there are enough reasons to say that AMD/ATI users are masochists, and enough reasons to say that NVIDIA users are just smarter.
Phoronix: Using HDMI Audio/Video On Linux
The last time we looked in-depth at HDMI support on Linux was last December when talking about HDMI with the ATI Catalyst Linux driver. Since then there has been improvements in a number of drivers for different hardware. In this article we have a brief overview on the status of HDMI support in the Intel, NVIDIA, and ATI Linux drivers.
there are enough reasons to say that AMD/ATI users are masochists, and enough reasons to say that NVIDIA users are just smarter.
you are wrong, I'm an ATI user and have always been an ATI user. The only reason I use ATI cards is because they cost less.
so no, fanboy isn't a word that belongs to me. But what I know is that for 1 NVIDIA issue, there are 20 ATI issues. if you want to discuss about this then you'de better open your eyes and accept reality.
From the Ars Technica link, you can see HDMI and audio are not quite perfect on the Windows side either.
At times I've been both ATI's worst critic and their biggest supporter. I've been sorely disappointed by the 690G on-board chipset and lowered expectations for their 790GX. Right now all my testing has been suspended with all versions of Linux as my arena is strictly HTPC. Until I can drop in a DVD and have it play tear free in 1920x1080, all my testing is blocked.To play protected audio has been a bit more difficult until very recently, as no current video or sound card (no matter which hardware it has) supports the Protected Audio Path needed to get compressed multichannel audio (Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA) from your Blu-ray to your speakers via HDMI. The fix, as Anandtech and others discovered, is to let your HTPC decompress the multichannel audio, and send it over HDMI as uncompressed 8-channel LPCM. The hangup then became that hardware did not incorporate enough bandwidth to accommodate uncompressed 8-channel audio over HDMI, or if it did, the drivers or something else didn't work.
Redemption (or at least a workable fix) finally arrived in summer, 2008. AMD's Radeon HD 4000-series graphics cards, NVIDIA's GeForce 8200/8300 chipset, and Intel's G45 chipset all support 8-channel LPCM and actually work. Technically, Intel's G965 and G35 chipsets also support 8-channel LPCM, but the drivers never made it a pleasant experience.
I'd hoped for this at Christmas last year and once again I am hoping for another Christmas miracle. But I won't be crushed this time.
Is there a way to disable ATI HDMI? I got 3 devices in phonon, one for pulseaudio, one for my real sound card and one for ATI HDMI... The first one isn't used, the second sometimes dies and it's going a bit on my nerves to see phonon fall back to an unused (and thus non-functional) ATI HDMI port...
Hah, I played around with HDMI audio so much, the only thing I haven't tried is create my own driver. I figured my cable was not working.
I'm an AMD fanboy and I really like the hardware. But without free drivers that support 2D/3D/Video acceleration and sound the best hardware is simply useless.

thanks for posting the follow-up, that was the right thing to do.
Phoronix: Nouveau Developments: KMS, Suspend & Resume
Yesterday there was a news article on Phoronix entitled What's Up With RadeonHD and Nouveau? As was mentioned in that article, not a lot of news has come out of either X.Org project in recent months nor any driver releases (except that changed for RadeonHD yesterday afternoon) and users have started to wonder about the project's status. Never once did we imply that the Nouveau driver was dead, but that it was "not accelerating as fast as some would like." Nouveau's Ben Skeggs though felt differently and has now written a blog post detailing some of the recent developments for this open-source NVIDIA driver. Since the release of Fedora 11 (early June), the Nouveau driver has matured with its kernel mode-setting, support for G80 series kernel mode-setting, improvements to its NVIDIA video BIOS reading abilities, a new method for submitting commands to the display engine (display push buffer), tiled scan-out, and suspend-and-resume support with Nouveau KMS...
thanks for posting the follow-up, that was the right thing to do.
I never got the impression that Nouveau development was dead. IMO, the Phoronix post was well timed. I had notice that we haven't heard much from the Nouveau camp. Luckily, Phoronix makes a post and got them to speak.
The issue is that all the people still actively developing nouveau are doing just that; figuring things out, and writing code. The TiNDC's used to be written by a nouveau user who generously donated their time to go through IRC logs, and commits, and turn that into something that made a nice, informative read.
I'm going to try and keep blogging when something interesting happens, but most of the time it's "ok, done, onto the next thing!".
on aside, you mentioned Wanda got killed? is that under Ultimates 3 written by Jeph Loeb? i heard the franchise went to sht when he took over so havent bothered reading it any more

