WP Bench is performance benchmark for Windows Phone 7 devices. It tests your CPU, GPU, memory, storage, display and battery and allows you to publish your score to the online charts or compare with the others. - Online charts! devices, users etc. - CPU singlethreaded performance - CPU multithreaded performance - Memory read/write speed - Storage read/write speed - GPU performance - Display color reproduction (32-bit) - Battery life tester Engadget.com wrote that first WP Bench was "one of the most comprehensive benchmarking app [they've] seen so far." WP Bench was first benchmark for WP7 and it's made by creator of well known (and first too) DirectX 11 Compute Shader 5 benchmark for PC called ComputeMark. Version 2.6 - 32-bit per pixel colors, great for display colors test - screen lock prevention during tests Version 2.5 - user can take a screenshot of speed/battery tests results and save it to Pictures Hub Version 2.4 - frontend->backend path completely secured (all the data are encrypted: user info, OS info, device info, speed/battery tests score) - 3 bugs solved (CPU seq/par scores finally differ in charts; attery test "Windows key->Back key" hack eliminated; data block size slider now can't be opened during speed test) - db secured, hacks data removal, optimization
4/18/2015With this version it allows screen shots of the previous test, which is OK, but not how it should be done. Run the test, record that, but it doesn't have a cumulative score for the runs on a graph. My phone speed sucks lol, it's half of the other scores, so isn't Great as you say, and memory handling is a major problem in this phone. Your app needs a rewrite. Battery life test was just the thing that I needed for killing the battery, then after completing the test, and keeping the phone cool with the AC unit, several power on bumps into a total, ~2% level of drain got the phone reset in order to make a few app deletions in a environment which had no signal from the cellular network. I'll give you an upgrade to 5*, in spite of microdimwits trying not to get published..... 😎
4/11/2015Needs an update.
10/31/2014Too klutzy, tied up the phone with a hardware mand firmware test which didn't complete. I've an android phone app that works better than this. Uninstall! With 8.1 update, developers version, it was a little interesting to see if it would make a difference. WRONG.... The network complaint is a common issue we have been seeing in the store. Microsoft needs to be a little more test conscious of the apps they are presenting because they are looking like a bunch of fools. Besides that, microbraintrust really doesn't want our feedback. Just get the money. Running the battery life test, the phone was in Airplane mode, therefore totally off line, and the phone and battery became so hot that you had a hard time holding it. I placed it on the A/C housing rim, yet the battery lasted less than 2 hours. Hopefully the battery life is not depleted by this test. Class action lawsuit pending.
9/17/2013Constantly nagging me to buy full version
3/24/2013Bought, like it.
3/13/2013More than 235 on HTC 8x
1/9/2013The only benchmarking app I have found that works consistently, has relevant benches for more powerful devices, and has actual leader board comparisons. Recommend!
12/30/201297.07 on HTC Titan. 231.69 on Nokia Lumia 920. Only non-UI oriented suggestion is to run multiple trials after freeing resources to improve accuracy. My HTC Titan managed everything from 80 to 97.07.

Valencia County May Get New Town
Voters in a small community in Valencia County will find out if they are one step closer to creating a new town.
KRQE-TV reports that the votes will be canvassed Friday to determine if Rio Communities can incorporate.
In a special election Tuesday, residents in Rio Communities, just east of Belen, voted to incorporate into a new municipality with its own mayor and town council.
Residents in this 4600 square acre area say they want a new town so they could have their own police department.
About 5,200 people live in Rio Communities.

There are several entry and exit points in the bay. The southern shore and eastern end of the bay is roped off during the summer as a swimmer protection zone, but with a short break 100 meters along the south shore to allow boats to unload and offload passengers (just at the end of the Churchill Restaurant).
The most common entry point are the steps on the southern eastern shore beside the Zafiro Restaurant.
Or with a bit of a walk (~ 400 meters) along the southern side of Xlendi Bay, you can cut down on the swim and air use and enter at fourth set of ladders. This is also used by dive centers from outside Xlendi who park up the hill on the south side. The Xlendi Tunnel is directly opposite the fourth ladder entry point on the northern shore, and the Xlendi Reef is about 300 meters west along the northern shore.
Both of these entries are contained within the swimmer protection zone during the busy summer months.
Some of the dive centers also use the large slipway on the north eastern side, but this is in the open part of Xlendi Bay and subject to boat traffic from fishing boats and the small boat hire fleet.
Xlendi Bay itself starts very shallow in knee deep water, and slowly progresses to about 9 meters by the time you reach the 4th ladder entry point. Up to this 9 metre mark, the bottom is coarse sand overlain with a fine silt that is easily stirred up. Not great for underwater photography, but there is some nice macro muck diving bits on the rocky shores on either side. Keep an eye open for octopus under the rocks, and fish feeding on small crustacea and molluscs in the sand.
After the 9 meter mark, the bay starts to drop off and Posidonia eel grass beds become the dominant substrate. This makes an idea habitat for juvenile fish fry, and is also a favourite hunting ground for octopus and cuttlefish in the evenings.
However the bay only reaches 23 – 25 meters by the time you swim all the way out to the end of the reef on the northern shore, but it then slopes steeply to 100 meter plus.
Location of Xlendi Bay, Gozo, Malta:

