'Free' phone service costs taxpayers $2 billion a year
Subsidized cellphone service comes at a cost
More than 10 million U.S. residents pay nothing for their cellphone service. So who pays their bills?
The rest of us.
If you take a close look at your monthly phone bill you'll likely see a fee called USF or "Universal Service." That's the fund that collects fees mandated by the federal government to subsidize phone service for those who can't afford to pay for it themselves, WCPO reported .
Since the days of President Ronald Reagan, the Federal Communications Commission authorized payment only for land-line phones. The fund would pay for hooking up one line per household, then subsidize most if not all of the monthly phone bill.
The program cost less than $500,000 in 2007, before the FCC decided to let people apply for subsidized cell service. Today the program costs more than $2 billion a year.
While it has been widely decried as the "Obama phone," the free cellphone was added in 2008 during the waning days of the George W. Bush presidency.
Virtually any type of government assistance now comes with a government phone. Regardless of income, participation in any one of nine programs automatically qualifies the applicant, including food stamps, Section 8 housing, temporary assistance, Medicaid, or school lunch subsidies.
The offering of free cellphones came at the same time as the great recession, so more people qualified. It has helped some families get back on their feet by providing a phone they can use to apply for jobs.
But the cellphone applications now include a place for the needy to enter their home phone numbers. If they already have a phone, why do they need the Lifeline service?
"This has become more than being a Lifeline for some people. It's about a free phone," said Rep. Steve Stivers, a second-term Republican congressman representing Wilmington and other parts of central Ohio.
Today there are actually more free cellphones out there than there are subscribers.
"Some people had three or four of these Lifeline phones," said Congressman Stivers.
That's because the government and most of the phone companies were not tracking applications to make sure people weren't getting more than one phone. A study by the Government Accountability Office revealed widespread waste, fraud and abuse in the Lifeline program.
"In fact in Ohio," Stivers added, "it's about $2.5 million -- just the duplicate Lifeline phones."
A Hand-Out With A Marketing Budget
How could this happen? No government agency would review, approve or deny applications for Lifeline service. The FCC left that up to the phone companies, which had a strong incentive to find a way to qualify as many applicants as possible.
There are more than 1 million free government cellphones in Ohio alone.
"We believe you," said Rep. Stivers, mimicking the phone companies. "We make money on this, but we believe you!"
Every month, the typical subscriber gets another 250 free minutes and 250 free texts, and the federal fund pays the bills.
There are hundreds of wireless companies pushing the subsidized cellphone service in ads on the Internet. Some of those companies send extra blank applications to approved subscribers so they can get their friends, family members and neighbors to apply.
In a news release, the FCC acknowledged "perverse incentives" for wireless companies and subscribers to game the system.
There are even recruitment ads where wireless companies encourage prospective sales people to "give away government phones" and earn "high commissions."
Once the government is on the hook for the basic service, many of the wireless providers engage in up-sell techniques to convince subscribers that they need more minutes at additional cost.
The phone itself is absolutely free in most cases.
Assurance Wireless , the Lifeline brand of Virgin Mobile USA and Sprint, is one of the largest providers in Ohio. Assurance told the I-Team that it pays for the phone handset and accessories, not the government. That's true -- the USF will not reimburse phone companies for supplying the phone.
But many companies found a way around that, called Link-Up. Another federal program, Link-Up was originally designed to pay half the cost of establishing land-line service, capped at $30 per line. The subscriber was supposed to pay the other half. Also, that fee was based on what companies charged regular paying customers.
The FCC discovered companies were getting the full $30 from the fund without charging the subscriber the other half, and paying customers often had their connection fees waved. Only the government was paying the fee.
Next page: Government phones on eBay?
WCPO found dozens of Lifeline phones for sale on eBay .
We looked for phones with the Assurance Wireless label because most other companies use brand names that are also marketed as regular or pre-paid
cellphones. To get an Assurance phone from Virgin Mobile/Sprint, applicants have to pre-qualify for Lifeline service.
One listing offered several Assurance phones. The I-Team bought one of those from an eBay user who says he sells items confiscated by police as part of criminal investigations. The phone we received was still active with an Atlanta phone number and dozens of contacts still loaded. Our attempts to discover why the police may have seized the phone were unsuccessful, but the seller assured us there were plenty more where that one came from.
The second phone we bought was shipped new in the box from an eBay member in Florida. The phone had never been activated and still had the protective stickers on it.
The original shipping label was still on the box, underneath the label used to ship the phone to us. Using a backlight, we were able to see the return address that we traced to the handset supplier, and the shipping address for the Lifeline applicant. We tracked the phone to mailbox on 38th Place in Miami, Florida. The current residents did not return our calls.
When we contacted Assurance Wireless, the company reiterated that the government did not pay for the phones we found for sale on the web.
