Excellent! Sony takes over. Blu-ray absolutely becomes standard.
Like the PS2, most gamers get one, has the most/best games.
Okay, but there's better consoles to get.
Failure, blu-ray is new beta max, a handfull good games, slow death.
Complete failure, Sony's game division pretty much dies.

I dunno.. I know i will be getting one eventually, to play games like metal gear solid and final fantasy.
(and lets not forget all the ps/ps2 games i already have - both my ps1 and ps2 are dead...)

It's a poll, maybe the thread shows up before the poll though.. took some time for me to write.

LOL....sorry Prom...my post was meant to be sarcastic
I can't say it will do badly....but I have read a lot of views from across a few gaming forums and I believe it won't do as well as they hope it would. Nevermind what the fanboys say. Biggest sore point is the amount of difference between the 500 and 600 dollar systems and apparently you cannot upgrade it. 500 bucks is a lot of money...but the lack of options to allow you to add on later to make it equal to the 600 option is ridiculous.

I really dont think sony will have to do much to get the biggest sales again, despite the crap games that have been announced (apart from a couple). More than anything, sony just seemed really lazy this E3. Maybe they thought it didnt matter, and they're probably right...It could do really shit though, but i'd be very suprised.

i was talking to my friend, Sartell on here, and we decided that despite the fact the ps3 is inferior to the xbox360 as far as hardware goes, and despite the fact that it doesnt have the sheer inginuity that wii has, the game library on the ps3 will cary it above and beyond the other two systems.

Is a hard question to answer, PS3 has a good selection of games for my taste, so I will get one eventually, at least me and my brother will ( to make up for the cost). All though i think the price is set for people whoo is to impatient and will probably order it right away, the price will go down fast after a couple of months.( if the sony marketing team is smarter than a gerbo)
Game selection aside, Sony is bringing people down latelly, not only as a gaming company. Sony is slowly dying, but in a 20 year proyection...that means that they might blew it big time for a PS5 or 6.
Take into consideration than PS is an entertaiment product, not only for gaming, that adds some points, plus the fact that is compatible with PS and PS2 games.
Other than that, I never, in my entire life, cared to much for the Nintendo franchises like Zelda, Mario or Metroid, and the Nintendo systems are made moslty for kids.
But PS3 won´t do as good as the PS2, maybe not even half as good.

No it doesn't.
Where did you get that idea?
PS3 will obviously do well. People will buy any Playstation console at this point, even if its a cow which its not. Its fast, and will have games lots of people like. However, I think it will be much more even with the other consoles. PS3 is more expensive, is pulling some pretty silly voodoo trickery with the features (the 20gb model wont even have wireless controller support). Their version of Xbox Live wont do nearly as well considering its still up to the developer to handle the connections. So while it will definetly sell, past the rush of early adoption, people who are looking at the features might hesitate.
This will also have next to nothing to do with games. Every console (like the previous generation) will have excellent games that fanboys of each console will ignore.

Missing Option:
"Like the PS2. Most people will get one because Sony will release the highest volume of games which appeal to the lowest common denominator."
That's not to say the PS2 didn't have some great and even some quirky games. That's just not what made it successful. The Playstation established Sony's place in the market by being the best console of its generation. The PS2 succeeded in spite of being the worst of its generation because it rode on the coattails of the Playstation. The PS3 will definitely be successful, more or less by default at this point.
Whether or not Sony maintains their lead is going to depend on Microsoft and Nintendo and how they market themselves. Both companies have the hardware and licensing agreements to pull off a big win this generation. The question is, can they get the word out to the consumer? They couldn't last time, even though they both had stronger hardware offerings. Microsoft had far better online playability.
But Nintendo banked too much on their first party properties (which were the most successful games on the system, but that's not enough to take a market lead) and Microsoft just couldn't woo enough developers to challenge the PS2 (and they completely died in Japan, which will probably happen again).
I think Nintendo has the best chance of challenging Sony with their revolutionary hardware design and a huge library of downloadable content for the hardcore gamers (the vast majority of gamers are in the generation that grew up playing NESes and SNESes so nostalgia is a safe bet for some profit potential). But Nintendo doesn't seem to want the market lead. They're profitable every generation and that's enough for them, like Jim Davis, I think they're content to be wildly profitable without making any enemies.

Just see the points as a 5-1 success scale with 5 and 1 being extremes. I couldn't cover everything I wanted with the poll anyways.
Regarding backwards compability, I think the price is going to play in in Wii's favor. The people who skipped the GC (probably owning a PS2) might get a Wii to also check out the older stuff they missed on the GC. With the PS3 price, people might not be so eager to get it for the backwards compability, and chances are they already have a PS2 and PS1.

Alright so its not twice as powerful, but its almost there.
Edit: I honestly don't think backward compatiblity is an important feature in consoles except in the first year of launch when there isn't much of anything to play with.

Now that was unnesesary.
A person by itself cannot guess that much. Appeal to the lowest common denominator??
There are great games for PS and there are good games in PS3 list, and I can say the ones I´m interested in are far from being "stupid games".
Like said before in this same thread, the desition lies in the games you are interested in. The succes will be pending on how the publicity of each console is played.
Games are fun, so let´s keep this healthy without indirectly call anyone stupid becuase of wish console will he/she buy.

