Unfortunately, the history of the war is quite unknown not only in the world but in the region as well. Within Argentina, there is a historical debate between considering it as an unjust war or a legitimate one. It is difficult to make it seems as a just one by the fact that not only the allies killed Lopez -which will not make it unjust and it was the declared intention in the Secret treaty among the three countries-, but also they vociferated that Paraguayan should die in the wombs of their mothers and that the Guaranies were a heinous race, as Domingo Sarmiento wrote. They devastated the country, its incipient industry, divided the territory (the Iguazu falls was once part of Paraguayan territory), and they imposed heavy financial punishment that Paraguay managed to paid only in the mid 1900. The Paraguayan Chaco were also in dispute. Argentina wanted to annex it to their territory. The US president at that time Rutherford Birchard Hayes mediated the dispute and it remained to Paraguay.
Paraguay has a great history to dig in, and many of current exotic and eccentric Paraguayan life style can be explained by the wars they have faced. Unfortunately, Asuncion does not have a centre specialized in Paraguayan history (which is rich not only for the wars but also for its unique way in which it was conquered by the spaniards and the interesting way the Jesuits ran the missions in this area), neither there is any decent museum to see all this in the country.
Who started this war and why?
The answer to who stated it is Francisco Solano López, the Paraguayan president at that time. The answer to why, it is a bit more complex.
The Latin American nations had recently emerged. Argentina has been having visceral internal confrontations between the Federalist and the Unitarians. The government in Buenos Aires was unitarian. Paraguay was considered there as a revel Province, though Paraguay was independent since 1811. In Buenos Aires they took Paraguay as a model that was threatening their interest on unifying the country, though Paraguay was more that strictly neutral in this Argentinian conflict. Bartolomé Mitre, the Argentinian president at that time, though not personally, he insisted with the argument that Lopez government should not persist in time. He arranged a media campaign against Paraguay trough his newspaper "La Nación" for several years before the war.
Brazil has marked interest in Paraguay as well. Matto Grosso (MG) was difficult to access from Rio de Janeiro but only by boat through the Paraguay river. If Paraguay had managed to increase its power, Brazilian territory, MG, would have been lost for the empire. Besides this, Brazil was in a campaign against Argentina on the supremacy of the Southern Cone in South America. They were having a concealed fighting on who influence Uruguay the most. Argentina, Brazil knew it, will be even more fragmented than it actually was if the Unitarians forced a war against Paraguay because many Federalist saw this country as iconic for their cause. Brazil would have more chances to win the dispute on the supremacy on the Souther cone if Argentina got even more fragmented. There were also territorial disputes.
There it comes Lopez role on the war. He saw this scenario, both Argentina and Brazil´s interests on Paraguay. He thought he would not have any chance of defense if they both agree on an alliance. So he tried to get as much close to Uruguay as possible in order to leverage Paraguayan bargain power. Eventually, he wanted to intervene in the intromission of Brazil in an internal political push in Uruguay. He new that if Uruguay was dominated by Brazilian interest, the next Brazilian target would be Paraguay, so he wanted to stop Brazilian interference. Doing so, he thought Uruguay will do the same for Paraguay when either big players wanted to step in Paraguay. He was wrong. It is important to stress the fact that he possibly would have postpone the war for sometime had he not behave as impulsive as he did declaring the war to Brazil and later to Argentina. But the war was inevitable, the amount of political interest on the region burst in this war, and the rope were cut on the thinner part.
That's interesting. I've tried to read the main article but it seems I've reached my limit of six articles. F TE. Yes, actually I knew it was Lopez who started the war, but I was interested in a more complex view. I'm American, but I lived in Brazil for years. There they have and teach a very simplistic view of the war, which I must confess make some sense: Lopez wanted an exit to the sea, that's why it invaded Brazil.
This theory, though a little dubious since it comes from an involved side, made sense to me: both Paraguay and Bolivia are the poorest countries in SA today much because they are landlocked. A Sea route is very important for a country's development. What are your thoughts on this?
Ps: But anyway, be it for coast territory, or for strategic and political struggles, i still see Lopez as an overly presumptuous and foolish leader. Although Paraguay had a strong army then, it's obvious that it's still no match against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay together, I guess not even against Brazil or Argentina alone. Some sources say Paraguay took Brazil by surprise, which makes sense for Brazil took sometime to organize its troops in a counterattack, during which Paraguay advanced on Brazilian land. Paraguay, on the other hand, has been building a strong army for years. It seems to me that Lopez had much more aggressive and determined plans than Brazil or Argentina. I guess he though a strong, sudden and fast attack would get Brazil by surprise and Paraguay would win.
Still it seems to me that Paraguayans would be better off if they were annexed by Brazil or Argentina. Assuncion is strikingly poor, Mato Grosso, although poorer than Sao Paulo, is actually ok for Latin standards. Would that be too unthinkable then?
