What about contacts, apps, pics, etc? Do you lose those? Do you have to do a restore?
Will be months and months before there is a jailbreak out, and highly unlikely there is one this year for the iPhone 5 or even just iOS 6 in general.
Try weeks, they have already jailbroken the iphone 5, just working out the tweaks for mass comsumption. iOS6 was jailbroken during beta, so just given em a few more weeks to push it out to everyone.
Does anyone have any fonts they recommend on Bytafont?
No, the A6 is nowhere near jailbroken. In fact, there is no current exploit for iOS 6 on any device.
You might get a jailbreak on the A5X chip this year, but highly unlikely on the A6, and the Chronic Dev Team generally likes to release one program for all devices, so if the A5X jailbreak is done, it likely still wouldn't be released until the A6 was also ready. If you are jailbroken, you didn't update to iOS 6 on your A5 device for this reason.
It will be similar to the iPhone 4S, which was about 7 months and launched in May.
The popular iOS hacker, pod2g, who recently took the stage at JailbreakCon to discuss jailbreak techniques past and present along with the future of iOS jailbreaking revealed news that will disappoint many. Pod2g revealed that there is currently no working untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.
Now this might leave many of you wondering what happened to the previous picture we saw of an iPhone 5 running Cydia. According to pod2g, what we saw was proof of what he called a "failbreak," which he defined as being something for developers only with no possible way to release the method to the public in its current state. To put it into simpler terms, there is no iOS 6 jailbreak for regular iOS device owners at the moment.
Although there is no concrete news of an iOS 6 jailbreak just yet, this doesn't exactly mean we won't be seeing one ever. It just means that we'll need to be patient and should not expect it to be released for at least a few months.
One iPhone thread to rule them all -- post all iPhone discussions here.
Developer jailbreak bruh.
Totally different.
You must have missed the Jailbreak Developers Conference this weekend huh? I'll quote some info for you since you are out of the loop with how this process works.
Try weeks, they have already jailbroken the iphone 5, just working out the tweaks for mass comsumption. iOS6 was jailbroken during beta, so just given em a few more weeks to push it out to everyone.
Besides the months, how was my original statement wrong?
iOS6 has been jailbroken in beta several times including in the most recent beta 4 with Cydia working.
Reading comprehension works wonders...
To jailbreak your iPhone 3GS/4S/5 (running iOS 6 or either iPhone 4S/5 version of 6**) and/or your iPad 2 / iPad 3 (all Wi-Fi only, GSM & CDMA devices supported; must be running iOS 6**) – select one of the links below to download your Absinthe A5/A6 untethered jailbreak. Simply unzip the file, then install on your iOS A5/A6 mobile device with one click of a button!
**NOTE: If you haven't yet heeded the advice I gave weeks ago – before you take one step further, upgrade your firmware to iOS 6 NOW! (Unless you need an iPhone5 Unlock) Also, we don't mean to beat you over the head with this warning, but please remember: you should not update to iOS 6.0.1 when it's released, or you will lose your jailbreak! Bookmark our GreenPois0n blog now, and be the first to know the next time we advise our jailbreak users to safely update their iOS firmware.
oh well that sucks. that is what they said to use in that long arse jailbreak thread last year :( Hope my info didn't get stolen :( x2
Because a failbreak is not a jailbreak, like Pod2G said, "Pod2g revealed that there is currently no working untethered jailbreak for iOS 6".
Yes it does, you should try it sometime instead of looking like an idiot to a Cydia developer.
He said "untethered" jailbreak. Jailbreaking tethered is still jailbreaking, dumbass.
There is a chance the non A6 devices see one, but doubtful. If they do, it will likely be tethered.
They were able to get cydia loaded and working, that's jailbreak.
Yes, it's for developers because a ton of other stock shite doesn't work when they do it this way. Which is why they got to tweak it.
No, it's called a failbreak. Again, not the same thing. You really have no clue what you are talking about please stop.
NO. How many times do I have to tell you no? That has NOTHING to do with it. There is no fricking tweaking to be done, a failbreak is not possible for a public release, PERIOD, no tweaking, no "Stock shite doesn't work". I am a fricking developer for the 2nd time, stop misleading people in this thread.

Starting Position: Lie on your side on a mat with both legs straight so that your hips and shoulders are stacked and vertical with the floor. Your spine and head should be aligned. Rest your head resting on the mat or upon a small pillow or rolled-up towel if necessary. Bend your top knee to create a 90-degree bend at both the hip and knee. Rest the inside of that knee on the mat or upon a raised surface (e.g. rolled-up towel, block, etc.). Reach both arms out directly in front you at chest level, stacking your hands one on top of the other.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine in a neutral position and maintain this engagement throughout the exercise. Gently exhale. Slowly rotate your trunk and upper arm until your belly button faces the ceiling and your upper arm extends out to the other side, touching or slightly off the floor. Avoid rotating your hips. If your upper thigh is sliding backward as you rotate, the hips are rotating. Placing a raised surface under the inside of the upper knee will help control this hip rotation. Do not allow the low back to arch. Keeping your abdominal muscles engaged will help prevent this.
Keep your shoulder blades pulled back and down throughout the exercise. Hold this position briefly, then bend the elbow of the lower arm so that the back of the arm is on the floor / mat, and the forearm is vertical to the floor. Reach the other arm toward the ceiling, but keep the shoulder blade down.
Gently exhale. Keeping your shoulder blades, trunk and hips stabilized, perform a series of push-pull movements with your arms:
(a) Press the lower arm upwards, extending the elbow without allowing the scapula to move forward
(b) Pull the upper arm downwards towards the chest, bending the elbow without allowing the scapula to move backwards.
Exercise Variation: The exercise intensity can be increased by using dumbbells.
To maximize the benefits of this exercise and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stabilize the shoulder blades, trunk and hips and control movement at the shoulders. Follow the instructions provided carefully.

