Phoronix: Wine 1.5.23 Released With A Lot Of Work
Wine 1.5.23 was released this morning as the latest bi-weekly development release...
2 types of boring unnews: cloud/virtualization and wine related. Both overrated.
Erm, running Office 2007 on Linux without any noticable flaws is pretty big deal to many.
Another thing that stood out to me:
So I looked around on Winehq:Quote:

Looking in it's git tree I see commit: 'winhttp: Use schannel for HTTPS connection by defaul and get rid of OpenSSL dependency.'Quote:

Would have added value if this was mentioned in the article...
I am quite happy with it, I'd like to see this fixed however.
But how do I game?
I remember the procedure a few years ago :
- have a readily available Windows installation (this quite defeat the purpose) to download and test warez games, with some large free space on your disk and a fast internet connection
- crack the warez game, run it on Windows
- optionnally virus scan the shit of everything before you've run it!
- if it ran fine under Windows, try it under Wine
- repeat until you find a game that works or is usable
I don't have Windows anymore and when I did, I stayed all the time in it anyway.
Lately I copied about 8 cracked games from a shared drive over the Internet, which supposedly run fine on Windows. Only a couple worked (and with some sound woes). But I'm running "Wine 1.4" which is maybe wrong. wine --version reports "wine-1.4" which confuses the hell out of me (where is the third number? 1.4.what? maybe 1.4.0 but I'm not sure)
So.. should I add a wine 1.5 ppa and if so.. Where will I get the games. And can I get a free antivirus such as AVG for Wine?
All these little questions make me not bother. I have Dosbox and that's it.. and I'm not even really using it because I find it painful (it doesn't even come with a text editor and lack most DOS commands)
With all these concerns unsanswered, I have no reason to care for Wine. I'll wait for Steam Linux instead (well, I have it already but to run the flagship game, TF2, I have to upgrade from geforce 7 to geforce 8)
Yes, same here for the first few years. Ditching Windows felt kind off weird, even though I did not discover wine though.
Wine-1.4 is the latest stable wine branch. Which is at 1.4.1 right now or something. I use 1.5.22 which is still getting better for Office 2007.
Who needs a virusscanner for Wine? Just ditch the prefix? Furthermore, you only run a game under wine not a full browser suite with it's vulnerable plugins. And since wine is a rewritten according to Windows convention, it does not carry all of it's vulnerablity's per definition.
Yes, I agree native is nice. But I don't think that Office 2007 will have a native linux binary any time soon...
Thanks, I can see more clearly through the mazes of branches (ubuntu 12.04 proposes me a choice between 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4)
Just a few years back you would have wine 1.0.1 as a stable version or use a current branch instead.
Yes I won't suffer browser risks, attacks on Windows services etc. but I wonder what happens if I just run an infected .exe. This way I find myself running malicious code (even with user rights only, but malware can content itself doing stuff that you can do as a mere user).
Even with no browser, java, flash, RPC, adobe reader etc. vulnerabilities there's an issue if I just copy or download and run the code :D. I'm mainly thinking about dubious cracks and VST plugins as infection vectors on Windows. (and I'd hope Wine is so good it successfully run the malware, even if it's only contained into the equivalent of c:\documents and settings\ and all my user accessible data)
Just run 'ps aux' in a terminal and see if wineserver keeps running after you close your last windows app. If it is, something is keeping it running and you have to wipe your wineprefix.
That is how I would handle it.
However, I rely on wine to crash prematurely before *something* tries to do something smart :o
Separate user, chroot, and no Z: link to the linux fs would go pretty far in protecting from windows viruses.

28.10.2012 /
Red Bull/KTM rider Taddy Blazusiak claimed his fourth consecutive win of the 2012 AMA EnduroCross Series at the seventh round of the circuit in Boise's Idaho Center while FMF/KTM rider Maria Forsberg led a three way KTM victory in the women's event.
Heading into the final round in Las Vegas, NV, KTM's Polish rider is only three points away from victory in the 2012 AMA EnduroCross Series Championship. "I am very happy to win, but I struggled with that tire turn all day," commented Blazusiak. "I crashed there in my hot lap and I guess twice in the main. The course was good and it made for great racing for the fans."
Taddy set himself up for an easy transfer to the main event when he took the holeshot and led all six laps of his heat race. Then in the main he was fifth at the start but came out of turn two on his KTM 350 EXC-F in second. He then battled with Cody Webb before making an impressive pass to take over the lead at the end of the first lap.
On lap four, Blazusiak got hung up in the tire turn and gave up the lead to Webb but slipped past him again going into the fire wood and from then on extended his lead for the remaining laps. He went down one more time in the tire turn but managed to KTM running and was up and running without loosing a position.
KTM women riders sweep all three places
KTM also had a great showing in the Women's class, sweeping all three podium spots. RPM/KTM rider Kacy Martinez grabbed the holeshot, but was passed by Factory FMF/KTM rider Maria Forsberg along with Louise Forsley in the second corner. After taking over the lead, Forsberg got stuck in the rock turn and lost a position to Forsley. Forsberg was able to charge back to recapture the lead and take the Women's Class win, with Louise Forsley in second and Kacy Martinez in third.
After finishing third in his heat race, Factory FMF/KTM rider Mike Brown was feeling ill. Brown decided not to race and to seek medical attention.

