"Reader HORRID!!"
I was really, really looking forward to listening to the entire collection! However I just could not get beyond the first hour...i tried-i really did! The Reader is worse than awful. She is way too slow, tries too hard to make it exciting. I cant even judge the story because i found my teeth grinding listening to her. Sadly, this is my first and last book read by this Reader. I have even written her name down so i dont purchase any further reads by her.
Dan Brown
"Spellbinding Read!! Shocking!!"
The content was so intense I couldnt put it down. It was written in a really easy manner to grasp. The content did not go over your head or double talked you. You actually felt like you were there experiencing the story first hand.
That no holds barred was instituted-good, bad and ugly The story was presented without bias.
Cry!! Because i cant believe people actually opt for this type of lifestyle. Lives were ruined, children are dragged through this garbage -whole families were torn apart! And as for the celebrities-i dont think i will ever watch a Tom Cruise movie again!!
I read it because i enjoy learning about things i really know nothing about! This was a real eye opener. I could not put it down!!
"Fantastic Book"
I love the Kay Scarpetta series. The characters are so real and come to life!
The Kay Scarpetta series is so captivating I generally listen to the book a couple of times. They are so entertaining and enthralling that once I start a title it is hard to put it down! By the end of the story I am sad to see it end. The events are believable, the reader of the stories really bring the characters to life. I am glad it is always CJ Critt who reads because she keeps the characters from one book to the next. I cannot name one other reader off the top of my head-that is how much I enjoy listening to her and I have over 160 titles in my library! You can listen to them out of order and the story quickly fills in for you, however I am currently going through the series in chronological order. Anytime someone mentions needing a good book to read, I always recommend the entire series!

Going Digital
Am I the last person in the world using a Canon AE-1 SLR? I love the camera but the advantages of digital cannot be denied. I want to stay with the SLR and am leaning to the xTi and the XSi.
I have two nagging concerns. I have borrowed my brother-in-law's digital and the screen is very difficult to see. It has to be at exactly the right angle and out of direct light or it becomes a blank screen. Also, the colors are not true. In particular, blue is drained out of most colors. Purple becomes garish pink and lavender becomes baby pink. He tells me that he has features that will let me paint it the color I want. But I want the color it is, not the color I paint it.
Is this just because he has a very inexpensive camera or do digitals have a problem with seeing true colors?
Thank you very much for your help. And thanks for all the beautiful pictures. I have never been to this forum before, but I will be back. I love seeing other peoples pictures as much as I love taking my own.
I hope to be posting pictures soon. Another advantage over the old Canon SLRs. Carmellia
Hi Carmellia! I can assure you that you are not the last person on earth still shooting an AE1. I am a semi-pro photographer & I used to shoot the AE1. It is a great little camera. Digital is great but you do want to stay with an SLR digital. Unless you want to stay with Canon I would suggest you look at the Nikon D80. I shoot the Nikon D70 (version B4 the D80)& I love it. My son (also a photographer) shoots the D80 & I find that it is not only quieter but the screen on the back is larger & easier to see. Color on the Nikons are very accurate. I have had mine for 3 years with no problems. Be sure & invest in a photo printer if you do not already own one. You will want to print some of those pix you will be taking! Have fun!

Upgrade your car with an SSD?
Subject: Storage | January 19, 2015 - 05:05 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: super talent, DuraDrive AT7, ssd, SM2246EN
If you have an entertainment system in your car, why not go whole hog and upgrade it with a specially designed Super Talent DuraDrive AT7 SSD. Unfortunately you will be hard pressed to find one as they will generally be sold directly to the auto manufacturers but The SSD Review's look at it is interesting because it is the first look at Silicon Motion's new SM2246EN 6Gbps 4 channel controller. The ATTO results when connected to an X99 motherboard were impressive, peaking at 554MB/s read and 446MB/s write. It will be interesting to see which manufacturers install this in their vehicles and what usage scenarios would require this kind of throughput.
"Every now and then, we are fortunate to have SSDs reach our bench that one might not normally find within every day PC systems or servers. Our review today of the Super Talent DuraDrive AT7 SSD is just that; a SSD fully intended for the automobile industry, and more specifically In-vehicle Infotainment Systems."