Derived from "groupees", a congrigation of "the cool" people, often travel around in large groups together and live down the beach. When ever they see another "groupee" or "groupette", they think it necessary to go directly to that particular person completely forgetting who they are with. Also, if they have "groupee wives", they constantly hang around them and it is impossible to talk to them during that process.

This putter is very easy to line-up with the hole. If you are good at reading greens, then this putter should work for you. It took me a bit to get used to the speed of the ball coming off the face, but now I'm sinking putts I wasn't making before. It's not the smoothest feel at contact but the putter promotes forward spin and that spin has saved me quite a few strokes on balls that would have jumped over the hole w/ my previous putter.
There is a reason this putter is being used by the pros-it has a hot face and sends the ball on the exact path. I have had rounds of 26 putts or less several times since I got mine.
Easy to roll, easy to line-up, decent feel.

FYI Features: UTSA staff member and brother collaborate on sci-fi collection
By Rebecca Luther
Editor, Sombrilla Magazine
(Aug. 23, 2006)--When they were boys, Lawrence and John Buentello's mother used to take them to the public library, where her children would pick out armloads of books and check out as many as library policy allowed. Their tastes in reading were diverse; whatever they could get their hands on was what they were interested in.
"We'd read everything from Kipling to Shakespeare to Isaac Asimov," John said, his brother Lawrence adding with a laugh, "Fortunately, at the time we didn't have any idea there was an academic dividing line between types of literature."
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Their diverse interests as readers have carried over to having diverse interests as writers. In 2004, Lawrence, who works as a library assistant in the reference department at UTSA's John Peace Library, and John, a Ph.D. student in English at UTSA, together published a collection of science fiction, fantasy and horror stories, "Binary Tales." Now they have co-written a sci-fi novel, "Reproduction Rights," that they are currently marketing to publishers.
The Buentello brothers, who both earned undergraduate English degrees from the University of the Incarnate Word, began collaborating on genre fiction stories when John was 12 and Lawrence only 10. By the time they were teenagers they were regularly submitting their stories to publishers.
Though they've honed their writing skills over the years, they say their collaboration process has remained pretty much the same; one of them comes up with an idea, together they brainstorm a plot, and then they take turns writing until the manuscript is finished. When they were kids, they tooks turns at the family's typewriter; these days they pass manuscripts back and forth through e-mail.
After writing together for 25 years, they say, they've learned to set their own egos as writers aside and to trust each other's opinions.
"We've come to the point where we handle collaborations very professionally, I think," Lawrence said. "We both understand that our aim in the end is to produce the best work possible."
"It just means we use bigger words when we fight," John adds, with a laugh.
They both have their own writing projects. John, who also is a third-grade teacher at Jackson-Keller Elementary, enjoys writing children's stories and has written a number of biographies for a children's biographical encyclopedia.
Lawrence published his own short story collection, "Ghosts of the American Dream" in 2003 and has finished writing a mainstream literary novel, "South of the Moon." But, they say, they still have as much fun collaborating on stories as they did when they were kids.
"My brother has his own voice [as a writer], I have my own voice," Lawrence said. "But the stories we collaborate on have a unique voice of their own. It's almost like having a third writer."
John adds that having a writing partner is a certain remedy for writer's block. "You always, as writers, reach a point in the story where you say, 'What next?' When you're writing with someone, they'll answer that question for you."
Though they are continuing with their own writing projects -- and juggling those with work and family obligations -- Lawrence and John's priority now is to get "Reproduction Rights" published.
Of the novel, John said, "It looks at issues of cloning, personal identity, the ability to choose your own destiny -- and it turns it all into this politically-intrigued, backstabbing, nailbiting, rollercoaster ride that takes you all the way from the Supreme Court to island jungles to stormy deserts to the heart of New York City."
Though both Lawrence's and their collaborative short story collections were published through print-on-demand publisher iUniverse, they are marketing the novel to traditional publishing houses in hopes of reaching a wider audience. They hope that their writing can inspire young readers the way they were when they went to the public library.
"When I was a kid, one of my most favorite things was to open up a book and read something that changed the world for me." John said. "To be able to say maybe that's what I'm doing for another reader, that's a pretty good life."
Editor's note: "Binary Tales" and "Ghosts of the American Dream" are available at the UTSA Library.

Town Square
Patty Fisher Column About Priuses Does Disservice
Original post made by Prius Owner, Old Palo Alto, on Feb 20, 2007
Web Link
She refers to Prius owners as "smug" and concludes that the "thrill is gone" in owning a Prius because now so many people have them. As Patty puts it, Prius owners are no longer part of "an exclusive enviro club." Patty paints a cynical portrait of competition between those who own Priuses and those who don't. This kind of thinking is a real disservice to the kind of serious consideration we should all be giving to global warming concerns (not to mention national security issues arising from over-dependence on foreign oil) and what we as individuals can do to make a difference. Patty ignores the fact that owning a Prius might be a good thing for lots of reasons other than social status or carpool lane privileges. Prius owners aren't interested in blaming Patty if "Capitola falls into the sea," as she claims. They're interested in doing something to help prevent Capitola falling into the sea. This isn't a blame game Prius owners want to play, this is serious stuff, and deserves journalistic respect, rather than cheap accusations. If more Priuses are on the road, this should give everyone hope, not disappointment or reason to gloat. And in shopping for new cars, there are still plenty of incentives to buy a Prius. Just think of what saving all those gallons of gas can do for our pocketbooks, our health, our environment, our national security. Patty does a disservice to her reading public, and to the good name of journalism, by engaging in such a superficial look at what might drive a Prius owner to own a Prius. I'd like to see her re-consider her approach to this issue and think more substantively about what is at stake.

