Let's say Nintendo made you director for a new pokemon game. What would you do and what would you add? Also, it doesn't have to follow the traditional Pokemon games.
I just want to hear what people have to say.
Let's say Nintendo made you director for a new pokemon game. What would you do and what would you add? Also, it doesn't have to follow the traditional Pokemon games.
I just want to hear what people have to say.
I would change the battle system to a real time battle system for home consoles, but you wouldn't control your pokemon directly. Instead, your pokemon would be controlled by artificial intillegence (AI).
It would still play the same, you select an attack, but you would have to hit the "A" button to confirm/command the attack. So the trainer on screen will "say" (the text will show on the bottom "Ash: Pikachu! Use Thunder Shock" or "Ash commanded an attack! But pikachu is loafing around") Just like how the game say "Pikachu use volt tackle" or "The wild weedle use string shot."
Here is where it's different, the pokemon will use the same attack it used last. Just like on the show. The pokemon will use the same attack until it runs out of PP to use or commanded to use another.
Every pokemon can fight with out using their actual attacks. Pikachu can run around and claw or gnaw at an opponent/wild pokemon with out using PP.
This is the difference between wild and trained pokemon.
A wild pikachu may know thunder shock, but you will never find a wild pikachu that knows thunderbolt, volt tackle, rain dance, or any other attack that requires leveling up or a TM. Wild pokemon have "natural" attacks where as trained pokemon have "trained/learned" attacks.
And since wild pokemon don't really train or level up, this will explain why you don't see to many evolved pokemon in the wild.
So yeah, pokemon run around and battle each other and you as a trainer don't have to enter any attacks at all. By doing this, your pokemon will act feral when it reaches level 100. The more training and disciplined your pokemon is it will be apperent when your pokemon reaches level 100. Battling pokemon will actually teach your pokemon things, your pokemon will learn how to battle better. There will be a difference between a level 100 pokemon who was trained since level 45 and one since level 1.
Legendary Pokemon will act more wild in battle compared to non legendary pokemon because of their level. This doesn't make them any weaker, it just means that the more experience a pokemon has... the more aware it is in battle.
Let's say this:
Who will win in a fight, a body builder who has 4 years experience in Karate or an average Joe with 8 years experience in Karate?
The body builder is a lot stronger than the regular Joe, but since the regular Joe has more experience, it's possible that either one could win in a fight.
The same can be said about legendaries and regular pokemon in my real time system. The relation you have can also influence the way your pokemon battles too. A pokemon can have it's happiness to it's max, which can help it motivate it in battle. But at the same idea, a pokemon with its happiness all the way down can use that frustration to keep it going in battle.
How you train is up to you. You can battle with your pokemon and beleiving in your pokemon's abilities like Ash... or you can train your pokemon so that they develop attack technique just like Gary trains his pokemon. Or you can train your pokemon so they can rely on each other like a team or train each of your pokemon hard so that they don't have to rely on each other. It all depends on you.
Of course this will take a lot of coding and programming and seems very complex, which is a reason why I want Nintendo to stop adding new pokemon, work on the battle system, and add things you to what you can do with your pokemon.
Also, I would add a "dodge" command. Let's say you battled many charizards and noticed that charizard has to buff up it's chest before it uses flamethrower. Your pokemon don't notice this, but you as the trainer can command your pokemon to "dodge." Of course you can't dodge every attack, it's just gives you a 35% chance of avoiding an attack. But consider that an opponents attack must be aimed. All attacks now have a range and become weaker or stronger at certain distances.
They are adding "dodge" to the pokewalker and I think it's a good idea, but that's my opinion and I"m sure there are more people against my thought.
I haven't seen the show in a real long time so I'm not sure.
I would like to add realistic physics to the game so it feels more authentic to our world. Easier to imagine pokemon being actual animals and such. I'm sure there are a lot of us that sometimes wish pokemon were actually real.
I stopped watching when Ash got his badge from Clair back in the day in Johto.
The show messed up a lot back then when calling attacks.
Not surprised about that though...
I know, and I think his pikachu is the ONLY pokemon in the entire pokemon world that can OHKO a graveler with thundershock
Fine, level 14 Monferno.
To be fair, I don't watch it in English anymore. And actually, watching it in Japanese is like discovering the show all over again. Not stupid puns, no annoying voices; it seems a lot more serious that the American version makes it out to be.
That's probably why the movies keep getting sold out at theaters in Japan. xD
That's what I keep hearing.
Once at Pokebeach on one of their Podcasts, one of the members from Japan was saying that the show was taken more seriously than in America.
If the show wasn't targeted to children in America, more people would say that they enjoy playing pokemon.
I know that you were not targeting your post to me, but I just want to comment on your opinion.
I never said the show is getting old. I want to be able to go out in the public and not have people stare at me while having a little pokemon key-chain. I have a squirtle hanging off my M16 out here in Iraq! I was told to remove it because it didn't reflect professionalism.
Anyway, I still have it as a keychain. My platoon makes fun of me for liking pokemon, but I don't talk about it or say much about like the other guys who play World Of Warcraft. They talk about grinding, getting gold, going through some swamp, casting magic, and some other thing I don't understand at all...
but when I say "Get a life! The sun actually exists." they retort with:
"Why should I listen to you? You play Pokemon."
That makes me angry because they play to, but I don't deny the fact that I do play pokemon.
Eh. I see people at school all the time wear pokemon keychains and play the games. Someone stole my Pikachu keychain though.
But I'd say it's still popular. The old fans are still clinging to it and I saw a little five year old playing Platinum so there's always new fans to keep the franchise going.
But yeah, comparing America and Japan... Well, Pokemon is like the "Disney" of Japan. It isn't going to die out soon, that's for sure.
I'm not saying that it isn't popular, what I'm saying it's normal for people in your age group to like pokemon and is expected. But when they see an adult who likes pokemon, it's something to be made fun of.
Hmm, I never thought of that. That seems a bit immature of the mocking adults though. xP
Those adults are the ones who are still mentally stuck in high school.
What I mean is that they treat every situation they are in as if they are still high school students.
I have a guy who calls me a nerd simple because I wear glasses... but I don't play video games often, actually, almost never except when I play pokemon.
The other times I'm drawing or working.
MAH! Anyway, Nintendo needs to quit targeting just children but a wider audience that loves pokemon.

