Obama Administration
The Democratic Party is a Big Fraud
By Dave Lindorff
This article was first published on the website of PressTV
Just looking at the video images of the two conventions -- the Republican one last week in Tampa, Florida, and this week's Democratic convention in Charlotte, NC -- one can see the fundamental contrast between the rank-and-file of the two parties.
Obama's America: Waiting For Blowback
The United States has suffered three widely acknowledged military disasters since the end of the Second World War: in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. The American public responded to each crisis by electing new leaders with a mandate to end the wars and avoid new ones. But in each case, our new leaders failed to make the genuine recommitment to peace and diplomacy that was called for.
Virginia Senate candidate Tim Kaine spoke prior to Obama's speech on Wednesday in Charlottesville, Va. He had praise for anyone signing up to go to war in Afghanistan. "We can still put our positive thumbprint on that nation," he said, to wild cheers. Imagine the competition among the world's nations to get our thumbprint next! Imagine what it costs to get our assprint.
"So, who are you voting for?" an Obama follower asked me prior to the event. I was holding posters with 12 friends and handing out hundreds of flyers that looked like Obama material until you read them. (PDF).
The posters objected to the tripling of weapons sales to foreign dictators last year, Obama's willingness to cut Social Security and Medicare, the kill list, imprisonment without trial, warrantless spying, corporate trade agreements, the continued so-called "Bush" tax cuts, the war on Afghanistan, the drone wars, the increased military budget, the murder of Tariq Aziz and of Abdulrahman al Awlaki, the weak auto efficiency standards in the news that day, the refusal to prosecute torturers, Obama's sabotaging of agreements to counter global warming, etc.
"So, who are you going to vote for?"
"Well," I said, "you know, you can vote for someone good like Jill Stein or Rocky Anderson, or you can vote for Obama, but today is not election day. If you vote for the lesser evil candidate on election day, that's great. Knock yourself out. But that does not begin to produce an argument for being his apologist and cheerleader throughout the year. If you push the culture and the government in a better direction, both evil candidates will get a little less evil. One guy wants to trash Social Security, and the other guy brags about his willingness to make huge compromises with that agenda -- that is, to partially trash Social Security. So, is your job to demand that not a dime be cut (regardless of how you vote), or is your job to cheer for the partially trash it guy, thereby guaranteeing that he and the other guy both get even worse?"
"Yeah, I see, but I'm trying to understand who you think we should vote for."
"Let me try again. Take Obama's kill list for . . . "
"His what?"
"President Obama keeps a list of the people he wants to kill. It was a frontpage New York Times story three months ago that made a lot of news but was carefully avoided by Democrats even more assiduously than you would have sought it out and trumpeted your outrage were the president a Republican. Anyway, take the kill list, which includes Americans and non-Americans, adults and children. Is it your job to ignore it, to celebrate it, or to protest it? I don't mean your job as a voter, but your job as a citizen. What are you supposed to do in such a case?"
"Well what's the alternative?"
"The alternative to murdering people? Well, I don't know how to put this. The alternative is essentially not murdering people."
"No, what's the alternative to Obama? Isn't the other guy worse?"
"Let me try again. You'll grant me that women didn't vote themselves the right to vote. Will you go along with that? They didn't get the right to vote by voting for it?"
"And the civil rights movement didn't end the sit ins and marches and endorse Democrats and pack events like this one to cheer loudly? That wouldn't have worked as well and wouldn't have been required in order for those activists to be serious activists, right? We don't accuse Martin Luther King of not being a serious activist because he didn't endorse candidates, right? And if you'd asked him what the alternative was to your candidate, would you be shocked if he had replied that the alternative was educating, organizing, mobilizing, and engaging in nonviolent resistance to evil?"
"So, you're not going to vote for anybody?"
"I'm not sure I'm being very clear here. 70% of the country wants the war in Afghanistan ended. Neither candidate is willing to end it. Obama pretends he's ending it. Romney doesn't mention it. Should 70% of the country keep quiet while large numbers of people are killed? Or should we approach both branches of our government, the two parties, with our just and moral demand until we're satisfied -- regardless of who we're going to vote for?"
"Well, you can have your opinion about Afghanistan, but that's no reason to character assassinate the President."
"Seventy percent of the country is character assassinating the president by wanting to get out of Afghanistan? Or only if you mention it out loud? How do you character assassinate someone? Did you catch the part where I pointed out that Obama actually assassinates people?"
Three of us went into the event. I had tickets, which were free and which the campaign could barely give away, while back in 2007 Obama had sold out the same venue. We didn't go in so as to spend hours in the hot sun just to hear an Obama speech like the one he'd given the day before in another town which we could have watched on Youtube. Thousands of people did that. We went in to disturb the war.
We wanted to shout. But what could we shout? We were only three. We were not near the front. (I recommend taking 10 to the front of one of these events if you can. You'll own the place.) We would have to be loud and clear. We couldn't mention the kill list which would be like mentioning UFOs to these people. We couldn't mention Social Security because they pretend Obama's not threatening it. We couldn't mention peace because people would think it was a pro-Obama chant. We decided to say this: Get out of Afghanistan! End the sanctions on Iran!
Here's how the Washington Post's blog reported on that:
"Protesters drown out Obama
"Posted by Amy Gardner on August 29, 2012 at 3:58 pm
"CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — An outdoor political rally erupted into a moment of chaos as protesters drowned out President Obama's speech at a downtown amphitheater here — and then the rest of the crowd drowned out the protesters. It was unclear what the protesters were saying, but several members of the crowd said a few minutes later that they heard 'Get out of Afghanistan!' The shouts prompted a flurry of Secret Service activity, and they also prompted an enthusiastic crowd of more than 7,000 to shut down the protesters with two cacophonous chants: 'Four more years!' and 'O-ba-ma!' Obama couldn't continue for a long moment, but when the noise finally died down, he said: 'I couldn't hear what those young people had to say, but that's good that they got involved.' To the rest of the crowd, he said: 'Don't just chant! Vote!'"
Obama was pretending the crowd was all young people. He'd tried to speak at the University of Virginia which had turned him down, but he gave his speech as if he were there. The crowd didn't shout us down till we'd run out of breath. They were not nearly as fast as Republicans are with their "U-S-A! U-S-A!" In fact, they seemed tremendously proud of themselves when they managed to discover that they could yell "O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!" Voting, in the pretense of those in power, constitutes more activism than chanting or any other activity. Don't just hold teach-ins, vote! Don't just occupy the square, vote! Don't just risk your life to expose injustice, vote! If Bradley Manning had just voted, that would have been the last full measure of devotion.
As to the flurry of Secret Service activity, an Obama campaign guy started standing next to us, and a mean possibly drunk guy started shoving and threatening us. After various additional disruptions of the war (not the peace) by us, the Obama guy called the local police over who asked us to leave, and asked for our names, etc., to tell them to the Secret Service. The police had earlier refused numerous requests by the Obama staff and volunteers to evict our poster demonstration. The police had mentioned freedom of speech. The local media, as well as the police, were surprisingly decent. The Obama campaigners, on the other hand, would have exiled us all to Gitmo if they'd been able, and if they weren't suffering under the misconception that it's been closed.