Waiting for Windows Wednesday
Subject: General Tech | January 19, 2015 - 12:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: windows 10, microsoft, release
We should be finally hearing the pricetag which will be associated with Windows 10 this Wednesday as Microsoft has been sending out invites for an unveiling this week. Many have already tried the unfinished version via the Windows Insider Programme and it has received a much warmer welcome that the previous version. The Inquirer posits this could be in part because of a realization that consumers now have a choice in operating systems and are now far less likely to feel that they have to go with Microsoft or Apple. From Chromebooks to flavours of Linux wrapped in a GUI and installer that Windows users feel comfortable with there is a change in the market and the biggest competitor to a new Windows is not necessarily an older version of the OS. This has driven Microsoft to listen to customer feedback and not hand out changes to the OS that they feel customers should want but instead bring back familiar features which were removed and perhaps completely rethink their pricing. You can check out The Inquirer's musical take on what to expect right here.
"WEDNESDAY is arguably the most important day in Microsoft's recent history. We're primed and ready for what is expected to be the consumer launch of Windows 10, easily the most pivotal release in its 30 years as the world's predominant operating system."

Report: AMD Carrizo APU Benchmarks Show 2x the Performance of Kaveri, 3x Intel Iris Pro
Subject: Processors | January 18, 2015 - 05:16 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: SoC, rumor, processor, leak, iris pro, Intel, graphics, cpu, carrizo, APU, amd
A new report of leaked benchmarks paints a very interesting picture of the upcoming AMD Carrizo mobile APU.
Image credit: SiSoftware
Announced as strictly mobile parts, Carrizo is based on the next generation Excavator core and features what AMD is calling one of their biggest ever jumps in efficiency. Now alleged leaked benchmarks are showing significant performance gains as well, with numbers that should elevate the IGP dominance of AMD's APUs.
Image credit: WCCFtech
WCCFtech explains the performance shown in this SiSoft Sandra leak in their post:
"The A10 7850K scores around 270 Mpix/s while Intel's HD5200 Iris Pro scores a more modest 200 Mpix/s. Carriso scores here over 600 Mpix/s which suggests that Carrizo is more than twice as fast as Kaveri and three times faster than Iris Pro. To put this into perspective this is what an R7 265 graphics card scores, a card that offers the same graphics performance inside the Playstation 4."
While the idea of desktop APUs with greatly improved graphics and higher efficency is tantalizing, AMD has made it clear that these will be mobile-only parts at launch. When asked by Anandtech, AMD had this to say about the possibility of a desktop variant:
"With regards to your specific question, we expect Carrizo will be seen in BGA form factor desktops designs from our OEM partners. The Carrizo project was focused on thermally constrained form factors, which is where you'll see the big differences in performance and other experiences that consumers value."
The new mobile APU will be manufactured with the same 28nm process as Kaveri, with power consumption up to 35W for the Carrizo down to a maximum of 15W for the ultra-mobile Carrizo-L parts.
Intel's 5.5-inch Socketed Motherboard is 28% Smaller than Mini-ITX
Subject: Motherboards | January 17, 2015 - 05:22 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: SFF, nuc, motherboard, mini-itx, Intel
Bay Trail-M has been at the heart of several interesting micro-PC products in the past few months, but the limitations of the SoC have thus far kept these ultra-low power devices from becoming serious PC contenders. New products with AMD APUs look promising, and we will see how they perform once they become available. Meanwhile, Intel might be changing the mini-PC landcape soon with a new motherboard form-factor.
It doesn't have a name but the 5.5" square board looks like a smaller version of a thin mini-ITX design, with flush mounted DIMM slots and support for M.2 SSD storage. SemiAccurate is reporting that "it will support up to 16GB of DDR3L, an M.2 SSD and 2.5″ HD, 4x USB 3.0, 2x HDMI, GbE, audio, and Wi-Fi". A mini-ITX board on the other hand, though slightly larger at 6.7" x 6.7", has the advantage of supporting full-size GPUs (except the thin-mini variant). But when size and power consumption are the primary concern the lack of PCIe expansion is less important, and this sub-ITX board offers socketed CPU support rather than a soldered BGA solution, permitting customization and potentially offering a more desktop-like upgrade path.
No word on availability of the prototype board from Intel, which the report said was seen at this year's CES. It would make sense that Intel has learned from their experience with the NUC and created a smaller form-factor, but it remains to be seen whether such a product will enter the retail channel or become an OEM part.
CompuLab Fitlet PC Lineup Is Small and Fanless
Subject: General Tech, Systems | January 16, 2015 - 11:21 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nuc, fitlet-x, fitlet-i, fitlet-b, fitlet, compulab, APU, amd
