On Monday, the Flash memory affiliate of memory product maker Kingston Technology Company announced its DataTraveler HyperX Predator line at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) now taking place in Las Vegas. The new line includes both USB 2.0 and 3.0 USB Flash drives, and the 3.0 version offers capacities up to 1TB, which the company said will be the largest such pocket drive in existence.
The 1TB version will be available within the first quarter of this year, and its smaller cousin, the 512GB version, is shipping now at a price of $1,750. The price on the terabyte product has not yet been released.
'Entire Digital World'
The new Predator offers the fastest 3.0 USB that Kingston makes, having obtained SuperSpeed USB 3.0 certification with transfer rates up to 240MB/s read and 160MB/s write when used with a USB 3.0 host controller. For a USB 2.0 host controller, speeds are 30 MB/s for read and write. The drive supports Windows 7 and 8, Vista, XP (SP3), Mac (10.6+), and Linux (kernel 2.6.+) machines.
Andrew Ewing, Kingston's Flash memory business manager, said in a statement that the new line "allows users to store their entire digital world on a portable USB 3.0 Flash drive" without any performance lag, including HD movies played back directly from the drive.
The new 3.0 product, which is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, is optimized for computers with USB 3.0 ports. It's targeted at users who work with video or graphics and would like to take all or a large chunk of their library with them. The company said the drive's zinc alloy metal casing provides superior quality and shock resistance, and it ships with a custom Kingston key ring, a HyperX valet keychain, a five year warranty and free technical support.
The company has also started shipping its DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation line of USB drives, featuring both USB 3.0 and 2.0 products. The line includes 64GB and 32GB models, and, in 3.0, read speeds up to 150MBps and write speeds reaching 70 MB/s. In the 2.0 version, those speeds are 30MB/s and 20MB/s, respectively.

Cyber Security Skills for the Real World
Security awareness has to be the continuing practice of a skill and not the continuous reminder of a threat. That's why we need high school students to actively take on real hacking attacks. Like a fire drill or even driver education, students need real practice if they want to learn how not to end up a victim.
Hacker Highschool is a set of lessons and a practical means of providing cybersecurity awareness and critical Internet skills. The program contains free security and privacy awareness teaching materials and back-end support for teachers of accredited junior high, high schools, and home schooling. There are multiple workbooks available in multiple languages. These are lessons that challenge teens to be as resourceful as hackers, including safe Internet use, web privacy, using the Internet safely for research, avoiding viruses and Trojans, legalities and ethics, and more.

Welp...I'd like to say that yesterday's rain was expected -- but to be completely honest, it wasn't. Computer models picked up on the upper-level disturbance that moved across the state and right into the Brazos Valley, but it kept the bulk of rain over the Valley and Hill Country (off about 150 to 200 miles to the west). We expected some shower activity, but certainly nothing like what came on Tuesday.
That being said, if you are going to blow a forecast, it might as well be for the better with some slow, soaking, much needed rainfall. Here's a look at some of the totals that were reported in by our Weather Watchers:
Mother Nature's Mid-Life Crisis
After a soggy and cool Tuesday -- where afternoon highs only reached the upper 60s to extreme low 70s -- daytime temperatures are slated to be back to late Summertime standards in the low 90s. How do we warm up that much? By throwing in a taste of Spring as winds blow in strong at 10-20mph from the South to Southwest, alongside wind gusts between 25 and 30mph. Our record high for today: 92° set way back in 1915. Our forecast high: 90°. We'll be watching the mercury close today.
Right about the time we are reaching our peak heating for today -- a cold front will start to knock on the door of Robertson, Milam and Leon Counties. That front will slide in overnight -- bringing a slight chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm along it -- and ultimately bring in cooler and drier air once again. By Thursday morning, we are expected to wake up to the low 50s in our northern counties, mid 50s for the Central Brazos Valley and lower 60s for the southern reaches of the area. Factor in a breezy to gusty north to northeast wind and some folks may be a little too chilly Thursday morning. Even with full sunshine returning on Thursday, afternoon highs are likely to only reach the upper 70s to low 80s.
Fall is scheduled to return -- but be aware. Should an isolated thunderstorm form along that front this evening / overnight ,(especially in our Eastern Counties -- I-45 and points east) it could become strong to possibly even severe. Overall chance, however, is only a 20% shot.

