I wonder if there's a difference in performance of 3D between xserver 1.8.x and 1.9.
Phoronix: ATI's 2D Performance With X.Org Server 1.9
With the imminent release of X.Org Server 1.9, last week we delivered benchmarks of Intel's 2D driver performance with X.Org Server 1.9. In those tests we found Intel's UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture) performance only changed a bit -- for either better or worse -- with the updated X Server, but today we are looking at the 2D EXA performance using ATI Radeon hardware using this soon-to-be-released X Server.
I wonder if there's a difference in performance of 3D between xserver 1.8.x and 1.9.
regress... : <
shit, all I see is the mediocre 85% drop in simple blit and some slight improvement in other operations.
The most common blit operation will be 1/4 the old performance, very nice
I thought there was signficant improvement with the open source drivers. Each time I bring up these concerns and the complaints that inevitably pop up here, I'm told there's nothing wrong.
I might have to use a R300 card, a X300SE, in my desktop for the time being. So, will I have issues with it? I haven't had it in a desktop for quite some time now. I gave my Nvidia card to a family member since their old PIII bit the dust (keeps shutting down). I'm building another desktop and I already have a mobo that needs a video card.
I guess I'll find out soon.
Unless this is already a known problem, and if JXRenderMark actually means something in the real world - this would be an excellent opportunity for some bisecting...
I have the same laptop discussed in the article. Has anyone gotten gallium to work on it? So far I can only get classic to run. When I try r300g my Xorg seg faults. I will provide any data necessary. Please direct me to any ongoing discussion or page links. I have the system set up, as far as I can tell. I am not new to linux, but new to debugging.

ok not really a member but how would you verify that anyway?
I like to play multiplayer games (4+) with pro units best. Maps with unbalanced starting points that require cooperation between some of the players are probably my favorite... And I usually play in the morning and evening, so I prefer 12 hour games.
I employ a tit-for-tat strategy in FFA games - I attack anyone who attacks me, and give peace (usually) to whomever is not attacking me. I usually respond to an unexpected strike with a disproportionate response, so be prepared...

When it comes to a novice guitar player's progress, the overall feel and sound of a well-constructed guitar can make the world of a difference. After all, by allowing a beginner to improve their craft on a guitar that's been manufactured with careful consideration towards quality and tone, the greater the chances will be that they'll continue with the instrument. You need to be sure that the guitar you're purchasing is capable of providing many years of musical satisfaction. For this, look no further than Taylor guitars.
Since 1974, Taylor guitars have been building a reputation for crafting high quality acoustic, electric and nylon guitars for players of all skill levels and budgets. In fact, every guitar made by Taylor has come to life through pride and passion for the instrument, which is why the Taylor name can be found in the hands of widely-known musicians on stages all over the world. Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath are just some of many huge stars that play and endorse Taylor guitars for their incredible sound and superb dependability.
From campfires to concert stages, the Taylor GS Mini Mahogany Acoustic guitar packs a ton of tone into a comfortable, portable size, giving you a guitar that's incredible easy to play and also a great choice for beginners. Inspired by the bold sound of Taylor's award-winning GS body shape, the GS Mini scales is designed to be the ultimate musical companion. For electrics, the Taylor Solid Body Custom electric guitar comes highly rated. Containing original new pickups, a sleek all-aluminum bridge, and unique switching capabilities, this guitar is extremely well built and incredibly fun to play.
When a player first picks up the guitar, they naturally want to get good as quickly as possible. Of course, it takes time, practice and dedication to master the instrument. But that shouldn't keep a novice player from feeling confident in their abilities. The great thing about Taylor guitars is that they're specifically designed to be easy on the fingers, making chords a cinch to construct, and the all-around musical experience more enjoyable. Whether you've been playing for years or just starting out, finding a guitar that's perfectly balanced in performance, durability, affordability is a lot easier than you think, thanks to Taylor.

