If Android is Linux, OS/X has to be BSD. Unfortunately, for the Linux fecktards, that is not the case. It's just a generic little multi-tasking kernel that's free to use that Google just picked up for use beneath its Android. If BSD were used in place of Linux in Android, Android would still look exactly the same to its developers.
Unlike the BSD developers that don't need Apple's success to pad their resumes, the Linux beggar boys see no harm in stealing credit for Android. Code, ideas, credit - everything is fair game for the open sores fecktards. Google is not in the glory business - all they care about is their little spyware that they can use to sneak in some ads before your eyeballs. This is why Google doesn't object to the Loons' thievery.
What a great post I have made only a few weeks ago!
It became relevant again now!
Project started Feb 17, 2000. MSFT free! From crashing MSFT to Stable Mandrake Linux. No, we will never knock down MSFT.... Oops!
Now the newest project, take solar and knock off coal, Oil, Nat gas, nuclear etc etc etc.......
Linux,Android,BSD,IOS,OSX we are winning! Joy joy joy! It's only been 14 years!
Well, well. What do we have here? Are you into organic food and other fads too?
P.S. Linux is a wannabe OS and is widely known as a joke. Windows is the standard operating system for the world.
Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, that uses the Linux kernel as an insignificant and commodity piece. Linux kernel plays the role of a generic multi-tasking OS kernel well underneath Android.
When you write for Android, you write to the well-defined APIs of Android. You don't write to the clusterfeck Linux's interfaces. Google not only defines Android's APIs, it's responsible for keeping them stable. Many companies develop for Android but will *never* touch Linux. (Did I mention Linux is a clusterfeck? *snicker*)
The shameless Linux Loons try to piggyback on Google's relative success by terminology such as "Linux-based". But what's so great about being a worthless commodity piece in a larger project? BSD is a commodity piece under OS/X too. The fact that the Linux loontards copied Google's changes back into their kernel has no bearing on the status of Linux kernel in Android - it continues to be a worthless generic piece well underneath.
As they say in India, there's nothing more desperate than a Linux loontard thief! LOL!
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel that is currently developed by Google. With a user interface based on direct manipulation, Android is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, with specialized user interfaces for televisions (Android TV), cars (Android Auto), and wrist watches (Android Wear). The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard. Despite being primarily designed for touchscreen input, it also has been used in game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
As of 2011, Android has the largest installed base of any mobile OS and as of 2013, its devices also sell more than Windows, iOS, and Mac OS devices combined.[14][15][16][17] As of July 2013 the Google Play store has had over 1 million Android apps published, and over 50 billion apps downloaded.[18] A developer survey conducted in April–May 2013 found that 71% of mobile developers develop for Android.[19] At Google I/O 2014, the company revealed that there were over 1 billion active monthly Android users (that have been active for 30 days), up from 538 million in June 2013.[20]
Android's source code is released by Google under open source licenses, although most Android devices ultimately ship with a combination of open source and proprietary software.[3] Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in 2005,[21] Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance—a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.[22]
Android is popular with technology companies which require a ready-made, low-cost and customizable operating system for high-tech devices.[23] Android's open nature has encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new features for advanced users[24] or bring Android to devices which were officially released running other operating systems. The operating system's success has made it a target for patent litigation as part of the so-called "smartphone wars" between technology companies.[25][26]
Patrick Brady is Google's Director of Android Development. He quelled Linux Loons' nonsensical claims and confirmed emphatically that Android is not Linux.
Linux kernel is nothing but a commodity and insignificant piece under Android. Loons' copying of Google's Linux kernel changes doesn't change the fact that Linux kernel has little to do with Android.
DisposableTard is a liar. Android is not Linux. Not even close. God, what a joke the Linux thieves are!!
Brady is absolutely correct. Android is not Linux. Not by a long shot. The analogy with OS/X - BSD situation is perfectly applicable. Loons' copying kernel changes back makes little difference. Linux kernel is still an insignificant piece of Android. You don't find BSD folks bragging about their kernel being used in OS/X - a multi-tasking OS kernel is nothing to write home about in this day and age.
Linux loontards are thieves and liars. Unfortunately for the little feckers, no amount of lying helps their cause. Android continues to be Google's work and Google's accomplishment (such as it is).
If Brady said that, he is off base. Android is indeed Linux.
LOL! DisposableTard is obsessed with people's members!
What sick little fecker he is!
And he is the Linux ambassador around here! Represent, bum!
Yeah pretakesitupthetailpipe is quite a piece of work,apparently he likes to hangout in men's toilets & look at appendages.