The Israeli PC manufacturer, CompuLab Ltd., has announced three lines of small, fanless systems. They will be smaller than the NUC and run AMD APUs, from the E1 to the A4, which CompuLab claims are more powerful than NUCs of comparable prices. They can be configured with either Windows (7, 8, or 10) or Linux Mint. They are officially classified as Industrial PCs, and the 5-year warranty reinforces that association, but others might also be interested.
CompuLab Fitlet-b
Let's start in the middle with the Fitlet-i. With a TDP of 4.5W, it is powered by an AMD A4-6400T APU at 1.0 GHz (1.6 GHz boost). It can be configured with up to 8GB of DDR3 memory.
The other features of the Fitlet-i are:
- Two 3.5mm stereo audio jacks (one in, one out)
- One S/PDIF port
- Four USB 2.0 ports
- Two USB 3.0 ports
- Two HDMI 1.4 ports
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
- 802.11ac (clarified Jan 17th: built in, with external antennas I believe)
- One microSD card slot
- One eSATA port, rated at 6Gbps
- One serial port (because industrial)
- One mSATA socket (low profile)
- One mini-PCIe socket (high profile, half or full size)
The Fitlet-X is similar to the above, except that it has four Gigabit Ethernet ports (instead of two), but it loses one USB 2.0 port (three total), has its Wireless downgraded to a USB 802.11n dongle, and it has no eSATA port. The extra pair of Gigabit Ethernet adapters is not the only perk though, as it has their "FACET card" interface, which provides 3 lanes of PCIe (if you want to take a risk on the interface).
CompuLab Fitlet-i
That leaves us with the Fitlet-b, which is the base model. Its TDP is slightly lower, 3.95W, and is powered by an AMD E1-6200T APU at 1.0 GHz (1.4 GHz boost). It has just one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, the USB 802.11n dongle, and just a full-size mSATA (low profile) expansion for storage. It does have both HDMI 1.4a outputs though.
CompuLab Fitlet-X
The Fitlet will be available in February, starting at $129 for the Fitlet-b barebone, via Amazon for North America and Europe. It will also be available directly from CompuLab and resellers for the rest of the world.
Graphics Developers: Help Name Next Generation OpenGL
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | January 16, 2015 - 10:37 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Khronos, opengl, OpenGL ES, webgl, OpenGL Next
The Khornos Group probably wants some advice from graphics developers because they ultimately want to market to them, as the future platform's success depends on their applications. If you develop games or other software (web browsers?) then you can give your feedback. If not, then it's probably best to leave responses to its target demographic.
As for the questions themselves, first and foremost they ask if you are (or were) an active software developer. From there, they ask you to score your opinion on OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and WebGL. They then ask whether you value "Open" or "GL" in the title. They then ask you whether you feel like OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and WebGL are related APIs. They ask how you learn about the Khronos APIs. Finally, they directly ask you for name suggestions and any final commentary.
Now it is time to (metaphorically) read tea leaves. The survey seems written primarily to establish whether developers consider OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and WebGL as related libraries, and to gauge their overall interest in each. If you look at the way OpenGL ES has been developing, it has slowly brought mobile graphics into a subset of desktop GPU features. It is basically an on-ramp to full OpenGL.
We expect that, like Mantle and DirectX 12, the next OpenGL initiative will be designed around efficiently loading massively parallel processors, with a little bit of fixed-function hardware for common tasks, like rasterizing triangles into fragments. The name survey might be implying that the Next Generation OpenGL Initiative is intended to be a unified platform, for high-end, mobile, and even web. Again, modern graphics APIs are based on loading massively parallel processors as directly as possible.
If you are a graphics developer, the Khronos Group is asking for your feedback via their survey.
CES 2015: Monoprice Announcements
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Shows and Expos | January 16, 2015 - 06:59 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: CES, ces 2015, monoprice, ips, 4k, 120hz, mechanical keyboard, touch screen, drawing
So CES has ended over a week ago, but somehow we missed Monoprice. While they are known for cheap cables that are also good and reliable, the retailer has been pushing out some interesting, self-branded products. At this year's CES, they advertised a multi-touch pen display, a cheap 4K 60Hz monitor, a 30-inch IPS panel that is guaranteed to work at 120Hz 1600p (16:10), and an RGB-backlit mechanical keyboard.
First up is their 22-inch multi-touch pen display. Not too long ago, I noticed that they had a 22-inch pen display without a touch screen, similar to my Wacom Cintiq 22HD, for under $600. Of course, this got me looking at its product page because that is significantly cheaper than what I paid for mine -- like, several times cheaper. In that page was a warning that it was not suitable for multi-monitor setups, and suggested that users clone it (rather than extending their desktop). Yikes. Okay. That's problematic.
