Nintendo's current president and regular spokesperson for Nintendo's online press conference, "Nintendo Direct," Satoru Iwata spoke today at an analyst presentation meeting on Nintendo's plans for the upcoming business year. During the presentation, Iwata spoke of his "commitment" to a business profit goal of ¥100 billion (US$ 1.1 billion) by the end of the next business year ending in March, 2014.
Iwata commented on Nintendo's 2-year consecutive losses saying the he "feels strongly responsible." With that in mind, Iwata explained his basis for meeting the new goal starting with "plans to release strong sellers like the new Pokémon game on the hand-held Nintendo 3DS."
With the Wii U losing momentum in sales after being released just last year, Iwata also revealed plans to unify Nintendo's portable console and home console development teams.
When asked how he would take responsibility if Nintendo did not meet this profit mark, Iwata replied "I ask that you understand my use of the word 'commitment.'" Strong words, which in Japan's linguistic culture of saying what you mean without saying what you mean has some in the Japanese news media speculating that Iwata is hinting that he may step down as president if Nintendo doesn't meet its goals.
Iwata has been both a leader and a charismatic icon for Nintendo. Praised by former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi as "a man with both development and management skills," he managed to become president of Nintendo at the young age of 43. As understandable as Japan's cultural custom of "taking responsibility by stepping down" is, it would be a shame if Iwata were to go that way. That might be a little too direct.

Your Favourite Gear Ratio
81 posts
• Page 1 of 4 • 1, 2, 3, 4
Your Favourite Gear RatioI've been riding around my Raleigh Royal Tourer as a utility/commuting bicycle and I tend to find that I stick to one gear most of the time.
44t biopace chainring (does that make any difference?) 17t sprocket 27" x 1-1/4" wheels 70.1 Gear Inches 5.2 Gain Ratio (This is roughly the same as 42/16 on 700 x 28c wheels if that is easier to relate to) Calculated with to Sheldon's Gear Calculator. I do shift down and make use of larger sprockets when climbing some hills, but this is the gear I use for most riding. I could probably go single-speed with a similar or slightly lower gear ratio if I had the resources to spare to build yet another bicycle. Martin Christopher Hartley
http://raleightwenty.webs.com - the top web resource for the Raleigh Twenty http://madmartysblog.blogspot.com - my cycling adventures
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioI am reasonably new back to cycling (15 years) and getting fitter again except for 6 week lay off because of a broken wrist.
I ride 42/52 front with 19/18/17/16/15/14/13/12 8 speed rear. I usually use (700c x 23) 42/15 (73.6") and go up to 42/14 (78.8") if conditions are favorable, or down to 42/16 (69.0") when they are not. Back in my younger days I rode (narrow tubular) 46/52 front with 18/17/16/15/14 5 speed rear. I used to ride from one side of Brisbane to the other in 46/16 (75.8") for pretty much all of the trip and only change up or down one tooth on the rear (71.4 or 80.9) in a couple of spots. My first gear was 67.4" and I could get over any hill in that gear, including Mt Cootha faster than anybody else, and that gear set gave me 98" top gear but I nearly never used it except for big descents. In my experience spinning a lower gear (100 cadence is my usual, sometimes down to 90, sometimes up to 110) will get you further and faster than pounding an overly big gear. Your gearing sounds about right given that you are running heavier rims and tyres than what I ride now and rode in the past. A 2" change (certainly 4") change in gearing can make a world of difference, so be prepared to change the front ring to get exactly the ratio that you want. I have a Repco with Biopace rings that I have recently single handedly (joke) restored, but I have not tried it out just yet. There are all sorts of views on Biopace rings and similar shapes, including arguments that the Biopace rings should be rotated away from the Shimano designated alignment. I have not tried any of these rings so I am unable to comment either way. Eric. Newer does not automatically mean betterer.
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio42x17 on 700c/23 -that's a fixed gear bike
46x20 on 700c/37 -that's a multi-speed bike, yet the gearing is very similar to the fixie. hmm
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio42/17 fixed, cause thats all its got.
I seem to hang around in 53/19 on the roadie a whole lot. Jim MY RIDES: My Velospace Profile
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio70 gear inches is a good place to start when going singlespeed or fixed. From there you can play around and adjust.
Don't forget that the bike will be slightly lighter getting rid of all those gears, so if you are comfortable with 70 gear inches on the tourer, I'd stick with that and see how you go.
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio
That's a good way to wear out a cassette prematurely. Especially if it's of the 'newer' style with half height teeth. My choice of gear depends upon my energy levels, terrain, wind and current speed. I have a Shimano Nexus 8 speed hub, and find that I'm tending to use gears 3 thru 8 over the length of my commute, probably spending most time in either 6th or 7th (80 or 92 inches).
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio
6-speed screw-on freewheel, steel sprockets with old-school tall teeth. Shifting gears sounds like this: clikity, clickity, clickity CLUNK! I also had the fore-sight to buy two more of them as spares. I own duplicates of most wearing parts, including all the running gear. Martin Christopher Hartley

Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioI've currently got a 17T fixed cog on a 42T Biopace chainring. 23x700c tires at 120PSI.
90% of the time it's a good ratio for the roads I am riding. Might look into a higher gearing setup like 42x15 in the future. Check out my practical cycling and cycle touring website: VELOPHILE AUSTRALIA
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioI am an older bloke and I ride 42X19 or 18 on the flip flop hub with 28X622 tyres.
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio52x17 80GI Singlespeed that is regularly used on 42km commute, max gradient 5%, no climb more than 400m long, good for 32-35kmh.
my blog Nick Cowie, member of Peel District Cycling Club
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio55/20t + 170mm + 28c = 73"
Seems to cover me for most routes.
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioWas running 44/17 fixed but swapped out to 44/18 fixed as my commute and local streets are appaulling. I cross 3 train lines, 6 roundabouts and travel along a very neglected and corrugated main road.

Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio
Fair enough. I've got a 17T cog on my fixed side and a 18T cog on my freewheel side, so I'll be able to check out the difference once I actually bother to try out the SS side. Mind you I am running it on a 42T Biopace chainring so I have a bit less resistance. Check out my practical cycling and cycle touring website: VELOPHILE AUSTRALIA
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioI'm on 46-17 with my Ricardo SS. 73 GI roughly, pot luck really that it works out so well for my trips about Adelaide, seems like a big decision when you're new to it all (like I was) and about to part with cash for cranks and cogs, but ultimately, aiming for a conservative 70 GI, give or take, you can't go wrong.
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioHTFU get one of these
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratioon the track (all gear inches) -
Warm up 86 General purpose 92 sprints 89 pursuits/long time trail 94 motor pace 96/98 I ride several bicycles, but not at once.
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioOn the flat I have never managed to ride happily on a gear much more than 83 gear inches, so I figure that you must be using some skinny tyres and be riding on flat ground to be using gears approaching 100 gear inches (My tourer has a top gear of about 94 gear inches).
Martin Christopher Hartley
http://raleightwenty.webs.com - the top web resource for the Raleigh Twenty http://madmartysblog.blogspot.com - my cycling adventures
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioAround 65-70" is good. Better to have 65" for hilly areas.
My SS has a double freewheel on one side and fixed sprocket on the other, so I have the choice of 65", 73" or 77". Mostly I use 65" and the 73" if I do a flatland ride. The new Thorn Nomad has 14 gears but the 1:1 ratio is the 11th (the gear you should use most often) and with 42-16 on a 26" wheel it makes it 67.6"- so a very similar riding gear to the SS. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Your Favourite Gear RatioI suppose after a while, most of us would accumulate a collection of chain rings of varying sizes plus a few rear sprockets as well. We could then change them around to suit the conditions. Now, if we could just take the spare ones with us when we go cycling and swap them over when we go up or down hills it would improve our cycling. Maybe, instead of carrying them around in our backpack, we could mount them together on the axles or cranks and devise some way of moving the chain from one to another ......
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio
not original, and i'm sure we have all heard this many times before.....
Re: Your Favourite Gear Ratio
Made me chuckle anyway

Well, a BRZ in the winter isn't the greatest, but these tires are very nice. They are fantastic in snow. I can go up steep hills with no problems, and they take turns very well. When the road is dry, and cold, these are performance rubber. They hug the road very well. The grip is much better than the oem summer tires I have. Rain, too, while not amazing, they are above average. Ice I'd say they aren't that great, but that could be my car also. The only time I had problems this winter was when there was 25cms of snow. Then because my car is so low, I'm basically plowing the snow while driving, and I got stuck a few times. Anything under 20cms, is a piece of cake. I'm not just driving in the snow, I'm driving hard. Hard into the corners, hard off the line. Very nice tires, and nice value. I would buy these again.

I use these on my wifes Mazda5. She often has my children in the car with her and I feel they are safe in the winter months here in New England. Before I let her drive in the snow with them I take the initial drive and get on it pretty hard. Have not been able to lose control yet. Love the tires and will replace them with the same most likely after this winter. This is our 3rd winter with these so it'll be time to replace them.

Phoronix: Valve Releases New Steam Figures For March
Valve has released new Steam user survey data for March 2013. Interestingly though, the Linux usage hasn't risen but rather appears to be stagnant or on a decline...
I go into a little more depth here: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/article...goes-down.1877
Including showing some oddities with the survey.
I believe the numbers will rise again once some of the newer source-engine powered Valve titles are out.
The soda maybe great but where's the spiced chicken.
If you want people to come to your fast food outlet, then make sure there are items on the menu.
Get the analogy...
Without knowing how they are rounding there is no way to prove this, but I think part of the decline is due to breaking Linux up into individual distros. We got a bump up when they finally sorted out most of the "other" category, but they have also broken Linux up into more distros since then. What if they are flooring to the nearest .01, if that is the case then a fair few of those 0.00% distros could be actually closer to 0.009 and if that is the case also all the other distros can be losing nearly as much in their representation. There are ~19-22 Linux distros listed as 0.00%, and some of "other" can still be some odd ball distros that aren't being accounted for properly yet.
Another thing I am curious about is survey participation. I have yet to ever be asked to be in the survey from my Linux client, yet it seems every month I am asked to be in it for my Wine client, despite only running Stream through Wine a couple times a month while my Linux client gets run nearly every day. Are all Linux clients being added automatically or has my system never been counted as part of the Linux numbers since November?
[EDIT: I did some counting, and it looks like there are about 47 Linux distros being counted in the survey, not including anything in "other" that may or may not be Linux. If they are each losing on average 0.005% to chopping things down to the 100th place, that would add up to roughly another 0.24% which would bring us back up to just shy of 2% again.]
Last edited by IanS; 03-30-2013 at 09:40 AM.
Another thing comes to mind as well, didn't they run that TF2 Linux exclusive item in February? Could be some folks who installed Linux and Steam just to snag the collectable might have got counted as well, leading to an unnatural boost last month.
oh, I would have loved to play - but the last steam client update now wants libsdl 2.0.
I don't have that....
So I am out.
Thanks for breaking, Valve.

