TAITIME(3) BSD Programmer's Manual TAITIME(3)
tai_leaps, tai_isleap, timet2tai, tai2timet, utc2tai, tai2utc, mjd2tai, tai2mjd, mjd2tm, tm2mjd, tai_time, taina_time, exporttai, importtai - year-2038-safe leap second compliant 64 bit time functions
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/taitime.h> tai64_t tai_time(tai64_t *t); void taina_time(tai64na_t *t); tai64_t * tai_leaps(void); int tai_isleap(tai64_t t); tai64_t timet2tai(time_t tv); time_t tai2timet(tai64_t t); tai64_t utc2tai(int64_t t); int64_t tai2utc(tai64_t t); tai64_t mjd2tai(mjd_t mjd); mjd_t tai2mjd(tai64_t t); struct tm mjd2tm(mjd_t mjd); mjd_t tm2mjd(struct tm tm); void exporttai(u_int8_t *dst, tai64na_t *src); void importtai(u_int8_t *src, tai64na_t *dst);
The tai_time() and taina_time() functions return the current time in the TAI64 format into the tai64_t or tai64na_t variable pointed to by the t argument, if the argument is not NULL. Additionally, tai_time() returns the value. The tai64_t and tai64na_t data types are specified further below. The tai_leaps() function returns a pointer, which is guaranteed to be not NULL, to a zero-terminated array of tai64_t values, each denoting a posi- tive leap second. DJB says, negative leap seconds are not likely to hap- pen; if they should, a new interface will be published. This function uses a table which should be initialised with tzset() beforehand if mechanisms such as chroot(2) are employed. The tai_isleap() function returns 1 if t is known to be a (positive) leap second, 0 if otherwise. The timet2tai() and tai2timet() routines convert their argument between the TAI64 format and the time_t data type which is generally used in time keeping, for example by the gettimeofday(2) system call. Generally speak- ing, a time_t counts the number of real seconds that have happened since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (coordinated universal time). The utc2tai() and tai2utc() functions convert between the TAI64 format and an UTC value expressed as int64_t. The UTC value equals the time_t value as shown above, with the difference that not real seconds are counted, but seconds that would have happened if every full day had ex- actly 86400 seconds. Because there are leap seconds, in reality some days have 86401 and some 86399 seconds, that's why this format cannot be used for reliable time keeping (it is being used by the NTP protocol), but it's useful for conversion between calendar dates and second-counting dates. IEEE Std 1003.1 ("POSIX") compliant systems, unlike MirOS, force their time_t type and internal kernel time to be in this format, com- pletely ignoring the existence of leap seconds. The mjd2tai() and tai2mjd() functions convert between the TAI64 type and the MJD structure described further below, which keeps time in a calendar format. The mjd2tm() and tm2mjd() functions convert between the MJD structure and the more common struct tm as used by mktime(3). tm2mjd() converts the fields tm_sec, tm_min, tm_hour, tm_mday, tm_mon, tm_year, tm_gmtoff of struct tm; mjd2tm() fills the fields tm_sec, tm_min, tm_hour, tm_mday, tm_mon, tm_year, tm_wday, tm_yday with sensible values and tm_isdst, tm_gmtoff, tm_zone with null values. The exporttai() and importtai() functions convert between internal TAI64NA format and DJB-compatible on-the-wire TAI64NA/TAICLOCK format. See below for further documentation. The functions and data types described above are defined in the <time.h> header file. The data type tai64_t is aliased to int64_t. The data type tai64na_t includes the following fields: tai64_t secs; /* seconds (see below) */ uint32_t nano; /* nanoseconds */ uint32_t atto; /* attoseconds */ The data type mjd_t includes the following fields: time_t mjd; /* day of modified julian calendar */ int32_t sec; /* second within the day */
/usr/share/zoneinfo time zone information directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC default source of leap second information /usr/share/zoneinfo/posixrules alternative source of leap second infor- mation, if UTC is absent.
chroot(2), gettimeofday(2), mktime(3), ntpd(8), tzset(3)
This set of functions expects your operating system to not conform to IEEE Std 1003.1 ("POSIX") for correct time_t handling. The exported TAI64NA datatype and the TAI64 second offset have been stan- dardised by Dan J. Bernstein, see http://cr.yp.to/proto/utctai.html for a general overview of UTC, TAI and the NTP/POSIX problems, http://cr.yp.to/libtai/tai64.html for the various data types and http://cr.yp.to/proto/taiclock.txt for the specification of the on-wire TAICLOCK format, which contains the result of the exporttai() function in bytes 4 to 19.
