Phoronix: Exciting Proposals For The Linux Community
As a follow-up to What Would Be Crazy For Linux Right Now, here are some of the interesting responses by the Phoronix community for what announcements would be pivotal for Linux and open-source...
1 aprill? dadasdasd
Wishful thinking: The Best of ?
There are only two things on that list that I'd actually want.
On another note, remind me not to check the site tomorrow.
some of those ideas were definitely important or even mandatory such as (not just acrobat but) all adobe products being linux compatible, the different types of video acceleration, steam on linux, directx being linux compatible, and opengl 4.1. linux could seriously use stuff like that.
i'm legitimately disappointed about some of those ideas in that list. seriously people, more than half of that stuff should NOT happen. its not even the idea that it won't happen or "it would be nice", it simply shouldn't ever happen. if you don't like how itunes doesn't work or there isn't 1 unified desktop environment or how flash isn't under gpl then seriously, stop using linux. those aren't legitimate, unavoidable problems.
to me, the different desktop environments is one of the benefits of linux. instead of having 1 unified DE there should be unified toolkits. gtk and qt are different for specific reasons but it is inconvenient if you only want 1 program that uses them.
some of this stuff actually just pisses me off and makes me wonder what people are even thinking. such as linus joining microsoft or opengl losing patents. are you HOPING linux will fail? and some things are just simply irrational - its not even a matter of "wouldn't this be cool!" because the ideas so far-fetched. for example, windows, ms office, and/or vmware being available under gpl. why is that a good idea? why do we WANT windows? why do you want programs like vmware or ms office to lose paid, dedicated support? Those programs are the best of their kind and the fact that they're proprietary with dedicated developers that makes them better. some of you may disagree with me on this, but just look at openoffice - i like it very much but it still has a way to go and it has had many companies work on it.
i think these people just want all products to be free. if they have any common sense, developmental skills, business knowledge, or the awareness of the purpose of linux, they'll realize that the ideas i mentioned are not acceptable, or even fathomable.
Nice stuff that I'd love to see happen in Linux-land and many of those items should be achievable with some luck and perseverance not to mention needing a large warchest funded by donations from penguin lovers.
- Apple iTunes gets a native Linux client - if Apple can see the light
- Unrestricted right to S3TC granted to open source projects - this should be possible with some negotiation with S3's legal dept
- Gnome, KDE, Xfce & LXDE to unite into one universal linux desktop called KGXL - dunno about that
- Steam migrates to Android (didn't they already announce this?) - pie in the sky it sounds
- Microsoft releases all versions of DirectX under BSD license - when pigs fly but is it really needed?
- Microsoft Visual Studio for Linux - sounds nice but is it worth it?
- Microsoft releases Windows 8 under the GPL
- Canonical and Gnome decide to work together - a strong possibility
- Microsoft releases Office 2012 under the GPL - when hell freezes over and Ballmer is out.
- A stable release of GNU/Hurd - about time if this comes to pass
- Linux PowerVR driver with OpenGL 4.1 support - should also be doable with some negotiations
- Linus Torvalds accepts the position of Head Windows Developer at Microsoft - lol wut?
- Official release of the E17 window manager - that would be awesome
- Linux users stop resorting to denial as way to fixing issues - great one...with some user education
- AMD/ATI releasing a FOSS video acceleration API for decoding/encoding H264/MPEG-2/MPEG-4 videos
- Adobe Acrobat X Professional for Linux - only if Adobe can get its head out of the sand
- VMware Workstation is released under the GPLv2 - that be cool if it were to happen
- Java 7 final and OpenJDK 7 are officially released - we shall see
- Adobe releases Flash under GPLv3 - doubt it, unless Adobe gets some Linux loving senior management
- Nokia drops Windows Phone 7 plans - if they finally wake up and realize what they'd get into
- Debian GNU/MINIX is announced - interesting if it comes to pass
- Linux reaches 5% market share - awesome!
- OpenGL patents are invalidated - would take a mountain of prior art and a strong legal case
- Ubuntu Bug #1 is marked as fixed and closed - the oldest bug
GNU/HURD isn't that hard to make. It's the servers that implement some stuff on top of a kernel. They could just use MINIX instead, but because there is a working Linux kernel they just focus on an uberkernel, which is taking a while (no point in releasing something dissapointing that works).
I think it should be taken with a grain of salt. There are just too many stupid points to take it seriously.
"Microsoft Visual Studio for Linux - sounds nice but is it worth it?"
since that was my suggestion I'll say why I made it: first off, I'm an application developer, I'm using linux at my home and I love that whole concept and the kernel and just nearly everything around it (except rpm, that's just evil ). However, since I programmed most of my programs during my traineeship and my time as employee with C# I kinda love that language. (don't get me wrong: I don't like Microsoft and in my eyes most of the stuff they do is either copied or just wrong/bad/buggy) but with that whole .NET thing and C# and Visual Studio they did something wonderful. I've yet to see any IDE that has the comfort of Visual Studio, you don't have to focus on minor things like binding the GUI with the code and the event handlers, you just do it (and since WPF you can do real MVC developing), BUT you can go down to that level where you can decide how to bind those things etc.
I never saw anything like that when I tried IDEs for linux. Instead you've to handle those low-level things, and that's something that's not what linux developers can do and what linux stands for. In almost every case you can just click a few times and everything is installed and runs but on the other hand you can go down and compile everything from scratch. It's the persons choice. And I really don't understand why that's not the case when it comes to programming under linux, there you've to take the hard way and that's wrong in my eyes.
plus: because of mono c# is a multi-platform language.
and because of that: yes, it is worth it. (look at banshee, it's one of the best music players we got)
Unrestricted right to S3TC granted to open source projects - BPTC is way better and has no patent claims.
Linux PowerVR driver with OpenGL 4.1 support - We would need way more powerful hardware which is capable of utilizing tessellation
My wishlist (short period):
- nVidia release optimus support and gaming profiles for their proprietary drivers.
- AMD improving performance and add good video acceleration to their proprietary drivers.
- Fully programmable pipeline on GPUs, perhaps from OpenCL kernels. ("OpenGL 5.0")
- A software package to generate distribution specific packages without doing it manually.
Long term:
- nVidia and AMD making an open source fork in their source tree.
- Software companies start realizing the potential in the GNU/Linux market.
- Schools and governments primary use free software.

