LCD Backlight Burnout...
When I got my new (to me) iBook G3 800, I wound up selling my old iBook 600 to my friend. She has had it for less than a month, and the LCD Backlight has burned out. She contacted Apple (she says) and claims she was told that they would not sell her the part outright, and that it would cost $343 anyways. A certified Apple tech she knows from her workplace can't get the part either. I'm going to see about getting an iBook off eBay for parts, and see if I can't scrounge a Backlight for her. Does anyone have any instructions or know of a site with instructions for replacing the backlight? Could there be another explaination for what happened, or am I on the right track?
Update: It appears my first thought was correct. After a full day of searching, it appears the iBook has the exact symptons of an iBook with a fried Display inverter. The Part costs around $40, so I'm going to try and get that and repair the display. I'll post my results here later. :)

Political Pulse 09.13.09
CORPUS CHRISTI - Where's a lifeguard when you need one?
The failed proposal to redevelop Memorial Coliseum into an Olympic swimming center sank for many reasons, but for one councilman the National Swimming Center Corp.'s presentation during the council meeting Tuesday was the last straw.
During the presentation, board members explaining their project repeatedly misidentified items on their site plan and got confused which drawing represented a proposed hotel.
"I think the swim center did itself a disservice tonight," Councilman Larry Elizondo told them. "I think they should have been better prepared. They should be embarrassed."
This one's for John Marez: 'Finally!'
As the final vote came to approve Brass Real Estate's plan for coliseum redevelopment, Councilman John Marez suggested a newspaper headline he wanted to see in the next day's newspaper.
"I want the headline tomorrow to say, 'Finally.' "
Mark Scott needs his Starbucks
At a noontime fundraiser for Texas Speaker of the House Joe Straus at the Town Club on Thursday, City Councilman Mark Scott was trying to coerce Haas-Anderson Construction President Darryl Haas into finishing work on Doddridge Street quicker.
"This is all about my shortcut to Starbucks," Scott implored.
Fundraiser for Straus raises about $25K
Thursday night, state Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, and lobbyist Hugo Berlanga hosted a small, private fundraiser for Speaker Straus at the Corpus Christi Yacht Club.
The event, which included Port Chairman Ruben Bonilla, lawyer Fil Vela, Dr. Charles Campbell and businessmen R.C. Allen and Raymond Wetegrove, raised about $25,000 for the speaker, Berlanga said.
Wind, rain and all hail Todd Hunter
More than 100 Republicans from Nueces, Aransas, Calhoun and San Patricio counties waded through a massive downpour Friday to get to Fil and Rose Vela's Ocean Drive home for a meet-and-greet breakfast for Straus.
Straus referred to Rep. Hunter as "Dr. Windstorm" for his work on windstorm insurance reform this session. Then he suggested his own nickname.
"As a politician you can remember me as Dr. Rainstorm," the speaker said.
Balderas eyes 3rd term as justice of the peace
Justice of the Peace Robert "Bobby" Balderas announced Thursday he will seek re-election for the Precinct 1, Place 3 seat.
Balderas, a Democrat, first was elected in 2003. He is seeking his third term.
Gonzalez Toureilles a friend of counties
State Rep. Yvonne Gonzalez Toureilles, D-Alice, will be honored as a Friend of County Government by the Texas Association of Counties, a statewide association of county officials.
Area county officials will honor Gonzalez Toureilles at a ceremony Monday in Alice.
"The decision to honor Gonzalez Toureilles, chairman of the Agriculture and Livestock Committee, was an easy one because of her hard work on creating the much-needed technology fund, backing of counties on overweight permits and carrying bills to assist counties and their jails with the impact of parole violators," Jim Wells County Judge Arnold Saenz said.

