How I got my mom to game: Adventure Inlay
My dad's a gamer. He's just naturally into them. We bought Mike Tyson's Punch out back in 1988 and I soon learned that I could not stand next to him while he was playing or I'd get a right hook to the face, years before Wiita... more

I have always enjoyed playing with machinery and hardware and had dreamed of one day owning a CNC to do my bidding. The biggest obstacle in my way had always been cost though. THe machines are just not very cheap and most of us hobbiest cant afford to throw down that kind of cash just for a machine. As I had resided to having this as a mere fanciful dream something wonderful happened. A friend of my surprised me by bringing one of these machines within my grasp. I am extremely grateful to him for this. I would finally be able to produce parts of the highest quality with the ease that advanced machinery brings to our lives. I mean, it is so easy that it is taking away from the true skill of creating things by hand. Right?
It is this question (or statement) that has brung me to write this little blog if you will. What is involved in this process? How much skill is involved? What is the learning curve?
These are all questions which I am hoping to explore and share with all of you as I take on the task of learning an entirely new process. I will let it be know that I have absolutely no experience in this. I had a college corse in basic 2d CAD over 10 yrs ago( of which I remember nothing). My experience with computer controlled machines is exactly zero. Even in the Navy everything I did was manually or mechanically operate. Remember I was a mechanic not on of those wire biters.
Now lets get up to date of where we are at this point.
I was fortunate enough to have been in the process of building myself a nice little soldering station in my work shop. Why is that fortunate? This darn thing needs lots of dedicated and stable space. It has a bed measuring 4' x 2'. This is a great size for me and my 1/96 obsession. Bassically I will be able to make a 1/96 nautilus in top and bottom halves without the need of joining piece together after cutting!!!
The unit I am using was made by a company called Moose Creek. It is not top of the line like a K2 unit but it will definitely get the job done for what we have in mind. Im not planning on building parts for a satellite. We can put that on the future project bench. Included with the recieved package was the bed, rails, stepper motors and motor controller. These may not be the official terms for these items but this will be corrected after some books come and the knowledge base is increased. It also came with to router mounts. One for a dremel motor and one for a rotozip.
The first big lesson: Hardware
At first I thought this was going to be a quick and easy thing to get going (much like many other people would probably assume). This was not to be the case. I still need quite a few things to make this a productive tool. First would be a router. I looked at the dremel and then the rotozip and it was very obvios that the rotozip would be the better option for this tool. It has more power and better construction then the dremels do. I have also burned out quite a few dremels in normal use let alone continuos hours of operation. This is obviously not the a big concern as the rotozip with the variable drive sells for around 150 dollars.
The next hurdle I discovered was that the controller box required a parallel printer port. None of the computers in my house had one of these. A quick email to family members for their old laptops and in the next week I had two equally powerful used laptops at my door. Things were starting to look promising. That is until the next hurdle.
The software I decided to get me interfacing with the motor controllers is called MACH II. You can get this older version of the software from the manufacturer for free or pay around 150 for the newer MACH III. I of course went with the pocket saving MACH II to get me started. Unfortunately to my surprise I found out after the fact that neither are recommended for use with a laptop. Well why the heck not!?!?!? I was a bit set back. SO, I hit the forums to find out. It turns out that since most laptops are designed to save as much power as possible, most are designed to go into a processor power saving mode. This action can cause an interrupt in the pulse or data stream to the CNC causing errors or "crashing". Other with more knowledge can feel free to correct or agree on this. Can you imagine being at the end of a 12+ hours cut just to have the machine mess it all up due to a hiccup in the cpu. Yuck! At this moment I can decide to try the laptops and hope for the best or I can attempt to resurrect my old desktop (thank god I kept it for some reason) and add a port to it. I decided for resurrection! Better to be safe then sorry. Why take the easy path and cross your fingers when the hard path will yield pre determined results? I am still working on the desktop and am waiting on the new port to show.
Lesson 2: Its not just hardware
Its all about software. It seems to be nearly a 50/50 shot to the wallet when it comes to these things (depending on the parts and such of course). The software for this can add up fast. I have chosen (under recommendation from various friends) to use 3 programs.
Rhino- a cad program that is used to create what ever item you wish to create. This runs around 1000 for a licensed program
Visual Mill- This program crates G code or the tool path. Essentially it takes the drawing from Rhino and converts it into pathway for the cnc to follow to create your item. This was recommended because it is fairly easy to use and very easy to make hold tabs, little pieces that arent removed to hold the part in place. This I believe is around 700. Im not sure because it is one of those "call for price" which is never a good sign.
MACH III- This program takes the G code and uses it to directly control the CNC machine to create your item. As stated before you can go for free or choose the 150 dollar option.
In all after adding the computer, monitor, software, tools (including cutting bits), macine you are in it for a pretty penny. I dont have all the of the items yet but am working to get the machine at least up and running which I wll continue to share with all of you. I am also still exploring forums trying to find "second hand " software or used software at a discount price.
Thats it for now. More to come as I learn it and do it .

lepsy (plural lepsies) is a lemon and pepsi infused together makeing the flavor 80% lemon, 20% pepsi. Sour? yes, but delightful for people that can handle it. The citrus from the lepsy makes your stress levels lower, and since it is only 20% pepsi, it is very low cal.

