Parallels is a much safer and faster way of running any windows OS. I've been a beta tester for parallels since prior to its first public release.
Don't risk your Mac. Seriously. OS X and parallels make windows work better than a PC or direct-boot system can.
Shower of apple nutmegs
It's quite simple to fix
Merry Christmas
Iv just put a SSD into my iMac just under 3 years old and it flys
Saved my self a bucket of cash
Any way this is not the fix I don't rate Mr Cook
Apple are making to many mistakes iTunes mountain lion now this
You don't run Apple on your iMac so why say you run VMware?
VMware is the company, Fusion is the product...
Might as well phrase this article like; You can't run Microsoft on the new Apple without running VMware
Bootcamp is a more annoying, slower way to use Windows on a Mac. VM's in something like VirtualBox is the best way to do it.
iMacs With [...] Fusion Hard Drives Unable to Use Boot Camp
Of course THEY CAN'T. Fusion drive is a SOFTWARE
Phillip, this time you copied something you did not understood at all. Fix it please.
Fusion drive is 128Gb ssd + 3TB hdd combined into logical volume by the OSX.
Windows does not have capability do operate on such volume.
BootCamp does not install on 3TB drive by itself alone (probably cause of firmware limitations, no idea atm.). It does not matter to bootcamp whether there is 3Tb drive alone or 3Tb "fusion drive" (which is 3Tb drive + 128Gb ssd). Bootcamp creates partition on the HDD omitting the ssd completely.
If you're an IT professional like myself, you would run your Mac as per normal, while having Parallels running in the background and, and just swipe to the windows screen, go about your Microsoft Windows Apps and Management tools, then swipe back to your Mac desktop and go about working on your Mac...
Since this peaked my interest when it came to gaming and I'm thinking of getting a windows game. If I understand correctly bootcamp good for gaming and parallels bad for gaming. Aye?
Honestly, I won't use Bootcamp anymore anyway. I love the flexibility that Parallels affords me. I only have to setup Windows on one machine, then I can copy it to any others that need the same setup and input a new License Key and away I go. No more installing program after program after program and tons of updates, etc.
You cannot get better performance running a VM compared to running natively. FACT!
That's not even taking into account that virtualization of GPUs is still at its infancy.
Stop trying to talk as if you know what you are talking about.
Ok we'll when I run test in windows on both, all tests are better on the vm, also, see what kind of user performance your going to get if you run it on boot camp. Because I do I fact have a boot camp partition, along with parallels, and I'll state this now, the windows in parallels is not the boot camp partition. I set it up like that just to see what would be better, so by experience, I do no what I'm talking about.
This, I found from New Features on Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.
Where is my DX 10 and 11?
Don't believe me, here's my linkedin profile.
Feidhlim O'Leary - Ireland | LinkedIn
Even with bare-metal hypervisors there is a performance hit with running a VM versus natively. The hit is quite small using a hypervisor like ESXi or Hyper-V but it's there. Hardware Layer -> Virtualization Layer -> VM
With hosted VMs running in VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, VMware Workstation etc, you are running a full OS on top of the Virtualization Application, on top of a full OS. There is a quite a large overhead. Hardware -> OS Layer -> Virtualization Layer -> VM

Courtney Love Wants to Make Amends With Dave Grohl
On stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Courtney Love and Dave Grohl shared a hug.
Love, the widow of the late Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain, and Grohl, Nirvana's drummer, have had a rocky relationship over the past two decades.
Love and Grohl have had legal battles over the partnership which manages the band's archives.
But, after that embrace at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Love is saying that it is time to bury the hatchet. During a talk at Cannes Lions 2014, Love was shown a photo of Grohl.
"It's time to make amends," Love said regarding Grohl.
Dave Grohl recently told the Hollywood Reporter that the hug was sincere. "We've had a rocky road. We've had a bumpy past, but at the end of the day we're a big family and when we hugged each other it was a real hug."

Occasionally, the mass air flow sensor can go lean and set a code P0170 for fuel system lean. This in not an oxygen sensor problem. If there are no vacuum leaks, the mass air flow sensor may need to be replaced. Our technicians remind us to use a factory part because the aftermarket rebuilds are very inconsistent.