FARMINGDALE OBSP ^ * WHERE THE HISTORY OF YOUR COMMUNITY ' An Officiaf Newspapor of The Incorporated Village of Farmingdale — Servin' V WEEKLY age and Melville Vol. 8 No. 33 Second Class Postage has been paid at Farming' Thursday, April 8, 1971 SCOUTS GIVE A HAND - Assistant Scout Master John Stanforth, Danny Koffler, Assistant Scout Master, Dr. Giminaro, Dennis Cary, and Assistant Scout Master Dom Aiello ( from left to right) were among the Boy Scout Troop 514 visiting Camp Paquatuck for physically handicapped children at Kalers Pond, Center Moriches.

Mum's The Word From Board of Education The Board of Education of the Farmingdale School district is hard at work formulating the budget for 1971- 72 -• and for the time being pretty closemouthed about it, too. The budget and school taxes were uppermost in the mind of many in the audience at the BoE meeting on Monday night - but not mentioned at all in the business part of the session. During the public participation portion of the meeting taxes, of course, did get mention, such as the comment that the community would not stand for another increase but rather expect the Board of Education to cut out all frills. To this board president Lucille Goulding replied that in her opinion no frills exist that could be eliminated. But she invited anyone having suggestions in regard to the budget to address them to her in writing. Trustee Florence De Haan commented that the board is now meeting three evenings a week to work on the budget and that they are making cuts. When questioned later she said that staff and transportation are among the areas being looked into, but would not comment further. The annual meeting, the vote on the budget and the for school board election will be held on June 8.

There was also a plaque for Charles Powell an employee of the district, who assisted in the efforts far beyond the call of his duty.

The winners presented were Tom Anziana, Jim Tea torn, Mitch Marsirano, Bob Founds, Paul Seggel, Paul Weissberg, Jerome Williams and Jim Dixon. The officers of the Senior High School Honor Society, Joseph Fiociola, Barbara Lefsky, Janet Cohen and Jill Keller, were introduced by their advisor Mrs. Dorothy Silverman.

Saladino announced that the Department of Public Works is preparing plans and specifications for the construction of storm drains and appurtenances in Farmingdale. Saladino reported that when the design phase is completed, the Town Board will advertise for public bidding on the project. The streets included in the plans are Henry Street and Oak Street. Arse" Is Charged In School Blaze Two Teenagers Are Charged With Setting The Fire Two boys, one 15 years old and one 16, going on 17, some cigarettes, a match, a pile of foam rubber, a drop ceiling made out of flammable Celotex- type tiles, benches and a floor with several coats of varnish and finally some premeditation. Put this all together and you have the ingredients of the fire that destroyed the gymnasium of Weldon E. Howitt Junior High School in the first evening hour of Saturday, March 27. The two boys that confessed their responsibility for the blaze originally came to the school yard only to play ball. This is, according to Sgt. Williams of the Arson Squad of the Nassau County Fire Marshall's office, their story. The idea to set the fire came then. One of the two forced open a window, crawled through, and opened the gym door to let the other one in. Seeing a pile of foam rubber, one of them lit a cigarette and placed the burning match on the Some Seats Left On Library Bus There are some seats left on the bus for the Library sponsored trip to Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irving's home, on Thursday, April 15th. This all day visit to one of America's historic landmarks could truly be a family affair. The bus leaves at 8: 45 A. M., cost of transportation is $ 4.00, admission fee $ 1.50.