DisposableTard seems to be blocked by Yahoo yet again.
The subject of Indians and weiners seems to have excited the goon so much that he must have started unleashing obscenities in his posts. Yahoo must have decided to block the fecker.
We urge the Utah Indian to pay disposableTard a visit, and use his weiner to teach the disposableTard some manners. ROFL!
Block this, troll boy.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
DisposableTard appears to be blocked by Yahoo from posting.
ROFLMAO! God, what a loser!
Looks like the little fecker's ID was put on hold for a period of time. Now he is out of the jail house again.
When people write for Android, they write to Android's APIs, which consist entirely of Google's design and work. The fact that a commodity piece well underneath Android is the (modified) Linux kernel means nothing to anybody except the Linux fecktards.
Google realized the Linux loontards' dastardly attempts to steal credit, and promptly clarified that Android is not Linux. The engineer that came out against the Loontards is Director of Android Development at Google.
God, what a joke the Linux fecktards became!
Even Yahoo is getting tired of that Troll's garbage hate posts,about time good riddance !
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Le bump?
Yeah, le bump.
Do the Loon lies suddenly turn Linux kernel into anything other than an insignificant part of Android? Nope!
Does the Loons' copying of Google's code back into their own kernel change anything? Nope. It's still the same old kernel & same old commodity shet that nobody other than the Loons cares about.
Does this code copying suddenly make the Linux "distros" any more successful on the desktop? Not a chance! They will continue to suck the big one. *snicker*
Is Linux anymore "in mobile" after the Loons' code-copying? Nope.
Is the disposableTard an uneducated little peasant? Why yes! *snicker*
"Do the Loon lies suddenly turn Linux kernel into anything other than an insignificant part of Android?"
No they don't. The Google engineers are already on record that Android is most definitely not Linux. The illiterate little Linux fecktard SJVN may claim the Google engineers are wrong, but that doesn't make it so. *snicker*
Torvalds is like, "let me make this generic commodity little shet of a multi-tasking OS kernel, and wait for somebody to use it as a trivial, insignificant little piece in a successful project." LOL!
God, what a joke the Linux Loons are!
"Is Linux anymore "in mobile" after the Loons' code-copying? Nope. "
Don't say that! How can you be so cruel? Torvalds & Co watched as Google engineers dissed Linux, openly laughed at it, and declared Android is definitely not Linux. This is the Loons' one chance to make Linux 'legit' by copying Google's code back in.
Code-copying is pretty much the only thing the bums can do. Design? Nope. Planning? Nope. Testing? May be a little bit. Patching? Heck yes! LOL!
"Does the Loons' copying of Google's code back into their own kernel change anything?"
This is a desperate move, even for Linux fecktards. I think Torvalds is looking to salvage something out of Linux - God knows he spent enough years on that shet.
People have to be really desperate if they want 'credit' for a generic multi-tasking OS kernel.
God, what a joke Linux is! LOL!

I'm curious as to what folks think about this:
I have a Trek 7.4 FX, where the saddle, when at its "ideal height", is about 3/4 of an inch below the level of the handlebars. I also have bar ends.
So, are there any advantages to taking out 1 spacer from the head set, thereby lowering the handlebar height? I thought I heard a really good bike mechanic say something about having more stability?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
Best regards

A U.S.airstrike in northwest Pakistan is believed to have killed a front-line leader of al-Qaida, anti-terror officials said this week, continuing an aerial barrage that has angered a key American ally but is thought to have hurt the network's operations.
KABUL, Afghanistan — A U.S airstrike in northwest Pakistan is believed to have killed a front-line leader of al-Qaida, anti-terror officials said this week, continuing an aerial barrage that has angered a key American ally but is thought to have hurt the network's operations.
Intelligence indicates that a missile apparently fired from a U.S. Predator drone killed Khaled Habib, a veteran Egyptian militant who became a leader this year of the "external operations" core based in South Asia but targeting the West, a senior European anti-terror official said Thursday.
Habib apparently died in a vehicle that was blown up in the attack Oct. 16 in the village of Saam, a hub of foreign militants protected by tribesmen loyal to a Taliban chief in South Waziristan, according to the senior official.
As with other al-Qaida bosses thought to have been slain by U.S. airstrikes in Pakistan this year, confirmation of Habib's demise remains difficult, but "we have good reason to believe he is dead," the senior European anti-terror official said.

U.S. anti-terror forces have set their sights on a key second-tier of leaders who run day-to-day operations for the fugitive Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Previous operational chiefs slain this year included Abu Laith al-Libi, a top Libyan. Anti-terrorism officials also believe that a strike in July killed Midhat Mursi al Sayid Umar, an Egyptian explosives expert. At least 15 suspected Predator strikes have taken place since early August, more than three times the year's total up until then.
As the pace of the raids has accelerated, they have become very delicate for Pakistan's 7-month-old civilian government. On Wednesday, Pakistani leaders summoned U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson to demand a halt to airstrikes, saying they were a violation of Pakistani sovereignty. Nonetheless, the aerial onslaught appears to have kept the predominantly Arab al-Qaida core on the run. Residents in North and South Waziristan say militants in recent weeks have avoided mosques and religious schools that have been prime targets.
In 2005, bin Laden appointed Habib commander of military operations in Afghanistan, according to the official and Rohan Gunaratna, a Singapore-based terror expert. A close friend of Zawahiri, Habib was considered an "able commander," but seen as "more of an introvert" and "much less inspiring" than more powerful chiefs who have since been killed or captured, said Gunaratna.
In 2006, Habib played a role in talks with tribesmen in the region to ensure a refuge for al-Qaida, according to Gunaratna. The network operates in the part of South Waziristan where he operated with the protection of Baitullah Mehsud, a prominent Taliban chief and top al-Qaida ally, officials say.
In addition to the high-ranking casualties, American and Pakistani pressure appears to have slowed al-Qaida's prolific propaganda and communications activities on the Internet, the senior European official said. Anti-terror experts are waiting to see whether bin Laden issues a video before Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, as he did before Americans voted in 2004.