"As for attempted illegal transfer of the handsets or service, we continually monitor the Internet for attempted sales of the service, which are rare, and intervene when necessary," said Jack Pflanz, communications manager for Assurance Wireless.
Pflanz also pointed out that Virgin Mobile absorbs the USF fees and does not pass them on to its paying customers.
But at the same time Sprint has accepted hundreds of millions of dollars in payments from the federal Lifeline program, it has used some of its revenue to send jobs overseas. When we called Assurance Wireless customer service, the operator who answered said he was in Bogota, Colombia.
WCPO visited with one Assurance subscriber in Indiana who had trouble activating his phone. Despite an approval letter from Assurance, the customer service representative in Colombia kept insisting the subscriber had a pre-paid Virgin Mobile phone instead, and encouraged him to buy minutes. We have no way of knowing if the company was also billing the government for his service.
In an attempt to activate his government phone, the man was asked to give otherwise-confidential information to a stranger in South America.
Congressman Stivers is worried that Americans are sending "personally identifiable financial information to somebody in Bogota, Columbia that then could use that to steal their identity," he said.
FCC Cracks Down
The GAO report revealed a nearly-complete lack of oversight in the Lifeline program.
The FCC is now implementing recommendations from that study, including the development of a database to track multiple phones registered to one household or even one person.
There are random audits of the subscriber list, and all current recipients are now asked to re-certify that they qualify every year. The first time the re-certification was required late last year, one out of every three subscribers failed to send in their documents.
The FCC is now issuing citations to subscribers who abuse the system. One cites a single subscriber for having six different government cellphones on five different carriers including Assurance, i-wireless, Reachout Wireless, TracFone, and SafeLink.
Sprint, the parent company of Virgin Mobile USA and its Assurance Wireless brand, tells shareholders in its latest annual report that "USF receipts increased substantially" in the prior year, and "we anticipate them to continue to increase..."
But Sprint also warned shareholders "changes in the Lifeline program as a result of the ongoing FCC proceeding or other legislation or regulations could negatively impact growth in the Assurance Wireless" business.
Congressman Stivers is a co-sponsor of House Resolution 176, the "Stop Taxpayer Funded Cell Phones Act" which is currently before a congressional committee. It would return the program to its original landline-only offering, eliminating the cell phone option that costs $1.7 billion a year.
The FCC just eliminated the Link-Up program this year because regulators determined the cost of establishing service is close to nothing in the digital age, and some wireless companies were using it to defray the cost of the handsets.
Wireless companies are still offering the free phones, and making a profit on the program.
Similar to the business model for paying customers, the Lifeline cellphone itself is a loss-leader for the companies that stand to make millions, both in monthly fees billed to the government, and up-sell charges for extra minutes paid by the subscriber.

Intel is ok. AMD gives only half the thing wile Nvidia let as guess from some PDFs. The thing with AMD is that we can't target their hardware efficiently, correctly, and we are missing capabilities (buffer management, instructions and others). With AMD its like they give you an AVX CPU and a GCC patch with SSSE3 target and optimization libraries.

Ok Intel is fully open source (on Linux) but I haven't heard even half-decent things about Intel GPU drivers, even on Windows. And the non-proprietary versions on Linux don't even match Windows performance if I recall Michael's benchmarks.
This open GPU obsession makes my head spin. Having something that's capable of at least bringing up a display is nice, but otherwise 99.99% of all computer users use closed-sourced video drivers and it's worked for decades and frankly people just don't care. Functionality, performance and making things work as smooth as possible is going to win over the most consumers. Just an FYI for businesses interested in making money.
I think people need to tone down some of the hate. He is not being as unreasonable as some people here are making out. Read his reddit post:
That is not to say that I agree with his WINE comments, but I think some of the bile here is uncalled for. Especially with this comment here:
And he is actually exactly right about the fact that the source code releases are more important - I would rather have access to a games source code be made available than a single port to a single platform any day. Especially since in doing so it decouples the games from Steamworks or any other potential forms of DRM. I am still waiting for the day I can play Rage natively on my machine without the Steamworks requirement, like what is possible with Doom3: BFG already. This idea I support fullyHowever, I dont think that a good business case can be made for officially supporting Linux for mainstream games today, and Zenimax doesnt have any policy of unofficial binaries like Id used to have. I have argued for their value (mostly in the context of experimental Windows features, but Linux would also benefit), but my forceful internal pushes have been for the continuation of Id Softwares open source code releases, which I feel have broader benefits than unsupported Linux binaries.
I do not support the idea of WINE as a primarily means for gaming however. I do use it and recognize it's value, but I am also well aware it's shortfalls. The sound is not working for me at the moment, and for the longest time doing anything with it (like launching FirstClass so I could send off my school assignments) would bork my sound server (it has now thankfully settled down somewhat and simply does not work without borking anything else). And there are so many other technical and practical reasons why his proposal is a bad idea, from increased overheard, worse support, and of course the message it sends out.
