MeeGo: open development and upstream involvement

Slight misunderstanding I think. The .deb camp complains against the prohibition of post install scripts that are interactive in rpm, i.e. debconf. But without that iron rule automated updating isn't practical so it is hard to argue for the Debian Way on this one. Packages should be able to install without asking questions and they darned sure should be able to update without them. And since new dependencies tend to spring up in updated packages any update has the potential to install a previously uninstalled package.

And you can do noninteractive installs of deb packages, too, you just have to pass the proper "noninteractive" arguments to it. It's in fact quite practical.

No idea why Debian packagers want to chat so much. It's a bad idea to change the priority level to reduce the chattiness because now you're on a rarely-used code path -- you're going to find problems that not many other people encounter. Tried it. It's not worth the time.
I love that with Ubuntu I'm only occasionally asked about grub conffiles, and with Fedora I'm never bugged at all. I tell the computer to update, go away for 1/2 hour, and it's updated! Every time. Don't underestimate how wonderful this is.
Just my perspective. How nice that there are alternatives to make everyone happy.

(*): ...except for asking what to do about replacing files in you've modified that the package maintainer has also modified...it still asks those one-by-one in the middle of the install. I agree this is a pain in the ass. But you can also disable that, and do like Fedora does and tell it to always replace your configuration files (keeping a backup).
Furthermore, dropping the priority is *not* a terrible idea that never works: all it does is choose the default options.

IIUC, Ubuntu made an effort to cut the number of questions asked by their core packages to zero because it's more user friendly. Not sure if this was actually tracked anywhere but it did seem like Hoary asked fewer stupid questions than Woody.

After a chilly weekend, the first week of fall looks to be sunny and warm
The forecast is a pleasant one. High pressure is the main weather factor over the Great Lakes and it's giving us some nice weather.
For Monday, expect sunny skies all around. The only exception may be the Lake Michigan shoreline with that south wind. Skies there may be a little cloudier. Temperatures will be seasonable in the mid 60s.
Monday night's lows will fall only into the mid 40s, milder near the lakes and coolest inland. That means frost is less likely overnight. Skies will be clear.
Tuesday will see similar weather, perhaps a degree or two warmer. Highs again in the mid to upper 60s under mostly sunny skies. Lows in the 40s.
Wednesday will see more highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s under mostly sunny skies.
Thursday will likely breach the 70 degree mark and things begin to warm up. Skies will again be mostly sunny.
Friday will be the warmest day of the week with highs likely in the 70s, but a cold front sometime Friday or early Saturday will likely bring rain and possibly thunderstorms for the weekend.
Please send us your fall colors pictures and we may show them on the air as Pride of the U.P. photos! For more weather info, follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
Lastly, over the weekend I posted a story about the autumnal equinox and a recap of the summer. In it, I asked commenters to guess when they think we'll have the first snow of the season. Place your guess and we'll see who gets the right date!

Sullivan's Steakhouse - Omaha
Online Reservations
This was a great family experience for my family. The filet mignon steaks were prepared according to how we asked to be done.
Sullivan's steakhouse is the traditional steakhouse experience that you can get at most steakhouses throughout the country. The cowboy prime rib was extremely flavorful and cooked perfectly. There was great attentive service without being overbearing and a traditional steakhouse ambiance with dark furniture and low lighting. Similar to other steakhouses, don't expect a cheap night out.
Nice menu selection but rather pricey since everything is ala carte. Can only afford to dine there if I have a gift card. Steak was excellent.
I have been returning to Sullivan's for many years. The exceptional staff has always been welcoming and efficient. The manager takes time to greet you and you get the feeling of being truly welcomed. The steaks as always are excellent and prepared properly.
Our servers were knowledgable and on top of their game! Food was good, we had a great time celebrating with Sullivan's.
From the moment we walked into the place we were created with a smile. The waitress was fantastic and the food was phenomenal. We had the filet which was bursting with flavor and so tender we could cut it with a fork. It was do e to perfection . The attention to every detail was wonderful. I would recommend Sullivan's to everyone whether you are looming for dark and romantic or in the mood for some wonderful food!
