One of the greatest musicians ever, if not the greatest. Even after his mega-glory days he still is a god in his own right. He did a few songs with the industrial band Nine Inch Nails which were good. He is also possibly the sexiest man alive. I would totally do him.

A god of rock who is also "really really handsomely good-looking" and has a fantastic sense of humour.
"Did you know David Bowie was a big fan of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett? He covered Barrett's song See Emily Play."
"Nope, but I know he was in the movie Zoolander."

Among the most influential musicians of the century, Bowie has managed to stay at the top of the charts for more than thirty years largely due to his talent for modifying his persona with characters like 1972's Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke. Emerging as a Mod out of Brixton, London at 19, he is best known for his role in the Glam movement of the early 1970s. Born David Robert Haywood Jones on January 8th, 1947, he changed his name in 1966 in order to avoid confusion with Monkees lead singer Davey Jones. Bowie has one perpetually dilated eye (which gives the appearance of two different colours) due to a schoolyard fight.
David Bowie was indeed the Nazz.

Introduction | Olympus OM-D Hands-on | Olympus OM-D versus competition | Conclusion |
After its great success over the past several years in refurbishing its PEN line, Olympus is continuing its quest for innovation by updating other legendary cameras of the past.
The Olympus OM-D comes from a proud line of cameras and now sports the latest technology available from Olympus, such as a 16-Mpix sensor (with the best resolution in this line) and HD video 1080p at 30 fps, among many other features.
The OM-D the newest and smallest Olympus camera to belong to the OM series. This line first appeared in 1972 with the Olympus OM1, which succeeded in stealing away a signficant number of black & white photographers from the headliners at the time (the Nikon F2 and Canon F1) because of its three signature features: its compactness, its robustness, and its lightness. From 1972 to 2002 (date of the last OM camera — the Olympus OM 2000), this line included 14 silver-finish cameras, some of which came with major innovations — notably TTL ("through-the-lens") flash introduced with the Olympus OM2, and multi-spot metering with the Olympus OM4.
Such major names in photography as Josef Koudelka, Philip John Griffiths, and Marc Riboud have been associated with the OM line.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality. |

Phoronix: The Status Of DRI2, GEM, KMS, Etc...
Later this week at OSCON 2008, Intel's Keith Packard will be talking about the Linux desktop when it comes to X.Org, Mesa, and related areas. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the talk will be that technical (unless of course you haven't been staying up to date on our graphics articles), but today he has provided an in-depth blog posting...
Go intel!
Lay the heat on nvidia with your DRI2 support! Finally, opengl screensaver desktop backgrounds that work correctly in compiz!
nice. let's hope all that gem will play nicely with non-intel cards as well.
Wow there's so much work done right now for X.org... can't imagine how the open source ATi drivers will perform by next year when they have adopted all the latest and greatest features!
I was including full Gallium3D support for R5xx-R7xx/R8xx. That will take its time...
Hopefully all the different RadeonHD branches will get to master in the not too distant future... now we have AtomBIOS support-branch, HDMI-Audio-branch and 2D acceleration-branch. I don't even know what exactly is in the AtomBIOS-branch, whether it's rewritten features or new things using AtomBIOS.

As our feline friends reach their senior years (generally considered to be after age 7 or 8) their daily needs begin to change. Follow these veterinarian-approved tips to keep your senior cat healthy and happy as he ages:Brought to you by: American Profile - Inspirational Stories & American History
- Maintain veterinary care. Regular visits to the vet can help identify diseases before a cat becomes critically ill or irreversible damage is done, says Dr. Stephanie Sosniak, of the Northwoods Animal Hospital in Minocqua, Wis. Many diseases can be managed at home with medication or a change in diet.
- Observe your cat. Watch for behavioral changes, such as increased or decreased appetite, increased or decreased urine output, vomiting, weight loss, poor hair coat, irritability, or an increased amount of sleep.
- Watch his weight. Obesity is one of the most common problems facing senior cats, and Sosniak recommends that senior cats be fed according to their goal body weight and health condition as directed by your veterinarian.
- Keep kitty moving. �Older cats tend to be less active, which can compound obesity problems, worsen arthritis pain, and contribute to cognitive decline,� says Sosniak. �Keep senior cats engaged by providing attention, new toys, and environmental enrichment.�
- Make things easy. Your aging cat may need help in order to comfortably maneuver around your home. �Older cats may have a more difficult time climbing into or using a litter box, climbing stairs, or jumping onto furniture,� says Sosniak. She suggests placing food, water, and the litter box in easily accessible locations and adding ramps into the home.