5 stars all the way around!!! Did a ton of research on foam mattress's and received pro's and con's from everyone. Found this mattress here and couldn't believe the price so decided to purchase it. Bought it on a Thursday and it was here at my house on Tuesday which was the 5 days promised. Came in a big nice box and was vacuumed sealed and wrapped in 2 plastic packaging (very professional). Opened the box and bagging and it immediately expanded to its original size. Slight foamy/ brand new smell that went away in a few days and I sprayed some Febreeze on it to give it a little extra flavor.Layed on it and felt like I was on a cloud. Its not too firm and not too soft. It's the perfect comfort to anyone's body because it works with your specific body weight and curves. Ive been having a very comfy sleep and cant stop bragging about it. Also the "extra curricular night time activity" is soooo much better. No more sore knees or elbows in certain positions and all around comfortable in every. I highly recommend this mattress yall! Laying on it right now writing this review! hahaha
Pros: Memory foam, light weight, durable, price, no noticeable smell, fits well with Queen size sheets Cons: Mattress cover is not; washable, water resistant, or removable if you want to keep the Serta warranty valid. 72 hours is takes for the mattress to reshape itself. Review: I highly recommend this product for anyone was has back problems. I used to wake up every night with back pains from sleeping on my side or on my stomach. Since purchasing this product I have yet to wake with any signs of back problems. I didn't know just how much sleep I was losing using a spring mattress until using this product. I now can sleep through the entire night and wake up without any back pains.
My husband and I have been sleeping on this mattress for 5 months only, and we are replacing it already. We both need a fair amount of back support while we sleep and this mattress was only able to provide that within the first month or two. Now the mattress has permanent body indentations on both sides of our bed and if you try to roll over or change positions you will roll right back into the slump. While buying a mattress without sleeping a full night on it is always a gamble, I was extremely disappointed by this product.
This is the most comfortable mattress I've slept on in a long time.....I have a Temperpedic in my other home and this one is certainly a close second at a much lower cost....just love it....
I ordered this on Black Friday because i needed a new mattress. It arrived last night, was easy to open and put into place. My first complaint is 8" isnt enough (thats what she said). I have a low bed that uses a wooden slat foundation rather thana box spring. My old mattress was low, but this makes my bed even lower. I may need to try to raise it some or get a thick topper. The smell isnt an issue. If i stuck my face to the mattress, then I could smell it, but i'm not a pillow biter, so thats not an issue for me. The build quality seems pretty good. It came with a flyer from sleep innovations, which is the same company that makes more expensive mattresses for other retailers. The box is clearly marked serta though. Another compliant I Have is the rigidity of the corners. My fitted sheet and mattress pad seem to squich teh corner. Its not really noticabke with sheets on though, but it is something I never considered.
Holds up pretty well, comfortable. There is a fairly strong odor in the beginning that disappears in a few weeks.
Mattress arrive years ago with some defects in the cut. It wasn't until a couple years after I purchased it when I took off the cover and discovered a gaping hole at one end where the mattress looked deformed. In the beginning it felt firm and comfortable but over the 3.5 years I've used it, I started suffering from lower-back pain. The mattress just wasn't offering the support I needed. I just ordered another 8 inch mattress - different brand - that is advertised as being firm.
I purchased it as a gift. they love it! Now I am purchasing one for myself! It's very good for your whole body to rest comfortably.
I wanted a firm mattress and my parents had this one, so I knew that that was what I was getting. I would suggest getting a thick topper if you like less support. Overall good for the price and didn't have a chemical-y smell.
I'd bought this mattress 3 years ago for my son and when my back hurts I go sleep in his bed. (He's six :)) It has held up very well. It was originally too hard (and I like a firm bed) so we added a plush mattress pad and a box spring. The platform was just too firm. Now it is dreamy and I am going to buy another for my daughter.