Actually, I'm thinking of getting a Wii for just the backwards compability. I'll admit I'm a bit of a NES geek and hardly a significant demographic, but I was also on the edge of buying a GC for quite a while, but didn't do it. Being able to try out Windwaker, Metroid, and a few of the other interesting games increases my incentive to go for the Wii.
I also wanted to buy a PS2, it has a lot of fun games it seems, there's no denying that! I won't be getting the PS3 though, too big for my wallet. However, I could get one of them smaller PS2's when people sell them to afford the PS3... so no next gen there for me.
See where I'm coming from?

May 15th, 2006 #22
Juding from what I can tell by watching the press, Sony totally sucked this E3. Completely lackluster games were shown. A ridicuous price point. A metoo! controller design. More FMV seqences... And many of the hugh named games didn't even make a showing, Killzone, Motorstorm to name a few. I dont get it.
I was really expecting Sony to knock it out of the park. Backwards playback is good, but not imparitive IMO. More tech demos, Who gives a $@#%^&! I don't care how many pixels it can push or polys it can draw. Wheres the games? I think Sony handed over the next few years to Microsoft.
Nintendo had a decent show, but I don't think it will be enough.
I don't spellcheck...
May 15th, 2006 #23
ps games usually are fighting and driving... besides ff and mgs series.
So I'll be going for the lowest possible price, namely the nintendo box.
And xbox will never get into my house unless they're giving them away modded so i can simply download the games and not have to spend any cash on that system ever.
Yeah, I'm kinda against so many platforms. 1 platform that lasts 5 years and only costs 200 euro with games around 30 euro, much better.

I'm really surprised by how lack lustre Sony's E3 prescence was. For a console that's less than six months from shipping, Sony showed us basically nothing of interest to get us to start slapping down preorders.
I think they're banking 100% on the success of their prior consoles to sell this one, and with MS already out the door and Nintendo getting ready to blanket the airwaves with Wiimote footage around the same time the PS3 launches, that seems like a really bad idea. They're going to have to come up with something to separate themselves from the pack or else they may lose their market dominance.
I think they'll still be successful this generation, but this could be the year that everyone remembers as the year Sony dropped the ball.

well shit, those stats do rock. to be honest, i havent been following the 'console war' as well as i should, i was still basing my opinion on some of the earliest announcements. But what i said before is now reinforced: ps3 is going to rock. To me, playstation 2 feels more like a staple than the other two systems. Gamecube is for gamecube people, and xbox is for xbox people, while everyone has a ps2. Thats just out of personal observation, but it feels like it stands true. Hopefully, this will be the same way with ps3. Playstation has always had a place in my heart, as the core of my gaming experience, and i honestly pray that the ps3 will follow suit.

Nintendo + rare was a friggin good combination.
In fact, i wouldn't have cared if they we're taken over, as long as the quality of games remained the same. But they fscked up the sequal to perfect dark...
I didn't even know that was possible.
So not mad about the fact they bought them out, it's their right, but they should have kept up the quality of rare games to it's previous value.

Previously Wassermelone asked where I got my information that PS3 is more powerful. I've read and reread thru several reviews and like a fellow forumer on one of my gaming hangouts, we came to the conclusion that the PS3 might be more powerful in terms of brute force but it might simply be a little more of a hassle to program for than the X360 CPU. Which is basically the same as the Saturn. Its dual SH4 running at 25mhz was a lot more powerful than the single 33mhz PSOne. But the death blow was the PSOne's ease of coding (with Sony making sure every major developer have access to their dev kit and tech support). Almost every programmer felt the Saturn was more powerful, but felt it was a bitch to code for it.
We may be seeing the same here. Which in any case, brute computing strength really doesn't mean anything.
Personally I believe Sony's claims for the cell processor. But after Wass promted me to do a further read up, a side of doubt now exists because not many of PS3 demos are very far superior to existing 360 games. I mean honestly...how far "ahead" is MGS4 compared to GRAW or GOW.
And of course the VP whom I know working for Sony has "disappeared" right after E3. The whole forum is waiting for him to answer some questions

Don't quote me on this, but i picked up somewhere from someone on the internet that the developing tools for ps3 are much more accessible than those for ps2, relying less on assembler coding and allowing more high level development.
But i guess to really use the additional computing capabilities you'd have to dig deep into the internals of the hardware. My guess is that, without extra work, you'll be stuck with XBox360 performance.

