So, yes, Canonical will probably make quite a few bucks with adverts, but the beautiful thing is that nothing is stopping anyone of creading a CentOS for their RHEL. And removing the bits they don't like, adding new stuff, whatever. Look at Mint. That's what the GPL is about. No one can own that code and monopolize anything, ever. There's no lock-in possible unless they start implementing closed-source software on top of Debian and calling that Ubuntu. But they haven't so far. Unity is available on other distributions now. As shitty as Unity is, I think it's great that it's an option.
Regarding the phone, we'll have to see. Regardless of its quality or the technology used, it seems to be at least as open as Android, which is also a positive and makes everything I said about their desktop distribution apply (look at Cyanogenmod for a particularly good example).
Having said all that, I'm not a fan of Ubuntu at all, vastly preferring either Mint of proper Debian. But I can't gloss over the advantages they brought us all and I certainly don't see them as a threat to free software.

Painting from the tomb chapel of Nebamen: fragment of polychrome tomb-painting divided into two registers. In the upper register a herd of cattle is brought to Nebamen; in front of the cattle the herdsmen bow down to a standing scribe who records the produce. The vertical hieroglyphic caption is damaged, and only a few-phrases can be read. In the lower register a man drives cattle towards some seated scribes. Two horizontal registers of hieroglyphs survive above.

"Electronic Sound" is George Harrison's first solo album, released on Zapple Records (an offshoot of Apple) in 1969. George had recently become aware of the Moog synthesizer while in Los Angeles, and purchased one for use in England.
The Moog synthesizer turns 50 this year, and MusicTech.net is celebrating with a series of articles focusing on the iconic instrument.
Earlier this month, the city of Coldwater, Ontario held their fourth annual Steampunk Festival.

Mammut Men's Mountain Trail XT GORE-TEX
Mammut Men's Mountain Trail XT GORE-TEX 7 7
gil this product has great features this product has great features 01 December 2014
Great boot for my dogey ankles Great boot for my dogey ankles which play up with most other boots. Excellent features all round. 01 December 2014
The original was Good I had the original Raichle boots back in New Zealand. These have changed slightly, the rubber protector goes all round the boot which doesn't look as cool. To be honest I took my new pair back and replaced them for a lighter weight boot as these are overkill for hiking in the UK which involves mainly farmland and country roads. If I was overseas though I would consider getting these again or Zamberlan. 19 August 2014
Comfortable out of the box I had a pair of the equivalent Raichle boots which I'd worn for around 8 years and trekked over 1,500 miles in. After a recent trip to New Zealand they finally expired (the leather uppers split). They'd been great boots - so I hunted down these Mammuts. Took them out of the box, put them on my feet and set off round the cliffs of Galloway. Just like the old ones! Fantastic! 17 March 2014
one boot is truly excellent. A wonderment of fitting It may be my foot that's weird but these are the first pair of boots in 60 years to highlight my problem, if there is one. The problem is only on the right boot and fitting expensive insoles hasn't fully solved it. Is it the last? I swear you can feel the problem with your finger tips, not when you're wearing the boot, obviously! The transition from heel to arch is so sudden it feels like a padded bar under my foot. Couldn't feel it in the shop when I bought them. Could after a short walk on the carpet at home. Hence the expensive insole. Now the left boot is "the business" but the right remains a problem. No time to break in some others before the trip I'm making so if I come back lame the right boot will be made an issue. 23 September 2013
Festival strength I bought these boots to do some hiking over the summer, but for their first outing I took them to Glastonbury festival. They were great, survived the mud, kept my feet dry and were comfortable to wear from the word go. Such a good pair of boots, highly recommend. 08 July 2013
Comfortable, waterproof and good quality This is a must buy boot for general hiking/scrambling. No need to wear the boots in they were comfortable from the off set. And if its dry feet you want as long as you wear over waterproof trousers then these boots are a winner. 16 February 2013

The product has features we didn't expect but very much like. Our former ac did not turn off when a temperature was reached, so it had created unnecessary noise without any appreciable benefit. The thermostat on the new ac also allows us to select a specific temp, so we are far more comfortable with that feature as well. Further, the remote is quite a surprise new benefit since some parts of the area we cool get warmer or cooler throughout the day. We also were very pleased with the installation.

