That's the third win of the year for the Gold Coast and after a slow start, they dominated much of the second half to earn their stripes against the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium.
It truly was Sezer's Palace towards the final stages. Aidan Sezer, the Gold Coast's impressive five-eighth, again showed great poise under pressure. He stepped up to hit a 40m penalty with seven minutes to play then banged over a field goal to make sure of it with one minute left.
It was 6-4 to the Bulldogs at the break but the Titans replied with four tries in 16 minutes to earn a big lead in the second half. Ben Barba did his best to keep the Dogs in the hunt but he was a lone hand in attack.
No collapse this time The Titans managed to brilliantly salvage a heart-melting defeat from the grasps of victory last week against the Tigers. When Josh Morris scored with 11 minutes to play, reducing the gap to six, it felt like deja vu all over again. But Sezer confidently struck a long penalty, then a field goal, to show he's a star in the making.
Cold shoulder Sam Kasiano can expect to be in trouble for his shoulder charge to the head of Luke O'Dwyer five minutes after halftime. O'Dwyer was falling but the Dogs backrower sized him up and didn't hold back, rocking the head of the Titans utility and sending him crashing to the deck. It didn't look good. He was put on report and expect weeks to be dished out.
Origin influence The usual suspects performed for the Titans. Greg Bird worked himself to the bone in the backrow, as did Ash Harrison. Expect them to face off in game one, along with another Titan, Nate Myles. If guys like Josh Reynolds were hoping to turn selection rumours into fact, they needed to do a bit better than they did tonight. The Bulldogs were flat all over the park and did little to enhance the prospects of Michael Ennis, Josh Morris and Reynolds.
FULLTIME Titans 25 Bulldogs 14.
79th min Sezer field goal. Just to rub it in.
78th min Penalty to the Titans right in front. The Bulldogs player was offside after the bomb was dropped and Sezer is going to slot this through to make it 24-14. That's going to be it and the Titans get the upset here tonight. Well played to them - been a long road this season. Doggies fans, your lads never really turned up tonight. Fell asleep to let in three tries in 10 minutes to blow them out of the contest.
76th min The Dogs a long way from home and need to score twice. Not looking likely at the moment as the Titans find a fifth wind in defence and swarm the ball runners. It's Gold Coast ball now. Surely they can see this one out with four minutes on the clock. They lead 22-14.
73rd min A flop from the Bulldogs and the Titans have a penalty. Sezer from 40m out.... and he nails it! Pressure kick and this kid really can play when it counts. That changes things dramatically and the Titans have an eight-point lead. It's Titans 22 Bulldogs 14.
71st min Kick is wide and it's 20-14 to the Titans with less than 10 minutes remaining. The Gold Coast would be having nightmares of last week at this stage. Having seen the meltdown against the Tigers, the Bulldogs will be confident they can at least get this to golden point.
69th min TRY for the Dogs! Morris streaks away and reaches out and we have a game on our hands now. It's 20-14 to the Titans but the Bulldogs have a kick on the way.
67th min Harrison had a rest but is back to give some stability to the Titans. He's done a mountain of work so far. Gordon almost went over! Knocked it on as he slid for the ball in the corner. So close and that might have been the winner. As it is, the Dogs are still right in this one and trail 20-10.
61st min Goodwin can't land the sideline conversion and the 10-point deficit remains in tact. Barba away again! He's killing them. Zillman wrangles him this time but the Dogs are right on the pace.
58th min I wouldn't say this game is being played at a breakneck pace but that suits the Titans just fine. They need to remember how to close out a game. Oh jeez... that's not going to help. Ben Barba scores a TRY for the Dogs to get his second as they go coast-to-coast. It's 20-10 in favour of the Titans.
56th min TRY to the Titans. Mark Minichiello chases hard off the Prince kick and they are in control at the moment. Kick on the way and it misses for Prince. It's 20-6 to the Titans. Bet of the round if you are that way inclined. A flood of late money for the Coast this afternoon apparently.