The TAI function suite appeared in MirOS #8.
The original author of the TAI64 data types and the libtai library for TAI64 manipulation, which was placed into public domain, is Dan J. Bernstein <firstname.lastname@example.com>. The libc implementation of TAI64 functions are authored by Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
The libc TAI functions have different function names and data types (ex- cept the exported TAI64NA on-the-wire format) than the DJB libtai ones. This allows one to use both libraries at the same time. The functions are exchangable, it is feasible to patch djb libtai to use this set of func- tions provided by libc internally. A tai64_t value is, in contrast to time_t, not zero-based, but has a bias of __TAI64_BIAS, which is implementation-defined to 0x4000000000000000ULL for the MirOS operating system. You will have to be extra carefully when adding values of type tai64_t or storing time values versus time dis- tances in variables.
The leap second table is read from the timezone information file. This has implications on the location of the file and its up-to-dateness. There is no method to select POSIX-conformant behaviour. It's probably better this way, though. Few sanitising of values is done, but the functions are considered safe. MirOS BSD #10-current February 7, 2007 2

"I've never really been involved in shoe sales, but this is recognized as the best sports shoes, the quality of the past few years, but far from satisfactory, and I refuse to continue to go on like this." Jordan said.
If you cancel the partnership with Nike, Jordan, with trapeze LOGO engraved version probably will not exist yet? authentic cheap jordans simply replied thus: "From 2015 onwards, the brand will cease to exist, as to whether I would create another sportswear brand next thing anyone can say for sure what I want more out of time with?? accompany my new wife and a pair of twins. "
Jordan shoes, how popular? Sold more than the sum of active 5 starsAccording to "Forbes" website reported that only in 2013, cheap jordans for sale nationwide retail sales reached $ 2.25 billion. Sales in the shoes of the individual, a person of Father Joe's sales have retired, active duty than five superstars James (300 million), Durant (175 million), Kobe Bryant (50 million), Ross (40 million) sum Howard (5,000,000) of more than. And a pair of buy cheap jordans special color generation AJ10 engraved shoes, listed on the first day in the United States created the $ 35 million in sales, higher than Howard in sales a year.

If AJ brand really since no shoes fans will find it difficult to accept? In this regard, grew up watching Michael Jordan play grew 80 shoes fans said, "After all, we already have passed." Liu Bo said, "after all, just a series, even if not the cheap jordan shoes brand in the world, there are many brands for shoes, fans can gather, there are conditions really like people will naturally think of a way to purchase. I think this behavior is inherently favorites for a small minority. "

Wilkinson Eyre applied a host of innovative sustainability techniques to the construction of the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, which are two massive greenhouses that nurture a resplendent array of endangered plants from Mediterranean, Semi-Arid, and Tropical Montaine climates. The fragile gridshell structures are supported by a series of arches and fitted with a special kind of glass that optimizes lighting for the plants while mitigating excess solar gain so that they don't get too hot. The roof is also covered with sensor-operated retractable sails that automatically provide shade to the plants when the temperature inside the domes gets too high.
Using thermal stratification, Wilkinson Eyre ensured that only the occupied zones of the domes have to be cooled., thereby slashing energy consumption. This involved casting chilled water pipes into the floor, which keeps cool air low to the ground, while hot air rises and vents out of the upper part of the domes. Energy to power the Conservatories is generated on site in part by the solar Supertrees that have garnered so much of the attention, and a Combined Heat Power (CHP) steam turbine that is fed by horticultural waste from the Gardens and other parks around Singapore.
While singing its praises at the award ceremony, Finch said of the project, 'If they can cool these glasshouses through natural cooling, we should ask why it can't be done in other buildings?"

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Authorities have apprehended a 25-year-old inmate who escaped from a north-central Kansas jail over the weekend.