But just because we disagree with him does not mean he should be singled out for the abuse shown in this thread. Please, comment responsibly.

How to Select
How to shop for radiant floor heating
Radiant floor heating is a method of keeping a room or an apartment warm by installation of heat source coils under the floor. The system includes heating elements that are installed in several coils under tiles, stone, laminate or carpet floors and thermostats that allow the user to set the desired room temperature that is reached fast. These advanced heating systems provide an incomparable comfort by ensuring equal warmth everywhere; they are environmentally friendly, quiet and easy to maintain. Therefore this heating method is becoming very popular for kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, hall and other household applications.
There are several types of underfloor heating that differ by voltage, length, coverage and number of loops per manifold. The basic radiant floor systems that are used for residential applications are electric and hydronic floors; in addition there are radiant air floors that are used in commercial buildings.
Electric floor heating is the most popular type of radiant heating systems. These floors are maintenance free, reliable, efficient and thin; thus, they will not raise the floor level. They are simple, easy and, therefore, cheaper to install; they use fewer components than hydronic systems. These elements work best when installed over a concrete floor base and under stone, tile and marble flooring materials. These floorings absorb the heat and radiate it slowly, therefore providing energy efficient process. At the same time, electric systems are expensive to run as electricity is quite expensive. Therefore, they are perfect for heating of small cold floor areas that don't have a boiler or water heater installed, such as bathroom, kitchens or hallways.
Hydronic floor heating systems involve hot water that is circulating in the under floor tubing. These systems are a little complicated and expensive to install as they need to be set firmly in cement are require a boiler or a heater to operate. The water for the systems of this kind can be heated by different devices such as water heaters, wood stoves, heat pumps, solar collectors, gas heater and on-demand water heaters; they consume much less electricity than electrical devices. This is why this heating equipment can be used for large floor areas or the entire house and can be used with wood, linoleum or vinyl floor coverings.
Air heated floors that circulate hot air through duct systems placed under the floor don't store heat; therefore they are not efficient, expensive and are not recommended for residential use. In addition, they require complicated installation and maintenance that should be regularly performed.
Regardless of what type, size or voltage of radiant floor heating you decide to purchase, it will be cost effective, allowing you to save big on heating bills.

By 2003, India had been growing at almost 6% annually since 1992, after it suffered a financial collapse, abandoned import substitution, and moved gradually to adopt the Washington Consensus. Now, financial controls and competition barriers are less burdensome, inflation is lower, and the current account is balanced. However, the finance minister faces difficulties with massive fiscal deficits and continuing disturbances with Pakistan that seem to deter foreign direct investment (FDI). The question facing him is whether India can reduce these deficits (in the face of a 2004 election) or whether to let them slide, hoping that India's entrepreneurs and high-tech southern states will carry the day.

Wheeeeee, and Firefox 27 is gonna be awesome. My great-great-grandchildren are gonna have so much fun with it.
Phoronix: Firefox 6 Should Sort Out Linux GPU Acceleration
Mozilla Firefox 4.0 was released in March with many new features, including GPU-based acceleration, but on the Linux side this support was disabled. The Mozilla developers found the Linux GPU driver support to be a problem, even with the open-source solutions. It looks like though by Firefox 6 the Linux GPU acceleration will be in better standing...
Wheeeeee, and Firefox 27 is gonna be awesome. My great-great-grandchildren are gonna have so much fun with it.
Michael, how about a news post on the CPU side as well? Posted on slashdot not so long ago, Firefox 6 is the first stable linux ff to finally build with PGO.
Firefox 6 should be out before the next Ubuntu release.
why is firefox 4 being dismissed so early? how many drastic changes will there be to create an entire new version? firefoxes 2 and 3 lasted for a very very long time, but i'm getting the impression that version 4 and 5 will be maintained for less than a year.
i don't think most devleopers understand how version numbering works, its really irritating. off the top of my head, virtualbox is the same way. there was no reason at all to go from 3.2 to 4.0.
I hope they can restrain themselves from using GPU acceleration for stupid GUI effects, and really limit it to content. Otherwise you'll always have the GPU with its miserable power management (compared to a modern CPU) in high gear during ordinary browsing.
Didn't the firefox devs said that linux hw acceleration was already provided by xrender?
I'm a bit confused now.
moving to a shorter release cycle after version 4. This is because Firefox has been losing market share to Chrome, which has very short release cycles. Also, most of version 4 was ready months ahead of the official release, but bugs in some of the features meant they couldn't release it, and 3.6 had to stick around longer than they would have liked.
The idea is to modularize new features and have fewer of them per version, so they can bring out new features more quickly and avoid repeating the version 4 delays.