Effective planning takes into account diverse perspectives and impacts, says Shrinivas Rao
(This second part of the article on urban planning discusses the new issues involved in making public spaces more suited to the present-day environment)
Urban planning has evolved over time, with new issues and tools. Over the past few years, social equity, environmental risk management, heritage preservation, energy planning, security, non-motorised transportation, public health, and sustainability have all become planning issues. Effective planning takes into account diverse perspectives and impacts, allowing decision-makers to identify and implement the most effective ways to achieve goals.
Urban planning principles manage resources including people, time, money, land and infrastructure; while designing the principles it is necessary to identify the resources, constraints and conflicts. Urban Planning Principles (UPP) today increasingly incorporate the concept of sustainability, which refers to comprehensive, strategic planning that explicitly considers long-term and indirect impacts. UPP strive for development rather than growth and recognise resource constraints and ecological risks.
Involvement of stakeholders
Planning is a social activity as it involves people. Successful planning requires effective involvement of stakeholders. A comprehensive approach incorporating various stakeholders is vital while planning. Following are the key stakeholders while planning an urban space:
* Users
* Citizens/taxpayers
* Impacted residents
* Businesses
* Employees/workers
* Affected organisations / interest groups
Sustainable development and sustainability influence today's urban planners. Some planners argue that modern lifestyles use too many natural resources, polluting or destroying ecosystems, increasing social inequality, creating urban heat islands, and causing climate change. Many urban planners, therefore, advocate sustainable cities.
The planning process today generally encompasses the following principles:
* Comprehensive – all significant options and impacts are considered
* Efficient – the process should not waste time or money
* Inclusive – people affected by the plan have opportunities to be involved
* Informative – results are understood by stakeholders (people affected by a decision)
* Integrated — individual, short-term decisions should support strategic, long-term goals
* Logical — each step leads to the next
*Transparent — everybody involved understands how the process operates
The aesthetics of the city is another prime consideration. Many a time the visual environment gets cramped with excessive human-made clutter such as signposts, signs, and hoardings.
Challenges facing urban designers include tensions between peripheral growth, housing density and new settlements. Other debatable issues include mixing tenures and land uses versus distinguishing geographic zones where different uses dominate.
Environmental protection and conservation are of utmost importance to many planning systems across the world. Not only are the specific effects of development to be mitigated, but attempts have to be made to minimise the overall effect of development on the local and global environment.
This is commonly done through the assessment of sustainable urban infrastructure and microclimate. Regardless, all successful urban planning considers urban character, local identity, heritage, pedestrians, traffic, utilities and natural hazards.

Daniel Alfredsson out for Red Wings, Matt Bartkowski could return to Bruins for Game 3
|04.22.14 at 12:30 pm ET
DETROIT — There will be different personnel in Tuesday's Game 3 between the Bruins and Red Wings, but not necessarily on Boston's end.
Red Wings forward Daniel Alfredsson will be out of the lineup Tuesday, with Joakim Andersson filling in on Detroit's second line with Darren Helm and Tomas Jurco. Alfredsson is believed to be dealing with a back issue, with Mike Babcock saying the veteran forward "needs another day."
As for the Bruins, Matt Bartkowski took part in Tuesday's morning skate and will be on the ice for warmups. Bartkowski was not made available to the media and Claude Julien was tight-lipped about his status, declining to comment on whether Andrej Meszaros would stay in the lineup once Bartkowski was healthy enough to play. Daniel Paille and Chris Kelly did not participate in morning skate.

Ron Kaye Wants L.A. To Vote On A Measure That Would Ensure Not One Taxpayer Dollar Goes Toward NFL Stadium Downtown
It looks more and more like L.A. is going to get an NFL stadium. Ed Roski's Majestic Realty has a plan for one in the city of Industry. Staples Center boss Tim Leiweke has offered some ideas of his own, including a possible venue at the Convention Center, next to Staples and LA Live.
You'd probably be hard pressed to find sports fans who are bummed about either prospect. The town is overdue for a football team.
But some folks don't trust Leiweke's pitch (told to the Weekly Friday) that taxpayers wouldn't spend one penny if he brought the NFL downtown. Valley leader Ron Kaye says let's put that into writing:
He wants to see a city ballot measure for March that would reflect "a 1978 Charter measure that barred the use of public funds to support the 1984 Olympics" in Los Angeles. That law was pushed by then-Mayor Tom Bradley.
" ... We need the Bradley solution: An iron-clad Charter measure that takes AEG's Tim Leiweke at his word that no public money will be used for it, that every element will be financed and paid for by AEG."
What do you think? Necessary, or a hindrance to positive development downtown? Would you vote for it?

Jacob Burckhardt was born on September 10, 1891, in Basel, Switzerland. He attended the universities of Basel, Munich, Goettingen, Zurich, and Paris. A diplomat, professor, and writer, his best-known literary work was a biography of Richelieu. Burckhardt also wrote The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, The Age of Constantine the Great, Judgments on History and Historians, and The Greeks and Greek Civilization. Burckhardt's Force and Freedom was recently published under the title Reflections on History. Burckhardt's career included serving as a diplomat between Poland and Germany prior to World War II. He was the high commissioner of the Free City of Danzig for the League of Nations. Burckhardt met with Adolf Hitler in 1939 about the surrender of Danzig to Germany. Although he was praised for his efforts, Burckhardt was unable to reconcile the situation, which eventually led Europe into World War II. Burckhardt died in 1897.

Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson admits he could never fully trust his former manager Steve McClaren again.
Recounting how in 2002 McClaren came close to leaving Boro for Leeds, Gibson told the Sunday Times: "I rang McClaren and I just knew from our telephone call that he was ready to go. He didn't know that he actually wasn't first choice at Leeds, Terry [Venables] was and we knew that. But that wasn't the only time he was going to jump ship, he was also prepared to go to Chelsea and Newcastle.
"We're friendly enough now, we shake hands when we meet but he's never been back since he left and he's not on my Christmas card list. And we never want to get into that situation again, I don't want a guy who is always thinking about the next rung on the ladder. If Steve McClaren said to me the grass is green, I would go out and check. He can be charming but he had this streak of ambition that was absolutely bloody ruthless and you can't go through life always trying to achieve your ambitions at the expense of others.
"He just saw us as a stepping stone and if you can make enemies at a club like ours, you're going to be in trouble when things go wrong. Having said that, he has something as a coach and a manager and I do believe he will come back. But managing England should be your last job, not your next job. Steve's ambition couldn't see that."

This might ruffle some feathers, but if I'm Castellini, I do every thing I can to get Lindner to cut him right now. Forget the money, set an example of discipline.
This team obviously needs that with Womack and Aurilia on it, not to mention all the young players coming up.

Several of you have talked about how we all have gotten drunk and it's no big deal. True. But I doubt many of us have been arrested 2 times in less than a year due to our drinking. Alcohol is a problem if it causes problems in your life, and it is doing that for Ryan.
If I had an employee who was arrested twice for drinking related incidents, I would insist he get help. For two reasons. First it sounds like he/she is on a path where he/she needs it and second because it reflects poorly on my organization.
I don't care if he's a garbage collector or a heart surgeon or a baseball player, it's the right thing to do for Ryan the man, and for the Reds.
Heck I would have been fired, no questions asked, after the first incident.
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
Being that I survived being hit by a drunk, I have very little respect for Freel. And yes, my opinion is very biased. Cut him, trade him, get him out.
Being drunk is a character falw. It is a problem. I drink beer, wine, etc, if it goes towards being drunk then there is a deeper issue at work and I am just letting myself go.
Free should not be on the opening day roster.

Reds' Freel arrested on alcohol charge
By Marc Lancaster
Post staff reporter
Reds utilityman Ryan Freel was arrested early Sunday morning in Tampa, Fla., and charged with disorderly intoxication - his second arrest on alcohol-related charges in less than a year.
The arrest occurred at 3:35 a.m. and Freel, 29, was released from the Hillsborough County jail at 11:05 a.m. after posting a $250 bond, according to jail records.
Reds general manager Dan O'Brien said late Sunday night that team officials were still trying to piece together the events that led to the arrest. He said he would not comment until he had all the facts on the incident.
O'Brien said he had not spoken with Freel and that manager Jerry Narron had left Freel a message.
"I know that some other members of the organization have made contact," O'Brien said.
The Tampa Tribune cited a police report saying Freel smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words. According to that report, Freel refused to stop screaming obscenities at a pool hall employee, police were called, and Freel was arrested. Jail records indicate Freel refused to take a blood-alcohol content test.
The arrest occurred outside an establishment called The Rack, which is described on its Web site as "Tampa's first pool room-sushi hall."
Freel, a Jacksonville native who still lives in that North Florida city, avoided salary arbitration with the Reds on Dec. 19 and signed a two-year contract that will pay him at least $3 million. Freel will make $1.3 million this season after earning $405,000 last year.
Hours after the Reds' Opening Day victory over the New York Mets last April, Freel was arrested by police in Bellevue, Ky., and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
After originally pleading not guilty, Freel entered a guilty plea to the DUI charge May 10 in exchange for prosecutors dropping other charges from the incident, including one for having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle. He paid a fine, lost his driving privileges in Kentucky for 90 days and had to undergo an alcohol assessment program. He also had to enroll in the Reds' Employee Assistance Program, which provides counseling.
Freel declined to answer questions after that case was resolved, but he did release a statement through the Reds the day after he was arrested. It said in part, "I intend to handle this matter in an upright and honest fashion and will do everything in my power to assure that I never again find myself in this situation."

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain
I would just drop him if that was the case, but thats just me.If he got arrested for domestic violence with his wife, would there be such a ruckus?
I'll wait for details, but i can say this much, what he did last year (at first glance) was far worse and all he got was a littl tickle on the wrist, so nothing will come of this.
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
Couldn't agree more. Once is an an accident twice is a pattern. He may be an alcoholic and having him go to rehab could save his - or someone else's - life. He may not like it now but he may eventually be grateful.Originally Posted by creek14

Not that The Reds Report needs to toot its own horn or anything, but I'll quickly note that in the 12/20 edition, I broke the news that Womack had been acquired, and that Ryan Freel had started drinking again.
You can look it up.
Makes all the routine posts.
Don't see this as a big deal. He got drunk and cursed at some pool hall people. Was too stupid to shut up after the cops showed up (or leave before they showed up).
No reason to cut the guy. And I don't believe the arguement that it will hurt PR because people bring their kids to the game. There's much worse people in pro sports, and it doesn't seem to ever turn the fans away.
Why cut someone for drinking in the offseason?

Yep, they're ballplayers, not saints nor saivors, last time I checked drinking was legal.Why cut someone for drinking in the offseason?
Maybe being a jerk is a problem for Freel... maybe he's was drunk and picked the fight with Jimenez at the team party 2 years ago too.
Whatever, baseball and booze have a history that intertwines with each other, one that is much deeper and richer than the one they have hot dogs and crackerjacks, with that history comes knee jerk reactions to bad situations involving booze from both players and fans.
Along with the mandatory dose of rightousness or dismissiveness.

