- I tihnk I understand this enough now to propose a 'proper' solution;
unfortunately, it's not especially simple.
The *simple* solution is to always write to the X CLIPBOARD selection at
the same time as writing to the PRIMARY one (as is currently done). That
requires X11/Xmu/Atoms.h to be included in the relevant file, two calls to
claim the selection where there's currently one and for vi mto be linked
with -lXmu.
That solution ought also to check both upon pasting, but it becomes
non-trivial then (i.e., I don't know enough to do it!). You'd probably
need to check for Xmu in configure as well.
This way solbes most communication issues, but I don't think it's
The trickier, more correct way, would be to map "* to the CLIPBOARD
selection completely *instead* of the PRIMARY selection - this basically
makes the "clipboard" definition of "* correct.
But the tricky bit is then to claim & set the PRIMARY selection to that
that vim thinks *is* selected (i.e., VISUAL/SELECT mode). The reason I
think that might be a bit tricky is because I don't think that that area
of text exists in a separate section in the same way as the section of
text held in the "* register is, so it'd be difficult to keep track of it
as far as informing X is concerned - I may be wrong.
The current options to allow automatic setting of the CLIPBOARD (i.e.,
"* register) upon a selection (by key/mouse/etc.) would still be valid and
All this really does is export vim's concept of the highlighted section
of text to X (as PRIMARY) as well as vim's CLIPBOARD.
This method also, however, requires a two-phase 'paste' - use PRIMARY if
available, else use CLIPBOARD.
The use of X11's permanent stores, CUT_BUFFERn, I think, ought to be
tackled as a separate issue, if at all, since now I understand it, they're
not really relevant; only xterm seems to use them.
It might be a noce idea, as someone suggested, to have an X-only option
to map registers a-h to CUT_BUFFER0-7, but I'm not really certain how much
use that really would be in practise (really only for people with
over-complicated xterm cut'n'paste (!) and vims in different xterms on
different machines to talk to each other in complex ways).
So. Any takers? :-)

Special Correspondent
AHMEDABAD: Muslims displaced by the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat have demanded a special economic package from the Central Government to help them return home.
Some 3,000 Muslims, gathered at the Gujarat Vidyapith here on Thursday, claimed to represent some 5,000 families with about 23,000 people displaced from their homes during the riots and were still living away from their homes.
They represented their cases before a panel, complaining about lack of facilities from the BJP Government in the State and formed an organisation, "Antarik Visthapit Hak Rakshak Samiti," to carry forward their struggle for justice.
Among those present in the panel were Sayeda Hamid, a member of the Planning Commission, Dilip Padgaonkar, journalist and member of the National Minority Commission, P.J. Namboothiri, a retired IPS officer of the Gujarat cadre, and R. A. Mehta, retired judge of the Gujarat High Court.
A three-point charter of demands presented by the displaced Muslims said they demanded "recognition as citizens of India with basic rights to life with dignity and livelihood."
They demanded basic amenities in the rehabilitation camps.

PoliticsSA deputy president jeered at Marikana probe Protesters in Pretoria accuse Cyril Ramaphosa of having "blood on his hands" over his role in 2012 mining massacre. 11 Aug 2014 19:46 GMT | Politics, Africa, South Africa Protesters chanting "Blood on his hands" briefly halted South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa's evidence at an inquiry into the police shooting of 34 striking mine workers in Marikana two years ago.Retired judge Ian Farlam, who is leading the investigation, halted the inquiry for several minutes on Monday until the crowd, in a public gallery overlooking a conference hall Pretoria, calmed down.Ramaphosa was a non-executive director at Lonmin when negotiations to halt a violent strike at its Marikana platinum mine ended in police shooting the strikers dead on August 16, 2012.The killings, the deadliest security action since the end of apartheid in 1994, have become known as the 'Marikana massacre'. Trade unionist-turned-billionaire Ramaphosa, seen as the likely eventual successor to President Jacob Zuma, is the mostprominent witness to be called by the inquiry that began in October 2012 and was supposed to last four months.As well as investigating the shootings, the commission has a remit to look into labour relations, pay andaccommodation in South Africa's mines - issues seen as spurring the strike that preceded the killings and that have lingered through months of strikes again this year.Ramaphosa, who led a historic strike for fairer pay for black miners under apartheid in 1987, has faced accusations ofputting political pressure on the police to use force against striking miners before the shooting.One protester shouted "Liar!" at Ramaphosa as he answered questions about his time at Lonmin, before more than a dozen people wearing T-shirts denigrating US-style capitalism began chanting: "Blood on his hands."Ramaphosa told the inquiry his intervention was intended to prevent further loss of life, after at least nine people hadbeen killed in the days before the police shooting, including two police officers and Lonmin security guards.'Duty bound' "With a grave situation unfolding at the mine, I felt duty bound to help. To prevent further loss of life," Ramaphosa said,explaining why he made contact with Lonmin leadership and cabinet members.The inquiry's questioning was focusing on emails sent on August 15, 2012, a day before the police shooting, betweenRamaphosa and Lonmin's chief commercial officer Albert Jamieson.In one email, Ramaphosa said "concomitant action" was needed to address "dastardly criminal" actions by wildcat strikers, adding that he would contact government ministers.In an email later that day, he said then-Mining Minister Susan Shabangu would be briefing Zuma and would "get the minister of police, Nathi Mthetwa, to act in a more pointed way".Ramaphosa told the committee he meant the police should protect lives and arrest miners who had committed crimes but said he did not direct anyone to take specific action. The former trade unionist left his position at Lonmin in January last year, shortly after becoming deputy president of the ruling African National Congress. No one has been prosecuted over the Marikana shooting.Source: Agencies