I still don't understand what the goal is for this puzzle. Is it to free the wooden circle - I can do that in 6 seconds. Is it to unlock the lock? - even the poor instructions don't show that. Is there a key hidden in the wood somewhere that I'm supposed to find? Again the goal and instructions are not telling me anything. Also: my puzzle looks kind of beat up. Especially the lock. Is this second hand or even third? Really wanted to like this puzzle but just can't.

Development of Surface Micromachinable Capacitive Accelerometer using Fringe Electrical Field
S. Aoyagi1, and Y.-C. Tai21Robot & Microsystem Laboratory, Kansai University, Osaka, Japan
2Caltech Micromachining Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA
A new type of accelerometer is demonstrated which consists of a dielectric seismic mass and a comb-shaped planar capacitor underneath it. The simple structure of the device allows the use of polymer Parylene as the proof mass, so the technology is greatly simplified and only surface micromachining is required.
The measuring principle is detecting capacitance change according to the dielectric mass movement in the fringe electrical field. This principle is verified by FEM simulation.

How to repair your fence or gate
Wooden gates and fences can be prone to rot, or to attacks by insects. To prolong their life, try and treat them regularly with wood preservative. It's also a good idea to avoid piling earth up against your fence, and to fit gravel boards at its base.
Top tip - Wood preservative
A coat of preservative will dramatically extend the life of your fence or gate, as most treatments keep fungi and insects at bay for several years. As the wood needs to be completely dry, the best time to apply it is in late summer after a dry period, and when no rain is expected for a day or so. Paint it on with a block paintbrush or use a garden pressure spray - making sure to wear protective gloves (and safety goggles and a mask too, if you're spraying).

Love love love
This skirt looks great with everything. It is the perfect day to evening skirt.
April 18, 2013
Loved this skirt. It's very flattering. Got it in tan and black. Perfect length. I usually wear a 4, but needed a 6 because it was a little tight in the butt and thighs.
April 10, 2013
A great black skirt for work. I tried the 0 and 2. The 2 was too big and the 0 a little snug. But the saleslady at The Limited said it would probably give throughout the day since it is stretchy and I agree so I went with the 0. The fit is phenomenal- looks professional but also not like you're swimming in it.
April 7, 2013
Simple but Perfect for Any Event
I wanted just a simple black pencil skirt that fit perfect - found it! The material is a little stiffer than anticipated but that means it won't wrinkle as easy!
Dress it up or keep it simple, this is the skirt for you! True to size.

Great pencil skirt
If you are looking for a black pencil skirt, look no further. This is a great, high-quality material that is comfortable and flattering. It is perfect for work but also sexy enough to wear out. I feel it is true to size.

In April 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) decided that listing the greater sage-grouse for protection under the Endangered Species Act was "warranted but precluded." The FWS is going to decide whether the greater sage-grouse should be listed in fiscal year (FY) 2015 based on the court-approved settlement agreement. The settlement agreement requires the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service to include clear objectives and desired habitat conditions, management actions, and area-wide standards and guidelines in the land-use plans and amendments for each involved unit by winter 2015.

When one puts cocaine on a girl's asshole with the intent to lick it off.
After we got back from the club and started making out, I began to go down on my girlfriend when she ask me if I'd put a little salt on the rim. I said I had already had too much to drink but if she wanted another martini I'd go fix her one. The situation was clarified when she whipped out a small plate of cocaine...then I knew what sort of cocktail she was after.