The Sedgwick County sheriff's office says in a release that Joseph Mosier was taken into custody early Wednesday when he surrendered to the Elk County sheriff's office. He's being held in the Sedgwick County jail.
Authorities say he escaped sometime over the weekend from the fenced-in exercise yard at the Osborne County Detention Center on charges from Sedgwick County. His disappearance wasn't noticed until a head count Sunday night.
He was originally being held on charges of burglary, criminal damage to property, attempted theft and parole violations.

Fell and Fair
33. Three Years Later
Three Years Later
Alone at the tiller as is my wont, I steer the last Elven ship westwards.
At Ulmo's behest, through the Ages I hallowed countless ships to steer the Straight Road.
But ne'er before have I sought this route.
One quiet command, and my trusty seamen reef the sails; our ship rises through the crystalline airs.
I never married — what need had I, with sea-lore and ship-craft to sustain me? My mariners were family enough.
The scions of Eärendil watch the seas of Ennor recede; they have kinfolk to greet in the West.
But I know not what awaits me there.
"There will be a place for you, Shipwright."
Lost in thought, I jump when Glorfindel appears at my elbow. I glower at the Noldo's presumption.
And his uncanny perception.
Unrepentant, he laughs, and launches into an Eressëan sea-shanty he taught me long ago. I grumble at the Quenya... but gradually feel my cares ebb.
Finally, I join my bass to his flowing tenor for the chorus:
O, fair winds or foul, may your vessel never stray
till you see fair Mindon's guiding beam from afar.
May Ossë conduct you, and Uinen see you home
to the lamplit quays of Avallónë!
Pacing around the deck, again peering westwards....
The stars look familiar — reassuring — though more brilliant since we traversed the Straight Way. Yet I cannot stand still to admire them.
I freeze. Galadriel's brush against my mind seems weak, tenuous... yet welcome as rain after searing drought.
I come, beloved!
Her relief, echoing my own, floods our link.
I need you, husband.
I am shocked at her frailty. Her emotions are raw; she yearns to see me, yet fears her self-control will fail.
Stay strong for me, Galadriel, just a while longer. I shall wait for you aboard, in private.

There is a huge list here http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html which as was noted, but the reason for there not being as big of a selection of either open or closed software on Linux is the same for any other program:
1) Is it niche software? If so, there will be less.
2) Linux doesn't have nearly as wide of desktop use as Windows, so there's less software.
The big advantage of Linux though is since it's open source, it will never go away. The open source software pool will stay, forever, unlike all the throw-away snack boxes which is the Windows software world.
Getting to the point though, as demand increases, both the open and closed CAD software for Linux will increase in quantity and quality as well.
You know, if all of the engineering labs from all the schools and colleges in the world got together and paid a tiny bit of money, they could easily fund, or build themselves, an awesome open source CAD program. Sad that there isn't more collaboration between groups with similar interests, huh?

Raze and Raise
Senior Member
Welcome all to my 2nd guide EVER called SYNERGY!!! And I'm REALLY EXCITED that no one has written about SYNERGY cuz i REALLY LIKE this subject. Thinkings about it makes me giggle. Why do you say??? CUZ ITS SO MUCH FREAKING FUN!!! ITS MEAN AND EVIL AND MAKES LITTLE BOYS CRY WITH THE LOOK OF WOE AND ANGUISH PAINTED ON THERE BABY FAT FACES. But cry not little boy, for I will show you the way of SYNERGY!!!
But Raze, what is synergy?
Synergy(in LOL) is the concept of using two or more champions/items/runes to give you an advantage you can use in a match.
Ever had a peanutbutter sandwich? How about a jelly sandwich? Did you know when you mix the two, its called PB&J? Do you know how much PB&J Absolutely ROCKS?? THAT'S SYNERGY BABY, and its freaking beautiful.
Now before i start with how it it works, let me just say how it doesn't work. Adding more peanut butter to a peanut butter sandwich does not make it a pb&pb. That's lame. You don't get synergy by using two healing champions, you just get alot of heals. Synergy its taking two DIFFERENT ABILITIES and making them WAY BETTER by ADDING THEM TOGETHER. If you can get two champions that have a lot of abilities that synergies together, then you have a match made in heaven.
