If you have brittle code that uses deprecated features, you probably aren't even going to consider installing the latest and greatest whenever it comes out.
Those people aren't going to upgrade until [they] HAVE to.
Exactly. Where are they getting support now? Not from p5p nor from the CPAN, and likely not from any core contributor. I completely fail to understand that mindset that it is the responsibility of anyone who wants to contribute a patch to the Perl core or upload a module to the CPAN
> Where are they getting support now?
In the case of where I'm working now (medium-large corporate) we don't get to choose our Perl version anyway.
Perl is an integral part of the underlying OS (RedHat) and while we may layer our own
One of the recent bugs in RedHat that they fixed was due to us invoking our support contract with them and having them fix the bug, because we needed it.
I imagine a lot of other people are in the same situation. I'd have f
Perl is an integral part of the underlying OS ([Red Hat]) and while we may layer our own
/opt/cpan modules on top of that, we are bound by that.
Red Hat's FTE: 2200.
Perl 5's FTE: still 0.
If Red Hat wants to support Perl 5.6.x, that's Red Hat's business. I still fail to see how that obligates p5p to support Perl 5.6.x.
They aren't supporting 5.6, they're supporting 5.8.8.
But by your timeline there could easily be things in 5.8.8 that have been deprecated by now.
They aren't supporting 5.6, they're supporting 5.8.8.
Are they? I've see no communication in recent years from them about Perl 5.anything in RHEL. (As distinct from Fedora, where Redhat employee(s) working on it have been most communicative and helpful. I've no idea whether the same employees have Red hats as well as Fedora hats, in which case my question is probably unfair, as it could well be that by the time it comes to build a new RHEL from a Fedora, they've ironed out all their problems and simply don't need to ask any more questions.)
> Are they?
Yes. Yes they are.
Good. Still, I wonder what they're doing, because it never ends up in feedback that I see.

How do you handle the kernel module portions of the proprietary graphics drivers? Compile at boot-time?
As I am these days in Hannover I made an interesting live system which can be of course HD installed as well with binary drivers autodetected (Nvidia Geforce 8+ and Amd HD 5+) and also with Mesa 9.1 - not really optimal for Radeon/Nouveau but Intel HD 2000+ works well for Team Fortress 2. It is based on Debian Wheezy with some extras:
* Kernel 3.8.2 (Ubuntu 3.8.0-10 with one extra patch and SATA_AHCI static)
* Nvidia 313.18 and Fglrx 13.2 Beta 7 available in gfxdetect mode and after hd install in that mode
* Mesa 9.1 for open source gfx drivers, best suited for Intel HD 2000+
* Amarok 2.7.0
* Wine 1.5.25
* LibreOffice 4.0.0 (Note to LO: please update before CeBIT next time!)
* Grub 2.00 (in case of UEFI boot requires primary mbr or gpt partition mounted to /boot/efi, can be shared with Win, use adv. partitioning)
* Steam preinstalled
* Libc 2.17 from Debian experimental (in order to use Steam precise repo)
* Iceweasel 19, OpenJDK (only JRE+plugin) 7u15 from Debian experimental
Note: In case you use Fgrlx it is possible to get a blackscreen when shutdown, you can try to press enter to shutdown or hold power button.
I dont have got release announcements on my website as i am a bit busy, but you find the iso here:
With that iso I wanted to demonstrate that Kanotix has got some extra features that Ubuntu does not have. Let me know what you think of it.
How do you handle the kernel module portions of the proprietary graphics drivers? Compile at boot-time?
FGLRX-Legacy 13.1 for AMD HD4xxxx and below would be nice
It would be possible to create such an iso too but that driver is not supported with Serious Sam 3 and Team Fortress 2 is about 10% slower. The kernel modules are installed with dkms but not compiled at boottime, that would be too slow.
Just a heads-up: I've read that shipping the binary kernel modules is not okay according to the GPL. Other Live CD projects have run afoul of this in the past. See http://web.archive.org/web/200606022...y060512-160752
Apparently the easiest way to avoid this is to compile the kernel modules at boot-time.
(I just read about this on #gentoo-dev the other day)
This is FUD and it resulted in distribution you linked to to disappear. Hence "Webarchive".
The only one interested in such FUD is not GPL or FSF advocate, but one who doesn't want Linux system to work out of the box.
(1) Incorrect, because you do not include anything into anything.Originally Posted by FUD
The storage device does not mean any kind of linking. It only means storing.
If claim "It is violation of GPL to store GPL and other license together" were correct, then it would be illegal to use GPL software anywhere
Further, when user starts the GPL software, it uses known non-GPL interfaces to interact with the driver under EULA. Both interfaces and driver EULA explicitly allow it. GPL has no application in this area, hence it is legally allowed to:
-1 ship distribution with integrated drivers
-2 execute such distribution
Even when one gets the CD in hands and tries to compile the drivers on his machine, following FUD flawed logic, he would in-place break GPL. Which is wrong, incorrect and stupid.
Disallowed is to: statically or dynamically compile the driver under EULA directly into GPL code (NOT usage over interfaces).
(2) Drivers are not derived work. It is up to their copyright maintainer to watch out which licenses to take for upstreaming code, for them to match his own EULA for the end product.
Distribution is also NOT derived work, because author of distribution is not claiming copyright on these components and uses them according to cases allowed under individual licenses.
(3) The guy is lying, the only thing he wants, is to kill the distribution by completely destroying out of box experience and making it usage useless.

Mesa 9.1 is problematic with older amd cards, it has rendering errors and is slow. Basically you need Mesa master right now - hopefully the needed fixes come to 9.1.1 which i will certainly package. I did not like to package Mesa master but wanted a stable Mesa release.
It is absolutely no technical problem to compile the module on boot. But to you like to wait 1 min longer or more on slower systems? If somebody wants to sue me because of 2 stupid precompiled modules then do it. There is no money to get from me anyway. I have got no financial gain when i produce this kind of live image so what should happen? One distro less than before, big gain for the Linux community.

I would have written but have been so busy here for the last ten days that I scarcely have time to write. Your last letter, written on the 24th ultimo, I received a letter a week ago while out on picket. We were out five days, two and one-half of which my company stood without relief. And it rained and stormed most terribly for two days and nights. We were in it all with no tents. We had to cut logs or poles and put them together and get up on them to keep out of the water, and then it turned off cold, freezing, but thanks to our friends, we had clothes that were warm. About the clothing, it all came safe. My coat is so small I can't wear it. You must have thought that soldiering diminished my body while it lengthened my legs as my pants are about three inches too long and fit me like a meal bag.

