What I Learned as a Woman at a Men's Rights Conference
I went to the conference in suburban Detroit expecting a group of feminist-hating Internet trolls; I found much more
Jessica Roy
Still, being surrounded by men who belly-laughed at rape jokes and pinned evil elements of human nature wholesale on women was emotionally taxing at best and self-destructive at worst. Once, during a particularly upsetting segment of the program, I had to excuse myself from the auditorium to seek refuge on the bug-filled bank of Lake St. Clair. I kept wondering why I had volunteered to fly 600 miles to attend the conference alone, to surround myself not just with crass ideological opponents, but with people with violent Internet histories who believed my very existence oppressed them.

The Bright Side of Facebook's Social Experiments on Users
Farhad Manjoo
After the outcry against the Facebook research, we may see fewer of these studies from the company and the rest of the tech industry. That would be a shame.
But if every study showing Facebook's power is greeted with an outcry over its power, Facebook and other sites won't disclose any research into how they work. And isn't it better to know their strength, and try to defend against it, than to never find out at all?
Victimhood and Title IX, Race and Executions, Net Neutrality
Note: I'm going to start doing round-ups of exceptionally good and exceptionally bad stuff I read from day to day, with short excerpts. Heds/subheds will be taken from the piece itself. These posts will appear under this category.

Even The Most Progressive University In North America Doesn't Know How To Handle Sexual Consent
When a tiny university in Canada was rocked by sexual assault allegations, frustrated students fought back by spreading rumors. This is the story of how everyone lost.
by Katie J.M. Baker
…Since the women's complaints were officially deemed false, they weren't grounds for discussion — not even by the complainants themselves.
Quest first tried to control the rising issue by holding community meetings and responding to concerned parents. But as rumors spread, the school cracked down on accusers. Koenderman sent emails to the complainants reminding them that, under the Human Rights Policy's confidentiality code, they were not allowed to "divulge any details of the complaint including the identity of the other parties." President Helfand warned a school newspaper reporter who was investigating the issue to be wary of publishing libel, and called an outspoken student named Brendan into his office for posting incendiary comments on a private Facebook page for Quest students under a discussion about a Feministing blog post called "Don't Be Friends With Rapists."
"I'm tired of seeing Quest act as a safe space for serial rapists," Brendan wrote. "We need to get these rapists out of our community ourselves or they are going to keep raping our friends."
Brendan said he thought Helfand wanted to meet with him to discuss ways to more effectively address sexual assault on campus. Instead, Brendan said, Helfand angrily told him the school interpreted his comment as a threat against the alleged perpetrators, and said Quest could report him to the police for "inciting violence" unless he removed the post.
Race and the Execution Chamber
The national death-row population is roughly 42 percent black—nearly three times the proportion in the general population.
by Matt Ford
Unchecked by the judiciary, the death penalty's racial discrepancy survived and thrived. Eleven years after McCleskey, Baldus studied 667 homicides in Philadelphia between 1983 and 1993 and found that black defendants there were nearly four times likelier than white defendants to receive a death sentence for the same crimes. Racial disparities in crime rates aren't a factor in this because homicide, the predominant capital offense, is an overwhelmingly intra-racial crime. Federal statistics show that 84 percent of white victims and 93 percent of black victims between 1980 and 2008 were murdered by someone of the same race. But death-row statistics don't reflect those rates: Although roughly half of all U.S. homicide victims are black, more than three-quarters of victims of death-row defendants executed since 1976 were white.
What Everyone Gets Wrong in the Debate over Net Neutrality
by Robert McMillan
The net neutrality debate is based on a mental model of the internet that hasn't been accurate for more than a decade. We tend to think of the internet as a massive public network that everyone connects to in exactly the same way. We envision data traveling from Google and Yahoo and Uber and every other online company into a massive internet backbone, before moving to a vast array of ISPs that then shuttle it into our homes. That could be a neutral network, but it's not today's internet. It couldn't be. Too much of the traffic is now coming from just a handful of companies.
The Bad
Rage Against the Outrage Machine
The most searing critiques of George Will's much-maligned column on rape misrepresent his arguments, illustrating a common flaw in American public discourse.
by Conor Friedersdorf
Of course, Will was talking about "victim status," not victim status. But the point still holds.
Who cares if the Supreme Court is bad at computers?
I wasn't expecting my last post to pick up so much traffic. I had no idea that SCOTUS tech ignorance was news to other people, and although I do love making fun of judges at any appellate level, my write-up was more geared towards punching down that awful Mashable article. But the takeaway for most people was the ignorance of the justices — which, to be fair, is pretty astounding.
Both Brian Fung over at the Washington Post and Tim Lee at Vox have already made this point, which was perhaps buried in my original post: tech savviness is a secondary consideration when deciding cases like these. This is the Supreme Court, not the Apple Genius Bar. The important thing about Aereo is how it fits into the pre-existing universe of copyright case law, and how Supreme Court precedent will affect existing and future technologies, not how Aereo in particular actually works.
Of course, it could be pretty bad if the justices literally did not understand how Aereo works. I don't think this is the case. After all, the briefs made it as clear as possible, and Clement and Frederick both spent time talking about Aereo's technology during oral argument.
In fact, Clement (counsel for the broadcasters) went through this drawn out analogy about valet parking that kind of went nowhere and landed very poorly — but part of why it landed poorly was that the analogy didn't say anything about whether Aereo should or shouldn't be legal. All it did was elaborate how Aereo is different from other kinds of services. I think Clement might have been braced for endless and painful explanations of technology, and thought this was what oral arguments would focus on. I'd bet that Clement himself had a rough time understanding Aereo's technology, and this very analogy might have been the one that made it clear to him. But the justices didn't really care — they had read the briefs and they understood the tech well enough to move onto the actual legal issues that matter.
And that's all that's needed. A justice doesn't need to know how to code, or the names of every cloud service in existence in April 2014, or whether or not HBO is a distant signal. There are certain technical details that can make or break a correct legal understanding, but as long as the judge and the attorneys are careful, no one is going to make a stupid mistake.
That is, of course, a HUGE caveat. If it were better known in the federal judiciary that "incrementing a URL" is incredibly common and simple to do, Weev would not have spent time in prison.
