There's a clear answer to the question of whether wireless music systems can replace a dedicated CD transport in a high end audio system and that is almost, but not quite.
Yes, you can do it, and it will sound great, especially considering how far the signal has to travel before it hits the DAC circuitry. In fact in terms of value for money this kind of setup has the potential to sound utterly jaw-dropping when the right components are chosen and for anyone looking to go into wireless music in any kind of serious way, I'd say it's well worth investing in a decent DAC. The DACs in these players, though good, can't match the sound you get from a dedicated box.
Despite this, for whatever reason, the integrated CD player approach still holds the edge. Whether it's enough edge to persuade me that my next hi-fi upgrade is an even more expensive CD player, however, is another matter. I think I'll just bide my time and keep experimenting in the hope that wireless audio nirvana is out there, somewhere…

The purpose of this meditation is to generate a very strong wish to avoid the sufferings of the lower realms, and then to meditate on this wish in light of the disadvantages of self-cherishing.
I began with breathing meditation and then moved on to the main meditation.
I started by thinking about how everything that appears to me is a manifestation of my karma, and that other realms which I will experience when I die will seem as real as this present life does now.
I considered the sufferings of the lower realms starting with the animal realm. I imagined being a small animal in a forest. From time to time, out of nowhere I would be attacked and pursued. I would be aware of razor sharp teeth and a growing, snapping noise behind me and I would run terrified through the trees until I had lost my attacker. My peace would only last a short time and then I would be attacked again until, finally, I would be eaten alive by a massive brutal mouth filled with stinking teeth.
I then thought about the sufferings of the hungry ghost realm, watching my wife and children slowly starve to death in front of me. The pain of hunger pervading our whole bodies, each moment seemed like a lifetime.
Finally, I considered the sufferings of the black line hell, where torturers would force me to lie down on a blazing hot iron ground and stretch me out using hooks. Then the demons would mark my body with black lines using horrible hot brands, and then finally cut me apart slowly with burning weapons such as axes and knives.
I thought about these torments again and again, trying to imagine how it would feel to actually experience them.
I remembering that I have experienced them before and that I have the karmic seeds to experience them again in the future. I remembered that these torments will be as real to me as this present life is now. It filled me with fear and dread, and I developed the really very strong wish to avoid these torments in the future. I focused on this wish to avoid these torments single pointedly for some time.
I then thought about what this means in light of the disadvantages of self-cherishing. It is self-cherishing that causes these experiences! All these sufferings are caused directly by my own self-cherishing. It seemed to me that the innocent seeming self-cherishing mind that beguiles me with thoughts of my own welfare is (in reality) a disguised torturer, quietly chuckling as it makes me create unspeakable suffering for myself in the future. How deceptive!
I determined to abandon my self-cherishing, and I stayed with this thought for the rest of the meditation.
May all living beings recognise that their sufferings are caused by their own self-cherishing, and may they abandon it to become Buddhas for the benefit of all.
Practice in the Meditation Break
I will try to remember the sufferings of the lower realms and remember that it is self-cherishing that is my true enemy and cause of all my sufferings.

