Further information can be found at my personal web site: http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~davidb/.
Personal DescriptionI received my Bachelors degree in Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh in 1991 (class medalist). For the following two years I worked in the area of CAD/CAM design as a research engineer for Thorn EMI (London). In 1993 I was awarded a Commonwealth scholarship to undertake a PhD at the University of Canterbury (NZ) to study the problem of optical music recognition. I joined the department at Waikato in 1996, completing my PhD part-time a year later.
Research InterestsSince moving to Waikato I have continued to broadened my interest in digital media, while retaining a particular emphasis on music. I am an active member of the Greenstone Digital Library Project, recepient of the Namur award in 2004 for its IT development for humanitarian aid. Through this work I have collaborated with several United Nations Agencies, the BBC and various public libraries. Our digital music library system, Meldex illustrates some the ideas we are exploring in musical domain, including the ability to retrieve songs by humming part of the tune.
Other media I have experimented within a digital library context include oral history, historic primary source documents, and video (music) clips. In collaboration with Imperial Collage I am developing direct content methods for handling mixed media formats such as newspapers and film footage. I also work with University College London Interaction Centre (UCLIC) on HCI related topics. I have published in the areas of image processing. music information retrieval, digital libraries, human computer interactions, data compression, and text mining.

Now that we're on the back half of the 2013 fantasy football season, waiver wire adds become increasingly important. Getting the correct adds to fill your teams needs will be the difference between making a postseason run, remaining in front of the pack or sitting way back and ultimately failing to reach the playoffs. It's time to get momentum rolling and giving the following adds an opportunity will enhance your chance of making the postseason. After all, that's what the regular season is for, playing well enough to reach the second season to win it all. Chris Ogbonnaya: RB, Cleveland Browns The dual-threat talent of Chris Ogbonnaya has really helped Cleveland's offense find balance this season. Regardless of who's at quarterback, Ogbonnaya has done rather well since Trent Richardson was traded away. Totaling 53 yards in Week 3, Ogbonnaya hit 48 total yards and a score in Week 4′s win over Cincinnati. Then in Week 6 he accounted for 85 yards and another score. Expect Ogbonnaya to remain a strong aspect of Cleveland's offense moving forward. Dallas Clark: TE, Baltimore Ravens For depth purposes, Dallas Clark is a nice add. With bye weeks continuing through October and November, having Clark is a strong fit to fill tight end and flex spots moving forward. For one, he has been targeted 35 times and is coming off his best performance of 81 yards on four catches and a score versus Green Bay. Although he's 34 years old, Clark remains a dependable veteran and his presence gives Joe Flacco another target. Factor in Baltimore's ground game and Clark will also benefit from play-action when contributing. New Orleans Saints Defense Despite the Saints giving up the game-winning score to New England on Sunday, Rob Ryan has this defense playing extremely well. After ranking basically dead last in every category last season, the Saints have made a significant turnaround. Allowing just a 59.7 completion percentage, New Orleans has eight picks, 20 sacks and has only given up seven passing scores. Ryan's defense also didn't allow more than 18 points in a game through New Orleans' 5-0 start. Even though 30 were given up against Brady and the Pats, the Saints won't see another high-powered offense until Dallas in Week 10.

Loosely it means "son of a bitch." But historically, it meant "son of raped woman." The verb "chingar" comes from a Nahuatl (Aztec) word meaning "to rape." When the Spaniards arrived in the Americas, their raping of the indigenous women was so widespread that chingar began to be used as a curse, similar to the F-word. That is why chingar and its derivatives are not used in Spain but only in Latin American countries, and especially in Mexico.

Gold Cup
Crew forward Jairo Arrieta scored the second of Costa Rica's three goals in La Sele's 3-0 win over Cuba to open play in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The tally was Arrieta's fourth goal for his country, all of which have come in 2013. Costa Rica continues on in the group stage of the Gold Cup against Belize at Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Costa Rica advanced to the Final of the 2013 Cope Centroamericana on Friday night following a 1-0 win against El Salvador. Crew striker Jairo Arrieta started the match and played 65 minutes before being subbed off for Portland TImbers defender Rodney Wallace. Wallace scored the winner six minutes later to propel La Sele to the championship match.
Costa Rica will take on Honduras in the Final at the Estadio Nacional at 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Crew striker Jairo Arrieta and Costa Rica completed group play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana Tuesday night with a 1-1 draw against Guatemala. Arrieta tallied his second goal of the tournament in the 12th minute to help La Sele finish at the top of Group A.
