OPINION: Research in Motion, which makes the BlackBerry line of smartphones, has 106 passwords which can't be used to sign into its BlackBerry 10 operating system. Making their way onto the prohibited lists are passwords that are very easily guessable, such as "password" and "123456", which makes the BlackBerry decision seem eminently sensible.
You may think nobody uses hackneyed and easily guessable passwords any more, but you'd be wrong. According to Splashdata's survey of this year's most commonly used passwords, the two above are the two most popular passwords used, with "abc123", "qwerty" and "letmein" joining them in the top 10. Exactly the same kind of result is found when hackers make off with thousands of passwords - those most commonly used include those listed above.
There's an argument to be made that passwords aren't enough any more, after a tech-savvy journalist found his Gmail, Apple ID and Twitter accounts all compromised within an hour, despite his using strong passwords. In that case, a little knowledge about the person helped the hackers to acquire one password, which then gave them information - such as some credit-card digits - that could be used to access all his other accounts, one by one via helplines and password resets. It's scary how simple it is to entirely take over someone's online life if a concerted effort is made by someone with malicious intent.
PC World recommends you use two-factor authentication, where it's available - that is, having an offline code or token that must be used in combination with your online password to grant access. Gmail, for example, lets you use an SMS to your phone as a cross-check before login as a way to ensure your account is secure.
Where two-factor authentication isn't available, good passwords are essential. How do you make one?
A strong password contains letters, numbers, symbols, and is as long as possible - 10 or 12 characters or longer is far better than six or eight. Don't use plain English words. One method I use is to create phrases, which can then be turned into a sort of shorthand for a password. It makes them easier to remember, but harder to crack.
It's also good practice to use a separate password for each account that contains sensitive information about you: bank accounts, your email address, Facebook, AppleID. That way, if someone acquires the password for one, they don't have access to everything.
If you have trouble remembering passwords, software can help. We recommend a few products, including LastPass, 1Password, RoboForm and KeePass.
You may not have heard of Bitcoin: it's a form of money that you create using your computer. I don't mean in a "make money fast" kind of way, either. Instead, Bitcoins are generated by computer processing power.
If you sign up to mine Bitcoins, then when your computer isn't busy doing your regular work and hobbies, it can be used to solve a complex problem, and bitcoins are issued linked to how much work is done, in a predictable way. The problem gets more or less difficult depending on how many miners there are, and the system is intended to always be profitable for miners.
Alternatively, you can swap regular money for Bitcoins at a Bitcoin exchange - there are several around the world. And now, it appears that France will be allowing the French Bitcoin exchange to register with it's banking authority as a financial institution. Is that worthwhile? Apparently, Bitcoins is the most popular form of alternative currency - bigger than Bartercard - and a Bitcoin is worth about US$12 right now.
Some companies even accept Bitcoins in payment: WordPress announced in November that it now accepts Bitcoins for its blogging system software.
But it's also been accused of being a Ponzi scheme because of the way that the coins are mined: those who started out early earned thousands of coins for the same amount of work that may net you 50 coins now. You've got a few more years to try and mine your fortune, though - Bitcoins are designed to run out, in 2016 - or at 100 million coins in total. You can get started at bitcoin.org.