55th min Prince kicks it again (see Corey Parker.... you kick it between the tall ones) and it's 16-6 to the Gold Coast. The one and only Steve Mascord, who is sitting next to me and writes for everyone from the SMH to Bacon Busters, is wondering if the Bulldogs one-game winning streak has come to an end. And this is going to be another try! Waiting...
53rd min Idris! He goes over after he picks up a loose ball and Idris just rams his way over. That's going to be a try for sure. Here's the call... TRY it is and the Titans lead 14-6 with a kick to come.
51st min Stagg getting helped off by the trainers - ankle it seems. In some trouble and I doubt we'll see anymore of him tonight. The Titans having the better of the going at the moment and get another penalty.
50th min We've gone upstairs again although surely the Titans haven't scored here. Champion put in the grubber and gee that's close. Barba fell asleep over the ball and wished it dead and Mead almost snuck one there as he scooped it back. No try though but just centimetres in the final call. Titans lead 10-6 as David Stagg goes down in back play.
47th min Prince gets the kick and the Gold Coast are up 10-6.
45th min Ref's call and it's a TRY! Srama just gets the point of the ball on the line from a dummy-half lunge and his side goes ahead 8-6.
45th min Sam Kasiano in a bit of strife. Dropped a huge shoulder right into the head of Luke O'Dwyer and goes on report. That's some weeks coming up there as Srama claims a try for the Titans. We're heading upstairs.
43rd min You'd call this game a 'grind' at this point. That's generally code for 'dull' although coaches seem to love it. I'm hoping one or both of these teams gives up tackling in the second half. Ben Barba has looked likely for the Bulldogs. Harrison ballplaying a lot for the Titans as well. Some speculation in the press box that he may not get picked for Queensland but he's a certaintly. It's 6-4 to the Dogs.
41st min They're back. Are we there yet?
HALFTIME The kick is missed and the Bulldogs lead 6-4 at halftime.
39th min They've made a liar of me! The devils! Prince runs approximately one metre to score after Luke O'Dwyer pops it up from almost on the deck. Let's make that a TRY for the Titans. They trail 4-0 with a kick on the way.
37th min Mead drops it after a richochet from the Sezer kick. Might have been half a chance to get to the line on that occasion from 10m out. Had some room and he's quick Now Canterbury waste possession in midfield. This is a bit like covering the Melbourne Cup then the next race is a maiden at Grafton. Dogs lead 6-0.
34th min The Titans need to kick it faster. It's charged down by the Bulldogs as Sezer is slow to clear. That cost them the game last week. This time it cannons into touch and the Titans feed the scrum. For a side that is so desperate for a win, it hasn't been showing on the park in terms of intensity. They trail 6-0.
31st min Srama knocks it on as he passes from dummy half. Very GC. Dogs 6 Titans 0.
30th min Bad mistake from Barba and Srama picks it up just a few metres out from the Doggies line with a full set up their sleeve. And now a penalty arrives. Titans need to make this count.
27th min Idris up walking so that's good news. He's heading back to the line so it looks as if he's going to play on. Well done son. And because the Titans haven't lost a big player, I think it's time for me to reveal that I believe the Gold Coast have the worst jersey in the entire NRL. Light blue fades into dark blue with bits and pieces all over the place. Less is more, people. Less is more. Dogs lead 6-0.
26th min A handy penalty for the Titans and they muck up another chance! Idris down on the deck as well and he looks to be in a world of hurt. Dogs lead 6-0 and right knee dramas for Jamal.
25th min Bryson Goodwin adds the conversion to the tally and the Bulldogs lead 6-0.
23rd min Funny old game, "insert sport here". In this case, it's rugby league. A minute after the Titans were denied, Ben Barba has gone under the posts at the other end. That's a TRY folks. The Dogs lead 4-0.
22nd min The crowd of almost 42,000 just chatting politely among themselves. The Titans are looking a little bit more interested and here we go, they think they've got a try on their hands! Mead knocked it forward from Aidan Sezer's kick for mine. Doubt they will get this call. Survey says... no try. The score remains 0-0. Is anyone still out there?