The Ticos will resume play in the semifinal of the tournament against El Salvador on Friday. Costa Rica previously claimed a spot in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup with its 2-0 win over Nicaragua on Sunday. Cities and venues for the 2013 Gold Cup will be announced on Wednesday.
Costa Rica solidified its place in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup with a 2-0 win against Nicaragua on Sunday night. Crew striker Jairo Arrieta entered the match as a 66th minute substitute on Sunday after providing the difference-maker in Friday's 1-0 victory over Belize.
With the win, La Sele sits atop Group A in Copa Centroamericano. The TIcos will complete group play Tuesday night against second-place Guatemala.
MATCH REPORT: Costa Rica 2 - Nicaragua 0
Costa Rica kicked off play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericano late Friday night, with Crew striker Jairo Arrieta providing the difference in the host country's 1-0 victory over Belize. Arrieta's 55th minute tally was his first goal for La Sele in five career caps.
The Ticos will resume play in the tournament on Sunday against Nicaragua. Copa Centroamericano runs until January 27 and the top five teams in the seven-team tournament qualify for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, Arrieta may not report to Crew training camp at that point as La Sele begins the Hexagonal round of 2014 World Cup Qualifying in Panama on February 6.

Revision as of 21:41, 26 April 2011
Welcome to Noisebridge! We're glad you're interested in our space and we look forward to seeing you soon. Here's some advice to help you understand what you're getting into and see if it appeals to you.
Contents |
Who is welcome
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit Noisebridge. We ask that visitors follow our rule of "be excellent to each other" in the best spirit they can. Visitors can drop by anytime unannounced. You do not need an invitation, or to be attending a scheduled event/class. It may be wise to follow the advice below on the best times to visit, to ensure there are people there who can let you in. You can also talk on IRC or the Mailing list to figure out a good time, and ask if someone is willing to give you a tour.
Noisebridge is wheelchair accessible though wheelchair users may need help with the heavy manual elevator doors.
Come with an open mind
Noisebridge is largely about learning and exploring, and there's lots to see and learn here! Activities at Noisebridge include hanging out, working on personal or group projects, and scheduled or improptu workshops and classes on a range of topics, from foreign languages to photography, lockpicking, woodworking, computer programming and mathematics.
Some times are better than others
We have many scheduled activities in the space, and many of us have day jobs. You can coordinate the time of your visit to ensure that you can find people to talk with (and to let you into the building!).
- Are you new? Wondering when to drop by? Come by any evening - you don't have to wait for a class or a meeting. Any night there will be people hanging out, and you're welcome to show up, say "I'm new!" and get a tour, join an outing for food, or just relax and work on your laptop until a conversation of interest comes up.
- If you're interested in particular activities, check out our schedule, posted on the main page of this site.
- If you'd like to come during unstructured time and talk with lots of people, after hours is best.
- If you'd prefer a quieter environment, come earlier in the day.
- You're unlikely to find many people in the space before noon on most days.
Our code of conduct
Our code of conduct is "be excellent to one another". Please respect the other people you meet at Noisebridge and the Noisebridge space itself. We welcome visitors because we believe in our community and want to share the things we're working on with everyone.
Other people's stuff
Please try to be careful with the things you find at Noisebridge, and recognize that the things on shelves are other people's stuff.
Not "child-safe"
We have not limited what we like to explore or discuss according to anyone's notions of "appropriateness" for children. Thus, anyone entering the space can be exposed to ideas, concepts, language and items which some would consider "adult-themed". We also have some tools and materials that can be hazardous for children or adults if used improperly. Children are as welcome in the space as any other person - just be prepared for what they may encounter.
Hostile network
The network at Noisebridge - like any public network - should be regarded as potentially hostile. This means that you should assume that any unencrypted communications over the network could be (and most likely are) monitored by others. Examples of vulnerable communications include POP3/IMAP email clients, most web browsing, IRC/AIM and similar chat protocols that are often not encrypted. While no issues have come up to date, and our code of conduct opposes malicious monitoring of others, it is wise to be aware of the potential. Stick to using SSL or secure tunnels or VPNs for anything that uses a password or that you otherwise wouldn't want other people to read. If you don't know how to protect your communications with encryption, many people at Noisebridge would be glad to help you out! (It would be nice if someone would provide links to a decent guide here.)
---Attempt at a Semi Decent Guide---
The most secure option you have is to set up an SSH tunnel to a remote server, and then use a proxy server like Polipo to forward all your HTTP through that server. Done properly, this will encrypt all your traffic without any further worries. If you do not have SSH access to a remote server, then you can use Tor or similar to encrypt your traffic without exposing it to the Noisebridge network.
