Tom Wheeler Confirmed As FCC Chairman By Senate
FCC Approves Net Neutrality Proposal Saying It Just Starts Rule Making Process
Just hours after Sen. Ted Cruz pulled his hold on the nomination today, the Senate unanimously confirmed Tom Wheeler as the next chair of the FCC. The GOP senator from Texas had put a hold on the nomination under the premise he objected to Democrat Wheeler's vague response to questions about whether the FCC should require TV stations and cable operators to disclose the identities of political advertisers. On Tuesday, Cruz said he's met with Wheeler and discussed the issue to his satisfaction. Nonetheless, it was a confirmation a long time coming. President Obama picked the former cable and mobile phone industry lobbyist in May to replace Julius Genachowski as chairman. At the time Obama said he hoped for "a speedy confirmation process." He didn't get that wish but he did eventually get his guy.
"Tom brings a tremendous depth of experience, talent, and knowledge that will serve him well as the leader of this critically important agency," Acting FCC Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn said. "I have no doubt that he will be an outstanding FCC Chairman. With his extensive public policy expertise and understanding of the communications landscape, Michael will certainly be an invaluable asset to the Commission."

CELEBRITY STYLE FASHION — 06 March 2013
Reality star turned designer turned blogger, Lauren Conrad, joined Camilla Belle, Louise Roe and Giuliana Rancic last weekend in Miami for the 24 Hour Runway Show hosted by Cotton. Conrad wore a black jumpsuit by Camilla and Marc for the event. The wide leg pant on the jumpsuit and the gold buttons at the waist made the look very retro. She finished off her look with gorgeous waves in her hair and a pink lip.

Re: [SherlineCNC] small taps and dies
Expand Messages
- There are a lot of micro drills that come with 1/8, 1/16, or 1mm shanks.
Most of the industreal tool supply companies carry them.
On a manual machine I like to use the wrench / chuck key (the handle of most
chuck keys will fit the hole in the chuck) on the chuck and put a light
downward force using the quil handle. On machines like the Sherline, I've
also taken the belt off and used the pully as a tap handle. Thread milling
might be an option, but I've never tried it on a hole that size and don't
know if they make them that small. Mostly on cnc holes that small I just
drill the hole then use a tapping block (block with a hole the size of the
tap od, to hold it straight) to tap it later.

Bore out the aluminum plug and add a set screw, or mill a pocket to
pick up the screw you put in the side of the lathe shaft for the
threading attachment. I did both. At 3" diameter this clears the motor
on either lathe or mill. You could also use this if you made a tapping
Pretty good stretch for less than 10 bucks.
- You are on the right track to look for ways to hold the tap in the
machine- I have never broken one held by a spindle, I have broken my
share hand-held.
Make a crank handle to attach to your motor pulley. If you have the
threading attachment its handle might work. Otherwise a simple handle
with a tapered plug on its end, to fit inside the spindle bore and
tighten with a nut. I made such a crank for my 11x48 lathe and use it
often for things like big taps and spring winding. Anytime you want slow
and controlled spindle rotation.