Example #1 Alistar and Poppy ( When Bull meets Butch, things get routey)
If you take this combo into the top or bottom lane from the start, then you can get the easiest kill in the world at level 2.
Sit in the bush, wait for them to push, don't touch the creeps so at the least they are in the middle of the lane grabbing XP. Alistar has to get his Pulverize and Headbutt. Poppy has to grab her Heroic Charge and Devastating Blow (some of you guys are already grinning). When you can, have Alistar go out and Head butt one person to the wall, Then poppy slams the same person to that same wall with her charge.Alistar should then stun them after they move. Poppy auto attacks during both stuns till they move one last time,and then she bashes them with her mega hammer smash, you should notice that there is no more moving.
You want to drag the stuns out as long as possible so Alistar's passive (Trample: does 10 damage per second at lvl 1) can take them down as much as possible and so poppy can get some free hits in. If they do not die from this combo, step away, they are Chuck Norris, and you might have pissed him off.
What makes this an example of synergy is Placement. Poppy's charge is very placement oriented and has a bit of a short range. Alistar's head butt, on the other hand, has mega range, allowing him to setup poppy up for the stun, which sets Alistar up for his stun, which sets poppy up for her bash. Its a very Long chain that is very Hard to avoid. If Alistar is in the bush and they pass in front of him or near him, the combo will go off. Meaning they have to keep back to live, which means they lose XP, meaning you have one of the greatest zone control in the early game.
And then, later on, when both of you have you're level 6, you can dive, AND LIVE, AND GET A KILL. THERE'S NO WHERE THEY CAN HIDE!!!! Either have poppy or Alistar go around back, pop their ult, and stun them (it is better to use Alistar for this since poppy has to slam them into tower or wall to have them stunned which can get tricky). After that burn thru your CDs and someone should die. If they are being supported and its taking to long,Then Get Out BEFORE your ult dies. If you have a jungle have them join the person starting the fight from behind.
Note: Raze and Raise with not take blame for any rage quits or b-fits cause by you tower diving. You should never tower dive, ever.
Example #2 Singed and Cassiopeia (MOAR DOTS PLZ)
This one is simple and sweet, Singed and Cassiopeia. The way this works is straight up Zone Control, and when they break you're zone they pay DEARLY (Like, they die, and stuff...).
First off, Cass has long range spells that can soft-block(makes people not want to walk that way) off an area with a 7 second poison aoe or place a splash aoe down that can control their movements (if they are smart enough to avoid the damage), when they mess up Cass deals poison damage over time(DOTS). I would call this soft lane control because if they are good at dancing and predicting, they can dodge your abilities and still farm pretty well.
But Signed, He's Crazy Man. You don't walk into this dogs turf, the second you do he will be on you like white on rice in a glass of milk on a Dixie plate. He tosses you back into a nice patch of poison that you now have walkr thru. AND THAT'S WHEN IT GETS FUN!!!
Cass has a little spells called Twin Fang. The fang does little damage on its own, but when it hits a target that is POISONED, the cool down resets, allowing her to cast it again, turning it into "THE FANG". Normally when Cass is the only one with poison, you have to cast a spell, wait for it to hit an enemy, and Then you'll get 2 or 3 shots off before the poison drops. BUT WITH SINGED YOU DON'T NEED TO CAST ANYTHING BUT THE FANG. Once's they step into the dog house, there's no coming out alive.
Right off the bat, when Singed get's his toss off, Lay down your two AOE spells ( Miasma will slow them down and Noxious Blast will speed you up if you hit the champions, so don't miss) so they are taking 3 DOTS at one time, That's a lot of DOTS. And then THE FANG can be put on straight Auto Cast making it the best DOT that LoL can offer without people blitzkrieg their Forums and Emails.Once this combo starts SPAM IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT. As they try to out run singed and jump out of his poison, they are losing hp at an INCREDIBLE RATE ( 1.21 gigawatts? GREAT SCOTT). Its moar dots then you could ask for.
Intermediate Synergy for Champions
Ok, so you have a few games under your belt, maybe you consider yourself to be pretty BA. Little gimmicks and tricks don't win games anymore. You need soild team fighting synergy to take you and your team to the finish line. I suggest you start looking outside the box.