19th min Mead takes the bomb then takes a bump. Hangs onto it though and the slog continues up and down the park without a great deal of fanfare. The ground has taken a bit of a pounding and there are some patches of grass looking thin. That's right - I'm writing about the state of the grass. Can someone please do something interesting? It's 0-0.
16th min The Titans having a shot here but the high ball from Prince goes to ground and the Bulldogs survive. This one struggling to get out of first gear, if in fact anyone has bothered to kick it into life. It's 0-0.
9th min Scott Prince back this week for the Titans, with poor Jordan Rankin gone from the squad. He had a shocking end to the match against the Tigers last week and you would have liked to seen him back on the horse. But the veteran Prince is back and they probably beat the Tigers last week if he plays. Scrappy start to this game - going to be hard to top the opener in every respect.
5th min No score here as Barba climbs high. He is officially the forgotton man in Origin selection after Gillett all but sealed his place in the previous game. An early penalty to the Dogs, Luke Bailey questions the ruling but incredibly is told to move away. It's 0-0.
1st min No time to waste. We're away for the second game as the Titans try desperately to get their season back on track.

Designed, Built, and Lab Tested in the USAMade in USA. Direct from Original Manufacturer
Other Premium Features Equipped
- One 10' 5 micron sediment pre-filter
- Two 10' extruded carbon block pre-filters
- Super high flow Thin Film composite TFC membrane
- Storage tank pressure switch
- Powder-coated premium steel frame
- High-pressure nylon tubing
- High-pressure brass comp. fittings
- Rotary vane pump
- 110 volt-50/60hz motor
- 1/2 hp Motor (3/4 hp for 800 GPD model)
- Feed water inlet solenoid valve
This is our most durable reverse osmosis system with unmatched value in quality, convenience, and price. NSF-grade high quality parts are used to build this tough system. All APEC commercial RO systems are wet tested before shipment, and are delivered with individual quality assurance reports to show actual performance data on outputs and rejections.
Optional Features
- Float switch for atmospheric storage tank
- 220 volt motor - 50/60 hz
Explanation of Standard Features
- Liquid-filled system pressure gauge: This gauge is filled with glycerin. The 'liquid' prevents gauge needle vibration.
- Inlet/Outlet pre-filter gauges: These gauges monitor the pressure BEFORE and AFTER the system pre-filters. This allows you to know when to change out the pre-filters. A pressure differential of about 15 psi between the two gauges indicates the filters should be changed. Example: Pre-filter IN pressure is 50 psi and Pre-filter OUT psi is 35. This is a differential pressure of 15 psi.
- Stainless steel fixed waste/recycle flow controls: The fixed flow control devices are stainless steel flat plates with a small hole drilled in the center. This flow control feature regulates waste water and recycle flows. The COMPACT model RO system is pre-set to obtain a 50% feed flow recovery. This means that for every gallon of product water produced, 1 gallon flows to the drain. Fixed flow control makes certain the recovery rate is tamper proof.
- Storage tank pressure switch: All COMPACT models come standard with a bladder (pressurized) tank pressure switch. This means that the COMPACT RO system is set up for product water to be stored in a pressurized storage tank only. If you are using an open (atmospheric) tank, you will require the optional float switch. The pressure settings on the tank pressure switch will make the COMPACT RO system turn off at 50 psi and turn on at 30 psi in the pressurized storage tank.
- Feed water inlet solenoid valve: This solenoid valve turns the water supply to the COMPACT RO system OFF when the storage tank is full and turns ON when the storage tank needs more water.
- Feed water low pressure switch: This is a safety feature designed to make sure there is at least 30 psi being delivered to the COMPACT RO system before the motor starts. This switch protects the pump from running dry due to no feed water supply.
- Rotary vane pump : This pump provides the necessary operating pressure (approx. 180 to 200 psi) to the RO membrane.
Explanation of Optional Features
- Float switch for atmospheric storage tank: This option is necessary if you intend to store the RO water in an atmospheric (open storage) water tank. If this option is used, the COMPACT RO system cannot be installed to a pressurized storage tank.
- 220 Volt: The COMPACT RO system is standard 110v power. Select this option if you prefer 220v.
