College Hockey:This Week in D-III Women's Hockey:
Jan. 4, 2007
Is there a better way to ring in 2007? In the NESCAC, No. 2 Middlebury ventures to Maine to take on Colby and No. 10 ranked Bowdoin in pivotal conference matchups for the Panthers. In nonconference action, No. 8 Utica, who recently won the St. Michael's Tournament with consecutive 5-1 wins over Colby and Neumann, plays host to New England College before traveling to Williams to take on the Ephs. Out west, No. 9 Wisconsin-River Falls welcomes St. Thomas for a midweek tilt which could play a big role into the NCAA selection process. But the most important matchup this weekend takes place in northern New York when No. 6 ranked Manhattanville pays a visit to No. 1 Plattsburgh for a two-game set.
New Year, Different Result?
If you were to guess the all-time record between Plattsburgh and Manhattanville, what would you pick? Well, if you guessed an even split, then you couldn't be further from the truth. The Cardinals hold a 4-0-3 record all-time over the Valiants with a 1-0-1 record at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena. This weekend Manhattanville makes the trip north in search of its first win ever over Plattsburgh.
When two teams who annually make the trip to NCAAs meet, each team would usually have a good chance to win, so it is somewhat surprising to see that Manhattanville is winless in seven attempts against Plattsburgh. If the Valiants are going to beat Plattsburgh, the time may be now. Plattsburgh has not played a game in nearly a month and could take time to shake off the rust leftover from 2006. Granted, the Valiants last game was on the same date, but if the Valiants want to win, they are going to need to jump out to the early lead and capitalize on the mistakes that Plattsburgh may make in the early going. The Cardinals have not lost at home in 32 games and it will take a Valiant effort from Manhattanville to snap that streak.
Paper Tiger?
Through the first semester, only one team in all of Division III came out perfect. No, it was not Plattsburgh, or Middlebury, or even Gustavus Adolphus. If you are not already aware of what team that is, it may surprise you. The team is the RIT Tigers who stand at 10-0-0 entering the second semester. The Tigers were incredible in the first half outscoring opponents 55-5 and allowing just a half a goal per game. They have posted shutouts in six of their ten contests and have won by four or more goals in all but one game, a 3-1 win at Southern Maine. In their 6-1 victory over Castleton State they even managed to have just as many goals as the Spartans had shots on goal.
They are led by sophomore Danielle Nagymarosi (15-11-26), junior Isabelle Richard (8-16-24), and sophomore Maegan Geypens (7-13-20) who rank second, fourth, and seventh in the nation in points respectively. In goal, senior Nicki Werner and freshman Karen Quigley have split time. Each netminder possesses nearly flawless statistics, so flawless that if your name is Melissa Belmonte (UMass-Boston), Brittany George (Southern Maine), Nicole Ruddy (Cortland), Heather Crowley (Cortland), or Katelyn Greene (Castleton State), you should have kept the puck because you are in a very select group of players who have scored on the Tigers this season.
The Tigers ranked second in the nation in scoring, average 5.50 goals per game. Only Utica has averaged more. They rank first in the nation in goals against average, allowing a miniscule 0.50 goals per game. Their power play ranks 13th in the nation at 18.8 percent. The penalty kill is tops in the country at 95.6 percent, they have killed off 65 of the 68 penalties they have taken. Certainly all of this is good enough for a spot in the USCHO poll.
Well, not according to the voters, at least not many of them. The Tigers only received seven points in this week's poll. The tenth-ranked team, Bowdoin, had 24 points. So how is it that a team, who has been so perfect, so dominant, so incredible in the first half is shut out of a poll that claims to rank the best teams? It's simple really. The combined record of RIT's opponents so far this season is 19-66-1. Of all of their opponents, the one who currently has the best record is Buffalo State who is 3-3-0. In the voters' eyes, the Tigers have been beating teams they should beat, and they have been doing it soundly.
It will take the second half of the season to really see just how good the Tigers are. They wont waste any time however as they open the second half facing Division II opponents St. Anselm who, ironically is also 10-0-0. They will follow that up with three straight games against ranked teams in Elmira, Middlebury, and Utica.
As of now, the Tigers are a team with great statistics. Whether they themselves are a great team remains to be seen. Clearly they are good, and in my opinion should be ranked for the sole fact that they have yet to lose a game this far into the season. All of that however will work out on its' own. The Tigers will finally get a chance to prove themselves on the ice in the upcoming weeks.

Freedom of the City
Freedom of the City is granted to both individuals and military units.
The title 'Freeman of the City' is historic one and may be conferred on women and men. It is the highest form of recognition the city can bestow upon an individual and a graceful means of bestowing a city's acclamation on a distinguished person. It is an honour of distinction that carries no privileges - simply a means by which a distinguished person is given recognition for a high sense of duty or public spirit.
Recipients should either be Launceston-born or, more importantly, have lived in the Launceston area for a significant part of their life and have made the highest level of contributions to Launceston.
Recipients should have rendered nationally or internationally recognised services to Launceston and/or Australia.
The recipient must have given outstanding service to the city of Launceston in at least two of the following areas:
- Government Bodies
- Federal Government
- State Government
- Local Government
- Semi-Government Authorities
- Community Service
- Charitable Business
- Sporting
- Cultural
- Other
The only exception to this would be in the case of those who have held high political office in the State or Commonwealth.
Recipients should have played a significant role in Australia-wide or Tasmania-wide organisations.
The granting and right to exercise Freedom of Entry derives from an ancient tradition and signifies the special relationship between an Australian Defence Force unit and its local community.
Freedom of Entry to the city signifies bonds of friendship and often the expectation that the armed body on which the honour is bestowed would assist in the defence of the city. While granting Freedom of Entry gives no real rights or privileges, there is no higher honour a city can bestow on a regiment.
This award is restricted to Australian military services that have, through their command, a significant attachment to the city. It is awarded in recognition of their achievement while on active service or overseas duty or as a mark of respect and gratitude for their efforts in the defence of Australia.