Accomplishment Highlights
President Obama keeps a list of "nominees" for murder and holds meetings on Tuesdays to pick the winners. We can ask him who got the nod yesterday. The list includes adults and children, men and women, boys and girls, Americans and non-Americans. See: New York Times, May 29, 2012.
President Obama has enlarged the U.S. military three years in a row, deployed it to more nations, engaged it in more secret wars, and invented a new form of warfare using drones. The drone wars are killing large numbers of people and creating vastly greater numbers of refugees. Their illegality is not a concern, following Obama's war in Libya conducted despite the opposition of Congress, and the current U.S. role in a civil war in Syria unilaterally announced by the White House. These are on top of a war in Afghanistan that Obama tripled in size and intends to continue for two-and-a-half more years before continuing at an unspecified smaller scale for 10 more years after that, despite 70 percent public opposition now.
In fact, legality has been removed from all discussion, as President Obama has publicly instructed the Attorney General of the United States not to prosecute any members of the Central Intelligence Agency for torture. President Obama, together with Congress, has "legalized" imprisonment without trial for Americans or non-Americans (something Obama's Justice Department is currently struggling to uphold in court), as well as rendition, and torture (now a policy choice rather than a crime).
The Obama administration has engaged in an unprecedented assault on whistleblowers, charging more than all previous administrations combined under the Espionage Act, creating a climate of secrecy and fear, torturing Bradley Manning, and maneuvering in an extensive effort to gain custody of Julian Assange and try or at least punish him for journalism.
This unprecedented militarism was the inevitable result of our failure to hold Bush and Cheney responsible for their crimes. It carries with it the inevitable trade-off on the domestic side. Over half of federal discretionary spending (and rising) now goes to war preparation. Obama's major complaint with the U.S. media is that, "He particularly believes that Democrats do not receive enough credit for their willingness to accept cuts in Medicare and Social Security" (New York Times, Aug. 7, 2012). The concentration of wealth in the hands of the few has advanced faster under Obama than under Bush. Corporate trade agreements have been created at a faster pace. The destruction of the earth's atmosphere has continued at a faster pace.
The Horrible Romney Alternative
OF COURSE you should not vote for Romney. But civil rights were not gained by avoiding the responsibilities of citizenship in order to pretend that every day is election day. Today is not election day. Today is an opportunity to communicate a message to the holder of an office that has been given unprecedented power (again, by allowing Bush to walk free). Women did not vote themselves the right to vote. The labor movement was not built by the current strategy of funding a corporate political party with working people's hard-earned pay. In that moment of voting, vote as you see fit. But censoring your criticism of your government, cheering as a spectator for one half of a corrupt government, treating government of the people as a spectator sport is working against what has always done the good you are intending to do here. We don't need well-meaning props in electoral commercials so much as we need activists, organizers, mobilizers, educators. If we reject any cuts to our Social Security and Medicare, if we insist on an end to all the killing, we will move the culture of the country and with it all the politicians. That's what's worked for centuries. Avoiding ugly facts has never gotten us anywhere.