I was driving home from the gym tonight, reflecting on my first two weeks as a working member of Corporate America. I'm working a Human Resources Internship and loving the experience! One thing I've noticed is that movies and TV shows that portray businesspeople and office workers as engrossed in their work aren't exaggerating. These people have A LOT of tasks to cross off and emails to write.
Because of the extremely busy schedules that my supervisors lead, I want to help them get as much done in as little time as possible with the highest quality as I can. That's 3 strong birds to kill with one stone––i.e., not easy.
This is where asking the right questions comes in. Asking one solid question can free up lots of valuable time for everyone. For example:
Last week, my manager asked me to update a 20-or-so-page document. I delight in editing documents, improving what already exists, and contributing to my company. This project became my "fun side project." When I wasn't training or answering front desk phones, or performing daily duties, I worked on my side project. I didn't think to ask my boss when she needed it completed. For me, the document was too much enjoyment to spend entire days working on, especially when there were so many other important things to work on (I might be weird, but I'm sure there are some grammar and design enthusiasts who identify with me!).
What I didn't realize was that she wanted it finished by today, the Friday of my second week of work and absolutely needs it completed by this Monday. I never stopped to ask what the project deadline was. For my manager, the document was much higher in priority than I assumed that it was.
Needless to say, I would have prioritized my time differently if I would have asked her one simple question: "What day and time would you like this completed by?" It's a blessing to work for my manager because she is gracious and understanding. But you better believe I'll get more information on my next projects!
Now it's your turn. Have you encountered a situation like my side project confusion? What do you do to be sure you ask the right questions? Do you prefer figuring out situations on your own or inquiring of others? Comment below!

Celebrating 20 Years of Achievement
Submitted by: Senator Carol Lévis, MNO Grand River Métis Council
MNO Senator Carol Lévis modelling her capote at the Colourful Planet Fashion Show on April 2, 2014.
On April 2, 2014, Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Grand River Métis Council Senator Carol Lévis had the honour of modeling her capote wrap-around coat at the Colourful Planet Fashion Show, a fundraising event for the Guelph and District Multicultural Festival.
The capote was created at a MNO Grand River Métis Council workshop held in 2013 and is constructed from a 100 per cent wool Hudson Bay Company (HBC) 'point' blanket. The 'points' are the thin black lines on the lapel that denote the original size of the blanket. It was mistakenly thought at one time that the points referred to the number of beaver pelts required to purchase the jacket.
The capote was introduced to North America by the European fur traders who wore them for their heat retention and water repelling capabilities. They were widely traded and highly valued by First Nations, Métis and Europeans alike.
Each capote is unique. Senator Lévis' capote has a rabbit fur trimmed hood, hood tassel, ties, shoulder cuffs, pockets, collar and detachable cape. She belted her capote with a traditional Métis sash, finished all hems with the blanket stitch trim and retained the original HBC blanket label as is the practice. Senator Lévis hopes to add decorative Métis beading in the future.
"Perhaps I need to spend more time with Mitchell Case to stay motivated," she stated. Case has become well known for his beautiful beadwork.
Along with the capote, Senator Lévis modeled her deer-hide scout moccasins she made with beading on the toe plug as well as earrings and a necklace she made from beads, birch bark and porcupine quills. She complimented the whole outfit by toting snowshoes and a mink pelt.