I just finished testing a new product that was sent to me by Al at Ships-n-things. It is called the Dog Bone Stretch, and is used to extend a Dumas dog bone connector for there U-joints. It is a very complete kit with enough parts to build two six inch dog bones if required. It comes with four ends four roll pins a 12 section of brass tubing and even a drill bit for drilling the roll pin hole. One end comes already installed on the tube, then you cut to length and install the other end. Very simple, and it works very well. This allows you to easily extend the distance between the WTC and the prop shaft. This is a great idea. I have one photo showing the kit, and one showing the completed dog bone in my XV11b. BD.

Uveal melanoma is difficult to treat successfully. Pasireotide (SOM230) is an investigational targeted therapy that binds to proteins called somatostatin receptors. Everolimus is an oral drug that inhibits a molecule called mTOR, which helps cancer cells grow. Everolimus is approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma, but its use for treating uveal melanoma is considered investigational.
Researchers believe that both somatostatin receptors and mTOR are important for the growth of uveal melanoma. They hope that by blocking both proteins, they can prevent tumor growth or cause tumors to shrink. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining pasireotide and everolimus in patients with uveal melanoma that has spread or has not responded to treatment.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Michael Postow at 646-888-4589.

dj defintely out! reports out of dallas that the clips going hard dh12.
Link please.
im listening to espn710. mark willard said it.
heres the link
http://www.clipsnation.com/2013/5/14/43 ... ght-howard
Rumors, I love rumors. 10% chance of this happening.....but there is a chance, lol.
I think if he decides leaves LA it will be for Dallas or Houston. State taxes make it more pausable and both teams will be very, very good with him.
Hunger Games NBA Edition, commenced.
Sidenote: Absolutely hilarious how we have a rumor on our topbuzz about us trying to clear cap space to get Howard and Lakers topbuzz has a rumor posted on their forum discussing Lakers clearing cap space to get CP3.
And their rumor scenario is just the kind of water into wine miracle that the lakers pull off, the more absurdly impossible the more likely they can pull it off lol.
So much nonsense coming up this time of year,,,reporters playing fantasy basketball because to them money is no object.
I'm not much of a D12 fan, but I think the reaction from Lakers fans if we signed him would be pretty priceless.
But I think Tense is right that there's only about a 10% chance of this happening. We'd have to somehow get rid of DJ and Butler and let Bledsoe walk. And that might not even be enough.
I've been searching far and wide for my least favorite thread on CTB but by God I think I've finally found it.
He helps in some ways but we really need bigs wi a reliable jumpshot. Not sure how this helps blake
I wonder if CP3 and Dwight have been talking... Haven't they been talking about playing together when Dwight was in Orlando and CP3 in New Orleans?
better offensive/defensive center, same" 4th quarter hack-a-___" issues.
sign and trade with the lakers????
D12/metta for DJ/bledose/butler/odom
works out for both.
Lakers can't do S&T's until they get under the cap.
As much as I hate the clown act, he would be better than DJ.
the way BG plays, and assuming his mid range game stays unrefined, i dont like the idea of having two players that clog the paint. we've already seen what happens when DJs around: teams have a much easier time double teaming.
trade blake for dwight and dj for anderson. problem solve
Yeah, its a concern. We'd have to have consistent shooting from the 1,2 and 3 spots to make it work offensively. But we'd be much better defensively.
The ONLY trade we should be making is trading DJ and Bledsoe to Orlando for Vucevic and Aflalo. That way we get someone who can rebound like crazy and shoot from the outside and get someone who can play d on the outside.
Vucevic is a total beast. Check out his numbers. We also need to dump Caron, Grant Hill, Chauncey, unless Chauncey wants the minimum. Bottom line, Dj has to go, sorry Blake, but he disappeared against Memphis. Also, we MUST get either Van Gundy or Rivers. Period.
If they trade for Dwight or get him theyw ill venetiallu trade Blake for lebron or melo
Grant Hill probably just retires, Chauncey isnt on the books and Caron isnt the worst piece on the team.
sign and trade for dwight, send bledsoe and DJ for him. if dwight was to leave, lakers would probably do that trade in a heartbeat. we might have to throw in a draft pick but im okay with that. keep BG.
Orlando West...No thanks!
Howard is a malcontent. From crying to the press about not going to him the 4th qtr, to throwing his coach under the buss. That, just in Orlando. In LA, after every game, he subtly takes jabs at his players, and talks about how the offense should be inside out...Jab at his coach. Do you guys honestly think Howard will not throw BG under the bus if he thinks BG is taking away from his offense?
F Howard...
orlando made it to the final and cp3 is definitely better than rafer alston or nelson. I take final appearance over first round exit any day.
it's time someone puts accountability on bg. this guy gets a free pass. he's gonna get paid max $$ next season, it's time to stop babying him.
So, the solution is trading him? And how is he getting a free pass? He was one of the most criticized players in the league in terms of the national media and a lot of fans outside of LA. The flopping, the lack of a consistent offensive game, etc. have all been brought up over and over again this season. He knows he's got to improve.