Statement of Significance (as of designation - November 28, 1972):
The limestone main house and two contributing outbuildings of this farmstead derive their primary significance from their association with General Horatio Gates, a major Revolutionary War figure who made his home here from 1773 to 1790. In October 1777 Gates led patriot troops that forced General Burgoyne's army to surrender at Saratoga.
The current owner of the property, who is conscientious about the care of the farmstead, recently restored the main house, but needs technical and financial assistance to stabilize and restore the badly-deteriorating stone spring house and two-story stone tenant's house.
In the summer of 1999 about 50% of the exterior stone walls of the tenant's house collapsed, although the roof miraculously remained intact. In September, 1999, two National Park Service architects from Harper's Ferry, examined the structure and prepared a stabilization/restoration report to begin the planning process.
Recommendation/Change since last report:
Emergency funds from the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office helped to cover and stabilize the tenant house in the spring of 2000. However, additional funds are needed to restore this structure, and to stabilize and restore the stone spring house.

The alternator needs to be ground down a little so coolant mod fits as shown in pics. It in good shape except for one of the spots that the small bolt to one of the coil packs screws into. I tried to jb weld it, but kept coming off. Ended up loosing that little piece, but car ran without any problems (Fuel rail keeps coil pack from going anywhere).

It's time for another year in review as we begin our top ten stories of 2011.
A plane crash at the the Z Islander Apartments in Bryan is the number ten story of the year.
A North Texas couple was killed Memorial Day weekend.
911 Operator: "911 what's the address of your emergency?"
Z Islander Resident Eriwaldo Teixeira: "A plane has crashed."
911 Operator: "Where?"
Eriwaldo Teixeira: "Z Islander."
It's a freak accident that rocked the Brazos Valley.
A Cedar Hill couple was flying a single engine plane from Fort Worth's Spinks Airport to Galveston, when something went terribly wrong.
"They went down trying to make Easterwood," said Matt Pucket of the Texas A&M Flying Club during a May 28 interview at the scene.
57-year-old John Holmstrom and his wife, 48-year-old Katherine were killed in the impact after their plane crashed in the parking lot of the Z Islander Apartments in Bryan. Amazingly no one on the ground was hurt.
Matt Pucket was also flying that night and heard the distress call.
"We were coming into the tower and the tower asked us to hold off 'cause we heard the radio call some people had ran out of gas and the next thing we know there wasn't anymore radio call and they just gave us a bearing and so we went over there and looked for them and we didn't see anything go down," Pucket said.
"If he'd made it here in this grassy knoll he might have been ok, but he actually hit a parked car here you can kind of see it there a silver car, the front's all destroyed and the engine of the plane is pushed up in the passenger compartment," said Will McCauley, during a May 28 interview. McCauley was a resident at Village On The Creek Apartments across the street.
Scott Stallings is a private pilot and was at Easterwood Airport when the call for help came out.
"He was basically losing fuel. So it wasn't that it was his fault for not having enough fuel when he took off or anything, it sounded like he was actually having an issue with losing fuel," said Stallings on May 29.
"It's definitely a humbling experience if you think about it we were the last people who heard those guys talking," said Matt Puckett.
While it's not required, the National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary investigation reveals John Holmstrom did not file a flight plan and spotted Easterwood Airport, but the engine failed before he could make a refueling stop.
The National Transportation Safety Board's investigation is expected to be completed by May 2012.

The SDF-4 Liberator was a Human Battlefortress commissioned by the Robotech Expeditionary Force and was the Flagship of the Earth Reclamation Force.
The ship was used during the first battle fought alongside The Sentinels, along with the Farrago and an Ark Angel-class ship. (Robotech II: The Sentinels: Farewell)
This vessel was part of the fleet that was dispatched to liberate the Earth during the Third Robotech War after the planet fell under Invid control. It became the command ship that was part of the final offensive on the planet in order to free the Human homeworld from the alien domination with command being under Gunther Reinhardt. Following heavy casualties, General Reinhardt ordered the deployment of the Neutron-S missiles from the SDF-4. The warheads were, however, destroyed by the Regess who departed known space with the entire Invid race along with all stores of Protoculture on Earth. As such, the SDF-4 along with the surviving fleet docked at Moon Base ALUCE in order to determine their next course of action. (New Generation: Symphony of Light, Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles)
Known crew
Behind the scenes
In the novels' continuity, the ship isn't called an "SDF" but is instead the flagship of the Third Reclamation Force. In The End of the Circle, a battlefortress dubbed the SDF-4 was being built. But due to Harmony Gold's 2005 retcon, the book series are no longer canon.