Intel Ivy Bridge Desktop Processor Charted
An interesting table surfaced on the web, displaying a complete picture of what Intel's upcoming 22 nm Core "Ivy Bridge" desktop (2012 Core Processor Family) looks like. Overclockers.ru compiled model names, extensions, clock speeds, Turbo Boost speeds, L3 cache sizes, and TDP ratings of as many as 18 models, most of which are quad-core.
Most clock speeds are similar to today's Sandy Bridge LGA1155 processor models, some have Turbo Boost speeds as high as 3.90 GHz. Since Ivy Bridge silicon is an optical shrink of Sandy Bridge LGA1155, from 32 nm to 22 nm, and since Intel is using a more energy-efficient transistor design, there are significant improvements in TDP ratings.

In honor of San-Diego Comic Con, here are the five worst comic related music videos
San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing this weekend, with nerds, dorks and geeks combining forces to create a Mecca of awesome in California. While we're stuck at home twiddling our thumbs and reading, ahem, books, we found our minds returning to comics no matter what we did. So, in honor of this momentous occasion (SDCC, not the twiddling of our thumbs), we bring you a list of the absolute worst comic related music videos we know.
05. Entombed - "Wolverine Blues"We really don't have a whole lot to add to this particular video other than a question: do you think they got official Marvel licensing for this? We're guessing not. Anyway, if you'll excuse us we're going to go head bang to a picture of Wolverine in our parent's house now.
04. Prince - "Batdance"Ever since Prince decided the Internet was dead, it's been a pain in the rumpus to find his content anywhere. Thankfully, some crazy French website is hosting this absolutely horrendous video for "Batdance." Look Prince, we love you and all -- but what the hell is this?
03. Will Smith - "Men in Black"What, you didn't know Men in Black was based on a comic book? That's too bad, because while you were thinking about that little factoid Will Smith's earworm just embedded itself in your skull. Enjoy the rest of your day while you wander around humming the tune from Men in Black.
02. Vanilla Ice - "Ninja Rap"To be honest, this list wouldn't have existed without this video -- it was the first thing we thought of when we thought of the words "comic book" and "music video." The best part about the whole thing is the behind-the-scenes part; we had no idea Vanilla Ice wanted to keep the "Ninja Rap" so "ice," we had no idea at all.
01. Luscious C and DJ Fist - "Watch It"You'll likely notice the VHS lines in this one right off the bat -- as if the music and clothes don't date it well enough. Either way, this is a nice combination of the stupidest song we could track down and the stupidest video. Enjoy!

MIAMI—Melia Hotels International debuts its first property in the U.S. from its luxury brand, ME by Melia, with the spring 2015 opening of ME Miami. This new Bayfront property marks the brand's evolving global expansion strategy by making its way to one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and the U.S. headquarters of Melia Hotels International. "We are incredibly excited about the launch of ME Miami and are thrilled to begin this project in one of the most iconic cities in the U.S.," said Gabriel Escarrer, CEO and vice chairman of Melia Hotels International, "with its strategic location and all the offerings the city of Miami has to offer." Under the ownership of the private-equity, alternative investment manager, CGI Merchant Group, the downtown property will take over the current location of Casa Moderna Hotel at 1100 Biscayne Blvd. ME Miami will offer 129 guestrooms, two rooftop pools, and more than 5,000 sq. ft. of renovated space that will be converted into new F&B facilities with dining and event spaces. All public and private spaces, including a spa, will be completely remodeled. "The opening of ME Miami represents a significant undertaking for CGI, one that spanned two years and comprised a substantial financial commitment, a tremendous amount of resources, as well as exhaustive due diligence to find a partner befitting of such a significant project for downtown Miami," said Raoul Thomas, CEO of CGI Merchant Group. The announcement of ME Miami follows the summer 2014 launches of ME Mallorca and ME Ibiza as well as the ME London opening in 2013. The brand will continue to expand with the development of three future properties in markets including ME Milan Il Duca and ME Caracas, both slated to open in 2015, and Zaha Hadid's ME Dubai slated to open in 2016.

