Big lumps of metal, that's the look I'm after! Well done Seagate for bucking the trend!

Fair enough we're not short of laughs in our industry but as a comedy franchise, SCO is going for some sort of record. Maybe we should start calling them UNIX Academy.
Not shooting the messenger here, Reg. You're right to report it but this kind of story is becoming depressingly familiar. I fear the planned public sector spending cuts will mean that data-handling training is only going to get worse.
For £250 you could buy 40-50 paperbacks and just read, y'know, them.

Yup. Bono's a complete bellend. Sting's another. One of the things I miss about the post-Facebook world is the pictures of Sting looking like a twat group - seriously FB users, search for it and be amazed!

Slow news day?

The British Computer Society is a fantastic name. A great example of plain English. The proposed rebranding sounds like it was dreamt up by a committee of MBA waving recent graduates who couldn't accomplish any IT task more difficult than opening an email attachment.
Add to that a little rapturous applause from an overheating IT office in the Midlands, too. Well done Finnish nutter!

A few people in this country need guns, others want to have them. I reckon more time spent checking both groups are people who should have them is far from wasted.
I really loathe this definition of the West as civilised/other parts of the world as uncivilised.
For a start it's a distinction that's been used over millennia to justify all manner of atrocities, like the genocides of aboriginal Australians and native Americans. More recently it's that sort of thinking that's allowed the vileness we saw in Abu Grahib.
Secondly it's bollocks. Ask an assylum seeker, forced to survive on Red Cross food vouchers in "civilised" Britain.

Acrobat Distiller is the PC utility part of Adobe Acrobat, used to convert files into PDFs, specifically PostScript documents, most commonly used in the areas of electronics and desktop publishing. This computer software is presented as a free update, since it corrects bugs in the original Acrobat version.
Although some users have experienced problems when it comes to converting PS documents into portable document format, Acrobat Distiller lets you change file formats within the Acrobat editor as well as with Adobe Reader support, allowing you to perform the desired tasks without the need to download further apps.
How to use this editor
With Acrobat Distiller you can select the settings used to convert your desired documents, security options and source information. Enabling Acrobat Distiller means you can even view all the tasks that are ready for conversion as this software allows you to queue PS files and preview the whole process.
With this free update you can prepare your documents in a more reliable format for a easier management of your business and for improving workflow. The software supports both PDF/X and JDF (Job Definition Format) international standards for exchanging content in an easy way. After creating your conversion, you can instantly print your new document. Besides this, the editor can maintain the original properties of the file, so it will display it as if it was the authentic one.

The unique features of this software are listed below:
- Can be used both as a standalone application or integrated in Acrobat