Equipment failure causes Indiana wastewater plant discharge
Officials at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management believe that a discharge of partially treated wastewater into Indian Creek was due to a equipment failure at Carriage Estates treatment plant in West Lafayette.
Investigation of the incident revealed that the discharge was caused by a malfunctioning oxygen blower and a faulty alarm system. The wastewater that escaped the treatment plant contained high levels of ammonia and low levels of dissolved oxygen. As a result of the discharge, fish along a Tippecanoe County stream was killed, the Lafayette Journal and Courier Online reported.
Earlier this week, the state's Department of Environmental Management warned residents to avoid getting in contact with water downstream of the wastewater treatment facility and to prevent pets from getting access to the water.
RELATED: Environmental group takes Pennsylvania wastewater plant to court over discharge into river
The plant operator, American Suburban Utilities, announced that it was reviewing the situation that resulted in the spill. Scott Lods, owner of the company, explained that an oxygen blower had gone out on Sunday afternoon after the routine check done twice per day on Sundays. In addition, the alarm system failed and both failures in combination led to the discharge.
The blower was fixed immediately after the leak was discovered but it is still not clear why the alarm system failed, Lods added. The blower supplies oxygen to the microbes that digest sewage and if oxygen is not provided, microbes die and cannot treat the water, he explained.

Noob with oil question
I just bought a 1993 DR350S.
Got it home and oil leaking from around plug at botom of motor. Not much but enough to leave small oil area.
After about 3 days I finally get around to taking it for a ride. Check oil before the ride with bike in upright position. No oil. I have an oil quart bottle with about 26 oz of oil in it. Put in about 6 oz. Nothing on stick. Put in about 6 more oz. nothing on stick. Pour remainder of oil in. Now oil is completely up the dip stick way above correct limits. Take drain plug out of bottom of engine and let a little drain out. This plug has a washer on it and a bunch of blue engine gasket type sealant around it. Not going down of stick. Do this three times and nothing going down on stick. Drain a little out of frame bolt and it does down about half way on stick but still way above full mark. Start engine and let run for about 30 seconds. It is now showing about the high mark in the correct limits on the stick. Let it run another minute and wait about a minute and check again. Still within correct range. Go for a couple mile ride and still within correct limits.
I have read on line about how to do an oil change removing the frame plug and the engine plug. Also states to remove filter. Then is says something about removing a tube and checking a strainer. Not sure what this tube or strainer is or where it is located?
I am 50 miles from a dealer. Does anybody know of a non Suzuki Oil Filter that can be bought at an auto store? I called a couple of my local stores and they say they can get a filter for a DR250 but their charts or parts do not even list the DR350.
What kind of drain plug gasket/seal is used on this? Does anybody know of diameter or thickness of this washer/seal? And its material it is made out of.
Alos, does the engine always need to be ran a little for the engine on the dipstick to go down to correct level?
Sorry for the long post an so many questions but want to do this right and not mess anything up here.
I will probably end up buying a Clymer Repair manual with pictures and explanations but want to get this thing correct in the meantime.

Folk music legend Pete Seeger says he regrets taking part in a peace rally for Israel's Arava Institute for Environmental Studies.
Last November, the 92-year-old musician appeared on "With Earth and Each Other," billed as on online peace rally in support of the Israeli institute, which brings together an international student body to explore solutions to cross-border ecological problems, particularly those affecting Israel and her Arab neighbors.
A month before the event, Seeger told JTA that he was resisting calls from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement to call off his participation. He cited the need for dialogue to bring an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"I understand why someone would want to boycott a place financially, but I don't understand why you would boycott dialogue," Seeger told JTA. "The world will not be here in 50 years unless we learn how to communicate with each other nonviolently."
According to Adalah, an organization that supports BDS, Seeger met recently with representatives from the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, which he supports financially with proceeds from his music. He told them, the report claims, that he "misunderstood" the Arava Institute's ties to the Jewish National Fund, which he criticizes for taking Palestinian lands for Jewish settlement.
"I appeared on that virtual rally because for many years I've felt that people should talk with people they disagree with. But it ended up looking like I supported the Jewish National Fund," Seeger told the representatives from the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, they report.
"Now that I know more, I support the BDS movement as much as I can," Seeger reportedly said.
JNF provides scholarships for Arab and Jewish students, and funding for the institute's infrastructure, according to Friends of the Arava's new chair, Seth Morrison.
On Jan. 14, Morrison published an Op-Ed in the Jerusalem Post noting the JNF's efforts to help the Bedouin and asking the organization not to take Bedouin lands in the South in order to plant trees.