Known by the single moniker Rihanna, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, the Barbados born beauty better, enjoyed a fast ascent to stardom after her 2003 introduction to record producer Evan Rogers. Soon after relocating to the U.S. Rihanna was signed to Def Jam records, at the ripe old age of 16, by Jay-Z. Her 2005 album debut, Music of the Sun, was a smash that earned Gold certification. With two albums to her name, Rihanna tickets flew out of the box offices for her 2006 Rihanna: Live in Concert Tour. Originally miscategorized as reggae and subjected to harsh criticism from the critics, Rihanna fought hard to earn her ranks in the R&B world. After rapping up her first tour she embarked upon a collaborative tour with the U.K.'s Pussycat Dolls. Rihanna's efforts have yielded several hit singles like "Umbrella," "Unfaithful," "Disturbia," "Pon de Replay" and "Good Girl Gone Bad." The latter song reflects the metamorphosis of her image during the production of her 2007 Good Girl Gone Bad album. Going from fresh eyed beauty, Rihanna sexed it up with revealing outfits and outlandish hairdos. Her controversial new image saw her through another tour before heading out on a shared bill with Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco. In 2010 Rihanna collaborated with Eminem on the hit track "Love the Way You Lie" which also produced a controversial music video alluding to Rihanna's past turmoil. Later that year the duo performed the song live at the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards to amazing accolades. Not known for being chatty with her audience, or for being on time, Rihanna saves her energy to keep up the relentless pace of her concerts. Pounding through the pop of "Don't Stop the Music" into ballads like "Take a Bow," the songstress glides seamlessly from one musical personality to another. Fans can't keep off their feet as they dance like the concert is one never-ending, hip-hopesque party. Reviews declare that Rihanna live is "the bomb!" Don't miss your chance to be enchanted and dance the night away. Get your Rihanna concert tickets today!

Red Sox could make play for Andruw
The Yankees may have some company in trying to secure Andruw Jones for their bench. The New York Daily News reported Wednesday that the Red Sox are believed to have joined New York in pursuit of the 34-year-old outfielder, and that there are multiple teams with interest.
Jones provided right-handed power for the Yankees last year, slugging 13 homers in limited playing time, with most of his 48 starts coming against left-handed hurlers. The Daily News noted that while J.D. Drew's contract has expired in Boston, neither Ryan Kalish nor Josh Reddick have a great track record against left-handed pitching.

After several senators turned it down, U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., has agreed to take the gavel of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee.
Durbin's ascension to the spending subpanel's biggest chair hands a member of the Senate's leadership team the responsibility of shepherding annual Pentagon appropriations bills to final passage in the upper chamber. The Senate has yet to pass a 2013 defense appropriations bill.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., was named the new chairman of the full panel several weeks ago but opted against also taking the Defense subcommittee gavel.
In his first comments as chairman, Durbin immediately signaled defense budget cuts are likely — and soon.
"As we wind down the war in Afghanistan, face upcoming budget cuts, and work to prepare our military for future threats, this subcommittee will focus on ensuring our military remains the most powerful, ready and capable force in the world," Durbin said in a Jan. 25 statement.
"We will also work tirelessly to ensure we're spending wisely, protecting taxpayers and planning well for the future needs," Durbin said.
Durbin takes the gavel after other Democrats, such as Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Tom Harkin of Iowa, opted against becoming the defense subcommittee chief. The move will become final once the Senate passes its 113th Congress organizing resolution.
A review of Durbin's voting record shows he has typically voted in favor of Pentagon spending measures. He has, however, voted against some military policy measures in recent years over concerns about issues like enemy combatant detainee policies.

