20, the battery and charger are sold separately. The 2410-22 and 2410-82 models both include a 12V Cordless M12 3/8-in Drill/Driver, (2) 12V M12 Lithium-Ion Batteries, 30-Minute Charger and a carrying case, however, the 2410-82 is factory reconditioned.Q:
Where is this tool made?1 answer
According to the Milwaukee website, their tools are made globally. It is speculation, but many bloggers believe their tools are now made in either Japan or China.Q:
My husband requested this for Christmas, but you do not say where it is manufactured. So is it made in China?1 answer
Like many power tools sold in USA, this Milwaukee drill is in Made in China. Other Milwaukee tools have been or are manufactured in Czech Republic, Poland, China, Southeast Asia, and even Switzerland. As an international brand, Milwaukee has an office and factory in USA, also.Q:
Is the drill reversible?2 answers
No, this drill is not reversible.A:
The respondent who stated "no" is wrong. This drill is, indeed, fully reversible. You can read the instruction PDF to verify this fact.Q:
Does this tool come with standard LI or the better Red LI batteries?1 answer
It comes with 2 M12 lithium ion batteries, which are better grade.Q:
Can I order a holster for this drill and if so what is the part number. Do you have it available.1 answer
Yes, their are 2 holsters. One is the Milwaukee 2335-20, the other is the Pro-Fit DCS-0200001.

steve from Phoenix, AZ
Installation was easy, features were user friendly and DvD quality was par. However, the screen is huge and actually has some weight to it, even after I convinced myself it wasn't going to snap off the face of the unit and slide under the seat i still had to deal with lugging that thing around everytime i parked my car. That aside, about 2 weeks after I installed it, I started noticing small quirks in the screen, first i couldnt adjust the time setting to stop telling me in 24hr mode, then it started getting sick of my taste in music and decided to scan through the entire FM band whenever it saw fit, soon after that the screen went completely white and it then decided to automatically open up whenever it felt like it... So, if Boss ever puts some testing into their products, perhaps they'll put out something better next go round, but for now I think they're seriously lacking in quality.

An advert by Oracle claiming that Exadata is better than Teradata has caused the latter company to explode in anger and put slated performance benefits down to Intel rather than clever software.
A Teradata blog lashes out at Oracle, even though it says that it's flattered by the attention.
"It's also entirely specious – and if you're concerned that the philosophical parts of this post will either bore you, or represent a pointless exercise in self-justification, then feel free to skip straight to the penultimate section of this essay in order to cut straight to the chase," the bog says.
The advert in question mentions a Japanese company, which Teradata's bog says is Softbank.
"So is it true? Did Softbank Mobile (the company described in the advert and referenced elsewhere in Oracle's marketing literature) really migrate from Teradata to Exadata - and see improved performance, plus a reduction in data centre space, power and cooling requirements into the bargain?
"Yes. All true, just as Oracle says it is," the bog continues. It explains this by saying that Softbank's existing Teradata system was obsolete. It claims that the improved performance was down to Intel, "not any advance in Oracle's software technology".
Teradata concludes by saying the Softbank design win came in 2009, and it's surprised that Oracle keeps repeating the story two years on.
There's more of the unseemly scrap, here.
Teradata takes a pop at Oracle's Exadata

Only because that's the only win Exadata has to date.
We don't do angry - and it's a "blog", not a "bog"... :-)
Seemed pretty angry to me, Martin. Especially the use of the word "specious".....
"Specious" is just a fancy way of saying "misleading". I stand by that remark - and I'm still smiling... :-)
The email of the specious is deadlier than the gmail
Why there is not TDC share listed ?
@Ike - we didn't have the company in our database. I've added that in now.

