P.S. Philosophy - that's a point!
The obvious imo is that he has different filosophy. Probably open source and the freedom to share doesn't meen too much for him or are very low in his priorities since he is so eager to buy and defend proprietary code, while for the most of us the very essence of a program's quality is how much freedom it carries in its package.
Anyway, filosophies are built on arguments and vary rarely eventuate to agreements. So I don't see any positive reason for anyone to continue this thread rather than argue till eternity.

I work at a place that deals with support for a wide array of server systems (although it's mostly windows/unix/linux systems), and I run into windows not being compatible with windows all the time.
At the end of the day, Wine is just translating native Windows applications. That can only get us so far, we need native software!
May have been true years ago, however your talking about running old windows programs he's run for years, and wine works perfectly well for that scenario and is rock stable. Hell some software run faster under wine than under windows (I remember I got higher fps running Q3 under wine than in windows).
And I imagine a lot of the same programs would fail on newer versions of windows aswell, anything not following standards properly/misusing api to produce a specific result etc.
Rock stable does not mean "will run program X that intentionally misused api on windows X to skip some checks to improve performance"... It was never WINE's mission to run windows software with better windows backwards compatibility than windows itself.

My problem is that knee-jerk replies like this, where you state nonsense like 'built-in linux ability to export pdf files' or 'windows requires software to read and write pdfs' make me wonder whether you actually have _something_ to say. That Acroread 'piece of crap' thing renders the text better than xpdf, Kpdf, Evince or Okular (I tried them all, thankyouverymuch), is faster at doing it, more flexible (try it and look at the options, or try to disable sub-pixel smoothing in Kpdf, for instance), and doesn't _miserably_ choke when loading BIG pdf files with high (as in high) resolution images. Filling pdf forms in linux was one of those exotic things people would try to do with pdftk or loading the file in Inscape, Gimp or Scribus, adding some text and exporting back, or some other braindead solution. Acroread can do this. In all fairness, it seems that Okular and latest versions of Evince have catched up with this, which IS good. There is, of course, a long way to what Adobe Pro can do, and unfortunately there's not a Linux version as of yet--so I have to do shit with, say, pdftk, to achive the simplest things. For a change, you could start realizing that there's a world beyond what you know that have some needs about which you may not have a clue.Originally Posted by Apopas
No, you have not got my point, and by a long shot. But I'll make it again because you look like a nice, honest guy. My point is that I want to have high quality applications and drivers available in my OS of choice--and why it is my choice I don't feel it's relevant. I named those two cases, pdf handling and Skype(*), as two examples of what closed source solutions can bring in terms of quality to this platform. You may disagree about the quality difference between Acroread/whatever and Skype/whatever. But, however great an affinity you have for open source applications and ideals, I want to believe that, at least, you don't really consider those two programs to be 'a piece of crap' in terms of how good they are at what they intent to. Now, skip all the trash and go back some pages in the thread; remember what was being said about stable ABI or not? There you have it, so again it goes: I want companies to consider Linux seriously and make their products available to this platform. I want the _enormous_ gap between Windows and Linux in terms of existing software to narrow. I think Wine is NOT a solution in any conceivable way--leave alone that it doesn't actually deliver--and what is needed, open source or otherwise, are native applications. So let's complete the chain: I also happen to believe that the fact that the Linux kernel (and distributions) appear to always be a moving target makes it harder for anybody to create and maintain code for this platform.Originally Posted by Apopas
Now, although quite generous, there's a limit to the amount of shit I'm ready to get from anybody. I have, directly or indirectly, been called stupid, idiot, troll, accussed of having some sort of agenda to promote god knows what and I apparently even have some psychological problems. I want to believe that this will stop now and here.
(*) If you asked me, I'd tell you that using a closed source protocol for something as inherently open as communication between people is quite a contradiction and a rather bad idea. And maybe you wouldn't expect that from a 'Windows troll'. The thing is that everybody and their cats, be it for lack of concentration, reading skills, capacity or pure intellectual dishonesty and propensity to self-deceit, seem ready to jump to conclusions without thinking for a couple of seconds before vomiting their junk all over the rest of us.