In my opinion, the Kenmore 18,500 btu air conditioner is overpriced. However, it does work very well. It cools my entire downstairs level. I love that my kids are able to enjoy the air on a hot day. Besides the price, the only downside is that you basically have to take it apart to put it together. Also, the plug is not a regular plug that plugs in the wall, we had to get a special hook up to use it to plug it in. I wish the salesman would have told us before hand. But, no complaints. works great

This is the second one I bought in a year, I bought my son one last year, and was so impressed by how well it worked and the efficiency I just bought another yesterday, when my husband put the batteries in the thermostat on the remote said the room was 92 degrees ( this is a third floor full attic) with in an hour we were adjusting the temperature higher, it went from 92 degrees to 70! The remote has everything on it also. It does take a little time to put cabinet together, but, my husband has done both and said, it's worth it! :)

We have a small frame house so this A/C was installed in a 10'x10' room to also help with the adjoined kitchen. It is pretty heavy but not as much as others I have installed which is important because this thing's bottom edge is over 5' off the ground. So we install it last spring it tools along until just this September and the compressor freezes. I call "Christine" somewhere in India and she blithely informs me the warranty went out in June. Figures. I am so tired of spending hundreds of dollars on disposable appliances (refrigerator went out in two years) and now this lasts just long enough to get out of its short warranty. We're done...no more Kenmore or any of its "camouflaged" brands. Facebook is going to hear about this as well. I figure at least some of my 300 friends will heed the warning.

Had the old one out and this one in and running in about 2hrs. Would have been faster but, the directions didn't specify exactly what screws went where, had to change a few of them around. Other than that fairly easy to install. Works Great, the house was cool in about 2hrs.

On Monday night we had an evening off here in Omaha, Neb., and after wandering the city, admiring its beautiful art deco architecture, shopping for CDs and singing Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday" the whole time (it was Monday, and the streets were completely empty), we decided to treat ourselves to a great dinner.

Yesterday, I tasted two flights of 1996 Cabernets as part of a series on older California wines. Each year for the past 20 years, I've conducted retrospective tastings. It's the only way to assess how the wines age, and it's both instructive for me and useful for people who collect these wines.

Winemakers periodically send me older wines to show me how their wines are aging (which is usually a good thing) or, more diplomatically, to demonstrate what I missed the first time around. And about one-third of the 5,000 or so wines that I taste each year are older wines, as opposed to new releases.

On Saturday, a friend invited me to a dinner party and mentioned some of her friends were, well, wine geeks. No kidding. Turns out her friends, nearly a dozen, were that and more. These folks knew how to shop for gourmet breads and cheeses, cook a savory mixed grill of tri-tips, shrimp and chicken on the barbie, set tables, buy wine, pull corks and wash dishes—sometimes seemingly all at the same time.

We purchased this range hood through Sears.com in January, 2011. The hood is very nice looking, has bright lighting, and is fairly quiet in all speeds of operation. However, it requires 5 inch flexible ducting for installation, which we could not find anywhere, including Sears. Had to use 6 inch flex ducting and tape it to the range hood. The local Sears appliance store didn't know where to find the 5 inch flex ducting either. Also, within 2 weeks of installing this range hood, one of the (included) 40 watt halogen bulbs stopped working. We've been to every electrical parts and lighting store, and still cannot find these special bulbs. Once again, we went to Sears, and were told directly by the sales person that we could find these bulbs at ****** (had already been there), and he knew this "because (he) used to work there." So, we went back to ****** and explained this to several people there, who have never seen this bulb, and cannot order it. The sales person at Sears dismissed me and walked away before I could explain that we had already been to ******. But, we went back anyway. We're now wondering if this range hood is typically sold outside of the U.S., because the "standard" parts in it are clearly not "standard" products in any stores here in Florida. To be honest, the most disappointing part of this purchase so far has been the lack of help offered by Sears employees, specifically the ones in Summerfield, FL, who were unhelpful and rude.

We left Germany today, which meant my last German dining experience. Kangaroo meat was on the buffet, along with a few other critters I can't pronounce.
Of course I tried them! Not bad at all.
After another all-night flight with a stop in Istanbul, we arrived in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan where the Manas Military Base is located and our luggage awaited us.
Lt. Col. (ret) Lew Deal couldn't wait to don his Mossy Oak Turkey THUG cap. I, on the other hand, couldn't wait to find an English-speaking person so I could report my missing luggage.
Folks kept telling me not to worry, it was JUST luggage. I have a theory about missing luggage and toothaches. Both are whole lot more serious when they are yours.

