Buick Encore Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
bigliljen Posts: 26Was just at dealership and Encores have just arrived. Took a test drive and I was very pleased. They just received bank residuals and I was quoted upcoming deal:
24 month 10,000 miles
2 yr free maintenance
2 yr free XM
2 yr free On Star
1.5% MF with 67% residual
Haven't done an actual sit down yet...but when I do, I will update.
Happy shopping everyone!0 · -
neilman Posts: 42Vehicle road tested wonderful during the dealer visit, but has been a huge disappointment after taking it home. We already exchanged the vehicle (so we're on our second one) and really appreciate the dealership's cooperation with doing their best to make the situation right for us. Both vehicles have the same problem, in fact the 2nd one is worse and I wish I had kept the 1st one.
While entering and exiting our driveway (with the steering turned left or right) which has a normal drainage dip (water canal) between the road and driveway elevation, there are thumping noises coming from the suspension. Of course as is typical...the problem could not be duplicated at the dealership.
I have driven many many cars on my driveway and never heard this type of noise from any other car. I owned 4 GM cars over a 20 year period through 2009, and finally gave up due to the consistent need to pour money into repairs after about 4 - 5 years of ownership.
I thought things may have improved and gave it another shot, but I guess I was dead wrong. I feel terribly let down and like I made a huge mistake. The classic definition of 'insanity' is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I must be insane for falling for the same mistake over and over.
Luxury ride (except for the cheap thumping noted above) and features, great technology, peppy engine (I drive a 382 hp MB E550), memory seat, rain sensing wipers, beautiful design which my 18 yr old daughter loves (car is for her), great fuel economy, nice Bose sound system.
Cheap thumping noises which feel like the wheels could fly off in an emergency manueuver, engine a bit loud while accelerating with a constant droning noise - but acceptable. This next one may or may not be a bad thing...as I have never previously owned a car made in Korea...but it is assembled in Korea and I wonder if that contributes to the quality problems I am experiencing. I did not know it was made in Korea...and may not have purchased it if I did. The dealership did not seem to know either...as during the negotiations I was told the vehicles were coming from Europe. I did not realize until after the purchase the window sticker shows where the car is made.
I am posting this as I want others to be aware of my experience before making a decision to purchase this vehicle (which is not cheap).0 · -
nrichards Posts: 1I have shared your comments with our engineers and they are interested in more details. Would you be willing to email me last 8 of your VIN and the dealership from whom you purchased the vehicle?

neilman Posts: 42Update:
I am working with GM and the dealer for them to inspect the vehicle next week.
After further testing and observation the drone I described initially is more of a transmission whine. The noise starts when shifting to 'D', and increases or decreases with the level of acceleration. I'm equally concerned about this issue as I am about the popping / thumping noise from the suspension / steering.
A heck of a lot of time has been spent on this process, which has totally sucked the pleasure out of the car buying experience. Of the 10 cars I have purchased (including other GM vehicles) this one is definitely the worst.
During a 9 day period from the time we first road tested the vehicle to the time we returned the original one and got a replacement we made a total of 7 visits to the dealer.
I do appreciate the steps GM and the dealer are taking to assist. We'll see where it all ends up.0 · -
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,202Any news, neilman? Let us know if we can check into this further for you! We can be reached at email@example.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).
Sarah, GM Customer Service0 · -
neilman Posts: 42Today is the 4th day the vehicle has been with the dealer. Looks like it will be another 3 to 4 days before we (maybe) find out what is going on. They suspect the popping noise may be coming from the engine cradle.0 ·
neilman Posts: 42Sorry for the delay in providing an update. Luckily we were able to return the vehicle and get our money back. GM and the dealer were very accommodating and cooperative throughout the process. I would say it was the best service I have experienced from all dealers of various brands I have done business with over many years. They actually put MB, Acura, Lexus to shame.
Too bad...my kids really loved the Encore. Maybe down the road when the bugs have been worked out and the cars are made in the US we'll give it another try.0 · -
bigliljen Posts: 26Hello everyone:
Picked up Premium Encore FWD (automatic) on 6/14/13 from dealer. I did notice when test driving, a slight vibration or "whine" coming from the rear or under the vehicle. I was told it hadn't been prepped yet, and was recently delivered. I went ahead with the lease, and the dealer stated after prepping they test drove it & couldn't hear the sound anymore. I decided to drive the vehicle a couple weeks, thinking it may get better. Unfortunately, I keep hearing it...sounds like its coming from the right rear passenger side, when accelerating from first to second gear, under 30 mph, then abruptly goes away but then sometimes can be heard again in the higher gears. I have contacted the dealership, waiting to hear back about a service date. I adore the vehicle, and everything else has been great. Will post an update.0 · -
bigliljen Posts: 26UPDATE on Noise Issue/Resolved: the BOSE speaker in the passenger rear door panel needed replaced. No noise or other issues, both Buick customer service & dealership were great.0 ·
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,202Hello bigliljen,
I am happy to hear that you were helped through this process. Glad everything is back to proper working order!