Address issues encountered with Adobe Reader through this additional tool
By Pablo Conde Ferrer
On Tuesday, July 15, 2014
I use Adobe Acrobat most of the time and there are instances wherein I encountered glitches as I go about my work. There are times where the fonts cannot be seen and sometimes printing errors occur. It is really a hassle! Good thing that Acrobat Distiller was created by developers of Adobe. It addressed all the issues and problems I have with Adobe Acrobat. At the same time, this utility tool also provided other features that I find practical. It can create PDF files. These files are taken from PostScript applications. By doing so, PostScript files can be converted to PDF format. It will make it easier to read through Adobe Reader. And since Acrobat Distiller is light, it does not eat up my PC's resources. It is also easy to use and provides data about the status of the conversion process which I find helpful. If you are using Adobe Acrobat like me, you should definitely take advantage of this utility tool.
- Address concerns encountered with Adobe Reader
- Does not utilize much PC resources
- Does not offer much features
An Excellent Software to Centralize Postscript to Adobe PDF File Creation
By Pablo Conde Ferrer
On Friday, June 27, 2014
One component of the Adobe Acrobat family products is the Distiller. It is the main engine for switching PostScript files into PDF documents. Acrobat Distiller is the essential one. Some software can create PDF files from within their program, but frequently simply acts as a frontend to Distiller, which should also be installed.
With the Distiller, I can select settings used to convert files to PDFs, security options, and font information. I can also use its window to monitor the jobs I've lined up for PDF conversion. Distiller lets me queue PostScript documents that I create in managing the applications and then monitor them all over the PDF conversion process.
Also with this update, few bugs were fixed, along with a problem with PDF Mark operations bigger than 128K where some documents consist of type 3 fonts did not display or print correctly correlated to the original PostScript language documents, and an issue where the addition of Watched Folders sometimes crash Distiller.
- Can run as a standalone utility or from within other applications
- Can create reliable and compact files
- Minimum system requirements for PC
Convert Postscripts to PDF files with this Reliable Software Tool
By Reinalei Jamir
On Friday, June 20, 2014
Acrobat Distiller is a software that revolutionizes the performance of your Adobe Acrobat. It provides you the option of making PDFs from Postscripts apps. This program was intended to revise, print, display and also create a PDF files. I like the fact that Acrobat Distiller allows you modify file formats within the Adobe reader support and Acrobat editor that permits you to do your work without downloading any other applications.
With this update, it now fixes all the error in European language versions that puts off some Postscripts documents from distilling. This update is only for European language version, not for English or Asian languages versions of Acrobat Distiller. In addition, you can also arrange your files in a more consistent format for trouble-free management of your business and improving workflow.
In my opinion, Acrobat Distiller 4.01 is an excellent update. It fixes some issues and makes Acrobat Pro more powerful. Moreover, it gives you the possibility of converting your Postscripts apps into PDF files.
- Convert PS to PDF file
- Simple and easy to use
- It doesn't have advanced options

It's not that Ray isn't taken with the band. He is. It's just that Ray is rather the dictionary definition of a drunken lout bored not only with the USA, but England and pretty much everything around him. And since Ray's lumbering behavior is neither unusual nor interesting (we all have mirrors, right?), the weight of the movie falls on The Clash. Not that there's anything wrong with that, because these early concert performances (including "Janie Jones," "White Riot," "White Man in Hammersmith Palais," and "Prisoner," all brilliantly captured by director/writer/producer Jack Hazan) are, in fact, both inspiring and historic. But they provide no narrative thread. On the rare occasion that we spend off-stage time with individual band members (that is, when they're not being arrested for shooting pigeons and other petty crimes) say, Joe Strummer alone at the piano or Mick Jones adding the lead vocal to "Stay Free" in the studio here comes Ray with another drunken, slurring entrance, effectively smothering one more potentially poignant moment in its infancy.
Sure, you'll want to see Rude Boy once, if only as a perverse punk curio. But the second time this DVD goes into the player, you'll be navigating the extensive Special Features menu in search of the on-the-money marker titled "Just Show Me The Clash."

This Woman's Bare Ass Also Wants Transparency On Wall Street
Like her lunging brother from another mother, she, too, spent the morning attempting to "illuminate a dark cranny in the financial world." [Gothamist, earlier]

Now the RPOF is fighting back, accusing Democrats of being silent when there were racially insensitive issues made within their own ranks, leading off with Alex Sink's alleged gaffe on immigrants spoken at the Capitol Theater in Clearwater last month in the second of the three debates in the CD13 contest.
In an email entitled, "FDP'S RECORD OF SILENCE ON ACTUAL INSULTS TO HISPANIC COMMUNITY," Republican Party of Florida Chairman Lenny Curry called on all Florida Democrats to condemn "the myriad of actual insults that have been continually hurled at the Florida Hispanic community by members of their own party. These comments are insulting and intolerable and they should be harshly condemned."
You might recall that in talking about why immigration reform was needed, Sink talked about "we have a lot of employers over on the beaches that rely upon workers and especially in this high-growth environment, where are you going to get people to work to clean our hotel rooms or do our landscaping? And we don't need to put those employers in the position of hiring undocumented and illegal workers."
Although neither David Jolly nor Lucas Overby made an issue of the comment during that debate, hours later the GOP seized on it, with Jolly calling it "disgusting" and saying it virtually disqualified her from being a congressional candidate. Undoubtedly it was an awkward comment, and Sink never addressed it through the rest of the campaign. It's questionable whether it had any impact on the race which she lost by 1.8 percent.
The other issues that the RPOF lists as insulting were Charlie Crist's comments on Bill Maher that he now opposes the economic embargo on Cuba and the Florida Democratic Party remaining quiet regarding the situation in Venezuela, where Nicholas Maduro government's forces have killed 33 activists protesting his administration over the past couple of months.
(However, Charlie Crist was criticizing the Maduro government as far back as February 27, as a reference on his Facebook page will attest).

