Indians have become one of baseball's leading discount shoppers
Blog Entry:
February 11, 2013 1:13 PM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
The Indians signing a veteran to a minor-league contract isn't a new tactic.
For a team with a payroll that
likely won't reach $75 million
, bringing a former big-league standout to camp can be smart business.
The contract, unless stated otherwise, only becomes guaranteed if the player makes the opening-day roster, and even then it often isn't for much more than $1 million.
For the player, it's a chance to revive his career, with incentives that could make his salary much more lucrative.
For the team, it's a cheap spring training body — and the small chance one or two of the veterans will pay dividends.
The Tribe, however, took the "Let's Bring In Washed-Up Player X" method to a completely new level over the weekend.
They signed to minor-league deals two players who once cost their former teams more than $100 million.
Talk about a back-to-back.
Jason Giambi on Saturday.
Daisuke Matsuzaka on Sunday.
Apparently, Mike Hampton wasn't available.
The Plain Dealer
Giambi, 42, would earn a $750,000 base salary if he made the Indians. Matsuzaka, 32, would get $1.5 million, with incentives that could push his 2013 earnings to $4 million.
You probably already know Dice-K had Tommy John surgery in 2011 and was awful for the Red Sox last season (1-8 with an 8.28 ERA).
You're also likely aware Giambi hasn't been very effective the last few years and his career will forever be tarnished
by his admission that he used steroids
What you might not recall is Giambi and Matsuzaka cost the Yankees and Red Sox, respectively, a combined $223.1 million.
Giambi signed a seven-year, $120 million deal with the Bronx Bombers in December 2001. Five years later, Dice-K agreed to a six-year, $52 million contract, a move that cost the Red Sox an additional $51.1 million in negotiating rights from the Seibu Lions of the Japanese league.
Now, one is a candidate to be in the mix for the Indians at designated hitter, and the other hopes to be their fourth or fifth starter.
We should probably mention that Giambi has batted .226 with 196 strikeouts in 689 at-bats since 2009. In that same span, Dice-K is 17-22 with a 5.53 ERA and 4.5 walks per nine innings.
They are a combined 74 years old.
One has 429 career home runs.
The other was lights-out for the Seibu Lions in 1999 — at the age of 18.
Their chances of helping the Indians in 2013 are similar to the odds of Travis Hafner playing 140 games for the Yankees.
The three players who were signed to minor-deals by the Indians prior to 2012 who made the biggest impact were Jeremy Accardo, Jose Lopez and Dan Wheeler. And by impact, we mean they played.
The year before, the Indians' best veteran-turned-non-risk-signing was Jack Hannahan, a solid defensive third baseman who didn't provide any pop at a corner infield position (a combined 12 homers and 69 RBI in two seasons).
Giambi and Matsuzaka aren't the only big-name veterans on minor-league deals on the Indians' spring roster.
The camp in Goodyear, Ariz. also features Scott Kazmir, who won 10 games with Tampa Bay at age 21 in 2005, and Matt Capps, who had 42 saves in 2010.
Those two would seem to have a much better chance to make an impact in 2013 than Giambi and Matsuzaka.
Kazmir is only 29, though he hasn't been good since 2008. Capps is the same age, and has had much more recent success.
They, too, are no-risk signings for a team that is probably hoping just one turns out well.
My money is on Capps.
Regardless of how this ends, the Indians will have a difficult time matching the Giambi-Matsuzaka weekend parlay next January and February, when they are filling out their spring training roster.
Maybe by then the Yankees will have found a way out of Alex Rodriguez's contract.

Pike Queen Lucy (アザミ Azami) | |
[[File:|125px]] | |
General | |
Hometown: | Unknown |
Region: | Hoenn
Friends: | Unknown |
Class: | Pike Queen |
First Appearance: | Pokémon Emerald |
Pike Queen Lucy (Japanese: チューブクイーン アザミ Chuubu Kuiin (Tube Queen) Azami) is the fourth Frontier Brain of the Hoenn region.
[show]In the Manga
Emerald Arc
She battled against Emerald but lost, though she commented on how good Emerald was at battling.
Lucy is one of the Frontier Brains and runs the Battle Pike in Battle Frontier. In order to battle her, players have to complete the Battle Pike at least two times without fail (meaning that you have to clear 27 consecutive rooms) in order to meet her. If you defeat her, you can get the Silver Luck Symbol. In order to challenge her for the Gold Symbol, you have to clear the Battle Pike another eight consecutive times, or 10 times in total, (for a grand total of 140 rooms).
Silver Luck Symbol:
Name | Type |
Seviper | Poison |
Milotic | Water |
Shuckle | Bug/Rock |
Lucy is the Frontier Brain of the Battle Pike. Lucy is found to have a secret crush on Brock during an episode of Ash challenging her (episode 435, Queen of Serpentine), and often blushes when Brock faces her or says something to her. It is said she has a penchant for Pokémon with squinty eyes (such as Snorlax, Abra, Makuhita, Skitty, Swinub, and a Cyndaquil, all of which have squinty eyes), and since Brock has squinty eyes, she likes him a lot too.

- It was shown that she has some sort of interest in Brock because of his eyes.
- She is one of the only girls to show interest in Brock, and the only one in this category to appear in the games.
- Her official art showed her to have pale skin; however, in her sprites and in the anime, she was seen with normal skin color, she shares this with Bugsy.
- Shuckle is the only pokemon that Lucy owns in the games or anime that isn't snake-like.