I have eaten a number of business and social dinners and several business lunches at Sullivan's. First of all the décor is truly first class... much like the classic restaurants of Chicago and New York, with lots of dark wood, accent lighting and art deco flourishes. The menu is traditional steak and sea food, well executed and well prepared, with some imaginative treatment of the side dishes and specials. I've always had a great experience and excellent food and service. They also have some beautiful private rooms to handle small and large groups and provide lots of "concierge" type support to help pull off a terrific group function. If you want a classy bar to meet someone for a drink, the bar area is first rate too.
From booking our reservation to paying the bill, our experience was wonderful! We only had one employee that needed to be corrected for his behavior and the management was very prompt in the correction. We recommend Sullivan's to all. Again, hats off to the staff, chef and management.
I made this reservation for my 19 year old son and his girlfriend for their 3rd year dating anniversary. The staff was excellent and really made them comfortable. They answered questions without making them feel silly. I wanted them to see why you work hard in life to be able to enjoy nice restaurants like this!! They came home thrilled...they had their picture taken and received a free dessert as well. I know that this is an evening they will always remember.
A friend recommended Sullivans as a great place to celebrate our anniversary. It was a wonderful experience, and we will return again for another special occasion.
We had the dry aged steaks which were offered as special on the menu - very good steak. The seafood on the main menu is not very extensive - No lobster or Crab available.
The food was outstanding the service was great, however for the price of the meal was outrageous! For a steak and nothing else $35.00 and a baked potato $8.00 when you can buy a 5lb bag for $5.00? I think you should rethink your prices especially for Omaha NE. I would go back if your meal came with steak and two sides for $35.00.
Perfect spot for a bite to eat before Steely Dan at the Orpheum...we love to sit in the bar at one of the tall tables against the wall...greeted warmly by the bartender who quickly took our drink order and returned with our beverages and bar menus for dinner...Haley our server was professional, quick and so friendly...we felt like she really cared that we were there!...spinach salads, cheesesteak egg rolls, crab cake and calamari for us to share...all very good!...we have enjoyed dinner in the main dining room and the bar...we like the bar...great people!...perfect lounge live music...and delicious food and drink....we couldn't have asked for a better pre-concert experience!...thank you (as always) Sullivan's and Open Table!!!
Had a business meeting and met outside for lunch. Always have great food, the steak salad was great! Service was not as good as it usually is, but that is probably because we were eating outside instead of inside.
It was our first experience at Sullivans. Our waitress took very good care of us and even showed us the wine cellar. Their signature drink, which was a martini, vodka infused with fresh pineapple for 2 weeks, was amazing! Both of our dinners were amazing and as much as we wanted dessert we did not have room.
I would recommend this place to anyone. The food was excellent. Recommend the gorgonzola garlic butter sauce on your steak! Let them know it was our anniversary and they provided us with a picture of our night together as well as providing excellent service to make our night special. Thank you Sullivans Steakhouse!
Sullivan's is expensive, but well worth it for a special occasion.
This is one of the very best Omaha Steakhouse. The steak and lamb along with the salad and vegetables were excellent. We did not try the appetizers or dessert, but the selections looked really good. The wine list was excellent both for selection and value. The service was prompt and friendly and simply the best it could be. This is definitely a 5 star restaurant for food, ambience, and service.
we love "Sullivan"s". . .elegant old world ambience, delicious food, terrific service and generous sized cocktails. . .we ate the bone-in dry aged ribeye; it was the best steak ever. . .great jazz in the bar. . .
Sullivan's was an amazing place to take my fiance for her 27th Birthday. The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive and did a great job. What a neat experience.
Food and service was outstanding. Wine knowledge was unbelievable. Frank Family wine the cab is the best wine we have ever had.
Had a really wonderful dining experience, food was great! Would definitely recommend for a night out.
When my client suggested Sullivan's in Omaha, I was initially disappointed as I wanted to go to a city specific steak house in Omaha = Steak country. While Sullivan's has a great name, they have multiple units like Morton's and I can go to one in other markets as well. This said was thrilled by the entire experience and had one of my top 5 steaks ever! Sullivan's Omaha Rocked, I will be taking clients there again and again.
Our server made our meal. The steaks didn't live up to the Omaha Steak reputation but in either case we had a great time there.
This restaurant is a great place for a date, overall the food was exceptional and the service was perfect. I love coming to Sullivan's for any special occasion because I know the best way to celebrate is over great food.
Service is outstanding and the steaks are phenomenal.. But, pricey
Top notch service! Caring and attentive team! Ask for Mel!!