Owning Your Story
There's a movement sweeping business, design, and communication right now. But it's not a new technology, and it has nothing to do with people, patterns, or processes. What it has everything to do with is you and your story.
Storytelling has quickly become one of the most talked about topics in user experience and beyond—to the point that it's almost cliché. Most of the ideas presented around storytelling are focused on simple reasons why storytelling is important and some marginal tips for telling a better story. The problem there is that we're a step ahead of ourselves. We've gone straight to how to tell the story of an experience or a product and skipped over the crucial element of why we're telling these stories in the first place. Before we focus on how to tell the stories about the products, businesses, and experiences we create, we need to first ensure we are making the right products—creating the right stories and experiences for people to participate in.
We've all seen new products described this way: "It's like Pinterest for _________." This type of comparison is so rampant that there are actually websites like Nonstartr and IsThisForThat dedicated to making light of the trend. Entertaining tho it may be, this represents an underlying issue with the state of innovation and how it's affecting the quality of the products we design and create.
In The New York Times article "The Creative Monopoly," David Brooks writes about a course that Peter Thiel is teaching at Stanford's Computer Science Department. A key theme, according to Thiel, is that we often confuse capitalism with competition. "We tend to think that whoever competes best comes out ahead," Brooks writes. "In the race to be more competitive, we sometimes confuse what is hard with what is valuable. The intensity of competition becomes a proxy for value."
Today, too many products are derived not from truly solving a problem, but from repurposing existing products in some slight way. It makes sense. It's often easier to extend an existing idea rather than embark on the journey of mining a new one. But, if we truly want to make great experiences and products for people, we need to stop focusing on competing and start focusing on creating—creating products that are extensions of our own personal stories.
Ron Conway gave an excellent talk at Start Up School 2011 that focused on the qualities of a defining entrepreneur. A key trait he mentioned was that product visionaries must "own the mind of the consumer." Conway cited people like Steve Jobs, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg as having the gift of intrinsically knowing what their customers are thinking before they do.
So how do you own the mind of the consumer? How do you own their story and create a great experience? I believe that to successfully own the mind of the consumer, you first must be the consumer. What you create must stem from your own personal story. You must live and breath for the experience, product, or business you are creating.
What people don't realize about the creation process of great products is that, most often, these ideas are rooted deep in the life story of their creators. Twitter is one of my favorite examples of a product being completely birthed from someone's life story. I recently listened to Jack Dorsey give an address to the Stanford Technology Ventures Program called, "The Power of Curiosity and Inspiration." I never realized the power of a personal story so clearly until I heard him speak about the influence that his life experiences had on the idea for Twitter.
Dorsey grew up in St. Louis, and has always lived in a city. Of his childhood he said: "I was surrounded by this urban atmosphere, and I just loved it. My first love was the city … it was a joy and wonder to me … that love and obsession was made most tangible by maps. I became obsessed with maps. I would wonder what was happening at a particular intersection or area."
Dorsey went on to talk about getting his first computer and learning to program because he wanted to draw a map on the computer screen. Once he was able to do that, he used a CB Radio to access police scanners so he could see in real time what was happening in St. Louis—visualizing the pulse of the city as it lived and breathed.
Dorsey followed his passion for maps and cities by getting a job at the biggest dispatch firm in the world, where he wrote software to visualize New York City. He quickly realized that what was missing from these visualizations was actual people. So he created a prototype that allowed him to receive an email on his Blackberry and send it out to an email list. However, once it was built and he sent his first message, he realized two things. First, no one else cared and second, no one could respond. So he put it aside—great idea, not so great timing.
In a quest to understand consumers better, he went to work for a company called Odeo that, at the time, was focused on podcasting. However, according to Dorsey, no one at the company was excited about podcasting, nor did they want to be consumers of it. So the team challenged themselves to dream up something they'd really like to be working on. Dorsey presented his messaging prototype, and that was the beginning of Twitter.
I love this story because it provides such an authentic demonstration of the power of your personal story and the impact that your personal life experiences can have on the quality of the experiences you create for others. Before you can own the mind of the consumer, the idea must first own your mind—your story.
Recently, Michael Skok (an entrepreneur turned venture capitalist) wrote an article for VentureBeat that speaks to the notion of the product and experience you create being an extension of you and your personal story.
"At the center of that value proposition is you. What problems do you understand uniquely well? What can you deliver uniquely well? What sort of disruptive business model can you bring to bear?" he writes. "Be true to yourself and play from a position of strength. A little self-awareness can go a long way in crafting a value proposition with power."
Last year I became fascinated with the idea of product stories and wrote about the idea of why storytelling should be applied to the product development process. Since then, I've watched the topic of storytelling spread across industries. I've spoken with technologists, filmmakers, venture capitalists, professors, and designers alike. Everyone is talking about storytelling. It belongs to no single industry—it has no borders. It carries power and passion and can evoke the empathy and emotion required to create a personal connection. I've become obsessed with the power of story. When it comes to the quality of the experiences and products we create, ultimately, if we aren't creating the right story, then it doesn't matter how well we try to tell it.
I don't have a magical process for understanding your personal life story and identifying how it can influence what you make. But what I do know is that to see people's stories, we have to stop being distracted by looking at each other and getting caught up on the thrill of competition. We exert too much energy trying to compete on execution. And, although there's certainly opportunity there, we're missing out on a chance to truly invent and to be inspired by the experiences and interests that we know best—our own.
So today, take some time out to consider your personal story. How can the passions, interests, and experiences in your life provide unique perspective? What has your journey afforded you to be an expert in? How have the challenges that you've faced equipped you with a deep understanding of a problem that needs to be solved? What experiences have influenced you the most? What ideas own your mind—from childhood until now? Study your personal story and allow it to help you create a better story for the people who use the experiences and products you create today and the ones you have yet to imagine.