Tanaka, Hammel set to face off on Robinson Day
Righties will be on hill Tuesday to start Interleague series in New York
The firsts are out of the way now for Masahiro Tanaka, who has both his Major League debut and his Yankee Stadium debut in the rearview mirror. The touted right-hander hopes that means his comfort level will only continue to grow from here on out.
Tanaka will make his third big league start on Tuesday, welcoming the Cubs to the Bronx as the two clubs kick off an abbreviated two-game Interleague series on Jackie Robinson Day. Tanaka's starts will always be an event, but now that they are becoming more normal, the 25-year-old has a little bit of experience to draw upon.
"If you look at the first two starts, the beginning of the game, I'm missing my spots and giving up runs," Tanaka said through an interpreter. "I need to make my adjustments, try not to do that. Try to keep the damage to a minimum -- or no damage at all -- at the beginning of the game."
The Cubs will give the ball to Jason Hammel, who is well-versed in the Yankees, having faced them 17 times while pitching for the Rays and Orioles. He's pitched at both old and new Yankee Stadium, too.
"They're a perennial powerhouse and find a way to win, and the organization is committed to their players. That's how they do it," Hammel said. "That being said, there's still a way to beat them. I've faced them many times and had some success. You just have to keep the ball down there."
That's a lesson that Tanaka learned in his last start. The only three runs that Tanaka gave up to the Orioles came on a Jonathan Schoop three-run homer that was launched down the left-field line, responsible for handing Tanaka a no-decision.
"I pride myself on not giving in after giving up runs," Tanaka said. "From the time when I was in Japan, I would always think that if I gave up a run, I would think to myself that I'm not going to give up any more runs. That's what I would always try to remind myself."
Tanaka's early performance has touched upon some franchise history. He is just the second Yankees pitcher in history to strike out at least eight batters in his first two Major League starts, joining Allen Russell of the 1915 club.
"He's adjusted really well so far, for me," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He's handled the situation pretty well. I'm sure I'll learn more as time goes on, but it's pretty much what I expected, I think."
This series will mark the Cubs' first regular-season games at new Yankee Stadium, the 122nd different ballpark in which the team will have played. After Tuesday, the Cubs will have played a regular-season game in every current Major League city, and a game in every active ballpark.
The Cubs did play the first two games in the history of new Yankee Stadium, however, when the teams met in exhibition action prior to 2009. The Yankees won both games.
"It's one of those bucket list-type places," Hammel said. "Yankee Stadium, it's an eye opener and so much fun to be there." "
Cubs: No. 42 holds special meaning for multiple reasons
The Cubs will wear No. 42 on Tuesday in honor of Jackie Robinson Day, but doing so will have a double meaning for some players. Mariano Rivera was the last player to wear No. 42, retiring from the Yankees at the end of last season.
"He's one of the best people you can ever meet," said Jose Veras, who was Rivera's teammate. "I learned a lot of things from him -- how to be successful, be prepared. He's one of the best people you can ever meet in baseball. You can take a lot of positive things from him."
Veras can use some positive reinforcement. He is no longer the Cubs' closer after a rough four games, and manager Rick Renteria said he will go with matchups in save situations. The candidates include Pedro Strop, Blake Parker, Hector Rondon and Justin Grimm.
"They give me various options," Renteria said. "You still have to put them in situations where they feel comfortable."
Strop and Rondon each have a save in the first 11 games. Last April, the Cubs had three different pitchers record a save in April for the first time since the save became an official MLB statistic in 1969.
Yankees: Mandela to be honored with plaque on Robinson Day
The Yankees announced that they will unveil a plaque to honor Nelson Mandela on Tuesday afternoon, coinciding with the annual celebration of Jackie Robinson Day by Major League Baseball.
Mandela's grandson, Zondwa Mandela, will be present at the stadium, and the Yankees said that South African Consul General George Monyemangene and Nelson Mandela Foundation CEO Sello Hatang will also attend
The Yankees announced their plans for the Mandela plaque last December. The plaque will celebrate the life of the former South African leader and commemorate his June 21, 1990, visit to Yankee Stadium.
Following a day of meeting and addressing New Yorkers in various locations around the city, Mandela arrived at Yankee Stadium and spoke to the assembled crowd, then donned a Yankees cap and jacket before declaring, "You know who I am. I am a Yankee."
Worth noting
• Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran had three hits, including a two-run homer, in Sunday night's win over Boston. Beltran played first base after an injury to Francisco Cervelli.
• Cervelli (right hamstring) is likely headed to the DL. Brian McCann is day to day with a bruised right hand, but said following Sunday night's game that he was "fine."
• The Cubs restocked the bullpen on Sunday when they recalled Blake Parker from Triple-A Iowa.