The physical appearance of cockroaches varies depending on what stage of life the insects are in as well as their specific breed. Male and female cockroaches also vary in appearance: males are generally much larger than females and have different colors and body shapes.Know More
Adult cockroaches differ widely in size, ranging in length from just under 1 inch to over 3 inches, which is measured from the rear end to the tip of the antenna. Cockroaches are found in different colors: some are amber, copper and golden in color, while others come in darker shades, such as black and even dark blue.
Adult cockroaches have a distinct look that is more or less prehistoric in character. These insects have long, flat, oval body shapes complete with two long antennae for feeling and identifying scents and smells. These antennae are perhaps the most distinguishing of all cockroach features: they are long, feathery and wire thin and are often longer in length than the cockroaches' bodies. The torsos of cockroaches are made up of tiny segments covered with a thin, protective layer that in the aggregate forms the cockroaches' hardy outer shells.
Cockroaches, like many other insects and arthropods, have compound eyes that contain many tiny retinas. Their eyes have many lenses, giving the insects the ability to simultaneously see objects to the front and off to both sides. The thoraxes, or torsos, of cockroaches are shield-like in appearance, fortified underneath with a thick layer of cartilage and covered with a thick outer shell. The edge of the first part of the thorax generally covers most of the cockroaches' heads, acting as a combination of helmet and hood.
Cockroaches have many tiny long and spindly legs, which give them the ability to run, dig and even swim. Most cockroaches have four wings: two large wings, much like those on birds, which facilitate takeoff and landing, and a set of two smaller wings underneath that aid with balance and keeping cockroaches upright in the air. They also have strong, downward-facing mouthparts that look like small claws and help the roaches grasp and consume their food.
According to JRank, some species of cockroaches have brilliant bright markings that give them a magnificent and easily identifiable look but, most importantly, protect them from potential predators. These bright colors act as warning signals to predators that the cockroaches contain potent and powerful poisons that will leave predators sick, paralyzed or dead if they are consumed. A phenomenal characteristic of some cockroach species is their ability to assume the look and even shape of similar insects. Cockroaches that live in tropical regions are known to adopt the shape and physical resemblance of fireflies, ladybird beetles and wasps.Learn more about Bugs
Cockroaches do bite, and documentation indicates that they eat dead and live human flesh. When large populations are unable to find food in garbage cans or from available food around the house, the insects may bite exposed areas such as fingernails, feet and hands.Full Answer >
Cockroaches can carry a wide range of diseases, as a wide reservoir of bacteria, like salmonella and staphylococcus, and virus, like polio virus, can survive in their digestive system for months to years after being ingested into their body. Cockroaches are known to consume just about anything, from food droppings on the floor to feces. The reservoir of bacteria can even be passed through the cockroaches in their droppings.Full Answer >
While cockroaches and their bites are not poisonous, allergens in their feces, saliva and body parts can trigger allergic reactions and asthma, especially in children. Statistics from the National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study estimate that 23 to 60 percent of urban populations are sensitive to cockroach allergens, as of 2014.Full Answer >
When no other food sources are available, due to shortages or sudden growth in a cockroach population, cockroaches may turn to attempting to feed on living human beings, according to Orkin. Cockroaches will readily consume dead humans and all other forms of carrion, but they will not try to feed on live prey unless an infestation becomes truly massive and is left totally unchecked, at which point it will be forced to seek out new sources of food.Full Answer >

Minutes, 7:05 pm The Selectboard reviewed/revised draft meeting minutes for the November 27rd meeting. Cathee Clement made a motion to accept the November 23rd meeting minutes as revised. John Bacon seconded the motion. All members approved. Andrew Toler informed Selectboard members that the recent re-appointment of Health Officer, Al Stone in the November 30, Final Draft meeting minutes did not reflect the term of the appointment. It is noted that Al Stone was re-elected by Selectboard members on November 30, 2009 as Health Officer for another 2 year term. Consideration of Selectboard Appointee Nominations, 7:18 pm At 7:18 pm, Donn Downey came before the Selectboard to discuss the current Selectboard member opening. Tig Tillinghast stated that the nominations are being considered through December 21, 2009. At which time, the Selectboard will interview candidates for the position. Mr. Downey stated his interest in the position and asked for more information regarding duties and the time involved in being a Selectboard member. Tig Tillinghast and Selectboard members provided Mr. Downey with an overview of the Selectboard member's roles and responsibilities. 1 Freeman Residence Fence Proposal, 7:37 pm Janet Cavanagh, Landscape Architect for John and Jeanette Freeman stopped by to meet with the Selectboard to seek approval to place 6 ft board fence on the property line, out of the right of way from the lake to the end of the garage, along Rte 244. The total length of fence will be 120 ft +/-, not counting the turn-in runs, along the drive. The existing 3 ft split rail fence will remain as outlined on the Tax Lot proposal distributed to Selectboard members. Ms. Cavanagh spoke with Doug Stone, Road Foreman, regarding this issue and Mr. Stone gave his approval of the 6ft fence, along with replacement and repair of the existing split rail fence stating that there was no visibility issue on the corner with the split rail fence.