Success Stories
Hi, my name is Deborah and I am a 44 year old single mom. I have two jobs so that I can make ends meet. By day I work as a salesperson at a well known major US clothing retailer and by night I wait tables at a local restaurant. When I get home at night I am exhausted and barely have enough time to spend with my children who I am putting through college. The strain of two jobs was beginning to show, especially on my face where my small wrinkles and lines were beginning to become more noticeable. About 3 weeks ago on my day off (thank goodness for those!) I was doing a search on the web for anti aging skin products and began reading about ingredients. When I found your site I noticed that your anti wrinkle products are formulated with all the latest key ingredients, including Matrixyl, Argireline, Hyalauronic acid and Sesaflash and was also dermatologist recommended. Your prices seemed good and offered a 45 day no risk money back guarantee…hey, I'll take that any day! I decided to order the instant lift serum. A few days after ordering it online I received the serum and was very anxious to try it. Well…within about 6 minutes of applying it on my wrinkles the results were totally dramatic! My crow's feet and lines around my mouth disappeared…I couldn't believe it! People at work are asking me if I had Botox and are telling me that I look 10 years younger! I use the wrinkle serum in the morning before work…it lasts about 8 hours and also before my evening shift at the restaurant. I never imagined that a product like this could exist! I not only look great but feel great about myself too! Thank you Stridermatox…
Deborah L…Tucson AZ
As a licensed esthetician I see just about every new anti age product on the market. About two months ago one of my clients who I see every few months visited me and I was amazed at how great she looked. Having thought that she had a facelift I asked her if she was happy with the result. Much to my amazement she told me that she did not have any surgical procedures but instead found this amazing anti aging serum called Stridermatox 10 Minute Age Defying Lifting Serum on the internet. I simply couldn't believe that a product like this could work. Then she took the purse sized pump bottle out of her purse and let me try some around my eyes where I have crow's feet. Well let me tell you…I was totally amazed!
I actually started to feel my skin tighten around my eyes without any discomfort.In about 6 minutes my crows feet had diminished to the point where I could hardly even see them! The women in my salon were truly astounded by this amazing transformation too…now we are all using Stridermatox 10 Minute Lifting Serum…I am your biggest fan! …

Money market vs. savings accounts
Posted in: Banking
When researching bank rates, you will often see money market account rates and savings account rates lumped together. Although they are often found together, these two types of bank accounts are different products.
Money market accounts (MMAs) and savings accounts are similar in that both are deposit accounts in which the depositor earns interest on their balance.
In addition, both MMAs and savings accounts can have varying interest rates and varying methods of computing interest.
However, access to funds is more limited with money market accounts, as compared to savings accounts. With MMAs, depositors are often limited as to how often they can withdraw money and how much money they can withdraw at a given time. With savings accounts, access to funds is often unlimited.
When choosing between a money market account and a savings account, take this into consideration. If you are not going to be OK with limited access to funds, a traditional savings account may be the best option.

New old guy from Boston
Took a decade and a half off after having kids. Now that they're grown up and I'm divorced I'm back to playing semi-regularly, gig 2 -3 times a month, once a week rehearsal - gee, just what we always wanted!
Got back into a "regular" playing gig about 3-4 yrs ago, before that in '04 I started a yearly reunion of my old southern rock band from about 1980 which has now grown into a multi-band reunion. It's a blast to see old friends and still be able to rock out before we all croak.
Looks like a great site - nice job.

Netbooks for high school students now up to Portland City Council
PORTLAND — After several hours of discussion, the School Committee last week voted 6-3 for a $1.3 million plan to buy more than 2,100 Dell netbook computers high school students.
The plan also includes buying the nearly 1,200 Apple iBooks now used in the middle schools, which are being replaced by the state, and redistributing them to the city's elementary schools.
The $1.3 million will be partly funded over the next two years by federal grants totaling $725,000. Nearly $465,000 in funding is expected to come from a citywide technology bond, while more than $11,000 will have to be found in next year's budget.
Funding for the plan now hinges on the City Council.
Three committee members said they voted against the initiative because they wanted more time to search for creative solutions to the district's technology deficiency. They also wanted to see if the City Council will actually borrow the money for technology, since a bond was intended for this year, but was delayed because of the economy.
"I think it's a little premature to move forward with this," said committee member Jaimey Caron. "There is no more important thing than to understand where the money is going. At the end of the day, we can't do anything if we don't have the money."
Committee member Kate Snyder, who leads the finance subcommittee, said the district could lose $4 million in state education funding over the next two years. Snyder said updating the district's technology is an important objective, but so is addressing school facility problems, class sizes and curriculum.
"To me, laptops are no more or less important than the other needs," Snyder said.
Committee member Marnie Morrione joined Caron and Synder in voting against the proposal.
While acknowledging the district's financial difficulties, committee member Justin Costa urged support for the proposal, saying if the committee doesn't act now, it may not act in the future.
"I think this is one of the most important things we could possibly do," Costa said. "If we don't do it now, we won't be able to do it with $4 million less."
Superintendent James C. Morse Sr. proposed the netbook plan after the district failed to get a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education that would have allowed Portland to participate in the Maine Laptop Initiative, which would have bought Apple MacBooks at a cost of $2.3 million.
Morse said the district needs to think of technology as an on-going capital expense. There are computers in the district that are more than a decade old, he said.
"We need to think about technology like (we think about) buses; it's a recurring cost," Morse said. "You have to anticipate those costs and this is the beginning of that process."
School technology coordinator Joseph Makley said that, even though the district is not buying into the state initiative, the state will cover the $100,000 cost of installing wireless technology at Portland, Deering, Casco Bay and Portland Arts and Technology high schools. Also, staff will be able to participate in state training seminars at no cost.
Morse said the district must wait until the City Council approves its capital budget later this month before the computers can be purchased. After that, Makley said the computers will gradually be introduced into the classroom.