The Revenge, a radio play without words, written and performed by Andrew Sachs in 1978
Shingler and Wieringa, 1998, 51 ff - Shingler, Martin and Wieringa, Cindy, On Air. Methods and Meanings of Radio (London: Arnold, 1998)
Do non-verbal sounds really need words to render them meaningful? Could a range of natural noises not provide meaningful entertainment? Some years ago the BBC commissioned a short radio play to explore this very issue. The results sounded something like this.
From silence there emerges the sound of birdsong and then a faint humming noise which could be running water somewhere in the distance. A siren wails, shattering the tranquillity of this pastoral scene and a man's breathing is simultaneously heard in close-up, panting and pained. Footfalls are heard moving over soft ground, accompanied by the rustle of clothing and the panting of breath. In the distance, along with the birdsong, men's voices are heard shouting inarticulately, accompanied by dogs barking. Close-up, the man's breathing is laboured with intermittent gasps of pain. Each breath is forced out. It's the sound of fear. Feet running, distant voices shouting, dogs barking and, in the foreground, the continuing struggle for breath. The footfalls and the breathing become faster, more determined, even desperate. Then the sound of footfalls change, becoming softer. They rustle upon leaves. Branches snap under foot. They slow down and stop. The man catches his breath and sighs heavily. The shouts and barks seem all around. Running water can be heard more distinctly now. The footfalls resume and change their sound once again. They squelch. Then they splash, moving through water, first shallow but with each step becoming deeper and more laboured. The man grunts as he wades into the watery depths. The water surges, bubbles and plops. The man pants, filling his lungs with air. Suddenly he takes a deep breath. There is a subdued splash followed by a bubbling noise and at that moment all the other sounds become strangely muffled and distorted. The dogs and the men's voices are now heard through the water, gradually diminishing and leaving only the sound of the water itself. The water ripples around us (in stereo) until there is a brutal burst of sound, immediately followed by the man gasping for air. Panting and splashing follow. The sound of the men and their dogs are now far off. The breathing slows, becomes more rhythmic. Footfalls sound, squelching upon a soft carpet of leaves, hesitantly at first but gathering into a steady pace. There is no longer any sound of men's voices or dogs barking. The man sighs. A bird sings. The steady breathing and footfalls fade to silence.
This is the first scene of The Revenge, a play without words, written and performed by Andrew Sachs in 1978. This play, about a man on the run (presumably having escaped from prison) who eludes his pursuers, steals a motorbike, breaks into a house in a remote rural location and there drowns another man in his bathtub, was produced with sound effects alone: no words, no music. It constructed its simple narrative through environmental sounds (e.g., birdsong, water, gravel pathways, traffic noises), through the sound of objects (e.g., doors, telephones, motorbike engines, sirens, cigarette lighters, breaking glass, clock chimes, ticking watches) and through bodily noises (e.g., sighs, panting, breathing, grunting, the rustle of clothing, footfalls, exclamations, humming, inarticulate shouting, meows). In so doing, the play sought to exploit the dramatic possibilities of non-verbal sounds (namely sound effects and acoustics) and prove that a story could be told and, more particularly, could be understood without using any recognisable words. Yet if it had not been called The Revenge, and if the announcer had not proclaimed it to be The Revenge before and after the play, would any of its listeners have had any clue that these actions were motivated by vengeance? As it stands, The Revenge demonstrates that audiences can recognise certain actions solely through their sound: e.g., the man being pursued across the countryside, his success in eluding the police, steal-
mg a motorbike, breaking into a house, stealing up on and drowning another man in his bathtub. But what it also demonstrates is the limitation of non-verbal sound to evoke a drama: that whilst sound effects and acoustics can successfully convey something of the what, the where and the how, they are incapable of dealing with the why. By the end of the play, we know what has happened, how it happened and where it happened but have no sense of who the characters are, what their relationship is (or was) to each other nor what motivated this act of revenge. In other words, we have only half of a story.
Jonathan Raban, writer of many radio plays produced by the BBC, has called The Revenge a 'wordless sequence of noises' and denounced it as 'a well-puffed curiosity' (Raban 1981: 80). He has criticised the play on the grounds that its assemblage of grunts, thuds, crunches, gratings and footfalls is ambiguous and confusing. For him, it stands for all that is wrong in contemporary radio drama. He sees it as the fruition of a trend in radio drama which has increasingly been putting sound effects before dialogue and attempting to evoke the sounds of the real world over and above an articulation of ideas (reality before art). Raban sees such a project as the product of producers and technicians rather than writers, whose primary objective is to create something along the lines of a sound cinema. Opposed to this, Raban claims, is another (older) tradition of radio drama in which writers approach the radio play as if it were an audible version of the printed page. Raban describes the major difference between these two approaches in terms of icon and symbol. The producer-technician creation he calls iconic, since it is concerned with sounding real and using real sounds, and the writer's creation he calls symbolic, given that it is concerned with conveying ideas through a set of conventional practices and codes of representation that substitute for reality (rather than replicate reality). He points out that for a long time radio was a writer's medium in which words ruled and sound effects performed an essentially supportive role, as little more than an embellishment. Moreover, the sound effects that were used were themselves symbolic rather than realistic, requiring the listener to interpret artifical noises (e.g., coconut shells for horses' hooves, drumbeats for heartbeats or footsteps). But, according to Raban, all that changed with the advancements in radio technology, most notably the introduction of VHF and stereo, which saw radio begin to 'manufacture its own iconic version of reality' (Raban, 1981: 83). In other words, radio began to replicate the world of everyday (or natural) sounds rather than create an intelligible (but artificial) representation of it. In the shift from symbolic to iconic representation, noises and sound effects assumed a greater role than words or music.
Beck, Alan, 1999, 'Is radio blind or invisible? A call for a wider debate on listening-in', World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE), electronic publication,
So, to take up my main argument: should it be blindness or invisibility or should it be something else? Shingler's preference is for invisibility and he is perceptive in pointing to a possible conceptual misalignment here. In the carefully argued Chapter 4, 'The mind's eye', the 'invisible' should be substituted for 'blind' (to repeat the quote):
Why, in other words, define radio's status as a non-visual medium in terms connoting impairment, disability and lack rather than positive attributes such as power and magic? The repeated use of the words 'blind' and 'blindness' to describe radio would suggest that those writing about radio consider its lack of visuals to be a problem rather than a positive attribute: as something to be overcome rather than exploited.
Blindness - pathological blindness - is certainly equated with total visual loss, and therefore in radio audiences with the inability to 'see', and in radiowriting, sometimes with an overcompensatory emphasis on those radio texts which typify this ('pure radio', the 'radiogenic', blind characters in radio drama, occurrences of the almost totally aural 'mise en scène', etc.).
Let me trace the blindness trope back to other main sources of radiowriting prior to Crisell, and Shingler and Wieringa, and to a collection of essays, Radio Drama (Lewis, 1981) and British Radio Drama (Drakakis, 1981). Here is David Wade, radio critic first of the B.B.C. weekly publication, The Listener and then of The Times, raging against the coming of stereo in radio drama:
But why was it ever felt necessary to do so? The placing effect attempts to compensate for the blindness of radio as a medium, yet - as I hope I have shown - that blindness was and still is one of radio drama's greatest assets.
(Wade, 1981a, 243)
Wade's, and indeed Raban's chapters in the Lewis, 1981 collection and Wade again in Drakakis, 1981, might be regarded as examples of what psychoanalysts would call splitting - 'good object' (wireless drama pre-stereo) / 'bad object' (the new age of stereo). Whatever their insights, and especially those valuable ones of Raban's, they emerge as pessimistic and backward-looking in attitude, and more so in hindsight now, and in a category of radiowriting frequently encountered that I term the Primal Paradigm, or radio's 'enemies of the future'. They exploit the paranoid-ish trope of listeners-as-victims and are resentful of paradigm shifts in technology, as indeed were and are many radio practitioners either retraining or leaving the industry. This Primal Paradigm has also been influential in UK radio journalism and reviewing.
Let me respond immediately to Wade's technological, indeed Luddite, point of view. In a discussion of painting, 'Art Narrowly and Broadly Speaking', Dickie, 1968 says that we sometimes admire skill if done before materials were developed which would have made the painting easier to produce, and we know the obstacles overcome. But he notes that although 'we do seem to appreciate a painting more if it requires skills', this leads to the 'rather silly position':
... that if painters want to paint better pictures they ought to use the most difficult and usually older techniques.
(Dickie, 1968, 76)
We all have experienced the split in opinion between listening to vinyl ('warmer') and CDs, and between analogue tape and the shift to digital production.
Wade's Luddite posing, or what I regard as such in his most waspish comments, comes down to an essentialist claim on radio as paradigmatic wireless. It is noticeable that the Primal Paradigm group, in their attempts to position radio drama as an aesthetic, champion a small range of avant-garde, relatively representational pieces over the mainstream of broadcast popular culture.

hanging light fixture; wire twists as chain tightened
Just curious if anyone knows a trick to this. Ive got a hanging light fixture Im changing out with a new one. The old one, installed by a pro, has the wire " meander" nicely up the links thru the screw collar and into the ceiling.
The other room I replaced I had much trouble when screwing the screw collar into the bracket. I need to turn the screw collar to tighten it into the bracket in the box. This turns, or spins the connected chain, but the wires in the box ( obviously ) do not turn, so the wire weaved thru the chain starts twisting and looking, um."ugly" for lack of a better term.
Is there a better way I am not seeing?
Got a picture?
No idea what your talking about with that description and terms.
Don't connect your wires until last. Do a dry run of your canopy fit before you connect wires .
Twist the opposite way before you install. Then the install will untwist them.
4 Attachment(s)
Sorry, I had to reduce the pictures so I could upload them, thank-you for the quick responses. Hopefully this helps describe what I am talking about.
I put the bracket in the box, and then I take the screw collar close to the box, attach the wires and stuff them into the box.
Then this is where I have trouble. As I screw in the screw collar which is attached to the chain, everything turns except the wires in the box. The wires in the box twist as does the wire through the chain.
Edit: Twisting the wires opposite way sounds good (smacking forehead). Thanks.