Helping ease the passage of petsAfter suffering own loss, funeral director now offers new service
Thursday, February 7, 2013
LEE, N.H. — Recently, Stephen and Caroline Purdy, of Dover, experienced the death of their loved ones. The family pets, Jake and Jesse.
Pet Passages by Purdy Funeral Service is a new building, designed specifically to handle the needs of the pet owning public. It is the area's premier memorial center and pet crematory servicing New Hampshire, southern Maine and northern Massachusetts.
"Those in need will be dealing directly with a firm that is licensed in death care," explained Stephen. "Instead of calling the vet and being told to bring the animal in, people call us directly and we respond immediately. We are available 24 hours a day. We also provide same day service to your veterinarian's office, not days or a week later like the industry norm. Upon receiving a call we will travel to their home or animal hospital in a specially designed van for personal pick up.
We are trained to assist people in making tough decisions in times of need. People who are grief-stricken and don't know what to do. We at Pet Passages bring our experience with a regulatory Code of Conduct to something that is now not regulated."
Pet Passages memorial center and pet crematory, located in Lee, has a variety of ways in which to say goodbye to a faithful companion.
There is a private viewing room where an individual or family can say goodbye to their loved one, and the body will be handled with care and dignity. Families also have the option of pet funerals as well.
"We treat this as a very important point in people's lives," explained Stephen Purdy. "Some agencies that perform a similar service in effect do not offer a timeline as to how your pet will be handled. We, on the other hand, identify your pet immediately, from that moment of pick up and you will be able to follow the entire process. This brings our clients a sense of security, and a 100 percent guarantee that they will be getting their own pet's ashes back."
"I still remember how shocked I was when we discovered Jesse's ashes on the doorstep, delivered by UPS, like it was a sweater in a box," said Caroline.
"If only we knew the questions to ask. Like, Where is the crematory? When will my pet be picked up? Can I inspect the facility or witness the cremation? What guarantee can I have that my pet is returned to me? When will the cremation be done? Because some cremation providers are over 100 miles away they can only service vet clinics every so often, leaving pets to be frozen until pick up. That also means quite a delay on returning an urn back to the family. You may also be surprised to find out that some providers do not allow witnessed cremations and that there is no paperwork trail or identification system linked to your animal. In funeral service this required by law."
Pet Passages by Purdy Funeral Service offers same-day service, a secure passages ID tracking system and a 72-hour guarantee return of your pet's ashes or the services are free. They are prepared to handle all pets up to 500 pounds and have a fee schedule starting at $75. They can be reached at email@example.com or by phone at 603-868-2100. You can also learn more online at www.purdyfuneralservice.com and click on "pet services."
The community is invited to visit Pet Passages at 2 Concord Road (Route 4), in Lee. There will be an open house on Sunday, Feb. 17, from 1-4 p.m. There will be a blessing of the pets at 2 p.m., so participants are invited to bring their pets along.

Braised Bean Curd (Firm Tofu) with Mushrooms Recipe
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
This time of year when the days are short and the nights are cold, I turn to claypot cooking for warmth and comfort. Be it claypot bak kut teh, claypot chicken rice, stews, or soups, claypot somehow adds that earthy aroma to the dish I cook and make the food a lot more appealing just because it's cooked and served in a claypot. This claypot full of braised bean curd/firm tofu (in the US, bean curd is marketed as firm tofu at the grocery stores) with mushrooms is no exception. In a way, claypot cooking is like a fireplace; it gives you that warm cozy feeling…
I have many recipes to share when it comes to braised tofu–there are just endless possibilities. You can play with the different protein, be it pork, chicken, or seafood. You can also throw in different vegetables and mushrooms you like–napa cabbage, carrots, bok choy, dried shitake mushrooms, button mushrooms, enoki, and the list goes on. And then there is the sauce: soy sauce, oyster sauce, with beaten egg, or without it. As I said earlier, endless possibilities and all delicious.
My creation was a bit spontaneous. I had some leftover ground pork but no vegetables in the fridge, so this is my simple dish. Oh yeah, this braised bean curd with mushrooms made my stomach all warm and cozy, despite a cold night outside…
Rasa Malaysia Suggested Menus This braised bean curd (firm tofu) with mushrooms would go well with
- Stir-fried Brussels Sprouts with Dried Sole Fish
- Pork Rib and Lotus Root Soup
- Assam Pedas Fish (Malaysian Spicy Fish Curry)

