The Mayor of Naas, Co. Kildare, has resigned after he made a comment on local radio that he would not represent people of black African origin.
Fine Gael Councillor Darren Scully,a friend of Prime Minister Enda Kenny, made the remarks on local radio Kildare FM on Tuesday morning. He said he had decided not to represent black Africans due to their "aggressive" attitude towards him.
"I have been met with aggressiveness, I have been met with bad manners," he claimed. "I have also been played the race card - it's been said, 'Oh yeah, you will help white people, but you don't help black people'."
The former mayor continued, "After a while I made a decision that I was just not going to take on representations from black Africans, that I would be very courteous to them and I would pass on their query to other public representatives who would take their concerns."
His comments evoked strong public criticism as well as his own party, Fine Gael, distancing themselves from his remarks. Members of the Labour Party called for Scully to resign.
Naas Town Council called a special meeting for Tuesday evening to discuss the comments, but the 38-year-old resigned before it happened.

He issued the following statement: "I wish to apologize unreservedly for my remarks on 4FM and KFM. I realize they have caused deep hurt and offence in all communities and in all sectors of society.
"I have been proud to be Mayor of Naas and to represent all the people of the town. However, as a result of the upset that I have caused, I feel it is appropriate that I step down from this position."
Fine Gael issued this statement: "The views expressed by Cllr Scully do not reflect the views of Fine Gael and they are not party policy.
"Fine Gael is an inclusive party and we are trying to build a country that caters for all."
The Equality Authority described Mr Scully's remarks as very concerning. "We will be very concerned that any member of the public would be denied access to the democratic process," a spokesman told the Irish Times.
"Equally, it is very concerning that the actions of one individual would brand an entire sector and community, and deny them access to the democratic process."

Fantasy Films That Get the Thumbs Down
We love to gush about the fantasy flicks we love, but are there any that strike you as a stinker, or just disappointing?
I've got a few!
First I'd probably list the Robin Williams flick What Dreams May Come. The promos looked beautiful with its great special effects and vision of Heaven and Hell, but when I saw the flick, I ended up with a dreary, overwrought soap opera that had too many flashbacks. Big disappointment.
Also, I'd add The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter. The first one was a masterpiece. This sequel is just so-so. And the direct-to-video third one is...ugh.
Then there's Legend. It's not too bad, but it always had a weird vibe to it. Tim Curry was awesome in it, though.
Finally, I'd put Dungeons and Dragons. Most of the effects are very good, but this flick felt like one half Star Wars, one quarter Indiana Jones, and one quarter Lord of the Rings, mixed in not very distinctively.

The first one was a masterpiece - although there were still many many things that they did wrong from the book. The first one (if you saw my long list of movies in the intro thread) is my FAVE movie of all time
Then there's Legend. It's not too bad, but it always had a weird vibe to it. Tim Curry was awesome in it, though.
And Tim Curry was awesome in it. As was Tom Cruise.

Eragon-the book's good, not the best, but good coming from a boy who started writing at fifteen. But the movie, oh man what a stinker. The acting was laughable, corny lines, and way too much deviated from the book. To enjoy Eragon, you must treat it as a comedy, instead of a fantasy film
Earthsea tv movie- NO! I hate it! Too much deviates from Ursula Le Guin's masterpiece, if she hated it, then you know it must be bad. Tip:Avoid this trash at all costs
A Wrinkle in Time tv movie: Lesson 1 in book adaptation: do not try and modernize the book, leave it the way it is, searching tesseracts on the computer, IT drinking slushies with Calvin, Mrs. Whatsit talking through a tv., and I know not important but, instead of liver sandwiches and hot cocoa, we get peanut butter and jelly and hot cocoa at the beginning, when the whole family eats together. I'm sorry but everything about this film must have left poor Madeleine L'engle in tears.
Movies that I hope are not disasters:
The Dark is Rising
Spiderwick Chronicles
Stardust:Which I am seeing today!
The Golden Compass