Probably one of the best comments this site has ever gotten

Don't forget to read the comments on this site. This one (from this post) was so good that I had to post it here:
Grayden writes:
One thing that might be worth talking about as part of the Financial Makeover is being realistic about housing, transportation, and lifestyle. A lot of people get a bit crazy with spending when they get their first job that pays more than peanuts. For the last several years I've been paying far more than I've needed to because I felt that I needed to live in a NICE apartment. After living in a nice place for a while and even upgrading to a better place, I realized that I was throwing away half of my income on living expenses and not even earning any equity. It seemed obvious enough that is was time to buy a house and start building some real value. After all, my friends were all buying houses and they seem to be managing just fine. After a period of house hunting and analysis of both my finances and my realistic needs, I realized that owning a house would completely ruin me at this point in my life. After spending so much on rent in a full service apartment for several years, I didn't have much money for a decent down payment so the banks would have eaten my lunch. On top of that, I'm still in grad school part time in addition to having a full time job, so I wouldn't have time to properly maintain a house and keep other time commitments in my life as well.
Having given my housing situation plenty of reflection and trying to find a way to make it work, I've realized something about myself – I really just don't need to live alone or in a fancy place. Sure it's nice, but I don't need it to be happy. Everyone has different needs to satisfy their esteem. Some people need to drive a nice car but don't care where they live. Some people need a nice home but would be perfectly happy driving a rusty old beater. Some people need to have high end home electronics or designer suits and watches. Some people just don't know what they want and drive themselves into debt trying to have it all without the means to support it. Doing some honest self-reflection and being realistic about things you don't really need can help you find a few big ways to get your finances in order. Cutting back on things you don't honestly need can free up a lot of capital for the things that really do matter to you. For my situation, I've realized that while I do want to own a home some day, it's not time yet. I'd rather get my debts settled and save up a nestegg in case I end up moving to another city when I'm done with grad school. This summer I'm moving out of my expensive apartment and into a room in a friend's house and as a result I'll be cutting my living expenses by more than 60%. That extra saved money can go into investments and savings until a time when my life is sorted out enough to do something with it.
I'll be writing more about this in an upcoming article that I've been thinking about for a few months. (Hint: It's about jeans.)

This is the shoddiest worst camera I've ever owned. I've had it 6 months and the back screen has broken twice. Pentax service is rubbish and nothing is included in the guarantee even after breaking down in the first week of use. Plan on paying 70$ every 3 months for repairs. I'm thinking of just throwing it away and buying a decent camera. Problems: back screen keeps failling. Terrible after-sales service from Pentax.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

Isn't Doris Day/Les Brown's "My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time" from 1945? That should be somewhere on the '45 list, not to mention "Saturday Night (Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week)," arguably the best up-tempo record Frank Sinatra ever made at Columbia.9.

They were both huge hits in 1945, yes, although the Sinatra may have been released late in 1944.
As you can see from my list, I'm much more into the R&B stuff from that era than the pop stuff. I have MP3s of the two records you mentioned.....actually I have an MP3 of virtually every Billboard pop chart hit between 1907 and 2007.
"Caldonia" is my 2nd favorite record of 1945:

For all the talk here about how incredibly bad Kay is, I found him sort of blah when I finally saw him on a yankees broadcast. Not saying I'd want him to be my team's primary announcer but I was bracing for an even worse experience after what I'd read here. Waldman and Sterling are both much worse. Though that might be the best example ever of damning with faint praise.