I am surprised that Red hat consider the new 3D drivers and Compiz stable enough to go into their enterprise server.
It is a well know fact that the theme manager for Compiz, Emerald, is buggy, and the Compiz folks says them self, that it can't be fixed. It have to be written from scratch to become stable.

We have apples coming out of the wazoo! I guess it is too cold to grow apples up here (there are no local orchards that I know of), so my in-laws bring us a whole whack of apples from down south every fall. So, after making apple pie, apple crisp, and huge batch of apple sauce, we still had tons left. The obvious thing to do next was to try my hand at apple juice. OK, first just let me say that apple juice is A LOT of work. I don't know how they can sell huge cans of it for 99 cents. I started with a recipe in my canning cookbook that called for 24 lbs of apples to be chopped, cooked in 8 cups of water, then hung in a cheesecloth and left to drip for 2 hrs. That sounded like too much work, plus I doubted any cheesecloth could hold 24 lbs of cooked apples. Enter my Jack LaLanne power juicer! I figured the juicer would eliminate the initial cooking step and perhaps filter the juice a bit. Well, it didn't work exactly as planned since the juice still needed considerable straining to filter out all the sediment. Here is what I did to get a delicious juice with an amber colour and cidery taste. Son #1 set up the photo for tonight's post.
Makes about 6L of juice
- 24 lbs apples
- 1 juicer
- 2 clean tea towels, damp (they will get stained)
- two large pots/bowls
- kitchen thermometer
- 6 1L canning jars and lids
Sterilize your jars. Get a large pot of water boiling to process the jars of juice.
1. Use large rubber bands to affix the tea towels over the top of the pots/bowls. Don't make the towel tight over the bowl; rather, make sure it dips into the bowl so it can hold the juice.
2. Working in batches, chop the apples and process them through the juicer. Pour into the towel over one of the bowls and let drip through. You will find that the towel quickly gets gummed up with a pectiny residue, so I made this a pretty rough filtering. Once most of the juice passed through, I detached the towel and squeezed the remaining juice through. Then, I poured it through the other towel while I cleaned the first towel. I then passed it through the first towel once again.
3. Once all the juice has been filtered, heat to 190 degrees F and keep at that temperature for 5 mins. Pour into jars, top with lids, then screw the ring on finger tight. Place in pot of boiling water (making sure water covers lids), return to boiling, then boil for 10 mins with lid on. Remove from heat, remove lid, and let sit for 5 mins. Remove jars from water and let cool.

Iam from Hungary(Europe) Iam following your blog for some months.
Let me advise to You something for juice making: Angel Juicer
Its really hard, it makes very good quality juicer from apple or from anything! Its not needed to filter juice, because its so clean. You can not find any pulp in juice.
The advantage of juicing is enzymes. After you heat it... you will loose it.
So it is very worth juicing every day, newly.
I just wanted to share my experience, I hope it will be useful for you. I think your children will like the fresh juices. :) - October 15, 2009 at 1:38 AM
- bugbear said...
Well the traditional method of making cider is just to press fresh apples. So they probably do that, then pasteurize the result to make "apple juice".
If you have a juicer, you might want to try some freshly juiced apples, depending on the variety it is incredibly vital and fresh tasting! And of course you have already done some for storage so that's good.
If you want you can leave the fresh apple juice (unheated) in a loosely covered jug for about a week and it will turn into hard cider. - October 15, 2009 at 4:00 AM

I've never done apple juice for exactly the reason you mentioned: So much work!
You should try apple butter, if you've not before. Super super tasty, and not all that much work. I made about three batches of it last weekend after an orchard visit. - October 15, 2009 at 10:27 AM

That looks so good! But seems like a lot of work, hopefully the taste was worth it!
We had such a crappy summer here (Kingston) that there was hardly any apple crop this year.
The first frost was a week ago! And it usually doesn't happen till the 3rd-4th week of October.

I found this:
RESCUE INK is a rescue group unlike any you've seen before: a bunch of tattooed, motorcycle-riding tough guys who have joined together to fight animal cruelty, educate abusers and help resolve situations other rescue groups can't – or won't – handle themselves.
Some of the guys grew up in the projects, some had their brushes with the law, some used their smarts to survive, even thrive on the streets. But that was then, this is now, and today they all share a common goal: Using every means within the thin boundaries of the law, they persuade and educate abusers about the right way to treat animals.
Like many of the animals they save, the members of Rescue Ink know what it's like to be given a second chance in life. And they're using theirs to help the animals, no matter what it takes.

That's a lot of work! It must taste yummy! There is nothing like fresh orange juice!
I'm a fan of the unfiltered, uncooked stuff myself. We usually buy it directly from the orchard where they have industrial presses. It freezes well, so it can be kept in your freezer, or purchased as needed, then thawed.
I've made it at home with a juicer, but not for long term storage. I'd probably just freeze it as well though.
I've got a bunch of apples that I want to dehydrate for snacks. But now I'm thinking...there must be someway to use for juice. :)
I love your blog. Great that you are a dad, great that you are a vegan, and great that you are Canadian. I just wish my kids (5, 8) were more adventures in their tastes. - October 15, 2009 at 2:54 PM

Wow, that's an impressive juicing process! But from the looks of it, well worth the time and patience.
Out of curiosity, what kind of apples did you use? - October 16, 2009 at 12:24 AM
- Heli said...
Mm.. apple juice. Around here (Finland) we have "juicing stations" where you bring your apples, pay a fee and they sqeeze the juice out in these big presses. The process is really cool and juice is heavenly.