The Paraguayan desire for an exit to the sea is a very appealing claim and it makes sense, undoubtedly. Nonetheless, it is hard to find any historical evidence that the Paraguayan government was directly pursuing this. If you wish, it probably was a second step in a broader strategic plan drawn by Lopez, but we lack of proof on this point. What is certain is the fact that Brazil has had -and still has- expansionistic policies -it is does not make any sense the disproportion of size of any Latin American country and Brazil if you do not put in the equation the imperialist Brazilian mentality. Paraguay, in times of the colony, faced constant attacks from the "Bandeirantes", especially the whole chain of Jesuit missions that were settled in the limits with the spaniard and portuguese colonies. Some claim that the the Jesuit were expelled from the colony due to a very sharp diplomatic negotiation of the portuguese crown and the Vatican because the Jesuit were a barrier to the Brazilian expansion. So, I find more historical evidence that support the claim that Brazilian territorial and political interest on Paraguay were far conclusive to start a war. What Lopez did -it is my personal opinion- was only reading the geopolitical tensions and acted accordingly, though in a highly controversial manner, of course.
Well, you do have a point about Brazilian expanding territory. But then, it was a very common thing in the centuries following the "discovery" of the continent. And in everywhere else. Imperialism was very common until the end of the 19th century. Let's not forget the USA wasn't originally as big as it is today. The Europeans stole the land from the Natives and then stole it from each other. Frankly, to me it seems to be a pure game of strength, I don't think there is a right and wrong side when it comes to partition of American borders. If Brazilian bandeirantes were able to do what they did then, kudos to them, and foolish of the Spanish South America to fragment itself the way it did. About the war, regardless of which side was right, it was clear that Lopez thought his strong army could match a bigger but disorganized enemy. And that was the disgrace of his people. My personal opinion is that, regardless of what Brazil could have done with its imperialistic ambitions, I don't think it would have devastated the Paraguayan population as did the war. I don't think Lopez, or any other leader, was thinking about the masses, he was worried about securing his dominance, and about making a Latin Napoleon out of himself, that explain his reckless behavior. And certainly, aside empty and proud nationalism, the country would be better off as a part of a bigger and stronger country, but Paraguayan ruling elites would never let go of their power and privilege.
Definitively, Paraguay will be better off being a State within the Brazilian federation. If that is the goal, being annexed to Brazil is a much venerable way out of its poverty. Nonetheless, what many Paraguayans will say on this is that they do not pursue development by the solely sake of economical development. A pragmatic mentality will give very much less importance to a romantic concept of cultural identity, but this is what many Paraguayans think about themselves. It is the same thing as what makes the Scotch so reluctant to be ruled by the English.
A Paraguayan will say that what will gain economically being part of Brazil will be less valuable of what it will loose with the Brazilian culture. I agree that is a very nationalistic speech; nonetheless, Paraguayan past history gives sense to the present, so nobody is willing to hand in a piece of land that was fiercely defended by their ancestors. In fact, this can be seen on how the Brazilian strategy of cultural colonization in Paraguay, tough a very smart idea to solve the Paraguayan antipathy to Brazilians, is not working very well.
As there still are bleeding wounds; rationality in economic terms is not the priority really. And I found very difficult for Brazil to overcome this Paraguayan sense of unjust relationship, especially when in the bilateral negotiations Paraguay usually gets pig deals with its partner. I think Lula made a big step to solve this (you will have his speech on that at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM0DW0gB0H4 -in the minute 14); nonetheless, there is a long way to go in order to change the current state of affairs according to what is the perception in Asuncion.
Hope this made it clearer you concern on the possibility of annexation.
Well, I wasn't speaking specifically of Brazil, it could have become part of Argentina.I just think the Spanish America would be better off if they had stuck together. It amazes me how they have managed to fragment themselves into ten little states, many quite similar, while Brazil managed to hold it together.
About Paraguayan nationalistic pride, I don't think they had much of it when only 10% of the men was left after the war. I think back then people were more worried about surviving. Even the Economist states that nationalistic pride over the war developed gradually some time after the war. About the culture, I'm sure Paraguayan culture changed a lot with the immigrants they brought to replace the lost population.
Finally, I think Paraguayan politicians use the memories of war to distract people from domestic maladies and avoid blame. It's very easy and convenient to blame all their problems on the war and not on corruption among the ruling class and lack of education of the people.
Yes, you have made good points on your analysis.
Additional comments on the unity of Brazil and the fragmentation of other LATAM countries. Brazil was the only country that had brought the institutions from Europe -even the Portuguese monarch came and ruled it. If institutions matter, Brazil ran with advantage. This -in my view- gave them a very consistent and effective way of handling their territories and allow them to design long term policies, and to avoid fragmentation.
On the Paraguayan nationalistic pride, I do not think that it was developed after the war. In the battle fields, as a way of mocking both the Brazilian and Argentinian armies, the Paraguayans newspapers gave mottos to them with a sense of superiority. They called "pig-skin" to Argentinians and "monkeys" to Brazilians. Even today Paraguayan people refers informally to both as "Kurepí" and "Macacos".
Regarding the culture, if there were a discontinuity in the culture, the native language -i.e. the Guaraní- would have been disappeared; nonetheless, it is spoken by at least 80% of the population.