Seventeen Candles
After surviving the on-again/off-again nature of their new relationship, Serena and Dan finally acknowledge they are crazy about each other, despite their polar opposite worlds that constantly threaten to pull them apart.Chuck contemplates investing in a burlesque club in the hopes of making his hard-to-please father, Bart , proud of him. Nate confronts his father, Captain, about the drugs he found in the house, but his father denies having a problem.Jenny discovers a secret her father, Rufus, and mother, Alison, have been keeping from her. Finally, Blair is once again devastated by Nate's actions after Jenny reveals that Nate kissed her by accident thinking she was Serena.
Speaking of Bart Bass. He tells Lily that he wants to go public about their relationship, but Lily wants to tell her kids first. Chuck walks on them. Bart tells him to keep the secret from Serena and everyone else. Chuck changes the subject by bringing up his investment idea, and Bart is immediately pleased that Chuck is showing interest in something other than partying. Chuck is like a little boy, basking in the glow of his unaccustomed paternal approval.
Serena and Dan try to make out by the stairs at school, out in the open. Kati and Isabel, Blair's multicultural posse, take cell phone videos of them. Serena wants to talk about them eventually having sex.
Blair asks Serena if she's done the nasty with Dan yet. Serena is worried that Dan might be the one guy in the world who wants to slow things down, but it's only because he's a virgin. We learn this because Dan has a nightmare in which his first time fails to satisfy Serena and is judged by Kati and Isabel. Kati gives him an upside four and Isabel gives him a -3. He wakes up from his nightmare and overhears Rufus on the phone, arguing with his mother Allison. Something about Allison having an affair with her neighbor. Jenny walks in and gets upset when she hears her brother and father discussing her mother's infidelity.
Chuck makes out with a burlesque performer. Bart sees this and immediately goes back to being disappointed. Chuck runs after him and sees that old Bass is pulling the wool over Lily's eyes with a hot young Asian chick.
Dartmouth dad bails on his after school drink date with Nate because he has to work. Nate spies on his dad and sees him in the act of buying drugs. Nate goes home to tell his mother that the drugs belonged to Dartmouth dad. He begs for her help, but she is firmly in denial. She turns the drug problem around and places the blame on Nate for being such a difficult child and being the one to drive Dartmouth dad to drugs in the first place.
The camera pans across the Brooklyn Bridge, and then we see Dan and Serena home alone in Dan's bed. Dan accidentally tosses Serena on the floor when Vanessa climbs in unannounced through the window. He escorts Vanessa to the door, but she sneaks back in. Serena wants to talk about Dan about doing it, but they just try again. Then they are interrupted by Rufus. Later on, Dan watches porn alone in his room and is interrupted by Vanessa. He denies that it's porn, and that it's actually art cinema. Vanessa gives him good advice about how to cash in his. Dan takes this into consideration and daydreams that he is observing Nate and Serena in the throes of lovemaking atop a bar. He takes notes and interrupts them to ask their opinion of the efficacy of the leg wrap and the hair grab, for example. Rufus walks in and asks if he needs a refresher on "the talk." Rufus is so Sandy Cohen in this scene!
The next morning, Chuck is drunk off his ass in front of the Palace. Lily sympathizes with him gives him some advice. He spills that Bart had some Asian chick in his limo yesterday, which makes Lily sad.
Blair confides in Jenny that Nate is planning to her an engagement ring with his family diamond. Jenny isn't overly effusive about it, and Blair sniffs out that there is something she's hiding. Jenny confesses that Nate said he wasn't over Serena at the ball, and Blair, devastated, dismisses Little J for good.
At the Waldorf-Archibald dinner, poor Blair, dressed in pearls and lace, asks Nate if there's anything he wants to say. He says no. Dartmouth dad is really, really over-enthusiastic and bullies Anne to let Blair try on the ginormous engagement ring. Everyone is uncomfortable. Outside, Nate scolds Dartmouth dad for being so embarrassing and nearly ruining his business deal. Dartmouth dad wants to go back inside, but Nate tries to prevent him. They end up having a small scuffle which ends with Dartmouth dad punching Nate and knocking him to the ground. Unfortunately for Dartmouth dad, there is a police cruiser right down the street. Nate tells the cops to check his father's pockets, and pays the doorman to keep his mouth shut about this. From an upstairs window, Blair has witnessed the entire event. Nate is about to get into a cab, when Blair runs after him. She says that she saw his father being arrested and is disappointed that Nate didn't come find her to talk about it. Nate begs off that he promised to meet Chuck at Victrola, and says that it's difficult to talk to her even if he tried. She rips into him that she knows what she said to Jenny at the masked ball. She asks him if he loves her, and when he doesn't answer, she says that she doesn't need him anymore, and jumps into his cab.
Chuck is sulking at the Victrola when he is joined by Bart and the Asian chick, who is a reporter for The Observer who is writing a profile on him. Bart finally comes on board with the idea of burlesque and is really proud of his son. Chuck confesses to Bart that he told Lily about the Asian chick. Bart tries to call Lily. He tells Asian chick to set up a meeting with Chuck, and leaves to go fix things with Lily. But Lily goes to find Rufus at the gallery. But Rufus has a short-fuse because he thinks she's just there because she broke up with Bart again. Which is kind of true. The grown-ups on Gossip Girl are just like teenagers!
Blair goes to Victrola and wants to escape. She doesn't want to talk about her break-up, but says that she feels relief. Chuck challenges her to go up and dance on the stage, and she does. She starts by taking off her headband, then unzipping her dress. She's only in a slip now, and shaking her booty. She is good enough to even impress Victrola's resident drag queen, who is awesome, by the way. Chuck stands at attention during her entire performance. She doesn't actually take off her slip, though.
Dan brings Serena to his room, where he has lit a whole bunch of candles and his bed no longer has football sheets. She says it's perfect. They make out on his bed when Serena pauses to say that she's scared. She says that nobody has ever looked at her the way he just did, and in fact, she thinks that nobody ever looked at her before.
Nate goes home where his mother tells him that Dartmouth dad's bail is set at a million dollars and he has more than a drug problem. The D.A.'s office has been trying to build a case against him for embezzlement and fraud, and now they've got him.
Jenny goes up to her mother's house in Hudson and asks her to come home. Lily and Rufus create enormous sexual tension while lying on their backs looking up at the ceiling art installation. Dan and Serena snuggle in bed.
Blair and Chuck go home in Chuck's limo. She thanks him for a wonderful night and leans over to start making out with him. Blair loses her virginity to Chuck that night.