Georgia Set to Host Gamecocks for Sunday
Jan. 12, 2013
Georgia set to host Gamecocks
No. 13 Georgia will return to Stegeman Coliseum on Sunday afternoon when the Lady Bulldogs host No. 18 South Carolina in CSS regionally televised matinee set to tip at 1:00 p.m. Matt Stewart will call the play-by-play, and Joe Ciampi will serve as analyst.
The Lady Bulldogs are 14-2 overall and 2-1 in SEC play this season following Thursday's 95-83 win at Alabama. Those scoreboard tallies represent both the most points scored and surrendered by Georgia this season.
The Lady Bulldogs sport a trio of double-digit scorers. Jasmine James paces Georgia at 12.6 ppg, including 16.3 ppg in league action. Jasmine Hassell and Khaalidah Miller contribute 11.9 ppg and 10.0 ppg, respectively.
The biggest story line to date, however, has been the Lady Bulldogs' depth. A year ago, four Georgia players averaged more than 30 mpg and five different Lady Bulldogs combined to notch 25 40-minute outings.
This season, nine Lady Bulldogs average between 13.6 and 26.7 mpg and only 14 times in 16 games has someone logged more than 30 MP.
The Gamecocks sport identical 14-2 and 2-1 records as Georgia and arrive in Athens following a 64-48 win over Vanderbilt in Columbia three days ago.
Aleighsa Welch leads South Carolina with averages of 12.2 ppg and 8.6 rpg, while Tiffany Mitchell chips in 10.8 ppg.

The Last Meeting
March 2, 2012
Nashville, Tenn.
Last time out...
Jasmine Hassell scored 21 points to lead five Lady Bulldogs in double figures as No. 13 Georgia beat Alabama, 95-83, at Foster Auditorium on Thursday.
Tiaria Griffin posted 20 points, Jasmine James added 15, Shacobia Barbee chipped in 14 and Khaalidah Miller scored 13 in a season-high offensive output for Georgia. The Lady Bulldogs also connected on a season-high 56.3 percent of their shots from the floor.
After leading by five at the half, Georgia used a 16-4 spurt to expand the margin to 58-44 with 14:59 remaining.
The Tide closed the gap to single digits just once thereafter, at 66-57, but the Lady Bulldogs responded with an 8-0 run to quickly gain some distance.
Shorter bench in Tuscaloosa
The Alabama win was even more impressive considering Georgia played without starter Anne Marie Armstrong and key reserve Merritt Hempe.
Armstrong rolled her ankle in practice on Tuesday. She warmed up but then secured the first "DNP" of her career.
Hempe was out due to soreness in her foot, a condition athletic trainer Shannon Becker has been managing since early December.
Most SEC points in a while
Thursday's 95 points not only represented Georgia's highest offensive output of 2012-13, it also qualified as the Lady Bulldogs largest number in Southeastern Conference play in nearly a decade...to the day.
The last time Georgia scored more points in league action was a 105-62 win over Florida on Jan. 12, 2003.
Freshmen have career games
The 20 points by Tiaria Griffin and the 14 points and eight steals by Shacobia Barbee at Alabama all were career bests for the freshmen.
Griffin has stepped up her contributions in SEC play, averaging 13.0 ppg so far after contributing 7.3 ppg in 13 non-conference games.
Barbee, a starter for all but one game, is averaging 5.7 ppg and 5.0 rpg and leads Georgia in both assists (55) and steals (47).
Lady Bulldogs hit "magic number"
Georgia has furthered one of the greatest statistical indicators in any sport six times this season.
The Lady Bulldogs put up 80 or more points against Savannah State, St. Bonaventure, Furman, Mercer and Alabama...to improve to 425-6 when reaching the 80-point plateau under Andy Landers.
That converts to an almost unfathomable winning percentage of .98607889.
It also highlights the fact that Georgia has scored more than 80 points in more than percent of the victories during Landers' 34 campaigns with the Lady Bulldogs.
UGA among national stats
Georgia is ranked among the nation's top-30 teams in nine statistics, including four in the top 10.
The Lady Bulldogs are No. 3 in turnover margin (+9.63), No. 5 in steals (13.8), No. 9 in assist-to-TO ratio (1.19); No. 10 in scoring margin (+22.3), No. 17 in scoring offense (74.4), No. 17 in fewest TOs per game (13.9), No. 24 in scoring defense (52.1), No. 26 in assists (16.6) and No. 30 in FG pct. (.439).
Playing time being distributed
A year ago, six Lady Bulldogs averaged between 20.0 and 34.5 minutes per game. All told, five players logged all 40 minutes a combined 25 times.
This season, "PT" is being more equally distributed. Nine Georgia players are averaging between 13.6 and 26.7 minutes played per game.
Most dramatically affected has been Jasmine James. James averaged 35.4 mpg during her first three seasons and played 30 minutes or more in 82 of 91 games played over that span.
Less means more for James
Decreased playing time has likely played a role in much greater efficiency by senior Jasmine James.
"All her negatives are down," Andy Landers said. "All her positives are up."
James connected on 35.2 percent of her shots from the floor in her first three seasons in Athens, topping out at 38.9 percent a year ago.
This year, James is shooting 49.4 percent from the field, which is No. 6 in the SEC and No. 58 nationally. Among perimeter players, that percentage is tops in the league and also the fourth-best nationally.4
James joins UGA's top-20 scorers
Jasmine James has ascended from No. 31 to No. 20 among UGA's career scoring leaders during 2012-13. Twice this season, James has passed multiple players on the Lady Bulldogs' career scoring leaders ledger in a single game.
During the victory over New Mexico, James' 17 points leapfrogged her over No. 28 Pam Irwin-Osbolt, No. 27 Carla Green and No. 26 Cynthia Collins.
At Tennessee, James moved ahead of both No. 21 Tawana McDonald and No. 20 Stacey Ford.
James' ascent may stall for a while. She enters the South Carolina game with 1,252 points, 144 away from the current No. 19 tally of Camille Lowe.
Hassell hits millennium as well
Jasmine Hassell scored her 1,000th career point against Savannah State, becoming the 33rd Lady Bulldog to reach that plateau.
The former McDonald's and WBCA prep All-American from Wilson Central High in Lebanon, Tenn., has developed consistently throughout her career.
Hassell averaged 6.2 ppg as a freshman, improved to 9.6 ppg as a sophomore and bumped that up to a team-high 13.0 ppg as a junior.
Hassell has climbed from No. 30 to No. 27 among the Lady Bulldogs career scoring leaders after repeating Jasmine James' threepeat leapfrog. With 21 points in Tuscaloosa, Hassell moved ahead of No. 29 Pam Irwin-Osbolt, No. 28 Carla Green and No. 27 Cynthia Collins.
Hassell enters the South Carolina contest with 1,130 points in a Georgia uniform, 27 off the current No. 26 position held by Alexis Kendrick.
A milestone in the making
Anne Marie Armstrong needs 116 points to become the third Georgia senior to reach 1,000 career points.
Armstrong would join Jasmine James and Jasmine Hassell among the Lady Bulldogs' 1,000-point club and make them the second trio of classmates to do so.
James scored her 1000th point late last season at South Carolina and Hassell became the 33rd Lady Bulldog to reach the millennium milestone against Savannah State on Nov. 20.
The only three classmates to top 1,000 points at UGA to date are the Class of 1997's La'Keshia Frett (1,850 points), Tracy Henderson (1,764) and Kedra Holland-Corn (1,566).
Depth showing up elsewhere
Georgia's depth has provided a big boost in a couple of "specialty stats" - directly and indirectly.
The Lady Bulldogs' bench has contributed 435 points, which is 36.6 percent of Georgia's total offensive output and more than double the 217 points by opposing bench players.
The Lady Bulldogs have scored 415 points off of opponents' turnovers, while giving up just 133 points on their giveaways. That equates to a massive +282 margin in points off TOs.