Recounts in three close races for the North Carolina state House are complete, with no change in the outcomes from Election Day.
Cumberland elections director Terri Robertson said Thursday recounts completed late Wednesday show Democratic Rep. Rick Glazier leading Republican Jackie Warner by 46 votes, while Democratic Rep. Diane Parfitt leads GOP challenger Johnny Dawkins by 108 votes.
Warner filed a request for a new election because she said there were irregularities in ballot tallies and problems with electronic voting machines. The county board will hear the protest Monday.
A Rowan County recount also gave Republican Harry Walker a 166-vote victory over Democratic incumbent Lorene Coates.
Should the results stand, Republicans will have a 68-52 majority in the House come January.

Next week (May 18-20), The Council of State Governments will host a group of 10 state legislators from around the country at the 6th Annual CSG Transportation Leaders Policy Academy in Washington, D.C. As part of the academy, attendees will take part in activities around Infrastructure Week, a national week of events, media coverage, and education and advocacy efforts to elevate infrastructure as a critical issue. I have more about the academy and Infrastructure Week below as well as details about another key event CSG is involved with happening next month.
During a recent CSG eCademy webcast, "States to Watch in 2016: Transportation Funding," transportation policy experts made some predictions about upcoming transportation funding issues, and possible solutions, in the states. Joe McAndrew, policy director at Transportation for America, said 23 states have approved plans to raise transportation revenue since 2012. In 2015, eight states passed gas tax increases while other states considered tolling changes and other revenue options. But, according to McAndrew and other presenters, 2016 could be a slow year for major transportation funding initiatives.
Facing continuing uncertainty with regards to federal funding, Tennessee and other states have postponed millions of dollars in transportation projects. But even as a gas tax increase has become a political third rail in Washington, many states have turned to the venerable transportation revenue mechanism this year to advance their transportation programs. This session highlighted both the impact of federal uncertainty and the successes of those states that passed gas tax increases in 2015.
With just hours to spare before the Midnight expiration of road and transit spending, President Obama Friday signed the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, a five-year, $305 billion bill paid for with a combination of existing gas tax revenue and $70 billion in offsets from other areas of the federal budget. It calls for spending about $225 billion on highways and $61 billion on transit projects over the next five years. The legislation is the first transportation funding bill lasting longer than two years that Congress has passed since 2005 and delivers some degree of long-term certainty to state transportation officials around the country who have struggled to keep transportation investment afloat through years of mostly short-term extensions. Despite delivering that certainty and a variety of important policy tweaks, there is still plenty to be concerned about for the future of the federal transportation program and the discussion about the next bill has already begun.
As I wrote last week, Tuesday was a big Election Day for transportation in a number of places around the country. Statewide ballot measures, for example, won approval in Maine and Texas and local measures were approved in Seattle, two Colorado towns and a handful of Utah counties. But it wasn't just at the ballot box that transportation was a focus of policy decisions. The U.S. House of Representatives worked their way toward passage of a long-term transportation bill. And Michigan lawmakers approved a long-in-the-works, $1.2 billion road funding bill that includes the eighth gas tax increase approved by a state this year. Here's a roundup of transportation-related election results and updates on some of this week's other key transportation developments.
The city of Denver and state of Colorado have seen their share of transportation successes in recent years thanks in large measure to regional cooperation, federal investment, a 2004 tax increase, partnerships with the private sector and some innovative thinking. But the city and state face numerous challenges in the years ahead that will severely test the transportation system, notably a burgeoning population, stagnant federal investment and limits to increasing taxes at the state level. Those were some of the messages state and local officials delivered to a group of state legislators from eight states at the CSG West Transportation Forum last month in Denver.
Eight state legislators from around the country, many of them transportation committee chairs or vice chairs in their respective states, attended the 5th Annual CSG Transportation Leaders Policy Academy May 11-13, 2015 in Washington, D.C. The academy, which took place during Infrastructure Week, included a tour of transportation projects in Northern Virginia, a keynote address by Maryland Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn, a luncheon at the D.C. office of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), a standing-room-only briefing for Capitol Hill staffers on the importance of continuing federal transportation investment to state and local officials, a conversation with officials at the U.S. Department of Transportation, a dinner with representatives of two of the largest transportation-related membership associations—the American Road & Transportation Builders Association and the American Public Transportation Association and a briefing on the status of state exploration of mileage-based user fees. Attendees also took part in a transportation policy roundtable with representatives of ASCE, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Transportation for America, the Eno Center for Transportation, the American Trucking Associations and UPS. Finally, the legislators were able to take part in Infrastructure Week activities including Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. This page includes photos from the three-day academy, the complete agenda for the event and links to web pages where you can read extended excerpts of remarks from many of the speakers.
A bipartisan group of senators this week introduced a six-year transportation authorization bill that proposes to increase highway spending by almost 13 percent and spread more than $2 billion a year among states to invest in freight facility improvements. But with a July 31 deadline fast approaching, Congress is still at a loss when it comes to how they might pay for such a bill.
James Corless is the Director of Transportation for America (T4America). Jeff Davis and Emil Frankel are Senior Fellows at the Eno Center for Transportation. All three were panelists at a May 12 transportation policy roundtable as part of the 2015 CSG Transportation Policy Academy. In these excerpted portions of their remarks to state legislators attending the academy, they discuss the past, present and future of the federal-state-local partnership on transportation.
Janet Kavinoky is the Executive Director for Transportation and Infrastructure at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, DC and Vice President of the Americans for Transportation Mobility Coalition. Pat Thomas is Vice President of Global Public Affairs for UPS and currently serves as First Vice Chairman at the American Trucking Associations. Both were speakers at a transportation policy roundtable May 12 in Washington as part of the 2015 CSG Transportation Policy Academy. In these excerpted portions of their remarks to state legislators attending the academy, they spoke about why both of their organizations support a federal gas tax increase, why Congress hasn't been able to reach agreement on a plan to meet the nation's infrastructure investment needs, what it may take to convince them to do so and how predicted changes ahead for freight transportation makes a national focus on the issue imperative.