In the copyright context, one might worry about details like the role and frequency of temporary copies in streaming. If you don't know jack shit about how streaming works, you might make the terrible error of penalizing a service for hosting temporary copies. (Fortunately, provisions giving temporary copies slack are codified in several relevant portions of the law, but this issue pops up way too often for my personal comfort).
Another thing I often think about is how § 1201 isn't meant to cover technological protection measures (aka DRM) that are not "effective." So what do we say about 7 lines of code that can circumvent DRM? Is that DRM still "effective" under the statute? And how is a tech-ignorant layperson supposed to judge whether a mechanism that can be broken with 7 lines of code is ineffective or not? When each side trots out its experts — one side saying that 7 lines is nothing and the DRM is clearly ineffective; the other side saying that the number of lines is no indication of how easy the solution is — what frame of reference are you supposed to lean on to figure out who to believe?
I disagree with Tim when he says that cluelessness is good. I do get his broader point: the Supreme Court is a court of generalists, and we don't necessarily want specialists to be calibrating huge general legal systems for the entire population. Indeed, just look at the Federal Circuit and what they've done to patent law. (E.g., it is now a shitshow). That's what can happen when you give people who "aren't clueless" broad power over a legal system. The judges on the Federal Circuit come from a bubble of specialists, and their sensitivity towards broad public interest considerations is going to be different than if they came from a larger pool of generalists.
But when it comes down to it, I think tech-savvinness can't hurt. Having a little background knowledge about the new digital reality of people's day-to-day lives helps fill in the gaps without having to pore over the briefs, helps one's intuition to go off with that gut feeling of "Hey, this would be weird" a lot faster.
I do worry that SCOTUS tech-unsavviness is going to be a problem. But in the case of Aereo, I think the attorneys and the justices did their due diligence. My feeling from oral arguments is that they got it. They understand where Aereo fits in the copyright universe, they understand the preceding cases that have given rise to this particular case, they understand that this case could have broad unintended consequences. Yesterday I was most impressed with something Breyer said — he talked about the first sale doctrine in oral arguments. First sale! In a case that has nothing to do with first sale! Breyer knows that as our media consumption shifts to streaming and the cloud, consumer rights as embodied in ownership of physical copies are being degraded. Breyer is on the money and I have my fingers crossed that he'll write the opinion for this one.
But you know what? I still don't think that Breyer knows shit about computers.
I'm just not super bothered by that.
errata for the post that went unexpectedly viralish
So I never expected that post about Mashable and the Supreme Court to be widely read. I wrote it very late at night (I think I made the last edits around 1 am?) after a very long day that began with me waking up at 4 am on a sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court. So 1) the writing isn't that great and I really could have used a copy-editor; 2) I made some quasi-mistakes — really I think they're just points that are unclear and could use some longer commentary:
Supreme Court Justices Are Not Good With Computers
I hate this article ("The Supreme Court Justices, Ranked by Their Tech Savvy in the Aereo Case").
It's not just a vapid listicle, the analysis is actually majorly wrong.
To be clear, that entire bench is just not very tech savvy. And neither are the attorneys who come and speak to them. This was evident during oral arguments for CLS v. Alice, when counsel for the petitioners told Kennedy that nearly all software was written in a weekend in a coffee shop and then no one contradicted him.
And in today's arguments, everyone referred repeatedly to "cloud computing" when they really just mean "the cloud" or "cloud music lockers." And when I say "everyone" I mean all nine justices plus counsel for the petitioners plus counsel for the respondents plus the deputy solicitor general for the United States government.
When it comes down to it, everyone who's anyone inside that courtroom is most likely an incompetent Luddite. There's no point even putting them in an ordered list, except to be arbitrarily unkind to Scalia and/or Thomas by putting them in the bottom. And while making fun of the Supreme Court is a paradigmatic example of punching up, this particular form is not just fruitless, it's ill-informed.
The Mashable analysis is terrible, and here is why:
1. Sonia Sotomayor
What Mashable had to say: Sotomayor, who was appointed by President Obama, demonstrated a good grip of the technology and some of the nuances involved in the Aereo case. At one point, she asked a lawyer for the broadcasters: "How about Simple.TV or Nimble.TV, which is not quite a hybrid?" Both of those services are newcomers to the scene. She also asked questions about how Aereo relates to other cloud computing and streaming companies, like Roku, iCloud and Dropbox.
The obvious truth of the matter: Sotomayor asked a clerk to draw up a list of cloud technologies. She then read the list the night before. She at least owns a Roku, but it's not clear how familiar she is with very common cloud technologies — like Dropbox and iCloud. Sotomayor made multiple faux pas, including a reference to "iDrop" and "Netflick." She also asked whether Roku had gotten licenses needlessly. Answer: Roku does not get licenses [addendum here] and no one knows what the hell she's talking about.
2. Stephen Breyer
What Mashable had to say: Breyer, a Clinton appointee, was among the most active justices in pushing the debate forward during oral arguments. Speaking to the broadcasters' lawyer, he was clearly weighing whether a decision against Aereo by the court would set a bad precedent for the cloud computing industry […]
And what does this have to do with tech savvy?: It doesn't. Breyer's most compelling hypothetical had to do with FedExing a phonograph. In a similar vein, his favorite hypo for the CLS v. Alice oral arguments had to do with King Tut and an abacus. … Are you starting to see a pattern? Breyer has a wonderfully complete and nuanced big picture of the shift in copyright law and the death of first sale doctrine. That doesn't mean he understands shit about computers.
3. Anthony Kennedy
What Mashable had to say: Kennedy, who was appointed by President Reagan, posed an interesting question about the line between Aereo being in control, a person being in control, and how that affects the situation. He questioned both sides on how they would align the 2008 Cablevision case's precedent on cloud storage and playback with their own arguments.
What really went down: Kennedy's questions were boring. He lacked imagination with respect to the different kinds of services that Aereo would affect. Not that this should be surprising. CLS v. Alice made it exceedingly obvious that Kennedy doesn't know anything about computers.
4. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
What Mashable had to say: Ginsburg, a Clinton appointee, touched on the "dime-size" antennas of Aereo, as well as the fact that the company pays no retransmission fees. She was quiet at first but came alive to push Aereo's lawyer repeatedly.
Good goddamn grief: Ginsburg mumbled the entire time and was mostly set on making it clear to the other justices how hard she is going to rule against Aereo. This was no surprise to any of the copyright wonks in the room. Ginsburg tends towards copyright maximalism and in that respect is the least innovation-friendly, least tech-friendly justice in that room.