'Ray Of Light' Was Madonna's 'Mid-Life Enlightenment' Record
In 1998, Madonna released Ray Of Light, an album that marked a crossroads for the highly successful artist. Madonna worked with several noted producers, including electronica pioneer William Orbit, to establish a sound that blended dance, pop, and British rock. The album was critically acclaimed, peaking at number two on the Billboard chart and producing two worldwide top-five hits.
NPR Music's Ann Powers calls Ray Of Light Madonna's "mid-life enlightenment" record — and she walks us through this interesting chapter in the star's career.
Interview Highlights
Ann Powers, on Madonna integrating yoga and spirituality into her music:
Shanti/Ashtangi is a form of kirtan, the chanting tradition that people like Krisha Das were doing around New York City at that time…. The only time I've interviewed [Madonna] in person was for Ray Of Light. That's how I connected with her: Talking about yoga, singing kirtan, and all of the spiritual pursuits that she was doing at the time. She was very serious about it and excited to be able to put that into her music and possibly make it into pop.
On working with William Orbit to produce a new sound:
I think what Madonna heard in him was a kind of a lushness that she wanted for this record. Techno and rave was happening in the 90's and had a lot of different forms. There was very experimental, more hard stuff like Aphex Twin. There was party stuff like Fatboy Slim. That's not what Madonna wanted for this. She wanted something more like a singer-songwriter, really. And William Orbit provided her with that.
On the hit title track, "Ray Of Light," and the British sound of the record:
Another thing Madonna was doing during this time was experimenting with learning how to play guitar. So she's really going through this growth thing and trying to combine things. I think that was a hit partly because it has that mix of dance and rock. And it's just such a joyous song. I have a friend… who actually walked down the aisle — she and her groom — to "Ray Of Light."

76ERS 103, CELTICS 71: Evan Turner had a career-high 26 points with nine rebounds as host Philadelphia resoundingly ended Boston's five-game winning streak in a matchup of Atlantic Division leaders.
Philadelphia handed the Celtics their worst loss of the season and held them to a season-low tying 71 points to grab a two-game division lead.
Elton Brand scored 18 points on 8 of 10 shooting and added nine rebounds for the 76ers. Andre Iguodala had 10 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and Nikola Vucevic added 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Paul Pierce led Boston with 16 points, while Brandon Bass had 12. Ray Allen was 0 for 5 for two points and Rajon Rondo scored just five as the Celtics shot 35 percent (28 of 80) and missed all eight of their 3-pointers.
The 76ers were 16 of 26 from the field in the first quarter, racing to a 33-17 lead. And it only got worse for the Celtics.
Turner nearly had a double-double by halftime with 16 points and eight rebounds. Boston shot just 34.1 percent in the first half and were outrebounded 31-15 in that time.
Jrue Holiday's 3-pointer from the right wing gave Philadelphia a 47-21 lead with 4:27 remaining in the half. The 76ers led by as much as 53-25 before the Celtics closed the half with an 8-2 run.
Led by Turner's 10 points, the Sixers increased the lead to 80-53 after three quarters.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Center Jermaine O'Neal (sprained left wrist) sat out for Boston . ... The 76ers were without forward Thaddeus Young (upper respiratory tract infection). ... The Celtics missed eight straight field goals from 6:56 to 3:51 of the second quarter. ... The 76ers' largest win over the Celtics was 138-96 on Oct. 29, 1966.

Exactly What I Was Looking For
September 17, 2014
I'm using my tie backs for my outside curtains. They work and look great. The stitching seems durable and the valcro is secure. I would definitely suggest they use a stronger glue. When I opened my package the flower fell off 2 of 4. Which was really no big deal to me. I just grabbed my gorilla glue and it was fixed. So yes 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!!!

Which version should you buy?
Now that it comes equipped with HDMI, the £249 Xbox 360 Console Pack is the one to go for. The £300 Xbox 360 Elite is worth the extra if you're interested in exploring TV and movie downloads when the relevant Xbox Live Marketplace service launches (hopefully this year), but the cheaper system gives you the best balance of price and features.
Three good reasons to go Xbox 360.
Halo 3
The most hyped blockbuster game of the year, but this time the hype was (mostly) justified. The single-player campaign builds on Halo's strengths to form the biggest, baddest Halo yet, while the online options are streets ahead of anything else on a console.

