Mate I have the same card and I know it works in BT4 with no external drivers
The usb drivers for this is provided on cd I got with it (ebay purchase btw, with a 12db antenna) but they are sources and fail compile in backtrack. I've head some websites and this one said was provided in kernel 2.6.23, so I couldn't find which kernel without booting atm but if its NOT the correct kernel. Can someone else suggest a proper driver that will support kismet and other wireless forensic tools?
(since cannot post link look for "rtl-wifi" on sourceforge for info I got)
currently using:
realtek RTL8187 b/g usb (has rp sma adapter with larger antenna)
macbook 2.2ghz dual2
2 gig ram
backtrack pre-final, as live cd
(currently running xp, osx on hd. so install will require some expert partition')
Mate I have the same card and I know it works in BT4 with no external drivers
ok.. I'll ask cause curious.. Did you have to take any other steps to make them work? Is it an internal card, usb or pcmia? I'll be honest I'm rusty on linux, not really used it for months, but I've tried general methods. lspci does not show it, but the light on usb blinks. cird (I think it was called) showed the preinstalled wifi device but not usb. I unplugged, rebooted but nothing. I even installed and loaded ndiswrapper, loaded windows driver and nada.
I have yet to try some methods I saw here in forum, but it was my understanding it wasn't needed so I didn't as of yet.
maybee this'll help others, I dunno.. (Now trying to get my gps working). dmesg did show it being plugged in, so I tried lsusb and it showed. I googled "kismet RTL8187" and got this site which helped alot
basically kismet by default was looking for wifi0, which does not exist on the two pcs I've ran backtrack.. So i changed it to wlan0 and for good measure madwifi to "rt8180". IT WORKED! it detected my test router "dlink" and even saw the next door neighbors wifi.
Ok so maybee everybody else here but me knew wifi0 didn't exist but if this helps one person I'm happy
various drivers will use various interface naming conventions. wifi0 is for cisco aironet/atheros based chipsets.
as it is ra0 for railink chipsets and wlan0 for realtek chipsets.
Would someone of the mods please delete this whole post.
I don't want to step on anyones toes, but the Raltek 8187L chipset is as we all know one the best supported w-lan chipsets ever.
By the way...watch for the variants:
8187B = total crap
8187L = nice
8187L if combined with a LNA (low noise amplifier) = "the reference"
it's also important that the circuits on which the chipsets are mounted on are designed for temperature stability
a very big heat sink alone for itself (like the Auslinx 800-1000mW adaptors have one) is not sufficient for a stable operating point!
old enough 2 know better, but young enough to not see a reason for
lol no, why would that be stepping on... I may not have known alot about it, or read alot of pages but most people might not even know the kernel just recently supported these.. If thats not known a person might not even know it was around... Not saying I didn't ask alot of stupid questions.. I reserve that right and being said learnt a bit playing around with this crap.
Also. I'm not the only person to ask about it.. While the help is indisputable I did figure some stuff out (again) about linux as well.
Maybee instead of removing posts without info... there should be sticky's or updated wiki with supported hardware lists, known problems or even "my rig"s's's's
If I'm an example of anything its that a specific distribution does not mean you need, should have, will have prior knowledge. Efficient with linux or just full of stupid questions..
You are totally right, please excuse my "grummly" and stupid answer.
For sure, let the thread live
That is a pity, that we really should/have to change/work on!..., or read alot of pages but most people might not even know the kernel just recently supported these.. If thats not known a person might not even know it was around...
When it comes to high quality HF/W-LAN hardware with good driver support (for every single OS) people always
tend to name devices based on atheros chipsets.
The really have been the reference for quite a long time!
But today some devices especially with Railink and Realtek chipsets are on the same level than the atheros based ones if not even better!
Vendors like ALFA NETWORK, ARGtek, GSKY-link and Zioncom try their best to produce high quality w-lan eqipment with excellent input sensibility and noise reduced and temperature stabilized amplif. of the tx signal.
These devices are quite unpopular as these (little) Producers from Taiwan are not so well known
besides "the scene" we are moving in.
For no single reason, like it is my opinion!
I guess the vendors/producers can not invest as much of their budget in marketing and promotion campaigns,
as the big companys can do/ afford to.
Everybody tends to get a Linksys, just because it's a brand by Cisco Systems.
Don't get me wrong Linksys/Cisco produces great hardware, even in their consumer section.
For example the routers like the legendary WRT54GL which i compiled and "hardware-hacked"
my fingers wound on and had a lot of fun with
But when it comes to stable long range connections my "client/weapon of choice" would always be an ALFA,
an ARGtek or the new stunning Zioncom (WL0162). Because they are so powerful an relieable.
The used chipsets are well supported and documented.
The external RP-SMA antenna connectors make them upgradable for extreme point to point links and the latest features
of the new drivers make them capable of 802.1x /CCX /AP+WDS usage and even mesh networking!
Not more to say than : nice,nice nice!
The new outdoor devices from ALFA Network UBDo-g and UBDo-a/N,
(IP65 class outdoor versions of the ALFA AWUS036H , ALFA AWUS050NH V2)
are the consequent reaction of the vendor to our crys and shouts for, let's call it extended wireless application fields.
If you have any need on further information on devices of ALFA etc., chipsets, the installation and the handling of new drivers (every OS, even 64bit ones , Solaris and BSD) please feel free to contact me any time.
I am willing to help out, as far as my little possibilities and little knowledge
on HF-Technology and software allows to.
Best regards
old enough 2 know better, but young enough to not see a reason for
wlan0 is pretty much a generic chipset interface naming convention for all mac80211 based drivers as well as some really legacy driver interface naming. For those based on mac80211 stack will not only get wlan0 but also wmaster0 (though I think wmaster0 will be phased out eventually, don't quote me on it however).
This is why specifying just an interface is no longer a walk in the park in identifying the driver.
use this in pre-final
after connecting the Dongle
modprobe rtl8187
there should be wlan0 interface and one more thing those drivers are already in 184.108.40.206 kernel.always search first as I think lots of people have made thread on same topic.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Many mnemonics rely on making visual associations in your mind. The nature of these visualizations has a lot to do with how well you will remember them.
Making crazy associations in your visualizations will help you remember the information later. If you are trying to associate a dog with a stapler, a poor association would be a dog standing on a stapler. The brain filters out and forgets things that are ordinary. If you get a little crazy, you'll have a more memorable association. Maybe you could picture a dog with a stapler for a mouth! In addition to making the images more interesting, crazy associations tend to take more time to form and thus give you a better chance at getting them into your long-term memory.
Here are two techniques that will help make your associations crazier.
