I have a request. In the multiplayer setup hub thingy, can you add chat like Doomatic? While I know that such a feature wasn't in vanilla, neither is the built in support for dehacked and merging.

Very weak argument, although I often find myself refering to it when requesting features, too -- mostly unsuccessful, though. ;)

Phresh James - Chasing Karats
Artist: Phresh James
Producer: DJ Sharpsound
Album: TheGreaterGoodEP
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 5 votes )
For many rappers, the hustle for paper becomes such a priority that everything else about life becomes an afterthought. As Ferris Bueller wisely said, however, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Phresh James ain't about to let that happen. As the DJBooth regular and South Florida representative explains on new EP single Chasing Karats, his top priority isn't to collect gold and diamonds, but to enjoy himself and appreciate the precious "jewels" that life throws his way daily. The result? He may not be swimming in bucks just yet, but he's got peace of mind and a down chick who's not with him for the money. DJ Sharpsound provides a fittingly mellow instrumental backdrop for James' bars, overlaying a leisurely rhythm section with dreamy, sliced and diced samples. Like what you're hearing? You'll be able to find his record, along with the previously-featured ThinkingHat and much more on TheGreaterGoodEP, scheduled for digital release soon. In the meantime, you can still cop James' last project, Universal Lve Period, for free in the Booth.

Triple Helix: Designing a New Molecule of Life
By SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN

Thanks to SPS for the link.
Reposted from:
For all the magnificent diversity of life on this planet, ranging from tiny bacteria to majestic blue whales, from sunshine-harv est ing plants to mineral-digesting endoliths miles underground, only one kind of âlife as we know itâ exists. All these organisms are based on nucleic acids—DNA and RNA—and proteins, working together more or less as described by the so-called central dogma of molecular biology: DNA stores information that is transcribed into RNA, which then serves as a template for producing a protein. The proteins, in turn, serve as important structural elements in tissues and, as enzymes, are the cellâs workhorses.
Yet scientists dream of synthesizing life that is utterly alien to this world—both to better understand the minimum components required for life (as part of the quest to uncover the essence of life and how life originated on earth) and, frankly, to see if they can do it. That is, they hope to put together a novel combination of molecules that can self-organize, metabolize (make use of an energy source), grow, reproduce and evolve.

I had to replace the faucet in the kitchen sink orignnally. However since I use a porteable dishwasher, its hose connects to the kitchen faucet. The new faucets aerator is threaded differently than the old so that the dishwasher adapter would not screw in. I had misplaced the adappter kit that came with the dishwasher last year, so I ordered the adapter from partselect.com. when the part came a few day it was a simple as screw out the old aerator, screwing in the new adapted and then putting the modified aerator from the old faucet back in so that the dishwasher can be connected as needed.

Re: Latency on mobile
I've not noticed https being noticeably slower over 3G. 3G is high latency for all connections. But if you use SDPY you should get TLS with lower latency.