To your final point, I could not agree more on that; nonetheless, were the Paraguayan people had not perceived the past events as an unjust thing, it would not be such a tremendous consensus in Asuncion on the topic. Even the people that do not agree with the government will dare to say that the Triple Alliance was a honorable thing. Besides this, the main problems in the country are, as you mention, corruption and lack of education of the people which the politicians are not willing to addressed them, unfortunately.
My final point, if you are living in Brazil, you will probably have a particular way of perceiving the reality because of the inputs you receive. When it comes to perceive Paraguayan reality, Brazil becomes the worst place to be, even in Argentina this perception is better. If there is a nationality that Brazilians do not hesitate to depreciate -with or without reason- is the Paraguayan.
Well, according to my knowledge of History and simple analyses of ancient maps, it seems quite clear the reason for the disproportion of size between Brazil and its neighbors: its neighbors were once part of huge Vice-Royalties that became more and more fragmented as independent republics; while Brazil, after several civil separatist wars - few of which really strong enough to mean a serious threat to the country's territorial integrity -, and because it became independent without sudden ruptures, keeping its monarchy and only gradually moving towards Republic, was not fragmented and, surprise!, it became huge in comparison to its neighbors. I think there is no coincidence in the fact that there is only one Portuguese-speaking country in SA, which happens to be that huge Brazil, while there is a dozen of Spanish-speaking countries. Now, if you mean Brazil's expansion during the 16th and 17th century, it was only "officially" made on Spanish lands, because all of them were actually unsettled by Spaniards and were the home of native peoples, so it was only a matter of "who conquered first", and the Portuguese-Brazilians were better at that expansion that their Spanish-American counterparts, who were also too busy in the mines of Bolivia, Peru etc. to really care about what is now Brazil's West.

Combined Online Information System
The Combined Online Information System (COINS) is the database for UK Government expenditure. The data is used to produce expenditure data in the Budget report; Supply Estimates; Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses (PESA); Whole of Government Accounts (WGA); the monthly Public Sector Finance Releases. It is also used by the ONS for other National Statistics releases.
At the release of the COINS raw data in June 2010, the government committed to publishing additional datasets utilising the COINS raw data. In August 2010 we published the first of these datasets showing in year time series data. The in-year dataset is updated quarterly and will be published in the links below.
The aim of these datasets is to make key parts of the COINS data accessible, manageable and comprehensible to the wider public, whilst maintaining a low level of aggregation. Datasets for the time series and for the outturn to budget comparison can assist in interpreting the COINS raw data. At the same time users will be able to drill down behind previously released high level aggregates.
More information regarding the COINS releases can be found at: http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/psr_coins_data.htm

I'm always shocked at how many Linux people are so rabidly against anything closed source. I think there are lines that may or may not be crossed. For example, I want a completely free operating system. Important things relating to my work I generally insist on an open source solution -- unless one absolutely does not exist or isn't at all workable. I can't live with having my important work data (or a customers) locked into a proprietary solution if a OSS solution exists. Thats a real time bomb to me. The operating systems and the services I run on them are important and thus I want open source.
But games, no. Games are just entertainment. I don't view them as different than say, watching a movie. I watch the movie, I can't change it. I can't edit the script or choice of actors before or after I watch it. You pay the money to watch it as it is, and if you don't like it well, its not like you can't watch something else later or suddenly your lifes work is destroyed. Same with a game. You buy the game, play it. If you had fun with it then it has completed its only purpose. If I hate the game nothing further bad happens. On this note too, my roommate and I often make short movies. The presence of hollywood movies hasn't prevented us from doing that either.
Installing steam and buying a few games doesn't make the rest of my operating system, or my servers, or anything else suddenly less free. They are just as free as they were before. All steam does is allow users who want to be entertained by games in linux do exactly that. It doesn't hurt those who aren't interested -- oh, and I hear about how it kills interest in Open Source games but lets just stop bullshitting, those rarely go anywhere. There are some great open source games and they'll continue to be around too for the same reasons they are around now. The presence of closed source games on windows hasn't effected them and it won't on linux. Whether you like the "Triple A" titles or not isn't relevant to anyone but you.
If you want to play closed source commercial games in Linux now you finally have some options too. If you don't, then please just shut up for christ sakes and let those of us who do enjoy ourselves. If there is some HUGE WORLD ENDING CATACLYSM because of it then we'll be the only ones hurt by it and you can totally feel free to show up then with your "OMG! I told you so!!!" speech. But we all know that isn't going to happen. Life and Linux will continue on like it always has, only some of us get a few more entertainment options.
Some people just need to calm down and let people do what they want.

It's more annoying if you have one CRT and one TFT and only one VGA and one DVI connection on graphicscard. xD
Phoronix: Linux Multi-Monitor Support Could Be Improved
While some want Linux multi-monitor support removed, others are looking for it to be improved. Multiple display support for Linux has improved over the years with X.Org and desktop environment advancements, it's still generally less than ideal, especially for Linux gamers...