The Small Print: Writing UI Instructions
A person's behavior on the Web is highly goal-driven. People have something they want to accomplish, whether it's making a purchase, finding a recipe, or learning how to do something new. Inherent in many web page designs, therefore, is information to help a user perform an action. For example, if you design a button that must be clicked to reach a desired goal (e.g., placing an item in a shopping cart), then shadowing the button so it appears to be raised will help your audience understand that the shape is a clickable object.
In addition to these types of visual cues, we often write instructions to assist users in knowing what to do next. These instructions guide the eyes and minds of the individual to look at the appropriate place and to take the appropriate action.
Mental models
Designing and writing the instructions that are part of the UI design is both an art and science, involving copywriting and design skills as well as an understanding of how people use mental models.
A mental model is a person's internal mental representation of how things work. It's a broad conception of causal actions and their effects. People apply their mental models to new situations so they don't need to relearn everything from scratch. This helps to make us cognitively efficient.
Through experience, users develop mental models of how different types of websites work. They learn the types of actions to take on an e-commerce site versus the types of actions that will work on a photo-sharing site. This means people will apply their stereotype or mental model of similar websites to make assumptions about how your website works.
This is one of the main reasons UI instructions are so important. People have an unpleasant experience when their mental models are inaccurate or incorrect. It causes frustration, errors, and inability to accomplish a goal. A frustrated user might look for another website that's easier to use.
Writing easy-to-understand instructions and presenting them in an aesthetically pleasing way can ward off these types of problems. Good instructions will guide website visitors, even if their mental models are imprecise or erroneous.
So here are some guidelines for writing UI instructions that I've gleaned from years of designing online learning as well as gems from usability research.
1. Know the subtleties of your audience
When you know the characteristics of your audience, you can imagine them and direct your words to them. Unless your visitors are a savvy, homogeneous group, it's best to assume they'll need some guidance to achieve their goals.
Think beyond the obvious audience characteristics to consider the subtleties of how readers might perceive and react to your words. Will they understand idioms? What about humor?
Notice the example above. The humorous instructions on the CAPTCHA form could only work with a sophisticated and experienced audience. Inexperienced computer users and those who are not fluent in English would have no idea that "Verify you're human" means to type the alphanumeric characters in the box.
2. Balance brevity with getting the point across
Finding balance is always an issue. When writing UI instructions, include enough detail so users know exactly what to do, but not so much detail that it becomes difficult to process the information. People can only process small amounts of information at one time.
You can help the situation by writing instructions in plain and simple language, which should help visitors accomplish their tasks efficiently and quickly. Try to use short sentences when possible. For example, this sentence could easily be broken into two: "Click the Add to Cart button, then click Check Out at the top of the screen."
3. Remove irrelevant information
This guideline goes along with the brevity advice above, but is often best to do at the end of the writing process. At the end, you look at your writing from a different perspective. It's easier to see which information is irrelevant, because it adds to the confusion quotient. Deleting extraneous and superfluous details will tighten up the final copy. In the example above, the communication could be more effective with fewer words. There's no need to sacrifice clarity for personality. With balance, you can have both.
4. Select the most effective and accurate words
The task of writing accurately involves a subtle discrimination between words with similar meanings. Usability research shows that people scan a web page rather than read it. Thus, your wording should communicate effectively while someone is on the fly and barely paying attention.
Use words that promote clarity. "Select a date" is okay, but "Click on a date" is more accurate. Avoid double negatives, such as "I do not want to unsubscribe." Also, stay away from jargon that some people won't understand, like industry acronyms and technical terms. Speaking of precision in word choice, when you look at this menu on the right, do you understand the difference between Explore and Browse?
[Note: There is some disagreement over whether "select" or "click" is more appropriate for people using assistive technologies.]
5. Write in the active voice
The active voice is crisp and clean and will move people to take action. The passive voice makes readers yawn. Compare this sentence in both voices:
- Active - "Click the Journal link to search for an article."
- Passive – "The Journal link should be clicked when you are ready to search for an article."
6. Place the instructions aesthetically
Designing UI instructions can be a challenge. You must determine where they belong in the visual and information hierarchy. Although they need to be noticed by users, they shouldn't be so prominent that they overpower the page. And as a design element, they must fit in well with the surrounding environment. Bottom line: Plan for instruction text during the initial phases of design.
7. Communicate relationships through vertical spacing
If the instructions are longer than one line, it's important that readers know which instructions belong together. The leading (or vertical spacing) between related sentences should be large enough to enable legibility yet small enough to show the sentences are associated. When there are several steps, keep each step separate by increasing the line spacing. Number the instructions if they are complex or will be perceived as such.
8. Select a typeface that enhances legibility
Think hard about the type as a design element. Use a typeface and style coherent with the rest of the site design. Consider the size of the font. The user instructions must be legible by people of all ages. Avoid bitmapped text whenever possible so users can enlarge the text if necessary.
9. Use graphics if they will help you communicate
Yep. Sometimes it's nearly impossible to say something in words. A graphic provides support and makes text comprehensible, as in this explanation of where to find your account number on a magazine label.
10. Make it personal
It's okay to add a little personality to your UI instructions and system messages. It might help your visitors have a pleasant or humorous experience. Just ensure that your between-the-lines message can never be interpreted as a put-down. For example, the instructions above help visitors feel better. After reading the message, you don't feel like such a loser for failing to keep passwords in a place where they can be found.
11. Make your instructions accessible
It's important that people who have difficulty reading small print and/or use devices to read computer screens can read your small print instructions.
Some basic accessibility guidelines for writing user interface instructions are to: avoid using graphical text so it can be enlarged (discussed in #8 above); provide text alternatives to graphical content so it can be translated into other forms such as Braille; and clearly separate the instructions from the background so they can be easily seen. In addition, use hyperlinks contextually so that they make sense if the person can't see the screen. For example, a link that states, "Instructions for using this form" is better than a "Click here" link.
12. Test your instructions
Test instructions with sample audience members, people outside of your office and with no prior knowledge of what it is you are doing. Observe one or more people performing the task for which you've written instructions. Note any difficulties they have and revise the instructions. Repeat the process until people accomplish the task without problems.
You may be surprised at the time and effort it takes to write effective UI instructions. Yet it might be one of the most valuable endeavors you pursue in designing a successful UI. Through the simplicity of comprehensible instructions, you can achieve so much—user assistance, appropriate tone and personality, and showing that you care.