Well now it no longer has that warning, and neither does their new, higher-end version with built-in multi-touch. Hopefully this means that they sorted out their driver (or configuration) issues under Windows.
The display itself is a 22-inch, 1080p, IPS panel with 16.7 million colors (so not 10-bit). It has a 5ms response time, which is good for IPS, but no listing of sRGB or AdobeRGB coverage. This could be problematic for someone looking to use it for professional applications, but being an IPS display it might be okay.
The current price is $550 for the pen-input monitor, and $750 for the pen or 10-point touch model. Both are also compatible with 75mm x 75mm VESA wall mounts, because the writing's on the wall or some pun like that.
Also launched is a 28-inch 4K display for $449. They do not state the panel technology, but with a reduced vertical viewing angle, which is bad, and a 1ms response time, which is good, it pretty much must be TN. It is a bit sad that it is not IPS, IGZO, PLS, or another high-end panel type, but it is also $449.
Image Credit: Anandtech
Keeping on the topic of displays, Anandtech was shown a 30-inch, 1600p panel that is guaranteed to run at 120Hz. While we are starting to see a few high refresh rate IPS panels pop up this year, it was the domain of display overclockers before then. Enthusiasts would purchase monitors that were shipped directly from smaller South Korean manufacturers (who typically purchase lesser-binned panels from LG, and so forth) and cross their fingers when they give it a higher refresh rate. This one is guaranteed by Monoprice to run at 120Hz, but it does not yet have pricing and availability.
Image Credit: Anandtech
Lastly, Anandtech also saw a mechanical keyboard with programmable RGB backlighting. It uses Kailh RGB switches, which are based on the Cherry MX design after the patents expired. Again, no pricing or availability on this one.
Video Perspective: Amazon Echo Overview
Subject: General Tech | January 16, 2015 - 06:05 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, echo, amazon
Late last year Amazon announced the pending release of the Echo, a standalone device that would sit in your home or office and listen to voice commands and respond in a Siri-like or Google Now-like fashion. The first Amazon Echo units have shipped and I received one of them, opening it up and putting it to use for a few days this week.
At its core, the Echo is a collection of microphones and speakers, connected to the internet through Wi-Fi. Using the keyword of "Alexa" (or you can change it to "Amazon") you stir Echo from its slumber to respond to requests for information, streaming music and lists or timers. Voice recognition is fantastic and the speed at which Echo responds to voice commands is impressive, moving along at a quicker pace than either Google's or Apple's options.
Users that have uploaded their music collection to Amazon's cloud library will be able to access that music through the 2.5-in subwoofer and 2.0-in tweeter, both of which add up to surprisingly good audio performance for such a small device. Amazon Prime users will have access to the company's collection of including streaming music as well, though that collection is notably smaller than something like Spotify. Music from Amazon's digital music store is the one item you can purchase solely through voice commands.
Adding things to a shopping list, asking for fact-based information and telling lame jokes all happen efficiently. But the drawback to the Echo is its lack of knowledge about the rest of my life. The device has no ability to know about my next calendar appointment, my incoming emails, my estimated drive time to the work. Google does though, and I can't help but think that a Google iteration of this exact item would be a better solution.
Check out the video below to see Amazon Echo in action and determine if this device deserves a spot in your home.
"gorescript" Is an Indie, Browser-Based 3D Shooter
Subject: General Tech | January 16, 2015 - 02:36 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: webgl, pc gaming
gorescript is a first person shooter that runs in a browser through WebGL (via Three.JS). Its developer, Time Invariant Games, has not mentioned a business model, if there is one, but the first three levels, three guns, and two monsters can be instantly played at their GitHub site for free. The source code, including a map editor for levels and a map editor for monsters, weapons, and powerups, is also on their GitHub under an MIT (permissive) license.
From a technical standpoint, it is not the most impressive game that I have played in a browser -- that would be a toss-up between Unreal Tournament 3 (they had a demo at Mozilla Summit 2013) or Dead Trigger 2. In gorescript on Firefox 35, I was getting about 80-110 FPS, although that begun to crawl down to around 20-30 FPS with some dips down to ~10 FPS; it was probably averaging ~45 FPS when all is said and done.
(Note: Especially if you have a high-refresh panel, the maximum frame rate of Firefox can be adjusted in about:config with the layout.frame_rate variable. Mine is set to 120.)
Again, it is free and it should amuse you for a little while. Maybe we can get it to blow up with third-party content? Even as it is, I think it is worth a mention for anyone who wants a Doom/Quake throwback.