Heather C,
They are Spies, I think. The people at the orchard said they were Spies, but they really don't hold up when cooked like Spies usually do. They have been disappointing as a cooking apple which is why I turned to juice. They are windfalls, so they don't look pretty but they make a great tasting juice. - October 17, 2009 at 8:44 PM

I made apple and pear juice this year, and used a juice steamer.
You don't have to core or peel the fruit, just chop it up and put it in the top tier. Then add water to the bottom, assemble the whole mess, steam for an hour, and you'll get juice. After that I ran the fruit through a food mill and made fruit butter. Yum!
If you don't want to watch your fruit butter for hours, waiting for it to cook down, this method works very well:

It ain't New Orleans, but it likes to party like it is, and with Fat Tuesday coming up, Summit County is gearing up for another round.The festivities start Saturday with the annual Mardi Gras ball at Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge, featuring the blues, pop, Gospel and jazz stylings of Denver phenom Hazel Miller. This year's party also features Brazilian samba dancers for the first time. The attire is mountain formal - that nebulous style that runs the gamut from high heels and tuxedos to jeans and snow boots. "I'm wearing a vintage '60s dress, and probably the first time I've worn heels in months, with a boa and a mask," said Rachel Zerowin, spokesperson for the Breckenridge Resort Chamber (BRC), when pressed.Costumes, beads and masks are all game; guests can purchase them at the event or stop by Holly's Pizazz Boutique, 101 N. Main St. Unit D in Breckenridge for more options. The ball is also an occasion to honor the 2013 Mardi Gras Rex (king) and queen, Rob Neyland and Lauren Lewsadder, who were selected by a panel of prior winners. "Fifteen years ago in 1999, Bill Wishowski was the first Breckenridge local to be king," said Gavin Dalgliesh, BRC events coordinator. "Prior to that, all royalty were refugees who came to Breck from New Orleans to trade out their hometown craziness for ours."Last year's king and queen were John O'Connor of Steak & Rib and Alison Van Straten."I love the Mardi Gras masquerade ball because it's a great opportunity to get dressed up and usually there's a 'second line' that happens," said Zerowin, who is from New Orleans. "A New Orleans-themed Congo line would be the best way to describe it." Dinner will be New Orleans-style cuisine including a fresh Louisiana crawfish and shrimp boil, corn, new potatoes, Andouille sausage, chicken and sausage gumbo, crawfish etouffee, fried catfish fingers with Cajan remoulade, Camillia red beans and rice, chicken and sausage jambalaya, Bananas Foster and king cakes.The evening costs $55 per person, $100 per couple and $450 for a table of 10. Purchase tickets online at http://bit.ly/YCOEDN, at the Breckenridge Welcome Center (203 S. Main St.) or by calling (970) 453-5055.
On Tuesday, Breckenridge throws down with a mountain-style Mardi Gras parade. The parade begins at 4:30 p.m. and includes floats and characters handing trinkets out to the crowd. Post-parade parties take place at restaurants and bars around town."Breckenridge doesn't need much of an excuse to gather on Main Street and have a good time. Mardi Gras resonates here because it's about cutting loose and having fun;" said Dalgliesh, "however, the Breckenridge celebration is family friendly."To register a float for the parade, visit http://bit.ly/YEpipa, and for stay-and-play packages call (888) 251-2417 or visit www.GoBreck.com.
Down the road in Frisco, The Barkley Ballroom and Ollie's Pub and Grub join forces for an all-out Main Street courtyard party, starting at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Todd Altschuler of The Barkley Ballroom, which recently reinvented itself as a venue for live acts, is a 15-year veteran of New Orleans' Jazz Fest. He hand-selected two bands with distinctly different styles to grace the stages at the two venues, which share a courtyard at 610 Main St. in Frisco."Funk and Delta blues are two staples of New Orleans sound and the bands playing on Tuesday will truly bring out the Mardi Gras vibe," Altschuler said. First there's the 11-piece Colorado funk-and-party band, Atomga, which will play four sets at the Barkley Ballroom. The band features a four-piece horn section and "awesome percussion," Altschuler said.Next door at Ollie's, the high-energy blues band, Erik Boa and the Constrictors, also will play four sets. The group plays everything from Delta blues and swing to boogie-woogie, and is a winner of the Colorado Blues Society International Blues Competition. There will be New Orleans-style food and drink like gumbo, jambalaya and hurricanes. A $5 wristband buys entry into both Frisco venues and the courtyard that connects them.
In Keystone, Fat Tuesday runs from 2:30-5 p.m. in River Run Village with the annual gumbo competition, presented by Keystone Resort and the Keystone Neighborhood Company. There will also be a beignet bake-off, new this year. It's $10 for unlimited tasting while Da Hoodoo Men, a six-piece New Orleans cover act, plays until 5:30. For more info on Keystone's Fat Tuesday, visit www.keystoneresort.com or see our piece, "Music, art & grub."
Next weekend, Copper Mountain Resort concludes Summit County's Mardi Gras celebrations with Fat Saturday on Feb. 16. The celebration features masks, beads and N'awlins drink specials along with a Woodward Rail Jam and tunes by DJ Cajun Chris, a Mardi Gras parade, a 6:30 p.m. performance by the Boulder fire-dancing troupe, Cosmic Fire and fireworks over West Lake at 7.

This is the meat tenderizer that infuses food with marinade. A built-in plunger releases marinade into meat via three needle-like applicators, quickly saturating the interior of food with flavor enhancing ingredients. Twenty seven stainless steel blades sever tough connective tissue, softening the meat. It holds up to 3 oz. of marinade (enough to flavor 2 lbs. of flank steak), the tenderizing blades have two depth settings for optimal penetration of thick roasts or steaks, and unlike tenderizing mallets it will not alter the meat's thickness. The unit disassembles for simple cleaning in the top rack of a dishwasher and it locks with the blades inside and has a cover for safe storage. 9" H x 3 1/4" D x 3 1/2" W. (10 oz.)

Phoronix: GNOME 2.28 Released; GNOME 3.0 Is Up Next
Lucas Rocha, on the behalf of all GNOME developers worldwide, has just announced the release of GNOME 2.28.0. GNOME 2.28 is the last release prior to GNOME 3.0 that is due out next March, with some of the improvements in this version being a GNOME Bluetooth module, the Empathy instant messaging client has picked up more features, the Epiphany web-browser has finally switched to the WebKit rendering engine over Gecko as the default choice, improved audio settings support, and much more. The GNOME 2.28.0 release announcement can be read on the GNOME announce list...
Pretty cool, stable, and relatively optimized.
looks great and runs great.
it is amazing how fast gnome and kde are evolving.
can't wait for gnome 3 :-)
Wrong, Michael. You've got your facts wrong.
The Gnome team hasn't yet made the decision about whether 2.30 or 2.32 will become Gnome 3.0.
If you'd read the release notes for 2.28, you'd have known this.
After few days, I tag new gnome as utter crap. So many bugs, maybe it's just archlinux repo, what a waste of time and human potential.