More organic produce coming to Rockville
- Photo: Tony Crider/flickr
Ellwood Thompson's, the Richmond-based independent grocery company, has signed a lease to set up shop in Rockville. The organic grocer, which will operate under the name "Dawson's Market" in Maryland, is set to open at Beall Avenue and North Washington Street next spring.
Ellwood Thompson's focuses on local sourcing for produce, products, and business needs—they even have their business cards printed in town. The grocer defines "local" as "within 100 miles" of the store, a far stricter definition than most of its competitors. The company is so obsessed with local, it once changed its store name from Ellwood Thompson's Natural Market to Ellwood Thompson's Local Market. Rockville residents will be able to enjoy a variety of groceries, prepared foods, and a hot bar fancy enough to rival Whole Foods.

Angels & Demons
Beautiful to see in re-creation
By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"
"And the Vatican didn't like that. So the church began to, how did you say it? Oh, hunt them down and kill them." Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks)
For a fallen down Catholic boy like me, any time the Church is depicted as manipulative now and downright bloody then (a few centuries ago) confirms my suspicions that it is a business and a brand just like any other multinational corporation. Angels & Demons shows a troubled contemporary Vatican reaching out to its Da Vinci Code antagonist, Harvard professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), to solve the mystery and murders associated with an ancient and violent antagonist of the church, The Illuminati, which appears to be revived after ages of obscurity.
Given that director Ron Howard was barred from filming in the Vatican, including St. Peter's Square, the production is stunning, an evocation of its baroque grandeur beautiful to see in re-creation. While the serpentine story speeds from church to church to track murders before they happen, Langdon acquires an attractive scientist partner, Dr. Ayelet Zuhrer (Vittoria Vetra), with whom he is intimately involved in solving the crime but not in salving the audience's wound of disappointment for lack of romantic adventure.
I applaud the director for allowing the order of the day, stopping murders, to trump the audience's romantic expectations, a distracting Hollywood tradition that needs to die in the face of contemporary sophistication about sexuality and liberation.
Although Angels and Demons touches on such religious chestnuts as the struggle between good and evil, it does a credible job tackling the longstanding feud between science and faith, with science and its antimatter discovery threatening half of Rome. But the film doesn't go too far with the debate because it is first of all entertainment with just enough intellectual stimulation to satisfy any stimulus bill around.

MTV caught up with Kevin Williamson to discuss one of his many projects. The busy writer talked about his update of Curtis Hanson's The Bedroom Window (which he is slated to make between Scream 4 and 5). The original The Bedroom Window was based on the book The Witnesses by Anne Holden. In Williamson's version, a man is sleeping with his boss's wife. One night after a little bump and grind, she witnesses a murder outside his bedroom window. Because their relationship has to be kept on low, the man steps in and acts as a witness to the murder. Soon the killer is on his tail. Sounds sexy and suspenseful but there's only one man who can handle this kind of drama. Paging R. Kelly. (MTV)