5. Elena Kagan
What Mashable had to say: Kagan, who was appointed by President Obama, showed a keen understanding at times of the basics of how Aereo works, as well as the broader cloud computing industry. At one point, she asked a question of Aereo attorney David Frederick that compared Aereo to basic cable service […]
Kagan is not even that bad: At this point, Mashable is beginning to underrate, rather than overrate, Justices. Kagan clearly understood the problems at play, at least as well as (perhaps better than) Sotomayor and Breyer did. And better yet, Kagan clearly had certain services in mind when asking her questions (user generated content services like YouTube) while having the forbearance not to explicitly name the service and risk sounding silly like Sotomayor did.
6. Chief Justice John Roberts
What Mashable had to say: Roberts, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, had a moment when he displayed some confusion on exactly what Aereo is, and how existing laws might apply to the company. At one point, Roberts said, "It'd be much easier for you if you'd just have to make one copy and everybody could get a copy."
Frederick then had to explain that subscribers must go to Aereo to watch TV or begin recording and are unable to access content otherwise. Frederick then had to explain the difference between Aereo and video on demand.
The exchange ended with Roberts illuminating Aereo's own point in that customers can access broadcast TV only at their discretion but the service does not actually serve content on demand.
Roberts is somewhat known for his lack of technology expertise, once asking the difference between email and a pager.
Yeah sure Roberts is a derp: Roberts is bad at graphs and numbers and all that. See, e.g.,
But guess what? Mashable completely missed the line of Roberts's argument. It's not that Roberts didn't "get" how Aereo worked or why Aereo serves multiple "copies." It's that he was trying to get counsel to admit that Aereo was purposefully availing itself of the Cablevision "exception". Why does Aereo have thousands of antennae instead of just a few? Why doesn't Aereo engage in extensive deduplication practices? Mashable missed this maybe because Mashable doesn't even understand that the logic of Cablevision, rather than the facts of this particular technology, is the heart of this case.
7. Samuel Alito
What Mashable had to say: Alito, a George W. Bush appointee, asked one question that demonstrated a nuanced understanding of the difference between Aereo and the Cablevision decision that has been regarded as a precedent in this case, but largely kept quiet during the rest of the oral arguments.
Are you serious?: Given that Cablevision is the most important part of the case, this seems like a pretty damn good question to ask. Another thing to note is that Alito was temporarily recused from this case until he unrecused himself. It's largely thought that this was because of stock in his portfolio. Stock in which company? A broadcasting company? Aereo? Either way, I'd love to know what he thinks about his (former) investment.
8. Antonin Scalia
What Mashable had to say: The most embarrassing comments of the oral arguments came from Scalia. At one point he indicated that he did not know that HBO is a paid premium cable channel, thinking instead that it is available for free over the airwaves.
Ugh: This is the dumbest fucking part of the list. Here's the relevant portion of the oral arguments:
If it looks like Scalia is blustering in the transcript — well, he's not. He was completely cool, he and Frederick were simply trying to talk over each other the entire time.
There is no indication that Scalia thinks HBO comes free over the airwaves. He was referring specifically to distant signals, which is — AHEM — a technical term:
A "distant signal" is a broadcast signal you cannot receive off the air (with a "rabbit ears" antenna) because you're too far away from where the signal originates. Expressed another way, a local signal can be defined as one that is within a radius of between 40 and 60 miles of a transmitting antenna broadcast depending on its transmitter's strength. Distant signals originate as over-the-air signals and then are picked up and retransmitted as part of the retransmitter's basic programming package (like basic cable). That means that programming that originates on specialty and pay television services (like Discovery, ESPN, and TBN) does not generate retransmission royalties. (See Copyright Royalties).
Scalia was feeling out Aereo's effects on the larger system of broadcasts and transmissions. It's a complicated system with checks and balances and royalties that have been developed over time. If Aereo is allowed to win, then what happens? His question with respect to HBO was aimed at seeing whether counsel for the respondents could paint a convincingly non-alarming future.
[Edit: A reader pointed out that HBO still isn't a distant signal under this definition, which is true. So either Scalia doesn't know which services are retransmissions of distant signals, or if we want to be really charitable, he was glossing over to make a broader point about the spectrum of different kinds of television. It's probably the former. But to be fair, I bet you didn't know what a distant signal is, either.]
N/A: Clarence Thomas
What Mashable had to say: As for Justice Thomas, who was appointed by President George H.W. Bush, we have no definite proof he was there, but can assume so because nobody said he was missing. Thomas has not asked a single question at oral arguments in more than eight years.
Well I guess you couldn't have known, but…: Since the Supreme Court does not stream video, only attendees (*smug look*) could have seen this — Thomas thumbing through the appendices of the briefs, following each citation as oral arguments cited particular pages. Thomas was silent, but he was hyper-engaged.
In conclusion, SCOTUS are not very good at computers, but they are not stupid, either. I wouldn't want any of them to fix my wi-fi for me, but I am actually feeling okay about them taking a crack at ABC v. Aereo. But anyways, you probably want to know how I'd order a list of the justices by tech-savviness. Well, if I'm sorting by "most willing to allow to fix my wi-fi for me" to "least willing to allow to fix my wi-fi for me" then it would go something like:
1. Kagan
2. Roberts
3. Alito
4. Sotomayor
5. Thomas
6. Breyer
7. Scalia
8. Kennedy
9. Ginsburg
The list is front-loaded with young justices. I pushed Sotomayor back because "iDrop" was such an egregious error. Roberts is likely terrible with computers but I am guessing both he and Alito will go for "turn it on and off" much faster than Sotomayor would. I have no idea how Thomas would be around a router, but I have it on good authority that he would take the task much more seriously than Breyer. Scalia is close to last, beat out by Kennedy, who is just entirely too smug to be trusted around technology, and Ginsburg, who would probably take the opportunity to try to destroy the internet for everyone, not just me.
Edit (9:38 AM): Woke up to find that this post was a little more popular than I thought it would be when I wrote it at 1 in the morning. Excuse the typos and also the fact that I was too tired to look for hilarious oral arguments other than CLS v. Alice, mockery for which I already had on hand.
Also, if you enjoyed this post, there's more irreverent informativeness about intellectual property in my weekly newsletter I write with Parker Higgins (@xor). Subscribe here.
Edit 2 (7:45 PM): I've written a follow-up on how much I think tech savvinness actually matters. (Answer: Not much).