Les Miserables Movie Reviews
Les Miserables
Release Date: Dec 25, 2012
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Les Miserables
No doubt the singing can seem long-winded, but the Christian theme running throughout the movie is wonderful. Great movie, esp. the second time watching! Anne Hathaway is fabulous; Hugh Jackman delivers his best performance. A good story of redemption.
I saw this on stage 5 times and truly, nothing can compare to seeing it live. But this movie did a fine job of it. The acting was superb and Hugh Jackman, outstanding in his portrayal of ValJean. The singing was okay considering these are actors and most aren't trained vocalists. The only let down (the reason for only 4 stars) was because of the singing. Why they didn't train Hugh to sing "Bring Him Home" using falsetto instead of trying to punch it out full voice (which was obviously out of his range), is beyond me. And it's one of the best songs of the show. With that said, who knew Russell Crowe could sing? I was shocked and amazed. All in all, a spectacular performance by the cast. Considering they're actors first and singers second, it was worthwhile.
I had very high hopes for this film and I was kind of disappointed. I thought the film was way too long and I did not think that the singing was up to par. The idea was great, but it just did not translate on the big screen and I could not get over the singing, it was definitely not as good as it should have been. I also found the film to be way too cheesy and I hate that, Les Miserables is not cheesy in any way but this film is and it is a shame. The film has such amazing reviews and Oscar buzz already and I just do not understand why, there are many movies that are much better than this one. It is hard to understand why it was not great because the cast was wonderful but I think musicals are meant to be seen on stage and they just don't translate well on the big screen.
I loved the book, and I know that it is nearly impossible to make a film as good as the book, so I did not have very high hopes for this film. The film was not bad, the acting was amazing, the production value was great and the filmmakers managed to retain the message of the book and make it relevant. However, the film was way way too long and the singing was not that great, maybe I am being too harsh but I think that professional singers should sing those songs not actors. I did think that Hugh Jackman did an amazing job and pretty much carried the film on his shoulders, I do think he deserves an Oscar for this role. Overall, if you are a fan of musical theater you might enjoy this film a lot, I found it to be a bit too long and a bit annoying.
I have been waiting for this film to come out for such a long time and I was so happy to see it on the big screen at last. The film was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. I think that even the biggest cynics will be moved by this heart-wrenching film and i have to admit that it was humanly impossible not to cry during this film. I thought that the music was amazing, the acting was superb and i loved the way the creators of this film were able to combine drama and music so beautifully and effortlessly. Anne Hatheway completely blew me away, I heard that she was amazing in this role but you have to see it to believe it, she definitely deserves an Oscar for her performance as Fantine. The film also looked great and i thought that the atmosphere created was incredible and riveting, I was very impressed with this film and highly recommend seeing it in the theaters.
So my girlfriend wanted to see this film since they started promoting it and I promised her that i would take her to see it. So here I was, watching the film and wishing I was seeing something else. I mean it is a very very long film about a lot of sad stuff and people sing about it as well, if you are a straight man, I am pretty sure you will not have a good time watching it. I am not saying that the film was bad, it was well made and the acting was great and the singing was amazing as well. However, it was not my kind of the film and I was bored out of my mind. Overall, if you want to score some boyfriend points, take your girl to see it and pretend you loved it is as well, she will cry during this film and you will definitely get lucky after.
So I'm not such a huge fan of musicals (unless they're of the Disney animated variety - or Moulin Rouge) but this one they really got right. I was just FLOORED by Anne Hathaway's performance as Fantine. It's not a very long part, but she really milks it for all it's worth. I remember when I saw Mo'Nique in"Precious" and I told everyone I knew that she was going to win every award...and then she did. I feel the same way about Anne Hathaway in this movie, she's just sublime. As a science fiction nerd I rarely get this excited about musicals, but Hathaway and Hugh Jackman both make this movie unforgettable. Russell Crowe also does a surprisingly good job in his role. Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen are there for comic relief, which they do well with. It's not hard to see now why this movie has been nominated for so many awards. It is the epic of the year, with due respect to "The Hobbit."
WOW. I have no words for this movie. The BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR. Maybe even the best movie I have ever seen . . . no joke. This is a masterpiece that is superb in every second and in every detail. I think that there is no way that any movie can approximate the brilliance of Les Msierables. First of all, you have the original story which is just heartbreaking and genius. Then you have Tom Hopper directing the epic story. And you have an amazing and perfect cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen. All of them are superb, especially Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean. He was born to play this part. But no one comes close to Anne Hathaway as Fantine. She broke my heart and made me cry - I wanted to stand up and applaud her after her rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream". Go see it - NOW. The movie of the century.
So let me just be very blunt: Anne Hathaway will win the Oscar for her performance in Les Miserables as the tragic Fatine. She'll also win the Golden Globe. And the SAG. And the Critics' Awards. And then some.
This is a performance of such raw power and poetic transcendence that, even as brief as her role may be, it is impossible to think of another performance in the last twelve months of Hollywood cinema releases that packs as potent a punch. She outdoes anything and everything that all the superheroes in all the summer blockbusters and Victorian heroines in all the independent period pieces have done – put together. I haven't felt like this about a performance since Mo'Nique in Precious or Nicole Kidman in The Hours. It's haunting and devastating. And flat out awesome. (I also have a feeling that her rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream" will quickly become as overplayed as Madonna's rendition of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from Evita).
Now, as for the rest of the movie, that depends on how you feel about musicals. I have a theory that few Broadway musicals – even the much beloved ones like Les Miserables – can only be translated to film if the essential component of music is given secondary status to the more vital element of plot. It's easy to get swept up in the majesty of a live musical performance on stage. If you're having to sit through nine or 10 or a dozen songs in a movie theater, it can begin to feel a bit claustrophobic. Ergo, it must be plotted very, very carefully.
Thankfully, director Tom Hooper gives just the right touch to this sweeping adaptation of what is quite likely the most beloved musical of all time. And much of the credit goes to the cast (apart from the aforementioned Hathaway) who nail their parts like you've never seen them do so before. Hugh Jackman literally masters the part of Jean Valjean, the wayward Frenchman who is imprisoned for 20 years for stealing a loaf of bread. Given that his role is almost entirely sung, you have to step back for a moment and consider how he managed to pull if off so well. Every facial expression and enunciated syllable is, for lack of a better word, perfect.
Non-animated musicals are a tricky business in Hollywood. For some reason, audiences are skeptical to accept their matinee idols singing ballads with the support of 100 piece orchestras. I hope they are able to put aside that prejudice this Christmas, because this is one of those rare, historical cinematic events that happens but once or twice in a generation. Sit back, open your eyes and ears, and behold the spectacle of Les Miserables.

"And so Pilate…handed him over to be crucified" (Mark 15:15).
Reflection: The Passion of Christ was far more horrible than our crucifixes portray. He suffered to rescue the human life he had created, to snatch it from the kingdom of death and bring it into his kingdom of life. Let us remember this Lent that Jesus endured his Passion for every unborn child in the womb. He endured every pain that the unborn might be saved as well as the born.
Prayer: Lord, I am so afraid to suffer. Lessen my fear, and increase my courage, that I may suffer with you for the sake of life. Amen.