Commercial RO System Technical Guidelines
Commercial reverse osmosis water treatment is quite complex because very large amounts of water are processed daily. There are many stringent requirements for the input water quality for commercial ROs compared to residential RO systems. Commercial RO systems (at over 400 GPD flow rates) would always require pre-treatment of the incoming water to assure a flawless operation and membrane/system longevity. The appropriate pre-treatment depends on local water quality. The most commonly used pre-treatments are water softeners and back-washing carbon filters for treating hard and chlorinated water. Other specialty filters can be used when specific contaminants are present. For example, if you have above 0.5 ppm of iron in your water, you would need an iron-removal filter in front of the commercial RO system.
When sizing a system, particularly if system output is critical for you, you need to understand that the actual flow rate GPD (Gallons Per Day) of any reverse osmosis system depends on the water pressure, input water temperature and your water conditions (whether appropriate pre-treatment is applied). While the industry standard temperature is set at 77 °F, we know that not everyone has 77 °F input water. Below is a water temperature compensation chart for you to calculate the nominal GPD of your RO system at different temperatures.
INSTRUCTIONS: find your water temperature and its factor, divide the RO system GPD by that factor, and you will get the temperature-corrected output.
Feed Water Requirements
- Temperature 85 °F maximum pH range 3-11
- Hardness over 10 gpg should be softened.
- TDS 2000 ppm maximum.
- Iron 0.5 ppm maximum.
- Turbidity should be removed.
- Hydrogen sulfide must be removed.
- Silica needs to be less than 125 ppm in the concentrate stream, anti-scalant should be considered for any levels over 75 ppm.
Operating Parameters
- Input Pressure 40-80 psi maximum
- Operating pressure 200 psi maximum
- Water recovery is factory set at 50%.
- Flow rates are determined by membrane manufacturer's testing criteria of 1500 ppm NaCl solution @ 77 °F water temperature and 225 psi at 10-15% recovery.
- Actual flow rates may vary depending on the pre-treatment used, water conditions, membrane array, and applied pressure.

how many processors can GNU/Linux support?
and how much of memory can GNU/Linux support?
and if you can provide me with the reference
how many processors can GNU/Linux support?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 6 '10 at 17:27
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Gnu is userland so has no relationship with the number of CPUs. CPU and memory limits depends on the kernel and the architecture.
I'm assuming you are asking about the x86 architecture running on 64 bit mode.
The maximum number of CPUs (more precisely cores ((even more precisely hardware threads in the Chip Multi-Threading / HyperThreading cases)) ) supported by the Linux kernel is a parameter set at compilation time. Common values are 8 (default smp), 32 for bigger smp hardware. The maximum setting is 512, although you'll have hard time to find out actual x86 hardware with that much number of CPUs.
You might get the value set for your kernel with looking the
The very maximum (experimental) is 4096 [Edit: possibly 8192 since a 2013 patch] but is AFAIK only used for code testing purposes.
About memory, the Linux kernel can support about 64 TB of RAM and each process about 128 TB of virtual memory. Here too, these limits are large enough for not being reachable by existing hardware.
As much as money can buy: see top500 and particularly top 500 by OS or, if you must, same as a piechart.
I think you need to be more specific for your question. What distribution? Some of these answers will depend on the kernel you use. If you want specific numbers, you can match this against a specific distribution.
Number of CPUs can have two answers - what is the maximum number of CPUs the OS can use, period. And what can it use efficiently. Sometimes these can be very different.
As far as memory, you'll get kernel limitations, but also hardware ones. Certain motherboards/chipsets will have practical limits, either because of addressing, or because of limited number of RAM slots.
I don't know the specifics, but in general you will hit hardware and/or monetary limits before you hit OS limits. Basically, if you have to ask its more than you can use.

I am pissed. I left a few CDs at home by accident, among them both Änglagård studio albums. And on my copy of Buried Alive, the last track ("Kung Bore") skips like crazy and won't play through. That last track is the only track on the album I think is better than the studio version, too. Sheeit.
Insound has a pretty cool video of Godspeed You Black Emperor! - interview and in concert.