Organizers: Truckers' protest a go
WASHINGTON So it wasn't a hoax after all?
Organizers of the "Truckers Ride for the Constitution" rally say they indeed are coming to Washington today. Whether they shut down Interstate 495, also known as the Beltway, remains to be seen.
Zeeda Andrews, one of the organizers, said the ride is a go but emphasized it will be peaceful. She said Georgia trucker Earl Conlon "overstepped his boundaries" this week in saying the event was just a ploy to get attention for the group's agenda.
"Yes, it is happening," Andrews said, predicting "a few thousand truckers."
A Virginia State Police spokeswoman said extra troopers will be deployed.
Truckers and their supporters have been asked to post #T2SDA (Truckers to Shut Down America) on their vehicles. Industry groups have stepped forward to disavow the group's action.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to electromagnetic tools for well logging. More particularly, the invention relates to improved antennas and electromagnetic tools having improved antennas.
2. Background Art
The measurement of dielectric constant (or electric permittivity) of formations surrounding a borehole is known to provide very useful information about the formations. The dielectric constant of the different materials of earth formations vary widely (for example, 2.2 for oil, 7.5 limestone, and 80 for water), so measurement of dielectric properties is a useful means of formation evaluation. For example, if the lithology and the water saturation of a particular formation are known, then the porosity may be determined if the dielectric constant of the formation could be obtained. Similarly, if the lithology and porosity are known, information as to the degree of water saturation can be obtained by measuring the dielectric constant of the formation.
A logging device that improved the art of measuring formation dielectric constant was the electromagnetic propagation tool as disclosed, for example, in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,944,910 ("the '910 patent") issued to Rau and assigned to the present assignee. This patent discloses a logging device including a transmitter and spaced apart receivers mounted in a pad that is urged against the borehole wall. Microwave electromagnetic energy is transmitted into the formations, and energy which has propagated through the formations is received at the receiving antennas. The phase shift and attenuation of the energy propagating in the formations are determined from the received signals. The dielectric constant and, if desired, the conductivity of the formations can then be derived from the phase shift and attenuation measurements.
The configuration of antennas is an important aspect of successful operation of electromagnetic propagation logging tools. At a relatively high frequency of operation (for example 1100 MHz.), the signal attenuates quite rapidly. Therefore, it is important to have transmitting antennas that can efficiently generate energy and inject it into the formations, and to have receiving antennas that can efficiently receive energy that has propagated through the formations. Because the accuracy of the dielectric constant and conductivity measurements depends upon accurate measurements of attenuation and phase shift of the received signals, it is essential that the antennas operate in a stable manner over time and that the antennas are in, and remain in, a substantially balanced condition.
In the '910 patent, the antennas in the electromagnetic propagation logging device are cavity-backed slot antennas, which are filled with a dielectric material and include a probe that is an extension of the center conductor of a coaxial cable. The center conductor of the coaxial cable extends across the cavity-backed slot connects to the wall on the opposite side of the cavity-backed slot (see
The probe (or conductor) of the cavity-backed antenna, as disclosed in the '910 patent, extends across the slot in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the borehole. This configuration is known as a "broadside" array. U.S. Pat. No. 4,704,581 ("the '581 patent"), issued to Clark and assigned to the present assignee, discloses a similar logging device, but wherein the slot (cavity-backed) antennas have probes that extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the borehole. This configuration is know as an "endfire" array. The endfire array exhibits a deeper depth of investigation and is less affected by tool standoff than the broadside array. On the other hand, the broadside array exhibits a stronger signal characteristic than the endfire array and may be preferred in relatively lossy (low resistivity) logging environment. Note that most electromagnetic logging tools have two or more receiver antennas, which facilitate the measurements of difference signals between the receiver antennas. Difference measurements cancel undesirable environmental (e.g., borehole) effects and simplify data analysis. However, one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that these measurements may also be performed with a single receiver antenna. In this case, the characteristics of the single antenna should be calibrated so that the true signals may be extracted from the raw measurements. With a single receiver antenna, it is more accurate to refer to the setup as a "mode" rather than an "array." However, for simplicity, this description uses "array" to generally refer to a tool configuration that includes a transmitter and one or more receivers. One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that embodiments of the invention are applicable to tool configurations having one or more receivers.
An example of a logging device based on the teachings of the '910 and '581 patents is a electromagnetic propagation tool sold under the trade name of EPT™ by Schlumberger Technology Corp. (Houston, Tex.). A similar tool, called adaptable EPT™ ("ADEPT"), can provide either broadside operation or endfire operation during a given run, depending on the logging conditions. The ADEPT logging tool has two changeable pads, one containing a broadside antenna array and the other an endfire antenna array.
The EPT™ or ADEPT tools use cavity-backed antennas (or slotted antennas) arrays. Other related tools based on similar arrays include U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,572 ("the '572 patent") issued to Clark. The '572 patent discloses electromagnetic logging tools incorporating slot antennas that have improved properties as compared with the conventional cavity-backed antennas. The slot antennas disclosed in this patent include tuning elements to improve the operation.
Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 5,434,507 ("the '507 patent") issued to Beren et al. discloses electromagnetic logging tools with two-dimensional antenna arrays. The antenna arrays may comprise conventional cavity-backed antennas or cavity-backed antennas having two conductors arranged in a crossed-dipole configuration. The two-dimensional array of antennas makes it possible to image the formations surrounding the borehole. The above described patents, i.e., the '901 patent, the '572 patent, the '581 patent, and the '507 patents, are assigned to the present assignee and are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
Although the cavity-backed antennas have been very reliable in wire line applications, the rough working environment of logging-while-drilling (LWD) applications may need a new design of antennas. If the antennas are placed on a pad, which can rotate at a rate up to 120 RPM in a drilling operation, the antennas would have much higher wear rates as compared with the wire line environment. As a result, the antennas may have to be replaced often. Accordingly, it is desirable to have new design of antennas that can tolerate the harsh environments of an LWD operation and/or can be more easily replaced.
One aspect of the invention relates to antennas for electromagnetic logging tools. An antenna in accordance with embodiments of the invention are RF antennas that may be manufactured using printed circuit technologies.
Another aspect of the invention relates to tools for electromagnetic logging of a formation. A tool in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes a tool body configured to move in a borehole penetrating the formation; an antenna array disposed on the tool body; and an electronic unit configured to control operation of the antenna array, wherein the antenna array comprises at least one transmitter and at least one receiver, wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the at least one transmitter and the at least one receiver comprises a printed circuit antenna.
Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for logging a well. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes moving an electromagnetic logging tool in a borehole penetrating a formation; transmitting an electromagnetic energy from at least one transmitter disposed on the electromagnetic logging tool into the formation; and receiving a signal from the formation using at least one receiver disposed on the electromagnetic logging tool, wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the at least one transmitter and the at least one receiver comprises a printed circuit antenna.
Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for manufacturing an electromagnetic logging tool. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes disposing at least one transmitter and at least one receiver on a tool body that is configured to move in a borehole penetrating a formation; and disposing an electronic unit in the tool body, wherein the electronic unit is configured to control operation of the at least one transmitter and the at least one receiver, and wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the at least one transmitter and the at least one receiver comprises a printed circuit antenna.
Other aspects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and the appended claims.
Embodiments of the invention relate to RF antennas for logging operations and tools incorporating the same. An antenna in accordance with embodiments of the invention have properties similar to those of a cavity-backed antenna. However, an antenna of the invention does not need to have a box to provide the cavity. Some antennas of the invention may be manufactured using printed circuit technologies. Such antennas can better tolerate stresses that are expected in downhole environments, especially the harsh environments encountered in logging-while-drilling operations.
Drilling fluid or mud 26 is contained in a pit 27. A pump 29 pumps the drilling fluid into the drill string 12 via a port in the swivel 19 to flow downward through the center of drill string 12. The drilling fluid exits the drill string 12 via ports in the drill bit 15 and then circulates upward in the region between the outside of the drill string and the periphery of the borehole. As is well known, the drilling fluid thereby carries formation cuttings to the surface of the earth, and the drilling fluid is returned to the pit 27 for recirculation.
Mounted within the drill string 12, preferably near the drill bit 15, is a downhole sensing, processing, storing and transmitting subsystem 100. A transmitting subsystem may include an acoustic transmitter 56, which generates an acoustic signal in the drilling fluid. The generated acoustic mud wave travels upward and is received at the surface of the earth by transducers 31, which convert the received acoustic signals to electronic signals. The output of the transducers 31 is coupled to the uphole receiving subsystem 90, which demodulates the transmitted signals and relays the demodulated signals to processor 85 and recorder 45.
Transmitter 56 is controlled by transmitter control and driving electronics 57 which includes analog-to-digital (A/D) circuitry that converts the signals representative of downhole conditions into digital form. The control and driving electronics 57 may also include a suitable modulator, such as a phase shift keying (PSK) modulator, which conventionally produces driving signals for application to the transmitter 56. These driving signals can be used to apply appropriate modulation to the mud siren of transmitter 56. It will be understood that alternative techniques can be employed for communicating logging information to the surface of the earth.
The downhole subsystem 100 may further include acquisition and processor electronics 58, which include a microprocessor (with associated memory, clock circuitry, and interface circuitry) and processing circuitry. The acquisition and processor electronics 58 are coupled to the measuring apparatus 200. The acquisition and processor electronics 58 is capable of storing data from the measuring apparatus 200, processing the data and storing the results, and coupling any desired portion of the information it contains to the transmitter control and driving electronics 57 for transmission to the surface by transmitter 56. A battery 53 may provide downhole power. Alternatively, a downhole generator (not shown) such as a "mud turbine" may be utilized to provide power during drilling.
Subsystem 100 includes a measuring apparatus 200. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the measuring apparatus 200 may include an EPT™-like device having one or more antenna arrays, each comprising, for example, four antennas T1, T2, R1, and R2. The T1-R1-R2-T2 configuration, shown in
Electrically, the current in the center conductor 212 returns along the walls of the box 211 to reach the outer conductor 213 of the coax. As a result, the current paths comprise a series of current loops around the center conductor 212 and the walls of the box 211. The center conductor 212 acts as the common conductor for all current loops. Simple right hand rule can be used to show that the magnetic field generated from these loops is shown as H in
The box 211 of a conventional cavity-backed antenna is tough enough to withstand certain degree of stress. However, the center conductor 212 of the coax cable and its connection to the cavity walls are potential weak points in the mechanical design of the antenna. In a drilling operation, axial forces as well as shear forces would be continuously applied to the cavity. The coax cable and the connections may break under stress. Therefore, it is desirable to have a more reliable design of antennas.
Embodiments of the invention can achieve the same antenna behavior as the cavity-backed dipole antenna shown in
The printed circuit designs as shown in
As noted above, the multi-layer printed circuit antennas can provide stronger magnetic moments because the magnitudes of magnetic moments are directly proportional to the number of turns of a coil. In addition, a multi-turn antenna loop can be energized, as shown in
The printed circuit type antennas, in accordance with embodiments of the invention, may be assembled to form an antenna array.
The cover 702 has windows 701 cut in it to allow the radiation to be transmitted into the formation or to allow signals to reach the antenna (receiver). One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that the openings on the metal cover 702 may be configured in certain patterns to allow magnetic moments in particular directions to pass through. See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,297,639 issued to Clark et al. These windows 701 may be covered with an insulating material to prevent the borehole fluid from entering the cavity. Parts of cover 706, may be allowed to protrude outside to provide additional protection against wear.
Electronic components (or electronic units) such as 705 may be mounted underneath the insulating layer 704. In some embodiments, the electronic components 705 may be disposed outside the printed circuit antenna array module. The electronic components 705 may function to control the operations of the antenna 700 (e.g., the transmitters and the receivers). Detailed designs and functions of the electronic units for controlling the operations of the transmitters and receivers are generally known in the art. See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,721 issued to Calvert and U.S. Pat. No. 4,689,572 issued to Clark. These patents are assigned to the present assignee and are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The two examples shown in
In addition, the endfire array (T1-R1-R2-T2) and the broadside array (T′-R1′-R2′-T2′) shown in
The above description shows that embodiments of the invention may be used in a logging tool that is like an EPT™ or ADEPT. Embodiments of the invention may be used with wireline or logging-while-drilling (LWD), Measurement-while-drill (MWD), or logging-while-tripping (LWT) tool. A tool including antennas of the invention may be operated at appropriate frequencies to achieve different types measurements, i.e., induction and propagation measurements. Therefore, a tool in accordance with the invention may be used in all kind of mud (water-based or oil-based muds). In a particular embodiment, a tool of the invention can provide borehole images in a well drilled with all types of muds, i.e., an all mud imager.
When used on an LWD or MWD tool, an antenna array of the invention may be disposed in an articulating pad. Such articulating pads are known in the art, for example, the articulating pads on the PowerDrive™ tool available from Schlumberger Technology Corp. (Houston, Tex.). Alternatively, these arrays may be disposed on drill collars, pads extended from drill collars, or stabilizers of the LWD or MWD tools.
Advantages of the invention may include one or more of the following. An RF loop antenna in accordance with embodiments of the invention may be used with various downhole tools, such as an all mud imager. An antenna in accordance with embodiment of the invention may be made more reliable than the prior art cavity backed antennas because an antenna of the invention may be able to tolerate more bending stresses. An antenna in accordance with embodiment of the invention can be made to radiate more RF power into the rock formation by using multi turns instead of a single turn. An antenna in accordance with embodiment of the invention can be tuned easier and more efficiently by designing the capacitors as an integral part of the loop and taking advantage of distributed capacitor approach. An antenna of the invention may be efficiently operated at relatively high frequency (e.g., 1 GHz or higher) for dielectric constant logging. An antenna in accordance with embodiment of the invention is easier to build because it is compatible with printed circuit technology and a tool based on such antennas is cheaper to manufacture and maintain because of the modular construction.
While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art, having benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that other embodiments can be devised which do not depart from the scope of the invention as disclosed herein. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the attached claims.