Transit passengers eat at a cafe with a TV screen with a news program showing a report on Edward Snowden, in the background, at Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow Wednesday, June 26, 2013.
MOSCOW — Moscow's main airport swarmed with journalists from around the globe Wednesday, but the man they were looking for, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, was nowhere to be seen.
The mystery of his whereabouts only deepened a day after President Vladimir Putin said that Snowden was in the transit area of Sheremetyevo Airport.
There were ordinary scenes of duty free shopping, snoozing travelers and tourists sipping coffee but no trace of America's most famous fugitive. If Putin's statement is true, it means that Snowden has effectively lived a life of airport limbo since his weekend flight from Hong Kong, especially with his American passport now revoked by U.S. authorities.
Adding to the uncertainty, Ecuador's foreign minister said it could take up to two months to decide whether to grant asylum to Snowden and the Latin American nation would take into consideration its relations with the U.S. Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino compared Snowden's case to that of Julian Assange, the founder of anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, who has been given asylum in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
"It took us two months to make a decision in the case of Assange, so do not expect us to make a decision sooner this time," Patino told reporters during a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. However, later in the day he said on Twitter that the decision could happen "in a day, a week, or, as happened with Assange, it could take two months."
Snowden, who is charged with violating American espionage laws, fled Hong Kong over the weekend and flew to Russia. He booked a seat on a Havana-bound flight Monday en route to Venezuela, but didn't board the plane. His ultimate destination was believed to be Ecuador.
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa shot back at critics on Wednesday, taking special aim at a Washington Post editorial that described him as "the autocratic leader of tiny, impoverished Ecuador" and accused him of a double standard for considering asylum for Snowden while stifling critics at home.
"The shamelessness of the century: Washington Post accuses Ecuador of double standard," Correa said on his Twitter page.
As a contractor for the NSA, Snowden gained access to documents that he gave to the Post and the Guardian to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an authoritarian government.
Correa complained that the international press "has managed to focus attention on Snowden and on those 'wicked' countries that 'aid' him, making us forget the terrible things against the U.S. people and the whole world that he denounced."
An Associated Press reporter entered the transit area where Snowden is purportedly staying by flying from Kiev, Ukraine. It serves both connecting passengers traveling via Moscow to onward destinations and passengers departing from Moscow who have passed border and security checks.
The transit zone unites three terminals: the modern, recently built D and E, and the older, less comfortable F, which dates to the Soviet era. Boarding gates line one side of the transit and departure area, and gleaming duty free shops, luxury clothing boutiques and souvenir stores selling Russian Matryoshka dolls are on the other. About a dozen restaurants owned by local and foreign chains serve various tastes.
Hundreds of Russian and foreign tourists awaited flights on Wednesday, some stretched out on rows of gray chairs, others sipping hot drinks at coffee shops or watching through giant windows as silver-blue Aeroflot planes landed and took off.
An Asian girl, about 10 years old, slept peacefully on her father's lap. A middle-aged mother and her teenage daughter tried out perfume samples at a duty free store, while a woman in a green dress picked out a pair of designer sunglasses. A pilot was buying lunch at Burger King.
Putin insisted Tuesday that Snowden has stayed in the transit zone without passing through Russian immigration and is free to travel wherever he likes. But the U.S. move to annul Snowden's passport may have severely complicated his travel plans. Exiting the transit area would require either boarding a plane or passing through border control, both of which require a valid passport or other documentation.
Hordes of journalists armed with laptops and photo and video cameras have camped in and around the airport, looking for Snowden or anyone who may have seen or talked to him. But after talking to passengers, airport personnel, waiters and shop clerks, the press corps has discovered no sign of the leaker.
Russian news agencies, citing unidentified sources, reported that Snowden was staying at a hotel in the transit terminal, but there was no sign of him at the zone's only hotel, Air Express. It offers several dozen capsule-style spaces that passengers can rent for a few hours to catch some sleep. Hotel staff refused to say whether Snowden was staying there or had stayed there in the past.
"We only saw lots of journalists, that's for sure," said Maxim, a waiter at the Shokoladnitsa diner not far from Air Express, who declined to give his last name because he wasn't allowed to talk to reporters.

CARSON, Calif. – AEG President and CEO Dan Beckerman has been mostly a behind the scenes presence since taking the position weeks ago, but the executive was on the podium on Thursday when the Galaxy announced the deal to sign Omar Gonzalez as the club's third Designated Player.
In statement's Beckerman was blunt when discussing Gonzalez's impact with LA, bluntly stating that "Omar is the Galaxy."
"Omar had opportunities all over the world, but he chose to stay here with the Galaxy and that's a significant milestone for us. It really validates everything that we want to be as a league. We always want to be a league of choice and more importantly, it establishes us as the team of choice, which has always been our mission as the Galaxy.
As for what it means for AEG, who have developed a reputation for signing big name players since acquiring the team in 2008, signing Gonzalez was a major boost.
"It's critically important to have Omar join the ranks of Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and David Beckham, and be an American player at that level is critical for the success of the team. We want to have world class international players on our team, period. Whether they come from the U.S., abroad or wherever, we want to have the best players with the Galaxy as a Designated Player…We want the best players wherever they come from."
CARSON, Calif. -- It's official.
Omar Gonzalez is the LA Galaxy's third Designated Player.
The Galaxy announced on Thursday that the 24-year-old center back has been signed to a DP contract allowing him to become the first defender signed to such a contract. Drafted by the Galaxy with the third overall selection in 2009 MLS SuperDraft from the University of Maryland, Gonzalez has made 119 regular season appearances for LA -- 118 of them starts. During his time with LA, Gonzalez has racked up the honors as he was named the 2009 Rookie of the Year, 2011 MLS Defender of the Year, and 2012 MLS Cup Final MVP while also being named to the MLS Best XI twice.
Gonzalez is the fifth DP in Galaxy history and joins David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Juan Pablo Angel and Robbie Keane. He is also the sixth American DP joining Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Freddy Adu, Claudio Reyna, and Chris Wondolowski.

Before we focus on the excitment of the new LA Galaxy third Designated Player that will be unveiled later today, the Professional Referee Organization took a look a the two "offside" goals conceded by the Galaxy in their 3-3 draw with FC Dallas.
First up was the goal scored by Blas Perez in the 48th minute, Rejer was quick to agree that Perez was offside from the moment that Dallas midfielder Michel took the kick.
"Blas Perez of Dallas was in an offside position when the first free-kick was taken, the AR Kevin Duliba should have been aware of this as offside is his number one priority and focus," Rejer said. "As soon as the kicker plays the ball, the AR should focus on the offside player. Then, as in this case, as soon as he plays the ball he is interfering with play. Therefore, the goal should have been disallowed."
Rejer applied the same scrutiny to Perez's second goal in the 86th minute and came up with the same result.
"Later in the game, George John of Dallas is in an offside position from a free-kick," Rejer said. "When the delivery came over he made a challenge for the ball and, at this point, the AR raised his flag for offside - this time for interfering with an opponent. Using the very same process he should have been aware of the offside player from the outset and concentrated on him and raised the flag when he became active."
Thoughts on PRO's statements? Glad that they admit that the goals should have been disallowed? Expect Kevin Duliba to serve as an Assistant Referee again?