I don't agree. For this kind of high-level comparison the version families can be compared and would demonstrate growth in market-share for Windows 8 due to 8.1.
Windows 8 seems to be replicating Windows Vista with businesses preferring to skip it and the majority of consumers put off by the UI despite undoubted technical improvements.
These desktop website visitor stats should be accompanied by the desktop vs. mobile trend, which I suspect will show desktop continuing to shrink.
Except for public service broadcasters who are obliged to provide free to air signals. In Germany there has been some controversy due to the decision of some private channels to stop using DVB-T because of the apparently negative cost/benefit ratio with most of their punters already using satellite.
DVB-T in Germany is nothing like as healthy as it is in the UK: fewer channels (though it still manages to have a load of shit) and no HD, so LTE might manage to fill a niche. However, the topography is against it: satellite is popular in rural areas where terrestrial propagation (UHF or phone) is poor and most cities have good cable coverage. TV over IP is already offered by all the large ISPs. So while TV over LTE might be an interesting technology it's got a lot of existing investment to compete with. DVB-H demonstrated a distinct lack of demand in being able to watch TV on the move.
I agree that Kies is a piece of shit. Fortunately, however, as it conflicts with the Android MTP on MacOS I had to remove it.
Regarding TouchWiz - there are bits of it I like over stock Android and bits I don't.
Regarding the bundled apps - some of them have some good stuff in them like the camera and the music player, others are pretty meh
I tried CyanogenMod on my S4 mini the other month and have stuck with it. It is faster than without but the reason I'm keeping it is to be able to manage my privacy settings now that nearly all apps are trying to access everything.
The S5 continues the trend of incremental improvements: water resistance and an even better screen. Great if you need a new phone but not enough to tempt me from my current perfectly usable one.
True, but PHP does also hand such developers a pre-loaded gun with an automatic foot sensor.
… it can take the initiative by contracting and publishing authors directly. Anything else is just bluster.
Less breathy than usual but still characterised by stating the bleeding obvious while leaving out important qualifiers.
The report cited refers to US households and these are not the same as the rest of the world: for one thing average broadband speeds in Europe are > 16 Mb/s
4k will succeed only if the programming becomes available. This will be possible for films, many of which have been produced digitally in similar resolutions for years now. But films aren't enough. In order to create significant consumer demand, sports programming will have to adopt the new format. AFAIK Sony was trialling 4k at the world cup. Presumably the results are being analysed to see whether studios are prepared to make the necessary kind of investment (cameras, studios, multiplexes, satellites, etc.) to offer it.
Inasmuch as the technology for the chain has not yet been finalised (HEVC and VP9 are both still in development) it's a little early to expect a major shift yet.
But the screens are a by-product of the ever higher pixel density of our handheld devices and as such will enter our homes in the replacement cycle as our current generation of tellies will probably need replacing sooner than the last - our first colour telly lasted around 25 years, the second around 10.
Or compare BBC on Freeview to the first days of OnDigital. I am sure BBC1 (in SD) looked better in 1999 than today.
I suspect you're looking at it on a better and larger telly than in 1999 so any artefacts introduced by compression are more obvious. I find the artefacts are more of a problem than the lower resolution when comparing SD and HD.
After spending twenty years applying a combination of price cuts, smart logistics, and ruthless efficiency
You forgot: underpaying workers, underpaying suppliers and using tax numerous dodging strategies.
Amazon's online shopping model is fundamentally flawed because individual delivery incurs very high costs. This is why margins have always been terrible.
To his credit Bezos has always been clear about his aims and impressive with innovation. AWS was an interesting development due to Amazon's need for massive computing power to cope with peaks such as Thanksgiving in America and Christmas around the world. Kindle and LoveFilm are both attempts to get out of the ruinous business of storing and shipping physical goods individually. Publishing and investing in video production are attempts to move up the value chain.
Well, in the Valley it will generally does mean all of Asia, though predominantly South Asia (India) and East Asia (China, Taiwan, Korea).
I'm surprised, too. What are people clicking on?
I do wonder whether some of this is driven by companies speculating that it's going to be effective allowing Facebook to keep rates high or whether it's simply selling the oodles of demographic data it has.
Already had one report from a friend of the new version crashing hard. Assuming my hardware (2009) is still supported I'll probably wait until at least the first patch release. I don't have any IOS devices so I don't really expect much from this release.
Charlie, do you mean that to exclude those with "extensive script-blocking" will reduce the target size?
No, I said and meant the opposite: most people don't run script-blockers and are thus easy to track using the standard methods.
Personally, I'm quite happy with Ghostery's blocking of the third party crap (all adslingers and trackers by default) but I'm under no illusion that I'm not trackable.
Sure, but factor out all those who don't have extensive script-blocking and your target size is much, much smaller.
Don't forget switching XP support off was supposed to give a huge boost to OS and Office revenues.
Samsung could probably buy the whole company with the spare change in the couch in the office of their CEO
Quite possibly but if it did it would destroy what makes ARM so attractive to all those licence-holders: none is in an unassailable position and they all get to share the pie. This is essential to compete in the embedded market where only huge volumes bring in meaningful revenue but is getting even more interesting as the capabilities (and power draw) of ARM and x86 start to converge. Not a few of those manufacturers are eyeing that $50 bn Intel figure and wondering just how much of that they'll get if ARM continues to grow.
Also, none of the licence-holders needs to worry about ARM taking their business: it doesn't make chips, doesn't have the engineers, and probably more importantly, the billions lying around for fabs.
Let's be honest -– dropping Android was always going to happen – so why didn't they just come out with it. While this may look like, and indeed very well may be, the left hand not knowing what the right is doing, it could all just be tied up in the financials: it was cheaper and easier for Microsoft to sack people than Nokia and this was reflected in the price of the deal, which was, by the way, paid for out of tax-shelter cash.
I suspect it's in comparison with the other latest versions but seeing as they are all shite it's a dubious distinction, even as an insult.
On Mac OS I'm sticking with my pre-E-Bay version; I've removed from my droids and Windows and hardly use it nowadays. The last straw was when screensharing was removed - I can still do that with my version but unfortunately others can't.
Sounds stupid enough to be true.
Along with the cognitive load of using and of these things there are simple mechanical considerations such as the effect on your steering as you lean over to touch or adjust anything.
The main problem, however, is enforcing much of this. Having a noisy family in the car is probably just as distracting and dangerous.
This is really a splatter-gun approach which fails to grasp the attack. Most of the points are reasonable, though I'd argue that a public server should only install and run the services that it needs. Coincidentally, this is OpenBSD approach.
As (some) others have noted the attack uses remote file inclusion on servers running PHP. There is a simple solution to that… ;-) If you do need PHP then configure it so that RFI is not possible. Relying on defaults and auto-updates in this case are not sufficient.
Using a CDN to soak up and scrub traffic is certainly a good start but your server will generally still be accessible via a sub-domain or via a port-scan.
I think you may be right. The speed of delivery seems to indicate it's not getting the most love. Now that Microsoft and Intel seem to have come up with a reasonable device with the Surface 3 Pro – reasonable as in a lightweight replacement for corporate laptops – I suspect they will be concentrating on that segment and maybe scaling for some purely business devices.
I wonder if this is the last of Lumia's with the spankingly good camera technology which Mr O wryly notes, has been more written about that bought.
Playing devil's advocate here rather than simply bashing Microsoft. I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
What I don't understand is how is competing in the "higher price tiers" the same as no to cheap Android but yes to cheap Windows Phone. I could understand something like "concentrate resources (and sack the rest…)" but that doesn't sound very much like a services first company. The decision, of course, was inevitable whether for brand or engineering reasons but how did Elop let it get so far?
And, as Mr Orlowski has pointed out elsewhere: where are the resources coming from to increase the speed of development? 8.1 has been a long-time in the making, breaks existing stuff and has been released buggy.
PS. you might think about enabling a spell-checker for your posts
as a result more existing Android users are switching to iOS than iOS users are switching to Android
I've not seen any stats outside the US to back that up. All-in-all the I-Phone is better hardware but the differences between the high-end devices are now minimal and I think the halo/lockin effect is diminishing: I know lots of people who have IOS and Android devices and are happy with that arrangement.
re. your other assertion about developers preferring IOS. I don't think that this is still the case. I recently read the first piece of an IOS developer praising Google for their support as his company starts to successfully sell to both platforms. Sure, the margins may be higher on IOS but the size of the Android market often more than makes up for that.
Actually, early on Samsung wasn't really part of the Android picture.
It's classical brand segmentation Brand X (leader) or Brand Y (challengers) or Aldi's own. Doing things worldwide fuzzes things up because Xiaomi is pretty much only available in China. Indeed Xiaomi's numbers suggest that these figures are heavily, and perhaps inevitably, skewed by the Chinese market. Other manufacturers may be doing well in smaller markets. Certainly HTC, Sony and Motorola have started to carve their own niches in the wake of Apple and Samsung.
Good for you that you're happy with that kind of aspirational advertising. Sounds like a load of bull (white not add "brings world peace" to the list?) to me but that just tells us we're different kinds of customers.
I like more specific uses that are relevant to me: phone, camera, mapping, e-mail, listen to music / audio books, battery life, cost, etc.
So Samsung has 5 models in the top 10 – we've no idea what the median or average sales are so the list is fairly meaningless (the 5c in the middle makes me suspicious) – and Apple 3. I If I was Samsung I'd be pretty happy with that, especially with the high margin phones doing so well.
The LibreSSL guys knew that throwing away tons of cruft was going to introduce bugs and problems…
Less code should mean fewer bugs. This looks like a test was missing: "untested code is broken code".
Yep, the release was exactly for this purpose. Whether the exploit is esoteric or not is by-the-by, it was something the developers hadn't thought of. It's been fixed and there is now a test for it.
The title of the paper is misleading but they do state quite clearly.
The target audience for our results is younger economists (graduate students, junior faculty) or researchers who have used the computer less often in the past for numerical analysis and who are searching for guideposts in their first incursions into computation.
The focus on different implementations and compilers is revealing as is the algorithm chosen. The aims to suggest what are the best tools for scientists/statisticians. These people are often not trained scientists and will use whatever tool they know to get a job done. In some situations this will be fine and dandy but in others it will have performance will be unacceptable and they will be open for solutions: using a specialised and optimised library; using a similar high-level language more suited to their task; or a different implementation of their current on; or faster hardware. Learning how to use a low-level language is usually not on the cards.
I wouldn't discount any minor gains for Facebook. A while ago they stated that they serve 600,000 images per second. That's 51.8bn images per day. If they manage to shave even half a kb off each, they save 24TB of bandwidth costs per day.
Sounds good but it's not that simple and the results of the compression are pretty disappointing in my view. Being able to server WebP where possible (ie. all Chrome users so about 40 %) will save a damn sight more without screwing the images much. But it may be something as simple as having a shitty library do the compressing (the tradeoff between speed and quality may actually be more important than bandwidth). Hence the interest in Mozilla's work.
But really, Mozilla, get with it and learn to love WebP.
Microsoft's JPEG-XR is not open source but it's also not worth bothering about. WebP via mod_pagespeed is probably the only sane thing to do (store a nice quality image and mod_pagespeed will handle compression and serve WebP if the browser can read it). HEVC is encumbered not sure about any restrictions on a spun-out bitmap format but I don't expect it to have legs over WebP.
As far as I can tell Facebook uses very high compression settings for relatively little gain.
They didn't flog ALL their ARM to Marvell either. They have an ARM based comms SoC.
AFAIK They did sell all the ARM to Marvell, the comms SoC was bought from Infineon and is a different beast to the pretty impressive StongARMs they had.
ARM trying to breakl into the server room is much like Intel trying to break into mobile space.
It will depend on the kind of servers being required: for some jobs x86 is just what you need, for others it's just too much silicon. Of course, there will only be any kind of take up if the migration between systems is easy enough and we may need a whole new metrics area which works out which services run best of which architectures. I think AMD's approach may work well here: x86 for grunt stuff, GPU for vectoring, custom (ARM) for encryption and standard ARM for simple stuff like http-serving.
As soon as we've got our pals Microsoft to drop all ARM support
Microsoft has pretty much done this already with the Surface 3 Pro being the only Surface 3 in town. Pretty much everyone else has given up making Windows Phone now that Microsoft makes them itself. But the world hasn't really noticed because, despite what the enthusiasts say, Windows Phone is very much a niche player.
But Intel dominates in PC CPUs, and whatever decline there is in PCs will be made up for by increases in servers.
For how much longer? The current server boom coincides but doesn't correlate with the PC business.
ARM is continuing to expand up the food chain and we'll start seeing serious ARM servers over the next 12 months. If any of them deliver significant reductions in capital or operating expenditure we can expect to see the results in Intel's bottom line as it will be forced to reduce prices to maintain market share.
Hey cowardly AC, Then Windows 7 and Office 2010 is it,
Not being facetious but what bits can't you do with OpenOffice? I find 4.1 pretty damn good. Otherwise Office 2011 on Mac is fine. Or do you need Outlook?
Netbooks were/are amazingly awesome. Until Microsoft got/get their hands on them, that is.
It was only the ones with XP that sold in any volume but the concept was really hampered by the restrictions that Intel placed on them, limiting screen size, etc.
Actually, this looks like the Toshiba: http://www.toshiba.com/us/computers/laptops/satellite/C50/C55-B5299.
Around 2kg, only 2GB RAM and poor resolution for the screen size and not very beefy (not removable) battery.
It is an identity service, just not a named identity service. But it couldn't do that without some kind of formal backup such as id cards.
Google+ is the single-sign-on for the Googly services. Google+ serves some people well as communities and others continue to ignore it.
"Manko" means mistake or drawback in German so you can imagine all the fun they have when discussing the reasons for vehicle recall.
Then there's "mushi, mushi" to say hello on the phone. This is funny in German because "mushi" is "fanny".
Oil will be 10% of Scottish GDP. Salmond is talking of getting loans of 3% GDP to stimulate businesses and create unemployment
What more of it? ;-)
Salmond is a smooth talker and a canny (no irony intended) politician (he's still a shit like the rest of them). However, I do think that much like Arafat he may actually prefer remaining First Minister a Scotland within the UK than of an independent Scotland because it is electorally extremely advantageous to be able to blame England/The Tories/London for things.
I hope the referendum in September goes well and sees a large turnout. I also hope that the "better together" campaign finds better arguments than the financial ones. Devolution has been an undoubted success, more of it please including to the English regions. Tax raising powers (and concomitant responsibility).
I can also recommend the piece in this week's Economist that covers many of the practicalities of dealing with independence. Worth reading whatever side you take on the issue.
I refrained from .sssr (Scottish soviet socialist republic) because that would give the wee man even more delusions of grandeur
I don't know. I can imagine Mr Putin being only too happy to help him out: out go the Tridents in come the Russian subs…
Moot: the vast majority of Scots speak a descendant of Anglo-Saxon and not Gaelic (around 80,000 I believe).
The bigger problem is how all these vanity domains erode the underlying sense of the domain name system.
I agree that El Reg got it wrong but my understanding is that it's currently even stevens re. North Sea oil and money from Whitehall.
London has its own collection of subsidised masses: bankers, TechCity and anyone benefitting from the various subsidised mortgage schemes.
This is another example of why American law is so fucked. Sexual harassment should be a criminal offence: report it to the cops and let the public prosecutor take over and not a feast for civil action lawyers fighting not for right or wrong but for the biggest payout.
I think you're the first Dutch person I've come across who dislikes subtitles. All my friends claim that they don't notice them, at least for English language films. Here in good old Jormany we get horribly dubbed films: Clouseau does not have a silly French accent in German versions of the Pink Panther!
So the implication is that studios should be paying the filesharers for the benefit they confer?
Not necessarily. The research does seem to back up the idea that file sharing can act as publicity: whether it's because people dislike screeners (I can't stand them myself) or subsequently decide to watch a film on the big screen or both.
However, one thing file sharing definitely does is displace activity: if you're watching something you've torrented you're not doing something else (such as watching the same item on DVD or TV or out down the pub with your mates). In fact, in many countries torrents of Hollywood films have displaced local films.
Hollywood has for years been griping about sales lost to piracy, and got some nice laws drafted for its efforts, but it has also been far more positive about digital downloads than the music industry. Both have suffered more from expected incomes from format shifts (remember all the CDs we bought for vinyl or DVDs of VHS we already had?) failing to materialise. In music this was coupled with some stupid contracts and artists rediscovering concerts (previously a means to publicise records, now highly lucrative events not least because the record companies were cut out). Hollywood has profited from the proliferation of TV channels as additional means of distribution in the digital age but failed to see those channels as potential threats: HBO, et al. have for years been producing better quality fare of their own and have become more interesting for artists.
It doesn't matter anyway as although the taps were/are illegal there won't be any court cases as a result, partly because they'll be too much leaning on the relevant companies from other governments keen to join in and partly because the "national security" joker would be played preventing any evidence being admitted.
However, it is foolish in the extreme to change the law before a new EU directive has been crafted.

