And tbh its the fact the forums are so hostile on WoW i wouldn't ever trust it with my name .
EDIT: something i also read up , don't you think the simple fact making a WoW account suddenly gets you a huge load of spam makes you distrust everything related to it ?

That's great and all, but we're not talking about people doing anything illegal on the internet here. I am actually protected from unlawful search and seizure, and my name is part of that. It is lawful to refuse presenting your ID to a police officer unless they are requesting it in good faith (ie they believe you have commited a crime). If a police officer's authority doesn't supercede my right to privacy then your average forum goer certainly does not either. No one on these forums is committing a crime and no one on a forum has the right to their name.

So in this situation Blizzrd is the police. They know your Alias. Forum and they also know your real name through your account. They can just take care of it iternally.

Trolls and people like them ALWAYS find a way around these obstructions. But instead of most of them being regulated to over the internet threats and harrassment, blizzard is going to allow them to take it to a much more personal level.

I am incredibly sad for humanity knowing that there are people who not only don't see a problem with what they're doing, but at in fact DEFENDING it.
And you wonder why Nigerian scams work....

Even going back 10 years on Battle.net servers there was no need for me to ever use chat rooms. All I did was just play and associate with the people who I was playing with in the game.

This is an interesting topic. I am only a couple years off of you in age (according to our profiles here) and I have almost a complete opposite view on anonimity. Not to imply anything by that, just that I find it an interesting illustration of how polarizing the issue can be.
Otherwise, as I posted in response to someone else, you are constitutionally guaranteed the right to anonymous speech (albeit a private company can certainly moderate their forums as they see fit), but I'll certainly agree with the belief that, as with any right, a person has the obligation to use it responsibly or risk losing it. After all, as the saying goes (paraphrased), my right to swing my fist stops before it hits your face.
Again though, specific to Blizzard's move, I think increased moderation of their forums would accomplish the same goals they are seeking to achieve. I, as a customer, derive no value from my name being displayed, if I choose to participate in their forums, and thus, I can't find a reason to support it. Not even a privacy issue there. Just a matter of "what's in it for me" and I don't believe the assumption that this will curtail trolling as I have seen enough anecdotal evidence to suggest otherwise.

If I was currently subscribed to a Blizzard game I'd quit, and I certainly won't be buying SC2 and D3, which was money in the bank for Blizz before this.

Btw, to anyone thinking "oh it will never be a problem 8D Just teaches them dern kids they cant hide behind anonymity 8D" (which I will remind you, as your name means as little as your avatars name without context, the fear your supposedly invoking in trolls is that of the context that can be garnered via their name, IE: Their location and various other information that can link the name to their physical self. Basically, you're condining the system because the threat of violent and criminal reprocussion will keep them in check...) lets just see how it worked out for a Mod that decided to try and prop up the "feature".
"Example? At one point in the huge Real ID thread on Bliz's site, a GM popped in to say "Hey I think Real ID is a good idea!" and posted his real name on the thread. Within minutes his physical address, email address and phone number were posted in a reply. Thanks to the quick "delete" fingers of the Blizzard mods it was removed almost instantly; but the damage was done" -GUcomics
Anyone who has used the internet for any appreciable length of time knows how stupid this is. Still don't believe me? Head on over to 4chan with your real name and be mr "IRL toughguy" there and ask for your "docs". Enjoy.

They do moderate their forums, and they do have internal means of taking care of things, and over the last 6 years or so I'm pretty sure they have done alot internally to alleviate this.
So there are a couple ways to look at it (probably more but I'll list what comes to mind quickest)
1) They have enough data collected to know within a fairly high degree of certainty that this applies to a small enough percentage of the community that they can whether the initial sub loss (which will be small).
2) They simply don't care, and have made enough off of WoW and other games (plus up and coming releases) that they feel this is the right thing to do regardless of community reaction.
Take your pick, but if I were in Blizzard's position, I would want as much security as possible, and while this may sound VERY counter intuitive to modern thought, the availability of information isn't the danger, it is what other companies will allow you to do with minimal information that is really the culprit... I'm talking ID theft etc. here.. Predation and stuff.. Well, that's the flip side of the coin.. The harder it is for people to be anonymous online, the harder it is for a predator to find his prey, regardless of the available information, simply becasue the predators actions are tracable, in real time.
OK, I'm borderline Wall of Text here, so I'll wrap it up.. Yes, The police/Blizzard analogy is weak, but the point behind the anology is still what is at heart. The problem isn't the availability of information. The problem is what you can do with said available information now, that you couldn't 20 years ago. The solution lies not in hiding the information, but making that information useless to anybody but it's rightful owner.
Exposing real names is a very small step in the right direction.
Right direction toward a big brother state?

We already know he works for Blizzard, so we can narrow down the region of search to say, a 50 mile radius from Blizzard's headquarters.

I want to point this picture out.
This guy has a few very commenly used mods installed.
It's now showing REAL Names, of people who he does NOT know NOR are they on his REALID friends list.....
To people who STILL think blizzard is doing this to "clean up the forums", really, wipe off your nose and get real. This is for more money and contacts with facebook. They could EASILY find thousands of people willing to mod the forums for free, but they "choose" this.
So anonymity through obscurity is good. Not sure how that's different than anonymity through an alias except those with unique RL names have less protection under one system and equal protection under the other.

Not really , a big brother state is a state where the government knows all of your moves . In this case the government would be blizzard . No what this leads to is ANARCHY , which is even worse than a police state . (in a police state the government only has the power to abuse while in anarachy everyone has it . And before only blizzard could abuse your personal data , now any random troll could abuse your real name . So ye: anarchy.)