4. What an Elf Would Do
"Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood," the tall Elf announced, presenting the royal summons which he had received from Queen Undomiel to the Guard of the Citadel. Bowing deeply, the guard said, "We will inform Queen Undomiel of your arrival at once," then calling for a page, he continued, "Show Prince Legolas to the Queen's Garden."
Legolas followed the young man in black livery through the Court of the Fountain where the white sapling was thriving, through echoing passageways of pillared stone, down a short flight of steps and out an arched double door to the Queen's garden. Looking around, he was pleased to see that the trees and flowering bushes which he and his fellow Elves had planted here looked vibrant and healthy.
He remembered the work they had done to make this place a serene retreat, a sanctuary of green in this city of stone. When he had come, as he had promised, with his team of Elven gardeners, Aragorn had insisted that the transformation of this place be their first project. He intended it to be an anniversary present for his beautiful bride, Arwen Undomiel, the most noble lady of the High Elves yet remaining in Middle Earth.
Through the weeks of their labor, Aragorn had insisted that their work remain hidden from Arwen until the task was complete. Only then would he allow her to see his long awaited gift for her.
It had been Midsummer Night, Legolas remembered. He and a score of other Elves had climbed into the trees, to await the Lady's arrival. Silver lamps of Elvish design bathed the garden in soft, white light. As twilight faded into evening, Aragorn had at last escorted his lady, blindfolded, into the garden. As he uncovered her eyes, the chorus of Elves had begun singing in the tree tops.
Legolas would never forget the look of wonder on her face. Joy transformed her countenance from beauty to a stunning radiance. Her eyes shone like stars. She embraced and kissed Aragorn with grateful delight.
Legolas' heart had swelled with pride to have given this noble lady such pleasure. He had a profound reverence for her, which was completely devoid of covetousness. What he wanted more than anything in the world was to see Arwen happy, and Aragorn made her happy.
He wondered why she had summoned him. He was more than willing to help her in any way he might. Her summons had been urgent, but somewhat vague.
The Queen hurried into the garden toward him. "Dear Legolas, thank you so much for coming. I'm in desperate need of aid, and I believe you alone can assist me."
Legolas was appalled by the change which had come over her since he'd seen her last. Her face bore the marks of extreme fatigue, and the light in her eyes had all but died. They were red from weeping, and her skin had an unnatural, sickly pallor. Her whole demeanor reminded him of one who is overborne by grief.
"Lady Undomiel, how may I be of service to you?"
"Please, dear friend, I beg you, find my husband!"
"What has happened to him?"
"He disappeared without a word, riding off into the night without telling anyone. He took only a few things with him, gear such as he might take on a hunting trip. No one has seen or heard from him for over a month now. We don't even know whether he's alive or dead." In just recounting this story, the Queen was having difficulty holding back the tears. It was painful for Legolas to see her in such distress.
"And what's more, if Aragorn doesn't return soon Faramir plans to crown Eldarion as king. Please, Legolas, you know my husband as well as anyone alive. If anyone can find him, you can."
"Have you any idea where he might have gone? Any clue which direction he headed?"
"Only this," Arwen answered, producing a piece of parchment from her sleeve, "shortly after I sent the summons to you, we received word that a horse similar to his was seen wandering free in the fields of Anorien, near Mardol. Though several people have reported seeing the horse, no one has thus far been able to capture it. I know that's not much to go on…"
"Don't worry, my Lady. I will do whatever I can," the Elf assured her. "I am honored to be of service."
Legolas had ridden out in haste, and arrived quickly in the village where sightings of the horse had been reported. The villagers agreed that they had seen a chestnut brown horse roaming free in the fields north east of their town. Several attempts had been made to capture the animal, but none had been successful.
Legolas rode out to the pasture lands where the horse had been sighted. Dismounting, he bent his ear to the ground and listened intently. The sound of distant hoofbeats coming from the direction of the mountains was unmistakable. Remounting, he turned his own horse in the same direction.
As he rode, the Elf watched the ground. Soon the tell-tale signs that a horse had passed that way were everywhere to be found. From the age of some of the animal's scat, it was obvious that it had been roaming out here for several weeks.
Legolas turned his keen eyes to the horizon. Scanning in all directions, he was soon able to spot the truant gelding. Speaking to his own horse in Elvish, he urged it to gallop toward a high rock face near the mountains' foot.
The escaped animal spotted the Elf coming and turned and ran in the opposite direction. This didn't surprise him. The horse was wary of people and had clearly become quite skilled in evading capture, but he had never encountered a hunter like Legolas.
Coming to the foot of the rock face, the Elf dismounted and whispered to his horse in his native tongue. The white animal nickered, shook its mane and began contentedly eating the tall grass. Meanwhile her master clambered up the steep cliff face, clinging to hand and foot holds which were barely visible in the sheer rock. In a few minutes, the Elf arrived at the summit. Crouching low to the ground, he crept like a large cat to the edge of the cliff. He waited there, in perfect silence, poised to spring.