1. Try a substitution. For example, substituting a stapler for a dog's mouth.
2. Try an exaggeration. For example, a giant stapler chasing a scared dog down the street.

What is a Cyclorama?
Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama
First-time visitors to Gettysburg National Military Park often ask, what is the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama and why should we see it? Created after the American Civil War, the Cyclorama is a colossal circular oil painting depicting the charge of Confederate infantry led by Gen. George Pickett on July 3, 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg. Painted between 1883 and 1884 by French artist Paul Philippoteaux and a team of 20 artists, the Battle of GettysburgCyclorama is one of only two Civil War Cyclorama paintings in the United States. The Gettysburg Cyclorama (on exhibit at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center) is the largest painting in the country and is a must-see for any visitor to Gettysburg. Immerse yourself in history with the Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience.
The Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama Program
When the Gettysburg Cyclorama was first displayed, the experience was said to be so moving that veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg wept at the sight. Today, visitors can experience those same emotions through the Cyclorama/film program at the Museum and Visitor Center. The program begins with the film A New Birth of Freedom, which provides an overview of the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War. From the film theaters, visitors ascend the escalators to the Cyclorama Gallery, where they are immersed in the climactic moment of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg, Pickett's Charge. A sound-and-light Cyclorama program brings the battle scene depicted on canvas to life.
The Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama experience is the only complete Civil War Cyclorama experience in the country. Combined with a three-dimensional diorama foreground, a sky that disappears from view into an overhead canopy, the painting is designed to give viewers the illusion that they are standing in the middle of Pickett's Charge on the Gettysburg battlefield.
Special "Behind-the-Scenes" Cyclorama Programs
Go behind-the-scenes of history with an Evening with the Painting, and the What in the World is a Cyclorama? program for groups.
Conservation of the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama
In 2003, after almost a century of neglect and deterioration, the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama painting began a five-year conservation effort to return the work of art to its original glory. The project was the largest-ever of its kind in North America and was directed by the Gettysburg Foundation, in partnership with the National Park Service. The conservation project included not only conservation of the massive Civil War Cyclorama painting, but also a re-creation of about 15 feet of sky, a three-dimensional diorama and the canopy — all of which had been lost for more than a century.
When the conservation began in late 2003, the Cyclorama measured 356-by-26 feet. Now, the Cyclorama has been returned to its original circumference of 377 feet at its widest points and 42 feet high. The painting, with its new backing and hanging system, weighs 12.5 tons!
Purchase Tickets for the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama and FilmA New Birth of Freedom
During peak season, the film A New Birth of Freedom and the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting program runs every 15 minutes. Tickets, for the film and Cyclorama also include admission to the Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War. Timed tickets to the Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience can be purchased at the ticket counter in the lobby of the Museum and Visitor Center, online at www.gettysburgfoundation.org or by telephone at 877-874-2478. Proceeds from ticket purchases benefit battlefield preservation.

Two Indictments Returned in 2002 Lake Buchanan Boating Death
BURNET – A Burnet County grand jury has indicted Travis Aaron Marburger on one count of manslaughter and one count of tampering with evidence in the 2002 boating death of Justin Wayne Roberts.
The indictment, returned Tuesday in 33rd State District Court, stems from the Dec. 8, 2010, recovery of a 1977 fiberglass Checkmate boat that had been buried on Marburger's property north of Bertram. The 16-foot boat matched the description of the vessel believed to have struck the boat occupied by Roberts and two others on May 3, 2002.
After the collision, the operator of the boat that struck Roberts' vessel left the scene without offering assistance or calling for help. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game wardens investigated the crash and identified the type of boat they believed to have fled the scene but had not been able to locate it.
The case had remained unsolved until late last year, when a tip to the TPWD's Operation Game Thief toll-free phone number triggered the investigation that resulted in the 36-year-old Marburger's arrest and the excavation of the boat soon afterward.
Marburger has been free on $100,000 bond. Bond for the tampering with evidence indictment was set at $1,000.
Manslaughter is a second-degree felony publishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine not to exceed $10,000. Tampering with evidence is a third-degree felony, punishable by imprisonment from two to 10 years and a fine not to exceed $10,000.

DR. Myron L. Pardee
1916-1997 — Lakewood, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, USA
Dr. Myron L. Pardee was born on 18 March 1916 in North Dakota to the Reverand Artland "Lynn" Pardee, a Methodist Minister and his wife, (whose given name is not known to this Author, but records indicate it may have been Mary or Margaret, but records state that her Maiden Surname was Lawson). The Rev. Pardee was serving as a Minister in the Town of Hampden, Cavalier County, North Dakota, between 1912 and 1917. Myron's Mother died in North Dakota, and his Father remarried, to Lillian "Pearl" (Nee Townsend) in 1918. The family moved back to Chautauqua County, New York. His Step Mother, Lillian "Pearl" Pardee, died in 1930, and his Father was married a third time, to Edith DeLand.
Dr. Pardee graduated from Mayville High School, in Chautauqua County, New York; earned his Bachelor of Science Degree at Mount Union College, in Alliance, Ohio; and received his degree of Doctor of Medicine (M. D.) in June of 1941 from the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. In July 1941, Dr. Pardee began his internship at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was affiliated with Tulane University.
In April of 1942, Dr. Pardee enlisted in the U. S. Army Air Corps, in the Medical Division, and received his commission as First Lieutenant. In July of 1942, Dr. Pardee was sent to Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania and entered the Medical Officers' Training School. On August 01, 1942, he went to Fort Mason, San Francisco, California, to await transportation. In September 1942, Dr. Pardee sailed for Aukland, New Zealand, where he was stationed for a short time, before being transferred to Sidney, Australia. One month later, (November 01, 1942) he was sent to Charles Towers, North Eastern, Australia, joining the 17th Station Hospital Unit, as an orthopedic surgeon.
In July of 1943, Dr. Pardee was promoted to the Rank of Captain, and was sent to Milne Bay in the jungles of South Eastern, New Guinea, to set up a dispensary, while a hospital was being built. In September 1944, the Unit moved to Owi, an island north of New Guinea, in the Netherlands, East Indies, near the Equator. In November 1944, Dr. Pardee received his specialist rating in orthopedic surgery and X-ray, and was made Chief of that department. In May of 1945, Dr. Pardee was transferred to the 132nd General Hospital in Biak, to complete orthopedic work there, while his own Unit was being moved to that location. He was later made Chief Surgeon of the 17th Station Hospital.