CIF SoCal Regionals recap
Originally Published: March 19, 2012
Joel Francisco | RecruitingNation
ONTARIO, Calif. -- The Division III clash at the CIF Southern California Regional Championships between Alemany (Mission Hills) and St. John Bosco (Bellflower), with the winner facing San Francisco Sacred Heart Cathedral for state supremacy next weekend, was a tale of two halves. In the first, Alemany built a 37-21 lead by taking advantage of careless ballhandling (11 turnovers) by Bosco as well as some dynamic play by Nevada-bound Marqueze Coleman.
In the second half, however, ESPNU 60 recruit Isaac Hamilton (St. John Bosco) demonstrated why he is arguably the most skilled scoring guard out west, regardless of class. Hamilton was simply dazzling as he scored 21 of his 32 points in leading his team to a 57-51 lead with 1:38 to go. But a barrage of late turnovers cost Bosco that elusive trip to Sacramento; Alemany claimed victory in this wild affair 62-61.

Knock knock
Obama made a birther joke at a Tennessee town meeting, reports the Associated Press.
"They're pretty sure that I'm an illegal immigrant," Obama quipped, before adding, "That was a joke."
He's so funny.
Do you know any funny birther jokes?
You might be a birther if…
Commenter Jim wrote:
Wish I could find the old Jeff Foxworthy takeoff I wrote years ago
"If you think a used car salesman playing cop is more reliable than the State of Hawaii, yew might be a birther."
I think I had about 30-40 of them.
Help Jim out with some new ones. Here's one of mine:
You might be a birther if you think removing the red eye from the pictures of your kid's birthday party with Photoshop makes you a forensic document expert.

The Orliad remembered
For those who have not been around the birther movement a long time, I mention in this article an important work chronicling the exploits of Orly Taitz from 2009. I have one image from The Orliad, the iconic drawing of Orly as Joan of Arc, in an article, but I never featured the whole work, an omission that I correct now. Here's a sample from one chapter, "The Orliad and the Idiocy."
The Orliad is attributed to someone named Mrs. Polly, and appeared at the Rumproast web site. Here is an index to the chapters and related material:
Exit strategy
Parting shots
As the days go by, birtherism recedes farther and farther into irrelevancy, and I was just a little surprised to see the topic revisited yet again by President Obama's speech writers at the White House Correspondents' Association Annual Dinner this year [video embedded at the end of the article]. I thoroughly enjoyed the speech, from the opening moment when the band played "Hail to the Ferns." Birthers got skewered a couple of times.
After noting that an American won the Boston Marathon for the first time in 30 years, Obama said:
It's only fair since a Kenyan has been president for the last six.
I think the second one the more interesting:
Let's face it, Fox, you will miss me when I'm gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya.
I think the subtext of that joke was a commentary on just how crazy political opposition has become in the age of Internet blog-based conspiracism, and a foretaste of what a Hillary Clinton race for President might look like.
While I enjoyed Obama's remarks, I hope that this is the last Correspondents' Dinner with birther jokes. Birthers are yesterday's news (except in our little niche).
A strategy that drags on too long becomes a drag.
— Saul Alinsky
Exit strategy
Over at Birther Report I get asked from time to time what my "exit strategy" is. I don't know quite how to take the question, since I don't think I need an exit strategy. I have no debts to pay off from running the blog. Birthers think (or claim to think since I find it hard to really believe them) that bloggers who make fun of them will be prosecuted for treason and sent to jail, but in fact such a thing is patently absurd.
A fellow made an injudicious comment here a few days back and became embroiled in a discussion he probably didn't want to be in. I was going to share my exit strategy with him:
Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and look for a blue button labeled "Submit Comment." Don't push it.

Tricksters taunt Taitz terribly
I reject the idea of "blaming the victim" in most circumstances. Orly Taitz, on the other hand, has actively censored reasonable and factual comments on her web site for the purpose, it would seem, of making her seem a better attorney than she is, and to make what she is doing in the anti-Obama realm more effective than it is. There is a certain element of justice when the targets of her censorship exploit her own vanity for the purpose of ridiculing her.
The moderated strike back
One of the long-time characteristics of the Taitz web site is the publication of comments of fawning praise for Taitz. One memorable comment from Judith called Taitz "Lady Liberty" back in early 2009.
For several months now, Taitz commenters have combined fawning praise with hidden insults in the form of fake names that allude to insulting or sexually-explicit phrases. (Let me hasten to add that I personally have not done this.) Here's a recent example:
Here's a short collection of some of the other spoof commenter names from the Taitz web site this week:
- Gaye Barr (gay bar)
- Phillip McKraq (fill up my crack)
- Ricardo Cabeza (dick head, sp.)
- Dick Kerr (dick her)
- F. Hart (fart)
- Verga Grande (big dick, sp.)
- Arnie Benedict (Benedict Arnold)
- Enorme Pene (huge penis, sp.)
- Ben Dover (bend over)
- Mosca De Cerdos (pigs fly, sp.)
- Lt. Col. Hugh Jhass (retired) (huge ass)
- Jacky Hoff (jack off)
- Pyle F. Schit (pile of ….)
There are others I suspect, but that I couldn't figure out.