Compare Prices for Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Mass Effect
It comes from the team behind Baldur's Gate and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. It features stunning, near-photorealistic graphics, the most advanced facial modelling and conversation systems yet seen in a game, and gameplay that mixes tactical action, space exploration and deep RPG mechanics. Could this be the new benchmark for console RPGs?

Compare Prices for Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
Project Gotham Racing 4
Thanks to a killer combination of cool cars, thrilling handling and superb real city tracks, PGR4 is THE driving game of the moment. Others offer more realistic racing or stronger customisation options, but nothing beats Bizarre's latest for stunning spectacle or the sheer, fierce joy of speeding and swerving through the streets.

No industry is immune to digital disruption.
Globally, executives acknowledge the disruptive influence that digital technologies have on their businesses. In fact, in a recent Forrester survey fielded in conjunction with Russell Reynolds, 41% of business and IT executives believed that their industry had already been moderately or massively disrupted and over half expected to see more disruption over the next 12 months.
You don't have to look far to find evidence to back this belief up. In fact, you don't even have to look globally — digital disruption is happening right in your back yard. Just take the UK as an example:
Posted by Nigel Fenwick on March 20, 2014
In my last post I outlined the research we just finished on digital transformation. Today I'd like to highlight the key takeaways for CIOs.
CIOs are destined to play a pivotal leadership role in the transformation of business to a digital business. The nature of business is changing and, in turn, the technology investment priorities of the past must change. The report - Unleash Your Digital Business - describes the dynamic ecosystems of value that drive customer behaviors and transform the linear value chain into a dynamic network supported by open APIs. CIOs must partner with CMOs to drive the business transformation needed to become a digital business. To survive, your business will need to embrace digital customer experiences within ecosystems of value, and digital operational excellence to drive the agility and innovation required to survive and thrive in the age of the customer.
Digital Is More Than A Bolt-on Strategy
Bolt-on digital is like painting go-fast stripes on a car; it doesn't change the underlying business. To become a digital business requires fundamental enterprise transformation; something CIOs are accustomed to leading and shaping. The partnership with the CMO must be extended to create operational excellence through digital technology, augmenting customer value with digital products and services and driving rapid innovation across the business.
Dynamic Ecosystems Of Value Drive The Ability To Win Serve and Retain Customers
Your company is likely to face an extinction event in the next 10 years. And while you may see it coming, you may not have enough time to save your company.
Business leaders don't think of digital as central to their business because in the past, it hasn't been. But now your customers, your products, your business operations, and your competitors are fundamentally digital. While 74% of business executives say their company has a digital strategy, only 15% believe that their company has the skills and capabilities to execute on that strategy (see figure). These are just some of the findings from our latest research (Forrester clients click here).
For the past few years, companies have been bolting "digital" onto their existing business like teens paint go-fast stripes onto their cars. "Look, we're digital" is the message CEOs want to send to investors. But the piecemeal strategy of bolting digital channels or methods onto the business is no longer sufficient. Instead, you must think of your company as part of a dynamic ecosystem of value that connects digital resources inside and outside the company to create value for customers. To do this, you must fully harness digital technologies, both to deliver a superior customer experience and to drive the agility and operational efficiency you need to stay competitive.
Dynamic Ecosystems Of Value

When computers were invented 60 years ago, nobody would have thought that gazillions of 0 and 1s would soon rule the world. After all, that's all there is in any computer memory, be it a laptop, a mobile phone, or a supercomputer like Watson; if you could open memory up and visualize the smallest elementary unit, you would "see" only an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s, something that would look like this:
Interestingly, that has not changed. Computers are still processing 1s and 0s. What has changed is that we live in an age of digital disruption, an age where software applications run and rule our business more and more. To be successful, those applications need to be engaging and entertaining so that consumers enjoy and are delighted by them; they also have to be mobile and accessible anywhere and at anytime, and they have to leverage tons of information, no matter if it comes from a database, a tweet, or Facebook.

When David Cameron and Angela Merkel put their heads together to talk about the "Internet of Things" and decide that Britain should double its research investment into technology research, you know the world is digital.
The fact that the world is becoming digital is no longer really newsworthy. It's a boardroom topic for most firms. As it should be. You only have to open your eyes to see the impact that digital touchpoints have on business. As I sit here writing this blog, I am in the departure lounge of Brussels Airport en route to Stockholm for the last leg of a presentation roadshow. I'm surrounded by travelers on smartphones, tablets, and a few laptops. Almost everyone (with the exception of a sole individual filling in a crossword) is using a digital device.
Firms are beginning to acknowledge this digital-first culture. We've been presenting to audiences in cities all around Europe, talking about Transforming Into A Digital Business In The Face Of Disruption. The overwhelming feedback from these presentations has been that firms are beginning to realize that digital is critical to their future success (and in some cases, their very survival). This spans B2C and B2B. But in many cases, the executives we speak to say their firms don't have a digital strategy, and even if they do, they doubt their capability to deliver it.
It's clear — companies need help to make sense of what digital means to them.

Gator Lacrosse Hangs On Over Ohio State 10-8
Published March 27th, 2011
Loading Video...
No. 9 Florida Gator lacrosse team looked like it would have an easy time opening up conference play. Turns out, it nearly turned into fool's gold. After the Gators jumped out to a dominating 7-0 lead, led by five goals in that span from Kitty Cullen, the Ohio State Buckeyes rallied by scoring five straight spanning the 1st and 2nd half. But Cullen finally got the Gator offense out of its funk, scoring her sixth final goal in the 2nd half, restoring Florida's three-goal advantage en route to the 10-8 victory. The game was very physical, with multiple yellow-cards coming out from the officials. But the Gators hung on to record its 10th-straight victory, moving to 10-1 on the season.