Hi,i'm still living aside cubase 4 however i intend to make some serious updates - haven't followed the updates for a very long time now but back to version 4, as a heavy plugin user, multiprocessing was a big issue with the distribution of the processing (lags, pops, clicks and bla bla bla - add a couple of harsh plugs, and the cpu meter starting hitting the roof whatever quad demon you used 5 years ago).
If i say i update to c7 with a new dual xeon (8+8 core) system, will cubase run as i expect? Hrmmm... speedy? Any users?
Another thing: Steinberg web states cubase supports max between 4-6 cores... Does this mean that... Damn, is the problem still there?

Gio Gonzalez gutted his way through six innings to notch his 21st win.
Game in a nutshell: You might have been nervous after the first inning of this game, with Gio Gonzalez looking totally out of sorts and the Nationals trailing 3-1. No need to panic, though, because Gonzalez got himself back on track, and the Nats lineup bust things open again with an impressive display of power. Bryce Harper launched his second homer in as many nights, giving him 21 for the season. Michael Morse blasted two homers, the second of them a titanic clout into the visitors' bullpen. All that support — plus some effective relief work from Sean Burnett, Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen — set up Gonzalez to win his 21st game of the season and help the Nationals reduce their magic number to 3. The Braves, however, won for the 10th time in their last 12 games, keeping the pressure on and ensuring the Nats cannot clinch the NL East until Saturday night at the earliest.
Hitting highlight: It's been a frustrating season for Morse, who has battled serious injuries and nagging injuries and hasn't been able to produce as much as he would have liked. But the man still has theRead more »

As great as watching the games from a bar in C'ville, it was totally frustrating being back in my hotel and not having masn or any other way of checking in on the game except for NI. Still, Great Job!! – bullpen, offense, Gio, looks like we were all doing well. Three more wins!! I will actually plan my night tomorrow around seeing some if not all the game although please don't tell my spousal equivalent.Go Nats!! Score First!! Win the Division!!

Win one in St. Louis. Win one at home against the Phils. The Braves would have to run the table just to force a one-game playoff. Scary thing is that they look like they just could. Maybe the Mets won't roll over.

Nice win. Storen is back to being lights out, just in time. Clip and Burnie have good stints, and Gio shows he's a gamer. And Morse. What can you say? He was a Beast tonight. Michele and WODL, I have to disagree with you on Morse and GIDP. First of all, you might be surprised to know that Zim leads the teams, and the National League, with 19. Morse has only 14. (Yes, he has fewer ABs, but still.) More importantly, it's not up to the guys on base to break up double plays, it's up to the guys hitting to beat them out. But power guys in the middle order are going to hit into alot of DPs– they have runners on 1st alot, and they hit the ball hard. It's just not possible to beat out a DP grounder when you hit the ball as hard as Zim and Morse do.Incidentally, the leading DP guy in the majors — Miguel Cabrera. You just have to accept some DPs from your mashers.

Man, flew home tonight and missed the first few innings, but did see that blast by Morse. Holy Cow! I think Gorzelanny will want a new hat, because I am pretty sure that ball peed in it out of sheer fright. I was happy for Werth that he had a nice series, and helped ensure that Philly had a losing home record for the first time in over a decade. He is really twisting the knife! On to St. Louis!

Unusual for me in that I felt calm during Gio's bad start. I figured Gio would get himself straightened out and with Bryce hitting that home run in the first inning, I thought the team might have a good night at the plate. Was happy to see it work out that way.

Facts are: Duke was better than Lannan in AAA. Johnson said Lannan and CMW are starters and starters only. Never mentioned the word relief when that Taiwanese reporter asked about CMW in the playoffs. Anyone can watch Davey state all of this.Duke had a better record than Lannan in the minors. Duke was a MAJOR LEAGUE ALL STAR!!! Lannan will NEVER EVER even get close. So puhleese?

sjm — Thanks for the heads up about NAR. Very entertaining. Make sure to check out the sequel. peric may be the only person in the world who thinks he got the better of that exchange. He really is a one trick pony.The Fangraphs piece on Garcia that Todd links to is worth checking out. Great GIF of Garcia's curveball too.Davey's postgame comments about Gio were fascinating. I love that Gio told him after the first two innings, "Skip, don't worry about it. I got it. Stay with me." I wonder if he was just begging for more time or if he really had figured out something at the end of the 2nd. And McCatty said he only three 13 warmup pitches, so Davey says he was "underamped." Hopefully he'll learn from that experience and find a happy medium next time he starts. (Could that be in the playoffs?)

