When the new year rolls around, we all start thinking about eating a little bit lighter and healthier. It's important to not just cut out the fat and calories, but to make sure you're also putting wholesome and good-for-you foods in your body. Here are just a few tips to keep your diet healthy and delicious.
Winter is the time of year for warm and flavorful meals, and it's important to choose the appropriate wine to compliment the richness of comfort food. There is no definitive rule about which wines you should drink in the wintertime, but I enjoy a hearty, full-bodied red during the colder months.

As you probably know, the popularity of Pinot Noir has really exploded in the last several years. But what a lot of people don't know is how much fun it can be to explore how differently this grape behaves depending on where it's grown. A French Burgundy may taste quite different than a Pinot Noir produced in California, which may also taste unlike one from Oregon. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to showcase the versatility of Pinot Noir. It goes well with all the flavors of the day—turkey, stuffing, cranberries—you name it. I recommend purchasing a bottle or two from each region (depending on how many guests you're serving) and taking advantage of the holiday to sample each one. You could try a Louis Jadot Burgundy from France and a Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley or Santa Lucia Highlands in California or one from Oregon. Read More >

On the interface it may seem like there are not so many changes but under the hood there's a shiny new engine! This get's us ready for the future. It will enable us to create a mobile interface for example. It's also a much more organized and more secure framework. Extensive security testing has been performed by Cigitel. There's also a new module for document management. You can search through files and add workflow to documents. Important: If you use SyncML clients like funambol you must reconfigure them. When you use the debian repository you must connect to /sync instead of /sync.php. If you don't use Debian packages you can connect to /modules/syncml/index.php. Also make sure the syncml module is installed. 10/03/2011 3.7.1 This release has a lot of enhancements under the hood. Everything has been optimized to work well in very large environments such as more then 20.000 users.

The startup time of Group-Office has been improved, there is support for Microsoft Office templates now and we improved the ticket system a lot. Customers can also login through the Group-Office interface now. 2009/02/24 3.4.0 In this release we bring you a lot of small improvements across all modules and also Microsoft ActiveSync support so you can sync with any phone that supports ActiveSync. This means you can sync with iPhones, Nokia's, Google Android and of course Windows Mobile. Setting up synchronization with contacts, appointments, tasks and e-mail is really easy now!

Check out the changelog for a full list of changes. 2009/12/01 3.3.0 We've been working a lot on performance for this release. We're now using compression on the files so the startup time of Group-Office is much faster. Enhancements on the permissions system deliver a much better overall performance on large installations. We've also added a lot of new features like: - Resource management to book meeting rooms for example - Enhanced project manager - Tickets or Helpdesk module - A lot of small enhancements everywhere in the system Upgrading to this version is recommended for everyone! 2009/08/18 3.2.25 Fixed some bugs and we enhanced the RSS feeds panel and address formatting functions. 2009/08/13 3.2.21 Moving e-mails between IMAP accounts is now possible and you can select different address formats for contacts and companies now.

Multiple sender aliases can be defined in the e-mail module and a lot of new features were added to the projects module. 2009/02/16 Version 3.01 Since the initial 3.0 release we have actively been developing new features. The most important new features since the first version are: -GO can be setup as a complete mail server that handles multiple domains and vacation autoresponse -Importing and exporting of custom fields in the addressbook -Improved Synchronization. It now supports the Blackberry Funambol and Nexthaus client. -New timesheet in projects for easier time registration -Support for subprojects and more intutive display of project information -Save e-mail as tasks, files, appointments and notes option.

We are proud to present Group-Office 3.0, Group-Office needed to be modernized. New web techniques have been developed and are ready to use in a professional platform such as Group-Office. We completely rewrote the interface of Group-Office. It feels much more like a desktop application now with drag and drop features, flexible information panels and much more! Besides the eye candy and usability enhancements a lot has been improved under the hood too. The database adapter has been rewritten to use the improved MySQLi extension for better security. Data sent to the database is checked for attacks at the lowest level so it's impossible for developers to write insecure database queries when they use the Group-Office framework. A lot more has been done to improve security like insecure image blocking in the e-mail module. It's impossible to name every change here in this message, you should check out the new version for yourself! 2008/09/03 Version 3.00 unstable It was time for Group-Office to modernise. New web techniques have been developed and are ready to use in a professional platform such as Group-Office. Techniques such as AJAX, PHP5 and MySQL5.