It's more annoying if you have one CRT and one TFT and only one VGA and one DVI connection on graphicscard. xD
I can defiantly attest to this. I have two monitors, one is a smaller resolution (and different aspect ratio) than the other. Many games have a very hard time going full-screen. It's like the coders simply never tested their games on a multi-monitor setup...
multi-monitor, bha haha. windows nt had a perfectly working KMS since 1993. Ten years later and nomodeset is one of the most popular options in grub. maybe in a century they'll have proper mixing in pulseaudio and hybrid gpu support.
i multi display and at times multiseat my computer for my friends (although steam gets mad that two people are trying to start steam)
my nvidia card has seemed to be able to patch things, as it has 2 video slots, but it also seemed to screw things up
gnome and gnome classic are brokedid, if you ever access gnome classic, it ads another set of buttons, for every time you do it, forever
unity also has problems with details (window viewer is black, and a few other things) under a 2 monitor situation
so yea, improvements i guess, the person above me needs to apologize though, dont be hating on free software, its not as bad as this situation recalls either
KMS? Any open source driver should have perfect KMS for any supported hardware (RadeonSI may even have KMS working right if you pull from git)
Pulseaudio mixing? Works fine on my end with any Intel sound card, and AMD HDMI audio (with both Catalyst and with Fedora 17's ATI driver.) I cant attest to any others since I dont do discrete sound cards, just built in
Hybrid GPU support? Xorg 1.13 (released the other day) and any open source driver OR soon the Nvidia proprietary driver. AMD Catalyst I heard has a built-in intel driver to be able to control the integrated GPU but i'm not positive on that.
Does Windows currently have a headstart on some "Desktop" features? Yeah, they do. They've cared about the desktop a lot longer than the Linux community has. But I'm noticing that what took Windows from 1995 up through 7 (Vista didnt support hybrid graphcs, i think) the Linux community has managed to do since 2009.
Why do I say 2009? Because Ubuntu 9.10 was the first Linux distro I used for more than a month and sound frequently broke, i had to use nomodeset just like you said, and hybrid graphics didnt exist yet. Now we're at 12.10 and hybrid has a solution in place, just working on support. and 13.04 should have a pretty nice graphics stack to play around with.
I use Ubuntu because theyre releases are time-stamped. Just made things easier for the example. Frankly, Fedora will be in an even better position. And Arch and gentoo can more easily pull from git so they are in an even BETTER situation. So April of next year is kind of the backend of when things should work.
Same here, which is why I now use Zaphod Mode. I am too much of a gamer to have to keep dealing with this crap, and in the end Zaphod syncs better with my workflow anyway as I like to keep my two screens almost completely separate. Still some annoyances, as of course you can no longer drag windows, but I have a nice panel launcher set to auto-hide on the second screen for getting around that and easily allowing me to launch my necessarily applications. Xfce even allows me to set a different wallpaper for each screen, although I would much rather it gave me an option to turn off the icons on the second screen. There is also a problem with some programs refusing to open up a new session if there is already one open on another screen, but that is a rare issue.
Going back to complaining about xfdesktop, it also has a nasty habit of rearranging your desktop icons upon a screen resolution change. I now keep a permanent backup of it's icon position configuration files in ~/.config/xfce4/desktop for the many times I have had to restore them back to their original state, and often just turn the desktop off for long periods in frustration (which, coincidentally, does finally allow me to have my second screen free of icons). In the end, the best way I think for a game to handle this is to give the users the option to set what they want themselves in the games launcher, like how Shadowgrounds, Trine, and Amnesia handle it. No game should ever assume anything by itself.
Xinerama doesn't have compositing. Fine, Nvidia's twinview only supports 2 screens but has compositing. So I setup two cards and separate x servers. But kde doesn't work well with multi-head and needs rewritting.
Wasn't there a time when linux was used for bleeding edge hardware and setups, or was it always just to revive old computers?
I personally haven't found much of a need for multi-monitor support, at least not under 1 desktop session. I enjoy multi-dispaly setups in which I only have 1 display that I actively use, with the rest as idle and used for miscelaneous information. Other than that, in linux I just feel there isn't much of a need for multiple monitors for a typical user. In Windows, you don't get multiple desktops so multiple monitors can become a necessity. But in the end, I personally feel there just isn't a point of having more than 1 unless you NEED to keep track of several different things at the same time.
I feel like if you're running several services/procedures at the same time, a multi-monitor setup is necessary. I think if you need to monitor live data (such as the stock market), it is necessary. I think if you're running simulated environments, its necessary. They're necessary for photo/video editing, but for most artists it isn't needed at all. They're also great for multi-user setups. Just about everything else, I personally feel multiple monitors are a waste.
Windows has KMS (or something like that?) since when? Last time I checked (granted, some people say it doesn't crash anymore) it still does a BSOD in 'text' mode right? The white on Blue remember?
Now if you would have said OS X has 'KMS' since god knows when, you had a very valid point. But at least XP booted something that was more like 'bootsplash' if anything.

Beginner Sailing - Small boat to learn by doing or larger boat to watch and learn?
Like (0)
I learned to sail on a small boat and moved up in the rankings so to speak as my sailing experience and knowledge grew. I started off on a boat that looked like a bath tub with a sail then moved on to sunfish as a beginner. I just did what my sailing camp told me to do, but do you think its better for a beginner learning to sail to start off on a small boat and learn by doing or on a larger boat to watch and learn?
