BF4 was released [too] early by EA to compete with COD: Ghosts
What is EA thinking? It has been trying to shake off The Consumerist's "Worst Company in America" award, but now a report on Reddit has shown that EA forced itself to unleash Battlefield 4 too early, so that it could have the jump on Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Well, it looks like there are all sorts of issues with Battlefield 4 - myself, no issues here - but according to a QA tester at DICE, EA pumped BF4 through quality control and testing in order to beat COD: Ghosts to the market. This means that the various teams at DICE simply didn't have the time to properly test all of the features of BF4, its guns, weapons, and more. There are massive bugs such as the one that mutes everyone on the server if any player chooses a silencer on a particular weapon.
You can read the entire thing above, which is quite shocking, and disappointing. It means that we'll have to wait months for the game to be more stable, which after the whole BF3 debacle, I was hoping we'd skip this time around.
Call of Duty: Ghosts breaks $1 billion in sales in 24-hours...sort of
This morning Activision, the publisher of Call of Duty: Ghosts, announced that the game had managed to break the record set by Grand Theft Auto V, and managed to accumulate more than $1 billion in sales in the first 24 hours. This fulfills a promise made by Activision shortly after RockStar announced that they broke $1 billion in sales in just 3 days.
Unfortunately, Activision may be a little off in their estimates as the numbers they reported account for what is known as "Sell-In," which is how much retailers have paid the company for orders of the game. This means that retailers worldwide have purchased over $1 billion in copies and keys of the game, but $1 billion in actual retail sales might not have taken place yet.
For example, a retailer may purchase 3000 copies of the game for each of its stores, but might only sell 2000 of those copies per store. That leaves each store with 1000 unsold copies which it would return to Activision. This means that actual sales numbers differ from what Activision has reported today. So technically, they have not yet broken Rockstars GTA V sales record yet.
Metro: Last Light makes its way to Linux and SteamOS
Back when Valve first announced SteamOS, we all knew that it would be something big, and today we got a glimpse of just how big it may be. 4A Games, the guys behind Metro: Last Light have just finished porting the game to Linux with full support for SteamOS, and a visit to the games page on Steam (Source link below) will confirm this.
A report from Shacknews, states that Metro: Last Light will be fully compatible with SteamOS and the Steam Controller in time for those lucky 300 to play on their beta-edition Steam Machines. Metro: Last Light is available now on Steam for just $39.99, but lets be honest, who has time to play with both Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts both out right now!
Sony unleashes DriveClub trailer that will hit PS4 retail kiosks
Evolution Studios' PS4 exclusive DriveClub, will be featured in PlayStation 4 retail kiosks, with Sony releasing a new video that shows off some gameplay footage of the racing title.
DriveClub boasts "team-based racing," social features and attention-to-detail graphics, such as beautiful animation when you step into your vehicle, making DriveClub feel that much more real. DriveClub was expected to launch side-by-side with the PS4, but has been delayed into 2014 unfortunately, like a lot of games these days.

Valve will not develop any SteamOS, or Steam Machine exclusive games
Don't worry - I was surprised too: it looks like Valve will not be making any SteamOS, or Steam Machine exclusive games anytime soon. Valve has confirmed the news, too.
Designer Greg Coomer talked with IGN, where he said: "You won't see an exclusive killer app for SteamOS from us. We're not going to be doing that kind of thing." Valve spokesperson, Anna Sweet, also chimed in: "That would go against our whole philosophy, to launch something that's exclusive to SteamOS or Steam Machines."
Sweet added: "Whenever we talk to third-party partners, we encourage them to put their games in as many places as possible, including not on our platforms. Because we think that customers are everywhere, and they want to put their games wherever customers are."
I guess this is a good thing, as it means that even a system-seller like Half-Life 3 would reach any Steam-based platform, be it Windows, Mac OS X, SteamOS or any of the Steam Machines.
Humble's Warner Bros. Bundle arrives with a healthy dose of Batman
It's that time again everyone! Of course I am talking about the arrival of a new Humble Bundle and a fun and easy way to support some great charities. The new Humble Bundle features 6 games from Warner Bros. Games including Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, F.E.A.R. 3, and Lord of the Rings: War in the North.
For those who wish to pay a little extra to beat the average, ($4.56 at the time of this writing) you will also pick up Steam keys for Batman: Arkham City GOTY, and Scribblenauts Unlimited. This bundles chosen charity is the We Can Be Heroes foundation, which is designed to raise awareness and critical funds needed to fight the devastating hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa and bring help and hope to eight million people who are in urgent need of assistance.
I have purchased almost every humble bundle and weekly sale that has been offered so far, and today is no exception. I urge everyone to jump in and even if you can only afford to donate $1 you will land some sweet games, and help out a deserving charity at the same time. Do you plan on purchasing the new Humble Bundle? Let us know in the comments.

Activision launches Call of Duty: Ghost, promises to be "epic"
This morning Activision announced the official launch of the next installment in its Call of Duty franchise. Call of Duty: Ghost is built an all new, next-generation engine and places players in a battle scenario where they are heavily outnumbered and outgunned. This is a first for the series, and Activision is billing it as an "Epic Thrill Ride" that takes the franchise to the next level.
"The launch of Call of Duty has become a pop-cultural event shared by millions around the globe. We consider this a huge honour and it drives us to exceed our fans' expectations each and every time," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing Inc. "Call of Duty: Ghosts delivers on this promise with an epic thrill ride which takes the franchise to new heights on both current and next gen consoles. The teams at Infinity Ward, Raven and Neversoft have poured their hearts and souls into making this the must have gaming experience of the next generation. And of course, none of this would be possible without the most passionate fans in the world. Today is for them."
The game kicks off when the "Orbital Defense Initiative" or ODIN space station launches a strike on the earth after an intense firefight in space lands the weapon in the wrong hands. With your home destroyed, your brother and you come across an elite group of soldiers who are known as the Ghosts. You join up with their group and fight together as a squad to defend what's left of the earth. Our own Simon Hutchinson will have his full review of the game up soon, so stay tuned to TweakTown for the latest on Call of Duty: Ghosts.