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will hold a press conference on Thursday to unveil the team's new third Designated Player.
The identity of this player? Well, it appears that it will be Omar Gonzalez. When asked about the DP speculation surrounding the center back, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena stated that the club would like to have a resolution within a week.

CARSON, Calif. – Speculation surrounding Omar Gonzalez and the possibility of him becoming the LA Galaxy's third Designated Player has drawn considerable buzz over the past week, and it appears that it may be approaching a resolution.
During the Galaxy's training session on Wednesday, LA head coach and general manager Bruce Arena as well as Gonzalez himself addressed the issue, with Arena saying that something may be finalized within a week.
"Remains to be seen," said Arena on the conversations with Gonzalez. "I think that we're hoping to get something finalized by the end of this week."
Meanwhile, Gonzalez admitted that talks continue to go on between him and the club that he has played for since 2009.
"I would love to stay here. We've been talking back and forth," said Gonzalez. "The talks are continually going, but we've done some great things here together with the Galaxy. Right now, my focus is going on getting a third consecutive championship. "
As for any desire to head for Europe, Gonzalez is interested in testing himself abroad, but he believes that will happen in time.
"At some point, yeah. Whether it be at the end of the year or later or three years from now," said Gonzalez." That's yet to be known, for now my focus is here. At some point, I think that I do want to go to Europe, but it has to be the right time. I'm still trying to figure that out."
New LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo is settling into life in MLS, but the 31-year-old goalkeeper is hopeful that he'll be able to earn minutes with the Galaxy soon.
The 31-year-old Panamanian international was on the bench for LA's 3-3 draw with FC Dallas on Sunday, just days after making his Galaxy debut in the second half of the club's 2-0 defeat to AC Milan in Guinness International Champions Cup Third Place Game. The appearance came only a day after the 'keeper signed with the Galaxy on a free transfer.
Currently, Penedo finds himself serving as the backup to Galaxy starter Carlo Cudicini, who has started 21 of LA's 23 matches this season. After serving as a regular for Los Canaleros and Guatemalan side Municipal for much of the last decade, it might be a bit strange for him to play a backup role, but Penedo admits that he told Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena in their very first conversation that he would be willing to wait for his chance to start.
"We went to dinner with a translator and he told me that he has followed me, and asked if I have patience. I said "yes I have patience," Penedo told reporters after the Galaxy's 3-3 draw in Dallas. "I want to work hard to help the team and do whatever I can for them, even being a backup is welcome."
Where Penedo is almost certain to earn time this year is in CONCACAF Champions League play. Traditionally, Arena has opted to use his second choice 'keeper for the CCL group stages, and he may offer Penedo his first start for the Galaxy in Tuesday's match against Cartaginés at StubHub Center.
"We'll see," Arena said after the draw with FC Dallas when asked about when Penedo may take the field. "Every game is different and we'll see."
Expectations are considerably high for Penedo with the Galaxy and his native Panama, however, the 'keeper is focused solely on fitting in with his new club.
"I know that the expectations are high in Panama. I've heard the commentaries and that's what they want, but it is not my decision. It is my job to convince who I have to convince," said Penedo. "I think that this week has been positive. I'm learning how to speak English and continue my job. Hopefully, things will work out."
In the latest edition of MLSsoccer.com's Instant Replay, Simon Borg breaks down the two noncalls that marred the LA Galaxy's 3-3 draw with FC Dallas.
Borg's analysis of the Galaxy match can be found at 4:43.
Check it out below..
Landon Donovan's hat trick in the LA Galaxy's 3-3 against FC Dallas earned him MLS Player of the Week honors, MLS announced.
The North American Soccer Reporters voted Donovan as Player of the Week, making him the second LA Galaxy player to win the honors this season. The first was Mike Magee when he tallied a hat trick against his current club, the Chicago Fire in the first week of the season.
Let's look at just how impressive Donovan's night was, shall we?
*Donovan had just three shots and scored three goals. He's the first player to score in all of his shots since Dewayne De Rosario on Sept. 2011. Interestingly enough, three of Donovan's came during game's where he scored on all three of his shots.
*Donovan has now scored 20 goals against FC Dallas. His highest against any club.
*Donovan now has 152 career goals in MLS (counting postseason and regular season).
*At 130 regular season goals, he's just FIVE goals away from setting a new MLS regular season record, which is currently held by Jeff Cunningham.
*Donovan now has four career hat tricks in MLS – three of them as a member of the Galaxy—which puts him just one hat trick away from tying the league's all-time mark of five, which is shared by Stern John and Diego Serna.
Landon Donovan's first goal of his hat trick against FC Dallas has been nominated for MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Week.
The goal was a class finish by Donovan, who was sent on a diagonal run by a Robbie Keane pass. Donovan then headed the ball past Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz and then tapped it in to beat a hard charging Matt Hedges.

FRISCO, Texas. -- The LA Galaxy were left searching for answers on Sunday after it appears that officating mistakes may have turned a 3-1 victory into a 3-3 draw against FC Dallas.
The calls in question came on both of FC Dallas' goals by Blas Perez in the 48th and 86th minute, which it seems that assistant referees Kevin Duliba and Brian Dunn, should have ruled offside. Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena was the most blunt postgame about the officating decisions, but each of the four LA players that spoke to the media following the match addressed the calls.
Their thoughts are below...
TODD DUNIVANT: "From what I've heard, those second and third were offside and they stand as goals. All three were set pieces so that's something that we clearly have to work on."
OMAR GONZALEZ: "You just wish that everyone on that field is on their game. Sometimes, not everyone is on their game, but those three guys, you want them to be on."
CARLO CUDICINI: "It's a pity. Scoring three goals away from home should be enough to win games. The last two goals were clearly offside, so sometimes it's easy to complain, but that's why in training, we try things. If we try things and guys see that it is offside then they should indicate it to the referee. Overall, at the end of the day, we have one point, which is not a bad result, but when you're 3-2 with 10 minutes to go, of course, you try to win it and get the three points.
LANDON DONOVAN: "I haven't seen any replay, but if that's the case, it's unfortunate. It's part of the game. People make mistakes. Referees certainly are humans, too; they make mistakes. Let's just hope that they weren't, but if they are, then it is what it is"