We decided to completely rewrite Group-Office with this framework and we are very proud with the result. Group-Office looks better, works better and is ready for the future! 2007/10/26 Version 2.18 This version has a new Java Webstart program that makes file management easier for you.

"I call on Congress today to act immediately, to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every school — and to do it now, to make sure that blanket of safety is in place when our children return to school in January."
Unfortunately for LaPierre, two disastrous examples directly contradict his position.
On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School had an armed guard--Sheriff's Deputy Neil Gardner on duty on campus. Although Gardner was on duty (he was eating lunch when the shooting started), Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were able to kill 12 students and a teacher, and wound 21 others and before committing suicide.
And Virginia Tech, which remains the site of the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, had what amounted to a SWAT team on campus. According to the governor's report on the 2007 shootings that left 32 people dead and 17 wounded, the Virginia Tech police department, a fully accredited police force, has an emergency response team. On April 16, 2007, 34 armed officers were on duty.
Neither Gardner at Columbine High School, nor the Virginia Tech Police force, were able to prevent the events of two of the worst mass gun murders ever to occur in the U.S.

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL All that advertising doesn't ensure new customers for insurersBy SCOTT SUTTELL 10:21 am, January 31, 2013
Auto insurers, including Mayfield Village-based Progressive Corp., spend increasingly large amounts on ad campaigns each year, The Wall Street Journal reports, but a new study finds "the industry's billions are chasing fewer drivers who actually shift their business."
A long Bloomberg story looks at the extent to which cities incur big costs for the privilege of being home to professional sports teams — especially NFL franchises.

Why no Reiser4? It is the most similar to Btrfs as far as technology and is much more mature.
Phoronix: Btrfs Is Not Yet The Performance King
With the release this week of Fedora 11 Preview, which incorporates install-time support for the Btrfs file-system into Red Hat's Anaconda installer, we have now delivered our first set of benchmark results for this next-generation Linux file-system. Through a horde of disk tests we have looked at the Btrfs file-system performance and compared it to that of EXT3, EXT4, and XFS. While Btrfs does perform well in some areas, it is not yet the performance king for Linux file-systems. As our results show, in some tests it even has a hard time competing with the incremental EXT4 file-system.
Why no Reiser4? It is the most similar to Btrfs as far as technology and is much more mature.
why no love for jfs here?
I'd rather see a comparison against hammer than ext3/4 or reiser...
Btrfs is mainly created for the Oracle client that dont want to use "raw device"...
It's to improve performance reading/writing large files with high concurrency.
So it have to be fast on concurrent request.
What should be looked is :
how mysql perform on BTRFS
how postgres perform on BTRFS
how firebird perform on BTRFS
As there is no magical solution, btrfs is no exception. It's not a general usage fs as are ext?.
(imho) On desktop xfs will be the way to go.
Well, imho btrfs is not as interesting as everyone makes it out to be. Performance-wise it's obviously not so great (I do realise that it's still in development and this might change in the future), and the features it delivers are not very interesting as well imho, except maybe for the online defragmentation thingy. But I'm not an enterprise user whis is what this fs aims at I assume.
Still I appreciate the work. Let's hope it doesn't get axed now that Oracle owns Sun and thus already has ZFS.
Does it have these features now? A few months ago, it didn't have defragmentation and other features were also missing.The Btrfs file-system supports writable snapshots, sub-volumes, object-level mirroring and stripping, data checksums, compression, online file-system checking support, and online defragmentation support.
I hope the Oracle/Sun deal doesn't go through. I hate to say it, but I hope Microsoft steps in and saves the day...
Oracle have done everything in their power to kill MySQL in the past. E.g. buying the ACID engine, and refusing MySQL to renew their license for ACID.
So if the deal goes though, it is very likely the end of MySQL, Open Office and btrFS, as they now have ZFS.
Let's hope that HP, Dell, or IBM buys Sun, and not Oracle or Microsoft.
btrfs STOMPED in this early showing. Ext4 is a filesystem with OLD well known incremental features that SHOULD HAVE BEEN in ext3 (it's a basic filesystem with a few, very few, advancements).
btrfs is feature rich... as long as it competes (and this EARLY, and I do mean, EARLY, test show that) it's ok.
Winner: btrfs
If you want a performance showdown, there are certainly scenarios that will work for this or that filesystem...
I really do not care. People are 100% happy with ext3 performance (believe it or not).... I just hate the limitations of the filesystem... ext4 still has several of those limitations... btrfs won't have those limitations.
Seriously, why do you even bother testing benchmarks that are not even IO bound? Also, What about compression? Oh, that's right, it's a feature that those other filesystems don't have, and if you did test using it, you'd probably see a pretty decent bandwidth improvement, especially if done on easily compressable data like executables.
What i would have liked to see on a filesystem benchmark is "updatedb"
That should probably show a clear difference between the filesystems.
Please consider adding updatedb to the set of tests in the suite.
looks like the better filesystem lacks much thats better.
I do however belive that a large mysql test would be good.