Well, I think I have only one thing to say:
This was supposed to be the big Mao Asada vs. Yuna Kim showdown.
But instead, we got the Yuna Kim vs. Yuna Kim showdown.

Not quite. The technical caller still calls the downgrades, but this info isn't communicated to the judges who can now give positive GOEs if they feel like the jump was otherwise well-executed (previously, they were required to give negative GOEs for a UR). This way, an under-rotated 3-3 can potentially get more points than a 3-2 (whereas previously, an under-rotated 3-3 got less points than a 3-2).
76.08 ..well there goes the suspense for the LP..
For those who have not seen the performances yet,
here are yuna and Mao's performances. I keep checking youtube to see if any other skaters' video clips are uploaded yet, but so far no luck!

Hey guys........ I couldn't see very well because I was watching it online,
but I read from another board that there was something horribly wrong with Carolina's dress, and it showed very apparently clearly when they were showing in a slow motion video clip. Has anyone noticed this?!?!? I will watch it again on NBC, but I really hope it's not true.
Well obviously it's one of two. I don't want to say it since I could not see it clearly. I was watching it on my computer and the screen was so fuzzy. ^^;;;;;;;; If no one here has noticed it, then I am gonna watch it on HD on sunday when NBC will broadcast it.................... But if she did have some problems, then I certainly hope that she would fix it asap!!!!!

Summer is here! And what better way to beat the heat then to stay inside with your favorite scent. What!? You don't have a favorite scent? Well that's perfect, we have some of our summer favorites for you to check out.
One of the favorites here at Scents & Sprays is Salt City's Garden Lilac. The lilac, lavender and jasmine combined, form an amazing aroma. It's not like any other floral we have. The fragrant perfume of lilacs reminds us of that first bloom in the garden. The floral scents mingle together in perfect harmony. The Garden Lilac scent is available in the 26 oz. jar, which burns 120-140 hours. The melter tiles burn about 50-60 hours and the diffuser lasts about 1-2 months.
This is one of the best scented candles! The delicious juicy pineapple scent with just a hint of cilantro satisfies every sense. The Pineapple Cilantro frosted jar candle is the best selling fragrance by Illume. Illume is known for its vibrancy in both fragrance and color. Their candles are part soy based and are blended with essential oils. It is available in the 8.5 oz. frosted jar and also the 3×6 pillar candle . The cotton and paper-core wicks, make these clean-burning candles which have delighted and inspired for more than 10 years.
Another Summer scent we love here at Scents & Sprays is the Fiji by Archipelago. It is an exotic, sweet scent. The coconut, sugar cane and lemon leaf meld together flawlessly. If this is what Fiji smells like, then sign us up. It is available in a beautiful glass jar that burns about 60 hours. Definitely a scent you wont regret trying!
We told you some of our Summer favorites, what are yours?

Joel describes his new book, The New Class Conflict
Joel recently appeared on the Bloomberg Advantage radio show to discuss the California housing market and the implication of the growing divide between those who can afford to buy a house and those who cannot.
Download the attached file to listen.
Joel was recently interviewed by CCTV about the future of Singapore, the Asian economy, and the leadership of Lee Kuan Yew. Watch the interview embedded below.
Joel was featured in a short ReasonTV piece about public investments in private sports statiums. From ReasonTV:
"Anybody that drives around Southern California can tell you the infrastructure is falling apart," says Joel Kotkin, a fellow of urban studies at Chapman University and author of the book The New Class Conflict. "And then we're going to give money so a bunch of corporate executives can watch a football game eight times a year? It's absurd."
Watch the piece below:
Joel recently participated in a panel discussion on LA's KCRW radio. The episode was titled, "Who Is Leaving Los Angeles Because of Housing Prices?". More from KCRW:
As Joel Kotkin explains in a column for the Orange County Register, the global Jewish community is rapidly becoming a regional Jewish community. According to Kotkin, four out of every five Jews now lives in either Israel or the United States. In 1939, that number was one in four. Rising anti-Semitism throughout the world–and not just Western Europe–has combined with a dwindling birth rate to produce demographic decline in most of the world's Jewish communities.