Oooh, that's one thing I don't have (well – actually, that's one of many things I don't have) a claypot! I love that dish and it looks incredibly delicious in the photo. Yum. You're right, it's perfect for a cold evening. That is serious comfort food. :) Beautiful.
I don't have those clay pots, but it sounds like a great way to warm up!
Hi, it's way cool you're sharing these homey dishes to the entire world! I recently got converted to be a claypot user cos my boyfriend has two of them, one smaller one, i use to make steam rice for two, and the bigger one for anything like soup, stews… and right now my version of chicken nasi briyani is keeping warm and moist inside while I go for a run and back for dinner later :)
Aah, a simple dish to lift the spirits. With steam and all, somemore! :-P
I don't have a claypot as well, but this and the chicken rice is next on my list to try. I'm seriously hungry!
This looks delicious! It never occurred to me that you could braise tofu. Tofu is so versatile!
great recipe… i have to try that in the clay pot over the weekend :) looks fabulous.
Looks wonderfully warming. Have added 'ABC Kecap Manis' and a claypot to my never ending shopping list now. :-) I hope I can find both these things in an Asian store.
That dish looks restaurant-quality. But I bet it tastes even better.
If I go out to eat and get claypot, it's usually with beef tendon or with seafood. Tendon and squid just call out to be braised in this way.
Every time I see clay pots in my Asian grocery, I'm so tempted to buy one, but I really don't know how to cook with it. This recipe is a great start!
Hi RM! your claypot tofu looks so delish! I love tofu dishes of any kind and this is really making me hungry!
This looks really good! I have always wondered about clay pots. How do you cook with them? Do you place them directly on the stoves burner?
yum! What a great idea. I used as similar recipe base before and make braised siew yoke with mushrooms instead. Can't wait to try this as well. Thanks for sharing.
It's seriously great when you cook them in claypots; I always liked it better in claypots..keep em' warm!:D
I really love the mushrooms and beancurd; without the pork (that's just my picky self:p)
I should never read your blog again when I'm hungry!
Haven't been over for awhile, so sorry! But what a nice meal of clay pot bean curd and mushrooms to greet me! Yums! :D
I want this for dinner tonight!
How come you're cooking all my favourite food of late??? Hehehe…
I love braised bean curd with mixed vegetables in the claypot!! yum!
The mushrooms look rather voluptuous and begs to be eaten :)
I don't have a claypot! And the winter in Taiwan is not as cold as in the US.
You just inspired me to try this since the ingredients are so simple and the combination with tofu can be so forgiving. Just in time for me, esp when I'm still trying to find ingredients in the supermarket here in Taiwan (the choices for ingredients are not as great as in the US, IMO).