The newly-promoted Tigers could hardly have been given a tougher start to their season - a trip to take on Jose Mourinho's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Bruce is not fazed, insisting such daunting tasks are the reason every club wants to be in the top-flight - the chance to have a crack at the giants of English football.
And Bruce says the squad could not be more excited: "One of my coaching staff said to me there's been a real crackle around the place all week.
"It's been a long pre-season and I'm delighted it's out of the road. I hated pre-season as a player and I hate it even more as a manager.
"The real ball comes out now and you'll be able to smell the hot dogs on Sunday, as one of my old coaches used to say.
"We know what we are up against and we couldn't have wished for a more difficult game, but that's why we're in the Premier League. It's for days like this - to play at Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal. It'll be huge, it's been sold out for weeks and the return of Jose adds a bit to it.
"The important thing is we enjoy the challenge ahead. The one thing we won't be is petrified of it. It's a big occasion and there's more excitement around the place than trepidation.
"You can quite easily go two months without a victory in this league," he added.
"You can have six or eight games where you find it very difficult and I hope the experience I have had over the last 10 or 11 years will stand us in good stead.
"Make no mistake, there will be some disappointing Saturday evenings this season but I think we need to win 10 games.
"That has got to be our aim, win 10 games and maybe that is enough to keep us up because you are going to get five or six draws along the way. It sounds easy but as we know it's very difficult."