I have been considering downgrading from my SRX also, but was waiting for the new mid-size Buick Envision/Anthem that is supposed to come out this fall. Do you have any problems considering the smallness of the Encore and the small engine? These two things would make me ponder for some time before making this switch. Any feedback would be appreciated.

patrice_duffy Posts: 9Hi, for those of you who have bought/leased an Encore: can I pick your brain? I have test drove several crossovers, and I think I'm going to have a hard time choosing. I am traditionally a "small car" person but for various reasons need a safer car that can handles snow (I live in the Northeast. ) I really liked the Encore, alhtough I wish it had more pickup.
My question is thus: Besides the Encore, I have test-driven the Escape, RAV 4,and Jeep Cherokee. Did you, Encore Owner, test drive some of these cars, and if so, what made you choose the Encore? Any regrets?
Thanks!0 · -
bwia Boston Posts: 1,351No regrets and only positive things to say about the Encore. Among the more frequent compliments we receive is "cute."
My daughter has a black on black 2014 Escape Titanium and it feels and drives great. My other daughter just bought a 2015 Acura RDX (non-tech package). By comparison the RDX is a little cramped, however, the steering is responsive but the ride is taut and not as quiet.
On the other hand our 2014 Encore with Leather package and AWD is just right. It feels roomier inside than the RDX and the interior is extremely quiet. Since we do mostly city and suburban driving the low-end torque is more than adequate and actually fun to drive. Surprisingly, the Encore feels very spirited under all driving conditions.
We also live in the snow belt (Boston) that's why we opted for the AWD--no snow yet since bought in July.
As to the other vehicles you mentioned, I have no experience with them but I would also throw in the milieu the Nissan Rogue and the Hyundai Tucson. In the end buy what you like and can afford.5 · -
patrice_duffy Posts: 9Thanks bwia. I decided this morning to go ahead and pursue the Encore premium. I live in Boston too, so perhaps our two Encores will pass on the crazy, cramped streets of Beantown.0 ·

2099 Posts: 62Hi, we are looking at a 2014/2015 Encore. Leaning toward the 2015 because I think I read somewhere that it is better to lease the "newest" car. We like it and would like to know the money factor and residual for a 24/36 lease with 10k/12k miles/year. Also are there any current incentives in November or coming up in December? We are looking at a middle of the line model. Thank you very much for any info.0 ·

2099 Posts: 62Hi, Thanks for your previous info. Just signed the lease today for a 2015 Encore Premium FWD. 2yr. 10K. Had a GM Supplier discount (saved us $1190 off sticker) and $1500 Lease cash and $500 Farm Bureau cash. When I asked they produced "lease sheet" showing 1.8% and 62% residua (seems like a high residual). Am also getting a $400 Costco gift card. Won't get the car for a week or so as they have to get it from 200 miles away..you can't order the chrome wheels anymore ("sold out" for the model year???) so they had to find one for us.0 ·

(part 2)
Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set. Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player's actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player's "real" autograph. Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets. Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers. Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement. |
1952,1953,1954,1955 Red Man TOBACCORed Man Tobacco issued baseball cards in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955, making them the only tobacco company to do so since 1920. The cards are very attractive with a large, painted portrait and a short player's bio on the front. On the back is company advertising. 1/2" tabs at the bottom of each card could be exchanged for a prize. The exchange rate was 50 tabs for one free Big League style baseball cap. Thus, cards with the tabs still intact are much, much, harder to find making them more valuable.Without the tabs it is difficult to determine which year certain players were issued. It is usually easiest to determine the year by looking at the expiration date on the back. Subtract 1 from the expiration year to determine the year of the card. Each set is made up of 25 players from each league all personally selected by Editor J.G. Taylor Spink of the "Sporting News". Managers from each league were included in the 1952 and 1953 sets. The 1954 set had four different variations. If you ignore the many variations of the expiration dates, that brings the total to only 208 cards to complete your Master Red Man Tobacco Baseball Card Set !!! Start collecting now !