We Don't Need No Bloody Treaties: Britain Blows a Fuse over Ecuador's Asylum Grant to Wikileaks' Assange
By Dave Lindorff
The concerted and orchestrated campaign to capture Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and ultimately to hand him over to the tender mercies of a kangaroo court in the US, where he would likely be tried for spying and other possibly capital offenses, continues as Britain threatens the Ecuadoran Embassy with a police assault.

America a Democracy? Really?
By Dave Lindorff
This article was originally written forPressTV
We Americans are taught it in school. The propaganda put out by Voice of America repeats the idea ad nauseum around the globe. Politicians refer to it in every campaign speech with the same fervor that they claim to be running for office in response to God's call: America is a model of democracy for the whole world.
But what kind of democracy is it really that we have here?
Pentagon Chief Rallies Arab, Israeli Allies Against Syria, Iran
By Rick Rozoff, Stop NATO
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has begun a five-day, four-nation tour of North Africa and the Middle East to consolidate military ties with traditional allies against the backdrop of mounting Western pressure aimed at the governments of Syria and Iran.
His first two stops are to Tunisia and Egypt, long-standing American military client states and members of NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue partnership program. The next two are to Israel and Jordan, also Mediterranean Dialogue members, the first the main and the second one of the largest recipients of American military aid.
Bernie Sanders Calls Federal Reserve "Socialism for the Rich" After $16 Trillion Secret Bail-Outs, Including Foreign Banks.
Bail-outs Included Foreign Banks
After 89 Democrats in the House voted in a victory for bipartisanship for HR 459 to audit the Federal Reserve, some jaw-dropping numbers are emerging as a result of a partial audit conducted this year. It is no surprise that the news is dropping with a dull thud in the media. That's why you should get your news from the Internet and sites like this.