We went here for my birthday intending for it to be something special and that is what we got. We were both very satisfied with our food and experience. Only complaint if any was that the calamari I ordered was very chewy, but the waitress swiftly took it away and offered to replace it with no fuss. We loved the Philly Cheese steak Egg Rolls and the Salmon as always is flaky and flavorful. Probably one of the most enjoyable meals I have had in Omaha and I will definitely return. Make sure if you go that you inform them if you are on a timeline, otherwise sit back relax and enjoy your evening.
We have dined at Sullivans in Omaha numerous times and many times for our special occassions. We have yet to be disappointed in food, service, ambience. We have dined when the restaurant has been very busy to other times that were not so busy. Regardless our service from the time we use valet to the time we get our check we have always been treated as if we were only guests at that moment. Waiters are all knowledgeable and always accomodating for special requests. Class place.
We met friends for dinner before going to the theater. Waiter did a nice job making sure our meal was nicely paced and we were able to leave in plenty of time for our show without feeling rushed. A little pricey, but the prix fixe menu is a good deal. Food overall was quite good and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the balsamic chicken which wasn't as "balsamicy" as I would have liked. Also had rosemary which is not a favorite spice of mine. Chicken was well prepared, so just a personal preference. Caramelized cauliflower as a side was only ok. Sounded better on paper than it actually tasted. Wouldn't order it the next time. The spinach side dish is very good. Everyone else had steaks which were well prepared and enjoyed!
I have found Sullivan's to be and impressive dining destination. I have taken my wife out to dinner for special occasions and I have entertained business associates at Sullivan's. The appearance and behavior of the staff is exemplary. They all care about your dining experience and work to provide the best service. The food is well above average and you will not find a better steak in Omaha. Thank you Sullivan's for helping me impress the one I love and my business associates.
Great, quality food where everyone will be happy they came to eat.
Always enjoyable every time we come to Sullivan's. We live in Lincoln and LOVE having dinner at Sullivans when we have a special occasion to celebrate. Food, service, atmosphere, cocktails, dessert...everything is great! Can't wait to come back for another great dining experience!
My date and I had an unbelievable experience. Service was top notch, food was the best I have had in Omaha and teh ambience as better than expected. I will say that our server made the evening for us. She did an outstanding job of explaining and serving us. I made a selection for a shrimp cocktail but my date wanted breaded and cooked. She made this happen without being asked. Also, my date had never had a bone in fillet before, so the server brought an uncooked one out to us for her to see. She ended up ordering that and loved it. Our server really made our meal and evening so enjoyable.
As always, it has been my experience tha for all special occasions or just a gel rear lunch, you can" go wrong by choosing this restaurant.
The dry-aged cowboy rib eye was simply the best steak I've had in a restaurant. Excellent flavor, and cooked to perfection. Cheese steak eggrolls were a wonderful and zesty appetizer.
Their lobster bisque soup and wedge salad is outstanding! Great steaks and seafood too!
Usually eat here a couple times a year & it never fails to be wonderful Service is always spot on, food is exceptional. A truly fine dining experience, I recommend ti to anyone coming to Omaha & wants a great meal & service.
Well we enjoyed our night and the food was good. But our only complaint is that our conversation was getting interrupted way too much with the server checking up on us which seemed like every 5 min and the constant water refills:( Other than that we would come back again just hope the next time we could have a more intimate dinner with good conversation.
We took a large group here for a business lunch and it was very nice. It has the right atmosphere to show customers a good time. It's a little on the pricey side but the food is worth it. The only negative I can say for it is that they charge almost $3 for a fountain drink which is just plain gouging. Otherwise great and we will be back.
If your looking for an excellent quality and flavor of your food, definitely check this place out. Presentation was outstanding.
We were looking to go to a good steakhouse and this came up on the list. We are pleasantly surprised to find out not only were the steaks delicious but also the seafood and desserts. Prices are on the high side for the steaks we received comparable to other restaurants we visited. The service was outstanding!!
Food was great, service was good until the end. We waited around 20 minutes for our desert. Our waitress spent too much time with her large table that came in towards the end of our dinning experience. It was nice to get the desert for free due to a birthday but had to wait to long. The waitress knew we had to be out to get to a broadway performance. She also had trouble breaking our tab into two bills which we told her we wanted separate checks. Food was wonderful though.