Phoronix: AMD Works On Linux Power Savings For Future CPUs
New kernel patches by AMD for the Linux kernel provide "frequency sensitivity feedback" for the powersave bias in cpufreq. This hardware feedback feature is to be introduced on future AMD processors...
I would greatly appreciate it if they were doing something for the current GPUs.
We know Bridgman, we know the engineers and legal are trying to release the PM code. We're just annoyed at that lack of materializing documenation / code. It ain't your fault, you just get the shit since you're basically AMD's only reprensative here on the forums. The joys of being the messenger, right? :/
... that seems odd, since the first time I talked about starting to work on it was just over a year ago and I said it wouldn't be quick and that we didn't know at the time what (if anything) we would end up being able to release. What do you think we "promised" ?
I guess, although to the best of my knowledge shooting messengers has *never* accomplished anything in the entire history of mankind and after the first couple of times it doesn't even make you feel any better

I don't mind having broken power savings on a desktop GPU or processor since...well..it's a desktop. It's always plugged into the mains.
What I cannot stand are broken power savings on mobile AMD hardware. So please prioritize those over your desktop hardware.

by Kristen Schaub Serious sound from compact bookshelf speakers PSB's Image B5s deliver engaging, dynamic sound with music and movies alike. They feature an attractively compact design, making them an ideal option for a stereo setup in smaller rooms, or as rear-channel speakers in a multi-channel home theater system. The Image line borrows from driver technologies developed for PSB's sophisticated Imagine family, as well as the top-tier Synchrony speakers, giving you high-end sound at a budget-friendly price. The Image line also features a slightly different cabinet design than its predecessors, showcasing clean lines that won't clutter up your listening room. PSB's Image speaker family (Image B5 shown second from the left) Advanced driver for clean, well-balanced sound The tweeter uses a powerful neodymium magnet for crystal-clear highs. The Image B5s each feature a 1" titanium dome tweeter that effortlessly dishes out smooth, uncolored highs. The long-excursion, high-output woofer uses the same proprietary ceramic-filled polypropylene cone as the Imagine line. The stiff, lightweight material helps it deliver midrange that's clean and balanced, with surprisingly deep bass. You'll also marvel at the detailed imaging, and wide soundstage produced by these compact speakers. Sleek, thoughtful cabinet design All Image speakers have heavy internal bracing and 1-1/8" thick MDF cabinets to ensure impressively solid, acoustically inert enclosures. The cabinets have a traditional look that's softened by slightly curved panels. This family of speakers also features attractive vinyl finishes, allowing the Image speakers to easily integrate into just about any décor. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

From the review TEAC AG-H380 and PSB Image B5 speakers small system, big sound "In the short time that I had the TEAC AG-H380 system at home, my family and I came to truly love having it in the living room. Its small size, unobtrusive good looks, and surprising sound quality won my wife over immediately. While I have no doubt that the AG-H380 could play well with other small, reasonably efficient speakers (and I know that the B5s sound fantastic with other receivers), the combination of these two together achieves such a synergy, that it almost seems as if they were made to go together."