Definately start on small and learn by doing (IMHO)
What sort of boat would you suggest?
I suggest a laser because they have fleets all over the world, and are relatively inexpensive. Also, Lasers race and sail at all levels, from your friday night beer can racing to the olympics. I think that the boat you are refering to when you mentioned a bathtub is the Optimast. That is the boat that I learned to race on.
Yes! I think that is the right name of the boat. Thank you. Sounds like you have a lot of experience? Do you race?
I race as much as I can.
What helped me alot before I took lessons, was having a bit of knowledge beforehand. I think I got more put of the class knowing the nomenclature, etc than I would if I had gone in cold turkey. We started on smaller boats and eventually migrated to larger. Main differences were the running rigging and keels...I actually prefer the smaller boats...I like being able to lower and raise the center board according to the point of sail I am on. Instead of using books, I used learntosailonline.com...I also purchased learn sailing software..(learntosail.net) I still use these for review and find them quite handy. Hope this helps other new sailors and Happy sailing!
Yeah, having some expierence beforehand definatly helps. I grew up living on a sailboat, that expierence helped me on the little boats.
So you went in reverse, so to speak. Anyway, there is a free sailing teleseminar this Thursday (actually I think they are having them every Thursday) with sign up form at
http://learntosailonline.com/seminarsignup.htm in case you are interested..
Interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a sample of how Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day was celebrated across the region.
Special Olympics Italy directors and co-ordinators gather to mark EKS Day.
On the 21-23 September, Special Olympics Italy celebrated Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day by hosting its annual meeting for all Special Olympics directors, technical coordinators and some regional representatives across Italy. A total of 80 people attended. The main topic for discussion was Special Olympics Italy's strategic plan for the next four years as well as an introduction to our new brand identity guidelines and a special ceremony to commemorate our beloved founded Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
Special Olympics is also busy preparing to host the SOEE Football Conference in collaboration with UEFA which will take place in Rome from October 5 – 7. The conference will bring together football coordinators from across the Europe/Eurasia region working together to expand more opportunities for athletes to participate and transform their lives through football.
Long-time football partners UEFA will also attend and speak at the conference and participants will also enjoy contributions from members of the Italian Football Federation and the Turkish Football Federation. Visit here for more information on our football programme at Special Olympics.
Athletes cycle for EKS Day in Greece.
400 athletes participated in the EKS Day Special Olympics Sports Experience in co-operation with the Municipality of Ilioupolis. Athletes took part in Football, Basketball, Badminton, Bocce and Cycling.
Basketball was a huge draw on the day.
More than 1000 citizens of Ilioupolis, 250 volunteers, 120 family members, 45 Special Olympics Hellas Coaches, all members of the Municipal Council, Police officials, Special Olympics Hellas Board members and several SOWSG Athens 2011 staff members attended the event.
Special Olympics Ukraine celebrated EKS Day with a "Play Unified to Live Unified" event for young athletes in two cities Kyiv and Kirovograd. 20 new young athletes and 20 new family members took part.
These athletes will represent Special Olympics Cyprus at the European Bowling Tournament which will be held 21-26 October in the city of Paphos, Cyprus.
As part of the World Championship Bowling Special Olympics Cyprus athletes took part in a Bowling exhibition game dedicated to the memory Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
This event took place on Friday, September 21st, 2012 at Galactica Bowling in Limassol.

Message boards : Technical News : Up (Dec 07 2010)
Today was a "normal" Tuesday outage to back up the mysql database. You may have noted the result table sizes have dropped considerably since we turned on the "resend-lost-results." Hopefully this solved a lot of the ghost workunit problems people have been wondering about forever. If the database can handle it, no reason to leave that setting as is. A lot of people also noticed the server status page line "Results returned and awaiting validation" should really read "Results returned and awaiting validation as long as all the other back-end queues are zero." So most of the time this reads correctly, but if there's a large backlog somewhere this can be quite misleading. It's a painful query to get exactly what we want all the time, so fixing this is low priority. Meanwhile, after the outage we started the splitters up (though there were some initial configuration snags that required a quick shut down and restart). Actual new work is being generated and sent. So here we are. Well, not so fast. I'd say we're "at the light at the end of the tunnel" as far as the public side is concerned, but there is still major cleanup on the inside before we're fully out of the tunnel. Some agenda items include: 1. Getting oscar up to speed: Right now it's operating pretty much as fast as thumper (which seems disappointing at first), though without using any CPU or disk i/o (which means it's able to do a LOT MORE if we tell it to). That's because informix is configured exactly as it was on thumper, so there are some artificial bottlenecks in place. We're collecting stats to understand what knobs to turn, and then we'll really crank them up. 2. Converting thumper to it's new role as internal file server: Remember that our main internal file server (which houses a bunch of important, heavy-random-access data and accounts) is as much of a crashy liability as mork was. So this conversion still needs to take place, but can happen over time while we're live. 3. Basic electrical stuff: Jeff and I tried to move as much around as possible, but there's still some server closet power issues to address. 4. All the tiny specks of sysadmin revolving around replacing old servers with new ones (dangling mounts, dead entries in /etc/hosts, zillions of scripts referring to now-defunct paths, etc.). I'm also busy revving up the engine to start sending out the annual end-of-the-year news/funding drive mass e-mail. I know many of you already donated in some form or another (thank you!) but this sort of thing needs to happen. I apologize for any redundancy on this front. - Matt ____________ -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Thanks for the update. Nice to see things going again :-) ____________
Thanks for the update Matt, good to have thing running again properly, Claggy
Cut over complete, you earned a cookie. Of course there is clean up and spit polishing. But YAY!!! ____________ Janice
Thats' great to hear. Got a new work unit today when I just decided to check to see if things were up and running. Now that they are I am up in the air riht now if I should contune to run Enstein@home and Seti@home at the same time. I think Enstien slows my computer down alot much more then Seti ever did. Must have bigger files over at Eistien.