Meanwhile, outside the sandbox, here's another installment on Harper's historic season.Hitting second has depressed Harper's RBI total, but his 58 still are the seventh most in a season by a 19-year-old. According to Famgraphs' list of 104 19-year-old hitters dating back to 1871, these are the only six with more RBIs in their age 19 season:1. Mel Ott with 77 for the 1928 Giants2. George Davis with 73 for the 1890 Cleveland Spiders3. Buddy Lewis with 67 for the 1936 Nats4. Mickey Mantle with 65 for the 1951 Yanks5. Jimmy Sheckard with 64 for the 1898 Brooklyn Bridegrooms6. Ken Griffey Jr. with 61 for the 1989 MarinersYou know Harper would love to catch Mantle.
- Nats In Athens - Sep 28, 2012 at 7:47 AM
Granted I did not follow the beginning of Peric's discussion but really, why is Duke not used more? There is an certainly an embarrassment of riches in the second tier pitching on the team but I clearly believe that Duke has earned his chance to play based on his performance in Syracuse. Any chances given to CMW at this point is one less for legitimate pitchers.
- DaveB - Sep 28, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Nats in Athens … I think it is because Davey still sees glimpses of the skills and potential that made CMW a 19-6 pitcher. While Zack had a nice year in AAA, his best year ever in the majors was 11-16. I trust Davey to play for wins today, with an eye toward how to build the team for the long run. They've invested a lot in trying to get the old CMW back, and I can certainly see taking a few more steps to figure out if is worth any more effort before they give up for good.
- Joe Seamhead - Sep 28, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Johnson is not experimenting with much of anything until the Fat Lady sings.You notice that Corey Brown isn't playing much? The argument could also be made that he "earned his chance to play based on his performance in Syracuse" And so it could be said about Perez, and every other call up from Syracuse, but, in spite of what peric says, that argument is wrong. None of these guys "earned" anything other then a call up to be with the club in September. Davey made it clear when the roster was extended that getting any of these guys playing time was not his priority. The only guys on this team that have "earned" playing time down the stretch are the guys responsible for getting the team to where it is.
- Nats In Athens - Sep 28, 2012 at 12:05 PM
DaveB, I was all for resigning CMW based on his performance in September last year. It is just that I believe that, sadly, he will never again be the pitcher he was and it is best to use this one start that Davey has chosen not to give to the regulars to try someone else.Joe, I agree that with the magic number still at 3 you cannot give playing time that you would want to some of the call ups. And that you do not earn something in AAA that you can redeem at the ML level. It is just that if I have to choose between another start for CMW and seeing what Duke could do I would try for Duke.I say all that although I know DJ also works on the proper matchups and he wanted three Righties against SLC. And to paraphrase what Joe wrote above, the only one who has earned the righh to decide is the one that got all of us up to here and that is DJ.

AARP Minnesota is proud to represent and serve over 675,000 AARP members age 50+ in the state.
For 50 years, AARP has had one mission: making life better for older Americans. AARP was created after its founder discovered a retired teacher in poor health living in a chicken coop, unable to afford medical care and with barely enough money to live on. Since then, AARP has been fighting for health and financial security for all Americans.
In 2010, AARP Minnesota will be working with legislators from both parties to protect lifeline programs that provide seniors with food, health care and other necessities from deep budget cuts. We will also be working to strengthen state laws to prevent banks and credit card companies from taking advantage of older Americans and to protect consumers from unfair utility hikes.
Age 50+ voters: 82 percent of Minnesotans age 50+ voted in the 2008 election, sending a clear message that it's time for elected officials from both sides of the aisle to come together to solve our nation's problems.
AARP: Working To Improve the Lives of All Minnesotans
Strengthening Social Security: We are fighting to strengthen Social Security for current and future generations by:
- Providing relief for 776,200 who won't receive a cost of living increase (COLA) this year.
Protecting Medicare: We are fighting to protect guaranteed benefits for the 746,505 Minnesotans who receive their health care through Medicare.
Improving Health Care: We are fighting to stop insurance abuses and protect the Medicare benefits seniors have earned by:
- Lowering drug costs for 380,839 seniors by closing the Medicare Part D coverage gap or "doughnut hole."
- Preventing insurance companies from denying affordable coverage to up to 56,000 Minnesotans age 50-64 based on age or pre-existing condition.
- Expanding access to home and community-based services through Medicaid – the largest payer of long-term services and supports – which, in 2007, spent only 44 percent of long-term care dollars in on home and community based-services for older adults and adults with physical disabilities and 56 percent on institutional care for the same population.
Supporting Caregivers: AARP is fighting to ensure more Americans can receive the services they need to live independently in their homes and communities by:
- Valuing and supporting the 900,000 family caregivers in Minnesota – individuals who provide help to their loved ones to enable them to live at home and whose unpaid contributions are valued at $7,100,000,000.
Promoting Retirement Savings: We are fighting to help Americans save for retirement by:
- Enacting Automatic IRA legislation, which would help many of the estimated 1,262,600 Minnesotans who don't currently have a retirement plan at work to have simple access to a retirement savings account.