Official Title: | PET Evaluation of Brain Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptors Using (11C)PBR28 in HIV-Seropositive Patients With (MCMD) |
- Brain uptake of [11C]PBR28 (measured as distribution volume). [ Time Frame: One brain PET scan in one outpatient visit to NIH per subject. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Enrollment: | 40 |
Study Start Date: | April 2007 |
Study Completion Date: | April 2014 |
Primary Completion Date: | April 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Drug: [11C]PBR28
The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is distinct from central benzodiazepine receptors associated with GABAa receptors. Although PBR was initially identified in peripheral organs such as kidneys, endocrine glands and lungs, later studies identified PBR in the central nervous system. In normal conditions, PBR is expressed in low levels in some neurons and glial cells. PBR can be a clinically useful marker to detect neuroinflammation, because activated microglial cells in inflammatory areas express much greater levels of PBR than in microglial cells in resting conditions.
PBR has been imaged with positron emission tomography (PET) using [11C]1-(2-chlorophenyl-N-methylpropyl)-3-isoquinoline carboxamide (PK11195). However, this classical ligand provides low levels of specific signal. Recently we developed a new ligand, N-acetyl-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)-2-phenoxy-5-pyridinamine [11C]PBR28, which showed much greater specific signal than [11C]PK11195 in non-human primates. ln the present protocol we plan to perform a kinetic brain imaging study with [11C]PBR28 in HlV-seronegative controls, HIV-seropositive, non-impaired patients, and HlV-seropositive patients with minor cognitive motor disorder(MCMD). Each subject will recieve a brain-dedicated PET scan with 20 mCi[(11)C]PBR28.

Compatibility with SysV
systemd provides a fair degree of compatibility with the behavior exposed by the SysV init system as implemented by many distributions. Compatibility is provided both for the user experience and the SysV scripting APIs. However, there are some areas where compatibility is limited due to technical reasons or design decisions of systemd and the distributions. All of the following applies to SysV init scripts handled by systemd, however a number of them matter only on specific distributions. Many of the incompatibilities are specific to distribution-specific extensions of LSB/SysV init.
- If your distribution removes SysV init scripts in favor of systemd unit files typing "/etc/init.d/foobar start" to start a service will not work, since the script will not be available. Use the more correct "/sbin/service foobar start" instead, and your command will be forwarded to systemd. Note that invoking the init script directly has always been suboptimal since too much of the caller's execution context (environment block, umask, resource limits, audit trails, ...) ended up being inherited by the service, and invocation via "/sbin/service" used to clean this up at least partially. Invocation via /sbin/service works on both SysV and systemd systems. Also, LSB only standardizes invocation via "/sbin/service" anyway. (Note that some distributions ship both systemd unit files and SysV scripts for the services. For these invoking the init scripts will work as expected and the request be forwarded to systemd in any case.)
- LSB header dependency information matters. The SysV implementations on many distributions did not use the dependency information encoded in LSB init script headers, or used them only in very limited ways. Due to that they are often incorrect or incomplete. systemd however fully interprets these headers and follows them closely at runtime (and not at installation time like some implementations).
- Timeouts apply to all init script operations in systemd. While on SysV systems a hanging init script could freeze the system on systemd all init script operations are subject to a timeout of 5min.
- Services are executed in completely clean execution contexts, no context of the invoking user session is inherited. Not even $HOME or similar are set. Init scripts depending on these will not work correctly.
- Services cannot read from stdin, as this will be connected to /dev/null. That means interactive init scripts are not supported (i.e. Debian's X-Interactive in the LSB header is not supported either.) Thankfully most distributions do not support interaction in init scripts anyway. If you need interaction to ask disk or SSL passphrases please consider using the minimal password querying framework systemd supports. (details, manual page)
- Additional verbs for init scripts are not supported. If your init script traditionally supported additional verbs for your init script simply move them to an auxiliary script.
- Additional parameters to the standard verbs (i.e. to "start", "stop" and "status") are not supported. This was an extension of SysV that never was standardized officially, and is not supported in systemd.
- systemd only stops running services. On traditional SysV a K link installed for shutdown was executed when going down regardless whether the service was started before or not. systemd is more strict here and does not stop service that weren't started in the first place.
- Runlevels are supported in a limited fashion only. SysV runlevels are mapped to systemd target units, however not all systemd target units map back to SysV runlevels. This is due to the fact that systemd targets are a lot more flexible and expressive than SysV runlevels. That means that checks for the current runlevel (with /sbin/runlevel or so) may well return "N" (i.e. unknown runlevel) during normal operation. Scripts that rely on explicit runlevel checks are incompatible with many setups. Avoid runlevel checks like these.
- Tools like /sbin/chkconfig might return misleading information when used to list enablement status of services. First of all, the tool will only see SysV services, not native units. Secondly, it will only show runlevel-related information (which does not fully map to systemd targets). Finally, the information shown might be overridden by a native unit file.
- By default runlevels 2,3,4 are all aliases for "multi-user.target". If a service is enabled in one of these runlevels, they'll be enabled in all of these. This is only a default however, and users can easily override the mappings, and split them up into individual runlevels if they want. However, we recommend moving on from runlevels and using the much more expressive target units of systemd.
- Early boot runlevels as they are used by some distributions are no longer supported. i.e. "fake", distribution-specific runlevels such as "S" or "b" cannot be used with systemd.
- By default, System V services are not permitted to acquire realtime scheduling, even with root privileges. See MyServiceCantGetRealtime for details, and what to do about it.
Note that there are some areas where systemd currently provides a certain amount of compatibility where we expect this compatibility to be removed eventually.