By now you should understand that Every champion can be played well and played effectively. Every champion has their quirk. That there is no win all team build. So don't black list any champion when searching for good synergy. Also, when it comes to solo ranked, you have to pick off of your team mates choices as much as off your list of favorite champions, don't just grab a champion cuz you want kills, you are better then that.
Now, Let me open your eyes. Let me show you what's underneith it all. Let me show you what Synergy can really do.
There are no more straight forward examples here, I'm gonna keep it broad so you understand that this pertains to a broad selection of champions. I will give suggestions and tips on how to play with synergy, how to complement teams, how to give you the edge.
Example #1 Range (Cross that line, I DARE YOU!)
RANGE IS AWESOME, RANGE IS GREAT, RANGE IS YOUR FRIEND!!! And with synergy it can become a weapon of endless torment.
What you are looking for here is a team with a few good range champions with DECENT if not AWESOME quick skill shots that have range enough to keep them out of trouble. Ashe Cait Ezreal, they are just afew of them. And then add in 1 champion that will make people PAY for coming too close. Alistar Karthus Veiger, again, just a few example,many champions can fill this role. For the sake of elaborating on how this synergy should work, I'm going to pick three out of the lists above and tell you how they can work together.
Cait Ashe and Karthus
All three of these ranged champs can deal damage without being dealt damage. You pick a lane and either push or defend. Someone shows up you can pop them in the face and then move back. Free damage.
Let me paint you a picture. You got both teams on both sides of the lane, maybe a few guys off in the distance waiting for their time to strike. You keep sending damage their way and little by little their hp goes down. If someone moves forward, Ashe slows them down, making them back off. Cait is laying traps left and right to keep them from wanting to advance. Karthus is on stand-by, waiting for someone to mess up.
Then boom, it happens. Someone jumps out of a bush and and the fights starts, the other team is moving in...
Karthus, at this point, can lay down Wall of Pain. The whole advancing team has just been slowed down to a crawl, on top of that their damage resistance is EXTREMELY COMPROMISED. If the tank on your team does he's job and keeps the initators off the range's backs ( Kinda hard to do with ashe there, people seem to be drawn to her, umm, 'back'), they can Easily target one squishy down before the fight really starts. The rest of the enemy team will have to go thru traps, nets, and Ashe's Multiple list of Arrow Tricks to get to you. They are getting shredded away while moving down the feild at a snail's pace. Once one or two of them turn tail then You Still have Cait's and Karthus ult to pick them off.
Now i understand that what i described is a bit dramatic, and there are a lot of counters to this. Everyone on the other team could get cleanse and it would be like bringing an ignite to a healing party. But the point of this setup is that its not easy to see. Your teammates might not even notice it. Or the enemies' team might say They have a lot of ranges champions, who cares, grab some fatties to get in their face and go go go.
The point of this is to make them pay for starting a fight with you with their blood by stalling them with far reaching stuns, slows and disables, and make them pay for not starting a fight with you by harassing them hard core. Its simple and sweet.
Example #2 AOE Advantages ( Hug me, I'm lonely)
Now, I'm not saying to get a team with nothing but aoe, that's stupid. But there are some Key combos out there that a lot of you know about and a lot of you don't. I'm gonna list a few of them and give a quick explanation on how they work.
Fiddle and Amumu - A lot of you know this one, and a lot of you know this can fail Hard. The enemy team is sure to know its going to happen and will avoid it at all cost. Amumu pops off his ult, Fiddle jumps in with his Ults, Fiddle tosses out some wind that can bounce, Amumu cries and throws a fit. Both of them can reduce Magic resist, Both of them have mega aoe damage. Fiddle is as good as dead once Amumu's ult ends but by the time it does, your team might have enough of an advantage to not care.
Galio and Malz- Galios AOE taunt ( Idol of Duran) will keep them pinned, and Malz can lay down his Null Zone without getting too close to the main group . On top of that, anyone Malz decides to use his ultimate, Nether Grasp, on is as good as dead. A good portion if not the whole team will be completely Screwed. Afterwards Malz can cast Call of the Void to give everyone an extra second or two to deal damage before the other team can really react. If they decide to run, and if Galio is alive, then Galio can slow them down with Resolute Smite and speed up the whole team to chase them down with Righteous Gust.