Well businesses wouldn't mind challenging it if they had a chance of success, but they don't.
Just for the record we are dealing with two different legal things here:
Software patents for codecs. Which is why Theora is being pushed for web content even though it is technically inferior to H.264. DVDs use MPEG2 which is still patent encrusted.
DMCA protections of digital protection schemes. Breaking a digital copyright protection scheme is illegal even if it is not for the purposes of violating copyrights. The protections themselves are protected.
Very insane.
VLC and such, which is insanely popular and one of the best avialable for all platforms, is technically illegal in the USA.
For individual users this isn't a big deal, but for people wanting to use Linux in a professional capacity or OEMs that want to providing working Linux systems to end users then this is a big issue. Providing legal means for working around and licensing patents for codecs is one of the major points behind gstreamer and is a central aspect of Fluendo's business model.
Bless them for it, also. Otherwise we'd be stuck with Helix/Realplayer type things.

Re: 100% Wool
When this appeared last time, we learned about the good-hearted Oriah the Ox. She "had been reading the news and was really upset about the children in Afghanistan who have been affected by the war there. She did some research and learned about Afghans for Afghans, a project by knitters to send warm clothes and blankets to those very children. Since the best yarn for keeping warm is wool, she asked her friend Shirley the Sheep if she could help her out. Shirley agreed to contribute wool and Oriah got out her knitting needles and went to work. Unfortunately, she is very nearsighted and started using yarn from a sheep she didn't know, but who was too polite to say anything. But word got out, and some of the sheep decided to stay in the forest until they could figure out why an ox was knitting!" While it is much warmer now, Oriah is still knitting to get a head start and have things ready for when it gets cold in Afghanistan. Please vote for this shirt and get the word out about Afghans for Afghans.

Re: Deep Inside the Blender
I'm not normally a fan of reference shirts, but this one is very clever and well-done. GMV, and in for one if it prints.
Re: I got mooned!
Very cheeky, and possibly my favourite Jewelwing entry ever. GMV and in for one if it prints.
Re: Squeeze
I voted for it during the original derby, and I'm voting for it again today! I really want this shirt!
Re: My best friend
Bellarific, I adore your wild-eyed monsters. This is as charming as ever, and has my vote again.
Re: Take a Taco for a Walko
Really glad to see this one again. GMV! Good luck odyssey'. ^_^
GMV!!! can't wait to own this!!!!! its phenomenal!!!! i really wanted it last time.. but instead none of the shirts i wanted won :/
I predict (hope) that I will be wearing this shirt within the next few weeks. GMV again. Much love to the rad Robbie robot.
Re: Keepin' it cool
Still awesome. I'd wear this all summer. GMV, radiomode!
Hands-down, one of the best, most skillful entries from the Comics derby. GMV, and keeping fingers crossed for an EC, if not a win.
Re: Tweets are for Birds
GMV! Um... what was the original derby? Funny, the Deja Vu derby (next week), artists have to say what derby they've picked. I wish woot would do the same in these 2nd double-take extravaganzas.
Re: Zodiac Nap
The coloring and character design on here is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I'd want at least one. Seriously lucky, one of my favorite of your designs and they are all darn good. GMV.
Re: SKREEEEEEEEEEE!
This *needs* to print. I regretfully predict that the voters will once again fail to push this to the top where it belongs, but if there's any justice at Woot, this should be an EC next week.
Re: The Ancient Chinese Raggon
Have never been keen on heather-grey shirts, bunny shirts, or vaguely-Asian dragon shirts. Yet this one design manages to mash-up three things I don't like into something wonderful I would happily wear. GMV again.
Re: smokestacks
I'm pretty excited to see this one back!
Thanks for the early support! It's a long, long derby, though...
God this is amazing, and it was so on theme the week it was submitted! Should have printed then...

Thanks parrotice! Heh sorry, good point, I often wonder about entries as well. This was from the New Vintage Derby... "For shirt-wearing enthusiasts, nothing beats scoring an awesome old t-shirt from a thrift store or vintage shop. Well, we don't have any vintage shirts to sell you. But we can jump on the fake vintage bandwagon, and jump we shall. This week, show us a shirt that looks like you found it on the dollar rack at Goodwill. The subject matter can be either retro or contemporary; if you've always dreamed about a '70s LOLcat t-shirt, you can haz it. But the look must be vintage, through the graphic style, the choice of fonts, distressed effects, or preferably all of the above."
Re: Float On - Now with Improved Steering Power!
Agreed GMV
Go Raggon go!! I loves yeeeewww ;_;. If you win, I will buy 6: 3 of my size, and 3 sleep shirt sizes. :D :D :D
One of my ultimate faves of yours Lucky!!!!
Re: How Are Rainbows Made.

Re: Awesomer.

Re: inksane in the mouse brain
This is also one of very few shirts I was heartbroken to not be able to buy ;_;. I would looove so much to have it. Rodents = <3.
Re: EcoCar
Sweet! Voted!
Thanks spiritgreen and endangeredomega, I'm hoping for an EC print. The thread for the next derby is kind of dead, so I'll post it here too. I'm livestreaming right now, if anybody wants to watch me color comics. livestream.com/odysseyroc
I desperately need this shirt! Come on Wooters, don't make the same mistake twice!!!
This must win! I wish you have entered The Veggie Gang: High in Vitamins, Low in Morals again? I REALLY wish that one had printed and was here for another double take!
I'd like to send this to all the people in DC who are canceling our next lunar program.