We're arguing from points of views from different generations...
I'll pose this question. If it's so bad to post your real name online, how come the most popular website in the world now is Facebook?
I'll admit, I still don't use facebook, never saw the attraction to it.. Maybe it's because I never got along with the jerks I was stuck going to school with, or perhaps becasue I dumped my ex's for good reasons and have no desire to hook up with them, ever again..

Or about people telling things like "im going to the bathroom now" on facebook. Or better employees who tell their employers they can't work because they're sick and than post images of them on holiday => Bam FIRED! So ye . Or other people use it just like they use MSN and don't share their information with anyone who is not their facebook friends .

In the recently concluded first Test at Lord's against New Zealand, Ben Stokes, Alastair Cook and Joe Root each had a Match Impact of more than 9. This is only the first time in Test history that three players from the same team have had a Match Impact of more than 9.
In the last one year in Test cricket, Kane Williamson is the highest impact batsman in the world. He is also the only batsman to have produced two series-defining performances (against West Indies and Pakistan) in this time-frame.
Joe Root is the highest impact English Test batsman in the last five years ahead of Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen. In this time-frame, he is also the third-highest impact batsman in the world after AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla. (Min: 25 Tests)
MS Dhoni's batting failure rate of 40% in IPL 2015 is his second-worst in any of the IPL editions so far. His worst was in IPL 2012 where he had a failure rate of 41%.
Virat Kohli's Batting Impact in IPL knockouts/playoffs: 1.66 in 6 matches (50% failure rate).
Kohli's Batting Impact in the rest of his IPL career: 1.99 in 113 matches (36% failure rate).
Amongst the teams that have qualified for the IPL 2015 playoffs, RR have the least number of players (three players) in their squad who have given a tournament-defining performance in any T20 tournament. RCB have five such players, MI have six and CSK have 11.
The highest impact uncapped Indian players in IPL 2015 so far are: Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel and Shreyas Iyer.
The highest impact New Zealand players in Tests played in England are: Dion Nash, Chris Cairns and Daniel Vettori. All three of them produced a series-defining performance during New Zealand's tour to England in 1999 where they won the four-match Test series 2-1.
Parvinder Awana has picked up the third-most proportion of top/middle order wickets in IPL history (after Lasith Malinga and Ashish Nehra) but surprisingly still hasn't got a game in IPL 2015.
Peter May is the highest impact English Test batsman ever, above the likes of Hobbs and Hutton. He absorbed the maximum pressure (of falling wickets) in English Test cricket history.

First, I turned the circuit breaker off to the range. Then, I pulled the range out so that I could get to the screws which held the glass top in place. They were located on the sides of the range. I had to remove the trim pieces on the sides to get to the forward screws. Once that was done, I lifted the glass top, unplugged the wire harness, flpped it over on a protected surface. I noted the numbers on the old coil where the clips held it in place and put the clips on the new coil in the same place. The old wires just clipped on to the new coil exactly as they clipped on to the old coil. I put it all back together and it works great! I am a 70 year old woman who did this all by myself. You young guys should have no problem.

I LOVE phone sex. But, it is how I started to act out my fantasies with men. I actually started doing it when it cost 2.99 a minute, and it was before I was married. I started again later after married. I am an auditory person, and I can not watch porn with out sound. It does it for me, but it does lead to wanting the real thing.ReplyDelete

Stevens guilty on 7 counts, won't quit Senate race
Taking nothing for granted, Begich said merely, "This past year has been a difficult time for Alaskans, but our people are strong and resilient and I believe that we will be able to move forward together to address the critical challenges that face Alaska."
Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said, "The verdict shines a light on the corrupting influence of the big oil service company that was allowed to control too much of our state. It was part of the culture of corruption I was elected to fight. And that fight must always move forward regardless of party or seniority or even past service."
"I'm confident Senator Stevens will do what's right for the people of Alaska."
Carl Shepro, a professor of political science at the University of Alaska in Anchorage, said, "It's very possible that he's going to win the election."
Many Alaskans believe Stevens is being unjustly attacked, and that the charges against him don't amount to real corruption, Shepro said.
Democrats, hoping to pick up a long-sought Republican seat, have invested heavily in the race, running television advertisements starring fictional FBI agents and featuring excerpts from wiretaps introduced at the trial.
Stevens' conviction hinged on the testimony of Bill Allen, the senator's longtime friend and the founder of VECO. He testified he never billed Stevens for the work on the house and the senator knew he was getting a special deal.
Stevens spent three days on the witness stand, vehemently denying that allegation. He said his wife paid every bill they received.
Living in Washington, thousands of miles away, made it impossible to monitor the project every day, he said. Stevens relied on Allen to oversee the renovations, he said, and his friend deceived him by not forwarding all the bills.
Prosecutors used a barrage of witnesses to question how Stevens could have been in the dark about VECO's work on the project. VECO employees testified to seeing Stevens at the house. One left him a company business card. Stevens sent thank you notes to others.
Stevens' conviction is the highlight of a lengthy FBI investigation into Alaska corruption, but prosecutors noted that it is not the end. Stevens' longtime Republican colleague, Rep. Don Young, remains under investigation for his ties to VECO. Stevens' son, Ben, a former Alaska lawmaker, is also under investigation.
Stevens is a legendary figure in Alaska, where he has wielded political influence since before statehood. His knack for steering billions of dollars in federal money to his home state has drawn praise from his constituents but consternation from others.
Stevens is the fifth senator convicted of criminal charges. The last previous one was Republican David Durenberger of Minnesota, who was indicted in 1993 on charges of conspiring to make fraudulent claims for Senate reimbursement of $3,825 in lodging expenses. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and was sentenced to one year of probation and a $1,000 fine.
The jury left the court without comment.
Said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan: "The jurors have unanimously told me that no one has any desire to speak to any member of the media. They have asked to go home and they are en route home."
They had been a story all by themselves after deliberations began last Wednesday.
They complained of stress and violent outbursts in the jury room. They tried to expel one of their members. They asked to go home early. Then one of them said her father had died, and she was allowed to go home to California. Then she couldn't be reached.
The judge put an alternate on the jury on Monday, and within hours there was a verdict.