Watch Joel in this feature on the role of central planning in Los Angeles. View large version.
"Greenurbia is the suburbs of the future. The suburbs of the 1950s were bedroom communities for people who commuted into the city. Today, there's much more employment in the suburbs, and the big change is the number of people working full-time or part-time at home. Having people commute from one computer screen to another doesn't make sense."
Kotkin has a striking ability to envision how global forces will shape daily family life, and his conclusions can be thought-provoking as well as counterintuitive. It's amazing there isn't more public discussion about the enormous changes ahead, and reassuring to have this talented thinker on the case. — Jennifer Ludden, NPR national desk correspondent

Michael details on the panel power supplies electrics etc will be published by MIT right??
Phoronix: Building A 96-Core Ubuntu ARM Solar-Powered Cluster
Last week I shared results from the Phoronix 12-core ARM Linux mini cluster that was constructed out of six PandaBoard ES development boards. Over the weekend, a 96-core ARM cluster succeeded this build. While packing nearly 100 cores and running Ubuntu Linux, the power consumption was just a bit more than 200 Watts. This array of nearly 100 processor cores was even powered up by a solar panel.
Michael details on the panel power supplies electrics etc will be published by MIT right??
Maybe. It's pretty simple. They used a bunch of 13-port USB hubs. They could run about 8 PandaBoards off a 13-port USB hub with a 4Amp AC power adapter for each hub (0.5 Amps per PandaBoard). The PandaBoard non-ES can run off USB power by default, the ES is supposed to be able too, but evidently it's flakey whether or not it works.
Michael Larabel
3W in Idle for an omap4430, is a bit huge
I know some smartphones powered by omap4430 that use only 5mA in idle on 4.7V battery, so about 24mW.
normally the core can be switched OFF at runtime, and most peripheral too.
So it seems Ubuntu can't do it (maybe due to the ethernet port ?).
This solar panel shown in the pics wasn't built explictly for the cluster... They just happened to have the panel around plus a 400W inverter with battery... They also have a nice MIT solar concentrator, etc. The solar portion isn't part of the cluster build itself.
I'll be back out in Boston tomorrow to speak at BLU so might have another chance to play with the cluster some more, but right now there seems to be some performance issues in software.
Michael Larabel
what was the purpose of this 96 core build BTW ? for personal fun ,to prove the students can perform cobbling together off the shelf generic kit, or to perform a real test and write a paper etc
and when your there Michael please ask them why they didn't get MIT to buy in a load of cheap ARM cortex A9 on sodimm like these http://www.karo-electronics.com/tx53.html and have the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science guys knock up a 100 SODIMM slot carrier board interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from the TX module so as to get something with far lower power usage or just get the company to knock something simple and functional to cluster 10 SODIMM ARM cards with 4 SOC on each.
while the Karo electronics guys only show a set of slower speed Freescale i.MX535, A8 at 1 GHz,Concept
im not sure so check but i think the Freescale i.MX6, 1.2 GHz A9 Quad (its also got 1gigabit Ethernet in soc)is pin compatible with all their other series so MIT could have karo or some other ARM on SODIMM vendors make a striped down PCB with all the ports and power passed on to the daughter board and a set (2 or 4 per card) of i.MX6 quads per SODIMM
The TX embedded module integrates all the core components of a common PC and is mounted
onto an application specific carrier board. TX modules have a standardized form factor of 67,6mm x
26mm, have specified pinouts and provide the functional requirements for an embedded
application. These functions include, but are not limited to, graphics, network and multiple USB
ports. A single ruggedized SO-DIMM connector provides the carrier board interface to carry all the
I/O signals to and from the TX module. This SO-DIMM connector is a well known and proven high
speed signal interface connector that is commonly used for memory cards in notebooks.
Carrier board designers can utilize as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as deemed necessary.
The carrier board can therefore provide all the interface connectors required to attach the system
to the application specific peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a dense and
optimized package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration.
Most importantly, TX applications are scalable, which means once a product has been developed,
the product range can be diversified by using TX modules with a different performance class.
Simply unplug one module and replace it with another, no redesign is necessary."

i have been waiting for this. thank you michael!
We will try to get the specs up on the web. Meanwhile, here are the basics (I am one of the guys who worked on it).
We started with Chris Tyler's excellent HOWTO...
and then bought Koutech 13-port USB hubs... we were chugging along pretty well in the 5v DC domain until we had to get a 48-port ethernet switch, which was a 3Com 2250 Plus (48 FastE and 2 GigE ports). Case was a Rubbermaid 9P90 Plaza Jr. (35 Gallon) Container which looks a lot like a Seahorse Power BigBelly.
Solar system was a "solar popcorn cart" from http://futuresolar.wordpress.com/ I think we will revisit this part of the equation; one of our guys has a cool MPPT controller (some pix of which used to be at http://solarwirelessmile.com/)... so next time we will try this without battery.
I'll get some more material together for a website and report back. We got good advice from some of the regular posters here. User drjo suggested we get rid of SD and use something else for the fs. We have tried booting with the usboot utility from Pandaboard.org with mixed results. Must not like the hubs, we think. Anyway, more to come.
thanks for the "Kurt Keville of MIT and I talking about the ARM cluster:" clip it clears a lot up on the purpose of this
in case the other MIT guys want to try and make that micro ARM on SODIMM setup apparently they do also have a dual OMAP4460 1.5 GHz with 1Gigabit/s via on-module SMSC LAN7500 http://www.directinsight.co.uk/produ...omap-4460.html but no ARM quad versions off the shelf yet so far and that's a shame, so an I.mx6 quad 1.2 GHz 1Gigabit/s Ethernet although slower might still be the better option if they add that soon.
have you determined if your restricting throughput by the 10/100 Ethernet yet ? and did a small cluster (over 3 channels) running over wireless 11n ad hoc give better throughput ? i cant seem to find any numbers about real life wireless 11n throughput on these boards so that might be interesting to know