When I accepted the job I have now, it was made very clear to me that management couldn't care less about my private life, unless it effected my job performance. Being a somewhat visable public figure, I had certain responsibilities that could be compromised by my public behavior and that was included. No one was going to invest money with me if I was constantly drunk and disorderly, for instance. Not only would it reflect poorly on me, but the corporation, too.
Ryan is in the same position. He not only has problems, but he is reflecting poorly on the Reds. If your work at say Jones Hardware, you can get by (and that aludes to all the stories of what we've done), but if you're in the public eye, it changes. I would demand he get help supervised by the Reds or cut him. No excuses.

CUTTACK: Judo coach Biranchi Das murder case took a turn on Tuesday when a Cuttack-based youth filed a PIL in Orissa High Court seeking court's direction to arrest senior IAS officer Priyabrat Patnaik for his alleged link in the sensational case.
Manas Ranjan Sahu filed the writ basing on the statements given by Chagala alias Akhshaya Behera who was arrested from Bhopal in connection with the murder case.
The petition said the statements of a co-accused can be taken as prima facie evidence and on the basis of it, the IAS officer can be arrested, the petition said.
The HC however, has not taken any cognizance of the petition.
Speaking to The Hindu, the petitioner advocate Arun Kumar Budhia said he has a merit in the case and was hopeful that the court would take cognizance of the PIL.
He said the senior IPS officer of Uttar Pradesh R.K.Sharma who was convicted recently was arrested on the basis of the statement of a co-accused.
The lawyer questioned that when another senior IPS officer of the State, Sanjib Marik is now placed under suspension on the basis of statements of a co-accused, why the same principle would not be applied in this case too.

Comments Thread For: Andriy Kotelnik Ready To Retire, Plans Final Career Fight
Former WBA junior welterweight world champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-4-1, 13 KOs), announces the imminent end of his boxing career. The Ukrainian fighter recently celebrated his 34th birthday. His decision was partially made due to health problems, but he also felt a lack of support to obtain championship fights. Kotelnik was the first man to beat Gavin Rees and Marco Maidana. He lost a decision to Amir Khan in 2009 and then a controversial decision to Devon Alexander in 2010.

Andriy Kotelnik, a true champ, unfortunate in his career defining bouts due to home cooking and Don King's antics. This is truly some sad news.
Seriously underrated boxer who right now, with more fights could havr been top 4 in the 140lbs division. To me, he already is. Sad news.
Good luck with your future champ and huge respect.

The only sh1tty thing with all this is Kotelnik should of gotten a few more paydays. A lot of things fuked it up and I'm sure HBO won't pick him up. Best of luck, tragic end but this is nothing new in the sport of boxing.

DNS Made Easy introduces the Global Traffic Director to allow clients to define unique DNS responses by geographic region.
Reston, VA (PRWEB) September 21, 2011
DNS Made Easy, the world leader in enterprise IP Anycast DNS services, announces the release of the Global Traffic Director, a geographic DNS service. The Global Traffic Director can be used by DNS Made Easy clients to vastly improve the performance of Internet services by segmenting traffic and load balance their internet services regionally. DNS Made Easy claims that the release of the Global Traffic Director is another step in confirming that DNS Made Easy is the preferred choice to over-priced and under-performing alternatives in the enterprise IP anycast market.
The Global Traffic Director (GTD) allows the DNS Made Easy clients to define unique DNS responses by geographic region. This provides a number of benefits to network administrators, including the ability to direct traffic to specific end points by region and to better manage traffic distribution during periods of high traffic load. When combined with DNS Failover and System Monitoring service of DNS Made Easy, GTD also allows automated failover of DNS records by region to other systems in the same region or elsewhere. This is extremely important to regional based cloud computing centers.
"DNS Made Easy clients have customers all around the world and have shown an interest in serving traffic to their closest regional server or cloud," states Steven Job, President of Tiggee, the creators of DNS Made Easy. "The GTD service was initially offered free to all users to get feedback. Now that the GTD service is nearing ready for purchase we are excited that we can once again offer another enterprise feature for a fraction of competitor pricing. This will once again further increase ROI of the DNS Made Easy services to our customers. Increasing the ROI for our clientâs is something that is always a driving focus for DNS Made Easy and is why DNS Made Easy is a ROI leader for IP Anycast DNS services. The addition of a service like the Global Traffic Director at the price we will offer it shows the continued dominant role that DNS Made Easy plays in the enterprise IP anycast DNS marketplace."
According to DNS Made Easy, in order to provide precise geographical DNS, and continue to uphold the DNS Made Easy standard of high quality services; DNS Made Easy also implemented a major expansion of their global IP Anycast network including a presence in Hong Kong to include Asia to their directory of GTD enabled network pops. In the past six months DNS Made Easy has added over 100 additional name servers and 50 BGP sessions at 6 new locations across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
The DNS Made Easy network is already respected as being one of the most reliable enterprise DNS infrastructures in the world. DNS Made Easy currently provides Managed DNS services to hundreds of thousands of domains with over 8 years of 100% uptime.
"The latest expansion to our triple cloud IP Anycast network has allowed us to implement an advanced geographical DNS service that will provide our customers with substantial flexibility in traffic management at the authoritative level of DNS," said Bryan Hughes, Vice President of Data Center Operations, DNS Made Easy. "DNS Made Easy has consistently found ways to offer enhanced services that improve upon existing technology while always maximizing our clientâs ROI. The availability of the Global Traffic Director is a significant contribution to these services."
DNS Made Easy's use of their independent triple cloud IP Anycast routing technology already provides low latency for DNS response times from anywhere on the planet. With the addition of the Global Traffic Director service, internet traffic can now be sent to the closest geographic server which will minimize latency altogether. In addition, further locations and capacity provided by the accompanying network upgrade has increased DNS query performance for DNS Made Easyâs growing customer base world-wide.