Improve Reading Comprehension with These Tips
Reading comprehension worksheets are key tools for helping your child understand a book or text. Supplement our reading comprehension worksheets by reading books with your child and doing these simple comprehension exercises:
- Start with pre-reading engagement. Look at the book cover with your child and make predictions about the subject of the book based on the title and picture. If you're reading "Hansel and Gretel," you might say, "I see that the title of this book is 'Hansel and Gretel.' I also see a boy and a girl on the front cover. I predict that this book will be about Hansel, a boy, and Gretel, a girl." Older children can be prompted to make their own predictions.
- Ask questions as you read with your child. You can ask your child how you think a character feels based on his picture or words in the text. You might also point out surprising things in the pictures. Kids also love making preditions mid-story; ask your child, "What do you think will happen next?"
- After you've finished a book, have a short discussion about what you've read. You can ask your child to summarize the story, or tell you his favorite part, or tell you what he thinks will happen to the characters after the book ends.
- Encourage your child to complete reading comprehension worksheets regularly. There are perfect post-story reading comprehension worksheets, including story maps, 'fan fiction' writing prompts, and comprehension bookmarks. You can also try printing reading comprehension worksheets with stories and exercises together.

As a semi-avid Kickstarter backer, I wanted to stay on top of my pledges. Both those I am pending to pay, and those I am awaiting delivery of... So obviously I am down to my favorite Task Manager to help me remember!!!First, all items end up tagged as #kickstarter on my list. Then to help me decide between funding and delivery, I tag the same entries either #funded to determine that I want to fund them; or then deliver with the estimated delivery date to mark down when I should expect them to be delivered. Obviously, not all Kickstarters deliver on time, but at least this way you know when to expect them at the mailbox!Good Luck and Happy Funding!

Tanner honored, Dantzler stars for South CarolinaCOLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — LB Dantzler homered and drove in two runs, and South Carolina made coach Chad Holbrook's debut a success with a 4-3 victory over Liberty on Friday. The Gamecocks won their season opener for the 22nd time in 23 years. It followed a rousing pre-game tribute to former coach and current athletic director Ray Tanner. It was the first time since the 1997 season Tanner hadn't been in the dugout. His No. 1 jersey was retired and the street in front of Carolina Stadium was renamed "Tanner Way. Tanner led the Gamecocks to College World Series championships in 2010 and 2011. Dantzler put the Gamecocks up for good with a solo homer in the second. He added a RBI sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. |