Guilty Conscience or Cynical Ploy? Architect of Too-Big-to-Fail Banks Says It Was a 'Mistake'
By Dave Lindorff
Imagine for a moment what would happen if former President George W. Bush were to give an interview on television and declare that his invasion of Iraq, and the ensuing nine years of death and mayhem that resulted from that war, had been the wrong thing to do. Imagine if he were to say of that decision, "Mistakes were made."

Are Drones Moral Killing Machines? NY Times National Security Journalist Says Yes
By Dave Lindorff
Are weaponized drone aircraft more moral than the more traditional killing machines used in warfare? In an opinion published in Sunday's New York Times, the paper's national security reporter, Scott Shane, argues that they are.
As Congress pushes cybersecurity law, privacy advocates warn of increased domestic spying
In Washington, both chambers of Congress and multiple federal agencies are pushing for sweeping cybersecurity legislation that would allow more information sharing between corporations and the government. But privacy advocates say the country's intelligence gathering agency, the National Security Administration, already has too much access to US citizens' private data, and has abused its powers by engaging in widespread warrant-less domestic surveillance. On Capitol Hill, FSRN's Alice Ollstein has more.
Probing New Depths of Inanity in the Tea Party Crowd
By Dave Lindorff
Let me preface this column by saying that I don't think all conservatives and right-wingers are stupid. In fact I have some right-leaning friends of a libertarian bent who are really smart, and a lot of fun to argue with. They may have an unquestioning faith, bordering on religious zealotry, in the wonders of the "market," but like Jesuit-trained Catholics defending the existence of God, debating that faith with them can be entertaining and even challenging.
One Nobel Laureate Blasts Another -- And They're Both Americans
By Dave Lindorff
There are two US presidents who have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Now one of those Nobel laureate leaders is accusing the other, though without naming him, of actions that qualify as war crimes and impeachable crimes against the US Constitution.
Nobody Wins: High Court Backs 'Obama/RomneyCare,' Leaves Public on Life-Support
By Dave Lindorff
Looking on the bright side, the Supreme Court has ruled that something that President Obama has done is definitively not unconstitutional.
That's probably the best that can be said of the 5-4 decision by the High Court today in upholding the ironically named Affordable Health Care Act.
Drones of Love
By Gary Lindorff
Let us bomb your neighborhood,
Let us target your neighbor
Out of our love and concern –
Not you, not your children.
Drones of love!
Won't you love us
After the dust settles?
After the evil has been exploded?
After the crater in the market-place
Has been filled in and paved
We will explode our way into your hearts!
We might miss our intended target;
Wimps, Rendell and Ruination
By Linn Washington, Jr.
A new book by former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell is another display of this man's savvy proclivity for self-promotion.
However, irrespective of the monstrous ego of this man known in Philadelphia as "Fast Eddy," Rendell is on target with the alarmingly accurate title of that book: A Nation of Wusses: How America's Leaders Lost the Guts to Make Us Great.
The Vietnam War and the Struggle For Truth
By John Grant
Vietnam, a story of virtually unmitigated disasters that we have inflicted on ourselves and even more on others.

When Hilary Mantel's new book opens, the spark has gone out of Henry the VIII's marriage; second marriage, in fact. Anne Boleyn hasn't given him a son. Now, he finds the sharp remarks she makes that used to charm sometimes come at his expense. His roving eye begins to settle on Jane Seymour, another woman at court. But in Henry's time, a monarch doesn't go to a marriage counselor or divorce lawyer, not when Thomas Cromwell is the king's chief advisor.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has left China after a diplomatic roller coaster of a trip fraught with human drama. Now, this revolved around the fate of Chen Guangcheng, the blind dissident who is still in a Beijing hospital. But last night, China indicated that it would let Mr. Chen apply for permission to study overseas, hinting at a way out of the crisis that had overshadowed the summit Secretary Clinton had gone to China to attend. Our Beijing correspondent Louisa Lim joins us. Louisa, thanks for being with us.