Focus works with current and former professional cyclists to develop and test their bicycles. Their bikes are designed by pros, for pros. Focus has (what they call) the German Advantage. Their production and administrative facilities are located in Cloppenburg, in Lower Saxony. Focus continually implements the newest and best manufacturing methods and invests in the best machinery and most skilled manpower.
Ah, the Focus Super Bud 4.0! It's a rare find. The Super Bud 4.0 is a high quality bike with high performance parts at a very affordable price. The Super Bud 4.0 was designed with the marathon rider in mind. The hydroformed aluminum frame provides maximum efficiency and is aesthetically pleasing. Zip and zoom through tight turns, and power through the straight aways. The only part about the Super Bud that's green is its color. However, it is your competition that will be green with envy once they come up against you.
The Super Bud 4.0 is dressed in components of immaculate quality. The RockShox XC 30 TK RL features a handlebar lockout. With the push of a button you'll be able to lockout your fork for a monster climb, then unlock it to head back down the face of the mountain. The 100mm of travel is provides enough suspension for traveling down-hill comfortable, and the climb uphill easy as pie. To compliment the fork, Focus chose the RockShox Bar rear shock. The RockShox Bar absorbs the bumps and jumps to provide you with a pleasant riding experience. The Super Bud has a full 10 speed drivetrain. SRAM X7 shifters are paired to a SRAM X7 front derailleur and SRAM X9 rear derailleur. Together, this system works together to provide you with an adequate gear ratio for any riding situation. Magura MT2 hydraullic brakes were chosen to help moderate your speed, as you are flying down the hill.
Please note that this is the US version of the Super Bud and differs from the European frame design

Comments about Focus Super Bud 4.0 Bike 2012:
First time buying a FOCUS bike all my other bikes have either been Specialized or Cannondale. I must say how impressed I am with this bike after a year of constant use. Great Durability, the geometry and quality of the frame is like that of a bike twice its price. The value of the component group is unmatched. I have now become a new FOCUS consumer. Highly recomended to anyone that has a $1000 budget and wants the best bang for your buck. Cant go wront with this FOCUS

Is a really nice bike for the price, good components, works perfect in the mountain for ascending and descending, weights around 13.8 kg in small size with pedals, for the price you will not find a better full susp bike, My only complaint is that you can't block the rear suspension, other then that I will recommend.
The guys in focus bikes USA answer me all my questions regarding this bike, perfect customer service from focus and jenson.

Comments about Focus Super Bud 4.0 Bike 2012:
Bought this as a gift for my wife. I like that Focus used SRAM x9 and x7 shifting components with the 3x10 drive train. The Magura brakes are an upgrade when compared to some cheaper brands you see on most entry-level full suspension bikes. The front and rear shocks are a little lower in quality than I would like, but they seem to be just fine for my wife, who is a light-weighted rider. The frame is light and appears to be very well built. The sale price of this bike hits the mark. Overall, we are both very pleased with the purchase. I would have given this bike 5 stars if it had used a Fox fork and rear suspension, and next-level Magura brakes. To make those upgrades of course, would have meant more $$.

(Friday, December 28th) Final Score: LA Clippers 116, Utah 114 Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Chris Paul scored 29 points, including the deciding free throws in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, as the Los Angeles Clippers put together a fierce rally in the second half to down the Utah Jazz, 116-114, on Friday. Blake Griffin added 22 points and 13 rebounds, while DeAndre Jordan also contributed a double-double with 16 points and 10 boards for the Clippers, who extended their franchise-best winning streak to 16 games. The Clippers' 16-game winning streak is the longest in the NBA since the Boston Celtics won 19 straight during the 2008-09 campaign. "It was a good test. It is always a test for us and at times we didn't play our best basketball by getting beat in the open court. Those are things we usually do to teams," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Give Utah credit, but our guys battled back tonight. They found a way to win and that's what it is all about." Randy Foye scored a season-high 28 points to pace the Jazz, but his tightly contested 3-pointer as time expired rimmed out to hand Utah its sixth loss in eight games. Al Jefferson finished with 22 points and eight rebounds, and Gordon Hayward dropped in 17 points off the bench in a losing effort. The Clippers trailed, 58-48, at the half and fell behind by as much as 19 in the third quarter before a 21-5 run closed their gap to 79-76 with just under two minutes left in the third. Paul's fadeaway jumper at the buzzer brought Los Angeles within 88-84 entering the fourth quarter, where Caron Butler capped a 6-2 push with a four-point play to knot the game at 90-90. Utah responded with five straight points to go back on top, but the Clippers would stay within two possessions from there until Jordan's three-point play was followed by a Jamal Crawford layup to give Los Angeles a 109-106 lead with 3:09 remaining. Four consecutive points by Jefferson gave the Jazz back a one-point lead before a pair of Paul foul shots with 1:35 left in the game put the Clippers ahead for good. Utah then had a couple of chances to regain the lead, but Jefferson missed a floater from the lane and a contested Paul Millsap jumper rimmed out around a missed 3-point attempt by Paul to keep it a 111-110 game. The Jazz were able to tie the game at 114-114 on a pair of Jefferson free throws with 17.1 remaining, but Paul was fouled by Jefferson on the other end while driving toward the lane and he drained both foul shots with 3.4 seconds left. Foye grabbed the inbounds pass coming out of a timeout and tried to force a foul as he threw a shoulder into a defender while throwing up a 3-pointer, but he did not get the call and the shot banked off the rim to end the game. "We made some mistakes, but we fought our way through it and had a chance to win the ball game at the end. Unfortunately, they got a lot of free throws," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. The Clippers held a couple of four-point leads in the opening minutes of action until Paul capped a 9-4 spurt with a jumper to hand Los Angeles an 18-11 edge with 5 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter. Utah would get no closer than four points for the remainder of the frame and trailed, 29-22, heading into the second quarter, which the Jazz dominated by a mark of 36-19 en route to a 58-48 lead at the break. Hayward scored all of his 11 second-quarter points, including a personal 10-2 push, during a 15-2 run that turned a 34-31 deficit into a 46-36 advantage. Los Angeles shot just 37.5 percent from the floor in the second quarter and turned the ball over eight times, resulting in 13 Utah points. Game Notes The Clippers have now won three straight in Utah for the first time since 1980 ... Utah fell to 9-4 at home this season ... Both teams scored 38 points in the paint ... Butler finished with 14 points and Crawford had 12 for the Clippers ... Millsap scored 12 points for the Jazz. 12/29 01:40:25 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