Mary Berry's back to basics plan: Teach all children 10 full meals
David Platt was revealed to be the father of wife Kylie's baby Lily in the culmination of a long-running paternity storyline in Coronation Street.
In a special double episode on Sunday night, David was shown confirming he was the father when he received the DNA test results. His half-brother Nick was a potential father after a one-night stand with Kylie.
David read the test results to his his ex Tina: "Based on the DNA analysis, the alleged father Mr David Platt cannot be excluded as the father of the child Lily Platt. This constitutes a positive result. The man we have tested is the biological father of the tested child."
David raced to the hospital to reveal the results to Nick, the man recovering from a car accident deliberately caused by David.
Far from ending the brothers' animosity, the revelation is set to produce more drama as the family gathers for Lily's Christening later this week.

Back to 2011 Economic Forecast Breakfast home page.
Bankers and their customers will not forget the past few years.
In 2009 and 2010, we saw the demise of some 300 banks across the U.S., including 21 banks in the Pacific Northwest. Another 200 banks could fail nationwide in the next few years.
It would seem, though, we are through the worst of it. Surviving banks will have stronger capital levels and better risk management. Bankers should also, however, have a palpable fear of the kinds of risk that will eventually take down more than 500 banks. This will affect the decisions made by bankers and bank regulators for years to come.
Generally, we would expect credit to remain tight, or difficult to obtain, particularly for real estate-based borrowing.
However, what we noted last year is still true: A business that generates cash and doesn't rely upon the real estate markets is a desirable customer for all business banks. Liquidity, capital, and revenue are still the medicine for what ails most companies, and individuals, in this economy — and that especially includes banks.
Tighter underwriting
Here in Clark County and the Portland region, the public and many banks have suffered from the risks inherent in real estate-based financing. In response to the economic downturn, commercial real estate loan underwriting has tightened, and will continue to be tight compared to the standards used prior to 2009.
Loan to value limits are lower (tighter) and less relevant, because determining real market value is difficult, given the lack of comparable property sales. Debt service coverage ratios and required cash flows are higher (also tighter) and much more relevant, since periodic cash flows, such as rents, are readily verifiable.
Banks want to make sure that the enterprise, or property, can generate cash sufficient to make the debt service payments without having to sell the underlying real estate collateral.
In today's uncertain economic environment, as in the past two years, cash-flow requirements are higher than they have been historically, because it is hard forecast how they will fluctuate. For example, in 2008, periodic cash flow requirements might have been 1.1 to 1.2 times the debt service (principal plus interest payments). For 2010 and likely 2011, the required cash flows will be closer to 1.3 to 1.4 times debt service.
Low-risk appetite
Banks are typically requiring payment guarantees from business partners, spouses, or other debtors.
Pay-downs or amortization requirements are more stringent, typically using 25 year amortization schedules, with 10-year payoffs. As recently as 2008, 30-year amortizations would suffice.
Vacancy rates have increased and, even with reduced lease rates and terms, property owners find it hard to locate and retain tenants who can pay. Thus, with reduced net operating incomes and higher capitalization rates, virtually all property valuations are lower, as is the associated return on investment to the current borrower or property owner.
All of these "tighter" terms have the effect of requiring a greater cash-flow cushion. More cash flow equals less risk, and banks don't have much appetite for increased risk. This is the story as we enter 2011.
More pain is likely to occur. Relief will take time. We can and will pull out of this eventually, but it will be a slow climb out.

Lincoln Man Sentenced for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine
|U.S. Attorney's Office April 10, 2013
United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that on April 10, 2013, Ramiro Martinez Osuna, 33, of Lincoln, was sentenced to 87 months in prison for being in possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. Following the prison term, Martinez Osuna will serve four years on supervised release. In addition to his prison sentence, Martinez Osuna was ordered to pay $4,800 in restitution to the Lincoln Police Department.
In March and April 2011 and April 2012, Martinez Osuna delivered methamphetamine to Lincoln Police investigators on six occasions. In May, 2012, a Lincoln Police Department investigator arranged for another purchase of methamphetamine. When Martinez Osuna arrived at the Super Saver parking lot at 27th & Cornhusker Highway, where the transaction was to occur, Martinez Osuna was arrested. In his possession was two ounces of methamphetamine, which was over 95 percent pure.
The matter was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force, which includes officers of the Lincoln Police Department, the Lancaster County Sheriff's Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department.