On December 14th, 1945, Dr. Pardee sailed from Biak. reaching Los Angeles, California on January 01, 1946, and was sent to Fort Knox, Kentucky, to receive a three months' terminal leave. He spent his terminal leave with his parents, Rev. Artland Lynn and Edith Pardee, in Fredonia, New York, before returning to Fort Knox, Kentucky, in March of 1946 to be formally discharged from active Military Service. On March 15, 1946, Dr. Pardee went to Cleveland, Ohio where he was accepted as an assistant resident doctor of the University Hospital of Western Reserve. In April 1946, Dr. Pardee was, promoted to the Rank of Major, U.S. Army Reserve Corps, while he was working toward his certification as a specialist in orthopedic surgery, at Western Reserve's University Hospital.
On 30 August, 1947, at the First Methodist Church in Warren, (Warren City, Warren County) Pennsylvania, Dr. Myron L. Pardee Married Dorothy "Jean" Erickson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burton R. and Alice Erickson, of Warren. His Bride was a graduate of Warren High School and the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, of Western Reserve University Hospitals, in Cleveland, Ohio. The Officiating Clergymen of the double ring ceremony were the Groom's Father, Rev. Lynn Pardee, and Rev. Wayne Furman, Pastor of the Warren Church.
In July of 1949, Dr. Pardee finished additional training at the Crile Veterans Hospital, which was affiliated with the University Hospitals of Western Reserve. He was serving as a Consultant with the Veterans Administration, and was appointed as a Consultant at the Cleveland Rehabilitation Center, and was elected to the Staff of City Hospital of Cleveland, as an instructor on fractures.
In November 1949, Dr. Myron L. Pardee, opened an office for the practise of Orthopedic Surgery in Madison Square Medical Building, on Madison Avenue, in Lakewood, Ohio. In late December of 1960, Dr. Myron L. Pardee was appointed to the Lakewood, Ohio Board of Education to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Theodore Brooks. Dr. Pardee remained a member of the Lakewood School Board for more than 5 years, serving as its President for the year of 1964.
During his Medical Career, Dr. Myron L. Pardee, was on staff and affiliated with Lakewood Hospital and the Lakewood Office of the Society for Crippled Children (now the Achievement Center for Children) For a number of years, he was the Chief of Staff of the Orthopedic Deparment at Lakewood Hospital.
On 18 July 1997, just 6 weeks shy of the 50th Anniversary of his Marriage to his beloved Jean, Dr. Myron L. Pardee, died at his home, in Lakewood, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Besides his Widow, Jean, Dr. Pardee was survived by a number of Children and Grandchildren, and Hundreds of Military Veterans, and Hundreds of former patients, grateful for his skill and dedication in the field of Orthopedic Surgery.

The Presbyterians held services in a hall built by Arthur Elliott. A few terms of school were held in the building, too, with Mary Goldsbury (mother of Tom O'Brien and Eva Johnson). The hall was rebuilt and purchased by the Methodist church which was organized with Rex Nesbet as minister, J.F. Loehre, president; A.C. Davis, secretary. The last remodeling of the church was in 1974, and church conducted for the first time in February.

I was born in 1955, with the congenital birth defect, known as Hip Dysplasia. In those days, what are now routine examinations were not done, so consequently, I was two years old before a diagnosis was made. My parents were referred to Dr. Myron L. Pardee, an Orthopedic Surgeon at Lakewood Hospital, in our hometown of Lakewood, Ohio. It was apparent to him that my left leg was out of place, not in the hip socket. Because it was 1957, there were not many options available. What is known about hip Dysplasia Today, and the non-invasive Treatments for it, were not yet developed. My age, and level of development and growth, were also factors to be considered. Dr. Pardee performed surgery & I spent the next 11 months in nine different plaster casts to keep me IMMOBILE, until it all healed. The last cast had a "bar" between my legs. I was three years old before I took my 1st steps.
For all intents and purposes, Dr. Pardee performed a MIRACLE, allowing me to Walk, Run, and have a NORMAL childhood, adolescence and adulthood. I participated and excelled in school sports, (Softball, Basketball, & Volleyball), from 6th Grade through 12th Grade. I was an avid swimmer, (& diving board diver) and rode my bicycle everywhere. I graduated from Lakewood High School in 1973, Married in 1974, and had a child in 1976, and never had one bit of trouble, or problems, or pain......
Until.....About 20 years ago. I took a nasty fall, so at age 35, I needed a Total Hip Replacement. I spent 4 YEARS trying to find a Surgeon that would replace a hip on some one that YOUNG. I finally found a most excellent one, and ended up having BOTH hips replaced in 1995. This Surgeon told me that what Dr. Pardee had done in 1957 was "Unheard of" back then. It was the Cutting Edge of Skill and Techniques. Dr. Pardee had literally "built" me a socket, creating ridges of bone, to hold the leg in place. The MIRACLE of it all, was that this created hip socket held up so well, for so long, in such an active life.
My own personal memories of the Surgery, the Hospital stay, and recovery, are limited to bits and pieces, like the "giant" overhead X-ray machine as it descended over me; the smell of Ether, the little girl, who was my roommate, my eldest brother swinging me up-side-down by the bar on that last cast, and my older brother singing and playing games with me while we were sitting on our living room floor. The clearest memory that I have, was going home, after the last cast came off.
I was sitting at a little set of table and chairs in the hospital hallway, with a couple of other children. We were having a lunch of chili. I remember swinging my legs freely, yes finally free of casts, and I remember telling anyone who would listen that my Daddy was coming to get me and I was going home. Then from some distance behind me, I heard my Daddy call my name. I got up, turned, and ran down that hallway into his open arms. He hugged me tightly, but he was crying. He was on his knees, so we were at eye level, and I remember holding his face in my hands, and telling him, "Don't cry, Daddy. I get to go home, and I don't ever have to come back to stay."
I was later to learn WHY he was crying. It was the FIRST time he had ever seen me, his baby daughter, upright on her own two feet, walking, running.
I never forgot Dr. Pardee's name, or his Skill and Gifted Talents that allowed me a normal life. Yes, Dr. Myron L. Pardee had a huge impact on me and made a REAL difference in my life. A simple Thank You seems inadequate. I can only hope his blessings were many, and that he now sits very near Our Lord.

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
Familiarity with ActionScript 3 and its object-oriented features as well as familiarity with Flash application development.
Getting your application accepted into the Apple App Store can be a confusing and difficult process to navigate. Developers often run in to common pitfalls that add time to their submission cycle. Use this guide to understand the steps you can take to make your submission as pain-free as possible.
Using Adobe AIR for iOS support in Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 or Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 to get your content to the Apple App Store involves three main steps:
Note: The Application Loader utility is available only for Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later. In Windows, you can run Mac OS X inside a virtual machine.