Why an Apple Fanboy Would Want to Work for Microsoft
For most, working for Microsoft is like working for IBM, Motorola, or even Boeing. Microsoft is a stable, if boring, tech company that pays well and offers a generous benefits package. Just the place for a 30-something "knowledge worker" looking to settle into a long career.
However, Microsoft has never seemed to understand usability; to the user, the interface is the product. Microsoft's monopolistic ability to ignore stability, usability, and every other facet of product quality but still dominate in the 1990s and early 2000s drove me insane. Ex-Microsofties I'd run into in Seattle described Microsoft's culture as a soul-sucking corporate bureaucracy, suffocating every good idea with groupthink and over-management. Up until last night, listing Microsoft on my resumé would have been embarrassing black mark smeared across my Past Employers section.
However, the Xbox had always been exempt from my vitriol against Microsoft. The gaming division had elevated Bungie to a higher level, had put together an online console experience that was the best in the industry, and had fixed the majority of flaws of game controllers. In other words, Microsoft had finally managed to put the user experience first.
Recently, usability consultant Bill Fulton of Ronin UX explained just how he and his team at Microsoft's Games User Research Group managed to get Microsoft to put the user experience first. Fulton had dropped out of his psychology PhD program and went to work as the sole in-house usability person for Microsoft Game Studios. Fulton assembled a team of "incredibly smart psychologist-gamers who were crazy-motivated" and they ended up treating the challenge of usability buy-in like a real-time strategy game. Fulton's presentation outlined how Microsoft's Games User Research Group (GUR) used a strategy of reciprocal buy-in to go from a one-man operation to a 35-person department with an annual budget of several million dollars in just seven years.
Traditionally, when it comes to institutional buy-in, the usability field has focused on tactics such as Jakob Nielsen's early discount usability methods or Adlin's ad-hoc personas. A large portion of our jobs is justifying usability to management while begging developers and designers to listen to us. As brilliant and powerful as these tactics are (and they regularly save my ass), they are just tactics used to gain an edge in isolated parts of a development cycle or a product's design. Their core purpose is not to improve the overall perceived importance of usability within the organization. If a usability department enhances its legitimacy as a result of these tactics, it is only of secondary benefit.
Many usability departments are stuck focusing their energy at the end of a product cycle, where they have least impact. Coming in late in the design cycle can makes it difficult to fix even showstopper usability bugs. Forget changing the development workflow or overhauling the interface; we just get to fiddle with buttons and tweak wording. GUR, however, worked on the larger strategy: focus on a few big wins, generate demand, then demand reciprocity. By improving the perceived value of usability within the organization, GUR was rewarded with more resources, more respect, and more inclusion.
It was so successful that Bungie asked GUR to embed itself as early as possible into the development cycle to have maximum impact. Anyone in the usability field should know just how rare this is; how often have you brought up a usabilty flaw, only to have coworkers denigrate the intelligence of their customers rather than doubt the quality of their own work? I once asked one of my professors what surprises her the most about how the usability field has matured in the past 20 years, she responded, "I thought I wouldn't have to keep having these conversations, that [the necessity of usability engineering] would be a given."
The central thesis of Bill Fulton's talk was that the perceived value of usability is what needs our attention. Instead of spreading the usability department thin trying to fix whatever we can, Fulton recommends focusing our efforts on specific departments, projects, or sub-projects that are the most receptive to usability recommendations and thus will produce high-impact results. Teams that actually value usability engineering will develop products that are shining examples that make usability look like key asset that can accomplish great things.
All too often, usability professionals spend their efforts trying to do whatever they can for any project across company. This often averts total disaster in key projects. Sadly, only the usability department knows that they just saved the ship; their perceived value doesn't match up with reality. There is an opportunity cost in spending time with dysfunctional, anti-usability managers who don't respect usability or, for that matter, the user. By focusing on projects where you can make one good product you are not cranking out a bunch of mediocre products. One highly visible "win" is worth a thousand tiny wins.