Paradise on the Mountain
My gardens are mostly perennials, with a mixture of annuals and some decorative planters. I have many plans for more gardens & arrangements, I just need more time & energy. Our home & yard is on the sloped side of a mountain & the soil is very hard & tends to have a lot of rocks in it, making any start to a new gardenscape very time consuming. Which is also why I like to do decorator pot plantings.

The old, conventional wisdom was that a NFL rookie QBs needed a season or two or three to learn the playbook and make the transition from the college to the professional game. But pro teams have sped up the timetable for young signal callers. Eight rookies started at quarterback in the majority of their teams' game the past four seasons. This year, the Cincinnati Bengals are leaning toward making Andy Dalton, their second-round draft pick from TCU, the starter. Cam Newton, last year's Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn, is a strong candidate to be the Carolina Panthers' starting QB on opening day. Let's look at the eight rookie quarterbacks from 2007-10 and what we can learn from their performances: Sam Bradford, 2010, St. Louis Rams Bradford was the first overall pick in the 2010 draft despite missing most of the 2009 season at Oklahoma because of a shoulder injury. But the 2008 Heisman winner proved to be worth the gamble as he was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year last season after throwing for 3,512 yards and 18 touchdowns. He completed 60 percent of his passes, connecting on 354 of 590, was intercepted 15 times and had a 76.5 passer rating. The Rams went 7-9 with Bradford behind center and missed the playoffs by one game when they lost to the Seattle Seahawks in a showdown for the NFC West title in the regular-season finale. The Rams went 10-6 against the spread (ATS), though. Ten of the 16 games went under the total. Jimmy Clausen, 2010, Carolina Panthers The Panthers' second-round draft selection from Notre Dame wound up starting nine games last season after Matt Moore faltered as the starter on a 2-14 team. Clausen had an ugly 3/9 touchdown/interception ratio while completing just 52.5 percent of his passes (157 of 299) for 1,558 yards. His passer rating was 58.4. The Panthers were just 1-9 with Clausen starting and 3-7 ATS, which is why he is in danger of losing his starting job to Newton. Five of those 10games went under the total, three were over and two were pushes. Mark Sanchez, 2009, New York Jets The Jets were criticized for using the fifth overall pick on Sanchez because he started for only one season at USC. However, he led the Jets to the AFC Championship game, where they lost to the Colts at Indianapolis. Sanchez didn't put up great numbers but the Jets were 8-7 when he started and 9-7 overall in the regular season then 2-1 in the playoffs. He was 196 of 364 (53.8) in the regular season for 2,444 yards and 12 touchdowns with 20 picks and a 63.0 passer rating. Including the postseason, the Jets were 10-8 ATS with Sanchez in the starting lineup. The over was 9-8-1 on the total line. Matthew Stafford, 2009, Detroit Lions The Lions used the first overall pick to draft Stafford from Georgia in 2009 but he wasn't an immediate success during a season marred by a separated shoulder. He managed just a 61.0 passer rating while completing only 53.3 percent (201 of 377) of his passes for 2,267 yards while getting picked off 20 times as opposed to throwing for 13 scores. Stafford did lead the Lions to their only two wins, going 2-8 in a season in which they finished 2-14. They were 2-7-1 against the spread in those games and the under was the winning play six of 10 times. Josh Freeman, 2009, Tampa Bay Buccaneers The first-round draft pick from Kansas State was given the starting job after the Buccaneers lost their first seven games with Byron Leftwich and Josh Johnson under center and went 3-6 in his nine starts. Freeman connected on 158 of 290 passes for a 54.5 completion percentage, 1,855 yards and 10 touchdowns while throwing 18 interceptions. He had a 59.8 passer rating. The Buccaneers did go 5-4 against the spread in the games Freeman started and seven of the nine games went under the total. Joe Flacco, 2008, Baltimore Ravens The Ravens installed Flacco as their starter after selecting him in the first round from Delaware and he led them to the AFC Championship Game where they lost to the Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Ravens were 11-5 in the regular season and 2-1 in the postseason as Flacco hit on 60 percent of his passes (257 of 428) for 2,971 yards and 14 touchdowns with 12 interceptions and an 80.3 passer rating. The Ravens had a sparkling 14-5 ATS mark that season. The over was 10-8-1. Matt Ryan, 2008, Atlanta Falcons Ryan led the Falcons to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth after being the third overall selection from Boston College, earning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in the process. Ryan started 16 regular-season games and the postseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and he connected on 61.1 percent of his passes (265 of 434) for 3,440 yards and 16 touchdowns. He was intercepted just 11 times and had a fine 87.7 passer rating. Both the Falcons and the under were 9-8 against the spread. Trent Edwards, 2007, Buffalo Bills Edwards started nine games and the Bills went 5-4, compared to 2-5 with J.P. Losman in the lineup. Edwards, a third-round pick from Stanford, was 151 of 269 (56.1 percent) for 1,630 yards and seven touchdowns with eight interceptions and a passer rating of 70.4. The Bills were 7-2 ATS in Edwards' starts with six of the nine games going under. --- If a quarterback is talented enough to start in the NFL, he is talented enough to be a potential moneymaker. These eight QBs combined to go 60-47-1 against the spread, which works out to +8.3 units. Betting the under is a logical play in games involving inexperienced quarterbacks and that side provided a profit margin of +11.6 units with a record of 60-44-4.

