Super small desktop
Check it out... I have a Dell Latitude c810 with an Nvidia geforce 2 go and I have a question. I installed SuSE 8.1 and the terminal screen is the right size, but the X desktop is very small. I also have Mandrake 8.2 and Beos r5 and everything is great. Its just Suse. Can anyone help me, I really appreciate it. :)
Welcome to LQ.
If Mandy;s X is fine, then compare the two X config files. They should both be found under /etc/X11. If you're running the exact same X server version on both, you may even get away with copying the Mandy X config file over to your SuSE setup.
Your laptop screen probably defaults to 800x600 or 1024x***, and your SUSE desktop is probably set to a smaller size, try setting it to default, which will be the same as Mandrakes screen size, if that makes sense.
ie. Your Mandrake res is 1024x768, but your SUSE is set to 600x480, so the LCD only displays 1/2 the size.
Im still learning though, so dont quote me.
I dont know what this has to do with LFS though..
This thread was not even close to being about LFS so its been moved to the Newbie forum as you can see. Lets try to post questions and threads in the proper forums. Thanks.

The WWE knows how to create great gimmick matches. Gone are the days of the Texas Bull Rope, Scaffold and Flag Pole matches.
In the modern era we are treated to great stipulation and gimmick matches, such as the Royal Rumble, Hell in a Cell, and this weekends Tables, Ladders & Chairs.
The #TLC match is a relic of the Attitude era, when ECW helped reshape the industry, and chairs to the head and back were as common as a right hand or kick to the gut. Even in the PG era, the WWE knows that fans enjoy watching an occasional TLC match, which adds drama and an air of violence that is otherwise not there.
The December tradition is here, so wrestling fans GET THE TABLES!!! This Sunday, WWE champion #AJStyles will defend the gold against #DeanAmbrose in a traditional tables, ladders and chairs match.
Styles could stub his toe in the middle of the night and make it look exciting. Who knows how great the Phenomenal One will be in a TLC match. We'll find out this Sunday. He has big shoes to fill. Let's take a look at some of the greatest TLC matches in WWE history.
Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz, SummerSlam 2000
Most people would agree that this TLC is the greatest in WWE history. You had three great tag teams in their primes looking to steal the show. Table spots, chairs shots, and ladders helped make this inaugural TLC match one to remember. Edge & Christian won the match, but this was really the Jeff Hardy show, where he proved he was the unofficial king of the ladder match.
Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz, Wrestlemania, 2001
Forget Kevin Owens. Welcome to the Jeff Hardy Show. He has so many great moments in this match. There's the stunning Swanton Bomb off of the ladder onto the Dudleys and through several tables. Then there was the power bomb he took onto Edge and through a table. And the spot with Edge hitting his spear on Hardy as he was dangling in the air in an attempt to grab the championship belts. Lots of guys can have good TLC matches, but these six, Jeff Hardy in particular, seemed born for the TLC match.
Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk, Summerslam, 2009
What happens when you are really good at something? People ask you to keep doing it. That was the case Jeff Hardy, who was wrestling in TLC matches long after The Hardy Boyz broke up. Everyone had great matches with Punk and the two stole the show at SummerSlam 2009. Hardy leaped from the top rope onto a table after CM Punk moved. He took a sidewalk slam onto a steel chair. CM Punk also suplexed him onto a ladder. Hardy delivered an amazing swanton bomb off the top of ladder onto Punk on the announcer's table. Punk won the match, but Hardy once again showed that he is a legend of the TLC match.
Daniel Bryan, Kane and Ryback vs. The Shield, TLC, 2012
Think of a time when Roman Reigns got cheered by more than just a few swooning female fans. Sound impossible? Well, it happened. In 2012, Reigns was a part of The Shield, along with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. At the time, they were the hottest team in wrestling. Fresh, young and ambitious, they officially arrived at the TLC PPV in 2012. There were many highlights here, but the crowd popped big when The Shield put Ryback through the announcer's table. Unlike some of the early TLC matches, there weren't a ton of huge falls and dives off of high places, but the ring psychology was off the chart and it is easy to see why The Shield was too good to keep together. All three would eventually become world champions.
John Cena vs. Randy Orton, TLC, 2013
The Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage of their generation. Cena and Orton were made to wrestle each other. Although 2013 wasn't their best match, it was a memorable one because it was champion vs. champion with the two respective brand titles hanging above the ring. Both of these guys were in phenomenal shape and worthy of being WWE champion. Like the match at Unforgiven, Cena delivered an amazing Attitude Adjustment to Orton onto the ringside announcers table. This match deserves points for its creativity. Cena, tied to the bottom turnbuckle with handcuffs, unscrewed the turnbuckle and raced to the top of the ladder to pull Orton down. But Orton would not stay down. He climbed up and pulled the ringside cable, which was still attached to Cena off the ladder and onto the mat. Orton won the match in another classic between these two.