Former 2e2 director Marke rocks up at Daisy Group
Acquisitive telco services player Daisy Group has created a chief technology officer role for former 2e2 director Nathan Marke. Marke was CTO at 2e2 for nearly four and a half years from August 2008 until the Berkshire-based integrator bit the dust earlier this year. Prior to that he was sales director at Prime Business …
This topic is closed for new posts.
Tell me this is a joke. Please someone tell me this is a joke. Is he not the director who swanned off round the world on his yacht during his tenure and then when he was working was a 3 day a week man?
He was also exec board, exec board who steered the ship/yacht in to the bottom of the sea?
It does seem utterly bizarre doesn't it?
From the frying pan into the fire?

KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
The KDE Project announced that the beta2 version of KDE 3.0 is available, and they are looking for testers. Core KDE libraries, the desktop and more than 100 applications and packages are included in the beta2 release.
The project is especially interested in testers' queries and input on this beta, as a group of KDE developers will be meeting in Germany at the end of February to prepare the final release of KDE 3.0, which is currently scheduled for Spring 2002. Dirk Mueller, the KDE 3 release coordinator, said that the group is interested particularly in feedback concerning support for right-to-left languages, the functionality of features new to KDE 3.0 and compatibility with application being ported to KDE 3.0.
Improvements from KDE version 2.2 to version 3.0 include better Javascript/DHTML support in Konqueror. Regarding this, David Faure, a developer for Konqueror and KOffice, said, "The DOM 2 model, used to render an HTML page, is now mostly implemented and changes to the DOM tree are handled much better. The Javascript bindings and support are almost complete, faster and more stable than [they were] in KDE 2. These changes result in a much-improved rendering of dynamic web sites."
In addition to previously announced improvements to the underlying Qt library, new features of KDE 3.0 include:
support for multi-key shortcuts (Emacs style)
improved service activation
improved CUPS printing support
added WebDAV support
KHTML (HTML rendering engine)
major improvements to the JavaScript implementation
a smarter "window open" JavaScript policy
improved dynamic HTML / increased compatibility with other browsers
a GUI for configuring animated images
a new directory feature in the sidebar's directory tree and
added the kuick plug-in (for fast copying/moving)
Noatun (multimedia player)
export to plain text files
along with many other Ktools, bug fixes and upgraded applications.
Precompiled KDE 3.0beta2 packages are available for the most recent versions of SuSE, Mandrake, Slackware and a few other distributions. Go to the official KDE 3.0beta2 release announcement to view the complete list of precompiled packages, as well as to download these packages or the source code tarballs. The packages can also be obtained from the /pub/kde/unstable/kde-3.0-beta2/ directory at one of the many KDE FTP server mirrors. The KDE Project recommends checking the servers periodically over the coming days and weeks, as more binary packages will likely become available over the coming days and weeks.

Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
My GOD! I hope they built in a bit of performance this time!
KDE 1.1.2 kicked KDE 2.2.2 all over the desktop when it came to execution speed. That's the reason I still use 1.2.2.
Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
I just don't get it, why someone shall go on adding more and more bells and whistles while everybody else is complaining that even already existing system is performing below any acceptable productivity level.
KDE is very nice sistem (at least it should be), but it is so !@#!!! SLOW!!!!!!!!! that it is unusable!!!
Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
So, will the new KDE be as slow and painful as earlier? I'm using KDE on a 533Mhz and it is so painfully slow! It's like I own a 50 Mhz once again.
Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
Stop using Celeron processors! I run KDE Mandrake Linux 8.1 (KDE 2.2.2 I think) on a P3 450 with 320Megs of RAM and a 25.5GB hard drive (66 not 33) and it is sweet. Did you know that a P3 has a 48% performance increase over a celeron. Linux uses more resources than Windows. Take that into consideration.
Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
My machine is a 550MHz Athlon with 192 MiBytes of RAM and installed Beta2 yesterday. While it does have its weaknesses/bugs, it's a very noticable improvement in speed and JavaScript, so I don't think I'll select kde2 again in kdm. I prefer the new bugs over the old ones :-)
Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
I love KDE. I really do! My only whine is that during the beta release cycle, there never seem to be RPMS for RedHat systems. We see SuSE and Mandrake out there, but alas, no RedHat (which is strange because I think there are a lot of installed RedHat systems out there).
Oh, I'll still find ways to take it out for a test drive . . . it would just be nice if I didn't have to go through those additional steps.
Re: KDE 3.0beta2 Ready for Testing
i agree. I, too love KDE and even i think that 2.2.x was a substantial improvement over the previous versions.
However a Redhat Linux RPM set would really be cool !