Before you start to package your AIR app for submission, make sure you take care of some key considerations to ensure your users have the best experience possible. These considerations fall generally into two categories: performance and usability. To make sure you have built a high-performing app, test your application on a variety of devices.
Typically, the iPod touch is faster than an iPhone in the same class of hardware. For example, the iPod touch 32GB and iPod touch 64GB are faster than the iPhone 3GS, even though they're in the same class of hardware. The iPhone 4 and the iPad both share a common processor, which are the fastest among all the iOS devices. (For more information, see Scott Petersen's article, Optimizing content for Apple iOS devices.)
The second key consideration to ensure you have a great app is usability. There are many similarities as well as differences between building an AIR app for an iOS device and building an AIR app for the desktop, or even a SWF for the web. Even more so than on the web, users spend only a few minutes in your app and are quick to leave it for something else. Your app should expect to be shut down by the iOS at any time and for any reason. This is exacerbated on iOS devices because of incoming calls or SMSs and can happen for a variety of reasons, including low memory conditions. So be sure to save your state often. If you're building a puzzle game, make sure you save the user's state so the user doesn't have to replay the puzzle halfway through. If you're building a RPG, save the last trading state of the app. For examples of iOS apps that do this, check out Chroma Circuit or Trading Stuff.
Another thing to consider when building your AIR apps for iOS—that is different from web apps—is how to use the finger as a pointing device. The finger is quite a bit different than a mouse. No matter how hard you try, your finger is an inaccurate device compared to a mouse. Even when it seems like it's tapping in the same place, the finger often moves around slightly. Try to ensure that your app takes that fact in to account, and make your hit targets much larger than you would in a web app.
Once you've built a well-performing app that provides your user with a great experience, you're ready to submit it to the Apple App Store.
Thus far, you have been testing and deploying to devices using a development certificate and a development provisioning profile. These two are used for your development environment. For deploying apps to the App Store, you need a distribution certificate and a distribution provisioning profile.
To acquire the distribution certificate:
Once you have the distribution certificate, you will need to create a distribution provisioning profile:
Once you have your new distribution certificate and your distribution provisioning profile, you will need to rebuild your application:
In Flash Builder 4.5:
In Flash Professional CS5.5:
Skipping any of these steps when you build an app for deployment often causes an app to get rejected, so make sure all the right certificates and provisioning files are properly included.
Apple requires that your application have an application icon, App Store icon, and launch image:
As you design your icons, you should make them appear as flat square icons without the iOS half-circle gleam (or glossy, round beveling) effect, as this is automatically added by the iOS. If you desire to have a flat icon without the gleam, you can add a flag to a custom application.xml file that informs the iOS to not draw the gleam. For more information, consult the Application Icons and Application Launch Images sections of the iOS Application Programming Guide in the iOS Reference Library. Additional information is included in the Application icons section of the Building Adobe AIR Applications guide.
Once you've prepared your iPhone Application (.ipa) file, you'll need to fill out the required forms on the iTunes Connect site to submit the application to Apple. In filling out the information, be as transparent as possible to Apple, including any demo accounts that might be needed to run your app. Because the Apple reviewers must be able to verify your application, providing the information required ahead of time will help your application get through the review process more quickly. Note that Apple's policy stipulates that your app's keywords cannot contain your app's name.
To submit the app:
Your app should now be in a "Waiting for upload" state. Complete the rest of the process with the Application Loader utility.
Note: The Application Loader utility is available only for Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later. In Windows, you can run Mac OS X inside a virtual machine.
The Manage Your Apps page of iTunes Connect should now list an updated status for your application. See the iTunes Connect Developer Guide (PDF), available from the iTunes Connect website, for information about the application statuses.
I hope that the tips provided here will help you build an application that can be submitted to the App Store and go through the Apple approval process without a hitch. Check out the resources on the Apple iOS topic page to learn more about building mobile apps for iOS devices.

Green500 Supercomputer List Released: Intel Takes Top Spot, Followed By AMD, NVIDIAby Ryan Smith on 11/14/2012 1:30 PM EST

MadMan007 - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - linkI read this <quote>King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology</quote> and couldn't help but think of the movie The Dictator. Reply
gevorg - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - linkare you Jewish? Reply
chizow - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - linkSeems that's where all the intent is heading after the recent announcements by AMD and Samsung to build servers using ARMv8. There's even been speculation that Nvidia's next-gen GPUs will integrate ARM cores as their command processors directly into their GPU die designs. Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - linkThe current ARM cores wouldn't be very good for massively parallel crunching. THere are diminshing returns at higher core counts (even for such workloads), so you want as many CPUs which are as fast as you can reasonably make them. That's not ARMs current strength. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - linkThe x86 CPUs aren't doing any of the parallel computation either, even Intel's HPC solution relies on Xeon Phi which is based on Intel's failed attempt to enter the GPU market, Larrabee.
That's the point though, the front-end CPUs just need to be fast serial processors to feed the massively parallel compute engines, the GPU-derived "co-processors". A beefed up ARM processor shouldn't have any problems handling this task, maybe even better than x86 being a RISC processor.
If you read AT's Titan write-up, you'll see there is only 1 core on each Opteron driving each K20 GPU, so 1x12-core Opteron feeding 12xK20s per rack.
A good analogy would be the CPU is akin to the farmer driving a massive corn harvester (GPU). Sure the farmer is driving but he's clearly not doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. Reply
JKflipflop98 - Saturday, November 17, 2012 - linkThat would depend on the workload. There's some tasks that CPU's are way faster than a GPU. There are functions that a tesla card just flat out can't do. Reply
Casper42 - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - linkYeah who would ever build a large cluster of small cores...
I can tell you as an HP Employee who has seen alot of NDA material about Moonshot, while it may take more cores and definitely more "servers" to equal the computational power of the larger traditional multi core xeons, etc. The overall efficiency in both Power, Cooling and Floorspace is definitely there when its done right. Reply
TheJian - Thursday, November 15, 2012 - linkGoogle BSC Tegra and you'll see they think Denver/Stark will be great for it. Denver (I thought it was aimed at desktops) may be a specially made arm just for this task, or at least the version they're using might be a hacked denver so to speak.
FYI: Denver is dev'd IN HOUSE. Not Arm ref model so to speak, much like Apple's A6. So it could be a totally different animal (possible with no gpu for this task). Boulder is also AFAIK but aimed at servers (which strangely or not) NV hid in the gpu division...LOL. Is stark boulder? No idea. YET... :)
BSC is aiming at topping both the top500 & 500 green list for 2014/2015 and again with stark or better for 2017. This should be an easy task based on where they are now at 28nm and denver being 20nm samsung based. Nobody else AFAIK will be better until mid2014 at 14nm which may take even longer to get into one of these. So they should take the top spot for at least a bit if not longer.
