These results mirror my experiences with BtrFS a couple of years ago - it seemed to get slower and slower and eventually made starting Chromium painful - this was with compression switched on
Any way you could include nilfs2 in these?

YES! Do want! Could you also include different mount options to EXT4 for comparison to different BTRFS mount options? I don't know what good ones there are, but i'm sure there are some optimization options.Stay tuned for more benchmark results, including when testing each of the Btrfs mount options on Ubuntu 12.04.
Was thinking the same thing when reading the articlePlease test the same on a traditional HDD
Very good point! I plan to get an SSD in the future which will work along side a storage HDD. However, it should be kept in mind that there is no single answer to global answer to this question. It will depend on the functions primarily performed on the storage device.best FS for SSD might not be the best for HDD as well
yes I had similar experineces with btrfs, getting slower and slower, and after I tried to update to ubuntu 12.04 beta I could not get it to boot anymore, not shure maybe it had something to do with efi shit I think that it was not btrfs related because it should have shown grub even if it could not access the btrfs partition because boot was on ext2, but it just said no device or something at boot try to fixing grub did not help at all, then I just reinstalled it and before that I backuped the home, but ok that was not btrfs fault I guess ^^.
efi shit sucks ^^.
I dont mean efi ^^ I mean the replacement of mbr, dont know the name right now ^^ I thinkt that was somehow the problem, I will only try that again if my system is unable to boot from good old solid 1000 year old mbr
But back to btrfs It also through out some mistakes when I tried to delete the old apt-btrfs images it sometimes just refused to do that and said something about errors. Because there is no fixing fsck, I will wait now a long time to go with that I think. BTW I even made some benchmarks extracting a linux kernel on the old and the new partition on the old btrfs I had at the end 15mb/s write performance (kernel extract) with ext4 (both with lvm) I have 80mb/s so btrfs should get some older before its long term usable, but again most important it did not loose the data in the volume.
sorry for my english, not long awake today
If you use an SSD as a boot drive and HDD as storage, I would think the HDD should lean towards large, mostly sequential reads most of the time. The SSD should cover almost the entire range of operations, from large sequential reads upon startup to small, random writes for temporary files. Fortunately, SSD has both low latency and very high transfer rates. But it is good to know whether the FS can help on top of that.
In the end, that's all this IO, transfer rates testing is about: letting anyone infer the results for their own use cases.
I guess my above post did not specify my interest is in relative raid performance using traditional hard disks. I suspect that software raid 6 with a hot spare is a reasonable choice for a home archival data server where your hot button issue is no data loss caused by disk failure. We are getting closer to Xeon Atom boards with 8 PCIe lanes that can be used for many sata ports. It would be nice to know that Btrfs raid rebuild performance is comparable to mdamd if you are using a low powered CPU from whoever.
You know that even a standard MLC SSD has more than enough durability for any normal scenario these days?
A standard number I've seen for older MLC technologies is 10000 write cycles, and if anything the current number is higher. That means any single cell can be rewritten 10000 times, and there's (say) 128GB of cells available. At 10000, that's about 1.2PB. That's 717GB of writes every day for five years, if the wear levelling is perfect. If you use 90% of the drive for constant content, so the rewrites only touch the remainder, it should wear out in five years at about 70GB/day, and even if you then use a very pessimistic 10x safety margin you're at 7GB of writes every day for five years. Realistically, it'll be fine.
Alternatively, intel claims a 1.2million hour MTBF on their 120GB SSD, or over 130 years. I have no idea how they came up with that number.

If nowadays wear levelling is well implemented I suposse you are right
It's supposed to be, though of course it works better the more free space it has to play with. Drives typically keep some GB of spare space for that purpose, so even if it's 100% full it can spread writes over 4 or 8 GB of physical cells. I think that's why you often see drive sizes that are a bit less than a power of 2 - like the 120GB intel that I bet has 128GB of physical chips.
You mean GPT, btw. It's nice enough as long as your BIOS can boot it; the only thing that annoys me with it is that Win7 and Win8 don't want to install onto GPT partitions. On the other hand it supports larger partitions, more partitions, more file system type codes, and it's a bit more resilient with the backup copy at the end of the disk.
Not that it really matters as long as you can get your file system onto the disk at the desired position and length, and boot from it.

Favorite comic bits also skewer the city's problems with Chinese drywall, City Council presidents, Mardi Gras territoriality, and incarcerated politicians, as well as celebrating its love of local commercials, Broadway musicals, and anything Saints.
Sean Patterson is back in town to help create some new comic material, Brian Albus is back on percussion, and Su Gonczy will be in the booth doing magic with lights, and singing the high, twiddly parts as backup! So join the fun as we say "Goodbye" to the old with a rousing New Orleans "One mo' time!"

Shop NowFibromyalgia is a painful form of soft tissue or muscular rheumatism. It affects the ligaments and tendons, often developing without a well-defined precursor. It also can result from rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, or ankylosing spondylitis.
Most fibromyalgia sufferers experience pain in the joints and muscles, but also experience overall achy or painful sensations throughout the entire body. Well-defined tender points can also result, as illustrated by the graphic to the right.
It's best to focus on improving sleep, give aching muscles a chance to rest and rejuvenate. Some people with fibromyalgia find relief with moist heat, other with cold therapy to reduce inflammation. Core strengthening may also be useful. Always check with your physician before beginning an exercise or strengthening program.

Yes, of course her flip could still improve, and I hope it will improve because she needs to increase her 3-3 success rate. But compared to Nationals and GP, where she was under-rotating her flip, her flip at 4CC was a huge improvement. This improvement gives me hope that it'll get even better quite soon.
Mao's 'flip improvement' is really remarkable in that she didn't actually try and fiddle and improve her old flip technique. She just basically learnt a new jump, which is her flip now. And she did that all the while improving her skating skills and all her other jump techniques. There is not one jump of her's that hasn't gotten a makeover. Even her loop got a revision. Her toe loop, probably, got the least change. All this she did amidst her mother's prolonged illness. It's totally remarkable.
Yup...face = deer in headlights.
bekalc - I agree with everything you say. But I still agree with the USFSA's overall decision. Yes, they got there in a questionable way, but I still don't blame them. Yes, Gold's interpretation skills need a lot of work, and I do not accept "limited international experience" as an excuse. Really, Gold die-hard fans have been saying that for too long. Plenty of girls have been in those shoes before and they're not as hot and cold as she's been. But, maybe she'll surprise us the next time.
There is a reason, however with the current point system there is a lot of ways you can make up ground in the FS. Gold is a better jumper and spinner than Gao, so she gains a lot of points there. She is faster, she has better transitions. CH and IN are only 2 parts of PCS, and given the rest of what Gao does that is not enough to overtake Gold when she skates clean. That is why Gold got the scores she got, which was in line with Tuktamysheva at Europeans for a similar skate with similar qualities - so I don't see what's so odd about her Nationals score... If Asada/Kim/Kostner skate clean programs they will probably still be close to 10 points higher than her, especially when you factor in their PCS lead in the short program to add onto it.
Gao is not going to get anywhere near the world Podium and unless she does a lot of improvement and some upgrades between now and Sochi she isn't going to the Olympics, either. The US isn't going to Gamble with a skater who hasn't been to Worlds again. That's why they were ready to put Sasha Cohen on the Podium in 2010 until she imploded in the FS at Nationals.