Fighting over peace...
Phoronix: In-Fighting Continues Over Mir On Non-Unity Ubuntu
For those looking for the latest drama in the Ubuntu Linux land, the fighting over whether KDE and GNOME should support the Mir Display Server to complement the in-development Wayland support continues to be hotly discussed...
Fighting over peace...
It just seems that Canonical lives in a different universe. It's going to take a lot more to convince people to adopt Mir. Even if Mir were technically superior to Wayland, the fact that it only runs in one place makes it very difficult to justify working on, especially when the path to making GNOME or KDE compatible with Mir has far more obstacles than what's currently happening with Wayland.
I don't have a problem with Mir being used for Ubuntu, as Unity is already an Ubuntu-specific interface that's extremely difficult to get working on other distros. But it's just silly to expect other people to support Mir so far ahead, without the technical means or the social imperative to do so.
Linux comes off as really amateurish.
Mir dev's "We would like to port kde to Mir ourselves, but we just need some pointers"
Kde dev "Go fuck yourselves"
Zealots "See, Ubuntu doesn't try to work with upstream"
Everyone else "The hell?"
Which KDE dev are you referring to? I didn't see any KDE developers on there, just some kubuntu maintainers.
I also saw the same kubuntu developers suggest that if Mir developers wanted to talk to KDE developers, they should contact the KDE developers directly. The Mir developers refused, insisting it was the kubuntu developers' responsibility to organize a discussion for them. And then the Mir developers complained that upstream didn't want to talk to them.
Mir developers also apparently read Martin's blog post, but showed absolutely no interest in addressing any of his technical points, they just kept complaining about one sentence about bugs in the Ubuntu graphics stack, repeatedly demanding that the Kubuntu developers list the bugs even though the Kubuntu developers repeatedly explained that they didn't know anything about those bugs.

Wayland may come to Ubuntu
"I think the best way for us to continue to engage with upstreams at this point is to make sure that the Wayland protocol can work on Ubuntu. I don't see support for multiple protocols happening in GNOME/KDE/others, as that's quite contrary to every project's goal (including Unity!)"
did you see what the ubuntu developer said about wayland
"Wayland has yet to advance beyond the level of a pet project - not
something production-ready that projects can rely on in a shipping release"
what a Dick
I use Xubuntu and are a very vocal supporter of it. But it kind of ticks me off that the devs of Xubuntu have been so quiet on this issue, last I heard they said it shouldn't be a problem. I'm starting to get very upset at this whole situation with Canonical. In recent day's I've been giving Debian 7.1 a hard look but it seems like there are things missing that put me off. Critical things that are missing is the ease that *buntu has of installing AMD/Nvidia drivers via Jockey-gtk; I have to manually type out some things via the terminal in Debian and edit the Xorg config...yes for you old hats it's cool but for people whom have moved from Windows to Linux it's just not.
Also missing, of course is the Software Center and over the past few day's I've been reading horror stories about Unity games and other games having issues running in Debian. It's one of those things you want as an alternative, but there is this brick wall staring at you. I'd choose Mint except it's just too crash happy on my systems and those guys are very moody about people asking for ways to buy software. I've seen people lose their mod rights for asking about bringing the Software Center to Mint...not cool.
My only other option it seems is dirty Windows, but you couldn't pay me to use that again. So now I'm in limbo, hoping they can all work this out and wishing the Xubuntu team would be more vocal.

I'm bummed I never got to bring my dad as he shared my PRS obsession and would've loved the Experience, hopefully I can share it with Jakeb. Only downside is I would miss the Hans Extravaganza.

Can anybody help a first timer out and recommend a hotel to stay at? Or at least the hotel where most everyone stayed last time?
Hilton Garden Inn is very popular. You can find gear whores in the lobby.
The Sheraton is a favorite of mine because Famous Dave's is right there.
"I watched approximately 45 seconds of 'Rock Of Ages'. It was like getting punched in the soul." - Abby Krizner
Some good times in the lobby of the Annapolis HGI. The hotel staff hates us.
Last year we were admonished for our failure to put the furniture back in it's place.
One Life
The Annapolis HGI might be the winner. Now I have to rent a car....
Sooo, should I be reserving a hotel now or do they discount any rates at a few hotels for the event when it gets closer??
(Sorry, new to the Experience this year)
I would book your room now, and then cancel it if discounted rooms arise. If its with the same hotel they can usually adjust your reservation and if its a different hotel, you can book there and cancel the existing reservation. You don't want to be sleeping in the factory parking lot at night. Hans and I walk around with flashlights and would probably scare you.

Modern Vinyl "Masters" vs. CD--My Experience, It Really IS About the Music |
Modern Vinyl "Masters" vs. CD--My Experience, It Really IS About the Music |
Dec 5 2012, 18:59
Group: Members Posts: 584 Joined: 16-February 10 Member No.: 78200 |
Due to some recent past experiences in other threads wherein some members (who plainly state their honest dislike of vinyl) claim that modern LPs are just as dynamically clipped as their CD-counterparts, I'd like to take an opportunity to illustrate that this is IME not the case. I've heard it stated more than once that "vinyl is not about the music..it's about the ritual.) This is seemingly just plain-old lazy bias. It can easily be forgiven in that these posters make it pretty obvious that they don't purchase vinyl, let alone compare modern releases to their CD-counterparts.
Here are screenshots from needledrops I've done of some of my favorite recent records. All but one were released in the past two years. Warrel Dane's "Praises to the War Machine" was released in 2008. (As a fun side-note, the vinyl LP came with the CD and was limited to 1,000 copies worldwide.) I would like to note that I did not cherry-pick these examples. I only have about three more needledrops that I also have a CD copy or iTunes Matched version of. I can upload those as well. It should also be noted that all of these examples are on the heavier-side of the metal genre and probably are far more dense in sound than most other examples from other genres. I've brought each vinyl recording up to 0.1 under 0 dB for easier comparison. None of the peaks are "pops" or any artifacts associated with the LP medium. Only one had a "pop" that hit the ceiling and I corrected it before applying gain. Borknagar - "The Earthling" from "Urd" (2012) LP iTunes Matched AAC In Flames - "Ropes" from "Sounds of a Playground Fading" (2011) LP CD (This album is an egregious example of how bad they can make a modern CD sound through destructive normalization.) Saint Vitus - "Let Them Fall" from "Lillie: F-65" (2012) LP CD (Yes, really. It sounds worse than it looks IME.) Warrel Dane - "Brother" from "Praises to the War Machine" (2008) LP CD Septicflesh - "Oceans of Grey" from "The Great Mass" (2011) LP CD [continued in next post due to apparent image constraints] -------------------- The Loudness War is over. Now it's a hopeless occupation.

OT regarding the wiki:
I would strive to make the language more neutral and unassuming. It's simply not a good idea to levy broad generalizations based on a limited number of titles from an even more limited number of labels and genres. -------------------- My eyes are equipped with false negative prevention.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
Version and / or Patch Used: Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/UK/default.aspx
Product Homepage: http://www.hawxgame.com/
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is an arcade-style flight simulator video game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iPhone OS.
The fundamental gameplay mechanics are similar to those of other console-based flight series. Players take on enemies with over 50 aircraft available. Each mission is at real world locations in environments created with commercial satellite data. A cockpit, first person, and third person view are selectable. The third person view gives the player an external view of both their plane and the target.
Set above the skies of a near-future world, increasingly dependent on private military companies with elite mercenaries who have a relaxed view on the law. As these non-governmental organizations gain power, global conflict erupts with one powerful PMC attacking the United States.
Again, a massive boost in performance with the card performing only just behind the GTX 480.