Good work on the book once again!
Hi Simon,
You're right that click isn't accurate for touch screens.But you get the idea. Accuracy in language. Thanks for your comment.
I think you have some good points here, but I have some issues with your examples:
"Select a date" is okay, but "Click on a date" is more accurate.
What happens if the user doesn't or even can't use a mouse. I don't think it's a good idea to encourage the 'click here' terminology when a user could be using a touchscreen device or a keyboard to 'select a date'. In this instance "Click on a date" is in-fact less accurate.
@Robert No, its not an excuse because people "...make assumptions about how your website works." Instructions are insurance and risk management.
Hi Robert,
I certainly understand your viewpoint and it's true that a super intuitive UI doesn't need much explanation. But because users are coming from so many different experiences and levels of familiarity with computers, what's intuitive to one person may not be intuitive to another. Also, many times a task can be so complex, additional info is needed.
So why not be safe and avoid frustrating users by taking the time to add some instructions? And thanks for adding your perspective.
Excellent article! Thanks a lot for that.
We are currently working on a project for a large application that has a backoffice part and a web application part. Each of these targets a different set of users.
The backoffice users underwent exhaustive training and their application has no help or help-hints at all, while the web application has extensive help-hints and error/warning messages to cater to almost any scenario.
In my view, both are a little off the mark. In applications where you have authenticated users, I like to think that we can write adaptive UI - helping out more during the first few uses, but then silently "backing out" - leaving the application "clean" and accessible.
Sadly, this was not an option with either of these...
Help usually describes business procedures, Not UI conventions.
Typical help: "form elements with an * are required"
above: demonstrates a business rule disguised as a UI Help message.
people are not confused by the purpose of the form fields or the UI. They know how to fill out forms.
Great article - certainly creates food for thought. Like Vinh I have been using the "help icon" approach a little more lately, with pop-up help on the mouse-over. I feel I can be a little more liberal with the information I provide in the box, as opposed to instructions in the page itself. But I should probably keep them concise.
It always comes down to the balance between creative design and informative content as by adding more instructions, they tend to break the design. Plus, also need know how much instruction should be provided to help users. Make sure we do not provide too many obvious guides that may make users feel "stupid".
My general approach is to write something concise on the spot but also provide a little button for users to seek more help if they need to. This can be a little icon on the form where they can see more instructions by clicking/rolling over it, or maybe a link at the bottom/side of the page to provide more information.
Thanks for the nice post.
PS: this is the second submit, the first one failed with a message: We're sorry, but the spam filter thinks your submission could be spam. Please complete the CAPTCHA. :-(
Re. #5: "The active voice is crisp and clean and will move people to take action/The passive voice makes readers yawn"…?
It's quite possible for anyone, entirely without thinking and really simply by failing to edit clearly, or perhaps to organize her or his thoughts in advance, or for a variety of other reasons too numerous to mention, to write drawn-out, yawn-inducing sentences in the active voice. At the same time, clean and crisp text can certainly be written in the passive voice.
Consider this example: "You may be surprised at the time and effort it takes to write effective UI instructions." A perfectly good sentence—clean, yes, and crisp and inspirational—and yet in the passive voice.
Isn't it time to banish this shibboleth?