Sophomore Chaewon Park (left) was named Al-Big West Honorable Mention. (Photo by Cameron Fujimoto/LBSU)
May 2, 2013
IRVINE, Calif. - Three Long Beach State women's golfers were named to the All-Big West Conference team, the league office announced on Wednesday.
Senior Simone Hoey and freshman Shawnee Martinez were named second-team, while sophomore Chaewon Parkwas named honorable mention. This is the fourth consecutive year Hoey has been named to All-Big West, while this is Martinez' and Park's first.
LBSU closed out the season last week at the Big West Conference Women's Golf Championship at the San Luis Obispo Country Club, tying for fourth place at 60-over-par 924.
The 49ers finished (12 shots) ahead of third-place UC Irvine for the third consecutive tournament and won two crucial points in the Black & Blue Rivalry Series between LBSU and UCI. LBSU also finished ahead of tournament host Cal Poly (6th) by 40 strokes to gain some points in the Big West Conference Commissioner's Cup race as the first-place Mustangs holds a slim lead over the 49ers in second.
Hoey closed out a four-year career in San Luis Obispo as she tied for 17th at 15-over 234, collecting her sixth career top-20 finish. Hoey closes out the season with her second career tournament win at Fresno State Lexus Classic and was the top player at the Black & Blue Rivalry Match vs. UCI. The native from Rancho Cucamonga finishes the season with a scoring average of 76.9 and recorded four top-10's this year.
Martinez posted her second top-10 finish this season as she tied for seventh at the Big West Championship at 8-over. The Modesto native led the team this season with a scoring average of 76.8 and recorded one top-20.
Park was the top player for the 49ers at the Big West Championship, sharing fifth-place honors (+7). The native from San Pedro recorded three top-10 finishes this year and one top-20 with an average of 77.4.

British gamers with an urge to play Manhunt 2 will now have their chance.
As reported by The Guardian, a ban placed on Rockstar's gory sequel last summer has been lifted by the Video Appeals Committee (VAC). The game was originally refused classification – essentially, banned – by the British Board of Film and Literature Classification on June 19th of last year. At the same time, the ESRB slapped an Adults Only rating on Manhunt 2, negating its viability as a commercial product in the United States.
In October the BBFC also rejected a toned-down version of the game, although the edited edition was able to gain a M (17 and older) rating from the ESRB for the U.S. market.
In December, Rockstar won its appeal before the VAC, but the BBFC appealed that decision to England's High Court. The Court ruled that the VAC should reconsider the issue. That has now taken place and the VAC's decision means Manhunt 2 can be sold in the U.K. with an 18+ rating. Addressing the decision, a Rockstar statement read in part:
We are pleased that the VAC has reaffirmed its decision recognising that Manhunt 2 is well within the bounds established by other 18+ rated entertainment.
Lawrence Abramson, an attorney who represented Rockstar during the legal proceedings, added:
The [BBFC] system works in films, but the gameplaying experience is different.