I am beeming right now, so happy and proud of my little guy. Every lesson since we have moved to the new barn has ended on such a great note and we have progressed so much! My little guy is stepping up the plate and doing his job and I can see the light bulb come one many times in our lessons!
This last weekend I was able to geta private lesson, much needed one and was tring a dressage saddle out that would have worked great but the owner of it flaked out...oh well. We did lots of bending and change in rein I n the trot, really worked on bringing him back and balancing him through our leg yields Worked on getting him to sit and smoothly go into the canter not just jump into it and brace through the poll and throatlatch! To the left is fro sure his eaiser way so we will start warming up to the right now.
We are still having issues with him suddenly pretending the arena doors are horse eating monsters and he is getting very good at dropping his inside shoulder and almost bloting into the midle of the arena.... This has gotten so old I am so sick of it. I have found if I growl and really hold him with my outside rein and kick hard with my inside leg he wont buldge nad drop his should as much but I should NOT have to work this hard for a stupid door....he is 5 and needs to get over this...nothing bad has ever happend with these door or any others since I have owned him its likea game he plays...cause when he is in a lesson with a less experainced person he doenst do it all and takes great care of him...exoect for two weks ago in his wnesday lesson with my friend (she rides him every wensday evening) and my trainer had to get one to get him to knock it off and she hada hard time with it, as soon as Cenia got back o he acted like it wasnt as big of a deal but would eye it and give it some room just didnt drop and budgle the shoulder. He is a small little guy and quick!!!
Anyways back to him being good, had to get hat out though cause its so darn frustrating!!! We are back to gymnastics and small 3-4 courses and he has so much scope!! He keeps up wth gator, a 16.2 hand TB gelding with a very large stride ( oliver is only 15.1..if that haha)
We looked at the calender for show seaosn and have a few jumper shows to go to and then end of summer might be doing abigger series! So excited....no if only that's shoulder would stay were it needs to.....
We hope to havea couple outings beofre show seaosn and havea lesson or two with an outside trainer that my trainer works with to see how he handles being out and about and a new place with lots of horses :)
Anywasy that's enough about how good my little guy has been in the last couple weeks :) Got a jumping lesson friday :) I will try to get someone to do video of us so you guys can tell me what you think :)

Re: My Boat was Hit Bad
Sorry to see the damage to your boat (your home!). Marine insurance varies country to country. Might be worth paying a limited amount for legal advice, given that you live in litigacious USA. When my neighbor's boat dragged and hit my boat in a storm, we both reported it to our insurance companies, which turned out to be the same company. Although both boats were repaired satisfactorily, the insurance company said the blame was shared and wanted both of us to pay deductables. Fortunately my neighbor is a good guy and paid my deductable out of his own pocket. You are right to go after the power boater's insurance company. If you involve your insurance company, make sure that they know you are exercising your "right of subrogation" to go after the other party for full damages. Good luck. Hope you have a speedy resoution.