Energy Committee Update, 7:49 pm Bob Walker, Energy Committee, stopped in to deliver a request for a Single Year Appropriation from the Sustainable Energy Resource Group (SERG) for 2010. Mr. Walker mentioned recently submitting two Energy grants and stated that he would like to discuss how to effectively sit as the Energy Committee Chair as well as represent SERG. Cathee Clement stated that having Mr. Walker represent both the Energy Committee Chair and SERG, could present a conflict of interest. Tig Tillinghast stated that anytime SERG submits a proposal, Mr. Walker needs to recuse himself from the selection process. Mr. Walker also asked if there was a decision on moving the $578 from within the Energy Committees budget to another line item. Tig Tillinghast stated that moving money which was appropriated for a specific project, cannot be moved to another line item and the rest of the board agreed. Jim Masland and Margaret Cheney Visit, 8:00 pm Jim Masland and Margaret Cheney stopped by with their annual visit to update the Selectboard with a Legislative update. The following was discussed: - Jim Masland stated that there will budget and funding issues again this year as the budget shortfall is worse than last year. There were lots of cuts last year and not much left to cut this year. - Andrew Toler asked about Road cuts. Jim Masland stated that the House and Senate have differences of opinion and discussed possible issues with the Transportation bill as well as the new Chair in the House of Transportation. - Margaret Cheney discussed possible issues with the Teachers Retirement fund and Unemployment funds as there is an increased demand, decreased revenue. - Jim Masland discussed the Vermont League of City & Towns (VLCT) Newsletter stating that it is a great way to find out about current issues, but to filter those issues as reporting is at times inaccurate. Jim Masland and Margaret Cheney stated they are happy to come in to visit with the Selectboard at any time to discuss the town's concerns. Margaret Cheney stated that she will contact Pete Webster, Norwich, and suggests getting together with surrounding towns regarding Route 132, equipment, bridges and road issues. - Jim Masland stated that having the surrounding four towns come together and represent a common voice is a great alternative to VLCT alone. Margaret Cheney agreed to help facilitate those meetings. - John Bacon asked about School Tax funding this year. Margaret Cheney stated that she would like it to be based on income revenue and not property tax. Unfortunately, there is no political will or energy to bring up at the caucus level. 2 Tig Tillinghast asked that Jim Masland and Margaret Cheney keep the Selectboard informed as issues arise and will be happy to make time for them on the agenda. Road Foreman Update & Grader Discussion, 8:34 pm Doug Stone, Road Foreman stopped by with a Roads update for the Selectboard: - The amount of sand and salt used to date is less than the amount used in the last 5 years. - Equipment breakdowns are minor: mirrors, chains, etc. - More grading done this year, due to warm weather. - CVPS tree contractor contacted him today to take down trees.

Need to hear back from Jim Lanctot, Police Chief regarding resolution. Doug Stone asked if the Selectboard approved increasing the Training line item in the road budget to include Grader training in 2010.

All-Budget Change Review, 9:06 Mike Pomeroy, Terry Longo and Penny Sirjane joined Selectboard members to review the All-Budget change review. Tig Tillinghast suggested that instead of talking about individual line items policy, they confirm/discuss line item increases/decreases as reflected in past budget review meetings. At 9:40 pm, Walter Malmquist stopped by to update the Selectboard with progress on demolition of the Malmquist buildings on the Post Mills property. Mr. Malmquist thanked Cathee Clement for her follow- up phone call and stated that Mark McMahon, Senior and Affordable Housing Committee, was very helpful in providing him with demolition vendor information. Mr. Malmquist is expecting six bids to come in on demolition and waste removal by next Wednesday, at which time he will award the bid. Mr. Malmquist stated that he intends to have the buildings down by the end of January. Mr. Malmquist stated that he received the okay from Two Rivers to go ahead with demolition of the building and move forward with phase two of the process. All hazards are reasonable and can be dealt with prior to the demolition. At 9:45 pm, Andrew Toler stated that a decision on health benefits for 2010 need to be made. Tig Tillinghast will add to next weeks agenda at which time there will be a vote to switch providers. 3 Old Business, 10:40 pm Possible Signing of New Financial Policies: Tig Tillinghast made a motion to accept the following financial policies: - Auditing and Financial Reporting Policy - Purchasing Policy - Cash Receipts, Petty Cash and Returned Check Policy - Debt Management Policy - Investment Policy - Fraud Prevention Policy Cathee Clement seconded.