At the end of a recent speech to the Centre for Social Justice, John Cruddas MP made a rightful appeal for extended local democracy, says political theologian Graeme Smith. But he got there by caricaturing John Stuart Mill, mystifying Aristotle and elevating a confused communitarianism over the proper role of a democratic state in embedding social justice. This warmed-over Blue Labourism needs some serious questioning in terms of its historical understanding and political roots, he suggests.
Is the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) correctly named? If social justice means all people or all sections of society being treated fairly and equally, then it's time for a rebrand.
Dear Iain
You once described yourself as "the quiet man". It didn't quite work for you at the time, which is a pity, because quietness implies a capacity for reflection, listening and, in the words of our Quaker 'Advices and Queries', for finding space to "consider it possible you may be mistaken". These are not qualities which are much in evidence among our noisier politicians.

Keeping the cross out of the cabbage patch
Published: Sunday, October 28, 2012
Updated: Sunday, October 28, 2012 23:10
Abortion is arguably the most contentious political topic in this election, and it should be. We as the American people are deciding whether we will or will not allow the artificial termination of pregnancies and as such we should look at all points of view involved, except one: religion.
Religion has no place in the abortion debate because it cannot be reasoned with or persuaded. It is not interested in facts and statistics. Rather, religion is concerned with faith in the words of deities, which by nature cannot be questioned or discussed in a critical light. Religion has no factual basis for its assertions regarding abortion aside from the claim that it "goes against God's will." In the end, religion's dualistic nature simply does not allow for the open and reasoned debate needed to settle the abortion issue.
This is not to say that the religious are not allowed to have an opinion on the topic of abortion; that is a freedom of all Americans. But if we are to decide what women are and are not allowed to do with their bodies, we better have damn good scientific reasons for our decision. The founding fathers created our country with a division between church and state for a reason. Individuals have a right to their own religion, but they do not have a right to impose their religion on others; that is precisely what religious arguments in the abortion debate attempt to do.
If we are to settle the abortion debate, we must look at how we define personhood and whether or not abortion violates the rights of unborn children. We must closely examine claims that abortion is disproportionately used by minorities, resulting in a sort of willing genocide. We must consider the rights of the mother in cases of rape or terminal pregnancies. We must predict possible social consequences of banning abortion, such as the increases in genital mutilation alleyway abortionists might inflict upon scared and desperate women. We must consider preventative measures such as providing better funding to sex education programs and contraceptive disbursement programs at institutions such as Planned Parenthood. All of these factors provide evidence and logical, scientific reasons for supporting or opposing abortion that can help shape our decision. We must look at all of these possible issues in a scientific light because abortion is a grey issue; it is too complex to fit into the narrow, black-and-white dichotomies put forth by religion.
Individuals may oppose abortion because they want to protect the potential lives of unborn children that have basic rights, or they may support abortion because they want to protect rights of women instead of infringing upon them for the sake of a cluster of cells that cannot feel or think. People may put forth these arguments because of personal experience, unbiased statistics, or logical reasoning, but they cannot use religion to support their views if we are to have a just and agreeable resolution to the issue of abortion.

This function makes the provided draw_context active. Calling this function with NULL makes the default draw context active. The default draw context emits draws to graphics drivers via Photon.
A draw context is anything that defines the flow of the draw stream. Print contexts and memory contexts are types of draw contexts — it may help to think of them as specialized subclasses of the draw context.
Contexts that may be set using this function:
- Draw contexts
- There's usually only one basic draw context per application. Draw contexts are used to deliver the draw stream to graphics drivers via Photon.
- Print contexts
- Created via PpCreatePC(). Print contexts are used to produce printed output from Photon applications.
- Memory contexts
- Created via PmMemCreateMC(). Memory contexts are used to draw into memory to build images for manipulation or display.
The old draw context, or NULL if the new context can't be made current (active), in which case errno has specifics of the error.
In the following example, the print context pc is made active by calling PpContinueJob(). PpContinueJob() returns the context that the print context is replacing. The returned context is stored to enable us to restore the context that was active at the time we decided to start printing.
PhDrawContext_t *dc; PpPrintContext_t *pc; PmMemoryContext_t *mc; ... if( ( dc = PpContinueJob( pc ) ) == -1 ) { perror( "unable to activate print context" ); } else{ // do print stuff // Then restore context which was active before we // started printing. This is equivalent to doing // a PpSuspendJob() followed by a PmMemStart(), or // PpContinueJob(), depending on what type of draw // context was active previously. PhDCSetCurrent( dc ); }