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.
No buyer's Remorse Written By Rich, National City, CA on Friday, August 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I always thought that PSB line was outside of my price-range until I saw this amazing deal on the Crutchfield website - Image B5s discounted from. The specifications on these speakers are actually almost identical to those of the much higher priced Imagine line. The only difference I can detect is that the Imagines have a more polished finish. The only qualms I had prior to purchase were due to the fact that there are very few professional reviews of this model available for heavy researchers like myself. Ultimately, I placed trust in the reviews of previous purchasers and the rather stellar reputation of PBS as a whole. I was not disappointed. I'm also not surprised to hear that these have sold out on Crutchfield. These speakers would have been a good value even at their original MSRP. Pros: Solid build quality. Crisp highs. Tight, punchy lows. No real need for a subwoofer for music alone. Cons: None
Great Speaker Written By Mark D, Copley OH on Tuesday, August 05, 2014 Let me start out by saying I compared this speaker side by side to the Polk RTiA1. While the Polks had a nicer finish and look, the PSB was built better and had all gold-plated connectors. The Polk is definitely a brighter speaker, which might get to be a little too much at higher volumes. The B5 had better overall balance and imaging. During several passages of music, I found myself in awe of what was being heard. Don't get me wrong both speakers are very good and you can't go wrong with either one. I felt myself being drawn back to the PSB B5s. The regular cost is a little pricey. However, when discounted, they become a steal. I have them paired in my office with an Energy ESW-M8 subwoofer, which was also a steal. It makes quite an impressive combination for under $500. Pros: Clear and clean, great imaging, well-built Cons: A little pricey, not the best looking speaker
Great Buy Written By bpater, Austin,TX on Monday, June 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Loving these speakers so far. Nice clear sound and I'm especially impressed by the lows for a bookshelf speaker. Pros: Full sound Nice Lows Will get loud
Very Pleased Written By BobB, Fort Myers, FL on Friday, March 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these for a simple 2.1 channel audio system to listen to music CD's in our vacation home. Powered by a Yamaha R-S700 connected to an Onkyo C7030 CD player along with an Infinity PS38 sub. For about $1500 in the entire system I'm quite pleased. The PSB B5's are neutral with nice clarity and detail without being harsh. Being bookshelf speakers they definitely need a sub and the Infinity PS38 integrates nicely with them. I originally tried this speaker combo with the Marantz NR1403 home theater receiver and a Samsung Blueray player but music CD's sounded processed and muddy by comparison. Lesson learned that for good quality two channel audio there's no substitute for a dedicated 2 channel amp or receiver and a CD player at least in this price range. My 2-channel system at my primary home consists of JM Lab Electra's, M&K sub, Rotel CD player and B&K separate power amp and preamp/tuner at 6 times the cost and although obviously not the equal this small system is satisfying our needs for our purposes here. Very pleased and Crutchfield support is excellent. Pros: Neutrality, clarity, detail, smoothness. A quality product for the price. Cons: Bass, but that will always be a problem with bookshelf speakers. The Infinity PS38 solved this nicely
Excellent Written By BobS, Seward, Alaska on Tuesday, July 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent service - the product arrived when they said it would - no mean feat for Alaska. The speakers rival the old floor standing (kenwood) speakers I had on another system and are easy to set up and sound fantastic. Pros: Great sound - small space. The set up its easy and precise. Well worth the cost. I have them as my primary speakers for the Onkyo receiver to play my IPOD music . The staff at Crutchfield suggested this set up for the IPOD to replace a docking speaker system. I can't be happier with the results. Cons: None
PSB Image B5 Written By RJ, Cumming,GA on Saturday, April 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These PSB-B5 replaced 15 year old Polk RT-5. I have a 5.1 set up. The B5 are my main R-L. Ctr is a Yamaha and the rear are Dayton. Wolf is a Polk 10. The ceilings are 12 ft high. Amp is a Denon 1912. These are really book shelf speakers. I listened to George Jones all day and these are good speakers and they fit in the bookshelf perfectly. I was a little skeptic because they were rear ports but they are great. If size is important as it was for me, get these they won't disappoint. Had to turn the wolf down. Build quality seems to better than my old Polks, look great. Pros: Great highs Cons: none
PSB B5 Review Written By Bill Z, Las Vegas, NV on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers to replace an old pair of Infinity Reference speakers that just didn't have the clarity I was used to anymore. I use these as back speakers in a 5.1 setup that is 90 percent used for music. I spoke to the staff at Crutchfield and they recommended the B5's based on the info I gave them. I chose the dark cherry version. I received the speakers in less than a week and it only took a couple of minutes to decide I had made the correct choice. The speakers are very solid and though a little dark in the cherry finish they look great, especially with the covers off. If you like your music crystal clear like I do then I believe removing the grills is the way to go. They fit seamlessly into the rest of my system and I couldn't be happier. I was able to get a discount for an open box unit and there wasn't a mark on them. It is great to have the Crutchfield staff just a phone call away for questions and solutions! Pros: Good solid speaker Crystal clear sound Great for the price range Cons: None
One of the most musical speakers I've ever heard Written By GabeS, Iowa on Friday, June 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed a great set of bookshelf speakers for a 5.1 system, but since the room they're going in is very limited in space, they had to be small. A very tall order, but no one has a better reputation for making big-sounding small speakers than PSB (just look at their Imagine Mini's). As much as I would've loved to grab their step up Image B6's, they were just a tad too big for where they were going, so I settled on the Image B5's. The sub would reproduce all I lost in bass anyways. I couldn't be happier. To test these, I first hooked them up to my Denon 1912, unplugged my subwoofer, and played some lossless music. WOW. These things sound huge! When I close my eyes I forget how small they are. Bass isn't comparable to having a sub, but what's there is deep and full. If you just get these for music, you may not need to add a subwoofer. The quality that struck me most was how musical the B5's sounded. The laid back highs, smooth mids, and tight bass blended so well that I just sat back and lost myself in the music. They sound so good that I'm considering replacing all my speakers with PSB's. But before I went that far, I wanted to test them in a home theater setup. I paired them with a PSB Image C5 center speaker and Image B4's for the surrounds. I just used my existing Klipsch sub. Lo and behold, these things sound just as good on movies as they do music. Game of Thrones sounded full and epic, while Up sounded crisp and light. I can't recommend these enough. Buy them now! Pros: Small, but sound much bigger. They sound equally amazing with music and movies, which isn't always the case. They look good for the wife too. Relatively cheap for a speaker of this quality. Cons: Bass isn't quite as prominent as the step-up B6's. If you have a sub, this is a non-issue, if not, consider going with the B6's.
Great Sound in Small Package Written By 3-Pointer, Brentwood, CA on Wednesday, June 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good mid-range and high-ends with responsive bass for a relatively small speaker. Definitely worth the money. Pros: Compact, handsome, great range Cons: None for speaker this size.
PSB Image B5 Written By Jaydee, Seattle on Saturday, March 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I connected these to one of my Sonos 120 (2x55W) boxes. They are an excellent as 2ch bedroom setup. Enough bass with wonderful mids and highs. I'm sure that they would be a great choice for a multi-channel system with the addition of a sub.
PSB Image B5 Speakers Written By JoeR, Bothell, WA on Saturday, February 12, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The PSB Image B5 Speakers are reviewed elsewhere as excellent speakers for their size. After installing them as front speakers for an audio/video system, I agreed with everything I read about these speakers. I feel, for this price range, you cannot do much better. They are great for 2 channel audio, or as part of a 5 channel surround sound system.