I think Howard would have a resurgence with our team. I also think he would fit in better with our guys and as a result, will play harder. I do not however, under any circumstances want metta world piece of shiit.
Wtf are you talking about? BG is improving every year unlike Howard, how the heck can you defend Dwight and throw Blake under the bus like that? Smfh, even non Clipper fans know how hard Blake works, he isn't getting a 'free pass' he changed this franchise.
I'm with CJ on this one, Dwight is a cry baby and he's far from a leader.
One thing we can all probably agree on....... Ship out DJ as soon as it is possible...
rebounding declining yearly. ppg declining yearly. It's not like he's automatic down low or from 15 feet away. there's really zero evidence of him improving. there's flashes of his potential but too inconsistent
^ Declining yearly? He's only been in the league for 3 years and his minutes were way down this year which is a good thing.
I don't know about you but I rather have Blake putting up smaller numbers and the Clippers winning, rather than Blake putting up monster numbers and Clippers losing, I guess you look way too much into numbers.
He has improved his free throws. Which was a great sign. Once he has a legit coach, you will see a vast improvement in his game. He has all the tools, just needs the guidance.
Yes, his numbers have declined, but that doesn't tell the whole story. The players surrounding him in his 2nd and 3rd years were much better than the team his rookie year. That's the main reason his scoring is down. He hasn't done as much in the last two years because he hasn't needed to. Plus, he's vastly improved defensively from when he was a rookie.
newsflash. blake put lower number in the playoff and we loss. we loss badly! so we ain winning
will he ever win defensive player of the year? what's his ceiling in the defensive end
having better teammate doesnt excuse him from disappearing during crunch time and being passive
Blake's numbers weren't the reason we lost to Memphis.
And nobody is suggesting he'll ever be DPOY, but you act like he hasn't improved at all since he's been in the league, which just isn't true.
We've got issues on this team, but Blake isn't one of them. A better coach could easily help with some of the things you seem to perceive as Blake's flaws.
Orlando is not trading Vucevic, he's better than DJ and makes less than $2M next season and less than $3M the season after. I see no logic in doing that just to get Bledsoe. Vucevic was a 13/12 C per 36 this past season.
His PER if you want to go that route was the same (slightly but insignificantly higher) than DJ and he's 2 years younger and makes much less. Their new GM has been making shrewd moves, they wouldn't even entertain the offer. The only way Afflalo is coming is Caron and Bledsoe. Vucevic would only be moved to get a better player, not a worse one (he can play 4th quarters, DJ can't).
Bled isn't better than Afflalo either, and why would his potential be greater than a 22 year old second year C that just put up huge numbers?
I'm not so much in favor of a Howard acquisition, I just don't see how him and Blake work together on the floor. No doubt, it's an upgrade, but he can't shoot FT's either. If him and Paul both take pay cuts to make it happen, sure, if not then how do they expect a roster to be built?
Trading Blake for anybody in the league is frivolous, falatious, flatulent fuc*ing folly (sp). In two years he will be in the running for MVP. Next year when he dribbles dow the court I will no longer scream "Give it to a fuc*ing guard" I'll watch him take it to the rack. How can Blake deal with Godzilla and King Kong alone. He got tripled. Yeah his points were down. It's hard to score with Gasol and Randolph are on each leg humping him like my dear departed dog used to do.He need another in side presence.
Did anybody notice. D12 played a lot better when Kobe was gone. Do I smell a pout?
Having said that we would make Memphis toe jam.
I still would rather have Sasha Can't Spell His
Last Name and the other dude or the Lopez trade
I'd rather have a spread 5, Brand and some canabalistic MF as back up 5
Sorry. If LAL amnesties Pau I'd take him $4mill. He would play tougher without Kobe riding his tapas. Madrid rocks. That is if everything else goes south
Very, very unlikely this happens... but it does send a message to CP3 that we're not afraid to spend over the cap and set our sights on marquee free-agents. Clips will probably make a perfunctory effort to woo Dwight, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was little more than an intentional "leak" from within the organization to send the message that we're not intimidated by the lakers and in fact, in this brave new world, we're more likely to poach THEIR players than vice-versa.
Dude why did you destroy my Orlando fantasy? Are you going to tell me there is no Santa Claus next?
No, but he's not any lower then the 2nd worst.
Howard did remark about how he liked our teams family atmosphere, vocally longing for the Lakers to be that way.
Before the Grizzlies series, I was NOT a fan of getting DH. Offensively, it creates similar problems for BG's game that DJ does. However, between DH and BG we'd have less of a time struggling with rebounds and interior defense against teams like Memphis...I must admit.
If he's equal to the second worst doesn't that make him tied with Chauncey
There are 2 serious IF's here. If we can get rid of Butler and DJ and IF Howard takes about 3-4 mil. less just to be on a winning team with CP3. Looking at this, I think we should be able to have him at the 14 mil. mark.
Obviously, this would also mean no SVG coaching. Hmmm.....
SVG ain't won a cow pie.
Wonder what DTS thinks,,that is if he knows or cares,,about the rumors on how we and the media want to spend his money