Her 3-3 gives her so much versatility because if she doesn't do the opening 3Lz well she can always do a 3F-3T as her 3-3. Yu-Na's skating for some reason has always had a degree of "in-built" safety because her toe technique is so brilliant. I'm sure she could do 3Sal-3T if she really wanted to.
LADIES FREE SKATE - RESULT & VIDEOS (Updated)
1. Mao ASADA (JPN) - 205.45 Free Skate
2. Akiko SUZUKI (JPN) - 190.08 Free Skate
3. Kanako MURAKAMI (JPN) - 181.03
4. Christina GAO (USA) - 176.28
5. Zijun LI (CHN) - 170.42
6. Gracie GOLD (USA) - 166.66
7. Kaetlyn OSMOND (CAN) - 159.38
8. Agnes ZAWADZKI (USA) - 158.99
9. Amelie LACOSTE (CAN) - 155.08
10. Kexin ZHANG (CHN) - 148.34
11. Julianne SEGUIN (CAN) - 146.58
12. Brooklee HAN (AUS) - 134.90
13. Reyna HAMUI (MEX) - 123.69
14. Chantelle KERRY (AUS) - 118.11
15. Crystal KIANG (TPE) - 109.15
16. Yeon Jun PARK (KOR) - 106.79
17. Melissa BULANHAGUI (PHI) - 106.36
18. Lejeanne MARAIS (RSA) - 105.06
19. Melinda WANG (TPE) - 96.95
20. Ami PAREKH (IND) - 88.39
Well, she seems to lean a bit on a Sal quite a bit, so I'm not sure that's a given.
Her Toe technique isn't really brilliant. It isn't even close to flawless. What is flawless is her ability to jump straight up without even drawing her foot back on the toe loop and rotate almost a full 3 turns without the built-in free half turn of a proper toe loop take-off. She does it every time. It does cause my jaw to drop consistently.
She has strong legs. Looks can be deceiving.
I said "if she wanted to" for a reason. I am well aware that 3S isn't her best jump, but it's better than average and she can still get a +1GOE for it generally (plus the >halfway bonus). Certainly her 3T is more steady and less prone to UR calls than a 3Lo as the back half of a combination.
Can you please state your skating credentials as for evaluating toe technique? I am curious, because I have heard Scott and Kurt gush about it before and well, they're legends of the sport.
Nobody said that Gao should overtake Gold when Gold skates clean...The argument though was that Gold's horrific short program was held up and that Gold's PCS were far too high as well. Did I disagree with Gold placing above Gao in the long-No. I disagree with overall based on how bad Gold was in the short.
And as for Tukt. I think that Tukt at Europeans gave a much better performance (artistically than Gracie did) Tukt at moments frankly came ALIVE and really got into her music. She put some real passion into her program at the end Gracie didn't. And I actually find Tukt sloppier than Gracie, but Tukt right now is a better performer. And what I would point out is if your going to give Gracie that kind of score than Gao's free program score should have been a bit higher than it was too. Not 130, but around 123/124.
I'm sorry but Elizaveta interacted with the crowd at Europeans, Gracie didn't do anywhere near the same.. She tends to have a plastered grin on her face. And performance wise is a bit wooden.
Now I think Gracie can learn to perform better in time. But to say as a performance it compares to Tukt is something I heavily disagree with.

Minimalist ultra-light hydration pack for the final ascent or reservoir sleeve to throw in a larger multi-day pack – you get both with the Arête 18. Convert the Arête into a reservoir sleeve and place in your larger pack to be your hydration solution as you trek to basecamp. When you're ready to go for the summit, convert it back to its pack form and pack your summit essentials. The 2 liter Antidote® hydration system also folds into its own pint-size pouch so you can throw it in a suitcase or stash it in your backpack. However you use it, the Arête 18 is a pack that will come in handy wherever you go.
ANTIDOTE® RESERVOIR FEATURES: 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, dryer arms, center baffling and low-profile design, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
KEY PACK FEATURES: Reverses into reservoir compartment, lightweight materials, highly compressible
DESIGNED TO CARRY: Headlamp, trail map, shed layer, food, keys
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we build it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
RESERVOIR CLEANING The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops: 1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab. Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve. 2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes. 3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean. 4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow. These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Have you ever met someone that was just meant to teach? I mean every fiber of their being loves telling people about things, and they are just overflowing with useful information.
That is so my Urban Fishing Buddy Dan. The guy just lights up if someone asks him a question, and the amazing facts that come out of this guy's mouth never cease to amaze me.
A good example of this was at a recent Urban Fly Excursion to Alamitos Bay.
We arrived in the late afternoon and started working on a stretch of beach. Whenever I fish the Surf or Bay from the shoreline, I like to use what I call the "Fanning the Sand" Technique.
Basically what we do is start on opposite ends of the stretch we are looking to fish and make 5 casts about every 10-20 feet covering the entire 180 degrees of the section.
Most people step up to the Surf ready to haul out a 70 foot cast missing the fish that are right at their feet.
Being left handed I usually start at the left end and Dan usually starts at the right end. We meet in the middle, then we fish each others section (almost always using different fly patterns).
This day the fish just weren't cooperating with us. I caught one lizard fish and watched a Bat ray swim right next to my feet in only about 12 inches of water.
As we proceeded down the beach, I started to realize just how out of my element I feel in Saltwater. Yet Dan is the polar opposite, it's like he was born to be in the ocean.
He would continuously reach into the water and pull out some disgusting looking animal (or whatever they're called) and begin to give the kids on the beach a quick lesson in Marine Biology. Things like one of those slugs he picked up shooting out purple ink when it gets scared (I thought he was crazy until he squeezed it and purple went flying everywhere).
I learned about everything from Sea Slugs, to the fact that Snails lay eggs on the Eel Grass that my little Bass friends love to hide in.
It was cool to see Dan so in his element. Doing what he's so good at.
Trust me it was part of the Fly Fishing Buddy application process. Point 1 was "Find someone who is good at Saltwater Fly Fishing, since you are so terrible at it".
His knowledge has helped me a lot in learning to read my surroundings, and I've even started to catch a few nice fish.
Okay a few tiny Lizardfish, but hey at least I'm catching something!