I disagree, but if you think you're so sure about that why don't you explain it? I've read and re-read the history of Mageia, and I still don't see a GOOD reason for their efforts that answers my question. Again, just because the community wants to make it thrive, that isn't a good enough reason to make a new one. I'm sure the company wouldn't be against some outside assistance, and even if it were, as I've said before - its not that hard to just install/remove a few packages from another distro to get the exact same results.
Right, and as I've said before, I don't care if there's dozens of distros, as long as they're good and have something new or compelling to offer. For example, I think its perfectly acceptable for there to be a different ubuntu for each DE. There's enough changes to qualify as new distros. But I remember when I first got into linux about 5 years ago, the GNOME setups for ubuntu, mint, fedora, suse, and so on were all nearly identical. They had varying colors, some of them came with a different office suite or package manager, but otherwise they were pretty much all the same and it would only take a few minutes to change one of the distros to be almost exactly like one of the others. And yes I know you can argue that some of them have special features that only 1 distro may have, or some of them are more stable or cutting-edge than others, but in the end a desktop user just wants it to work well. Back to the gum analogy, the way its working now is if all these companies were shoved in the same room, they're arguing over what kind of packaging to use, whether that that be plastic, foil, or paper. They're still arguing but its an unproductive argument.In some cases, the different flavors of Linux are very distinguishable, and that's just from a user perspective. Even when the flavors are close, if you put the "employees" of a lot of these "companies" in the same room and told them to design and make gum, they would end up strangling each other before ever making a viable product.

Linux Containers
Linux Containers, or LXC, is a Linux feature that allows Linux to run one or more isolated virtual systems (with their own network interfaces, process namespace, user namespace, and power state) using a single Linux kernel on a single server.
As of Linux kernel 3.1.5, LXC is usable for isolating your own private workloads from one another. It is not yet ready to isolate potentially malicious users from one another or the host system. For a more mature containers solution that is appropriate for hosting environments, see OpenVZ.
LXC containers don't yet have their own system uptime, and they see everything that's in the host's dmesg output, among other things. But in general, the technology works.
Configuring the Funtoo Host System
Install LXC kernel
Any kernel beyond 3.1.5 will probably work. Personally I prefer the sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.9 as these have support for all the namespaces without sacrificing the xfs, FUSE or NFS support for example. These checks were introduced later starting from kernel 3.5, this could also mean that the user namespace is not working optimally.
- User namespace (EXPERIMENTAL) depends on EXPERIMENTAL and on UIDGID_CONVERTED
- config UIDGID_CONVERTED
- True if all of the selected software components are known to have uid_t and gid_t converted to kuid_t and kgid_t where appropriate and are otherwise safe to use with the user namespace.
- Networking - depends on NET_9P = n
- Filesystems - 9P_FS = n, AFS_FS = n, AUTOFS4_FS = n, CEPH_FS = n, CIFS = n, CODA_FS = n, FUSE_FS = n, GFS2_FS = n, NCP_FS = n, NFSD = n, NFS_FS = n, OCFS2_FS = n, XFS_FS = n
- Security options - Grsecurity - GRKERNSEC = n (if applicable)
- True if all of the selected software components are known to have uid_t and gid_t converted to kuid_t and kgid_t where appropriate and are otherwise safe to use with the user namespace.
- config UIDGID_CONVERTED
- As of 3.10.xx kernel, all of the above options are safe to use with User namespaces, except for XFS_FS, therefore with kernel >=3.10.xx, you should answer XFS_FS = n, if you want User namespaces support.
Kernel configuration
These options should be enable in your kernel to be able to take full advantage of LXC.
- General setup
- CONFIG_CPUSETS (on multiprocessor hosts)
- Networking support
- Networking options
- Networking options
- Device Drivers
- Character devices
- Unix98 PTY support
- Unix98 PTY support
- Network device support
- Network core driver support
- Network core driver support
- Character devices
Once you have lxc installed, you can then check your kernel config with:
# CONFIG=/path/to/config /usr/sbin/lxc-checkconfig
Emerge lxc
# emerge -av app-emulation/lxc
Configure Networking For Container
Typically, one uses a bridge to allow containers to connect to the network. This is how to do it under Funtoo Linux:
- create a bridge using the Funtoo network configuration scripts. Name the bridge something like brwan (using /etc/init.d/netif.brwan). Configure your bridge to have an IP address.
- Make your physical interface, such as eth0, an interface with no IP address (use the Funtoo interface-noip template.)
- Make netif.eth0 a slave of netif.brwan in /etc/conf.d/netif.brwan.
- Enable your new bridged network and make sure it is functioning properly on the host.
You will now be able to configure LXC to automatically add your container's virtual ethernet interface to the bridge when it starts, which will connect it to your network.
Setting up a Funtoo Linux LXC Container
Here are the steps required to get Funtoo Linux running inside a container. The steps below show you how to set up a container using an existing Funtoo Linux OpenVZ template. It is now also possible to use Metro to build an lxc container tarball directly, which will save you manual configuration steps and will provide an /etc/fstab.lxc file that you can use for your host container config. See Metro Recipes for info on how to use Metro to generate an lxc container.
Create and Configure Container Filesystem
- Start with a Funtoo LXC template, and unpack it to a directory such as /var/lib/lxc/funtoo.
- Create an empty /var/lib/lxc/funtoo/etc/fstab file.
- Ensure c1 line is uncommented (enabled) and c2 through c6 lines are disabled in /var/lib/lxc/funtoo/etc/inittab.
That's almost all you need to get the container filesystem ready to start.
Create Container Configuration Files