John Boozman on Budget & EconomyRepublican Representative (AR-3) |
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. LEWIS (D, GA-5): This bipartisan bill will provide the necessary funds to keep important transportation projects operating in States around the country. The Highway Trust Fund will run out of funding by September. We must act, and we must act now.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. CAMP (R, MI-4): [This interim spending is] needed because the Democrats' economic policy has resulted in record job loss, record deficits, and none of the job creation they promised. Democrats predicted unemployment would top out at 8% if the stimulus passed; instead, it's 9.5% and rising. In Michigan, it's above 15%. The Nation's public debt and unemployment, combined, has risen by a shocking 40% [because of] literally trillions of dollars in additional spending under the Democrats' stimulus, energy, and health plans.
We had a choice when it came to the stimulus last February. We could have chosen a better policy of stimulating private-sector growth creating twice the jobs at half the price. That was the Republican plan. Instead, Democrats insisted on their government focus plan, which has produced no jobs and a mountain of debt.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. PETER WELCH (D, VT-0): Citigroup supports this bill. Why? They're a huge lender. They understand that we have to stabilize home values in order to begin the recovery, and they need a tool to accomplish it. Mortgages that have been sliced and diced into 50 different sections make it impossible even for a mortgage company and a borrower to come together to resolve the problem that they share together.
Sen. DICK DURBIN (D, IL): 8.1 million homes face foreclosure in America today. Last year, I offered this amendment to change the bankruptcy law, and the banking community said: Totally unnecessary. In fact, the estimates were of only 2 million homes in foreclosure last year. America is facing a crisis.
Opponent's argument to vote No:
Sen. JON KYL (R, AZ): This amendment would allow bankruptcy judges to modify home mortgages by lowering the principal and interest rate on the loan or extending the term of the loan. The concept in the trade is known as cram-down. It would apply to all borrowers who are 60 days or more delinquent. Many experts believe the cram-down provision would result in higher interest rates for all home mortgages. We could end up exacerbating this situation for all the people who would want to refinance or to take out loans in the future.
Rep. MICHELE BACHMANN (R, MN-6): Of the foundational policies of American exceptionalism, the concepts that have inspired our great Nation are the sanctity of private contracts and upholding the rule of law. This cramdown bill crassly undercuts both of these pillars of American exceptionalism. Why would a lender make a 30-year loan if they fear the powers of the Federal Government will violate the very terms of that loan?
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. DAVID OBEY (D, WI-7): This country is facing what most economists consider to be the most serious and the most dangerous economic situation in our lifetimes. This package today is an $825 billion package that does a variety of things to try to reinflate the economy:
Opponent's argument to vote No:
Rep. JERRY LEWIS (R, CA-51): Most of us would agree that the recent $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is an illustration of how good intentions don't always deliver desired results. When Congress spends too much too quickly, it doesn't think through the details and oversight becomes more difficult. The lesson learned from TARP was this: we cannot manage what we do not measure. We cannot afford to make the same mistake again.
Sen. THAD COCHRAN (R, MS): We are giving the executive branch immense latitude in the disbursement of the spending this bill contains. We are doing so without any documentation of how this spending will stimulate the economy. Normally, this kind of information would be contained in an administration budget. For items that have a short-term stimulative effect, most of us will feel comfortable debating their merits as an emergency measure. But there is a great deal of spending that is not immediately stimulative.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. BARNEY FRANK (D, MA-4): Last year, after we responded to the urgent pleas of the Bush administration to authorize the $700 billion deployment of Federal funds to unstick the credit markets, many of us became very unhappy, [because Bush] repudiated commitments to use a significant part of the fund to diminish foreclosures. If we do not pass this bill today, we will make no progress in what is the single biggest economic problem we've been facing, namely, the foreclosure crisis.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. RON PAUL (R, TX-14): There has been a lot of money spent to try to bail out the financial industry, and nothing seems to be working. I think it's mainly because we haven't admitted that excessive spending can cause financial problems, & excessive debt and inflation can cause problems.
Actually, the recession is therapy for all of the mistakes, but the mistakes come, basically, from a Federal Reserve system that's causing too many people to make mistakes. Interest rates are lower than they should be, so they don't save. That contributes to what we call "moral hazard" as well as the system of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac system. With the assumption that we're all going to be bailed out, people say, "Well, no sweat because, if there is a mistake, the government will come to our rescue." A private FDIC would never permit this massive malinvestment. There would be regulations done in the marketplace, and there would not be this distortion that we've ended up with.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. BARNEY FRANK (D, MA-4): This economy is in the worst shape that it has been in since the Great Depression. This Congress voted 2 months ago to advance $25 billion to the auto industry to promote innovation. This $15 billion is an additional "bridge loan."
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SPENCER BACHUS (R, AL-6): We all understand that the bankruptcy of either GM or Chrysler would have a cascading effect on other manufacturers. But I cannot support this plan because it spends taxpayer money without any real promise to return the industry to profitability. I see several glaring flaws. We are creating a new car czar to manage these companies from Washington; not a CEO, but a car czar. Second, this legislation actually imposes new and expensive mandates on our automobile companies. Third, this legislation imposes Federal Government management on the Big Three, the wisdom of Washington. It is clear that the management of these companies have made mistakes, many mistakes, but to set up a command and control Federal bureaucrat is exactly the wrong solution.
Rep. RON PAUL (R, TX-14): The problems that we are facing today date back to 1971. But we don't seem to want to go back and find out how financial bubbles form and why they burst. Instead, we just carry on doing the same old thing and never look back. We spend more money, we run up more debt, we print more money, and we think that is going to solve the problem that was created by spending too much money, running up debt, printing too much money. Today, we are talking about tinkering on the edges without dealing with the big problem.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. DAVID OBEY (D, WI-7): Congress has tried to do a number of things that would alleviate the squeeze on the middle class. Meanwhile, this economy is sagging. Jobs, income, sales, and industrial production have all gone down. We have lost 600,000 jobs. We are trying to provide a major increase in investments to modernize our infrastructure and to provide well-paying construction jobs at the same time.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. JERRY LEWIS (R, CA-41): Just 2 days ago we were debating an $800 billion continuing resolution. Now in addition to being asked to pay for a bailout for Wall Street, taxpayers are being asked to swallow an additional $60 billion on a laundry list of items I saw for the first time just a few hours ago. The Democratic majority is describing this legislation as a "stimulus package" to help our national economy. But let's not fool ourselves. This is a political document pure and simple. If these priorities are so important, why hasn't this bill gone through the normal legislative process? We should have debated each of the items included in this package.
It doesn't take an economist to tell you that the economy needs our help. But what does this Congress do? It proposes to spend billions more without any offsets in spending. The failure to adhere to PAYGO means that this new spending will be financed through additional borrowing, which will prove a further drag on our struggling economy.
SUPPORTER'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING YES:Rep. WATERS: This bill preserves public housing. The administration eliminated the one-for-one replacement requirement in 1996, effectively triggering a national sloughing off of our Nation's public housing inventory. Housing authorities have consistently built back fewer units than they have torn down and, as a result, over 30,000 units have been lost. I urge you to support our Nation's low-income families and to preserve our housing stock.
OPPONENT'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING NO:Rep. HENSARLING: President Reagan once said that the nearest thing to eternal life on Earth is a Federal program, and I don't think there is any better case study than perhaps the HOPE VI program. If there was ever a program that cried out for termination, it's this one.
This program began in 1992 with a very noble purpose of taking 86,000 units of severely distressed public housing and replacing them, demolishing them. Well, it achieved its mission. But somewhere along the line we had this thing in Washington known as mission creep.
We already have 80-plus Federal housing programs, and the budget for Federal housing programs has almost doubled in the last 10 years, from $15.4 billion to more than $30 billion now. So it's very hard to argue that somehow Federal housing programs have been shortchanged.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Bill passed House, 271-130
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. FRANK: This legislation seeks to prevent a repetition of events that caused one of the most serious financial crises in recent times. We have a worldwide problem economically, with a terrible shortage of credit. Innovations in the mortgage industry, in themselves good and useful, but conducted in such a completely unregulated manner as to have led to this crisis. The fundamental principle of the bill is not to put remedies into place, but to stop future problems from occurring in the first place. We have had two groups of mortgage originators: banks subject to the regulation of the bank regulators; and then mortgage loans made by brokers who were subject to no regulation. The secondary market has been on the whole useful but, having been unregulated, has caused some problems.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. HENSARLING: This is a bad bill for homeowners in America. There is no doubt that this Nation faces a great challenge in the subprime market, but this piece of legislation is going to make the situation worse. Clearly, there has to be enforcement against fraud in the subprime market. But what Congress should not do is essentially outlaw the American Dream for many struggling families who may be of low income, who may have checkered credit pasts, for whom a subprime mortgage is the only means to purchase a home.