I tend to post a lot of pictures of showy flowers, but there is also a lot of satisfaction in observing the vegetative growth of plants and the swelling of fruit and setting of seeds. This is especially true, of course, of useful plants like herbs, spices, and grains. Here are a few that are doing well for me right now:
Tulsi or holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum)
A baby pandan plant (Pandanus amaryllifolius)
Curry leaf (Murraya koenigii)
'India Jvala' hot pepper (Capsicum annuum 'India Jvala')
'M-101' rice (Oryza sativa 'M-101'), a modern Californian variety that is doing very well this year
The 'Duborskian' rice has been harvested, though due to very hot and dry weather while it was flowering and we were away in Malaysia, its yield is quite poor this year, with lots of blanks on almost every stalk. 'M-101', which was blooming just as we got back three weeks ago and is starting to ripen now appears to be doing much better. 'Hmong Sticky' is just about to begin heading, as are a few plants which I think are yet another variety - though I have lost track of whether those particular ones were 'Koshihikari', 'Carolina Gold', or 'Charleston Gold'. Hopefully at least a few heads will have a chance to develop properly, in which case it should be easy to tell the variety by the shape and color of the grains.

Up to Four Days
After a certain period in the fridge, food will start to grow mold or bacteria that can be harmful to your health. According to Katherine Zeratsky, a nutritionist at the Mayo Clinic, you can keep leftovers in the fridge for up to four days. Leftovers are defined as food that has been prepared in any way, whether cooked or cut.
Use your Judgment
You may want to use the zucchini before four days are up, depending on what you use them for. If they are to be cooked into a quiche, for example, their texture and color does not matter as much. If you want to use the zucchini raw in a salad, though, keep an eye on it to make sure it is not going brown or flaccid.
Bottom Line
Use the prepared zucchini within four days after you store it in the fridge. If you intend to use it without cooking it consider using it even sooner than this.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Denver forward Carmelo Anthony, the NBA's
fourth-leading scorer, sat out his fifth straight game Wednesday
night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Denver defeated Memphis, 106-102.
Anthony, who averages 25.5 points, sprained his left ankle
against the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 21. The Nuggets, who started
the night a half-game behind the Utah Jazz for the lead in the
Western Conference's Northwest Division, are 2-2 since Anthony's
With Chucky Atkins also out after surgery on a right
groin/abdominal strain, and Nene's recovery from testicular cancer,
the Nuggets had only 10 players available.
The Grizzlies had even fewer, dressing nine players because of
injuries, a suspension and the release of two players this week.
Pau Gasol, the team's second-leading scorer and leading
rebounder, was on the active list, but dressed in street clothes,
because of a lingering sore back. Gasol missed two games with the
back ailment, before playing 28 minutes in the Grizzlies' 103-84
loss to Dallas on Monday.
The Grizzlies had 14 players on their roster at the start of the
week, but released veteran guard Damon Stoudamire on Monday. The
Grizzlies declined to sign forward Bobby Jones after his second
10-day contract expired on Tuesday, the same day they suspended
forward Stromile Swift for Wednesday's game for an exchange with
coach Marc Iavaroni against Dallas.
That brought the available roster to 11. Rookie guard Mike
Conley was placed on inactive status with a chest contusion that
has caused him to miss three straight games. Add the injured Gasol
to those unavailable, and the Grizzlies were left with nine.
League rules require a team have 12 active players and at least
one on the inactive list for a game. But Grizzlies officials said
the league allows a two-week window for teams to get the roster
numbers up to the minimum.

(2004) "Ash is versatile" Rituparno Ghosh
On the day of his first Hindi film release, we caught up with director Rituparno Ghosh to find out more on the film and the actress he has worked with.
Excerpts of his recent tete-e-tete
Let's start with the title of the film, why 'Raincoat'?
I am not very fluent with Hindi, therefore keeping a Hindi title was a little difficult for me. I also believe that a title like this adds a little mystery to the film. And once you see the film then you will be able to connect with the two.
How have you used rain to tell the story?
Its more than rain, it's the entire sawan (Hindi month) or the monsoon period. The 'Viraha' (period of separation) between lovers finds an aching symbol in rain. Further, in our quest to get contemporary, we seem to forget our Indianness. And an element such as this helps reinstate just that.
You have worked with Aishwarya Rai in 'Chokher Bali' and now in 'Raincoat'. What according to you is her appeal?
Ash is versatile. I like her more in the regional cinema that she has done, be it in Tamil or in Bengali. I saw her in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', and I was extremely impressed with her. But she can manage both regional and Hindi or Bollywood cinema. In 'Raincoat', you will be looking at her in a very different light.
Ash is playing a simple girl or rather a housewife. How did you decide on her look?
We didn't sit with any stylist for her look or anything. Our script was strong enough to derive at Neerja's look. I didn't have to convince Ash at all. As she got comfortable with the role. She did everything required for it. She also put on some weight for the rounded look that the film demanded.
Ajay has mentioned that his character of Manoj is special. Why?
Manoj is a defeatist. To put it simply, he is a loser. And for an actor to portray that with proper emotions is a hard task. And Ajay's performance is commendable in the film. It was also he, who suggested that we stick with this title.
What is the one thing about filmmaking that fascinates you?
Unfortunately or rather fortunately, I am in love with cinema as a whole. I am not into sections or aspects of it. I look at the total picture.
The industry and the critics are too keen on slotting a film. What do you think 'Raincoat' will get slotted as?
I don't know that. As I am the filmmaker and I am not sitting on the other side of the fence. But like any other film 'Raincoat' will find its audience. And I can promise them one thing, which is an intimate interplay of emotions with a charming gift towards the climax. So they have to keep an open mind when the come to see the film.