New research finds that women who smoke today have a much greater risk of dying from lung cancer than they did decades ago compared to those who never smoked. / Julio Cortez, AP
People who smoke take at least 10 years off their life expectancy, a new study has found.
On the other hand, those who kick the habit before age 40 reduce the excess risk of death associated with continued smoking by about 90%, according to the study in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
"Smoking is the No. 1 preventable cause of death in the U.S.," says Tim McAfee, a co-author of the study. "We need to do more to educate the American people about these findings," adds McAfee, director of the Office on Smoking and Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study examined data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey between 1997 and 2004.
Women who smoke now die at a similar rate for men, the study also found. Previous research from the 1980s showed that women were less affected.
"Women now lose about 11 years of life expectancy if they smoke," McAfee says. "Men lose about 12 years." He adds that it is presumed that women's smoking patterns are now more similar to men's in terms of picking up the habit at younger ages and smoking a larger number of cigarettes.
McAfee says the study has global implications because most of the world's 1.3 billion smokers live in low- and middle-income countries, where cessation is less common.

For an evolution of a standard it sure looks dissapointing from those benchmarks
Phoronix: AHCI vs. IDE Linux Performance Benchmarks
Hitting OpenBenchmarking.org this weekend are some interesting benchmarks comparing performance of AHCI vs. IDE modes under Linux from an AMD Fusion system...
For an evolution of a standard it sure looks dissapointing from those benchmarks
It is too bad that libata maintainer Andre Hedrick recently committed suicide.
I suppose this is a typical 5400 rpm HDD so it's kind of expected that it doesn't make much difference. Try the same thing with a fast SSD and see if the results are the same.
I don't know. Perhaps Jeff Garzik?
With disk drives, AHCI is not so much about performance, but about SATA (like hotswapping.) With fast disks, there's a bit of a performance advantage with non-sequential reads due to NQC, but it's not much (it's limited compared to SCSI.) However, it also helps the drive's read head live longer as it travels less.
Note that SSDs don't have heads, so NQC is useless here. Access to the higher bandwidth however, is useful for fast SSDs.
Your description is wrong, first it's NCQ and it is not limited to reads:

This is a great idea. I've contemplated such an idea in the past. It's a big project but should pay off!
How long does it take to receive the welcome e-mail? It's been around a half hour and I haven't received it yet.
Yet another Phoronix project is starting to take form and will hopefully be officially unveiled towards the end of July or early August... Forum users simply get a sneak-peak for now. We don't believe anything like this has yet existed, so please bear with us as we work out the initial bugs and begin to add additional features. For the time being, this project is being referred to as "Phoronix LCH".
What Phoronix LCH basically boils down to is an organized community system that will ultimately show what works and what doesn't when it comes to Linux hardware compatibility. There are a few organized lists for some specific distributions available, but we believe this will be the first wide-spread system to distribute this type of information. Sure, you can use Google and try multiple search queries to attempt to find some information on forums or mailing list of users talking about how a specific piece of hardware works with Linux (or wait for a Phoronix review to appear ), but we are attempting to make this process much easier for end-users and provide it in a more organized fashion. Phoronix LCH will be community-driven and accepts public hardware entries and compatibility comments. Below is a blurb from the project page.
Already active on the temporary page for Phoronix LCH is a working system, which shows all available hardware entries, allows you to browse the entries, search the entries, and several other features. We also have a few additional (and exciting) features for this system that we hope to roll out soon. Stay tuned .Phoronix LCH is designed to be a community-driven indexing system for computer hardware under Linux. This system allows you to post Linux information on hardware, as well as sharing your own personal experiences when it comes to Linux compatibility. You are also able to browse and search the database for other hardware as well. This is designed to make it much more effortless when deciding what Linux compatible hardware to go with during your next upgrade. Phoronix LCH is not distribution specific, and allows comments from all versions of Linux. Phoronix LCH is basically designed to share what works and what doesn't when it comes to hardware under Linux.
With this sort of concept basically being uncharted waters, we certainly welcome any feedback, etc... Currently in the database are a few entries made for demonstration purposes, however, we invite you to begin entering your own hardware experiences.
Most of the major bugs in this program should already be stomped, however, if you see any issues please let us know. Such bugs could include browser incompatibility, hardware device information formatting, user authentication problems, etc... Of the many things still being worked on include improving the user interface (possibly adding some nice graphical functions), improvements with the user verification and management of specific settings for registered users (Control Panel, as well as the implementation of sessions to prevent entering the username/password so often), etc... We also welcome any other ideas or suggestions you may have for improving the concept to better assist Linux users.
Phoronix LCH can be found @ http://www.phoronix.com/lch/
Keep in mind this system is still very much under development, so pardon the rough edges but basically at this point we are looking for any and all feedback. Thanks!
If this turns out to be a large enough success, and ultimately enough demand, we will be replicating the system for Solaris and FreeBSD users as well.
Feel free to discuss Phoronix LCH in this thread.
This is a great idea. I've contemplated such an idea in the past. It's a big project but should pay off!
How long does it take to receive the welcome e-mail? It's been around a half hour and I haven't received it yet.
The message should be pretty much instant. Let me know if it shows up later, or in your junk mail or something. It should be from do-not-reply @ phoronix I haven't run into any mail problems yet.
Anyhow, your account has been manually activated.
Thanks man. I will let you know if I receive the e-mail. I am actually checking it through webmail and don't have any spam protectors on.
First comments on it..
How about an edit button? I added an NVIDIA 7800GT but it should say eVGA instead of NVIDIA. Edit for the actual post and the comments would be nice. But obviously the product info should only be edited the originating poster or by you.
Maybe have a small guide inside each new entry that tells the user exactly what information should be there? I just took a stab, but hopefully I didn't miss anything.
Tis all. Looking good though.
Thanks. Yes, a edit button for users would be great, and am in the process on deciding its most effective implementation.Originally Posted by Rob Williams
I intend to create some sort of "examples window" or something along those lines to help users decide on what information to submit.
Any other suggestions are always welcome.
Added a new "Systems" category for pre-built desktops and servers, similar to the notebook category.
Other improvements were made to the present public user page (example), as well as improvements to the search efficiency, and a few other random changes.
More to come soon!
- Front-page is also revised.