Sarah, thanks for emphasizing the importance of "knowing your own story first." Humans tend to be very interested in the background, context and motivations of others. Maybe that's why the About Us page is one of the most frequently read pages on websites.
It's also why the "twitter as radio dispatch" story you shared adds so much depth to what most people saw as another SMS texting solution. What do others think? Does the back story matter this much?
Andrew Nemiccolo
Seven Story Learning
Sarah -- thank you again for writing such a fabulous article! I agree -- people don't know where to focus when working with stories in business. Your points are right on.
I like your article so much that I've brought it into my curated content on business storytelling. It will be published tomorrow (Oct. 3) and you can see it here at www.scoop.it/t/just-story-it.
In fact, I also curated your other article why storytelling should be applied to the product development cycle and love that one also!
Enjoy and have a great day :)
I'm wondering what the real need is for storytellers in UX. I've been reading articles about the necessity of storytellers but don't ever see this need in job forums/sites, etc. I would love to be on this side but don't know how to do it. I fully believe that storytelling is part of any experience--customer experience, user experience--because of the personal aspect and empathy in storytelling. This is my strength, now how do I provide this value to UX?
@sarahdoody good article again. I wanted to know what should you think an entrepreneur should do if he/she working on a product which has not been a big part of your life story. For example if he/she is a software developer and decide to work on a product for fashion designers. Just to make the point clear I will say that the product has a good market after analysis. Do you think it is essential for us (as software developers) to get someone on board from fashion industry? Or just speak to as many designers as possible to collect the experiences they have had? Now based on which option you select your final outcome may change.
Yes, indeed. Love this thinking, especially the bit about competitiveness.
But there's lots of models for personal story inspiring great new products...even if they're literary products.
You steal. Like crazy: not plagiarism, but to kickstart your own stuff. I find it really useful to see how something universal (like a failed love affair or getting fired) becomes particular in the hands of someone who knows their story...and then, if it's true, it becomes a universal again.
Without getting too pointyheaded, try this on for size.
The ancient Greeks took religious rituals predicated on
shared chant and choral narration and made them vernacular storytelling vehicles,
means of exploring conflict, drama, morality, human purpose. It would do Aeschylus or
Euripides no disservice to call them Western Civilization's first cause marketers: they
allied art with the exploration of social good.
Shakespeare and his Elizabethan colleagues (the radical cultural rebels of their day) did
the same thing with mediaeval histories and the politics of the century before: they took
the rituals of the miracle and history plays and rendered them vernacular, populist, and,
at their dramatic peak in Shakespeare's masterpieces (King Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth,
Romeo and Juliet) universal. They spoke emotional truth. That's the key to passion: truth.
This thinking begs a tantalizing question: if it were possible to somehow render the
storymaking process computable—to identify and reveal storytelling's inner emotional
logic and assign that logic computable values—might it not be possible to align human
invention and the power of collaboration in new modes, to co-create new products and services in new ways grounded in the complex emotional truths of great storytelling?
The tricky bit is that those of us who are professional storytellers (novelists, journalists, game designers, screenwriters) tend to be soloists. Sharing the core skills that expose the kinds of experiences others want to be part should be one hell of a lot more participatory---which raises a fascinating solution. Shared story is really the social currency of the web: it's how we meet, grow close, decide to collaborate and network further---and, I do believe, refine our own sense of ourselves.
Now there's an idea that hasn't seen light of day---sharing one's own story as a means of inspiring co-creation....one voice inspiring many inspiring one. Hmmm....