Your safety is an extremely important consideration in the production of Milorganite. Milorganite meets the most stringent criteria imposed on any fertilizer product for health, safety and environmental concerns. Milorganite complies with all federal and local limits, which allows Milorganite to be used with confidence for all of your fertilizing needs, including grass, trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables.
Milorganite surpasses the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Exceptional Quality" criteria (see chart below), which establishes the strictest concentration limits in the fertilizer industry for heavy metals.
Milorganite holds itself to an even higher standard than the EPA requirement on polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), testing for an amount less than one part per million, a third less than the government requirement for a safe product.
Milorganite conducts 18-20 tests daily to ensure it is safe for use. No one else in the fertilizer industry tests this rigorously. Human health comes first at Milorganite and we systematically test more than anyone else to guarantee we put a safe product on the shelf.
Milorganite and all other fertilizers, both organic and synthetic, contain some heavy metals. In fact, plants need some heavy metals, such as copper, molybdenum, and zinc, for healthy growth. The concern with heavy metals in fertilizer is keeping their concentrations under limits deemed safe by EPA and state regulators. Milorganite is sampled daily (18-20 times) for the presence of heavy metals to evaluate compliance with these limits. Milorganite is the "gold standard" of biosolid fertilizers, with over 85 years of experience producing a product that is both safe and effective. For more information on the reduction of heavy metals in Milorganite visit our History page.
Milorganite is heat-dried in twelve rotary dryers that operate between 900⁰F and 1200⁰F. This extreme heat and dryness makes the survival of pathogens unlikely. Find out more on How We Make It.
Milorganite has been used safely around children and pets for over 85 years. For more on Milorganite, children and pets, please visit the Children and Pets page.
Phosphorous has come under scrutiny due to its ability to cause excessive algae and water plant growth in lakes and streams. Phosphorous is a necessary part of a fertility program, essential for early root formation and growth. Current research conducted by the University of Florida shows that phosphorous in Milorganite behaves differently than phosphorous in synthetic fertilizer. It is much less readily soluble, which means that Milorganite is less likely to move into groundwater, lakes and streams. However, this phosphorous is still available for plants to use. Milorganite's P stays out of groundwater and in the soil where plants need it. Learn more about Non-leaching Phosphorous.
Milorganite, like manures and other organic fertilizers, contains very low but detectable levels of pharmaceuticals and household and personal care products. To ensure consumer safety, Milorganite is actively monitored for a host of compounds that the EPA has ruled as being hazardous.
Pharmaceuticals have been passing through humans since their invention, but only recently has science gained the ability to measure chemicals at the extremely low concentrations we see today. Research at the University of Florida indicates that based on the EPA Triclosan reference dosage, it would be impossible to consume sufficient quantities of any of the vegetables to create adverse health effects.
When Milorganite is recycled to soil for nutrients, no evidence of harm has been found in earthworms, the primary exposure group. Research on earthworms continues as new classes of therapeutic drugs with distinct modes of action become popular. Public health and safety always comes first at Milorganite. For additional information visit the EPA website.