Hi all,
Rachelspet - Nice work!! How long did it take to make the whole thing?
Your own design?
Do you have anymore pics of your creations you could share with us?
Once again, Nice work,
PS - your patterns on it's way.
All in all, with pattern tweaking and stuff, it took about 50 hours or so (I'm guessing).
It's loosely based on a Simplicity pattern that caught my wife's eye (they never look at the simple stuff, do they), but obviously the pattern had to be heavily modified to work with latex.
As far as other pics go, as soon as I can I'll post pics of the catsuit I mentioned earlier in this thread. That's about the only other big piece I've done so far, the rest has been hoods and shirts and stuff.
Rachal's Pet, you did a superb piece of work. I guess that is Rachal wearing the dress!
Stretch6 (PhD, retired analytical/organic chemist)
By the way, there are now pics of the dress in the allfetishes gallery under my name. I'll try to add pics of the catsuit soon and anything else I get made in a timely manner. And yes, that is my wife Rachal.
Hi there,
I am new here, what a great site and fantastic source of information, I wish I ahd found out about this earlier as I ahd to learn about latex clothing construction by trial and error.
Anyway here is a picture of my first latex outfit a pleated hem pencil skirt and ruffle bra top in pearlsheen purple.
Hope to chat with some of you real soon.
Hi Sadie,Originally spoken by Lydia
welcome to the IAR. You obviously found out what you needed to know as your skirt and top are fabulous. Looking forward to chatting.
STEFFY :ca:
STEFFY :ca: Rubber Doll and latex fashion lover
Hi Sadie , welcome to the clan. 'Trial and error' ? That looks fantastic . Where is the error , it looks perfect . What glue do you use ? There are big discussions at times about glue and construction methods . What's the next project ?
Hi all,
Lydia - I agree with everyone,great stuff. For your first outfit thats amazing! Trial and error certainly worked for you, it took me quite af ew attempts to get the techniques right and come up with an acceptable garment.
Purple pearlsheen is lovely stuff isnt it. My first purchase of latex sheet was purple pearlsheen, I made a vest and pair of leggings from it.
Be sure to keep us up to date with your creations,
It looks pretty good, and wellcome aboard.
Of course, the ultimate test for a piece of clothing is seeing how it looks when worn, but only posts pics of that if you feel comfortable doing so.

Amazon Store Design: eBusinessCables
Recently Luxor was tasked with a complete Website redesign and transfer to the Amazon Webstore eCommerce selling platform for client eBusinessCables.
The Amazon Webstore design project involved a complete redesign of the sellers previous Website and new design built upon the superior Webstore platform with such new features as customer reviews, promotions control panel, combined inventory with Selling on Amazon, ability for customers to checkout using their Amazon.com account shipping and payment information. This Webstore also features Fulfillment by Amazon on most Webstore inventory which allows for an almost automated process to where Amazon handles the payments and shipping of inventory for the seller.
The client was already a "Selling on Amazon" eCommerce seller, so Luxor was able to migrate the clients Selling on Amazon inventory into the Webstore system with little difficulty. eCommerce sellers considering a Webstore design who are already Selling on Amazon should note that the Webstore allows for almost seamless migration of that existing inventory and is an excellent solution for retailers already Selling on Amazon.

Today we could see some light isolated showers mainly this morning and confined to the coast, mountains and potentially in Douglas county, but a few spots in the valley could see some snow flurries this morning. This afternoon we'll see decreasing clouds and increasing winds as a disturbance slides into the area but I think we'll stay dry for the most part. Winds will not be nearly as windy as yesterday though, highest gusts will be 25-35 mph rather than the 62 mph wind gust we saw in Summer Lake yesterday and 73 at Squaw Peak!
Heading into the weekend we'll see more sunshine and a gradual warming trend, in the afternoon, but with fewer clouds in the overnight we'll see temperatures drop quickly once the sun sets. Our high's will warm back to normal by the end of the weekend with another storm coming in late Tuesday bringing showers to the area. This storm does not appear to be a significant rain or wind maker. Southern Oregon is in need of more precipitation for the water year; the National Weather Service found that 2013 is the second driest year on record so far for most local locations and for some it's the driest! Crater Lake's snow depth is only 65% of normal. April looks to be another relatively dry month and this could mean an early start to the fire season.
