4.a. Introduction to Block Devices
Block Devices
We'll take a good look at disk-oriented aspects of Gentoo Linux
and Linux in general, including Linux filesystems, partitions and block devices.
Then, once you're familiar with the ins and outs of disks and filesystems,
you'll be guided through the process of setting up partitions and filesystems
for your Gentoo Linux installation.
To begin, we'll introduce block devices. The most famous block device is
probably the one that represents the first IDE drive in a Linux system, namely
/dev/hda. If your system uses SCSI drives, then your first hard
drive would be /dev/sda.
The block devices above represent an abstract interface to the disk. User
programs can use these block devices to interact with your disk without worrying
about whether your drives are IDE, SCSI or something else. The program can
simply address the storage on the disk as a bunch of contiguous,
randomly-accessible 512-byte blocks.
Partitions and Slices
Although it is theoretically possible to use a full disk to house your Linux
system, this is almost never done in practice. Instead, full disk block devices
are split up in smaller, more manageable block devices. On amd64 systems,
these are called partitions.
Partitions are divided in three types:
primary, extended and logical.
A primary partition is a partition which has its information stored in
the MBR (master boot record). As an MBR is very small (512 bytes) only four
primary partitions can be defined (for instance, /dev/hda1 to
An extended partition is a special primary partition (meaning the
extended partition must be one of the four possible primary partitions) which
contains more partitions. Such a partition didn't exist originally, but as
four partitions were too few, it was brought to life to extend the formatting
scheme without losing backward compatibility.
A logical partition is a partition inside the extended partition. Their
definitions aren't placed inside the MBR, but are declared inside the extended
4.b. Designing a Partitioning Scheme
Default Partitioning Scheme
If you are not interested in drawing up a partitioning scheme for your system,
you can use the partitioning scheme we use throughout this book:
If you are interested in knowing how big a partition (or logical
volume) should be, or even how many partitions (or volumes) you need, read on.
Otherwise continue with Using fdisk to Partition your
How Many and How Big?
The number of partitions is highly dependent on your environment. For instance,
if you have lots of users, you will most likely want to have your
/home separate as it increases security and makes backups easier.
If you are installing Gentoo to perform as a mailserver, your
/var should be separate as all mails are stored inside
/var. A good choice of filesystem will then maximise your
performance. Gameservers will have a separate /opt as most gaming
servers are installed there. The reason is similar for /home:
security and backups. You will definitely want to keep /usr big:
not only will it contain the majority of applications, the Portage tree alone
takes around 500 Mbyte excluding the various sources that are stored in it.
As you can see, it very much depends on what you want to achieve. Separate
partitions or volumes have the following advantages:
However, multiple partitions have one big disadvantage: if not configured
properly, you might result in having a system with lots
of free space on one partition and none on another. There is also a 15-partition
limit for SCSI and SATA.
As an example partitioning, we show you one for a 20GB disk, used as a
demonstration laptop (containing webserver, mailserver, gnome, ...):
Koodilistaus 2.1: Filesystem usage example
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 ext3 509M 132M 351M 28% /
/dev/hda2 ext3 5.0G 3.0G 1.8G 63% /home
/dev/hda7 ext3 7.9G 6.2G 1.3G 83% /usr
/dev/hda8 ext3 1011M 483M 477M 51% /opt
/dev/hda9 ext3 2.0G 607M 1.3G 32% /var
/dev/hda1 ext2 51M 17M 31M 36% /boot
/dev/hda6 swap 516M 12M 504M 2% <not mounted>
(Unpartitioned space for future usage: 2 GB)
/usr is rather full (83% used) here, but once
all software is installed, /usr doesn't tend to grow that much.
For /var, people might think the assigned
space is too much. However, Gentoo compiles all programs inside
/var/tmp/portage, so you should have /var with at
least 1G free if you don't want to compile big programs and at least 3G free if
compiling KDE or OpenOffice.org is no big deal for you.
4.c. Using fdisk to Partition your Disk
The following parts explain how to create the example partition layout
described previously, namely:
Change your partition layout according to your own preference.
Viewing the Current Partition Layout
fdisk is a popular and powerful tool to split your disk into partitions.
Fire up fdisk on your disk (in our example, we use
Koodilistaus 3.1: Starting fdisk
# fdisk /dev/hda
Once in fdisk, you'll be greeted with a prompt that looks like this:
Koodilistaus 3.2: fdisk prompt
Command (m for help):
Type p to display your disk's current partition configuration:
Koodilistaus 3.3: An example partition configuration
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 2184 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 14 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 15 49 264600 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 50 70 158760 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 71 2184 15981840 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 71 209 1050808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 210 348 1050808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 349 626 2101648+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 627 904 2101648+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 905 2184 9676768+ 83 Linux
Command (m for help):
This particular disk is configured to house seven Linux filesystems (each with a
corresponding partition listed as "Linux") as well as a swap partition (listed
as "Linux swap").
Removing all Partitions
We will first remove all existing partitions from the disk. Type d to
delete a partition. For instance, to delete an existing /dev/hda1:
Koodilistaus 3.4: Deleting a partition
Command (m for help): d
Partition number (1-4): 1
The partition has been scheduled for deletion. It will no longer show up if you
type p, but it will not be erased until your changes have been saved. If
you made a mistake and want to abort without saving your changes, type q
immediately and hit enter and your partition will not be deleted.
Now, assuming that you do indeed want to wipe out all the partitions on your
system, repeatedly type p to print out a partition listing and then type
d and the number of the partition to delete it. Eventually, you'll end
up with a partition table with nothing in it:
Koodilistaus 3.5: An empty partition table
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3876 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
Command (m for help):
Now that the in-memory partition table is empty, we're ready to create the
partitions. We will use a default partitioning scheme as discussed previously.
Of course, don't follow these instructions to the letter if you don't want the
same partitioning scheme!
Creating the Boot Partition
We first create a small boot partition. Type n to create a new partition,