The South Farmingdale Branch of the Public Library has, on display, prize winning posters designed by students in the Farmingdale Public Schools on the theme of Ecology. foam rubber which immediately caught fire. Now the boys, according to their story, seemed to have second thoughts. They now tried to put out the fire, they said, but it was too late. The flames shot up the wall, got under the tile ceiling which was a drop ceiling, set the tiles ablaze and raced clear across to the other side where the bleacher benches were stacked. Coming down this wall, the fire set the benches and eventually the floor ablaze, aided and abetted by the many coats of varnish that covered benches and floor. Within 15 minutes an inferno was raging that was beyond all control. While both boys are implicated, only the elder one, being past his 16th birthday, h;} s a specific charge lodgc^ against him, namely arson in the second degree. His younger companion is charged with juvenile delinquency and will be remanded to the family court. Back at the school in the meantime work proceeds on the ruins of the gym. Wooden walls have been erected around the burned out brick walls so that the demolition debris can be contained within the area of destruction. The extent of the demolition and therefore the reconstruction can still not be estimated. A PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the WOMEN'S CLUB of the Village of Farmingdale has undertaken the task of CLEAN UP, PAINT UP and SPRUCE UP," the Village of Farmingdale, and WHEREAS, it is the desire of the WOMEN'S CLUB of Farmingdale to provide the incentive and the initiative to all residents and business establishments in the Village so that Farmingdale might become a model clean appearing Village to visitors; residents and the business establishments must cooperate in this worthwhile endeavor, and WHEREAS, each and everyone of us must feel proud in our individual associations with neighbors and business houses, NOW, THEREFORE, I, Joseph Zureck, Mayor of the Inc. Village of Farmingdale, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1971, as, " CLEAN UP, PAINT UP and SPRUCE IT" month in the Village of Farmingdale. Dated: April 2, 1971 Signed, Joseph Zureck Mayor Inc. Village of Farmingdale structural engineer is always present when the demolition crew is at work, trying to determine if some or all of the walls can remain standing. His findings will decide not only the extent of the needed reconstruction but its cost as well. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the demolition job, whether it has to be total or only partly, will most likely be finished when school starts again after the Easter recess. All that will be visible then is a black concrete slab, a reminder that violence and vengefulness can and does strike close to home.

Visit to Juliansplatte Alpine Dairy, Allgaü, Austria.
September 14, 2011 - 3:09pm | by kateThe end of this week sees the start of the Slow Food Cheese Festival in Bra, Italy. Held every two years it is a spectacular event staged in the streets of this ancient town. Small scale cheesemakers and affineurs from all over the world converge to sell cheese, talk cheese, consume cheese and generally have a good time.
As if attending this event, wasn't enough of a privilege, the trip to Europe also affords many overseas visitors such as me, the opportunity to visit cheesemakers and producers in situ. This year, I have been spending time with my friend and colleague Norbert Sieghart of Kaeskuche. Norbert is a wholesaler and exporter of cheeses from Bavaria and the Allgaü region, a mountainous and spectacularly beautiful area reaching across from southern Germany into western Austria.

OD Wiring - Follow Up
Using the image posted by MikeWA in the thread "O/D Wiring Help @ Relay, please" I WILL have the the wiring complete tomorrow (Thursday).
My follow up question is this: Where to I insert a light bulb in the O/D Harness to 1) tell me switch is on & 2) at speed and O/D engaged?
How does the Free Wheeling lever play in all this? -
There's a normally unused terminal on the solenoid, going to contacts inside that close when the solenoid engages. A bulb with power from the accessory feed and provided a ground via these solenoid contacts will tell you that the OD is enabled (cable knob pushed in) and that you've reached OD cut-in speed. Note that the solenoid actually energizes when the governer contacts close, not when you let up on the gas to allow it todrop into OD.
My solenoid is like the picture MikeWA posted - only two terminals external.
Interesting ... I've not seen a '50 and later solenoid without the third terminal.
I may have missed it. I will check later this afternoon when I make the connection to the governor. But I only recall two screw terminals just like the wiring diagram shows.
The cars are older than most of us at this point. So parts have been swapped out and changes made. Dont be surprised if it no longer has the type of part originaly supplied,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Family history has only told me so much about the car. O/D work is not among the stories. And when I pulled the tranny out to have Dr. Doug refurbish the clutch, all appearances would bring me to the conclusion that the the O/D parts, wires, etc...were Original.
Solenoid on my '50 Pacemaker also has just two terminals.
Guys, I must not have had my wakeup pill this morning. That extra terminal was on the pre-1950 solenoids. Sorry 'bout that! Now, the good news is that if you do as I said above but ground the bulb at the solenoid "kickdown terminal" (#6), the light will behave as I described.
Park_W: I have days like that as well. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help us all understand the system.
Just so I understand....I take connect one side of my bulb socket to #6 (green wire going to kick down terminal #3), the other side of the bulb socket goes to the Accessory feed on the keyed switch in the dash AND I mount the bulb socket so it is isolated from anything metal (ie ground). -
Yes, you've got it. As you said, you can connect the grounding wire either to the #6 on the solenoid or to where the other end of the wire from #6 attaches to the kickdown switch .
Thank you. I prefer to know that things are On or Off.
I still may move the kick down as others have suggested in other posts. -
I like it elsewhere rather thanb under the gas pedal. Have done several OD installations for others, put the kickdown switch where the left foot can reach it easily, and all seemed to like that arrangement. Especially good if you're running something higher than 4.55 or 4.10 gears in the rear end
I have what ever gears came stock with the car.
Is the wiring diagram Mike WA posted for 50-52 the same for 1953?
thanks park. i have mine wired up that way. carworks good when not in overdrive shifts well
have not been able to determine if o d is working. have it wored as per diagram. engine appears to rev somewhat but does not appear to pick up speed if i down shift to second its almost like im not in gear or clutch is slipping. clutch is fine when not in o d . any ideas would be helpful
steve -
When NOT in overdrive, your engine IS freewheeling. Especially if you are in a lower gear, say 2nd, it can feel like the clutch is slipping because the engine will be at idle at throttle-off, and when you press the pedal, of course the engine will be free-revving until its speed matches that of the drive train.