We went for a business lunch and it was just the right choice. The warm atmosphere, speedy, without being rushed, service and excellent food all combined to make it an occasion rather than just a meeting. The shrimp and lobster bisque was perfect on a cold afternoon, not overly seasoned, but rich and satisfying. The burger was sizable (we got it without the bun), done to perfection and tasty. The sweet potato fries weren't greasy, had a good crunch and added a nice touch to the dish. We were able to conduct business without shouting to be heard and all remarked about how enjoyable the appointment was. We'd go back and recommend it.
Took my wife to this restaurant for her birthday. Our server Ricardo did a great job to help make it a great night! Excellent food.
Food was fantastic, although one of our party ordered her steak cooked Medium and it arrived almost Rare. That shouldn't happen at a "steak" house. Everything else was superb.
My wife and I ate at Sullivan's and had a wonderful meal and a great time. We knew that it would be fairly expensive going in but just be prepared to spend $100-125 for two people but with that being said the food is great! Service is great also!
Sullivan's steak was wonderful. The accompanying sides were well prepared with enough to serve at least two. Wait staff was very accommodating.
Sullivan's never disappoints. The food is great and the service just right. A great place for lunch or dinner.
Sullivan's is always great. It is expensive but the food is always top notch

-- -- and Egypt is it as -- his critics say an outright power grab by president -- in a return to the days of dictatorship.
We'll talk but it sure looks like that and that the problem that I think the western world is going to be confronted.
Bought with his defected -- is going to do everything he possibly can to consolidate his power.
Not only -- his Islamic power base but also by neutralizing the armed forces.
There's very little what you hear from any of the service chiefs in Egypt and it seems as if he is either call -- them -- -- somehow bought their acquiescence.
Right in this process the constitutional convention that Steve mentioned.
It is not a really convention it's just a basically a constitutional -- -- And that is going to create some real problems in terms of more -- future legitimacy.
As a political leader in Egypt.
Didn't do you see the -- the protests that we've seen on the street.
-- -- -- As have -- longevity.
Do you think that they will be a real.
-- to president -- or is this an outpouring of manga that he will be able to keep a lid on and continue.
This power grab.
It all depends on what -- you on forces decides to do.
The armed forces the intelligence services and -- the police forces.
Whole key to this so if the president -- -- has actually bought their allegiance.
Then it will be much easier for him to maintain power however.
If -- -- cracks in that allegiance from the military or from the police were from the intelligence services.
Then is there is a chance that this popular uprising will truly.
Become -- popular uprising and will be a something that might -- assume his regime so there's a lot of danger in this for president Morsi.
But there's also -- danger -- -- -- opposition forces as well.
I do I won the colonel.
How do you see this play having played -- in president -- mind we saw him being.
Lauded by the US and all -- Put his role in bringing about a cease fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
And then just days off to that we've got this announcement of his.
New powers do you believe that he.
Have this in mind all along that if I do this for -- the cease fire process.
Then I'll have some political capital I can spend and I can seize these powers and the US and others will be able to criticize me or do you think he did he played his spot in the cease fire.
And then suddenly thought hey this will be a good time to make a power -- Well I'm sure he has his moments of opportunism but the speed with which he did this.
It indicates to me that he really had planned this all along he was looking for some vehicle or some situation that would enable him to.
Assume it nearly total power forward the Muslim Brotherhood and for himself as the president.
It is somewhat surprising for outside observers to.
To see this because they certainly did not think he would do this myself included.
But to win it today and it came to the actual timetable that he was using.
He was flexible enough to implement this with lightning speed and -- you have to give him -- at least from a political standpoint a lot of credit.
Or his perhaps Machiavellian instincts in making this work.
On the other hand you look at all the different -- different factors involved with this and I think the opportunistic aspect.
Was one in which she began to realize that once he received his praise from the United States in particular.
He could use that to his advantage and -- somewhat neutralizes the Egyptian opposition to the time was opportune.
But the planning was in place for a long long time.
That -- under -- President Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt -- all that any old the are wrong as he perpetrated.
On his own people it -- a cornerstone of stability.
In the Middle East because of the peace accords between Egypt.
And Israel.
How worried should we be Imus should we be worried at all in fact that president -- is seeking similar sort of dictatorial powers.
But he is a member.