Congratulations and thanks for all your (plural) hard work. Thanks for reminding us about the work still needed to convert Thumper. It was easy to think you could all now go to Hawaii for vacation. I guess this means that Ptolemy is still likely to crap out at some random moment, effectively halting the whole shebang, at least for a little while. Good luck with that Ptolemy conversion to Thumper. When you can, could you please speak to the new Raid that was installed on Oscar and Carolyn? I recall long, long ago that you were eager to change Raid-5 to Raid-10, or something like that. How did that go for you? Thanks for everything. Swibby Bear (Whit)
Does this mean I won the pool? (Practicing his happy feet dance.)

wow.. finally got a batch, and they downloaded in record time. WTG!!!!! ____________ Janice
All 4 of my machines have varying amounts of work, slowly building. Only the GPU's have been able to return the results faster than they are coming in. It looks as if the splitters are *almost* able to max the link out, which might be a good thing. With 0 WU's waiting to be sent when the project went live again, the link didn't completely peg at ~90mb immediately. Sooo, that's good news for possible ghost avoidance and download speed :) ____________
If the database can handle it, no reason to leave that setting as is.
Hip! Hip! ____________
thanks for all your hard work the couple of last weeks lets crunch again gr Jeroen
Thank you for the strong and successful commitment! This is a day we will remember! Now let's hope we are lucky and that the next WU we crunch will be carrying Christmas greetings from Aldebaran! ;-) Sleepy ____________
I gots lots!!! I can keep my apartment warm again!! Thanks for all the hard work!! Merry Crunching! ____________

The U.S and China could kill two birds with one stone. Why not make a deal where the U.S drops Israel and China drops North Korea? Both could pretend they're giving something up so nobody loses face, both would save money and the whole world would be better off.
Once cut off from mommy and daddy, both Israel and NK would have to stop throwing tantrums, face reality, and deal with their problems. The rest of us could finally ignore them both and get on with more important things.
I have better suggestion how about if Israel allies itself with Russia and China and the US can have NK?
Would you prefer that? It's not a bad idea!
Interesting suggestion - Israel would have to give up all the occupied territories, sign the NPT, give up nuclear weapons and stop harassing Iran. Have you read the Russian and Chinese leadership's position on all these issues??
I don't have to read their position. Both China and Russia would in a blink opt for such a trade with the Americans.
The Palestinians would become irrelevant.
There would be no more need for Syria.
They would not be afraid of NATO and their allies.
And why would they defang a mega power positioned strategically in the belly of the Middle East and at the foot of Europe, Africa?
Stop harassing Iran? Iran would curl up and shut up to delight of one and all.
The more I think of it, I'm surprised the Israelis haven't thought of the same or have they?
Sounds like the decent thing to do. But these are Zionists. They are not like us.
There is one problem I can think of.
Israel's immediate ballistic defence depends on a US-owned, Turkey based radar, and on a set of Spain-based, last-generation destroyers (for the record, Turkey and Spain both are NATO countries).
The offer to trade that protection for a potential alternative Russian- or Chinese-provided contraption seems interesting.
While the occasional bout of spontaneous narcisism may be understood, the idea of convincing sensible Israelis to dump the US for Russia/China, in order to better be able to carry on with their current treatment of Palestinias, however sounds a bit exotic.
But then again, one would think the mere prospect of receiveing anywhere near the BUSD 3 the US destines to Israel every year in military aid alone, should be enough to get every Palestinian soldier salivating.
Are you sure you insist that Israel is ready to give the proposed plan a go?

I think you missed my point from which this thread came from.
I tried to point out that the affinity of the US and Israel is not one sided.
The Israeli lobby doesn't have to work hard to make sure that as an important ally it is also in the interest of the US that its ally remain in top form.
To highlight that point I suggested a hypothetical situation where Israel was in the Russian/Chinese camp.
What would be an advantage to the new ally and what kind of a loss to the old one.
Just to keep the scenario interesting ill respond to your points.
The Russian missile defence system promised but not delivered to Iran is the best in the world.
Syria has the prior version.(probably the one that brought down the Turkish fighter).
The ballistic defence system in Turkey is actually a joint Israeli and American venture, as is the Patriot and the new improved Israeli Iron dome system. So Israel is also an innovator of military technology.
Lastly, and not meant in a narcissistic way, the US can pump a lot of money and weapons into Palestine, they would have to use it effectively.
