Brothers in the instant replay
from Gil Scott-Heron – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised on Genius
The repetition here is ironic — a kind of "instant replay" of the vocals. And the point bears repetition for GSH, since in the late 1960s black riots (and the violent police response that followed) had become a staple of television news in the United States, ghetto violence repackaged as thrilling entertainment for the white middle classes.

There is a growing realization that entrepreneurs don't necessarily have to emerge from business schools—some emerge through other academic disciplines like engineering or music, some drop out of school to pursue their startups, and some avoid post-secondary education altogether. But that doesn't mean that entrepreneurs can't come from business schools. And if you ask business school students themselves, they would tell you that the Worcester Polytechnic Institute is at the top of the list.
When we last checked in on the performance of the venture capital industry, the dollars raised in 2012 continued to rise for a second-straight year even though the number of funds dropped. According to the latest numbers from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), that trend continued in the first quarter of 2013.

Players past and present look up to Tomlin
Tomlin was much harder on his players than Cowher was, so that became a sticking point. During his first training camp in 2007, in fact, the Steelers were in pads and hitting more often, running more, being forced to finish plays with more vigor during early fundamental drills.
"We were doing things that we weren't used to doing," Townsend said, "and that led to some complaining about how we were practicing and some of the stuff that was going on during practice."
They eventually put it all together enough to start out 9-3. But they stumbled down the stretch, going 1-4 including a 31-29 home wild-card playoff loss to Jacksonville. To date, that is Tomlin's lone postseason defeat.
After that first season, though, Tomlin became kinder and gentler. He pulled back the reins in training camp. And he often gives veteran players weekly days off from practice during the season.
"The great thing about Coach Tomlin is he learned us very quickly," said Townsend, now a talk show host in Pittsburgh. "Once he saw how hard we worked at everything else, he knew to back off in some of the other areas. That's a great trait for a young coach. Some coaches aren't willing to listen to their players.
"He was willing to adjust to us, but also keep his own spin on it."
He's spinning it all the way to Dallas.

Why is congress continuing to spend money when they could not even take the time to pass the 2012 Budget? This may be a good cause but it is not the right time. Everything else should be 'tabled' until they pass a full budget for 2012 (NOT just a continuing resolution.

Despite the absence of the international contingent, there's no holding back in Vinovo as the Bianconeri continue to work towards Saturday's clash with Inter
Juventus continued their build-up to Saturday night's Derby d'Italia encounter against Inter with an afternoon workout conducted at the club's Vinovo training base.
The absence of several players involved with their respective countries in this week's international games meant Antonio Conte was again unable to count on a full squad at his disposal.
But there was no letting up in intensity as the Bianconeri work towards surprising Inter in front of their own fans at the San Siro for a third season in succession.
Athletic work, technical exercises and positional play formed the main ingredients of today's session, with Juventus set to resume their preparations when they regroup for another afternoon workout tomorrow.

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

from Eminem (Ft. Dido) – Stan Lyrics on Genius
The point of this verse is to warn Stan against what the listener knows has already happened, but in this song Em has no idea. It is very clever since he obviously wrote the song, but is using himself as a character, not the one who created it.