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Kishwaukee is great for students that like the small classroom environment or for students that do not know what they want to do but know they want to go to college. Kishwaukee is a good start. Students who cannot afford to go to a four year school right away should also consider Kishwaukee.
Tips for prospective students One tip I have for prospective students is, get in there and sign up for your classes right away because the fill up fast. Also make sure you pay attention to what you need to graduate in 2 years and take the right classes. You should also pay attention to what transfers to universities.
Bang for the buck If you want to take your general education classes for a cheaper price than that of a university Kishwaukee is the place to do it. My two years of school at Kish are going to end up costing all together what one semester at a university would cost.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy being a Kishwaukee because of the small feel and the comfortable environment.
Am learning a lot I feel that I am learning a lot at Kishwaukee College because the class sizes are small and the teachers get to know the students individually.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Kish is great for students who want to stay close to home, actually learn something from people who actually want to teach, and want to save tremendous amounts of money. The campus itself is pretty enjoyable with lots of free activities and things in the main lobby most of the time.
Tips for prospective students I encourage you to take classes that interest you in addition to just those that fill your required slots. You might not have another opportunity to take classes you like at this kind of price. Doing this also gives you a chance to become more well rounded and might even strengthen your resolve to be in a certain field or even change it dramatically.
Bang for the buck It's simple: Kish is a community college. There's no dorm to pay for and its inherently cheaper because it is a community college. Tuition itself can be paid for by a few scholarships and it saved me personally $27,000 a year ($50,000+ total!) to avoid a private university and in this case, you get more than what you pay for.
Am enjoying being here I really do enjoy it here. The cafeteria is pretty good for a small college, the teachers, again, make your experience not as big of a pain, and you get to stay close to home and that's not as bad as most people make it out to be.
Am learning a lot All the classes I'm taking are doing a great job at giving me critical information. The teachers here are extremely smart. I would strongly recommend Mrs. Anderson for anything she teaches in chemistry and Dr. Thomas for any of his philosophy/ethics courses. I have had an amazing time with both of these instructors for almost an entire year now and plan on taking more of what they have to offer.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Kishwaukee College is great if you're unsure about what you want to do or where you want to go. It will save you a lot of money and give you time to figure everything out.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you sign up for classes early. I would recommend meeting with a counselor to do this instead of just picking classes online.
Bang for the buck I got a few scholarships so Kishwaukee is basically paying me to go there. I'm transferring next fall so this will help a lot with tuition costs at the 4-year university I transfer to.
Am enjoying being here It's tough staying behind and going to a community college while all of your friends go away to school. Plus, Kishwaukee College is basically in a corn field and there is really nothing to do.
Am learning a lot I have a few instructors who, honestly, have no idea what they're talking about. It's not like this for every class, there are some very qualified and knowledgeable professionals here, but it's kind of hit or miss.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities There are tons of clubs and activities students could do in their spare time and to really help their community.
What to do for fun Kish has game rooms and a television room where you can hang out with friends while waiting for your next class or just to hang out.
Food and Dining The food is good but too greasy for my taste.
Tips for prospective students A good tip is to actually go to the classes you payed for. Attendance is part of your grade and if you don't show up then you not only don't learn anything but your grade is slowly depleting.
In three sentences I love this college! All the classes are easy to find and registration is a breeze! Not only that but all the teachers are professional and very helpful.

Categories Comments Campus Safety campus safety is excellent. after the shooting at the niu campus a few years back, kishwaukee safety procedures increased greatly. every classroom has clearly listed emergency procedures, it rarely takes more than a minute or two to find a police officer patrolling the campus, and the response to calls to campus security is very quick.
Greek Life as far as i know, there are only a few fraternities and sororities with an active presence of the campus. kishwaukee is a small community college, so there isn't much presence of the traditional greek life until you've moved on to one of the other colleges after finishing your time here.
Clubs and Activities the variety of clubs is okay. mostly down to equality or ethnic clubs that meet and organize various events. there are a few others such as computer clubs, and the variety of sports on offer is decent, but for the most part clubs aren't a huge part of campus life outside of a small subset of people.
Great for these types of students almost anyone who wants to get a two year degree such as an associates or transfer to a four year school. it's a great place to do all your gen. eds before moving up to somewhere else, and compared to some other local colleges a couple years here would be thousands of dollars cheaper.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus nothing in particular comes to mind, though i'm not personally involved in the campus culture very much.
Bang for the buck kishwaukee is incredibly cheap for the quality of its education. even just a standard pell grant will probably cover your entire tuition even if you're taking fifteen hours of courses. the value is absolutely incredible.
What to do for fun the game room and tv room are of modest size, but they're about all that's needed for a college this size. the various lobbies littered about all have wi-fi access and students can often be seen just hanging out and chatting between classes.
Food and Dining for its size, the dining is pretty good. the cafeteria is hardly all-encompassing or broadly multicultural, but it serves various tasty staples at decent prices. there's a current construction project underway to add a new cafe.
Dorm Life there is no dormitory at kishwaukee college.
Academic Rigor with only one exception, every teacher i've had at kish has been simply wonderful. they're genuinely interested in getting the students to learn so they're prepared for life moving forward, and with such small class sizes they usually have time for every student. the quality of the education is the last thing that could be questioned about kish.
Tips for prospective students explore the college a bit before your first class. a lot of people on the first day even in such a small place show up for their first classes late which is pretty annoying. there are no big lecture halls, so a late student often knocks on the door and disrupts class to be let in.
In three sentences small classes and friendly teachers contribute a lot to the positive atmosphere of the college. the variety offered varies quite a bit, with some courses like nursing and engineering being quite popular, while others like logic fall by the wayside. all in all it's a pretty good college for its size.

Food and Dining the food is nothing special, but the sandwiches taste good and are at a fare price. the cookies are also fabulous if you ever feel like a treat.
Academic Rigor the majority of the teachers are very flexible and understanding. they still expect you to have your work done and arrive in class in a timely manner. they are very easy to talk to and get a hold of.