All members approved. #44.2 $4,310.53 #35.3 $45.93 #43.1 $10,535.43 Other Business, 10:44 Minutes: Andrew Toler requested that the full names of Selectboard members be used in the Selectboard Meeting minutes instead of just last names. All members agreed. Town Clerk Job Description: Cathee Clement asked that the Town Clerk and Selectboard Job Description split be added to next weeks agenda for further discussion, Fava Letter: Cathee Clement asked that the Selectboard take time to follow-up with the Favas regarding the recent letter from their legal counsel. Tig Tillinghast agreed that a Selectboard member should sit down and discuss their concerns with them and follow up with a written reply. Tig Tillinghast agreed to meet with the Fava's. At 10:58 pm, Andrew Toler asked that the Selectboard convene an executive session to discuss a possible real estate transaction. All members agreed. Members came out of executive session at 11:05 pm. No decisions were made. Selectboard members then discussed the Senator Leahy earmark project that may allow the town to build a sidewalk on Thetford Hill. It appears that VTrans may have issues with the plans that might be hard to square with the desires of the village residents. The Selectboard will be talking to federal highway people about working through those issues. Selectboard members talked about the Town Report and a process whereby the town could, on an ad hoc basis, allow some committees a little extra space in that document over our new space restrictions. At 11:20 pm, John Bacon made a motion to adjourn. The vote passed unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Cheryl Ulz, Recording Clerk, Thetford Selectboard 4

PARIS — Maria Sharapova booked her place in the French Open final for the third year in a row when she beat up-and-coming Canadian Eugenie Bouchard 4-6 7-5 6-2 on Thursday.
The Russian seventh seed, who lifted the Suzanne Lenglen Cup in 2012 and lost in last year's final, will take on either Romanian fourth seed Simona Halep or German Andrea Petkovic, the 28th seed.
Struggling with her serve, Sharapova, who is 18-1 on the red dirt this season, dropped the first set before playing deeper to level the contest, outrunning the 18th-seeded Bouchard in the third.
Sharapova has now won the last 19 three-set matches she has played on clay since losing to Justine Henin in the third round at Roland Garros in 2010.
"She played an unbelievable match, her level was extremely high … I'm just very lucky to be the winner," Sharapova told reporters.
Bouchard, who was inspired to play after watching Sharapova at an early age, took first blood, breaking serve and playing her opponent at her own game by pushing her into the corners before the Russian broke back for 4-4.
The Canadian, in her second major semi-final this year, immediately broke back and took the set when Sharapova sent a backhand wide. Despite Sharapova's service games being peppered with double faults, last year's runner-up turned up the heat and squeezed out the second set on her fifth set point to send her third straight match in Paris into a decider.
In the third, she upped the aggression another notch, leaving Bouchard at times staring after the ball with a slight shrug despite the grit she showed to go toe-to-toe with the woman she had once put on a pedestal.

I understand that it repeats cmpsb cx times but how does this compare the two strings? Say for example was comparing "Hey\0" and "hey\0" and this loop was comparing 4 character strings. The first characters are different and the EFlags register would be set accordingly. However, the cmpsb instruction is repeated and the next characters would be the same. I may be misunderstanding how cmpsb works but it looks like this loop does not correctly compare two strings. Does this loop in fact work?

Gay Panic as a Legal Defence
Mitigating circumstances are often used to argue for a more lenient criminal sentence. But what about when the so-called circumstance is a man allegedly making advances at another man, and that then provokes him to violence. It's an argument that's been effectively used in an Australian case. What's more, Canada has a similar legal defence that some people want scrapped.

HP LoadRunner is an automated performance and test automation product for application load testing: examining system behaviour and performance, while generating actual load. A software testing tool, HP LoadRunner works by creating virtual users who take the place of real users' operating client software, such as Internet Explorer, sending requests using the HTTP protocol to IIS or Apache web servers. HP LoadRunner can simulate thousands of concurrent users to put the application through the rigors of real-life user loads, while collecting information from key infrastructure components (Web servers, database servers etc.) The results can then be analyzed in detail to explore the reasons for particular behavior.