If the equalibrium moisture content in my region is 12.5 to 15%, what is the necessary / recommended MC for black walnut as used to make kitchen raised panel doors as well as furniture?
I am afraid there is really no simple answer to this question. But an answer is available and it is found at
You must consider the area you live in and the conditions in which your project will be installed. In the case of raised panels enough space within the rails and stiles is needed to allow for panel expansion and contraction. Also DO NOT GLUE the panels in place under any conditions for they will split.
Available are special balls to remove the "rattle" out of a raised panel door. These I would highly recommend no matter where you live. One place where they can be found is woodworker's supply, http://www.woodworker.com #112-697 bag of 100 for $4.79
Hope this Helps
The WEB site in my last reply to Jeff Allan post should be as follows:
Thanks for the reply. I will play it safe and arrange to kiln dry the lumber to around 8% for optimum stability.
Kiln drying is not always the best option. When lumber is kiln dried it becomes case hardened. That is the exterior of the board is dried quickly while the interior remains at a higher moisture level. This causes greater stresses on the outer surfaces of the board which don't tend to manifest themselves until the board is worked. Even though it is kilned dried, that does not mean it qualifies to meet the levels of moisture content for your area of the country.
To give you an example of this, when some kiln dried boards are run through the table saw you will notice that the board will either pull away from the saw's fence or pinch off the blade even though saw may be set up correctly. Then after the board is cut it can spring into an arc or twist laterally. This is all due to stresses within the lumber.
The alternative to the kiln is of course air drying. Properly air dried lumber, machines without any problems and stays put after the cut. Of course you can't buy air dried lumber from lumber yards or board stores. You pretty much have to get it directly from saw mills. Then once you get it, it needs to be stacked, using sticks, under cover and out of the weather. It then must be allowed to dry over time until it reaches the ambient moisture content of the region in which you live. This is usually about a year. The best way to measure and determine the actual level of moisture is with a moisture meter.
I know this really doesn't solve your immediate problems but I hope it gives you a better insight into what your up against. For your current problem dealing with the Walnut, I would recommend purchasing the walnut you will need and then stacking it (with sticks) in your home. Then using a moisture meter, measure the moisture content of the solid wood furniture (not Plywood or MDF board) within the home to establish a target level for the walnut. When it reaches that level, build the project.
Thank you for your answers. Much appreciated.
What sort of tolerances are acceptable? Flat sawn walnut only shrinks about 2.3% (about 1/4" per ft) across the grain and .25% (about 1/32" per ft) lengthwise when it goes from 15% (air dry) to 7% (kiln dry). Since the frames run lengthwise and the panels are designed to "float" in them, building with air dry lumber won't cause a problem, if you build them tight. That's the reason for the panel construction-- back in the old days, they didn't have the luxury of kilns, and found ways to allow the wood to move. Calculations, by the way, come from the shrinkage calculator on Woodweb.com.
MinnWorker, your description of case hardening is accurate, but it should not be accepted as a property of kiln dry wood. The big kilns push the wood through as fast as they can and rushing the kiln schedule to can cause a host of problems, such as case hardening. I run a custom band saw mill and work with all types of Ozark hardwoods, including walnut, oak, hickory, ash, sassafras, sycamore, cherry, ash, maple, eastern red cedar, and hedge (Osage orange). If a customer wants kiln dry wood, I take it to a local kiln that does custom drying, and have never had any problem with case hardening.
Kiln drying at a slower pace and allowing the wood to equalize moisture content between the core and the surfaces will give excellent results. If drying wood in the shop, end sealing the boards with a product such as Anchorseal will go a long ways toward preventing end checking. Run fans to blow air across the stack during the day, and shut off the fans at night to let the boards equalize,and you'll speed things up without compromising the quality of the lumber.