Categories Comments Campus Safety kishwaukee takes safety seriously and there are always cops walking around on the campus and blue lights in the parking lot. they warn students not to walk alone to their cars and at night if a student needs to go to their car and feel uncomfortable there are escorts available.
Clubs and Activities many great clubs, teams and activities available. i myself am a member of the softball team, future educators of america, and phi theta kappa and these are only a few of the many offered. athletes are well respected in the school and are often very close with the other teams.
Bang for the buck kishwaukee college is a relativity cheap school and i got a lot out of it. great for getting my associate's out of the way and saving thousands of dollars.
Food and Dining food i would not rank very high, not because it is not good or you do not get a lot but because they only accept cash. if they would branch out to debit or credit cards i feel like they would make more money in the food area.
Dorm Life there are no dorms on kishwaukee college but you can get an apartment or dorm on the campus of norther illinois university. i lived at home about 15 minutes away.
Academic Rigor i have learned a lot from kishwaukee and it was a great first step for me into the life of a college student. i love the one on one time that teachers can give their students and you are not just another number at kish but a student with a name.
Tips for prospective students stay focused when it comes to your studies, kishwaukee is just like any other school and if you don't knuckle down you will not get as much that you could take from there.
In three sentences kishwaukee is a small but great school. if a student really dedicates him/herself then kishwaukee college has a lot to offer. there are also many different clubs, teams, and groups that are offered to join.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Attending school events is a good way to get involved. Also join some type of club or work with the school paper.
Food and Dining There is a small cafeteria which has a variety of choices. The food is pretty good.
Dorm Life Kishwaukee College does not have dorms. So there is really nothing to say here.
Academic Rigor Academically the school is well balanced and offers many different classes at different times to fit an individual's schedule.
Tips for prospective students Do not go into the school aiming to finish as quick as possible. Take your time. Do not frustrate yourself by taking more classes than you can handle just so you can finish.
In three sentences Kishwaukee College is a great school for someone who is not fully ready to attend a larger University. It is also a great way for someone who does not know what they want their major to be to get their general requirements done and test out different classes to see what you like. The instructors usually make themselves available for their students whenever they need help.