With a record of 85-77 the Orioles missed out on the playoffs in '13.

For additional park information, please visit the Battery Conservancy website.
For more than 200 years, Battery Park has been an invaluable part of New York City's history. In 1855, Castle Garden, situated inside the Park, became the world's first immigrant depot. Decades before Ellis Island was built or the Statue of Liberty gazed down at incoming boats, millions of newcomers arrived at Battery Park from Europe and elsewhere.
Although its role has changed, people from around the world still visit Battery Park for a view of the city's past. Ferries dock at its shore to pick up visitors to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and all summer long concerts play on its grounds.
Its beautiful waterfront and flower gardens make Battery Park a lovely place to wander. For those who'd like a longer stroll, the park's location at the southern tip of Manhattan makes it a classic starting point for walking tours through the city.

Phoronix: NVIDIA Pushes Out New Driver With No Change-Log
It was just one week ago that NVIDIA released the 180.37 Linux driver, but already there is a new bleeding-edge release available. Last night a NVIDIA Linux engineer pushed out the 185.13 beta...
lol, NVIDIA doesn't talk and/or do promises. They work.
+10 to NVIDIA.
Maybe it's a Friday the 13th joke... what ever state the driver was in at the end of the day... you got it, good luck (or bad luck if you are superstitious).
what's new is here is
a small typo you might want to fix
the n is missing, but what this release consists of actually isn't known.
Got an 7300GS here and it didn't work for me. I couldn't install it. It gave me an error that it couldn't create the nvidia.ko.
So, I assume that my GPU isn't supported. I had to go back to the 180.37.
SLI in auto mode works once again.
doesn't seem like fit for a beta release. gnome-bluetooth crashes in gentoo (blocked signal whatever) like in 180.35,37 and apparently quite a few issues from a cursory look at nvnews linux forums.

Carpenter set for rehab start
After throwing 56 pitches to three Cardinals batters Wednesday and generally impressing everyone who saw him - including his toughest critic, himself - the New Hampshire native and Trinity High of Manchester, N.H., graduate will begin what could be as long as a 30-day medical rehabilitation option when he starts for the Cardinals' Class AA club in a Texas League game against Arkansas.
Matheny said Carpenter would be targeted to throw 60-some pitches in his first taste of competition since he lasted just four innings in Game 6 at San Francisco of the National League Championship Series last year.
Robinson, who had faced the right-hander once before this season in an aborted comeback bid, said Carpenter was "very impressive. After my first two at-bats, I had to turn it up a notch. If I'm in a game and I'm facing him three times, he probably would have won the battle today. He's just fine-tuning his stuff right now. When he's done, it's going to be fun to watch.
"There's definitely some excitement about starting the process to get back," said Carpenter, who also has been waylaid a couple of times this year by lower back issues.
Carpenter said. "I've got to prove I can stay healthy and prove I'm good enough to take one of these guys' spots (in the rotation) because what I've done in the past doesn't mean I get an opportunity to kick someone out of here when we're doing so well."