RumorTT: Arkane Studios switching from Unreal Engine 3 to CryEngine
According to some tweets from Arkane Studios' HR manager, Ashley Pierce, it looks like the developer of Dishonored is switching from Unreal Engine 3 to the CryEngine for its upcoming title.
Both Arkane and Battlecry Studios are developing with Crytek's infamous engine, which has powered the Crysis games (of course) but also the free-to-play MechWarrior Online. The news is coming thanks to the developer looking for a Tech Artist to "dive deep" into the CryEngine. Pierce was asked if Arkane was indeed using CryEngine, where she responded, "here in Austin we are!"
Infinity Ward explain COD: Ghosts' lack of 1080p at 60FPS on Xbox One
We know that Call of Duty: Ghosts will be filling up all of those pixels natively on 1080p displays on the PlayStation 4, but it won't be doing so on the Xbox One, a console where Call of Duty sells better this generation, anyway.
We've been all over it in the news, because it's a big problem when a game can't run at 1080p at 60FPS on a next-gen console, especially a game like COD: Ghosts. Well, the developer of the game, Infinity Ward, has come out and explained why their title won't be running at native 1080p on the Xbox One. Infinity Ward head honcho, Mark Rubin, said that they had to sacrifice resolution in order to get the game at a continuous 60 frames per second.
He continued: "It's very possible we can get it to native 1080p [resolution]. I mean I've seen it working at 1080p native. 's just we couldn't get the frame rate in the neighbourhood we wanted it to be. And it wasn't a lack of effort. It wasn't that it was like last minute. We had the theoretical hardware for a long time. That's the thing you get pretty quickly and that doesn't change dramatically. It was more about resource allocation. The resource allocation is different on the consoles. That huge web of tangled resources, whether it's threads-based or if it's GPU threads or if it's memory - whatever it is - optimisation is something that could go theoretically on forever."

Killzone: Shadow Fall footage download sees 1080p @ 60FPS shown off
Killzone: Shadow Fall will be one of the only next-gen games cranking along at 1080p at 60FPS, with the developer of the game, Guerrilla Games releasing a new "ultra high bitrate" of the game, which you can check out below.
This footage was released because streaming it online just doesn't do it justice, with Michiel van der Leeuw, Technical Director at Guerrilla, writing on the PlayStation Blog that "there are limitations to streamed video on the internet, and many of the clips and trailers we've released thus far aren't being viewed in the best possible fidelity and framerate."
He also stated that in order to see the full potential of the footage, you need to grab this video because details in the footage can be compromised when using web video: "In order to properly demonstrate the framerate and resolution we achieve in Shadow Fall's multiplayer, we've captured and lightly compressed new footage that we're not offering through a video sharing service."
The footage is around one-minute long, clocking in at a 541MB download.

If you've ever walked around the lower concourse of Staples Center, you know which doors not to use if you need some fresh air, so to speak.
The ones marked "NO RE-ENTRY". The signs are everywhere.
Charlie Sheen chose not to heed the signs en route to a cigarette break, and after being denied re-entry to the Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final series between the Los Angeles Kings and New Jersey Devils, had choice words for an arena security guard.
"What does common sense dictate?" Sheen asked the guard in what was the most benign response compared to most of his nearly two minutes of reaction to the situation caught by a camera, as reported by TMZ.
Speaking of The Situation, New Jersey offered a response to Sheen's comments as the Devils' Twitter feed tried to absorb some of the attention by inviting Sheen to Game 5 Saturday night in Newark.

Helen Keller once noted that, "walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light." Maybe that is the method behind the success for the Toronto-raised electronic experimental goth group Crystal Castles. They mainly keep to the dark and bleak and that has been the usual. Ethereal and safe, Crystal Castles will get you to lose your mind on an auditory journey through their cerebral work. While Crystal Castles were recording Crystal Castles (III), it is reported that they had two rules: First, no computers. They got rid of their synths and started back to a more real sound. And second, they kept only the first recording, giving each track its own truth. There's something to be said about a group that is committed to their craft.

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.16 / 5.00 4,411 ViewsEdit: Yay, thanks for front page! I actually wasn't expecting it for this flash honestly.
This is going on Youtube later, but I give you guys my stuff first because I love you guys (I also love your abuse, hit me daddy).
This is a Kinetic typography I've been working on for about 4 days now, it uses the audio from the intro to Half Life 2.
It runs at 60 FPS and comes in at 4230 frames.
Wake up and smell the ashes.
this is a very professional piece of work you got there, my friend! i really liked how it had a complete introduction and credits, it really made this seem legit.
"I didn't see you get on the train."
Impressive. Given that the actual sound bit this is based on isn't long, that's easily forgiven, and a lot of the general flow seems right. But it seems a bit too fast in certain places- the G Man speaks a little slowly, so the arrival of the words being quick and sudden felt off. It's still excellent, though, and I really can't point out anything else to improve on. Well done, good sir.
Near perfect work, but the O thing seems to be a bit too thick when bigger. The preloader also doesn't work for me. Keep up the good work!