Jarvan and Soin- I know what you are thinking, They are both enemies, Both SWORN to kill each other, but Both of them have a lot in common.Both of them have disables to use in a fight (Dragon Strike/ Demacian Standard & Cryptic Gaze) Both of them have Aoe Damage ( Cataclysm & Death's Caress ) But here is alittle extra bonus. When Jarv drops Demacian standard, he gives everyone attack speed and armor who is around the flag's aoe. While Soin can pop Enrage and Cannibalism. Soin will get the benefits of the flag, causing him to heal everyone and take a little less damage while he has Cannibalism Popped. Each little piece in this partnership doesn't do a lot on its own, But when its all put together it does ODDLES, tipping the scale into your favor, as long as you can keep the bickering outside of the ring.
Come on now, do I have to give you all my tricks???
Advanced synergy is when you come up with it on your own. Did that guy just pick Panth??? Did he just pick Corki??? I wonder what would happen if i got Taric or JANNA!!!!!!!!!
COME ON PEOPLE! Have some fun with this, and trust me when you find one that works your gonna tell all your friends about this one match you had where you and a random took on 5 people in the jungle and made them rage quit. It takes testing and thinking outside of the box. Some can be subtle, some will be obvious, but the more synergy you have on your team the better chance you have at winning.
If you give me a good one, and post how it works IN DETAIL. I will added it below the main post.
If you give me a bad one, i'll laught and point my fingers at it, BUT I'LL KEEP IT TO MYSELF, I PROMISE!!!
really cool post +1
Anivia's Frostbite does double damage when enemy is chilled
Ashe's Frost Shot + Nunu's Ice Blast chills
gg don't even need flash frost
Morde/Alistar + Soraka = turret by 6 minutes, alistar being the preferred.
Instead of last hitting, just push all the way up to the turret, smack it a few times, retreat and heal, and repeat. If they try to hit alistar while he's pounding the turret, soraka heals him, reatreat at half life and both heal each other and repeat until turret drops. 3 wards are needed, 1 in front of baron/dragon (depending on whether you're top or bot), 1 in the bush entering into the lane close to your turret, the other in the bush entering the lane close to their turret. ganks are nearly guaranteed so this will prevent that.
Lux + Cho'Gath is stupid good.
Maokai + Kat
Oh, look, we're way over here, don't worry about....ROOTED! Kat comes in, death lotus.
TF + Shen
What...what can we do? They're everywhere!
Trundle + Ali
You know what's worse than having to escape from a contaminated area though pillar of filth? Having to do it twice.
Sion and Taric. The world's most painful lane.
I remember one time in a solo game, there was a three-man premade. We had no jungler, but they told us that the three of them would go in one lane. They were: Blitzcrank, Sion, and Alistar. Bottom lane was raped by them

POSTED: Saturday, January 5, 2013 - 10:00pm
UPDATED: Saturday, January 5, 2013 - 10:04pm
CNN — While Republicans this week have already begun to lace up their fighting gloves for the upcoming battles over debt and spending, President Barack Obama used his weekly address Saturday to draw his own lines.
"One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they've already racked up. If Congress refuses to give the United States the ability to pay its bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy could be catastrophic," Obama said.
He made similar remarks in his statement after Congress passed late Tuesday night a scaled-back fiscal cliff deal, one that critics say failed to address the country's spending issues. The government must deal with at least three debt and budget issues in the coming months, including a vote on raising the debt ceiling.
The mini-cliffs, as some have called them, are almost sure to be met with partisanship and gridlock as seen in recent fiscal showdowns between Congress and the White House.
Obama did say he believes the government can find spending cuts "without shortchanging things like education, job training, research and technology" but insisted such negotiations should cast aside "the messy brinksmanship in Congress."
"If we focus on the interests of our country above the interests of party, I'm convinced we can cut spending and raise revenue in a manner that reduces our deficit and protects the middle class," he said.
In the weekly Republican address, Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, faulted Obama and congressional Democrats for not working hard enough to incorporate meaningful spending cuts in the fiscal cliff deal.