It would a good while before that would be a reality.
It would also mean that Russia / china also would have a port and a willing and able partner and ally in Israel, an Israel that is well seasoned and nuclear capable, at the foot of EU, at the side of Africa and entrenched firmly in the M.E.
Do you think the US would quickly give up a swap like that?
I guess the CIA has discovered your line of thinking - they are happily "leaking" information about Mossad's "false flag operations".
Foreign Policy magazine (January 2012):
"Buried deep in the archives of America's intelligence services are a series of memos, written during the last years of President George W. Bush's administration, that describe how Israeli Mossad officers recruited operatives belonging to the terrorist group Jundallah by passing themselves off as American agents. According to two U.S. intelligence officials, the Israelis, flush with American dollars and toting U.S. passports, posed as CIA officers in recruiting Jundallah operatives -- what is commonly referred to as a "false flag" operation."
"Mossad has planted a few dozen agents in the CIA. Since they tend to be US nationals, they have managed to evade scrutiny. The Obama administration is deeply worried......."
"But while the memos show that the United States had barred even the most incidental contact with Jundallah, according to both intelligence officers, the same was not true for Israel's Mossad. The memos also detail CIA field reports saying that Israel's recruiting activities occurred under the nose of U.S. intelligence officers, most notably in London, the capital of one of Israel's ostensible allies, where Mossad officers posing as CIA operatives met with Jundallah officials."
"Interviews with six currently serving or recently retired intelligence officers over the last 18 months have helped to fill in the blanks of the Israeli false-flag operation. In addition to the two currently serving U.S. intelligence officers, the existence of the Israeli false-flag operation was confirmed to me by four retired intelligence officers who have served in the CIA or have monitored Israeli intelligence operations from senior positions inside the U.S. government."
Incidentally these "false flag" operations by Israel have been going on to the past few years - e.g., four Mossad agents were picked up by Pakistan's intelligence a few weeks ago - trying to cross the border into Iran - they were US-trained IT specialists. They confessed that their mission was to paralyze (government) computer networks. They were handed over to Iran - Russia has taken them for a "short trip" to Siberia.
European intelligence agencies have also alerted the USA about these "false flag operations" by Israel. As Foreign Policy reports:
"The issue has now returned to the spotlight with the string of assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and has outraged serving and retired intelligence officers who fear that Israeli operations are endangering American lives.
"This certainly isn't the first time this has happened, though it's the worst case I've heard of," former Centcom chief and retired Gen. Joe Hoar said of the Israeli operation upon being informed of it. "But while false-flag operations are hardly new, they're extremely dangerous. You're basically using your friendship with an ally for your own purposes. Israel is playing with fire. It gets us involved in their covert war, whether we want to be involved or not."
The Israeli operation left a number of recently retired CIA officers sputtering in frustration. "It's going to be pretty hard for the U.S. to distance itself from an Israeli attack on Iran with this kind of thing going on," one of them told me."
Therefore, Mr/Ms Zbignew, your friends are hard at work to "provide an excuse for Israel and the US to attack." The key issue is: will the USA be baited by false information or does the USA have a moral (and ethical) backbone to make its own independent decisions??? We will find out during Obama's trip. In the meantime, back home in Washington, the thinking has changed after the military debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan. "It was a fundamental conviction of Bush and his top officials that the most powerful military on the planet could bring any state in the Greater Middle East to heel in a "cakewalk." Today, in the wake of two failed wars on the Eurasian continent, a de-romanticized version of that conviction has become the deeply embedded. No American president in his second term (where legacy becomes a paramount issue) has ever committed American military power to an unattainable objective. Particularly when the difficult financial situation requires the complete goodwill of China, who has already warned the USA about the consequences of military intervention without the full approval of the UN."
Im really not famialiar with what you have written and more to the point your point is what?
That spy agencies use all kind of nasty tricks in their work. Even allies.
As it was famously so during the war between England and the US or other allies.
But Im still not sure what your comments ahve to do with a hypothetical situation I made up with the point that the Israeli/US alliance is one of mostly mutual intersts, if not everywhere than more so with each other than with Russia and China.
But now that you've got me thinking anything is possible.
What I wrote was that Mossad is created "false flag operations" to try and bait America into attacking Iran. However, several Mossad agents have been caught by the CIA, some have been caught by Pakistan (and handed over to China) and the European countries are on full alert for "false flag operations".

Love this iPhone 4 case! It so beats Otterbox! Very affordable, sturdy and easy to clean and put together. It still has the inner rubber pratection plus the outershell. I will definitely purchase more!
I've seen this case at other places for 3 or 4 times this price. I bought it for my rough on phones brother and he loves it!!! It's super tough and protective and comfortable to use. It's also attractive. Another great Overstock.com purchase!!!
The case is made of a strudy material and appears to be of good quality. I am very pleased that the cutouts for charger, cameras and headphone were well designed.
i love this phone case. It is sturdy, drop resistant and a great vibrant color.