The bag is very pretty & I got alot of compliments on it but the quality wasn't great, kind of flimsy and the stitching was loose & the inside tore within a day, I switch bags pretty often so I wasn't that unhappy. I use it from time to time & do always get compliments....all they see is the outside so.....
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? fair
I love the purse, it's pretty, bright, very well made. It is smaller than I thought, but I still love it and highly recommend it it.
First day I wore my bag I rec'd compliments from co-workers to ladies on the streets, it's a lil smaller than I thought it would be,I'm 5'1 so it's ok, so use to large bags.
This was bought as a gift for a friend. She raved about it. I'd bought similar totes in the past. The only drawback -- the fabric is not that durable. Therefore I suggest only using it for special occasions rather than for day-to-day use.
the bag was really smaller than what was shown in the picture if you are looking for a big pruse this is no the one
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. the quality was fine
- How accurate was the sizing? not accurate enough
Great find, I use it for casual and special evenings, wears well, loads of compliments, goes well with all colors, highly recommend, can't carry too much though.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent!
- How accurate was the sizing? perfect
This was given to a friend for a gift who loves different types of handbags. She loved it.
I love this bag. It is just beautiful and very well made. The colors are vibrant, the detailing is perfect, and the size makes it very usable. I have gotten so many compliments on it.

The Texas Crutch With Parchment Paper
I have read a lot lately about using butcher paper instead of foil when cooking a brisket. I wanted to try this but I didn't have any butcher paper so I decided to try parchment paper. My concern was that the "natural" or red paper recommended for this was unwaxed. While the parchment paper had a shinny side which I assumed was similar to the white butcher paper that was not recommended. I was concerned that the parchment would trap more steam than desired therefore defeating the purpose of using paper in the first place. I am defiantly a novice at smoking so I also knew my inexperience would be a factor in my little experiment. The thing I heard over and over was not to depend solely on temps but looks and feel.
The setup was WSM, Stubbs, 50/50 pecan and oak 250*. I ran for six hours till I was happy with the color and bark (IT 165*) Wrapped for three hours still at 250* cook temp. Probe went through like butter. Towel wrapped in ice chest two hours.
Here are the before and after shots.
I am pleased with the looks and it has a nice smoke ring the taste was great but the texture was too soft. The problem is that it is overdone.
So now I am left with the question, did I just cook it too long, or is the parchment paper not a good substitute for the red butcher paper.
More experimentation needed.
I have been using parchment paper
It works fine, only thing is its thinner and a bit more fragile
but I like it
your cook looks great!!!
what? wait. This is the 1st Ive heard not to use white butcher paper
White paper works fine. That looks good, I used parchment paper as well. I vote for over-cooked. I do prefer butcher paper
Re: The Texas Crutch With Parchment Paper
Since none of us are scientists, this may or may not leak into the food. I personally wouldn't hesitate to use it myself.nice looking brisket