Prius Owner,
You've got to lighten up a little. So you have a Prius: it's just a car! Even if it gets more mileage than your neighbor's Honda (or Mercedes), you're still putting a couple of hundred times as much global warming C02 into the air than the third world denizen who will be most at risk as the earth warms.
If you can't take a little clumsy satire by a newspaper columnist about your possessions, you take yourself way too seriously.

The Prius is a gas hawg and fouls the air. I used 3 oz. of chain oil on my bike last year.

Hulkamania: I agree. Prius owners seem obsessed with maximizing their gas mileage, to the point of not using turn signals or headlights. My bike is still WAAAAY greener than their car, no matter how much they try to squeeze out of it. And, for the price of a Prius I could practically buy new bikes and give them away when they get dirty.

Sometimes newspaper writers have to write something to earn their paycheck, so they just blather out some thought that has crossed their mind, regardless of whether it makes any sense.
You will be happier if you take the media less seriously. It hasn't been worth paying attention to for the last decade or so.

Well, I figured that column would touch a nerve with some Prius owners, but I never expected it to provide fodder for Town Square. For the record, some of my best friends drive Priuses. And if you want to join the debate about the column, go to www.mercurynews.com and click on "columnists."

Apparently she doesn't know the origins of this saying or that it is now only used ironically. And she thinks she can tell people (not invite them, tell them) where to write about a public column. Sad to say, this is not an impressive performance.

I own a Prius and don't feel any sort of disappointment that there are more of them on the road. The more the merrier! If other owners are like I am, we love our cars. It's not about being "unique." I'm happy to see more people choose hybrids of all makes and models.

I'm not sure I've read a more cynical and small-minded column than the Mercury column by Fisher. I doubt any Prius owner thinks they are saving the world by owning one, but I can assure you that when I next buy a car it will be a hybrid. Why NOT buy a car that gets the highest possible gas mileage if it serves your needs? Fisher's column reads as if someone told her to write something that would piss people off, no matter how juvenile or nonsensical it might be. This is part of what I can't stand about the Mercury. Why not celebrate the fact that so many people are choosing hybrids?

John L,
"Celebrate" the kind of car you drive? I think you're also close to taking yourself way too seriously - like Prius Owner who started this thread. I drive a Porsche and really like it...but I don't think I'd ask anyone to "celebrate" it. The best thing about living in America is we have a lot of choices when it comes to what to drive, what to eat, what to wear and where to live, etc. The fact that we have choices is something worth celebrating...but I find it difficult to get into the self-congratulatory mindset of some who think their choices are so superior that we should all celebrate them too.

I would love to have a Steamer or a Stirling, but that's just the engineer in me. I like the Prius, would like it better if it was a plug-in Prius and would drool if it was a high speed diesel generator/plug in. I am a firm believer in free choice in selecting cars and mates.
a resident of Professorville
on Feb 22, 2007 at 4:03 pm
I don't believe anyone is arguing that there shouldn't be freedom of choice in buying cars. My point is that Fisher's column basically put down people who opt to buy the Toyota Prius. We wouldn't think of putting someone down for walking or biking to work. So why put down people who look for ways to reduce gasoline consumption?

No, her column calls out the smugness of Prius owners who feel "oh so superior" because they bought a specific sort of car.

So maybe Fisher doesn't like Toyota, period. Toyota has surpassed the American market in importing their cars and making money off of us Americans with different gizmos and gagets for eons now. (Talk about smug!) I heard that Japan will not let Americans import American cars into their country..anyone know that as fact?..Besides, Americans would find it hard to compete with the pricing, we know that the labor pay is quite different...
Prius were hard to get in the beginning,(supply and demand).. the local rental car company here in Palo Alto even sold back their Prius cars they were renting out as the demand was so great for the gas saving gimmic cars.......Yes, we all know the big boys that supply all the oil and gas could not survive and live as laviously as they have done for the last so many, many years if most of the public switched to electric cars, solar cars, other means of transportation that does not use their products.......But the probability of that happening anytime soon is still so far off in the future, even though Detroit automakers have the knowledge to do so.. too bad for all of us who suffer from all the pollution, we are just having to buy what they allow us to buy if we decide to purchase an auto of ANY type.
I support Fisher in her right to free speech, free thoughts....thank god we still have that in our world...whether or not we walk, drive, run...smug or not.

Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) Review
I came across this certification a couple of months ago, and it seemed interesting. The startup I'm working for focuses on cloud security, plus the cert is backed by the CSA, so it looked really useful. I'm not one to get a new cert just to add letters to my resume (otherwise I would've gotten a CEH!), but if I can learn new skills and topics then that's what I'm concerned with. Given that this certification is so new, having it on a resume probably won't help pass an HR screen (a search of Monster and Dice returned no job mentioning a CCSK), but I was hopeful that the stuff I learned for the CCSK might be beneficial for the technical portion of an interview. Plus it seemed relatively simple to achieve for a few reasons:
1. The certification exam questions come entirely from 2 freely available documents, no need to pay for an expensive class to get the material.
2. The exam only costs $295 and the voucher doesn't expire. You can pay for it now and take it in a year.
3. The exam can be taken from home, no need to go to a testing center.
4. You get two chances to take the exam, if you fail the first time, you can take it again without having to pay an additional fee.
Now on to the material.
The CCSK certification tests knowledge from 2 documents, the first of which is this:
A 76-page document written by the CSA which presents the 13 domains tested by the certification. The first "domain" is really just an overview of cloud computing which provides some useful material, such as characteristics of cloud computing and the differences between public and private clouds. While useful, the standard Wikipedia article on cloud computing is easier to understand and is more thorough. If you didn't know what cloud computing was before reading this, I doubt you'd fully understand it after.
The remaining 12 domains are:
1. Governance and enterprise risk management
2. Legal and electronic discovery
3. Compliance and audit
4. Information lifecycle management
5. Portability and interoperability
6. Traditional security, business continuity and disaster recovery
7. Data center operations
8. Incident response, notification and remediation
9. Application security
10. Encryption and key management
11. Identity and access management
12. Virtualization
I won't discuss each domain, but each section basically breaks down like this: A sentence or two about the security risks associated with a given domain, followed by a little discussion of how the security risks are greater for cloud computing than a typical environment. Lastly bullet-point recommendations are given to help resolve/reduce the security concerns. Note: All recommendations given are for businesses who are shopping around for a cloud service provider. THIS CERTIFICATION DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY GUIDELINES FOR SECURING YOUR OWN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE. After going through the material, I now think about it as sort of a buyer's guide for organizations looking to use cloud services.
Bottom line: Are the recommendations useful? Yes, there are suggestions like "ensure that an organization has the right to audit their cloud service provider" or "make sure that the VM images given by the provider are trusted." And then there are various recommendations that state "Make sure you put [SOME CLAUSE] in the contract." These are all important and should definitely be considered when choosing a cloud provider. But honestly, making sure things are in the contract and the right to audit should typically always be considered when using any third-party service. It seems like the majority of these recommendations, while useful, are not specific to cloud computing. While there are a few that pertain to cloud computing, such as "make sure you have the right to perform a vulnerability assessment on your applications hosted by the cloud provider", these seem to be in the minority. And I understand that not everything should be cloud-specific, I was just assuming/hoping that there would be more emphasis on cloud computing-specific issues.
The second document for the CCSK is the following:
A 125-page document written by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). I have not read this document yet. Apparently only 10% of the CCSK certification exam comes from this document (Probably because the CSA wrote the first document and they're the ones offering the certification!) Most of the people I found on the Internet who earned this cert didn't really read this and were still able to pass. Browsing through it, it seems similar to the first document, although honestly, it looks to be organized in a better manner than the first, which leads me to believe there might be less repetition. If I ever decide to take the exam, I'll definitely go through this to see what I can learn even though I probably won't be tested on it.
The Exam
I have not taken the exam. While I did learn some useful things, I don't necessarily believe I learned enough to justify earning a certification. Still for those interested, here is information on the test:
1. 50 multiple choice questions with a 1-hour time limit
2. Need 80% to pass, can retake it once for free, so 2 chances to pass
3. 70% of the exam is on the CSA document, 20% on the ENISA, and 10% on applied knowledge from material on both
4. You can use the PDFs during the exam
So did I learn something? Yes. Did I learn about cloud security issues? Yes, but only in terms of security policy issues that occur when a business uses a cloud provider, and because of that, a lot of the material seems as if it would apply to a business using any sort of third-party provider/contractor. So the information is definitely useful, but (in my opinion) not very cloud-specific. That, combined with a lot of repetition, left me feeling that cloud security was unfortunately not the focus of the material.
If anyone wants to go through the material, I would suggest reading the first domain of the CSA document, and then just the opening paragraphs of the subsequent domains without the recommendations. This way you might get the feeling that it's actually a guide for cloud security policy, instead of just a buyer's guide for businesses interested in cloud computing.
1. Simple, straightforward material that is freely available
2. Useful information in regards to the security policy implications a business faces when using a cloud service provider
3. Gives some useful policy recommendations that can apply to a number of areas, not just cloud computing
4. Test is cheap, can be taken from home, and you get two chances to pass
1. Repetitive
2. Some material (in particular many of the policy recommendations) are not very cloud-specific
3. Structure of the material seems to put more emphasis on the recommendations, which (in my opinion), can make it feel more like a "cloud computing buyer's guide" as opposed to a security certification
4. Non-technical, policy-only certification (which I suppose could be a plus depending on your interests)
5. No information for a cloud service provider that wants to secure their own cloud infrastructure
6. New, so no jobs listings mention it
I hope this review is useful, let me know if anyone has any questions.

Well, to be honest every bit of it needs a repaint to be accurate. Its ROTJ SE basically, loooks like yuor missing shin tools....one of the knee darts is not the pointed one so thats wrong, chest armor needs to be mounted better velcro doesnt work very well for armor honestly, need more ammo pouches if you want it to be SE, or repaint the helmet to ROTJ, Flightsuit needs to be slightly lighter color grey, chest diamond looks 1 dimentional not thick like the armor...should be same thickness no cutout its an indentation in the middle of it...that one looks cutout. Need a proper neck seal, there may be more things but the pics are kinda small to see every detail of the guants and such. To be honest about aproval with decals you might get approved, I dont know how picky the approval process is...If I was the approving official, I would tell you all of these things though. From here Ill tell you the truth as far as what is not screen accurate at all...The Jetpack you have is an older less accurate in shape version I think mark bradley (correct me if Im wrong please) its something you may want to change in the future to a MOW or RS propmasters or Fettpride. The Helmet Id upgrade to a Fettpride premium or GMH depending on how large your head is/taste...the armor is kinda thin looking shoulders seem like theyre very thin they should look thicker then flat metal...Id look at FP or RKD (redkraytdragon) for the armor...both do ROTJ armor and guants...not sure what the guants look like up close but they have the apperance of being decent...blaster looks like it should be upgraded or refurbished with newer more accurate parts if it has a webley as a base....i dunno from the pics I cant tell whats going on with it. Cant see the girthbelt to well so can t tell you anything about it, but depending on the straping in the back it may be wrong as well...cant see side pouches so the colors may be off for SE. This is alot of stuff you may not even want to bother with just food for thought as far as making it better over all..
I think you can make it acceptable according to the 501st and I think thats what your aiming for off the bat...good luck with it.
thanks for your honesty...I have to admit, my knowledge and research of Boba costumes leaves alot to be desired. With some help, I can make it work.
Replied to your PM, yeh this suit and its different version can get confusing....but tdh has a ton of resources and a pretty good staff, and membership to back it up. And Rafal Fett on top of all that, who is a walking fett encyclopedia....I can remember things easily and know alot but he is rediculous to my standards....if he makes a fett it shall be top notch.
So in a nut shell, I need to decide between a ROTJ and ROTJ SE....
Boba Fett character(s) which is a huge task and we already have great info provided for us by fellow members and non-TDH friends. And about that 'top notch' suit of mine... what a great dream!
Regarding the suit, F4R already did a honest and realistic description and he offered the necessary adjustments and corrections to achieve a better and more accurate suit. I would suggest to read and learn a lot from others great experience and minor failures. There are some WiPs (Work in Progress) going on in the Boba Fett sections which will be a great starting point. Take your time and always focus at one part of the suit, but also keep an eye on the overall look, this way you will do a decent job, especially for yourself.
Keep on hunting!
thanks. My ultimate goal is to get it approved. after that, I will tweak it here and there to make it better.