Create the following files:
Daniel Robbins needs to update this config to be more in line with http://wiki.progress-linux.org/software/lxc/ -- this config appears to have nice, refined device node permissions and other goodies.
Read "man 5 lxc.conf" , to get more information about linux container configuration file.
## Container lxc.utsname = funtoo lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/funtoo lxc.arch = x86_64 lxc.tty = 6 lxc.pts = 1024 #lxc.console = /var/log/lxc/funtoo.console ## Capabilities lxc.cap.drop = sys_admin sys_module mac_admin mac_override ## Devices # Allow all devices #lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = a # Deny all devices lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a # Allow to mknod all devices (but not using them) lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c *:* m lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b *:* m # /dev/console lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:1 rwm # /dev/fuse lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:229 rwm # /dev/null lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm # /dev/ptmx lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:2 rwm # /dev/pts/* lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 136:* rwm # /dev/random lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:8 rwm # /dev/rtc lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 254:0 rwm # /dev/tty lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:0 rwm # /dev/urandom lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:9 rwm # /dev/zero lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm ## Limits# lxc.cgroup.cpu.shares = 1024 #lxc.cgroup.cpuset.cpus = 0 #lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 256M #lxc.cgroup.memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes = 1G ## Filesystem lxc.mount = /etc/lxc/funtoo/fstab #lxc.mount.entry = proc /var/lib/lxc/example.org/rootfs/proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 #lxc.mount.entry = sysfs /var/lib/lxc/example.org/rootfs/sys sysfs defaults,ro 0 0 #lxc.mount.entry = /srv/share/example.org /var/lib/example.org/rootfs/srv/example.org none defaults,bind 0 0 ## Network lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.hwaddr = #put your MAC address here, otherwise you will get a random one lxc.network.link = br0 lxc.network.name = eth0 #lxc.network.veth.pair = veth-example
Read "man 7 capabilities" to get more information aboout Linux capabilities.
Above, use the following command to generate a random MAC for lxc.network.hwaddr:
# openssl rand -hex 6 | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/.$//'
It is a very good idea to assign a static MAC address to your container using lxc.network.hwaddr. If you don't, LXC will auto-generate a new random MAC every time your container starts, which may confuse network equipment that expects MAC addresses to remain constant.
It might happen from case to case that you aren't able to start your LXC Container with the above generated MAC address so for all these who run into that problem here is a little script that connects your IP for the container with the MAC address. Just save the following code as /etc/lxc/hwaddr.sh, make it executable and run it like /etc/lxc/hwaddr.sh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents your Container IP.
#!/bin/sh IP=$* HA=`printf "02:00:%x:%x:%x:%x" ${IP//./ }` echo $HA
none /lxc/funtoo/dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /lxc/funtoo/proc proc defaults 0 0 none /lxc/funtoo/sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /lxc/funtoo/dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777,rw 0 0
Initializing and Starting the Container
You will probably need to set the root password for the container before you can log in. You can use chroot to do this quickly:
# chroot /lxc/funtoo (chroot) # passwd New password: XXXXXXXX Retype new password: XXXXXXXX passwd: password updated successfully # exit
Now that the root password is set, run:
# lxc-start -n funtoo -d
The -d option will cause it to run in the background.
To attach to the console:
# lxc-console -n funtoo
You should now be able to log in and use the container. In addition, the container should now be accessible on the network.
To stop the container:
# lxc-stop -n funtoo
Ensure that networking is working from within the container while it is running, and you're good to go!
LXC Bugs/Missing Features
This section is devoted to documenting issues with the current implementation of LXC and its associated tools. We will be gradually expanding this section with detailed descriptions of problems, their status, and proposed solutions.
By default, lxc does not support rebooting a container from within. It will simply stop and the host will not know to start it.
PID namespaces
Process ID namespaces are functional, but the container can still see the CPU utilization of the host via the system load (ie. in top).
/dev/pts newinstance
- Some changes may be required to the host to properly implement "newinstance" /dev/pts. See This Red Hat bug.
lxc-create and lxc-destroy
- LXC's shell scripts are badly designed and are sure way to destruction, avoid using lxc-create and lxc-destroy.
network initialization and cleanup
- If used network.type = phys after lxc-stop the interface will be renamed to value from lxc.network.link. It supposed to be fixed in 0.7.4, happens still on 0.7.5 - http://firstname.lastname@example.com/msg01760.html
- Re-starting a container can result in a failure as network resource are tied up from the already-defunct instance: [1]
- Missing tool to graceful shutdown container. 'lxc-halt' should be written and be posix sh-compatible, using lxc-execute to run halt in container.
- Our udev should be updated to contain -lxc in scripts. (This has been done as of 02-Nov-2011, so should be resolved. But not fixed in our openvz templates, so need to regen them in a few days.)
- Our openrc should be patched to handle the case where it cannot mount tmpfs, and gracefully handle this situation somehow. (Work-around in our docs above, which is to mount tmpfs to /libexec/rc/init.d using the container-specific fstab file (on the host.)
- Emerging udev within a container can/will fail when realdev is run, if a device node cannot be created (such as /dev/console) if there are no mknod capabilities within the container. This should be fixed.