The fallback position is to ensure that as many services as possible use HTTPS by default (especially webmail) and at least have browser based solution to protect against CRSF/XSS attacks. This may happen even if the website itself is solid -- if you're on a compromised internal network, the attacker can inject content into any HTML page that you're reading.

Peter, you are the man. Pizzas look perfect!I just wanted to point out that it was fairly recently that they stopped making dough in the stores. Not that I necessarily condone this, but if you want to get even more authentic you can make your pies with cold dough. Not sure its the best way to do it, but the Papa usually has a crust with a strong uncooked gum layer and a decent amount of bubbles which would both indicate a dough being used thats under about 65 degrees.
It's funny that you added the 15% semolina to yours, because I wanted to put it in mine, but didn't 'cause it wasn't in the 'recipe' .Did your sauce taste real sweet with 2t of sugar? I've never used that much.

zalicious,At the Stanislaus website, the only reference I found to a "plum" tomato is with respect to the Alta Cucina Naturale product. I don't know offhand whether "pear" tomatoes are the same as "plum" tomatoes, but there are a couple Stanislaus products that use the "pear" term but not the "plum" term. Peter

Menopause and Perimenopause
Menopause and Perimenopause
Topic Overview
What is menopause? What is perimenopause?
Menopause is the point in a woman's life when she has not had her period for 1 year. It marks the end of the childbearing years. It's sometimes called "the change of life."
For most women, menopause happens around age 50. But every woman's body has its own time line. Some women stop having periods in their mid-40s. Others continue well into their 50s.
Perimenopause is the process of change that leads up to menopause. It can start as early as your late 30s or as late as your early 50s. How long perimenopause lasts varies, but it usually lasts from 2 to 8 years. You may have irregular periods or other symptoms during this time.
Menopause is a natural part of growing older. You don't need treatment for it unless your symptoms bother you. But it's a good idea to learn all you can about menopause. Knowing what to expect can help you stay as healthy as possible during this new phase of your life.
What causes menopause?
Normal changes in your reproductive and hormone systems cause menopause. As your egg supply ages, your body begins to ovulate less often. During this time, your hormone levels go up and down unevenly (fluctuate), causing changes in your periods and other symptoms. In time, estrogen and progesterone levels drop enough that the menstrual cycle stops.
Some medical treatments can cause your periods to stop before age 40. Having your ovaries removed, having radiation therapy , or having chemotherapy can trigger early menopause.
What are the symptoms?
Common symptoms include:
- Irregular periods. Some women have light periods. Others have heavy bleeding. Your menstrual cycle may be longer or shorter, or you may skip periods.
- Hot flashes .
- Trouble sleeping (insomnia).
- Emotional changes. Some women have mood swings or feel grouchy, depressed, or worried.
- Headaches.
- Feeling that your heart is beating too fast or unevenly ( palpitations ).
- Problems with remembering or thinking clearly.
- Vaginal dryness.
Some women have only a few mild symptoms. Others have severe symptoms that disrupt their sleep and daily lives.
Symptoms tend to last or get worse the first year or more after menopause. Over time, hormones even out at low levels, and many symptoms improve or go away.
Do you need tests to diagnose menopause?
You don't need to be tested to see if you have started perimenopause or reached menopause. You and your doctor will most likely be able to tell based on irregular periods and other symptoms.
If you have heavy, irregular periods, your doctor may want to do tests to rule out a serious cause of the bleeding. Heavy bleeding may be a normal sign of perimenopause. But it can also be caused by infection, disease, or a pregnancy problem.
You may not need to see your doctor about menopause symptoms. But it is important to keep up your annual physical exams. Your risks for heart disease, cancer, and bone thinning (osteoporosis) increase after menopause. At your yearly visits, your doctor can check your overall health and recommend testing as needed.
Do you need treatment?
Menopause is a natural part of growing older. You don't need treatment for it unless your symptoms bother you. But if your symptoms are upsetting or uncomfortable, you don't have to suffer through them. There are treatments that can help.
The first step is to have a healthy lifestyle. This can help reduce symptoms and also lower your risk of heart disease and other long-term problems related to aging.
- Make a special effort to eat well. Choose a heart-healthy diet that is low in saturated fat. It should include plenty of fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, and high-fiber grains and breads.
- Eat a nutritious diet and be sure you are getting adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D to help your bones stay strong. Low-fat or nonfat dairy products are a great source of calcium.
- Get regular exercise. Exercise can help you manage your weight, keep your heart and bones strong, and lift your mood.