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set. The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

Whoever said you can't go home again certainly didn't have the 2013 NFL schedule in mind. We found ten star players who will have some pretty serious reunion games on their docket this season. Fans may want to check these matchups off on their calendars too.
Elvis Dumervil returns to the building
Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos
September 5, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC
The Pro Bowl pass rusher's fax faux pas in re-signing with Denver made him a free agent and landed him in Baltimore. Now he returns to Sports Authority Field with the opposition for a rematch of last season's AFC Divisional thriller.
Steven Jackson tries to run over the Rams
St. Louis Rams at Atlanta Falcons
September 15, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
The Rams' franchise leading rusher gets his chance to compete for a contender. How punishing will he be against his former teammates in Week 2?
Wes Welker sees familiar faces at Gillette Stadium
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
November 24, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC
After bitter contract negotiations led to the end of his tenure in New England, Welker says he's feeling like a rookie heading into his first year with the Broncos.
Mike Wallace returns to Heinz Field
Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers
December 8, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
The Steelers couldn't afford to keep the speedy receiver and fellow pass catcher Antonio Brown, who they signed to a longterm deal prior to the 2012 season. If Wallace plans to prove he's worth the $12 million a year he got from the Dolphins, this would be a good game to state his case.
Dashon Goldson goes coast to coast
San Francisco 49ers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
December 15, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
The two-time Pro Bowl safety is the biggest loss from San Francisco's NFC title winning team. He'll try to cover his former mates (and new acquisition Anquan Boldin) when they come to Florida in Week 15.
Two rumored deals that are said to be in the works need to happen for these games to qualify, but they could both set up quite nicely if the respective GM's pull the trigger.
Revis Island floats back to the Meadowlands
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New York Jets
September 8, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Whether he stays with the Jets or gets dealt to Tampa Bay, Darrelle Revis looks to be kicking off the season at MetLife Stadium. If he's wearing orange, the reception will likely be a lot less friendly.
James Harrison takes his anger out on the Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
September 16, 8:40 p.m. ET, ESPN
The ferocious linebacker was cut in a salary dump after he refused to take a salary cut. After he reconsidered following his release, the Steelers told him they still weren't interested. If Harrison ends up finalizing a rumored deal with the Bengals, he'll get two chances to get over the slight, the first taking place in Cincinnati.

Bobby and Brett Hull
Die-hard fans can easily recite the names of sports' greatest father-son combos, including baseball's Griffeys and Bondses, basketball's Barrys and Hills and football's Mannings, to name a few.
But none of pairings quite reach the level of hockey's Bobby and Brett Hull.
Brett's 2009 Hockey Hall of Fame induction made "The Golden Jet" and "The Golden Brett" just the second father-son player combo to receive that honor across the four major pro sports (after fellow NHL legends Lester and Lynn Patrick.)
Also the only father-son MVP winners in any sport, the Hulls each won Stanley Cup titles, Bobby in 1961 (Chicago Blackhawks) and Brett in 1999 (Dallas Stars) and 2002 (Detroit Red Wings.)
When Brett began his career, few expected he would approach his father's 16-season career goals total of 610. Brett, however, would go on to score 741 regular season goals, good for third all-time in the NHL, before retiring in 2005.

From time to time I become a flexitarian goddess and cook with organic, free-range turkey, beef or buffalo. I chose organic free range turkey for the protein in this family style layered dish, but organic free-range chicken or beef, or even gluten-free tempeh would also work beautifully.
You're my kind of people.
You can handle it.
Cozy Autumn Rice Bake Recipe
3 cups cooked brown rice
2 pounds organic free-range ground turkey
1 onion, peeled, roughly chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green or yellow bell pepper, cored, sliced
2 cups Baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
Italian dried herbs, to taste- basil, oregano, thyme, fennel, rosemary
A dash of nutmeg
A dash of any hot spice you like- red pepper, paprika, cumin, etc.
1 14-0z can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup whole cranberries (frozen, thawed are fine)
1/2 cup chopped kalamata black olives
2 tablespoons rinsed capers
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
A splash of good extra virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly oil a large lasagna-style baking dish. Mine is 10x15-inches.

"Is it a story it is it today's news?"
Amazing that I can listen to this book then I'm listening to the radio and have to pause to remember if it is a book or the news. The reality of what Joel brings forth is what can be happening today in the news. This is a GREAT book. In fact, the entire series is tremendous!
"Thought provoking book"
An abstract book that is a great though-provoking book. Easy book to get lost in. The previous book in the series is not necessary, but I would recommend "reading" that before "reading" this one.
"Hang in there, the book gets really good"
It took me a while to get the flow of the book with the amount of characters being introduced and the concept of what the book was about. Once I wraped my arms around these, I loved the book.
"Great story"
Great book giving a lot of detailed information about the behind the scenes. Author did a great job of keeping multiple story lines going in parallel.
"Another great story from Robert Whitlow"
Great stories by Robert help us raise our faith and belief that God is still speaking to his people today
"Great Story ... stretch your faith"
Hey, if you are a believer, this is a great story to raise your faith and belief that God is still at work and speaks to his people
"Great Story!"
Great story that captures your attention
This was a great book. Warning, it is a Christian book with Biblical themes. Don't get this book and complain about the Christian themes in it. For those of you who are believers, this book challenges your faith to believe if what God can speak, reveal and do ... yes, even today.
"Great book, fun"
If you like Colombo, this books is for you. Great story. It does have a Christian theme so don't download this book and complain about that. It brings a nice mix of the need for salvation and the things that typically trip people up. Great suspense and surprise. Enjoy the listen
"Great book ... worth the listening to"
Great book that lays out a good perspective of what could happen. OK for the naysayers it is a book from a Christian perspective, if you don't appreciate a book of this sort, don't buy and don't write negative comments. If you want a good political book with the theme of Christianity throughout, this is a book for you
"Edge of your seat great book"
Fantastic book, jumps you right into the book from the beginning and holds you right to the end. It was also easy to follow though it is book 5 in the series and I read it first. Highly recommended!!