Shouldn't Gallium Core Drive for R600-R800 be changed from TODO to WIP? That is what VMware is working on, right?
And perhaps HDMI Audio for R600/R700 from WIP to Mostly or Done?
Phoronix: R600 Open-Source Driver WIth GLSL, OpenGL 2.0
If Catalyst 9.12 for Linux and its changes didn't deliver on what you wanted for your Christmas wishes, perhaps this change to their open-source driver does deliver on one of your hopes. The ATI R600/700 open-source 3D stack should now be OpenGL 2.0 compatible (compared to OpenGL 1.5 previously) and the GLSL (GL Shading Language) support should be "mostly" completed. AMD's Richard Li recently introduced a commit that enables GL2 and there has been other AMD/ATI 3D work going on too...
Shouldn't Gallium Core Drive for R600-R800 be changed from TODO to WIP? That is what VMware is working on, right?
And perhaps HDMI Audio for R600/R700 from WIP to Mostly or Done?
Then show me a video with gl2benchmark, Zero Ballistics and maybe HoN working with it without problems. Till that happens opengl 2 is only on paper not more.
I don't think it's ready to be used really. But then again it's only enabled in master, let's hope that most of the bugs will be fixed by the time mesa 7.8 is released
This is awesome! I wonder if it can become on par with fglrx If/when it gets the optimizations done, that would be really nice.
Sooo.. just to sum it up: R600+ can choose between radeon and fglrx if they want (useable) 3d accel (--> GLSL) and <=R500 users have to use an old fglrx? Is this correct? *THUMBS UP* to ATi.. definately my last ati/amd board..
AFAIK the VMWare folks are primarily working on (a) the Gallium3D driver for their emulated SVGA hardware, and (b) the non-driver portions of the Gallium3D framework (ie Mesa, Xorg, GL, VG, CL etc... state trackers along with refining the internal APIs).
Corbin (MostAwesomeDude) mentioned that he was starting on a Gallium3D driver for 6xx-8xx but that's all I have heard. Richard is looking forward to working on Gallium3D as well; best guess is that will happen after (a) some testing / fixing on 6xx-7xx GLSL, and (b) getting inital 3D engine support working on Evergreen.
I suspect it's still treated as "WIP" because the first patches are just working their way into the kernel tree now and haven't had much general testing there. It probably is coming up on time to switch to "Mostly" though...
Huh ? Where are you getting that ?
GLSL was enabled in the Gallium3D driver for 3xx-5xx *before* it was enabled in the classic mesa driver for 6xx-7xx. Neither one is ready for general use yet, both are being tested and fixed. Richard enabled GLSL so that application testing could *start* (including making sure that enabling GLSL didn't cause previously working games to break), not because the work was *finished*.
Last edited by bridgman; 12-19-2009 at 12:21 PM.
And where's the work on GLSL and OpenGL 2.0 on Mesa for R300-R500 cards? Is it something about the same level or more/less advanced?
bridgman already answered your question, Xeros. GLSL support for r300-500 cards is in about the same state, or slightly further progressed.

Mine came yesterday...no signature required. So far I love it. A perfect compliment to my note 2 phablet.
mine arrived fri 14th - no signature required. it did not come with the replacement stylus tips, and did not have the stylus tip changing tool...anybody else? The 'manual' is a poor photocopy of the quick start guide - and I have had trouble downloading the PDF from Samsung's site for unknown reasons... screen looked good, a couple very minor scratches, and it was charged to apparently about 80% (from the screen icon). I stopped home just to charge it so I can use it when my work day is done, so that's all I have to report. there is no evidence upon cursory inspection, of gobs of glue from a re-attached screen or other nonsense, as I had seen posted elsewhere... just waiting for my accessories order from Amazon so I can use it while avoiding damage, and get on the go a bit (case, keyboard, car plug, USB reader, longer cable).
I got mine Friday also but no stylus at all.
Mine was supposed to be delivered on Saturday but apparently woot forgot to give fedex my apartment number so I had to call fedex and give it to them... now I won't receive it til tomorrow.

Strange. We haven't had any problems with apartment numbers being omitted. I'll pass it on to the proper group for investigation though. Thanks for letting us know.
Ditto. They said they it just said XXX street Apt but no number
Did anyone else get a tablet with files in S-note? Mine has a lot of folders of files that are locked. I can't delete them. I've tried a factory reset and a hard reset and neither will make them go away!
secretagentjojo wrote:Ditto. They said they it just said XXX street Apt but no number
This is how mine showed up too, just apt. As far as Snote, mine had a bunch of sample folders but I was able to delete them. This is a great tablet, thanks Woot!
I am using my Samsung tablet to post this message. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and really enjoy it. Again WOOT comes through with a fine product and rapid delivery. You guys are too good to us woot addicted customers. Thank you and keep the good deals coming.