The Cougar 700M Gaming Mouse is a right handed gaming mouse offers a serious amount of adjustments and options as well as a design which certainly stands out. The DPI is programmable from 50 to 8200 and with the software it seems you can actually specify different levels to your X and Y axis if you so desire. It comes with weights and the height of the pad on the rear of the mouse can be adjusted to ensure it fits your hand comfortably as well as a headlight of varying colours. Techgage gave the mouse and software a try in their latest review, check out what they thought of it here.
"Mice – there is never a shortage of options in the gaming market. They range from $10, to well over $100 – some are a tremendous value, some are not. COUGAR is no stranger to this market and have put its best foot forward with the 700M Gaming Mouse. How did it fare? Follow me, I'll show you!"

Steam for Linux will teach you the difference between backups and redundancy
Subject: General Tech | January 16, 2015 - 12:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: steam, linux, idiots
If you move the Steam home directory of $STEAMROOT in Linux then you are running the risk of running rm -rf on your user directory, which in the case of this unfortunate person on Slashdot included their attached USB hard drive. This is rather nasty bug and one which is easily avoidable by the use of proper syntax but unfortunately the command rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"* contains an unnecessary / and without an error checking facility included if there is no $STEAMROOT directory the command run is rm -rf "/"*. As it is in your home folder you do not even need to be running as root so for the time being it would be very wise to leave your Steam files in their default location and to realize that anything plugged into your machine is not a true backup until removed from your system.
"I launched steam. It did not launch, it offered to let me browse, and still could not find it when I pointed to the new location. Steam crashed. I restarted it. It re-installed itself and everything looked great. Until I looked and saw that steam had apparently deleted everything owned by my user recursively from the root directory. Including my 3tb external drive I back everything up to that was mounted under /media."

Raptr's Top PC Games of December 2014
Subject: General Tech | January 16, 2015 - 11:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: raptr, pc gaming
Whoops! It looks like I forgot about Raptr's list for November. In it, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare launched at 10th place and 17th place, respectively. World of Warcraft also jumped from 8.53% to 15.61% of total play time, which is significant and almost equal to League of Legends. Spider Solitaire also made November's list at 19th place.
This month, Dragon Age: Inquisition climbed from 10th to 6th, because it had a full month of play, while Call of Duty fell off completely (along with PAYDAY 2 and Spider Solitaire). Also, World of Warcraft did not lose its gain, but actually built upon it by a small amount. It did not grab mindshare from League of Legends though, because that game rebounded from its losses in November and was even more popular than it was in October.
That's about all that I found interesting however.
Ah, the days when a 1GHz overclock was considered poor
Subject: Processors | January 15, 2015 - 03:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Pentium G3258, overclock, Intel
You just don't see CPU overclocking guides much anymore, the process has become much easier over the years as Intel and AMD both now sell unlocked CPUs that they expect you to overclock and the motherboard tools and UEFI interfaces do a lot of the heavy lifting for you now. No longer are you doing calculations for frequency ratios or drawing on your CPU with conductive ink. Overclockers Club is revisiting those heydays with a guide on how to make your $70 3.2GHz Pentium G3258 into a more serious beast with a speed well over 4GHz. The steps for overclocking are not difficult but for those who do not have a background in overclocking CPUs, the verification testing steps they describe will be of great value. If you are already well versed in the ways of MemTest86 and Prime95 then perhaps it will be a nice reminder of the days of the Celeron and the huge increases in frequency that family rewarded the patient overclocker with.
"To reach 4.7GHz was a cinch once I adjusted all the smaller voltage settings. Like all overclockers, it was a journey with many failures along the way. One day it would boot and run Prime95, and the next time Windows would not load. It took a while to sort it out by backing down to 4.5GHz and raising each setting until I settled on the below settings."

Neither IBM nor the mainframe are dead yet
Subject: General Tech | January 15, 2015 - 01:10 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: IBM, mainframe, power8
IBM has just released a new mainframe based on their new 5GHz 22nm Power8 based Processing Units with some models supporting up to 10TB of RAM, the minimum you can run is a mere 64GB. It can not only run IBM's zOS but is also capable of directly supporting Linux and can be managed with a Blade running Windows if you so desire. These fancy looking little mainframes are set up with drawers of either 39 or 42 PUs, so you can upgrade as your usage requires although 2 are actually spares and 6 are System Assist Processors, the remaining PUs can be assigned to varying roles as in previous IBM Z models. These machines are designed to handle large amounts of data traffic, providing real time encryption on up to 2.5 billion transactions per day. The Register feels that the most likely usage scenario will be to provide secure mobile data traffic, something which is certainly needed. You can also glean more information from this blog entry if you are curious about the architecture and capabilities of this mainframe.
"Of course, the proof of the pudding will be in the market, but IBM will be hoping that the billion dollars it's poured into developing the new z13 mainframe will get the big end of town as excited as Big Blue itself is."