I really see no reason to separate the graphics cards based on their brand. Just about all of them, with a few rare exceptions follow either the ATI or nVidia reference designs and just have a third party sticker slapped on the hsf, and sometimes, a different hsf. The graphics card brand has no effect on the drivers that it uses, so all nVidia cards should be in the nVidia section, no matter what brand they are, and that should also apply to ATI. I'm rather confident that not only your evga 7800GT will work in linux, any 7800GT will also work, regardless of the brand. Separating the graphics cards based on brand will only add confusion and make the website a big mess.
Correct, that was one of the areas I was thinking about. However, users should post their specific board manufacturer in the hardware notes section, or in their Linux compatibility comments.Originally Posted by Scott
Looks very good to me. One suggestion: I think all entries should have a mandatory kernel version field and an optional (but strongly recommended) kernel feature/module field. This is because specific hardware might work in kernel version X, but kernel version Y's driver for it might be broken. Also, it is equally important to point out which driver was used for evaluation.
It was hoped that the user would specify that information in the Linux comment area, with the rest of their Linux compatibility comments, however, we will look into adding the driver/kernel field.Originally Posted by Shadewalker

Fantastic! They can adapt almost everything on the menu and all the sauces are gluten free which is amazing! The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and I think I love it here!
Everything here is made from scratch, so they can pretty much modify any dish according to your dietary restrictions. I opted not to get the pasta, and instead ordered the chicken marsala. I told the waiter I'm gluten and dairy-free, so they prepared it accordingly and made appropriate substitutions. The waiter seemed knowledgeable, and he made sure to double check with the chef about ingredients. Overall, very accommodating and understanding.
Used to go here often until for a time they no longer offered GF pasta. Last I went they had corn pasta and chefs would often communicate with me directly which I appreciated but we still got sick - their managers called me with apologies and showered me with gift cards but I can't take the risk on my family's health until they get their standards in line. Good place though with great intentions - I've no doubt they will up their game in the future. Someone tell me when and ill come back.
Great tasting gluten-free pasta. Chef went out of his way to ensure I had a gluten-free dining experience.

Although they do not have many for options for people who have celiac disease, the chef comes out and speaks to you if you have special requests. I always get the GF pasta with sauce. Their pasta tastes great.

They have GF pasta which can be substituted in any dish and all of their sauces are thickened corn starch so they are all GF. They also have GF appetizers and cream brûlée for dessert. Probably one of the best menus in terms of options I have come across.

My absolute favorite in the area. Only place I know of that offers gluten free rolls! They're from a local gf bakery and are INCREDIBLY delicious! I'd go there just based on the premise that they offer gluten free rolls like they do regular ones, and at no extra charge! I've only ever had one issue there, and it was for a take out order where they accidentally didn't mark my order as GF but luckily I was familiar enough with the dish because I get the same one all the time (rigatoni D), that I could tell it wasn't the right pasta. So I called them and they had someone deliver the right order to me! So nice. And the creme brûlée is amazing as well.