People who love music can never quite get enough of it. They often want to listen to it for most of the day, whether at home, at work, or traveling between the two. Wireless speakers have aided this endeavor for listening at home, but they're often ugly objects you wouldn't want to have on display permanently – a problem potentially solved by Soundwall.

Wren Sound Systems has added a new model to its V5 wireless speaker range. Where the other three units are geared toward either Bluetooth, AirPlay or Play-Fi, the V5US supports all three wireless technologies for "near-universal device compatibility" and lossless audio streaming.Read More
Many of the latest music players are launching with Wi-Fi for sharing music from a computer, iOS, or Android device. Perhaps you have an older model, and you still want to be able to take part in the wireless music listening fun. A new product called the Auris skye aims to bring such an experience to existing docks with a 30-pin connector.Read More
Gizmag was introduced to the Libratone Beat wireless speaker at CES 2010, and left mighty impressed. The Danish company has now raised the bar even further by unveiling a disc-shaped new addition to its FullRoom family called the Loop, which is claimed by CEO Tommy Andersen to offer "unparalleled sound quality."Read More
Last month I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with the Minx Go Bluetooth speaker from Cambridge Audio and came away mighty impressed. Since then I've been playing my tunes through its bigger brother, the top of the range Minx Air 200. This wireless speaker is roughly four times the physical size of the Go, is compatible with Apple's AirPlay technology as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and has a monstrous 200 W amplifier at its heart.Read More
When Apple first introduced the Lightning connector with the launch of the iPhone 5 in September 2012, 30-pin to Lightning adapters were also announced. This gave folks who'd just spent a wad of cash on quality speaker docks from the likes of Bowers & Wilkins a way to avoid expensive upgrades, or helped prevent the forced retirement of old favorites like the Bose SoundDock 10. Music lovers could also choose to go wireless with a 30-pin Bluetooth receiver and enjoy fairly decent fidelity, so long as they didn't wander too far off the beaten track and go out of range. Now Sweden's C4 Electronics has released the Dolry Stone, a cute little device that's claimed to be the world's first 30-pin adapter compatible with Apple AirPlay, DLNA, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Read on for our hands-on review.Read More
The name McIntosh Labs has been synonymous with outstanding audio quality for more than 60 years and its iconic MC275 tube amp certainly left its mark on me when I first encountered one many moons ago. Hot on the heels of the MX121 audio/video control center featuring Apple's AirPlay wireless technology released earlier this year, the company has launched the McAire free-standing personal music system that allows a new generation of discriminating consumers to stream audio from an iTunes library on a Mac or PC - or music from an iDevice - over an existing home network.Read More
The B&O PLAY Beolit 12 is about the size of a small car battery, weighs 2.8 kg and contains a substantial battery, a digital Class D 120 Watt amplifier, plus two 2" tweeters and a 4" woofer. It also connects via Apple's AirPlay, so it plays seamlessly from your iPod, IPad or iPhone by AirPlay for four hours, or wired to your iThing for eight hours. Based on our past experience with B&O, the sound will be exquisite, but the Beolit 12 might also be the most expensive accessory you'll consider for the iPhone - EUR700 or US$800. Read More
Griffin Technology has given visitors to CES 2012 a quick preview of a new audio amplifier that uses Apple's Airport Express to offer untethered digital playback from iTunes through existing non-powered speakers. The low profile amp captures streaming audio from any AirPlay-enabled source, decodes it and then sends the lossless, amplified sound through the speakers.Read More
With the advantage of no cables running around the corners of a room and the ability to play music from people's ever-expanding digital music libraries, wireless speakers have become increasingly popular over recent years. So it's not surprising to see Copenhagen-based company Libratone enter the U.S. market with a couple of AirPlay-enabled speaker systems that can stream audio from iTunes libraries on a Mac or PC, as well as music stored on an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.Read More

AIDS Walk Washington, the chief fundraising event for Whitman-Walker Health, the local community health center that specializes in LGBT-sensitive and HIV/AIDS care, will honor longtime supporter Booz Allen Hamilton at its 27th annual walk Oct. 26 at Freedom Plaza.