Oh, and Xbox360 - $300
And look, $200
And it comes with a controller and SD cables, so if you want to make the "PC doesn't need a monitor" argument, then I can make the same for consoles and say you don't need all that extra **** and we already have an almost $500 price difference.
I really don't give a **** which is better. I own all consoles and a decent gaming PC, so whatever has better titles, I buy games for.
Let me summarize what I am trying to get your thick skull to understand.
1. The OP is RETARDED
2. Consoles aren't going anywhere. Ever.
3. Who gives a **** which is better?
I am done with this thread. All these idiotic console/pc threads turn into bull**** threads anyway.
You're comparing to prices of a 360 now, 3 years later?????????????? At launch they were more came with nothing. You had to buy extra controller, HD, cables, etc..
Point is I can build a gaming PC for not much more than a PS3 that can do much more than just play Sony exclusive games - oh yea that cost $10-20 more than a PC game...
If you already have a HD TV that you will be connecting your console to, instead you connect a PC via DVI or HDMI what quality are you gonna lose?? 1080P from a PC too. Sheesh. I think you are trying to comprehend too much at once and can't.

Jefferson is a city in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, United States, and is its county seat. It is located at the confluence of the Rock and Crawfish rivers. The population was 7,973 at the 2010 census.[6] The city is located partially within the Town of Jefferson.
The location of Jefferson was selected to make use of the water power and transportation opportunities offered by the Rock River. It was the furthest point that a steamboat was able to navigate the Rock in 1839.[7] Later bridges built downstream prevented such navigation.
Jefferson was a New England settlement. The original founders of Jefferson consisted entirely of settlers from New England, particularly Connecticut, rural Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, as well some from upstate New York who were born to parents who had migrated to that region from New England shortly after the American Revolution. These people were "Yankee's", that is to say they were descended from the English Puritans who settled New England in the 1600s. They were part of a wave of New England farmers who headed west into what was then the wilds of the Northwest Territory during the early 1800s. Most of them arrived as a result of the completion of the Erie Canal as well as the end of the Black Hawk War. When they arrived in what is now Jefferson there was nothing but dense virgin forest and wild prairie, the New Englanders laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings and established post routes. They brought with them many of their Yankee New England values, such as a passion for education, establishing many schools as well as staunch support for abolitionism. They were mostly members of the Congregationalist Church though some were Episcopalian. Due to the second Great Awakening some of them had converted to Methodism and some had become Baptists before moving to what is now Jefferson. Jefferson, like much of Wisconsin, would be culturally very continuous with early New England culture for most of its early history.[8][9]
During World War II, Camp Jefferson, a prison camp for German POWs, was erected at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.[10] The Jefferson County Fairgrounds hosted horse buggy racing prior to the renovations to the new fairgrounds.
Jefferson is located at 43°0′11″N 88°48′28″W / 43.00306°N 88.80778°W (43.003091, -88.807855).[11]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.93 square miles (15.36 km2), of which 5.72 square miles (14.81 km2) is land and 0.21 square miles (0.54 km2) is water.[1]
Jefferson's elevation is 797 ft (243 m) at the center of downtown.

This spell surrounds you with an aura of nothingness that channels mysterious energies.
Creatures adjacent to you when this spell is cast and at the start of your turn take 2d6 points of damage. In addition, creatures affected by your aura are fatigued, cannot breathe, and cannot speak or cast spells with verbal components.

I had done a lot of research prior to booking and decided upon River's Edge. My decision was made based on the fact that I got more bang for my buck, being that it's not located in say downtown Portland.
I'm in my early thirties but have been mistaken to be much younger, most of the staff I encountered were easily in their 20's. Oftentimes when dealing with younger individuals the level of professionalism isn't the same as it would be for an older person, but I was treated with the utmost respect by these young employees and also by those who were older than myself.
I rented the Deluxe Hillside Suite to spend my Christmas in and it was beautiful. I didn't even leave my room, it was over 700 sq ft, with a fireplace, a dining table for 6, separate shower and luxurious bathtub, floor to ceiling windows that wrapped around and my own personal balcony. Being that this was my first time booking a hotel room I had planned to take a visit before doing so, I wanted to be sure that I was getting my hard earned money's worth. Had I visited I might have thought twice about it because the location didn't seem so great and there was construction going on, I'm very happy that I saw past that upon my arrival because I was quickly reassured once I entered the hotel.