This is Tegra Feeding Tesla. Rather than the feeding being done by AMD/Intel. I'm starting to wonder if Boulder is a tegra/tesla integration of some sort. But doubtful and I have no proof.
Was announced back in 2011 (or before, just a quick google here) and saying tegra 2012, which happened so I'm guessing they're still on target for 2014 and 2017 for stark or greater based version as noted here:
It says tegra 3, but I find that hard to believe with it being old now and Q1 release of Tegra4 (we already have tegra3+) and this 1st machine targets 2014. The mention of stark or better says they're flexible here. I'd think they're flexible on the tegra3 version too if they can do it with stark or better on the next one. But that's an assumption on my part ;)
The first is expected Sept2014. Ramirez makes some pretty bold claims here:
3.5x BG/Q. If that's true it's pretty dang potent. Cutting out Intel/AMD for ~4w feeders is definitely a way to help you get there.
Their technical coordinator of the project seems to think you're wrong. He says they're avoiding the "fast as you can" chips and heading for tons of medium chips :) But I guess you could be smarter than him :) Considering K20x just took the top spot with chips that feed it using far more watts than tegra, I'm thinking this guy knows a thing or two about his predictions and would see to be easily accurate. It may be even easier if you think they will be on a 20nm Samsung process instead of the current 40nm also. That would make his 4w estimate kind of high I think. We are not talking going from 40 to 28nm, but rather 40 to 20nm. That's two process shrinks in one fell swoop and they popped out samples in may this year in austin.
I think this leaves your statement incorrect. It certainly would make sense at some point to have a feeder on a K20x die (as I think Chizow hints at here) not needing to traverse any bus outside the chip to talk. I'd think that would have to allow you to drop even more power/speed and get the same job done. Similar to integrating a memory controller etc on die. That would have to save complications and complexity in the hardware surrounding it too (ie cheaper & simpler to manage :)). It seems like a no-brainer. Reply
protomech - Thursday, November 15, 2012 - link8 years ago I helped to stand up a large cluster based on Apple's Xserve G5 computer (dual cpu 2.0 ghz, 3.5 GB DDR).
The cluster turned in performance around 13 MFLOPS/watt.
You could replace the entire cluster (several dozen 42U racks) with 4 compute boards from Titan (16 compute nodes), drawing about 0.6% of the original power.
Very impressive. Reply
Gastec - Saturday, November 17, 2012 - linkWhere are the trolls, the "fan boi" (muuuu) , why have they not posted yet something about how Nvidia is the best thing that ever happened to the american buyer since and before iPhone?
Well, while we wait for them trolls to show their ugly heads let us review again the Green500 podium :

Where Family Wellness Is Essential
Wellness Care - A Great Health Care Plan
In our society today many rely heavily on masking symptoms and believing the problems are resolved because the symptoms are no longer there. But if you take away the medication the symptoms usually return. When you take a good look at a person who is taking medications their bodies are still in a state of distress.
Our bodies must compensate for the stress we put it through. Whether it be injuries that have never properly healed or an immune deficiency that is only being worsened by masking symptoms rather than ridding the body of the toxins, and finding the true issue and resolving it.
Many people say they are healthy but can you truly say you are healthy when you are taking a handful of medications and have aches and pains that you've just grown accustomed to?
In our office we strive to find the root causes of symptoms of all types, not just those that cause someone to have the inability to live their normal daily lives. We consider all areas such as diet, exercise, posture, sleep and stress and work with you to do what is best for yourself without costing you an arm and a leg. It is our goal to bring quality health and wellness care to our community while bridging the gaps in understanding what it truly means to be healthy.
Dr. Tim Ryan is a 2004 Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate. He specializes in the following methods/techniques: Activator, Diversified, and Thompson Drop, as well as the Webster Technique for pregnant patients.
Research has proven that patients who are seeing a Chiropractor for wellness care have a better immune response to illness and heal much more quickly. They are also more likely to have fewer sick days. People of all ages, yes even (and especially) children can benefit from chiropractic care.

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - Deputies in Lake County say a phone number written on a pamphlet given to domestic violence and sexual assault victims actually went to a sex hotline instead.
The victims' rights pamphlet handed out by deputies offers an 800 number that connects callers to a recorded message that says, "Welcome to America's hottest talk line. Ladies, to talk to interesting and exciting guys free, press 1 now. Guys, hot ladies are waiting to talk to you."
"We're giving out wrong information and I sure don't want my victims calling a sex line," said Kelly Smallridge, the Executive Director for the Haven, a victim's advocacy group whose number was supposed to appear on the fliers.
Smallridge fears victims never reached the services they needed.
"I have a huge concern about it," said Smallridge. "The sheriff's office is passing this out. It's on the Internet. That's not our number, obviously, and I can't figure out where it came from, so I definitely need to figure out how many police agencies around here have that number. Are all the brochures wrong?"
Lake County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jim Vachon said they print the numbers that they're given and the same number has been printed on the fliers for years without any correction by Haven.
Nobody knew where it led victims, until Tuesday.
"We got a call from a victim we had given a pamphlet to and said that number was not going to the Haven," said Vachon.
It's unclear how the mix-up happened. The sheriff's office called it a clerical error, but Smallridge said the Haven never had an 800 number.
"I can't imagine anybody missed a resource that they needed," said Vachon, who said the sheriff's office has told deputies to stop handing out the fliers until it can print new ones with the proper information.
Vachon also said that a victim advocate at the sheriff's office makes contact with every victim of violent crimes.
The correct 24-hour hotline to the Haven of Lake and Sumter Counties is 352-753-5800 for domestic violence, or 352-787-1379 for sexual assault.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — JaCoby Jones finally got hot, Mason Katz stayed hot and Ryan Eades never let Mississippi State's hitters get hot.
In the end LSU's second-ranked baseball team beat the No. 11 Bulldogs for the second straight night in this Southeastern Conference-opening series, prevailing 7-3 Saturday night at Dudy Noble Field.
The Tigers won their 12th in a row to improve to 18-1, their best start since the 1997 team won its first 19 games on its way to capturing winning the College World Series. They'll try to sweep State in the series finale at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
Katz hit his third homer in the series and seventh in five games to stake Eades (4-0) to a 1-0 lead in the second.
Jones, mired in a weeks-long slump, responded to a move to the top of the batting order with a two-run double in the fifth and another double in a three-run ninth. Those were his first two extra-base hits and second and third runs batted in during the last 14 games.
"It was just a matter of time," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said of Jones' breakout game. "I talked to JaCoby (Friday) night and I knew today he was going to come out of it. I just felt it in my bones."