In Your Ear
I'm proud to be part of what she's doing, because the first episodes have been good, solid work. Marilyn is also writing for her, so I'm in heady company.
By the way, Brenda's "half episode," number 1.5, is a simple, poetic description of a rare snow day in her valley* in Wales. It's as beautiful a recorded piece as I've ever heard, on par with any NPR commentary, and it's matched perfectly with Alison Crowe's gentle, soulful take on "In the Bleak Midwinter." Give yourself a holiday present and check it out.
You don't have to have an iPod, or even an mp3 player, to tune in. If you visit the Web site and click on the "Listen to..." links for each episode, most Internet browsers will download the file and start playing it right over your computer.
Bring In Da Noise
I recorded my essay at home, on my Mac, using a little Logitech microphone I bought at the Apple store on Michigan Avenue even though the salespeople didn't really seem to want to sell it to me. I love Macs, but I hate the sales staff at that store. If you're not buying an iPod or a complete G5 set-up, or don't look sufficiently cool (i.e., you have washed your hair that week) they simply don't want to speak to you.
I once needed a new copy of Photoshop - a program that runs many hundreds of dollars - but had a question about the version on the shelf. Before I could get anybody's attention I had to stand in the middle of the sales floor and shout "Attention: I'm looking to spend a whole lot of money right now!"
But I got my microphone, and I plugged it into my beloved little iMac and prepared myself to emote, and elocute, and enunciate. My desk faces a window wall that looks out on Lake Michigan. Light snow was falling, and lights in the neighboring apartment buildings were beginning to glow. All was hushed. Perfect.
I took a breath, and clicked "record."
"It is a truth," I said. And then one of my neighbors, whose car horn plays "La Cucaracha," decided to announce his arrival at home in song. Four times.
"It is a truth universally-"
And the Irving Park bus ran into a parked car directly in front of my building. Screeeeeeee! Wham! Crunch! Yelling. The evening commute honked its collective displeasure for ten minutes.
"It is-"
Fire alarm in the building next door. Four engines (I counted), a ladder truck, an ambulance, and two police cars with sirens wailing. Twenty minutes.
Darkness had fallen.
Erase. Click.
American Airlines Flight 345 from Frostbite Falls International passed by on its way to O'Hare. I waved to the pilot, who waved back.
Erase. Click.
On this attempt, I made it to the last 20 seconds of the piece and then my phone, which I had put into "silent" mode, started playing music at full volume to announce a new voice message. (Apparently the design geniuses at Samsung assume that when you tell the phone to be silent, you don't mean completely silent.)
Erase erase erase erase.
I decided that the next take would be the final take, even if the apartment suffered an invasion of angry chickens or the people upstairs decided to throw a rhumba party or the gigantic chow down the hall finally decided to answer my prayers and noisily devour the guy who owns him.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged..."
I read through the entire piece in one shot with style, with grace, with magnificent diction and flawless timing. The city held its collective breath, waiting until the final full stop.
And then I realized I'd forgotten to click "record."
*Does everybody in Wales live in a valley? All the people I ever recall hearing about who live in Wales live in valleys, usually green ones. There are plenty of them, I'm sure, but the presence of so many valleys suggests a proximity to hills. Are the hilltops totally inhospitable? Or merely unfashionable?

The hills in Wales tend to be very steep and have more of a peak than a top. And the weather can be somewhat unpleasant, so any shelter is welcome.
(The entire west coast of Britain specialises in a very fine rain that never really falls but hangs around in the air for weeks, and soaks one to the skin in seconds. In Scotland it is called Scotch Mist, in Cornwall Cornish Fog, and it probably also has a Welsh name that I don't know. Woolly jumpers are the best defence, since the prevailing gales make umbrellas useless, even if the stuff were obeying the laws of gravity). - 12:13 PM

Further to Vivienne's comments, the sheep live in the hills. Lots of sheep.

Another further to vivienne's comments: What ever the Welsh name is, it's probably 20 letters long, and has one vowel.

Frank previewed the piece for me after he recorded it (he was done fuming over the cell phone, which I have OFFERED TO FIX (not-so-sublte-hint)) and its quite funny, I laughed out loud several times. The first recording is always the toughest, but this one will be hard to beat. Enjoy!