Of the Muslim Brotherhood he has proven himself to be -- willing participant in the in the -- for.
Process say in terms of Israel and Hamas.
Recently so should we view him as somebody we can look -- or should we view him as a danger.
To US interest at this point.
I think we have to be very careful -- with him and how he's planning to do things -- particularly interest me is his relationship with Iran.
The fact that Iranian ships have been allowed to transit the Suez Canal for example.
And that is something that President Mubarak and before him president Sadat.
Allowed you through Suez Canal that didn't allow that kind of transit and when you look at how.
They are working.
This particular issue with the Egyptian relationship in the Middle East with other players in the Middle East.
That's going to be something that we have to keep very very close tabs on.
I think there are potentials.
In terms of the peace process with president -- But I also believe that he has his own agenda and it may not always aligned with the the west and it may not always -- with other players like -- so he's I think carving out an independent player role for himself.
But it may -- times -- antithetical to US interests.
-- let's turn to the -- hair at the United Nations that later.
This off to -- -- the recognition effectively of a Palestinian state.
I -- view of this the Palestinian view that this is a this is morally politically overdo it will help the peace process all the Israeli view that this will hinder rather than not help matters on that school.
Well I think in this case you have to look at perception is being reality and from a Palestinian.
Standpoint when you see how the Palestinians have work to -- -- the goal of achieving statehood for a long long time for the Palestinian entities.
-- for them this is a key and critical factor.
For the Israelis as you pointed out they see this as being little -- a much more than a symbolic gesture.
-- guy you think you admit real life you know -- diplomacy has done its thing in the vote is taking.
Taken place at the UN.
I would say that the Palestinians will come out ahead in terms of -- gaining something on the international political stage.
And when they gain something of this magnitude on the international political stage that increases the prestige.
All of the Palestinian entity.
It also allows them to act more like a nation state to at least diplomatically.
Internally though there are some significant divisions among the Palestinians -- obviously Hamas being in charge of -- and then.
You have the other elements of Fatah in the in the West Bank.
Bill was become 82 elements that are somewhat antithetical to each other and you could see -- probable erosion of Palestinian unity.
Even further than currently exists so it may not help them very much but in the short run.
-- the diplomatic aspect of this for the Palestinians is going to be a positive one from their point of view and also from the general Arab diplomatic point of view.
The Israelis we'll see this as a setback.
But I think they should realize that this you know because of its symbolic nature.
Just more to assuage Palestinian concerns.
Than it does to affect the interest of the Jewish state.
Your -- -- kernel as though you might have some sympathy for the argument.
That this strengthens the more moderate side.
In Palestinian politics aside represented by a President Mahmoud Abbas against the -- militant side represented by Hamas.
Yes because if -- -- is able to.
Work this -- -- through the UN it gives him further legitimacy and often acts that happen outside of a country.
-- outside of a state like like the Palestinian state.
I -- becomes something that can be played internally and because of that.
It it gives him a potential to strengthen his hand and a very necessary aspect in his efforts.
To control what happens with the rest of the Palestinian entity you what happens with Hamas.
So that becomes very important for a bus and I think it would be in Israel's interest.
To let it happen in this way.
Because it will it be strengthened Abbas hand -- will be better to deal with him.
They would be to deal with Hamas.
All right we've moved north from Egypt to Israel let's keep going all night hysteria.
There appears to be a significant.
Battle taking shape in the Syrian capital Damascus.
I'm now colonel the -- -- we understand it guys close certainly.
A lot of flights have been canceled -- -- -- flight into Damascus we heard was canceled today because of the fighting are run in the apple.
I spoke to -- some Middle East -- experts.
Who believed that this may be the beginning.
Of the big one the big -- But control it may be the beginning of the end not to say that the end will come quickly by any means what -- -- view of what is going on in Damascus now.
-- once you have something like the airport being controlled by rebel entities or at least being in play for control.
That becomes a huge huge deal and there is -- great potential.
That say you know as other experts have said that this could actually happen.
Where if they control the airports -- the rebel forces control the airport especially the main international airport.
-- they've also taken over control of helicopter bases other air bases and army bases throughout the country.
This then it serves to see value be more or less -- Anaconda like grip against the regime of Bashar Al Assad.
Now -- to say that that -- who will be no holding all the time but what will happen to be in this way if the rebels are continually successful.
They will basically starve.