then p to select a primary partition, followed by 1 to select the
first primary partition. When prompted for the first cylinder, hit enter. When
prompted for the last cylinder, type +32M to create a partition 32 Mbyte
in size:
Koodilistaus 3.6: Creating the boot partition
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-3876, default 1): (Hit Enter)
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-3876, default 3876): +32M
Now, when you type p, you should see the following partition printout:
Koodilistaus 3.7: Created boot partition
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3876 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 14 105808+ 83 Linux
We need to make this partition bootable. Type a to toggle the bootable
flag on a partition and select 1. If you press p again, you will
notice that an * is placed in the "Boot" column.
Creating the Swap Partition
Let's now create the swap partition. To do this, type n to create a new
partition, then p to tell fdisk that you want a primary partition. Then
type 2 to create the second primary partition, /dev/hda2 in
our case. When prompted for the first cylinder, hit enter. When prompted for
the last cylinder, type +512M to create a partition 512MB in size. After
you've done this, type t to set the partition type, 2 to select
the partition you just created and then type in 82 to set the partition
type to "Linux Swap". After completing these steps, typing p should
display a partition table that looks similar to this:
Koodilistaus 3.8: Partition listing after creating a swap partition
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3876 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 14 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 15 81 506520 82 Linux swap
Creating the Root Partition
Finally, let's create the root partition. To do this, type n to create a
new partition, then p to tell fdisk that you want a primary partition.
Then type 3 to create the third primary partition, /dev/hda3
in our case. When prompted for the first cylinder, hit enter. When prompted for
the last cylinder, hit enter to create a partition that takes up the rest of the
remaining space on your disk. After completing these steps, typing p
should display a partition table that looks similar to this:
Koodilistaus 3.9: Partition listing after creating the root partition
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3876 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 14 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 15 81 506520 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 82 3876 28690200 83 Linux
Saving the Partition Layout
To save the partition layout and exit fdisk, type w.
Koodilistaus 3.10: Save and exit fdisk
Command (m for help): w
Now that your partitions are created, you can now continue with Creating Filesystems.
4.d. Creating Filesystems
Now that your partitions are created, it is time to place a filesystem on them.
If you don't care about what filesystem to choose and are happy with what we use
as default in this handbook, continue with Applying a Filesystem to a Partition.
Otherwise read on to learn about the available filesystems...
Several filesystems are available. Some of them are found stable on the amd64
architecture, others aren't. The following filesystems are found to be stable:
ext2 and ext3. jfs and reiserfs may work but need more testing. If you're really
adventurous you can try the unsupported filesystems.
ext2 is the tried and true Linux filesystem but doesn't have metadata
journaling, which means that routine ext2 filesystem checks at startup time can
be quite time-consuming. There is now quite a selection of newer-generation
journaled filesystems that can be checked for consistency very quickly and are
thus generally preferred over their non-journaled counterparts. Journaled
filesystems prevent long delays when you boot your system and your filesystem
happens to be in an inconsistent state.
ext3 is the journaled version of the ext2 filesystem, providing metadata
journaling for fast recovery in addition to other enhanced journaling modes like
full data and ordered data journaling. ext3 is a very good and reliable
filesystem. It has an additional hashed b-tree indexing option that enables
high performance in almost all situations. You can enable this indexing by
adding -O dir_index to the mke2fs command. In short, ext3 is an
excellent filesystem.
ReiserFS is a B*-tree based filesystem that has very good overall
performance and greatly outperforms both ext2 and ext3 when dealing with small
files (files less than 4k), often by a factor of 10x-15x. ReiserFS also scales
extremely well and has metadata journaling. As of kernel 2.4.18+, ReiserFS is
solid and usable as both general-purpose filesystem and for extreme cases such
as the creation of large filesystems, the use of many small files, very large
files and directories containing tens of thousands of files.
XFS is a filesystem with metadata journaling which comes with a robust
feature-set and is optimized for scalability. We only recommend using this
filesystem on Linux systems with high-end SCSI and/or fibre channel storage and
an uninterruptible power supply. Because XFS aggressively caches in-transit data
in RAM, improperly designed programs (those that don't take proper precautions
when writing files to disk and there are quite a few of them) can lose a good
deal of data if the system goes down unexpectedly.
JFS is IBM's high-performance journaling filesystem. It has recently
become production-ready and there hasn't been a sufficient track record to
comment positively nor negatively on its general stability at this point.
Applying a Filesystem to a Partition
To create a filesystem on a partition or volume, there are tools available for
each possible filesystem:
For instance, to have the boot partition (/dev/hda1 in our
example) in ext2 and the root partition (/dev/hda3 in our example)
in ext3 (as in our example), you would use:
Koodilistaus 4.1: Applying a filesystem on a partition
# mke2fs /dev/hda1
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda3
Now create the filesystems on your newly created partitions.
Activating the Swap Partition
mkswap is the command that is used to initialize swap partitions:
Koodilistaus 4.2: Creating a Swap signature
# mkswap /dev/hda2
To activate the swap partition, use swapon:
Koodilistaus 4.3: Activating the swap partition
# swapon /dev/hda2
Create and activate the swap now.
4.e. Mounting
Now that your partitions are initialized and are housing a filesystem, it is
time to mount those partitions. Use the mount command. Don't forget to
create the necessary mount directories for every partition you created. As an
example we mount the root and boot partition:
Due to a bug in the e2fsprogs package, you need to explicitly use
the mount -t ext3 option if you are using an ext3 filesystem.
Koodilistaus 5.1: Mounting partitions
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
(For ext3 partitions:)
# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
If you want your /tmp to reside on a separate partition, be sure to
change its permissions after mounting: chmod 1777 /mnt/gentoo/tmp. This
also holds for /var/tmp.
We will also have to mount the proc filesystem (a virtual interface with the
kernel) on /proc. But first we will need to place our files on the partitions.