I loved Legend. The storyline was pretty week, but the way the movie was shot and the AMAZING diversity of fantasy characters was incredible. I'd be willing to be that Peter Jackson's vision of what Orcs look like came from Legend. Tim Curry was brilliant as the devil--showed that even he, the Tempter, could be tempted. And what was that thing beneath the water, the sea hag or something like that? That scared the Corn Pops out of me.
I'm hoping they'll put out an anniversary edition of Legend on DVD. I'd love to get something with behind-the-scenes stuff to watch. {I know, I'm a geek for that kind of thing though}
Let's see, fantasy stinkers, hmmm:
Two in the LOVE/HATE category:
The original cartoon of The Hobbit--loved it because of the art, the characterization of Gandalf and esp. Smaug, but that doofy, falsetto guy singing on the soundtrack--eeek, what was that about?
Ralph Bashki's Lord of the Rings Movie/Animated Movie--I've read some people's scathing thoughts on this. I actually liked it. I thought Frodo and Gandalf were well done. Aragorn looked like a goon, and Samwise, well, they made him a blithering idiot. But my favorite part was Lothlorien. I thought Bashki was SPOT ON with Galadriel--even better than Peter Jackson's version. IMHO. I guess the only thing I hated about it was that there were no sequels. It ended with the fellowship.
I'm sure there must have been some fantasy movie I hated, but I tend to forget movies I don't like.

Oh, does this mean I get to bag Eragon legitimately? Great!
Spoilers and Sarcasm Ahead:
Hm..let's see..where do I start in on the flaws of this dreadful film?
'I suffer without my stone' - still a favourite, ridiculous quote droned out in ridiculous tones among my friends and I.
Hm. My horse can keep up with your huge flying dragon. Yes. Yes, indeed.
Here's an idea! Let's sneak into the big bad guy's castle, magically procure a cloak from nowhere and just...walk in, and about, and whatnot. Who cares! Hey, enemies, come on in! We're even giving away free beer.
Further to that, ancient dragon-rider can also sneak into the bad guy's castle, take free beer, remain unnoticed by all, including hero, and throw himself...in the nick of time...in front of a spear. Not sure how he managed to get in the room...where did he hide? Behind the spears?
Sinister boy in cloak (probably procured from the same place Eragon procured his mysterious cloak) tracks and keeps up with a flying dragon. Sure, we'll assume the dragon has been slowed down by the ailing princess - big fat thing that she is.
Let's blast the cute little LOTR rip-off town with fire and brimstone! And...by the end of the huge battle...ah, where's the fire gone? Doesn't look very burnt to me.
Love the way Eragon manages his hair...it can magically rearrange itself from artfully mussed to perfectly combed from one shot to the next!
'Only you can save us, Luke..I mean Eragon.'

*ahem* I might get pummelled for this, for there are two HUGE LOTR freaks on this forum (that I know of) ... but, I was extremely disappointed with the second movie, and certain aspects of the first and last. There were many things that were wrong - and yes, I understand making books like that into movies is rather difficult, and just begs for things to be changed. However, what was done in the second movie, was just absurd, and if things had been done per the book, the storyline would've moved on a lot faster. I mean ... Shelob is at the end of the 2nd BOOK, but it got pushed to the third movie, because in the second movie they had Faramir take Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath. Taking them to Osgiliath slowed the story down, so they then HAD to push Shelob to the third movie. Not only THAT, but the battle of Helms Deep was a very small factor in the book, while it becomes the focus of the 2nd movie, stretching that scene out much longer than it really was.
And ... I have to ask this. Why didn't Aragorn have THE sword with him throughout all three movies? He had it with him from the beginning of FOTR in the book, in his sheath in two halves, not twenty pieces, and then he had it forged in Rivendell, then took it with him on the quest.
*takes deep breath* Ok, small rant over I don't "hate" it - I was just very very disappointed in some of the choices Peter Jackson made.
The one movie that I'm hoping won't be a disaster is Inkheart. I LOVE the book, and I am so anxious to see the movie - but it doesn't come out till March (I think) 2008! *cries*