Food and Dining Kishwaukee has the best burgers i have ever tasted. Try a cheeseburger with bacon.
Academic Rigor Excellent
Tips for prospective students Go straight to class and try not to make many friends. Or else you will be one of those students hanging in the hall way.
In three sentences Kishwaukee is a very friendly and supportive school. Its a small environment where as you wont fell like no one knows you. The only downfall of being a student at Kishwaukee College is the students like to hang in the hallways and be loud as if they were back in High School.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are always on-campus police every day I attend class, which makes me feel very safe.
Clubs and Activities Although Kishwaukee College offers clubs, it seems the attendance rate is low and sometimes unreliable.
Great for these types of students Great for the student who is looking for an affordable option for attending college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The B Wing commons is much quieter when trying to get work done- a must if you enjoy the quiet!
Bang for the buck This is definitely MUCH more cheaper than taking gen-eds at NIU and in my opinion, is a much smarter decision financially.
What to do for fun In the main atrium, there seems to be several different activities and things to do weekly. They also offer free food at times, and I know at least once a year they offer a mini competition for free credit hours.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is beginning to offer healthier options which is appreciated by many, and it is also a great place to sit down and do some last minute studying before an exam.
Academic Rigor The teachers at Kishwaukee College tend to be a hit or miss type of experience. It is at this college that I have experienced both the best and worst teachers of my life, therefore I am somewhat on the fence for this section of reviewing.
Tips for prospective students Attending class is a must. This sounds like common sense, however you would/will be surprised at how many students simply do not show up to the classes they sign up for. Many teachers say they do not take attendance, however, showing up every day makes a good impression on them and usually works out in your favor in the end.
In three sentences Kishwaukee College is a great source of education for the student who: a) is looking for a more affordable way to approach attaining an education, and b) who isn't quite sure what major they would like to choose. My favorite part about attending this school is the payment plan they offer-a lot of community colleges do not offer this, and it is extremely important to me since I am paying out of pocket for my own schooling. All in all, you get what you put in to this school-as long as you try, you will succeed.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The food prepared at Kishwaukee college looks appealing; however, due to my limited financial ability, I haven't been able to compare the taste with the appearance of the food.
Dorm Life Kishwaukee college does not have on-campus housing. They should, however, think about investing in that. Campus life is great, though.
Academic Rigor The course-work of the classes is challenging; however, it is not over-whelming. After all, you should finish the class with more than just the credit for being in the class. All things of value comes with a level of effort and sacrifice.
In three sentences It is a very diverse school that enables you to further your education while building character in the many available social settings. It is a place where your desires and dreams may become reality. It is a great school for anyone who has struggled before, in any part of academic success, because of the many resources and opportunities available for those who seek them.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Kishwaukee rarely has any crime related incidents, but we have had a couple inevitable ones.
What to do for fun Hanging out with friends is probably the most fun thing to do here.
Food and Dining The food is convenient for students who have to stay at Kishwaukee all day and it is fairly priced.
Academic Rigor I would say it completely depends on the class. 3/5 does not by any way necessarily mean bad. I have had classes that are very straightforward while other classes require intense studying and rigorous tests.
Tips for prospective students I would recommend to students that they should ask other students about classes before hand in order to learn what types of classes sound more interesting to them.
In three sentences Kishwaukee College is an excellent stepping stone into the college world. I enjoy most of my classes and currently have a high GPA. Kishwaukee College is a great way to complete the general education courses required for any degree.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Kishwaukee College is a very safe campus. The parking lots are not very large yet there are several emergency call buttons located throughout the parking lots. There are also several county and town police who make their rounds through the school everyday. I have been going to Kishwaukee College for almost 2 years and a day has not gone by that I have not seen a cop strolling the halls. Kishwaukee College has great emergency plans for any type of emergency that could occur and all students and staff are very aware of protocols. This makes for a very safe environment.
Great for these types of students Kishwaukee College is a great school for students who are not quite ready for a university setting or students who are trying to get their gen-eds out of the way at a more affordable rate without sacrificing quality education. Kishwaukee College also has many older adults who are either returning to school or beginning their education later in life. Because there is a large number of these non-traditional students, older people do not have to feel awkward while attending college.
Bang for the buck Kishwaukee College is great for its price. They have a nice, clean campus inside and out and a lot of options for classes. They also offer on-line classes. Printing and computer use is included with tuition which is nice because many colleges and universities charge extra to print. There is free wi-fi located throughout campus. The library also has many useful tools for research, all free with tuition.
What to do for fun As far at Kishwaukee College itself, get involved with clubs and organizations if you want to have fun. These clubs plan events on campus as well as volunteer opportunities off campus. However, Malta is a small rural town where there is not much in terms of entertainment. Dekalb is only about 6 miles east where NIU is located. There are many restaurants, some shopping, and a movie theater. The good news is that Kishwaukee College is only 65 miles west of Chicago so that makes for good weekend fun.
Food and Dining The Kish Cafe is great for variety of foods. It is in a brand new location of the school that just opened this year. There is a sub bar, salad bar, wrap bar, a grille, and a coffee shop. It is very affordable but the hours are slightly inconvenient. They close early in the afternoon most days.
Dorm Life Kishwaukee College is a community college and does not offer on-campus housing. Many of the students either live at home or are in an apartment or house. However, because the college is very close to Northern Illinois University, many students are enrolled at both schools and do live in the dorms. There are also private dorms in DeKalb, about 6 miles from Kishwaukee College campus that people can live in.
Academic Rigor Kishwaukee College is a great school as a transition from high school to college. It is definitely not high school and is definitely not a university. Most of the instructors understand that many of the students are there to better prepare themselves for a university and are therefore, very available for help and questions. Most of the classes I have taken are 3 credit hour classes that require between 2 and 5 hours of outside work per week. However, watch out for the science department. Kishwaukee College prides itself on having a great nursing program and many of the science classes tend to be treated as a weed-out class for the nursing program. Plan to spend extra time, effort, and studying for many of the sciences, especially biology courses. They are very thorough and beneficial but they can be tough.
Tips for prospective students Be careful your first semester! Do not jump in over your head. College is a big change and it is best to go into it and give yourself time to adjust. This is from personal experience! Also, ask questions!! Everybody is there to help you and is completely willing. Often times, you will learn more than you were expecting just by asking a simple question. Also, get involved. There are many clubs and organizations that will provide you with a little bit of an outlet from the stress of school.
In three sentences Kishwaukee College has continuously exceeded my expectations throughout the entire time I have been enrolled. The staff and instructors have been helpful with every aspect of my college career. I am graduating in May and will miss this school very much!