The standards of the 501st are less than the standards of the members here, in most cases. Depends on who your garrisons gml is, really. I have been in the 501st for 2 Yeats now, and constantly upgrading. The only part of my Fett I am still using from my submission pics is my jetpack, ive been consyantly upgrading. The Fett you have now looks better than my originally submitted and approved boba. Good start. Watch the cargo hold like a hawk and you wont bteak the bank.
thanks for the tip.
Hey folks. Some quick questions for you. Are the gloves for ROTJ Boba something I can pick up at a local store or are they something that is custome made? also, the chest light, who would be a good source for that? thanks.....
For the chest light is fettronic (here's his site ==> Fettronics)
For the gloves you might try to buy something similar, but there are members who do specific gloves (sadly I don't recall for the moment who).


text: FC4 - perfect suetup.... Hi folks, all works great until I try to forward email to many same domain email addresses. IE: We have an email address that is used to forward the same message to all employees (from the boss to employees, the boss sends 1 email to the "staff@... email address, which in-turn forwards a copy of that email to 25+ employees). I was using the actual email address to forward to (25+ email addresses) and the first time, it crashed the computer! The second time around, I did forwarding to 1 user, IE: [email protected] I then did all 25 [email protected] Email forwarding seems ok when forwarding to email on another server. Tested some more: 1) forwards fine (5 email addreses) to other email server with minimal resource usage. 2) sending email to just 1 local email from 1 local email (just 1 email) system jumps to 100% cpu usage...

I am a newbee beekeeper and in September I noticed a lot of dead drones, which I expected since the workers throw them out. In the past 10 days though I am noticing a much greater number of dead worker bees at the entrance landing board This is every day, anywhere from 15-30 dead worker bees. These are small hives, with one brood box and medium for each hive.
Should I be concerned or is this the start of CCD or whatever?

Capture WEP and WPA association / authentication traffic
I managed to get the capturing laptop configured and authenticated to my wireless router (WPA). I also got my second laptop authenticated but didn't see any of the association/authentication packets when I ran Wireshark in BT3. I set the capturing laptop wireless in promiscuous mode. This is Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG.
I ran the test again but didn't authenticate my capturing laptop first. It didn't make any difference as I didn't see any traffic when the second laptop authenticated.
Finally, I captured traffic when the capturing laptop authenticated. All I saw were a series of EAPOL frames. There were no beacons, probes or frames containing the SSID. I have seen a pcap file of the authentication process so I know that these additional frames should be present.
I just wonder if my Intel Wireless card isn't playing nicely with Wireshark. Any tips? I hasten to add that this is for my own education, rather than illicit activity in a coffee shop (etc.)!