The Contract from America, clause 6. End Runaway Government Spending:

Steve, do you know the difference between Linux and Windows from the driver side? Apparently not. There is a difference when there is a driver that is written by the HW manufracturer and these guys having full access to 100% of the specs and the hardware-bugs. Then, there are the Kernel driver hackers (or userland if you want to) and these guys often have not all specs, and sometimes no, zero specs at all. And, furthermore they do not yet know the HW bugs. But the Linux people are the ones to find out. And there is quite a number of faulty chips around. And it is not only CPUs that have a good number of smaller or larger bugs.
The manufracturer's driver, and they always provide drivers for the Windows that is recent on the market (so often no older Windows support), can ship carefully around these bugs, not triggering them.
The free hackers have to find these bugs by themselves. And fix them in their drivers. Do reverse engineering stuff. Testing. All that time consuming and sometimes frustrating stuff.
I hope I could make the problems visible. That is the reason why often a lot of Linux drivers for new HW come late or do not have full access to the HW they are made for. But once there are specs, once the chips is really known, the drivers becomes better and better. And once a firm decides to say: Oh, well, we will only support next gen windows, and not support older Windows anymore (or the other way round) Windows users are the ones who have to live with an old (and maybe also buggy) driver - and yes I have seen a lot of buggy drivers under Windows. The people who have a free driver can have it til eternity or til their piece of HW fails or til they just want to upgrade their HW. And that is the good side.
Remember it was a faulty printer driver that caused rms to start all his work.
On topic with ASUS: I was quite font to read exactly my thoughts in the last issue of a German linux mag, they also took up that topic with ASUS' "it's better with Windows". Apparently ASUS might have used Linux only to pressurize MS to lower the prices. (But then still there are the ridiculus rules about max. storage space, display res. etc. for these Windows on Netbook licenses)
Nice read, that on smiaccurate.com, but that is typical MS behaviour. And that is also the reason why I dislike MS, despite Linus being the pragmatic tech guy and telling us not to hate MS on slashdot. Yes, I read that yesterday.
And if MS provides free code and it is usable code, okay, why not. But still I see them f*ucking their competitors in all evil ways possible. Competitors, free or commecial, business partners (Logitech once nearly went bankrupt due to MS), customers.