The John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program provides voluntary technical assistance to farmers, farm groups, and agribusinesses in developing and transitional countries to promote sustainable improvements in food security and agricultural processing, production, and marketing. The program relies on the expertise of volunteers from U.S. farms, land grant universities, cooperatives, private agribusinesses, and nonprofit farm organizations to respond to the local needs of host-country farmers and organizations. Volunteers, recruited from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, generally are not overseas development professionals, but rather individuals who have domestic careers, farms, and agribusinesses, or are retirees who want to participate in development efforts.
The Farmer-to-Farmer Program was initially authorized by Congress in the 1985 Farm Bill and funded through Title V of Public Law 480. The U.S. Congress authorized the current FY 2009-2013 phase of the program in the 2008 Farm Bill, designating it the "John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program" in honor of one of the pilots killed September 11, 2001 and of former Congressman Bereuter, who initially sponsored the program.
Evaluations suggest that the program provides high quality services from volunteers, leveraging over $34 million worth of volunteer time contributions to development efforts. Approximately one million farmer families (representing about five million people) have directly benefitted from the Farmer-to-Farmer Program. Volunteers help host individuals and organizations build local institutions and linkages to resolve local problems and have provided direct hands-on training to over 80,000 people. Since program initiation, over 12,000 volunteer assignments have been completed in over 80 countries. Approximately 43% of all individuals trained by Farmer-to-Farmer volunteers are women.
Examples of Volunteer Assignments
Partners of the Americas
- Haiti Forestry/Erosion Prevention: Farmer-to-Farmer volunteer Norm Bezona helped to establish a bamboo cultivation project in 1999 to help local Haitian farmers combat erosion. Since its inception, the project has completed two phases – introduction and propagation of new species and education of farmers as to the multiple benefits of bamboo; and second, expansion to include additional NGOs and interested agricultural groups in other regions, and distribution of the plants to individual farmers/collaborating groups for nursery and communal reforestation projects. On his first trip, Mr. Bezona delivered 200 plants representing 12 bamboo varieties donated by the Quindembo Nursery in Hawaii. Since his inaugural visit, Bezona has traveled to Haiti three times to expand the reach of the project. Propagation techniques such as root division and branch cuttings have since generated over 40,000 plants from these original 200. Fifteen thousand bamboo plants have already been distributed throughout the country – 50% of these have been used for the rehabilitation of soils on riverbanks, ravines and protected natural areas. The other half was delivered to collaborating organizations and individual farmers. Of the 2,000 farmers who received plants, most farm one to two hectares of land and state they have planted 50% of the bamboo plants for construction, 25% for crafts and 25% for erosion control and reforestation.
Winrock International
- Bangladesh Dairy Feed: Land is scarce in this densely populated and disaster prone country and therefore, grazing land for livestock is shrinking day by day. Also, due to poor genetic potential of milking cows coupled with non-availability of balanced supplemental feed, the national average milk production in Bangladesh has remained very low (in the range of 1.5-3.0 liters per cow per day). In this backdrop, FTF volunteer Dr. Roy Chapin helped to develop the first dairy feed program in Bangladesh, which included developing a computer assisted program for formulating rations for lactating cows, a calf starter ration and a ration for growing heifers. "Making dairy feed is the intermediate step in having more milk, meat, money and manure produced in Bangladesh so people there will have more protein, energy, vitamins and minerals in their diets, more money in their pockets and more rice straw converted to fertilizers to increase soil fertility", Dr. Chapin mentioned in his comments after the assignment. In practice, feed produced following Chapin's formulation is showing highly encouraging results with an average increase in milk production by around 40%, which means, the cow that earlier gave an average of 5 liters milk per day, now with Chapin formulated feed is giving 7 liters. Feed production plant manager Mohammad Khasru and marketing officer Jadu Gopal in a recent interview mentioned that demand for their dairy feed is increasing and the marketing horizon is gradually being widened to cover most of the strategic dairy pockets in northern, eastern and north eastern parts of the country.
- Armenia – Dairy: Mr. Truman Graf, a former Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Wisconsin and an expert on diary pricing, spent two weeks at Ashtarak Kat CISC Milk Company in Armenia during August 2003. While there, he conducted dairy farm and plant conferences analyzing and quantifying data and operational system information on milk pricing and milk quality programs and conditions, which is preparatory to developing and assisting in planning implementation of a country-wide milk component pricing program. He also developed a component milk pricing system, quantifying component prices, and quantifying quality incentives. Upon his return to the United States, Mr. Graf has contacted his Senators and Congressional Representative to relay information regarding his volunteer trip and experiences. He has also given presentations to a local Kiwanis Club chapter and to members of the University of Wisconsin faculty.