According to Anderson, Mayor Huether said, 'There is a hunger for change," but national-level Democrats are not responding to that hunger. "Party labels do not drive me," said the mayor. Whether his new independent voter registration is part of a drive toward higher office remains unknown; Mayor Huether declined to say whether he is running for Governor or anything else in 2018.
But take note, South Dakota Democrats: one of the few prominent public figures mentioned as a possible Democratic contender to replace Dennis Daugaard has signaled to our voters that the Democratic brand isn't worth sticking with.

CALHOUN, TEXAS (Dallas County). Calhoun, also known as Fisher, was at the intersection of Fisher Road and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, six miles northeast of downtown Dallas in northeastern Dallas County. Northwest Highway is to the north, Mockingbird Road is to the south, and White Rock Lake is one mile to the east. The community was on the original land grants of D. A. Murdock to the northeast and D. Murray to the southwest. The area was first settled in 1844 when Tom Fisher built a home in the area, reportedly one of the first houses in Dallas County. Fisher was a rural agricultural community characterized by a number of small farms and was almost certainly named after this early pioneer.
Sometime in the late 1800s Fisher became known as Calhoun. The change of name may have occurred simultaneously with the construction of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad through the community in 1886. However, it is most likely that Calhoun was the name of the post office, which was established in Fisher in 1888 and remained until 1906. In 1890 the community was still called Fisher and had two general stores and a population of twenty-five. By 1900 the settlement was called Calhoun and had a population of fifty, a drugstore, a general store, a banker, and a Baptist church. John Body served as postmaster. By the 1930s the site of the community was in the Dallas city limits.

Satellite Data Yield New Understanding Of How Galapagos Volcanoes Are Formed
The chance transit of a satellite over the April 2009 eruption of Fernandina volcano
November 05, 2013
HAWAI`I ISLAND, Hawaii — The chance transit of a satellite over the April 2009 eruption of Fernandina volcano — the most active in South America's famed Galápagos archipelago — has revealed for the first time the mechanism behind the characteristic pattern of eruptive fissures on the island chain's volcanoes, according to a new study by University of Miami (UM) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists. Their model not only sheds light on how Galapagos volcanoes grow, which has been a subject of debate since Darwin's time, but may also help in forecasting the locations of future eruptions, adding to the vast scientific knowledge acquired by study of this iconic island chain.
In the study, Marco Bagnardi, a doctoral candidate at the UM Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) and visiting scientist at USGS' Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, analyzed surface deformations on Fernandina from European Space Agency (ESA) ENVISAT satellite images acquired just two hours before the 2009 eruption. He sought to explain why Hawaiian and Galápagos volcanoes, while similar in some respects, show different eruptive patterns. Eruptions from Hawai'i's volcanoes tend to occur along narrow radial rift zones, while the shields of western Galápagos volcanoes have eruptive fissures circumferential to the summit near the calderas but oriented radially on the flanks below.
Bagnardi found that magma began moving away from Fernandina's reservoir as a sill, or horizontal feature, before rotating vertically and erupting as a radial fissure on the volcano's southwest flank. A sill also fed the 2005 eruption at Fernandina, but that magma moved upward to form a circumferential fissure closer to the volcano's summit. These data suggest that sills feed all eruptive activity in the Galápagos but that they rotate in different ways as they propagate toward the host volcano's surface.
"Our findings have literally turned our perspective by 90 degrees, Bagnardi said. "For decades, we thought that eruptions in the Galápagos were starting with the intrusion of vertical blade-like bodies. We now know this is not the case."
UM RSMAS is part of a long-term satellite-based monitoring program of the Galápagos volcanoes using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), a technique that uses repeat satellite observations to measure millimeter-scale ground displacements Bagnardi credited the extremely fortunate; timing of data collected by the ENVISAT satellite, which passed over the island just when magma was already on its way toward the surface. Fernandina erupts every four-five years, on average, and satellites pass over the archipelago only once every several days, he said.
The team theorizes that Hawaiian and Galápagos volcanoes behave differently because neighboring volcanoes of the Galápagos grew concurrently and did not affect one another as they formed. Hawaiian volcanoes, however, grow sequentially, meaning that older volcanoes control the structural development, including eruptive patterns, of younger edifices.
Based on the relations between deformation and eruptions at Fernandina in 1995 and 2005, the authors argue that the next eruption of Fernandina will be from a circumferential fissure on the southwest side of the caldera in the area uplifted by the 2009 sill intrusion.
"Unfortunately, we are still not able to predict the timing of future eruptions, in the Galápagos or elsewhere," Bagnardi said. "However, providing a forecast for the location and type of eruption is a step in the right direction.
Satellite imagery used in the study was also provided by the Japanese Space Exploration Agency (JAXA). This research was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Cocurricular activities play a number of important roles in primary school. Developing children need an outlet to stretch their legs, burn off excess energy and strengthen their muscles. Cocurricular activities also enhance the lessons that they learn in the classroom. Cocurriculars are similar to extracurriculars but vary in several specific ways.
Cocurricular vs. Extracurricular
California's Huntington Beach City School District explains that extracurricular activities take place entirely outside of the school curriculum. No grades are assigned and no classroom time is utilized. Cocurriculars support classroom learning. Portions of a cocurricular activity may take place in the regular classroom or during the traditional school day. Nonetheless, an activity is neither extracurricular nor cocurricular if its primary goal is academic or educational achievement.
Importance of Cocurricular Activities
Cocurricular activities can help students to become well-rounded. The range of options in primary schools helps students narrow down their interests and discover their passions. Cocurriculars provide the opportunity for hands-on application of classroom lessons. Children who participate in cocurricular activities develop a healthy sense of competition yet learn to be gracious in defeat. Cocurriculars provide opportunities for children to take initiative and learn effective leadership skills. They also provide an appropriate outlet for expressing feelings, helping kids learn to communicate and offering tangible rewards for hard work.
Examples of Cocurricular Activities
Cocurricular activities enhance the learning experience in some way. Reading competitions, book clubs, spelling bees, safety patrol, mentoring programs, service clubs and arts groups are examples of cocurriculars available at many schools. Some schools include athletics in their definition of cocurricular, while others define athletics as extracurricular. Each program has a learning component as well as a recreational aspect.
Eligibility Requirements for Cocurricular Activities
Cocurricular activities are typically voluntary, although students might be required to choose one or more from among the school's available offerings. In primary school, the main prerequisite often is interest in the subject. Some groups, such as safety patrol or service club, are open only to older elementary students. Depending on the activity, students might be required to maintain satisfactory grades or demonstrate such qualities as leadership and good judgment.