Nuno looks to corral long ball against Bucs
Lefty in search of first win with D-backs; Pirates turn to Volquez
Vidal Nuno has changed teams, coasts and leagues, but he can't escape the long ball.
Nuno will take the mound Friday night against Pittsburgh having given up 19 home runs this season, tied for sixth-most in the Majors. After seven shutout innings in his D-backs debut, Nuno has given up four homers in his past three starts.
All nine of his earned runs with Arizona have been on home runs.
"That's been my trouble this whole year," Nuno said, "giving up home runs. But otherwise, if I don't give up home runs, it'll be a really close game. It could be a 1-0 ballgame."
In his last start, Nuno was saddled with the loss after giving up four runs (two earned) across 6 2/3 innings as he threw a career-high 117 pitches. Nuno has won only one of his last 14 starts and is searching for his first win in Arizona.
As a member of the Yankees, the 27-year-old rookie left-hander faced the Pirates on May 18. He threw six innings of three-run ball, allowing six hits and striking out five in a no-decision.
The Pirates trot out Edinson Volquez, who will try to regain his dominant form from a month ago. In a four-game stretch at the end of June and dipping into July, Volquez went 4-0 with a 0.90 ERA and a 1.067 WHIP.
Since tossing a one-run complete game on July 10, Volquez has lasted a combined 10 innings over two starts, surrendering nine runs on 16 hits. In his last outing Sunday at Colorado, Volquez turned in his second shortest start of the season, lasting 4 1/3 innings and walking four while striking out two.
Eight current D-backs have faced Volquez, hitting .235 (23-for-98) against him. Paul Goldschmidt is 7-for-14 with four doubles and a home run while Aaron Hill is just 1-for-14.
Pirates: Vying for respect on the field
The Pirates watched as division counterparts Milwaukee and St. Louis wheeled and dealed leading up to Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. Pittsburgh entered Friday's game in third place in the National League Central, 2 1/2 games behind the Brewers.
But still, Pittsburgh is viewed as the underdog in the division.
"We have more street cred on the field than anywhere else," manager Clint Hurdle said. "As I travel around, I do get the sense people in other cities don't know what this team is about -- except for Andrew McCutchen. Our guys use that as a motivator, and that's fine. They want to earn the public awareness on the field."
After a 7-4 loss Thursday night, the Pirates were a half-game back from the second Wild Card spot in the NL.
D-backs: Looking for answers at hot corner
With starting third baseman Martin Prado traded to the Yankees, Arizona will move forward with a platoon at the hot corner.
Jordan Pacheco started at third base on Thursday, his first start at the position since Sept. 6, 2012, and general manager Kevin Towers said Pacheco would split time with newly recalled Andy Marte and the injured Cliff Pennington.
"Penny's kind of a jack of all trades ... but Penny would be a guy who may see some time at third," Towers said. "Marte's put together a great Triple-A season and plays solid defense, so we've got some solid internal options."
At Triple-A this season, Marte hit .330 with 13 home runs and a .898 OPS. He delivered a go-ahead two-run homer Thursday night as a pinch-hitter in his first Major League at-bat since 2010.
Worth noting
• The Pirates wrapped up their third straight winning month and ninth month in the last 10 with a non-losing record (exception: this April, 9-16).