One of the sons of Adam and Eve and possible the first vampire. After he killed Abel he was banished and nature would no longer support him with fruits and plants to eat. Although it doesn't say what happened to him after his banishment he may have had to result to cannibalistic behavior to survive thus becoming the first vampire.
Cain was marked so that no person would help him and nature would not support him.

SUBJECT: Volleyball Rounds out the Marauder Clash with a 3-2 Win over West Chester, Finished 3-2 for the Tournament
Set scores against West Chester were 23-25, 25-19, 25-21, 18-25 and 15-12.
Leading the way offensive for the Wildcats was senior Nicole Wiechecki and freshman Kaitlin DiGiacinto. Wiechecki finished the match with a team best 15 kills on 35 swings while DiGiacinto ended with 14 terminations on 40 swings. DiGiacinto also collected a team best four service aces and added a block assist for a team high 18.5 points for the match.
Sophomore setter Kasey Couch dished out 24 assists while freshman Alex Siolos chipped in with 17 helpers. The two setters helped run an offense that collected 55 kills and a .263 attack percentage.
Defensively, the Wildcats were led by five separate individuals who picked up at least five digs a piece. Siolos led the way with seven, followed by Annie Scarfo and Wiechecki with six each, and Couch and DiGiacinto with five each.
Brittany Biddle held the defensive front at the net, swatting away three solo blocks and adding three block assists. Katie Shorter picked up six block assists in the win while Brooke Foskey and Wiechecki added four block-assists each.
Earlier in on Saturday, the Wildcats dropped a pair of close contests, falling to Quincy, 3-1, to start the day and dropping a five-setter to Concord in the early afternoon.
Set scores against Quincy were 25-14, 20-25, 21-25, and 23-25.
Set Scores against Concord were 24-26, 28-26, 25-23, 19-25, and 11-15.
In the early contest against Quincy, Wiechecki again led the offensive attack, picking up 13 kills while only committing one error on 25 attempts for a .480 attack percentage.
Other notable numbers for the match against Quincy were the 11.5 total team blocks. Shorter, Biddle and DiGiacinto led the defensive unit up front with two solo blocks a piece. Shorter added three block assists while Biddle and DiGiacinto contributed two each.
During the second match of the day against Concord, the middle blockers came out in a huge way. Biddle checked in with one solo block, but aided on 10 block assists and chipped in five kills for 11 points. Foskey added seven block assists off the bench while Siolos contributed five block assists and Shorter ended with one solo and two assists.
Again it was Wiechecki on the pins doing the most damage, finishing the Concord match with a team high 17 kills. She picked up the double-double by getting to 15 digs, and also contributed behind the line with five service aces. She collected a total of 22 points in the five-setter.
The Wildcats have a short rest following the five matches in two days as they return to the court on Wednesday for their home opener. Wilmington will square off against Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference South Division rival Holy Family to open the new Wilmington University Athletics Complex court starting at 7 p.m. Holy Family was selected to repeat as South Division champions with Wilmington selected second in the 2012 CACC Volleyball Preseason Poll
Quincy def. Wilmington, 3-1 14-25, 25-20, 25-21, 25-23

The TSP in 2013
Tuesday - 1/8/2013, 12:22am EST
For Your Benefit
January 7, 2013 -- This week on For Your Benefit hosts Bob Leins and Tammy Flanagan welcome Greg Long, executive director of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, Kim Weaver, the TSP's director of external affairs, and Laurissa Stokes, assistant general counsel, to talk about the TSP in 2013.
One of the topics discussed is the Roth TSP, which was introduced in 2012. The Roth option will allow federal plan participants to withdraw their funds tax-free in retirement. That does, however, mean that you pay taxes on the monies you contribute to your Roth TSP now.
The introduction of the Roth option into the Thrift Savings Plan has generated much discussion as to who might most benefit from such a provision. Long says that he finds that the Roth TSP is particularly popular among younger federal employees, who also earn less than their older counterparts and are therefore in a lower tax bracket at this point in their careers.
The TSP director notes that participation in the Roth plan increased greatly with its being made available to those in the military service. He says this makes sense because many younger members of the military, while they are not highly paid, do have a high degree of disposable income inasmuch as their daily needs are already provided for (the proverbial "three hots and a cot").
"They can put the money in the Roth, pay their taxes in a very low tax bracket... and, if they do it right, all their earnings associated with it are tax-free 30 and 40 and 50 years later," Long says. "For the people who are the youngest and in the lowest tax bracket, the Roth is a very attractive option."
Other topics include:
- As of Dec. 31, 2012, the G Fund is still the leader in terms of funds invested in the TSP.
- With the loss of the payroll tax "holiday" some may reduce their TSP contributions. Long says that all FERS employees should be contributing at least 5 percent of their paycheck, in order to benefit from the government's matching contributions. Otherwise, he says, "you are leaving free money on the table."