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
C# requires that every method be in some class, even if it is a static method in a static class in the global namespace. Other languages allow "top level" functions. A recent stackoverflow post asks why that is.
I am asked "why doesn't C# implement feature X?" all the time. The answer is always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented and shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. All of them cost huge amounts of time, effort and money. Features are not cheap, and we try very hard to make sure that we are only shipping those features which give the best possible benefits to our users given our constrained time, effort and money budgets.
I understand that such a general answer probably does not address the specific question.
In this particular case, the clear user benefit was in the past not large enough to justify the complications to the language which would ensue. By restricting how different language entities nest inside each other we (1) restrict legal programs to be in a common, easily understood style, and (2) make it possible to define "identifier lookup" rules which are comprehensible, specifiable, implementable, testable and documentable.
By restricting method bodies to always be inside a struct or class, we make it easier to reason about the meaning of an unqualified identifier used in an invocation context; such a thing is always an invocable member of the current type (or a base type).
Now, JScript.NET has this feature. (And in fact, JScript.NET goes even further; you can have program statements "at the top level" too.) A reasonable question is "why is this feature good for JScript but bad for C#?"
First off, I reject the premise that the feature is "bad" for C#. The feature might well be good for C#, just not good enough compared to its costs (and to the opportunity cost of doing that feature instead of a more valuable feature.) The feature might become good enough for C# if its costs are lowered, or if the compelling benefit to customers becomes higher.
Second, the question assumes that the feature is good for JScript.NET. Why is it good for JScript.NET?
It's good for JScript.NET because JScript.NET was designed to be a "scripty" language as well as a "large-scale development" language. "JScript classic"'s original design as a scripting language requires that "a one-line program actually be one line". If your intention is to make a language that allows for rapid development of short, simple scripts by novice developers then you want to minimize the amount of "ritual incantations" that must happen in every program. In JScript you do not want to have to start with a bunch of using clauses and define a class and then put stuff in the class and have a Main routine and blah blah blah, all this ritual just to get Hello World running.
C# was designed to be a large-scale application development language geared towards pro devs from day one; it was never intended to be a scripting language. It's design therefore encourages enforcing the immediate organization of even small chunks of code into components. C# is a component-oriented language. We therefore want to encourage programming in a component-based style and discourage features that work against that style.
This is changing. "REPL" languages like F#, long popular in academia, are increasing in popularity in industry. There's a renewed interest in "scripty" application programmability via tools like Visual Studio Tools for Applications. These forces cause us to re-evaluate whether "a one line program is one line" is a sensible goal for hypothetical future versions of C#. Hitherto it has been an explicit non-goal of the language design.
(As always, whenever I discuss the hypothetical "next version of C#", keep in mind that we have not announced any next version, that it might never happen, and that it is utterly premature to think about feature sets or schedules. All speculation about future versions of unannounced products should be taken as "for entertainment purposes only" musings, not as promises about future offerings.)
We are therefore considering adding this feature to a hypothetical future version of C#, in order to better support "scripty" scenarios and REPL evaluation. When the existence of powerful new tools is predicated upon the existence of language features, that is points towards getting the language features done.
UPDATE: More thoughts on considerations motivating this potential change here.
I just want to echo some of the sentiments here. The benefits of scripting languages have been proven with Ericsson's derivation of Haskell and CCP's usage of Stackless Python in Eve Online. But in both cases, however, a part of that sucess is because those languages were developed, from the get go, to be scripting languages. C# is more along the lines of C++, Eiffel, and Java. It's better to keep the original design that has been through 4 iterations then to try and change it. If Microsoft wants to enter into the REPL language market, it would be better to devote reources to F# or just create .NET bindings for Haskell.
I guess I'm just joining the chorus, but --- please don't do this to C#.
Strongly agree with the CPU wizzard, please don't make C# something its not, make it easier to interop with everything else. (Just like the dynamic keyword makes it easy to call into dynamic languages without surrendering and becomming dynamic ourselves.)
Now that there are actually several genuinely distinct .NET languages out there, the next innovation needs to be in the project system. I would like to be able to include a F# class in my C# project, or even an F# method in my c# class. Assemblies can't have circular dependencies, so just having two projects doesn't make it easy enough to elect a different language for a single class, I might have to re-factor my entire project structure to get all the dependencies to all the right classes with no cycles in the graph.
I think that the pressure to make C# more like everyone else would be a lot less if I could easially decide "language X is the most natural expression of this concept" and go from there.
I agree with pmnieav that this is the singular distinction between static classes and namespaces, and that putting Math. in front of Sin, Cos, Abs, etc is just silly. I don't think the answer is free functions.
Provide a "static using" directive to introduce static members and subtypes of any class into the name resolution search space, make it be usable within methods as well as within types (don't need it file-wide), and there would no longer be any need for namespaces as a separate concept.