If you're a designer, it's very likely that at one point or another you were working on a project and felt like it wasn't going anywhere. It's almost like all the ideas get sucked out of your head with a giant vacuum and no matter how hard you try to think you just can't come up with a clear direction to go. While creative blocks may cause tension headaches and severe irritation, I'd like to offer you a new perspective
How sketching will take your design process to the next level
For a long time now it's been evident that soon technology will rule the world (if it doesn't already). It seems as though every day surprising amounts of new electronic gadgets are introduced, and the good old pen and paper get forgotten in the attic to collect cobwebs and mold. This article will address why you should turn off your laptop, put away your tablet, and go back to the basics during your design process, as well as provide some

While today's essential design tip will help your designs look better in the long-run, this chapter deals primarily with the design process and how to openly accept criticism of your designs.

After you finish, ask them to name the song you just tapped out.

Design Essentials 2: Originality
This chapter of Design Essentials will cover the topic of Originality in design. Originality is the ability to think independently and creatively. So why is it so important that we, as designers, are original thinkers? Put most simply, original designs are more effective. Let's take a look at the concept of originality in design: But don't great designers copy? It's been a popular topic of discussion here on GDB and throughout the design community: do great designers really copy other
Design Essentials 1: Attention to detail
This chapter of Design Essentials focuses on Attention to Detail and the important role it plays in the design process. Attention to detail makes for a better experience in any industry.

Detectives and law officials know that it is in the details of a crime scene that they find success. Engineers and architects know that the

Beginning a new design project is always exhilarating. You're energized and excited about working on the project and creating something effective and beautiful. But have you ever had a project that, by the end of it, you just "want to get it done"? You stop caring so much about the design because you've been forced to change it so many times since the original concept, you don't even feel like it's your work anymore? I've been there.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Students warp into 'entrepreneurs' across U.S.
Many years ago, when a new dean at my university referred to the faculty as "content providers," my colleagues and I rolled our eyes. It was the latest hokey label for an old profession.
There was "sage on the stage" (the distant lecturer on the podium), "guide on the side" (the collaborative, student-centered instructor) and, in the laptop classroom in which the teacher meanders behind the students, the "peer at the rear."
Like all catchphrases and buzzwords, they served a short-hand purpose. But ponder them, and you could discern far-reaching trends in U.S. education.
Students, too, are redefined. The terms have varied — "learners," "critical thinkers," "meaning makers," "problem solvers." The hot one now seems to be "entrepreneur" or "student-entrepreneur," at least at the college level.
Entrepreneurship programs have exploded on U.S. campuses, and administrators love to talk about them. They aren't just for business students. Kansas State University's Center for Advancement of Entrepreneurship declares, "The mission of our award-winning center is to promote entrepreneurship among all academic disciplines," while at Arizona State University, "The Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative provides funding, mentorship and office space to teams of students within all university disciplines."
Princeton's Keller Center eLab boasts, "students will work together in a supportive community of fellow entrepreneurs," and the University of Michigan's Center for Entrepreneurship pledges to "connect our student entrepreneurs to our extensive mentor network and invite mentors into the classroom."
It's not always about money, either, as this Bloomberg Businessweek article observed: "Every spring, the Clinton Global Initiative University meeting brings together some of the world's most promising student entrepreneurs, who come to the group's annual meeting with ideas they hope will bring about social change."
Such programs are now common enough to have their own rankings: Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine compile an annual list of the 25 best undergraduate entrepreneurship units in the country.
The benefits of having more entrepreneurial thinking on campus are obvious, both for individual students, who are running up debt and facing uncertain employment, and for the U.S. economy, which increasingly relies on innovation to maintain its global position. But the expansion of entrepreneurship centers and the redefinition of students are happening so swiftly and eagerly that one wonders where the education ends and the hype begins.
The advantages of the entrepreneurship label are considerable. It's an improvement over "customers," a term that popped up in the late 1990s and recast higher education as a service industry. "Customer" sounds too passive for the 21st century, now that digital tools have given teenagers so much capacity to create and distribute their own words, photos, videos and songs.
"Entrepreneur" also reaches well beyond "learners," which ties students to a set content, the books they read and labs they complete, while "entrepreneur" anticipates each student stepping forward to form and share something wholly new. Student entrepreneurs aren't just learning — they're doing.
In the mouths of administrators and on school websites, "student-entrepreneur" is more than a descriptive term. It is an endowment and a marketing strategy with a target audience: the high-school student who is starting the application process.
Colleges compete feverishly for more applicants and higher selectivity in admissions, a crucial component of the U.S. News & World Report ranking. The honourable title "entrepreneur" doesn't say, "You are an industrious, inventive, smart youth," it promises, "Here at our campus, you will be an industrious, inventive, smart youth."
How exciting! For 13-plus years, high-achieving 18-year-olds have been students, shuffled from class to class in a regimented school day, dutifully completing tasks set by teachers, learning pat content on a syllabus. In college, they evolve into entrepreneurs who may freely pursue their own interests, be creative and experimental, and make lots of money, too!
The students' role model isn't LeBron James or Albert Einstein or Hillary Clinton. It's Mark Zuckerberg, the student who turned a floating idea into Facebook, or the guys who founded Instagram, or Sean Parker.
Colleges that have no entrepreneurship message appear to applicants as old-fashioned and unappreciative. If Duke and Emory universities have something and Vanderbilt doesn't, high-school counselors and the Fiske Guide notice, as do ambitious parents. The message spreads. How liberal arts colleges are failing America was the headline on an Atlantic article last September on the regrettable absence of entrepreneurship at many schools.
The only casualty in this forward-looking, product-creating, money-making, social-change enterprise is the old idea of liberal education from Cicero to a few traditionalists in the present: the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. Or, as Cardinal John Henry Newman put it, "liberal knowledge, which stands on its own pretensions, which is independent of sequel, expects no complement, refuses to be informed (as it is called) by any end, or absorbed into any art, in order duly to present itself to our contemplation."
Entrepreneurship seeks precisely the opposite — ends, added value, a difference in the world. It's good that colleges devise programs that address worldly matters and embrace a concept that professors like to sneer at.
Yet colleges would do well to incorporate humanistic learning into this curriculum. Maybe an entrepreneur who has read Thucydides or Edith Wharton is more prepared, more savvy and imaginative about new products and solutions than an unlettered competitor.