Why Is Nightmare On Elm Street 2 So Gay!?
The homoerotic undertones in Nightmare on Elm Street 2 : Freddy's Revenge are pretty well documented and oft discussed among the die hard horror community ; particularly the repressed homosexuality of the lead character, Jesse. It has been several years since I have seen the film and perhaps was not keen enough to pick up on all the gay-ness back in the day, but there's gotta be a reason why it's my least favorite in the franchise, right? Well I was feeling a little gay today and I decided to pop the dvd in for the sole purpose of picking out every last homosexual morsel that I could find in it and answering the question of Nightmare 2's queerness once and for all. Now I am not a homophobe in any way shape or form. In fact, there was a gay kid in my high school who I even contemplated being friends with at one point, but this movie just has way too much gay in it to chalk it up to coincidence. Something is fishy here. Here's what i've come up with.
First off, a few observations before we even delve into the film itself. Let me begin my case by saying that while the director of the film, Jack Sholder, denies any intention for the homosexual undertones in the film, he has since stated that after watching the film over again, he can see where we're comin from on this one. Also, the actor who plays main character Jesse, Mark Patton, is actually gay in real life. Not off to a very good start...How about the official poster for the film? Check it out :
The man of your dreams is back? Hm. The man of your dream's is bareback, is more like it. The image on this poster is also very telling. On one hand, Jesse with a girl, on the other, Jesse's true reflection of his homosexual nature, shown as being very frightening and ugly. You mean to tell me this shit wasn't intended to spark up gay controversy? Puh-leaze. Ok, on to the movie.
First and foremost ; the plot of the film. It's not your typical Elm Street fare. Freddy is trying to enter the body of young Jesse (that should raise a rainbow flag) in order to make him do his bidding for him. Now I aint sayin Freddy's gay, but why would he wanna enter a teenage boys body? The film is not even so much about Freddy as it is about Jesse coming to terms with a man entering him in his dreams, and his attempts to accept that. Another issue tackled is Jesse's lady friend trying to get the man she loves back from the grasps of another man, Freddy. You're fightin a losing battle, honey.
Right off the bat, within the first 20 minutes, we are treated to Jesse's sweaty half nude body way more then we should be. Once is fine. Hell, maybe even two or three times. But seeing the dude in his sweaty man-ties several times over just gets a little bit too exciting.
A few minutes into the film, I noticed some very peculiar pieces of "art" hanging in Jesse's home. I've never heard of anyone pointing this one out before. See if you can spot them...
To me that looks like a penis on the left and a....cock on the right. Subliminal gay imagery? I think so.
Less then 10 minutes into the film we are witness to our first big gay scene. Jesse and his friend get into a fight on the baseball field in gym class. Fight is actually quite the overstatement, however. Jesse's friend de-pants him, revealing nothing but a jock strap, to which Jesse retaliates by tackling his queer friend and attempting to remove his shirt :
Typical high school shenanigans? Ok, maybe. I'll let it slide.
What I cannot let slide however is what I saw just a few short minutes later. I'll let this one speak for itself :
This may very well be the gayest scene ever committed to celluloid. In fact, if this were the only scene that supported the gay theory in the entire film, i'd still have my suspicions about it. God only knows where that wooden thing has been...
In the same scene I noticed a few peculiarities in Jesse's room. First off, the sign on his door :
No chicks, eh? It looks like the sign says something along the lines of "no out of town chicks" but the dominant words in the sign speak its message pretty clearly. And what about the game in Jesse's closet :
While in his room, Jesse's female friend, who we can be pretty sure is nothing more then a friend, finds a diary hidden in his closet. The same closet Jesse is hidden in. The diary belongs to Nancy from Elm Street 1 and the passage that is chosen to be read is, in my opinion, no coincidence. "Sometimes when i'm lying here in bed, I can see Glen in his window across the way getting ready for bed. His body is slim and smooth and I know I shouldn't watch him, but that part of me that wants him forces me to..thats when I weaken, that's when I wanna go to him." The inner monologue of Jesse, to a tee. Betcha wish Johnny Depp was still in that window across the way, eh buddy?
Aaaaaand here's where it all goes just a little bit too gay. Jesse, now body taken over by Freddy, walks into the S&M club that his gym teacher frequents. Yes, his gym teacher is into that shit, and they make a point of it. Freddy/Jesse ties the gym teacher up in the showers and proceeds to slap his ass with a towel until its bright red and blistery. I shit you not :
I could stop here, I think i've more then proven my point, but this is all just too amusing. How bout this one. Jesse is terrified of the realization of his homosexuality, and seeks comfort in his friend, Grady :
Something is trying to get inside your body, alright. And I think it's your best friend.
While not a reflection of homosexuality per se, Nightmare 2 is the only Elm Street film to not feature the traditional theme music. Pretty gay, if ya ask me. On top of that, no pun intended, Freddy appears in just 13 minutes of the 87 minute run time. Not even he want's to be a part of his own movie. I wonder why.
Now look, I understand the fact that if you're really looking hard for something you will find it, whether you're just convincing yourself of it or not. Some of these points may be stretches and I may be creating them to amuse myself...but I really really don't think so in his case. My conclusion? Nightmare on Elm Street 2, intended or unintended, is the gayest horror film of all time. And if ya ask me, i'm prone to say this homosexuality was fully intended. It is not fathomable for me to believe that no one making this film noticed until it was too late. Someone's to blame here and I suggest he step up and admit his attempts to turn Freddy queer. Luckily, Freddy triumphed and kept the red and green sweater in favor of the rainbow one it seemed he was headed to slap on.
As one final note, it's certaintly not only the fans who recognize this. Check out this clip from the Nightmare Series Encylopedia (Disc 8 in the Nightmare collection) wherein the director and production manager discuss the phenomenon :
So what do you think? Leave a comment and let me know.