Deutsche Telekom Promotes Dannenfeldt to CFO to Replace Hoettges
May 15 (Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Telekom AG promoted Thomas Dannenfeldt to finance chief, replacing Timotheus Hoettges, who is preparing to take over as chief executive officer at Germany's largest phone company next year.
Dannenfeldt, 46, has been with the company for two decades and has overseen finances at the German division the past three years, Bonn-based Deutsche Telekom said in a statement today. CEO Rene Obermann, who announced his decision to step down last December, is set to join Dutch cable operator Ziggo NV.
Dannenfeldt will be responsible for finances at a company with $75 billion in annual sales and that has just completed a merger of its U.S. wireless business with MetroPCS Communications Inc., gaining a U.S. listing for T-Mobile US.
Germany's former phone monopoly is also preparing to speed up its fixed-line Internet to fend off cable providers in its home market while trying to limit the damage from the economic crisis on its European operations.
Dannenfeldt, who joined T-Mobile Germany in 1992, studied business mathematics at the University of Trier. He was in charge of finance at T-Mobile Germany from 2009, and was previously responsible for managing the company's European sales and supply chain and worked on cost-cut programs.
Deutsche Telekom also extended German chief Niek Jan van Damme's contract ahead of time, it said today.

Happy 1 Month Abroad!Barcelona, Spring 2012
By the time this is up I will have been in Barcelona for more than a month and I still cannot be shocked by this. I have gotten so used to living here, but sometimes I think "Woah! I'm in Barcelona right now." It is still so unreal. So in my month here I've done a lot of fun and interesting stuff. It is a totally different world here compared to Chicago and to my small college town, but it is so great! Here are some pictures of some other things I've been up to during my first month here.

It's time again for the annual Scottish Games and Highland Gathering, which will be celebrating its 42nd year at Boone Hall Plantation on Saturday.
For those of Scottish descent, it's a family reunion of sorts as various clans are represented, each differentiated by the clan's individual tartan. There's also competitions, dancing, bagpipes and even haggis.
Our current Head2Head champion, Bruce Dodds, who works as a sales rep, is being challenged by Melinda Yoder, who is visiting Charleston from South Bend, Ind.
1. What was captured by Edward I in 1296 as "spoils of war" and only returned back to Scotland in 1996?
2. This Scottish folk hero and outlaw was immortalized in an 1817 novel as well as a 1995 movie starring Liam Neeson.
3. What year was the Battle of Culloden?
4. What is the name of the long, tapered pole that contestants toss during the Scottish Games?
5. What Scottish poet wrote "Auld Lang Syne"?
6. The inspiration for Shakespeare's "Macbeth," who murdered King Duncan I in the 11th century, had a castle in this Highland city.
7. What is the name of the purple flowering plant found throughout the Highlands that has been used as fabric dye and a major ingredient for a type of honey and beer?
8. One of the largest Scottish games and gatherings, drawing about 30,000 people, occurs at what North Carolina mountain?
9. Historically, when members of a clan went "reiving," what was their goal?
10. What is the ancient Celtic language that is still spoken in parts of Scotland?
1. A crown.
2. William Wallace?
3. I believe it was in 1764.
4. A log.
5. Robert Burns
6. I'm afraid I'm not good at geography. Is Glasgow in the highlands?
7. I think it might be heather.
8. Grandfather
9. Stealing livestock.
10. Gaelic
1. Bones of a Scottish saint.
2. Rob Roy
3. Eighteenth century.
4. No idea.
5. Robert Burns, only because he's the only one I know.
6. Aberdeen
7. Heather
8. Mount Mitchell
9. Taking another clan's cattle.
10. Gaelic
Neither of our contestants could be considered an expert on Scottish history, but they each knew enough to result in a tie. Both Dodds and Yoder will return in next week's tie-breaker to determine who will be the Head2Head champion.
1. The Stone of Scone
2. Rob Roy
3. 1746
4. Caber
5. Robert Burns