User's Manual
Documentation for the new GHCi debugger
These notes detail the breakpoint debugger which is being incorportated into GHCi. Note that there was/is a previous prototype debugger, and we share some of its code (specifically the term printer) (see: GhciDebugger).
User's Manual
Command summary
Parameters to commands are indicated in angular brackets <...>, optional parameters are followed by a question mark. Ellipses ... indicate where a sequence of parameters is allowed. Everything else is literal text, as you would type it at the prompt.
Setting breakpoints:
:break <module>? <line> :break <module>? <line> <column> :break <module>? <identifier>
Listing breakpoints:
:show breaks
Deleting breakpoints:
:delete <break_number> ... <break_number> :delete *
Inspecting values:
:print <expression>
Single stepping:
:step :step <expression>
Continuting execution from a breakpoint:
Starting the debugger
The debugger is integrated with GHCi, and it is on by default. The debugger slows program execution down by a factor of approximately XXX times. You can turn it off (to avoid the slowdown) using the -fno-debug command line argument, when you start GHCi.
Setting break points
The general rule of thumb for breakpoints is that you can set a breakpoint on any thing which is not a value (though there are some exceptions). For example, a literal character is a value, but a case expression is not.
We call the places where you can set breakpoints as breakable expressions (even if some of them aren't strictly expressions).
You can set breakpoints on the following things: (XXX) Check this list carefully!
- Function applications. We allow breakpoints on partial applications, even though they are technically values. Also, if there is an application with more than one argument, we only allow breaks on the whole expression, not on the sub-applications within: e.g. for the expression map f list, we allow a break on the whole expression, but not on the sub-application of map f.
- Case expressions.
- Function declarations (all the equations of a function).
- Case alternatives.
- Do statements.
- Guards.
- Bodies of functions, pattern bindings, lambdas, guarded equations.
Conversely, you cannot set breakpoints on the following things, except if they occur as the outermost expression in the body of a declaration:
- Literals.
- Variables.
- Do blocks. XXX check this one
- List comprehensions. XXX check this one
You can set a breakpoint in three ways:
- By line number.
- By line and column number.
- By function name (not implemented yet).
In each case you can specify in which module you want to set the breakpoint, however, if that is omitted, the debugger will choose a suitable default module for you (XXX give a better explanation of what module is chosen by default).
The syntax for setting breakpoints by line number is:
:break <module>? <line>
This will activate the breakpoint which corresponds to the leftmost outermost breakable expression which begins and ends on the line indicated by the <line> parameter, if such an expression exists. XXX If no such expression exists then what happens? Currently the debugger will report an error message, but perhaps it is nicer for it to probe a few lines ahead until it finds a breakable expression, or give up after some threshold number of lines?
The syntax for setting breakpoints by line and column is:
:break <module>? <line> <column>
This will activate the breakpoint which corresponds to the smallest breakable expression which encloses the source location (<line>, <column>), if such an expression exists. If no such expression exists the debugger will report an error message.
The syntax for setting breakpoints by function name is: (XXX not yet implemented)
:break <module>? <identifier>
This will activate the outermost breakpoint associated with the definition of <identifier>. If <identifier> is defined by multiple equations, the breakpoint will cover them all. This means the computation will stop whenever any of those equations is evaluated. XXX What about local functions? XXX What about functions defined in type classes (default methods) and instance declarations?
Listing the active breakpoints
You can list the set of active breakpoints with the following command:
:show breaks
Each breakpoint is given a unique number, which can be used to identify the breakpoint should you wish to delete it (see the :delete command). Here is an example list of breakpoints:
0) Main (12,4)-(12,8) 1) Foo (13,9)-(13,13) 2) Bar (14,4)-(14,47)
Breakpoint 0 is set in the module Main on the breakable expression which spans between the source locations (12,4) to (12,8). Similarly for breakpoints 1 and 2.
Deleting breakpoints
You can delete any active breakpoint with the :delete command. Breakpoints are refered to by their unique number which is displayed by the :show breaks command (see above). You can refer to more than one breakpoint at a time, for example:
:delete <break_number> ... <break_number>
This will delete all the breakpoints which are identified by the numbers <break_number> ... <break_number>. If you specify a breakpoint which does not exist, the debugger will simply ignore it.
You can also delete all the active breakpoints by giving the asterisk as an argument to delete, like so:
:delete *
What happens when the debugger hits a breakpoint?
When an executing computation hits an active breakpoint, control is returned to the GHCi prompt. The debugger will print out a message indicating where the breakpoint occurred, and the names and types of the local variables which are in scope at that point. Here is an example:
Stopped at breakpoint in Main. Location: (6,6)-(6,20). Locals: x :: Bool, f :: Bool -> Bool, xs :: [Bool], fx :: Bool, j :: Bool *Main>
The string "*Main>" is GHCi's prompt marker. Note that it can change depending on what modules you have loaded.
All the normal GHCi commands work at the prompt, including the evaluation of arbitrary expressions. In addition to the normal prompt behaviour, the local variables of the breakpoint are also made available. For instance, in the above example the variable f is a function from booleans to booleans, and we can apply it to an argument in the usual way:
*Main> f False True
The debugger also provides commands for inspecting the values of local variables without forcing their evaluation any further (see Inspecting values below).
You can continue execution of the current computation with the :continue and :step commands, explained below.
Inspecting values
It is important to note that, due to the non-strict semantics of Haskell (particularly lazy evaluation), the values of local variables at a breakpoint may only be partially evaluated. Therefore printing values may cause them to be further evaluated. This raises some interesting issues for the debugger because evaluating something could raise an exception, or it could cause another breakpoint to be fired, or it could cause non-termination. For these reasons we want to be able to print values in a way which preserves their current state of evaluation. The debugger provides the :print command for this purpose.
For example, suppose the local variable xs is bound to a list of booleans, but the list is completely unevaluated at a breakpoint. We can inspect its value without forcing any more evaluation like so:
*Main> :print xs xs = (_t1::[Bool])
The debugger uses fresh variable names (starting with underscores) to display unevaluated expressions (often called thunks). Here _t1 is a thunk. A side effect of the :print command is that these fresh variables are made available to the command line, so we can refer to them future commands.
Sometimes we want to evaluate thunks a little bit further. This is easy to do because they are bound to variable names. For example, we can evaluate the outermost data constructor of _t1 using seq like so:
*Main> seq _t1 () ()
This forces the evaluation of the thunk bound to _t1 to Weak Head Normal Form (WHNF), and then returns (). The purpose of the expression is to force the evaluation of _t1, we don't actually care about the answer, so () makes a good dummy value.
If we print xs again we can see that it has been evaluated a little bit more:
*Main> :print xs xs = [True | (_t2::[Bool])]
Here we discover that the value of xs is a list with True as its head and a thunk as its tail. The thunk is bound to the fresh variable _t2, which can be manipulated at the command line as usual.
Another way to force further evaluation of a thunk is to use it inside another expression. For instance, we could examine the spine of the list xs by computing its length:
*Main> length xs 3 *Main> :print xs xs = [True,(_t3::Bool),(_t4::Bool)]
Single stepping
When a computation has hit a breakpoint it is sometimes useful to continue execution up until the next breakable expression is evaluated, regardless of whether there is a breakpoint set at that location. This functionality is provided by the :step command:
The :step command accepts an optional argument expression. The expression is evaluated as usual, but the computation will stop at the first breakable expression which is encountered:
:step <expression>
Continuing execution after a breakpoint
A computation which has stopped at a breakpoint can be resumed with the :continue command:
Known problems in the debugger
The following list describes issues where the debugger does not behave in the ideal way:
- Computations which fork concurrent threads can use breakpoints, but sometimes a thread gets blocked indefinitely. Consider this program:
main = do forkIO foo bar foo = do something bar = do something else
Suppose we have a breakpoint set somewhere inside the computation done by foo, but there are no breakpoints in the computation done by bar. When we run this program in GHCi the following things happen:
- foo gets forked and foo and bar begin their work
- bar completes its job and we return to the GHCi prompt (uh oh!)
- foo eventually hits a breakpoint and attempts to return to the command line, but it can't because we are already there (in the previous step).
Now the foo thread is blocked, so we can't witness the breakpoint.
Wishlist of features (please add your's here)
- Replace Loc with a proper source span type
- Look at slow behaviour of :print command on long list of chars (I've asked Pepe about this).
- Investigate whether the compiler is eta contracting this def: "bar xs = print xs", this could be a problem if we want to print out "xs".
- Implement show command (to list currently set breakpoints)
- Fix the ghci help command
- Implement the delete command (to delete one or more breakpoints)
- Save/restore the link environment at break points. At a breakpoint we modify both the hsc_env of the current Session, and
also the persistent linker state. Both of these are held under IORefs, so we have to be careful about what we do here. The "obvious" option is to save both of these states on the resume stack when we enter a break point and then restore them when we continue execution. I have to check with Simon if there are any difficult issues that need to be resolved here, like gracefully handling exceptions etc.
- Remove dependency on -fhpc flag, put debugging on by default and have a flag to turn it off
- Allow break points to be set by function name. Some questions: what about local functions? What about functions inside type class instances, and default methods of classes?
- Support Unicode in data constructor names inside info tables
- Fix the slow search of the ticktree for larger modules, perhaps by keeping the ticktree in the module info, rather than re-generating it each time.
- Use a primop for inspecting the STACK_AP, rather than a foreign C call
- timing and correctness tests
- Wolfgang's patch for PIC seems to break the strings in Info tables, so we need to fix that.
- stabilise the API
- user documentation
- fix the calculation of free variables at tick sites (currently done too late in the pipeline, gives some wrong results). Note a possible problem with letrecs, which means some locals vars are missing in where clause.
Partially done
- perhaps there are some redundant ticks we can delete, such as ones which begin at the same start position?
- allow breakpoints to be enabled and disabled without deleting them, as in gdb
- extend breaks and step with counters, so that we stop after N hits, rather than immediately
- revert to adding tick information to the BCO directly, and remove the byte code instructions for breaks