Oh yes this is your problem. But there are 17 different types of Red Butcher Paper.... 168 Imports as well. Continentally... I think there are 29 different ones and two that are more salmon than "red". You will need to buy every one and cook a brisket for each one of them. Please, please do this and report your results here 13 years from now.
Parchment paper has been known to overcook a brisket while wrapped in the fridge while using the freezer paper can actually REVERSE overcooking... Not sure you know this. I hear Mixon's strategy is to overcook then wrap in freezer paper 13 minutes per pound until its... "right."
I can think of a million marther farkers that come in this farking place every farking day that would fark some old dried out hag after peeling back the scabs with an oyster shucker in order to make a Brisket that looks as good as yours. If you overcook one.... fixing it as far as mastery is easy.... its the ones that fret and undercook and think its done and dried up that keep going down the low and slow death march.
The Unhelpful button is over there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
If it is probing like butta it's done your problem lies in holding all wrapped up like a papoose in a rocky mountain winter blizzard. (your retaining the heat). Once it is probe tender leave it wrapped and let it rest on the counter until the temp drops at least 20 deg this can take a few hrs. then put it in a cooler to hold. Placing it into the cooler strait from the pit is will continue to cook for a long time.
I also foil, but find that the butcher paper breathes a little better and prevents quite as much "steaming" of the meat. I've used it for both brisket and butts, but you can STILL screw both up no matter what you wrap (OR NOT) with. Trust me.:biggrin1:
Re: The Texas Crutch With Parchment Paper
Great looking cook!

Re: The Texas Crutch With Parchment Paper
When you pull the brisket still wrapped in paper off the smoker you don't immediately wrap in a towel or cooler it. You let it rest on the counter still wrapped tell it drops down to 185- 190 (30min) then you hold it in a cooler in a towel or at the bottom of cambro. Instead of resting it on the counter I put it at the bottom of a cambro/cooler with the door cracked for 30 min and then lock the cambro tell guest arrive. Good luck, welcome to paper cookery looks good brotha.