- I liked that kidnapping line, too.
, so glad to hear your leg is better!
Wow, I remember when you said you broke it...
This is a loooooong report.
Day 52: 8/12/12
Christmas Valley, OR to Ram Horn Campground, CA 306 miles
I love this bit - the sand track thingy.
We had full luggage last time and it was a blast.
Without bags, it was even more fun.
This place is pretty cool. Can you read this sign?
Apparently the trees can survive because of the volcanic sand/soil.
Here's a map for reference - the red thing marks the Lost Forest.
Every time I think I'll be able to take photos on this trail, but can't.
It's too much and I have to hang on.
Oh well.
Here are a few quick screen shots.
There are some slightly rocky areas...
The occasional tree root...
But, mostly just sand.
Fun stuff!
I have some video. We haven't done music in a while, so this one has a little.
We were having a really good time.
Occasionally you can hear Matt saying, "Training!!"
this is left over from hanging out with Radek.
Radek had been trying to talk Matt into doing the Baja1000 (as a fellow Ironman on a 990).
I said,
No way
- he hasn't been training!
But Radek insisted that Matt
been training.
Riding almost every day, 2up with bags, for this long ass trip.
That's just like training for the baja...
Um. Maybe.
Anyway. That got to be our little joke.
Any time we hit sand or rocks or anything technical - "Training!!"
We also said it any time we had ice cream or junk food or learning juice.
Oh man, those whoops at the end!
I was laughing so hard. The bike kept jumping up and whacking me.
My legs are too short and our rhythm was off -
I just got spanked instead.
Matt thought it was hilarious.
It was.
If we had kept going on the trail, we would have eventually come to this gate.
It takes you out into the rocky 2 track and back on the OBDR...
As it was, we had to hurry and get back to the Desert Inn.
It took longer than we thought to get here and now we had to rush to get back before the checkout time.
I missed this sign going in...
Oops. This one, too.
OK, that's it for now.
I'm behind in prepping photos.
This was a super long day of riding and I have a bunch of video to go through, too.
I'll leave you with some kewpie fun.
By the way, tarako seems to be some kind of salted cod roe flavored pasta?
hey larryboy, now I know how you hurt your ankle...
Oso bored? you can find the rest of our ride reports
make stupid your favorite!

After denying him visa for years, the US on Friday extended a Presidential invitation, delivered in person by US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, inviting him to visit Washington in September.
Burns handed Modi a letter by US President Barack Obama, in which he expressed a wish to work closely with new Indian prime minister to make India-US relations a defining partnership for the 21st Century.
A PMO statement said the Prime Minister thanked President Obama for the invitation and looked forward to a result-oriented visit with concrete outcomes that imparts new momentum and energy to India-US strategic partnership. Modi was of the view that re-energising the partnership between India and the United States would send an important message to the region and beyond.
Burns, who had met external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and finance minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday, said it was frustrating for both India and the US that the nuclear deal signed in July 2005 has still not taken off yet. He described India's Liability Legislation (on nuclear suppliers) an impediment and an area of concern for the US.
The law aims to provide a civil liability for nuclear damage and prompt compensation to the victims of a nuclear incident through a no-fault liability to the operator. It also caps the maximum amount of liability in case of each nuclear accident at Rs 5 billion ($84 million) to be paid by the operator of the nuclear plant, and if the cost of the damages exceeds this amount, the Central government has to pay upto Rs 300 million.
Burns said a meeting between Modi and Obama would be a "valuable opportunity" to renew the strategic partnership and spur trade between the two countries. He said though trade between the two countries had reached nearly $100 billion a year, it is far from the potential. The top US official visited India a week after revelations that the US agency NSA had been spying on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) now in power in India. The government had protested when the revelations came to light, and even summoned a senior diplomat to lodge the protest.
When confronted with the question, Burns said he discussed these issues "professionally", and both countries were discussing it through diplomatic channels. "We understand the concerns that have been raised and we'll deal with them professionally. But we also want to look ahead," he said, adding, "he was not at liberty to say more in public". Describing Modi as an impressive man, the US official said the controversy over his visa "is a thing of the past".
In May this year, Obama was one of the first few global leaders to call Modi after he won a massive mandate in the 2014 general election. It was the first high-level contact between Modi and the US leadership ever since Washington denied the former a visa in 2005, citing the 2002 Gujarat riots; Modi was Gujarat chief minister at the time.
Ahead of the high-profile visit, US Secretary of State John Kerry is also expected to visit Delhi for a strategic dialogue. Defence secretary Chuk Hagel is also expected to visit later this year to seek opportunities in defence cooperation.