I don't have a code but just found out about a website like woot.com for hunters and sportmen. Here is the link https://www.camofire.com/ They have some good deals.
Nitrox, I was thinking more of discount codes you can use on anything you may want to order, rather that single items that are chosen to be offered to you. Some time ago I placed a sizable order with a company after I discovered a 20% off code for your entire order posted on another forum. That instantly knocked off a butt load of money from my order total. I thought if members receive these types of offers, it would help the rest of us if they pass them along... Just a thought.
Gotcha. When I get some discount codes, I will pass them along.
This is an excellent idea. I visit slickdeals.net occasionally. The "deals" are hit or miss, but right now there is a deal to get a free years subscription to Maxim magazine . . . . . . . . just sayin.

SlingPlayer for Mac OS X (beta) lands 10/31
We've seen screenshots, and we've even seen it in action, but now Sharon R., in her first corporate blog post for Sling Media, has laid down the law by announcing a Tuesday, October 31st release date (yea, All Hallows' Eve) of their much-anticipated SlingPlayer for Mac OS X public beta. She even went so far as to 'guarantee' it, so that's gotta be worth something. We'll see whether they get hung up by a little too much partying over the weekend soon enough. Stay tuned (hah!).

Submetido por Robert Geva (Intel) em

Principal Engineer, Intel Software and Solutions Group
Porting code from IA-32 architecture to EM64T to take advantage of 64-bit involves tradeoffs in performance considerations.
Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T) is a 64-bit extension to Intel's IA-32 architecture. Data can be accessed in 64-bit chunks, and large memory is addressable without special OS calls. This white paper introduces the architecture extensions and discusses performance tradeoffs when porting software from 32-bit to 64-bit. While being able to perform operations on 64-bit instead of 32-bit is an advantage for software that requires them, not all software can, in practice, take advantage of the additional computation bandwidth. Conversely, all data access addresses becoming 64-bits leads to increased pressure on HW resources, for example, the data cache. When porting SW from 32-bit in Intel IA-32 architecture to Intel EM64T architecture, there are performance implications resulting from differences in the architecture, implications of the microarchitecture and differences in software conventions. This white paper does not attempt to provide a characterization of applications that can benefit from porting to 64-bit-it merely discusses the tradeoffs.
We also note that several compilers are available that generate native code for EM64T: the Intel® Compiler and the Microsoft Visual Studio* 2005. Make strong efforts to optimize code for performance on Intel EM64T-based platforms.
Intel® EM64T Architecture
Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology extends Intel IA-32 from a 32-bit architecture to a 64-bit architecture. EM64T introduces a new mode (referred to as "long mode") which supports running 32-bit or 64-bit applications. For the purposes of this paper, we will concentrate on the three modes in which most software will run:
- Legacy mode: In this mode the architecture executes 32-bit SW without 64-bit capabilities. A 32-bit operating system is executing.
- Compatibility mode: In this mode, a 64-bit operating system executes a 32-bit application. This is a subset of long mode.
- 64-bit mode: A 64-bit operating system executes code that was compiled for 64-bit and takes advantage of the new architecture. This is also a subset of long mode.
Extensions of the Register Set
Intel IA-32 architecture features eight general purpose registers, each of them is a 32-bit register. Intel EM64T architecture extends each of those registers to 64-bit, which are then referred to as RAX, RBX, RCX, RDX, RSP, RBP, RSI, and RDI. It also adds eight new registers, named R9 through R15. Each of the registers is addressable as a 64-bit register, a 32-bit register, a 16-bit register and an 8-bit register. For example, R11 is the 64-bit version, R11d is the lower 32-bit of the same register, R11w is the lower 16 bits of the register and R11l is the lower byte. The registers ESP, EBP, ESI and EDI, which are not 8-bit addressable in IA-32, are 8-bit addressable in EM64T. For example, SL is the lower 8 bits of ESI. The 8-bit registers AH, BH, CH and DH are available in EM64T. They cannot be used in the same instructions with the new 8-bit registers.
IA-32 features eight 128-bit XMM registers. EM64T doubles their number to 16, and their size remains unchanged-128 bits. Their names are XMM0 through XMM15.
The X87 registers are the same as they are in IA-32: ST(0) through ST(7).
The instruction pointer, EIP, changes from 32-bit to 64-bit and is renamed to RIP.
New Instructions
Most of the IA-32 instructions can take 64-bit operands, so from an encoding perspective there are many new instructions. That extension is somewhat obvious. Only two other noteworthy instructions are added: sign extension from 32-bit to 64-bit: movsxd, and cmpxchg16b-an extension of the IA-32 cmpxchg8b. All the instruction set extensions that were added to IA-32 up to SSE3 are available in EM64T. While on the IA-32 side, using them in software applications poses problems with respect to backwards compatibility, no such issues arise in using them in EM64T programs.
64-bit Mode Operation
In 64-bit mode, the default size of address is 64-bit and the default size of data is 32-bit. This means that an encoding of a register when used as a base or as an index register is interpreted by default to be the full 64-bit version of the register. A use of a register otherwise, i.e. as a source or destination data operand, is interpreted by default as the 32-bit version of the register. The default can be overridden by using one of 16 available REX prefixes. The REX prefixes are an addition to the EM64T architecture and are not available in the IA-32 architecture. They are one-byte prefixes, their values range from 40 to 4F1, and they have to be encoded as the prefix that is nearest to the instruction. For example, the instruction add EAX, 8 is encoded as 83 C0 08, and the instruction add RAX, 8 is encoded as 48 83 C0 08.
When an operation assigns a value to a 32-bit register but not to the full 64-bit register, the architecture requires that the upper 32-bits are zero extended. For example, if an instruction loads a 32-bit value from memory to EAX, then the upper 32-bits of RAX are zero extended.
New SW Conventions
Application Binary Interfaces (ABI's) and SW convention, including function calling conventions, exist in order to ensure inter operability between software modules that were generated using different tools. Those could be different compilers, assemblers, low-level programming, etc. The conventions only need to be consistent within a given instruction set architecture and operating system. While for IA-32, the ABI is the same for the Windows* and Linux* platform, for EM64T they are different. The full specification for both can be found in several locations on the Web.
Some of the notable differences between the IA-32 ABI and the EM64T Windows ABI include:
- In IA-32, all function arguments are passed on the user stack. In EM64T, the first four arguments are passed is registers. Integer arguments are passed in ECX, EDX, R8, R9. Floating point arguments are passed in XMM0 through XMM3. Only the first four arguments can be passed in registers. For example, in a callin g sequence of five argument, where the first, third and fifth are integer and the second and fourth are floating point, the first will be passed in ECX, EDX will be unused, the second will be passed in XMM1, XMM0 will be unused, and so on. The fifth argument will be passed on the stack.
- In IA-32 EBP, EBX, EDI and ESI are callee saved. In EM64T on Windows, their 64-bit equivalents are also callee saved, and in addition, R12, R13, R14, R15 are callee saved, and so are XMM6 through XMM15.
- While in IA-32 the stack is aligned on 4-byte boundary, in EM64T the stack is aligned on a 16-byte boundary. Data items are laid out so that they are aligned on their natural data size, in particular when they are field of structures and classes.
- The Linux ABI is different.
1 In legacy and compatibility mode, 0x40 to 0x4F are the single byte inc and dec instructions.
Performance Considerations
The term architecture refers to the instructions set, including encoding of instructions, number and name of registers, and in general the aspect of the hardware platform that is exposed to the software. By contrast, microarchitecture is a particular implementation of architecture. Microarchitectural aspects include latencies of operations, sizes of caches, etc.