Namespaces as a separate concept are dangerous anyway. They don't respect visibility (can't be declared internal, stretch across assembly boundaries) and don't provide anything static classes don't, except at the level of syntactic sugar (the namespace name is optional when a using directive is in effect).
The significant advantages of "static using" are:
- it improves access to existing libraries
- namespace pollution is explicitly opt-in, unlike free methods and to a greater degree than extension methods
- visibility
- generics
Oh, I would also require a fully qualified name with "static using", no combinations with either "using" or earlier "static using" directives.
And haven't we had this discussion before?
I do not see a benefit even in static using, given that we have extension methods. Forced static imports of modules is one of the reasons I do not use VB anymore.
I think there is much more important stuff that can make people's lifes simpler, "yield foreach" is one (small) example. Allowing global level methods, on the other hand, gives nothing a tool can't give just by transparently wrapping code int o a class. For example, when you create C# extension functions in XSLT, you do not have to create a class, XSLT compiler does that for you.
> Try thinking about it this way: a static method inside a class is really just a global method with a dot in its name.
Except that it's not. The class provides scoping, context, and it can be imported using an alias. Utility.Foo and Utility.Bar will conflict if they are in two different classes.
Sometimes you can find a useful class that actually provides context and makes those methods more easily discoverable. Sometimes you can work around it using extension methods (including some cases where you should not). Sometimes it's just getting in your way. At least it makes you think more about where to put it. And it provides a smell for code reviews. As long as you don't slide into procedural programming, it's only a minor annoyance.
Given all the pro's and con's, I find it hard to justify putting effort into this. There are far more pressing features that would actually effect our daily development tasks (how about the hypothetical metaprogramming features of that hypothetical next version BTW? they are so hard to justify if you just count votes and ignore the fact that the few developers asking for them provide frameworks for so many others...)
REPLs are going to need some additional stuff anyway, like ad-hoc variables. I don't see why any of that should be included in the "compiled edition" too.
It feels like you're about to Jump the Shark...
I like the idea of "static using" as described by Ben. I find that more desirable than having the functions themselves be free. That would solve the Maths.Sin problem without requiring any new maths API. I realise that I really don't object to the fact that the static methods live inside a static class, I just object to having maths-related code cluttered up with "Maths." all over the place.
I don't see how extension methods reduce the marginal value of "static using". I really don't think "x.Sin()" is an improvement over "Maths.Sin(x)", and the idea of "y.Atan2(x)" is terrifying.
I agree with the majority of previous responders in my hope that this doesn't advance into positive points for implementation; and while I'm at it would second Stefan's interest in metaprogramming.
"Isn't that why Visual Studio contains other languages? I'd hate for the C# language to become a cluttered, horrible mess just for the sake of 'progress'.
Strong vote against this change!"
I completely agree with you ShadowChaser. C# is good at being C#, there's no reason to try to make it do all of these things that other languages do. It will only lead to the language becoming cluttered (much like VB).
I don't want C# to become like VB or JScript or any other language. I'd use a different language if I needed a feature that desperately, that's why other languages exist.
I'm not saying that the C# team should stop developing new features, I'd just like them do develop features that naturally fit in and are "in keeping" with the language. This would keep the language consistent and the features intuitive.
Interesting Finds: June 23, 2009
I really can't see this as a good thing. And I'll be very disapointed if I see this feature in a future version of C#. I don't want to have to tame my developers to don't do a completly mess again, as they did in the Delphi era. Top level functions leads to a completly messy and almost unmanageable/understandable code.
If one wants a scripty language, choose another one, not C#.
While I do not strongly disagree with adding this feature to the language, I don't see a big benefit for it either.
In my projects I would not use this feature, because I like to use (static) classes to organize my "global" functions. I usually have no problem coming up with a name for these classes, since you can organize almost any function with a simple Noun.Verb-scheme. This has the benefit, that I can see at the call site which class (and file, see below) the function belongs to and can quickly navigate there.
It is also a matter of organizing the project. Usually I have one file per class. With global methods, would I put all methods in one big Global.cs, or even one function per file?
So for any larger project, I don't really see how this would help me. And making the language more complex, with no (or minimal) benefit is always bad. If you need to add something to support "global" functions, maybe extending the using clause to let us import static members of static classes would be an alternative, although I wouldn't use that feature in my projects either.
The only real use case for this feature in my eyes is for embedding C# as a scripting language in other applications. I have done this a few times and you can do a lot with a combination of sub classing and adding class constructs and using-statements automatically to the code the user entered. But this is of course fragile and I can see a real benefit here.
However for these scenarios, it would be even more useful to me if we had an extensible compiler pipeline like boo, so that we can modify the compiler itself for the specific scenario we need to support. I believe I've read somewhere that the compiler team is already working on something like this while they're also rewriting the C# compiler in C#. Do you have any more information on this Eric?
I will stop programming in C# or .NET -once Microsoft tries to take this kind of direction.
It not only sounds crazy but it is like going backwards. Saying that C# need to match
other langugage features etc is just not right. I hope Microsoft will put people with OOP
background in C# team -not people with scripting background - as in charge
Another interesting post by the great Eric Lippert .