JDA Software to Acquire Pricer AB's Intactix Subsidiary to Expand Product Suite with Space Planning Solution.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2000
Will Add Over 3,400 Clients & Offer Retail
Supply Chain Business-to-Business Solution
JDA(R) Software Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:JDAS), an international provider of enterprise retail solutions, announced today that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the assets of Intactix, a market leading provider of space management solutions, from Pricer AB, a Swedish provider of electronic shelf labeling systems, for $20.5 million in cash.
The Intactix business unit reported revenues of $24 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, including $8 million in maintenance. JDA expects the acquisition to be modestly accretive in fiscal 2000. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The companies expect the acquisition to close by the end of March 2000. The acquisition is subject to the approval of certain governmental regulatory agencies and other standard conditions.
JDA Expands Product Suite with Market Leading Space Management Solution
The Intactix acquisition supports JDA's strategy for building upon its integrated, enterprise retail solution with complementary products that address the most pressing issues in retail today. In addition, this transaction enables JDA to significantly extend its reach into the consumer product goods (CPG) space. With a referenceable client base of approximately 3,400 companies including Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Coca-Cola Company, Johnson and Johnson, Kmart Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Inc., Safeway UK, Sainsbury's, Sears, Roebuck and Company (US), and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Intactix is widely known for its market-leading space management solution for retailers and prominence in the CPG industry. Combined with JDA's over 740 clients, the acquisition of Intactix would increase JDA's client base to over 4,140, spring boarding JDA into a position to provide software solutions for the entire retail supply chain.
"The functions within the retail supply chain are becoming increasingly blurred as retailers and consumer products goods manufacturers are looking for solutions to minimize costs and maximize customer satisfaction through improved operational efficiencies," stated Jim Armstrong, JDA's CEO. "By expanding our analytical offering with Intactix space management solutions and growing our presence in the CPG market, JDA will be solidly positioned to provide the most comprehensive, integrated merchandise planning and business-to-business solution for retailers and their suppliers."
Acquisition Provides Business-to-Business Solution for the Retail Supply Chain
The Intactix acquisition will enable JDA to introduce several new applications in the Arthur Enterprise Suite of merchandise management applications. Two of these applications will be marketed as: Arthur Pro/Space, a next generation planogramming solution that allows users to build, analyze, and distribute accurate and real-life planograms that are as graphically rich as they are data intensive; and Arthur Pro/Space.net, a business-to-business solution. As delivered, Arthur Pro/Space.net will enable retailers and their suppliers to collaborate over the Internet to build, analyze and distribute accurate and real-life planograms. Following the introduction of the Arthur E-Planning Portal, Arthur Pro/Space.net will become JDA's second business-to-business solution in the Arthur Enterprise Suite. In addition to Arthur Pro/Space and Arthur Pro/Space.net, JDA will continue to market the other Intactix space management solutions to existing JDA clients.
The benefits of integrating the Intactix space management solutions with JDA's products include:
-- Expanded business-to-business solution. By integrating Arthur Pro/Space.net with Arthur E-Planning Portal, JDA delivers the most functionally rich business-to-business collaborative planning solution for retailers and their suppliers to share plans and up-to-the-minute results. -- Best of breed and seamless integration. By integrating store floor and space planning with merchandise financial plans, assortment planning, clustering, category analysis and decision making into one seamless suite of strategic merchandise management applications, JDA provides retailers and CPG manufacturers the capabilities needed to perform top-down and bottom-up merchandise planning. -- Comprehensive category management. By combining the Arthur planning, assortment planning, allocation and performance analysis applications, JDA's core merchandise management capabilities and Intactix's advanced space management, retailers and CPG manufacturers can collaborate to optimize the economic outcome for a given grouping or category of products.
Greg Morrison, JDA's Senior Vice President, Analytic Applications Business Unit and Managing Director, JDA Arthur, will oversee the integration of the Intactix products into JDA's business. Morrison is a seasoned professional with a proven track record of being able to quickly integrate newly acquired companies into JDA's business. Morrison was recently responsible for the successful integration of the Arthur Retail Business Unit acquired in June 1998. Reporting to Morrison will be Kevin Stadler, currently Intactix's CEO and president, who will serve as managing director and vice president of JDA's new Intactix product line.
"The combination of the JDA applications, in particular the Arthur Enterprise Suite, with the Intactix applications provides unique capabilities to the retail and CPG industry. We're particularly excited about the new Internet business-to-business possibilities that will be provided by integrating our product sets," commented Stadler.
JDA Expects Improved Profitability for Intactix Solutions
Intactix reported that it was profitable in fourth quarter 1999 for the first time since 1997. JDA expects to continue to improve profitability of the Intactix product line by combining JDA's financial strength and leveraging synergies across the new organization. As such, JDA will merge the duplicate JDA and Intactix offices in 10 cities. JDA will retain Intactix's Dallas, TX head office and move the JDA Dallas-based associates into the Intactix location and share administrative resources.
"Since Pricer announced that it would sell its space management subsidiary in 1998, Intactix has operated in a challenging mode. We expect that by integrating Intactix into our business, we'll add the needed clarity for the associates, clients and prospects regarding the longevity of Intactix products," stated Armstrong.
The positive results that JDA has realized since its June 1998 acquisition of the Arthur Business Unit from Comshare demonstrate JDA's ability to strategically select acquisition targets and quickly assimilate them to positively impact revenues in a short time frame. The Arthur acquisition was accretive within the first year of JDA operation. Further, the Arthur Business Unit realized record revenues during that time period.
Acquisition to Provide Selling Opportunities Across the Supply Chain
In addition to expanding its product line, JDA's acquisition of Intactix presents a wealth of new selling opportunities. The Company plans to exploit the acquisition to expand its small but established presence in the CPG space with the JDA Boost planning product. Approximately 40 manufacturers, including such blue-chip companies as Levi Strauss Europe, Middle East and Africa, Heineken, Bacardi and SC Johnson Wax, are using Boost. "We will merge Boost with the Intactix applications and market the combined solution in the retail and CPG spaces under the market-leading Arthur brand. Given that only approximately 50 retailers and suppliers worldwide out of our combined client base of over 4,140 use both JDA and Intactix, this acquisition enables us to leverage and merge our respective market expertise to successfully cross-sell in our newly expanded retail and CPG client base," stated Armstrong.

Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the expected timeframe for closing the acquisition, product development, product integration, anticipated financial results and financial strategies, cross-selling opportunities created by the transaction, and further penetration of markets. Future events may involve risks and uncertainties, among which are uncertainties related to the final development and market acceptance of proposed new products, the ability to complete acquired products under development and integrate new products into existing JDA products, the effectiveness of sales and marketing programs to promote and distribute new products into new markets, actions by competitors which could affect sales, pricing and profitability of the Company's products, management of product transition, international sales, the ability of the Company to attract and train the skilled personnel required to implement its products, general market conditions and other risks detailed in the prospectuses relating to the Company's recently completed public offering, and which are and will be detailed from time to time in SEC reports filed by the Company.
Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including the inability to obtain, or meet conditions imposed for, governmental approvals for the acquisition, diversion of management's attention to the assimilation of the operations and personnel of acquired businesses, costs related to the acquisition and the integration of acquired businesses, products, technologies and employees into the Company's business and product offerings. Achieving the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will depend, in part, upon whether the integration of the acquired business, products, technology, or employees is accomplished in an efficient and effective manner, and there can be no assurance that this will occur. The difficulties of such integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically disparate organizations, the complexity of the technologies being integrated, and the necessity of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. The inability of management to successfully integrate any acquisition the Company may pursue, and any related diversion of management's attention, could have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any products acquired will gain acceptance in the Company's markets, that the Company will be able to penetrate new markets successfully or that the Company will obtain the anticipated or desired benefits of such acquisitions. Any acquisition pursued or consummated by the Company could result the Company incurring debt and contingent liabilities, amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, purchased research and development expense, other acquisition-related expenses and the loss of key employees, any of which items could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Work starts on Bonbon's first bridge
By May next year, children from the mountain barangays of Bonbon and Buot-Taup in Cebu City will no longer have to wade through a deep river to go to school.
Work is about to start on a two-lane bridge in sitio Camarin, Bonbon.
Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama yesterday led the groundbreaking ceremony for the P12 million bridge which is expcted to be completed by May.
"Children will no longer make rain a reason not to go to school. It's very dangerous for children to cross the river. Finally our dreams for a bridge will be realized," said Armando Tanghana, a resident of sitio Gila-Gila, Bonbon.
When Cebu Daily News reported the lack of a bridge in its Aug. 16, 2010 issue ("Bonbon bridge still a dream"), the front page photo showed pupils in their uniforms wading in knee-deep water to reach the other side of the river.
Residents said they had struggled with this difficulty for generations.
A P15 million outlay for a bridge would have solved it with a 2008 national budget appropriation sponsored by Cebu City Congressman Antonio Cuenco of the south district but the budget was realigned due to a political conflict.
The city mayor at the time, Tomas Osmeña, who was at odds with Cuenco, had the national project realigned so funds went to build another bridge in barangay Tabunan in the north district. At the time, Osmena said it was not practical to spend millions for a small barangay like buot Taup.
The new bridge being built in Bonbon is funded by the Cebu City government.
During Rama's administration, it was included in the 5th supplemental budget in a 2010 council resolution sponsored by Councilors Jose Daluz III and Margot Osmeña, wife of the former mayor.
"We are very thankful," said barangay worker Presencia Pacana, 55. She said residents no longer have to take a raft and pay P20 to cross the river.
Bonbon's 5,000 residents and 2,000 others in Buot-Taup,who have to cross three rivers, will benefit from the bridge said Bonbon barangay captain Alexander Ibarita Sr.
The Bonbon bridge will be a gateway to other bridges that will connect the mountain barangays.
A P7 million bridge in Buot-Taup is next on the priority list. The project will be bidded out next month.
"That and the third bridge will complete the series. People will no longer have to cross the river. This is very important for the people because this place is getting busier," said Councilor Daluz.
Mayor Rama told CDN: "In implementing projects we should not select beneficiaries based on the number of voters. A small barangay needs to be connected to a bigger barangay."
Rama's allies, Councilors Daluz and Edgar Labella attended yesterday's ceremony with barangay captains of Buot Taup and Bonbon, and congressional candidate Aristotle Batuhan. Cuenco, the original proponent of the project was also invited.