Windows 7 Is Now Classified as Extended Support
Subject: General Tech | January 15, 2015 - 03:41 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: microsoft, windows, extended support
According to Microsoft's lifecycle calendar, Windows 7 left mainstream support on the 13th of January and has entered "Extended Support". This means that the operating system will still receive security updates, but not non-security ones, and "requests to change product design and features" will not be accepted. While the OS is over five years old, it is still very popular, especially among PC gamers.
My concern is that this occurred while we anticipate major changes to the Windows platform. While I never really expected that Microsoft would release DirectX 12 for Windows, there was still hope that we would see a pre-release or developer build while Windows 7 was still in mainstream support (despite being several driver models behind). Now that the window has closed, so to speak, that hope is diminishing. Windows 8.1, on the other hand, might be okay, but I have no idea why you would want to stick with it over Windows 10, especially if it is a free/cheap update.
Besides DirectX 12, I am also concerned about Microsoft cutting off first-party web browsers at IE11. Sure, it is a much better place to end than IE8 on Windows XP, and the end-user could always install a third-party browser, but it could lead to problems for web developers. It is much easier to say "keep Internet Explorer up to date" (heck, even Microsoft is saying it) than the alternative, "use a different browser". There are still many features under consideration (Shadow DOM being the most interesting for me) that would be nice to have, and not need to worry about the fraction of a fraction.
But at least it will be kept secure until 2020.
Remember all those online 'experts' telling you that OCZ SSDs always fail?
Subject: Storage | January 14, 2015 - 04:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ocz, torture, ARC 100
The Tech Report has already shown a variety of SSDs can survive long after their write life cycle has been exceeded and that some drives can continue past 2 petabytes. Kitguru is performing a very similar test, specifically with OCZ Arc 100 SSD and have now passed the 100TB mark with the five drives they are testing. Not a single one of these consumer level drives have died and only one of the drives has reported an error and that was one single bad block. While they have had problems with a specific controller in the past, they no longer use that controller and claims that all of their drives are tarnished is a bit of an exaggeration. A specific performance was also finally addressed, but they are certainly not the only manufacturer that has needed to be called out to address performance degradation over time. You can see the current results here.
"The drives all passed the warranty figure of 22TB at the close of December – our next test was to get them all past the 100TB mark. Would any fail?"

FarCry 4 performance, it is almost ready for prime time
Subject: General Tech | January 14, 2015 - 02:24 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ubisoft, sad, gaming, farcry 4
[H]ard|OCP recently put out a pair of articles covering Far Cry 4, the first of which covered the various new graphics features, many of which are only available to NVIDIA users and others like the Godrays which have such a performance impact on AMD GPUs that they may as well be NVIDIA only. The second will be of more interest to gamers as they benchmark a dozen GPUs, covering NVIDIA from the GTX 750Ti through to the GTX 980 and AMD from the R7 260X through to the R9 290X. They also had a chance to test SLI performance but unfortunately as Ubisoft decided to disable Crossfire completely in the game there could not be any multiple AMD GPU setups tested. Perhaps the most telling conclusion from [H]ard|OCP is also the most obvious, even though this is an evolution of the FarCry3 engine there have been numerous issues with the game since launch and even after six patches major issues with the game and the continued refusal to support Crossfire are hurting this games performance. If you still plan to play the game you can read [H]'s full performance review to see how your GPU should perform in Ubisoft's latest ... release.
"We play Far Cry 4 on no less than twelve different GPUs for this in-depth look at what graphics settings are playable in Far Cry 4. We will talk about playable settings and show apples-to-apples so you know what to expect in this game and what upgrading your video card may do for you in this new game."

Tagged: history, cpu, errata, dan luu
A question was asked of Dan Luu about what new tricks silicon has learned since the early days of the eighties. The answer covers a gamut of what tools those who work on low level code such as drivers and UEFI/BIOS now have at their disposal. It is far more than just the fact that we have grown from 8 bit to 64 bit or the frequencies possible now that were undreamed of before but delves into the newer features such as out of order instructions and single instruction, multiple data instructions. If you are not familiar with how CPUs and GPGPUs operate at these low levels it is a great jumping off point for you to learn what the features are called and to get a rough idea of what tasks they perform. If you know your silicon through and through it is a nice look back at what has been added in the last 25 years and a reminder of what you had to work without back in the days when flashing a BIOS was a literal thing. You can also check the comments below the links at Slashdot as they are uncharacteristically on topic.
"An article by Dan Luu answers this question and provides a good overview of various cool tricks modern CPUs can perform. The slightly older presentation Compiler++ by Jim Radigan also gives some insight on how C++ translates to modern instruction sets."