This all requires changes in the relationship between the usability and development teams. No company will tolerate a usability department refusing to work for business units that aren't worthy of usability services. Fulton's advised disseminating best practices and other front-line documents that tackle the most common usability mistakes. Secondly, after doing testing for a group, don't test for them again until they have incorporated your feedback. Usability bugs are bugs; if programmers are not going to treat them as such, stop spending time finding and reporting them.
GUR policy was to cancel a usability test if the submitted build had usability bugs that had not been addressed. They were not being arrogant jerks, they were just reinforcing the reality of the situation: developers already knew what usability problems needed to be fixed and there were other projects needing usability services that properly incorporated the results of the last usability test. If the developers didn't like it, they could hire outside contractors to do their usability testing. GUR wasn't interested in finding the same issues over and over again.
The overarching theme of Fulton's presentation was that usability departments should focus on projects that will showcase their importance instead of trying to convince everyone of it. When Fulton left the department in 2004, Microsoft had dedicated nearly the level of usability resources to games as it did to Windows—and Windows is a $4 billion cash-cow, while MS Games was losing money. How often does your organization question the need for developers, managers, or beta testing, or preliminary design specifications? If your company is questioning the need to properly support and integrate usability throughout the development process, don't try to play the game better, just change the rules.
Add new comment
@tNo: have you tried another OS?
MS might work on usability but they just don't get it right. Ribbons don't work, visual feedback is standard behavior und should have been there long ago.
WP7 has made the same mistakes as others did years ago ... its too late to make the same mistakes again. lets take the whole copy and paste problem for example.
now they plan to use ribbons on the Explorer too?!
oh one last example while talking about the great new features of VISTA ... try to delete a shortcut on your desktop or try to shut down the computer ... how many clicks does it cost to do that? ;)
When and where did Bill Fulton explain what they did? Is there any more details about this available publicly? Transcript, slides, etc.?
When new Nokia 4.0 comes out with Windows Phone 8, I will camp 2 days early for the store who has it, just to be the first. :p
If there are any lingering doubts about Microsoft learning about usability, check out any of the new Windows Phone 7 phones out there. It's a great OS.
Microsoft is big and slow, it might innovate on the developer base but I am still not too impressed by their innovation-buy-ins or the fruit of labor from all those Phd's running at Microsoft. There is still low fruit hanging everywhere also at Apple. But Apple makes cool innovative produkt and attracts people with winner mentality, while everything at Microsoft is cynical businness.
No if you are really a strong believer in UX then you would start an UX company like I did. If you are thorough enthusiast and do what ever needed to get it on the map there's where it will be serious innovation and go for the big-wins instead of the quickscans, quick-fixes, company massaging and all that boring stuff. UX is leading with me, as I pay for the developers, instead of someone paying developers and think that programs are just programs (for other programs and administrators).
I'm not trying to be snide, but aren't the results of Microsoft's ribbon at least mixed? I may not be their target user, but I've definitely found it harder to use. It takes up too much space and it's too clunky. I know with that redesign specifically hearing lots and lots of my peers say the same thing. Maybe you're just talking about investment and not effectiveness, though? Or, maybe it just takes time to learn... I'm not quite sure.
It is beyond me how you just can say that Microsoft never get usability. Compared to whom? Apple? Oh please! Are we living in the 90s?
Don't people realize that Microsoft has some of the best decisions made to improve usability starting on fundamental levels of their products? Just to name some examples: they got the best font rendering on Windows, with Vista they have introduced hover states for almost all active elements, which provide a direct feedback to user's actions and give a nice and "alive" feel to the interface. They have come over old menus and toolbars in almost every major software product: in Windows Explorer, IE9, Office and others, while Apple still hasn't changed the menus since Lisa.
Not just in games they invest heavily in usability. The best example is the creation of the Ribbon interface for Office 2007 which is also very well documented:
It is beyond me how you just can say that Microsoft never get usability. Compared to whom? Apple? Oh please! Are we living in the 90s?
Riiiiight, I can't find a link to the quote but Bill Gates rationalized Metro on Windows 8 becuase his kid was able to learn how to use it. Microsoft has gotten much better at usabiltiy, Ribbon is a good example and there were some solid wins in Vista. However, they are still behind the ball when it comes to prioritizing usability at an institutional level.