How to Choose a Swim Training Fin
Swim training fins have many useful benefits, including use in physical rehabilitation, aqua aerobics, fitness swimming and competitive training. Using a smaller training fin provides added resistance without overloading the muscles joints, ligaments and tendons used in water exercise. Many fitness and competitive swimmers use long scuba/snorkel fins as a training aid. Because the center of effort in a long fin is forward of the foot, the excessive blade area and displaced center of effort may cause early fatigue or cramping, and encourage a "pedaling" motion different than that used in a flutter kick. The concept of the short training fin was conceived to bring the center of effort back to the foot, increase leg strength, and allow a swimmer to train with a kicking motion that is the same as the flutter kick without a fin.

where are you from, anyway, internet pilgrim? I'm honestly just asking.. I'm just going to get Mewtwo to permaban you soon as you become a full-blown annoying troll.

You know what's incredibly pitiful? Submission. Don't sell your integrity, you get no commission.
Yeah. It should be on wikipedia "Rayne- fag."
You know what's incredibly pitiful? Submission. Don't sell your integrity, you get no commission.
Go back to being banned, it was the only time you actually did anything productive
Spare me, nigga. If you want a fight with me, then come out with me all out instead of barraging me with your shitty insults. Or follow your own advice and shut the fuck up. I'm not here to cause trouble, but I can do that and much more if you bring me to it.
Your such a joke, I'm just finding different ways of getting someone to ban you
Quit the facade. You don't want to go up against me again because you know I'll beat you. It's too much of a waste of my time to continue this little bitchfight so just admit that I bruised your ego and you're too butthurt to make any post that kicks a message in, and I won't think any less of you. I couldn't possibly.
You've got nothing to threaten me with other than banishment, which is further proof that you ain't got shit. And what makes this funny is that bans are easy to evade and even easier when half the staff is in hibernation. You honestly can't do anything to me other than wave half-assed satire everytime I post. You're just another retard pretending to laugh.I'm just finding different ways of getting someone to ban you
And I repeat:

I could embarrass you in front of the entire forum if I wanted to, but I choose not to. Your choices were clear every since I returned to this place: Either forget the past and accept me into the forum or ignore me completely and ask a mod to ban me. But in the end your stubbornness gets the best of you, and this is where we differ.
I don't know, I think this is funny. I really don't know why Rayne comes here though. He hates everything Pokemon, he hates everyone here, and he believes this is a waste of time...
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [points to head] and here [points to heart] and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.
Lolno. I hate the repetitiveness of the games and unoriginality of the anime. I do like Pokemon though, in the general sense.
Lolno. I think the majority of the members here are alright. It's a few I have a beef with.he hates everyone here,
Lolno. Me bitchfighting Mario is a waste of time. He doesn't seem to get that though.and he believes this is a waste of time...
Alright, seriously guys... Every single one of you needs to learn the proper usage of the words "You're" and "Your". Thank you. And Rayne totally said butthurt. I might have to use that word. It was actually a little funny. I never thought I would say this, but props go to you for that word Rayne.
You know what's incredibly pitiful? Submission. Don't sell your integrity, you get no commission.
Fuck off or the penny will drop.
This is funny. You remind me of this faggot called LinkMasterJ on this video game forum. He sucks ups to the staff and veterans hoping that they'll like him and get him into the 'in gang'. Naturally I got pissed and destroyed him in two posts but the jackass was back in his game within a week.
Of course there's a difference between you and him because the elitists over here obviously like you and you're less shitty than he is. But the similarities hold ground nonetheless.
Tell me, nigga, would you like me to whoop your ass as I did his? Because, honestly, you hiding behind Mario's back sucking God's dick while taking cheap shots at me is getting annoying.
Your really a joke, stop taking yourself seriously, no one else here does.
I wish we had an active mod around here.

A Conversation with Mayor Garcetti
Join Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in conversation with Los Angeles Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne as they discuss the shape of the built environment and civic landscape of Los Angeles, from architecture and urban design to planning and mobility.

WOW!!!! What finish is this?
Nice !
Not to derail this thread, but I have a question on guitar weight from the private stock . I recently purchased ( did not receive yet ) a Ted McCarty DC245 wood library from willcutt. I noticed after the fact, that my guitar is lighter than many of the others. I read somewhere that some woods if high quality is lighter than the same wood type, but mine happens to be around 7.1 lbs and seems all the others start at 7.6 and higher.
I realize my guitar is not private stock, but I was told that the wood library in the type of wood that is used for private stock. Not sure if that is accurate though.
I am not sure if this makes a difference, but my main playing style is lead and I want great sustain. This guitar may give me all this, but wondering your opinion on weight vs tone / sustain ?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

I bet thats a big problem when you work for PRS. You see all these lovely guitars and you cant take them home.
I am not a luthier but i am in my own workshop.
There is another thread about #1's going on and I posted this photo of Paul's guitar, but I thought it belonged in here as well.
Just... WOW!!! I loved the Olive PS that Brian had in stock a while back, glad to see they can easily reproduce that finish!!! That HB above... yowza!!!
Here's a little taste to hold you over until Friday.
When is a white wash not a white wash? When the maple is so clean and so clear that no white wash is required.
I have a maple Tonare being made...that one sure looks nice!