The Plainfield police blotter is full of these, and you will notice a pattern if you look at the…Read Morenam es. I took someone to court one day, and several people with these same charges were before the person I drove (not for these charges, by the way). They barely got a slap on the hand.
There needs to be a law that any vehicle that is being driven by a non-currently licensed driver, and/or no insurance, needs to be impounded at a high cost per day, and kept for a period of time, say 3 months or so. It if is not the owner driving, too bad. They shouldn't let people without a license drive their car. I am SICK and TIRED of paying for "uninsured motorist" etc. and paying the $1000 deductible on my policy when some illegal or drunk, or irresponsible loser causes an accident to MY vehicle, and I get punished for it.
Watch the police blotter in Plainfield. The police catch alot of these people, so there should be way too many cases to follow to see what really happens. Not sure how you would do that, but I get your point.
Mandatory jail time for even the first offense sounds like a good idea to me, and if they have to stack them up, then tough beans! Follow our laws, or suffer the consequences. You are endangering my life, my children's lives and my family and friends' lives every time you get behind the wheel of a car without following the laws!f

Barakalufeekum. May Allah bless you sister. Well for the last question, asma and Fatima are not his wives. Kadija was the first Muslim who supported him. He did not marry another women when he was with Kadija. After her death he married 8 other women. He loved her the most.but Aishaa the most after her death. 9 is (b). I hope this make people relize that the knowledge of al-Islam is infinite. No matter what age we should always be constant in learning. O son of Adam, how is your heart ever going to be softened by the recitation of Quran when all you read for is to reach the end of the surah ( Hassan al Basri) The one who memorises the Quran must be known by the nights when people are sleeping. By his days when people are eating. By his sadness when people are rejoicing. By his weeping when people are laughing. By his silence when people are indulged in vain talk. And by his humility when people are boasting.( abdullahi ibn masud) The are no means of attaining faith and certainty except through the Quran. (Ibn qiyam al jawziyyah) |