Just saw Hansel and Gretel this evening...campy fun! Some nice practical effects in there as well.
Picture this: The Expendables and its sequel make a ton of money. Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis are all hot commodities again. Sure they are getting old but, money is still money. If you are a Hollywood Studio Big Wig you would have to put these guys back into star vehicles again. These old war horses did it before, they can do it again.
Now picture this. You are the are the 20th Century Fox Executive that green lit Die Hard 5: A Good Day to Die Hard. Arnie's The Last Stand tanked as did Sly's Bullet to the Head. Are you getting nervous or doubling down that this is a franchise sequel?
The winner this weekend was the Zom-Rom-Com Warm Bodies (see Mania's review here). Box Office Mojo had this to say, historically, about the film and this weekend. "Including $520,000 from preview shows on Thursday, Warm Bodies grossed an estimated $20.03 million this weekend. That ranks seventh all-time among Super Bowl openings, and is generally in line with last year's Chronicle ($22 million) and The Woman in Black ($20.9 million). While it was also off a bit from Zombieland's $24.7 million, this is without-a-doubt a strong start for a unique movie that could have very easily been ignored on another weekend". - Ray Subers
After our review and these numbers, are you ready to take a chance on Warm Bodies?

This coming weekend is a strange mix for genre fans. Will you see Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects? Jet Li in The Sorcerer and the White Snake? Or will you feel the need, the need for speed and revisit Top Gun in 3D?
Just saw Hansel and Gretel this evening...campy fun! Some nice practical effects in there as well.
Stallone and Momoa were good in Bullet to the head, but the script sucked, the director sucked and Sung Kang had absolutely zero charisma or stage presence, it would've been better if they stayed with Thomas Jane for the role.
Every time I hear Stallone speak, I picture Elmer Fudd high on testosterone.
And Warm Bodies was great.
Didn't see anything. Still haven't seen 0Dark30, Last Stand, or Bullet To The Head. Including Parker, all these action movies doing badly bodes ill for Willis AKA our Roy Rogers "from a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne". The only think he has an edge on the others is that his is part of a famous franchise and hopefully Die Hard will do decent B.O.
No surprise that Bullet to the Head and Last Stand were flops. I'll see them eventually but they had that straight to video look from the previews. The latest Die Hard should do better than those two but I don't see it being a monster hit. The wife and kids want to see Warm Bodies so I guess we will sometime this week.
Didn't see anything this weekend but I may try to catch something during the week. Hey sometimes life gets in the way of my movies ;)
And yeah it looks like Sly and Arnie are proving that they're no longer big draws unless it's a team up. Or was it the movies and not the stars that turned people off. Guess we'll find out if Arnie makes another Terminator and Conan
I expect Willis to kick both their asses with the next Die Hard.
"Warm Bodies" was awesome!
A pot-pourri of elements that really had no right to gel... but they did! And beautifully, I might add!
Two thumbs waaaaay up!!!
I didn't see any movies over the weekend. But last Tuesday I finally saw Les Mis. It was a very good film but I wouldn't say it was the best of the year. It was a little off putting that there was no dialogue that wasn't sung. And they made a change to the ending that I think weakened it.
I am pretty sure Die Hard will do way better than the Stallone or Arny movies cause they just looked bad and Die Hard always looks good.
Wise - Im pretty sure that its just the movies that sucked. Stallone and Schwarzenegger can still be draws, especially with characters that have name recognition like Rambo and Conan...just like Die Hard will probably do well.
But Bullet to the Head sucked. I cant believe that director has a job and i cant believe they dropped Thomas Jane for Sung Kang. Stallone and Momoa deserved a better movie than this.
Havent seen The Last Stand though.