A pregnant coach for a women's lacrosse team and a bus driver died Saturday morning when a charter bus crashed near Carlisle, Pa.
The Seton Hill University team was on its way to an NCAA-II match in Millersville University, Pa., when the crash happened at about 9 a.m., according to school spokeswoman Kary Coleman.
The school posted a statement to its website Saturday afternoon mourning the death of head women's lacrosse coach Kristina Quigley and her unborn son. Quigley, survived by her husband, Glenn Quigley, and young son, Gavin, had just begun her second season at the school.
The bus driver died at the scene, according to Bill Capone, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Quigley died after arriving at Penn State Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa., according to hospital spokesman Danielle Ran.
Seton Hill, not to be confused with Seton Hall University in New Jersey, is a small Catholic school of 2,500 in Greensburg, Pa., east of Pittsburgh.
The accident in central Pennsylvania marked the third crash involving a college sports team since Feb. 27.
The three who were seriously injured - including the second person who died - were flown by helicopter to the Hershey hospital, according to Ran.
Nineteen others with minor injuries were taken to Carlisle Regional Medical Center, Harrisburg Hospital and Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill, Pa., according to a Seton Hill statement.
The bus reportedly went off the road and crashed into a tree, according to Pennsylvania Turnpike spokeswoman Renee Colborn.
The driver and 22 passengers were on board, according to Capone of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Authorities were still trying to figure out what happened, he said.
"This occurred on probably the straightest stretch of turnpike anywhere in our system," Capone said. "There were no other vehicles involved. The suspicion is that something happened to the driver - either he dozed off or there was a medical emergency."
Photos from the scene show the bus upright on the side of the road, part of its left side shorn off, though it's not clear whether that was from impact or emergency workers attempting to reach people inside the bus. At least one person was wheeled away in a stretcher.
State police were investigating the crash, said Megan Silverstram of the Cumberland County public safety department, and state environmental officials were also sent to the scene because of a diesel fuel spill from the bus.
The bus operator, Mlaker Charter & Tours, of Davidsville, Pa., sent investigators to the scene, company dispatcher Kelly Hay said. The company had no information yet from the investigators and could not comment, she said.
On Tuesday, a bus carrying 34 lacrosse players, three coaches and a driver from St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vt., was hit by a sports car that spun out of control on a wet highway in Lifton Park, N.Y. A passenger in the car died, four players suffered minor injuries and the driver suffered critical injuries. The team was on its way to a game in Westchester County, N.Y.
On Feb. 27, a bus carrying the women's basketball team from the University of Maine ran off a highway north of Boston, seriously injuring the driver, leaving a player with a broken hand and the coach with minor facial cuts. The bus crossed a median when, police believe, the driver had a medical episode.
Seton Hill said on its website that it would hold a mass for Quigley and the bus driver at 7 p.m. Sunday at Saint Joseph Chapel on campus.
Quigley led the team to 11 victories in its first season. She came to Seton Hill from Erskine College in Due West, S.C.
Seton Hill says it used texts, emails and phone calls to notify students about the crash. The associate dean of students was headed to the scene of the crash to help students and their families.
The school said in its statement that counseling would be available for students and members of the university community.

The Miami Heat are well aware that the Oklahoma City Thunder aren't going away, not after the Thunder nearly rallied from a 17-point deficit Thursday night.
But the Heat also know they're going home with a legitimate chance in these NBA Finals.
Avoiding a 2-0 deficit in these best-of-seven NBA Finals, the Heat held on for a 100-96 victory in Game 2 at Chesapeake Energy Arena, behind 32 points from LeBron James and 24 from guard Dwyane Wade and with forward Chris Bosh returning to their starting lineup to add 16 points and 15 rebounds.
Despite dealing with late foul trouble, forward Kevin Durant scored 32 for the Thunder, with Oklahoma City guards Russell Westbrook and James Harden adding 27 and 21, respectively.
The game was decided when Durant missed an eight-foot runner after previously nailing a 3-pointer that drew the Thunder within two. James made a pair of free throws with 7.1 seconds left to put it away for the Heat.
Earlier, the Thunder's comeback chances sustained what appeared to be a lethal blow, when Durant was called for his fifth foul while contesting a Heat rebound with 10:31 to play.
But Durant then re-entered with a 3-pointer and dunk on consecutive possessions to draw the Thunder within 82-74 with 8:22 to play.
Aware that the Thunder four times this postseason had overcome deficits of 13 or more, the Heat came out with more of an edge in the third quarter than they did in the third period of Game 1, when that game turned with a 27-19 advantage.
While Durant got his offense going in the third, the Heat this time had a more offensive-minded James and a Shane Battier who refused to miss 3-pointers.
It did grow tense early in the third period, when Durant and James each were called for their third fouls. Durant then was called for his fourth foul with 3:31 to play in the third quarter, after sparking a 6-0 Thunder surge.
The Heat took a 78-67 lead into the fourth quarter, with James already with 26 points at that stage.
With Harden finding his way offensively, the Thunder closed what had been a 17-point deficit to 35-25 early in the second period on a Harden driving layup that split three Heat defenders. His scoring was needed, with Durant falling to 1-for-5 from the field and Westbrook 1-of-8.
But the Heat, running more and scoring inside more than in Game 1, again pushed their lead back to 17 on a Mario Chalmers 3-pointer with 2:10 to play in the second period.
The Heat took a 55-43 lead into the intermission, behind 14 first-half points from James.
Harden led the Thunder with 17 first-half points.
Unlike Game 1, when he played a tight rotation, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra this time utilized the likes of Norris Cole and James Jones early, going nine deep in the first quarter. Jones had missed Game 1 with a migraine.
The Thunder opened 1-for-12 from the field, with Westbrook off to another rough start, this time 0-for-5 at the outset. The only Thunder basket during that run was a Durant jumper.
That allowed the Heat to burst to an 18-2 lead, similar to the 13-point lead they built early in their 105-94 Game 1 loss.
The Heat later pushed their lead to 17 in the opening period, going into the second quarter up 27-15.
Along the way, Durant was called for his second foul, with 3:40 left in the opening period, forcing him to the bench, joined there by Westbrook, who also was called for his second foul in the opening period, in which he shot 1-of-7.
The Thunder finally got some spark off the bench in the opening period, with Harden scoring 10 points in the period after closing Game 1 with five.
James led the Heat with eight first-quarter points, with Wade adding seven in the period.