I did a piglit run on fglrx the other day,
so we can say we are a lot better in terms of actually passing tests :-)
That is a piglit run from two AMD drivers a year apart.
but really its only Intel working a lot on core mesa at the moment, with others expending time as jobs allow. Its not as is Red Hat can ship GL3.0 drivers anyways so working on them isn't a great spend of our time. and working on GL doesn't get you CL or video decode or anything. Also it not as if Red Hat can ship video decoders, so again no reason for us to invest heavily in them.
Perhaps some of the distros that do ignore patents could invest more in these.
PS. Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge only support OGL 3.x so I think that Intel isn't directly interested in supporting OGL 4.x.

Richard Wagner
1813 - 1883
Libretto by the composer
First performed August 16th 1876, Festspielhaus Bayreuth
Sung in German with surtitles
Duration: c. 5 hrs. with two intervals
About the piece
Wagner finished the libretto for his new opera at the end of 1852. What had begun as Siegfried's Death had now grown into a four-part »Stage Festival« so as to provide the background which was to lead to Siegfried's downfall. Wagner told Franz Liszt: »writing the music will be very easy and quick: because it will only be the execution of that which is already finished«; but things turned out differently. After four years he had finished Rheingold and Walküre and begun work on Siegfried. But here his flow became blocked. The composer was seized by »melancholic doubt« and the perhaps most extraordinary pause in the history of operatic composition took place: the Ring des Nibelungen, which had already taken many years in coming to being, ground to a halt for nearly twelve years. Only the prospect that the complete work could be performed encouraged him to start working on it again. His orchestral writing had become more layered and harmonically complex. More astonishing than the long break in composing is the compelling arch of sound that is apparent throughout the Ring.
Siegfried is therefore a work of transition, of change. It is also a piece that connects: Nordic myths merge with the German Nibelungenlied. Wagner said that Siegfried was an »intermezzo«. A tale about »the boy who went forth to learn what fear was«, a hero in whom others have put their own, conflicting, hopes. Passages of comedy take place during this »Second Day« - but gloomy ones too, having to take farewell, the old gods' loss of power. Hope lies – the base tone in Wagner's thoughts and creation – in love.

Siegfried, Siegmund and Sieglinde's son, has been brought up by Mime who is trying to forge a sword strong enough for him so that he can kill Fafner, who has taken on the form of a dragon to guard his treasure, enabling Mime to get his hands on the Ring. Wotan is roaming the world as a Wanderer. After a knowledge competition with Mime, who loses, he tells him that only a man who has never learnt what fear is can mend Siegmund's sword, Nothung. Siegfried mends his father's broken weapon and kills Fafner. After coming into contact with the dragon's blood he can understand the language of birds, one of whom tells him to take the Ring and Tarnhelm and not to trust Mime, who he kills when he tries to trick him into drinking poison. The bird tells him about Brünnhilde asleep on a rock and they set off to find her. Wotan wakes Erda and asks her how he can change the fate of the gods. When Erda finds out that their daughter has been deprived of her divinity and is sleeping surrounded by a ring of fire she keeps silent – for her he is no longer the ruling god he claims to be. Wotan tries to prevent Siegfried from reaching Brünnhilde but Siegfried, believing him to be his father's enemy, breaks his spear with his sword. Siegfried strides through the ring of fire and wakes Brünnhilde with a kiss. She sees the fateful ring on his finger and is fearful that she is no longer able to save him from Wotan's plans of distruction. He is insistant and she eventually gives into her desires. Their joy is ecstatic.