While Democrats argue the debt ceiling must be raised so the government can borrow money to pay its bills, Republicans argue that continually increasing the debt limit is no way to solve the country's spending problem.
"That position is irresponsible and fails to acknowledge what every family in America already knows - when you have no more money in your account and your credit cards are maxed out, then the spending must stop," Camp said, echoing similar comments made this week by House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas even suggested a partial government shutdown could be in order.
"It may be necessary to partially shut down the government in order to secure the long-term fiscal well being of our country, rather than plod along the path of Greece, Italy and Spain," Cornyn wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.
Meanwhile, Camp said in the GOP address that it was time to "to stand up and say 'enough is enough' to those who would tax and spend even more" and called on Obama to join Republicans in their efforts to "fight wasteful Washington."

Bidding under way for Schilling's bloody sock
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Bidding is under way for the bloody sock worn by former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling in the 2004 World Series, which he put up for sale after the high-profile collapse of his video game company.
38 Studios was lured to Providence from Massachusetts after Rhode Island's economic development agency in 2010 approved a $75 million loan guarantee. Less than two years later, 38 Studios ran out of money, laid off all its employees and filed for bankruptcy. Rhode Island is now likely on the hook for some $100 million related to the deal, when interest is factored in.

I'm not sure what your point is. I've drawn a picture of a standard-issue NASA MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit), used by NASA for decades now, with an astronaut in it. I chose an MMU with a camera attached to it (as in the picture you posted, but not specifically from the picture you posted), as I wanted it with the camera as the "source" of my astronaut's self-portrait.
It's like drawing a picture of a Corvette. You've got to look at pictures of Corvettes to semi-accurately draw what a Corvette looks like.
It should be pretty obvious that I didn't use the photo you've posted (or any other one out there) - the planet and nebula is one generated in Bryce 3D and Photoshop, and it is drawn with the reflection of my sun image (and a reflection of the reflecting ball) in it. The shading is also completely different (I added very little shading at all to my drawing, as the light source - the sun - is right in front of the astronaut).
Also, maybe your Google-fu is better than mine, but all of the pictures I can find are completely and totally different than the one reflected in the ball. NASA makes its photos public, as well, so there's no chance I took my own private picture to work from, either.
So I'm not sure what your point is.

Quality pamperment!
It doesn't show FreeBSD is slower than Linux, all it is is utterly pointless. RCs of most OSs (Ubuntu is a bit of an exception here rather than the norm) have so many debug flags and stuff set which use so much CPU time that it's stupid to benchmark it.
yeah, FreeBSD the truck. More like, FreeBSD the broken bicycle.
I don't think FreeBSD should be compared with Ubuntu. It's not fair for Linux since Ubuntu is a desktop distro, not the first choice for servers and workstations.
FreeBSD went through huge changes in the design in 5.x, which made it actually slower than 4.x, AFAIR. But, since then it was improved constantly, with each release.
This is a more recent benchmark, targeted on the SMP code:
It is mostly a benchmark of FreeBSD versions and DragonflyBSD, but Linux kernels were used too. Now, that particular Linux kernel is rather old, so I expect some changes in newer releases, but still I hope it will shut you up for now.
I honestly expect better results from 8.0 RELEASE, compared to 7.2 RELEASE, knowing how careful the guys from FreeBSD are with the releases.

Giving back and getting cache
Geocachers pick up trash in Earth Day event
Everywhere Dick Lorenz goes he's on the lookout for cache. Like anyone else, he thinks finding money is cool. But that's not what he's hunting for.Lorenz is a geocacher. He and millions of others like him hunt for small waterproof containers using GPS. A geocache contains a logbook with information about geocachers who've successfully hunted it. After signing the log, the cache is put back exactly where the person found it.Lorenz has signed the logs in 1,180 caches in 46 states and several different countries. He was in Dell Rapids Saturday with about 20 other geocachers from across the region collecting caches in a special International Earth Day event. Geocachers were participating in the Cache In Trash Out environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Instead of hunting for caches, geocachers picked up garbage and cleaned up the Dells and the banks of the Big Sioux River and received credits for caches for their online register.