Architectural Considerations
The Intel® EM64T architecture makes more registers available to the assembly coder or the compiler. Registers are faster than memory and therefore being able to make good use of the additional registers is an advantage.
The general purpose registers are 64-bit. Therefore, programs that perform arithmetic operations on 64-bit integer values can benefit from the width of the register, whereas on IA-32, 64-bit operations have to be emulated with sequences of 32-bit operations. For example, in order to add two 64-bit values on IA-32, the required code sequences consist of adding the two lower 32-bit halves, adding the upper two 32-bit halves, and adding the carry bit from the first addition.
Access to new registers and to 64-bit flavors of registers require adding a REX prefix to the encoding of instructions. This creates larger encodings and reduces utilization of HW resources that are sensitive to code size, such as instruction caches. A potential optimization to alleviate the problem when possible is to prefer the general purpose registers that are available in IA-32 (EAX, EBP, etc) over the new ones (R8 through R15) and to strength reduce operations from 64-bit operations to 32-bit operations. For example, if a value is known to be within the bounds of 0 through 100, it is safe to use a 32-bit register to represent it, even when the context implies use of a 64-bit register. (It is generally not recommended to strength reduce to 16-bits or 8-bits because those also create larger encodings.)
Software Conventions Related Considerations
In EM64T, field of structures are aligned on their natural boundaries. For example, 64-bit floating point value and 64-bit pointers are all aligned on 64-bit boundaries. These alignment requirements can create "holes&rdqu o; inside structures, causing their size to potentially grow quite considerably. Consider for example the following structure:
struct node { char *l; char s; strcut node *prev; int I; strcut tnode *next; }
In IA-32, the size of this structure is five times 32-bit which is 20 bytes, including 3 bytes needed to align the "prev" pointer which follows the character "s." In EM64T, the overall size is 40 bytes. Not only do the pointers double in size, but also the padding required to align the pointer "prev" is now 7 bytes, and there are 4 bytes of padding required to align the pointer "next" which follows the integer "i." The conclusion is that while it is worthwhile IA-32 optimization to order field of structures and classes in decreasing order of size, this optimization is potentially a lot more beneficial for EM64T.
Microarchitectural Considerations
Obviously, the microarchitectural considerations can (and will) vary from one microprocessor to the other. This white paper can't possibly list microarchitectural considerations for future Intel microprocessors supporting EM64T. Instead, it will list a few considerations that hold for Intel® microprocessors that implement the Intel NetBurst® microarchitecture.
Probably the single most effective software optimization consideration for the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture is to follow the store forwarding guidelines. When a code sequence stores a value from a register into memory in later, in close temporal proximity it reloads the value or part of the value, the hardware attempts to forward the value from the store operation directly to the load operation. When the internal forwarding is not possible, the load operation has to wait for the store instruction to complete its operation, write the value into the memory hierarchy, and then retrieve the value from memory. This could potentially delay the operation of the load, as well as subsequent operations that depend on the load by dozens of machine cycles. Fundamentally, the store forwarding rules in the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture state that a value will forward from a store to a subsequent load only if the start address of the two operations is the same, and either the widths are the same or the load is a proper subset of the store. Conversely, if the load is attempting to load from a memory location that is a superset of the value being stored, or is a part of the store which is not the least significant part, forwarding cannot happen.
movsd QWORD PTR _x, XMM0 // store the lower 64-bit from the register XMM0 to // memory location X mov eax, DWORD PTR _x // load 32-bits from the memory location x to the // registerEAX. This will forward from the earlier store // operation. Mov edx, DWORD PTR _x+4 // load 32-bit from memory location x+4. This was stored // in the previous store operation, however it cannot // forward.
Another effective set of software optimization techniques for the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture is to avoid false dependencies. False dependencies occur when software uses machine resources that the hardware views as parts of a single resource, such as parts of registers. There are several ways in Intel® architecture to load a value from memory into a register which is a proper part of another register. For example, load a byte into AL but not to EAX. Since the hardware maintains EAX as a single-entity 32-bit register, it has to follow a load into AL by an implicit operation that merges the new value in the lower 8 bits with the previous value in the upper 24 bit. It is therefore preferable to use instead a zero extending load that assigns a value to the whole register.
Another example is to load a 64-bit value from memory to XMM0 without impacting the upper 64-bit of the 128-bit register. Note that in SSE2, the instruction movlpd xmm0, QWORD PTR _x loads 64-bit from memory to the lower 64 bits of XMM0, leaving the upper 64 bit unchanged. Again, the hardware will have to merge the new, lower 64 bit with the old, upper 64 bits creating a false dependence on the previous operation that had set that value. The instruction movsd xmm0, QWORD PTR _X also loads 64 bits from memory into the register XMM0; however, it also zero extends the upper 64 bits of the register, preventing the false dependence on the previous instruction which set the value in those upper 64 bits. The movsd load is therefore preferable to the movlpd load. Finally, the instruction movsd XMM1, XMM2 copies the lower 64 bit from XMM2 to XMM1 leaving the upper 64 bit in XMM1 unchanged. Again, the hardware will have to merge the new value with the previously set upper 64 bits, creating a false dependence on the previous instruction that had set a value in those upper 64 bits. Therefore, it is recommended to use an instruction such as movapd XMM1, XMM2 and copy all the 128 bits even in context that only require the lower 64 bits.
When software needs to convert a value from a narrow value to a wider value, the value needs to be either sign extended or zero extended. For example, when a character value is combined in an operation with an integer value, it first needs to be sign extended to the size of an integer. The instruction movsd eax, al sign extends the 8-bit value in AL to a 32-bit value in EAX. However, as required by the architecture, the upper 32 bits of the register RAX have to be zero extended. This requires the hardware to perform two operations: first, sign extend the eight bits to 32 bit, then to zero extend the upper 32 bits. It is more efficient to sign extend AL into RAX instead, i.e. sign extend to 64 bits even in context where this is not required, as then the hardware can perform the sign extension in one operation.
This white paper introduced the Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology architecture, which extends the IA-32 architecture to 64 bits. While intuitively, 64-bit operations should be more efficient than 32-bit operations and the architecture is an innovation and perceived as moving forward, this paper has shown that in practice, there are non-trivial tradeoffs. Performance impact of porting from 32-bit to 64-bit can lead to mixed results.
We are unable at this time to provide useable characterization of those applications that are guaranteed to benefit from porting to 64-bit. Instead, we have shown some of the key tradeoffs and in some cases recommended software optimizations to alleviate them.
Unfortunately, the best advice for those who are interested in porting is to measure the performance of their application to ensure their customers benefit from moving to the 64-bit architecture. In addition, readers are advised to make sure their code follows the guidelines in this white paper. Assembly language programmers should write their code accordingly. High-level language programmers who explore slow-downs in their code may benefit from analyzing the compiler-generated code in key parts of their application and ensure that it follows these recommendations.