Yeah, the red bike you posted was similar to the bike in the new Dredd movie, except the color and the wheels were different. They had spokes, IIRC. Otherwise, it was the same.

Tsukuyomi is noted to be one of the most powerful genjutsu in existence.[2] It is said to represent the "Spiritual World and Darkness" (精神界と闇, Seishinkai to Yami), the antipode to Amaterasu — a ninjutsu of similar power.[1]
[show]Usage Edit
Tsukuyomi requires eye contact to be performed, trapping the target within an illusion completely under the user's control. Itachi's prowess with the technique has allowed him to alter the perception of time with ease within the genjutsu to make a few seconds seem like many days as a means to torture the target. This results in the victim suffering psychological trauma that incapacitates them for a considerable period of time. After Itachi used it on Kakashi in Part I, Kisame was surprised that Kakashi's mind was still intact.[3] Only Tsunade has been shown capable of curing this psychological damage.[4]
In the anime during Part I, Itachi's use of Tsukuyomi typically featured a red moon casting a red light throughout the illusion with a cloudy atmosphere, giving the background a blood-red appearance while the victim within the illusion is in depicted in an inverted grey scale.
Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages however. Due to the complexity of the illusion and the quickness with which it is executed, an enormous amount of chakra is necessary and an added amount of stress is placed on the left eye, leaving Itachi's vision more blurred. Before using it on Kakashi in Part I, Itachi stated that Tsukuyomi can only be broken by a Sharingan user that shares the same blood as him;[5] as demonstrated when Sasuke overcame Itachi's Tsukuyomi in their battle.[6]
Influence Edit
Pulling from the ancient Japanese myth of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo, where when Izanagi washed his face after escaping the underworld his right eye became Tsukuyomi, the Moon god. Interestingly, as Tsukuyomi is the Moon, he is also associated with the passing of time, and at times cited to be the God of Time (or at least of the calendar), fitting the genjutsu's ability to alter the perception of the passing of time.
Trivia Edit
- In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Itachi uses Tsukuyomi in a different manner. He has the red moon crush the opponent while the image of the moon warps into a copy of his Mangekyō Sharingan eye.

I am happy to hear that people find it interesting
I just uploaded compiler-specific flags for PCC, but I will not present a merge until I have added some of the most requested aggressive optimizations, primarily GCC and ICC.
I have just seen some openbenchmarking.org variants of my data, and I must say that the ability to group data (either per compiler or per optimization option) makes the data much easier to interpret. I hope we will be able to present such graphs soon
Ps. Thanks mtippett for your effort! Ds.

Digits in the phone numbers dialed were generated randomly to reach households with unlisted and listed landline and cellphone numbers.
Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish.
As is done routinely in surveys, results were weighted, or adjusted, to ensure that responses accurately reflect the population's makeup by factors such as age, sex, education and race. In addition, the weighting took into account patterns of phone use—landline only, cellular only and both types—by region.
No more than 1 time in 20 should chance variations in the sample cause the results to vary by more than plus or minus 3.9 percentage points from the answers that would be obtained if all adults in the U.S. were polled.

Latos, Burnett cross paths, looking for vintage form
Reds starter seeking command; Pirates starter hoping to go deeper
Mat Latos hasn't been the same since he lost to the Pirates on June 18. Maybe it will take another start against Pittsburgh to break out of his slide.
Latos started the season 6-0 and hadn't lost since last August until the Pirates beat him a month ago. Since then, Latos is 2-3 with a 4.91 ERA and a .267 batting average against over five starts.
In his last start, the 6-foot-6 righty allowed six runs and nine hits over four innings. He threw almost two-thirds of his pitches for strikes, but it was the quality of some of them that strapped him with his third loss of the season.
"I made a couple of good pitches when I needed to, but all in all, the ball was right down the middle of the plate," Latos said after the loss to Atlanta. "It was just a matter of making an adjustment that I couldn't make today."
Latos will face Pirates righty A.J. Burnett, who hasn't lasted six innings in two starts since missing a month with a torn right calf. He didn't go six in just four of his 14 starts.
Burnett has allowed three earned runs, 10 hits and six walks over 10 2/3 innings in two starts since being activated from the disabled list.
"You want to go deeper than that," Burnett said after his last start. "But with that bullpen coming in to do what they do, the way they are attacking ... you feel pretty good with those three guys coming in behind you."
The Pirates' bullpen has been one of baseball's best, ranking in the top three in ERA (2.78), batting average against (.213), saves (34) and WHIP (1.10) before Friday.
Reds: Choo stays in leadoff spot against lefty
Manager Dusty Baker originally had Chris Heisey leading off against Pirates lefty Francisco Liriano on Friday. A few hours before the game, he put Choo, the normal leadoff man, back at the top of the order.
Earlier this season, Baker had usually dropped Choo to the two-spot against lefties. That's going to be less likely going forward, especially with Choo's recent success. He's on a 13-game hitting streak. Entering Friday, he had a .287/.425/.468 slash line, but a .175/.312/.202 line against lefties.
"I'm going to try and leave Choo there for a while. It seems like he's figuring it out," Baker said. "We've talked quite a few times. This guy tonight is tough. He is still my leadoff man. I might do it sometimes, but he is my leadoff man."
Choo went 1-for-4 Friday, while Heisey, batting second, went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, including a solo homer in the first. The Reds will face another lefty, Jeff Locke, on Sunday.
Pirates: Jones stays hot against Cincy
First baseman Garrett Jones went 2-for-3 Friday against the Reds, which came as no surprise considering how well he's fared against Cincinnati in 2013.
Entering Friday, Jones was batting 11-for-36 (.306) with two doubles, a homer and three RBIs in 10 games against the Reds this season.
However, he is just 1-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts against Latos.
Worth noting
• The Pirates will play 35 of their remaining 68 games against National League Central opponents.
• Latos is 4-1 with a 2.57 ERA in nine career starts against the Pirates. Burnett is 5-5 with a 4.09 ERA in 13 career starts against the Reds.
• Following this series against Pittsburgh, the Reds will head west for an 11-game road trip against the Giants, Dodgers and Padres.
• Current Pirates are hitting .189 against Latos. He has 43 strikeouts in 127 at-bats against them, as well.