Best return your board+cpu and get intel i3/i5+b75, btw. i would use 8 or 16 gb ram, then you have got 2 or 4 of the same not differnet modules, much simpler.
Hi all!
I was excited to start the new year with a system upgrade (yeah, I know to a previous generation hardware, but an upgrade from my last, nontheless), so I got an AMD 6100 FX CPU, 12 Gigs of RAM (thinking about the "2Gigs per core" rule) and a motherboard to support it (well, most of it). I ended up getting an ASRock N68C-GS FX (I did not know about the difference between the -GS and -S was the onboard graphics [GeForce 7025]), since it is based on the nForce chipset, and my previous hardware was nForce, I thought I'd go with it as the last one was so well supported.
Well, long story short, I hooked up all the components, I ended up adding a few extra ones (my old and trusty Audigy 2 ZS and my GeForce 9800GT, MUCH better than the on-board graphics! ), disapointingly found out the motherboard only supported 8 Gigs of RAM out of the 12 I got. At any rate, I primarily run Fedora, in the current version, 17, until 18 is officially released, and got hit by two apparently different issues...
First, no LAN. Linux does recognize and configures the LAN driver as forcedeth, as it is the known driver, but the network doesn't come up! I thought, well, no problem, I have a wireless USB dongle lying around somewhere, which does the trick at getting me on to the internet, at least (Linksys WUSB54GC, based on Ralink RT2070L).
Second, and the worst one: Trying to reboot or poweroff the system results in the system freezing and a kernel panic (WTF?), this bit obviously makes me think that the problem may lie somewhere within the ACPI/APIC code, which I intend to find out before I put this baby through its paces... I first have to find out what exactly is the kernel reporting when booting. But the problem is NOT local to Fedora 17, I've tried a few other disributions in LiveUSB (Fedora 18, Mint, Ubuntu, Slax, etc), all with the very same results, no matter stable/pre-release... Which makes me think that there might be a serious regression... Will have to test with a previous version, of course (like Fedora 14 or 15), and see if this is still the case there, in which case the problem might lie in a kernel regression (hopefully)
At any rate, I was wondering if anyone else has a motherboard of this model and had these issues with it... I should add that I have updated the BIOS to the latest available version in the ASRock website (1.40) to no avail.
Best return your board+cpu and get intel i3/i5+b75, btw. i would use 8 or 16 gb ram, then you have got 2 or 4 of the same not differnet modules, much simpler.
Run latest linus' kernel, complain to lkml with the panic backtrace, ???, profit.
I would go ECC unbuffered if you select AMD, because Intel does not provide this advantage. Also, ASRock is the dumbest manufactuerer here - no forums, officially no ECC support and no Linux support. Also, it looks like ACPI problem to me too, I suggest you contact the kernel mail list to help fix both problems so that Linux is usable on more (buggy) boards, so people do not resort to one manufacturer as Kano suggests and so that Linux gets larger marketshare and not shrinking one.
To my surprise this has got to do with the onboard LAN being enabled in the BIOS! It would seem as if the forcedeth module doesn't properly set some features/firmware on the NIC. The power management issues also go away when it is enabled, so the logical explanation is that this particulare model is not properly supported by the driver or there is a bug in the driver with this particular model. When I get the time I'll try to hunt down the issue so other nForce users would also benefit... I thoguht it might be damaged, in some way, however just for kicks I attached a drive with Windows XP on it and (after an endless cycle of installing ONE driver and rebooting), lo and behold, the NIC DOES work... So no hardware damage I'll file the necessary bug reports...
In the end I may end up buying another board (this particular setup was a gift based on some requests from me)... But since I'm space constrained (given my current case "box"), now to figure out which manufacturers offer a Pro/Deluxe MoBo version with a MiniATX form factor... That might be available down here in Mexico... I intend to keep this CPU and maybe use it for my home server...
It's unlikely that onboard nic works when it is DISABLED. What logic would be behind that?
Yes, I have the fx 6100 and the n68c-gs fx as well in a custom build that I threw together almost 2 months ago. I have had the worst random freezing I have ever seen and I am absolutely dumbfounded with what is wrong. What I know with certainy is the following: it is not a RAM issue, it is not a HDD or SSD issue, it is not a PSU issue, it is not a GPU issue, it is not a jumper issue, it is not a bios update issue. I have been experimenting with swapping parts in and out and toying with every single bios setting for the last 2 months. No matter what I do, the computer still freezes randomly, it also makes some of my usb devices go on and off back and forth while letting others work properly. For instance, this morning I installed Windows 7 and updated it and used it for 3 hours before the freezing began, and I have rebooted about 30 times over the course of today and it freezes at the Windows loading screen. I have also tried booting straight from a Linux disc and it freezes as soon as I click something on the desktop screen. I am able to stay in the bios with no freezing, and I can run my super fdisk bootable partition manager disc just fine. The compatibility list for this mobo says it can use a fx 6100, but it seems to me that it can't. I don't know what to do. I've already gone $100 over budget on this PC build from misdiagnosing the problem. Let me know if you figure it out. It doesn't matter if I install XP, 7, or Linux Mint. They all freeze randomly. Sometimes it takes hours to freeze, sometimes it won't turn on for days. I was even able to install and play black ops II for an hour or so once before the freeze happened. I'm very confused. I don't know if I need to return the processor and/or motherboard or if I just need to replace one or the other; it doesn't make any sense. So, there are a total of 5 things the problem can be: 1) motherboard, 2) cpu (doubt it), 3) heatsink/fan (doubt it), 4) the case (doubt it), 5) bios settings (doubt it). I got the motherboard and the cpu and the headsink/fan all used from 3 different vendors online, so it is hard for me to narrow down which one is the problem. I have read that processors usually don't go bad and if they do then they don't even post at all which is why I doubt it is the cpu since I get the post always. The headsink/fan has one groove bent but seems fine. Is it possible that this motherboard actually does not support the fx 6100 even though asrock says it does?