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

World Bulletin / News Desk
French President Francois Hollande has asked former foreign minister Hubert Vedrine to review France's membership of NATO's integrated military command, his office said on Wednesday, echoing unease about its place in the alliance's inner circle.
Hollande has in the past expressed reservations about France's 2009 return to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's integrated command, a move approved by his conservative predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy, who was one of the most pro-American presidents France has had in decades.
Hollande also asked fellow Socialist Vedrine, who opposed France's return to NATO's inner circle, to review France's relationship with the United States over the next decade. Vedrine is to report back by the end of October.
General Charles de Gaulle withdrew French forces from NATO's command in 1966 at the height of the Cold War and forced the alliance's headquarters to relocate from Paris and Fontainebleau the following year in protest at what he saw as U.S. hegemony in Europe.

When the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad in 2005, Denmark found itself at the center of a global battle about the freedom of speech. The paper's culture editor, Flemming Rose, defended the decision to print the 12 drawings, and he quickly came to play a central part in the debate about the limitations to freedom of speech in the 21st century. In The Tyranny of Silence, Flemming Rose provides a personal account of an event that has shaped the debate about what it means to be a citizen in a democracy and how to coexist in a world that is increasingly multicultural, multireligious, and multiethnic.

The Cato Institute has released its 2014 Annual Report, which documents a dynamic year of growth and productivity. "Libertarianism is the philosophy of freedom," Cato's David Boaz writes in his book, The Libertarian Mind. "It is the indispensable framework for the future." And as the new report demonstrates, the Cato Institute, thanks largely to the generosity of our Sponsors, is leading the charge to apply this framework across the policy spectrum.

If accepted, the reforms will facilitate the production of cheaper, generic medicines, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and local Aids-activist group Treatment Action Campaign.The policies "set the stage for changes that promise to increase competition in the pharmaceutical sector and lower the price of medicines in South Africa," the group said in a statement.South Africa's current laws allow firms to renew patents indefinitely by changing minute elements in a medicine's composition. "This allows companies to extend the life of their monopolies, block competition from generic manufacturers, and charge inflated prices for medicines in both the public and private sector," said the rights groups.More access to drugs, treatmentsThe new patent policies will allow the production of generic medicines and grant over five million South Africans living with Aids or multi drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis access to treatments.The country's powerful drug-makers treated the draft with caution."We would support anything that would increase IP (intellectual property) protection," said Val Beaumont, who heads the Innovative Pharmaceutical Association of South Africa.The Department of Trade and Industry invited public consultation on the text until October 4, though the policy could take years to finalise.According to the document, South Africa does not have a written national IP policy which has led to a fragmented approach to such matters.