Yes, Wales is all valleys, except where it is hills or mountains. I don't think they have any plains. But they do have sheep and sheep and sheep. And some rivers. I climbed partway up one of the "hills", up which the lovely parks department people had built a lovely shallow stone stairway - not those calf-breaking 15" steps like in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, but nice sedate little steps. But still, after a few hundred of them, I was whacked and had to give it up. They do prevent erosion very effectively.

The sheep live on the hills. Mostly people don't live on the hills (if at all significant) in the Uk, but nestle in the valleys. Much snugger when the wind blows, but as Vivienne suggests, no protection frojm that wetting mizzle.

What an affectionate dog (often a puppy) does to a person or sometimes another dog they like. A chibble is done with front teeth and is very quick in motion. It is not biting because the mouth does not open wide and it is not a form of aggression. Chibbling is the series of chibbles. Sometimes a chibble can pinch so it is important to know the. Dog is showing affection not trying to injure.
When a puupy sees a person she/he loves the dog shows love by chibbling on the human's skin or clothes.

Founded in 1949 by a hard-working Ukrainian immigrant named Bernard Gantmacher, GANT built its sterling reputation by revolutionizing the men's dress shirt. Double pleats, locker loops, and other functional features helped the company distinguish its products from those of competing clothing brands and become one of the nation's leading shirt makers. In the 1960s and 1970s GANT popularized casual American sportswear with the Rugger — a striped cotton rugby shirt featuring unbreakable, tackle-proof rubber buttons — as well as trendy madras shirts and stylish chinos. Today GANT is known for its Ivy League-inspired wardrobe essentials — think checkered oxford shirts, snappy blazers, and cozy-but-cool pullover sweaters for men, and slightly mod fitted jackets, elegant pencil skirts, and striped dresses for women. In 2009, GANT teamed up with preppy-eclectic New York designer Michael Bastian to create Gant by Michael Bastian: a European-influenced collection of classic clothes, watches, sunglasses, and other accessories inspired by lacrosse, cross-country skiing, and baseball. Other GANT lines include GANT Rugger (denim and sportswear), Kids, Footwear, and Eyewear.