The Rangers just got 4-game swept by the Orioles, yes the Baltimore Orioles!
Yet, the Rangers are still in first going into the break (yes a more comfortable lead over the Angels) but nevertheless, in 1st place. I think they take it and run with it the rest of the season.
Yes, they did just get swept by the worst team in the AL and arguably all of baseball, but they will keep there heads up and go forward.
I guess I am just glad that these "Maker 84" etc. types on this board do not play for our ball club. The Reds are resilient to say the least and just played a heck of a series in Philly. If that was played in Cincy, we would have easily split, but we didn't get that lucky, they did. Our SP has been remarkable and so has the rest of our bullpen (minus Cordero). We get an All-Star SP back on our club as well as a possible RP in Burton who has a 0.77 ERA in his last 10 games. Things are looking up. Cabrera needs this break and will come back stronger right away. Gomes as well IMO.
Hey, the Reds of Cincinnati are in first place at the break people!!!!
Keep your heads held high.

I'll tell you, guys. Having a week away from Sorority Life was awesome. Heathen did a great job filling in, but really, just to not have to delve too deeply into the sad lives of these needy, needy girls for one week was bliss. Kinda like when they preempted it that one week because of the war. That was cool…hey, I heard Syria was talking some shit about us the other day. Seriously. Y'all should look into that.
But during my week off, I came to a realization. I fucking hate reality television. I loved Real World and tolerated Road Rules for the first few seasons. I never got into Survivor, but I can see why everyone liked it. And then Big Brother and Fear Factor and The Mole and shows like that came along, and it was all fine and good -- because the shows were failing left and right and the whole craze was dying. Then came American Idol, and all hell broke loose. And now everyone in every field of entertainment is putting forth some spin on the Instant Celebrity Contest genre, from Country Music to Modeling to Stand-Up Comedy to Basketball to Porn. And there are the numerous The Osbournes imitators, not to mention Trading Spaces and What Not To Wear and the other hybrids of that nature. Sure, there are some good shows like The It Factor on Bravo, which I still watch, but there is a glut. A serious glut. I think we can all agree on that.
And what does this all mean? Actors and writers are put out of business. Now, you might say, is this a terrible thing to give actors and writers a scare? Might it not drive them to create better shows when they see their jobs are taken away from them? And isn't the very mediocrity they fed us for so many years to blame directly for viewers turning to something else? Well, no. Not really. It's the networks and the producers. They're the ones to blame. Writers to a certain extent. Less so, if at all, actors. And believe me, they're the ones who are suffering.
The producers and the networks, they just shift their attention to what's selling right now. You made Grace Under Fire one year, there is nothing to stop you from making World's Funniest Family in 2003. But if you're a writer or an actor, you're fucked. Fiz-ucked, people. Boo-hoo, you say? Sure. Right. But you understand who you're being entertained by these days? Editors. Boys With Avids. Boys who sit in front of a Avid machine all night in a tiny, windowless brick office somewhere on Santa Monica Blvd., trying desperately to craft some story out of the one million hours of Chuck and Sue picking their teeth. Sure, there are writers and story editors and other such people also involved -- some of whom are my friends -- but generally speaking, we are now being entertained by people who should probably just be cutting music videos for two hundred bucks an hour, rather than supplanting the WGA and SAG members who are actually trained to be the ones to tell us stories for a living.
And it all boils down to numbing sameness. That loud noise you heard last Monday morning was the entire Hollywood community, including me, breathing a gigantic sigh of relief that the evil B/M's foray into "Reality Film," The Real Cancun, failed at the box office. (Oh, but don't think they won't try to get rid of narrative movies too. One bad one isn't going to stop them.) But even without reality films taking off any time soon, our sense of documentary is being irreparably screwed, to where an Errol Morris film is just going to look to us like an episode of Help! I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here! and a well-done hour drama is just not going to have enough bleeped-out cursing and "real" drama for us to be entertained. And sure, sitcoms suck. Hour dramas suck. And maybe, just maybe this whole sad skid into "reality" will make the people who create our entertainment realize they have to do things better than they've been doing. But more likely, instead of taking the time to try to figure out exactly what that is, they'll be working on their pitches for The Greatest Ass In America.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/17/14
Freshman LSU defensive back Ricky Jefferson has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and has been sentenced to two years' probation in connection with his arrest along a Mardi Gras parade route in Metairie last February. The 18-year-old Jefferson, whose older brother is former LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson, Monday entered a plea of resisting arrest. Ricky Jefferson initially had been charged with felony resisting arrest by force after allegedly attacking a plain-clothes officer who was arresting one of his friends. First assistant Jefferson Parish prosecutor Steve Wimberly says Ricky Jefferson and two other defendants apologized to the officers, and that the sheriff's department is in ''complete agreement'' with prosecutors' decision to work out a plea deal. Les Miles, coach of the 12-ranked Tigers, has yet to comment on the plea agreement.