A rough running motor or lack of power can be caused by a failed distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires (or their resistors), or valve cover gasket leaks. If the valve cover gasket leaks, oil can pool where the ignition wire resistor connects to the spark plug. The resistor can fail and the spark plug may not fire because of a short circuit through the oil.

Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Repairpal verified 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SE problems
Rough Running Engine Due to Misfire
Bad Switch/Blower Motor Resistor Assembly May Cause Inoperative Heater Blower Motor
Other than a defective motor, a bad switch or blower motor resistor assembly can cause an inoperative heater blower motor.
Premature Tire Wear Due to Cracked Lower Control Arm Bushings
The lower control arm bushings can wear and crack, leading to irregular and premature tire wear. Worn Ball joints can also cause similar tire wear problems. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.
"No start" Caused by Failed Fuel Pump/Relay
The fuel pump and/or fuel pump relay can fail, causing the car to crank over but not start. Proper diagnoses will be necessary to confirm if the pump or relay is at fault.
Coolant Hoses May Fail Unexpectedly
The cooling system hoses may fail unexpectedly. The hoses can look good on the outside, but the rubber can degrade and erode on the inside. If not carefully checked, the hoses can burst at any time.
Climate Control System Problems Due to Wear in Climate Control Buttons Contacts
The climate control system can fail or perform erratically due to internal problems with the climate control button electrical contacts. Replacement of the climate control assembly is commonly required to correct this problem.
Check Belt Tensioner When Replacing Water Pump
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. When replacing the water pump, the drive belt tensioner should be inspected and most likely replaced as well.
Motor Mounts Fail and Cause Vibration in Body
Motor mounts commonly fail, causing engine vibrations to be transferred to the body. Failed motor mounts should be replaced in order to prevent damage to the transmission mount.
Interior Wood Trim Cracks Due to Age and Sun Exposure
Due to age and sun exposure, the interior wood trim cracks and the finish gets a cloudy haze. Replacement if the trim would be the most common solution to the problem.
AC Not Cold Due to Leaking Hose
A refrigerant leak may develop from one or more of the AC hoses. Proper leak detection procedures should be followed if refrigerant loss in encountered. Replacement of any leaking hoses will we required to restore proper AC operation.
Coolant Leak/Overheating Due to Radiator Leak
A coolant leak may develop form the Radiator due to degradation of its plastic components. Replacement of the failed radiator will be necessary.
Transmission Oil Seals May Leak on High Mileage Vehicles
High mileage vehicles may develop a transmission fluid leak from one or more of the oil seals.
Noise and/or Smoke From Drive Belt Area
The emissions air injection pump can seize, causing a loud squealing noise followed by smoke from the drive belt. If the engine is not turned off, the belt will break, turning on the alternator/battery warning light.
Fluid Leak From Front of Vehicle
A worn steering dampening shock can cause a fluid leak at the front of the vehicle. If a leak is noted from the dampening shock, our technicians tell us that it should be replaced.
Instrument Cluster, Turn Signal/Wiper Combination Switch May Fail
The instrument cluster, along with the turn signal and wiper combination switch, can fail.