- The main goal is to create numerical programs directly from Feynman rules. It is actually developed for few known models like the electroweak standard model and QED, and the limit of application is, for the moment, the 2 to 2 particles reactions involving only external fermions
- Absence
- 'absence' is a CGI application designed to help keep track of people in a group. It is intended to do one thing: allow the user to display the plans of all people in a group in a way that makes it easy to see who's present and who's absent. It is not intended for anything else. The resolution is one day. It could easily be adapted do handle reservations for any set of objects, as long as a resolution of a day is acceptable. An example of a possible use is reserving machines/computers in a laboratory.
- AeroCalc
- AeroCalc is a python package that performs various aeronautical engineering calculations. Currently, it contains the following main modules:
- airspeed
- default_units
- ssec
- std_atm
- unit_conversion
- Alpine3D
- Alpine3D is a spatially distributed (surface), three dimensional (atmospheric) model for analyzing and predicting dynamics of snow-dominated surface processes in mountainous topography. It includes models for snow cover (SNOWPACK), vegetation and soil, snow transport, radiation transfer and runoff which can be enabled or disabled on demand.
- Astro Catalog
- The Astro::Catalog module is an generic, object-oriented astronomical catalogue. It provides access to the online USNO-A2 and Guide Star Catalogues provided by ESO/ST-ECF, and additionally provides read/write access to ARK CLUSTER format files.
- Astroconst
- Astroconst makes header files in C, Fortran, Perl, IDL, Java, and GNUplot defining many astrophysical constants useful for scientific programming. A single modifiable data file automatically generates these header files, so you can add new constants to the data file and generate new header files in all appropriate languages without fiddling with each header file individually.
- Astronomical Papers Library
- A C library containing theories of motion of solar system objects that have been published in various astronomical journals such as Astronomy & Astrophysics, the Astronomical Journal, and Astronimcal Papers prepared for the use of the American Ephemeris. Currently this includes such theories as Newcomb's "Tables of the Sun" and all the planets as well as the theory known as "The Improved Lunar Ephemeris".
- Asymptote
- 'Asymptote' is a script-based vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. It is a programming language, not just a graphics program, so it can use the best features of both scripts and GUIs. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, so they can be tailored to specific applications. Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX for high-quality PostScript output.
- Atlc
- 'atlc' (Arbitrary Transmission Line Calculator) is a computer aided design (CAD) package for designing and analysing electrical transmission lines and directional couplers of totally arbitrary cross section, with an arbitrary number of different dielectrics. The analysis programs in 'atlc' lets users find the electrical properties of a transmission line or coupler whose physical dimensions are known. The design programs lets users physically realise a transmission line or coupler with certain given electrical properties. The package supports multiple CPUs, as some parts are CPU intensive. It is most likely to be useful to radio amateurs.
- Avaneya: Viking Lander Remastered DVD
- Whether you are a fan of science fiction, a space–science enthusiast, hobbyist, photographer, gamer or a patron of grass–roots libre arts and technology, you are sure to find the first successful images from the surface of Mars highly captivating. These mind blowing images were taken by NASA's Viking landers during the highly ambitious, billion–dollar mission first launched in 1975. However, many images were nearly lost to history due to magnetic tape deterioration and archaic proprietary technology. With NASA's blessing, our team developed the technology to recover many of these images. This research tool was part of the design phase of our parent project, Avaneya — our upcoming libre cerebral science fiction game for the GNU operating system set on Mars, described in the words of Richard Stallman as an exciting, pioneering project. Originally an internal research tool, overwhelming public interest compelled us to release the technology on this DVD for all. Now everyone can relive the original breathtaking experience that captured the world's attention and marked the first successful moment in history that humanity saw Mars — not as a distant, impersonal, celestial body, beheld through a telescope for centuries, but as a tangible and alien world well within its reach.

It was the first room in the basement, the objects seemed to be recup from a beach and were making sounds when activated. they were moving on rails, there were 2 projectors on frontal, and one retro-projecting + 4 strong side diagonal lights which were performing as much as the objects.
Projection of submarine, water,… can't say exactly. At time, projections were made to fit exactly the objects, inhabiting them. I dived into another world.

Lumpkin missed Northwestern's first four games, sidelined through each game and practice. His only action game in garbage time during a blowout of TCU. The role Lumpkin earned was gone and he was back to square one.
"He was probably going to be one of the first guys off the bench," Northwestern coach Bill Carmody said of Lumpkin. "Now he's not. He gets it, he's not quite ready."
Lumpkin rejoined his teammates at practice last week, but was not in playing shape after time away from the court. In addition to retaining his role, he must return to in-season form.
"It's more of a setback," Lumpkin said of his missed time. "Everything's going to work out in the end. It's too bad that it happened at that time, but I'll get back in the flow of things. I'll be alright."
However, Carmody's greatest concern isn't with Lumpkin's body. He hopes the freshman can get his mind ready to play.
"From the neck up, he's got to get focused again, get ready to go, and consistently play hard to get competitive," said Carmody. "When you miss 10 days, for a freshman, that's a lot."
For Lumpkin, Northwestern's complex Princeton offense has become familiar, though it took some time. With knowledge of the schemes, the swingman can make an impact.
"I really like the system," said Lumpkin. "It took me a while to catch on. Once I finally caught on to the offense, it really started to click and flow."
Lumpkin hopes he can be a "glue guy" for Northwestern, as he was poised to be before mono struck. He's eager to contribute.
"I was just disappointed that it happened to me," he said. "I'm getting better, working every day to get back in shape, we're winning, and everything is going well."

So welcome back, you wonderful people. So much has happened since my last post. Development on the game is moving at an astonishing pace – there is LEGO flying left, right and centre, everyone on the team running around in a complete blur. So many new and exciting things are going into the game all the time, it really is astonishing seeing all of the brilliantly talented guys and girls on the team crafting away, making this amazing LEGO adventure as brilliant as possible. Every single day in the office I get to see so much new content it blows my mind, only today I saw the fully finished Raft level, and trust me – you guys are going to have so much fun playing that one! Each and every level we finish seems to be more awesome than the last, and it is marvellous seeing the journey these levels have taken from initial paper design to finished quality.
Anyway, more important than that, you guys want new news, new facts, information that will satisfy your hunger for all things LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes™, right?!!!
I recently returned from Los Angeles, where some of the TT guys and I were lucky enough to be showing off LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes™ to the great and the good of the world's videogame journalists at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). A spectacularly busy three days of non-stop demos and interviews, showing people just how terrific the game is, which was so enjoyable. We started the show off with a reveal of a new trailer for the game, so if you haven't watched this, then you really should – you'll enjoy it. Watch the Marvel Super Heroes Trailer
Whilst at E3 we announced new characters, including Magneto. We revealed that the game will be coming out on the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles, as well as all the majority of other consoles and handheld devices. And we showed off the Asgard level, which features Loki and the Destroyer armor, which our LEGO builders in the office did a sensational job of creating from LEGO. The stand at E3 was a constant hub of activity. All of the consoles were on the go non-stop, which shows just how much people are wanting to get a look at the game – well, that and the jaw-dropping LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes™ wall behind the consoles. I'm not sure of the exact number of bricks in it, but it definitely drew the crowds!!!
Then came little bit of sleep. OK, quite a lot of sleep, as I was exhausted, and a quick airplane trip back across the Atlantic later and I'm back in the office, catching up on the latest events in the office, letting everyone know how well the game was received by everyone. But there is no rest, not when we want to make you the greatest game you'll have ever played... EVER!!!
So the frantic pace in the office from before E3 is now even more frantic. We are trying to get all of the content into the game, all of the levels, LEGO models, characters, everything... and then some extra bits! When you buy the game it very well might burst out of the box at you, it's so full.
Anyway, back on track, more new exciting things that you want to know about. In tandem with us trying to get all of the game content in, we are now working on some exclusive new content for Comic Con in San Diego this month. This is a really big deal for us, as it is going to be the first time that you – yes, YOU, the gamers that will eventually buy this game and play this game – will be able to get your hands on it and actually have a play of LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes™... EXCITING, RIGHT?!!! Obviously, you will only be able to play it if you are going to attend Comic Con in San Diego. If you are, though, then make sure you hunt the game down and come and play it. I'll be there, so if you want, you can come and play a level in 2 player with me – that's when the game is at its best.
So as well as the game being playable there, we are also going to make several announcements that will totally knock your socks off. You'll be pinching yourself when you see what we will be showing and announcing – it really is that good! So if you are there, keep your ear to the ground (not literally of course because someone might accidentally stand on it), so that you can be one of the first to hear the news and see what we will be showing off. I can't go into any detail here. That's right, I can't even sneakily hint at what this stuff might be – this is super secret stuff, protected by SHIELD itself!!!
...however, I think I might be able to sneak a new character reveal your way – one that NOBODY else knows about yet… so a kind of LEGO blog exclusive, I guess. That's probably why some you are still reading, right? I'll even see if I can sneak a screenshot up for you too! So let's see, I'll do it in secret code again – you know, just to make sure the information gets to you without anyone knowing. Actually, even better, let's do it like a game show – so I'll give you clues, and then you can buzz in when you know the answer! Well, you can pretend to buzz in, as I actually don't have any buzzers, and probably wouldn't be able to build any out of LEGO that would link to every one of you. OK, so pretend to buzz in...
Test your buzzer... everything working, OK? Right, let's go...
The character is a classic villain of the X-Men...
He is usually pretty grouchy...
Nope, sorry wrong answer... just kidding....
He is a character that you would associate with Wolverine...
He doesn't really like Wolverine....