Please wait...
You have no items in your shopping cart.
You'll be amazed at the improvement over traditional hard drive access times the first time you turn on your computer, and for virtually everything you do with your PC. System startup, application load times, data transfers, and even shutdown times are all faster.
Add up all the time you spend all day waiting for your computer — starting up, loading game levels, saving large files and documents — and it can be significant. Using a PC can be a lot more enjoyable when it's not always making you wait.
Force Series 3 SSDs feature support for the Windows® 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC.
The 2.5" form factor allows for installation in most notebook PCs with no adapter required. If you're adding a Force Series 3 SSD to your desktop PC, use the included 3.5" adapter to mount it in any standard hard drive bay.
Jeff Checchi covers the tremendous performance improvements made possible by using Corsair SSDs, and shows how easy it is to install them.
Jake Crimmins demonstrates building a PC for extreme CPU overclocking with liquid nitrogen cooling, and then performs a liquid nitrogen cooling demo.
Previously, in the How to Build a PC segments, we have covered how to plan your build, how to select a CPU, how to select a motherboard, how to select memory, how to select a graphics card, how to choose a case, how to select case fans, how to select a CPU cooler, and how to select a power supply. In this segment we have detailed the criteria for selecting storage, both fixed storage and drives that use removable storage.
Optical Drives
Optical drives have come a long way since the early days of writable CDs. At one time, 10 writable CDs would cost you about $100 or so. Those were surely some expensive 700mb coasters if you had a failed burn, which was unfortunately common.
The Maker Faire is very interesting event. Here is a quote from their website that explains it very well:
"Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these "makers" come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned."
As part of their support for the 2013 Bay Area Maker Faire, NVIDIA had galactically renowned modders Brian "Boddaker" Carter and Richard "DarthBeavis" Surroz on hand to display their incredible computer building and modding skills. Speaking of skills, Boddaker made this Maker Faire sign from scratch.
Corsair proudly brings you the Corsair SSD Toolbox. This helpful utility provides users with several powerful and useful tools for use with Corsair SSDs. Let's take a look.
The Corsair SSD Toolbox will run on:
We have provided a detailed help file which can be accessed by clicking on the question mark symbol shown here circled in red on the upper left side of the screen.
When we originally introduced the Corsair Notebook Upgrade kit, we were really impressed with the Apricorn software. In fact, we used the term "chimple" to describe just how easy the kit was to use. It was so simple, a chimp could use it.
Customers related to us that they wanted a software cloning kit like this without having to buy the entire SSD based kit. So, we've created the new Corsair SSD & Hard Disk Drive Cloning Kit which utilizes the same great software but also has an improved USB 3.0 connector.
The kit includes a USB 3.0 to SATA connector and the Corsair Data Migration software CD. The original connector was USB 2.0 but the new connector shown here is USB 3.0. The new connector is much faster than the original allowing up to 180MB/s read and write speeds.
Much has been written about overprovisioning and its implementation on SSDs. In short, overprovisioning, or OP, is a portion of storage space on an SSD that is reserved for use only by the SSD controller. The three most common uses for this space are wear leveling, the replacement of bad blocks, and read-modify-writes. Overprovisioning serves to help increase both the longevity and performance of SSDs and it is a very common practice among SSD manufacturers.
However, some users would like to be able to buy their SSDs without the built in overprovisioning and make the decision to OP, or not to OP for themselves. They prefer the flexibility of deciding for themselves when to OP and how much space to use based on their specific needs. Corsair has announced and is now offering SSDs without this overprovisioned space.
Corsair SSD Toolbox is our exclusive software for managing your Corsair solid state drive and maintaining its performance. It's a free download for owners of Corsair SSDs, and it works under Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Corsair SSD Toolbox makes it easy to check your drive's S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) status. You can also issue a TRIM command, so that your SSD continues to store data as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The Disk Clone tool makes it easy to upgrade your hard drive to an SSD without having to reinstall your operating system or applications. Upgrading from a smaller Corsair SSD or managing deployment across an enterprise? Secure Wipe quickly blanks your Corsair SSD's contents.
The Drive Information feature reports drive capacity, the drive's model and serial number, and supported features. It also displays the firmware version and allows you to perform an update to a newer version if it's available.

AIDA64, ATTO, CrystalDiskMark, HDTune and SiSoft Sandra and are all very good benchmarks of your SSD performance. However, all Corsair SSD specifications are published based on ATTO performance.
No settings within your operating system need to be adjusted for a Corsair SSD drive to run at optimal performance.
The SATA I spec is slower than most Corsair SSD drives. You would get the best performance from a Corsair SSD drive from a system with SATA II.
All Corsair SSD drives are compatible with both SATA I and SATA II. However, you will only be able to acheive the rated transfer speeds when using the SATA interface that the SSD is designed for.
Enabling AHCI storage mode in your BIOS is the only setting we recommend adjusting for optimal SSD performance.
The TRIM command is a feature of Windows 7 which allows an SSD to maintain its high level of performance over the lifetime of the drive. Here is a link which describes TRIM in more detail:
Corsair SSDs require no maintenance programs or operating system tweaks.