Report: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Specs and Synthetic Benchmarks Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 14, 2015 - 10:49 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumors, NVIDA, leak, gtx 960, gpu, geforce
The GPU news and rumor site VideoCardz.com had yet another post about the GTX 960 yesterday, and this time the site claims they have most of the details about this unreleased GPU with new leaked photos from a forum on the Chinese site PCEVA.
The card is reportedly based on Maxwell GM206, a 1024 CUDA core part recently announced with the introduction of the GTX 965M. Clock speed was not listed but alleged screenshots indicate the sample had a 1228 MHz core and 1291 MHz Boost clock. The site is calling this an overclock, but it's still likely that the core would have a faster clock speed than the GTX 970 and 980.
The card will reportedly feature 2GB of 128-bit GDDR5 memory, though doubtless 4GB variants would likely be available after launch from the various vendors (an important option considering the possibility of the new card natively supporting triple DisplayPort monitors). Performance will clearly be a step down from the initial GTX 900-series offerings as NVIDIA has led with their more performant parts, but the 960 should still be a solid choice for 1080p gaming if these screenshots are real.
The specs as listed on the page at VideoCardz.com are follows (they do not list clock speed):
- 28nm GM206-300 GPU
- 1024 CUDA cores
- 64(?) TMUs
- 32 ROPs
- 1753 MHz memory
- 128-bit memory bus
- 2GB memory size
- 112 GB/s memory bandwidth
- DirectX 11.3/12
- 1x 6-pin power connector
- 1x DVI-I, 1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DP
We await official word on pricing and availability for this unreleased GPU.

Your team said you were afk.. I believe them over you, criminal!! Heh
15 deaths is just unexcusable. I have NEVER had that many and I've probably played thousands of games of LoL over the last few years.
I would ALWAYS report you for feeding like that. Go back to normals and quit ruining people's games.
playing poorly for that many games, yea i would of punished, especially if it was ranked.
Why should other people lose ELO because you decided to go 15 deaths as jungle singed.
Saying "gg" at the end makes it seem like you were purposely not communicating with the team throughout the rest of the game. Still, I'd have a tough time hitting punish because I can't see pings in Tribunal.
Thing is, it does seem like you're subtling trolling in every game outisde of the Vayne game based upon the reactions of your teammates. Despite this though, I don't have sufficient enough evidence to hit the punish button. You may be trolling you team silently for whatever reason. You may simply be bad. I can't tell, so I won't punish.
I, however, am not surprised other people voted punish. I can see why they might.
Inb4downvotes for stating my observations.
lol 1 hate report every game, seem like tribunal is working,
guys pls , if he s really trolling, he would get 4 reports every game, u know wat this community is like
wang slangin
It's terrible that they punished you.. but man, stop playing ranked. It is obvious you are not ready to compete in it. Plays normals and have fun, get better.
Anyway, I completely disagree with the ban and have lost all faith in the tribunal.
As your fellow troll, I can attest that you were subtle trolling.
It's obvious. VERY obvious. The only ones you can fool are the people who aren't aware of basic trolling techniques.

Glass Balls?
Does anyone have any ideas what you could do with the glass balls they sell at Christmas time? These look the ones you hang on your tree but they are much bigger. I have bought a few since Christmas has been over (clearance priced), but not sure what to do with them yet. I am trying to think of something to do with them and they don't have to be used just for Christmas. I have seen so many of these in some of the most beautiful colors and sizes, I just think if some one was having a winter wedding, they could use these for decorations and you could do it really cheap. I think it would be soooo pretty. If you have any ideas what to do with these please post them..
Thanks and I hope everyone has a good week,
tralynn, are these colored glass balls or clear? I would say you if they are clear you can make Guardian angel ornaments out of them with the feather and etc inside .. could use any time of year.. if colored. you could just add someone's name on them or maybe their birthday date and name, and add pretty ribbon on it.. and hang on one of those brass hooks.. just some ideas.. you can add name and dates with glue and glitter..
Tralynn, I bought quite a few of them in both the clear glass and a pale blue. I'm planning to use some of them in a pond as "bubbles" and some of them I will probably attach cords to and hang in my windows to catch the light. I found 3 different sizes of them.. from regular Christmas ornament size to fairly large.
I bought colored ones. Couldn't find any clear ones. I bought some red and some gold ones. The gold ones are very pretty. They are like satin gold. I feel like I really got a deal on them. The big ones were 2 in a box for .50. Then there were some smaller ones but still good size for 4 for .50 I just think they are so pretty that I would really like to use them. Thanks for your ideas and I am still thinking.
how about filling them so full with tiny hearts, red glitter, white feathers, rose peatls,small peices of scrapebook paper cut up, you could also paint hearts, words and use for valentines day decoration, small ones could also be used for the valentine trees.
oreos-mom love the bubble idea for your pond, might try that myself, TFS all the ideas!
tralynn, if that's all you paid,you didn't get a bargain.. you got a steal.. lol ! i didn't see any of the red or gold ones. bet they are pretty. i paid over $6.00 a pc.for my large ones and $4.00 for the smaller ones.
oddie, i was thinking.. you probably wouldn't even have to have a full fledged pond.. you could use them in ponds made of half whiskey barrels,etc. i'm trying to figure out what i can use to seal around the top so they don't sink..lol !
In the past I have used them and poured the 2 or 3 colors of paint in to swirl around and drain out, put in the mica snow and paint the snowman face on them and put the pom poms and pipe cleaner on, put alittle snow in it and paint a small snowman on them with the dabbers in the different sizes for the balls and paint in features, have put star garland and such in them. You can put pictures in them, pop popcorn in them. For the last several years now I use them to put dried flowers in if we have had a death in the family. I also get a picture of them and shrink it WAY down and put 3 or 4 of these inside and then I also attach a picture to the hanger on the outside with fishing line.
Nona,I had actually forgotten about the silicone..lol ! I bet they would look nice as toppers for garden totems too.And you know..since Lilac mentioned swirling the paint around in them.. I wonder how they would look done like that with a little glitter added and used on a bottle tree instead of bottles..hmmm..
I just saw online somewhere that someone took jars (you could use clear Christmas balls/ornaments) to make the most clever lanterns. Are you ready for this? It would be SO COOL for an outdoor night-time soiree...They broke open glow sticks and shook the fluid inside the jars. Then also added some glitter.
Here is a link that might be useful: Here's a link
You can use tweezers,do snow scenes,popourii,mm smells good and is prettyYou can smell them all Christmas hanging on the tree ,put a bow to match,beads,anything you can shove in the hole,all kind of miniatures at the craft store,the swirled paint is fun and certain colors together are beautiful,after we did that we sprayed clear spray in the hole to seal it.