The Ottawa Senators added offensive depth on Friday, signing unrestricted free-agent forward Clarke MacArthur to a two-year deal.
The contract will carry an annual cap hit of $3.25 million.
Ottawa, which saw longtime captain and franchise icon Daniel Alfredsson leave Canada to sign with Detroit earlier on Friday, adds a two-time 20-goal scorer in MacArthur.
The 28-year-old Alberta notched a career-best 21 goals with Toronto in 2010-11 and added 20 markers in the following season. He had just eight goals and 20 points in 40 games for the Maple Leafs during the lockout-shortened campaign.
Overall, MacArthur, a third-round pick by Buffalo in 2003, has registered 93 goals and 120 assists over 403 NHL games.

if you want to see how dunes work compare Bradley Beach to Belmar after the storm.
Bradley had 20' high dunes which were started in 2001 with wooden snow fencing and recycled Christmas trees. The dunes were full of grasses and dune vegetation too, like a fortified wall of sand.
Their huge dunes saved the boardwalk and much of the ocean front properties. The dunes got wiped out by the storm but they served their purpose.
Belmar had these little 3' dunes next to their boardwalk, more like landscaping areas. Now they have no boardwalk and the town suffered extensive flooding and damage. They are already talking about building the same silly little boardwalk, and maybe putting in a sea wall as well...complete waste of 16 million dollars.

SMWC Students Give Back in Nashville during Fall Break
October 28th, 2013 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College students exhibited their true giving spirit by sacrificing their fall break to be of service to others. In the past, the alternative spring break community service trip has been a huge success. To offer SMWC students another opportunity to extend their services beyond the Terre Haute community and experience a world outside of Indiana, Campus Minister, Andrea Beyke, organized the first alternative fall break trip at SMWC. Beyke and Executive Director of Major and Planned Gifts, April Simma, traveled with the thirteen students to Nashville, Tenn. to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, Catholic Charities, and Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. A Campus Ministry Grant from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis subsidized a portion of the trip.
"We began this experience by calling to mind why we serve and who calls us to serve," stated Beyke. "We reflected on Jesus' mission to us: Feed My Lambs. What does this mean? How can we feed lambs and tend sheep in today's world? More specifically, how can we work to feed the lambs and tend the sheep in Nashville? This theme lasted throughout the four days of our service experience."
The group spent Thursday morning at Nashville's Ronald McDonald House, which serves Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Families of children in Vanderbilt's hospital are offered free lodging, meals and a home-like atmosphere while their children receive inpatient and/or outpatient treatment. The group was able to help the Ronald McDonald House prepare for the wintery cold and flu season by disinfecting toys, cleaning the kitchen and washing the windows. They also helped with the landscaping to make sure the house kept its home-like ambience for guests.
Friday morning, the group volunteered at Loaves and Fishes, Community Meals for the Hungry, a ministry of Nashville's Catholic Charities. They spent the morning with Wendy Overlock, Program Coordinator, and Mohammad, a refugee from Syria. Catholic Charities helps refugees come to the United States and provides them with a place to work. The group helped sort clothes, clean and put together toiletry bags for the refugees and clients.
Both Saturday and Sunday, the group helped Vanderbilt Children's Hospital set up for their "We Care for Kids Day." This event was free to the public and was a day to rejoice in children. There were many booths that promoted health and the well-being of a child, including a variety of fun activities. The country band, Trick Pony, provided live music.
"I went on the trip because service is a wonderful thing," states Alejandra Garcia '16, Equine Business Management major. "My favorite part was getting to know my fellow Woodsies even more. We really came together throughout this experience."
The students were also able to sightsee in Nashville and enjoy the culture, touring sights including the Parthenon, the Hermitage, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Grand Old Opry where they even had the opportunity to meet country legend, Neal McCoy.
"Our encounters on this service trip should only be a beginning and a trigger that initiates a life of service," states Beyke. "We can achieve this life of service through investing in our faith, finding a supportive community and working for social justice. Hopefully the students who went on this alternative fall break trip were able to experience this firsthand and find a way to live it in daily life."