I am currently visiting the USA from the UK (I am a UK citizen) and am intending on staying here for the full 90 days under the Visa Waiver programme. How long would I have to stay out of the US at the end of this period before returning again? Would I have to return to the UK, or could I stay with friends in another country (such as Canada) for a while?
How soon can I re-enter the USA having stayed for 90 days under the Visa waiver programme? I am a UK citizen
It all comes down to a 'reasonable length of time' between stays.
Now that's about as ambiguous as they come - what's reasonable? It's like this on purpose - it's up to the official at the border, as the purpose of this is to try and work out if you're trying to live in the states and just border hopping every 90 days, instead of visiting.
From the CBP website:
If you're worried they may think you're trying to live there, then you could bring extra documents as evidence - eg, your flight out of America back to the UK, or proof of your current employment and residence in the UK. Basically anything to convince them that you're not actually surreptitiously residing in the US :)
Short version - it doesn't matter, what matters is convincing the border officer that you're visiting, not living in the US.
If you go to Canada and Mexico or the Caribbean, and while you are there, your initial 90-day period of entry expires, but you need to come back in to the U.S. to fly home, you may encounter a problem. The terms of the VWP are very clear - it is only to be used for occasional, short visits to the U.S. If the CBP Officer thinks you are trying to "reset" the clock by making a short trip out of the U.S. and re-entering for another 90-day period, you can be denied entry. (If that happens, you will have to obtain a visa for any future travel to the U.S.) In order to be re-admitted to the U.S. shortly after a previous admission expired, you will have to convince a CBP Officer that you are not trying to "game" the system.

What would Federer choose if given this choice?
Assume you are Roger Federer. You have determined your retirement tournament to be the 2016 Olympics. You find a bottle, you rub it and a genie appears. You are granted one wish, from two options. The options are:
Option 1
Win 2 more majors of your choice, except the FO, before you retire. And nothing else.
Option 2
Before you retire:
* Win 1 more FO, beating Nadal in the final; and
* Win the singles gold medal at the 2016 Olympics; and
* Win the Davis Cup once for your country; and
* Overtake Nadal in your head to head count by beating him constantly in R16s, QFs, SFs across all slams plus the FO final stated above; and
* Finish one more year as year end number 1.
And nothing else.
Option 1 takes you to 19 majors.
Option 2 takes you to 18 majors but ticks every other box as far as undisputed GOAT is concerned.
Which option do you choose and why?
Clearly option two... A second career slam with the French win, the Davis Cup and the Olympic title would be massive additions to his resume.
The head to head is completely and utterly irrelevant so far as the history books go and will be quickly forgotten by the world other than a few die-hard Nadal fans.
Finally someone agrees with me.
Good question. I think it'd be a knife edge with the possibility of putting Nadal to the sword in Paris would making it a difficult decision for him. I think the other elements wouldn't carry much weight for him however and in the end the lure of two majors would win the day. He's only playing against the history books now and the former would be the more resounding entires on that score. Option B would be sweet but is more a personal pride and ego list which I think he would decline.
It has to be option 2. Doing everything you couldn't do in your career is a big deal.
Option two by a million miles. Majors are the main thing, but winning 50 MS tourneys is still bigger than winning 1 major. It's not even a close call for me.
If it was 20 majors vs 18 I'd take 20 compared to 18 and everything else.
But in this case I take 18.
This is like asking if you'd rather drive a Ferrari or a school bus.
This is obvious. So much so I'm not even giving my answer.
Option 2 ..
Beating Nadal at the FO would be glorious for Fed.
Nadal came into Federer's house (Wimbledon), and took it from him.
Federer hasn't been able to give Nadal much trouble in Nadal's house (FO).
The options are a bit ridiculous. Pretty sure everyone would pick #2, even Federer, for a number of different reasons.
Option 2 and it's not even close.
I would still pick option 2 if it were only the french final vs Nadal.
Well... Even if I agree with you all about winning FO by beating Nadal in the final, getting the record of titles at Wimby and USO would be amazing too...
+ Most of the people remember the true Tennis Legends by the number of slams won, and the number of title by slam. Not really any of the other records/tournaments.
Would pick option 1, maybe...
(don't throw anything on me, please. thanks)
Majors are Majors.
Option 1.
It'd still be option 2 if the ONLY part of option 2 was beating Rafa in the finals.
with all the other stuff added in, it's not even close.
Option two.
In addition, option 2 would mean he still wins a huge prize in 2016 (in addition to beating Nadal all the time), meaning he might even continue at that point :shock:. If he just wins an odd Slam in 4 years and be barren otherwise, it is kinda unlikely he would stick around for that long.
On the other hand, option 1 is way way way likelier.
It's interesting that so many people are picking option 2. I think that the rivalry between the two is magnified in the frothy arguments on this site. There's no doubt that Federer would like to get the monkey off his back on the biggest stage but I still believe that it's probably not as big an issue for him as many people who repeatedly post "H2H!" believe it to be. Just because I think that with a cool head and a view to History he would choose the two majors and not give a crap if he beat a limping Radek Stepanek to get there.
You conveniently forget that both the US Open and WTF are "Roger's house" as well.