this looks beautiful in the claypot. great dish, i'm sure it's delicious.
I take just the mushrooms, can ah? :o)
RM – I love claypot cooking and your photo is making me hungry! What is more comforting than tofu made this way? You've inspired me to pick up my claypot.
And thank you for all your good work with Menu for Hope. I think it's going to be another successful year.
Ohhh I love this!! Tofu and mushrooms are two of my favorite food. I'm bookmarking this and will try it very soon. Thanks!
Oh no! I don't have a claypot. Do I need to change anything when making this?
I made your braised bean curd with mushrooms after I bought the claypot and they are so divine! Your breaised bean curd with mushrooms recipe is definitely a keeper.
Rasa M, you are such a genious. I found your blog by accident (when I was searching for beef rendang recipe via google), but you've got all the Chinese recipes that I wanted. And I liked the fact that the ingredients are easy to find… oh I think my partner will love me even more when I surprise him with his favourite Chinese food at home.
I didn't cook this with the claypot but it still taste superb yummy. Especially on a cold day.. I love it
Hi Rasa
Here's my attempt. Hope you don't mind me referencing you?
Nice recipe – I need to find an authentic Clay Pot!
This looks absolutely amazing!!! When living in Amsterdam I often visited a Japanese restaurant and always had this dish aswell with stuffed trout and gyosa's….even thinking of it makes my innerself crave!!! Will make it this comming monday!! And also I want to say: I ADORE your site!!!
I quite enjoy your website, but this is the first time I have tried one of your recipes. I lived in China for a while and have started cooking without animal products, and am about to have a Lunar New Year's party, so I need to expand my repertoire and chose your braised tofu recipe (minus the flavorful pork and kecap manis). This is also the first time I've fried tofu, and mine did not fry up golden even after a long time. I did more than pat the water out; I pushed down fairly hard with the cloths. Could you suggest how to improve the frying? I was using canola oil which has not been treated to increase the smokepoint.
Pingback:Braised Tofu with Mushrooms and Baby Bok Choy | Foodie Call
I was looking for a tofu recipe and I stumbled upon your website. And OMG! You have an awesome site and recipes! Plus, I just tried this tofu recipe today and it was delicious. Easy to make too! Thanks a lot!!! :)
p.s. come check out my site when you are free. :P
I just tried to cook this without a clay pot! Delicious!
I am wondering, what's the difference if it is made in a claypot or a regular pot? Wanting to know if I should invest in a claypot because this recipe is delicious even when I use a regular pot :)
I just made this and it was super delicious.! It's quick, simple and easy. The only thing I changed was swapping the firm tofu for soft tofu.