Test Automation, is am automatic ability to activate, track and trace issues in our product development process or on the acceptable phase or deployment phase.It is not a cheap effort, it needs special applications or platforms, knowledge base, good personal/developers, in many companies it is very much like any development process: it needs strategy, planning, management and good implementation.If it's that expansive, then what are the advantages of using this kind of a system?
Read on how to setup Selenium with SoapUI installation in a way that it will empower SoapUI, to be operation even for testing flows that need interaction with the UI.
You can use Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate or Visual Studio 2010 Premium to create automated tests of the user interface (UI) known as coded UI tests. These tests provide functional testing of the UI and validation of UI controls. Automated UI tests enable you to test that the UI is functioning correctly after code changes. Coded UI tests are quicker to run than manual tests, meaning that you can run them more frequently.
This article provides test automation guidance that helps you leverage the coded UI features of Visual Studio 2010 to foster a continuous, consistent and standard automation approach. Such an approach allows you to build, deploy and test, taking advantage of Visual Studio Lab Management features, which let automation testers reap the benefits of integrating with the build process for automatic build deployment, executing on VMs and reporting test automation results as part of Microsoft Test Manager (MTM).
Neither one of these options is great for use with JBehave. Instance scope is a problem because JBehave then creates a new Step class for every step in a scenario, making it impossible to share state between steps without using static (global) state. Singleton scope is a different side of the same problem: state ends up shared among all scenarios. In either case, to make things work you must remember to clean up the global state after each scenario.

Coen Brothers to Rewrite Angelina Jolie's 'Unbroken' (Exclusive)
Jolie is directing the project centering on World War II survivor Lou Zamperini.
Ethan and Joel Coen are teaming up with Angelina Jolie to tell the story of World War II hero Lou Zamperini.
The Coen brothers have been tapped to rewrite Unbroken, the adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 book, for Universal -- which has been trying to mount a Zamperini story in some form or fashion for decades.
PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie's Top 10 Red Carpet Looks
Universal picked up the rights to the book in January 2011, initially for Francis Lawrence to direct. Jolie boarded as director in December. She has spent weeks searching for top-flight writers to tackle the project, with sources saying the director was extremely choosy.
William Nicholson and Richard LaGravenese worked on previous drafts pre-Jolie.
STORY: Angelina Jolie's 'Maleficent' Casts Pax and Zahara Jolie-Pitt
Zamperini was a Los Angeles high school track star who raced in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In 1943, his Air Force plane crashed in the Pacific. He survived without food and water for 47 days, enduring shark attacks, aerial attacks and hunger before washing ashore on a Japanese island behind enemy lines, where he was held as a prisoner of war for two years and tortured by his captors.
Jolie is producing with Matthew Baer and Erwin Stoff. Walden Media will co-finance.
Among the top screenwriters in town, the Coens have been nominated five times for Academy Awards in the writing category, winning for No Country for Old Men and Fargo. The brothers usually direct and produce what they write, but they take on assignments in rare cases.
They are repped by UTA.

'Dark Knight' Shooting Victims Get Help From Moviegoers
ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres have placed donation boxes outside of 11 L.A. theaters.
The aftermath of a deadly shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises has seen emotions run raw, as moviegers express sympathy for the 12 dead and 58 wounded. Now those wondering how to help the victims in Colorado have an answer: leave a donation at the movie theater.
Pacific Theatres and ArcLight Cinemas have placed donation boxes in front of 11 of their L.A. theaters, with proceeds going to the massacre's victims and their families.
STORY: Colorado 'Dark Knight Rises' Shooting: The Latest Developments on the Aurora Tragedy
"We've seen patrons consistently coming up, making donations," said an ArcLight Cinemas spokesperson. "The lobbies are quiet, but it's nice to see the community rally around and support this during these difficult times."
The donations are one among many changes theater chains around the country have made in the wake of the shootings. Pacific and ArcLight have said they would refund tickets for patrons who felt uncomfortable heading to the movies this weekend.
Other chains have amended or reemphasized policies after the shootings, in which 24-year-old suspect James Holmes allegedly wore a gas mask and referred to himself as the Joker. AMC theaters has banned face-concealing masks and fake weapons, and Regal reportedly planned to check purses and small bags brought by moviegoers.
STORY: Christian Bale on Shooting Victims: 'My Heart Goes Out to Them'
Even as more details emerge about accused shooter, so too do stories about his victims. On Saturday, police revealed the names of the 12 victims, who ranged in age from 6 to 51.
Jessica Ghawi, a 24-year-old aspiring sports journalist who was killed has become a popular figure for those coming to grips with the killings.
Ghawi narrowly avoided a mass shooting in Toronto last month, and tweeted from the movie theater late Thursday night before the carnage began. Ghawi's brother has asked the world to focus on the massacre's victims rather than its shooter.
STORY: 'Dark Knight Rises' Director Christopher Nolan: Colorado Shooting 'Devastating'
"The outpouring of support for my family is overwhelming," Jordan Ghawi wrote in a blog post. "Hearing from people from all of the world. My family thanks you. Let us continue to focus on the victims."
Although Warner Bros. and other studios announced Friday they would not be reporting box office totals this weekend out of respect for the victims, projections see Dark Knight Rises opening at between $165 million-$170 million. That would make it either the second or third best opening weekend of all time, behind Avengers ($207.4 million) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169.2 million).