- Limit caffeine, alcohol, and stress. These things can make symptoms worse. Limiting them may help you sleep better.
- If you smoke, stop. Quitting smoking can reduce hot flashes and long-term health risks.
If lifestyle changes aren't enough to relieve your symptoms, you can try other measures, such as breathing exercises and yoga.
If you have severe symptoms, you may want to ask your doctor about prescription medicines. Choices include:
- Low-dose birth control pills before menopause.
- Low-dose hormone therapy (HT) after menopause.
- Antidepressants.
- A medicine called clonidine (Catapres) that is usually used to treat high blood pressure.
All medicines for menopause symptoms have possible risks or side effects. A very small number of women develop serious health problems when taking hormone therapy. Be sure to talk to your doctor about your possible health risks before you start a treatment for menopause symptoms.
Remember, it is still possible to become pregnant until you reach menopause. To prevent an unwanted pregnancy, keep using birth control until you have not had a period for 1 full year.

Living with symptoms of perimenopause and menopause: |
Menopause is a natural part of aging. As you age, the number and quality of your eggs decline, hormone levels fluctuate, and your menstrual cycle becomes less predictable until it finally stops completely.
Causes of early menopause
Certain lifestyle choices and medical treatments can cause or are linked to an earlier menopause, including:
- Smoking. On average, women who smoke reach menopause 1½ years earlier than those who don't. The longer you have smoked and the more you smoke, the stronger this effect is likely to be. 1
- Radiation therapy to or removal of the pituitary gland .
- Chemotherapy .
- Radiation therapy or other treatment to the abdomen or pelvis that damages the ovaries so that they no longer function.
- Genetic and autoimmune diseases .
- Removal of both ovaries (oophorectomy), which causes sudden menopause.
- Low body fat.
The first sign that you are nearing menopause is a change in your menstrual periods. They may become less frequent. And they may be lighter or heavier than you're used to.
Menopause symptoms range from mild (or none) to severe. They include:
- Hot flashes .
- Sleep disturbances (insomnia).
- Emotional changes, such as mood swings or irritability.
- A change in sexual interest or response.
- Problems with concentration and memory that are linked to sleep loss and fluctuating hormones (not a permanent sign of aging).
- Headaches.
- Rapid, irregular heartbeats (heart palpitations).
These symptoms usually go away after 1 or 2 years. But some women have them for several years longer.
Other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Examples include pregnancy; a significant change in weight; depression; anxiety; or uterine, thyroid, or pituitary problems.
Menopause caused by surgery, chemotherapy , or radiation therapy can cause more severe symptoms than usual. Preexisting conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, or irritability can also make symptoms worse.
Later symptoms
After you stop having menstrual periods, you may get other symptoms, including:
- Drying and thinning of the skin, caused by lower collagen production.
- Vaginal and urinary
tract changes, such as:
- Vaginal dryness, irritation, and itching.
- An increased risk of vaginal and urinary tract infections (UTIs) .
- Pain with sexual activity.
What Happens
In your late 30s, your egg supply begins to decline in number and quality. As a result, your hormone production changes. You may notice a shortened menstrual cycle and some premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms that you didn't have before.
Gradually, your periods become irregular. This can start as early as your late 30s or as late as your early 50s. It continues for 2 to 8 years before menstrual cycles end.
During this time, your ovaries are sometimes producing too much estrogen and/or progesterone and at other times too little. Your progesterone is likely to fluctuate more than before. This can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding . (If you have heavy or unexpected vaginal bleeding, see your doctor to be sure it isn't caused by a more serious condition.)
About 6 months to a year before your periods stop, your estrogen starts to drop. When it drops past a certain point, your menstrual cycles stop. After a year of no menstrual periods, you are said to have "reached menopause."
During the next year or so, estrogen levels keep going down. This lowers your risk for certain types of cancers (estrogen is linked to some types of cancerous cell growth). But low estrogen also creates some health concerns, such as:
- Bone loss. Low estrogen levels after menopause speed bone loss, increasing your risk of osteoporosis .
- Skin changes. Low estrogen leads to low collagen , which is a building block of skin and connective tissue. It's normal to have thinner, dryer, wrinkled skin after menopause. The vaginal lining and the lower urinary tract also thin and weaken. This condition can make sexual activity difficult. It can also increase the risk of vaginal and urinary tract infections.
- Tooth and gum changes. Low estrogen affects connective tissue, which increases your risk of tooth loss and possibly gum disease.