hope the movie turns out good.
Here is the first viral video for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. They got the voice right for the mock up commercial it is just missing something. Perhaps they should have hired some real recruiting video editors instead of the the man who directed Justin Bieber: Never Say Never?
The Plot: The G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.
The film is directed by Jon M. Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) and stars Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Ray Park, Ray Stevenson.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation finally arrives in theaters on March 29th, 2013
hope the movie turns out good.
It won't.
Saw one of those posters at a DC Metro stop. Looked cool. That promo looked cool, most likely better then the whole movie.
Ray Park as Snakes eyes can't be wrong. I am excited!
I'm with Dazzler, looking forward to this too.
Oh and let's not forget Bruce Willis and The Rock, should be plenty of ass kicking
It will be so much better then the 1st. Cobra Commander looks like Cobra Commander. this time. They got the Rock - Bruce Willis, and alot of ass kicking on tap.
But there's still that thing called Tatum in it...matine for sure...
Looks like the ditched a lot of crap from the first movie. Looking forward to seeing this one.
I don't want to sound like a GiJoe nerd but what the hell. I didn't have these toys but I remember them from the Marvel Comics run.
at 0:21, looks like the ASP. 0:24 looks like the Cobra Rattler.
I have been seriously excited for this since the first trailers. I feel it definitely LOOKS better than the first one. I just hope the delays to Recut Tatum back into it dont hurt it

I think you're thinking of Bobcat, which they claimed would provideFor Bulldozer, the claims I've seen are 12% die space, and virtually double performance on the right kind of code. On the other hand, the wrong kind of code probably gives no speed up at all.90% of todays mainstream performance in less than half of the silicon area
This source is pretty good at explaining how it works, as well as passing on AMD's 12% die space claim: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3863/a...t-chips-2010/4
i'm almost positive the i5 2500k is not multi-threaded.
but really doesn't anyone see the problem with that initial test? 25 seconds is utter crap for 32 cores, no matter what cpu you use. an 8 core sempron or core2 (if they existed) at 2ghz would have more raw processing power than the i5 2500k.
remember, there are plenty of programs and benchmarks out there that are multi-processor compatible but most are limited to 16 cores. if that test had those same limitations, that would mean half of those cores were doing absolutely nothing, and so it doesn't surprise me that 16 1.8ghz cores is about twice as fast as 4 3.2ghz cores.
think about it in this way:
If we were to consider these as theoretical frequencies, proportionally, 25.6 is pretty close to 28.8. Considering the frequency and likelihood of functioning cores, to me, it makes a lot of sense why the amd setup performed twice as fast as the intel setup, and it isn't as crappy as it may seem.
Thought this test may have already answered my question as it is single threaded (http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...IV-HIMENUBUL97)
That is bad news for bulldozer as that shows about 1/2 the single threaded performance compared to sandy bridge. (2600k gets about 345 in that test where as a 3.6ghz bulldozer would get ~180)

On the other hand I can play most games with Fedora 17 and stock open drivers + some extra packages for 32bit Mesa, S3TC etc.
//edit: so it would be nice if people in their reviews could mention what hardware they use (I usually do on appdb)
And I game with my AMD card. Granted, this is mostly native gaming, but I do game and game often on the free R600 Gallium3D drivers and this is with the stock drivers available on Fedora 16; not the latest git. I am looking forward to the improvements I will experience with Fedora 18 in November, but I am quite happy with the performance I have now. A little slower than I would get on the blobs, but I make up for that with ease of use and better support.
And the WINE thing is a bit of a red herring as I remember reading in another thread awhile back that part of the reason that Nvidia cards have an advantage is that back in the day they specifically coded Nvidia specific binary hacks into WINE to optimize performance on Nvidia cards. Not sure if I can dig up the thread again, but it was mentioned.