As to features, on window$ 7 a new video driver installs and starts running without having to reboot or re-login. I wonder how window$ 7 achieved that and if Wayland is planning such a feature as well?
Phoronix: Wayland Support For Pinging, Fading Clients
Patches were published today that introduce pinging support for Wayland clients, in an attempt to determine if a client is dead or alive. Should a client not respond to the ping request, the Wayland client's surface is faded-out...
As to features, on window$ 7 a new video driver installs and starts running without having to reboot or re-login. I wonder how window$ 7 achieved that and if Wayland is planning such a feature as well?
This is unrelated to Wayland, as far as I know. In Windows, this is thanks to the Windows Display Driver Model that was introduced in Vista. The Linux equivalent is Direct Rendering Infrastructure 2 (DRI2). As far as I know this is possible in Linux as well simply by swapping out the user space part of the video driver. But the kernel interfaces change so frequently that it won't work for long if you upgrade your kernel, as far as I know. But this would only work with the open source drivers. The proprietary drivers implement their own kernel bits.
When Microsoft says "we have this new video driver interface", Nvidia and AMD answer "OK we'll rebuild our driver for that" before MS can finish they sentence. When the kernel devs say "we have this new video driver interface" Nvidia and AMD answer "no" before the devs have finished. That's the privilege of having 99% market share.
Also, it seems the ping design needs some changing:
<soreau> hmm, I wonder if it might be better to only do one ping at a time instead of pinging the client on every input event
<soreau> i.e. wait for the client to respond before sending another ping
<fredrikh> soreau: maybe rate limit it as well
<soreau> fredrikh: wouldn't only issuing one ping at a time automatically rate limit it?
<soreau> oh I see what you're saying.. just don't have a timeout
<soreau> well, still would need a max timeout
<soreau> I would have to rethink it a bit
<krh> soreau: yeah, only having one outstanding ping at a time makes sense
<krh> and should make the code simpler too
<soreau> yea it probably should just have a single timer on shell_surface instead of a list I guess
<krh> soreau: yup
Hardly. Microsoft actively engaged the hardware manufacturers, and the design and implementation of WDDM and the creation of the new drivers was a years-long process that involved a good deal of back-and-forth. The same is true for the Direct3D releases.
The FOSS community does not engage with the hardware manufacturers as much; one can of course easily argue that this is the hardware manufacturers' faults.
The Linux kernel community actively opposes the kinds of the things that WDDM does, as Windows NT is a hybrid micro-kernel design which WDDM takes full advantage of. It allows the entire driver (kernel portion too) to be removed, installed, or upgraded on a running system. It even allows the kernel portion to crash and be restarted, which happens more often than one would like (even on Linux; the video drivers cause an awful lot of kernel oopses compared to other drivers).
DRI2 is not equivalent to WDDM. There are no direct parallels. The Windows graphics stack is very different from the Linux stack, and there is not any kind of one-to-one mapping between Windows and Linux graphics modules.The Linux equivalent is Direct Rendering Infrastructure 2 (DRI2). As far as I know this is possible in Linux as well simply by swapping out the user space part of the video driver.
Also note that swapping the driver is not possible on Linux the way it is on Windows, due to the way that the interfaces currently work. Swapping drivers requires the ability to notify an application that its entire graphics context has just been destroyed from underneath of it and that the application must recreate it. X11/GLX is not capable of this at all (well, it is, but only in a very non-ideal manner). Wayland may include the necessary protocol for it; unsure.
I imagine Wayland will support it though, as this is related to the ability to switch GPUs at runtime, which even Windows still does in a less-than-ideal way. There are several ways of handling dual-GPU set ups. The first involves each application binding to a specific GPU at startup, and disabling that GPU requires closing any applications using it, and both GPUs can be active at once (e.g., Optimus). A second way is to have one GPU active a time and to require all apps to be on one or the other, but this means that the whole system can be locked in low/high mode if any app has a hardware-accelerated graphics context handle. Another way to do it is to have a software driver that fully abstracts the underlying hardware, which means it does CPU-side resource management and disables all hardware-specific GL extensions. One more way is to simply tell applications that the hardware is about to go away and to deal with it, maybe giving them option to request a stay of execution (games in particular would likely just shut down if you unplugged a laptop and the OS tried to force a switch to an integrated GPU that lacked the necessary feature support the game relies on).
It's really annoying in Windows though when your browser blocks the machine from switching GPUs (since they all use Direct2D these days) and you have to restart Chrome/Firefox/IE after plugging/unplugging your laptop (if your machine's particular implementation of dual-graphics does that). On the other hand, the app-specific Optimus method is also annoying, because it means that the user is constantly having to toggle application profiles, especially again with the browsers if you want to switch between the browser using the low-power GPU and being able to play some of the new HTML5/NaCl 3D games that require the high-end GPU to run nicely.
A better API would ideally let applications pick the GPU they want using flags like GPU_LOWEST_POWER or GPU_FASTEST or such. Browsers could even pick based on page content, so that the accelerated rendering context can prefer a low-power GPU while a page using WebGL or GL|ES in NaCl can use the fast GPU (assuming the hardware allows both to be active simultaneously). The protocol would also be able to notify apps that the system wants to switch its graphics context and allow it to respond with a yay or nay. The system can then notify the user which application if any blocked the switch so that the user can decide if they want to keep using a particular GPU or restart the application.
anyone knows whats the current situation (or at least what will be when it hits 1.0) with multiGPU gpu switching etc??
I would like to be able to switch GPU's at runtime very much.
Also be sure to make things so that I can still move, maximize and minimize the window of the buzzy / unresponsive / hanging application.
I wouldn't want it to get in the way of other things and wasting screen space.
I like your line of reasoning.
In many applications it would be nice if things could be restarted if the drivers crash or all the graphic stuff gets removed under it.

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia with French President Francois Hollande, who went to the desert kingdom in early November for talks about Syria and Iran. / Saudi Press Agency/AP
Saudi Arabia has sent death-row inmates from several nations to fight against the Syrian government in exchange for commuting their sentences, the Assyrian International News Agency reports.
Citing what it calls a "top secret memo" in April from the Ministry of Interior, AINA says the Saudi offered 1,239 inmates a pardon and a monthly stipend for their families, which were were allowed to stay in the Sunni Arab kingdom. Syrian President Bashar Assad is an Alawite, a minority Shiite sect.
According to an English translation of the memo, besides Saudis, the prisoners included Afghans, Egyptians, Iraqis, Jordanians, Kuwaitis, Pakistanis, Palestinians, Somalis, Sudanese, Syrians and Yemenis. All faced "execution by sword" for murder, rape or drug smuggling.
Russia, which has backed Assad, objected to the bargain and allegedly threatened to bring the issue to the United Nations, said an unidentified former Iraqi member of Parliament who confirmed the memo's authenticity, says AINA, an independent outlet.
"Initially Saudi Arabia denied the existence of this program. But the testimony of the released prisoners forced the Saudi government to admit, in private circles, its existence," AINA writes. "The Saudis agreed to stop their clandestine activities and work towards finding a political solution on condition that knowledge of this program would not be made public."
AINA also published the original Arabic memo.
The report mentions that most of the 23 Iraqi prisoners returned home, as did an unspecified number of Yemenis. But AINA does not indicate the fates of the remaining inmates or how many may have been killed, wounded or captured.
Assyrians, the builders of Mesopotamian civilizations, are a semitic people indigenous to northern Iraq. They are ethnically distinct from Arabs and Jews, and are generally Christians. Assyria dominated the Middle East in the first millennium BCE.