It's like two weeks ago that I've been posting anything but I made another one, there are still problems open, because I do want an analyses/game. Here's my new one:
Black's last move seems to be Kg3-h2, and white's last move seems to be Bxf2+.
Black's b pawn promoted on a1 by capturing the only white piece available for capture - a rook, and h pawn promoted on h1.
In order for white to have two dark-square bishop promotions, his e pawn must have promoted on d8/f8, and h pawn on h8 (more efficient than d8/f8) for a total of 3 captures. Black's e pawn in this scenario seems to be useless to me. That leaves black with 1 extra piece (dark-square bishop, rook or queen) to be captured later on f2.
Other than that I cannot see any difficulties at the moment - alas I do not have time to make a proof game. Perhaps someone else can, or find a flaw in my analysis.
You're right Shoopi! maybe someone else can post a proof game on this position (or my other positions).
Here's one I made today, I kind of like the answer, but I don't think it's hard, after you've thought a little...
Good Job Mashanator! You've found the right answer!
Why this is "the right answer"?
Black might as well have gobbled a white piece at e2 with his last move.
Yes, you're also right
Here is mine: can this pawn formation occur when castling queenside. And have it ever happened in one serious game before?
No, how would you get the bishop out?
enemy knight of course.
knights on either e2, b3, e7, b6 for black. But seriously i highly doubt such position have arived during tournament playing. Online blitz and bullet it's a complete different story...
Still while i think about it, it can't have been many cases of enemy knights been allowed to infiltrate the camp and just take the bishop and retreat the same way out. Also the King can not have been touched earlier.
isn't it possible to setup that pawn formation in chessbase's "find similar positions", with the king and rook at its original squares with queenside castling enabled. Owlmoon i can't remove the black king so i mirrored the formation for black as well - to be honest one side is satisfying enough.

Nashorn: JavaScript made great in Java 8
JavaScript on the JVM is better and faster but not always friendlier with Nashorn, the rebuilt JavaScript interpreter
Nashorn, pronounced "nass-horn," is German for "rhinoceros," and it's one of the animal names for a German tank destroyer used in World War II. It's also the name of the replacement -- introduced with Java 8 -- for the old, slow Rhino JavaScript engine. Both Rhino and Nashorn are implementations of the JavaScript language written to run on the Java Virtual Machine.
Obligatory rant: JavaScript may have Java as part of its name, but the two languages are very different in spirit and design, as well as in their implementations. Nevertheless, one way of implementing a JavaScript interpreter is to compile JavaScript into Java byte codes, which is what Rhino and Nashorn were designed to do.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 15 things we hate about Java | Show off your coder cunning in InfoWorld's JavaScript IQ test. | Keep up with the latest developer news with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
Problems with Rhino
Rhino development started at Netscape in 1997 for an ill-fated "Javagator" project and was released to Mozilla.org in 1998. It was then licensed to Sun and others. Honestly, 1998 might as well be the Jurassic Period, as Internet development goes -- 16 years later, Rhino has clearly shown its age. According to Jim Laskey of Oracle, the principal developer of Nashorn:
The performance of Rhino has fallen far behind that of other JavaScript engines. In order to improve performance, at this point Rhino would have to be rewritten to replace its interpreter with a code generator designed to fully utilize the JVM. Rather than undertake a major rewrite of the very old Rhino code, we have chosen instead to start from scratch.
I'm sure this is all true, but as a jaded developer and development manager I find the last sentence highly amusing. After all, major rewrites are never fun. Starting from scratch is always fun.
Supreme Court's decision is bad news for developers targeting the U.S. market, who will now have to...