French Open: Day 1 preview and picks
By Net Prophet
Here we go. I am the guy who will be covering the French Open on a daily basis.
You may wonder, who is this guy? Well, I don't blame you.
I have the pressure of delivering winning picks and worthwhile return on your tennis bets, but most importantly, I need to convince most of you that wagering on tennis is as profitable as betting on the NFL, NBA or NHL.
It will reassure you that my professional life revolves around tennis. I have been working in the tennis world for some time now, travelling to most tournaments and knowing most of the players. My insights will give you good guidance from an inside perspective while being at the French Open.
I wish to stress, however, that my predictions will not reveal any information that can invade the privacy of the player or go against any inside information (current injuries, personal issues, gossip, etc).
During this hectic period, I quickly found time to write my Day 1 picks. It is important to note that for the past two years, the French Open has scheduled some matches starting Sunday. The reasons for this is not totally clear, but the argument is that the length of the matches on clay mixed with the heavy schedule of a Grand Slam often leads to some matches being played over two days.
Starting on Sundays allows the organizers to free up the schedule for the following days and ease up the court shuffle.
The players' lounge is now as packed as it can get with most players and agents trying to book practice courts to get the best feel of the courts. You can already feel the tension mounting.
It makes sense to give you matches that offer a reasonable return rather than boring you with low odds favorites.
Reading from top to bottom on the Sunday schedule, the first matchup that I fancy is Emilie Loit from France to beat the Swiss player Bacscinszky.
Loit has the same small stature as Henin and plays at a similar intensity when she plays. She is unfortunate to have been prone to injuries during her career but she often tends to come back strong. She is an excellent clay-court player, having already won a few WTA events on this surface.
Her opponent, Bacsinszky, will be playing her first match since suffering a leg injury six weeks ago. Potentially, the young Swiss player is very talented but she has struggled this year. Her lack of preparation on clay before such a big event against a competitive French player such as Loit in front of home supporters should be too much.
Next down the list catching my attention and worth a small stake due to its interesting odds is young Frenchman Ouanna to beat the Spanish player Granollers.
Big guy Ouanna was an excellent junior player, winning the Australian Open junior in 2003 before placing second the following year. His game adapts well to all surfaces and his aggressive style mixed with his charismatic personality should attract the crowd. I am convinced you would have heard more about him if it was not for all the injuries he has endured in the past five years. He won a challenger event a few weeks ago on clay which most certainly has helped him gain the wild card.
It would not surprise me if the match went to five sets with Ouanna having the edge at the end. His opponent Granollers has been disappointing this season on clay, recording only seven wins for 10 losses. I had expected the Spaniard to do better in Kitzbuhel last week as he tends to like the faster clay.
Three matches that have decent odds and that I would consider are Montcourt, Brands and Lisnard all to win.
Montcourt is playing Yen-Hsun Lu from Taipei, a good player but on clay his flat style of play does not give him much success. He is yet to win a match on clay as far I can remember. Montcourt is a talented player who could get his long awaited breakthrough at the French Open this year.
Brands revealed himself at Munich this year, reaching the semifinals. He plays an attractive game that suits all surfaces. He had some promising wins during the qualies against good clay players, confirming his ascension in the rankings. He should be well accustomed to the conditions when playing Robert Kendrick, who is yet to be as effective on clay as he is on hard courts.
Finally the small player Lisnard from Monaco is considered a Frenchman since he changed nationalities a few years ago. He is a dangerous clay-court player who spends most of his time at the back of the court. He is tough to play on this surface and Dudi Sela will have to change something in his game if he wants to start imposing his counter attack on clay.
Picks of the day:
Loit to beat Bacszinsky
Ouanna to beat Granollers
Montcourt to beat Lu
Brands to beat Kendrick
Lisnard to beat Sela

Maggie Meiners
Primarily self-trained, Maggie Meiners has had a passion for photography since her childhood and has been shooting photos since 2000. Her work focuses on documenting the beauty, complications, emotions and surprises of everyday life.
She sees form and art in something most people would not, and brings it to light in a photograph. It doesn't necessarily matter what the subject is, but whether or not it is open for interpretation. She has the ability to give new information and provide the viewer with insight into a quality that they cannot ordinarily experience. Maggie's compositions are direct, to the point of appearing minimal, while her subject matter, conversely discloses significant complexity. In all of her projects, she challenges herself to push technical norms and include compelling and thought provoking images.
Maggie's work has most recently been seen as part of the Chicago Project-Catherine Edelman Gallery, the Anne Loucks Gallery in Glencoe and is currently up at HBF Textiles in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. She has also exhibited at various museums and colleges around the country. Maggie's work is included in numerous public and private collections including, Harrison Street Lofts, Wheaton College, and the Illinois Institute of Art.
Maggie currently serves on the Board of the Filter Photo Festival, is a member of the Advisory Committee at the Museum of Contemporary Photography and is the Founder of Co-Star Collective.
Maggie grew up outside of Chicago and continues to have her work regularly featured at galleries, executive offices and private collections.

Myanmar election offers no comfort for refugees
MAE LA REFUGEE CAMP, Thailand It's no wonder that Saw Tun Wai has little desire to return to Myanmar, even after upcoming elections that its military rulers describe as a step toward democracy.
The wiry 52-year-old teacher fled to Thailand on foot over rugged mountain terrain in 2006, escaping a vicious and largely unseen army campaign against ethnic rebels that shows no sign of ending.
"The government (falsely) accused me of being a partner of the revolution," said Saw Tun Wai, who belongs to the Karen ethnic group. "I was beaten and forced into making a confession." Then, he said, he was press-ganged into working for the army as a porter.
The prospects that the Nov. 7 election will bring change to their homeland seem negligible to the 150,000 refugees in Thai camps near the border with Myanmar, also known by its old name, Burma.
The military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party is a shoe-in to top the polls, the first in two decades. A constitution imposed by the military in 2008 ensures that the generals will call the shots for the foreseeable future anyway.
The elections, said Saw Tun Wai, now a teacher in the Mae La refugee camp, offer no hope for positive change, "neither for the Karen, nor for any of the people in Burma." His hope is to one day become eligible for resettlement in another country.
For the refugees, a more immediate concern is a possible shift in the attitude of Thai officials, who have indicated that they might send them home sometime after the election.
The first camp was established in the mid-1980s. Thousands of refugees have been resettled overseas under U.N. auspices, but a constant stream of new arrivals swells the populations of the nine camps, scattered along the Thai side of the border.
Picturesque streams and dirt lanes crisscross Mae La, the largest camp with an estimated 47,000 inhabitants.
In a dirt-floor tea shop, men smoke Burmese cheroots, chatting over shots of sugary milk tea and the blare of Thai music videos. The voices of children, chanting lessons in Burmese and English, come out of the many bamboo schoolhouses.
The prospect that Thailand may consider Myanmar's election a turning point toward justice and democracy - justifying the refugees' return - casts a shadow over their future.
Sharp international criticism forced Thai authorities to abort a planned repatriation in February of 3,000 Karen refugees from another camp to an area believed to be littered with land mines.
That came just a few months after Thailand forcibly repatriated more than 4,000 ethnic Hmong refugees to Laos, despite international fears they would face persecution.
At the end of September, Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya set off fresh jitters.
Speaking in New York, he said that he would launch "a more comprehensive program for the Myanmar people in the camps, the displaced persons, the intellectuals that run around the streets of Bangkok and Chiang Mai province, to prepare them to return to Myanmar after the elections."
Kasit's remarks were vague, and the Foreign Ministry later said Thailand wants to prepare the refugees to go home "when the situation in their country becomes conducive for their eventual return."