I want to develop an ecommerce website.I just confuse, which platform want to choose magento,OScommere,prestashop,wordpress,etc..15 open source option i think.
Before anyone can give you a meaningful suggestion it's important that we understand your business and goals to know what's right. Your signature implies that you design sites but is this one for you? Is it for an established business or a brand new venture? How seriously will you be getting behind it? Do you need any special integrations or features beyond a standard cart?
As Ted suggests, every online store has different needs, so what may be perfect for one may not work or might be overkill for another. We recently switched the shopping cart that we recommend in our online eCommerce training course. We took a lot of things into consideration, tested more than a dozen platforms, and ultimately chose BigCommerce as the best solution for meeting the needs of the majority of websites.
Not only are the various features of the shopping cart important, but being able to actually use the software is a huge component in your decision. Magento, for instance, is a great platform but had a much higher learning curve that we thought would be too difficult for the majority of our members - especially ones that were brand new to eCommerce. The only way you are going to know for sure is to utilize the free trial period that all respectable shopping cart companies offer. It took us months of testing to ultimately pick one. Our three finalists were BigCommerce, Americommerce and CoreCommerce, by the way.
Whatever platform you decide upon, I would recommend getting a hosted solution rather than trying to host it yourself. Non-hosted solutions are never 100% PCI compliant, which could cost you far more money in non-compliance fees (not mention lawsuits if there was a breach) than the little bit you save by hosting sites yourself.
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.i will workout these
Hi, I'm going to hijack this thread since it's the same question I have. But, I know what I want, just don't know the best way to get there.
My background: I have about 8 years experience in PHP/MySQL development. Most is self taught as my employer was too cheap to send me to training :). I spent most of my time creating surveys in and intranet environment, so security was not as huge a concern as internet. Thus, I don't know all that much about how to make things hack proof.
About my store: I have an embroidery business that I run from my home. I want to go online to help increase sales. A customer will need to choose their base item (shirt, cap, saddle pad, koozie, etc...) and then select a monogram, name, design, etc..., thread color.
What I need: I need for product variations to be flexible. For instance, certain fonts will only work for a 3-letter monogram and will not work for a name. So, if a customer selects that they want their name on a saddle pad, I don't want to show the fonts that won't work with a name in the drop down. Also, if someone want a Koozie, I don't want to show designs that are too wide for a koozie with has a max width of 3".
What I don't want/need: I already have a url and host at HostGator. I don't want to move everything to a different host if I don't have to. Also, as in BigCommerce, $39.95/mo is a bit steep for my budget right now.
I have been playing around with ZenCart, but unless I write my own module for product variations, it won't work for me.
I've played around with WordPress/Cart66/Gravity Forms, but can't seem to find any documentation to figure out how to get the three to work together. I know there's a way, but I just cannot seem to pry the information out of any of the forum moderators.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,AlisaDancing Bay Embroidery
As far as my knowledge is concerned mangento is most popular one but wait a minute. for whom you are developing your store? Does website owner has the technical knowledge? If not than better is to go for Prestashop as it requires less learning curve to get started with.
I am using prestashop, it's much easier and flexible for a newbie.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD
I'm developing for myself. I thought opening and running my own business would be less stressful than being a programmer for a big company with a jerk for a boss. :nono: (:
I will look at Magento and PrestaShop. I looked at available themes for Magento and was not that impressed. I have not looked at PrestaShop themes yet. I like the ZenCart themes and found several that I really liked, but alas, I cannot get product variation with conditional logic. At this point I'm thinking of going back to WordPress/Cart66/GravityForms because with GravityForms, I can get that conditional logic. Formatting is a bit limited, but hey, if I can get slick variations, maybe layout is the least of my problems.
OpenCart is the best one. Not sure if Megnto will be good for bhadriram's needs.
Tell me about OpenCart. My main interest is in conditional logic for product variations. If I have a customer who would like to add embroidery to an item, then:
They have these choices of Personalization:
Fonts differ depending on whether they choose a Monogram or Name because some of the fonts won't work with straight text, so this is my first conditional logic. Also, if the customer chooses a single monogram, the I only give them a small text box which is limited to 1 character. 3 Letter monogram is 3 text boxes each limited to 1 character, and Name/Text is 2 text boxes limited to 12 characters each.
I have this all worked out on paper, so I know what I need for each product variation.
The only thing so far that I've found that will do this is Gravity Forms which is a $39 to $199 plugin for WordPress. However, between my template, shopping cart, and gravity forms, there is not a lot of help. I know it is possible to integrate the 3, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it all and don't get much help from the different forums.
If OpenCart will do what I need, then I have no qualms about at least giving it a try.
you can personalize the product by using variation module. Then you will just need to configure it.
Question is, with the variation module, can you use conditional logic? i.e. If this is selected then show that.
in this case you will need to code a bit the variation module. I know lots e-commerce shopping cart solutions. No one offers such a module.
OpenCart system is good choice.
Ah, but Gravity Forms which is paid Wordpress plugin does. I wish they would write modules for the true ecommerce shopping cart solutions.
Install the WordPress 3, and installed the eShop plugin. wham bam thank you ma'am.
I have the same problem with you, starting a ecommerce business is not easy. Traffic and high conversion rate is my target.
I'm back to my origional plan of WordPress, and ecommerce theme, Cart66, and Gravity Forms. Cart66 is pretty light weight I've read, but Gravity Forms beefs it up quite a bit. If you have lots of conditional logic on showing/hiding options in your form, then I haven't found another way around it. Now, Gravity Forms will work with other WP shopping cart plugins, but good luck finding which ones. The only way I found out about Gravity Forms was from reading in Cart66 support forums. However, when I read in Gravity Forms support forums, I read about people using other shopping cart plugins.
So a Google search came up with these: Cart66 (PHPurchase), Jingoshop, eStore, MarketPress, WooCommerce. I've posted a question on the Gravity Forms support forum to see is I can get a list of the carts that will work with GF, so if anyone responds, I'll post the info here.
Tnx, Alisa
Best known open source CMS to develop E-commerce site according to me is magento. Its dashboard is easy to use and maintain and tutorials on it are also available free on the net.
But does Magento allow for a conditional logic order form? If it doesn't have that then it won't work for me. So far, the only solution I've found is WordPress/Cart66/Gravity Forms. Cart66 is optional, but it is one of the carts that will work with Gravity Forms. However, Gravity Forms is exclusive to WordPress. I would truly love a true ecommerce solution that has a conditional logic order form built in, but so far cannot find one. Tnx, Alisa