It's not to hard but not to soft and it protects the phone nicely
I purchased this case for my iPhone and my after a while my phone would mute and press buttons while I was on a call. I couldn't figure out why this was happening so I removed the case and it stopped muting and pressing buttons. The case must cover something on the phone. Not happy with this case at all.
this is junk ! does not fit and the outer cover falls apart

Top Definition
An almost sarcastic response to something so seemingly simple you shouldn't have to ask the question to begin with. Could also be an affectionate term meaning again that the answer should be obvious but you just missed it. It is said so quickly, it almost sounds like one long word.
"He's owes me money that's why you haven't seen him. You don't know? He better not come around here".

Detroit � You could see Monday how much has changed in Detroit, and it wasn�t only because winter was dead and fans could jam Comerica Park without fear of being treated at Detroit Medical Center�s frostbite ward.
Opening Day�s weather was glorious. But the baseball was more interesting, maybe for what it said about a Tigers team that played badly enough to lose and still won with a 4-3 ambush of the Royals.
No matter how this long season plays out, Monday�s ninth inning, alone, showed how Dave Dombrowski�s roster strategy for 2014 could pay off, after all. How elements of youth, age, and speed are now part of a blend designed to deliver a World Series the heavyweight 2013 crew and 29 past Tigers teams failed to win.
Begin with a replay of that ninth. Joe Nathan, the new closer for the Tigers, arrived at the top and put away the Royals with a 13-pitch, 1-2-3 wipeout. None of Monday�s Comerica sunbathers seemed to miss Nathan�s predecessors, Jose Valverde or Joaquin Benoit.
Shift to the Tigers half of the ninth inning. Alex Avila deftly drew a walk. Brad Ausmus, who was working his first game as Tigers manager even if he was super-casual about a day so special, gave Avila the hook and replaced him with a rookie, Tyler Collins, whose legs were destined to be an edge over Avila�s wheels.
Nick Castellanos came to bat. He is 22 years old. He also can hit � and think. He got down in the count, took a close pitch, then whistled a single to right-center that sent Collins steaming into third, at which point he scored when one of the team�s graybeards, Alex Gonzalez, ripped a single to left.
Ballgame. But more than a ballgame, it popped open a window on this particular team and its blend of codgers and kids. This was a game, for all its early ugliness, that turned into a carefully crafted victory over a skilled Royals team that could yet win the American League Central.
On the other side
Castellanos and Nathan stood in the Tigers clubhouse afterward, as Robin Thicke music bounced against the lockers. Each man, in his craft, in his thinking, in the extremes of age and experience that they bring to this particular Tigers roster, spoke to personnel qualities Dombrowski made part of his 2014 blueprint.
Nathan, even at 39, talked about the shivers he felt Monday as he tromped across that new green Comerica sod that felt as if it was rocking from the cheers of 45,068 customers.
�Yeah, you try and block it out,� he said. �I was already amped up. I just wanted to focus, listen to the music (his welcome-to-the-mound tune), throw strikes. And get three outs.�
He was asked if he felt the appreciation from fans who once viewed him as the embodiment of those old and evil Tigers-killing Twins teams.
�Yeah, but even then,� Nathan said of the Detroit crowd, �it was a good �I hate you,� not a bad, �I hate you.� �
What he was feeling Monday was pure, unconditional affection born of a Tigers camp that is sick of suffering ninth-inning anxiety attacks. His response was to handle the Royals the way he once vaporized any Tigers in his sight.
Showing composure
Castellanos is on the 2014 spectrum�s opposite end. He was standing a few feet away to Nathan�s right as the interviewers sought profundities from a third baseman who had a pair of hits Monday. He tends to be a serious lad, but Castellanos actually was grinning Monday.
It was his first Opening Day and he admitted that his nerves all but had him for lunch. He botched a pop-up near the seats and later made a silly out at second base when he tried to stretch a single into a double.
But, in the ninth, against tough Royals reliever Wade Davis, Castellanos put together a brand of at-bat that explains why there was never any doubt who would play third base for the Tigers in 2014.
He was down in the count, 1-2, to Davis when he laid off a miserable pitch away designed to undress a kid hitter The next pitch was a knuckle-curve that Castellanos ripped into right-center field. At work during a game-changing at-bat were Castellanos� talent as well as his approach.
�That pitch I took (1-and-2) gave me confidence for the next one,� Castellanos said. �I said I�ll wait on it and I�ll hit that fastball off my knuckles if I have to.�
He meant that he would not over-commit, that he would allow the pitch to �get deep,� as they say. He stayed behind it, laced it to right-center, and with Collins sprinting to third, the Tigers had arranged a rally wrapped and ribboned when Gonzalez, 37, drilled a Greg Holland pitch to left field. It drove home Collins with the run that won a game for the Tigers and sent Comerica�s crowd to the saloons for a celebratory round.
This was one game for the Tigers, one very flawed game. It had every right to have been tucked triumphantly into the Royals� Opening Day archives.
But not because of anything random or cheap did the Tigers end up turning Monday�s early-innings fright fest into a victory. It was attached, however directly or indirectly, to a roster designed to win in precisely the fashion the Tigers.
It won�t always turn out the way Monday�s matinee did. But the components are there. And that alone should make Ausmus � as well as his boss, Dombrowski � feel as if this particular bunch has more than a chance.