Patches out for IE holes, Sony-related issueDecember 13, 2005
Details of the security weakness in the Web browser were published on a popular security mailing list last week by researcher Michal Zalewski. "This might not come as a surprise, but there appears to be a very interesting and apparently very much exploitable overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer," he wrote.
The flaw can be exploited by an attacker to crash IE, Secunia said in an advisory published Monday. The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched PC running IE 6 and Windows XP with Service Pack 2, the security monitoring company said. Secunia deems the issue "not critical."
Microsoft is investigating the issue, a company representative said in an e-mailed statement. "At this time, we are not aware of any attacks attempting to use the reported vulnerability," the representative wrote.
Once it completes its inquiry, Microsoft said, it may issue a security advisory or provide a patch through its monthly release process.

- what can you expect from a company that thought it was A-OK to publish MS Office 6.0 when it couldn't even read files created by it's own 4.0? (remember - there was no 5.anything). Hmm, oh yeah - in spite of costing hundreds of thousands of hours of lost productivity - they never did rebate anyone for their woes and often corrupted data. Kinda like when it was A-OK to ship a crosslinking DOS 6.0 - which while they were fixing it from version to version - forgot to make sure their data compressions were also backwards compatible (OOOPS - sorry about that boys) - in a time when many small companies thought floppies were reliable back-ups. OUCH - that had to have hurt (you know when they said oh well, I'll just restore...and couldn't). Yeah - Bill broke out the wallet and re-imbursed who? Absolutley NO ONE!!!!

- When will people wake up and smell the coffee, and stop being such easy dupes? The purpose of this so-called "security advisory" doesn't either enlighten or help a single, solitary soul--except maybe hackers who find their "jobs" (heh...;)) made easier by the process of self-styled "security firms" publishing details surrounding the holes they find.
The obvious answer to why a "security firm" would publish such information, information it deems "non-critical" and information surrounding a hole that has never been exploited by any entity except the "security firm" itself, is that the publication of such information is positive PR for the security firm itself. Outside of self-promotion for the "security firm," this information has no *positive* value whatsoever.
This is akin to Symantec publishing details of a virus that no one has ever contracted, and that no one has ever written before, in the hopes that someone will take this information and write a virus with it so that Symantec could then provide a "cure."
This "security firm" nonsense is a racket, pure and simple. A pity that so few people can see past the length of their own shallow prejudices to see it.

- I appreciate Microsoft's consideration.....

my appreciation, I have removed all copies of IE from my PC's too,
as much as IE can be removed from Windows. MS really welded IE
into Windows to beat out Netscape.

- MS should stick to games only before they kill someone as a direct result of poor quality products. Wait a minute, they did already. If you take the one death directly attributed to the blackout of '03, which I believe was caused by major power lines failing. The people tasked to monitoring those failing lines did not know there were issues developing, because the systems used were down due to a Microsoft virus. If it wasn't for the Blaster worm the blackout that cost millions of dollars ...maybe a billion? ...probably never would have happened.

- Check your facts
- The XA/21 system that controls the Electric grid runs on UNIX.
The blackout was a combination of events. Overgrown trees, inadequate staff to detect and correct the software bug in a UNIX system, and FirstEnergy not taking remedial action or warning other control centers

- Stick to facts
- And one fact is that the blackout had nothing to do with a failure of Windows. There was some people who theorized that maybe a worm that was spreading at that time had something to do with the blackout but that was disproved when the true source of the blackout was found and it also had no effect on the spread of the blackout from that original source.

- Facts? Here are some facts...
- The *nix systems are being phased out for SCATA based systems, which all too often are being controlled by Windows virus based systems.
There were key PCs tasked to monitoring only, that were infected with viruses while the "host of other issues" were playing out. Trees take down power lines all the time, are you telling me the blackout of '03 was the only instance where trees took down lines? It was because of Microsoft infected devices tasked to monitoring this event failing, that action was not taken in a timely matter that may have prevented the blackout. That's where those of us not being paid off point fingers, with untainted common sense.

- Even the way you state what OS was running on some machines shows your bias. Your total failure to actually understand the cause of the blackout from it's original source to the people and system failures that allowed it to become a major problem is even more evidence that you don't have a clue and you have no desire to get one either.