Sunday night's episode of Celebrity Apprentice featured the return of Bret Michaels, Gary Busey's singing debut, and sharks, yet it managed to still be the most boring 120 minutes in All-Stars history. And, surprisingly, we can thank the human set of teeth himself for the episode's lack of bite. For, you see, Gary is reality TV's ice cream sundae — a treat that, in moderation, is an undeniably delicious addition to dinner. But sprinkle a few too many ice cream sundaes into your diet, and you begin to wish you never asked for an ice cream sundae in the first place, especially one that's laced with peyote.
Because, let's face it: Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars might as well be renamed Watch Gary Busey Lure Everyone Into a False Sense of Security Before Eating Them. We've barely become acquainted with the quirks of the rest of our all-stars — and why would we, when Gary steals airtime roving around half-naked? (That said, he does inspire such moments as winning Project Manager Penn Jillette wondering what it would be like to French kiss Gary: "There's four inches of teeth until you get to actual mouth."
But the biggest reason the episode went south was because the challenge literally went South — to South Africa. Our celebrities were tasked with creating an interactive travel expo to raise awareness about the country centered on two themes: adventure and romance. With a challenge pit in a tiny room, giving the celebrities little opportunity to interact with bewildered citizens, it's no wonder Celebrity Apprentice turned on Busey cam. And then, unsurprisingly, we found ourselves with the following ridiculous moments!
8. Gary Gets Away With Murder
Mainly, by talking about murder with the South African travel executives and still avoiding the axe. Apropos to nothing, the all-star pulled aside the two executives to share his travel experiences in the country: "They put us up in Johannesburg and I heard people getting murdered." (Only slightly less offensive than the contestant introducing himself to the executives as if they didn't speak English: "I've had such a good time in your country making film.") But is there anything Gary can't sell with a Vietnam night terror? Next up: Gary's marketing plan for Aquafresh — Wading through the cold, dark jungle, shivering as you avoid the stare of the edge of a bayonet? Let the sparkling light in your smile help you guide the way!
7. Bret Michaels' Rosy Return
Because who's better to judge the abilities of our remaining all-stars than the first one kicked off the show?
6. Donald Trump Has Never Had a Drink
Admitted the billionaire, despite having offered his name to a line of vodka. Not that it's too much of a surprise — the man has spent a lifetime selling something he knows nothing about: Class.
5. "Is She a Leader, Or a Stressed-Out Bitch?"
And thank you for proving my point, Mr. Trump, with your critique of the lovely Brande Roderick.
4. We're Gonna Need a Bigger Idea
At least, that's what Team Power should have thought while creating their adventure concept for South Africa. Because the team's interactive expo — which came complete with an unfunny man in a shark costume and a zipline-inspired ride across the room in an office chair — simply looked like Friday Fun Day in an elementary school classroom. Sorry, Lil Jon — if you wanted to recruit a shark for your expo, you should have snagged this guy. And sorry, Brande, that the embarrassing display led to your ouster.
3. "Do You Have Balls In Your Establishment?"
If this is how manly man Trace Adkins shops, then I'd love to see how he parties.
2. Trace Shows Us the Funny
I could be offended by the country star's multiple slightly offensive statements towards women, but I'm just so goddamn excited to see the endlessly bored contestant show a little bit of life to care. It's hard to choose what was the better quote of the night: His assessment of his team's shoddy ideas ("You polish your turd, and I'll polish my turd. And we'll all end up with shiny s**t. That ought to be a song.") or his anger over not being able to discuss safaris at the team's expo ("It's like a farmer whose got these six daughters, and one of them is really hot, and five are really ugly, and you just really want to see the hot one, but he won't let you"). Please, oh please let this lead to "Accidental Sexist."
1. "You Know the Most Dangerous Thing In the Water? A Shark Fart."
Okay, maybe Gary is necessary for this show after all.