I don't understand readers and posters here. The Nvidia thread gets shut down because people become childish over Nvidia ending support for older cards. ATI (AMD) has been doing that for how long? ATI/AMD open source division has done very little on expanding features as the same ones (i.e. many) are at a static situation of 'TO DO' forever but no one complains?
AMD/ATI get a free ride here and it's pretty sad. Both these companies only support Windows. That's the bottom line yet few emphasize that. It is always about one over the other or how one is better than the other - around here.
Nvidia -> go to prison if you write anything about the specs!
AMD -> here are all the specs, write a driver for whatever you need we only provide software for gaming platforms like Windows (same with motherboard chipsets etc. see coreboot)
I didn't even post in the other thread because I don't care what they support in their binary drivers.
There always is some reason for that "complete BS", like the Wine 1.2 release notes that says:
- Many new OpenGL extensions are now supported. These include:
- Various nVidia extensions to ARB vertex/fragment programs. These
allow SM3 support with the ARB vertex/fragment program shader
- ARB_half_float_vertex. This adds support for 16-bit floating
point vertex formats on cards that don't already support
NV_half_float. It helps Supreme Commander.
r600g is a community driver with open documentation provided by AMD
so maybe we should rename r600g to NonAMDGenericLinuxCommunityDriverThatSupportsAMDHa rdwarebecausetheygaveusdocs600g??
403 times already
a.)r600g is a linux native !!!!community!!!! driver
b.)AMD is not endorsing or supporting or writing or financing or [fill whatver you want] r600g in any way
c.)AMD just promised Documentation, skeleton code and hardware support for the docs[aka ask the hardware dudes why [fill your asm atom] is doing B instead of A ] and so far they have keep their side of deal[pm bits maybe in a grey area]
d.)the entire linux graphic stack have the massive amount of 10 developers[<--tops] and is already impressive they reach this state in just 2 or 3 years [the previous years were graphic stack design not drivers]
e.)wanna make the development faster ??
1.)contribute code[read todo in git]
2.)hire a developer or get a group of ppl and make a fund to pay some developers
3.)sweet talk university students into gallium for their summer time[<-- the very nerdy ones]
4.)provide detailed bug reports
5.)stop whining and GOTO 1
Again, I'm not saying that you do it on purpose, but rumors start from a grain of truth.
NV_X nvidia
APPLE_ apple
so thereis nothing weird that those are in mesa but is always better to stick to ARB when possible[since those must be supported by all vendors theorically at least]
now is true that many times in the past you have X extension in GL and nvidia/amd didnt agree in the functionality so both ended rendering different thing or ATI/nvidia used lesser render quality codepath to produce more FPS or many other ugly hacks in windows games but that is unrelated to wine
ofc wine could be using 1 feature[ARB or NV] that worked perfectly fine on nvidia hw but produced garbage or different effect on ATI hardware but that is an issue of AMD and Nvidia since they have to agree or stick to the standard in how to do X or devs will end up with a salad of branching[IE vs firefox case come to mind]

Multiple Sclerosis, Neurology
BiographyDr. Peter Calabresi serves as the Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Center, focusing on the diagnosis and management of MS. He is the principal investigator on several clinical trials and oversees research projects seeking to create new anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective therapies for MS.
Dr. Peter Calabresi received his undergraduate degree from Yale University and his medical degree from Brown University. He then completed an internship and residency training in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital. He went on to complete a fellowship in neuroimmunology at the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Calabresi is also directing a longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study using new ways of assessing nerve fiber and myelin integrity in the brain and spinal cord. These approaches may provide more information than conventional MRI, which is heavily weighted towards measuring inflammation.
Dr. Calabresi currently sees patients at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center in Baltimore on Wednesdays.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I really appreciate when readers share their incredible stories of heroism, perseverance, tenacity and especially resilience. It's amazing the ways people find to deal with tragedies and disappointments.
Researchers tell us that despite soul-shredding and punishing setbacks, most people eventually achieve a "new normal" where they again feel joy and happiness, and even look forward to the future. You may need someone else to point it out to you, though. Let me explain.
A few days ago while walking to the parking ramp after a difficult day I struck up a conversation with a beloved, iconic leader of my organization. For 15 years, this woman was a major player in the national health care scene. When her time in office ended, she shifted to a less demanding and less public role.
After she stepped out of the limelight, she said that a number of coworkers stopped her to say that she'd never looked better. They said her smile and the spring in her step had returned. She seemed to be enjoying life once again. Amazingly, this all came as a surprise to my colleague. She didn't know how weighed down she'd been until the burden of leadership was lifted from her.
So, at least one message is clear. You need at least one person to hold up a mirror to tell you how you're doing in an honest and compassionate way. I recall a mayor of New York City who would walk through the neighborhoods of that bustling metropolis and ask people, "So how am I doing? How do I look?" The answers to those questions provided a solid grounding for him.
Who serves that role for you? What would they say to you right now?
Edward T. Creagan, M.D.