Although the reasons aren't well understood, a woman's risk of heart disease increases after menopause. Because heart disease is the number one killer of women, consider your heart risk factors when making lifestyle and treatment decisions.
When to Call a Doctor
Call your doctor if you have:
- Menstrual periods that are unusually heavy, irregular, or prolonged (1½ to 2 times longer than normal).
- Bleeding between menstrual periods, when periods have been regular.
- Renewed bleeding after having no periods for 6 months or more.
- Unexplained bleeding while you are taking hormones.
- Symptoms, such as insomnia , hot flashes , or mood swings, that aren't responding to home treatment and are interfering with your sleep or daily life.
- Vaginal pain or dryness that doesn't improve with home treatment, or you have signs of a urinary tract infection , such as pain or burning during urination or cloudy urine.
Who to see
The following health professionals can help you manage menopause symptoms and evaluate menstrual period changes:
Exams and Tests
Your age, your history of menstrual periods, your symptoms, and the results of your pelvic exam will tell your doctor whether you are near or at menopause. If possible, bring a calendar or journal of your periods and symptoms.
If you have severe symptoms, if your doctor suspects another medical condition, or if you have a medical condition that makes a diagnosis difficult, your doctor may do one or more of the following blood tests:
- A pregnancy test is done if there is a chance that you are pregnant. (This can also be a urine test.)
- A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test can be used to confirm whether you have reached menopause. FSH levels increase during perimenopause and are high after menopause.
- An estrogen test is sometimes done to see how low estrogen has dropped after menopause.
- A thyroid-stimulating hormone test is used to see whether irregular menstrual periods or perimenopause-like symptoms are being caused by a thyroid problem.
If you have had no menstrual periods for 1 year, this is a good time to have a full physical exam, with particular focus on your heart health and risk factors for osteoporosis .
Treatment Overview
Menopause is a natural part of aging. But symptoms can be difficult for some women.
If you have trouble sleeping, mood swings, hot flashes, cloudy thinking, heavy menstrual periods , or other symptoms, treatment can help you get through this time more comfortably.
Treatment for menopause symptoms may include:
- Healthy lifestyle habits, including exercise, healthy eating, and quitting smoking. To learn more, see Home Treatment .
- Hormones and other medicines, such as antidepressants. To learn more, see Medications .
- Treatments such as black cohosh and soy. To learn more, see Other Treatment .
Home Treatment
A healthy lifestyle can help you manage menopause symptoms. It can also help lower your risk for heart disease, osteoporosis , and other long-term health problems.
- If you smoke, stop smoking to reduce hot flashes and long-term health risks.
- Exercise regularly to promote both physical and emotional health.
- Limit alcohol intake to reduce menopause symptoms and long-term health risks.
- Make healthy eating a priority. Cut back on simple sugars and caffeine, which can make menopause symptoms worse. You'll not only feel better but may also prevent long-term health problems.
- Pay attention to how the emotional side of menopause is affecting you. Have a support network, and seek help as needed.
- Make sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D . Eat foods that are rich in calcium, and take calcium and vitamin D supplements. This can help lower your risk of osteoporosis.
- Improve bladder control with regular Kegel exercises .
To manage hot flashes , try keeping your environment cool, dressing in layers, and managing stress.
To improve vaginal dryness and muscle tone , try using a vaginal lubricant and doing Kegel exercises regularly.
Medicines can help you cope with bothersome menopause symptoms. Some medicines contain hormones, and some don't.
Hormone therapy is sometimes used to treat menopause symptoms. But women who use it may have a higher risk of other health problems.
If your symptoms are the result of early menopause brought on by having your ovaries removed along with your uterus, you may consider estrogen therapy (ET). But ET may increase the risk of health problems in a small number of women.
Medicine choices
Hormone medicines
- Birth control pills regulate menstrual bleeding and can relieve symptoms until menopause. They aren't used after menopause.
- Progestin pills and the levonorgestrel IUD release a form of progesterone into the uterus. This reduces heavy, irregular menstrual periods. Some women have side effects.
- Low-dose vaginal estrogen (cream, tablet, or ring) reduces dryness and other tissue changes in and around the vagina.
- Hormone therapy (HT) in pill, patch, vaginal ring, gel, or cream form can be used to treat menopause symptoms. Experts recommend that HT only be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible period of time. 2
- Bioidentical hormones are made in a lab to be similar to human-produced hormones. But they aren't well researched and may carry the same health risks that traditional HT does. 3 Any form of hormone therapy is best taken for as short a time as possible.
- Estrogen therapy (ET) is used to prevent weakening bones and the severe symptoms that come with sudden, early menopause.