That chipset is really old, AMD 970 would be old as well but maybe you can get a new revision board with UEFI support. I don't see a reason to buy the cheapest crap and then wonder why it does not work. When you buy a board with a chipset from 2006 and a cpu from end of 2011 then this is maybe not the best possible combination - it is just cheap.
True, but it is asrock's (@ssrock as I like to refer to them) fault for putting the 6100 on their compatible CPU list. Lucky for me amazon is taking the motherboard back for a full refund even though I'm passed the refund window. But seriously I can't even find a micro atx board to use with my 6100 now... The only micro atx board for it that seems possible would be the asus 760g, but I'm scared I might have the same kinds of issues. All of the 900 series boards are not micro sized ((((

"A Not So Young Man's Return Journey to Viriconium"
I have been to Viriconium once before – and appropriately – I find that the landscape of the city seems to have shifted since the last time I was here. Sometimes, it's a bit difficult to find your way around, because as author M. John Harrison once stated, Viriconium is a place that cannot be mapped. It is its own mythology.
Viriconium is three novels and a collection of short stories. The first book – The Pastel City was my favorite last time, and might still be. It's a tale of technological wastelands millennia in the future, filled with heroes, villains, princesses, and magic. It had lightsabers – baans, or energy swords, years before Star Wars came out. It has teagus-Cromis, the finest swordsman in the land, who was an even better poet. It's a straightforward epic fantasy that isn't a doorstop, and it's the epitome of cool.
A Storm of Wings is the second novel, and Harrison makes some incredibly interesting choices, working very hard to do something radically different than he did the last time he brought us here. It's a difficult listen at times because instead of fighting monsters, the heroes of the story are fighting something that ends up being much more abstract. It's the longest of the stories, and it feels the longest. That said, it might also be the one I'm most eager to revisit.
The third novel is In Viriconium. Again, very different from the two that went before it, but this time the experiment is a glorious one – like watching the Coen Brothers make an urban fantasy farce riffing on epic fantasy tropes. It's laugh-out-loud hilarious at one moment, then deeply disturbing in the next.
Then we get to Viriconium Nights, the short story collection, which is really interesting. Occasionally, characters from the previous books appear, but not always, and almost never quite how we remember them. Here is where Viriconium truly becomes an unmapped city – where all the contradictions of what's come before in its history and characters are put on display.
Simon Vance is our tour guide through all this, showing off the different existences of a world, and tying them all together. He does a fantastic job reading Harrison's stories.
It's challenging, yes. It might even be frustrating. But I'll be damned if I'm not already fantasizing about a return trip.
"Escape From Reality is a Worthy Challenge"
At Last! Because You Demanded It! An Unabridged Recording!
It's been several weeks since I finished listening to Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," and I'm starting to think it's one of the best books I've ever read/heard. I read it when it first came out, and enjoyed it. But when the unabridged recording came out I knew I had to grab it, and give it a listen. I am so glad I did. And it was one of those listening experiences when you realize that a book is even better than you already thought it was.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay's an incredible story about two Jewish kids prior to the U.S.'s involvement in WW II - one an immigrant, the other an American - who create a comic book hero that's a perfect and pure meditation on escapism: The Escapist! The novel itself is an epic story full of love, loss, friendship, creativity, and most of all: the human need for escapism.
Chabon's prose is spectacular, painting the setting and the characters better than a splash page. David Colacci's reading is no less spectacular, he was able to expertly give voice to all the characters - Sammy, Joe, Rosa, George Deasey, Tracy Bacon, and Thomas - they all sound exactly the way they should.
According to Chabon's story, Escapism is just as necessary for humans as love. It can be thrilling, sexy, healing, comforting, and transformative. It can make us better people.
Toward the end of the story, Sammy stares at another character's art work and says, "It makes me want to make something again. Something I can be just a little bit proud of."
That about sums it all up for me. Listening to this book made me laugh, got me all choked up, and left me wanting to create art for as long as possible.
"Life Isn't a Pulp Novel"
This is not an easy or light novel. However, it is a very thought provoking one, and I suspect it's one that's going to stay with me for a long time.
What if Osama bin Laden never existed? What if his acts of terror were confined solely to pulp novels, the kind that are published alongside pornography? That's the Philip K. Dickian world the novel takes place in.
Joe is a private detective hired to find the author of the Osama bin Laden: Vigilante books. As he travels across the world attempting to track down the writer, the distance between Joe's fictional world and the real world begins to dissipate. The normal detective stuff happens - attempts are made on his life, he's told to drop the case, etc. But it gets really interesting when Joe comes into contact with "refugees" - people who seem fuzzy around the edges and appear to be trapped - and he begins to question the nature of the world he inhabits, and even of himself.