Aspects of the present invention relate to the insertion of information. More particularly, aspects of the present invention relate to inserting content into a document or other container.
Typical computer systems, especially computer systems using graphical user interface (GUI) systems, such as Microsoft WINDOWS, are optimized for accepting user input from one or more discrete input devices such as a keyboard for entering text, and a pointing device such as a mouse with one or more buttons for driving the user interface.
Some computing systems have expanded the input and interaction systems available to a user by allowing the use of a stylus to input information into the systems. The stylus may take the place of both the keyboard (for data entry) as well as the mouse (for control). Some computing systems receive handwritten electronic information or electronic ink and immediately attempt to convert the electronic ink into text. Other systems permit the electronic ink to remain in the handwritten form.
Traditional computing applications including word processors, notepads, spreadsheets, and drawing packages, and the like permit, to some extent, the insertion of content into a document or other container. In these situations, the application is controlled by keyboard keys or by a mouse, thereby making control and insertion of content into these applications relatively easy. A problem exists in stylus-based computing systems where there may not be a constant cursor appearing on a screen. This lack of a definite insertion point can be problematic for the insertion of content into a document or other container and an application. This difficulty can range from ambiguity in the system not being able to correctly place content and accordance with the users' desire to not being able to place content in the application at all. Accordingly, a new approach to inserting content that permits one to use a stylus-based computing system and a non stylus-based computing system is needed.
The aspects of the present invention address one or more of the issues described above, thereby providing an easy way for users to insert content into a page and not have to worry about repeatedly correcting the location of the inserted content. In a first aspect of the invention, the location of the content to be inserted is determined by overt actions by the user. In a second aspect of the invention, the location of the content to be inserted is determined by an analysis of the existing content on a page. Yet further aspects of the invention permit a user to determine how the page will respond to the inserted content. The features and other aspects of the invention will become clear in the following description of the drawings.
These and other aspects are addressed in relation to the Figures and related description.
The foregoing summary of aspects of the invention, as well as the following detailed description of various embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are included by way of example, and not by way of limitation with regard to the claimed invention.
Aspects of the present invention relate to inserting content into documents. The term "document" is used generally herein and includes word processing documents, spreadsheets, images files, presentation files, and the like. The systems and methods described herein relate to using at least one of the present location of an insertion point or previous focus or location of a document on a display to determine where to insert content. Also, in some aspects, the selection of content different from the content to be inserted may be used to determine or adjust where the content to be inserted is going to be placed. Aspects of the present invention may be used with a standard personal computer having a mouse and keyboard. Also, aspects of the present invention may be used with a stylus-based computing system (which may or may not have a mouse (or trackball or touch pad) and a keyboard). In a stylus-based system, a user may create electronic ink by using the ink to draw on the screen. The electronic ink may be stored in graphical form or may be stored in other forms. The content as described below may include electronic ink or other content as is known in the art (drawings, text, images, graphics, tables of information, and the like). To assist the user, the following is arranged with the following subheadings: characteristics of ink; terms; general-purpose computer; content insertion locations; and processes for performing content insertion.
Characteristics of Ink
Electronic ink (or ink) refers to a sequence of strokes, where each stroke is comprised of a sequence of points. The points may be represented using a variety of known techniques including Cartesian coordinates (X, Y), polar coordinates (r, Θ), and other techniques as known in the art.
As known to users who use ink pens, physical ink (the kind laid down on paper using a pen with an ink reservoir) may convey more information than a series of coordinates connected by line segments. For example, physical ink can reflect pen pressure (by the thickness of the ink), pen angle (by the shape of the line or curve segments and the behavior of the ink around discreet points), and the speed of the nib of the pen (by the straightness, line width, and line width changes over the course of a line or curve).
To provide the look and feel of physical ink, electronic ink may additionally store ink strokes and properties associated with the ink strokes to more fully render ink. Ink may be stored as a series of strokes and a series of properties. In other situations, ink may be stored with a complex series of properties in which the properties have properties of their own. Properties of the ink may include, for example, color, width, pressure between the stylus and tablet, and angle between the stylus and tablet, and pen shape and the like. While these properties may suffice for many applications, electronic ink is extensible to include custom properties (and other data) generated by additional applications. All strokes and values may be stored directly with excess information. However, alternative versions of ink reflect considerations that eliminate excess information when possible or practicable so as to minimize the physical size of the stored ink.
The properties used to define an ink object and the strokes within the ink object may have varying scope. For example, some properties may apply to all ink strokes in an ink object (e.g., the shape of a pen tip). Other properties may relate only to a specific point (e.g., a point at which a stylus starts a stroke). Others may relate to specific strokes while others may relate to packets of information as reported by hardware (e.g., coordinates, pressure, angle of pen, the intervals of time between reported coordinates, and the like). In short, properties have different levels of scope.
To efficiently store properties, some may be explicitly specified while others may be implicit. In a simple example, all properties may be default properties and not specified in an ink object. So, the ink object may only have X and Y coordinate values. In another example, the ink object may have properties that affect the entire ink object but the properties are specified in the ink object. In a third example, some strokes may have a first set of properties and others have a second set of properties. The properties may be defined initially at the beginning of the ink object and the individual strokes may reference the previously defined properties as needed. Using this approach of defining properties then later referencing the properties promotes a greater efficiency in storing properties. This becomes more apparent as an ink object becomes larger as the number of properties increases and the number of ink strokes referencing the properties increases.
Ink—A sequence or set of strokes with properties. A sequence of strokes may include strokes in an ordered form. The sequence may be ordered by the time captured or by where the strokes appear on a page. Other orders are possible. A set of strokes may includes sequences of strokes or unordered strokes or any combination thereof
Ink object—A data structure storing ink with or without properties.
Stroke—A sequence or set of captured points. For example, when rendered, the sequence of points may be connected with lines. Alternatively, the stroke may be represented as a point and a vector in the direction of the next point. In short, a stroke is intended to encompass any representation of points or segments relating to ink, irrespective of the underlying representation of points and/or what connects the points.