Every week, Denver Health puts together a list of 10 to 30 patients who should be getting discharged or transferred-but can't for a variety of complicated reasons. Many of the patients require a long-term care or skilled nursing facility, but the patient's complex medical regime or lack of insurance prevents the transfer. Other patients have psychosocial or legal issues, such as a mental illness or lack of a legal guardian, that make discharges difficult.
Since 2008, a cross-disciplinary team at Denver Health-the Complex Discharge Committee-has been identifying novel approaches to ensure safe discharges for these complicated cases.
For example, several years ago Denver Health collaborated with the Denver Probate Court to install a video conferencing system-at the hospital's expense-so frail, legally incompetent patients could participate in guardianship hearings from the hospital instead of a courtroom. These patients usually do not have a next of kin who is willing or suitable to serve as a guardian to make decisions about their care or placement.
"Based on this experience and other executive-level interventions, we brought together a team-the C-suite, social workers, nurses, and other staff-that understood these barriers and could make innovative decisions to facilitate transition to the next level of care for these patients," says Thomas MacKenzie, MD, chief quality officer, Denver Health, a 477-bed safety net hospital in Denver.
The committee's work has helped lower the hospital's average length of stay (LOS) for adult nonobstetric patients by a full day-from five to four days-in three years time. "We think the return on reducing LOS has been about $2 million to $3 million annually," says MacKenzie.
Fourteen hospital leaders are involved in this cross-disciplinary approach to reducing discharge delays.
The committee meets every Wednesday morning to review a list of patients who have been in the hospital for more than 10 days and focuses discussion on the 10 to 30 patients who have the potential to be discharged or transferred.
The committee then assesses the resources needed to move the patients on the list to the next level of care, says Darlene Ebert, general counsel. Common solutions include the following:
"We collect information from the nurses who are taking care of these patients, the medical team, utilization management, social work, physical therapy, and occupational therapy so we can make the best disposition decisions," says MacKenzie.
Sometimes Denver Health must invest funds to help ensure discharges or transfers. For example, the committee sent a Spanish-speaking clinician to accompany a patient who was hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury back to his family in Central America. The clinician brought a wheelchair and other equipment that the patient's family would need to take care of him at home.
"It made financial sense for us because the bed was being occupied, and it made long-term sense for the patient because he had family who wanted to care for him at home but were unable to travel to the U.S.," says MacKenzie.
MacKenzie says the work of the Complex Discharge Committee would be less successful without the commitment and involvement of the hospital's C-suite. "Many of our successful interventions would not have worked without the insight of individuals like our CFO, our chief medical officer, or our general counsel," he says.

Meeting OpenOffice.org Developers
Productivity Sauce
Although OpenOffice.org is an open source project with its own community, the core team that does the bulk of the actual coding and quality assurance is based in Hamburg, Germany. Recently, I had a chance to visit the developers behind this key open source project. The Sun offices in Hamburg occupy three floors of a rather large business complex in an industrial area not far from downtown Hamburg. It's a surprisingly quiet and green area with a couple of decent restaurants around, which local businesses, including Sun, use for lunch breaks. The atmosphere in Sun's offices was relaxed, and I, in my shirt and shiny shoes, was definitely overdressed for the occasion. I was greeted by Ocke Janssen, one of three guys responsible for developing the OpenOffice.org Base application and the sole developer of the Sun Report Builder extension. He was later joined by Christoph Lukasiak, who manages the QA community.
The main purpose of my visit was to talk with Ocke about the Sun Report Builder extension, but, as it often happens, we ended up discussing all possible OpenOffice.org-related topics. Eventually, the name Michael Meeks came up. If you know the background story, you might imagine that not many OpenOffice.org developers subscribe to his views. Michael Meeks has been one of the most vocal critics of the way Sun manages the OpenOffice.org project, accusing the company of having a tight grip on the project and making it virtually impossible for other developers to contribute to the project. According to Ocke and Chris, none of this could be farther from the truth. Although the OpenOffice.org team is part of Sun Microsystems, the suite's developers don't benefit from this fact in terms of raw developer manpower. The OpenOffice.org developers are paid by Sun and use the company's pretty impressive hardware, but that is pretty much all that Sun contributes to the project. So if you think that there are hundreds of Sun engineers writing OpenOffice.org code every single day, you'd be dead wrong. The core of the OpenOffice.org project comprises about 150 people who take care of everything, from on-line documentation and quality assurance to actual development and bug fixing. And Ocke's to-do list was concrete proof of his hefty workload.
But what about submitting the upstream patches by third-party developers? "Everybody is more than welcome to contribute to the project," said Chris, "even Michael Meeks. But if you want to do that, you have to adhere to some rules designed to ensure the overall quality and stability of the productivity suite. "You can't just say 'Hey, I have a great idea!' and throw some code at us," Chris continued, "you have to take care of other things, which some contributors either don't care about or find boring." Moreover, all OpenOffice.org developers seemed genuinely interested in the users' feedback. Ocke said that even if you don't have time to submit a bug when you find one, you can always send a report when the suite crashes. The report doesn't contain any personal information, but it does help to identify and fix the issue.
Later, Ocke showed me around and introduced me to the other guys working on the OpenOffice.org project, and it was really great to meet all of them in person. During lunch, Chris kindly offered to show me the city -- an offer you can't refuse. It turned out that Chris knew a lot about Hamburg and he showed me a few interesting places that I would never have discovered on my own. All in all, it was a fantastic visit that helped me to better understand how the OpenOffice.org developers work. And I'm very grateful to Ocke and Chris for taking almost an entire day out of their busy schedules to be my hosts. Thanks guys!comments powered by Disqus