HUD reorganization will close dozens of field offices, affect 900 workers
Thursday - 4/25/2013, 7:58pm EDT
A major restructuring at the Department of Housing and Urban Development will close or consolidate dozens of the agency's field offices nationwide and affect 10 percent of its workforce.
The restructuring initiative was revealed to staff Wednesday. HUD officials said the current organizational model is not sustainable given the constrained budget the agency faces.
"The decision to transform and improve the agency is not easy and it was not a decision that any of us took lightly," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, in a video message announcing the plan. "One thing we're not doing is looking to lay off employees."
The downsizing, which will impact the Offices of Multifamily Housing Programs and Field Policy and Management, will begin this fall and will take about 2 1/2 years to implement. All told, the initiative will save as much as $65 million annually and will affect 900 of HUD's 9,000 employees.
"Make no mistake — we will have to make tough choices. But while some of these changes will be painful, we will work to do everything we can to minimize that pain," Donovan said.
Employees affected by the restructuring will be offered relocation assistance if necessary. HUD will also offer buyouts and early retirements. Every affected employee will be offered a position with the agency, according to a HUD release.
Employees in the Multifamily Housing Programs office will see the biggest impact.
HUD plans to consolidate 50 field offices nationwide down to just 10 offices that, in turn, will report to five "hubs" located in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Fort Worth and San Francisco.
The agency aims to save between $40 million and $50 million once the plan is fully implemented.
HUD officials also plan to close 16 of the Office of Field Policy and Management's 80 field offices in places such as Syracuse, N.Y.; Fresno, Calif.; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Shreveport, La. After the restructuring, each state will still retain at least one field office.
That will save between $11 million and $15 million, the agency estimated.
Plan went forward without union input
Maurice Jones, deputy HUD secretary, said the agency's business model is unsustainable in the current fiscal climate.
"We're in a different budget environment and we're at a point where we must make some extremely tough choices," he said in a statement.
The agency's decision, which has been in the works for about a year, was not affected by sequestration, said Jerry Brown, a HUD spokesman.
"Realistically, we don't anticipate HUD's budget significantly increasing in the coming years," he told Federal News Radio in an email. "We are taking this opportunity to reshape the organization's future before we're forced to do so by the budget."
The president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 222, which represents 6,500 of the 9,000 employees that would be affected by the plan, said the union is still awaiting official notification from the agency.
"We can bargain and we will bargain over impact and implementation," Council President Eddie Eitches told Federal News Radio.
Eitches said the agency did not provide the union with many details before the announcement of the reorganization.
"There was no pre-decisional involvement," he said. "The plan was developed without union input."
Going forward, the union will work to reduce the number of employees forced to move by asking Congress to give the agency greater flexibility to shift funding around between offices, Eitches said.

Smokin Buds - Athletic Purple/Grey (Mic'd)
Smokin Buds: Rock Out with These Colorful Skullcandy Smokin Buds
May 6, 2012
Publication: GeekSugar.com
After I included a pair of these Skullcandy Smokin Buds in a recent Mother's Day gift guide, I fell in love with them myself! They are affordable — starting at $30 — and come in a range of hot color combos, from my favorite orange and white, to a bright and cheerful pink, blue, and yellow.
They even give off a retro-vibe, similar to the new Sony Qlasp earphones we saw last week, and are a nice alternative if you don't have a lot of dough.
Skullcandy is known for its funky and affordable, yet high-quality products; and the Smokin Buds are no exception. It's tough to choose a favorite!

Awful! It's slow at scanning, if you can even get it to scan. It can't get over a "communication error." I'm sending it back.

In a nutshell, dogfooding means "using your own product". A product which is being dogfooded tends to be a lot more polished. When a normal user is annoyed by the product, they can't do anything about it. But when a developer is annoyed by the product, they can stop what they are doing and make the product less annoying.
In the past I've always dogfooded new builds for a while before making them

The Deva Path (天道, Tendō) grants the user the ability to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces with objects and people. These gravity manipulating techniques, however, cannot be performed in rapid succession; the amount of time required to recharge after use varies depending on the scale of the technique used. The Deva Path also grants another ability: Chibaku Tensei which allows the user to create a huge makeshift terrestrial body from all the surrounding matter that is attracted to a black sphere released by this technique.
Though he used the powers of the Deva Path prior to being crippled, Nagato spent the remainder of his life channelling the power through the corpse of his deceased friend Yahiko, using him as the face of his Pain alias. In the anime, through Pain, Nagato demonstrated the ability to levitate in midair prior to levelling Konoha and during his battle against Naruto in his six-tailed state.
In Buddhism, the Deva realm is the realm of bliss. The Deva realm is sometimes also referred to as the "god's realm" because, compared to humans, its inhabitants are so powerful that they could be compared to deities. However, beings born into the Deva realm are still subject to reincarnation. Devas suffer from pride and the knowledge that their long lives and powers will not prevent their eventual rebirth.