One area?
What I found, as a casual player, was that the game kept me in one area for a hell of a long time. Monotony and repetition set in very quickly, doing the same damn heart events (basically just traditional quests without the pick-ups or turn-ins) day in, day out, in the same area, with the same visual style, and ....
...This is all very subjective.
To the thread starter:
At level 1, you already have 5 full maps to explore as you wish, one starting zone per race accessible by
- locating your capital city's asura gate to Lion's Arch (giant round purple stargate portal).
- port through it and use the corresponding portal from Lion's Arch to any of the other capital cities of other races of your choice.
- find your way through the city to the start zone of that race.
All five maps are as different as it can get, tropical jungles for one, rolling plains in another, snowy alpine highlands... fantasy fey forests...country farmlands...
That's not even including the 5 entire capital cities no less unique.
Nor does it count the spvp maps you can choose to join at any lvl.
There are various zones you could choose from at subsequent higher lvls as well. Personally I took 3 months to hit max level and am still not yet done exploring the lower lvl zones.
If you feel adventurous and think you could handle zones higher than your lvl, no one is stopping you from trying. I was doing lvl 24 heart quests at lvl 7, for example, simply because I stumbled into the zone by accident.
And then there's yet another 4 full map sized zones in world vs world which you also can join at any lvl, if you want a break at anytime from pve.
Yes, it is indeed truly very subjective.