A woman who became the subject of a national debate after she was convicted of exposing students at Norwich's Kelly Middle School to pornographic images in 2004 has been charged with setting fire to her Windham home last year in order to collect insurance proceeds.
State police detectives allege in an arrest warrant affidavit that Julie Amero-Volle, a 47-year-old Mystic native, was desperate for money and on a heroin binge when she staged a burglary and used fireworks to ignite her home at 279 Indian Hollow Road in the early-morning hours of Aug. 27, 2013. She was charged April 7 with first-degree arson, providing a false statement and insurance fraud. She posted a $50,000 bond and has not yet entered a plea in the case, which is being heard in Superior Court in Danielson. Her next court date is May 19.
The Windham Fire Department, called to the scene at 1:15 a.m., extinguished the blaze, but the entire second floor sustained damage. Investigators ruled the fire was intentionally set in a center bedroom located on the second floor. Amero-Volle blamed the fire on two of her former students at Windham High School, whom she said were drug addicts who occasionally stayed at her home and with whom she had used cocaine in the past.
It was unclear whether Amero-Volle was employed at Windham High School at the time of her arrest. The school's personnel and communications officers could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.
Amero-Volle had received national attention after a Norwich jury convicted her in 2006 of four counts of risk of injury to a minor. The state alleged she intentionally exposed students to pornographic images while substitute teaching in a seventh-grade class at Kelly Middle School. Several students testified about seeing sexual images of women on the screen of the computer that Amero-Volle was using. The defense argued the images were pop-ups that she could not close. Professors and computer experts came to her defense, and the case was portrayed on national TV news and talk shows.
Amero-Volle's conviction was set aside in 2007 based on information that the jury may have received erroneous evidence. Facing another trial, she pleaded guilty six months later to the reduced charge of disorderly conduct. She paid a $100 fine and agreed to give up her teaching license.
Amero-Volle's husband, Wes Volle, who had strenuously supported her while her Internet porn case was pending, died in 2011. A real estate agent told investigators Amero-Volle had been trying to sell her house for more than a year and had reduced the price three times leading up to the fire, according to the warrant affidavit. Her real estate agent told investigators Amero-Volle had received an offer of $189,000 on the day before the fire and she had unexpectedly raised the price by $10,000. She filed an insurance claim after the fire and was set to receive a possible total payout of $312,500, according to the affidavit.
The new case against her involves several witnesses in their late teens or early 20s who told investigators they used drugs with her and that she had talked about staging a burglary, burning the house down to collect insurance proceeds and selling her guns.
One witness, identified as a 22-year-old male, told detectives he went to Amero-Volle's house around 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 26 looking for a friend who usually stayed there, according to the affidavit. He said Amero-Volle asked if he had any drugs. He said he gave her 10 bags of heroin that were meant for his friend and that she used all of them. He said Amero-Volle drove him to Mansfield and on the way back, pulled a gun out of her purse, placed it on her chest and said, "Let's go shoot some people tonight." He said she was acting crazy and driving at speeds of 80 to 90 mph and that she dropped him off in Willimantic about 12:30 a.m.
Amero-Volle told first responders to the fire that she had brought her dog to a neighbor's house and watched a movie that night. She said as she was walking down the neighbor's driveway after the movie ended she noticed flames coming out of a second-story bedroom of her home. She said she entered the home to find a sliding glass door open, a television knocked over, a closet ripped off its hinges in the master bedroom and dresser drawers open.
The neighbor initially confirmed that Amero-Volle was at her house that night but later told investigators that Amero-Volle called her, told her the house was on fire and asked her to tell police the two of them had been watching a movie together. She and other neighbors reported that Amero-Volle often set off fireworks at her house and that they had heard or seen fireworks before the fire.
Investigators found evidence of fireworks in the room where the fire started, but a photograph of the room taken by the potential buyer seven hours before the fire was reported does not show any fireworks in the room, according to the affidavit.
Confronted by police the day after the fire, Amero-Volle admitted she had lied about watching a movie with the neighbor and admitted to using heroin that night and placing a gun on her chest. She admitted she had been trying to sell her guns and vehicle but denied setting the fire or staging a burglary.

Gay Marriage Debate - Lake Stevens, WA
Do you support gay marriage?
United States
#1 Aug 3, 2010
Marriage is between a man and a woman.Gay people know IT. That's why they fight it so much. They are never happy and they never will be.They want what spiritually they can not have.
#2 Aug 3, 2010
There is no debate. Heaven is not a democracy. And the Lord's Word is quite clear thatit is abomination.

Marriage is a social contract. It should be entered into by any two people who want it.
Gender assignment is somewhat ambiguous anyway. If you could see what is actually in some peoples pants, you wouldn't be so clear cut with your answer.
#7 Aug 11, 2010
Well reproduction is what keeps a civilization/society/way of life going. Not enough new people it slowly comes to an end. Every man and woman needs to have 2.3 kids to keep it growing. If they have only 1.7 the it dies off. Gay couples can not reproduce themselves plain and simple, if they can not reproduce then I say why should they be married.