Yes, you can buy just the cases from Caribou (and just the racks from SW-Motech) You want to order the
Cases for SW-Motech Racks
. They come with the locks and lanyards pre-installed, and you have to attach the mounting hardware for the racks. It took me about a half hour to fit the hardware. The racks take a little longer. You have to remove the original grip rail and replace it with the one from SW-Motech.
This picture shows the rack mounted onto the bike using the four quarter-turn fasteners.
And this shows what the bike looks like with the SW-Motech rack removed.
Here's the rack.
This is the hardware you have to attach to the case. The holes are pre-drilled, and there's a triangular, solid aluminum stiffener plate on the inside of the case.
A closeup of the lock. I believe the red part is supposed to break away in case of a crash. But I don't know that the SW-Motech racks won't break away first.
I wanted a smaller top box and rack than Caribou offered, so I bought a Hardigg iM2200, and Roger at Caribou was kind enough to supply me with a matching lock, so one key locks all the cases and attaches the side bags to the racks.
I used some pan-head hex bolts, some fender washers, four rubber washers, and some nylock nuts to bolt it onto the Touratech rack. With a hex key and a 13mm wrench, it pops on and off in less than a minute.
Hope these pix help. I'm sure the Caribou racks are sturdier. But I wanted to be able to remove the racks when not needed. And the smaller top box will keep me from overloading the rear. Roger at Caribou did a great job of helping me get the whole thing sorted out to my liking. I'm very pleased with the results.
I'm tryin' ta think, but nuttin' happens!