Tina M.United StatesHairDark BrownCurly HairNot Worth The MoneyI bought mine in February of 2012 and it died today. It didn't even last 7 months. I had my Chi for 5 years. The reason I went with this one was because I liked the fact it was pretty light weight. Now I am trying to find out how I can get some customer satisfaction and don't you know I can't find a number to Croc for customer service..I would not recommend this product if you use your flat iron everyday and have really thick curly hair. It doesn't measure up to the Chi..

MeganHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairDisappointingI bought a Croc Turboion from Amazon and it stopped heating up after a couple of months. I did an exchange and received a new one and tt lasted a little bit longer than the last one but not by much. It does great on my hair but unless you have another $120 to spend on this straightener every time one stops working, don't even bother.posted May 1, 2012Link to this post
MichelleLove The Croc....when It WorksThe croc works great, if you can keep it working. my hairsytlist recommended it to me. I bought my first on in July 2011 and it quit working in November 2011. I turned it on one day and it only heats up to 69 and then shuts itself off. I thought maybe it was a defective one so being stupid I returned the product and got another one. They were out of stock when my first one was sent back in December 2011 and didn't get my 2nd one until the end of February 2012. Here it is the end of April and I just sent my 2nd flat iron back yesterday, for the same reason. I think I'll go back to the Chi. The last one I had worked for almost 6 years. I feel like I got my money out of that product but I definitly feel like I've thrown it away on this product.posted Apr 24, 2012Link to this post

Drivers? No, they have dozens of bugs to fix in H-L2 itself
You know what's worse than easy to by-pass DRM'd native games on Linux? No games on Linux. I hate even easy DRM too, but this is as good as it gets with mainstream content. I'm am thrilled as wallaby on pure Colombian coke to get TF:2, CS:Source, Killing Floor, and eventually Portal and L4D2. I've even started logging hours into Champions of Regnum (and actually tossed them $10 - this is a free to play MMORPG).
And Steam DRM is a real joke (as said earlier in the thread). It's for my idiot friends who are too dim to learn the location of games on their FS and copy over cracked files and too lazy to take 5 minutes searching Google for said crack/patch. But given a button that says 'Download free game, fuck the devs who put their time into it' they would in a heartbeat. It's difficult for geeks like us to comprehend such people . If I didn't know these people personally, I wouldn't have thought they existed. But they are out there and in very large numbers Shitty for society but great for capitalism :< And now good for Linux!
Drivers? No, they have dozens of bugs to fix in H-L2 itself
i always like to play these games and now they are coming with new see nice .
Im pretty sure a 640×480 3D game resized to 1280×960 will in most cases be rendered faster than the same game in normal 1280×960. I wished Skyrim had such an option when I had to play in a tiny 800×600 window
Now if you meant it makes a performance hit compared to basic fullscreen, probably (if only a tiny performance hit), but when fullscreen mode is unusable thats not really a point.