- Testosterone with estrogen is sometimes used for menopausal symptoms that don't improve with estrogen therapy. But it isn't FDA-approved, because its risks aren't yet fully known. Testosterone with estrogen carries the same risks as estrogen treatment (blood clots, stroke, breast cancer) as well as testosterone risks and side effects.
Short-term, low-dose HT or ET can be taken for up to 4 to 5 years, with regular checkups. This may work well for many women, who will find that their menopause symptoms have subsided within this period of time.
Non-hormone medicines
- Antidepressants can lower the number and severity of hot flashes. They may also help with irritability, depression, and moodiness.
- Clonidine , a high blood pressure medicine, can reduce the number and severity of hot flashes. 4 Some women have side effects related to low blood pressure.
- Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an antiseizure medicine. It can reduce the number and severity of hot flashes. 5 Possible side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, and swelling.
- Ospemifene (Osphena) is used to reduce vaginal changes that can make sex painful.
Other Treatment
Many women have turned to alternative medicine for menopause symptom relief. Before you try prescription medicines or hormones, you can think about using one or more of the following options for preventing or treating symptoms.
- Mind and body relaxation using breathing exercises. It may reduce hot flashes and emotional symptoms.
- Black cohosh (such as Remifemin) may prevent or relieve menopause symptoms. But the research on black cohosh has had mixed results.
- Soy may improve menopause symptoms. But studies have shown mixed results.
- Yoga (which often includes meditative breathing) and/or biofeedback gives you tools you can use to reduce stress. High stress is likely to make your symptoms worse.
Remember that dietary supplements aren't regulated the way medicines are. It's important to be careful when taking supplements . Tell your doctor what you are taking.
Treatments to avoid
Based on the latest research, some treatments aren't recommended, either because they don't work or because they can cause dangerous effects. 6 These include:
- Angelica.
- DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).
- Dong quai.
- Evening primrose.
- Kava.
- Wild yam or natural progesterone creams .

I'm pretty hamered right now, but that's fscking funny
It seems to be mostly older Intel drivers causing issues. Does everything work with the current git master?
The main reason they want to start using OpenGL2 is so they can port KWin to OpenGL ES and run on mobile devices. Sounds like FBOs are one of the main OpenGL3 features they'd like to use, but they will retain backwards compatible code for it. Other stuff like geometry shaders might be used in advanced effects only, or with alternative lower-quality backups in place.
I'm pretty hamered right now, but that's fscking funny
ATI have never released a GL2 GPU. Some GLSL features are not supported by hardware, the GL2 non-power-of-two textures are not supported at all. R300 up to R400 don't fully support separate stencil. NV30 has similar limitations (like separate blend equations are not supported).
Hi all
I am just a user who likes free.. I think this thread could be very valuable.
As for the discussion, I think blame-game is some usefull, but in this regard maybe it have done its task. Yes, drivers listed as support for feauture OGL2, should have support for OGL2, or be very clear on the exeptions. Also developers are responsable for their own software working, also KDE.
I am a user. I have KDE 4.5.1 on Ubuntu Lucid and free radeon driver for my hd3450(r600 series). I will like to thank all parties for outstanding work, because this is the most slick I have ever seen. Not perfect, but very very good. Do not forget the good things during the critics. . So opengl does not work for the desktop effects, but xrender works very well. I have a more responsive system than I ever had with unfree Catalyst.. I lack a bit speed in some games, but hey I can play Nexuiz with high resolution and low effects settings at good speed... I did go from Nvidia about a year ago to AMD because of these free drivers. Finally the free drivers are becomming usefull for me. I really want to upgrade to an Evergreen card, but waiting a bit for the drivers(or are they usefull yet with free drivers?)
Maybe KDE should have gone for older GL-spesifications, but they have not. I wonder if it really is much lacking for good support in GL2*. If current drivers are allmost there I think KDE are on track. Bugs can maybe be sorted out within few weeks. If we are talking about lot of lot coding maybe KDE should at least make a fallback option to older GL-spesifiction. Anyway it sounds like a idea good idea if it not takes too much work. Can anyone tell about the volume of these bugs(say for my very own radeon r600)??
Then the opening article prospects long long time before the free Linux stack is ready for full OpenGL 3. It sounds like a good idea to make good collabration on how to get there and priority of the features. Maybe Involving Xorg, Gnome, KDE, Blender(?), Nexuiz(?), other(?).
Also it is clear that manpower should be increased in driver development. I may suggest:
- More lobbying/meetings/speeches toward the card companies. They should know that free drivers are a good selling point, and will be ever more important as Linux booming in small consumer devices. We should get to the point were good free drivers are released with the new cards.