Read full expert reviewKeeping up with restaurants and tapas bars in Madrid is a full-time job, believe me. I can hardly step out of the door without seeing some new place that seems to have opened overnight. While you have to try one of the traditional red-checked-tablecloths places in the city, there are some great new gourmet tapas bars - or gastrobars as they're known - often with dishes devised by a Michelin-starred chef.
Madrid took a long time to wake up to delis, sandwich bars and the whole eat-on-the-go thing, but it is getting there now, which makes things a lot easier when you're a tourist in town and just need a quick bite.
When I'm eating out with friends, we usually share a few starters, even in a smart restaurant, then order a main course each. And we often share desserts too. If I'm having lunch on my own - tragic I know - I normally go for the menú del dia, which is a real bargain for around 10 euros. You usually get three courses with wine, beer, mineral water or a soft drink. The concept is aimed at people who have to get back to work, so the meal is usually served within an hour and won't mess too much with your sightseeing schedule.
* The price bands given in my recommendations are for three courses without wine.
* Lunch in restaurants is usually between 1.30pm and 3.30pm, and dinner from 9.30pm-11.30pm - these are the times the kitchen is open, with the restaurant staying open at least an hour later usually. You can eat outside these times in tapas bars and cafeterias, which are bars with plenty of tables and a good selection of uncomplicated hot food on the menu.
* The word menu in Spanish means a set meal. So remember to ask for la carta.
* It is often surprisingly expensive to eat out in Madrid these days. Starters can easily cost 8-12 euros, and main courses 12-24 euros. Desserts are usually 4-6 euros. House wine is approximately 9-13 euros, and a decent bottle of Rioja or Ribera del Duero is around 18-28 euros.
* Sharing tapas is a great tradition in Madrid and good fun too. Just bear in mind that ham, seafood and cheese can be quite pricey.
* A ración is a larger portion than a tapa, usually a small plate of food.
* If you only want a glass of wine with your meal, ask for una copa de vino tinto/blanco/rosado (red, white, rose). If you're going to have two each, however, it's probably cheaper to get a bottle.
* Don't overtip. Just rounding up to the next euro is fine for coffees, beers and bills under 10 euros – but a lot of locals leave nothing at all. My Spanish friends don't tend to tip more than 5% for meals, although personally I feel more comfortable leaving a bit more than that.
* 'Smart casual' clothes are fine for even the fanciest restaurant.
I've tried to choose a range of restaurants to suit most tastes and eventualities. Quite a few are places I go to regularly (sometimes for the last 25 years), others are special occasion favourites. There are several new discoveries, as Madrid's restaurant scene is so dynamic at the moment. While some are very well known, I have tried to include places that you probably wouldn't just come across yourself if you were wandering around. In areas where there are lots of bars and restaurants, I hope I'm steering you towards the best of the bunch. But of course places change, chefs leave, waiters move on... and it's just my opinion anyway - and that changes often enough too! So these selections are not set in stone. I'll be adding new suggestions, taking your comments on board, and if standards have clearly dropped somewhere, I'll be mercilessly pressing that delete button.