Well, yeah, 1280x960 is twice the pixels in horizontal and in vertical compared with 640x480 (for a total of 4x pixels ) and scales perfectly, so, yeah not a big deal as performance hit....
...but same won't happen if the native res is 1280x1024....
However, the real problem is that in many games running in 640x480 res you loose too much detail or the game doesn't even allows it as minimum res so you have to use 800x600 or 1024x768 as minimum and then scaling it to 1280x960 and in special to 1280x1024 will have a more noticeable performance hit and also a quality hit.
wrong. YOU don't play 10 year old games.
I do. I bought HalfLife since I never played it as it was never available for Linux.
I've also some other 'old' games (got those before I went to Linux) (Conflict: FreeSpace, Starlancer, Star Trek Armada/Armada II) that are old but just awesome.
It always amazes me how in this forum people (think to) know who i am and what i do....oh well, it's Phoronix
Wrong, i play 10 year old games...Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory for starters....i'm even making a mod for it but won't be available for the public in general for several reasons...only for me and some friends...
....and yes, i play also *25* old games from the Spectrum era
I still have one of those things...and a Amiga 500
I bought Serious Sam 3 on linux.
The grass and the leafs on trees flicker when I move.
So I went to the steam forums, and asked for help.
A developer tried to help me, but to keep this short, its a problem with the catalyst driver.
Now I have posted, on the Amd forums.
I am very happy with Valve. Were would I complain about this without Valve?
AMD promised Valve they would listen.
(first pinned topic)
And about that drm. You can install your games on more then one pc. You just can't play both versions at the same time. And that's without any hacks.
Some of the game studios however add more drm shit, but that's not because of Valve.
Teamfortress 2, I can see the progress happening. It did run well the first time I tried, but now, wow!
Nowadays games routinely use 1024×1024 textures, so I dont think drawing one more polygon with a texture of such a size will affect the framerate as much as you believe it does (maybe someone who uses SDL2 can show us some numbers ). Also, the quality hit should not be different to the quality hit you get when your LCD monitor scales the picture by itself.
Great, another multiplayer FPS for Linux. Two, in fact! If there's one type of game Linux doesn't have enough of, it's multiplayer FPSes.
Yes indeed, the Linux community really needs to stop making singleplayer FPSes, racing games, fighting games and sports sims; and instead focus our attention on the oft-neglected genre of "run around shooting other people in arenas". I mean, nobody EVER gets tired of that.
Sarcasm aside, I had my hopes up when you said "WW2 shooter", and then they were totally dashed when I saw in the description "Multiplayer". Valve, I appreciate the value you've given to Linux gaming, but can you please give us some gaming experiences we can't replicate a hundred times over in open-source? Give us a serious car racing game! Or a flight combat sim. Or a team sport sim. Just write something that we haven't already got on Linux, polish it up to commercial-quality and release it. That would be nice. You'd probably make a decent amount of money, too, as it's not like cheapskates can just play an open-source equivalent like they can with Open Arena, AssaultCube, Tremulous, etc.