Is the new Romulan faction a waste of time for PvP?
Cryptic has already disappointed many of us by going on record as saying that they are more biased towards escorts and they will cater more towards them then any of the other classes.
These new Romulan ships are NOT like escorts as all. Slow turning, lumbering beasts.
In PvP that pretty much means never being anything special. Run of the mill. Ordinary at best.
If this is the case, what's the point?
The D'deridex Class warbird I do expect to be a slow turning lumbering beast but the Mogai won't be. The Mogai is the Romulan ship I look forward to the most.
Seems like a premature concern. We can burn that bridge when we come to it.
"Romulan ships tend to be large and heavy, making them somewhat slower and less maneuverable than comparable Federation and Klingon Defense Force ships. The iconic D?deridex, for example, is larger and more resilient than the Galaxy ? but considerably slower as a result."
This is from Dev Blog 3.
Slow ships with cannons aren't as useful as fast ships with cannons. I don't think many people will argue with this, after all if you can't get the cannons aimed at the enemy they're useless. This is but one of the things that makes the JHAS so deadly.
Logic follows that if your ship can't turn fast enough for cannons you're going to have to fit on beams or torpedoes. (I seriously doubt there will ever be a ship that only packs mines and nothing else.)
I seriously doubt that they will invalidate the Feds and the klinks by making the Romulans noticeably stronger or have wildly stronger powers. If they do that then who will play (and pay for items from) the original two factions? That being said, apart from a few new fancy powers they're just going to be green ships that will blend in to the PvP background. Any serious PvP Romulan will just fly a JHAS.
Cryptics blind lust for the profits generated by escorts will hurt the Romulans.
The new expansion is coming with massive balance passes along with the new content, its very possible beams may became a viable alternative to DHC's.
ITT: OP fails to notice that plenty of people seem to make cruisers and other slow things viable in PvP, and that most serious premades have more sci ships than escorts.
Most sci ships turn relatively fast and deliver their deadly deeds in a burst, SensorScan subnuke ect. 5/7 turnrate is far different from 13
The only way a rom cruiser will be viable is if it has one crazy powerful alpha strike from cloak. Something most cruiser type ships arn't setup for. Anyway I call the "Durpy'Dex" right now as the future naming for it. And will also admit I am going to buy a scimitar no matter how terrible a ship it may be if they give us the option.
What it overlooks is the following:
Retrofit versions of the various ships.
Fleet versions of the various ships.
C-Store versions of other ships.
It's going to be a P2T faction.
Pay-to-Turn. :)