Younger social media users are more likely to be online while in the bathroom, the study found. / USA TODAY file photo
If you have found yourself using Facebook and Twitter in the bathroom, you are not the only one.
Nearly one-third (32%) of the heaviest adopters of social networks - those ages 18 to 24- connect with sites such as Facebook and Twitter in the bathroom. The new data, from NM Incite, offer a glimpse into the growing devotion that Americans have to social networks.
Time spent on social networks increased 37% over 12 months ago, according to the new report out today.
"Social media is truly everywhere in people's lives," says Deirdre Bannon, vice president of social-media solutions at NM Incite, a joint venture of Nielsen and consulting firm McKinsey & Co. "It is so ingrained and has touched every facet of everything we do all day long. We are literally taking our phones with us to the bathroom and connecting on social media."
Linking up with social networks in the loo transcends ages.
More than one-fourth (28%) of those ages 25-34 are bathroom social networkers, as are 15% of those ages 35-44. Both sexes are equally likely to use social networks in the bathroom, with 14% of them saying they do.
At work, those most likely to use social networks were those ages 25-34, more than half of whom (51%) were connected in the office. "People are connected at work because they are always on," Bannon says. "But part of it is they are tapping into that exponentially broader universe to get information about products, eventsand brands. It has both the social component, as well as the informational aspect."
More people are on the Internet than a year ago - and they are spending more time connecting to social networks. The number of PC-based Internet users dropped slightly, from 213.2 million in 2011 to 204.7 million, or a 4% decline. That was offset by an 85% increase in those connecting to the Internet on mobile apps (101.8 million, up from 55 million) and 82% on mobile Web browsers (95.2 million, up from 52.4 million).
The findings come from Nielsen data gathered from more than 200,000 Internet users during July and roughly parallels online measurement firm ComScore's recent estimate of a U.S. Internet audience of 234.9 million on PCs and mobile devices.
Nearly one-third (30%) of all time spent on mobile devices is spent on social networks, compared with 20% of all time spent on PCs. Personal computers remain at "the center of the social-networking experience and most of the time spent is actually there," Bannon says. However, "People are connecting through more mobile devices â?¦ (and) they are also increasing their engagement with social media regardless of what device they are accessing."
Combining all devices, overall time spent on social networks rose 37% - the average woman spent 18 hours and 20 minutes per month, while men spent about 13 hours. The biggest social networkers? Those ages 18-24 who spend more than 21 hours each month on social networks, followed by the 25-34 age group at more than 20 hours.
Top social-network site Facebook actually saw a slight decrease in users - down 4% to 152.2 million users on PCs - but time spent on the site rose 23%. Overall, Facebook accounts for 17% of all time that Internet users spend online, Bannon says. "The story about Facebook is still a story of just tremendous growth and engagement."
On the rise: Pinterest, the fourth-most-popular social-networking site based on time spent, behind Tumblr and Twitter - and the sixth-most-popular based on users (27.2 million) behind Blogger, Twitter, Wordpress and LinkedIn.
"Pinterest exploded onto the scene in 2012," Bannon says. Meanwhile, Twitter and Tumblr continue to grow "and new social-media channels continue to emerge and catch on."