COLON, Panama – The Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau, Lt. Gen. Joseph L. Lengyel, visited Army and Air Force personnel participating in Beyond the Horizon-Panama 2013 here, May 22.
Lengyel met with service members of various National Guard units serving in support roles for Task Force Panama who have been working on engineering projects for local Panamanian villages. He saw firsthand the progress of the sites and the benefit these projects have had on the local communities.
"I think this is a mutually beneficial exercise. We grow the friendship and the partnership [with the country of Panama] long-term and everybody wins," said Lengyel. "I think everyone involved has got to be incredibly proud of their work."
At the Escobal clinic site, members of the 200th and 203rd Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers, Air Force National Guard units out of Mansfield, Ohio and Virginia Beach, Va., continued the construction of a new health center and dormitory. They are also working to complete renovations on the existing clinic.
"The general's visit is a great opportunity for our unit to show our higher leadership the hard work we are doing," said Maj. Jeffrey Getz, civil engineer with the 203rd REDHORSE Squadron.
Service members from all components at the project sites received accolades and coins from the general for their hard work, progress and collaborative efforts on this joint service mission.
"The joint environment makes us more effective when we work together," said Lengyel. "Things like this, where we come out together and engage with our partners and allies to foster global relationships, are what's important; and the hard work you're doing here shows [that partnership] both internally and globally."
Beyond the Horizon-Panama 2013 is a U.S. Southern Command-sponsored, U.S. Army South-led joint humanitarian and civic assistance exercise deploying service members specializing in engineering, construction and health care to provide services to communities while also receiving valuable deployment training and building cooperative relationships with the country of Panama.
Medical and engineering assistance for Beyond the Horizon-Panama 2013 continue with closing ceremonies scheduled for late June and operations ending shortly after.

It's more than the code. First, the code is the NEC, National Electrical Code, an ANSI standard. This is a document produced by the NFPA, National Fire Protection Association every three years. States and local municipalities adopt this and make it a statute. Local AHJ's, Authorities Having Jurisdiction, enforce the code and ensure compliance.
So, the code is a minimum standard written to minimize fire and death risk in structures and other occupancies, think of it as a minimum law you are required to build to.
Now, in the code, are three little gems concerning installations. One, all work shall be done in a workmanlike manner. Two, all components of an electrical installation shall be listed for the use by a NRTL or Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. Examples of NRTL's are UL, CSA, or ETL. There are others. Three, you have best practices. Best Practices is subjective and subject to an inspectors interpretation. What you can get away with in podunk you might not get away with in Chicago or New York.
So, looking at that pigtail, it is listed as an appliance cord. It's intended use is only for use in conjunction with an appliance. It is not allowed for use as you have installed it because it is not listed for that use.
By your logic, you can take a piece of brake line, wrap it with cardboard and stuff it in a piece of pipe and use it in your circuit as a current carrying conductor. It works, right? No, it needs to done according to code. It is not "just" the code. It is part the National Life Safety Code.
Obviously this is the internet and you are far away. I've actually helped people before for free because like you, they did something dangerous and I had a real worry they were going to burn to death some night in a fire. Do what you like of course, but my whole purpose in writing any response in this thread was to educate you and try to get you to see why it is important to do things right, just like you would in your classic car.
I sense you are looking for third party justification for your installation, but the fact remains that you just plain did it wrong and it could have serious consequences.
@Old Fool, you are right, this thead did get highjacked some.

Math Geek Mom: Iconoclasts in April
Once, when I was in high school, I must have said something that particularly exasperated one of my teachers. She took a deep breath and looked out at me in the classroom (middle seat, second row) and said "Rosemarie, do you know what you are? You are in intellectual iconoclast."
Once, when I was in high school, I must have said something that particularly exasperated one of my teachers. She took a deep breath and looked out at me in the classroom (middle seat, second row) and said "Rosemarie, do you know what you are? You are in intellectual iconoclast."
I didn't really know what that meant, but soon discovered that an iconoclast is one who tries to destroy icons, be they actual icon paintings or intellectual ideas. I long ago began to take pride in that label given to me when I was so young. After all, what would be a better job description for us as scholars than "intellectual iconoclast"?
I thought of that teacher when I recently had the opportunity to read a book about statistics written by a popular professor from my college days, Othmar Winkler. He was a "statistics guru" on our college campus, and THE professor known for teaching statistics in the business school. He recently wrote a book called "Interpreting Economic and Social Data", and I devoured his book as I recovered from my injuries. This is not an ordinary statistics text book, but one that instead dares to put some of the accepted techniques of statistics under a microscope. Ideas that are generally accepted among those using statistics for economics and the social sciences, such as index numbers to least squares regression are examined closely as the author offers ways that statistics in the social sciences can be improved. After all, it proposes, the social sciences are very different from the natural sciences. We social scientists cannot perform a social experiment and then repeat it in the lab, as can chemists.
I again thought of that former teacher recently when my daughter decided that some of her treasured stuffed animals should go to church. She lined them up on the stairs; Pink Kitty, Teddy and Teddy's "sister", a stuffed dog that looks a lot like Teddy. With her presiding, they all went to church, complete with bread intended for sandwiches and grape fruit juice. As I watched her play church, I was at the same time both heartbroken and hopeful. I was heartbroken because I realized that she had obviously not realized that all of the priests at church were always men, and that there had never been a priest who looked like her or any of the other females in her life. On the other hand, I was also hopeful, because I saw in her actions the start of what could someday be the first generation of Catholic women to break the Stained Glass Ceiling. Perhaps my daughter would grow up to be an iconoclast that would bring about change in her church, and through that, in the larger world.
Being an iconoclast is not without price, as sometimes others are not ready to hear ideas that are not generally accepted. Realizing, I am sure, how controversial some of these original ideas might be, the author of the statistics book begins the preface of the book with a quote. This quote reminds all of us scholars that our duty is not primarily to be accepted, but, rather, to search for the truth, wherever it may be:
"It is the responsibility of scientists to never suppress knowledge, no matter how awkward that knowledge is, no matter how it may bother those in power. We are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible and which are not…" -Carl Sagan

| The Anatomy of Type is the ultimate stylistic guide to the intricacies and design of 100 indispensable typefaces. A delightful, colorful, and visual reference guide created by Stephen Coles and Tony Seddon---two acknowledged pros in the font design world---The Anatomy of Type was developed with typographers, graphic designers, and font geeks in mind, graphically and visually expanding on the current font-mania initiated by Simon Garfields's Just My Type.
The Anatomy of Type explores one hundred traditional and modern typefaces in loving detail, with a full spread devoted to each entry. The full character set from each typeface is shown, and the best letters for identification are enlarged and annotated, revealing key features, anatomical details, and the finer, often-overlooked elements of type design. Containing in-depth information on everything from the designer and foundry, the year of release, and the different weights and styles available, The Anatomy of Type is more than a reference guide to the intricacies of typeface design. It is a visual send-up of some of the world's most beloved typefaces, whimsically displayed in vibrant color.