After an initial discussion (§i) of what a theory of criminal law might amount to, I sketch (§ii) the proper aims of a liberal, republican criminal law, and discuss (§§iii–iv) two central features of such a criminal law: that it deals with public wrongs, and provides for those who perpetrate such wrongs to be called to public account. §v explains why a liberal republic should maintain such a system of criminal law, and §vi tackles the issue of criminalization—of how we should determine the proper scope of the criminal law.

Taking a cab ride is a right of passage for many world travelers. Whether it's through the streets of New York City, the narrow alleyways of our nation's capital, the mean streets of Mexico, or any other exotic locale, taxis allow weary vacationers the freedom to go from place to place along roadways that they probably have very little clue about. But, do you ever wonder who might be behind the wheel of the taxi?
In most cases, cab drivers are well trained, licensed individuals who have a better than working knowledge of the area where they work. They at least know how to get to most major destinations, and have an idea of how to get to most places even if they haven't been there before. Of course, there is always that sinking feeling that the person behind the wheel may not be the best person to trust your very life with in what can be a deadly weapon.
This scenario is the basis for the latest video from PepsiMax, where a rogue cab driver decides that a possible return to prison is a bit more than he can muster, and takes his unwilling fare on a wild ride through town in an effort to evade the police that are in hot pursuit.
Thanks to the overwhelming response of Pepsi Max Test Drive last year featuring Jeff Gordon in full disguise, now here's round two. If you enjoyed the first Test Drive, you're going to love what we have in store this time around, as the stakes have been raised on every level. The passenger for Test Drive 2 was Travis Okulski, editor at Jalopnik. Travis was a little critical of the first Test Drive video, and wrote an article questioning whether Gordon really drove the car and whether the video was real.
So, Pepsi MAX and Jeff decided to bring the unexpected to Travis. Jeff disguised again and this time as a cab driver, taking his driving skills to the MAX and giving Travis the most surprising and shocking ride of his life. It started out nice and normal, but once pulled over by the cop, all hell broke loose. Needless to say, Travis will sure never question Jeff's driving skills or the credibility of Pepsi MAX Test Drive again.
Even though this situation is a bit out there, it does make the average tourist and businessman wonder what if this situation actually occurred. What would be the right thing to do? Have you ever had a cab ride that went a bit beyond the pale?

Volume: 23 Issue: 3 (March 2000)
SPOTLIGHT: EAI Advances Immersive Prototyping
EAI developed the software in conjunction with automaker General Motors. Among the companies' primary goals was to make the virtual prototyping experience as believable as possible so that it could replace more expensive physical prototyping in much of the design process. The 1:1 scale is a mandatory part of the illusion, according to EAI, and adding to it are stereoscopic views, reflection maps, mock shadows, and SGI's ClearCoat 360 technology for realistic painted surfaces.
In order to reduce the lag and artifacts common to immersive design scenarios, VisConcept features a new technology called LIFT (Load Independent Frame-rate Technique) that comes into play during compute-intensive operations-when, for example, a user makes a design change to an image. LIFT helps maintain consistent image quality no matter what the rendering load while allowing the system to continue running at 20 to 60 frames per second.
VisConcept consists of two modules: VisConcept Layout, which provides a 2D GUI for creating presentations on a basic workstation, or even a laptop; and Vis Concept Presenter, into which the presentation can be loaded and viewed in an immersive environment. The software also supports two modes: presentation, in which an active user delivers images and other information to passive users; and informal, in which multiple users interact with images in the immersive space. Head tracking, stereoscopic displays, and multisite collaboration are all supported by the software, as is Fakespace's Neowand, in conjunction with which VisConcept was developed.
VisConcept runs on SGI and NT platforms. Later versions will be available for Sun and HP operating systems. The cost of VisConcept depends on the configuration. It is currently under evaluation at General Motors, and will be available for general use in May. (EAI; Ames, IA; 515-296-9908;

That two-screw Kel-Tec clip attaches only to the P-11, 9mm pistol. I've never used one, but it looks as if it fits in a very good place, holding the pistol up high enough to allow grabbing it properly.
The one-screw clip is meant for the P3AT. I've used that, and for my taste it attaches in the wrong place. It puts the pistol much too deeply behind the waistband to which it's hooked.
Oh, and by the way, it attaches to the plastic frame, not to the slide.

When Americans are asked to name the greatest presidents, Herbert Hoover is not going to make the list. On the contrary, the thirty-first president is at (or near) the top of any list of failed presidents. History was unkind to Hoover during his lifetime, but today many students of presidential history are taking a different look at the man who held office during some of the my trying days in the early twentieth century.
Hoover wrote a three-volume autobiography published in 1951-1952. He explored his policies,, the friendly neighbor approach he took with Latin American countries and his hands-off economic policies that disintegrated soon after he took the oath of office. The onset of the Great Depression sealed for good any ambitions he held for non-economic accomplishments during his term.
Remarkably, Hoover tried every tactic to avoid direct government intervention in the economic calamities of the period, but ultimately he was forced to provide federal aid to useful public works projects, despite a long-held opposition to such federally-funded projects. That concession began the massive federal government social programs that continue to this day.
The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover, Volume 2 was originally published in 1952 and covers Hoover's service as secretary of commerce in the Harding and Coolidge administrations, as well as the period of his own presidency. Autobiographies generally fail the test of objectivity, but Hoover's work is a fair, commendable assessment of his successes and failures. He self critiques when necessary, and explains where history failed to present what he believe to be a fair revelation.
The national economy began a downward spiral six months into his administration with the collapse of the stock market and a subsequent run on the banks. Hoover wrote that he believed the cause of the economic trouble was essentially international in scope and, consequently, he believed the remedy for it should equally be international. That proved, in his own words, to be ineffective" and forced Hoover into more government-sponsored relief programs to feed the millions of unemployed Americans that lined every major city across the country for a meal at a Hoover Kitchen.
There were many interesting revelations in Memoirs. After his election victory--and prior to assuming office--Hoover began a precedent-setting foreign tour while his aides conducted the immense task of transition. Hoover visited Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, Brazil and other countries in what became a "good neighbor" tour. while he continued friendly policies in office, Hoover's overtures laid a strong foundation for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's continuation under the stewardship of secretary of state Cordell Hull.
After leaving office, Hoover became a fixture at Republican conventions where he enjoyed elder statesman status. He later chaired numerous federal boards and commissions, chief among them was under Harry S. Truman and Dwight Eisenhower. During those two administrations, Hoover chaired the infamous Hoover Commission that focused on restructuring the federal government. Despite those achievements, only the careful student of history will understand that much of the blame assigned to Hoover was/is misplaced.
The Hoover autobiographies are out of print, but still widely available at local libraries and online. For a student of American history and the presidents, these are required reading simply for their impressive inside look at difficult times during presidential administration. Hoover knew his convictions and held to many of them despite enormous pressure to do differently. He did compromise in some areas that he regretted for the rest of his life.