Full detailed profile on Dr. Angie Baxter Hubbard Played by Debbi Morgan on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Debbi Morgan (ABC.com)
Birthday: September 20, 1956
At home, Jesse thinks Cassandra missed her flight. Angie returns and thinks Joe Martin is her surprise when he comes for a visit. Angie thanks Jessie before he leaves. Joe and Angie discuss their personal tragedies. Angie is disappointed about losing the baby and that Jesse lied to her about it. They discuss Opal and Petey. Angie thinks it would be helpful for Joe to see Dixie.
Angie wakes to Jesse's breakfast surprise. She knows what he's trying to do. He asks if it's working and scoops her up in an embrace for a kiss. She misses Lucy. He reminds her Lucy only moved to Portland. Alone Jesse leaves Cassandra a message about their surprise. Jesse tries to call again later. Somewhere a ringing cell phone is deliberately smashed underfoot. Jesse calls someone else to inquire if they are almost there and asks, "What do you mean she didn't show?"
At the station, Cara and Angie plead David's case to Jesse. Cara tells him second chances are important, especially after David brought loved ones back. Jesse isn't going for it, but Liza shows up and relays that Stuart called his friend the judge to get David out on bail. David shares a nice moment with Angie, who sings his praises about bringing Stuart back. Jesse joins in to give a stunned David credit.
Everyone gathers at the Chandler mansion. Even Jamie returns because he's worried about JR. Angie notices that Randi is glowing. She admits to her husband, Jesse, and Angie that she might be pregnant. Meanwhile, Zach and Griffin attempt niceties as Kendall intervenes to say she's glad David is out of their lives. David shows up looking for Adam. JR lurks in the secret tunnel, as Erica and Opal show up and see Jack talking to Krystal. JR pulls out his gun as Adam and the room toast to Pine Valley. Erica asks to talk to Jack alone, as David finds Adam. David is snarky, as Adam doesn't know how to thank him. David says cash is always a good start. Adam wonders what he's up to, but gives him money anyway. Bianca and Marissa show up after getting a text message. They think it was from Scott, but he denies it.
Adam and Brooke race to the hospital. They got a call about a family member being brought in and fear it's JR. Adam pushes by Cara and sees Stuart on the gurney. As Griffin tries to save Stuart's life, David tells Adam he needs to wait in the hall. Tad shows up and learns from Cara that Stuart is alive thanks to David. They debate David's actions, but Cara tells Tad David has given her a new life too – she's pregnant. Tad thinks she will be an incredible mother. As David and Griffin fight to save Stuart, Angie brings Adam into the room because Stuart needs the other half of his heart. Adam holds his brother's hand and tells him he loves him and needs him. He begs Stuart to come back to him. Stuart opens his eyes and sees Adam. Adam cries and tells Stuart he is home again, where he belongs. Scott and Madison show up and Scott walks in to see his father. He holds Stuart's hand, as Jesse is forced to bring David back to jail. Adam goes back to Stuart and tells him he was the one who shot him. He knows he doesn't deserve his forgiveness. Stuart says there is nothing to forgive.
Griffin meets with David in the interrogation room. Griffin says the drugs aren't working on the patient and he doesn't know what to do. David can't tell him because he needs to see for himself what's going on. David summons Angie and asks her to convince Jesse to release him so he can save his patient. Jesse wants to know who the patient is first. David tells him, but Jesse doesn't believe him because there was a police investigation and coroner's report. Angie appeals to Jesse to help save a life.
Jesse cries at home when he learns Angie can see. He wants to call her doctor, but she just wants to be happy that the first thing she is seeing is him. Angie looks at the crib and says everything of Lucy's seems larger than life. She tells him she wants to see David and Jesse offers to drive her.
Angie visits David in the interrogation room and reveals that he made her see again. David is thrilled and thanks her for sharing her news. He then tells her he gave Griffin the name of the patient he wants him to help and bring back. Angie is relieved to hear it.
When Jesse returns home, Angie tells him that after seeing the pain in his face today, she realized how selfish she's been by not letting them grieve together. All she could do is think of herself, but she now sees that it was his love that made all the decision he made. She thanks him for that. As they kiss and get cozy on the couch, Maya stops by with Lucy. Angie is overjoyed to actually see the both of them. Angie holds Lucy as Maya indicates that things aren't great with Liza, so Angie invites them to come back. Frankie, Randi, Brot and Natalia enter and Angie cries as she hugs each one of them. Natalia asks Angie to help her pick out wedding invitations and Brot hands them a bottle of champagne to continue the celebration. They toast to their family, which is filled with love.
Angie briefly sees the light at home, but it passes. She tells Frankie not to tell Jesse because it might never come back. Jesse returns home and Frankie leaves. Jesse asks how Angie's visit with David went. She notes that David seemed a bit defeated and feels badly for all the loss he's suffered. She understands why he's the man he is, calling him a tortured soul. Jesse calls him an accessory to murder. Angie knows the evil Hayward is capable of, but she also knows he's saved a lot of lives. She wants his other patients to be reunited with their families and urges Jesse not to put David in prison so they have that chance. Angie notes how quiet it is without Lucy. She feels it in her bones and fears it will crush her. Jesse will do whatever he can to help her through this, but she needs to find her own way. As Jesse packs up Lucy's crib, Angie's sight returns. She walks over to Jesse and tells him she can see that he's crying, which makes him cry harder.

text: Deliciously Demure is a medium brown with just a hint of rosy pink in it along with multi-colored shimmer–the shimmer is very fine. It adds mostly shimmer to my lips, but it does darken and enhance the natural color and the overall effect is mostly opaque coverage. This shade lasted three hours on me. It is extremely similar to Bobbi Brown Bronzed Heather, actually. Revlon Rosegold is warmer, more coral. MAC Blessedly Rich is darker, more orange. MAC Social Light is also similar. MAC Explicit is cooler-toned, less shimmery.