Academic Rigor Depending on the classes you sign up for, it can actually be more challenging that you probably anticipated.
Tips for prospective students Although Kishwaukee is a community college, do not take that as a reason to sit back and carry on with lazy habits. It's easy to do minimal work, but that will also affect your G.P.A. Keep your grades up, put in a little effort, and you'll be fine.
In three sentences Like most schools, Kishwaukee College has both some great and not-so-great professors. Overall, I've had a great experience at Kishwaukee, and it proved to be a good transition between high school and college. With help from counselors and teachers, I've been kept on track with my schooling goals.

Tips for prospective students Get a locker from media services, they help. Don't wait till last minute to get your required books and stuff. Think about a digital recorder to get lectures recorded, it's nice to go back over a lecture again when studying.
In three sentences Campus is clean, modern, and comfortable. The cafeteria has a good healthy menu, and the food is great. My teachers care, and that's the most important fact.

Dorm Life There are no dorms here! It's a community college, duh.
Academic Rigor Not very hard, most of the time it's like teachers make it as easy as possible for you to pass, especially the gen eds for kish.
Tips for prospective students It's a small college, and people are pretty friendly, though most keep to themselves. I've found myself really liking my teachers, and a lot of them keep classes pretty informal.
In three sentences So far, I think Kishwaukee is a pretty good school, but as a transition. The education is too easy sometimes, and most of the teachers are okay, though they could be better. Always beware with community colleges, because it's really easy for people to get comfortable in them, which isn't good since this is supposed to be more of a transition step.

Phoronix: Making More Informed Linux Hardware Choices
Matthew Tippett and I talked this weekend at the Southern California Linux Expo on the matter of making more informed Linux hardware choices. While Linux hardware support has come along way, it is not perfect and there are still shortcomings. However, with Phoronix Test Suite 3.0 and OpenBenchmarking.org, which were released in Los Angeles, we believe there are now the capabilities to dramatically enhance the Linux hardware and software experience. These freely available tools are not only a game-changer for Linux, but have the capabilities to impact how projects and organizations handle their Windows, Mac OS X, BSD, and Solaris testing as well.

This is a very nice tool, ready to fill in a big void.
However, maybe I need some guidance in understanding the difference between two graphs linked to here - http://img16.imageshack.us/i/sqlitevsapache.gif
The first graph in the linked picture is sqlite 3.7.3 and the second is apache 2.2.17, but the two graphs graphs do not really make sense to me when looked at together. The difference between "20gb partion" and "normal" and the others in the sqlite graph is not replicated in the apache graph. The change in performance is more than ten-fold. Is there a simple reason for this?
One thing that I cringe at when I see talk about hardware support in linux is the "most hardware works out of the box". It seems that the term "works" is on a different playing field then it is on the big mainstream OS's. All to often "works" when talking about hardware in linux means "base functionality only". A perfect example of this is sound cards. Take the x-fi driver for example, it "works" but offers nothing really then what any other on board sound solution. No real DSP functionality or even proper passthru capability let alone something as exotic as MIDI functionality, EAX, etc. Same goes with many other devices such as printers, motherboard features, tv cards, video cards, bluetooth devices, wireless, etc. The sad part is that most of those "extra features" will never be available on linux because of patents, licenses and it's reluctance to accommodate binary solutions could make those features available.
I think this is a great project, thanks a lot for realizing it.
I think Linux Foundation should support OpenBenchmarking.ORG strongly, it's a very good Linux promoter and can lead to improve the hardware support in the future.
I hope those future plans get ready soon and axceed the initial goals.
Also, I would like to see Phoronix/PTS/Phoromatic to look into other stuff you mentioned and more into that. Maybe you would need a bit bigger staff or assistance from the Linux ecosystem (companies, foundations) to make it full of diversity...
- Printers (mentioned): Currently a gray situation. While CUPS exists, it's owned by Apple Inc. and not all drivers get open-source of some of them has exclusive features in the propietary version for MacOS X. Also, Linux configuration seems to be not so easy.
- Scanners (a very weak point, SANE project needs more fuel and being Foundation backed. Lots of very interesting scanners useschip controllers from taiwanese/chinese companies has technical documentation available and nobody does the driver). Use of SANE for desktop environments is also not so good, lacking proper integration with some desktop environments in terms of usability and easy configuration.
- Sound cards: As mentioned, there are support but it degree in quality and features. There are a few proffessional ones good supported by Linux, like the RME products.
- RAID/SAS controllers
- Network controllers: IEEE 802.11 (aka WiFi), IEEE 802.16 (aka WiMax), 802.3 (Ethernet standards)...
- Different bus controllers, meant for specific proffessional targets (electronics, embedded software development, scientific research...)
- Etc.
Thanks, I am glad lots of people are enjoying it.
A lot more should hopefully be coming soon...
For reference, where OpenBenchmarking.org is at right now, work on that code-base only began in August. Granted, it leverages a lot of code from PTS, Cekora, and Phoromatic, but OB/PTS3 came together quite quickly seeing as it's just been about five solid months (minus about three weeks for Oktoberfest and a few other days) and writing it all myself at I'd say averaging 50~60 hours per week on that code. So with that base in place and coming together quite quickly, much more should be possible soon.