So you have some benchmarks to back up your claim or is it just in your head? I'd really see some comparison in drawing performance between Qt and EFL.
Focused on what? Super slow development cycles? If EFL are focused on anything, it's being the foundation for the Enlightenment DE for PCs (hence the name). EFL are not focused to be a smartphone toolkit at all because E17 is not a smartphone DE. The only advantage from the point of view of Samsung etc. is that EFL is mostly BSD-licensed (although Elementary is LGPLed).
1.) Qt IS a toolkit that fits almost all needs.
2.) Why would Qt's future not be bright? It's in the hands of an independent developer now and more and more vendors adopt it.

Wrist pain can be caused due to several reasons. Sometimes when you have been writing since long, using your hand for continuous hours, you are typing continuously, wrist pain like problems might occur. The computer typing job workers usually have such problems of wrist pain. Unfortunately, when this problem occurs, it is more annoying than any other pain in body. A person suffering from repetitive stressful injury remains in serious problems. There are a few ways that can be used to prevent this pain and to survive this problem. People can use these ways as a first aid and get relief from the pain all in sudden. www.sao.org
The first way of getting relief from such a problem is gentle stretching. A person who is continuously using his fingers may feel pain and stress in fingers. Sometimes, fingers need sprinters that can hammer out the letters just in sometime without using fingers. Sometimes fingers might need to be a marathoner to trudge tirelessly and grant proposal of thirty pages. The fingers are the real runners that rely on the ways of gentle stretching for the maintenance of best performance and to avoid any sort of injury. The stretching methods help in improving the blood flow all along your fingers and help in increasing the lubrication so that your finger can function in a smooth and comfortable way without any pain.
If you are a computer typist, you need to make sure that you have adjusted your keyboard appropriately. Now when we have the modern computers and new style keyboards, people use their hands and fingers in unnatural postures that encourage pain in their hand. This is the basic reason for wrist pain in the world of today. If you have normal keyboards, your hands flex outwards from the wrist and at inward position towards thumbs. There are more chances that such a posture may create strain and tension and lead to wrist pain. When people are suffering from pain during the typing, they must invest in ergonomic keyboards instead of using a normal keyboard.
The ergonomic keyboards are made in such a way that they are sloped from the centre and have keys arranged at angles of optimal ergonomics. The third step can be to take breaks while you are busy in your work. Working continuously for hours can make you feel stressful and you feel tired and can't work properly and actively. So the best thing is to take regular breaks after completing a task. This will help you relax as well as do your work actively. Continuous work without any rest will make you feel exhausted and you will not remain active for the rest of the day.
Another tip that will help you get relief from the wrist pain and to avoid such problem is to sit in straight postures. Sometimes when you are not comfortable and you have some problem in laying down, in sitting or in walking, your overall body gets stressful and you don't feel good. So you need to make sure that when you are in your office or at your work, you sit and walk comfortably. You wear dress and accessories that make you feel comfortable. Make sure that the chair on which you have to sit all day long is comfy and you sit straight on it. These are all the things that you need to consider if you want to remain safe and feel good. To stay healthy avoid such painful and stressful routines; you need to be careful in your way of walking and sitting. These are the tips to live a good, healthy and comfortable life.