- Just DO IT and stop griping about it
- If you don't like it, then wipe all microsoft software from your computer and install something else. There are alternatives avaialable and you do have a choice. If you are using somethine else, then you have no reason to vent your stupid complaining because you are not affected.
So why is it that almost all the complaining is from people who don't even use microsoft software? Oh, come on... you're so easy to spot... "M$, Micro$oft, Windoze, Just another example, etc, etc, etc." You have no right to complain; YOU DON'T EVEN USE IT.
I've had about enough from you MAC boys and Linux groupies. I'm not talking about everyone who uses Linux or MAC. Nope, just those of you who have nothing better to do with your pathetic, useless life than constantly complain about an OS you don't even use. Don't like my post? Byte me!

- Exactly which part

I kinda thought I made it pretty clear that I was nearly exhausted and got ahead of myself - forgetting to go back and re-read before posting. Had I, I would have corrected that first part to read so that it was clear that the Tabbrowsing did exist on IE (NOW, like after it had long been a feature in Mozilla projects - same as RSS feeds and anti-pop-up and phishing features) Features that mysteriously didn't appear in IE until they began to see some market erosion.
So - can you write a add-on to IE that enables even more flexibility to the Tabs? Probably not.
Can you write a feature to add enormous functionality in other parts of IE - no - you probably cannot.
By the way - can you remember the original instruction set for the 4086 processor - you know - the one that preceded the 8086 that was originally used in the first IBM PC's?
Yeah, I probably have forgotten more advanced programming techniques from the previous generations than you have mastered in the current.
Do you also have any in depth analog computing experience behind you? How about computers that don't even use electricity (like the pnuematic/hydraulic forced balance analogs I was responsible for on the USS Ranger)?
30 years and then some - but ONLY 30 as a recognized professional. The earlier work only got me statewide recognition in Ohio - and numerous scholarship offers while I was still in high school. Doing stuff like operational amplifier research and early gated logic circuits.

Most people here are Internet regulars. We already know that IE
has a large installed base because of Microsoft market
dominance, not quality. We are the people most likely to know
about alternative browsers. So, you are preaching, rather
endlessly, to the choir. And, yes, that choir includes advocates

Know where I'm coming from? OK. I'm telling you that this is not

comments should have made it here.
The rest of the 63 comments where self serving bablings that did not inform or assist in solving IE browers shortcomings.
I don't have MAC because my tech skills are not savy enough.
Sooooo I put up w/IE because its the smart thing to do when your OS is MS (W-XP Sp 2). MS has made sure that some applications will not function properly, soooooo I also use FF when IE
(which is tight as a drum on my computer) becomes annoying at times.
I have 3 people on my machine and still in dial up mode. Norton virus software is only loyal to one account, therefore I use McAfee.
Yes my IE becomes unresponsive at times (crashes I guess) but I'm glad, then I know I put my nose somehwere it did not belong.
I do have life beyond IE and MS.
Now, my biggest beef is Windows Messenger.
How can I get rid of it, if at all.
Any and all feedback would be appreciated.

Professor Rebecca White Shares Entrepreneurship Secrets
Published: Aug 29, 2011
Professor Rebecca White, right, will share tips on being a successful entrepreneur on WTSP-Channel 10's "Studio 10" on Aug. 31 at 10 a.m.
Passionate, innovative and opportunity are three words that come to mind when Professor Rebecca White thinks of entrepreneurs.
As the James W. Walter Distinguished Chair of Entrepreneurship and director of UT's Entrepreneurship Center, White recognizes an increase in those wanting to start their own businesses, not just from mid-career professionals, but from UT students.
On Wednesday, Aug. 31, she'll share some tips on being a successful entrepreneur on WTSP-Channel 10's "Studio 10" at 10 a.m.
"I think most of our students are not expecting to work for one employer all of their life and a major in entrepreneurship prepares them to approach their career and life with an entrepreneurial mindset," White said. "This can probably be attributed to the changing perspectives of the creative class who is redefining how we work, where we work, when we work, etc....and to the economic recession of the past several years."
White said there are pros and cons to being an entrepreneur.
"You are your own boss so your future is in your own hands – not an employer who can terminate or change your position," she said. "This is why many of our students want to be entrepreneurs – they have seen their parents lose jobs late in careers, and it has been painful."
She notes risk as a con to entrepreneurship.
"Some folks love the challenge, but others are very uncomfortable with the notion of ambiguity and risk," she said.
On "Studio 10" White will share five tips for navigating as an entrepreneur in the current market. One such tip is to assemble a team of people who can support and grow your business.
"You will need good financial, legal and marketing assistance," White said. "A team that has a good diverse skill set is critical to success."