Jones' batting average slipped to .214 after he went 0-for-5 in LSU's 6-4, 10-inning victory Friday night. He struck out two times and went out four times with runners on base.
It looked like it was going to be more of the same for Jones early in Saturday's game as he struck out to start it, then hit into a double play after Andrew Stevenson was hit by a pitch in the third.
But things changed in the fifth. Ty Ross led off with a walk, Stevenson sacrificed him to second and Stevenson reached as third baseman Alex Detz overran the ball for an error.
Jones worked the count to 2-0 before State coach John Cohen pulled starting pitcher Evan Mitchell and replaced him with left-hander Ross Mitchell. Jones lined a 2-2 pitch into the gap in right-center, driving home both runners.
"He threw me two fastballs so I knew what his fastball looked like," Jones said. "I was looking for something away because they like to pitch me away, but he got it a little in and I got my hands in and got the barrel on it."
Eades, meanwhile, pitched seven strong innings, though he never had a 1-2-3 inning. Joey Bourgeois pitched a scoreless eighth and Chris Cotton finished for the second straight night, though he gave up a two-run homer in the ninth.
"Ryan was just a man out there today," Mainieri said. "I thought he dominated the game. He allowed some base runners, but he always raises his game in the most clutch situations."
Eades, a right-hander facing a lineup featuring seven left-handed hitters, allowed a walk and a single with one out in the first, a one-out walk in the second, a leadoff single in the third, a leadoff double in the fourth and a two-out single in the fifth but kept State scoreless until the sixth.
That's when Trey Porter got his second consecutive double with one out and moved to third on a wild pitch. He came home on Jacob Robson's grounder to make it 3-1.
Eades allowed a two-out single in the seventh, then got a lineout on his 108th and final pitch.
State batters were 0-for-12 in innings after they got a hit and Eades struck out eight.
"I don't try to get myself in jams, I promise you," Eades said. "I think coach's hair gets a little whiter when I pitch sometimes. I get myself in those situations sometimes and I just have to rise up and make good pitches."
LSU increased the lead to 4-1 on Ty Ross' RBI single in the eighth. Alex Bregman broke the game open with a three-run homer in the ninth, his second of the season and first in SEC play.
"We had guys on base (second and third) so they had to throw me strikes," Bregman said. "I was just trying to get something into the air and I got a good swing on it."
The Tigers have clinched the series, the fifth consecutive time they have won a series in Starkville. State lost for the fourth time in five games after a 17-0 start.
"Right now, we have to find an identity," Cohen said. "When you are struggling, players try too hard to make the great play. We just have to calm down, find our identity and focus on making the average play and not forcing ourselves to try to do something great."

Universal Remote Control Model RF30
I have 4 different components that all came with a so-called "Universal" type remote. None of the 4 remote controls would operate all 4 devices. This RF30 remote replaced all the other remotes, it operates flawlessly, and it perfectly fits in your hand whether you use your index finger or thumb. The entire display lights up including all the buttons. AWESOME!!

The pastry kitchen went through a lot of strawberries. Our routine requirements - tarts for the hotel's cake shop, garnishes on all the single-serving Earl Grey chocolate cakes and tiramisu for the set lunch menus, and a small mountain of fruit to accompany the chocolate fountain at the afternoon tea buffet - added up to a case each day. Additional requirements - strawberry desserts for catered functions, special requests from room service, unexpected ingredient borrowing by one of the restaurant kitchens - could easily mean a second round of strawberry prep in the afternoon, and day's tally somewhere in the range of forty pounds of strawberries, cleaned and hulled and cut.
Every morning, I'd collect a case of two-pound boxes from the walk-in. I'd fill the sink full of very cold water, and tip in the berries, swishing the water to rinse off the dried strawberry flower petals and their fine, fuzzy stamens. I'd scoop the berries out into a big prep bowl, and then I'd set out our big, boxy plastic storage containers. I'd hull the strawberries with a paring knife, and when the last berry had been trimmed, I'd clear away the heap of green calyxes and the stack of plastic clamshells, and stack the storage containers in the walk-in.
We'd cut the hulled strawberries into halves and quarters and slices for tarts and garnishes as we needed them, and in the afternoon, after we'd piled warm cream scones into napkin-lined baskets and arranged tea cakes and tiny tarts on tiered salvers, I'd take two big white china serving bowls and heap them high. At the afternoon tea buffet, the strawberries would be the prime attraction of the chocolate fountain, speared on cocktail skewers and placed underneath the rippling flow of chocolate.
The chocolate fountain didn't inspire any fond memories (the "chocolate" was a ready-to-pour commercial mix, stabilized with vegetable oil and soy lecthin so that would stay smooth and unctuous without gumming up the fountain's moving parts), but hulling all those strawberries left its mark. When it comes to pleasing a crowd, my thoughts easily turn to desserts that can be served alongside small mountains of berries and whipped cream.
Medovnik (Napoleon Cake)
The quantities given in this recipe will make a lot of cake, but the recipe is easily halved. You can also use biscuit cutters to produce rounds for individually-sized cakes - just keep a close eye on the layers when they're in the oven.
First, the cake layers. In a mixing bowl, beat together four eggs, one cup of sugar, four tablespoons buckwheat honey and two teaspoons baking soda. Set aside.
Remove the dough from heat. Coat the inside of a mixing bowl well with flour, and scrape the dough into the bowl.
Preheat oven to 350F. Ready two baking sheets and several pieces of parchment paper.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. Place a small handful of dough on the parchment paper, about one-third of a cup.
Top with another sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out as thinly as possible, then peel away the top sheet of parchment. Using a nine-inch dinner plate or springform tin base as a guide, cut a circle into the dough.
Gather up the trimmings and place them back in the bowl.
Transfer the dough and parchment to a baking sheet. Bake for four to five minutes, or until the round has risen and is golden brown in color. Use a small, sharp knife to trim any ragged edges, and save the crumbs in a bowl. Transfer the round to a wire rack to cool. (When cooled, the rounds will be hard.)
Lay out another sheet of parchment, set another lump of dough on it, and repeat the process as above until you have fifteen rounds. If you still have dough left over, roll it out thinly, and bake it like the rest. Once it cools, break it up into small pieces, and add it to the bowl with the crumbs.
Next, prepare the cream filling. Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together two sticks of softened butter, one can (fourteen ounces) sweetened condensed milk, and eight ounces sour cream until smooth. The mixture might be a little on the runny side, which is fine.
Now prepare the topping: Take the crumbs and other broken bits (you can run them through a food processor to get them very fine, if you like) and combine with a half-cup of finely chopped walnuts.