This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/251,401 (U.S. Pat. No. 7,395,435), filed on Sep. 20, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to secure memories, and more specifically to secure memory devices which do not incorporate an internal microprocessor.
Integrated circuit (IC) cards, commonly referred to as "smart cards" are widely used for data access protection. The smart card is generally a plastic card with a secure memory or microcontroller built into the card. The storage area of the secure memory is often divided into blocks of memory. The object of providing security to a memory is to protect against unauthorized access to and tampering with the data stored in these blocks of memory.
Smart cards have been used in a variety of applications. Some of these applications include, for example, electronic cash cards, in which monetary values are stored on the card to conduct electronic commerce, pre-paid telephone cards, in which a prepaid monetary value is stored on the card and is deducted by the appropriate amount during telephone use, and customer loyalty cards, in which a customer receives points from purchases at a grocery store, gas station, etc. . . . and then the points are accumulated on the card and are later exchanged for prizes, monetary discounts, or other benefits. Obviously, it is important to the institution who issued the card, be it a bank, phone company, or grocery store, as well as to the consumer using the card, that the smart card be secure from unscrupulous people who would attempt to tamper with or gain unauthorized access to the data on the card.
Many cryptology methods have been used to provide security to the data on the smart cards. In cryptology, the plain text message, which often is computer data in binary streams of 1's and 0's, is transformed under the control of a key, known only to the legitimate communicants, into ciphertext or encrypted data. Cryptology is used for a number of security functions of the smart card. For example, the user must corroborate his identity to the card each time that a transaction is made. Typically, the card and the card reader execute a sequence of encrypted sign/countersign-like exchanges to verify that each is dealing with a legitimate counterpart. Once this exchange is carried out, then the transaction itself is carried out in encrypted form to prevent anyone, including the card holder or the merchant whose card reader is involved, from eavesdropping on the exchange and then later impersonating either party to defraud the system. This cryptology security protocol is usually carried out in such a way that it is transparent to the user, except for the necessity of entering a password or PIN to initiate the transaction.
The majority of smart cards presently available incorporate an internal microprocessor in order to carry out the authentication and security functions. However, microprocessor-based smart cards are expensive, and thus are not normally used for inexpensive, large-scale consumer products.
A secure memory device can be used for multi-application smart cards, and for secure identification in data transfer or for component verification in a computer system, without the requirement of an internal microprocessor. The secure memory device features a dual authentication protocol in which the memory and host authenticate each other. The secure memory device also includes an encrypted password feature, as well as using stream encryption to encrypt the data. The embedded authentication protocol allows the memory and the host to authenticate each other. The device and host exchange a series of numerical "challenges" issued from a random number generator and verify their values through a specific cryptographic function included in each part. When both agree on the same result, then access to the memory is permitted.
With reference to
In one embodiment, the Vcc input is a 2.7 volt to 5.5 volt positive voltage supplied by the secure memory reader, otherwise known as the host device. When the synchronous protocol is used, the SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into the secure memory device and negative edge clock data out of the device. In the asynchronous T=0 protocol, the SCL input is used to provide the secure memory device with a carrier frequency f. The nominal length of one bit emitted on the input/output (I/O) is defined as an "elementary time unit" (ETU) and is equal to 372/f. The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with other open drain or open collector devices. Up to 15 devices may be wire-ORed together. An external pull up resistor should be connected between the SDA and Vcc pins. The value of this resistor and the system capacitance loading the SDA bus will determine the rise time of the SDA. This rise time will determine the maximum frequency during read operations. Low value pull-up resistors will allow higher frequency operations while drawing higher average supply currents. When the RST input is pulsed high, the secured memory 20 will output the data programmed into a 64 bit (8 byte) answer to reset register in a EEPROM memory in a data stream conforming to the ISO 7816-3 asynchronous answer to reset protocol. When the secure memory 20 is unlocked, the well known ISO two-wire serial protocol or the asynchronous T=0 protocol is used with its respective interface 27, 29, using pins SDA and SCL. The implementation of the synchronous interface, asynchronous ISO interface, and answer to reset blocks are well within the level of skill of those of ordinary skill in the art, and are not discussed in detail herein.
As discussed above, the secure memory device is compatible with two different communication protocols, an asynchronous T=0 protocol (ISO 7816-3) or a synchronous two-wire protocol. Both of these protocols are well known in the art. The power up sequence determines which of the two protocols will be used. To enable the asynchronous ISO interface 29, the power up sequence should be compliant with paragraph 5.1 of ISO 7816-3: RST low, power up Vcc, set I/O-SDA in receiving mode, and provide stable CLK-SCL. To enable the synchronous two-wire interface 27, the following power up sequence should be carried out: RST and CLK-SCL high, power up Vcc.
In preventing the unauthorized access to the EEPROM memory 39, two potential instances of authorized access must be addressed. The first instance arises because of the transmittal of the secure memory from the manufacturer of the secure memory to the card manufacturer or transmittal of the smart card from the card manufacturer to the current issuer. To prevent the unauthorized use of the secure memory prior to the time it is personalized by the card issuer for the end user, a security code, typically referred to as a transport code, determined by the manufacturer and conveyed to the card manufacturer and the current issuer must be used to gain access to the secure memory. In a second instance, security must be provided to ensure that the end user is authorized to use the smart card, and further that both the smart card and the smart card reader are authentic.
With reference to
The fabrication zone 112 is typically partitioned into an Answer to Reset, Fab Code, a Memory Test Zone (MTZ), a Card Manufacturer Code, and a Lot History Code. The Answer to Reset is a 64-bit register, the Fab Code is a 16-bit register, and then Lot History Code is a 64-bit register. The contents of these registers are programmed by the manufacturer of the secure memory chip. Once these registers have been programmed, and a "fuse" dedicated to the secured memory manufacturer is blown, as will be described below, the content of these registers can be read, but not altered. The Memory Test Zone (MTZ) is two bytes that are made available for memory and protocol test. The Card Manufacturer Code is a 32-bit register whose contents can be programmed by the smart card manufacturer on the presentation of a valid security code. As set forth above, the security code acts to secure transportation between the secured memory chip manufacturer and the smart card manufacturer. Once this register has been programmed, and a "fuse" dedicated to the smart card manufacturer is blown, the content of this register can be read, but not altered.
The access zone 114 is typically partitioned into an 8-bit device configuration register (DCR), a 56-bit identification number, sixteen 8-bit access registers, and sixteen 8-bit password/key registers. The identification number is defined by the card issuer and is different for each card. Each of the access registers is a configuration register that controls the operations that can be performed in one of the user zones and the security tests that must be satisfied before those operations can be performed. Each of the access registers may be programmed upon the presentation of a valid security code up until the time the fuse dedicated to the smart card issuer is blown. The access registers may be freely read.
With reference to
The authentication mode bits (AM1, AM0) determine whether authentication is required for access to the zone.
The password mode bits (PM1, PM0) determine whether passwords are required for access to the zone.
Referring back to
With reference to
The secret seed zone 118 contains 64-bit secret keys (G0 to G3) that are programmed by the smart card issuer upon the presentation of a valid security code. There are generated by the smart card issuer as functions of the identification number. Once the fuse dedicated to the smart card issuer is blown, the seeds may not be read or altered. The identification number may only be read upon the presentation of a valid security code.
Finally, the password zone 120 is typically partitioned into 8 sets of two 24-bit passwords for read and write operations, defined by the issuer. The write password allow modification of the read and write passwords of the same set. Associated with each of the sixteen passwords is a 4-bit password attempts counter (PAC). The passwords may be defined and read by the smart card issuer upon the presentation of a valid security code. After the fuse dedicated to the smart card issuer has been blown, a valid password would be required to access a user zone if the respective read or write password enable configuration bit in an access register has been set. Each program attempts counter, like the authentication attempts counters (AAC0 to AAC3) described above, is an 4-bit counter that prevents a systematic attack on the password that may be required before read and write access to selected user zones is permitted. Each time a password is presented for user comparison, an associated password attempt counter is incremented. If, after four attempts, the password comparison is unsuccessful, that password becomes completely locked and any zone whose access is controlled by this password cannot be accessed by anyone, including the secure memory manufacturer (other zones not dependent on that locked password will remain fully functional). Each time the password comparison is successful, the associated password attempts counter is reset to "0". The password attempt counters may be read by the smart card issuer upon the presentation of a valid security code. After the fuse dedicated to the smart card issuer has been blown, a particular password attempt counter associated with a user zone may only be written by the internal logic if the respective write password enable configuration bit and the appropriate access register has been set. The password attempt counters may be freely read.