I think Rankin-Bass did a pseudo-sequel to the animated LOTR movie with an adaptation of Return of the King. I've never seen it yet, so I don't know how good it is.
Yeah, Legend is fun to look at. I always thought it came off as strange on my initial viewing. I haven't seen it in a while, so a repeat viewing may change my mind.
And there is an ultimate edition of Legend available on DVD, with alternate versions, behind the scenes footage, and a Ridley Scott commentary. Click Here.
LOL...you know, I actually did think Eragon was a rip-off of Star Wars from start to finish. I mean the actual plot line, point by point, with very few exceptions. It amazed me.
What does everyone think of Willow?

I know what you mean about some of the annoying changes in the LOTRs movies. But even with them, I still love the movies and they seriously captured Middle Earth so well and set a precedence no fantasy film has come near yet. Stardust comes close (man that movie was so great and the book is too),so does Narnia, but LOTRs was a masterpiece. Some of the deletions annoyed me, but I still love it and rewatch it way too many times for my own good!

Are we including Sci-fi Fantasy in this listing? There really are too many, but here are some major disappointments for me...Star Trek 5, the one Shatner directed...oh man, it was like a bad root canal...yeah is there a good one?
I also thought the "lovey dovey" scenes in star wars Aotc were so horribly forced that it really threw a wrench into an otherwise good prequel sequel. I realize the acting never touched the caliber of the originals, but at least the effects were better and the increased lightsaber fights were nice.

You can throw in sci-fi if you want.
Star Trek V wasn't one of the good ones, but I've never really met a Trek film I couldn't watch.
Yeah, the romantic dialogue in AOTC was truly horrible. Why couldn't George Lucas find someone else to write those scenes? He admits he's not a very good writer. It wasn't very good in ROTS either.

Watching Ralph Bakshi's LOTR is a soul eating experience. From start, with those pathetic shadow fighters, to finish, with Gandalf riding in on his smiling horse, gypsy music playing in the background, as he kills with bloody efficiency no less than four orcs in close-up.
The Dark is Rising: Trailer looks good, but it looked good for Eragon.
Spiderwick Chronicles: This one has so much potential... I've got my fingers double-crossed.
Stardust: I really want to see this movie.
The Golden Compass: The series got worse as it went on, so GC was the best of the three. I'll probably see it.
I'll add the Inkheart movie to the list.

The Hobbit cartoon is pretty good. However, I really don't like the portrayal of Gollum. In the books, his speech is very simialar to Peter Jackson's trilogy. I just don't feel that the cartoon really captured him well. The song at the beginning is darn near the best part of the whole movie. "This is the greatest adventure" If you want to see something truly horrendous, search youtube for the video of Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. WORST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!! Now that my ramblings are over, I really have nothing more to add.