I saw somebody passed by.
I just dont understand the fact that why do these chinese political party members all dress alike at the ceremony:all in dark-colour suits,maroun ties and golden frame glasses? to show unity? or they just dont have any sense of dressing or is it the party's official policy?
that is just a tradition.And on the other hand,dark-colour suit can show that the occasion is formal.
I feel disappointed for a bit. Well ,maybe things can be changed five years later, but who knows? The elders , for example, Jiang and Li Peng, still have a good influence in China, which makes it really hard for Xi to start the reform. I have nothing to do but wait.
"Both will wield considerable influence: Mr Jiang, at the age of 86, probably even more than the 69-year-old Mr Hu. The membership of the Politburo Standing Committee, the party's ruling body, bears Mr Jiang's imprint."
it means that Core Jiang's still controlling the party behind the scenes?
I just really wanna konw why some people lable Wen as "Qin Kuai" the infamous traitor of ethnic Han,Though I do think this man is unbelievably disqualified as a PM based on what he have done last ten years.By the way,those people are clearly big fans of Bo according to their remarks in Weibo. I have got some clue,but who can present me a more detailed context?
It's "Qin Hui"... I've never heard people calling him that. "Best actor" is called for him to have promised so much but get so little done. Anyway, Wen was just a poor sheep in the mist of wolves. There was nothing more he could do about it. Bo, on the other hand, is a wolf. When he was in his office, he strengthened the power of local government against gangsters and corruption. His people love him for that. But regardless his intention, what he was doing could throw China back to Cultural Revolution again. That's a price neither China nor the world could afford.
Yes, Xi is from the Princeling.But he used to work in the farm/as a factory worker for 10 years during the cultural revolution. His life is not as smooth as many of you expected. I don't think China is ready for reform now. China needs to get richer and when people has more money in their pocket, they will demand more. Everything will come naturally when China grows.
The last paragraph touches the real issue. Given the growing uncertainty in world economy, increases in regional tension, strain in global resources supply, SAFE may well be one of the best option for the next five years.
Chelsea Clinton should soon be the next next US president.
Bo Guagua, your client, should be the next President of China.
Bo Guagua, your client, should be the next President of China.
Bo Guagua, your little boy friend, your puppet, sure you will help him to putsch CPC and you will be Emperor of China.
Every one knew that ...
So are Bush, Kennedy etc from US, various PMs from Japan. Based on Wiki material, about 70% or above Japan PMs can be counted as Princeling. Add all the Gandhi's from India, and Singapore's PM to the mix. China is really late for bring a princeling as the head of state.
HELLOOOO, --- PLU-LEEZE , give us a break
The Brits criticizing China for having a princeling for a President , When Half the British Parliament consists of Hereditary Peers or Princelings in the HOUSE OF LORDS
These members of the House of Lords are not elected by the people BUT inherit their seats ---and this had been the case from Day one of the day British Parliament began
BRITAIN -== King in the world ---of having the most number of Princelings in the House of Parliament ---half of Parliament
"AND I SAY, Old Chap=== that's not quite Cricket
AND BY THE WAY-- Harold Wilson (1970s), was the first Prime Minister to have come from a working-class background
Before him---all PMs were from the Nobility, aristrocracy UPPER UPPER CLASS
Question=== no working class girl has ever got married to any member of the Royal Family
The difference, old chap, is that the British elite don't have untrammeled power to rape and pillage the country, nor can they prevent the great unwashed like you and I from writing whatever we like about them. When you enter House of Lords into Google, you don't get a result saying: "In accordance with relevant laws and policies, search results cannot be displayed."
You and your ilk love to keep telling us that there's no difference between China and western democracies. But we know that's just not true.
Read this, educate yourself:
ARE you absolutely serious to say that the British Aristocracy has not raped or plundered the country yet ????
PLEASE -- all the British Dukes, Barons, Lord So=and-so, had already got millions of acres of prime British lands and properties --- and castles of course
This plundering and raping had been successfully completed centuries ago---after which they forced opium on the Chinese people and raped/plundered Africa/Asia
FORTUNE Magazine List of the World's Richest have the Queen of England at the top 5 wealthiest women
Stop your spread of mis-information
My dear fellow, you are right that Britain used to be a feudal society - just like China is today. The history of the development of parliamentary democracy is the history of the ascent of civil rights and rule of law and the restraining of powers that were once absolute.
Whereas in China, the political culture has not changed since the days when the absolute feudal emperor Mao Zedong inflicted persecution, famine and death on tens of millions of ordinary people.
Read this, educate yourself. Do you have nothing to say about it?
The silence is deafening
Chinese bros --- the Gwai Low is angry that a Ch**k dare to talk back to him
They are too used to being the MASTER in Hong Kong
HEY---BRITS---the SUN had set already --- get used to it
Read this, and learn how the Chinese "brothers" treat each other under the Communist system. Still got nothing to say about it? Your silence speaks volumes:
HELLOOOOO... stop your filthy lies that we Chinese people has ever claim that all is perfect in China
President Hu Jin-Tau himself had admitted in his official Chinese New Year Speech that "China is a developing nation with a lot of problems"
AND please stop saying that "You and your ilk claim that everything is the same in China and Western Democracies"
I never seen any Chinese blogger claiming that
The truth is Chinese system is different from Western Liberal Democracies =-- of course
We can't even be bothered to comment on things British ..
But since you are criticizing China ---how about one observation on British perfectness
Thousands of Brits "WHITE TRASH" from the lower caste goes off to Iraq and Afghan to fight and die to protect the Upper class interest
AND when the British University students demo in London last year --- and tried to block Prince Charles ROLLS_ROYCE--- the Prince's bodyguard was quoted as saying "I will shoot these scums if they touch the car"
OH COME ON===they are just poor students seeking justice and --- the Prince bodyguard threaten to shoot them
The Prince gets millions $$$$ State monies every year and these poor students get peanuts --- PEANUTS
You claim kinship with your Chinese "brothers" against the evil foreigners but most Chinese despise people like you and the nonsense you spout. Don't project your inadequacies on to the Chinese nation. They're smarter than you realise, and a lot smarter than you.
I disagree --- I KNOW that Chinese despise Gwai Low like you who interferes with our internal affairs --- who thinks they know what is good for China
LET ME tell you--- it is up to the Chinese people to decide what political system they prefer --- NOT a foreigner like you to lecture us
NO force in the world can prevent the Chinese people from choosing their future
Your ancestors used gun-boats to force opium on us--- now you use "threats" and insults to silence Chinese people who do not kow-tow to you low-born f**ked up gwai lows
SO== my point --- while I do not deny that you may speak freely about the Chinese system or criticize --- I laugh when you tell me your Hong Kong "Bananas" despise us
Of course these BANANAS have always despise Mainlanders --- they know they are WHITES --- even though it is 2nd class Whites but still more superior to mere Mainlanders
SURE--- HK bananas will flatter you English to say that even your farts smell sweeter than Chinese farts and your feces taste better than the best Mainlander cuisine
SURE -- these HK bananas pray every day that God will use magic to transform them into Anglo-Saxons
Why dont Mother-England just take in all the HK bananas who are dying to go to settle in the UK where they will find their PARADISE
These poor sods are suffering in HK---life for them in HK is Hell on earth
Yes, don't listen to me. Listen to the Chinese people:
This man has 64 million followers on Weibo. Who are you?
It's not only the Hong Kong people who despise people like you, it's the whole Chinese nation! Go on Weibo or QQ and spout your CPC nonsense, see the reception you get.
64 million readers, reading the truth!
Although 64 million Chinese people might have read the blog--- the majority may not agree with it
AND --- there are still the rest of the people , all 1.28 billion who still supports the Govt
I think in fairness the next time you write an article about a Bush or Kennedy running for office in the US you must call them a Princeling at least 3 times in the story.
Certainly the Princeling G. W. Bush did far more damage to the US than any Chinese Princeling has done to China since the time of Deng.
Don't expect western media to be fair in reporting and comments of which THE ECONOMIST is a part of the whole western media.
The bulk of western media such as Bloomberg, International Herald Tribune, New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek and many others inclusive of THE ECONOMIST are indirectly state sponsored propaganda in the western world though they are very advance in such matters and many can hardly detect the invisible hand from behind. The gullible believe that the western world has a free press.
The shadowy group of financiers that sponsor money to elections in the western world and subsequently controlling the phony elected governments are the same folks controlling the western media. So the phony elected governments and the media scratch each other's back and support each other marching in locked steps and tandem.
The western media is actually no different from state sponsored media like Russia Today (RT), CCTV (China Central Television) and Tehran Times. Whey they lambast Russia, China and Iran, its just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Xi Jinping looks like getting dead serious on tackling the problem of corruption.
As Hu Jintao emphasized on his departing speech, if the problem of corruption is not tackled, it will lead to the demise of the party and the state.
But how to tackle such problem? Xi said that the party has to restore the core belief -- those BS said by Marx and Mao.
But in reality how many party cadres still believe in those BS?
As Deng Xiaoping said: "Practice is the sole criterion of truth". It is quite easy to check if Xi puts his words into deeds.
When the victim from the next party struggle emerges, just check if that victim is alleged of corruption.
So far all the party cadres who lost in party struggle were all accused of corruption, but no party cadres lose in party struggle owing to corruption.
Mr. Bardamu, you seem to be very enthusiastic about this article because I have seen you posting it everywhere in this forum:
Mr. Li is surely a respectable character and this is indeed a great and remarkable speech. It surely reflects many problems of China.
If you are trying to advertise critical thinking of Chinese people and how China is having reform on progress, then I should thank you for your effort. But if you are posting it everywhere just because you want to persuade people that China is not good enough, It is going to have a reverse effect. Just because of the last line of this speech:" I will always criticize this country, because I never give up the hope on our nation." This really reflects the mind of all Chinese people.