In this video from Sketch Heroes.com, you will be taught how to draw Vageta from Dragonball Z on your computer.
Vageta is one of the main characters of the Dragonball series, along with Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo. Vageta is most known for his gravity defining hair, his egotistical manner and short temper.
Vageta is the prince of a race known as saiyans, a villain turned hero, and main rival to the series protagonist Goku, who is also a saiyan.
Vageta feels inferior to Goku who seems to surpass him in power without even knowing it, this is the main cause of their rivalry. Although Goku doesn't see it as a rivalry.
We first see him as one of Dragonball Z's many villains. We see a glimpse of him at the end of episode 4 (in the Arrival of Raditz arc) on another planet with another saiyan named Nappa. We don't see him fully until episode 22 in the "The battle against the Saiyans" arc, when he and Nappa arrives to concur earth and find the Dragonballs.
We see Vageta again on the planet Namek searching for the Namekian Dragonballs, this is also when he betrays his comrades and goes off on his own. This is also when we get to see his transition into one of the good guys. This happens when he teams up with Gohan and Krillin and helps save Goku.
After that we see him as one of the good guys, throughout the rest of the series, although he still has his temper and his rivalry to Goku.
If you'd like to see the Dragonball Z series from star to end, check them out on Hulu, Netflix, amazon or at your public library.

Lilienthal Hang-Glider
When Otto Lilienthal built his "Lilienthal Hang-Glider" in 1894, he considered it the safest and most successful of all his glider designs. In flight, the pilot hung between the wings by bars that passed beneath his arms. Lilienthal made glides of up to 1,150 feet (345 meters) in machines of this type. Despite Lilienthal's faith in the safety of his invention, he met his death following a crash in a hang-glider similar to the one on exhibit here.
His efforts were not in vain, however, for two young men named Orville and Wilbur Wright read about Lilienthal's experiments and were inspired to tackle the problem of heavier-than-air flight themselves. In 1899, they wrote to the Smithsonian Institution for information about experiments that had been conducted up to that time.

All-day kindergarten is coming to the Medical Lake School District this year, although it took some effort to make it become a reality.
After several years, the district's revenue level is projected to be back where it was in the 2007-08 school year, which aided the process. At the Tuesday, July 23, school board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Pam Veltri said Medical Lake was about 40 buildings behind those that were selected on a list for all-day kindergarten funding. As a result, the district needed to scrape together some money to make it happen, part of it coming from additional Learning...