Up to [DragonFly] / src / sys / bus / usb
Request diff between arbitrary revisions
Keyword substitution: kv
Default branch: MAIN
Minimal (relatively) patch to make my Nokia 9300 smartphone which uses union descriptors, work in DF. Obtained-from: NetBSD with modifications
Remove last usb_port.h defines usages from the tree - selwakeuppri(), config_pending_*(), config_detach(), clalloc(), clfree(), usb_malloc_type and usb_proc_ptr. Move some defines to bus/usb/usb.h and remove bus/usb/usb_port.h include from there. Drivers that want to use portability macros have to include <bus/usb/usb_port.h> directly.
Nuke SIMPLEQ_* and logprintf.
Nuke device_ptr_t, USBBASEDEVICE, USBDEVNAME(), USBDEVUNIT(), USBGETSOFTC(), USBDEVPTRNAME() and Static with help from sed(1).
Nuke the code specific to NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD at first. I doubt anyone will update these pieces and I don't intend to review macros for all platforms. There is the chance though that I might kill something which should stay in the code in form "TODO: port it to DF". So, please review and kick me.
Rename printf -> kprintf in sys/ and add some defines where necessary (files which are used in userland, too).
Sync USB support (host controller part) with FreeBSD6. Following changes on FreeBSD-CURRENT(by email@example.com) are merged: ehci.c rev 1.52 ohci.c rev 1.167 uhci.c rev 1.172 usb.c rev 1.111 usbdi.h rev 1.61 "Use a different task queue for host controller and peripheral driver tasks. Since the host controllers rely on tasks to process transfer timeouts, if a synchronous transfer from a driver was invoked from a task and timed out, it would never complete because the single task thread was stuck performing the synchronous transfer so couldn't process the timeout." As of this commit, only following kernel APIs are changed: - usbd_get_string_desc() takes one more argument which returns the actual size of the string description. - usb_add_task() takes one more argument. The extra arguemnt is used to specify to which task queue the task should be added. There is two task queues defined, one for peripheral driver (USB_TASKQ_DRIVER), one for host controller (USB_TASKQ_HC). ugen(4) is adapted according to the above kernel API changes. Thank all of the folks for their work on the USB support. Tested-by: swildner@, vbd@, joerg@(1.6 backport), Max Herrgard <firstname.lastname@example.com> # Though VT6202 is supported by ehci(4), I still have problems with this # chip, even with the updated ehci(4).
Rename malloc->kmalloc, free->kfree, and realloc->krealloc. Pass 1
Remove spl*() calls from the bus/ infrastructure, replacing them with critical sections. Remove splusb() from everywhere, replacing it with critical sections.
Use M_INTWAIT and M_WAITOK instead of M_NOWAIT within the USB bus infrastructure. For the system to operate as expected, allocations done in this layer have to be reliable.
Add defined(__FreeBSD__) and defined(__DragonFly__) where appropriate
Bring in the entire FreeBSD-5 USB infrastructure. As of this commit my USB camera, Hard Drive, Mouse, and Sony memory key all work and I can even unplug and replug them in without crashing the port. Not all drivers and subsystems compile as of this commit, but the ones that do not are very close.
kernel tree reorganization stage 1: Major cvs repository work (not logged as commits) plus a major reworking of the #include's to accomodate the relocations. * CVS repository files manually moved. Old directories left intact and empty (temporary). * Reorganize all filesystems into vfs/, most devices into dev/, sub-divide devices by function. * Begin to move device-specific architecture files to the device subdirs rather then throwing them all into, e.g. i386/include * Reorganize files related to system busses, placing the related code in a new bus/ directory. Also move cam to bus/cam though this may not have been the best idea in retrospect. * Reorganize emulation code and place it in a new emulation/ directory. * Remove the -I- compiler option in order to allow #include file localization, rename all config generated X.h files to use_X.h to clean up the conflicts. * Remove /usr/src/include (or /usr/include) dependancies during the kernel build, beyond what is normally needed to compile helper programs. * Make config create 'machine' softlinks for architecture specific directories outside of the standard <arch>/include. * Bump the config rev. WARNING! after this commit /usr/include and /usr/src/sys/compile/* should be regenerated from scratch.
Remove the priority part of the priority|flags argument to tsleep(). Only flags are passed now. The priority was a user scheduler thingy that is not used by the LWKT subsystem. For process statistics assume sleeps without P_SINTR set to be disk-waits, and sleeps with it set to be normal sleeps. This commit should not contain any operational changes.
Add the DragonFly cvs id and perform general cleanups on cvs/rcs/sccs ids. Most ids have been removed from !lint sections and moved into comment sections.