The novel asks a lot of questions about how we cope with horrible acts of violence through escapism fiction, the war on terror, about choices that we make, and classic Dickian themes like what is reality, and who we are.
The most difficult passages are those from the pulp novels - which turn out to be acts of terror that have occurred recently in our history. They're gut-wrenching on so many different levels, and it's difficult material to discuss and interact with it. Thankfully Tidhar's writing doesn't sensationalize it, and he handles it all with a certain amount of grace.
Jeff Harding gives a solid narration, but for some reason, it got off to a slow start and took a while for me to get completely invested in. That said, it's worth sticking with. This is a book that's lingered with me since I finished listening, and I'll almost certainly reread at some point.
"What Do You Know About Nineteen Fifty?"
That cover looks RAD, doesn't it? Weird, retro-pulpy SF goodness. And there's plenty of that in Empire State - a novel that's seemingly influenced by Philip K. Dick, Jonathan Lethem, and maybe even China Mieville. It's got superheroes, airships, giant robots, an alternate-alternate Prohibition NYC, and is filled with all kinds of cool ideas and twists.
There's a lack of confidence in the execution, though - the characters go to pains to make sure the reader/listener understands the Really Cool Thing that just happened, dulling the edges of said Really Cool Things. The set-up for the story drags to get the plot established. And the characters can't rise above their functions/archetype. Protagonist Rad Radley, P.I., is no Philip Marlowe (or even Conrad Metcalf), and his dialogue and actions make him feel more like a stock character than anything else - like he's going through the motions.
Not that it's a bad book. Once it gets going, there's lots of fun stuff and interesting ideas happening (it's wartime, you know?) - themes of duality and comic book action set-pieces, but I wanted it to soar, and instead it just glides. Still, I'll be curious to see where Adam Christopher goes next.
Phil Gigante's reading is like a classic, full-cast serial performed by one man, which is incredibly impressive, and his style really lent itself well to this book.
"I Had No Idea Melville Was So Funny"
I put off Moby Dick for a long time due to an experience in high school with Billy Budd. I didn't think I wanted to read this one, but was eventually swayed by some friends. Thankfully! Moby Dick's a thrilling adventure story full of depth and gravity and horror. It certainly earns its reputation as an American Classic. What surprised me, though, was how funny Melville is. I didn't realize he had such a sense of humor.
Muller's reading is, of course, a benchmark of excellence. He made this story come alive for me in ways I didn't think it could. I'm so glad I finally decided to give this one a chance.
"Not for Tourists"
From the arrival of Captain Cook, to the missionaries, to the businessmen and politicians who orchestrate the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, Vowell's book is a fascinating and upsetting in-depth look at the Americanization (and eventual annexation) of Hawaii. This is not your typical tourist fare.
I knew what to expect from Vowell's reading, and don't have any issues with her voice (if you're not familiar with Vowell, definitely check out the sample to see if it'll be too much for you).
The supporting cast is generally fine, but Keanu Reeves is shocking great as David Malo. I think I could listen to him read Malo's Hawaiian Antiquities and be content.
Definitely worth checking out if you're at all interested in the history of Hawaii.
"Terrifying - A New Benchmark for Vampires Stories"
There's a tense scene early on in Tim Powers' "The Stress of Her Regard" where Michael Crawford, a 19th century surgeon, is trapped inside an abandoned coach, and he likens the frayed fabric pressing against him to a growling dog's bristling hackles. That sense of impending dread - that disturbing discomfort is woven through every chapter of the novel, and it doesn't relent until the story comes to an end.
This is without a doubt one of the most terrifying and disturbing book I've read or listened to, and the vampires are only part of what makes it so scary. Yes, I said this book has vampires, and if you're one of those people who's wondered over the last few years why vampires aren't scary anymore, look no further. There is no sparkling here. They are more alien and monstrous as any vampires I've read or seen cinematically, and yet, through the characters eyes, we see the gravity of their allure, their intoxicating yet violent, jealous, sexuality.
More than vampires, this is a novel about vampirism and writing, and Powers features 19th century writers and poets like Percy Byshe Shelley, Mary Wolstonecraft Shelley, John Keats, and Lord Byron are just a few of the historical figures who play pivotal roles in this book. Byron is especially fun to see here, but Powers' portrayal of Percy Shelley is particularly gut-wrenching. I was shocked by how much empathy I felt for him.
Simon Vance is the gold standard of narrators, and his reading here is proof why. It would be easy to make the famous characters that populate this book feel either over-the-top or out of reach, but reading Powers prose, Vance caused the characters continue to feel larger than life, while being grounded and human.
The Stress of Her Regard is a terrifying and sensual novel about vampirism, muses, desire, regret, loss, and love. It's my new benchmark for scary vampire stories, and maybe just scary stories in general.
If you like your fantasy incredibly dark and challenging, don't miss out on it.
(I was thrilled to learn that Powers has "Hide Me Among the Graves" another book set in this world coming out early this year. I hope it comes to audio.)