I never really thought about this. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I enjoyed this article (my first time on this site) as it hit home for me.
After a DX of Wegener's in 2004 and losing my brother in 2007 stress has played a big part in my life yet its a battle to keep calm and relaxed--knowing that stress is no good for my health and can bring on a flare as it did in 2010 I must do what is best for me--I did seek counseling for a time and met with much success yet having this blog will be very helpful to me.
Your mentioning new normal is so true as I am unable to do what I used to do -having had a stroke in 2003 then the DX --one does have to adjust to living differently but in the scheme of things it is pretty good -- Now blessed with 3 Great Grandchildren there is joy --I always try to look at the good things and that's what gets me through--I have super children and a good hubby (who also has medical issues) so we get through it together.

Red Dawn was okay. But then I remember the original was nothing great either lol :)

Hamlin, a 27-year-old Remsen, N.Y., native and the 2009 world champion, finished 12th in the women's singles event at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, and then was 16th in 2010 in Vancouver, coming in as the highest placed American in the event.
Kate Hansen had the next highest finish of any American, ending up in 10th. Fellow American Summer Britcher finished in 15th place.

Weren't both the new xbox and ps4 boxes like you describe? AMD cpu + gpu.
When ones can sell rpi for $35, just upgrade the mem and the proc, and you have to spend > $100 more? heheh.. Me, pass!!
Weren't both the new xbox and ps4 boxes like you describe? AMD cpu + gpu.
If you're an applied EE, and EE instructor, or an EE student, you might have a point. The RBPi is possibly the most disruptive educational technology introduced since the Arduino and Basic Stamp. From a historical perspective, it's nowhere near as interesting as the introduction of the solid state transistor or LED, it's simply a nicely packaged bundle of technology that has existed for well over a decade.
I'm not trying to diminish the Pi/Ard. I just feel you're making them out to be a bigger deal than they really are.
That said, while Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo are fighting over the console market we're seeing Apple/Google based devices of much lesser hardware specs taking the large casual gamer segment full on, and while initially it may mainly affect portable devices like 3ds, psp I think that in the long run the console market will end up being the exclusive domain of hardcore gamers and thus not able to sustain all the current players in the high-end console arena due to the huge investments required to compete.
As for the OUYA, love the idea, a cheap, open, casual gamer console and another potential outlet for indie games, I'm getting one.
Also, from the article Micheal wrote: -"It's an interesting open game console design, but will likely be trumped in the coming year by something much more interesting."
Is this a reference to the steambox thingy? I though it had been officially debunked, or?
Think PSP+wifi only iPad with an OS that can actually be used for real work when need be.
I'm still not sure whether or not this is a scam yet.
The images are all renders, nothing tangible.
No homepage
There is no agreement from Mojang that minecraft will be on it, like they proudly claim.
fuseproject doesn't mention Ouya at all.
I want more information before i trust.
I think Steam and OUYA would make a beautiful couple :-)

Chicken and Pineapple Fried Rice
Pineapple is great in Asian cooking, such as the Thai shrimp and pineapple curry recipe I shared last week. Today, I am going to show you how to make a delicious chicken and pineapple fried rice. I am sure everyone here has had Chinese fried rice as it's one of the most popular Chinese recipe. With the addition of pineapple, the regular chicken fried rice becomes so much more interesting, and delicious, because of the sweet tang of the pineapple. It also helps to make the fried rice tastes less greasy as every bite is bursting with the freshness of the pineapple.
What I love most about this chicken and pineapple fried rice is the slightly caramelized taste of the pineapple, after stir-frying in the wok. While the pineapple still tastes fresh and juicy, there is a little something as the sweetness is slightly caramelized. It's just delightful.
Many people ask me about overnight rice. Put simply, it's just basically rice from yesterday. As the rice loses the moisture content, it's perfect for fried rice so every single bit of rice is drier so your fried rice won't be mushy and "wet." Whenever I go out to Chinese restaurants, I always ask for an extra serving of rice so I can just pack it back and keep in the fridge overnight. The next day, I have the perfect overnight rice for my fried rice. It's so easy and you don't even have to make steamed rice.
Anyway, here is my chicken and pineapple fried rice recipe. I have a similar version of Thai pineapple fried rice if you are interested to check it out.