My first impression of IPIN was being struck by the courtesy and understanding of the IPIN staff. Something which I thought was reminiscent of a bygone era. IPIN were very professional in the management of my investment.
Waleed N. IPIN member and investor
When I first read about the Secure Exit Strategy, I thought the 25% return too good to be true, but IPIN have proved me wrong, as, I invested in The Flaxby Secure Exit Strategy in October 2009 and exited in June 2010, 9 months later with a whopping 48% return.
Andrew Nicol IPIN member and investor
People at IPIN are not pushy, they are friendly, patient, helpful and easy to reach during and after business hours, when it suits me best. This is what I expect from an advisor. I am planning to further expand my portfolio based on the results achieved by the IPIN team.
Mr. V. IPIN member and investor
As we approach retirement conservative and secure investment programs are the only ones we considered. The IPIN SES program fits our investment goals perfectly and has performed as advertised. Who can argue with a 26% annualised return in the current economic environment?
John and Nancy Howell IPIN members and investors
There were two main aspects that attracted us to this investment; the strength of the commercial proposition itself (the product was eminently marketable) and the extensive security provided by the escrow and other associated legal arrangements.
Mr and Mrs S. Davies IPIN members and investors
After almost two years of working with IPIN, I am convinced this is one of the best wealth-building investment vehicles available.
Larry L IPIN member and investor
Docklands is the second successful SES unit I've bought-into. For me, this still represents the best thing I can do with my money - not only is it secure, but the returns are guaranteed too. Another thing I really like is how the projects to which IPIN apply the SES always seem to be really sound - they're not just good SES investments, they always have a lot going for them as traditional investments.
Mr. M. Green IPIN member and investor
I invested in the Secure Exit Strategy (SES) as an addition to my existing property portfolio. I was very surprised when told that I had been exited within just over 6 months. I was extremely happy with the returns I made and decided to reinvest those returns with IPIN.
Mr Robert D IPIN member and investor
As the first of my investments with IPIN, I was keen to see an early result on one of my units even though I understood I should be prepared for the maximum 36 month term. I was delighted when I received a call to tell me that the first of my units had exited in less than 3 months.
Mr J Donald IPIN member and investor
I invested on September 21st 2009 after some searching questions. I have been kept informed of progress over the whole period and on February 25th 2010 my unit was sold. The strategy has worked extremely well for me and I elected to reinvest into another SES venture using 1,013 GBP of the return plus the original investment.
Mrs. E. Davies IPIN member and investor
When supply is higher than demand in a market, often resulting in lower prices, therefore beneficial to the buyer.