Other distros are playing catchup to get Steam on their platform. They did the same with PulseAudio, and they'll probably do the same with 'Mir' so they too can have a bite of the Android device marketplace and the QML scene.
Canonical has made Linux what it is today, a verging world success. Everything they do is professional, user friendly, zippy, big strides and or innovative, and now they are hitting the broad device market. In two years Ubuntu will be capable of being on every device, whilst other distros will be playing catchup or acting like it's all sweet in the command line world. The plain fact is some people like their computers on flames, just to repair them or to thinker. Ubuntu on the other hand wants to bring functionality and style to Linux. I'm happy for all flavours of Linux to exist, but Canonical's Ubuntu is leading the pack.
Other distros are playing catchup to get Steam on their platform. They did the same with PulseAudio, and they'll probably do the same with 'Mir' so they too can have a bite of the Android device marketplace and the QML scene.
Does anyone honestly think Canonical wants to build another Display Server protocol? If Wayland could cut the mustard they would have adopted it. It obviously doesn't, nor has it made it to the 'Users'.
Nice try at damage control e8hffff but here no one takes you seriously, we are not that dumb...
If Canonical had invented something that bested Wayland, it might be a different story. However, that is far from the case. Mir is way behind Wayland, and the issues given for not liking Wayland are a) Completely bogus, and b) should have been raised within the Wayland community nearly 8 months ago when Mir was secretly started. The fact that Canonical developers made no attempt to address these "concerns" points to either two possibilities:
1. Canonical is becoming a control-freak like Apple. Mark Shuttleworth is the next Steve Jobs, with grand fantasies of "leading" the Linux community into a brighter future.
2. Or, Canonical has already (despite saying otherwise) gotten NVidia and/or AMD on board with development in collaboration with Valve, and those companies want tight control over the direction of the development (which is concerning all on it's own).
Either option is a bad one IMO, but only time will tell what their true intentions are. Right now, it just looks like they have delusions of grandeur.
God damn i hate those brainwashed retards. Every damn stuff, except unity, u are using on linux is not made by canonical and they didn't even contributed to make stuff better.
Last edited by phoen1x; 03-05-2013 at 09:53 AM.
let them make mir, community will verify what is worth of using and whats not.
unity was shit on first releases, now its usable and really good DE
PA was good for me from the start
noew lets see what they will bake for us next.
Basically, whatever they decide to do, the developers (who care about Linux) will follow. And the rest of Linux will be forced to follow Canonical's decisions at the end of the day as a result.

Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole—a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code.
Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables.
When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language. In JavaScript: The Good Parts, Crockford finally digs through the steaming pile of good intentions and blunders to give you a detailed look at all the genuinely elegant parts of JavaScript, including:
The real beauty? As you move ahead with the subset of JavaScript that this book presents, you'll also sidestep the need to unlearn all the bad parts. Of course, if you want to find out more about the bad parts and how to use them badly, simply consult any other JavaScript book.
With JavaScript: The Good Parts, you'll discover a beautiful, elegant, lightweight and highly expressive language that lets you create effective code, whether you're managing object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run fast. If you develop sites or applications for the Web, this book is an absolute must.
Douglas Crockford is a Senior JavaScript Architect at Yahoo!, well known for introducing and maintaining the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. He's a regular speaker at conferences on advanced JavaScript topics, and serves on the ECMAScript committee.
View Douglas Crockford's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of JavaScript: The Good Parts is a Plain Tiger butterfly (Danaus chrysippus).Outside of Asia, the insect is also known as the African Monarch. It is a medium-size butterfly characterized by bright orange wings with six black spots and alternating black-and-white stripes.
Its striking looks have been noted for millennia by scientists and artists. The writer Vladimir Nabokov--who was also a noted lepidopterist--had admiring words for the butterfly in an otherwise scathing New York Times book review of Alice Ford's Audubon's Butterflies, Moths, and Other Studies (The Studio Publications). In the book, Ford labels drawings made previous to and during Audubon's time in the 19th century as "scientifi-cally [sic] unsophisticated."
In response to Ford, Nabokov writes, "The unsophistication is all her own. She might have looked up John Abbot's prodigious representations of North American lepidoptera, 1797, or the splendid plates of 18th- and early-19th-century German lepidopterists.She might have traveled back some 33 centuries to the times of Tuthmosis IV or Amenophis III and, instead of the obvious scarab, found there frescoes with a marvelous Egyptian butterfly (subtly combining the pattern of our Painted Lady and the body of an African ally of the Monarch)."
While the Plain Tiger's beauty is part of its charm, its looks can also be deadly. During its larval stages, the butterfly ingests alkaloids that are poisonous to birds--its main predator--which are often attracted to the insect's markings. After ingesting the Plain Tiger, a bird will vomit repeatedly--occasionally fatally.If the bird lives, it will let other birds know to avoid the insect, which can also be recognized by its leisurely, meandering pattern of flying low to the earth.