The actor will join a long list of stars who have been covered in green goo onstage, a tradition at the ceremony which celebrates children's favourite entertainers.
Duhamel will oversee the prizegiving at the University of Southern California's Galen Center in Los Angeles in March (13), and has already begun planning a number of pranks to keep viewers entertained.
He says, "Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards is a great event that celebrates kids by honouring their opinions and taps into the kid in all of us. I have a lot of secret plans for when I host the awards, but I can tell you I'm excited to lead millions of kids into total crazy fun, chaos... and, of course, endless slime!"
The event's executive producer Marjorie Cohn adds, "As a previous 'best arm fart' winner, we know he'll do what it takes to be a great host. We promise that this year will deliver the special, one-of-a-kind surprise-filled slimefest for which our annual telecast is famous."

'Our House': Saying goodbye to my childhood home
I know every inch of that house. I remember as a child excitedly running across the bare hardwood floors to strip the 'SOLD' sign out of the living room window, so that I could save it for all time. At first that large window was spanned by heavy brocade drapes, and the room was dressed with dark wood furniture and accented with honeyed gold paint. With changing times and tastes, the colours softened, and those drapes were replaced with an elegant symmetry of cream colour draped across that window.
With each drop of paint, every change in decor, almost every piece of furniture and light fixture, there are memories. In the dining room, each spring Mom would climb a small ladder to take down every droplet of the crystal chandelier hanging over the table, so that each piece could be cleaned. The chandelier beautifully sparkled in the early evening light after she had finished. I did not always help her to clean it, but when I did, the task was usually lightened by laughter. Sometimes we'd pretend the crystal pieces were earrings, and we'd dance around with them held up to our ears. It was a simple and very silly time, but unforgettable.
On the last day in my childhood home there were so many memories rushing through my mind, there was a crush as I tried to single them out. Standing in the kitchen, I could almost hear the sizzle and breathe in the flavour of bacon and eggs, sausages and blood pudding, as I remembered my father at the stove cooking breakfast on a Sunday morning. Sunday morning breakfast was the only meal he would occasionally cook, and when he did, it was always so delicious. Standing in the living room I remembered celebration, images and sounds of times when we welcomed family from Ireland. I can still hear the peals of laughter, the singing, the distinctive thump of the bone hitting the bodhrán drum, and Uncle Séamus wildly playing his accordion.
Packing away my mother's large mixing spoons evoked a memory of the gorgeous fragrance of her Irish Christmas puddings, with sultana raisins, currants, candied peel, walnuts and almonds. Mom never had to measure out a single ingredient, or consult a recipe; the talent for making it was in her bones. Mom would let each one of us take a turn when it was time to mix in the porter beer, stirring the massive mixture around a large metal bowl. 'Three times around', she would say, 'Make sure it's a full three turns, and be certain to make your wish'. Oh, when I think of some of the wishes made over those puddings. If only I could make a wish now.
Standing in my childhood bedroom for the very last time, I gazed out the window over the yard, and remembered. In the mists of memory I see my father and our neighbours building the fences, and laying the sod. On the light breeze of this last afternoon the sweet scent of Mom's rose bushes wafts its way in through the open window. Peonies, Lavender, and Black-eyed Susans run slightly wild along the sides of the yard next to overgrown privet hedge. At the far end of the garden stand the hostas, still dressed in the light tears of a morning rain. Mom planted them in that first Spring after Dad died. I stand there at the window wondering if the garden knows she is gone. Do the flowers miss the deft touch of her hand, trimming everything, keeping it all well ordered?
Turning away from the window I recall the day my teenaged self announced to my mother that I had decided to paint over the soft pink walls of my little girl room. The colour I had chosen was purple. Mom wasn't at all happy about my choice, but she helped me choose the right shade of purple, and helped me paint the room. As soon as I moved out, Mom re-painted the room pink.
Walking from empty room to empty room to ensure everything is clean and well polished for the next owners, the house seems much smaller now. It was the lives within our home that made it big, but now those lives are gone.
I knew joy in that house, and laughter, but also anger, and incredible sadness too. It was the site of many beginnings and far too many endings. I loved that house, and at times I hated it too. I knew freedom, learning, and happiness there, but also stringent limits and boundaries that I sometimes reeled against. It meant all things to me, but more than anything it was my family home, the home in which I believed I would always find my parents, a place of roots, of our foundation and our connection.
With the last click of that lock the connection is now severed; for us the place is gone.
It is only a house now, no longer a home.