I would be tempted to replace the gear with the rear of the car placed on ramps or jackstands (not the jack) to reduce (or eliminate) the amount of fluid that comes out during the process. Or park on a hill or curb. Anything to lift the rear of the car. Chock the wheels if on a hill.
Replacing the gear should only take a couple of minutes. You'll probably need a socket/wrench (set), a drain pan, and maybe a pair of needle-nose pliers. I'd have a flashlight ready too. You may have to remove a little electronic assembly which sends vehicle speed information to the cruise control.
If you have a clean container ready for the fluid, you can use that to replenish the transmission. If not, you'll want to have some new fluid. Is it a manual transmission? Or automatic? If it's a manual, it may be a bit of a hassle to refill.. Probably have to have a pump to do it. Or I've done it with a turkey baster (no kidding).
If you get the wrong gear, the worst that will happen is the speedometer may be a bit off.. Not that big of a deal. Check it with a stopwatch over a known distance. Or, if your smart phone has GPS, its speed information is super accurate - assuming it's getting a good signal.
Ford speedometer gears have different colors for different ratios. You could pull the cable (and maybe speed sensor) off and check the color before deciding which gear to get - assuming it has the correct one installed now.
Another option is to figure out the gear ratio of the rear differential, as that (and tire size) determine which speedometer gear you need - less so than engine size.. The differential ratio is usually marked on the housing (pumpkin) - probably something like 3.27:1 or 3.73:1. If it's not marked, you can determine the ratio experimentally.. Chock the front wheels, lift one rear wheel. Put a chalk mark or similar on the drive shaft. Release parking brake and put transmission in neutral (engine off). By hand, turn the lifted tire 10 revolutions while watching and counting the marks that go by on the drive shaft. Divide the number of marks by 10. If you get 33, you have a 3.27:1 axle ratio. If you get 37, you have a 3.73 ratio. 41, then you have 4.10:1. If you're smart with math, you can get away with fewer turns. Maybe even just one turn.. This method might not work if the car has limited slip differential.. You'll find that you can't turn the tire with just one wheel off the ground.
From the ratio, your dealer could tell you which speedometer gear you need - you don't have to buy it from them.
All this assumes it's the plastic gear that's broken. That's probably a safe assumption, as the gear that meshes to it is hardened steel - unlikely to break. It's also slightly possible there'a little metal clip broken in there..
Ah.. Turbo Mustang.. That explains the blown head gasket.
BTW, I drove a car with a disabled speedo for several years.. I was a broke college student and couldn't find/afford the right cable to go in it so I just put a rubber freeze plug in the opening... I did find a factory tachometer for the car for free, so I figured out what speed equated to what engine RPM (in several gears) by timing how long it took to cover a known distance at a steady RPM. A little math and I knew a few key RPMs which would keep me out of trouble with the law.
Good luck! If you made it through a head gasket, this will be easy.
Good luck on the car --- a MUSTANG! what year is it? You'll have to post pics........ mustangs are awesome!
1986. It's as old as my sister =P I'll post pictures once I get some. Haven't been able to catch it in daylight lately.
What do you need a speedometer for anyway? Wouldn't that damper the excitement of driving? Just make sure that you're not passing everyone on the road and you should be OK, amirite?
I replaced the instrument panel on my old truck and never got the gas gauge to work right again. So I couldn't get gas without filling it up completely and then had to use the trip meter to estimate when I needed to get gas again. I never ran out.
If I just said LOL, I lied. Do or do not. There is no try.
Booter, you are right. I mean, I can survive without it, but that means the odometer doesn't work either. It's not a huge priority, but I'd still like to fix it. The gas gauge was busted on my beetle for a long time. We had to replace the floater and then it was fine, I think. My dad was the one driving it then, and he got used to estimating how far we'd get. It got about 27mpg on average, I think, which in retrospect, was pretty damn awesome for a 30+ yr old car.
I got my stamped RMV-1 form today before work I'm going to get to the RMV first thing tomorrow morning to take care of the registration. It opens at 9AM, but it's in a high traffic area. It's only 4 miles away, but I will probably leave at least 30 minutes prior to opening so I can be in line before the doors open. Good thing I'm used to waking up at 6:30.
Tuesday 10: Tips For An Awesome Thanksgiving | theclothesmakethegirl
#5: Eating crappy food out of habit - not something I imagine myself struggling with on Thursday, but I do have this issue from time to time, or when drunk. Slowing down will help, I think, because I'll realize whatever I'm eating doesn't taste as good as I want it to. I have to remind myself that it's okay to throw something out if that will stop me from eating it, no matter if it came from my hard-earned money.
Sleep: I wasn't in bed till 11, then I was close to sleep but Boyfriend got home around 11:30, so I chatted with him (he's a temp so he doesn't get paid for Thanksgiving, so he's trying to put in 10 hr days this week to make up for it). I'd guess I might've fallen asleep sometime after midnight. I woke up too early, but got out of bed okay, aside from being tremendously grumpy. How did the cat get damp cat litter on the blanket halfway across the apartment, WITHOUT tracking it anywhere else between the blanket and the litter box? My trouble with falling asleep probably was partially due to not taking 5-HTP at the right times (took it all rather late instead of spaced out).
Food: My appetite is still mostly missing. I made some coconut flour pancakes for dinner last night (also cooked up some steak strips, but it was too late to eat by then). Next time, I need to add more coconut milk & not forget the baking powder/soda (I forget which it called for). The coconut flour absorbs the eggs quite a bit if you let it sit after mixing, so some added liquid would've helped them spread out a bit, not to mention upping the fat content. I had a chocolate coconut milk whey protein shake this morning to get my supplements down with something substantial. Half a can of coconut milk is 200-300 calories of fat, I think, which isn't enough for a whole meal, but it's better than nothing when I don't feel like eating.
Supplements: Still waiting for the Vitamin C to catch up. I'm happy with the energy boost from the maca root supps, but I think the rest of my body is going to have to get sorted out before it can potentially aid the sex drive. I've read about people taking up to 6g, but I'd worry too much about effects on my thyroid. It's probably not worth it to buy a bunch of this stuff so I can take more (that would add up, cost wise), as much as I'd like to have a sex drive.
Body: My knee still bloody HURTS. A LOT. It didn't hurt this morning till I walked up the stairs to the office, now it hurts while walking. I'm really hoping when my gut catches up, my body will decide that it's okay to NOT BE INFLAMED. I'm still all bloated from falling behind on Vitamin C this past weekend. This ssuuccckkksss
Plans for keeping busy tonight: wash hair, blow-dry or let dry so I can put in some color (not sure what I want to mix yet), make/consume dinner at some point, go to Trader Joe's after 8PM (butternut squash, fuji apple, pear, dried cranberries, sweet potato, brussel sprouts on stalk, pecans, Kerrygold butter -- I think I have enough ingredients to make two pies, including two crusts), get 2 pyrex pie dishes from Boyfriend's mom, pick up arrowroot powder if my mom is able to get it for me (I haven't seen it in stores, wonder if Whole Foods would have it, but there's a local spice shop that does, I just can't get to it before it closes today).
Tomorrow: RMV first thing, chopping up side dish for Thanksgiving (probably later in the day), baking pies!, maybe meeting Pebbles67 for tea?, getting my scooter up to my parents house for the winter (and clearing space for it).
Unless something comes up, I will probably be off MDA for a few days after today. I'll report in on my holiday eats at some point. I'm hoping Boyfriend's mom makes ham again so we can have amazing leftovers. I really wish I could drive myself up and back from Maine on Thursday, but Boyfriend doesn't want his car making long trips like that with the broken engine mount. Plus the transmission has been really shuddery in 1st and 2nd gear recently, I think it just badly needs a fluid change.
Our BJ's Wholesale membership expired yesterday. I'll renew it next week, when I go again for more frozen veggies. I've had to make a lot of payments this week and didn't want to throw on another $50.
As far as I'm concerned, we are meeting...unless husband really protests loudly or ties me up. I'm already in trouble anyway. Can we take pics to put up here?

Yes, I would love to!
Crap, I just realized that if my mom makes mashed potatoes, it's probably going to be with Smart Balance or some equally offensive-to-my-belly faux-fat. Either everyone but me gets to eat it, or everyone but my (vegan) sister gets to eat it. Not worth the effort to make my own.

by VR Sreeraman on September 7, 2009 at 6:34 PM Alcohol & Drug Abuse News - G J E 4
Several schoolgirls in Malaysia are reportedly so addicted to drugs that they have sex with the pushers for a free supply.
A sizeable number of secondary school students, aged between 13 and 17, are said to be very familiar with both plantbased drugs such as cannabis, and synthetic drugs such as Eramin-5.
They say that the drugs help them relax, and recover from the stress of examinations.
Pupils from several schools in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negri Sembilan admit to having done drugs.
The traffickers recruit students who cannot afford to buy the drugs as pushers, who can get drugs for free if they hit the "sales target".
According to reports, the girls can get the drugs free by having sex with pushers.
They also get discounts, but the boys have to pay the full price.
Kang Chez Chiang, City Narcotics Department chief Assistant Commissioner, said that some of the arrested pushers were selling drugs to students.
"Certain pushers are using students to sell drugs. Some students get RM10 and think they are doing their friends a favour," New Strait Times Online quoted Kang Chez Chiang as saying.
Many of the drug pushers are students at institutions of higher learning, and have just started working.
Selangor Narcotics Department chief Assistant Commissioner Nordin Kadir revealed that 541 youngsters, aged between 14 and 18, were arrested in the first six months of the year for drug offences.
"Many students take drugs because of peer pressure. They want to fit in. There are also those who take drugs because they come from broken families," Nordin said.
It is not just urban students who do drugs, for imaginative students in rural areas and small towns also make do with controlled medication like Dormicum, codeine or Nospan.

From what you've done it does seem like you've assembled the capacitor bank properly. So with a properly assembled package that repeatedly fails, this leads to only two other options, poor design or operation control. Both options require more information like a schematic, operational signal measurements and verification that the actual assembly is being used as the designer intended. In other words, a knowledgeable person on site to troubleshoot your repetitive failures.
Now if I was there, the first thing I would do would be to verify that the schematic agreed with the actual circuit assembled. Next I would measure the currents running through the circuit breaker and capacitor bank with a clamp on ammeter and oscilloscope. Then and only then might I have a suggestion which might be your cause of failure.