With reference to
The Hk blocks are then used to compute three different values, the first value (Ci+1) 54 is used to authenticate the host, the second value (Ci+2) 57 is used to authenticate the device, and the third value is a session encryption key (Sk) 216. The value Ci+1 is sent by the host and verified by the device. If this check is successful, then the device computes Ci+2 and stores it in place of Ci. The host then reads the device's Ci+2 value and compares it with its own to authenticate the device. A new session encryption key Sk is computed and stored by the host and the device during every successful authentication. Each session key may later be used to activate data encryption between both entities. With reference to
Before the host and device can exchange encrypted data, an encryption activation needs to be carried out. This process is identical to the authentication described above, except that the session encryption key Sk should be used instead of the authentication key Gc. Using a session key for encryption is more cryptographically secure than if the key were fixed. By having the key change every time a new session occurs, it makes it more difficult for a hacker to figure out what the key is in order to break the code. When the transmitter and receiver are synchronized, having gone through the same encryption activation, they may encrypt and decrypt data in cipher block chaining mode. The transmitter combines by using an exclusive OR gate, the non-encrypted data (plain text, Pj), with the output of the Hk block to produce encrypted data (the cipher text, Cj). The receiver produces the same output key stream, and recovers the plain text by exclusive OR of the key stream with the cipher text. These equations are shown below:
Encryption: C 0←IV. For 1≦j≦t, C j ←P j ρH k(C j−1)
Decryption: C 0←IV. For 1≦j≦t, P j ←C j ρH k(C j−1)
The cipher-block chaining mode of operation is used not only because it increases the security of the device, but also because the feedback of ciphertext into the encryption function allows on-the-fly computation of message authentication code.