"The Book Case" is a story that features Nelson DeMille's most famous (and successful) character, Detective John Corey, who has appeared in six DeMille novels: Plum Island, The Lion's Game, Night Fall, Wild Fire, and The Lion. In this story, we see John Corey in his early years as an NYPD Detective, before he became involved with the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force.
©2011 Nelson DeMille (P)2011 Hachette Audio
"They never disappoint"
Nelson DeMille, Scott Brick and the character they both bring to life are simply the best! I love the look back AND getting something to tide me over until The Panther is released.
"Great short story"
The only problem I had with this book is that I wish it was longer.
I love the John Corey character and have been waiting (not so patiently) for another one of his books to come out so when I found this one I thought I would give it a go even though it was less than 2 hours long.
It was a fun quick paced story full of the John Corey trade mark smarta#* sarcastic remarks and dry humour.
"DeMille, one of my favorite Authors"
It is rare for me to re-read a book. This book was as good as his others. Only problem for me was I wanted it to last longer. Once I finish one of his books, it's hard to find something that I want to read. His dialog goes from serious situation, to a hilarious remark. I think he is a brilliant writer and and never gets boring.
"Great short story"
Nice story with John Corry as a NYPD detective solving a murder as his morning's work
"Loved the Book.................."
I loved listening to the story as I was driving to/from my husbands home. I love Nelson DeMille and have bought several of his books.
John Corey because he is a wonderful detective and Nelson DeMille make the characters alive.
He put good character into the character if that makes sense but he made John Corey more believeable and with Nelson DeMille books, you have to really believe what is going on and then you really wonder if what happens in the book hasn't actually happened.
I never really laugh or cry however I was wondering if things were real in the book that it was actually happening in our own world.
Love Nelson DeMille and will probably buy the next audible.com book from him.
"Interesting study on the psychology of the mind"
The reading was terrific and DeMille did a fantastic job on depicting the nature of the human mind. While I appreciated the reading and the pschological aspects, the story wasn't gripping. It reminded me a lot of the way Columbo used to think..."Oh...one more thing." I did enjoy the book and recommend it, but it's not one of my all-time favorites.
I picked this one up because I love books, bookstores and anything book related. I'd never read DeMillle before but thoroughly appreciated his delving in of human nature. He did that well...so well that I think I will read other books by him. He really pegged the psychology...I loved that!
I'm not sure if I've ever listened to Scott Brick before, but regardless, he really added to the whole story. His timing was superb...I loved the pauses...very well done.
There was not one moment in particular that moved me, but it was fun to watch as clues were revealed and the thought process that was used to draw conclusions. It's always shocking what the human mind can justify.
Give it a shot...it's a short, but fun, ride!
"fun short story"
great mystery short story. all that you want in a murder mystery with a cocky detective who reads people well.
All mysteries all the time, that's what I read. I joined Audible when I started having a long commute. Now I listen everywhere!
"Boring, predictable, snotty, no value added"
While I understand New Yorkers are supposed to be sarcastic and perhaps snarky, I really hated the snottiness of John Corey in this story.
I don't know if the tone conveyed by the reader is a function of the director on an audiobook, or if it's up to the reader's interpretation. Sorry, Scott Brick, it feels like this has become your go-to attitude in a lot of books lately.
The story was predictable and uninteresting, and I don't feel it added any value to the John Corey character.
"Engaging , thoughtful and very enjoyable!"
What a nice way to solve a murder and do it without it being 15 or 20 hours long! Bring on more of these short stories
Lifelong Learner
"A bonus story!"
I have really enjoyed the John Corey series, especially with Scott Brick as the narrator. His voice just fits the personality of the detective perfectly. This is only a 2 hour story and it is very good. I was hoping a new novel would have come out since the Panther, so I listened to this for a "fix." Even though it is short, it is fun to listen and witness Corey's humor as he solves a crime. It was actually fun listening to a story than I was able to finish quickly instead of listening for 15 hours. If you want a quick treat, it is worth the time.