A homecoming victory for Quincy
Quincy's quarterback, Matt Beeson, takes off with the ball. Beeson ran the ball into the end zone for Quincy's second touchdown of the game.
Homecoming proved victorious for the Trojans and all in attendance Oct. 26. Quincy High School beat the Williams Yellowjackets, 50-22.
After the crowning of Allison Sipe as homecoming queen, QHS' choir sang a beautiful rendition of the national anthem. The high school band was present and played spirited songs throughout the game to rile up the crowd.
The first half of the game was evenly matched. The two teams seemed to mirror each other. Once one team scored, the other scored. When one team fumbled the ball, the other slipped up as well.
Williams received the initial kickoff and slowly drove the ball toward the Trojans' end zone. Williams scored first and successfully made a two-point conversion.
The Trojans received the kickoff and started their drive at mid-field. Subsequently, Quincy wasted no time moving the ball. A minute and a half later, Quincy's Keston Pilgrim caught and ran in the ball for Quincy's first touchdown of the night to even the score.
Williams fumbled on the way down the field, giving Quincy possession. Quincy in turn fumbled and Williams once again took the ball.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Quincy drove the ball close to Williams' end zone. Quarterback Matt Beeson snuck the ball in for the touchdown. Cody McDonald ran for the two-point conversion.
Williams responded harshly to the Trojans. The Yellowjackets made two touchdowns within two minutes of one another.
Quincy and Williams traded possessions through the rest of the half. Williams fumbled the ball with less than two minutes remaining in the half. Kyle Froggatt recovered the ball at Williams' 30-yard line.
The Trojans sprang to action. Beeson passed to Jerry Oglesby who made his way into the end zone to once again even the score. At the half Quincy and Williams were tied, 22-22.
"I told the kids during half time that we should be way more up on these guys," said co-coach Tom Goss. "We didn't play well defensively in the first half and we needed to make some adjustments."
One major adjustment the Trojans made was to provide more coverage on Williams' Jose Davalos. Another adjustment was to utilize Quincy's passing game.
Quincy's defense took note and prevented Williams from scoring in the second half. Likewise, the Trojans' offense executed several big plays, which scored them four more touchdowns in the third quarter.
Pilgrim ran the ball in for Quincy's next touchdown 30 seconds into the half.
Ogelsby caught a pass from Beeson and ran in a touchdown. Immediately after, Quincy recovered Williams' kickoff return. Ten seconds later Ogelsby caught a long pass and brought the ball to the 2-yard line. Ten seconds after that, Ogelsby ran the ball in for his third touchdown of the game.
Toward the end of the third quarter, Pilgrim ran in for Quincy's final touchdown and his third of the game. Quincy was ahead 50-22 going into the fourth quarter.
No more points were scored during the game. Quincy possessed the ball at the end and ran the clock out to ensure a victory.
"We opened up the game in the second half," said Goss. "Our defense really held the game together and we also made some big plays in the third."
The Trojans travel to Esparto on Nov. 2 for their final game of the regular season.

President Obama tonight at the White House / Charles Dharapak, AP
The "fiscal cliff" deal is done, so President Obama is back on his Hawaii vacation.
Obama boarded Air Force One at about midnight Tuesday, some 30 minutes after White House remarks saluting the House vote to avert a series of tax hikes and budget cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
"Happy New Year everybody,"' Obama told reporters.
The president landed in Honolulu shortly before 5 a.m. on Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. ET.
Obama and his family began their traditional end-of-the-year vacation on Dec. 21, but the president returned to the White House on Dec. 27 to tend to the fiscal cliff debate. His family stayed back in Hawaii.
The president is scheduled to return to Washington over the weekend.

Hmm, it looks butt-ugly. I suppose the widget styles (Oxygen, etc) won't work yet?
Phoronix: Korona Brings KDE 4.3 To OpenSolaris
While Sun Microsystems puts their weight behind the GNOME desktop environment for Solaris and OpenSolaris, there are developers that do work on providing a quality experience for KDE on OpenSolaris. However, getting KDE to run on a clean OpenSolaris installation can require building KDE from source and taking various other steps. Fortunately, for KDE fans, there is now the Korona distribution, which brings KDE 4.3 as the default desktop environment to an OpenSolaris stack.
Hmm, it looks butt-ugly. I suppose the widget styles (Oxygen, etc) won't work yet?
That's great idea, KDE is crash Titanic that's for sure but on Solaris can run hardcore stable or maybe not
I think people should really stop with this "kde crash" bullshit. Maybe you are referring to kde4, but kde 4.3 is stable considering it's age. Don't forget both kde3 and gnome 2 are very very very old so it would be crazy to pretend that kde4 is stable like them.... oh, and I hope you weren't talking about kde3..
I had with Kubuntu live cd crash very soon on my laptop with 9600mGT so i don't use KDE it looks like Vista not thanks.
All this duplication of effort is annoying.
What a MESS with font rendering, they look like shit:
When KDE developers will learn this?
This is how it SHOULD look like:
Some people call KDE4 "Open Source Vista"
@filip007: kde4.3 is very stable, and your complaint about looking like vista is out of date. Nowadays, it's all the rage to say KDE is a copy of Windows 7, not Vista... Not that they really look anything alike in my opinion.
However, the Solaris port of KDE is still very experimental, so i would expect plenty of crashes and missing functionality from this distro.
@vermaden: dear god that's an ugly font (title bars/task bar font, i mean). KDE developers have absolutely no control over what fonts a distro decides to use, by the way.