UAE mulls reduction in telecoms taxes
UAE will cut Etisalat royalties, but no time frame given; Etisalat key to federal budget: rates seen remaining high; Royalty cut could be precursor to foreign share ownership
May 17, 2011 9:53 by Reuters
The UAE will cut royalty charges or taxes for telecoms firm Etisalat , a top regulatory official said on Monday, that would provide an instant boost to sagging profits at the former monopoly.
No timescale was offered for the reduction by the telecoms regulator but analysts expect some cut on the royalty rate paid on 2011 profits.
"At one time, we will have to reduce Etisalat," said Majed Almesmar, deputy director general of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. "When? That depends on the market share for Etisalat and du."
Etisalat pays half of its profit in royalties or taxes to the UAE government, while domestic rival du paid 15 percent in 2010.
The latter has captured an estimated 40 percent share of the UAE's mobile market since launching services in 2007.
UAE royalty or tax rates are among the highest regionally. Operators such as Qatar Telecom , Omantel , Saudi Telecom Co and Kuwait's Zain paid as much as 20 percent tax or royalties last year, according to their earnings statements.
Nasser Bin Obood, acting chief executive of Etisalat, said royalty rates had been under discussion for some time.
"It adds pressure," Obood added. "However … we are sure that the government and all the stakeholders will come up with a reasonable plan."
Etisalat paid 7.6 billion dirhams ($2 billion) in royalties in 2010, providing more than a sixth of the 43.6 billion federal budget.
"The indications are the royalty question will be resolved by year-end, with operators paying the equivalent of a corporate tax rate of perhaps between 30 to 40 percent," said Irfan Ellam, Al Mal Capital telecoms analyst. "That offers big potential upside in terms of stock value."
Martin Mabbutt, Nomura telecoms analyst, forecast royalties would likely be cut to a probability-weighted 37.5 percent.
"There has been significant pressure on the UAE government to reduce the royalty rate … we eventually see royalties being reduced for both telcos," he wrote in a note to clients.
Etisalat, which is majority-owned by a state fund and operates in 18 countries, pays royalties on its home market profit and consolidated profits from abroad, so is effectively taxed twice.
"I don't think the royalty will be cut to 15 or 20 percent, but there could be alternative solutions such as only taxing home profit," Marise Ananian, telecoms analyst at EFG-Hermes.
"The royalty will have to come down from 50 percent — if it's not this year, it will likely be next."
Some analysts see du's surprisingly low royalty fee for 2010 as a sign the government will also reduce Etisalat's royalty ahead of opening both companies up to limited foreign ownership.
Etisalat has been in talks with the government to place it under commercial law and allow non-local ownership of its shares. Only UAE nationals are presently allowed to own shares.
"Foreign ownership would increase liquidity," added Al Mal's Ellam. "This would also boost valuations, because illiquid stocks have a built-in discount." (By Matt Smith, Editing by Jane Merriman)