I have used this product for over a year and continue going back to it because it is so easy to use and the colors look great on it. The template provides a detailed explanation when first using it and creating graphics and typing information on it is easy.
This review is from AVERY Note Card - Tall, 2 per sheet:
This is absolutely the hardest software I have ever tried to work with. The templates are completely worthless. Finally got so frustrated after many attempts to correct problems that I gave up on using the whole thing. Cannot recommend Avery templates (the not so eay to use). The card stock is great quality but can't get past the hard to use templates.
This review is from AVERY Note Card - Tall, 2 per sheet:
Margins off. No good instructions. For example, I found out the "back" actually means "inside" of the card. Could not print to save my life. Gave up after a few hours.
This review is from AVERY Note Card - Tall, 2 per sheet:
I attempted to make cards on three different occassions. I was somewhat successful the first time-but the next two times not at all. I have no idea how to save the files so I can recall them. The answer I received from the help desk was, "it will always ask you how to save the file." That was no help. The third time I tried to print a card there were no helps available.
This review is from AVERY Note Card - Tall, 2 per sheet:
This template worked great for a casual user. I am not a professional in the arts or graphic arts world, so I just needed a basic template for notecards. I use an HP deskjet printer with Word. Downloading the template was easy and the tips for using were very helpful. I ran a test on a blank sheet which was successful, so I tried it on the notecards. I could not be happier with the results. It is exactly what I needed.

Shipsterns Bluff, Tasmania
Two hours outside of the Tasmanian capital of Hobart, there exists a wave of unusual size and girth. Known as Shipstern Bluff, it's a deformed, fanged mutant of a wave. It's remote, shark-infested and breaks on a practically dry reef, making getting slammed to the bottom an ever-present threat. But for some inexplicable reason, surfers, like "Hell and High Water" star Ryan Hipwood, think it is actually fun to ride.


text: The maximum PCI bar size is 256 MB and is is further limited to the size of the BAR on the device. Thus the largest framebuffer you can map and access from the CPU is the maximum BAR size on your device (256 MB or less). The rest of the vram is accessible by the GPU only. As such it's possible to store things in the non-CPU accessible region, it just get complicated to access if you need to get to the data from the CPU.

Golden Eagles win fourth straight title
Feather Publishing 4/28/2010The Feather River College baseball team won its fourth consecutive Golden Valley Conference championship after sweeping Lassen College and College of the Redwoods April 16-18.
The Golden Eagles went on to sweep Butte College Friday and Saturday, April 23-24. This improved FRC to 30-4 on the season and 22-1 in conference.
The Golden Eagles open the California state playoffs at home Friday, May 7, as they host the regional tournament for the fourth consecutive season. The tournament is a best 2-of-3 series against an opponent to be determined Sunday, May 2.
Butte sweep
Last Friday, the Golden Eagles traveled down to Butte College for a GVC baseball game and a football score broke out, as the Golden Eagles won 22-14 in twelve innings.
Offensively, the Golden Eagles pounded out 29 hits, as the top four hitters in the order combined for 19 hits.
Sophomore Thomas McCarthy led FRC with a 6-for-9 performance and five RBIs.
The Golden Eagles put up eight runs in the first inning, but Butte battled back to take an 11-9 lead heading into the seventh.
The Golden Eagles struck for five runs in the seventh and eighth innings to take a 14-11 lead, only to watch the Roadrunners score three in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game.
Both teams went scoreless the next three innings, before the Golden Eagles struck for eight runs in the top of the 12th inning.
The big hit of the inning was a grand slam by freshman Dayton Alexander to left-center field. Alexander was 5-for-7 with 6 RBIs in the game.
Fellow freshmen Victor Mendoza and Kyle Stone each added four hits apiece.
On the mound, the Golden Eagles struggled to find any consistency, as they walked 10 hitters and hit two Roadrunners. Sophomore reliever Tony Robinson picked up his third victory of the season.
Saturday, the Golden Eagles used good pitching to stifle the Butte offense on their way to a 15-2 victory.
Freshman lefty Rob Cooper picked up his seventh victory of the season by going six innings and allowing six hits, two runs and one earned run, while striking out two.
Sophomore Dylan Giesler pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth innings, and freshman Cody Anderson pitched a scoreless ninth, with two strikeouts.