Why is woz still getting attention. Sure he had a very excellent understanding about apple but he still hardly knows more than we do about upcoming devices etc. anyone could read the market and look for where apple will try to make a bigger push. The thing about predictions like this, is the fact is apple will move into the business market more whether in a large or small way and someone who publicly announced this before it happens will look like a genius when it was inevitable.
I agree woz is all washed up

Cat Welcomes Owner Home After Six Months Away
In a (probably fake) video, a cat owner returns home after being gone for six months. The cat does not seem to care.
At all.
This is slightly different than how dogs recact when their owners return.
Are dogs simply better than cats?


text: mrfill June 05, 2013 12:07 PM Interesting interview which needs to be read from beginning to end before commenting - future posters note... @sokuko - I think the headline will create a lot of argument, based on stats. MM 125 - 46 starts, 10 wins, 14 podiums SR 125 - 33 starts, 1 win, 2 podiums MM M2 - 32 starts, 16 wins, 25 podiums SR M2 - 56 starts, 2 wins, 10 podiums I think a fairer comparison is with Stefan Bradl (not such a bad thing) and the biggest change in Scott this year is in attitude. He's now riding like a seasoned pro and the results are coming and hopefully, will continue to come. As for MotoGP, the biggest problem is likely to be finding a decent ride on a prototype unless someone retires, and that then narrows the field to Ducati. The greatest disadvantage maybe is that Scott doesnt have the marketing potential that Marquez or Espargaro has to attract big money sponsors and nowadays that is often more important to a team than riding skill. Sad but true. Reply Report abuse 9 agree 0 disagree

Hey everyone,
I am somewhat new to this whole thing and I recently installed BT4 to my hard drive. I followed a tutorial to update the kernel and one of the steps was apt-get update. This worked except for I cannot install anything because of the following message which I am not sure how to fix...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-scapy: Depends: scapy2 but it is not installed
scapy: Depends: scapy2 but it is not installed

To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
so basically, from what I could gather through reading, this problem is one that is broken on Backtacks end and it is working on being fix. So eventually i will be able to fix it be doing apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade?

Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
Here's one more interesting point on Reagan. The final straw that broke
Russia's back was when he blew up their oil pipeline. Turns out they stole
our software to start the pipeline.
We heard about it from the French who were told by a Russian defector.
So Casey came up with the brilliant scheme to let them keep stealing the soft ware only it was rigged with explosives.
They had to be careful and did it so the Russians would only put them in remote areas. The explosives could have leveled a village or town. It was
the largest non nuclear explosion in history.
So they got em and put them in and the pipeline exploded. The beauty of it all was they couldn't complain about it. They would have been admitting
When Gorbachev ended the cold war he said we have to improve our
computer technology. He referred to the pipeline.
They must have because a new one was recently built and is working and
Russia became the #1 oil producing country in the world. Had that happened in the 80s the cold war would still be going on
Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
All of the rest, haha. Pretty much every President between Lincoln and Teddy were all pretty bad. They just literally did nothing.
FDR completely manipulated the system and took advantage of the constitution and his power. The income tax can be traced back to his "New Deal" approach to the economy. Jimmy Carter was a wimp. Lyndon Johnson was owned by the mob and IMO was more behind JFK's assassination than we'll ever know because he was a war monger and wanted to go to war over in Vietnam. JFK didn't. Speaking of which, he was a fraud on many accounts.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
In fact we can attribute our quick satellite communication technology to the Cold War and US Efforts to develop photographic technology on satellites to do flyovers of Russia back in the early 60's. That's how they got the idea of going to the moon in the first place. Back in the late 50's we found out that you could actually bounce radio wave signaling off of the moon and redirect it to another location a great distance away.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
That's right but we actually didn't get into the space race until the Ruskies sent Sputnik up.
Man, that blew everyone's minds. I was a kid and remember what the hell. How did they
do that.
You mentioned Teddy Roosevelt. What a prick. Talk about 3 terms, after completing two terms and getting his pal Taft in as Prez who rubber stamped all his programs including the worse legislation ever passed - income tax. But Teddy was all for it and actually wanted it passed while he was Pres. In fact, federal income taxes goes back to Lincoln who wanted them to pay for the civil war debt. Only the rich would pay taxes but it was the worse thing a prez ever signed.
Then Teddy got pissed at Taft and actually ran a third time vs him splitting the GOP which allowed Woodrow Wilson to win and establish the Federal Reserve Bank. The income tax was
needed for extra revenue of course. All those years of high tarriffs and isolationism the
GOPs imposed created the need for more revenue. When the US restricted imports,
then our exports were cut abroad. They made things more expensive here. That's why
we need free trade.
The GOPs were very progressive in 1913 just as they are now with their liberal establishent
but Teddy tried to get a tax bill before 1913. Of course the DEMs were more than willing to accommodate them and when Wilson was elected he established the IRS to collect the revenue.
Only people making over $3,000 pr yr paid taxes then so the rich were paying their fair
share-lol. My grand fathers did not make $3,000 pr yr in 1913. They paid no income taxes,
same with my dad, until WW2 came along. Nobody complained because we were fighting
to stay alive but people thought things would go back to before. It never did.
Congress passed the 16th Amendment and started a spending spree that has gone out of
control with this president.
OBAMA is the worse creating more debt than all the guys put together-lol.

Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
One last interesting point on Teddy. He started a new party and called it the Bull Moose Party.
It got its name after he was shot. He was giving one of his famous long winded speeches that lasted over an hour.
Then he was shot and someone said
he stood there after getting shot like a bull moose so the name stuck.
Here's an x-ray of the bullet hole in his chest-lol.
BTW, after Taft lost the election, Harding appointed him to the supreme court and he became chief justice. It was the job he always wanted. He did Teddy a favor by running
as his VP and then Pres to rubber stamp his programs.
It was the greatest comeback after a presidential defeat in history.
Taft was so fat he actually got stuck in the White House bath tub. It took 5 guys to pull
him out and they got a bigger tub. Like his father before him and the Bush's, Taft was
a member of the Skulls and Bones at Harvard. His famous relative also got the famous
Taft Hartley act signed.
That's at least 3 known presidents and 1 SC justice and 1 congressman from the Skulls-lol.

I just watched that movie the other week. Haha.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
Yea, at the end the movie says there are at least 5 known presidents and several SC justices
and a lot of congressmen are from the Skulls. Cool movie to see if anyone missed it.
Speaking of the Skulls, they have real skulls in their trophy case. They are Geronomo's
remains-lol. Bush's father, Prescott Bush was in the Army during WW1 and was stationed
at Ft Sill, OK where Geronomo was buried. So pops got some pals and dug the remains
up and sent his skull and bones back to their club house at Yale.
There have been many articles interviewing people who swear they saw the bones in
their trophy case-lol.
Geronomo's grand son sued W Bush and Yale to get the bones back. They believe the
bones are needed to find the trail to the next life. If they're dug up, they will never reach
it so his descendants are blowing their mind over the prank.
Prescott Bush worked for Rockerfeller as an aid and Rockerfeller helped him buy his first
company - one that made drills and tools. Most of the oil wells out west use drills owned
by H Bush today. He was sent out there to watch over the business.
Barbara Bush's father was the banker who watched Rockerfeller's money. Her marriage
to H was arranged. When she got engaged she told her friends she would be first
They also owned Zepata. That company was used to launder the money by the CIA to
finance the Bay of Pigs operation. As a result of that H Bush later became its director.
The company was sold to Malcolm Glazer who owns the Bucs and tried to bring a team
HEY SOLO - I have a lost of useless info stored up there don't I? I always in trivia pursuit-lol.

Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
I think the Geronimo bones thing is an urban legend. I don't know for sure and I guess we'll never know haha.
Part of my reasoning for liking Teddy was because he was the one who really put the Navy on the map and took it from a fledgling couple of ships and turned it into an actual war-capable fleet. Ever heard of The Great White Fleet? He had a bunch of battleships and destroyers painted white and then they sailed around the world porting in multiple countries so the rest of the world could see how advanced the American Navy was.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Dumped from 24x7 Ravens forum on April 25th
No doubt both Lincoln & FDR exercised federal govt. authority beyond what any of either's predecessors could have imagined. But not for self-aggrandizement or evil ends - rather to address crises that were spinning out of control and could not be addressed by the then contemporary models of govt. To me, that's what makes both great. To rail against the New Deal in 2012 is easy. To rail against it in the 1930s was to assign multitudes of Americans to suffering that was not of their own causing and of which they could do little themselves to alleviate. At least something like the WPA or CCC asked people to work for their govt. aid (and most were damn happy to do so) and left us w/ useful infrastructural benefits. Don't bitch at FDR for the continuance of social welfare programs and regulatory behavior. There have been how many Congresses since his death that have elected not only to not dismantle what was set in motion, but have expanded it? Maybe that has something to do w/ an electorate that won't vote their own benefits away (though they complain loudly about all the other "chiselers" & their benefits). There was much to like about the New Deal's legacy in my book. Glass-Steagall Act anyone? If it hadn't been repealed, we might not have had to bail out those Too Big To Fail a-holes.
Lincoln a tyrant? Well, perhaps technicallly yes, when one looks at the suspension of habeas corpus, etc. But I can't help but view people who call Lincoln a tyrant as people who favor secession, which was in the long run a bad idea in and of itself, even before one gets to why the Confederacy wanted "states rights." As I asked my high school history students for 20 years, "States' rights to do what?"? Slavery was America's original sin. Secession was a desperate effort to perpetuate slavery. Lincoln led an effort to put down the rebellion/secession. That's a good thing. End of story. If you disagree w/ the gist of that, may the Lord have mercy on your soul.

Oh yea, Teddy was a tough son of a bitch. He built the Panama Canal after the French failed, put the military on the map with those ships and paraded them around the world. He said walk quietly but carry a big stick.
I'm just saying he was a prick for splitting the
GOP for a 3rd term when no one else has had one like NC posted above and for trying to
get federal income tax passed when he was Pres.
BTW, the $10M the govt paid Panama for the canal rights was given to JP Morgan's bank to pay. Rockefeller bought the bank when Morgan died. All in a family ya know.
No urban legend. The grand son sued to get the bones back. Over 20 decendents have
filed the suit and even OBY has been sued because the grave is on federal land and
Ramsey Clark of LBJs administration is their atty.
Urban legend has it that members of the club have to kiss the skull.