Mosque for All: BIG Wins Competition To Design Inside-Out Albanian Cultural Cent...
Start Slideshow
- Albanian Cultural CenterAn enticing new Islamic cultural center in the Albanian capital of Tirana will be designed by none other than the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), who just announced that their team took home first place in an invited competition. The "Mosque For All" withfeature a new mosque in Scanderbeg Square as well as an Islamic Centre, and a Museum of Religious Harmony as a way to encourage religious tolerance and understanding. The inside-out, mostly outdoor and shaded mosque is planned so that services are inclusive and inviting.1
- Albanian Cultural CenterAlbania sits at the crossroads of three major religions: Islam, Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity, and two new churches were recently completed for the later religions.2
- Albanian Cultural CenterSo in order to promote religious harmony within a capital city in the midst of major renovations, the City of Tirana set aside Scanderbeg Square for the Islamic cultural center.3
- Albanian Cultural CenterPlaying off the orientation of the existing square as well as alignment towards Mecca, the buildings' forms emerge from these intersecting axes.4
- Albanian Cultural CenterThe back of the buildings line up with the streets while a series of semi-covered plazas, two minor ones on the sides of the Mosque and a major plaza with a minaret in front, face Mecca.5
- Albanian Cultural CenterThe mosque area is flexible to accommodate 1,000 people for daily prayers all the way up to 10,000 for special holy days.6

Anonymous in Their Own Namesrecounts the lives of three women who, while working as their husbands' uncredited professional partners, had a profound and enduring impact on the media in the first half of the twentieth century. With her husband, Edward L. Bernays, Doris E. Fleischman helped found and form the field of public relations. Ruth Hale helped her husband, Heywood Broun, become one of the most popular and influential newspaper columnists of the 1920s and 1930s. In 1925 Jane Grant and her husband, Harold Ross, started the New Yorkermagazine. Yet these women's achievements have been invisible to countless authors who have written about their husbands. This invisibility is especially ironic given that all three were feminists who kept their birth names when they married as a sign of their equality with their husbands, then battled the government and societal norms to retain their names. Hale and Grant so believed in this cause that in 1921 they founded the Lucy Stone League to help other women keep their names, and Grant and Fleischman revived the league in 1950. This was the same year Grant and her second husband, William Harris, founded White Flower Farm, pioneering at that time and today one of the country's most celebrated commercial nurseries. Despite strikingly different personalities, the three women were friends and lived in overlapping, immensely stimulating New York City circles. Susan Henry explores their pivotal roles in their husbands' extraordinary success and much more, including their problematic marriages and their strategies for overcoming barriers that thwarted many of their contemporaries.

We had a phenomenal time at Grace's place! Not only is her "Chambre" conveniently located within walking distance to town, but it is also one of the coziest and cleanest places we have ever been to. What's more, Grace gave us a very warm welcome and was available whenever we needed a question answered or something fixed. Should I ever go back to Amsterdam, I will most certainly try to book the Chambre again. :-)

Broadway Global shares live video as Broadway dimmed its lights for Actress, Activist, Poet, Playwright Ruby Dee. It was destined that "A Raisin In The Sun" has enjoyed a rave revival on Broadway this seaon. Emmy, Obie, Grammy, Drama Desk, winner Ruby Dee starred in A Raisin in the Sun, Do the Right Thing and endless classics. For her role in American Gangster Ruby Dee was nominated for Academy Award.
Broadway Producer Tom Kirdahy, Terrence McNally (Mothers and Sons) and even Broadway Global were all present as Broadway showed respect to the iconic leader of arts and Civil Rights, Ruby Dee. We share the live video of Broadway dimming the lights for all those we have lost. Many have never seen a Broadway tribute of dimming the marquee lights. Broadway Global shares the Ruby Dee tribute for all those artists we have lost. "It was beautiful, powerful and moving that Broadway's finest from authors, producers and critics all came together for just one moment to honor and respect Ruby Dee." Theatre Chat.
Broadway Global had a special invite to the 2014 Tony Awards. We invited Marquise Neal the young star of "Kinky Boots" who shared his exclusive review here on examiner. At the 2014 Tony Award rehearsal we were honored with the "In Memoriam". The Tony Award tribute played during commercial breaks, and many went to social media to express how unhappy they were with the Tony Awards not showing the "In Memoriam" during the live telecast. Broadway Global shared our exclusive on the 2014 Tony Award "In Memoriam". The Tony Awards producers shared the tribute on their website, and posted the "In Memoriam" on You Tube allowing you to have social media control, and share the tribute to wider numbers than even the Tony Awards.
Just like this Broadway Global tribute video for Ruby Dee is is our responsibility as arts lovers and culturalist to keep artists memories alive by sharing tributes, videos, performances, films... Ruby Dee was a member of NAACP, Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Dee was honored with many Lifetime Achievement Awards, including the Freedom Award from The National Civil Rights Museum.
Ruby Dee was born Ruby Ann Wallace in Cleveland, Ohio in 1922. Ruby was raised in Harlem, joined the American Negro Theater. Ruby Dee worked with Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte just to name a few. Most remember Ruby Dee from the film The Jackie Robinson Story. "Let us not forget Ruby Dee, a true life humanitarian who has changed this globe society for eternity. Please share the Ruby Dee tribute video for all those we have lost!" Broadway Global.

The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" cast was in a car accident last week. Sugar Bear, Mama June, Alana and Pumpkin all received injuries. According to a Jan. 13 Facebook post, Mama June shared with fans that Pumpkin is back at the hospital.
Pumpkin, who just turned 14, suffered severe bruising to her chest. Her mother reported she's also had severe panic attacks since the accident. Mama June says they are now dealing with "post severe concussion stuff" and the girl has been admitted to the hospital so doctors can try to figure out what is going on.
Alana ("Honey Boo Boo" herself) hit her head during the accident. Mama June said she and Sugar Bear also received injuries and they all suffered from soreness. However, Pumpkin is the main concern now.
Mama June says she has new respect for parents of special needs children after a week of answering the same questions repeatedly from medical professionals, caring for her injured children and trying to keep a positive attitude.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is back on the air Jan. 16.

Sony Ericsson CS8 (C905) coming to T-Mobile USA
It looks like AT&T is not the only US carrier that wants to release the Sony Ericsson C905.
The FCC has just approved the Sony Ericsson CS8, which is a C905 that works on T-Mobile's GSM and AWS 3G bands.
Even more, we can see a sticker with "TMO" on the CS8, as well as a myFaves logo in its User Manual.
So it's almost certain that the fourth largest North American operator will launch the handset sometime later this year.
When released, the CS8 / C905 will be T-Mobile's second 8MP camera phone – the first one is Samsung Memoir, reviewed by us here.
Now we have to wait and see which carrier will launch the slider first: AT&T or T-Mobile?