A beautifully evocative story symbolic of all your losses. For you it is now a house and a bunch of memories. I feel sure there will be a positive aura that will make it a home for it's new owners.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Pauleen,Delete
Thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated. I too believe in positive aura, and hope the new family knows much happiness in their home.
What a touching story.ReplyDelete
Regards, Jim (Hidden Genealogy Nuggets)Replies
Hello Jim,Delete
Thank you for your comment. Nice to hear from you.
Thank you for eloquently telling your story. The title caught my eye because I closed, yesterday, on the condominium that I called home for 15 years and that was my own first home. So many memories, as you say, grand and not so grand, but all our own. I will say, though, that all those memories will live on as long as we do, and if we share them with others in our families, they'll live on longer. 'Three times around'...that is an ancient concept, truly from the Old Days; it's remarkable that it lives on through you, and now in many others through your blog. What a lovely thing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Laura,Delete
Thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated. To leave behind a loved home is such a difficult thing, but as you say we have our memories and we have the opportunity to share them. I hope your new home brings many happy times for you.
Beautifully written.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Judy,Delete
Thank you for your comment; it is much appreciated.
A beautifully written and touching story. One that really resounds with me as we sold our family home almost exactly a year ago. I can relate to everything you've written.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Michelle,Delete
Thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated. I'm glad to know that you can relate, and I'll bet you have lots of wonderful memories of your family home too.
Oh, Jennifer, I so identify with what you have said, as my sister and I just turned the key in the lock for the last time at our mother's home, too. There is so much more there to sense than the mere tangibles of the structure once called home.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jacqi,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are always much appreciated. So many of us share this sort of experience (or will come to know it) as we close up the homes in which our families once lived. It's nice to be part of this community of experience even though the connection begins with loss.
A very touching post, Jennifer. It reminded me of the day that my parents announced that they were selling the farm where they had lived for 38 years, and moving. I was so upset, but Dad kept saying "it's progress, you can't stop progress". Looking back, I guess he was right - we can't stop the cycle. My thoughts are with you. JoReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jo,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are always much appreciated. So true, what your dad said, no matter how much we want to, we cannot stop the passing of time.
Ah, Jennifer, you've written such a great post about the leaving of a house that was once home. Don't we always think it will go on being our home forever? I think it's so good that you wrote down some of your memories. Blessings to you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Nancy,Delete
Thanks very much for your comments; they are always much appreciated. Sitting here this morning I think about go over to our house. I guess it can always remain mine in my memory.
Your reflections on departing from your childhood home are what I think we all aspire to achieve when we are trying to convey to others what these 'old' places mean to us. Great job! Tears in the eyes and full of inspiration. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Jennifer,Delete

Something Old: For whom the vintage bell tolls
Thursday, August 9, 2012
Often when restoring a historic church or school, a large bronze bell is needed for the bell tower. The bells are difficult to find because many have been sold as scrap and melted, and others are too heavy to be moved for a reasonable price. But a vintage bell often is less expensive than a new one.

Clang takes C/C++/ObjC and converts it to the intermediate language used by LLVM. LLVM takes this intermediate language (though they call it an Intermediate Representation (IR)) and converts it to native CPU code. The two are commonly used together but the great strength is that they can be used separately.
One reason LLVM is generating a lot of interest is that it doesn't matter where the intermediate representation comes from: it doesn't need to be from Clang. One of the notable uses is in the open source radeon drivers: the developers have written a front-end that compiles GPU shader code to LLVM's IR, which means they get LLVM's optimisation 'free', just by writing the shader-to-IR front-end.

Roger Daltrey Set For One-Off Summer Gig
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Roger Daltrey and his solo band have signed on to perform a one-off performance this summer. Daltrey is taking over the August 10th headlining spot at Costa Mesa, California's OC Fair at Pacific Amphitheatre, which was originally was to feature the late Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of the Doors. In the press release announcing his performance, Daltrey paid tribute to Manzarek, saying, "I was very sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I am sure he would have appreciated that the proceeds of this show will go to such a worthy cause as Teen Cancer America." Manzarek died of bile duct cancer on May 20th at age 72. It remains unclear whether Daltrey will be performing a standard hits-based show or the Who's Tommy as is advertised on the Ticketmaster site.
Daltrey and his band have one other summer gig lined up for August -- but unfortunately for fans, it's a private show. Daltrey has been announced as the National Association of Chain Drug Stores' guest performer on August 12th at Las Vegas' Sands Expo and Convention Center.
When we last caught up with Roger Daltrey, we asked him if he foresees this being his permanent solo band for the foreseeable future: "I hope to, yeah. It's a great little band, y'know, with just great energy and I've gotta keep singing, so why not?"
The Who performs tonight (June 12th) in Glasgow, Scotland.