- Speeches and seminars at the top relevant universities for atracting young coders.
- Good/better documentation when major rewrite is ready. (In this thread major rewrite of code was argument for not putting effort in documentation right now)
- User petitions for more investments in free drivers from the big companies.
- Maybe bug reporting could be made more easy, for instance with a unified report system between big distros, desktop environments, and important parts like Xorg and Linux. Could we make people file more reports, better reports, and increase the flow of relevant reports between the communities.
Anyway. Big thanks for all the good work. I know I can not contribute a lot. I can not do much more than Hello World or a little snake game in c++/glut. Hope my post was a bit constructive.
Very constructive post, but bugs are not just errors reports or mistakes in the free software world. Dealing with GPU drivers is a very complex umdertaking. However with the new driver architecture things are a changing. For all graphics cards only one API needs to be made once. One API to rule them all. This architecture, called Gallium3D, makes sure that once a base driver works; every API works on that GPU. Writing a driver that works 100% correctly with all these API's, called State Trackers (State Machines), appears not to be easily done. The foundation for this architecture is so new that bugs can be realy severe ones.
I own an intel atom D510 with integrated GMA 3150 graphics.
- KDE 4.4 with composite and blur effect disabled work flawlessly!! totally smooth
- KDE 4.4 with default options works at 0.1 fps real *pain*
- KDE 4.5 composite can not been activated because driver is blacklisted ¿? WTF !!
I am sure KDE have their reasons to blame open source drivers. Anyway, a workarounds exists and if KDE has more testers and communication with community they should have implemented them until open source drivers totally support opengl 2.1.
KDE has failed in testing and communication.
You can disable function checks, you know that or not?
No, doesnt' work. I already tried. Opengl composite is totally disabled, at least on kde 4.5.1 ubuntu maverick. And it was working superb! on 4.4 once u disabled blur.
The solution seems pretty simple to me, disable blur on intel integrated drivers, and TA-DA ! it works, but KDE only test on nvidia hardware, pfff.
Well i would suggest to try Kanotix Hellfire then Ask in irc://irc.freenode.net/#kanotix .

text: Looking for some advice about trip to Hawaii next winter (Late December- Early January after Triple Crown). I'm looking to spend some time on the North Shore and on Maui. It'll be my first experience with reef breaks or signifigant surf travel off the East Coast. Any recommendations to areas/spots with a mellower less localized vibe where I can gain some experience in waves with a little reef break juice? Also reccomendations for a good step-up board (I won't be charging any huge waves though)? Also any recommendations for cool stuff to do other than surfing (I'm also into diving) in and out of the water? Thanks.

"Incredible book - Very well read"
I highly recommend this book. It will make you laugh and cry.
The story is about the challanges of publishing the stories about black maids in the South in the early 1960s. You feel the challanges these women went though in first telling their stories, then agreeing to have them published.
There were numerous narrators and they were great. They made the story.
Love this book. I'm looking forward to the movie.
"Same ol, Same ol"
Some unexpected twists and turns. Being pulled into the story.
This is clearly a book for people comfortable with Christianity, which I am. What is disappointing is how cliche the story and family became. Everyone down with big challenges and they get together to meet their challenges. Everyone is so larger then life as to be unbelievable.
Didn't really have one.
I'd make the characters less sappy and more human.
I thought the series might improve but it plays on the same template
Didn't like the book. I didn't see listening to it as time well spent. Not that humorous and didn't feel pulled in. Speaks about how good his life is and what his life was like growing up. Nothing really out of the ordinary except he excelled at theatre and acting.
No, I've listened to others there were entertaining and left you with a message.
I wouldn't buy the book and would not have listened to it. I gave it over 5 hours of listening and it couldn't pull me in.
No, such a movie would be as interesting as watching paint dry
Jon Stewart pumped it up on the the Daily Show. Wish it was as exciting to me as he says he found it.
"Liked E-Myth - this one was a disappointment"
I was disappointed in this book. The message came out in the main book
This book gives some great tips on where to go with a practice. The main consideration is avoiding hourly billing and suggestions how to do this. When speaking with clients, they would rather have a predictable fee, even if it's a bit higher.
The book tries to deal with lawyer's big egos by speaking down to them. Won't work. Those are the ones who won't read this book.
The narration was fine
Not applicable
I thought this would be a nuts and bolts book with examples and templates. Most the book was explaining the e-myth and why it applied to lawyers. Either the lawyer gets it or doesn't. No point it explaining.