Ordered a dish with gluten free pasta (penne), but there was a small piece of spaghetti and piece of fettuccine in the dish as well. Be careful if you are very sensitive!
1201 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107-2818
Got gluten full pasta when gluten free was ordered. My son was sick all night as a result. Waitstaff seem very under trained and did not have a clear understanding of what was GF. And what was not. Staff turns over so I wanted the next celiac customer to avoid this problem.
3333 Bristol Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
I've got an upset stomach 24 hours after eating there. I don't trust the restaurant and I won't be back. I don't like their food anyways so no big loss. Hoping to find a good Italian place where I feel safe.

Chef came out to customize my pasta order. I am both gluten and dairy-free, and ordered marinara sauce with mushrooms, spinach and herbs. The pasta is 100% corn. It's great that they do not upcharge for GF, and the pasta portion is big and delicious.

Amazing gluten free pasta. They were very willing and polite when working to make entrees gluten free! I really appreciate this great place. Wish all places were like this! Will definitely come back!!!
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Chef was so accommodating! Personally came out multiple times to take my order, as well as confirm my gluten free needs. Baked ziti, fettuccini Alfredo, Italian salad, and vanilla ice cream have all been excellent gluten free options! Would highly recommend.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
It seems like they are unsure how to accommodate guests with gf and df diets. Even though the chef came out to take the order, I still got sick. I ordered the gf and df seafood pasta (forgot the exact name); they forgo the taste for accommodating to the special diet, so it tasted eh. Maybe it was the dish, maybe it was the cook, but I wouldn't go back again.
2019 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX 77056-4401
Was not impressed by this Maggiano's in Houston. The waitress did not have the chef come to my table, which has always been done at their other locations. She said they were "in a thing.". If they were in a thing, then who was cooking?! I should have left at that point but I didn't have any other options nearby, as I was on foot. Waitress was horrible. I asked twice for a straw & never got it, and the restaurant was empty! Food came out wrong and was completely bland & tasteless. Won't be going back to this location ever.
10300 Little Patuxent Parkway #3160, Columbia, MD 21044
Great restaurant now has serious commitment to gluten-free customers! They have made a corporate move to gluten-free as the default for most dishes; they even make four kinds of gluten-free pastas fresh in the kitchen! All of their sauces and salad readings are gluten-free and the chef comes out to make sure they take care of you. Only ore-made things like lasagna are off-limits. Finally, a restaurant that gets it!Great food, great service and good value makes this at the very least a go-to place for special occasions. Mangia!
26300 Cedar Rd. #1103, Beachwood, OH 44122-1190
My very favorite place to eat gluten free. So many safe options!
500 16th St Ste 150, 16th St. Mall Promenade, Denver, CO 80202-4265
Very friendly - the chef came out and took the order and saw it all the way through. They make everything from scratch and delicious! A great place for a special evening.
#2 The Boulevard Saint Louis, Richmond Heights, MO 63117-1122
Worth the trip for the gluten free rolls!
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
Staff are very knowledgeable about celiac. One of our favorite places to go. Chef or manager will come out to the table if they know that you have celiac to explain the menu options and how the food is prepared. Food is great also and you can get enough to take home for the next day.
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Makes a super effort to make gluten free diners feel welcome and stay healthy. Well trained staff and excellent food.
8030 Renaissance Parkway,, Suite 890, Durham, NC 27713
Amazing food and excellent service! They do not have a separate GF menu, but they have GF penne to substitute with any dish! When you let your waiter know you have an allergy, the Chef personally comes to your table for you to place your order! Creme Brûlée is also GF (but not dairy-free), you can eat here without any worry of getting sick! Definitely worth a visit!
160 N. Gulph Road, Suite 205, King of Prussia, PA 19406
Wheat flour based fettuccini was mixed in with my GF penne pasta. I caught it before eating too much, but I still got sick. After bringing the issue to our waiter's attention the manager stopped by. The manager told me I should've asked for her because she knows the GF procedures. Perhaps they should put on the menu :p. Regardless they clearly aren't careful with food prep and definitely don't have a GF separate pasta draining/storage area. No GF specific menu. Eating here isn't worth the risk.
1847 Freedom Drive, Naperville, IL 60563
So many GF options, and a great deal to get the 2-person meal with 2 extra pastas to go. All the sauces are GF. Sub GF penne into almost anything. Chopped salad delicious, creme brulee awesome. Pasta was eh, kinda bland. Probably my fault ordering the "light" version of something alfredo. Didn't really like the texture of the penne either.
4 Columbus Ave., Boston, MA 02116-3910
Great food. They don't really have a gf menu. However, it is true that they can make GF many things on the regular menu. Big exception:they have no gf breads AT All. The pasta we had was excellent. The only gf dessert was creme burlee which was also delicious. I would go back.
1601 Cumberland Mall SE, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30339-3162
Chef will come to table for allergies, just ask your server. Many options including pasta. Great food and great service!
17603 IH 10W, San Antonio, TX 78257
Very good. Knowledgable waitstaff and they offer to have the chef come out to speak to you. I had shrimp scampi with gluten free pasta and it was divine! I had been missing it and it was perfect.
3106 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203-1304
Our waiter was not very friendly and was not helpful whatsoever in pointing out the gluten free options on the regular menu. They don't have a separate gluten free menu. When I ordered the rigatoni which he finally told me could be made gf, I asked him to make sure they boil the noodles in a clean pot with new water. He paused for about five seconds and then said ok while he mumbled something as he wrote my order down. I had a bad feeling about whether or not they were actually going to do it so I just ordered a salad instead. I was very disappointed because I heard that this restaurant takes allergies seriously. Maybe we just had a bad waiter.
1201 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107-2818
We ate here twice while in Philly for the marathon. Both times it was fabulous and the servers very friendly. They accommodated our gluten free and dairy free request with a smile.
#2 The Boulevard Saint Louis, Richmond Heights, MO 63117-1122
I would love to give them 5 stars, but I've gotten sick after eating here more than once. There are good options, and the staff seems knowledgeable, but I'm not so sure about their cross-contamination carefulness. There have been times I've been fine and times I haven't, but I think it's time for me to give up on them.
4 Columbus Ave., Boston, MA 02116-3910
Staff is normally great and good is delicious. Gf beer too.
2500 N Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa, WI 53226-1409
Had a wonderful time here. Waitress and chef were highly helpful, friendly, and understanding. Had salad with no croutons dressing was naturally gluten free. As for my main meal was told by chef all sauces are naturally with out gluten the only thing they change is its cooked in a different pot with special gluten free noodles and prepared separate from all other meals in the kitchen. The meal was amazing and service great. Will be going back more often.