All right, so why do we care how gay this movie is? Maybe if the guys who wrote and directed it were actually gay it would have had a chance to be good (ouch, who said that?). I doubt there is a gay man (or a straight woman for that matter) who would have ever cast Mark Patton as the lead role of Jesse. Why would Freddy want to get inside of that when he could have had Grady.
We all know that the word gay is commonly used in a derogatory way, so in your defense I will too say that this film is Gay, as in a over the top stupid bad acting waste of time. If you want to talk about a gay movie, how about one with a dozen half naked guys sun bathing on top of a bus? And who can forget the guys taking a piss together in the open field (We can't). I'm talking about Jeepers 2. Now you have me second-guessing why I liked it so much. Hmmm, was it good or just gay?
Bottom line, I'm sure we all agree that if Nightmare 2 wants to stay in the closet, lets lock the door! (Just let us keep Nancy's diary.)
We enjoyed your blog, look forward to the rest. - September 11, 2008 at 1:01 PM
Grady had a poster of Limahl in his room. Now that is gay, in any sense of the word.

I am so happy I decided to type "Elm Street 2 gay undertones" into Google this morning out of boredom, because I may never have came across this excellent post, Johnny!
Hah, never noticed the penis like ornaments on the wall, awesome!
I think I hold this film higher on the Elm St. roster than most people. I appreciate it for just how Un-Freddy it is. Plus, it is the last film in the series to show Fred before he became a stand up comedian (disregarding Final Nightmare).
As an innocent child, this was all way over my head. And people can say that you can find undertones in anything if you are looking for them, but with this particular film, there are just too many to believe the director when he says it was more or less... accidental.
The swimming pool scene is one of the greatest moments in Elm St. history, as is the bizarre finale which includes a melting Kruger, a giant rat eating a cat and dogs with dude heads. I love this movie for how fucked up it is.
I think a drinking game is in order. - February 24, 2011 at 6:11 AM
don't forget the Kate Bush poster Jesse had hanging in his room. i mean.

I think you are missing the fact that Freddy is a child molester. (at least that was Wes Craven original intention) - January 27, 2012 at 5:07 AM

You know, when I've tried to point out the homosexual undertones you've just mentioned to my slasher film compatriots they look at me like I'm nuts. Thank you for helping to confirm my theory on ANOES 2

You once CONSIDERED being friends with someone gay in high school? How sweet of you... Obviously ANOES 2 has homosexual undertones in it. So trying to convey such little things such as a "cock" wall ornament is kinda stretching it honestly. This film is unique in the way that it is more psychological than your typical slasher flick. Freddy represents that side of Jesse that he doesn't want to express. That sets it apart from the other NOES movies. Part 2 is actually my favorite right after New Nightmare. Now I'm all for one expressing his or her opinions but you did so in such a bias way. Its pretty clear that you have a problem with homosexuality, and as a result ANOES 2.

The director can deny it all he wants, But in "never sleep again," the documentary on the nightmare series, the writer of this movie explicitly stated that the homoerotic subtext was all intentional.

This movie was just shown this weekend at the Baltimore Queer Film Festival. No, you aren't imagining all those cues.
You're missing only one thing: the AIDS analogy. This movie was released in '85, which means that it was probably written in '84. Up until right around that time, we didn't even know what caused AIDS ("can you get it from kissing? what if someone coughs near me?"). It was damn scary.
With AIDS, something unknown invades your body, takes over, and it's murderous; once it's infected you, you can't control it...it will take over. One of the symptoms of AIDS is night sweats; Jesse wakes up soaked in sweat every day.
No matter which way you cut it, it's a pretty negative portrayal of gay people and what gay people go through. But, then again, it's a not-very-good C grade horror movie. (I loved the first one, tho.) - June 15, 2014 at 6:55 AM

Well...as far Freddy going after a teenage boy...he WAS a child molester in life...who went after little girls AND BOYS...it's not a far streach that Freddy being a pedaphile who went after both boys and girls...wouldn't go after a boy in his dreams.

I don't know why people keep saying Freddy was a child molester, he wasn't. In the remake he's an "accused" child molester but in the original he's a child murderer. No kid diddling just kid stabbing.