Ten minutes passed, then twenty. Legolas remained perfectly still, barely breathing, as he peered down to the plain twelve feet below.
Soon, the runaway spotted the Elf's horse, and trotted over to meet his new neighbor. The two horses snorted at one another amicably. Having sniffed the white horse and determined that she was not a threat, the gelding lowered his head to graze.
In that instant, the Elf sprang like a wildcat down from the cliff onto the brown horse's back. The horse laid its ears back and tore off across the pasture land, screaming as though a Nazgul were at its heels. Hanging on for his life, Legolas gripped the terrified creature with his knees as it careened across the field. He leaned far forward on its neck, gently stroking it and speaking soothing Elvish words in its ears. The animal slowed his pace and began to relax, soon recognizing that the cat on his back had no claws.
Legolas turned the horse and rode back to where his own animal was complacently looking on. "What can you tell me about your Master, hm?" he asked, dismounting and beginning to examine the truant horse from nose to tail. It was obvious from the brand on his flank that the animal had come from the royal stables. "Why would Aragorn leave you behind?" The horse bore no claw marks or other signs of injury from predators. He began examining the animal's hooves, one at a time, and quickly discovered the answer. The animal's back left shoe was missing.
Aragorn would have known that he could not continue riding this animal for a long distance without having it re-shod. Yet this close to Minas Tirith, he had obviously been unwilling to risk being recognized if he took the horse to a blacksmith. The horse would be fine if he turned it loose, and he would have assumed that someone would catch it eventually.
Legolas thought it most likely that Aragorn had been heading for the North to the regions where he had grown up and lived as a Ranger. Such a long journey would require a horse, though. Deprived of his mount, and at risk of being recognized, where would Aragorn go next?
"When hunting one must think like the quarry. He didn't want to be recognized by a blacksmith. He felt vulnerable. He would look for cover," the Elf thought. Legolas looked up at the high mountain range looming over the plain. That would be the next place to search, but first he needed to return Aragorn's horse.
Slipping a halter of rope around the gelding's neck, Legolas mounted his own horse and began leading the run-away back toward the village. He stayed near the foot of the mountain, his keen eyes scanning its terrain as he rode past. He noted every slope that looked like it would provide an easy path up the mountain for the Ranger.
As they passed by, he noticed a rock face which jutted out at the top, creating a sloping recess at the bottom. Legolas signaled his horse to stop. There was something unusual here, something which warranted further investigation.
Against the rock wall, at its base, there was a pile of stones. They were heaped up like a funeral cairn, but there were far too few to conceal a body, and the little cairn did not smell of death. Legolas dismounted and began examining the pile, carefully removing a few of the rocks at the top. He had discovered another missing piece of the puzzle. Concealed beneath the rock pile were a saddle, and the bit and metal parts of a bridle. The reigns, and all the other leather parts of the headstall had been removed, as had the straps which should have connected the stirrups to the saddle. There was no sign of a saddle blanket, either.
This was obviously the work of a Ranger. He had been forced to abandon his horse, but he would not abandon anything of the horse's tack which could prove useful in the wilderness. After taking all that could serve him, he had cached the saddle, and other pieces of harness under these rocks, where they would be safe from discovery and relatively safe from damage by weather, in case he might have need of them in the future.
Legolas looked over the slopes in the area around the rock overhang. There were a few different paths which Aragorn might have taken up the mountain, but he had undoubtedly started from this location. Replacing the rocks piled over the saddle, the Elf hurried back to the village with the horses. He was certain now of what his next move must be.
By the next day he had returned to this spot, having taken both horses to the local farrier. He left instructions for Aragorn's horse to be re-shod, and for both it and his own horse to be returned to Minas Tirith, along with a message for the Queen reporting his progress so far. If Aragorn were on foot, the easiest way to track him would be on foot. He might easily have taken paths which the Elf's horse couldn't follow.
Legolas began his trek up into the mountains, in pursuit of his quarry. There were three things which Aragorn would need to survive in the mountains: food, water, and fire. The most critical of these needs was water, so Legolas began searching for any stream, spring or rivulet which might have attracted the Ranger.
After a few hours search, he found what he was looking for: a small mountain stream flowing down from the heights above. He followed the stream, searching for footprints, broken branches any evidence that a Man might have passed this way. It wasn't long before he found a tell-tale sign. At the base of a large rock, the ground beside the stream was covered with fine grey ashes. Legolas rubbed some between his fingers and brought it to his nose. It was pipeweed ash, the odor was unmistakable. The hunter was closing in.