DHCP is mangling my PTR records in DNS
DHCP is repeating the first three octets when it adds a PTR record. From my messages log:
dhcpd: added reverse map from 10.2.168.192.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa to FTIR.Adherent.lab This happens on both the 192.168.2.xyz and 192.168.4.xyz networks. Notice that the FTIR computer is already in the hosts and ptr files but a new entry still gets added. Also, nowhere in my configuration files do I have Adherent with a capital A, but the capitalized version shows up in the mangled file. My DHCP/BIND server is Ubuntu Linux but all of the network computers are Windows. Here is my system info: Code:
$ uname -a dhcpd.conf: Code:
ddns-update-style interim; Code:
$ttl 3h Code:
$TTL 3h Code:
In your reverse lookup zone you don't have the class field detailed in your resource records, you have:
10 PTR FTIR.lab.adherent.lan Code:
10 IN PTR FTIR.lab.adherent.lan |
Just out of interest, did this help matters?
Adding the IN class made no difference.
Have you tried declaring $ORIGIN in your zone files?
file /var/lib/bind/adherent-lab.lan.hosts: Code:
$TTL 3h Code:
$TTL 3h |
Still mangling after adding the $ORIGIN statement.
Try adding the following to your subnet clauses.
ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa."; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-entry-867266/ I compared this to my DNS/DHCP server and it looks like it should work the way you have it, except I think DHCPD is assuming you have a /8 (192.x.x.x) because you have more than one /24. As an added thought the "error" is in DHCP, I saw a few references to this behavior when I was looking for a way to fix it, and the common theme is your configuration would work as is if there was only one subset. |
Thanks Robert for posting that link; it fixed the problem. I guess I never hit the right combination of search terms to find that posting.
Its ok, I was lucky enough to be a DNS Eng for a large ISP for several years. The combo I used was "dhcp ddns wrong zone" in Google. Some times its all about knowing the right words. I had an unfair advantage searching plus I had a very good idea of where the problem had to be, just glad I could help.