That's when Lincoln saw slavery up close for the first time and how cruel it was and he became an abolitionist but Lincoln was also a racist at the same time. he wanted to send
the slaves back to Africa and many did go back but he also made statements about them
being a lower class.
Black historians don't like him. I listened to a black preacher on the radio who said we
dont even celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation. That didn't do anything for anyone
down here. The war raged on 2 more years.
We celebrate our freedom the day union troops came down here and kicked the red necks

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Help balancing Half-Nymph race
I am making a variant of the Half-Nymph that is a little more nymphy than the current one. I would like to ask for some help balancing it arrund rogue (high rogue), elf level. What i got so far is Sandbox.--Sergejsvk 08:20, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I'd remove the +4 cha bonus to +2, and give it +2 dex as well--giving races more than +2 to a single stat without any LA can lead to imbalance. Also, Awesome Beauty seems really powerful potentially for no LA; I'd make it a once-per-day ability activated as a swift action. --Ghostwheel 17:33, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Without any LA or racial hit dice. The LA system has a few problematic side effects, such as susceptibility to lower-level spells like sleep and color spray at levels where that isn't expected, and messing up Feat and Skill Rank progressions (something which a person so enamored of the RNG as Ghost should take into account ;P). Things usually work better when you have HD = CR = ECL (or adjustments to those, in the case of templates), all else being equal.
- After a quick scan, you should either give them a swim speed or remove the "can take 10" bit on Swim checks. Those two things are heavily linked. The speed wouldn't even have to be anything big; half land speed, for instance. --Quantumboost 00:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Made some adjustments. Or should i give just one mental stat at no LA? They are more the talker/spellcasters. Not the sneaker/snipers. Poked and prodded some more, added a diferent ability, rearanged others. Added more limits to Beauty--Sergejsvk 08:52, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Costa Named Acting Commissioner of Public Buildings
December 29, 2008
MaryAnne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
Melissa Williams (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – James A. Williams, Acting Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration, today announced the appointment of Anthony E. Costa as Acting Commissioner of GSA's Public Buildings Service (PBS).
Costa's appointment became effective December 27. He succeeds David Winstead, who served as Commissioner since October 2005.
"As PBS's highest ranking career civil servant, Tony brings extensive experience to the job," Williams said. "He is well regarded by the entire real estate community, including GSA's federal customer agencies, and colleagues on Capital Hill and the Administration. I look forward to working with him in this new role."
Costa began his GSA career as a Presidential Management Intern and has more than 20 years experience with the agency in positions that include PBS Chief of Staff and Assistant Regional Administrator for GSA's National Capital Region, where he was responsible for the daily operation of over 86 million square feet of space in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. In September 2004, he returned to GSA Headquarters to assume the position of PBS Deputy Commissioner.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Bucknell University and a Masters of Regional Planning from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has received several honors for outstanding performance, including the Walter Washington District Champion Award presented by Leadership Greater Washington in 2008.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

Rush joining Heart, Newman, and others at tonight's Rock Hall Induction
Rush will be on hand for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, taking place tonight in Los Angeles. Guitarist Alex Lifeson says he's pleased that his band has finally gotten the nod. But he tells USA Today it's "a bit ironic that rock music was born in rebellion," yet the Rock Hall seems to have "guidelines for who's acceptable and who's not."
Rush is one of many bands the Rock Hall has been accused of overlooking over the years. The Canadian trio was inducted following their first appearance on the Rock Hall ballot last year, despite being eligible for induction since 1999.
Rush is being inducted along with Heart, and Randy Newman, who are also expected to attend tonight's gala. The late Donna Summer, blues great Albert King, are also members of the Rock Hall's Class of 2013, along with Quincy Jones, the rap group Public Enemy, and record executive Lou Adler.
John Fogerty, Jackson Browne, the Eagles' Don Henley, Carole King, and Cheech and Chong are among the many stars who are slated to take part in the event. Harry Belafonte and members of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and Alice In Chains are on the lineup as well.
Highlights from the ceremony will air as an HBO special next month.

In November, Mike D'Antoni strolled into the Lakers' practice facility beaming about possibly winning his first NBA championship. He gushed about reuniting with point guard Steve Nash after waxing nostalgic during their time together in Phoenix. D'Antoni envisioned restoring "Showtime."
Five months later, nothing went according to plan.
The Lakers' championship fortunes still remain alive. But they enter Game 1 of their first-round series today against the San Antonio Spurs as a seventh seed, and D'Antoni has spent less time enjoying his reunion with Nash and more time monitoring injuries.
Nash will play in Game 1 after missing the past eight games because of soreness in his right hamstring.
And as they try to win without Kobe Bryant due to a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon, the Lakers have resorted to a methodical and grinding pace that D'Antoni once dismissively described as "bully ball."
What's been the most challenging part this season?
"Just winning and just getting here," D'Antoni said. "It's trying to figure out how everybody's personality fits and the team fits. We did it on the fly."
D'Antoni didn't have training camp after the Lakers chose him instead of Phil Jackson to replace Mike Brown following a 1-4 start. Nash's 24-game absence because of a fractured left leg left D'Antoni without a critical piece to jumpstart his offense.
Overlapping injuries to Steve Blake (lower abdominal muscle), Pau Gasol (various ailments), Dwight Howard (surgically repaired right back, shoulder) and Jordan Hill (season-ending left hip surgery) only exacerbated the issue. Meanwhile, D'Antoni encountered some resistance regarding his system.
Despite a 17-25 start, the Lakers closed out the season going 28-12. The Lakers' 7-1 mark in April prompted the NBA to award D'Antoni with Western Conference Coach of the Month honors. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak also revealed D'Antoni will return next season.
"He's done a wonderful and terrific job this year," Kupchak said this week. "We don't expect to make any changes."
D'Antoni, 61, has two more guaranteed years worth $8 million and a team option for the 2015-16 season.
"They've given me a chance to work and they've been super," D'Antoni said. "That's why the organization is great and it's why they have a lot of championships."
D'Antoni lacked support elsewhere.
Lakers fans chanted "We want Phil" when Jackson spoke earlier this month during Shaquille O'Neal's jersey retirement ceremony. Though Lakers trainer Gary Vitti and other outside medical experts classified Bryant's torn left Achilles tendon as a random occurrence, plenty blamed D'Antoni for willingly playing Bryant heavy minutes.
Several role players, ranging from Metta World Peace, Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks, have gushed about the freedom D'Antoni allows in his system. So has Nash. But other prominent players showed skepticism.
Gasol questioned the logic behind playing a bench role as a facilitator for six games after helping the Lakers win two consecutive NBA titles in 2009 and 2010 as the featured post player. D'Antoni insisted Gasol and Howard couldn't co-exist partly out of health concerns and partly because Earl Clark could give the Lakers more speed. Howard passively expressed frustration when the Lakers didn't feature him enough on offense. After sitting for five consecutive games, 15-year veteran Antawn Jamison lamented his diminished role and D'Antoni's failure to communicate to him.
Meanwhile, Bryant, Gasol and Howard alike believed D'Antoni's fast-paced style didn't suit the talents of a veteran-laden team featuring two post players.
"The personnel that we have here was not fitting to his philosophy," Gasol said. "Thinking that we couldn't coexist on the floor together is a clear sign of it."
As the losing and injuries persisted, D'Antoni led an air-it-out meeting Jan. 23 before playing Memphis. A day after that meeting, the Lakers started their 28-12 regular season-ending run.
"We have to listen to everything he says," Howard said of D'Antoni. "Sometimes we might not like it. But we have to sell out to whatever he tells us to do. That's the only way we'll make it."
Howard stopped griping about touches and embraced a defensive role. Bryant became a passer. Nash morphed into an off-the-ball shooter.
D'Antoni made concessions, too.
He allowed the Lakers to play at a slower tempo. The Lakers struck a stronger balance between running pick-and-rolls and featuring Gasol and Howard more in the post.
Once he returned in late March from a 20-game absence from a torn plantar fascia in his right foot, Gasol regained his starting spot.
"Right now there's no way I'd put Pau on the bench," D'Antoni said. "It'd be crazy to. But (Gasol and Howard) were both physically not able to do what they needed to do. We were slow and old and I thought at that time it was the best way to go. It didn't work out."
Lately, things have.
"It really works out if you have good guys willing to go through it with you," D'Antoni said. "If they're branching out, then your'e in trouble and it's done whether it's management or players.
"When you're not all together going through the hard times, that's not good. This gives us a chance to still fight. There's some things we got through. But that just puts us where we should be and not where we want to be."