How I kept my geek genes in check by not buying an iPhone 3G yet, I'll never know. While some owners of the handset are thrilled with their device, I continue to read more and more complaints everywhere I turn. Lately the issues I'm hearing about are with the 3G functionality, which aside from the GPS is the only reason I had to upgrade from my first-gen iPhone. But if there are issues with the 3G, who's to blame?
Stacey Higginbotham alludes to a possible issue with the 3G chip, which is believed to be supplied by Infineon. If the issue is with hardware, then it could be a real challenge to fix with a firmware upgrade. The other side of the equation is the network itself. With over 3 million iPhone 3G devices sold already, is the AT&T network crumbling under heavy demand for voice and speedy data? An official AT&T statement indicates that the iPhone 3G is performing well and that issues are handled on a case-by-case basis.
In the end, I suspect AT&T will take the brunt of any burden here. While customers bought an Apple-branded phone, they have an ongoing contract and business relationship with AT&T. That won't let Apple off the hook if there are any actual hardware issues that need addressing, but AT&T is going to have to step up and own the issue if there is one to be had.
Since I don't have an iPhone 3G, I'll rely on you: how's your 3G connectivity peforming?

Good Morning (Yes)
(This is a shoutout to baby Tamir)
Here we go again yes yes y'all we rockin' it
Mighty Moe Betta yes y'all he rockin' it
Iglootew oh yes y'all we rockin' it
And much love to Miles y'all
Doom and gloomers think we're in the year of the apocalypse
Yet in 3 minutes you're gonna see just what your options is
Peering through the ominous? Planning where your coffin is?
Or regrouping to fortress and rebuilding your obelisks?
Insert your ankh in this to transform like Optimus
Then instantly the off becomes on/ the ALL begets form
Thoughts begin swarm then the physical's born
And soon that way of thinking will be seen as the norm
It's in your being perform and do it easily, strategically
You're everything you need to be and need to be immediately
In life you see the seed that adds the greenery to scenery
And you ain't never seen this green so serene
Some got to get up some go through to get out
Some swing the arc with the lift to get out
And it's outta the park oh yes y'all I'm rockin' it
The light inside the dark oh yes y'all I'm rockin' it
Feel it in your heart oh yes y'all I'm rockin' it
Mother Earth's alive she's more than just a rock in it
Once you understand it then we can take a rocket in
What you gonna do when it's YES LAWD OUTER SPACE
So many ways to go and stars to chase
To whom you meet will you be blind enough to talk about race
Identifying with a color they gon' laugh in your face (aha!)
Cause the color that reveals the real's the aural field
A diamond sculpted lattice that's inscribed inside a torus
Some produce a solid light and some emit it porous
Red chakra's root seat the sacral is the orange
Yellow solar plexus where power begets force
Green hearts the fourth unconditional love pours
Fifth the throat the blue through which you learn to use your voice
Pineal gland the indigo transmits receives the choice
Violet crown then back on down connects you to the plan
There's so much more we have in store evolving of man
There's a warming of the harmony to vibrate and expand
Hand in hand we'll do it, that's yours and mine
And we'll introduce to galactic kin in due time
That don't even resemble human
So tell me what you doing just boo hooing to your brotherman cause of his choice of hueing
You're ruining the chance to enhance just what you're viewing
So when we get on motherships riding high
And you can meet another specie eye to eye
And he might have five, baby don't ask why
Just tell him Moe Betta said hi/ he'll say "that guy?"
Oh yeah I know him well and yes y'all he rockin' it
He reps it for you earthlings and yes y'all (rockin' it)
Youngest to the oldest from the bottom to the top in this
He shines his light well and yes y'all he rockin' it
So do you, gentle soul, yes yo you rockin' it
He'll ask how do you know that yes y'all you rockin' it
What's in him is in me so simply it must be
Cause acorns don't fall far from the tree
That's true indeed
So if you feeling that say yes y'all we rockin' it
Put your hand up high and say yes y'all
Wave em around if you feeling the sound
Cause this is how the rockers get down the world renown
You might be saying "fool aliens are a myth
You must be taking a sniff or out there smoking that piff"
But we're in an universe with an immeasurable length
So would we really be the only ones to truly exist?
And you can riddle me this with all the planets and stars
Would we really be the only ones developed this far?
The we can take it up there to another degree
Cause there's a billion more in the sky we can't see
You'll say "Damn I agree and yes y'all you rockin' it
My whole mind frame oh yes y'all we rockin' it"
We do it to life cause we don't do it to death
A little shy of three minutes cause some seconds is left
So Imma say it again so yes y'all we rockin' it (Doom and gloomers think were in the year of the apocalypse)
Go and tell a friend that yes y'all we rockin' it (Nah na da da da da di da da da da da na na)
Give pounds and hugs and resounds of love
Cause it is below as so above (Yeah) (End Time)

A common way of creating PDF documents is by converting another document format into a PDF. This option has the inherent advantages of both creating a fully searchable PDF from the beginning, as well as generating a finished PDF with an optimally small file size.
eTheses: How to convert to PDF/A
eTheses must be submitted in PDF/A format.
PDF/A documents are PDFs that follow a new standard for archiving electronic documents. They are self-contained for long-term reproducibility. The practical difference between creating a PDF and a PDF/A document is that the conversion settings should be "PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)" or "PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)".