Reich offers a bold plan for defeating this politics of fear and favor. He provides clear answers to the barrage of accusations with which Radcons have been pummeling liberals. He analyzes the efficient Radcon political organization and their propoganda savvy, and lays out what liberals can learn from each.
Reich demonstrates how far the radical conservative agenda is from representing the national will, and explains how American liberalism can, and must, become once again ascendant in American politics.
©2004 Robert B. Reich; (P)2004 HighBridge Company
"Reich's distinctive perspective provides insights targeted well beyond November's election." (Publishers Weekly)
"His experience as a government appointee gives him credibility; his experience as a TV and radio pundit gives him considerable style as narrator. Blessed with a pleasant voice, he reads expressively." (AudioFile)
"Reason" by Robert Reich changed my life. I am a Liberal. I was raised Southern Baptist, but, even as a child, conservative views didn't make sense to me. The conservative agenda is now and has always been counterintuitive to everything The United States of America stands for: freedom, justice, democracy, security, a decent quality of life and the rule of law for all. Consequently, I've always been baffled how a few rich, powerful, corporate-backed conservative demagogs can so easily con massive numbers of Americans, whose lives would obviously be better served by Liberal programs, into embracing the virulent Far-Right's radical views and do their bidding. Robert Reich explains how we arrived at this historical low-point with such thoughtfulness and clarity that I am forever altered and eternally grateful to him.
"But you were there..."
I'd like to have liked this more, but there's two reasons I couldn't.
He starts strong, giving a litany of what he thinks is wrong with American politics and business life. But the more you listen to his positions on big business activities like Enron and WorldCom, you may find yourself thinking "but it's not like you were an outsider during all of this". Reich was in the Clinton White House. He was Secretary of Labor. He was there. Sure, Clinton didn't control the Congress, but people listen when a Cabinet Secretary talks. He didn't speak then, so he waives a bit of his moral right to speak now.
2. This book isn't actually about Why Liberals Will Win. It's about what Robert Reich thinks is wrong with conservatism. That's fine, but you may find yourself waiting for the conclusion that never comes.
This a book both liberals and conservatives should read. It explores the significance of liberalism though historical context and its relevance to present day. It also provides examples of issues through personal stories and insight. I recommend it to anyone curious to learn more about the "left", and perhaps discover a few things about their own views.
"eye opening!"
I was beginning to get disinterested with the focus on sex and sexual deviance in the early stages of the book. I decided to stick with is and was pleasantly rewarded with clear definitions and descriptions of classical liberalism and how it was different from the left. I'm more informed now. thank you.
"Masterful work of writing. Highly recommended "
Wonderful to hear Reich read his own story and talk about the defining issues of our time, even before they all play out.
"Clear Thinking Based on Facts Not Ideology"
Clear Thinking Based on Facts Not Ideology - What a change from ordinary political discourse! He gives conservatives credit where credit is due and debunks the dogma. He does the same thing in reverse. It's nice to see some hack the Gordian Knot.
"I don't know how I missed this one..."
Probably his best book so far, Robert Reich gives us some great analysis and solutions for our country's current predicament. Definitely must listen to this one.
"A little less talk, a little more action"
A good, compact book chock full o' ideas as to why Liberals SHOULD win (rather than why they necessarily WILL win) the battle for America. Mr. Reich reads well. He offers many cogent observations refuting the "radcon" agenda and promoting good, solid positive-patriotic Liberalism. I subtract a star only because he arouses your appetite for ideas as to HOW Liberals can win the battle for America without abeddin' it back down again.
Old & fat, but strong; American, Chinese, & Indian (sort of); Ph.D. in C.S.; strategy, economics & stability theory; trees & machining.
"A Draft of a Proposed New Message for the Left"
This is a proposed new message for "The Left". It's a fairly systematic broad treatment of the political issues of the day. It's probably best thought of as a good first draft more than as a fully refined message that would win elections. It probably hasn't been tested by polls and the like.
I think that political operatives should take it seriously. It might lead to a winning formula.
It made me wonder if he will run for president in 8 years.
"An Excellent Book!"
The author does a fine job in presenting his arguments. Informative and humorous, well written and well read by the author.

New on DVD: True Blood: The Complete Third Season
Available on both DVD and Blu-ray,the third season of HBO's top show is as violent, adventurous and sexually charged as ever.
Director: Alan Ball
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Studio: HBO
The vampires, shapeshifters and werewolves return to "do bad things with you," as the opening song goes, in the third season of the hit HBO show about vampires coming out of the coffin.
This time Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) takes off to Mississippi to rescue Bill (Stephen Moyer) from a powerful vampire king, Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) and the werewolves that do his bidding. Meanwhile, Tara (Rutina Wesley) has become the semi-willing love slave of a seductive vampire, Jason (Ryan Kwanten) trains to be a deputy when he's not chasing a slinky werepanther, Merlotte's owner Sam (Sam Trammell) reunites with his trashy parents and long-lost little brother who is also a shapeshifter, and Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) peddles vampire blood—"V"—for Eric (Alexander Skarsgård).
In between all the fang-banging fun in Mississippi and back home in Bon Temps, La., Sookie discovers that it's no accident that vampires want to nibble on her—she is part-fairy, and her magical blood is like liquid crack to the undead, including her beau. It all ends with a showdown at the club Fangtasia and with Bill engaged in vamp-vs.-vamp battle with the vampire queen of Louisiana (Evan Rachel Wood).
The seductive Southern decadence of True Blood continues to intoxicate with these 12 bloody-good episodes, available on both DVD and Blu-ray just in time before the fourth season premieres on HBO on June 26. The cable network's top show is still as violent and funny as it is sexually explicit and adventurous. Anything can and does go down between the True Blood characters, and part of the fun is seeing the creators fearlessly push the level of audaciousness to the brink and pull back just enough to make you thirst for another fix.
Best extras: The Blu-ray has an innovative picture-in-picture enhanced viewing mode with original, interactive content: Character Perspectives, straight from the mouths of Jessica, Andy, Tommy and Alcide; Flashback/Flash Forward, a move through time allowing for "Flashbacks" to relive pivotal moments in the series or "Flash Forwards" to reveal the significance of a certain scene; Vampire Histories/Character Bios, background stories on favorite characters in the show; and Hints/FYIs for more trivia facts, show hints and clues. The BD also includes "True Blood Lines," an interactive on-screen guide that highlights the connections between the many worlds in the series. If all of that is not enough to sink your fangs into, both the DVD and Blu-ray versions contain Snoop Dogg's hilarious video, "Oh Sookie."