erm...boooooo stand em up?
Sorry had to bring some balance to this discussion.
I dunno, if what he teaches can be adapted then its worthwhile, some people have done so, most don't, those that do - do they then have an advantage of sorts in so much as others may not see it coming? Kinda like Machida busting out his shit early doors - everyone was stumped by it, but now, not so much. Anything unorthodox can work in small doses is what I am trying to say I guess... Its just how much time you put in for that small addition to your arsenal, thats where the time spent has to be judged to be worth it or not.

Veni. Vidi. Odio Unitate
My apologies for not writing this sooner. I know some of you were waiting with bated breath on Saturday for me to finish my run with Unity, and I had planned to wrap it up on Saturday. But I didn't. I gave the new desktop environment from Canonical, featured only on Ubuntu so far, an extra day just to see if ultimately there was anything — anything — I am missing.
If you can read Latin, the blog's title says it all. If you can't, I'll get back to that in a minute.
But first things first, I have a hard and fast rule — well two, actually — about using Free/Open Source Software. It's simple: Find what you like and/or what works best for you and use it; it may not be what I use or it may not be something we agree on, and that's fine. The second rule is a no-brainer: Contribute back to the distro/FOSS program that you use, whether its with bug reports, coding, documentation or financially; and make sure your digital contributions go upstream where they belong. As you've heard me say before, some entities — cough Red Hat and Novell cough and their surrounding communities — do this better than others — cough Canonical cough — though admittedly the latter is getting better at it.
Which brings us to the Latin: After vanquishing one of a plethora of lands he overran while he was doing his thing, Julius Caesar said "Veni. Vidi. Vici." This, of course translates to, "I came. I saw. I conquered," a 47 B.C. corollary to Dr. Peter Venkman's "We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!" in the 1980s movie "Ghostbusters."
I'll take it a step beyond: Veni. Vidi. Odio Unitate.
I came. I saw. I hate Unity.
As far as I am concerned and for my own computing purposes, there is truly nothing in Unity to like, and there is nothing here that is new. Let's put aside the one-size-fits-all-but-not-really-any interface for a moment. It's bad enough that desktop/laptop Ubuntu users are forced into a rigid interface better suited for a netbook or a tablet, but how is something like Head Up Display an innovation? I could have missed the memo, but how is typing out the program name easier than clicking on an icon? And what does HUD do that something like Konqueror — or even the command line — doesn't do?
In fact, arguably Unity and HUD are a license to fall into bad habits, which is a hallmark for ease-of-use shortcuts built in to recent Linux user interfaces in order to draw users from other operating systems who, as the indescribably flawed reasoning goes, are drooling Neanderthals because they're Windows users or lazy hipsters because they use Macs.
So the workaround here is simple. If you absolutely, positively have to use Ubuntu for some compelling reason — your family is being held hostage by a radical offshoot of the Ubuntu Apocalypse, for example — there is a workaround. It's called Xubuntu. Other workarounds include Kubuntu and Lubuntu as well. For that matter, you could even go to a Ubuntu-based distro like Linux Mint, which gives you the GNOME-as-it-should-be experience in a solid distro.
Of course, if Unity works for you, then use it.

I'm sure that there was a very good reason for Canonical to systematically piss off the Gnome team, and fork Gnome-Shell to Unity… I know there must have been a solid business case for it… BUT… As Larry put so well here, this is open source, and you can lead a user to Unity, but you can't make him drink… Might I suggest 'apt-get install gnome-shell' on that little Ubuntu Desktop?

Lots of good news about Unity, which I do end up using just because when performing installs over and over for embedded development, it's too painful to keep changing the settings.