The day was fading and the new moon would not afford much visibility for Legolas to continue his search. Though he felt little need for rest, he didn't want to overlook a vital clue in the darkness. Somewhat frustrated, he sat down to consider the situation. It was then that he caught the faint wisp of wood smoke coming from far away on the evening breeze. Was his nose sharp enough to guide him in the dark? He decided to try it for a few hours, any way.
Around midnight the smoky smell dissipated completely. Aragorn must have put out his fire for the night. Without the scent to guide him, Legolas decided to rest until dawn and continue his search by daylight.
At first light, the Elf resumed his hunt. Always staying fairly close to the stream, he ranged through the woods searching for clues. At one point, he found a clearing where wood chips littered the ground, giving evidence that Aragorn had used his small hatchet to split some firewood. Legolas rubbed his fingers lightly over them. There was still a trace of dampness on the rough surface. These chips had lain here less than a week.
The light was fading, and the smell of wood smoke began to rise on the wind. For a second night, Legolas followed the scent of smoke as long as he could. When it could guide him no further, he laid down to rest and lose himself awhile among the stars of Elbereth.
The Elf was up before the sun. He continued making his way upstream, searching both banks and the nearby woods for signs of the Ranger.
In the mud by the stream bed he found the unmistakable mark of the Ranger's heavy boot. Up the hill, he found an oak tree, which upon careful examination, appeared to be missing all the acorns from its lower branches. What's more, some of the stems had not been torn, but cut with a knife blade. These stems were still oozing sap.
Legolas quickly climbed to the top of the tree. From this vantage point, his sharp eyes could see far and wide. In the sky, not too far distant, he saw a flock of geese flying in a "V" formation. He could have counted the birds as they made their way south for the winter. Suddenly there was a cry of alarm, and one of the birds plummeted to the ground, an arrow in its breast. A hunter had brought down his goose. Now the Elf must go and bring down the hunter. He took off at full speed, racing through the woods like a stag to the place where he'd seen the bird fall.
Legolas ran tirelessly for hours on end. Now that he'd located his prey, he didn't want him to run for cover. He knew he was closing in. He had found the spot where the bird had fallen. A few scattered feathers bore witness that it had been killed there. From there he could see the smoke rising above the top of a nearby ridge. He followed it over the ridge and down to a hollow below on the stream-ward side of the summit. Taking a deep breath, Legolas paused for a moment. From here, he could clearly see Aragorn, tending his fire and preparing to roast his goose. He made his way quietly into the Man's camp.
The Ranger's rugged face brightened as he saw the Elf approaching.
"Mae Govannon, Legolas! You are most welcome, old friend." Gripping the Elf's forearm, he clapped him warmly on the shoulder. "It's good to see you." Legolas noticed his voice was gruff from disuse. Could he have been out here that long?
Legolas studied the Man's face. The grizzled streaks in his beard and at his temples were far more pronounced than when last they'd met. He was thin. Too thin for his large frame, the Elf decided.
"You're just in time," Aragorn said, gesturing to the goose roasting on a spit over his fire. I can't offer you much to drink, but this is the fattest goose I've shot in days, and I'd be glad to share it with you."
"Now there's an offer I can't refuse. And in exchange for your hospitality, you're welcome to share a little of the best Mirkwood's cellars can furnish," the Elf laughed as he produced a wineskin from his pack.
Man and Elf sat down beside the fire, taking turns at the spit as they discussed old friends and old times, battles they had fought and places they had traveled. They laughed heartily over old jokes, as if this were nothing unusual, as if it were the most natural thing in the world to find the King of Gondor living like a vagabond.
Sitting by the fire, they ate their fill of the roasted goose, and drank their fill of the wine, passing the skin back and forth between them. The sun set and the stars began to twinkle in the sky.
Finally Legolas said, "Aragorn, why are you here?"
There was a long silence as Aragorn stared into the embers. He took anther sip of wine then said, "You've never been married, have you Legolas?" Aragorn gave his friend a rueful smile.
At length, he continued, "I tried to take a wild nightingale and cage her in a city of stone. And now she sings no more. She has grown weary of me, Legolas, and I fear she has grown weary of this world." This was not hard for the Elf to believe, considering her condition when he had last seen her.
Aragorn went on, "So, I will no longer be her keeper. I had to leave to set her free." The fire flared up as Aragorn stirred the embers and the sorrow in his eyes was unmistakable. "I don't deserve her," he concluded with a sigh.
"No. Maybe you don't!" The indignation in his friend's voice took Aragorn by surprise. He stared at Legolas.
"Well, what should I have done? Kept her a prisoner? Demanded she stay?"
"Do you know what an Elf would have done, what an Elf would do, were he in your place? He wouldn't run away, disappearing into the night without a word. He would do what Elrond did for Arwen's own mother. If his lady was weary of this world, an Elf would escort her to the Havens himself and put her safely on a ship."