I felt my baby kick at 15 weeks it was just two flutters I felt while sitting down at the lower side of my stomach. The next time I felt something was at 16 weeks but they were sharp diggin into what felt like the top of my V. I felt it often when driving especially when my pants were too tight around my waste. I still havent bought maternity pants and I am now 18 weeks and I feel a mix of flutters and the sharp pain all during the day even when I am wearing loose clothing which I mainly do.So could that just be the baby doing cart wheels everywhere, does anyone get those sharp pains, is that really the baby kicking or could it be something else. Please describe what yours feels like and state how many weeks you are. Thanks
If you have felt your baby kick... can you deslcribe what it feels like and how many weeks
Posted 07/21/2013
When I feel it it feels like twitching kinda. Not sharp pain. I started feeling it at 16 weeks.

When I feel him kicking it feels like a a twitch anywhere in my abdomen or like Blop! Feeling. Sometimes, if he's really low, then it might hurt, and I think that's just him moving but not kicking. I've been able to feel him since 18 weeks and flutters before that.

@caitlawah its kinda sorta a twitch/shock for me too but I just call it pain because I feel it in uncomfortable spots. It is usually so random. Maybe my baby is just really low.
Posted 07/21/2013
I started feeling fluttering when I would lay down at night at about 16-17 weeks. Just recently, 2 days ago, I have felt little pokes from the inside while sitting up and I am 18 weeks yesterday.

@USMCmommy123 well i had those too which is basically the stretching of the uterus but it isnt that its sharp digs on my V area. I am just hoping that my baby is sitting low and that may be whats causing it when it kicks. I have my next midwive appt in 3days I hope it turns out normal.

My son loved to kick my cervix, it felt like sharp pains at the interior end of my vagina . I don't remember how far along I was when that first happened. But the first movements always felt like a butterfly or paintbrush tickling my insides.

Lovely. So nice to see a new bedding line. I do think there is a bit of a hole in the market for bedding? Either super icky or extremely expensive Italian.. with Dwell and Area in the middle. Good to see something fresh. Thank you!

The OP is trying to jam his opinions down our throats and force us to agree with him. He can have his opinion and think whatever he will, but I'm not drinking this Kool-Aid. And those shorts are still fucking ugly.
When I was living there I was discussing with a Russian woman, who had studied Psychology(In Russia) and who's father was high in the Russian Military, the scene from 'Enemy At the Gates' where the Russians are shooting their own troops for retreating.
Her opinion was that Russians need this kind of strong handed approach to being ruled.
Conversation didn't get much further than that, obviously that approach has worked so well for them so far.
Edit: By the way, you spelt Vodka/водка the Polish way. Since Russians invented it, I find that offensive.
Nothing like some fragging for winning a war.
By the way, I agree with EdgeWalker, but still love me some GSP.

If I were still a practicing ob-gyn and one of my patients said she was not going to vaccinate her child, I might try to persuade her to change her mind. But, if I were unsuccessful, I would respect her decision. I certainly would not lobby the government to pass a law mandating that children be vaccinated even if the children's parents object. Sadly, the recent panic over the outbreak of measles has led many Americans, including some self-styled libertarians, to call for giving government new powers to force all children to be vaccinated.

Short answer is it equates to absolutely nothing. For all anyone knows, the photo could have been created with an insanely overcharged load that would have blown any pistol apart. Plenty of guns have suffered catastrophic failure due to that sort of thing. It's most certainly no justification for a weapon's worthiness. Were that the case, I can add a few other POS weapons that shouldn't be carried...
But back on point to your original post. There is not going to be a "truth of the matter", so to speak, because there is no definitive truth to be found when that truth is based on subjective opinions.

"Such a beautiful invitation! I love the purple and white on black--it makes it so elegant. We went with the envelopements and love the way they turned out. One thing to remember is to put the tape on the back of the invitation itself, not on the envelopment, as this is the only way the invitation will stay in place."
"We received our lovely invitations, and was så happy with both the design, layout and quality. Our guests has made so many positive remarks on our invitations. I love the fact that the design is powerful and light at the same time."
"We added certain things to the invitation to make it more personalized to us which was no problem at all. This company is great at editing everything to your liking. The purple is beautiful and the flowers on the back look awesome! I can't wait to send these out!!"
"We love the design and the paper quality too! They are more gorgeous in real than in the picture. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! You made my day!"

Grey & Tortoiseshell Silkies |
My tortoiseshell roosters really do display that rich color you see- it is simply gorgeous and they strut around like this all the time. Tortoiseshell IS NOT a recognized silkie color and must be shown in AOV (Any Other Variety). This means that you can show them but it's unlikely that you will be in the competition for the best of breed awards and confined to competing with other unusual colors if any are present.. Still I found it fun and interesting to show them despite the fact that they were almost certianly not in the running for the higher awards. I got many, many comments and questions on them because they are beautiful and unusual. I would like to see more people showing their non standard colored silkies, after all life is not all black and white (and blue, and buff, etc) and variety is the spice of life. This pen needs work, I know that, and with only a few hens I need to increase my breeders. Working on that now and am getting several nice grey and one or two tort babies to grow out. These are a derivative of grey but should not be used in a breeding program for show greys as they carry the gene for red coloring. This can be bred out with work, if somoene is willing to do the work.