Specific deductions: employee benefit trusts: general-purpose EBTs: deductions for employers' contributions: introduction
S12 Inheritance Act 1984, S38 Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005, S1290 Corporation Tax Act 2009
Employers' contributions to employee benefit trusts
Employers' contributions to employee benefit trusts (EBTs) are usually allowable as a deduction (at some time) unless they are:
- capital expenditure, see BIM44560, and/or
- not wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the employer's trade, see BIM44565.
Timing of deductions
The timing of when a deduction is given for a contribution to a general-purpose EBT, in computing an employer's taxable trade profits, depends on:
- when it is deducted in accounts prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, and
- whether the timing of that deduction is deferred for tax purposes by specific legislation such as the EBT anti-avoidance legislation.
The EBT legislation broadly aligns the timing and amount of the employer's deduction for contributions to general-purpose EBTs with the timing and amount on which the employee is chargeable to Income Tax and on which NICs liability arises.
Further guidance on the timing of deductions is at BIM44570 onwards.
Disallowing deductions - Inheritance Tax consequences
A report should be made to Specialist PT (IHT) where an EBT contribution has been disallowed as a deduction (whether the deduction has been deferred to a later period or disallowed altogether) if:
- the company is a close company, and
any of its shareholders are beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries of the EBT, for example by:
- being directors or employees of the company and not being excluded by the terms of the trust deed from benefiting from the EBT, or
- in fact receiving benefits from the EBT (for example by receiving interest free loans), or
- having assets of the EBT irrevocably ring fenced in a sub trust from which they may benefit.
In these cases a report should also be made to Specialist PT (IHT) if deductions for such contributions are allowed for a later period (see BIM44605).
The background to the need for such reports is that when an individual settles assets in a discretionary trust, a lifetime Inheritance Tax (IHT) charge may arise. Similarly, if a close company settles assets in a discretionary trust from which shareholders in the company may benefit, there may a lifetime IHT charge on the shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. However, there are no IHT consequences if a close company makes a contribution to an EBT which is allowed as a deduction in computing the company's taxable profits.
Reports should be made to
Specialist PT (IHT) Technical Group,
Meldrum House,
15 Drumsheugh Gardens,
or by e-mail to EBT, Meldrum (Specialist PT Trusts & Estates).

The last-minute passage of South Korea's cap-and-trade bill made headlines back in 2012, when it set the stage for the world's second largest emissions trading system (ETS).
A year later, as details of the ETS emerged, the program once again made the news – this time for the dubious honor of the world's most (potentially) expensive carbon market.
Under the country's penalty scheme, non-compliant companies can be fined at three times the average price of allowances for that compliance year, with a cap at KRW 100,000 (USD $90) per tonne.
Since the initial allocation of allowances and launch of the market, there has been growing talk of an allowance shortage.
Sungwoo Kim, an official advisor to the government through consulting firm KPMG, gave greater insight during a panel at the Climate Action Reserve's Navigating the Amiercan Carbon World conference in Los Angeles last month.
He estimated there will be a 57 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) shortage during the first phase of the ETS (2015-2017) – which could increase the costs for covered entities to meet their requirements.
Despite the expensive consequences, companies have shown little interest in trading allowances since the program's launch at the beginning of January. The last trade registered in mid-January, and companies have given no indication that will change soon.
The carbon stakes are high
While the penalty is high for non-compliance, most companies are placing an even bigger bet: that the government will distribute additional allowances.
Several industry associations have sued the government over the allocation of permits in an effort to increase the total amount of allocations. Emitters allege the government has under-allocated by up to 20 per cent, but so far government officials have remained unmoved.
The largest opponent has been perhaps the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI), an economic organization in Korea for members earning annual sales of 50 billion won or more. FKI recently released its annual economic outlook survey, which found that – behind a drop in domestic demand – the cap-and-trade program remains the next largest concern for businesses.
In reality, though, the program mainly affects the country's largest corporations, with 10 companies responsible for an estimated 76 per cent of emissions covered under the ETS.
These organizations have the most to lose from penalties. As a result, many companies (or rather the companies' membership organizations) have taken the fight to the courts over allowance volumes. The grievance specifically revolves around the way allocations were determined because the Korean government averaged entities' emissions from 2011 to 2013.
For organizations that saw a decrease in emissions during those three years, it is likely that they will remain beneath their allocation while the opposite is true for companies with a higher emissions trend.

We know it's Monday, so hopefully you've been looking forward to some really good news. That is, if you've been eagerly anticipating the full retail release of the white variation of the HTC EVO 4G for Sprint. The device has been available for a little while now, but it's been only available as an exclusive release from Best Buy Mobile, and some people just don't like to get their phones there. So, Sprint has officially announced that the device will be made available in other locations, just in time for the holidays.
The white EVO 4G is just like the other device, with the exception of the color scheme. You'll still get Android 2.2, a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen display, and HTC's Sense User Interface. So, basically a great package, now wrapped in a white case. What's better, though, is that the device is available for purchase right now on Sprint's website, and it will be made available to other national retail partners soon enough. It will still cost you $199 after the $100 mail-in rebate, though. Who's getting it?

Bug Report: Gestures

I have defined the gesture for closing as tab as a simple downward swipe. If that swipe begins with the mouse cursor on top of a link, the browser will go to that link in a new tab instead of closing the old tab. This is 100% repeatable, and happens on both of my computers.

because also "Open link in new tab (over a link)" has the same gesture, change it
Thank you. I did not set those, so it looks as if they are new features which added with a recent update. I just removed them, as middle-click will open a link in a new tab.