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), one of the largest caucuses in the U.S. Congress, issued a bold federal budget plan that would tax big financial institutions, enact a healthcare public option, and raise much-needed revenue through ending unwarranted corporate tax giveaways. The Progressive Caucus budget would put millions of Americans to work on critical infrastructure projects, replenish recession-battered state budgets to rehire millions of laid-off teachers and public safety officers, and restore full employment to an American economy that has still not recovered from the Great Recession.
Haven't heard of this plan? That's because the corporate media has done an across-the-board blackout on this significant political story. It does not fit the pre-determined pro-corporate agenda, so down it goes into the political black hole.
The fact that the politically infeasible Ryan budget plan received an extensive and respectful hearing, while the well-researched policy recommendations of the Progressive Caucus budget were barely mentioned in the mainstream media, is a clear demonstration of a journalistic double standard. This double standard reflects the economic policy preferences of the media ownership class and has the deleterious effect of precluding from the public debate good ideas like a financial speculation tax, which has broad support from both economists and the general public. This is journalistic malfeasance.
Contrast the media blackout on the CPC plan to the wall-to-wall coverage of the Ryan budget plan in all the major media outlets, making Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis) a fixture on the Beltway talk show circuit. When pressed to explain the virtual cone of silence over the Progressive Caucus budget rollout, mainstream media mouthpieces defend their news judgment by asserting that the CPC budget plan has no real chance of passing. By that same standard, the Ryan budget plan, a social Darwinist document guided by the amoral principles represented by his ideological mentor Ayn Rand, should not even rate a mention in the national press.
This astonishingly perverse budget plan, which includes overwhelmingly unpopular proposals like turning Medicare into a voucher program, does not stand a snowball's chance in hell of ever passing in Congress. So why does it get so much airtime?
As a public service, I will outline the key features of the 2015 Progressive Caucus budget, since you probably did not hear about it unless you read the same niche progressive magazines that I subscribe to. Their budget proposal, called the "Better Off Budget" would, if enacted:
Increase employment by 4.6 million jobs
Boost gross domestic product (GDP) by 3.8 percent
Repeal the ruinous and dumb sequester
Restore unemployment insurance
End the federal worker pay freeze.
Aid the long-term unemployed by providing access to immediate employment through one of seven jobs corps
Repeal Food Stamp cuts
Return to Clinton-era tax rates for households making over $250,000, establish higher rates for incomes over $1 million
Tax investment income (down to 15% under the Bush Administration) at the same rate as wage income (25-35%)
Enact a Financial Transaction tax that could fund a national pre-school childcare system, creating up to a million new jobs
Close the numerous corporate tax loopholes and end subsidies provided to oil, gas and coal companies
Eliminate the ability of U.S. corporations to defer taxes on offshore profits, thereby raising billions to restore state budgets through revenue sharing to rehire millions of teachers and cops
Expand Social Security benefits by ending the $110K+ cap on high net worth individual's contributions to the fund
Create over a million jobs in building and construction industries to repair and modernize our ailing roads, bridges and water infrastructure
The Ryan plan would essentially dismantle Medicare, roll back the social safety net to 19th century standards, privatize Social Security, gut environmental regulations and worker's rights legislation that took decades to become the law of the land. These essential social safety net programs have long represented settled public policy for the 80% of the public who do not live in the Fox News/right-wing talk radio/alternative reality/ imaginary America that Ryan and his supporters inhabit. So why does this misanthropic budget plan get fawning coverage by the Very Serious People in the Beltway media, while the Progressive Caucus budget does not even rate a mention?
The answer to this question goes to the heart of the deep political dysfunction in America. The media institutions that purport to educate the public about the political debates that shape policy are themselves unreliable sources that present a narrowly circumscribed band of policy options that their corporate owners deem as within the bounds of acceptable discourse. The unwritten rule guiding this constriction of the public debate to a center/right intra-mural squabble is: "Thou Shalt Not Question the Hegemony of Corporate Capitalism."
Fall outside this ideological consensus, and you fall off the edge of the known world, never to be heard again on a national platform. Of course, we have the illusion of freedom of speech, in that you are free to spout off to a statistically insignificant audience of fellow ideologues on some obscure internet platform, but you are just practicing a form of self-therapy to make your own actual powerlessness seem less painfully obvious. The political positions that have real influence over how we live at the state and national level are purchased by those who have the money to make big political ad buys on mass electronic media. Only a massive increase in our collective intelligence as citizens can counteract this dismal fact of life in America.
Many of my progressive allies function under the charming illusion that somehow the revolution will ignite via an internet viral campaign or some kind of mystical harmonic convergence that will awaken the American people to their righteous cause. The cold hard truth is that mass electoral behavior is still manufactured by who controls TV. The antidote to the plutocratic grip on our political process will be won through sustained grass-roots community organizing in every city, county and state in this country. This citizen-generated campaign (this modest column being one local example) educates poor, working-class, and middle-class citizens about the reality of power and money in America, and why they have so little of it, by design.
Make no mistake: the revolution will not be televised…or tweeted. We have to make it happen where we live.