Space Informatics Lab
The Space Informatics Lab (SIL) has been established in March 2011 by Dr. Tomasz Stepinski at the University of Cincinnati. SIL is located within the Department of Geography. Its research is supported by the UC Space Exploration Research Fund, as well as research grants from NSF and NASA.
SIL develops intelligent algorithms for fast and intuitive exploration of large spatial datasets originating from either remote sensing of Earth and other planets or from extensive on the ground surveys like those provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Without effective tools for exploring and analyzing this big data, the ability of scientific community to get insights from the entirety of the collected data is limited. SIL aims at development of tools which would make intelligent exploration of these vast datasets accessible and intuitive.

Remember Me
After much anticipation, Hazie Maze is proud to announce the release of its sophomore album, Bring Us Together. With its sexy electro-funkmatic charisma, this album exemplifies the progress of the Maze with its fine-tuned sound and a vast array of high energy, synthesized dance beats, hip-hop styling, and some new darker ambient grooves. This 2002 Boston Music Award nominee strikes again, and this time a lot harder!
The 10 songs on Bring Us Together contain layers of sound that increase the intensity of this studio album and bring out unique strengths in each of the seven talented band members. These band members include powerhouse lead vocalist Amee Jana, bassist Drew Bud, keyboards/synthesizer player Chris Bingham, trombonist Chris Marson, Eric Brooks on tenor saxophone, Ty Osborne on drums and percussion, and former member Max Crystal on guitar.
Bring Us Together will be available next month at various locations in the Northeast including Newbury Comics, CD Spins and Tower Records, and on-line at CdBaby.com. As always, the Maze will be touring all over the East Coast in support of the new album.
Hazie Maze will be celebrating with a CD release party at the House of Blues in Cambridge, MA on Friday, December 6th, 2002.
Hazie Maze's raw energy on stage has been highly acclaimed since their first show in 2000. They have been eager to release an album for their fans that represents this same quality of musicianship, unique variation of song-writing, and simple fun-loving hooks that compels audiences to sing and dance along at shows. Fans have raved at the band's ability to possess both an underground-funk sound and a heavier-jam sound, which makes them appeal to mainstream listeners as well as live band junkies. Their audience continues to grow with each performance.
Bring Us Together was recorded at the acclaimed Long View Studios in Brookfield, MA, where albums such as Aerosmith's Get A Grip and Creed's Weathered were also recorded. The Maze spent about 60 hours at the studio laying down the basic tracks. The album was then finished at Waltz Studio in Boston, MA months later.
To listen to tracks from the new album, view live show footage, or catch up with compelling live reviews and featured stories on the band's birth and lift-off, check out Hazie Maze online.

I love your salad spinner. It is a great time saver for me. I wash my romaine and leafy lettuce, tear it into pieces, place them in the spinner and spin off the water. The clean and dried lettuce is stored in a container in the refrigerator - ready to use as needed. The Salad Spinner makes "preparing salads" easy.
You don't have to go out to a restaurant to get a good salad anymore! This product spins the lettuce and draws just the right amount of moisture out, put in refrigerator for and hour and it crisps the lettuce to perfection. Necessary tool for life.
Don't waste your money on any other spinner. I had a cheap one which I rarely used because it was difficult to operate and a very poor design. The design and materials of this one are very high quality. The pump action is smooth and the bowl catches all the water and is easily cleaned out. Also, it is multi-purpose since you can use the outer bowl for serving.
4.5 out of 5 stars, based on 234 ratings
98% of reviewers recommend this product
95% say this is a "good value"
Love this salad spinner. Been wanting one for awhile . This gets the water off greens wonderfully . Use it a lot and love the stop mechanism. Customer Service was wonderful. Thanks Again.
Does what it is supposed to and seems fairly well made.
I find the spinner very easy to use and is a time saver
This is the first salad spinner I have owned. Works Great! Very easy to use and clean. Amazing product! I can also store the spun lettuce right in the spinner and it stays fresh much longer than in a regular covered bowl. I would recommend this product to all my friends that have never used one! Very pleased with product, and as usual, very pleased with Cooking.com and their service.
Its perfect! More than I expected.

Sam Venable: A treasure worth more than money
Two retirees from Ohio brought items to Knoxville for last weekend's taping of "Antiques Roadshow." They went home with less-than-expected estimates of their treasures' worth.
Big deal.
Their brief time in our midst turned out to be an experience that transcends finances. Such is the rich payoff from a display of down-home East Tennessee hospitality.
"Oh, my gosh!" Phyllis Seidel exclaimed to me. "It was wonderful."
Seidel and her friend Cheryl Haggard came from Hamilton, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. They checked in at the World's Fair Park Holiday Inn and took the hotel's shuttle to Market Square. Their driver ("Sam") recommended dining at Tupelo Honey.
As Seidel wrote in an email to the News Sentinel: "Our waitress made a couple of suggestions about their most popular dishes. While she was getting our drinks, we began discussing our options.
"There was a young couple sitting at the table next to us who overheard our exchange with the wait person. The wife turned to us and asked where we were from and said they were locals who lived about five miles away.
"She said they had been to Tupelo Honey several times and told us her favorite menu item, 'chicken saltimbocca,' was incredible. I decided to order her suggestion."
Turned out the dining tip was perfect.
So was the follow-up conversation.
"We continued to chat as we savored each morsel," said Seidel. "We neared the end of our meal, and they got up to leave.
"As they departed, Cheryl and I talked about how their company made our meal so much more fun and that Knoxville was proving to be a wonderful experience."
Things got even better when their check arrived.
Yep, the tab had been paid in full. Yep, by the anonymous couple.
"Cheryl and I walked out in awe," Seidel said when I made a follow-up phone call. "I can't believe we never even got their names!"
Seidel said this gesture made such an impact on her, she plans to practice it herself when encountering visitors in Ohio.
"I have a time-share in Gatlinburg and visit there quite often," she added, "but I'd never spent time in Knoxville. I certainly will now!"
By the way, what did they bring for appraisal?
"I had a quilt my mother made in the 1920s, plus some teapots from Hong Kong," Seidel replied. "Cheryl brought a 100-year-old lamp her father had once owned.
"None turned out to be of great value. I'm sure our portion of the show won't be aired (in 2014).
"But that doesn't matter. Our experience at Tupelo Honey definitely was the highlight of our trip."