The book that made me love javascript
By Endeios
from Milan
I think that javascript is an abused language. Is too flexible, really easy to learn but a bit hard to master. It has also much people, like me before reading this book, that thinks they know the language.Do you think that javascript is just biblical plague you have to deal with?You just shiver at the thought of having to write javascript?Trust me and all the ones that red this book before me. You just don't know the "Good Parts". They are beautiful.

Hard to extract the useful information
By Rob
from Toronto
About Me Developer
This book goes into rigorous detail on things like the grammer of a for loop but fails to go into enough detail on things like common inheritance patteres in JavaScript becasue it writes off the new operator as a bad part of JavaScript.There are some gems of wisdom in this book but they can be hard to find.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Difficult to understand, repetetive
By tired_time
from Vilnius, Lithuania
Author seems competent in programming, but not in pedagogy and expressing his thoughts understandably. Chapter about grammar explains everything in grammar diagrams. This is just not how humans learn. Then there are chapters introducing some programming techniques many of which were new to me. Text and code in these is too concise and lacks something that lets you understand something you didn't know already. Usually I would read a chapter a couple of times, not understand it, google the chapter name, read a random blog about it and understand the concept then come back to the book and still find the chapter difficult to understand. Code examples include more complexity than is needed to explain the new concept, contain js grammar errors and are cluttered with comments that should be in the main text. They also use functions like slice that are only explained much later in the book. There are many functions written in the book that make JavaScript easier to use. But it seems these functions should have been in some library then, not a book. So in the end it often seems like you are reading source code and usage tips of library that does not exist. It also means that code examples regularly use functions that were defined 40 pages ago and that also causes confusion. I did learn some interesting stuff from these examples though, but I think they are somewhat rarely usable. The book gives some useful warnings about the strange stuff in the language. But then it repeats them 3 times. It also gives some tips about stuff not specific to js: curly braces, comments, etc. Those are repeated many times as well. Most programmers probably heard many opinions about such subjects already. The code he writes is not readable enough for me to give his opinion a lot of weight here. There is more unnecessary stuff hardly related to js. E.g. chapter on Regular Expressions. I feel that I was to harsh here, in the end I did learn quite a lot, 2.3/5

Excellent Primer for JS Developers
By Gary Temme
from NorthTustin, CA
This book does a great job covering the many areas of JavaScript that may not behave as expected for developers with backgrounds in other programming languages. Appendixes A and B are especially helpful in avoiding some of the major gotchas in JavaScript.Fast and Concise read. Great work.

Great reference
By dpskvn
from Croatia
I think that the worst part of this book (if you can call it that) is the fact that a lot of websites/resources/guides/books mention this title as a great introduction to JavaScript, something that this book simply isn't. It's a great re-introduction to JavaScript, one that you should read after developing a certain level of skill in JavaScript development. If you are just starting with JavaScript, pick another book, and then come back to this one, you won't regret it.