The Toughest NHL Hockey Players of All Time
Hockey players are tough as nails. A recent ESPN study concluded that ice hockey is the most demanding team sport in the world. Only boxing was given a higher overall mark based on ESPN's ten criteria: endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, nerve, durability, hand-eye coordination, analytic aptitude. In hockey, you are forced to do two to three minute full-out sprints at a time jostling with 250 pound speed demons on ice, trying to get a small puck while simultaneously having finesse. According to numerous studies, hockey players have to fight through the most buildup of lactic acid in their legs during the course of a game. No wonder why Kobe Bryant referred to hockey player's toughness when facing a 3-0 deficit. Players like Zdeno Chara are tough for today's standards, but no one holds a candle to these 10 hockey legends who played when they were hurt or sick, and weren't afraid to get a tooth (or several) knocked out in a fight.
#10- Maurice Richard
Years Active: 1942-1960
#9- Billy Smith
Years Active: 1969-1989
#8- Peter Forsberg
Years Active: 1994-2008, 2010-2011
#7- Mark Messier
Years Active: 1978-2004
One of the dirtiest players in the game, Messier wasn't noted for fighting as much as his elbows and high sticks. His reputation and his piercing glare intimidated most players to the point where they didn't want to test him. Not to mention, who can forget the time when Messier's Rangers were one game away from elimination by the New Jersey Devils. Messier gathered around the unforgiving New York press and flat-out guaranteed victory. He went on to score three straight third-period goals to beat the Devils, eventually winning the series and their first Stanley Cup in 54 years.
#6- Todd Bertuzzi
Years Active: 1995-Present
#5- Bob Probert
Years Active: 1982-2002
Bob Probert defined the term "goon" in the NHL, a player who can't contribute anything to the game and instead go out and just beat other players up. Probert was so feared that other teams would dress notorious fighters only when they played against Probert.
#4- Doug Gilmour
At only 5'11 and 175 pounds, Doug "Killer" Gilmour was still the toughest guy around. He was truly fearless and many would often consider his play a failure without blood trickling down his grinning face.
#3- Scott Stevens
Years Active: 1982-2004
Eric Lindros was nicknamed "The Next One" because he was supposed have the talent of Wayne Gretzky in the body of a pro wrestler. But we´ll never knows all thanks to Scott Stevens. During the 2000 NHL playoffs, Lindros was hit so hard by Steven's vicious shoulder blow (which many deem as a clean hit) that it essentially put a dagger to his once highly promising career. Stevens is one of the most intimidating blueline warriors ever.
#2- Mario Lemieux
Years Active: 1984-1997, 2000-2006
Anyone that can beat out cancer, let alone still play hockey at an elite level, is the toughest of all. Therefore, Mario Lemieux deserves a top spot on this list. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1992, Lemieux was sidelined for all of two months battling cancer. On the final day of his radiation treatment, he went out and scored a goal and an assist against Philadelphia. He also continued to be one of the game's all time greats for 10 more years.
#1- Gordie Howe
Years Active: 1946-1980, 1997
In 1997, a 69 year old Howe signed a one-game contract by the Detroit Vipers of the IHL returning to the ice for one shift.

Virtually all EDUCAUSE members are learning to deal with the explosive growth of networking, connecting every part of the campus community and linking to colleagues and information resources across the country and around the world. Many of the issues campuses are facing today relate to this proliferation of campuswide networks and Internet connectivity--free speech, censorship, student records privacy, data security standards, Social media use, and so forth.
Many institutions are moving toward establishing policies to deal with these issues. How do you know when you need a policy? How can we best share existing policies so we can learn from the work of our peers? Is it possible to create a model set of policies based on work that has already been done in this area? As a forum for facilitating the sharing and exchange of information, EDUCAUSE has indexed and abstracted many information policies contributed by member campuses to the Library, as well as articles, papers, and web sites related to campus information policy challenges. You can browse through the Library to see abstracts of policy documents, from which you can retrieve an electronic copy. For a full list of collected policies, see below.

'The Lumia 735, which of course runs Windows Phone, is pitched as the ultimate selfie phone thanks to an ultra-wide, 5-megapixel front-facing camera. '

'Granted, it's not a phone that stands out from the crowd but one that looks solid, dependable and by no means cheap.'
'HTC has taken a minimalist approach when designing the Desire 816.'
'My review handset was white, which did a pretty good job of hiding the fingerprints and smudges that will no doubt find plaguing the colour versions.'
'The 720x1280 resolution might be stretched thin over the 5.5in screen, but the resulting 267 pixels-per-inch is dense enough to deliver a solid viewing experience.'
'Footage is smooth, but again, you lose some detail in low light.'
'All told, the ZenFone 5 package is rather excellent. '
'Specs-wise, the Asus Zenfone 5 is a pretty interesting phone. '
'Video with the rear-camera was very disappointing, though.'
'Battery is weak.'
'The camera has problems in focussing on subjects and is slow as well.'

The game issimplestupid: you come up with a world that is different from ours in one (relatively major) way. You ask a question about that world (which doesn't have much to do with the world itself). Then the other person comes up with a ridiculous answer to the question, and comes up with a world and asks a question of their own. You can justify your answer, just make it equally nonsensical.
Person 1: In a world where pencils are the primary source of food, what are lamps made from?
Person 2: Dead elephants. In a world where everyone is forced to wear pink, where do cats typically live?
Person 3: Uganda.
Person 3 would then think of a world and a question.
To start: In a world where the consumption of popcorn is a sin, why are video games banned?