"Android has nothing to do with Linux"
What !
"somehow you think an astronauts "real work......."
I'm amazed that a Vogon doesn't know about working in space, mind they are a right bunch of bureaucrats.
"great idea if you don't mind spending weeks rewriting drivers and other crap to get it to work at all "
You do a lot of that do you ? I don't seem to need to !
Standard plain glass is silica (silicon dioxide)
NO it isn't - it's a mix of sodium and calcium silicates + various other bibs and bobs
"and a microwave resonator to detect the emissions from the atoms' electrons as they change energy levels as part of the radioactive decay."
"and a microwave resonator to detect the emissions from the atoms' electrons as they change energy levels" -Fixed
I read it as "carved out zilch in tablets"
"Have you seen how big RTFs can get when you start including pictures?"
Have you seen how big anything can get when you start including pictures? - fixed.
What's different about rtf+pics and Word documents+pics ?
If the document in question is the 38 page one ( in Dutch ?) I find that in LO 3.6 running under OpenSUSE 12.3 -32 bit. the document occupies 24MB more than an empty document on initial loading. Scrolling this increases memory use to ~50MB but then this stabilizes and on further scrolling the memory use varies in the range 30 -50 MB. Scrolling a lot uses ~75% cpu but that's on an old 1.6 GHz Celeron laptop with 1GB memory.
I don't know if this is a 64-bit version issue - I'll try when I'm back home - but I can't reproduce on this laptop.
Hello AC - what do you think ?
The Vogon & RICHTO often post as AC judging by their syntax, bad grammar and general ranting - who, indeed, are you ?
AC gives advice - why would anyone listen ?
" I can't see Chemist ever admitting any problems with his installs."
Of course I had problems - in the early days compiling kernels, graphics adapters always had some sort of issue or other. I'm sure if I needed some exotic hardware now I might well have problems.
But I do a little research, don't install new distros immediately they come out and sometimes need to be patient. (for example when I got a then new Canon 550D, Dave Craw's RAW converter dcraw wouldn't handle it, a week or two later it did). On the other hand some hardware has been easier to install like my 3G dongle, where plenty of people have complained about Windows installation.
BTW "Well, it works fine for me" are usually avoiding the issue"
Which 'issue' - if people are having problems that can be one or more of LOTS of issues - we are not going to be able to sort that out here. All individuals can do in most circumstances is report their experiences - you have mine.
Thanks for being AC by the way it really boosts your credibility !
" Linux on laptop sucks"
OpenSUSE works on all laptops I've tried - admittedly only 4 of which the current Lenovo 3000 N100 runs 12.3, Asus 901 runs, at present 11.3. WiFi works fine, sleep, 3G dongle, bluetooth all fine. I didn't select the hardware specifically for Linux other than the 901.
"nb - did you know Windows Phone is now outselling Blackberry by almost 6:1 in the US? (07% market share versus 4.1%)"
Ah, that would explain this graph then, no wait
"Yep - by miles: http://blog.laptopmag.com/windows-phone-sales-see-global-gains-while-blackberry-falters"
The main thing that table seems to show is how badly both Blackberry AND MS are doing
"I simply don't believe this"
Believe what you like - I'm a physical scientist and not used to being economical with the truth. I regularly use the command-line for all sorts of jobs but, with the exception of the Android in a VM I haven't used the command-line to INSTALL a distro for years. I have stuck with SUSE however.
You don't have to believe me plenty of other people here have stated exactly the same.
Commercial software is different - it's down to the developers and in any case isn't the same as installing a distro. I've used some extremely expensive protein modeling software that was rather a handful to install and use.
You are joking ? How many Linux desktops have telnet activated by default - none I've used since ~~1998
"It was about 10 years ago."
Right !
"I must just be really unlucky with my choice of machines"
Well I've installed on a dual-core atom ITX, Asus netbook, 5 misc desktops and Lenovo & HP laptops. I've got 3G dongles, USB/serial convertors, Epson scanner/printer, 3 WiFi , laser printer and heaps more all without problems. Maybe the distribution ?
"due in part to all the command line pissing about to get it working properly"
Just to clarify - I've installed Linux ~6 times a year since ~2000 without needing to use the command-line. That's almost always SUSE or OpenSUSE. The only exception to this was installing x86 Android to a VM when a bit of tinkering was needed to get the networking going.
"due in part to all the command line pissing about to get it working properly"
Definitely ethanol/water/LOX. As stated above peroxide (+ permanganate) to generate steam for the pumps
"sorry, I mean a driver for each linux fragment of 1%"
AFAIK the drivers are the same for all distros and are distributed with the kernel
"- and which brand of laptop is that?"
Well mine are a Lenovo 3000 N100 and an Asus 901 and yes everything works every time
AFAIK ( I'm traveling and don't have access to my usual references)
C +2H2 > CH4 is exothermic by ~~75kJ/mol so at NTP it need energy to split. At 1000C it looks as though the equilibrium allows at least some hydrogen and carbon to exist and be separable. There will be some entropic gain going to hydrogen and carbon so that may compensate somewhat.
"roughly an order of magnitude more patches to contend with"
Well of course they have, ALL the software is capable of being patched, mostly I might add for improvements not security problems. But this goes on in the background as the distributions are updated. I installed OpenSUSE 12.3 a week ago ( that's about 6GB of software I have installed ) and each day has produced 1-10 updates but they don't cause me any probs. and of course hardly ever require reboots.
"I wouldn't mind so much if they were stealing from big faceless corporations rather than innocent members of the public."
I think you actually meant "I wouldn't mind so much if they were stealing from innocent members of the public by causing big faceless corporations to pass on the costs of fraud".
"Is Reuters lying?"
Someone is ! Just because Germany may have produced 50% of it's requirement on one light load day on a sunny day in May does not mean that 50% of German electricity is produced by solar.
Reuters was reporting not understanding. Germany produces most of it's electricity from coal & gas. The most generous estimates of all renewables is ~20%
Compiled by Prof. Bruno Burger, Fraunhofer ISE
August 30, 2012
PV plants produced 19.5 TWh electricity in 2011. This is an increase of 65% compared to 2010. The share of solar energy of the gross power generation was 3.2%. In 2011 PV produced more energy than hydro power for the first time. Wind turbines produced 46.5 TWh in 2011 and increased their production by 23% compared to 2010. The share of wind energy of the gross power generation was 7.6%. Wind energy is the strongest renewable energy source in Germany.
"Germany now produces more than half of it electricity from solar alone "
Nonsense !
"Solar already rivals existing hydro in Germany and solar PV's contribution is increasing dramatically. In 2011 it supplied 3% of total generation in Germany and is expected to reach 4% or more of total generation in 2012."
"pretend you have a dish a couple of hundred kilometres across"
That's for angular resolution, but it has a small collecting area so weak signal. The SKA has that and much more AND an actual collecting area of 1 square kilometre.
That's a very rough summary of my knowledge but then I'm a chemist ( Einstein said that the trouble with chemistry was that it was too difficult for chemists"
Well I see what you mean !