Trichinosis (trik-ih-NO-sis), sometimes called trichinellosis, is a type of roundworm infection. Roundworms are parasites that use a host body to stay alive and reproduce. Trichinosis occurs primarily among meat-eating animals (carnivores), especially bears, foxes and walruses. Trichinosis infection is acquired by eating larvae in raw or undercooked meat.
When humans eat undercooked meat containing trichinella larvae, the larvae mature into adult worms in the intestine over several weeks. The adults then produce larvae that migrate through various tissues, including muscle. Trichinosis is most widespread in rural areas throughout the world.
Trichinosis can be treated with medication, though it's not always necessary. It's also easy to prevent.
Abdominal symptoms can occur within two to seven days of infection. Other symptoms usually start one to eight weeks later. Severity of symptoms usually depends on the number of larvae consumed in the infected meat.
Mild cases of trichinosis — those with only a small number of parasites in your body — may cause no recognizable symptoms. Symptoms can develop with moderate or heavy infestation, sometimes progressing as the parasite migrates through your body.
You swallow trichinella larvae encased in a cyst. Your digestive juices dissolve the cyst, releasing the parasite into your body. The larvae then penetrate the intestine, where they mature into adult worms and mate. At this stage, you may experience:
About a week after infection, the adult female worms produce larvae that penetrate the intestinal wall, enter your bloodstream, and eventually burrow into muscle or other tissue. This tissue invasion can cause:
If you have a mild case of trichinosis with no symptoms, you may never need medical attention. If you notice gastrointestinal problems or muscle pain and swelling about a week after eating pork or wild-animal meat, talk to your doctor.
There is no effective treatment to eliminate trichinella once larvae invade tissue. At that point, treatment is for symptoms only until the parasites die on their own.
People get trichinosis when they eat undercooked meat — such as pork, bear, walrus or horse — that is infected with the immature form (larvae) of the trichinella roundworm. In nature, animals are infected when they feed on other infected animals. Pigs and horses can become infected with trichinosis when they feed on garbage containing infected meat scraps. Other cases have been linked to eating beef that was mixed with infected pork or ground in a grinder previously used for contaminated pork.
Due to increased regulation of pork feed and products in the United States, pigs have become a less common source of infection. Wild animals, including bear, continue to be sources of infection.
Risk factors for trichinosis include:
Except in severe cases, complications related to trichinosis are rare. In cases of heavy infestation, larvae can migrate to vital organs, causing potentially dangerous complications, including:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. In some cases, you may be referred to an infectious disease specialist.
To get the most from your appointment, it's good to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For trichinosis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
Trichinella larvae bury themselves inside muscle tissue rather than remain in the intestine as in other roundworm infections, so stool sample tests don't often show evidence of the parasite. The initial diagnosis relies on the classic signs and symptoms — swelling around the eyes, muscle inflammation and fever. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may use these tests:
Trichinosis usually isn't serious and often gets better on its own, usually within a few months. However, fatigue, mild pain, weakness and diarrhea may linger for months or even years. Symptomatic infections may respond to treatment with medication.
The best defense against trichinosis is proper food preparation. Follow these tips to avoid trichinosis:

The Story of Yo: The Oral History of the Beastie Boys
How did three beer-chugging, groupie-grabbing white boys in matching Chinese gym suits become hip-hop elder statesmen and the brains and conscience of alternative culture? Old roommates, high-school friends, funky bosses, hangers-on, and the occasional pop star cough up everything you never needed to know about the Beastie Boys.
Adam Yauch (a. k.a. MCA, Beastie Boy): I met this guy John Berry at Tier 3, a little teeny hole-in-the-wall punk club in Manhattan. One day he brought Mike [Diamond] with him. They had this band called the Young Aborigines' Mike D played drums, John played guitar, Kate Schellenbach played percussion.
John Berry (former Beastie Boy): When I first met Adam Yauch, he was the funniest motherfucker I'd ever met in my life. He had this incredible knack for picking up somebody's voice. He was really into Monty Python, especially the "Silly Walk" skit.
Adam Horovitz (a.k.a. King Ad-Rock, Beastie Boy): I have this memory of seeing Yauch at a record store. He wore an overcoat and boots and just looked funny. I'm not saying that I looked cool. But he looked funny.
Sasha Frere-Jones (member, Ui; journalist): I went to St. Ann's in Brooklyn Heights, this private progressive school. Mike D came in as a junior. He was from Manhattan, wore an Isaac Hayes T-shirt, was into punk rock, and instantly started hanging out with all the good-looking girls.
Kate Schellenbach (former Beastie; member, Luscious Jackson): Yauch would come by and try to play the bass. He knew "Public Image" by Public Image and that was it. Like, two notes. And then we started switching instruments around — I played drums — and making up songs about the bodega downstairs. Mike D had nothing to do, so we made him the singer.
Yauch: The idea was "let's start a hardcore band," kind of as a joke. We called it the Beastie Boys. We were trying to think of the stupidest name, something that maybe sounded like the Angry Samoans.
Berry: This may be arguable, but I think I actually came up with the name. We decided that we should have a gang, an Elks Lodge-type thing. We had secret handshakes and stuff, and we'd wear old-man clothes from the Salvation Army and smoke cigars. The thrust was to walk around and annoy people.
Yauch: Our first gig was a party at John's house. It was my 17th birthday, and we bought a bunch of beer. I think it was the first time Mike ever got drunk. After we played, Dave Parsons, who ran the record store Rat Cage downtown, came up and said, "I'm thinking about starting a record label — would you guys want to make an album?"
Scott Jarvis (recording engineer): Between the time we recorded Polly Wog Stew and when we mixed it a few weeks later, the 171A studio went under. The guy running it was on the road with Bad Brains and was supposed to be sending the rent, but it never came. The ex-girlfriend of the guy who actually owned the space came by and told me that he was going to sell the equipment — which didn't even belong to him. So I took the tape machine over to my girlfriend's apartment and laid everything out on the bed. Everyone came over and we did the mixes there, editing it together with, like, Scotch tape.
Schellenbach: We played only a handful of shows. But they were good — we played [the Alphabet City club] A7 with Bad Brains, we opened for Circle Jerks.
Darryl Jenifer (member, Bad Brains): We were fucking with Mike, trying to intimidate him — just Rasta shit — so they created this other band, the Imperial Knights of Schism. Instead of being fucked over, they started a band and made fun of our dialect and the way we looked. Mike put on blackface and a mop on his head — he had the balls to do that!
Thurston Moore (member, Sonic Youth): The Beasties weren't like street rats — they obviously had this edge over everybody else. Their humor was a little more sophisticated, not just fart jokes. Mike D was this skinny kid jumping in the air and landing on the stage like a screaming little bird.
Berry: I became less and less interested and started missing rehearsals. A couple of times I showed up really fucked up on crystal meth.
Horovitz: After their record came out, my band, the Young and the Useless, started covering Beastie Boys songs. When John Berry went AWOL, I took his spot. I came up from the minors.
Schellenbach: We were all getting into Grandmaster Flash and the Sugar Hill Gang and Funky Four. The Roxy and Danceteria were happening, and everybody was into break dancing and graffiti and trying to write rhymes.
Tom Cushman (friend): Over Christmas vacation, right before Michael had been invited never to return to Vassar again after only one semester, we decided to do a song. At the time, the thing in rap was this stay-in-school concept, so we wrote "The Reading Rap": "Reading and rapping and you'll be down / It's in the mix, hear it in the sound / Hit the books, but don't hit the street / And avoid the ends that you might meet." We called ourselves the Beat Brothers.
Yauch: We went into the studio with a bunch of songs, but they were kind of half-written and never really came together. While we were in there just messing around, we recorded "Cooky Puss" and "Beastie Revolution."
Schellenbach: "Cooky Puss" started getting college radio play, and we thought we should incorporate some kind of hip-hop experience into the live show. And that's when Rick Rubin came aboard. I don't quite know who found him, but it was like, "This guy goes to NYU and he could be our DJ." We called him DJ Double R.
Rick Rubin (cofounder, Def Jam Records): I was the chairman of the social committee, and a DJ, and the Beastie Boys started coming to these parties at my dorm. They asked me to DJ for them since I was a friend of theirs and had a bubble machine.
Doctor Dre (former Beastie DJ; radio host, Hot 97, NYC): Rick had no skills. He would just play the record. But he had a lot of good DJ movements. He'd bob his head a lot.
Cey Adams (Horovitz's former roommate; graphic designer): Rick would pick up the tab, which played a big part in us hanging out with him. At that time, the band was still wearing plain clothes. Then somebody got the idea to try and look a little more hip-hop. I think it was Rick. For the record, anything silly was usually Rick's idea.
Rubin: We went to Chinatown and got these matching Chinese jogging suits, and we all had matching Adidas and Puma suits, too. We used to wear do-rags on our heads, which was kind of ridiculous.
Thomas Beller (former Beat Brother): No one ever actually said, "Kate, you're out." She went away for the weekend, and Rick bought the other three members matching Adidas sweatsuits, red and black warm-ups, and sneakers. They were at the [Manhattan] club Area dressed up like a trio and Kate bumped into them, kind of by accident. She just started crying, because it was obvious that there was not going to be a woman in a band that's, like, going to have an inflatable penis on stage.
Schellenbach: Rick's influence was really hard to deal with. Everybody in our crew was very open and not sexist at all, and Rick was this piggish guy from Long Island, or wherever the hell he was from. He was really sexist and homophobic, and they were all getting into his persona because they thought he was cool. And they were also getting into what they thought a hip-hop group was supposed to act like, grabbing their dicks and talking about girls. It was very disappointing and alienating.
Adams: The first time they got any money was when they sued British Airways for using part of "Cooky Puss" in an ad. Horovitz worked at a little ice cream shop that was like our club house. The minute they got that check, he quit his job and would buy stuff for everybody. It just felt like paradise.
Michael Diamond (a.k.a. Mike D, Beastie Boy): That money enabled us to make the move for independence. We got a floor in this Chinese sweatshop building on Chrystie Street [on the Lower East Side of Manhattan].
Yauch: The floor was blacktop. Somebody had actually rolled out tar across it, like the street. One time we were hanging out in the living room and we heard this really loud explosion in the kitchen. Our toaster oven had a hole in the top and a hole in the back. There was a hole in the wall behind it and a hole in the ceiling. Apparently, somebody upstairs fired a gun through the floor. We ran up there and there was nobody in the room but this old woman. We were like, "What happened?" and she didn't speak English. You know some crazy shit had just happened in that sweatshop and they had quickly covered it up. Dragged the body out.