Indeed, I am enthusiastic about this article. I wish that nkab, Jean Michel, smiley face tigger/east wind/wumaodang wushu, kommonsense, wolfgang21 etc etc would all read and ponder it deeply.
As George Orwell wrote: "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."
These people are truly too enthusiastic and behaves ungentlemanly sometimes, I wish to apologize for some of their misuse of inappropriate languages.
But I do hope you see that as a sign that Chinese people are now more wanting their voices to be heard. Which is exactly what this speech is trying to advertise and promote.

China has been able to grow at an average of 10% p.a over the past thirty years which is unprecedented in human history. Such high growth rates enable China to have many new degrees of freedom as to how to steer its future. In contrast, US politicians are mainly concerned with political freedom which essentially means freedom for the CIA to engineer 'regime change' in China. George Orwell should have written: "Freedom is the freedom to say No to the United States of America"
As George Orwell wrote: "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."
But what about people intentionally forget to tell there is another 1 between the line to cover his intention? :D
It is too easy to say 2+2 is four.
"it is too easy to say 2+2 is four."
If you can say this, you obviously don't know much about China's recent history. Through the years of the Communist Terror, from 1949-1978, through the Anti-Rightist campaign, the Hundred Flowers campaign, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, speaking the truth could and did cost you your life. People learned to lie, as a way of life. If you see people distended with edema dying of hunger in the street and the party secretary says "their bellies are full from our record harvests!", then you say "yes boss! Praise be Chairman Mao!" if you don't want to be tortured or beaten to death yourself as a right deviationist. 36 million people died this way because a tyrannical system gave people too much fear to speak the truth. Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Who is remembering in China?
I couldn't delete the repeated one, sorry.
Deng == It does not matter if the cat is black or white--- as long as it can catch the mice---it is a good cat
Why do we care if Xi is a princeling or not--- if he can get the job done ---and lead China to greater glory ---why not ?
AFTER ALL-- the Chinese peasant who led the rebellian that overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and started the MING DYNASTY was an uneducated peasant
ANCIENT CHINESE PROVERB--- what does it matter if the Lotus started its life ---as a lowly life in the dirty ugly mud, it ends up as a beautiful flower --- a most beautiful flower
One thing is certain: there will be no major political reform in China for the next ten years because China is not ready for political ready and it does not need political reforms, at least not the western countries democracy type.
Since 1978, China Presidents have been consistently better than their counterparts in the major countries. They are better trained and have more experience when they become President.
Moreover, China, unlike Japan and India did not suffer from frequent changing of leaders. In the case of Japan, we have the impression that they change their Prime Minister every year. Such changes create instability and lack of continuity.
In the case of the US, most of the President and Senators and Representatives are either lawyers or actors and they constantly have to follow the instructions given by their donors/benefactors. The latter are main the few large corporations whose interests diverge from those of the common American. No wonder, the foreign US policy is dictated by Isreal.
According to Deng Xiaoping, China should cross the river by feeling the stones under the feet. The stones confronting Xi and his team are corruption, gap between rich and poor etc. No doubt the new team will find solutions to these problems.
In contrast with the West, we note that:
1. The US is playing gridlock party politics resulting in impotence.
2. Japanese prime ministers have a half life of six months.
3. Germany, Australia and Britain have hung parliaments.
4. Many countries in the EU are in economic/political turmoil.
Clearly it is the Western democratic countries that need major reform, not China.
How about we all need political reform.
Germany is not a economic turmoil. We are doing just fine.
The Japanese Govtr have been having PRINCELINGS for Prime Ministers several times already in the past 60 years and CHINA only the first time
SHINZO ABE = princeling
TARO ASO = princeling
and some earlier ones
SIMILARLY--- Pres GEORGE BUSH the 2-term princeling--- the KENNEDYs
AND YET , this write-up single out CHINA
THis prove there is a blatant anti-China agenda
President Bush is rather a case of papa Bush followed by baby Bush.
First, Zhang's influence is not a surprise. Leadership planning tends to favor an every-other generation approach (gen 1 makes the most impact on gen 3) because gen 2 starts to form his opinions in preparation for leadership while gen 3 is new and just getting aligned to the politics. I would be shocked if Zhang's clique continues to dominate after the next round of leadership. Likely Hu's faction will begin to swell in the top ranks since that'll be the majority crop to pick from.
In this sort of leadership-driven system, the next gen is only as good as the previous gen is willing to cultivate. Sure, the product may be cautious in nature, but really, is cautious a bad thing?
I'm not sure Zhang Dejiang has managed to build up much of a clique yet. Presumably that's who you're talking about?
Well the western medias are chanting China collapse again and again...
Where is the Sandaman (散打Man)?
I am a Chinese, and I have faith in a better future.

Looks like the hit mans not as dumb as he sounds. got jumbo nailed. just get a match with him jumbo!!! add another can to your long list of FUTURE opponents. lol
Leon - the stuff about GCG having coaches who haven't fought MMA and us giving beer to the winners of our comp, that makes for far more interesting reading than your usual drivel. More of that type of thing please. Is there anything else you'd like to say?
If you are giving beer away as prizes, i'm going to train harder to win next year!!

Knocking cunts ott is the name o my game
Any other advice? I'm always happy to learn.

I'm always on the lookout for great websites I can utilize in my genealogy research. I found this one several months ago and I've started sharing it with all my genealogy friends. It is truly INCREDIBLE. It's Cornell University's Guide to African American Documentary Sources. Go diggin' around in these and you're bound to find something. It hasn't been updated in awhile, but there are lots of jewels here. Send me an email if you found something useful.