Re: not a bug in the hypervisor
I'm reading it as a bug in one of the drivers provided by the VMware Tools package allowing privilege escalation in a Windows VM running the affected driver.

Anything that takes 5 years to become less difficult shouldn't have been released in the first place.
You mean like . . . Linux?
The previous code was just really horrendous," Meeks said. "Dialogs were constructed and drawn by hand – in fact, not even by hand. Programmers just sort of entered random numbers to lay them out, and it really looked awful.
This says it all. I believe this is the design philosophy behind all F/OSS and, indeed, all *nix GUI-oriented software.
If you had $30 million in VC money riding on what someone else thought of your attire, I'm willing to bet you'd learn to care.
I haven't used Server 2012, but I have used 2008 R2, and I've found it to be robust and stable, and much easier to configure and use than any version of *nix, so I'm guessing that Microsoft has done some good work enhancing those qualities with 2012.
Note that I say this as someone who has deployed various flavors of Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris over the years. I recall very well Microsoft's dirty tricks. Nonetheless, I'm willing to sing the praises of Windows as it now runs because it meets my needs and the needs of the business I support.
Finally, I'm entirely fed up with this knee-jerk fanboy mentality in the technology. Maybe you should try judging technology on its actual merits instead of engaging in childish my-sideism. Eadon, I'm looking at you.
I notice that, like most *nix zealots, you ignored the detailed post which addresses your points and chose to focus on the troll.
BTW, I'm not sure what FUDD is. FUD is Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt; FUDD is presumably Elmer Fudd's XBox gamertag, and I'm not sure how that's relevant.
. . . have no sense of humor that we're aware of.
@Elmer Phud:
I see what you did there, even if no one else did.
All that's happening is the next step in an ongoing evolutionary process. Over the past few decades, the number of intermediate steps between slow storage and fast compute has been growing, with on-die CPU cache, level 2 cache, level 3 cache, system RAM, HBA/controller caching, onboard flash cache, storage array cache, on-drive cache, and now array flash storage providing yet another layer designed to improve the speed of transfer from static storage to active compute. The slowest storage has essentially stagnated, from a speed perspective, merely growing in capacity. The next tier up, "fast" spinning disk, is itself turning into yet another intermediary layer for staging data.
All any of this means is that same as it always has: ultimately, the goal is to touch the disk as little as possible and keep the relatively small amount of data you're actually using somewhere else.
You think that mistyping slashes is a skill?
<FoghornLeghorn>It's a joke, son.</FoghornLeghorn>
The project manager, meanwhile - and this is a man who is known to have struggled for some minutes to find the main menu in the new FireFox - has written a Python program that interrogates his diary in Google Calendar and switches on the central heating in his holiday cottage in Wales so that everything is nice and toasty when he arrives for the weekend.
So, the typical Reg reader, then?
Hey, now, don't let logic, reason, and law get in the way of a perfectly good American Hate thread.
The idea of buying converged systems from a single supplier is often pooh-poohed as "proprietary", especially by suppliers who don't have the three technologies needed in-house, and the main three suppliers in that position are Cisco, EMC and NetApp. Both EMC and NetApp are trying to attract the attention of Cisco, the great converged stack prize, and hoping to be chosen as its preferred partner.
I think that might answer your question.
The problem with the "converged stack" theory is that it's the mainframe redux: you're locked into buying giant units of equipment from a single vendor. Virtualization ameliorates this issue somewhat, insofar as you can easily move your processing workloads elsewhere, but storage lock-in is especially pernicious since storage is the hardest resource to move away from. The discerning IT equipment purchaser will look for the opportunity to retain flexibility.
Also, take your Huawei shilling elsewhere.
So, Dave 126, what you're saying is that the HD 4000 is slightly less shitty than the HD 3000 but it still basically sucks. Thanks for backing me up!
I could see really getting a lot of use out of this class of device. I could even live with the piddling RAM and storage. But Intel graphics? REALLY? If there's one thing I don't want in a tablet, it's a graphics processor which is slow yet hot and hungry.
Both the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ICS-CERT, which normally deals with security issues involving industry control kit, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are reportedly taking an interest in the issue.
Clearly the problem is excessive regulation by the federal authorities. They shouldn't bother the poor manufacturer with their intrusive regulations and requirements; they should just let the free market sort it out!
(This is what some people actually believe.)
I would totally buy that if someone made an electronic version of BattleTech or Car Wars to run on it.
After using SCOM 2012 for a little while, I appreciate its power, but the workflow is still extremely awkward and inflexible. If Microsoft have made it possible to do hypervisor and VM management with the same ease and simplicity of vSphere, then this might be interesting. Any other commentards care to weigh in?
Also, in before Eadon's bitching and moaning about the evil of Microsoft and how there's some OSS version that is faster, cheaper, and more stable, and which will simultaneously ease all your virtualization woes while massaging your prostate.
As other commentards have noted, people buy what they need. The only place anyone cares about who makes the software is your mom's basement.
@ dogged:
Yes, but then he'd have to leave the comfort and safety of his bridge.
I predict many anti-Facebook comments which amount to the above.
The thing is that Trevor is not just doing technical writing. If he were putting together white papers for prospective client or technical documentation, I would agree with your criticism, but he's writing blog-style articles for a publication renowned for its ironic or sarcastic tone, so an injection of personal perspective is absolutely called for. I don't personally find him to be a know-it-all; I get the impression that he's genuinely enthusiastic about the technology he uses and proud of the solutions he creates for his clients.
YMMV, of course.
Despite having a similar title, you work in a very different world with very different tools, and I'm always enlightened to hear about what other options are out there. Keep the articles coming!
My god, you're right! Cheap access to space will never benefit anyone! What possible use could it be to put things in space? And electric cars? Why even bother to innovate in that area? These rich guys should just take their money and spend it on giant impractical vanity yachts instead of trying to invest in the future!
Or they might become filthy, antisocial, neckbearded basement-dwellers with a propensity for condescension and self-righteousness. Then you'd have a peer group!