Aragorn knew in his heart that his friend was right. This was what Arwen would expect of him. This was what he was really running from. He found it far easier to walk away and imagine that she had gone than it would be to kiss her goodbye and stand alone on the quay, watching her ship disappear beyond the horizon. It would be far worse for him than for any Elf in his position, because he knew he could never follow her. There would be no reunion on a distant shore. He would lose her for eternity.
He would have liked to explain this to Legolas, but he already knew what his friend would say. He would tell him that if he loved Arwen so deeply, he would do what was best for her, even if it caused him pain.
He knew he ought to go back, but if he did so, he would be compelled to remain on as King. If he had to live the rest of his life alone, he preferred to do so in the solitude of the wild. With time, the wound Arwen's abandonment would inflict on him might heal in the wilderness, though he would always bear the scar. But the thought of life in Minas Tirith without the woman he loved, sentenced to live out his days and nights alone in a place where everything would remind him of her, would be a lifelong torment. It was more than he could bear.
"If you cannot find the courage to go back and escort her to the Havens, then let her come to you and bid her farewell face to face. The Lady is worthy of at least so much courtesy."
Aragorn didn't argue, but stared shamefacedly into the fire, chastened by his sword brother's reproof.
"I will bring her here when the moon is at its full. If ever you were a Man of honor, if ever the lady was worthy of your love, you will meet with her and speak to her."
"Agreed," said Aragorn.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently approved a drug-coated stent for use in angioplasty procedures. The stent is expected to reduce the rate of repeat procedures due to restenosis and to postpone the need for more invasive surgery, such as coronary bypass. However, the drug-coated stent costs three times as much as an uncoated stent, which will increase the cost of the medical procedure. Public demand for the stent is overwhelming; however, because of the higher cost and huge demand, the cost of medical care could increase dramatically. Examines the trade-off between quality improvements and higher costs of medical treatment by looking at the impact on several stakeholders: patients, hospitals and insurers.
learning objective:
To require students to think about the trade-off between quality improvements and higher costs of medical treatment by looking at the impact on several stakeholders: patients, hospitals, and insurers, particularly the government-run program Medicare. The central ethical issue in the case is the decision about what should drive the provision of medical care--economics or quality. Students also are asked to examine the ethical dilemma facing physicians and hospitals, who must deal with the prospect of lower incomes as drug-eluting stents are used more frequently. Also provides examples of basic marginal analysis in a real-world, non-accounting setting.
subjects covered:
Business ethics; Economic analysis; Technological change
- Geographic: United States
- Industry: Health care services

|Merit Factors of Polynomials Formed by Jacobi Symbols
We give explicit formulas for the $L_4$ norm (or equivalently for the merit factors) of various sequences of polynomials related to the polynomials $$ f(z) := \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} \leg{n}{N} z^n. $$ and $$ f_t(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} \leg{n+t}{N} z^n. $$ where $(\frac{\cdot}{N})$ is the Jacobi symbol. Two cases of particular interest are when $N = pq$ is a product of two primes and $p = q+2$ or $p = q+4$. This extends work of H{\o}holdt, Jensen and Jensen and of the authors. This study arises from a number of conjectures of Erd\H{o}s, Littlewood and others that concern the norms of polynomials with $-1,1$ coefficients on the disc. The current best examples are of the above form when $N$ is prime and it is natural to see what happens for composite~$N$.

This attitude will get us nowhere.
Most of the people want Open Source software because it tends to be better, simply because people can change it and because it is free.
NVidia is marketleader, and always ahead on the competition. They don't want to document their technology because they are afraid this might be used by the competition.
NVidia does however release free, market leading drivers for Linux users, making it the best choice performance wise. Therefore it isn't so much of an issue to me and I think most of the users.
I understand you would rather have it opened up, but there are a lot more things to worry about in Linux world then NVidia right now. Actually if more company's would react like NVidia, Linux would have been much further right now.

You and I both can't be sure about it of course. We can't come with evidence of it, since it's impossible to take a look at all programs, and O.S.S. hasn't gotten as much attention as C.S.S had.
Your second point is just the way things usually go with everything (C.S.S. included). For example: There is only a small percentage of the population educated/trained/experienced enough to know allot about cars. Yet everyone thinks he knows something about them, and bitches about how bad a specific brand/model of car is because in the past blablabla...
It's all a bit Philosophical tho. I don't think anyone will ever be able to solve the C.S.S. VS O.S.S. battle.
There are so much 1/2 finished, abandoned, or just poorly developed foss software out there that I really would have to say that proprietary stuff has a better record of project completion simply for the fact that the majority of the developers are getting paid to do so. Over 2/3's of sourceforge for example comprises of projects that never got off the ground, never completed or unmaintained for example. Commercial closed source development generally doesn't abandon development until a project is at least to a certian level of completion unless absolutely necessary.