I don't know when MS will support MKV - probably never, knowing how long it took them to do H.264. Besides this is much better than lossy conversion. IMO anyway.yeah but whats the point, you might as well convert it to a format it understands..
cbb until they release native support for most formats..
but nice work doing all this work
Posted 04 April 2009 - 15:40
There is no way to get x264+ac3 working on xbox 360.
There is 3 ways:
1. convert the ac3 to aac stereo and mux to mp4
2. convert the video to mpeg2+ac3.
3. convert the video+audio to WMV
With transcoding set to always and codec set to xvid, mkv2vob will create xbox360 playable files.
but it converts the video not the audio, this will take much longer then AAC conversion.
But with AAC you will only get stereo, with xvid you get to keep the ac3 5.1
Edited by Audioboxer, 04 April 2009 - 15:46.
Posted 06 April 2009 - 14:46
Media Center is independent of the Xbox dashboard. That's why with Vista you couldn't play Xvid in WMC but you could do it in the dashboard. Windows 7 Media Center now supports AVCHD which is H.264 + AC3. I think I was able to play 5.1. I will check that later today.IIRC it is not possible to stream AC3 5.1 or DTS to the 360 if you remux H264 content.
That's from the creators of MKV2VOB and PS3Media Server.
If you want AC3 5.1 I believe you have to transcode. DTS is just not possible full stop - It only works on the PS3 as the creators of the above applications found a way to trick the PS3 into sending the DTS sound track to your receiver untouched, so your receiver is actually decoding it, not the PS3. It's done by confusing the PS3 into thinking the track is 2 channel PCM, but when it actually reaches your receiver, your receiver knows its DTS and not 2.0 PCM.
If the 360 supported LPCM I believe they may have been able to do the same trick, but the 360 doesn't support HD audio.
People need to understand MKV support on either the 360 or PS3 wouldn't really change anything, it's just a container, codec support is what matters most. Containers can easily be changed.
From 3r1c (MKV2VOB)
So it's either/or - You can get 5.1 if you transcode video, but if you remux video you get stereo AAC.
Posted 06 April 2009 - 15:57
Your own screenshots show it downmixing to two channel AC3. (I think, I've never used either of those programs)Media Center is independent of the Xbox dashboard. That's why with Vista you couldn't play Xvid in WMC but you could do it in the dashboard. Windows 7 Media Center now supports AVCHD which is H.264 + AC3. I think I was able to play 5.1. I will check that later today.

- Balance automation and personalization through co-creation. Frequency is a simple personal preference, but it's a preference that is highly important to identify. Take the time to find out each individual's requirements: how, when and where they would like to receive content. Empowering recipients to "co-create" the content they receive encourages them to feel invested in the process, leading to greater engagement. Asking them to determine what is delivered increases the likelihood of them opening an e-mail, confident that it won't be a waste of their time.
- Think mobile. Forty-eight percent of emails are now opened via a mobile device, according to Litmus' September email opens report. That's a greater percentage than on a desktop email client or via webmail, and it's expected to hit 78% by 2017, according to Forrester Research's 2012 report, "Email Marketing Forecast 2012-2017?.Marketers should ask themselves what this tells us about the way in which users are interacting with e-mail. While e-mail browsing on a mobile device may elicit only a cursory glance from a user, it offers marketers an opportunity to reach that user at any time, allowing for targeted content with a much higher chance of being seen within minutes of reception. It also further emphasizes the need for a killer subject line, opening the thread of a story-based narrative that continues through into the body of the e-mail.
- Consider dynamic content (in every sense of the term). With the tools now available to them, marketers should be considering how dynamic content can amplify communications.