Blue Jays host Yanks in early AL East clash
In years past, the Yankees often led the charge in terms of making an offseason splash. But this winter, the Blue Jays were the active ones, adding several big pieces in an effort to reach the playoffs for the first time since 1993.
The Yankees will get their first look at the revamped Blue Jays when the teams open their season series on Friday night at Rogers Centre, and Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he is "curious to see what they look like."
"We know they're a team in our division and they've been a club that before their additions were tough to me," Girardi said. "They have a lot of guys that hit the ball out of the ballpark, they added some speed and some defense, and they've added to their rotation. And the additions to the rotation is experienced guys, it's not a bunch of young kids."
That said, Toronto will open the three-game set with one of its rotation holdovers, as right-hander Brandon Morrow takes on veteran left-hander Andy Pettitte. The Blue Jays have not won a season series against the Yankees foes since 2010. New York took 11 of 18 games last year, although Toronto won five of nine at Rogers Centre.
Despite the offseason maneuvering -- or lack thereof, in the Yankees' case -- it's New York that's off to the stronger start. The Yankees have won seven of nine despite a loss on Thursday, while the Blue Jays stand at 6-9 after Thursday's win. That puts the Bronx Bombers two games ahead in the AL East standings, although Girardi is not ready to draw any conclusions just yet.
"It's such a short period of games, I think anyone can get off to a hot start and anyone can get off to a slow start," Girardi said. "You don't make too much of it."
Morrow will come in riding a wave of success against the Yankees. Over the past two seasons, the right-hander is 3-1 with a 1.30 ERA in four starts, with 25 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings.
On Sunday at Kansas City, Morrow (0-1, 4.60 ERA) bounced back from a rough outing, holding the Royals to two runs on six hits in six innings.
"His first inning, he was just so-so in Kansas City and then he kicked it in," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "It was a nice job pitching."
Pettitte (2-0, 1.20 ERA) is starting for the first time since April 9, when he suffered back spasms. The 40-year-old lefty threw about 40 pitches in a bullpen session on Tuesday and said he was fine with the team's decision to push back his third start of the season.
"I feel good. It was a good decision," Pettitte said. "I don't want to second guess anybody. I'll go Friday. It's not that big of an issue. Hopefully, I'll feel great Friday."
Yankees: Nunez to stay in shortstop spotlight
• Thursday's announcement that Derek Jeter will be out until after the All-Star break following complications with his surgically repaired left ankle means that Eduardo Nunez will continue to serve as the Yankees' primary shortstop. Nunez, who has shared time with Jayson Nix, is hitting .233 with only one extra-base hit, but didn't make his first error until Thursday.
"I think he's done a pretty good job," Girardi said. "I know he had his issues last year, but I think he's played a good shortstop for us. He's swung the bat OK for us. I think he's done a pretty good job."
• After a day off against D-backs lefty Patrick Corbin, designated hitter Travis Hafner should be back in the lineup on Friday. Hafner is hitting .342 with four home runs in his first season with the Yankees.
"He's healthy. That's the bottom line for him," Girardi said. "When he's felt good, no matter what his year and how many at-bats he's got, he's swung the bat really good against right-handers. That's our thought process."
Blue Jays: Injuries providing early test
• Slugger Jose Bautista was out of the lineup for a fourth straight game on Thursday due to lingering back spasms. Bautista has missed seven games this season and is hitting .200, although he has smacked three home runs.
Toronto just got third baseman Brett Lawrie back in the lineup, soon after seeing shortstop Jose Reyes go down with a serious ankle injury that is expected to sideline him for three months.
"[Bautista's] the anchor in middle of our lineup. That's a big bat, but we're not the only team beat up," Gibbons said after his team's loss to the White Sox on Wednesday. "But we haven't really seen them put it together yet, offense and defense, pitching. It's frustrating. The guys are trying, so it's one of those days where you got to fight through it, but you can't say it's early anymore. ... We need to start playing better baseball. That's for sure."
Worth noting
• Pettitte's 23 starts at Rogers Centre are tied for his most at any visiting park, and he is 15-6 with a 3.71 ERA in those outings. He also has started 23 times at Baltimore's Camden Yards.
• Hafner has taken only six of his 45 plate appearances against lefties this season, although he has gone 1-for-3 with two walks. He sports an .806 career OPS when facing southpaws.

text: 125 min | NR Shaking audiences at the Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals and winning an Audience Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, THE ACT OF KILLING is an unprecedented film that examines a country where death squad leaders are celebrated as heroes. In this chilling and inventive documentary executive produced by Errol Morris and Werner Herzog, the filmmakers challenge former Indonesian death squad leaders to reenact their real life mass killings in the style of the American movies they love. The hallucinatory result is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep into the imaginations of mass murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit.

Super VGA Cables
Super VGA cables, VGA cables and SVGA cables are all names of a computer video cable with the same connector that is made up of internal coaxial cables. Technically, VGA and SVGA refer to very specific computer resolutions with many more designations. To make things easier, we will refer to them all as the connection type which is VGA. Cables on our site labeled as SVGA encompass any resolution up to 2048x1536. Cables on our site labeled as VGA encompass any resolution up to 1024x768. A Male to Male VGA cable is used to connect a computer to a computer monitor. We also have a component video converter that will allow you to connect your computer with VGA to TV with component video. A male VGA cable comes with that video converter and we carry component cables in our Audio/Video Products section. If you would like to view what you are doing on a computer on 2 monitors, we have a VGA video splitter box for high resolutions and a low-resolution y-cable for lower resolutions. We have several different VGA adapters including VGA to DVI-A and VGA to VGA with different genders to allow you to connect two VGA cables together. If you are looking to extend the length of your current VGA cable, we offer a male to female VGA cable. VGA audio does not exist as VGA only carries a video signal. So we carry a VGA cable with a built in audio cable. It has a 3.5mm cable inside the VGA computer cable to carry audio and video separately. When you are looking for computer cables, Super VGA cables, VGA cables and SVGA cables are all essentially the same thing as they have the same connector and are made up of several coaxial cables.