Intel reinventing the wheel as always. Gallium3D is a must, please not poison it...
Phoronix: Mesa Slowly Picking Up OpenGL 3 Support
Intel's Ian Romanick has announced on the Mesa3D development list that he has made available an arb_sync branch of Mesa. As implied by its name, this branch implements support for the GL_ARB_sync extension, which just officially debuted with OpenGL 3.2...
Intel reinventing the wheel as always. Gallium3D is a must, please not poison it...
for drivers to pick up Gallium3D it needs to be mature, for Gallium3D to mature it needs to be used...
"Intel is excited about OpenGL 3.1, the continuing evolution of OpenGL, and our future product support of OpenGL 3.x"
which translates into "we won't be supporting OpenGL 3.x in the foreseeable future", if you cut the marketing bullshit.
I hope I will be proved wrong, but Intel will not be supporting Gallium3d any time soon.
Intel Linux drivers will most likely support GL3.0 via Mesa, I suspect the comments you read referenced windows drivers.
Intel don't want to face the gallium3d regression cliff, when they moved their driver to the buffer manager the regressions took a long
time to fix, moving again to another re-write is just going to cause similiar issues.
Really a community gallium driver would need to be developed that would show Intel a reason to switch or use gallium for other bits of the stack
like video or X.org driver or OpenCL.
The comment was Intel's official statement on the release of OpenGL 3.0 and 3.1 (they made the same statement word for word) - you can find it on the official release statements on opengl.org. As far as I can tell, Intel has separate driver teams for its Windows and Linux drivers (which indicates a certain amount of schizophrenia), but is the Linux driver team so independent that it can disregard the official policy of the company?
I honestly have no idea.
Sigh. Yes, what the user really needs is yet another fork of driver code. Why not keep supporting current drivers with bugfixes but start developing a Gallium driver in parallel, just like AMD does? Developing 3.x state trackers in Mesa seems like a tremendous duplication of effort, considering Gallium already has them.Really a community gallium driver would need to be developed that would show Intel a reason to switch or use gallium for other bits of the stack like video or X.org driver or OpenCL.
Not to mention that Mesa developers have stated time and time again that classic Mesa is not a good fit for modern hardware and OpenGL features.
As things stand, AMD has become the only company that actually supports state-of-the-art OSS Linux graphics...

I also seem to notice that there might've been some design mistakes (or maybe just plain simple idealism) while doing Gallium3D that have been fixed later on, like that now it seems the same compiler used in classic Mesa can be used in Gallium3D too which saves time porting the drivers. I haven't yet heard comments from radeon developers that anyone would actually want to do a full implementation of even OpenGL 2.0 with classic Mesa so I'd assume sooner or later at least radseon drivers migrate to Gallium3D API and that would be the community Gallium driver airlied spoke of, me thinks.
the following is my personal view on Gallium3D's state. If you are closely involved in the development of Gallium, please correct me if I'm wrong.
The state-trackers API is in a good enough state, hence why we see them being developed fairly quickly. However, the driver side is less evolved, with rough edges and yet to be defined clean APIs. For instance, there are some platform dependent parts that mix with what should have been platform independent code (see winsys). Even the IR is in flux, with efforts to switch to LLVM from Tungsten's in-house one. Because of that, people are reluctant to commit to Gallium3D at this state and any drivers developed thus far are more like testbenches, to see what is missing and what direction things should take.
This is not to say that it's a bad approach. Gallium3D requires a generic enough API that can meet the needs of different platforms and thus requires time to find a good balance. But it's not wine that you leave it standing in a cellar (AKA repository :-P) to mature

84-year-old woman charged for murder plot of TX prosecutors
POSTED: Monday, April 15, 2013 - 1:46pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - 8:23am
Montgomery County, TX (CNN) — According to CNN, Texas Rangers have arrested a woman for a plot to murder and maim two Montgomery County prosecutors.
Dorothy Canfiled, 84, an inmate in the Montgomery County Jail, confessed to the plot when Texas Rangers lead her to believe one of the prosecutors she targeted had been killed.
Officials say Canfiled agreed to pay an undercover officer $5,000 to kill one prosecutor and $2,500 to put the district attorney in the hospital for two to three weeks.
Details are limited at this time, but KETK will update information as it becomes available.