With the heterosexual community spawning 3+ kids per couple (have you checked the population of the planet lately?) I don't think we are any where near needing to worry about that. In fact China's policy of one child per couple sounds like a damned good idea until this Planet's human population is back below 500,000,000 IMHO!!!
In a very visible case in our vicinity one of a lesbian couple was mortally wounded in a flood. Her partner was not allowed to visit her as she lay dying because she was not recognized as a family member.
THAT and a number of other domestic partner related reasons is WHY.
#9 Aug 11, 2010
So being married is so you can visit someone you care about in the hospital. Ever hear about Power of Attorney. I know it is to late once the partner is in the hospital. But guess you did not care enough before hand to get one.
Among different societies/religions there are different birth rates. The ones that practice homosexuallity openly have the lower reproduction rates.
Sorry I was thinking US birth rates which is crazy I guess, Since this is a US issue. The birth rate is only at 1.4 among american citizens and has not been higher than 1.4 since 1992.

Typical religitard. Our religion does not dominate the planet, so lets make MORE BABIES!! Never mind the Earths resources can not support the 5,000,000,000 already here!! Everybody do the horizontal bop more than the other guys!!! Like it never occurs to you nitwits that mass starvations and unconscionable social actions will eventually be necessary.
"Power of Attorney" indeed. Let's level the playing field then. Only married people who have had the foresight to sign a "Power of Attorney" in advance should be allowed to see a dying spouse. How does it sound to you to have to live by the same stupid rule?
If you don't have the foresight to curb population growth to stop your grand children from needing to eat each other, I'm quite sure it would never occur to you to have a "Power of Attorney" for your spouse.
#11 Aug 12, 2010
I know our religon sure does not dominate the planet. Our religon as you put will be non-exsistent, because of the birth rate with in it. Just think about the muslim birth rate compared to ours. If all religons got along it would not be an issue.

So, why isn't putting all your efforts into getting along with other people more important than making more babies than someone else can kill??
#13 Aug 13, 2010
I never said making babies was more important, then getting along with others. I just stated the lack of making babies (homosexuallity) in our american society is one thing bringing about its down fall. Therefore I do not support homosexuality as an accepted way of life because it is self-consuming. I want my children and there children to have a good American way of life.

Allowing homosexuality is not the same as REQUIRING homosexuality to be the norm. No one is suggesting that non-homosexuals MUST enter into homosexual relationships. This is what you are suggesting when you say it would cause society to collapse and this is why you are confused.
By your own theory, if homosexuals were allowed to marry, they would eliminate themselves from society within a generation, leaving an entirely heterosexual community. This is what you want, I believe. So by this logic, you SHOULD SUPPORT homosexual marriage to allow them to eliminate themselves.
UNLESS you are trying to trap a secretly homosexual person into being required to heterosexually marry you. Is this the case??
#15 Aug 13, 2010
It not that the Homosexuals are self-consuming and gonna destroy themsleves, but that they are taking the heterosexual America with them. In ways of giving other Religons/socieities an big advantage in destroying/take-over America through reproduction and imigration.
On a personal level I could less about your sexual persuasion. But I will not support as an accepted way of life because it is self comsuming generation suicide.
Thanks for your perceptions and attacks on my personna. From what I see in your forum comments I take that you are anti-children, could not get laid by the opposite sex, and in the guise of world population control and compassion are willing to sacrifice the American way of life for future generations of Americans (if they will be called that in 50 or 100 years).

How EXACTLY does someone else being homosexual impact heterosexual reproduction. REALLY!! I'm dying to know. Do you incorporate homosexuals into your sexual activity somehow??
#18 Aug 13, 2010
Why are you so interested in my sexual activity?
As a society it does. If you have say 1,000,000 in your society, ideally that would be 500,000 pairs of heterosexuals producing 2 kids each to keep the society at the same population from generation to generation. But if of that 1,000,000 you have 700,000 heterosexual and 300,000 Homosexual that leaves 350,000 pairs heterosexuals and if they still produce 2 kids. The society will keep diminishing until it ceases.
Granted this is a simplistic representation, with no mortality issues other than old age.

Why are you so interested in homosexual people's activity?
So if you have 350,000 pairs of heterosexuals in a pure heterosexual society, that society will thrive and grow.
But if you have the SAME 350,000 pairs of heterosexuals with 150,000 homosexual pairs sprinkled in, this will disrupt the heterosexual sexual activity so much the entire society will die?
Tell me how is that? How can that possibly be? Unless you as a heterosexual are so pre-occupied with homosexual activity that you can't procreate?
Why do you have your mind in the homosexual's pants so much??