Cool, Arch Linux is going to start shipping Wayland/Weston in the repos soon:
To me, SSDs seems like a solution in search of a problem. All the negatives people list about CSDs seem pretty unimportant and easily bypassed to me.
But then, I don't really care about it much. If KWin wants to try providing SSDs on Wayland, then that's fine with me. We'll see how it works out.
Cool, Arch Linux is going to start shipping Wayland/Weston in the repos soon:
Can you elaborate on that?
In particular Martin's point about very inconsistent decoration _will_ happen in a CSD system. How would it be easily bypassed without going SSD? The hypothetical libdeco is no solution, we both know every toolkit will have their own solution, as will every app started before toolkits get the functionality.
Inconsistent decoration _will_ happen in a SSD system, too. However, I have no reason to believe kwrite and gnome-terminal will suddenly decide to create their own decorations just because we switched over to CSD. Not only is it stupid, but it also means they will have to (each) write their own controls and hook them into their program themselves. Talk about code duplication.
No, most programs will continue as they have, and allow the other layers to handle decoration. There will be exceptions, as there are now (__with SSD__), but I believe they will remain the minority.
Maybe settle for a "middle-ground" in the end?
Like, Wayland provides a library to make/render decorations, which also is themable. Even better, it can provide capability to add a button/menu or whatever in the decoration to "increase creativity" for those who want it.(It would need to care for cases like window shading and undecorating windows that have extra stuff in the decoration of course.)
So the application(actually its toolkit) would use this library to render the decoration in the same texture. But the server/compositor can still "command" the decoration through said library. So shading a window should still be possible, without coding it in the app. You can still have a single texture coming from a window and less IPC. And applications can look consistent(global theming of decoration, just like now). Specifically for the latter,there would be a default theme and the app can still force/request a certain theme, but the compositor optionally can do so as well, and the latter would always come on top in this case(so he compositor would decide if it let's the app choose or not).
I think it's should be possible, then we should get the best of both worlds. We shouldn't have to only look at two extreme ends, there's always the middle too.
It probably wouldn't be too hard to set it up where IF they have client-side-decorations, they can use them, UNLESS the compositor has a specific setting set to true. Such as Kwin might have "Force consistent window decorations." as a true/false setting. Which would let the apps THINK they had CSD but would override them with SSD if set to true. If false then Kwin would provide decorations unless they had some built in.
it's not (only) a matter of aesthetics or user preference
as mentioned earlier, for KWin there's also the matter of providing window tabbed grouping, which is something that could be handled client side if windows all belonged to the same application (as the application would know about the windows, their number and their names), but would lose application isolation and complicate the protocol in the case of different applications (because one should know about the others, handle tab group enter/leave notifications, have access to the whole window stack) - so this case needs to be handled in the server / compositor
so an application running under Kwin could and would use CSD, but SHOULD switch to SSD when tab grouped - thus it would have to support both anyway (for KDE at least)
otoh, since putting a window in a tab group this is an external action initiated by the wm/compositor, asynchronously for the application, it would be the compositor telling the application to disable (on tab group enter) or reenable (on tab group leave) CSD's, rather than the application requesting them (apart from maybe the initial window creation)
oh and lets not forget windowed games (especially FPS's..), those hardly have a decoration of their own...
New blog post regarding decorations ..
Quick, new article!

18+ only - in terms of both age, and maturity.
If you like to qq about loot, talk garbage in /trade chat, or if you'd like to hop in for some free raiding time while you look for the next place to jump... then this isn't the place for you.
If you're the type that comes prepared to raids... flasked, fed, enchanted, gemmed, and understand your class and role... if you want to feel like you're a valued member of YOUR raid team, then check out www.ex-tenebra.org for all the info you need.
Current Recruitment Oportunities:
Ranged DPS (0-1)
Melee DPS (0-1)
(DPS preferably have a raid-ready offspec)
Healers (0-1)
Tank (0-1)
All high quality apps are taken into consideration, regardless of class/role (or even race).

KDE 4.5.4 for Windows Announced
The KDE Windows team continues their progress in bringing KDE applications to MS Windows.
In the announcement, the KDE Windows team cautions that the 4.5.4 release is still not stable or suitable for production work; however, the release gives users new improvements to try. Those improvements include features from the KDE 4.5 release, various bug fixes and the latest version of Phonon-VLC backend.
The team also notes that support for two new compilers has also been added: mingw-w32 and vc100. Currently, in the 4.5.4 release mingw4 and vc90 are supported; however, mingw-w32 and vc100 are scheduled as their replacement in future releases.
Users who want to test out this release can do so by using the KDE-Installer.
More information on this the availability of KDE for Windows can be found on the KDE on Windows Initiative Website.