YMMD.5. Hope for a good return policy.
I hope we won't have to do that more often in the future. But besides some VIA GPU stuff I rarely had to complain after I did extensive and loooong research before I bought anything.
Still a database where you find stuff would be nice. Especially when you can see if it uses binary blobs or free drivers. Virtual build a system sounds nice, too, if one is going to set up a completely new system. Though I guess in the field of mobile computers it needs a different solution. Sadly notebook models change quickly and you rarely know which chips they actually use. E.g. people trusted intel graphics to work and then fell into the poulso trap.
I admit, at first I didn't see the light. Just didn't see it.
Yes, Matthew, this is indeed bigger than Phoronix.
And it's a great, great thing. Go OBO, go!!!

Hm, I have no clue about Half Life itself, but this list sounds a lot like just mods for HL. Not that it's bad, but if it really is the case, then the article title isn't quite correct.
Phoronix: Valve Releases Several New Linux Game Ports
For those hoping to do some gaming over Easter weekend, Valve has released five new games that have been ported to Linux...
Hm, I have no clue about Half Life itself, but this list sounds a lot like just mods for HL. Not that it's bad, but if it really is the case, then the article title isn't quite correct.
Well, both yes and no. Blue Shift and Opposing Force are stand alone single player games that tell the Half-Life story from other perspectives.
This was basically a dump of the remaining GoldSrc titles I think, so now all that is left are the modern Source titles. I would really like to play Blue Shift and Opposing forces, though I really don't want to pay $5 a pop for such old titles. Going to have to hold out for a Half-Life franchise sale which they seem pretty stingy with lately. Last one I think was a flash sales I missed during the winter holiday sale. I've seen the L4D series go up for sale at least twice since the holidays and I think the Counter-Strike games have been up a few times as well, but other than a sale on the original Half-Life a week or two after the Linux release I haven't seen any of the other Half-Life titles on sale.
It really is about sending the message to the publishers: get *all* your steam games on linux.
I think it's a great message (hello? id software? all your games apart from rage are already on linux... just put them on steam...).
And revisiting cs and hl is pretty nice too!
I'm pretty stingy when it comes to software, but I don't think slightly more than a good cup of coffee is really asking too much for these titles, even if they are fairly old. I mean, how much less would it take you to buy them? $2? If you would "really like to play" them, I'm not sure waiting around to save a couple of bucks is worth it. Not preaching, just sayin!
Hehe, it is a slippery slope. I already bought the Original Half-Life the day it went beta on Linux for $10, which is about what the Half-Life Complete Pack goes for when it is on sale. So even now just waiting till the next pack sale I will still have paid twice what was strictly necessary. If I spend another $10 now.... You see where this is going.
Yes! Thank you very much Valve!
I have recently decided to play through all the older HL series' games,
unfortunately having finished Half Life 1 on Windows a couple days before it was
ported to Linux (I never expected them to lol). Now I can finish Opposing Force
and Blue Shift on Linux however =) And hopefully HL² + Episodes will be playable
soon too.
The reason I'm so happy these titles got ported though is that AFAIK,
both Blue shift and Opposing Force were developed outside Valve (correct me if
I'm wrong?) and therefore never expected them to be ported.
They don't even show up on Vavle's game catalog
By the way, when I bought my physical Half Life copy back then (this was so long
ago, Steam wasn't even a store yet), I got all spin offs (all the listed titles in the
article + CS + DoD) for free as well. Seeing each individual of those titles actually
costs like 5€ on the store kind of shocked me =O