Scherzer, Tigers begin Interleague swing in L.A.
Haren takes mound for Dodgers, aims to cool down Torii's hot streak
American League pitchers have had little success cooling off Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter's bat so far this season. After an 0-for-9 start, Hunter has raised his average to .300 with home runs in each of Detroit's past three games.
"When you're hot, the ball slows itself down. It doesn't matter who's pitching," Hunter said Saturday. "You feel good, you have good at-bats. It started [Friday] with good swings and it just carried over. No matter who pitched, if I felt bad, then I'm going to be bad. Because I felt good, that's the way it goes."
Dan Haren hopes to make a difference when his Dodgers begin Interleague Play against the Tigers on Tuesday at 10:10 p.m. ET. Haren, who is 1-0 after allowing no earned runs through six innings in his first start, will face Max Scherzer, who threw eight innings of shutout ball in his 2014 debut.
Scherzer has been bunting since the second-to-last week of Spring Training in preparation for the early Interleague series. More recently, he has moved into the batting cages. During batting practice before Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Orioles, Scherzer hit a sharp line drive at his manager, Brad Ausmus, who was tossing at the time.
The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner said that the most important components to succeeding with his name in the lineup are getting a bunt down if needed and getting a feel for the strike zone. Scherzer has not had a plate appearance since August 24, when he doubled home a run in a win over the Mets.
Once the pitchers have adjusted to the strike zone, Scherzer said what follows is pitch recognition. To prepare, he'll have the coaches throw him plenty of offspeed pitches.
"It's a work in progress," Scherzer said of his swing. "But it's fun."
Scherzer will likely get plate appearances in two games out west, as his turn is scheduled to come up again against the Padres later in the trip.
"When [Interleague Play] comes this early in the season, you've got to get rid of your golf swing. ... "I've got to realize that I'm not coming around the ball anymore -- I'm staying inside the ball."
Haren, who spent six years pitching in the AL split between the A's and Angels, is 5-4 in 11 career starts vs. Detroit and will be making his home debut in a Dodgers uniform.
Tigers: Martinez likely to catch during Interleague trip
Detroit's Victor Martinez was away from his usual designated hitter position for the first time this season Sunday. He swapped with Miguel Cabrera, giving the slugger a break from fielding.
"Any time you're on the field, it makes you feel a little better," Martinez said. "But I understand my role: to get Miggy off his feet a bit."
Ausmus said before Sunday's game that Martinez should be expected to catch at least one game during the West Coast swing. Usual catcher Alex Avila was given the day off Sunday in favor of Bryan Holaday.
Dodgers: Beckett still an option to start Wednesday
Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett, on the disabled list with a bruised hand, was still a possibility to start next week after injuring his ankle in a Friday night Minor League rehab start, manager Don Mattingly said Saturday.
Beckett tossed a bullpen session Sunday, leaving him in the mix for a Wednesday return to oppose Detroit's Anibal Sanchez.
The Dodgers were pointing Beckett toward Wednesday night's game in hopes of giving extra rest to Hyun-Jin Ryu. Thursday is an off-day and, ideally, Ryu would be rested until Friday night.
If Beckett doesn't start Wednesday, the Dodgers would either give the ball again to Ryu on normal rest or call up a Minor Leaguer. Matt Magill started for Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, so it would be his regular day to pitch.
Worth noting
• With his first two punchouts Sunday, Justin Verlander claimed sole possession of fourth place on the Tigers' all-time strikeouts list with 1,675. He moved past Tommy Bridges.
• Hunter has now homered in three straight games for the fourth time in his career and the first time since May 17-19, 2010.
• The Tigers have homered in each of the first five games to start the season for just the fifth time in franchise history and the first since 2009.