(Note: If nut allergies are a problem, turn one of the fifteen rounds into extra crumbs instead.)
To assemble the cake, ready a cake platter or serving dish. Place a smear of cream on the platter and set the first layer down. Spread the layer with cream, making sure to go to the very edges. Top with another layer. Alternate layers and cream until all the layers are stacked.
Coat the cake with the remaining cream, then grab handfuls of the topping and sprinkle all over the top and sides.
Cover the cake with foil, and leave in the fridge to chill for at least twelve hours.
Remove the cake from the fridge an hour before serving. Immediately before serving, whip heavy cream with honey to sweeten.
Cut the cake into slices, and accompany with honey cream and fresh strawberries, and an extra drizzle of honey, if you like. A glass of mead might not go amiss, either.

Topic: On-line donations
In my husband's obituary, I requested donations to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation in lieu of flowers. A couple of people have told me that they have had trouble making on-line donations. They said they were unable to indicate that the donations were in memory of my husband and are concerned that I will not receive notice of the donations. Have there been problems with the on-line donation site? I'm not sure who I should contact about this. I want to make sure I receive a list of all donations so I can thank the donors. Thanks.

It is entirely possible that I'm just dense, but everything I've read recently about libraries and "transliteracy" seems like nonsense to me. Here's how I've been thinking about it.
Very briefly, the term literacy
1. The ability to read and write
2. Knowledge of, skill in, or competence in an specific area or subject.
The former is a very real concern if the university professors and academic librarians I know are to be believed.
Still, I think we're mostly concerned with the latter.
Sorts of Literacies:
My wife and I frequently talk about our aspirations for the cultural literacy of our children. We think that they need to hear stories from Mother Goose, the Brothers Grimm, Aesop's Fables, and (to the surprise of some who know us) both the Hebrew and Christian bibles. We're atheists, but we know that stories from the bible(s) are frequently referenced in literature and in life- and that knowledge of these stories will enhance their understanding of the world around them.
Plenty of people tell me that they need help with something because they are not computer literate. I don't know that I much like this term (I think that lack of confidence is a more frequent problem than actual incapability), but the popularity of its use can't be denied. People know that to be "computer illiterate" is to be unskilled in the use of computers.
Then there's the literacy that librarians, of course, care a whole lot about, Information literacy
Information Literacy
I like the 1989 ALA definition:
"To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information"
I also like this one from the Association of College and Research Libraries:
"Information Literacy is the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information."
These are simple, clear definitions that are broad enough to incorporate any tools. Some years ago, information literacy included the ability to thumb through an index of periodicals- I remember doing this in elementary school. Today, the elementary school student might search a database of indices. Regardless of the changes in technology, the above definitions of information literacy continue to be good and useful.
Technologies change and tools change, but the definition of information literacy doesn't need to.
Here's where I start to get a bit confused. What's the point of terms like "digital literacy"?
The Wikipedia definition of digital literacy is as follows:
"Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology. It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used. Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same knowledge and skills."
So…it's information literacy with computers. In our world, don't you have to be "digitally literate" (and "computer literate") if you're going to claim information literacy? If so, "digital literacy" is just an aspect (a huge and important aspect) of information literacy.
Isn't health literacy just a specialized kind of information literacy? How hard is it to take the above definitions of information literacy and make a couple of small edits to make them good for health literacy?
Information Health literacy is the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use Health information.
To be
information health literate, a person must be able to recognize when health information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed health information.
So, not hard.
Now we'll remove the "health" from a definition of health literacy from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and make it about information literacy generally.
HealthInformation literacy includes the ability to understand instructions on prescription drug bottles, appointment slips, medical education brochures, doctor's directions and consent forms, and the ability to negotiate complex health care systems. HealthInformation literacy is not simply the ability to read. It requires a complex group of reading, listening, analytical, and decision-making skills, and the ability to apply these skills to health important situations."
You could do the same thing with "media literacy," or "financial literacy." Sure, they're specialized subsets, but it's all information literacy. Are terms like electracy really useful in any way? I don't think so.
Okay. So what's "transliteracy"?
Wikipedia uses a definition from PART (Production and Research in Transliteracy):
Transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks.
Of course, PART's own site calls this a "working definition." So…the group providing the definition notes that it isn't really thoroughly defined yet.
Has there been another time that a bunch of librarians were excited about another buzzword that was, at best, vaguely defined? I keep thinking back to T. Scott's take on "Library 2.0":
"My problem with the term is the same as ever — it is simply incoherent. People who use the term refer continually to the "Library 2.0 concept" but I'll be damned if I can figure out what that "concept" is. Everyone who uses it has their own intention for it, and one knows that it has something to do with social networking software and with making libraries better, but is there really any more to it than that? It's a very sloppy use of language, and I'm a firm believer in the concept that a sloppy use of language betrays sloppy thinking."
Anyone else see the parallel?
Libraries and Transliteracy
In my seeking to understand what transliteracy is and why it should matter to libraries, I came across a number of references to this presentation by Bobbi Newman.
Bolded lines below are the text from her slides.
Slide #12: Soon people will need to be transliterate in order to be involved in and contribute to society.
Slide #13: It is already happening.
People who aren't transliterate can't participate in society? That sounds important. Where are they being prevented by the absence of their transliteracy from being a part of society?
Slide #14: Facebook privacy settings are complex and change frequently.
I don't think a thorough understanding of Facebook privacy settings (or Facebook generally) is required to be involved in and to contribute to society, do you? Even if they were, knowing how to use social networks and other online tools could just as easily be defined as digital literacy or information literacy. Where's the need for the new term "transliteracy"?
Slide #15: It is not just on the fun sites.
But you're limiting the discussion here to computers and Web sites.
Slide #16: Government agencies are no longer issuing print forms.
Aside from the fact that this statement is patently untrue
Slide #17: Banks are sending alerts and account balance information via text messages.
For those who want them, yes. Is texting now required to be a part of society?
Slide #18: Your health insurance plan has a website and you have an account.
Slide #19: The price of computers is dropping allowing more people to own one.
Slide #20: Free WiFi access points are increasing, allowing more people internet access.
More and more people are using computers and the internet, yes. What does this have to do with "transliteracy"?
Slide #21: For many people these are new experiences.
Slide #22: Experiences they can have with no training, no supervision and no support.
(How DARE people have new experiences without supervison!)
Yes, they CAN have them that way if they want. They can also check Consumer Reports or do other research to help them decide what computer to buy. They can ask at the library/McDonald's/coffee shop how to connect to their WiFi. They can call the insurance company and be walked through how to use the Web site.
Again, what does this have to do with "transliteracy"?