1847 Freedom Drive, Naperville, IL 60563
Knowledgeable chef who came out. Very attentive. Great sauces. No celiac reaction.
3368 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326-1008
Have gluten free pasta, but that's all. No special menu so just tell the waiter.
26300 Cedar Rd. #1103, Beachwood, OH 44122-1190
I was just a Maggiano's for a baby shower. The chef personally came over to talk to me about the gluten free options (it was a Saturday, they had 6 other events and he graciously made the time). The pasta tasted and looked so delicious, cooked to the perfection of normal pasta. To be cautious I sent the server to confirm it was gluten free and it was!!! The tilapia and vegetables had tons of flavor!! Highly recommend for a fantastic gluten free meal, literally one of the best ever!!
3055 Olin Avenue, Suite 1000, San Jose, CA 95128
I have eaten here several times and always had a dedicated knowledgable staff member oversee my order. The food is always very good and I have never had a reaction eating here. I just make a comment about a "gluten allergy" on my open table reservation and they send someone over to discuss accommodations for my celiac as soon as I'm seated.
1901 E. Woodfield, Schaumburg, IL 60173
Just okay. I ordered a pasta alfredo dish and the pasta was quite limp and honestly a bit bland. I used to eat here before I went gluten free and the regular menu is much better than the GF one. Just not impressed with them.
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
As mentioned in other reviews, the chef comes out to talk to you about the GF options and to make sure you are comfortable with how your food is being prepared. I've never had issues eating here except that I over eat and complain about being overstuffed... It's the "good" kind of bloating! ;-) This is one of the only places I will add "celiac friendly" to the rating.
600 Commons Way, Bldg. E, Bridgewater, NJ 08807-2806
Absolutely delicious. Chef came to table and offered to prepare 80% of the menu gluten free - not just pastas, all the main courses. Only thing couldn't modify to gluten free was desserts. Speaking of desserts- the creme brûlée was gluten free and it was outstanding, probably the best tasting I have EVER had. The food here is fresh, cooked to order, the staff is friendly, GF knowledgeable, and everything we had was so tasty. BTW they will accommodate many food allergies, ie. eggs, milk, nuts etc. Highly recommend this place even if you have to drive a little while to get there because it is so worth it.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
Told waiter about celiac and he said that he could absolutely do that. I ate through a whole part of the veal thinking that the sauce was kinda thick... When I double checked with him he went back to ask the chef who apparently forgot... So... I got very sick. Please ask for manager when placing an order.
2100 Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, MD 21401
I think the good was so so. They promised a lot but when I asked for certain items they were unavailable. My husbands food was cold
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
My wife and I stopped in for a light dinner (salads), and the waiter immediately asked about allergies. Once I told him my wife was gluten intolerant, allergic to orange and chocolate, he brought the chef out. The food was good, but sitting outside you have to deal with the ignorant public who thinks it is a good idea to strike up a few cigarettes right next to where you are eating. The waiter said inside they can't smoke, but because there isn't a law in NV about public smoking they couldn't do anything. Not a knock on the restaurant, but the environment took away some points.
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
I am sitting at Maggianos as I write this review because they absolutely deserve it. I came to eat here mid day and the chef himself came to my table to talk to me about my options and the pasta and my mom and I both had (both gluten free but different dishes) was by far the best gluten free pasta I have ever had whether at home or I'm a restaurant. They care about allergies and made sure I was satisfied and I am leaving full with leftovers I can't wait to eat later.
600 Commons Way, Bldg. E, Bridgewater, NJ 08807-2806
Have eaten here several times and pleased with no reaction later. Chef comes out to speak to you first and provides options. Seem very knowledgeable about cross-contamination.
600 Commons Way, Bldg. E, Bridgewater, NJ 08807-2806
Went last night and had a horrible experience. After following their protocol and speaking to the chef, they apparently mixed up my dish with my daughter's. They looked similar so after they were served I asked if the server was sure. He said yes he double checked. But no...he mixed up the dishes and I am now paying for it. Will never eat there again.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
My 15 yr old recently diagnosed with Celiacs, first vacation has been rough but Maggianos is great. Chef came out and past and sauces are all gluten free! Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken coming up!!
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
The chef came to our table to discuss my options w me. Sauces here are prepared GF & they can make most dishes by substituting corn pasta. Gr8 service, very knowledgable staff, incredible food. I love this place!
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
Amazing pasta with meat sauce. The chef comes out and speaks to you personally. Great place!
16405 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85254-1578
We used to really like this place, but then we went last week for the first time in years and were completely disappointed. For one, they got rid of their GF bread, which was delicious, but not a big deal. The real problem was they don't have a GF menu but claim to be able to make almost everything on the menu GF, which seemed like it would be ok. However, the more we asked about specific options, almost every time they said they couldn't be accommodating. Basically, it seemed like you could order anything as long as you were OK with them modifying it down to GF penne pasta with red sauce. The worst part was that it made the whole experience more about the things we *couldn't* order, rather than about the things we could order. We left completely frustrated, and we wouldn't want anyone else to experience the same thing.
#2 The Boulevard Saint Louis, Richmond Heights, MO 63117-1122
Absolutely fabulous!! All sauces are gluten free. So many choices I had a hard time deciding!! Gluten free rolls that were so soft I couldn't believe they were GF!! Staff is very knowledgable and helpful. I will definitely be returning, on a regular basis.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
Great gluten free pasta!! The manager come out to get your order. Great experience every time!!!
2100 Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, MD 21401
All sauces are gluten free, as is their sausage. They have a very good gluten-free penne. And the chef came out to chat with us & customize. He even brought out a gluten- free dessert just- because. We will be back!
#2 The Boulevard Saint Louis, Richmond Heights, MO 63117-1122
My office bought lunch for us today and I was excited to be able to partake this time, albeit worried about becoming ill at work. The food was amazing!!! The gentleman taking the order was wonderful. The portion size is huge and to be able to eat (bread) rolls from a restaurant was so exciting. I did not become ill and will be eating there again and again and again.
500 16th St Ste 150, 16th St. Mall Promenade, Denver, CO 80202-4265
Yes they cistomize but the pasta is blah. Environment is like over priced country buffet seating. So not worth it! Go to Carabas!!!