The Assad regime of the oxygen it needs to survive -- that oxygen comes in the form of aid from Iran.
Russia and to a lesser extent China so if they -- if they -- -- the rebels are able to star of that aid.
All out of the is -- the lifeblood of of the Assad regime.
Then you have a situation where.
I have the Asad regime.
Will possibly fall.
You know we've been you know as soon as a few weeks -- longer term could be of course several months.
It all depends on -- the back and forth and how many others defect.
Within the security forces can still stay loyal to Assad and when something like an airport is is taken over.
Then you have a totally different situation and I think -- also see an increase of defections so this could accelerate the fall of the Assad regime.
-- -- one of Baghdad beat the a question of the arming of any of the Syrian rebels -- it.
-- -- is being located a couple of newspaper articles recently which usually means it's been leaked to the sort of trial believe -- by.
That we might be willing -- to consider.
All means certain groups Ollie just -- trouble for the future as we have -- in so many places it seems around the world if we do that or is it now necessary.
For us to give the rebels certain all of them more help than we have been.
Well I think we're a bit -- didn't Jonathan in terms of actually helping the rebels at this point.
Not that we shouldn't do it if we can find the right ones the problem that we have is that this could be a replay of what happened in Afghanistan we were supporting.
The told Juan in similar elements that we're going against the old Soviet Union.
Is you may recall there were a lot of stinger missiles that all the sudden mysteriously appeared and told -- -- hands tied during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
And in this particular case.
The same things seems to be happening that stinger missiles probably supplied through culture and Saudi Arabia and other nations that are.
They're supportive of the rebels are being used by the rebel forces.
I had to go after Syria helicopters Syrian aircraft industry government helicopters -- government aircraft.
And -- the dad is of course it accelerating the success of the rebels are having.
But by the same token.
These weapons are falling into the hands of rebel groups that are more likely to be a line -- we've all tied and Muslim Brotherhood type elements.
Than they are to be aligned with secular elements.
And that is that is the big danger so in one way we want to.
Accelerate the demise of the Assad regime because it's an -- ally.
It is a major player in in the Middle East for the Iranians -- for the Russians.
But by the other token on the other hand.
We're looking at a situation where there are going to be so many players out there that we risk the disintegration of the Syrian state.

After wait, Rubby De La Rosa ready - 108 Comments
Pumped to pitch
Rubby De La Rosa had survived the long, sweaty days in the weight room, to say nothing of the restless nights spent wondering when his elbow would feel normal. Now, though, the hard part was over. After a yearlong recovery, he was ready to return to the majors.
And then, the Los Angeles Dodgers said he couldn't.
" He looks good"... Great! He won the beauty contest. Can he actually pitch or is this more smoke and mirrors from The Yawkey Way Hype Company?
Rubby may be the reason the RS feel they have enough pitching depth. He's only 23, has great stuff and like most young pitchers with a lot of movement on their pitches, needs to refine his control. We'll see..........Peyton Manning - 12 post season appearances, 8 one and dones. 9-11 post season record. Altho yesterday's loss is probably more on those DB's than Manning. Hope the Pat's DB's were watching.
Morn Boblit: That's what I've been saying, Sox are not as thin at SP as everyone believes, including you, due to the kids in waiting. Rubby & Webster w/b deadline call ups. You never did answer my question from yesterday: do RS acquire a SP to compete for a rotation spot or do they go after a pitcher to insert in the rotation? If the latter, who is knocked out of the rotation?
Morning Greek......I didn't say the RS wasn't thin. All I said was that Rubby may be their depth or 6th starter. Of course he might even be better than that. As for the prospects, if any of them help this season, great, but I'm sure not counting on it......As to your question (sorry I didn't see it, you know I never run from a question no matter how stupid my answer might be), I think the RS want a rotation guy like a Garza (I'm just using him as an example because he's almost certain to be traded), but they are not (it seems clear) going to give up a top prospect for one........... The more time that goes by, the more it seems they are more comfortable than most of us with their back -end guys - Doubront, Lackey and Rubby and of course that Lester will bounce back........Let's be honest, they know more about these guys than we do, but in reality until they get out there and pitch, it's all guess work.......But they are not going to get a Garza type SPer without giving up a fairly high level prospect.