Shuguang 845W Vacuum Tube - Premium Limited Edition,
as sold by Super-TNT
One of the truisms of audio is that different brands of vacuum tubes sound different. That is why swapping one brand or version of a vacuum tube for another can yield significant improvements in sound. Unfortunately, many of the best sounding tubes have not been made in decades and the supply of NOS (new old stock) tubes is dwindling. If you are rich you can afford to pay $1000 or more for a single NOS tube whose working life probably won't exceed several thousand listening hours. However, for us working stiffs the prices of some of the more highly sought after NOS tubes can make them unobtainable. Thus, the Holy Grail for those of us on budgets is to find a vacuum tube that is currently being manufactured that sounds as good as an original NOS tube yet sells for a fraction of the price.
For me, the tube search has been for a current production 845 vacuum tube that sounds as good as the NOS RCAs and NOS Uniteds that a friend brings over to my house occasionally. We both use the deHavilland 845-G mono block SET (single ended triode) amps. My search for a better sounding 845 tube started initially with the Shuguang 845B tube which I reviewed in PFO Issue 15 (September/October 2004). I found the Shuguang 845B tube to be an improvement over the standard Shuguang 845 tube which came stock with my amps. However, the 845B was still a far cry from the sound of my friend's NOS RCA and United 845 tubes. My search continued as several month later in PFO #17 (January/February 2005) I reviewed the Shuguang 845M tube. The 845M was the first metal plate 845 manufactured since the 1930s. It was a significant improvement in sound over the 845B. In my system and to my ears, the 845M sounded better than the NOS United tube (with glass central column on top) and in some aspects as good as the NOS RCAs. Despite the 845M's excellent sound, its production life was very short. The 845M was expensive to manufacture due to a low yield factor in the factory and it had a high failure rate in the field. The word on the web forums was that if your 845M survived the first several hundred hours, and many did not, that the tube would have a long life. My original pair of 845Ms is still going strong after being in almost continuous service since late 2004.
Since the production of the original 845 metal plate the Shuguang factory has produced several new versions of the 845. Each version was an attempt to make a tube that sounded as good as the original metal plate but without its faults of high manufacturing cost, high failure rate in the field, and low power (only 70 watts of plate dissipation rather than the 100-watts of the NOS RCA). While I did not purchase all of these versions, I did purchase two of them. These new versions were usually more reliable and had higher plate dissipation. However, their sound, to my ears, was nowhere near the quality of the Shuguang original metal plate. In December 2007 I purchased another version, the latest iteration of the 845M. It had over 100-watts of plate dissipation, was very dynamic in sound, and seemed to be built like a tank. The sound, however, was veiled and muddy. I actually preferred the sound of my old 845B tubes to this new 845M.
In February 2008 Shuguang produced another new version of the 845. This was labeled the 845W. With this version, the plate dissipation varies considerably from tube to tube. The tubes are tested and sorted into two different batches: those with plate dissipation of at least 70-watts and those with plate dissipation of at least 90-watts which are labeled as the "premium limited edition". Being the incurable optimist that I am, I purchased a pair of the 845W Premium Limited Edition tubes. After listening to the 845W PLE tubes for several hundred hours I asked my friend to bring over his NOS RCA and United tubes so that we could do some A-B-A listening tests. My friend obliged by bringing over a pair of RCA 845s which are the tubes he uses in his deHavilland amps. He also brought over two different pairs of United 845s: one pair had the glass central column on the top of the tube and the other pair did not have the central column.
We then did A-B-A tests with the 845W PLE, the RCAs, the two pairs of Uniteds, and my original Shuguang metal plates. The tests were done by listening to the following CD tracks:
The European Film Music Collection, Silva Screen SILCD1207
Disk 2
Track 1 - Georges Delerue, Chorale from La Nuit Americaine (trumpet solo)
Track 3 - Catalani, La Wally, Aria: Ebben? Ne Andro Lontano (soprano)
Track 9 - Nino Rota, Fellini Satryicon, Theme (English horn)
Track 11 - Philip Sarde, Fort Saganne, Theme (cello)
Van Helsing - Alan Sylvestri, Decca B0002331-12
Track 1 - Transylvania (bass drums)
As the tubes were swapped in and out the bias had to be adjusted so there was a small time delay in doing the listening comparisons. Some of the tests were repeated to make sure we agreed as to what the differences were that we were hearing between the tube pairs. After we were done listening we created a matrix in which we ranked the sound of the five tubes (from 1 (the best) to 5 (the worst)) in seven categories. In case of tie the total points were split; e.g. if two tubes tied for second place, they both received 2.5 points. The seven categories were:
Now, before giving the results of our listening comparisons, remember that these results are 1) totally subjective, and 2) different from the results that you would get if you did the same comparisons with the same tubes in your own system.
The final tabulations were:
United without glass central column - 10.5
845 original metal plate - 23.0
United with glass central column - 34.0
Because we used a ranking system (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th) the difference between the RCA and the United without the glass central column appears larger that it really is. Had we instead graded each tube on a scale of 1 to 100 for each category the difference between the RCA and United without the glass central column would have been much less. However, the order of preference would not have changed.
The United without the glass central column was the clear winner with the RCA not that far behind. What surprised us was how poorly the United with the glass central column sounded. The other surprise was the difference in bass control between the tubes. The bass control ranged from almost no control for the 845 original metal plate to vise-like control for the 845W PLE. The bass control of the RCA and Uniteds fell in between the two extremes, but could be clearly differentiated from each other.
Besides bass control, the 845W PLE was also the winner in the fine detail category. Lots of resolution and inner detail. However, the 845W PLE does not have an even tonal balance. It seems to emphasize the mid and upper midrange and slightly soften the lower midrange. This emphasis on the mid and upper midrange can be perceived as additional detail. Still, in comparison with the United with no glass central column which ranked 2nd in fine detail, the 845W PLE revealed slightly more detail on the CDs. The other strength of the 845W PLE was in dynamics where it was tied for 2nd place with the RCA. The 845W PLE's shortcomings were in the slightly uneven tonal balance discussed above and in a slight graininess or lack of smoothness to the sound. Single ended triode amps are known for their incredibly liquid midrange. That is why so many people are seduced by SET amps. The 845W PLE has a stereotypical liquid SET midrange. However, in comparison with the top ranked United, the RCA and the 845 original metal plate, the 845W PLE was slightly grainier. If you did not do a direct A-B comparison with a better tube you would never notice it.
So, in summary, the 845W PLE is actually quite a good tube. If you do not want to spring the big bucks for NOS 845s the Shuguang 845W PLE at $298 per matched pair plus shipping gives you a lot of bang for the buck. If you play a lot of rock, soundtracks, or heavy metal where bass control is very important you may actually prefer the 845W PLE over the NOS RCA.
If you decide to buy the 845W PLE tubes this should not be a difficult task, however, it may be. The 845W PLE tubes can only be bought off the web from Super-TNT which is a small Chinese company (1-2 man?) that works with Shuguang to develop vacuum tubes for audiophiles. The 845 vacuum tubes are made in small production runs so the tubes are not always in stock. The Super-TNT website itself can also be a challenge as pages crash or other problems crop up. When I purchased my 845W PLEs I could not use my credit card. That portion of the website was inoperative. I had to use PayPal. During major Chinese holidays the company is shut down and no e-mails or purchases are acknowledged. Buying from Super-TNT is not an Amazon.com experience and certain people on the web forums have taken Super-TNT to task because of that. In my own view, I have bought five pairs of tubes from Super-TNT over the last four years with no problems. When one tube went bad shortly after receipt it was replaced free of charge with no questions asked. Yes, Super-TNT has communication and website problems. However, they have always delivered for me. I am also very grateful to them for taking the time and effort to do the research and development to develop 845 vacuum tubes that are slowly approaching the sound quality of NOS RCA and Uniteds. Compare the sound of a stock Shuguang 845 of four years ago to the sound of the 845W PLE. Progress is being made. Hopefully, in another four years Shuguang will be producing 845 tubes that equal the sound of the NOS RCAs and Uniteds.