Inline Assembly/Examples
What follows is a collection of Inline Assembly functions so common that they should be useful to most OS developers using GCC. Other compilers may have intrinsic alternatives (see references).
Contents |
Memory access
Read a byte (or word or dword) on a given memory location using another segment than the default C data segment. Unfortunately there is no constraint for manipulating segment registers directly, so issuing the 'mov <reg>, <segmentreg>' manually is required.
static inline dword farpeekl( word sel, void * off ) { dword ret; asm( "push %%fs\n\t" "mov %1, %%fs\n\t" "mov %%fs:(%2), %0\n\t" "pop %%fs" : "=r"(ret) : "g"(sel), "r"(off) ); return ret; }
Write a byte (or word or dword) to a segment:offset address too. Note that much like in farpeek, this version of farpoke saves and restore the segment register used for the access.
static inline void farpokeb( word sel, void *off, byte v ) { asm( "push %%fs\n\t" "mov %0, %%fs\n\t" "movb %2, %%fs:(%1)\n\t" "pop %%fs" : : "g"(sel), "r"(off), "r"(v) ); }
I/O access
Sends a byte (or word or dword) on a I/O location. Traditional names are 'outb', 'outw' and 'outl' respectively. The "a" modifier enforces 'val' to be placed in the eax register before the asm command is issued and "Nd" allows for one-byte constant values to be assembled as constants, freeing the edx register for other cases.
static inline void outb( unsigned short port, unsigned char val ) { asm volatile( "outb %0, %1" : : "a"(val), "Nd"(port) ); }
Receives a byte (or word or dword) from an I/O location. Traditional names are 'inb', 'inw' and 'inl' respectively.
static inline unsigned char inb( unsigned short port ) { unsigned char ret; asm volatile( "inb %1, %0" : "=a"(ret) : "Nd"(port) ); return ret; }
Forces the CPU to wait for an I/O operation to complete. only use this when there's nothing like a status register or an IRQ to tell you the info has been received.
static inline void io_wait( void ) { asm volatile( "jmp 1f\n\t" "1:jmp 2f\n\t" "2:" ); }
Alternatively, you may use another I/O cycle on an 'unused' port (which has the nice property of being CPU-speed independent):
static inline void io_wait( void ) { // port 0x80 is used for 'checkpoints' during POST. // The Linux kernel seems to think it is free for use :-/ asm volatile( "outb %%al, $0x80" : : "a"(0) ); }
Returns a 'true' boolean value if irq are enabled for the CPU.
static inline int irqEnabled() { int f; asm volatile ( "pushf\n\t" "popl %0" : "=g"(f) ); return f & ( 1 << 9 ); }
Define a new interrupt table.
static inline void lidt( void * base, unsigned int size ) { unsigned int i[2]; i[0] = size << 16; i[1] = (unsigned int)base; asm( "lidt (%0)" : : "p"(((char *) i)+2) ); }
The 'char* +2' trick avoids you to wonder whether the structure packing/padding will work or not for that weird 6-bytes IDTR stuff.
Alternatively, you can take the more straightforward approach:
static inline void lidt( void * base, unsigned short size ) { struct { unsigned short length; unsigned long base; } __attribute__((__packed__)) IDTR; IDTR.length = size; IDTR.base = (unsigned long)base; asm( "lidt (%0)" : : "p"(&IDTR) ); }
Request for CPU identification. See CPUID for more information.
static inline void cpuid( int code, dword * a, dword * d ) { asm volatile( "cpuid" : "=a"(*a), "=d"(*d) : "0"(code) : "ebx", "ecx"); }
Read the current value of the CPU's time-stamp counter and store into EDX:EAX. The time-stamp counter contains the amount of clock ticks that have elapsed since the last CPU reset. The value is stored in a 64-bit MSR and is incremented after each clock cycle.
static inline void rdtsc( dword * upper, dword * lower ) { asm volatile( "rdtsc" : "=a"(*lower), "=d"(*upper) ); }
This can be used to find out how much time it takes to do certain functions, very useful for testing / benchmarking / etc. Note: This is only an approximation.
Read the value in a control register.
static inline unsigned read_cr0( void ) { unsigned val; asm volatile( "mov %%cr0, %0" : "=r"(val) ); return val; }
Invalidates the TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) for one specific virtual address. The next memory reference for the page will be forced to re-read PDE and PTE from main memory. Must be issued every time you update one of those tables. The 'm' pointer points to a logical address, not a physical or virtual one: an offset for your ds segment. Note '*m' is used, not just 'm': if you use 'm' here, you invalidate the address of the 'm' variable (not what you want!).
static inline void pgFlushOneTlb( void * m ) { asm volatile( "invlpg %0" : // no output : "m"(*m) // : "memory" // clobber memory to avoid optimizer re-ordering access before invlpg, which may cause nasty bug. ); }
Write a 64 bits value to a MSR. The 'A' constraint stands for concatenation of registers EAX and EDX.
__inline__ void wrmsr(uint32_t msr_id, uint64_t msr_value) { __asm__ __volatile__ (" wrmsr" : : "c" (msr_id), "A" (msr_value) ); }
Read a 64 bits value from a MSR. The 'A' constraint stands for concatenation of registers EAX and EDX.
__inline__ uint64_t rdmsr(uint32_t msr_id) { uint64_t msr_value; __asm__ __volatile__ (" rdmsr" : "=A" (msr_value) : "c" (msr_id) ); return msr_value; }