Duplicate tip
This tip is very similar to the following:
These tips need to be merged – see the merge guidelines.
Recording a macro is a great way to perform a one-time task, or to get things done quickly when you don't want to mess with Vim script or mappings, or if you do not yet know how to do it more elegantly.
In Vim, the word "macro" may refer to:
- A sequence of commands recorded to a register (this tip).
- A mapping to expand a sequence of typed keys to a longer sequence (see tutorial).
- A script written in the Vim script language (stored in a file with extension
– see :help script).
[show]Recording a macro
Each register is identified by a letter a
to z
To enter a macro, type:
To execute the macro <number> times (once by default), type:
So, the complete process looks like:
qq | start recording to register q
... | your complex series of commands |
q | stop recording |
@q | execute your macro |
@@ | execute your macro again |
Running a macro
Use this mapping as a convenient way to play a macro recorded to register q
:nnoremap <Space> @q
- Start recording keystrokes by typing
. - End recording with
(first press Escape if you are in insert mode). - Play the recorded keystrokes by hitting space.
Suppose you have a macro which operates on the text in a single line. You can run the macro on each line in a visual selection in a single operation:
- Visually select some lines (for example, type
to select the current paragraph). - Type
:normal @q
to run the macro from registerq
on each line.
Viewing a macro
You can use the :registers
command to view the current contents of any or all register values in Vim. For example, use :reg
to view all registers, or :reg a
to view only what you have recorded into register a
. Typing :reg abx
will show the contents of registers a, b, and x.
Saving a macro
There are two primary ways of saving a macro for later use.
The simplest way occurs by default if you run Vim in nocompatible mode (which is the default if you have a vimrc). Simply by including the proper text in your 'viminfo'
option or leaving the nocompatible default alone, Vim will automatically write all your registers to a file and restore them at startup.
By default, the content of each register is saved, and will be available next time you run Vim. For example, you might record a macro to register a
, then exit from Vim with :q!
. On restarting Vim, you can press @a
to run the macro from register a
The 'viminfo
' option can disable the saving of registers. If :set viminfo?
shows a value including (for example) <50
and s10
then up to 50 lines and 10KB will be saved in each register. If either item is zero, no registers are saved. :help 'viminfo'
The second way to save a macro for later use (especially if you think you might overwrite the macro by accident, therefore restoring the wrong value from the viminfo file) is to use a let command in your vimrc.
For a very simple example, suppose you have recorded a macro to jump to the first occurrence of the letter a in a line into register a, using the following key sequence in normal mode:
If you want to restore this macro whenever you start Vim, regardless of what might be in your viminfo file, you would edit your vimrc and add the following line:
let @a='0fa'
Assuming that you already have the macro recorded, you can easily insert the register contents rather that typing them all again. While entering the above line, after typing let @a='
, simply type Ctrl-R Ctrl-R a to insert the contents of the a
register. The double Ctrl-R is to insert the contents literally, rather than interpreting them as if typed.
Single quote characters (') are recommended and used in the above examples, because they allow you to type almost everything literally, whereas in double-quotes (") you need to escape certain characters. Compare '\1\2\3"abc"' with "\\1\\2\\3\"abc\"", for example. However, if your register must itself contain single quote characters, you use a second single-quote character to escape it. For example, if you want your register to contain "Vim's quote handling is a little tricky" you would type :let @a='"Vim''s quote handling is a little tricky"'
Note however, that the above method using :let
will not work as expected for any macros which you make ending in a <CR> or <NL> character (carriage return or newline). This is because, as documented in :help :let-@, Vim will treat the register as "linewise" under these conditions. The reason for this is to make registers set with :let
act "the right way" when dealing with yanked/deleted text, but it can cause headaches when dealing with recorded macros. Possible workarounds include using the setreg() function or adding "no-op" commands to the end of the macro, such as a<Esc>
. See the discussion on vim_dev about unexpected behavior of the :let command for details.
Appending to a macro
If you have recorded a macro that is almost right, but you need to add a few commands to it, you can easily append the commands to an existing macro instead of recording the whole thing over again. Simply replace the register letter with a capital letter.
For example, if you recorded into register a
using qa...q
, you could add to the macro (without replacing it) using qA...q
Editing a macro
Suppose that you have recorded a macro in register a
and you would like to edit the macro. The procedure is explained above, but here is a summary of the steps:
- Type
:let @a='
- Press Ctrl-R Ctrl-R
to insert the current contents of registera
(type Ctrl-R twice to insert the register exactly). - Edit the text as required.
- Append an apostrophe (
) to finish the command, and press Enter. - Enter
:reg a
to view the new value in the register. - Type
to execute the contents of registera
Note the caveat above about macros which end in <CR> or <NL>.

Todo: Need a couple more simple examples.
Is it possible to have different sets of registers for different jobs, par example one set for editing xsl files with shortcuts for various <xsl:xxx> tags in them, another one for editing html, xml, sql etc.? --annonymous user
- No, this is not possible. Registers in Vim are global across the entire Vim instance, unlike mappings, abbreviations, etc. which can be local to a buffer. --Fritzophrenic (talk) 21:49, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
- I should say "not possible without some scripting". There is a BufEnter and BufLeave autocmd event, and also a FileType event, which could be combined with saving and restoring of every single named register if desired. I know of no existing plugins which do this. --Fritzophrenic (talk) 21:51, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
- I use BufEnter to map CTRL+/ to a command to comment out the selected lines when I am editing various files. Different file types require different comment strategies, so I use BufEnter to figure out which sequence should be used for each file.
au BufEnter *.js :vmap ^_ :s/^/\/\// <Enter> :nohlsearch <Enter> au BufEnter *.py :vmap ^_ :s/^/#/ <Enter> :nohlsearch <Enter>

- That looks like it could be done better with a FileType autocmd and a buffer-local mapping. See :help :map-<buffer>. The question was asked about macros recorded into a register, however, not about mappings via a :map type of command. --Fritzophrenic (talk) 21:39, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