I agree but how do we regulate it? Is an acreage limit the answer? If you own under 20 acres you don"t count as an agricultural enterprise so you don't "need the land"?
ohh i don't think you need to get all wild about how to reduce the population .it will make its own correction and sooner then later. it will be famine or disease or war over resources but there will be a correction. my big concern is what will happen afterwards. there is always tyrants out there looking to step up to lead for there own glory and usually to the common mans detriment. chaos and fear are there tools.
hobbyfarmer- you have no idea what your talking about. the third world is not looking to see how many kids we have here to decide how many they will have. we are not there inspirational leaders .are you delusional? your ego is blinding you. i hope that our kids come up with a way to make things better because it sure isn't coming from the 3rd world. a short story if i may . i was in Indonesia to get some shoes made ( looked all over no Americans wanted the job) so i looked around found this Indian fellow who was eager to take the job he had a small leather business. so i had the shoes made and they did pretty well so i made some leather belts and accessories to go along and they did ok. so i go there about 3 times a year and first thing he does is get a second wife and proceeds to have at least a kid a year for the first 10 years we do business. so i ask him if it bothers him about over populating an already very overpopulate place. he didn't understand what i meant . did i mean i though it was bad to have children? i explained that to many kids would run the world out of food and resources and degrade the quality of life for all. its a real catchy idea in the US.he thought a few seconds then said well if that comes to pass well at least there will be more of us then you. that's the 3rd world.
I was disappointed to hear that several folks had terminated their subscriptions after the "Population" article. On the other hand, I am thrilled that Mother Earth News is beginning to talk about this issue.
Many people do not understand that we are all part of the earth's ecosystem. Anytime a species population grows too large, Mother Nature steps in and reduces that population via disease, starvation, etc. We, as humans, are not immune. The earth's unhealthy state is primarily the result of human activities. Even with all the technology in the world, we are never going to solve many of these ills until the human population declines to a sustainable level. Education, family planning, and erasing the stigma attached to discussing human population is start in the right direction. Thanks Mother Earth News.
i was kind of blown away that people would leave over an article that they didn't like. really, its just someones opinion. how can you live in a more down to earth life and be so inflexible? its not like its some big secret we are coming up to the point where we wont be able to grow enough food to feed the worlds population. how is dropping the M.E.N. doing you any service? ahh well, what ever. it s a free country and spend your money as you see fit. as for me, do try and keep me informed about the world around me as i don't have as much time to read as id like. i also appreciate people with differing views than my current one as that's the best way to learn IMHO. keep it real
That post above, referring to the population of the UK. The number is dizzying. SEVENTY MILLION! That's about 20% of the US population living on that one tiny island. How far Britain has come from only a couple centuries ago when it had a population of a mere million.
I am from Alaska. This is a region probably four or five times the size of the UK with a population of about five hundred thousand. Having lived in that real wilderness for more than a quarter of my life, I know what the wild is. I've felt it's magic, it's allure, it's independent and even spiritual power.
I was in the UK about six years ago, and I have to say, as an Alaskan, I was devestated--almost traumatized by the experience. I remember coming down on the 747 and looking over London below, thinking there are a hundred times as many people in that one city as there are in the whole state of Alaska. It was so rattling to me that when the plane hit the ground, I could not stay in the city to visit as I had planned. I went straight to Paddington Square and jumped on a train to north Wales.
The world for thousands of years had a marginally sustainable population of between 50 and 200 million. Something has gone wrong with humanity in the last century. We've become out of control and don't have the wisdom or will to stop what we are doing. Having known real wilderness and compared that to what I found in Europe, I feel this in my bones. Just as everyday I see new development at the expense of nature and feel a deep sorrow for an irreplaceable loss.
I remember at an undergraduate class on biology and ecosystems, the professor discussed how species move into an environment and develop an equilibrium. Sometimes those species find a niche they can exploit and then their populations skyrocket. It all seems great to the species--the sky is the limit and nothing can stop it. Then suddenly the niche is fully exploited and the resource is gone. When this happens, the population of the species plummets, sometimes to a new equilibrium, but often to extinction. Mankind is on that path now. Only the world is our environment and technology is our niche, and universally toxic pollution is our byproduct--not to mention our numbers and penchant for sweeping away pre-existing ecosystems.
Where will we stop? Hopefully before we have become as dense as the Brits. While there is still an ecosystem to be restored and our children might yet inherit a green world.
Is there a quality verses quantity thing on breeding?And if there is who sets the bar?
I mean, is it better to have one child daycare raised who can get high score on a Nintendo system and a nice office job someday or is that just equal to 4 farm kids?
what are the farm kids nintendo high score?
Population increases can be reduced as women in poorer countries are educated. This has proven to be the case in India and elsewhere. Once women become educated they also become breadwinners and thus a change is made in the family's view of the need for more children to help with chores, grow crops, and tend to pastoral duties. Though this is a simplfied description, it is basically how the change occurs. As stated in the article on population, negative population growth is occuring in some European countries and other economically and educationally advanced countries may be on their way to achieving zero population growth.
There is no doubt that a better use of resources may sustain a larger population than exists, however, it would be best to make the important steps to reducing the population now. The future appears to hold a huge opportunity for starvation and death due to the inability of poorer nations to feed their populations. The global economy and global trade taking place is making it possible for the corporations of the world to move food and other resources from the poor countries that produce them to countries that can afford the food and other goods on such a grand scale that the people in the countries could literally work themselves to death while depleting their own resources for sustaining life. This is not anything new, just on a grander scale than what took place during the colonial period.
I do see over-population as an issue. It is such a complex one, however.
As mrgreenjeans said, the people who are conscious of avoiding adding to the burden are the very ones who should be breeding. How very ironic! I can't see how we reverse that trend.
What concerns me more is that the resources we consume for our lifestyles are so disproportionate. The amount of energy average American's consume is astounding.
While it is ghastly to contemplate, I think a pandemic could actually turn out to be beneficial in the long run. At least it would distract us from bloody wars and runaway "progress" and perhaps bring our attention to more basic survival needs and the need for major change. We simply have too many people and we don't really value life much. We're like too many animals caged up together - they start to get aggressive and violent. Quality has lost out to quantity.
If there were fewer humans, not only would this relieve the strain on other species, it would buy our planet and our own species some time. Time to reconsider the way forward and slow things down, time to pick and choose what worked in the past, and reconnect with our values, our communities, our families, nature itself and hopefully learn some valuable lessons.
At times I feel a sense of despair about it all, but then I do think nature/gaia/God/whatever-you-like-to-name-it will control the population in some way. It won't be pleasant, but it is inevitable. We just aren't sustainable at these rates.
Living downtown Toronto and commuting is getting more difficult at an alarming rate. The number of trains, buses, and street cars is nowhere near sufficient especially during morning and afternoon rush hour! Over the last year I have gradually had to wake up earlier and earlier in order to ensure connecting with the right train and bus route not to mention find enough room to even stand up shoulder to shoulder with hundreds other fellow commuters. I dread how things will be in another year if the TTC doesn't invest in more vehicles in the near future.
"There's are a lot of problems and no easy solution..."
Yes, that is how it is. Was surprised to see a few readers of ME cancel their subscriptions due to such short sided awareness of what faces mankind.
If the world was a perfect entity, no, the gov should not dictate pop control...but we are far from perfect.
Our future existence on this planet will demand some form of pop control, but I think nature will take care of that problem in the not so distant future.
The world is in a death spiral and politicians as well as industry are pretending this problem does not exist. We can only blame ourselves, for it is just how we have built our world over the years....too many people, living outside of natures intended balance and not an infinite supply of energy to fuel all our demands.
It would be one thing if we all reverted back to rural living, burning trees for fuel and housing and living within our comfortable means allotted to us by nature, as our ancestors did back in the day. But seven billion people can't burn the trees! Our population has grown to levels where it has passed the point of no return for supporting a sustainable human population as we know it today when it comes to their energy demands.
And leading the pack of over consumers is the USA.
Consumption is ingrained in us and we know no other way. And even if we wished to amend our ways, how could all our retirement funds take the hit? America is built on borrowed money, spending and consumerism.
And what does all that consumerism lead to?
It leads to the mess we are in now and the bigger mess the world will be in once India and China pick up momentum to copycat the envious lifestyle that they have held in high esteem as the 'American Dream'
You see, the problem is not with the earth having enough land for all its people - the problem is with earth providing ad infinitum for all the needs the people crave.
The more people born, the more heat is produced from their life and all their cravings, As such, the warmer and more polluted the earth gets and the more energy they all use and the earths resources are depleted.
Fueling the problem of consumption is the games the Federal and World banks play with interest rates. They manage the economies in ways to fuel consumption and mask the real trend. Witness the recent cries for Federal bankers to lower interest rates...so the stock market can go up...fueled by spending of the consumer.
It is drug habit that Greenspan got us hooked on and we just can't get away from.
Our economy is not based on sustainable health - it is based low interest credit to encourage compulsive spending, debt and living a life of constant consumption with a 'disposable mentality' when it comes to durable goods.
All this consumption to artificially fuel our economy to make our retirement funds only go up contributes to more and more global warming and the depletion of our natural resources. Then the governments juggle the numbers to make the inflation figures seem artificially low, so everyone's retirement portfolio will make them happy so they will continue to buy and consume more...and on it goes....IT IS ALL WE KNOW
We can see we have created a time bomb. Even the highest level brainiac economists can't fix what ails us. Our whole system is based on an unsustainable model that will eventually collapse no matter how much money that is printed up by the Fed. (...they don't even need to print money nowadays, all that needs to be done to create billions is to magnetize a silicon chip!)
Now maybe if our energy supply was stable and affordable and Peak Oil was not in our future and global warming was not an issue, things would be different and we could keep on consuming and expanding ad infinitum as our world overpopulates itself.
But...IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE TO DO A 180...Without compulsive spending and conspicuous consumption funded by unaffordable debt, we would fail as a country.
You ever hear the saying...'I got the tiger by the tail and can't let go?' That is how it has developed in the US of A.
Lets say everyone becomes voluntary simplicity and frugal squirrel devotees. We recycle, reuse, repair and just say no to buying more crap. If we stop buying all the stuff that America imports from China - who keeps the billion plus people in China from starving, so they do not go back to old ways of trying to take over the world?
And on a more local level, if the consumer stops consuming even US goods, the US companies go bust, everyone loses their jobs and his or her retirement funds will collapse.
What about growing a a garden...nothing wrong with that? Lets say everyone starts growing 'victory gardens' in the backyard as food has become unaffordable. So some of the few farmers left in the US go bust cause their food just rots on the shelves unsold. Now there is less food being produced and at even a higher cost to those that can afford it the least.
What about more taxes?
Tax the little guy so DC can pay for their compulsive spending disease. More taxes = less for us to compulsively spend 'trying' to buy happiness = lower earnings for the greedy corporations = raise hell with the DOW = less cap gains tax income for the gov to squander = everyone's retirement funds sink lower and lower = even less compulsive spending since everyone is poorer.
Back in the day, (prairie and turn of the century) homesteaders were more of a self sufficient nature. Some raised cows and produced milk. If they had excess milk they made butter and cheese out of it. They may have traded the excess with their neighbors that had a bumper crop of potatoes and carrots. And others specialized in poultry and eggs and traded or sold their output with the farmer's making honey or maple syrup...and some did it all.
Sure, few were people were 100% self sufficient. They always looked to the railroad to bring in seed or other things. But they possessed a certain ability to survive that is lost within the society nowadays....a society that is obsessed with downloading the perfect ring-tone or fondling their electronic communication device in the sweaty little palms as they dream about what to buy next in the hopes of satisfying inner fulfillment with outer possessions.
Most of us have lost that skill of self sufficiency and we have shifted gears to be dependent on gov and a few other such as farmers or oil producers or China to take care of the whole pop of the US. The problem is, it is very hard to go back without causing a lot of pain. (Actually a lot of deaths)
Hell, the impotent people of modern day and age can't even make pancakes or peanut butter sandwiches and have to buy them ready made in the store...it's really scary.
Robot babies
My solution is to invent robot babies so people can live with the illusion they are breeding. The next generation will be only 90 to 95 % of what is currently the mass of overstock we have now. These robot babies will grow up and obviously not breed.
I too am surprised at the number of subscribers who canceled after the article about population,it's one of those huge issues that no one seems to want to talk about because it brings to mind extreme issues such as abortion,ethnic cleansing and China's one child policy,while these are all very contentious issues and I don't blame anyone for thier strong feelings about them,we don't have to go into all these extremes to discuss and acknowledge that there is a human population problem WORLDWIDE,not just us,not just in China and India but all over and I don't think it's right to say that here in the US or in the UK that we have any more right to reproduce ourselves than some poor woman in India or Korea,what makes us so special?
We have a huge population here in the US and we use a massive amount of resources yet it seems to be encouraged for people to have large families,I think even just the existence of fertility clinics is a sad statement that we are all too in love with ourselves.
I have one Daughter and it's been an incredible experience,I wouldn't have minded having another child but I feel obligated,with the state of the world and it's population to only engender one child and give that child everything that I can so she can have a good life and grow up to make good choices.
I won't judge anyone for making the choices that they make but I feel it's my responsibility to make the choice that I have though I wish more people would really and truly think about it before they conceive yet another child,regardless of income,location,etc...
Population is an environmental issue where people tend to have very definite, and often very different, opinions.We've posted a new article about population issues here. Now we'd like to hear what you have to say! Post your thoughts here and weigh in on this important topic.