is there any way to have a mini-itx board with dual display support? would i'd need to use the pci slot for it, that is the only way i can think of it supporting dual display. i dont mind having one vga, 1 composite out, does the via mini-itx boards allow the use of the tv-out and the vga to be used at dual displays (extended desktop not like mirror display). on the same note, i want to use one screen to display the front end and the second screen to display vehicle diag info
No announcement yet.
mini-itx w/dual display?
new posts
you can do a split screen with a VGA splitter/booster and windows. XP supports it.
Dont' know what VGA splitter/booster he's talking about, but I think pretty much the only VGA alternative out there is Matrox's Dual-Head 2 Go.
This setup lets you do extended desktops, which you may be able to do what you want with.
Matrox's Dual-Head 2 Go is a peace of sh#t
It's a great concept but it lacks support. It's really picky about the chipset you are using and sometimes it doesn't work on the chipset it's capatible with. Also you have to run your res at 1024 *768 per monitor. The only realiable solution is to use a pci dual video card. Disable the onboad video and run both vga video from the card. Depending on the board some via boards will not handle dual support very well. I tried it on a M2 K with 64mb of video ram and the cpu % was about 90 or more most of the time while running video on one of the screens. I used the same board in ibase 896 with 1.73 pentium M and the cpu usage was about 25%. Also since most vehicle power supplies can not handle the real high end pci graphic cards I recommend 128mb or less and with out a fan on the card.Opus case. MB 899 core duo 2.0ghz

I agree with the above, no where does it list the graphics chips used on any of the EPIA motherboards as compatible on the website. I would have to pass until someone proves it works.

Well dual display worsk on the MII 12000 board but the only problem is that it doesn't have alot of options. Like I am using RR and want to be able to view dvd on the second monitor but RR will not allow it to display on the second monitor. RR takes control of it.
Thread resurrection
I found this thread while searching for Dual Display Options (after having searched for all other variants of the subject).
Are there any updates to this topic? I'm looking for a mini-ITX solution that will allow me to run 2 touchscreen monitors (both lilliput if it matters). So I will need 2 VGA outputs. My plan is to have GPS or gauges on the upper monitor and the music playback front end on the lower monitor.
What's the best way to accomplish this?
I do not want to use anything larger than Mini ITX and I do not want to run 2 car computers!
most will have a dvi and vga, so you will need an adaptor and then you will have dual vga, note though it will have to be a nvidia or ati/amd setup, as they will probably have it, not sure if intel makes dual video's but it might have. My money is on geforce/ati
Here is another solution:
since its usb it'll use the cpu's resource.
We've used the usb VGA adapters at work and they do pretty well. I don't know how they would work with DVDs though. You might also look at the new USB monitors. It might be cheaper than a USB adapter and monitor solution.Click for my projects

Does this USB work in the same way? or am I way off
No that one still requires VGA for input. The USB I would imagine is for talking to the computer.
The USB touch screens are USB only and are pretty cool. I just hope they don't sacrifice much picture quality.
i'm currently using a d945gclf w/ onboard video disabled and a geforce fx5200 with two 7" lilliput touchscreens. I'm running Centrafuse on the main display and iGO 8 on the secondary. Works great and both touchscreens are functional.'03 Acura TL Type S

Mistaken Identity Makes A Florida Man A Multimillionaire Over $100 Check!
You can't make this stuff up. This was a story in the Miami Herald that actually started back in 2008. Check this out! This is amazing!!
A gentleman by the last name of Valladares, sporting a Miami Heat hat, walked into a Florida Bank of America in July 2008 to cash a check for $100. The teller thought he was someone else that everyone was on the lookout for -mostly because the other guy also was sporting a Miami Heat cap. Ironically, the "Miami Heat" arrested the guy, who was "handcuffed by police and kicked in the head", reports the Miami Herald.
Well, that was pretty painful to go through. He has suffered from blurred vision, migraine headaches and other problems, but the reward for this mistaken identity was 3 million dollars
What do you think? Do you think he should have gotten that much? More? Less? Just wondering. You can lave your comments below!

Until mid-2007, I was a professional software developer and web technology expert based in metro Denver, Colorado. I still dabble in code, but only as a hobby now.
My contributions to the world of open-source software are fairly modest:
Also, in the early 2000s, I wrote and compiled a collection of XML and XSLT related resources of interest to developers, especially those who need to be brought up to speed on Unicode and character encoding issues.
After the early success of that venture, in late 2002, I resolved to share as much of my expertise as possible through Wikipedia and any other public outlets.
See, I strongly feel that whatever you learn, you should teach. It's something you have to make time for, and you have to look at the people you're helping as potential colleagues, rather than competitors. Too many people jealously guard their tech knowledge, fearful of their job security. They've stood on the shoulders of giants, but they aren't going to let anyone stand on their shoulders...and what does that make them?