As you English native speaker say: Hell is frozen over!
Now the other 3 nearly impossible launches are waiting:
UT3,DNF, Steam.
Phoronix: Creative Gives In, They Open-Source Their X-Fi Driver
The Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card driver for Linux from Creative Labs was awful. That's simply the nicest way to put it. The driver was home to many bugs, initially only supported 64-bit Linux, and it was arriving extremely late. The open-source drivers supporting the Creative X-Fi drivers have also been at a stand still. However, Creative Labs today has finally turned this situation around and they have open-sourced the code to this notorious driver. The source-code for the Creative X-Fi driver is now licensed under the GNU GPLv2.
As you English native speaker say: Hell is frozen over!
Now the other 3 nearly impossible launches are waiting:
UT3,DNF, Steam.
Finally !!!
we're all better off sticking with the oxygen powered sound cards.
OMG! Finally i can install eg. Ubuntu to my Game-PC...
Hope this will go quickly to ALSA...
Am I still dreaming? Creative for the win! (finally)
Are there ANY information if they will release specs, or whatever, for the I/O Modules?
Creative's not making money anyway, so they don't have much to lose. At least this makes their fanboys happy. I can't believe how many Linux users own X-fi's, considering how horrible the support is, but apparently some people are happy making ill-informed purchases and being brand slaves.
I wish I hadn't bought this stupid soundcard two years ago. I did know it was supposed to be a linux machine, but since I had such good experiences with linux hardware support, I figured I wouldn't have any problems.
So of course I buy an ATI graphics card and a Creative X-Fi.... oh brother.
Things have finally shaped up though. I now have 100% open source drivers running on my system.
Come on, everbody has a litte masochist inside himself
Well, I do not own a X-Fi but back in early 2004 I was impressed by the Audigy2 cards. Today I think a onboard card, like an ALC888, is sufficient. X-Fi makes sense if you are a (hardcore)gamer under Windows.
But I still love those I/O hubs ^^