Point—Information defining a location in space. For example, the points may be defined relative to a capturing space (for example, points on a digitizer), a virtual ink space (the coordinates in a space into which captured ink is placed), and/or display space (the points or pixels of a display device).
General-Purpose Computer
A basic input/output system 160 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 100, such as during start-up, is stored in the ROM 140. The computer 100 also includes a hard disk drive 170 for reading from and writing to a hard disk (not shown), a magnetic disk drive 180 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 190, and an optical disk drive 191 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 192 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. The hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk drive 180, and optical disk drive 191 are connected to the system bus 130 by a hard disk drive interface 192, a magnetic disk drive interface 193, and an optical disk drive interface 194, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the personal computer 100. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media that can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may also be used in the example operating environment.
A number of program modules can be stored on the hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk 190, optical disk 192, ROM 140 or RAM 150, including an operating system 195, one or more application programs 196, other program modules 197, and program data 198. A user can enter commands and information into the computer 100 through input devices such as a keyboard 101 and pointing device 102. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 110 through a serial port interface 106 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). Further still, these devices may be coupled directly to the system bus 130 via an appropriate interface (not shown). A monitor 107 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 130 via an interface, such as a video adapter 108. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers. In a one embodiment, a pen digitizer 165 and accompanying pen or stylus 166 are provided in order to digitally capture freehand input. Although a direct connection between the pen digitizer 165 and the serial port interface 106 is shown, in practice, the pen digitizer 165 may be coupled to the processing unit 110 directly, parallel port or other interface and the system bus 130 as known in the art. Furthermore, although the digitizer 165 is shown apart from the monitor 107, the usable input area of the digitizer 165 may be co-extensive with the display area of the monitor 107. Further still, the digitizer 165 may be integrated in the monitor 107, or may exist as a separate device overlaying or otherwise appended to the monitor 107.
The computer 100 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109. The remote computer 109 can be a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 100, although only a memory storage device 111 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 100 is connected to the local network 112 through a network interface or adapter 114. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 100 typically includes a modem 115 or other means for establishing a communications over the wide area network 113, such as the Internet. The modem 115, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 130 via the serial port interface 106. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 100, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device.
It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are illustrative and other techniques for establishing a communications link between the computers can be used. The existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web-based server. Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
The stylus 204 may be equipped with one or more buttons or other features to augment its selection capabilities. In one embodiment, the stylus 204 could be implemented as a "pencil" or "pen", in which one end constitutes a writing portion and the other end constitutes an "eraser" end, and which, when moved across the display, indicates portions of the display are to be erased. Other types of input devices, such as a mouse, trackball, or the like could be used. Additionally, a user's own finger could be the stylus 204 and used for selecting or indicating portions of the displayed image on a touch-sensitive or proximity-sensitive display. Consequently, the term "user input device", as used herein, is intended to have a broad definition and encompasses many variations on well-known input devices such as stylus 204. Region 205 shows a feedback region or contact region permitting the user to determine where the stylus 204 as contacted the display surface 202.
In various embodiments, the system provides an ink platform as a set of COM (component object model) services that an application can use to capture, manipulate, and store ink. One service enables an application to read and write ink using the disclosed representations of ink. The ink platform may also include a mark-up language including a language like the extensible markup language (XML). Further, the system may use DCOM as another implementation. Yet further implementations may be used including the Win32 programming model and the .Net programming model from Microsoft Corporation.
Content Insertion Locations
At least two different approaches may be used to determine upon which page (302 or 303) new content 304 is to be inserted. For example, in a first aspect of the invention, the page that is displayed closest to the top left corner of display 301 (point 306) is considered to be the page receiving the new content. Alternatively, the page that crosses the center of display 301 may be considered to be the page receiving new content (for example, crossing median line 307). Further, the intersection of or proximity of any page to any corner or any point or any line on page 301 may be used to determine the page that is to receive new content 304.
In this example, page 302 is used as the location receiving new content 304. Page 302 is expanded to its full size for illustrative purposes as page 305.
Processes for Performing Content Insertion
In step 903, the location of insertion for new content is determined. In step 904, the new content is inserted at the insertion location. Optionally, the insertion from step 904 may be adjusted in step 905. This adjustment may include expanding the length of the page to permit additional content to be placed on the page, adding a new page and putting either the new content or displaced content on the new page, or displacing content onto following pages. These steps may be taken automatically or may be based on user preferences (for example, as specified through user dialog selections). For example,
Further, step 902 may be incorporated into step 903 by using the current or previous focus of the user. Moreover, step 902 may occur after step 903 or may be eliminated if step 903 results in an insertion location.
Steps 1005 and 1007 may be accomplished by checking the bounding box sizes of the current content on a page and the new content to be added. The comparison of the box sizes with the location of each may result in a determination of overlap. Other surrounding shapes may be used as well. Further, the content itself in the shapes may be used may be used to determine whether an overlap exists.
Although the invention has been defined using the appended claims, these claims are illustrative in that the invention is intended to include the elements and steps described herein in any combination or sub combination. Accordingly, there are any number of alternative combinations for defining the invention, which incorporate one or more elements from the specification, including the description, claims, and drawings, in various combinations or sub combinations. It will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant technology, in light of the present specification, that alternate combinations of aspects of the invention, either alone or in combination with one or more elements or steps defined herein, may be utilized as modifications or alterations of the invention or as part of the invention. It may be intended that the written description of the invention contained herein covers all such modifications and alterations.