Books to Books: From the Inside Out (A Guest Post)
I met Alex Rosenberg '13 almost as soon as I "met" Shimer. Alex served on the search committee for a new president for Shimer, and joined me for a very early introduction to some Shimer alums. She also served on our Board of Trustees, and ate lunch with me in… Florida! I am thrilled to have her do this guest post for us today.
At Shimer we touch a lot of books. "First Books" days were a magical thing. Students would stop by the bookstore and watch the Federal Work Study employees dispense the first few books the classes would discuss. There is so much hope and desire in this exchange. Where would the texts and the discussions about them take you? Were they really as good of reads as previous students had promised you? It reminded me of being in elementary school filling out the Scholastic Books forms. I would bring them home to my grandmother and proudly declare that I wanted to read one of everything in the pamphlet. After hours of weaning down the list she would still relent and buy me more books than she wanted to buy. Now I work on one of the other sides of the book world. I touch hundreds, if not thousands, of books every week.
So, what is the 'now' for me? At this moment I am sitting at the dining room table in a wonderful home in the most beautiful city I have ever lived in. (Number four on this list.) After graduation I took a job with Dan's Books, a rare and signed online bookstore (which can be found here) owned and operated by Dan Shiner, who serves on Shimer's Board of Trustees. Serving as one of the Student Representatives to the Board was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Plus Dan offered me the incredible job I have now!
Stanley Unwin, co-founder of the George Allen & Unwin Publishing House and the man who published the first Lord of the Rings book, is rumored to have said, "To write books is easy, it requires only pen and ink and the ever-patient paper. To print books is a little more difficult, because genius so often rejoices in illegible handwriting. To read books is more difficult still, because of a tendency to go to sleep. But the most difficult task of all that a mortal man can embark on is to sell a book." Now, I don't know if I agree with his assessment on the ease of writing, but I understand his final remark.
I have no connection to most of these books other than the fact that I purchased them somewhere and am selling them somewhere else. I touch them, describe them, shelve them, pack them, and send them away. It is not the same excitement as the Scholastic book flier, nor the First Books day. However, sending a copy of Aristotle's Poetics to Israel or de Beauvoir's The Second Sex to Kentucky brings back the intense discussions I was a part of and I find myself hoping their new owners will cherish them. When I moved out to California I had to give away a lot of my books. After four years at a Great Books school, and in Chicago where there are more used book stores than I had ever seen before, I had collected quite the library. It spilled out of my bedroom into the dining room onto three more bookshelves. Every book I put in the "Donate" boxes broke my heart. Without its physical form would I remember the wisdom within? This question remains unanswered.
My pen-pal, someone who attended Shimer many years ago, sent me this New York Times discussion on yet another side of the book world. My response to him was the following:
A paragraph in the letter from Professor Sherman of Columbia Business struck me. (This paragraph: "Understandably, those threatened by disruptive change bemoan innovative business practices as unfair, evil or even bad for society. The problem with such arguments is that those dislodged by innovation are conflating their own welfare with the marketplace as a whole. In a similar vein, one could also question whether technological progress was bad for farming or just family farmers. Or whether iTunes has been bad for the music industry or just for defunct record stores.")
Certainly, this is true. I fear the digital age's destruction of something that I hold dear. I often point out how there is less of a connection with a book when you are not holding it in your hand. I will bring up studies that prove that physically writing notes, rather than typing them, help you remember them better. On Kindles or iPads there is no actual writing, the notes are neatly typed and tucked away as footnotes at best. What happens to symbology in this process? When writing my thesis I would scribble a smiley face next to passages I wanted to come back to, a tornado next to facts I wanted to cite, squares next to information I wanted to research further, and so on. Coming up with a typed equivalent seems bizarre to me.
With all that said, one can also copy and paste passages from these devices straight into their email to be deposited into their theses without having to re-type every word. And finding one's symbols only requires a quick ctrl-F. A tempting ability to the exhausted student.
Back to Professor Sherman's passage: While what he says may be true, it also worries me. Reading The Grapes of Wrath in Shimer's "Politics of the Novel" elective made me realize that what was bad for the small farming families was bad for the heart of the country. We are consumed by our ever-driving passion for innovation and invention. Our society seems utterly preoccupied with pulling us out of the last century and into this one, but we lose so much in that bargain.
People will often compare what is occurring now with books to what has happened with the music industry, but lately I've begun to believe that this is foolish. We have not yet seen the full extent of change within the music industry after the invention of the iPod. So far people can pirate music at an incredible rate and artists are relying ever more on profits from concerts to make a living. (I'm not concerned with the superstars of this world so much as the dreamers, the artists.)
And now people are beginning to download books illegally as well. Unlike musicians, authors will not make money off of concerts. They will not make money at all. Already journalists have learned that repetition and blogging can get them farther than "hard news." Yellow journalism seems to be back in full-force. What of authors? What of craft?
I went to a book event recently to see the author Kevin Smokler talk about his new book Practical Classics: 50 Reasons to Reread 50 Books You Haven't Touched Since High School. I have my reservations about the experience. Obviously he is a book lover, but I believe him to be completely naive and blind to the majority of America. At one point he said "books are not in danger. Reading is not in danger. Libraries will survive. People still love to read." I almost laughed out loud! Libraries will survive? Perhaps in NY, definitely in this area of CA, maybe Chicago if they keep fighting as hard as they are now. But everywhere else? In my hometown in FL the library is closed more often than it is open. And there seem to be as many computers as books at this point. Reading is most certainly in danger.
Are we like Steinbeck's Joad family? We're traveling toward the promise land of cheaper, more easily accessible everything but will we find that there is no promised land? Places like Shimer and the library system and independent bookstores keep us book-loving travelers alive and thriving, but I've reached California and they don't have the answers to the changing book world either.
It is clear that I will never find an experience as fulfilling in the same way as my time at Shimer was. However, I feel blessed to be surrounded by books where I am now, even if they are not mine to keep. I've always loved books, Shimer made me love discussing them, and now I'm learning to let them go, but also to involve myself with a different side of them. It is not how many books I have touched, but how many books have touched me.

2004 Z Modeler 2 (Preview)
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 12:13 AM MDT | By Zidane
Head over to Z Modeler 2's temporary site to grab yourself a preview version of ZModeler2.
I've decided to release a preview version of ZModeler2 few days earlier than announced before. This is as preview version only and does not contain that much functionality, even ZModeler 1 series has more tools than this one. But anyway, this is a new evolution of ZModeler which will surely beat ZModeler 1 series.
So, grab you copy on the Downloads page.
Surely this is good news for all of you GTA modelers out there. ;)
Thanks, to LuigiBrotha for submitting this to us.