But Dan already knew that. That's why Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter called his Mom while every other NFL player at Pro Bowl practice was getting swarmed by the media after today's AFC Pro Bowl practice. Actually I have no idea if he was actually talking to his Mom. For all I know he could've been doing a phone interview with a huge media outlet like, um, who am I kidding. Of course he was talking to his Mom.

Jtemple08-13-2005, 10:58The logitech ones work well. The down side is that the memory card slots have to stay wired to your console.

Hall of Fame Attendance Jumps 15%; Curb Partners with Cracker Barrel; New Music Videos
- In the ongoing saga of Curb Records versus Tim McGraw, McGraw won a battle that keeps Big Machine from releasing sensitive negotiation documents with McGraw.
- In an unrelated Curb Records story, they've partnered with Cracker Barrel to release compilation albums from McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, The Bellamy Brothers, Rodney Atkins, The Judds and Wynonna Judd.
- Peter Cooper wrote an outstanding piece on Waylon Jennings' new posthumous album for the Tennessean: "Record producers have plenty of challenges. There's meeting budget, coordinating musicians' schedules, envisioning a final product, balancing invention and commercial familiarity and plenty of other things. But making a legendary and dead curmudgeon smile has to be the tallest producers' challenge anyone has ever ordered up."
- Cooper also profiled one of the last remaining Blue Grass Boys: Mac Wiseman (with video).
- Craig Shelburne interviewed Chris Knight for CMT Edge. An excerpt where Knight talks about songwriting: I can't write little simple songs for the sake of writing a song. I got to write it up from my gut — something that'll give me energy when I'm writing it or singing it, like "In the Mean Time." I feel like I can really deliver that song, so that's how I try to write. I have to really be interested and motivated to write a song. Sometimes it's anger where I come from. Other times, it's telling a story. But it's always coming from the gut. Perseverance — it's having a backbone. We never know what kind of backbone we got until we get challenged.
- Brad Paisley unveiled his next single called "Southern Comfort Zone" that will be officially released to radio on 10/2. You're special, though. You can hear it now here.
- Talented guitarist Dan Crary wrote a guest feature at Bluegrass Today saying goodbye to Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, and Doug Dillard. An excerpt: "So it's shocking to think of our world without them; for me Earl was the blazing banjo sound that hooked me as a little kid in 1951; in my world, Doc was the fifth face on the Mt. Rushmore of music; and Doug was sassy, smart old time music walking unapologetically up and down Santa Monica Blvd. Now, without them, the world feels very strange, and we wonder what more to say about their absence. Books will be written, memorials created, and most of all, we will tell stories of Doc and Earl and Doug for a long time."
- Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer are officially an item.
- In addition to his new American Idol gig, Keith Urban will be the voice of the Grand Ole Opry in their radio marketing campaign this year.
- Carrie Underwood gave an almost-teen his first smooch.
- Johnny Cash's "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" is the soundtrack for a new Volkswagen Jetta commercial.
- Gary Allan threw a party to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his Nashville apparel store, The Label.
- Outdoor Life Magazine interviewed Chuck Wicks.
- Meet new Nashville duo, Striking Matches.
- Producer Scott Hendricks celebrated his 50th #1 hit.
- The Taylor Swift and Patsy Cline exhibits are reasons behind a record 15% increase in attendance at the Country Music Hall of Fame this summer.
- Little Big Town's Tornado was the top-selling country music album this past week.
- From PopMatters' Taylor Coe: "Forgetting the Roots: Does it Matter Who Makes Folk Music?"
- A batch of recently hatched music videos:
Kacey Musgraves – "Merry Go 'Round"
Kevin Fowler – "Here's to Me and You"
Joe Bonamassa – "Dislocated Boy"
Joe Bachman – "Small Town Rock Stars"
Whitney Rose – "Chivalry is Dead"
Dierks Bentley – "Tip It on Back"
Sick String Outlaws – "Johnny Drank Jack"
Kristy Cox – "Miles and Timezones"
Billy Ray Cyrus – "Change My Mind"
Randy Rogers Band – "One More Sad Song"
The Turnpike Troubadours – "Gin, Smoke, Lies"
The Black Lillies – "The Same Mistakes"

Off to see the Patsy exhibit then on to IBMA
Dan's piece on Earl, Doc & Doug is well worth reading
Really enjoyed the music video from Canadian cutie Whitney Rose. I think Toronto can now officially call itself the "Nashville of the Great White North".
What I'd really like to read about is Cracker Barrel releasing a compilation album of the songs Amy Dalley recorded for the Curb label. Oh well…
First a VW commercial featured the Wynn Stewart song "Another day, Another Dollar" and now that Johnny Cash song in a VW commercial about a dog that swallowed a key fob. I must commend the music taste of their ad agency folks! Its a lot better than most of the programmers at Top 40 AirHead Country radio stations these days.
I bet that Taylor Swift exhibit at the CMHOF really skewed their visitor profile average age demographics downward! It likely dropped from age 55 down to around 11. Sheesh.
I think I've divined Curb Records' strategy in their epic battle with Tim McGraw:
Curb figures that if they just keep being a royal pain in McGraw's butt, at some point McGraw will decide that life's too short to spend it being dogged by Curb and he'll agree to pay Curb a big chunk of change to just leave him alone.