Redwoods sweep
The Golden Eagles traveled to Shasta College in Redding Sunday to take on College of the Redwoods in a make-up doubleheader.
FRC was the visiting team in both games. In game one, the Golden Eagles broke open a scoreless contest by scoring eight runs in the fifth inning. Feather River went on to win 16-2.
The big blast in the fifth inning was from freshman Jaret Bogue, as he smacked a grand slam over the right field fence.
The Golden Eagles' offense ended game one with 15 hits, led by freshman Kyle Stone and sophomore Thomas McCarthy. They each went 3-for-4 in the game.
Freshman Rob Cooper picked up his sixth victory of the season on the mound, as he went five innings, gave up five hits, two runs and struck out two.
Sophomore Joey Webb pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh for the save and the conference-clinching victory.
In game two, the Golden Eagles put up 17 runs in the third inning on their way to the 20-1 victory over Redwoods.
The Golden Eagles batted around three times and hit three home runs in the inning.
Freshman AJ Alexander got the homer party started as he hit a two-strike, three-run bomb to left center field.
Sophomore Thomas McCarthy followed that up later in the inning with his own three-run homer over center field, and freshman Victor Mendoza made it back-to-back home runs with a HR to right field.
The Golden Eagles offense pounded out 22 hits, as 12 different players had a hit.
Freshmen Brett Wise, Patrick Wilhelm-Ioane and Bryce Gerhardt led the Golden Eagles with three hits each.
On the mound, the Golden Eagles used a trio of pitchers to shut down the Corsairs. Freshman Chris Mueller started and went the first three innings to pick up the victory, as he struck out four.

Star Trek continues to tease us....
Now that the Big Game is over. We geeks, fanboys, Trekkies, and die hards can really savor all the new trailers. We saw some new footage on Super Bowl Sunday. We even got a an extended joke for one of the trailers. All in all it was a good Super Sunday of for us fanboys. The hard part now is the wait. Fear not as May is less than five months away. We have Top Gun 3D, Evil Dead, Jurassic Park 3D, and a few others to hold us over.
Check out the slew of new trailers below. We want to hear it Maniacs, was it worth all the money they spent?
THE LONE RANGER - Game Day Commercial
OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL – Game Day Commercial
Iron Man 3 – Game Day Commercial
Iron Man 3 – Facebook Extended Look
Fast & Furious 6 Official Super Bowl Spot
Star Trek Into Darkness - Full Super Bowl Spot
World War Z- Super Bowl Spot
God of War Ascension Super Bowl 2013 TV Commercial (Video Game)
SNITCH - Super Bowl Spot "How Far?"
Cumberpatch (or however you spell it) may not be Khan, but after that little comment, I'd bet my last dollar he IS a genetic augment.
Look at all those great commercials you saw. And all you had to do was sit through a football game to see them.
I smell a 200 million opening weekend for Iron Man 3.
I smell a flop in World War Z.
I agree with that it looks stupid and would include The Lone Ranger in the flop category I smell another John Carter level bomb with that one.
LOL, Karas! Well for those who weren't interested in the game and Bowl fanfare, The Internets allows you to not only see the movie commericals but any other talked about ads, too.
IM extended look made me LOL at the beginning. I thought he was going to stare at the camera for all 90 seconds.
IM is going to be a beast. I'll be mildly surprised if it hits 200mil though opening weekend. People are too quick to forget that the Avengers was a very special event.

Since there aren't "many answers" here yet, I guess you can check that best on the coreboot and flashrom lists. Iirc sometimes it was noted when a vendor had actively supported this.
Still, in any case it depends a lot on the chips used, CPU, chipset, built in NICs and GPUs and stuff. Also, of course the EEPROM chips need to be working with flashrom and this in an info which is not easy to receive. Sometimes asking the vendor helps since the flash chip type is rarely to find in official specs and it might even change during a series of mainboards.

NadiaWhich Comes First?I just bought this, along with the Chi Infra Treatment and Chi Silk Infusion. After I wash my hair, do I put the Chi Silk Infusion first or the Chi Straight Guard (I let air dry and then straighten)? Do they both make your hair straight all day AND provide heat protectant?Reply to this postNov 8, 2010Link to this post

HEAT oven to 350ºF.
PREPARE cake batter as directed on package. Blend in drink mix; spoon into 24 lined muffin cups. Bake 20 to 25 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean; cool completely. Meanwhile, spread 1 tsp. melted chocolate onto each graham square to completely cover top; place on baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
REMOVE liners from cupcakes; place cupcakes upside-down on plate. Use wooden spoon handle to poke deep hole in center of each cupcake. Spoon COOL WHIP into resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner from bottom of bag; pipe COOL WHIP into holes and onto tops of cupcakes, reserving small amount of COOL WHIP for later use. Top cupcakes with grahams, chocolate-sides up, to resemble graduation caps.
USE fruit rolls to make tassels for caps. (See Tip.) Add 1 tassel and jelly bean to top of each graham square, securing each with dab of remaining COOL WHIP. Keep refrigerated.