I had a MACS lift with autologous fat grafting 4 days ago. 9/21/2011. This is a face lift with some of my own fat injected into my chin. I just turned 49 and am planning some major life changes. I hope this will give me the confidence I need. I'm hoping that a more youthful appearance will give me an edge in the job market. My face looks lopsided and is still swollen. I do feel better about this after reading some of the experiences of others. I know it's still early.
I am changing my status to a thumbs up. I can see...
- 7 Oct 2011
Great review?
I haven't seen my doctor since the surgery. The day after his nurse cut my bandages off & was incredibly reassuring. I expect to see him when I go back in 2 days. I wasn't told anything about vitamins to take or foods to eat to speed my healing process. The entire staff has been great though. I'm having trouble posting pics. I'll try again later.

Hi Pam, sorry for my slow response. I had my surgery done in office and I was aware of everything going on. If you can afford to have them knock you out, DO IT! It was painful and you can hear everything going on the way I had it done. I am still so swollen, especially aroun my right eye, but I think it is better every day. I think I'm going to be really happy. Let me know if you made a decision and keep me posted! BTW, I love pugs too!

Yesterday, I got a second opinion and he wants to do my facelift completely different than the first doc. He called it a MACS "Todays Face Lift". He cuts at the base of the sideburn and more in the front of the ear and less in the back of the ear and not in the back hairline at all. In doing this, he lifts the face, rather than pulling it back. Is that what you had done? He also does it in the hospital and you stay overnight. Adds about 3,000., but my hubby and parents think it just might be worth it. In about 2 weeks, I'm going for a third opinion and then we will make the decision.
Happy to hear you are able to go back to work so quickly. I love Bostons. Before we got into pugs, I was really considering a boston. Take care, keep healing and keep me posted on your progress! pam

Intel Corp.'s failure to break into the mobile-phone business is due to a lack of prioritization rather than an inability to make and sell the chips, President Renee James said.
Nov. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Patrick Wang, an analyst at Evercore Partners Inc., and Craig Stice, senior principal analyst at IHS iSuppli, talk about Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini's plan to retire. They speak with Bloomberg's Nicole Lapin on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg West." (Source: Bloomberg)
Intel Corp. increased its cash pile by $2 billion last quarter selling the fingernail-sized chips that run the world's personal computers, underscoring the technology industry's ability to wring profit at an unprecedented pace.
While Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s management vacuum is fueling speculation of a takeover, a possible price tag of three times the average premium for semiconductor makers may deter any acquirers.
Brian Krzanich, Intel Corp.'s next chief executive officer, said he's already sold the company's board on a plan to move more quickly into mobile-device chips.
Intel Corp. is girding for a third straight quarter of falling sales, highlighting the chipmaker's struggle to adapt in a world swiftly embracing mobile devices and leaving behind the personal-computer industry it dominates.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. , the second-largest maker of processors for personal computers, rose in New York trading on speculation that the departure of top executives has made it an acquisition target.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is looking for a leader to replace ousted Chief Executive Officer Dirk Meyer who can do a better job combating Intel Corp. and getting chips into new devices.
Intel Corp., the world's largest chipmaker, named Chief Operating Officer Brian Krzanich as chief executive officer, leaning on an insider to accelerate a shift toward mobile devices as the personal-computer age wanes.
Nvidia Corp. shares rose on the Nasdaq Stock Market after the maker of graphics processors reported third-quarter sales and profit that topped analysts' estimates, lifted by demand for chips used by computer gamers and designers.
"He had answers for everything, he was thoughtful, he's been at Intel forever, and he really had an independent view on things."