Slide #22: If we only focus on literacy we are failing our patrons.
If libraries only supported readin' and writin' on slips of thin, dead tree, they WOULD be failing their patrons- but that's not the case. Libraries have been working hard for years at providing computers, connectivity, and instruction. Libraries care quite a lot about information literacy and expend a great deal of effort helping patrons build information literacy skills.
So, given that libraries are NOT just focusing on words that are printed on dead-tree paper and given that they ARE providing instruction in information literacy…what here is new and different, meriting a new term?
Slide #23: In order to best serve our patrons we need to move from literacy to transliteracy.
It seems from these slides that Bobbi is saying she thinks "transliteracy" means "inclusion of online stuff and other newish technologies." If that's the case, libraries have already made this transition.
Slide #24: How do we shift our focus to transliteracy?
Slide #25: Talk with your coworkers and colleagues about it.
Slide #26: Talk with your patrons about it.
Slide #27: Add it to your strategic plan, mission statement and goals.
So, what would these conversations sound like?
Librarian 1: Hey, I read that we should be talking about transliteracy.
Librarian 2: Okay. What's transliteracy?
Librarian 1: I don't know, but if we don't mention it in our strategic plan, we'll seem unhip. If we suggest it to our director, though, she might think we're really on top of new trends.
Librarian 2: I'm game. What part of the strategic plan should this transliteracy stuff be added to?
Librarian 1: Um…Do a find-and-replace for "library 2.0?"
Librarian 2: Nice.
That's not the end of the unappealing similarities between the libraries-and-transliteracy-stuff and the library-2.0-stuff.
One of the worst things about "Library 2.0" was the way its advocates (who now don't talk about it at all) seemed to talk mostly only to each other in language which (usually unintentionally) excluded and alienated others from participating in the conversation. Still, I never saw a post about Library 2.0 that was as bad in this regard as Transliteracy and Incommensurability, posted by Lane Wilkinson at Libraries and Transliteracy.
At first, I was convinced this post was pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook. After several aborted attempts, I finally read it in the right frame of mind and discovered that it made a few good points. These points have repeatedly been made much more clearly elsewhere, but Wilkinson is definitely not a charlatan. It's not gobbledygook.
My complaint is that his dense use of jargon and needlessly specialized language makes his post almost totally inaccessible.
What would happen if people discussed his post the same way he wrote it?
Rothman, what's your problem? Why are you picking on those nice transliteracy people?
I'm not. I'm picking on their ideas and their writing. Their writing because it is awful and their ideas because…well…I think they have no new ideas.
The world changes as technology changes. Education and libraries adapt (well or poorly, but they adapt). There's nothing new here. There's no need for a new movement, a new term, or so much discussion about nothing.
Look at this post by Tom Ipri:
"One thing which excites me about Transliteracy is, because of its newness, the skills involved are not well-defined."
I'd like to ask Tom: Aside from the term, what exactly is new about transliteracy? Like "Library 2.0," the term is being used without really being defined. That makes it awfully convenient to write about, because it can mean anything you want it to.
"Of course, Transliteracy involves a whole swath of cognitive skills that transcend navigating new technology."
Skills which, of course, Tom doesn't describe.
"To a certain extent, trust is a teachable skill and librarians invest a great deal of effort in instilling notions of trust. How do we trust that a web site is reliable? But beyond that, individuals need to learn how and when other individuals are trustworthy."
Oooookay. I'll agree that the ability to identify who is trustworthy is a good ability to have. What is your point in bringing up this bit of common sense? What is new here? Where is the need for the term "transliteracy" and why should libraryfolk care?
I don't think critical theory is as important to libraries right now as practical matters. That said, critical theory has things to offer libraries and librarians- but this isn't critical theory. This is nonsense. Further, it is a kind of nonsense we've seen before in the "library 2.0" silliness- so it really is Commensurable Nonsense.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Apartment very well located close to the metro and points of interest. Surface rather well arranged. However, it is very noisy, but as almost all housing in NYC. Means the street rooms.
Appartement très bien situé à proximité du métro et des points d'intérêt. Surface plutôt bien agencée. En revanche, il est très bruyant, mais comme pratiquement tous les logements de NYC. On entend la rue des chambres.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
Nice apartment just like the description and the photos, which is centrally located close to both restaurants, cafes and shopping. However, we had problems with mice in the apartment during the days we were there.
Trevlig lägenhet precis som beskrivningen och bilderna och som ligger centralt med närhet till både restauranger, cafeér och shopping.
Vi hade dock problem med möss i lägenheten under de dagar som vi var där.
Apartment fits the description!
Wohnung entspricht der Beschreibung!
Apartment well situated for visiting Manhattan. Heating has remained a mystery to us (may be a consequence of Hurricane Sandy), but space heaters were provided in less than 30 min. Mouse traps scattered throughout the apartment are not useless (a mouse captured during the stay (4 nights). Anyway, a great apartment for a small group wishing to visit New York but may be less for a family. Note: the host does not respond to emails ...: (
Appartement bien situé pour visiter Manhattan. Le chauffage est resté un mystère pour nous (peut être une conséquence de l'ouragan Sandy), mais des chauffages d'appoint nous ont été fournis en moins de 30 min.
Les pièges à souris disséminés dans l'appartement ne sont pas inutiles (une souris capturée pendant le séjour (4 nuits).
Bref, un appartement très bien pour un petit groupe souhaitant visiter New York mais peut être moins pour une famille.
Note: l'hôte ne répond pas aux mails... :(
We had a nice stay in that appartment. The location is pretty central and you can reach everything by feet. The appartment itself is small, nice and cozy The only thing we didn't like, was the very noisy first avenue, that seemed to run directly through the bedroom at night. We would book that appartment again.
The apartment was fine and clean. Met expectations. Great beds and bedrooms. Toilet Paper and scourer were present and also two toasters. Location was perfect. Very centrally located in a nice street with several restaurants. Well recommended for 7-8 persons.
Het appartement was prima en schoon. Voldeed aan de verwachtingen. Prima bedden en slaapkamers. Toiletpaper en schuursponsje waren aanwezig en tevens twee broodroosters.
Locatie was perfect. Zeer centraal gelegen in een gezellige straat met diverse restaurantjes.
Goed aan te bevelen voor 7 tot 8 personen.
landlord is a company / no private person. Key pick up went as planned, quick responses to questions. apartment is well located (earplugs due. busy street) but sweltering and may use updating.
verhuurder is een bedrijf/ geen privepersoon. Sleutel ophalen ging als gepland, snelle reacties op vragen. apartement is op prima locatie (oordoppen mee ivm. drukke straat)maar smoorheet en mag wel wat opgeknapt worden.