MARINETTE, WIS. — US Navy leadership said it�s committed to the Littoral Combat Ship program in the face of budgetary concerns and questions about the ship program.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus told workers at Marinette Marine Corp. on Thursday that he � and the chief of naval operations � are behind the ship program and plans to buy 52 of the vessels designed to operate in shallow waters.
�I use this program as an example of what can be done and and how something that was, at the beginning, costly and had some problems, but working together we�ve lowered that cost dramatically,� he said. �We�re absolutely committed to building the whole class of 52 ships of this class.
�It�s the future of the Navy and the future of how we fight.�
Four of the ships are under construction at Marinette with funding secured for three more. Plans call for another four ships by 2015.
The Littoral Combat Ship program has been contentious at times in Congress and other circles. Cost has been called into question, as well as the early design and performance of the ship. The questions and concerns being raised about the LCS program are similar to those brought up at the outset of other naval programs that came to long-term fruition, Mabus said.
Development of mission-specific equipment for the ships have had a bumpy development so far, and earlier this summer a Government Accountability Office report suggested the Navy limit its purchases of ships and mission modules.
�We continue to believe that the acquisition approach for this program, with large quantities of ships and modules being bought ahead of key test events, is risky, especially for a new class of ship, like LCS,� the report stated.
The Navy says slowing the program could cause prices to rise and the mission packages are needed on ships that are operational.
Mabus said the per-ship cost of the program has come down from $750 million from the first ship built at Marinette and is expected to settle around $393 million by the 10th ship.
�There are people in the Navy who still don�t like LCS, and they don�t like it because it�s new,� he said. �That�s happened every single time we�ve built a new ship ... Every time we build a new ship people say it�s not going to work and every single time they�ve been wrong.�
The Littoral Combat Ship is a multi-mission ship designed to operate in shallower coastal waters.
The LCS program is split across two designs of the ship. Marinette Marine is building the Lockheed Martin version of the ship while Austal USA is building a different version of the vessel in Alabama.
Mabus said it�s his current �notion� is to continue to purchase both variants of the ship.
Marinette Marine Corp. is getting ready to add another 157 workers at the yard, which will push total employment over 1,500 in the next year, said Chuck Goddard, president and CEO.
The yard has been working with the Navy and lead contractor Lockheed Martin to find production efficiencies in the program to cut build time and costs. Shipbuilder and yard owner, Fincantieri Marine Group, has invested about $74 million in production facility improvements at Marinette.
�By the time we get done with the 10th ship under this contract, it will be half the price of what that first ship was,� Goddard said. �That�s the kind of learning we�re able to achieve here.�
Mabus said he would consider naming a future vessel after Marinette, though he added there are usually dozens of name choices and suggestions each time the question of naming comes up.
Nathan Phelps writes for the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Well, look who's meekly going along with the cover-up of crimes committed by the Muslim interloper from Kenya. It's none other than the Mitch man, as we see HERE:Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell addressed the conservative American Enterprise Institute on Friday to update a warning he issued at the same venue one year ago about President Obama�s supposedly anti-free speech administration.
But the subtext was actually quite different: McConnell effectively acknowledged to disappointed conservatives that recently revealed IRS malfeasance probably wasn�t the consequence of any direct action taken by the White House.