Restaurants get a taste for Cleveland attorney's 'cash mobs'
Blog Entry:
February 14, 2013 10:19 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
catches up
with Andrew Samtoy, a Cleveland attorney credited with starting "cash mobs," as the movement spreads to new types of ventures, and to new places around the world.
Cash mobs involve, essentially, altruistic strangers coming together for shopping sprees at neighborhood shops. Mr. Samtoy has become "the face of the mobs in the U.S.," according to the story, though he doesn't get paid to organize them; he does it because he wants to "give back to businesses that support their communities."
Mr. Samtoy estimates 2,000 cash mobs have taken place around the world since he led his first one in Cleveland in fall 2011, according to the story.
"Last year, when dining deals site Restaurant.com approached him about funneling his mobs to a handful of its 18,000 partner restaurants, he agreed, and together they organized events in five cities with hungry folks forming 'dish mobs,'" Businessweek.com reports. "While other national businesses have tried to partner with Samtoy and fellow organizers, he says Restaurant.com was 'the only one that made sense, as they respected us and our mission and did not try to dominate the whole process or go against the spirit of cash mobs.'"
The story notes that Restaurant.com plans more dish mobs across the country, with Salt Lake City, Dallas, Orlando, Raleigh and Baltimore scheduled in the coming weeks.
For Mr. Samtoy's part, he tells Businessweek.com that he plans to spend less time this year organizing cash mobs in the United States and more time getting the word out internationally. While he has seen growth in the United Kingom, Germany, and Australia, "Spain is absolutely massive right now."
Businessweek.com adds that he reasons the popularity is due in part to Spain's record unemployment and Spaniards' desire to help each other, "because the politicians are clearly not doing it."
A gloomy group
The nation's small business owners, as represented by the
National Small Business Association
, generally have been a pessimistic group, with 51% of members recently reporting they expect a flat economy this year and just 14% expecting growth.
But Slate.com
we shouldn't pay much attention to such confidence surveys because, well, these small business owners aren't very good predictors of the direction of the economy.
From the piece:
So are we doomed? Not really. Delving into the history of NSBA reports, small-business owners appear to be a remarkably grumpy and pessimistic lot. The number of respondents foreseeing a recession next year is the highest since July 2009, which might make us curious as to how the economy fared in the August 2009-July 2010 period. It turns out that July '09 was basically the low point of the recession. Over the next four quarters U.S. output expanded by $357 billion. In other words, small business owners predicted a recession just as the recovery was starting.
The 47-to-23 ratio of respondents saying the economy is worse off today than it was a year ago is alarming. But six months ago the ratio was an equally alarming 48-to-21. In December 2011, it was 44-to-24 and six months before that it was 52-to-24. So has the economy been on a steady downward slide for the past two and a half years? Nope. Growth has been disappointingly slow in some ways, but the economy is clearly on an upward trajectory.
So why are small business owners so gloomy? "One plausible theory is politics," according to Slate.com.
"Owners and operators of businesses are one of the most reliably Republican occupational categories in the United States, so it's perhaps natural for them to have a pessimistic bias," according to the piece. "There is a president they don't like in the White House, and they've consistently believed Obama's policies are driving us into an economic ditch. Like most Americans, they don't change their partisan commitments in the face of contrary evidence."
Also worth noting is that small business owners "take a considerably rosier view of
their own
business prospects than those of the economy as a whole," says Slate.com. "A healthy 47 percent of respondents anticipate their own gross sales rising, while just 23 percent say they'll decline. If growing businesses outnumber shrinking ones 2-to-1, then it's hard to see how the economy is going to shrink."
This topic is less dry than you'd think
There are Northeast Ohio connections in
Wall Street Journal
about the rise of companies selling alcohol-free sanitizers with antimicrobials they say give long-lasting protection without drying hands.
"Many hand sanitizers, which gained popularity in the 1990s, contain alcohol, which provides a quick kill but evaporates in a few seconds — meaning users can pick up more bacteria as soon as they touch something, scientists say,"
The Journal
notes. "And frequent users of alcohol-based sanitizers, such as nurses, sometimes complain of dry hands, doctors say."
However, it adds that some scientists say "there is insufficient real-world evidence to show the new (alcohol-free) sanitizers work as well as they do in lab tests."
Even so,
The Journal
reports that the website of SafeHands LLC, of Boca Raton, Fla., markets its alcohol-free sanitizer, made with the antimicrobial benzalkonium chloride, as "tough on germs and safe on skin." Another sanitizer, 4 Hour Protection sold by Angel Dough Ventures LLC, Hicksville, N.Y., has the same active ingredient and offers "moisturizing, long-lasting coverage," according to the company's website.
The formula in 4 Hour Protection hasn't been studied to see how it performs after drying on skin for several hours, says Don Muir, executive vice president of
MicroArmor Inc.
of Willoughby, which makes the product for Angel Dough.
"But he says published data in the August 1998 journal of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses on a sanitizer with the same active ingredient shows sustained activity,"
The Journal
reports. (The study used a formulation that was a precursor to the one used in the SafeHands product, according to David L. Dyer, who is a co-author of the study and co-inventor of SafeHands.)
Mr. Muir adds that not all of the 4 Hour Protection product will rub off and moisture on the hands is enough to allow it to work, according to
The Journal
. The company's website says the product provides "continuous effectiveness" when applied every two to four hours along with handwashing.
Dave Macinga, a microbiologist for Akron-based
Gojo Industries Inc.
, the maker of Purell, tells
The Journal that it is an "absolute misconception" that alcohol-based sanitizers dry your hands. He also says moisturizers are added.
"In a Gojo-funded study published in 2000 in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 32 nurses used Purell for two weeks for an average of about twice an hour during their workdays,"
The Journal
reports. "It found Purell caused no hand irritation or dryness and proved gentler on the hands than soap and water."