Should read - I didn't say the RS SP wasn't thin. Sorry
nice puff piece, these writers have been waxing on these kids all week, good for them and the RS, it's what they're supposed to do, but how can anybody tell how good a kid is pitching when he's tossing in a bubble with no hitters in the box?... movement is a great start, now paint the corners, change speeds, and have enough pitches to keep MLB hitters off your fastball... Watching Pedro and being inspired by him has to be 98 percent of the kids in the D.R. for God sake..... I'm not sure how Boston can think they have enough pitching depth Bob, nobody ever thinks that, and when your top two guys had down years and your hoping for a bounce back, your kid Lefty is only in his 2nd season, your number 4 is Dempster, and your number 5 is Lackey coming off Tommy John that's a long way from being comfortable IMO.... The RS like a lot of teams didn't like the price tag on starters, the years attached, and or giving up a pick for any FA that's worth kicking the tires... they didn't want to give up the farm in a trade, so like any good publicist they went to plan B, hype the kids.....NY put all their eggs in Banuelos and Pineda's basket,boy did those plans get scrambled
I'll know how good he is when there are guys on 2nd and 3rd, one out and the Number 3 hitter is coming up....That is when the rubber meets the road.
On Napoli.........Here is what I'd guess is going on. The RS want a one year deal with a 2nd year that kicks in based on GP, PA and offensive milestones....... Napoli is ok with the GP and PA (he really has no choice there), but doesn't want the production criteria in the contract. The RS don't want to be on the hook for a 2nd year at big $$$ if Napoli's bat is a disappointment.........And that I believe is where the haggling is.
act2... If your getting Garza for a lower level prospect he's coming to Boston with a red flag in tow.. I didn't realize Weiters was a Boras guy, he'll be an ex Oriole in a few years at 28/29 yr's old maybe by then Boras will have had a lobotomy....
So Delarosa is the new Drysdale? Didn't we go thru this with Stoly Pimental? Just some fodder to read over a sunday mornings coffee. Where's Windy.....I'd rater read his breakfast......

There was a story recently about an Ohio woman who got pulled over a DUI on her way to another DUI hearing. Of course, it's a story that gets much ridicule and from a standpoint it is pretty ridiculous.
However, when I hear of stories like this, I can't help but think about how sad it is. This woman must have a severe drug or alcohol problem and it seems like she needs to get some serious help.
Even though her arrest has been reported by media outlets, she isn't the only one struggling with alcohol or drug abuse. For online sobriety resources, here are some helpful suggestions on where to start. If you're interested in using an ignition interlock to assist with your alcohol issues, make an appointment to get one installed today!

maybe you should read the full story on fermi and kepler and previous nvidia gaming cards generations
Elaborate. You make no sense. Fermi is both a compute and gaming chip and so is Kepler, GK110. There is no compute specific chip. You know that because of the presence of texture units, rops... I've read almost everything available about them, and GCN and previous AMD/Ati chips. So be clear about what you mean because you make zero sense.
Common man, the chips are programmed different, for different tasks. In the past you could have reflash the bios with a similar one from the gaming card, but today is no longer possible because of big hardware differences between those.
Well whatever they are doing their stock is still slowing down since after the announcement of the 670 where its high was 13.2 (13.6 weekend closing high). Its at 12.7/12.8 now. There suppose to be at 16.0^ So if they have something it be a good thing to announce something to slow down the slide especially when they've been rolling out new products and their stock continues to slide.
That is not why that is no longer possible. They use hardware, bios, and driver locks to prevent you from doing it, but the GPU is identical.
Shame about the 384-bit data bus. A 512-bit bus would have optimized* the design and given us an even amount of memory like on the GTX 680. Instead, the memory is gonna be lopsided like on the GTX 580. Crucially, the design ends up delivering less computing power overall when it's not optimized. Oh well, I guess building an optimized design wasn't within their transistor budget. *Optimized is when the design of a base 2 (binary) digital circuit fills out the binary address range ie a power of 2. All the components within the chip should follow the power of 2 to do it properly, of course. For example, that would mean using 16 SMX units with 256 CUDA cores each, etc.
More heat More expensive 512 bit bus really isn't necessary at all, especially with QDR memory. That being said, I want this card. Hopefully it comes as the 7 series and is priced right.