The main reason I can think of to continue the ban is to retain some kind of peace and quiet on the plane. Screaming babies are bad enough, but the last think I want to endure on a 10+ hour intercontinental flight is drunks yelling into their cell phones. "HEY BRO, GUESS WHERE I AM!"
If I wanted to endure that sort of behavior, I'd go to the movies more often.
"Why the down votes?!"
Because you've shown yourself to be utterly devoid of a sense of humor.
Ooh, look at that, you've earned the coveted Double Facepalm.
Noooooo . . . my point is that someone attempting to grab power via political machination is unlikely to forecast the fact that they're going to do so by admitting it, so a denial is meaningless. It is not confirmation of intent, per se. How seriously one takes the denial depends on how trustworthy one considers the ITU.
None of this should be construed as a statement of belief on my part that the ITU is in fact attempting any such thing. I was making a lighthearted off the cuff statement and have now driven this point as far into the ground as I can bear.
"Never mind that the ITU itself says no threat exists."
. . . they would say that, wouldn't they, especially if they were launching a power grab!
. . . the Microsoft Surface concept is exactly the sort of thing I would like to see--something with a thin tablet form factor and detachable keyboard (and mouse, ideally) which runs an OS that will run the same apps as my desktop (which the Surface RT won't, I realize, but the Surface Pro will). To my mind, that's less "confused" and more "functional."
Now, whether Microsoft's implementation of this concept is any good is something I have yet to investigate, but the fact that both Eric and Tim are willing to write it off without even trying it is a sign of a blind spot that Microsoft may be able to exploit.
The ELA is a side-effect of the lock-in. The lock-in is the effect of having data and logic tied in with a proprietary system, migration away from which is expensive and difficult. The ELA is a way of ensuring ongoing support and upgrades for the buyer, and it also provides a tidy little revenue stream for the vendor.
I agree that losing this revenue stream would be disastrous for the vendors who rely upon it, but CIOs and other decision-makers need to see that a) migration to a competing platform or product is less expensive over n years and b) that it yields sufficient tangible benefits to be worth the effort in the first place. It's likely that there's no one who doesn't want, on some level, to migrate away from Oracle, but justifying the time and expense may be challenging, regardless of the ELA.
Nethack is being considered for the next induction.
Now if we can just get rid of the smug, superior gits who insist that everyone who uses technology differently from them is an idiot, the world will be a much better place. Sadly, the two go hand in hand:
Technology Zealot: "Why don't you just switch to <Technology X>? It's so much more awesome than what you're using!"
Me: "Because I want/need to do this thing over there which is unsupported by or outrageously difficult on <Technology X>."
TZ: "If you just employ <horrendous, semi-functional workaround>, you'll be fine!"
Me: "<Horrendous, semi-functional workaround> is semi-functional and horrendous, and I have neither the time nor the particular inclination to try to implement it just for the achievement of using <Technology X>. Also, the user interface looks like it was shat out by a five-year-old."
TZ: "Your a idiot lol"
Like I'd trust NASA. Everyone knows they're behind chemtrails, HAARP, the FEMA concentration camps, George W. Bush's hurricane machine, geoengineering, ESD, autism-causing vaccines, and all manner of other perfidy! There's no question in my mind that if they're denying it, it must be true! Time to bend over and kiss your asses bye-bye, suckers!
I would like a tablet that can run real applications at decent speed and which comes with a detachable keyboard. The Surface Pro checks all the boxes, and Windows 8 is growing on me, but I fear the build quality.
Aaalmost complete . . . you needed to throw in a Monsanto reference for good measure.
Two things:
1) Lighten up, Francis.
2) I just upvoted *Matt Bryant.* I may faint.
Someone should come out with a new version of the TCP/IP stack, maybe with an expanded address space to cope with the larger number of IP-connected devices, improved automatic address assignment, built-in security, and a bunch of other cool functionality. Of course, you'd need to increment the version number, maybe twice even, from the existing version four.
I wonder what you'd call something like that and why it hasn't been widely implemented yet?
Looks like EMC has finally tried to deliver on one of their promises, which is to make Isilon a contender for VMware storage. I'd be curious to know what the hard numbers on the latency reduction are. Percentages are nice, but what is the actual range shift, one wonders.
Macowvellian, surely?
Central America is not a continent. Also, the Central Americans I talked to while living in Guatemala all indicated that they didn't consider Mexico part of Central America, possibly because they Mexicans take the same attitude towards Central Americans sneaking in as the US does with regard to Mexicans, except the Mexican border guards beat the shit out of people sneaking across then throw them back.
Mine's the one with the jar of lubricant.
The tasteless comments by civilized and compassionate Reg readers show that there's plenty of cynicism alive and well here.
Hows about [sic] you keep your illiterate, sadistic jingoism to yourself?
Back in my day, permanent character death was the *only* kind of death. Kids today . . .
I see this working with an in-line deduplication appliance that stages the data to disk, deduplicates it, then writes out the compressed data and, critically, the deduplication index. It seems like you would lose some raw throughput, but that's probably compensated by not having to write as much data to tape in the first place.
@Trevor: in my *personal* opinion, there's nothing wrong with it. I actually am quite enjoying Windows 8, in fact, but the general response amongst El Reg commentards is that any positive response to Windows 8 must be met with downvotes and vitriol.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Eurth is an alternate Earth created by the Shaper of Worlds, with Eternity, Infinity, the Living Tribunal and Uatu the Watcher overseeing. Glorian, Prester John and Stranger help in the creation. The result is a world of sword and sorcery inhabitated by alternate reality counterparts to classic Marvel heroes and villains. The names and circumstances may differ but the essence remains the same. While for the most part who is who among the characters is clear, there are still some peculiarities. *Captain Avalon is clearly a counterpart of Captain America but his mystical origin as depicted is more reminiscent of Captain Britain. *His Lady of the Lake also plays a Roma-like role. *Deathlight is supposed to be a combination of Blackout and Living Laser. But the armor depicted has a stylistic resemblance to the Silver Samurai. *The Moondragon counterpart may be a poor depiction of Moonstone. *Spider-Man and his foes were redesigned to be magical creatures. Only the Scorpion counterpart seems to resemble a green-colored Brood. *The character with Morbius' looks plays a part more reminiscent of Baron Blood. *Thor is described as a Mighty Destroyer. Which is actually another Marvel character. *Widow of the Web is a Madame Web counterpart in her role in Spidey's life. But her costume is patterned after Spider-Woman/Jessica Drew.