I would take with a large pile of salt the idea that Microsoft will lose the desktop/notebook pie. Consider how huge it is, and how many business-critical applications run on it. It'll be going for a long time. As good as Linux and MacOS may be, they aren't going to be taking the majority spot for desktops/notebooks anytime soon.
If I were in your position I would take a look at Qt: the IDE (QtCreator) works on Windows, MacOS and Linux, and can produce code for those three, plus Android, iOS and Blackberry, so there should be no worries about tying yourself to an individual platform. Having said that, it won't play with the Microsoft languages. I wouldn't feel comfortable having my career rely on one company (hence I've just moved our company's development to QtCreator from Visual Studio.
It's not dead in the slightest. Look around your place of work: it's unlikely that anybody will give up their desktop/laptop for a tablet/other device. Typing isn't fun on a tablet. It can be done but it's a very different experience with no tactile feedback. Moving files from one place to another is intuitive with a keyboard/mouse (cut & paste or drag & drop), not so much on a non-desktop system.
My cynical side thinks that the people suggesting that it is are the ones writing apps for tablets etc. Similar to how CryTek (the company that makes Crysis and other brilliant-looking games) say that graphics are the most important part of a modern game.
No. Not at all. Not even slightly.
People that say that are morons and zealots. If you like a system and it works for you then go for it. If somebody is so wrapped up in open source ideology that they can't see that their preferred system(s) aren't perfect then they are a zealot, too blinded by their ideals to see reason, so probably not the type of person from whom you should take advice.
Short answer: nope.
I'm going to let you in on a 'secret': I actually quite like Windows 8. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have the old start menu back, but other than that it has worked flawlessly for me. The "if you like it..." approach is still there, but there are now more people with larger mouths.
I hope this helps. I'd be happy to clarify anything if I've been unclear.

US drops demand for April elections in Mali
Monday - 1/28/2013, 3:53pm EST
By BRADLEY KLAPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States is softening its stance on Mali's need to hold elections in April.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says the West African country, beset by an Islamist rebellion, requires security and political solutions.
But on April elections, Nuland said Monday the U.S. is "not going to prejudge whether security is going to be restored in a manner that's going to enable that."
She urged a "national unity conversation" and more security work so "elections can go forward as soon as possible."
Mali's democratic government was ousted last year and France is helping it fight al-Qaida-linked militants in the north.
The U.S. is helping France, but long demanded speedy political progress, too.
Two weeks ago, Nuland said "it's in the interest of Mali" to hold to the April timetable.

The ice maker in my Whirlpool refridgerator stopped making ice. Dale S. • Macungie, PA • March 25, 2014 Appliance: Model 758365-WHW My Repair & Advice I ordered a replacement ice maker.

Ice maker stopped working John M. • Charlotte, NC • March 21, 2014 My Repair & Advice I assumed (correctly) that the ice flipping mechanism was okay, and the problem was in the timer module - which had a manufacturer's part number on it. The entire ice maker cost about twice what the price of the timer assembly so I figured I'd take a chance. I ordered the part which came quickly, replaced it (easy - three screws) and the unit is now working properly. The only 'problem' I had was that the water level adjustment control was not identified nor was there an adjustment guide included for making adjustments. This situation was cleared up with a call to your customer service people who looked up and told me what the adjustment procedure was. I was very impressed by the technical understanding of the customer service people and, what appeared to be, a sincere interest in helping me solve my problem. Was this review helpful to you?

It probably if from the plant the chilli was grown from.
You know, it does look like a pepper leaf.
Sure does; I have some Oregano plants here that look very similar, veins are slightly different though. Your specimen is a little difficult to read because one needs to try an imagine it in a lighter," back to fresh" state and the pic is a bit under lit.
I grew a bunch of these a few years ago. They are real pretty, and they taste good too! I guess I'll have to grow some more now that spring is here. http://www.google.com/search?q=numex+twilight&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=RVeQUdKxCvTH4AP4yoC4Bg&ved=0CCwQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=616
I bet they are hotter than a fur coat in Marfa.
You have oregano plants with 2.5" pointy leaves? Are you sure they are oregano? My oregano leaves are 0.75" at most, and much more round in shape.
Craig,It it possible that what you have is a bay leaf? A bay leaf will usually have a rib in the middle that runs across the leaf to the tip. It is more visible from the underside of the leaf. Bay leaves can come in different sizes although their shapes will generally be the same.Peter
Craig,I am not sure what kind of leaf you found in the Calabrian chilies, but the leaf looks something like the leaves on my Serrano Del Sol pepper plants.Norma
That's funny...they used a picture of jalapeno peppers on your Serrano tag.