On Thursday's episode of The X Factor, one of the final four acts was sent home, while viewer votes sent the other three on to next week's final. Who made it through, and was the right act eliminated? Keep reading to find out.
The show opened with all four of the remaining contestants - Carly Rose Sonenclar, Tate Stevens, Fifth Harmony and Emblem 3 - singing J. Cole's "I'm Coming Home" together.
What was the best show of 2012?
With no sing-off and only one act getting axed, it was a pretty fluff-filled hour that consisted mostly of a recap of Wednesday's songs - during which Simon Cowell said it would take a "miracle" for his group Fifth Harmony to overcome the other three acts and earn a spot in the final. (He's right, but ouch!)
But wait - not so fast. Hosts Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez trickled out the Safe acts throughout the evening, and Fifth Harmony was named as the first act to go through to the finals midway through the broadcast. No doubt the announcement came as a shock, as the quintet was in last place going into the semifinals. (It also resulted in Britney Spears giving what might be the best "Britney face" of the entire season, looking like she had just eaten something foul.)
The next act deemed safe, somewhat less surprisingly, was Stevens, who was ranked in the top spot heading into the semifinals. That likely reassured L.A. Reid, who announced Thursday that he'll be leaving the show after this season and would probably love to exit with a victory.
L.A. Reid leaving The X Factor, says he will "miss" the show
Bruno Mars and Bridgit Mendler also gave performances before the elimination proceedings officially began, with only Sonenclar and Emblem 3 left in the lurch. Which one was dismissed?
After much fanfare, Lopez announced that Sonenclar was safe. "I can't wait to buy your album," the 13-year-old graciously told Emblem 3.
What do you think of the results? And who will you be rooting for in the final - Fifth Harmony, Tate Stevens, or Carly Rose Sonenclar? Weigh in below!