From Craig Manson at GeneaBlogie:
Graig says "I started this with a note on Facebook and it was suggested that it would make a good meme for bloggers. The idea is to publicize your surnames and locales to see if anyone else knows something about them."
Craig says to "List the surnames you are researching and the general localities. Then tell the names of your "Most Wanted Ancestors," that is, the ones you most want to find behind that brick wall. (You can tag people if you want; I've chosen not to do that here so that all readers are included). Let's see your lists; maybe we can each help someone out!"
So I have added the surnames that are most directly related to me that I am researching. I also took Thomas MacEntee's lead at Destination: Austin Family when he said "I have been "particular with the formatting of the information below and use ________ Surname hoping this will allow more people using Google and other search engines to find my post. Also I am using _______ County for the same reasons." Thank you, Craig and Thomas, for such good suggestions.

The two ancestors I would really, really like to find are my great-great-grandparents, C. Richard Puckett and Polly Brooks Puckett. Many of us have been searching for their place of burial for several years. Richard was born in 1826 in either Indiana or Kentucky. He died around 1901 probably in Hunt County, Texas. My grandmother said his father's name was Bill. Polly was born around 1836 probably in Jasper County, Texas and died between 1900 - 1907 in Hunt County, Texas.
The 1900 Hunt County, Texas Census, Precinct 3 lists Polly (Mary) in the home of one of her sons and daughter-in-laws, Charles Rufus Puckett and Lula Bennett Puckett as a widow. This was in the later days of her life. This might indicate that she is buried in Hunt County. This research was done and given to me by a 3rd cousin, Rita Rascoe Jones, of Sabine Parish, Louisiana.
Maybe this post will find its way to someone who can help us with this puzzling piece of my history!

"My eyelids are heavy/I wish they were closed/I'm just waiting for the time/When I don't have to think about it," Jandek sang in a descending baritone moan as the clattering of avant-noise fluttered around him. The inaugural edition of the Institute of Contemporary Art's "Summer Music Surge" was anything but typical. First, there was Jandek, a ghostlike figure whose near-anonymity in an information-saturated world is more the point than his avant-folk music. Second, Jandek's three supporting musicians, selected weeks in advance and allowed to practice only once, represented some of the more challenging players on the scene: Greg Kelley (trumpet), Jorrit Dijkstra (saxophone), Eli Keszler (drums). Third, the crowd. ("It's the best of the underwater Nazi movies," was a snippet of overheard conversation.) These were record nerds — if you were to cross-reference the attendance with eBay power sellers, you'd be sure to find half the vinyl kingpins in Massachusetts. Jandek's music is so esoteric that only a few stores sell it; one of them is Harvard Square's champion of obscurities, Twisted Village. After a brief introduction, in which organizer Stacie Slotnick was given a round of applause, the audience hushed in anticipation. Through the side door of the ICA's blackened shoreside theater, Jandek made a shadowy entrance. Seated with an acoustic bass guitar, and further hidden behind a music stand and a wide-brim fedora, he never looked into the crowd and never spoke between songs.
The music, which is written expressly for each show, was a continual, desolate dirge. Only brief interludes kept one song from melding into the next. "Happy to be hopeless/Depressed," he moaned, later mumbling, "I don't want to party." Our local avant-gardistes did their best to keep up (drummer Keszler in particular kept looking for clues in Jandek's blank face), but each song was nearly identical — bleak swells of skronk and sorrow. The slow shift of the sparse and elegant lighting was more intriguing. To focus on the music would mean getting sucked into Jandek's whirlpool of sadness. Or, as he kept referring to it, his "house of despair."

I'll echo what many others have said. One thing was it was a good way for me to get an hour workout each day (my commute was about 8 miles each way, it's now 3 since I moved last year). Easing into it, and starting in the spring or fall when the weather is nice is the easy way to do it. You can ease into things like the weather getting colder and rain easier that way.
Like others have said, having you stuff set out the night before makes the commute easier. I have my coffee, and oatmeal in their containers and stuffed in my backpack the night before, along with my clothes (and shoes if necessary) for the next day. I typically will leave my jeans and a pair of shoes at the office so I don't have to carry them back and forth all the time. From experience, keeping a spare shirt and pair of underwear at the office doesn't hurt in case you forget to pack either one. The thing that takes the longest amount of time for me is moving my headlight/taillight from one bike to another when I decide to take a different one into the office.

Fourth suspect pleads not guilty in drug sting shooting case
MISSOULA, Mont. - A fourth suspect in a Missoula drug sting-turned-shooting pleaded not guilty.
Justin Michael Holdstheenemy pleaded not guilty to felony conspiracy to commit robbery. Holdstheenemy is the fourth suspect in the case where an undercover officer from the Missoula Police Department was shot.
The shooting occurred during a High Intensity Drug Task Force operation outside Gold's Gym in November.
Prosecutors says Holdstheenemy went with the alleged shooter, Joshua Robinson, to approach the officer, until the cop said he only wanted to deal with one of the men.
Holdstheenemy's attorney said he is the least culpable out of the defendants in the case, but Missoula County District Court Judge Karen Townsend didn't agree to release Holdstheenemy from jail.
Co-defendant Jazmine Beehler also appeared in court Tuesday. She pleaded not guilty to felony charges last week, but her attorney continues to ask for her release from jail.
Beehler claims she's pregnant and isn't getting the proper medical care in the Missoula County Detention Center. But Judge Townsend said information she has shows three pregnancy tests came back negative.
Beehler will appear in court again next week. Her attorney asked for more time to resolve some ongoing issues.