Royal Mail: Myners report clears government over sell-off
Former minister says Royal Mail share price could have been set £180m higher – but it would have been risky
A report commissioned by Vince Cable from Lord Myners, the former Labour city minister, has broadly backed the way the Royal Mail sell-off was handled despite finding that the new company was undervalued by £180m and calling for greater transparency.
Myners said the privatisation was handled with "considerable professionalism" and represented "significant value" for the taxpayer.
As for the initial price of shares in Royal Mail, The Guardian recalls that opponents of the sell-off, including some MPs, have claimed it was set as much as £1bn too low.
Myners's figure of a £180m undervaluation is comparatively modest, therefore. He told the BBC that "if any money had been left on the table it was pretty small".
The extra £180m could have been earned if the share price had been set 30p higher, says Myners in his report. But he adds that doing so would have involved "substantial" risk.
However, Myners did say lessons could be learnt for future privatisations. He called for greater transparency and suggested using digital auctions which would "make the sale process much more flexible".
Royal Mail's share price leapt by 38 per cent from its initial price of 330p on the first day of trading in October 2013. They later peaked at 615p, prompting anger from MPs and others. The price yesterday was 394p.
In a report that broadly exonerates the government, the former minister writes: "I regard the Royal Mail privatisation to have been a complex exercise executed with considerable professionalism. Many previous governments attempted to sell but failed.
"The sale was done against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty and a threat of industrial action, which go a long way towards explaining the cautious approach taken throughout the process.
"We found no evidence to challenge the general assertion that an IPO price greater than 350-360p could have been achieved and we accept that a decision to revise the range would have come with added uncertainty and risk. The right decisions were made."
Royal Mail shares dive as profits fall by a fifth
19 November
Royal Mail shares fell by almost six per cent when trading began this morning after the company announced a 21 per cent fall in half-year profits.
Competition from online sellers offering same-day delivery and other courier services continues to put pressure on the recently privatised mail service.
Royal Mail bosses said they had halved the company's expected growth rate for UK package deliveries to just one or two per cent after a push from e-retailers such as Amazon to offer parcel delivery options of their own.
Pension costs also contributed to the £279 million fall in operating costs, Sky News reports.
Overall letter volume fell by three per cent, but profits from letter delivery increased by one per cent due to increased stamp charges.
In spite of the fall in profits, chief executive Moya Greene said: "I am pleased with our overall performance. We have delivered two per cent revenue growth together with margin expansion, in line with our expectations."
She added that Royal Mail was would work with e-retailers "to be more flexible" and that Royal Mail may accept different types of parcels it had previously declined to deliver.
Greene said that the postal service would introduce later acceptance times and weekend collection to help retailers to deliver goods more quickly.
Michael Hewson of CMC Markets told The Guardian that deliveries are becoming an increasingly difficult market: "The explosion in on-line retailing, click and collect delivery and the use of mobile apps this year is likely to see fierce competition between logistics providers with UK Mail, UPS and Fedex likely to provide plenty of competition, while the recent tie-up between Amazon and Connect Group to provide a 24-hour service for parcel delivery to selected local locations, like underground stations, newsagents and shopping centres, could make a significant dent in Royal Mail's revenue, particularly since Amazon is Royal Mail's largest parcel customer."
Royal Mail shares fell from 477p to 449.45p in the first hour of trading, before recovering slightly to 455.5p by 9.30am.
When the company was privatised just over a year ago shares were sold at 330p each. They peaked at 604.5p in January this year.
Royal Mail shares plummet after parcel revenue warning
22 July
Royal Mail shares have plummeted to their lowest level since the company was privatised in October, following warnings that the parcels revenue for the year would be lower than expected.
The company warned that price changes and competition from its rivals have hit its parcels business, with revenue down one per cent in the three months to 29 June compared to the same period in 2013.
The company said it was still likely to meet expectations for its overall annual performance, with revenues for the overall group climbing two per cent in the last quarter.
Nevertheless, stock dropped by as much as four per cent to 445.1p this morning – its lowest price since Royal Mail was floated in October. Shares were initially sold at 330p but immediately surged to 450p at the start of trading.
The sharp rise was, at the time, dismissed as "froth and speculation" by Business Secretary Vince Cable. He has since accepted demands by the National Audit Office for a review into the government's listing process.
The stock has been steadily declining since a peak of more than 600p in February.
Royal Mail said it had also been hit by the impact of Amazon's move to scrap free delivery on orders below £10 – although the company said it is "fighting back" with measures such as a new Sunday delivery service for online shoppers.
"It appears that the honeymoon period is over for Royal Mail as the realities of its competitive environment intensify," Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, tells The Guardian.
The Daily Telegraph says small investors "are still in the money after the controversial float, but their potential profits are slowly being whittled away".
A report from the Government's Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee, published earlier this month, found that taxpayers may have lost out on about £1bn from the undervaluing of Royal Mail.

Padres looking to brighter 2013 if starting pitching improves
The chance of a blockbuster deal – likely for starting pitching -- is certainly there if Byrnes entertains offers for Headley. Headley's trade value will never be higher.
But the new Padres owners are also on record saying they intend to keep homegrown talent that wants to remain with the Padres. Chase Headley would appear to be the poster boy for that type of commitment.
So the guess is that the Padres might not make a significant trade this winter while combing through the second-echelon list of starting pitchers to find the right match to serve as a bridge until their rehabbing pitchers get healthy.
The keys to 2013
Any repeat of the injuries in the starting rotation would again doom the Padres in 2013.
"I don't care what kind of talent you might have, you cannot have the devastating series of injuries that we had in the rotation this season and be successful," said Black. "Moving forward, we have to stay healthier in the rotation.
"I can't tell you right now who will be in the rotation to start the 2013 season. But once that group is formed, our success will depend on those five pitchers staying healthy."
Health will also be a consideration in left field. The Padres lineup was much more formidable when Carlos Quentin was in left and hitting in the cleanup slot this season. They say the surgery he had to his right knee will have him ready by spring training. But Quentin's medical history is not great. Huge question.
Another question will be the defense up the middle if rookie Jedd Gyorko wins the job at second and Logan Forsythe successfully unseats Everth Cabrera at short. That's what the Padres would like to see to improve the offense. But that is going to reduce the range at both short and second.