Hi ..I purchased a couple of tuberose bulbs(3) and planted them in a pot a lil late in spring.I realized after they take a long time to bloom .my question is they havent bloomed for me yet and temperatures are starting to drop.When and how do I begin to store them for winter.. They are still very lush and green. Kinda too big of a pot to bring inside....Thanks
If you have space with the right exposure inside, you should bring your pot inside now. When I lived on the coast, noted for cool summers, often they would not bloom in season. By taking them inside with an east exposure in front of full length windows and continuing to feed and water, I would have them blooming in January or February. Al
I have never cut off the leaves, just let them die back themselves, as the weather cools. They are a native of Mexico and even when dormant still have a green tip, where next years stem will start. There will be a lot of tiny bulbs around the big bulb which can be separated and grown on. They will take several years to reach blooming size. If you do nothing at all you will end up in a few years with a solid block maybe 6 or 8 inch across. At that point I would break it all up, saving the largest bulbs. The biggest problem is getting the right growing condition to assure the blooming. Al
I purchased tuberose bulbs in spring 2011. The largest bulbs flowered that year but smaller bulbs only grew foliage. I left them outside until our first light frost when the foliage started to die down. After that, I lifted them from their pots, shook off soil, cut off the foliage, put them in a paper bag and stuck them in my basement. Last year I brought them out early spring and had about a third of them flower. I treated them the same way over winter. This spring I planted them outside late and have had no flowers.
So, I am not sure if they are dwindling in vigor or if the late planting prevented them from flowering.
I treat them pretty much the same way I have treated my gladiolus. This year I am going to try storing them in peat, more like how I treat dahlias (keep slightly damp).
Thanks trovesoftrilliums...I was also thinking that it might not be flowering due to age and bulb size.I did have them planted at least 4 .months...Ill just try storing them in a paperbag alone in my basement ...I also read that once they flower they dont rebloom but the scales produce more blooms or something like that maybe Im mistaken ......just out of curiosity what temperatures do you consider light frost ?THAnks both for the detailed help!! Kristen
Kristen, dig them up before hard frost and store them in the basement in a box, out of the light. Do not break up the bulb mass, keep it as is. Next late JUNE plant the whole mass outside, water well and feed them with Miracle Gro once or twice. This will get them to bloom outside. When the flower stalks are finished, deadhead - cut the whole stalk off.
I have found after doing all this, each year gives me more bloom stalks than the season before. This year I had a dozen stalks.
ok UPDATE....I dug my bulbs up and was going to put them in the basement but got lazy and had them in a bag near a sunny window...Well one bloom popped up!! Its been a bout week or two and it still hasnt opened.Its sitting in a paper bag with no soil near a bright window...Any ideas how to get the bloom to open ...should I water or mist the bulbs even though they are dirtless?Any ideas?
When a flowering stem reaches this stage, in my experience, they will always go on to bloom. I would go ahead and pot it up again, water and feed, and keep in the same location. I think if you do you will get the most flowers on the stem. Al

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Vermont scorecards, email suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