Lorenz said geocaching is a treasure hunt, of sorts, and is an activity that the whole family can be come involved.Caches are hidden in parks, recreation areas and other publicly accessed spaces around the world. Of the 1.6 million caches scattered across the globe, about 40 are in and around Dell Rapids. There are hundreds more in Sioux Falls.

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
I rescued a black kitty years ago who was living on the streets. She became the best cat I ever owned. Even when I had to give her injections in her neck for kidney failure and hold her while the bag drip drip dripped, she laid still and calm, knowing I was helping her. She slept in the crook of my arm every night, while I held her back foot, which made me feel connected. She gave me the best kitty kisses too and nibbled my arm when whe wanted to show affection. After she passed at the age of 16, the first thing I did was go to the Humane Society and adopt another one. She has many similar traits...very smart, loving, and she comes when she's called as did my former black cat. I'll always own black cats, they are the best!
The myth is definitely not true. For one, witches don't sacrifice animals, that's a huge misconception. Secondly, black cats are just like other loving kitties and need good homes as well. I absolutely adore my black kitty, Spooky. He's a wonderful companion and very loving. I wouldn't trade him in for any other cat. :)
I am blessed with having 3 black cats. All were rescues that I took off of the streets. They are so loving and so smart. They are friendlier than my other cats. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
We have 2 black cats in our family. Both are very special to us. The oldest is Cletus and he came from a horrible pet store in the mall. We were not looking for a cat at the time, but we passed the windows and saw a kitten that was to tiny to be there. We went in and ask to see him. That poor kitten was almost starved to death! We paid the $25.00 and took him to the vet. There we learned that he was bearley 4 weeks old. He was put on antibiotics, a bottle, given his shots and sent home with us. We fell in love! He's been with us for 12 wonderful, joyful and loyal years! He is our baby. Jada was rescued off the streets as a little kitten. She was in our friends garage and would not let anyone touch her! She had been chased by all the neighborhood children trying to catch her, so she was terrified! I called my husband to help, he just walks up and picks her up. Jada has been his his cat since then. She is 6 years old now. Fiesty, playful, and full of spunk! We love both of our black cats very much and can not imagine our family with out them!
By the way, I'm glad to report that the mall pet store has been shut down!
Twelve years ago, I adopted a black kitten. Pixie has been the sweetest, most affectionate cat I've ever known. She is also beautiful. I would advise anyone who loves cats to adopt a black one.
I adopted my black cat Dixie from a shelter, I had gone there looking for a friend for my cat Migo. I went there looking for a boy cat, and I am partial to red cats, but the lady convinced me to give her a try, she was right. Dixie is so smart that I always say I should put her in the movies and my husband and I could retire!
I adopted a black kitten about 8 years ago, (along with her companion). She pretty much adopted me. I went to the shelter to meet the kittens and she immediately jumped into my lap. I knew she was going home with me at that moment. The second night I had her, she curled up on my shoulder and fell asleep. She constantly purrs and, no pun intended, is my shadow. She is so friendly and has a very sweet disposition. I am so glad she picked me.
I own 3 black cats. They all came as strays to my home! I am so glad that I "adopted" them. They are very loving & sweet!!!
We have three black kitties, one found us and he's the smartest cat ive ever had. The other two were rescues because I knew Noone would take them in they are both black and blind . They are amazing cats..I'm forever hooked on black kitties now.
My husband and I adopted a black kitten, with gorgeous lime green eyes, in May 2011 and he has quite the personality! We already had 2 female cats so adding a male cat would make for an interesting change in the family dynamic. I always wanted a black and when I saw little Diego for adoption, I couldn't resist!
Diego is so loving - he wants to sit in our laps while we are at the computer, he loves to lay on my chest when I'm relaxing on the couch and he happily joins me for afternoon naps on the weekend. He makes the coolest little noises and chirps - especially when we arrive home! He greets me with a kitty version of "hello!" after a long day at the office. He follows my husband around the house, cries out when he leaves and will even wait at the front door for him to return. We often warn our house guests that Diego likes to play "paw" under the bathroom door so don't be alarmed if you see his little black paws reaching in! It is so hilarious!
I cannot imagine life with out Diego - he is one in a million! Black cats are AWESOME!