Getting a water softener going after sitting for a long time
My culligan mark 59 is going out and my sister has one in her garage she isnt using. She bought it new, had it installed, used it in her house for 3 years and was happy with it. She got married, sold the house and took the softener with her. Her husband already had a softener. Its now been sitting 6 years in a heated garage. She is going to give it to me and was wondering if its worth hooking up. I plugged it in and booted right up. I was thinking of hooking a water hose into it and running it through a cycle first. Would you replace the resin before plumbing it up? Is it even worth messing with? Its an auto-trol 1 cubic foot and she paid about $1,000 installed.
Free is great if the softener is remotely close to the correct size for your water conditions and water usage. What size is YOUR Mark 59? Has it been doing it's job?
If it is, you'd want to install it and sanitize it and then see if it's working correctly or for under $500 you can get a 1 cu ft industry standard softener with the latest electronics and a warranty delivered to your house and you'd assemble and install it.
The mark 59 is a .75 cu. ft. I had the water tested after the softener and it was leaving 2 grains of hardness and no iron. My hard water tested at 23 grains 1 ppm iron. The mark 59 timer is going out. I have to tap on the clock regularly to get the clock to start working again. Its just me in the house and girlfriend is there on weekends.
Thanks justalurker! Do you think the resin is still good in the autotrol?
If the resin in your sister's Mark was just sitting and never froze then odds are it is good. The softener needs to be sanitized and then run through 2 complete regeneration cycles at maximum salt dose (15 lbs) to get the resin back to full capacity.
You'll need to set your sister's Mark for your water conditions and water use and also start to use Iron Out or a similar product to clean the resin.
Before I bought new resin I'd buy a new Fleck based softener and take advantage of the newer technology and efficiency.
Before beginning, the softener should be hooked up by bypassed so you don't get bleachy water into your home plumbing.
1) Clean out your brine tank - get rid of everything in it and rinse it out thoroughly.
2) Fill brine tank with about 3 gallons of water.
3) Add 1-2 Tablespoons of bleach - don't go crazy with the bleach or you will destroy your resin.
4) Set the softener to run a regen cycle.
5) When complete, dump the brine tank again and rinse.
6) Add 1 bag of salt and about 3 gallons of water.
7) Since you need a maximum salt dosage, let it sit for 24 hours. Then run a regen cycle. Repeat once more. Don't get impatient. You've lived without softened water for some time - a couple more days to get this right won't hurt.
8) Set your softener's setting appropriately for your water conditions (TBD since we don't have this information yet), place the softener in service and enjoy.
Sanitizing should be done first and add this missing step from Alice's post...
4a) interrupt the regeneration during the brine cycle when all the water has been removed from the brine tank and let the softener soak for 1 or 2 hours then finish the cycle making sure the chlorine is rinsed out
The two back to back regenerations, with waiting for salt to dissolve, should be done AFTER the sanitizing procedure.
And correct this step 6 in Alice's procedure...
6) add 5 gallons of water to make a 15 lb salt dose for 1 cu ft of resin (3 gallons will only make a 9 lb salt dose).
I'm obviously the odd man out in this, but......
Chlorine in any concentration above infinitesimal is very destructive of softening media. If the device is operational mechanically, I would empty out the whole thing, clean/disinfect while empty and reload with fresh resin. I don't see that doing this would be any more difficult than the other procedures suggested. Cost of the resin would be the only nut and I don't see that as a biggy.
Wish I had a dollar for every softener I've sanitized that survived the procedure when done correctly. One to two tablespoons in five gallons of water is a pretty low concentration. Matter of fact... softeners and resin should be sanitized BEFORE being put into service when new and new resin isn't shipped as being biologically safe.
I haven't seen detrimental effects from proper softener sanitizing when new or from having been out of service for a period of time. For a new softener I eliminate the 1-2 hour soak.
One cube of standard no-name, anonymous resin is running about $130. for you maybe no biggy but for me it's $130 not including gravel and it's not biologically safe in the bag.
If one is on a municipal water system there is little concern regarding biological problems in an installed softener because of the anti-bacterials the water authority adds. That doesn't mean that sanitary procedures should be ignored or omitted when putting a new softener in service.
Those who carbon filter their municipal water at POE or in the softener or who are on wells are always at risk.
Update: I ran some water hose from my laundry tub to the softener and performed the sanitize procedure as they described. Then two regen cycles and took the sample to the local water softening guys. They tested both the hard and the soft and the soft had 0 hardness 0 iron. The unsoftened water had 23 parts hardness plus 1 ppm iron. Looks like Im good to go. He said to set the salt usage at about 8 pounds. Does this sound about right on salt dosage? Thanks a million guys!
For most effective resin rejuvenation is to get a large (8-gallon) white bucket and physically dump (I use a siphoning device) the resin into it.
I rebuild many softeners and found that you could put an old unit through a dozen regens and never get it very cleaned out. I emptied one (48,000g) this morning after two backwashes and found two cups of sand in it which backwashing didn't even touch.
Moreover, the water coming out was so cloudy, murky, oily, frothy that you could not see one inch through it. I put a hose into the bucket and flushed and then poured out the water---repeated three times before the water cleared up. The water also stunk quite a bit.
This is typical even when the softener, while in use, doesn't show a lot of cloudiness. The bottoms of the tanks hold a lot unwanted matter.
The resins were reddish but of consistent size and shape (and crunchy between the teeth!).
Then I cupped the resin out into another bucket and found all the sand in the bottom---easy enough to separate manually, but backwashing wouldn't do it.
This is fairly consistent with rebuilds in my area.
I added 6 ounces of bleach and a sprinkling of Iron Magic and stirred and let sit for an hour. I flushed again until water was clear again. This time a more yellowish water came out.
I replaced the resins in the tank and then put it through a normal regeneration. Presto, the best you can do without actually replacing the resins but not what most want to do or take the time (or pay someone else to do).
Also, fill the empty tank back up with water and put a high concentration bleach in it for an hour or two, especially if there is any sliminess in the tank.
Many times I show the customers what is actually coming out of their softener and they are glad I go to this degree to service their unit.
Just simply backwashing, even with high concentrations of salt, bleach, iron out, etc., with help, but I do not believe it is the best you can do.
Next time I will make a video and try to post it.