I was online and I saw lt surfboards online and was about to pick up a mini mail and maybe another fish. How is the quality of the boards? They come from LA. Are cut outs or hand shaped? Has anyone ridden one? How do they perform?
I was online and I saw lt surfboards online and was about to pick up a mini mail and maybe another fish. How is the quality of the boards? They come from LA. Are cut outs or hand shaped? Has anyone ridden one? How do they perform?
that looks like a pop out any board brand new 295 is pretty much made in china. and considering they are only sold on ebay i will definitely say it is a pop out. all boards float, all boards ride, but seriously i really think you need to figure out what you want slow down and dont be so impulsive, as i can recal you now went from shaping, to beater, to stewart, to shaping, to a gun, now to LT. all different shapes and designs. So lets settle this, What do you want to do with your surfing, how do you want your next board to progress your surfing, what do you want this board to accomplish, what are your dimensions. lets start there.
I want to learn how to do like cutbacks, airs and progress with better technique in turning and making the drop on bigger days. I want this board to easily catch small waves and still handle head high to head and a half and let me learn the maneuvers I stated above. I am 5' 11" 135 pounds, 13 years old and goofy footed.
Yeah it's hard because I don't have the money for a 600 dollar board.
ok so you want a grovling shortboard... basically. and as i have said before talk to a local shaper, but at your weight and height something around 5'5-6'0" x 19"-20" x 2 1/8-1/4". Let's put it this way.... a good old saying by one of the greats in the business. Quality doesn't come cheap or quickly. If you want it Quick it wont be cheap, and if you want it Cheap it wont be quick. If your paying $200.00 for a pop out i can assure you it will most likely not help you in progressive surfing. Their are plenty of boards out there new and used for less than $600
I don't have any local shapers that I know of.
I'd look into a rocket fish for what you want to do with your surfing.......If you let us know where you are located someone on here will know a shaper close to you. Have a little faith.
man, do a little research, find a local shaper. stop being lazy, you wont get too far in life that way kid.
A good board for you is Hague surfboards local shaper in delaware love his boards have 2 of his boards and can handle size im not into airs or anything like that yet but turns great and good with cutbacks fun boards!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for a new board have alot that I dont want.

SUBJECT: Wildcats Pick Up First Win of 2013 But Split Baseball Doubleheader with St. Thomas Aquinas
The Wilmington University baseball team earned its first victory of the 2013 season but split Sunday's doubleheader against St. Thomas Aquinas, 3-2 and 5-10, to lose the opening series of the year at Diamond Nation.
Senior Brandon Payne hit a one out single in the bottom of the eighth, scoring Joe Marciano who hit a leadoff double, breaking a 2-2 tie in the first game of the doubleheader. Marciano's run held up as Nick Marics came on in the top of the ninth and only allowed a one out walk before Matt Lopes threw out a would be base stealer, sealing the Wildcats' (1-2) first win of the 2013 season.
Game two of the doubleheader did not go as well, however, as St. Thomas Aquinas (2-1) used a five run sixth inning to turn a 5-2 game into a 10-2 lead, putting the game out of reach. The Spartans also defeated the Wildcats in the first game of the doubleheader on Friday, taking the season opening NCBWA East Region Preseason Top 10 series. St. Thomas Aquinas was voted seventh while the Wildcats were voted fourth in the preseason poll.
Senior right-hander Dave Hatt tossed six innings in his first outing of the season, settling down after allowing two runs in the first inning. He allowed three hits, all coming in the first inning, while striking out four batters. He came out of the game at the end of the sixth with the game tied 2-2.
Rob Gore came on and threw a scoreless, hitless seventh inning, striking out one batter before turning it over to Tyler Fries. Fries tossed another scoreless inning, striking out a pair, allowing the bats to come alive to take the lead.
Marciano led off the inning with a double and reached third base as Sam Goines laid down a sacrifice bunt. Payne stepped in and roped an RBI single, putting the Wildcats ahead, 3-2.
Payne finished the first game with two hits and two RBI's, knocking in the team's first run on a double in the fourth inning. Jordan Johnson, Marciano, and Brendan Fallers counted for the team's five hits.
In the second game, Josh Hampton went 2-for-4 with a three-run homerun, but the Wildcats only collected three hits as the Spartans pulled away with seven runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
Sophomore Ray Gambone got the nod on the mound, going four innings while giving up three runs on five hits. He struck out two Spartans in his first outing of the season, but left the game in a 3-2 deficit and the Wildcats could never recover, as Gambone was saddled with the loss.
Trailing 1-0 after the top of the first, Johnson tied the game with the use of his speed on the base paths, as he led off the inning with a walk. After advancing to second on a wild pitch, the senior moved to third on an error by a catcher and scored on an error by the center fielder to tie the game.
The Spartans took the lead back with two runs in the third inning, and the Wildcats could only cut the deficit to as close as one run the rest of the way.
Trailing 10-2, Hampton tried to bring the Wildcats back in the sixth inning with his first blast of the season. Fallers led off the frame with a walk before Jon Castro put runners on first and second with a one out single. Hampton stepped in and launched a three-run shot to bring the score to 10-5, but that's all the Wildcats would manage in the inning.
Wilmington has a quick turnaround from its season opening series, returning home to open its home schedule on Tuesday. The Wildcats will square off against NCAA Division II Defending National Champion West Chester in its home opener at Wilson Field starting at 3 p.m.