Just a note on NVIDIA and their "quality drivers". I have had numerous unresolved issues with my 7900gs on both Linux and Vista. Some of these I've had for more than a year. To me, NVIDIA exemplify the benefit of open source drivers at least. When a manufacturer decides to stop supporting your product (and in the graphics world a refresh seems to be every 6 months), then with proprietary software you are left with peanuts. Windows devs themselves recognised the issue with device drivers. They apparently have been the cause for most of the Windows crashes in their past OSs. For Vista they decided to go down the driver signing route, which seems a bit silly since they only thing it guarentees is that the company can afford to purchase a Certificate from a CA and purchase the WDK signing kit or whatever. It's a pity that Microsoft dislikes open source stuff so much, because having some form of open source drivers in Windows would be infinitely more useful to their OS team than these "signed" drivers.
Where did the train go?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate AMD/ATI attempts to support the OS community, but the drivers are simply not as good as the ones we get from NVidia on both Windows and Linux (for now).

By 2008, a number of the firm's early cleantech investments were showing promise, and the companies were starting to need significantly more money to create the massive scale required in the energy sector. As Khosla thought about the hundreds of millions of dollars required by his portfolio companies, he wondered how he should position his firm at this stage of development. Should Khosla develop a new fund that focused on later-stage investments? Should he seek investments from large industry players such as the major oil companies? Should he try raising money from the managers of the sovereign funds in countries such as Singapore, Kuwait and China? How should the firm work with its strategic partners? Khosla knew that lining up enough later stage funding would be challenging, as the cleantech industry was still unproven for investors. Nevertheless, he was determined to continue his pattern of making bold investments in this emerging field.

Malaga, the hometown of Picasso, is known for its clear blue skies and a beach that stretches on for miles. Although the town is a perfect destination for a relaxing seaside holiday, you'll also find plenty of culture, different sporting events and fantastic local food.
The cuisine of Malaga is clearly influenced by the proximity of the Mediterranean. The port town boasts plenty of small restaurants dotted along the pier, each serving mouth-wateringly fresh seafood and local delicacies. All lovers of fish must try espetos, sardines skewered on a stick and grilled over a roaring open fire.
For those in want of a little dose of culture, Malaga offers many museums, architectural curiosities and events. You could, for example, pay a visit to Picasso's childhood home that has since been beautifully restored and converted into a museum.
You'll also find plenty of sporting activities around Malaga. In fact, it's a great destination for those who want to combine a relaxing beach holiday with more physical activities. Costa del Sol boasts many international standard golf courses, and the countryside around Malaga is extremely well suited for cross-country cycling, trekking and even rock-climbing.
The airport is located 8 km southwest of Malaga.

What this proves however is that you do not need a super fast language to create a great game, as great games really aren't about pushing as many polygons as possible or having the greatest texture antialiasing, the realization of this is what the indie games sector is now reaping the benefits from. You can certainly create great games in Python, Ruby, Lua <insert your favourite language here> since they can all have a native code library and hardware accelerated graphics do the heavy lifting these days.
If however you do need to get every last cycle out of the machine then you will turn to C/C++ and possibly assembly for particularly critical parts.
I wish the Mono devs the best in their endeavours as a cross-platform game development solution, Miguel and his team certainly love C# and I wish upon everyone the chance of making a living out of working on things they love to do.

From SRB
←Older revision | Newer revision→
The Server Download page includes a link to an install.pl script which makes it easier to do an basic installation of SRB/MCAT for testing.
SBB_Install_Notes.doc is a Word document with detailed descriptions of the installation procedure written by the CCLRC e-Science Data Management Group of the UK. (If someone would like to convert this to MediaWiki and add it here, please do; it would be good to integrate the information.)
(This was the README.first.htm file; needs to be updated)
i) Starting with SRB 2.0.0, installation procedures have been changed to use the "configure" script. Please read README.build for details. Starting with 2.1.1, there is now an install.pl script to handle certain types of installations. ii) The Sput and Sget commands support parallel I/O. But the DEFAULT I/O mode is SERIAL. Please use the -m option or set the env variable "srbParallel" to any value to switch the I/O mode to parallel. With 2.1, the server can be configured with the number of parallel threads to use. iii) The previous versions (1.1.8) of MCAT are not compatible with the 2.0 and 2.1 releases. At SDSC, we are starting to upgrade the MCATs of various projects to 2.x. If you are using one of the MCATs at SDSC, please email email@example.com for the status of the MCAT upgrade.
See the ReleaseNotesX.Y[.Z] files (for example, ReleaseNotes2.1.1) for features of the releases.

It describes from start to finish the installation of MCAT, MES (MCAT enable server), other SRB resource servers and client softwares. The install note is based on a Linux system with Oracle 9i as the database for MCAT. However, most of the note is applicable to other OS and DMBS.