Phoronix: A Duo Of Peculiar Games Being Ported To Linux
Replay Games has written into Phoronix to talk about two commercial game titles that they will be bringing to Linux...
How about they release the source code?
No, that's what I thought.
They want free money from the community but they don't want to share the source code with the community, they want to hoard on it themselves.
Seriously? Never used a closed-source application? Ever? Or you only hate closed-source Linux applications because they are corrupting the one true free OS?
I hate this and I'm disgusted by all of you zealots hating on everyone who just happen to have a different (read: pragmatic) world view than you.
Nah, I don't think so.
The "OMG zealots kidnapping your children" FUD mostly comes from people who misunderstand FLOSS activists and what they are saying.
Most of us zealots want essential elements of computing to be available to everyone, including source code: infrastructure, operating system, standard tools everybody relies on, as well as anything that you have to use. In addition, most of us zealots are already happy if we have ONE FLOSS option for each of those, which is fully featured and can freely exchange documents with closed source applications: give me Firefox, KMail and LibreOffice, and you can keep Opera, Eudora and MS Office -- as long as we can all exchange documents without anyone being locked in.
In that respect, an optional game, that nobody really NEEDS, is a very different thing from an essential driver, or a web browser.
No, it's not like pre-ordering a game some weeks before release.
These people does not have any game.
Who knows, maybe there wont be any game?
Maybe the "developers" take the money and take a vacation to Jamaica to pay for blackjack and hookers?
Maybe they get bored and stop develop it.
Maybe they have some internal disagreement and the team dissolves.
Maybe one or more developers get hit by a bus?
Maybe one team member steals all the funds for himself or his gambling addiction?
Maybe the estimated costs are wrong. 10% of the things tend to take up 90% of the time.

This course gives students the tools they need to evaluate a material based on how it impacts the built and natural environment. Since people in western cultures tend to spend most of their time indoors, specific attention will be paid to Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). Environmentally responsible materials selection will be discussed, including the importance of waste, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and all aspects of the manufacturing process. Interior design issues that are covered include the importance of natural daylighting, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), and acoustics. Current materials rating systems and specification writing aids will be reviewed. Case studies representing best practices in sustainable design of interiors will be presented for discussion. This course is directly useful to anyone selecting materials for any kind of building project.

I am a medical oncologist with clinical and laboratory experience in cancer genetics. My research focuses on defining genetic factors that cause an increased susceptibility to cancer. My research team identified the most common mutation associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. My MSKCC colleagues and I also published the first prospective series describing the outcome of preventive ovarian surgery and screening in women at hereditary risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Ongoing research is aimed at defining new genetic risk factors and tailored interventions for families at hereditary risk for cancers of the breast, ovary, colon, prostate, and lymphoid organs.
I have served as a member of the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Genetics Working Group, chaired the subcommittee on cancer genetics of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and serve on a number of local and federal advisory committees dealing with cancer genetic testing and genomic risk profiling.