By the way has anyone read the book " Pyke : The Unknown Genius" or some similar title
" Build one out of pykrete. " - that's COOL !
"Do you honestly think if you told them to feck off .."
They might think you have some backbone, are prepared to be different and adaptable
"Disaster Area, a plutonium rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones, are generally held to be not only the loudest rock band in the Galaxy, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind at all. Regular concert goers judge that the best sound balance is usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves play their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stays in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet.
Their songs are on the whole very simple and mostly follow the familiar theme of boy-being meets girl-being beneath a silvery moon, which then explodes for no adequately explored reason.
Many worlds have now banned their act altogether, sometimes for artistic reasons, but most commonly because the band's public address system contravenes local strategic arms limitations treaties.
This has not, however, stopped their earnings from pushing back the boundaries of pure hypermathematics, and their chief research accountant has recently been appointed Professor of Neomathematics at the University of Maximegalon, in recognition of both his General and his Special Theories of Disaster Area Tax Returns, in which he proves that the whole fabric of the space- time continuum is not merely curved, it is in fact totally bent. "
Thanks Douglas
"A product that actually cures your condition (so you don't need to keep buying it) is actually a failure "
It must be nice to be so far removed from detailed knowledge of medical conditions to be able comfortably believe that.
There are really only two classes of condition. Acute - usually infections by viruses, bacteria and fungi. Viruses are hard but some short course treatments are available for some. Bacteria and fungi can be tackled by short courses although the nature of the organism or location of the infection can often require longer treatments esp. some fungal infections due to the difficulty of achieving therapeutic levels in, for example nails.
Some cancers can also be treated as acute problems depending on the mechanism being attacked.
Chronic conditions are very common, a product of life-style, genetics and environment. Reversing the disease in these conditions is MUCH less likely. A good example would be osteoarthritis where the damage to the joint may never be reparable. Here the aim of treatment may be to slow down the degeneration and ease pain. Ultimately large joints are best treated by replacements. Other chronic conditions like maturity onset diabetes again can't be simply reversed by drug treatment and in any case may require large scale changes to diet & exercise .
Ultimately many of the diseases may be tackled by vaccinations, gene therapy, stem-cell therapy, antibodies and life-style changes - these are still in many cases unknowns and potentially expensive unknowns.
By the way the current worries about antibiotic resistance are partly the result of the cost research combined with the limited returns due to the short treatment courses. The manufacturing costs of new, effective antibiotics can be enormous. I heard of one where the manufactured cost of the drug - which was enormous due to the length of the synthesis - was itself dwarfed by the cost of getting the lyophilised drug into a sterile sealed glass phial.
"I stayed with SUSE & openSUSE over the years and their default KDE desktops"
Ditto. Only time I used Gnome extensively was at work with RedHat.
"Interesting as I don' see that at all. I specifically moved the port to get rid of all the stupid login scans in the log..."
Same here. Although I see attempts all the time on standard port I've never seen ANY on my (very non-standard port). Mind of course it's just one of the mitigation measures and I certainly wouldn't rely on it alone.
"Most routers I've come across only provide a ssh login on the internal interface."
Eh ?
How would you get in from outside then. I have mine set-up to port forward ssh to an internal server for the purposes of remote access and reverse proxy use. Nothing wrong with ssh as long as it's up-to-date and has sufficient security - the real problem is exposing telnet or web interfaces to the outside by default with weak usernames/passwords
" 99% of Windows exploits require user interaction, whereas 99% of Linux exploits don't."
By the way you've SO missed the point. These are devices configured badly with open telnet ports and bad defaults. The chances ANY of them run Windows seems vanishingly small.
" they have essentially no commercial competition"
Yes I know the reasons for that. I was trying to point out the consequences not the reason. The fact that most of the world has managed to lock itself into a very unhealthy situation bodes very badly for costs and innovation. Even Trevor is suggesting giving MS even more money ( & power of course) in exchange for a few crumbs, admittedly crumbs he wants.
I don't know what can be done about it in the short term other than the change to mobile devices and a much healthier mix of OSs - I'm just glad that me and mine are completely out of it.
Your answer, wonderful as it might seem to you, still doesn't address the problem that Microsoft essentially holds the world in a grip of their own deriving. They are out to make as much money as possible of course but they have essentially no commercial competition and up to date they have been able to do much as they like - that's now changing.
By the way you seem awfully familiar , with the same stilted views, right down to the icon. Are you of the prostetnic class really ?
"Imagine if there was no Microsoft"
I'd just settle for several competing vendors so that 'lock-in' didn't happen. Funny how 'everyone' ( by which I actually mean WP supporters) insist that the mobile phone market needs several competing companies
"But can't a 3D printer make a copy of the object to be cast in iron"
Don't see why not - the only complication is scaling the pattern to allow for the shrinkage of different metals in casting. These patterns used to be made in wood and various non-standard rulers were used to get the correct size for the finished product AFAIK
@the J to the C; The Vogon
I think you'd be better rushing over to some of the other forums where MS is under direct attack !
"Never noticed this problem on any of them."
Thanks for reminding me about VNC - I've just opened a session to my dual-core Atom fileserver and even though this can be a little laggy depending on what else is going on the KDE menus are fine.
(For anyone complaining that I have a desktop on a fileserver the machine actually has many functions some of which are better with a GUI)
"However there is no compelling reason for the average Joe Public to switch "
There is no likelihood 'Joe Public' as you call them will switch anymore than if all PCs came with Linux installed and people had to choose to switch to Windows.
1% market share, whatever that means, is a great percentage when people have to CHOOSE to change.
Given how disparaging you are about Linux I'm amazed you feel the need to bang on about it as though it threatens you in some way.
"Ah I see. "Works for me, thus the other poster must be a liar (despite their supplying evidence)""
Not calling anyone a liar, I can only report what I find, no menu problems on 6 different machines with various OpenSUSEs/KDEs. After many years of using KDE I've never seen this problem
How about other KDE users ?
""Works for me, thus the other poster must be a liar "
It does work for me, further on reading the bug-reports I can't see what they are talking about.
Click on a menu, menu drops down, slide down to a sub-menu item, sub-menu opens, slide across, ditto if there are any further sub-sub menus. No lag, no problems.