When do I add the chicken?
I just posted a fried rice recipe earlier this week too. Curry fried rice. I've been wanting to use pineapples in my fried rice and maybe I should do a tom yam Thai version like you did! Thanks for the inspiration.
This is really nice, we already have the ingredients. The pineapple is canned, but the result must be very similar. So, we know what we'll have for dinner!:)
Thank you for posting this Rasa!
Thank you for the nice recipe. Have a Happy Saturday.
Thanks for all of your rummy recipes. This sounds so good as I am sure it is. It looks better than any take out fried rice I've ever had! Yum!

Keeping active is one of the most important ways you can help yourself stay healthy. Adults of all ages are now exercising more often and approximately 35 million children and young adults between ages 6 and 21 are involved in sports activities. With the increase in exercise and sports programs, overuse injuries have become more common.
Anyone who consistently engages in a physical routine on an ongoing basis is vulnerable to "overuse injury." These are injuries that result from repeated movements that "overuse" or cause wear and tear on the bones, muscles, ligaments, joints and nerves. Performing the same activity over and over again (such as running, throwing a ball, or lifting) can cause microscopic tears which lead to small amounts of bleeding and swelling within the injured area.
Athletes, musicians, dancers, and others who participate in activities involving repetitive or forceful movements often suffer overuse injuries. An overuse injury can also happen if you begin an activity or sport and do too much too soon.
Overuse injuries can include muscle strain, tendonitis, shin splints, stress fractures, and patellofemoral knee pain. These types of injuries are common and often occur because of a training error.
In runners, this may mean running too far, too fast, or too soon. In fact, up to 70 per cent of runners develop injuries each year.
What Factors Usually Cause Overuse Injuries?
• Training errors are the most common cause of overuse injuries. These errors involve rapid acceleration of the intensity, duration or frequency of your activity.
• Overuse injuries also happen in people who resume a sport or activity after being injured and try to make up for lost time.
• There are also technical factors. Always use proper technique to avoid causing overuse injuries. Even slight changes in form may cause an injury.
• Some people are more prone to overuse injuries, usually because of anatomic or biomechanical factors. Imbalances between strength and flexibility around certain joints predispose one to injury. Body alignment - like knock-knees, bow legs, unequal leg lengths and flat or high arched feet - are also factors.
• People may also have weak joints or body areas due to old injuries, incompletely rehabilitated injuries or other anatomic factors.
• Equipment - like the type of running shoe or dance shoe, and terrain – whether a surface is hard or soft – can also make a difference.
Overuse injuries may be prevented in most cases by following 10 basic principles:
1. Set realistic goals. Always use common sense and take it easy when starting any new exercise program, especially if it's been a while since you've worked out. Do not run more than 45 miles per week. There is little evidence that running more than 45 miles per week improves performance, but there is significant evidence indicating that running more than 45 miles per week increases the risk of overuse injury.
2. Proper warm-up is key to any successful exercise program. Five to ten minutes of easy aerobic activity, pedaling a bike or light jogging should get your muscles warmed up sufficiently.
3. Gentle stretching to the point of moderate tension and holding that position for 10-30 seconds is recommended after your muscles are warmed up. Ideally, you should stretch all your muscles, but if time is limited, then concentrate on the muscles active in your workout.
4. Proper technique is important in any exercise program. In weight training, certified trainers are sometimes helpful in this regard. Running coaches are helpful in developing personalized running programs and good technique.
5. Increase intensity gradually. Do not increase running mileage by more than 10 percent per week. Vary your exercise routine. Follow hard training or running days with easy days.
6. Do not exercise or run through pain. "No pain, no gain" is nonsense. Pain is a warning sign that something is wrong and should not be ignored. Initially, ice and rest may be beneficial. See your doctor for persistent pain that doesn't go away after one week.
7. Rest and recovery time is vital to any program. The body needs time to recuperate and regenerate, especially after a rigorous workout. If you're feeling sick or haven't had enough sleep, you may want to defer your workout.
8. Proper equipment is important. This applies to a golf club of appropriate length, a tennis racket with correct grip size, quality shoes, and protective eyewear. A good pair of running shoes can do wonders to prevent injuries. Make sure to replace running shoes after 500 miles of wear since shock absorbability is significantly diminished at this point. Eye protection is also important in certain high-risk sports. 3mm polycarbonate lenses should be used in protective sports eyewear. These are the thinnest and lightest lenses available and are also impact resistant.
9. Drink lots of fluid. Dehydration can lead to impaired athletic performance and other health consequences in the long term. Water is important before, during, and after exercise. Drinking at least 8 ounces of water before exercising is ideal.
10. Cooling down is equally as important as warming up. Gradually slowing down allows the body to adjust and further reduces the risk of injury.
Following these principles does not guarantee that you will not experience an overuse injury but it definitely reduces your risk. Most overuse injuries can be prevented with the proper conditioning and training and by using common sense. If you have any questions about your exercise or sports activity, please consult your physician.