Poor product
This review is from: Cyber Acoustics AC-850 AC-850 USB Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset
Pros: Earphone sound quality very good, if all you want is a headset
Cons: microphone sensitivity extremely poor. Recorded voice and Skype transmission barely intelligable, even with microphone set to full gain and AGC enabled. To yield adequate microphone output, you need to yell, which is incompatible with polite use.

Publisher's Description
A leading Christian intellectual explores the newest strain of atheism, its foremost thinkers, the cultural conditions that have bred it, and how Christians should respond.
Something has changed in American culture. What for years was a little-regarded belief system-atheism-has now gained a large, and increasing, national hearing through the writings of "new atheists" such as Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens.
Wanting to both inform and equip serious-minded Christians regarding this cultural shift, R. Albert Mohler Jr. explores the environment that has bred the "new atheism" while also introducing readers to the movement's four leading thinkers and the contours of their arguments. Mohler-deemed "the reigning intellectual of the evangelical movement in the US" by Time magazine-then uses this foundation to pinpoint eight major distinctives that make the new atheism new, and to discuss the future of Christianity in relationship to it.
At school and in the community, Christians are sure to encounter people who have been shaped by this strain of atheism. Here is keen insight that any believer can use to understand and challenge the new atheists.

"A great city" New Orleans by PinkFloydActuary
New Orleans Travel Guide: 4,331 reviews and 7,719 photos
I got my first chance to come to New Orleans just a few months before Katrina. The spring actuarial convention was being held there. A strange choice (New Orleans in June), but I was excited to see something new.
In 2012, the actuaries were back in town. I now can post a few more reviews and pictures. The food in New Orleans is to die for!
Without a doubt, what I will remember most from my trips is the fabulous food. The first visit, in three short days I had shrimp creole, gumbo, fried alligator, crawfish etouflle, beignets, fried soft-shell crab, and a fried shrimp po boy. Every single thing I ate was fantastic. In the latest visit, many of the above made a return visit, along with new crawfish dishes and a few Hurricanes!
On my trip to Biloxi, I decided to fly into New Orleans (since it was cheaper.) This gave me an opportunity to visit Jean Lafitte NP - and put a few tips out there on them!

For those that use a Brooks saddle, do you also wear padded shorts or are they not necessary?
For those that use a Brooks saddle, do you also wear padded shorts or are they not necessary?
You know, the reason chamois exists is for chafing and not for actually padding anything. I think it's funny because folks think of it as an extra cushioning layer. It can, in fact, cause MORE pressure on the perineum because of the added material.
I wore mine at first, and one day didn't and found it to be at least 100x more comfortable without the chamois. The saddles are slick enough that you won't chafe even without chamois. You can still wear lycra, just get the un-chamoised kind. I will never go back to chamois!
For me, the Brooks is more comfortable without the padded shorts. With the padded shorts, my ass hurts even more. I wonder if it's because the saddle is broken in to my non-padded ass.

We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!
The odd thing is that when a saddle really fits well, you don't need a chamois. I ride my bikes in street clothes and unpadded tights/knickers and don't have any significant issues. I don't have a Brooks yet--but I did get chosen to be a product tester for the Brooks Imperial. I went with the ladies model, and I am very excited about it. I suspect I will find it very comfortable no matter what I wear riding.

You don't need padded shorts...but for men, tight shorts (or a tight under short) that keep all your pieces parts in place is a darned good idea. Flat or no seams - better yet.
"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
I just got a Brooks B17 and I have about 100 miles on it, got it last Tuesday. Anyway, I will try this out, that is, no padding on my next ride.
I found this thread wondering if the padding actually makes problems... I'm thinking now that the chamois causes more trouble than it solves...
If you are using padding for your sit bones, the padding interferes with anatomic cutouts in the saddle! And frankly, a 2mm of compressible polyester fiber are NOT going to make much difference on the sit bones if the saddle is not doing it's most basic job supporting your pelvis while providing clearance for soft tissue that suspends, etc...
The real problem, is the padding bunches up and fills the 'taint area and you get compression where the padding bunches up between the legs. Unless you grab your padding and pull it out from 'there' every 5 miles, it bunches up and you start to wonder why the cutout on your expensive saddle still make you numb.
I'm beginning to think a part of advanced cycling is to make your sit bones numb to a hard saddle and forgo padding that makes other more important things complain. I'm going to cut the chamois out of my winter tights and wear padded shorts under them if I need padding.
I've ridden the Brooks B-17 with and without padding. The sit bones are fine either way, but I do notice, the 'taint suffers more with padding on the b17. A quality saddle shouldn't need padding I think. It's 2008! The Brooks still shows it's usefulness. If only I could ride low on the drops with the Brooks... 'Taint no thing.
so those of you who don't wear padded shorts just wear regular cycling shorts or tights?
i'm having problems riding in the drops, too. crotch goes numb. it's unpleasant. i'm just wearing civilian exercise/rain gear, using the saddle that came with my bike, though. nothing fancy. i have to figure out what to change next.
i gotta say, though, that the saddle is a thousand times better than the one on my old bike. i think the bike shop saw my butt and took mercy on me, because the saddle isn't the one that is supposed to come with the bike, according to the bike company's website. hehe
A B 17 is a touring saddle, not a race saddle and really isn't going to work if you want to ride in the drops a lot. I'm to the point that I want to run low and aero and the now the beloved B 17 is going to have to get swapped out for a race saddle.
2006 Trek Pilot 1.0
2005 Trek Navigator 300
I've got a B.17 on my commuter/distance bike and I wear padded shorts with it. Thin padded for long rides, but still something. It's more about moisture wicking than actually "padding" anything since my saddle is pretty well worn in and comfortable after 4000+ miles.

Hi Grzegorz,
I think the problem there is not the "||" being considered logical operator, but PostgreSQL not being able to concatenate 2 integer fields (ERROR: operator does not exist: bigint || bigint).
So I've done a quick fix for this. It is available at:
perhaps you could apply it manually to your server to see if it solves the problem, any feedback will be really welcome.
The fix will be hopefully applied to Moodle 2.0 soon and will be available in next weekly build (next Wednesday).
Thanks for the report, ciao
I'm resolving this as fixed and will be integrated and tested by PULL-44. If everything goes ok will be available next Wednesday for download.
Thank you. The patch did fix the problem on our end. I just hope commenting will not re-open the ticket
Great, thanks!
NP, commenting is open & free, but doesn't re-opens anything, lol!
Closing as tests passed. Will land upstream in hours. Thanks and ciao