Am I the only one who read the blog entry and found that: "The Poulsbo (US15W) video driver may be Open Source'd by Q4 2009"??
well that's even better!
Am I the only one who read the blog entry and found that: "The Poulsbo (US15W) video driver may be Open Source'd by Q4 2009"??
well that's even better!
When XvBA works so well why didn't ATI ship headers to use it? Also some programming examples would not hurt too...
What you are right about is the adoption and marketing side of it, which by no means hinder the truth value of your argument. Even the technical side is different, the real situation is again reflected by your argument.
I wanted to point that the fact of being better and being first doesn't always bring victory but instead of writing it directly, I injected the whole idea to the post.
VA-API on the other hand is badly documented, if at all, and seems to be missing out some of the functionality provided by VDPAU.
Last edited by greg; 07-07-2009 at 07:48 AM.
The question was about mature and complete. VA API is just that:
- complete: supports more codecs and video encode acceleration
- mature: well, it has been around for a long time, though implementations were not public. There are at least 4 (if not 5), "native" implementations, i.e. real drivers, not counting my bridges.
Now, as I said, applications support is weaker due to initial lack of drivers, but it's as trivial to add as for VDPAU. So, this can change quite easily.
GEM vs TTM
XvBA vs X-Video vs VDPAU vs VA-API
When will this API/subsystem nightmare end? Please make a unified API for hardware video decoding, this is a pain in the ass...

I have a fairly old Kenmore Air Filter system, which does a very nice job for five rooms. Thankfully they still carry these filters for it. They do a great job, are relatively inexpensive and last 4-6 months before needing to be changed. Just lifting the lid, it?s easy to see when the filter needs to be changed. A good value!

We have been using these replacement filters for over five years, how many I do not remember - seems like a long time. Very good quality and usually the quantity we want is in stock at the store but sometimes we have to order them. The order comes in quick and has always been spot on to what we asked for.
Miramar, Florida

I have been using these filters for over 8 years. They are simple, dependable, easy to replace. Could be cheaper but that doesnt have anything with the high quality fact.Highly recommend.

This filter works great. It cleans the air and filters out debris really well. My only complaint is that it works so well it has to be replaced constantly; and the Sears store locally does not always have it in stock.