Booz Allen Hamilton, a management and technology consulting firm, has been a stalwart supporter of the annual AIDS Walk since 2006, raising nearly $100,000 through its employee teams and events. All proceeds from the event go to HIV detection, treatment and prevention services provided by Whitman-Walker Health and its community partners.
"Booz Allen Hamilton and our employees have a strong commitment to the Washington, D.C. community and ending HIV and AIDS," Reggie Van Lee, senior executive vice president of Booz Allen Hamilton, said in a statement. "We applaud Whitman-Walker's longstanding commitment to improving healthcare in our community and addressing the nation's health challenges. We are proud to organize a team each year, host fundraisers, and to do all that we can to make each AIDS Walk a success."
Don Blanchon, the executive director of Whitman-Walker Health, praised the company for its dedication to the yearly event.
"For many years the employees of Booz Allen Hamilton have helped Whitman-Walker raise needed funds and create awareness battling this epidemic," Blanchon said in a statement. "Every year, Booz Allen Hamilton employees help ensure the largest public event in support of an AIDS-free generation raises vital funds and has powerful presence in our nation's capital. It will be a fitting tribute to honor Booz Allen Hamilton on the morning of October 26, on Freedom Plaza."

CORE [english] Rechargeable battery for TIKKA² headlamps8
More infos on www.petzl.com The new rechargeable CORE battery is designed for the TIKKA² – ZIPKA² line of headlamps. This battery is easily inserted into the headlamp in a few seconds instead of three regular batteries. It offers an advantage over standard batteries for frequent or intensive headlamp use. It is more economical to use – it pays for itself after four sets of alkaline batteries. The Lithium Ion Polymer technology guarantees a lifetime that is equivalent to 900 regular batteries – the CORE battery makes an efficient contribution to limiting toxic waste in the environment. The CORE battery takes advantage of the high performance of Lithium Ion Polymer technology, particularly of its excellent functioning in lower temperatures. The CORE battery has a USB connection, so it can be recharged from any standard USB charger: a cell phone charger, a multimedia device, a solar panel, a portable energy source, a computer, etc. With "OS by Petzl" software, the CORE battery opens new doors: the "OS by Petzl" software can simply be installed in your computer and the headlamp connected to it. It then becomes possible to adjust, in a very intuitive way and with only a few clicks, the battery life of the headlamp or the lighting level (maximum or economic mode) according to your needs.

If you love to eat sushi, this next story has some information you don't want to miss. Dr. Mom has fished around to get the facts has them dished up and ready to serve.
Sushi may be one of the best sources of nutrition available to us. It is packed with protein and is low in fats. It is a good source of the omega 3 fatty acids which have been shown to raise the levels of high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol); and then in turn, lower the levels of low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol).
There are different types of sushi: nigiri sushi, in which mounds of sticky rice are wrapped or layered with seafood and other ingredients; maki sushi in which sticky rice and other ingredients are rolled into a cylinder using thin sheets of dried seaweed; and sashimi, sliced raw fish, served with a variety of condiments. Not all sushi is raw fish; some types include cooked fish or seafood.
As with any raw food there is some degree of risk of food borne pathogens. Anyone eating raw fish should be aware of potential health concerns. A good itamae (sushi chef) is trained in the proper preparation of sushi and to detect any possible parasites. Freezing fish for at least 72 hours at 4 degrees kills the worms and their larvae. You may ask your waiter how the fish has been handled.
At a good sushi bar or restaurant, attention is paid not only to the combination of flavors but to the presentation of each dish.Some Health Concerns:
- Contaminants such as mercury
- Parasitic creatures such as round worms and flat worms
- Order sushi from reputable restaurants
- The FDA recommends that you don't risk eating raw fish if you are pregnant or have a compromised immune system
- Don't make your own sushi with raw fish unless you can freeze your fish for 72 hours at 4 degrees, home freezers usually can't reach temperatures this low.
- If making sushi at home, please use cooked fish or vegetables.

- 1 cup lemon creme pie filling
- 3 large egg whites

- 1/2 cup sugar
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, eggs and lemon peel; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
- Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