"Can we control our lying?"
This book is incredibly thought- provoking! I love books that developer or change the way I see the world or my life. This book achieves that in a way that kept my attention. Because of that I see as a must listen to book. It is my favourite book at this moment. I now hove lots of books I think are the best I've listened to so it's hard to say its my favourite as it may be a lie.
I'm glad I bought it.
The narrator keeps the story moving. At the end of the book there are interviews conducted by the author. The author has a different accent.
This book makes you consider the subtleties of being truthful and honest and the many unconscious, reasons for dishonesty. The book shows how mass deception can be acceptable in organizations such as Enron and in our governments.
The author does many social experiments and many of the outcomes are counter-intuitive. Those findings were the most provocative part of the book.
I also enjoyed the end of the book where the author let us listen to interviews with others he collaborated with in the formulation of his findings expressed in the book.
"My Step Daughter Recommended It"
I'm over 50 and my 18 yr old step daughter recommended this book, both I think so that I would understand how she sees Christ and Christianity, and how I should consider it.It sat in my library for a year before I finally listened to it.It was a great book that hit right at my criticisms of church and Christianity. Churches have a challenge balancing their missions to serve and minister with maintenance and preservation. There are so many stories of pastors and church members sacrificing those they don't like so the church is a more comfortable place serving those who contribute financially or in other ways.Shane has the same concerns and addresses them in a non-judgmental and non-confrontational way.Shane talks about where he sees the churches should be; how ministering to the poor and downtrodden is one of the highest callings one can achieve, and how easy it is to lose site of this.In listening to this book I saw Christ in a more comfortable, more approachable way. His language was young and meant to appeal to youth, but I got over it.I enjoyed the read and recommend this book.
"Very Redneck though great insight on the Navy Seal"
This book speaks of what it is to be a Navy Seal on their elite team. It's told by someone who rose to the top and had to retire and go on to a second career due to injuries. Very heartfelt book. Enjoyed it very much.
"Not a Love Story though very practical"
This book speaks to the practicalities of marriage - from the viewpoint of someone who has seen very disappointing marriages in generations of her family.
Looks at the flaws of marriage and how Ann ended up in second marriage by default, when she was in fact trying to never get re-married.
The book is well read. It kept me interested.
The theme of the book is the most important thing about marriage is does the relationship make you both a better person.
Listened to this book while planning a second marriage. Nothing is sugar coated. Sets out things one should think about before taking this big step.
"The most outlandish comspiracy theories look tame"
A real example of where truth is more facinating then fiction.
Annie Jacobsen is an incredible narrator. The content is facinating. Very informative. At times makes you angry. Her books is so well documented, and where she extrapolates, her conclusions really make sense.
She takes you to where the further question marks are.
"Surprisingly Excellent"
I got this book as I like the narrator and it had so many great reviews. This book makes you think of the relationship between humans and nature - and in particular plants - in a whole different way. Johnny Appleseed is explained with many fascinating facts about apples and apple trees.
Apples, Tulips, Marijuana and Potatoes are talked about and explained. I found the discussion on potatoes would be the most provocative. The book allows you to better understand the blight,why genetic engineering of foods is gaining a foothold, and the challenges of organic farming.
Well worth the listen!

He was magnificent with us, though his last season was horrible to watch. He was on a big wage and they seemed to make him play no matter how injured he was, it was a bit ridiculous at times. He is possibly my favourite player from that era, either him or big Jimmy Pick. McKenzie made one pass that I remember even now, running left to right he twisted all the way round left to right and put a man through a gap on his right. It was an incredible pass.

Happy days
Posted 31 July 2010 - 11:07 PM
Yeah and that was after we were bottom at christmas with only 6 points. We then beat Halifax in early January and went on to win 10 of our final 14 league games.
Posted 01 August 2010 - 01:42 AM
6? drew 4-4 with cas before xmas in the game the ref confused jimmy pickering with lee crooks and didn't play advantage when he was through to score.
Posted 01 August 2010 - 08:41 AM
I remember that, it was ridiculous. How he confused jimmy for a cas player even though he was charging towards the line i`ll never know. We had a great run that season, we nilled and battered 3 or 4 teams at home and it all began after we mullered Fax live on sky.
Posted 01 August 2010 - 09:28 AM
Yes you're right, we had 5 points at Xmas not 6 - we'd beaten Doncaster and Hull and drew with Cas.
Posted 01 August 2010 - 09:35 AM
Can you remember which teams it was we nilled at DP? I remember one being Bradford.