The good news: Ubisoft ended the calendar year 2005 with a bang. The France-based publisher had a record-breaking third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2005, in which it grossed 250 million euros ($305.7 million), a 35 percent year-on-year rise--above analyst's expectations. In a statement, the company singled out two titles as the keystones to its success: Prince of Persia The Two Thrones and (deep breath) Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie.
Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft's chief executive officer and raconteur-at-large, ladled out praise in a statement. Restating the obvious, he proclaimed that "2005 was another successful year ... With years of continuous progress behind us, we ranked third independent publisher in Europe in 2005 and fifth in North America. Ubisoft is now established as one of the major players in our industry with highly valuable assets." Ubisoft estimated it had a 4.5 percent market share in the US in 2005, compared with 3.5 percent in 2004.
But despite the Gallic executive's aplomb and Ubisoft's solid numbers, the company actually lowered its outlook for its current fiscal year. The company now anticipates revenues of approximately 130 million euros ($158.9 million) for the quarter ending March 31, 2006, and revenues close to 530 million euros ($648 million) for the year that ends on the same date. During the previous year, Ubi's net haul was 600 million euros ($733.6 million).
Ubisoft said the main reason for the lowered guidance was "The weakness of the video game software market in the U.S. and in Europe." Ironically, Ubisoft also pinned the blame on the same game that it praised for boosting its fiscal third-quarter earnings. "With four million units already in place, lower than initially anticipated reorders of Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie are expected for the fourth quarter," the company said in a statement. The film, which inspired the game, has also been below box office analysts' expectations.
The other big culprit behind Ubi's lowered guidance was the postponement of Splinter Cell Double Agent from the company's fiscal fourth quarter to September. The Tom Clancy-inspired multiplatform series has become a linchpin of the company's release calendar and the highly anticipated game's delay, which has series hero Sam Fisher going undercover in a crime syndicate, will severely impact the company's bottom line.
"Ubisoft is disappointed that our full year results should come below our initial guidance," the company said in a statement.

text: After a recent trip to both, Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm, I have been thinking, since the arrival of Marvel in the park, wouldn't it be nice to see Disney take the parking lot behind paradise pier and do a thrill ride park based on Marvel Characters. High speed sate of the art coasters with interactive queues. Extend the monorail out to make a stop there as well as putting a station stop in at California Adventure. After visiting MM and KBF my views on Disney's cost to visit the resort have changed. The cast members were very rude, unhappy and a displeasure to deal with at both parks as well as both parks being dirty and stinky, not to mention the line structure being a logistical challenge. I would like to see Disney show them how it's really done. I no longer complain about the cost associated with visiting a Disney Park. What are your thoughts?

Scientists have long assumed that they know how pollen produces such debilitating responses. They blame an overreaction by the body's immune system, set off by proteins known as antigens, which are found on the surface of pollen particles--an inappropriate activation of the normal "antigen-mediated" immune response the body uses to defend itself against viruses and bacteria.
Now, though, researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have discovered strong evidence that an additional factor is necessary to cause the severe respiratory inflammation involved in an allergy or asthma attack. This factor is the damage caused by chemically hyperactive molecules known as "reactive oxygen species," which are spawned by interactions between a single pollen-carried enzyme and the cells that line airways. And, the researchers say, if an effective way can be found to reduce that damage--called "oxidative stress"--new and powerful allergy and asthma therapies may result.
"There has been a lot of discussion about oxidative stress exacerbating asthma and allergies, but this is the first direct evidence that oxidative stress is required to induce a robust inflammation, and the first demonstration that a source of that stress is right there in the pollen itself," said UTMB associate professor Istvan Boldogh, a lead author of a paper on the research that will be published online August 1 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel is writing checks in advance of Sunday's playoff matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, labelling himself and his playmaking prowess as 'Swag 100'. "I'm swag 100% of the time,'' Samuel told Jim Corbett of USA TODAY Sports. "In order to have swag, you have to be balling -- doing your thing and making game-changing plays, like I've been doing." (he's talking about football, right?) To Samuel, the man with the "Get Paid" tattoo, its all about swagger (well, and getting paid of course). "It's all about being a leader, making everybody around you better," he said. "That's what I want to do, make everybody around me better and have everybody go out for one common goal: to win a championship.'' Although Samuel gave himself a new moniker, teammate Roddy White already had one for him. "Human Crowd Noise," he said laughing. "Asante talks a lot. And he makes practice fun.