Here are the image quality results for Sony's newest member of the NEX family.
The NEX C3 is a Hybrid with an SLR-sized sensor. This sensor is a newly developed 16.2 megapixels APS-C dubbed "Exmor" that has long been rumored to be the same as the one powering the acclaimed Sony A580 and the Pentax K5. In theory, we should get the same IQ as the aforementioned DSLRs with just an entry-level camera. Let's see if this is the case…
Sony NEX C-3 vs the previous Sony NEX 3 improvements in every aspect.
In this comparison it is the Sony Nex C3 that takes the lead in regards to its predecessor, the Sony NEX 3
DxOMark Score, on Portait, Landscape and Sport (lowlight), every metric goes a nudge up.
Looking at the details, the noise is clearly better on this new camera by 1/3 TStop.
See the full comparison of Sony NEX C3 vs Sony NEX 3
You also can compare it with the Sony EX 5 here: Sony NEX C3 vs NEX 5
Sony NEX C-3 vs Sony A580 vs Pentax K5 vs Nikon D7000: is it really the same sensor?
The scores say no, but our measurements loudly say yes, this is the same sensor but it has been tuned differently:
On the other hand the Sony NEX C3 should be able to provide the same Image Quality scores in High ISO (the lowlight ISO Score is of 1083).
See how does this camera's image quality fares when compared to much larger DSLRs:

The SD card standard organization should have done a mechanism of indicating a file system, describing what file system is on the card instead of having this nonsense.
This way we can have both:
- for older systems you can use older file systems with less code change
- for newer systems you can use newer file systems with better features, better adapted for the use case.
- makes the standard simpler and easier to implement for hardware makers

External media in all Windows versions is disallowed to be partitioned.
There seems to be some kind of a flag for the USB driver, which switches between "harddisk" and "usbdisk" modes.
Under Linux there is no such exception, but any usb drive with partitions will *not* be recognized by Windows.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Attach any USB disk to Windows and open Disk Management
2) Note, that you can't create partitions, regardless which FS.
1) Attach any USB disk to Linux and create at least one unformatted partition without filesystem.
2) Attach this USB disk to Windows and note that the drive will not be recognized.
3) If you delete the partitions, Windows will recognize the drive again and follow restriction 2 above.
Personally, I find the global adaption of JFFS2 would be more than adequate.

Windoze does recognize the first partition. I have a lot of sticks with fat32 as the first partition and ext* as the subsequent ones.
Heh this is not always the case, my usb hardrive are not recognized in windows with 2 partitions in it. First one being fat and other being ext3. I have to use ext2ifs software for mounting my fat partition to windows. Maybe it has something to with fact that I have partitioned it under linux.
I don't understand how this helps the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of devices currently in use.
I don't understand how adding cost and complexity to both the drive and the socket "makes the standard simpler and easier to implement". The modifications of which you speak would require an extra signal, which would entail another pin in the socket, another landing on the drive.
You seem to be forgetting that MOST of the SD sockets out there are mounted in VERY VERY DUMB EMBEDDED SYSTEMS. They are cameras and MP3 players and the like. They are NOT general purpose computers, they do NOT have endless RAM for more and more code and more and more file systems. These systems are TOTALLY MINIMAL and there is simply no room or development time or inclination or whatever to make changes like this that have very very little upside and lots and lots of downside.
And besides all that, WHO THE FUCK says you HAVE to put ONE SINGLE PARTITION on the drive??? SD cards are just plain generic block devices, you can partition them and put as many different file systems on them as you want. Heck you can just open the raw block device and treat it as one big file if it flips your switch.