When you work for a company that specializes in content marketing and online brand management like Raidious does, there are often a lot of numbers flying around behind the scenes. As a production specialist and one-half of the Raidious analytics and strategy team, I get to wrangle those numbers into charts and tables and figure out what they even mean. And let me tell you, sometimes the numbers don't do what you want them to.
When I started working here back in January, I learned the ropes by diving in and making sense of things along the way. Now, months later, it's become way easier to understand when it's time to cool my jets versus when it's okay to panic, yell "Fire!" and reevaluate the situation.
1. If monthly gains are smaller for the reporting month than they were the previous month, that's okay. The key thing to remember is that there were gains. Even with the most-talked-about, highest-profile clients, there are still occasional dips in gains. It just happens, man. Fortunately, even the smallest gain will cause a total month-over-month percentage increase.
2. If there's a holiday coming up, depending on your brand and the holiday, you could see great engagement and reach gains on your social channels. And then, after the merriment has settled and the holiday has passed … your numbers could drop. That's completely normal. Your decrease in numbers is likely just a return to normalcy.
3. If you just held an awesome social media contest that went over really well, you'll likely see lower numbers the following month. This is totally fine, as well. Just remember, you were probably publishing way more content at that point that more or less demanded engagement. If you were able to hold a successful contest, your audience is clearly interested in what you're all about, and they're probably going to stick around to see what else you've got.
4. If it's a shorter month, and as a result, all of your numbers are in the red, that's okay, too. Shorter months often lead to smaller numbers. Think about it: With fewer days to publish content, there is less for your fans and followers to engage with and share.
1. If gains get smaller and smaller or completely disappear, you've got yourself a problem. In that case, look for new people to follow on Twitter that might like your brand; they'll likely either follow back or look at your profile. Also, keep pushing out content that is consistent in tone and frequency. Finally, engage with your fans and followers. Being human and showing a little personality will make people much more interested in what you have to say.
2. If there is a holiday and your company is one that could cater to that holiday, but your numbers don't increase … you've got yourself a problem. In this case, start showcasing your products and any specials you might have that make your company different from the rest. Look for new followers on Twitter, and interact with your audience on all of your social networks to make sure your brand is out there as an option.
3. If you're holding a contest but nobody is entering, there are several things that could be going wrong. First, your audience could be too small. Second, your audience might not be appropriate for or interested in the contest you're running. Third, there wasn't enough build up or publicity for the contest before it started. Forth, you might not be doing a good enough job at consistently reminding people about your contest. Finally, the prize isn't enough to motivate people to do what you're asking of them. Figure out what the problem is, and the solution should be pretty self-explanatory.
4. If a situation occurs or news breaks about something bad happening and you're not all over the situation, you've got a whole slew of potential problems coming at you. The most important thing to do here is to monitor and moderate the situation as best you can. If you don't, you could risk brand and reputation damage depending on the situation. Along with that damage comes the possibility that your social media audience could diminish and your content engagement numbers will decrease as a result.
Learning which numbers matter, which numbers don't, and how to manage it all can take quite a bit of time and work, but in the grand scheme of things, it really does make all the difference. Fortunately for many companies in need, that's what Raidious is here for.

Matchbox Food Group has over 15 locations among its three restaurant brands, making an organized and customer-friendly web presence essential. As their advertising partner, we built four completely responsive websites: matchboxrestaurants.com, tedsbulletin.com, eatdc3.com, and matchboxfoodgroup.com to handle their corporate and individual brands as well as an email campaign template that could be adapted as their business continued to grow.
As business continued to grow, Matchbox Food Group needed an online presence that could keep up as they added more and more locations across the country. In order to make sure we were building for their future, Stream designed their websites around user location.
So when a visitor lands on the site they're asked to allow location services which can automatically begin tailoring the visitor's online experience based on the restaurant location that's closest to them.

Celestion G12M-65 Creamback 12" 65 W 8 Ohm Guitar Speaker by Celestion
Item Information
The G12M Greenback is perhaps the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet guitar speaker. Developed in the mid-sixties, it was quickly adopted by players like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page, who typified the louder and more aggressive blues rock playing styles that came to characterize that era.The G12M-65 Creamback produces the familiar woody G12M tone, but handles greater power making it ideally suited for today's amps, when a vintage tone is desired. The increased power handling brings with it low end grunt complementing the warm and vocal mid range, crunchy upper- mids and sweet, refined highs.

Coventry-born musician John 'Brad' Bradbury has died aged 62.
Best known for his role as drummer in the English Ska group The Specials, John was active in the music industry for almost half a century.
Hailed as the world's greatest drummer by his music colleagues, Bradbury joined the Specials in 1979 and played during the reunion tour from 2008 onwards.
The Specials produced hits including Free Nelson Mandela, Too Much Too Young and Ghost Town.
The news broke when the official Specials Twitter account tweeted: "It is with deep regret that we say goodbye to our great friend, the world's greatest drummer, our beloved Brad."
His cause of death is currently unknown.