Hamels, Strasburg set to square off in series finale
Phillies looking to reach .500, draw even with Nationals in division
The Nationals' offense has struggled so much this season that manager Davey Johnson has taken matters into his own hands.
He's growing out his facial hair -- much to the dismay of his wife -- until the bats get going. After a 5-2 win Friday, the players said he should keep it.
"My wife said I could keep it one more day," Johnson said. "I was ready for a breakout again [Saturday] after 10 hits and five runs, but the players said I should keep it. They think it makes me look better."
Washington's offense didn't muster much against Jonathan Pettibone and Phillies relievers on Saturday in a 5-3 loss, as Pettibone's starts have meant success for the Phils this season. When Cole Hamels takes the ball for Philadelphia, however, it's the opposite. The Phillies have lost all four games Hamels has started in May and nine of 10 this season. He has a 4.45 ERA on the year.
Hamels didn't address the media following his loss on May 20, when he gave up two runs in six innings with 10 strikeouts in a 5-1 Phillies defeat to the Marlins.
"That's the competitor in him, that's the part that was upset," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said Tuesday. "Probably thought it was best that he didn't talk to you."
Hamels will take on Stephen Strasburg on Sunday, who is just 2-5 on the season despite throwing seven quality starts. Strasburg enters the series finale with a 2.66 ERA and a 2.95 K/BB ratio.
Nationals try to get bench involved
Johnson has been trying to get some of his bench players, most notably Steve Lombardozzi and Tyler Moore, in games more consistently.
"I'm trying to get them feeling good about how they're seeing the ball and how they're feeling," Johnson said. "A lot of times, the second year, if you've had a good year your first year ... everybody starts making adjustments to how they pitch to you. And as a young hitter, to become aware of that real quickly, sometimes it takes longer."
• When the Nationals have scored three or more runs in a game, they're 21-4, an indication of their ailing offense. When they score two or less, they're 4-20.
Phillies get bullpen help
Setup man Mike Adams will be activated Sunday after throwing a bullpen session Friday, and the Phillies will make a corresponding roster move. He has been on the disabled list with a strained back since May 11.
"While he was a little rusty after not having thrown in several days, he physically felt fine," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement.
Worth noting
• Hamels is 13-5 with a 2.57 ERA in his career against Washington. He's 3-1 with a 1.96 ERA at Nationals Park.
• Phillies players currently on the roster are hitting a combined .200 in 25 at-bats against Strasburg.
• The Phillies and Nationals both rank below the National League average in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

Blake & Ryan promote Turbo
A sparkly Blake Lively showed up at the NY premiere of Turbo last night to support her husband, Ryan Reynolds. She wore Burberry and a fresh, dewy summer face.

Thanks, Johnny Depp
Slaven Vlasic/ Getty

Ryan Reynolds vs Will Smith
Every year a big budget movie takes a sh-t at the box office. The other day I predicted that Will Smith's After Earth would hold that title in 2013. Sarah from Cinesnark didn't disagree, but after the trailer for R.I.P.D. was released last week, she thinks it might be R. Full Story
Blake & Ryan's first carpet... sort of
Wenn, Janet Mayer/ Splash