I know the physical practicalities unfortunately limit them and that's why I mentioned the transistor budget. Heat and power are related limitations of course. Believe me, if nvidia could put out a power of 2 design, they would. I wish I could show you what the difference would be, but I have no practical way of demonstrating it. I guess one way to look at it is to check out the really low end cards, as they're quite often optimized in this way, because they don't take a huge transistor budget and not a lot of heat and power, either, so they can afford to do this in a physical product.
It's a shame Intel, AMD nor nV have any idea about chip building. They all make such abominations so they must be clueless.
I love how easy it is for people to hate others, just because they work hard and earn money. Try it sometime, maybe you could get a 690 and not hate on people who do.. I do Autocad, bring on the cores I say..
you are saying this to one of the few members of this site who is turely versed on this subject... perhaps you should read the full story... I definitely desire this card, but will most likely never own it GTX570 can keep me going until the next gen consoles raise the bar I think
imho Nv look to have leaned a little too much in the gfx direction and not enough on compute, given the future were/they are faceing thats probably not wise, this cards compute power is pwned by its render potential and i think it telling that their K10 has two gpu's a clear cost disavantage(in manufacture) when all prior gens started with single gpu compute cards, this chip is simply worse then the last for this purpose, they threw amd and intel a bone in this dept imho.
I don't care about this... Release the kraken already!!.....err, i mean release the god damned GTX 660 Ti variant... $200 and below @Benetanegia: i thought the superb performance per watt of gk104 was because they crippled its compute performance? I would prefer to spend my hard earned money on a GTX680 or a 1150Mhz saphire 7970, you know, all the prettyness in the world (GTX 690), won't save it from microstutter.
quit trolling - I never said anything of the kind. You're obviously clueless about these things. I'm surprised you actually thanked him for that useless post, erocker.
I like the who fact that people are googling the $4,000+ varient of this card when even their SLI system isnt worth that much. Maybe wait until there is solid evidence of when Nvidia will even bother to turn this thing into a GeForce variant and how it will castrate it. Obviously it wasnt possible hence they made GK104 and J H-H said if it was feasable to do he would do it but as it is now its not as he mention to investors.
he's just having a crack, you know, taking the piss. I lol'd I very much doubt he meant it in a serious way
Hmmm... doesn't look it to me. I'll let him explain that to me. Anyway, never mind, it's not worth arguing about any further, especially if someone's being a plonker, lol. Thing is, I did actually learn the basics of designing integrated digital circuits at uni many moons ago and they tought me that building them out to the full power of 2 always maximises the design and they explained exactly why. This principle remains true regardless of what process technology is used or how fancy and complicated the design is. Unfortunately, the chip literally grows exponentially in size as you do this and the semiconductor companies like nvidia, amd and Intel know this all too well, so in a real-world device, one is always limited by things such as transistor budget, physical size, reducing clock speed (fan-out/fan-in) limitations) power and heat etc. Hence, you get these odd, lopsided designs. The 384-bit bus is just one manifestation of this necessary compromise. It's just a shame to see it, which was my point in my original post on this thread. It's hard for me to explain why in words here the exact reasons why building an IC out to the power of 2 is optimal (and perhaps someone else can do it better) which is why I advised erocker to consider the small, low end graphics cards as an explanation because for those, the physical budget is there to build them out to the full power of 2.
As per my last post in the lat thread that disappeared........not that this is going to be a failure. But a overclocked 670 with 192 less cuda cores and 4% faster base clock rate is only 1% faster than a stock 680. Do the math, frequency counts more with this than cluster counts, they went the way they did to attain such great clocks to meet their performance needs. I see this being 70% of the speed of a 690, it just needs to be priced accordingly.
The SMX clusters are twice as wide as on the GK104 among other things, so it looks like the card might eat the GTX 690 for breakfast. This AnandTech article has a nice writeup on it.
ive not read the whole thread so fogive me if i have this completely wrong, but AMD's 7970 uses a 384 bit combination of memory busses ie a iommu bus of 128 bit plus 256bit rop mem bus could the additional 128bits of nvidias bus not be iommu too, given they are adearing to the same pciex3 spec and afaik it calls for virtualized memory support, something they both claim as doable in this gen ,and nvidia anounced VGX which surely needs iommu support??.
These are workstation GPU's (Tesla) that go for upwards of $4000usd, not for the nerds jerking off in basements you described.
I really hope 2 of these cards is SLI will be finally able to run Metro 2033 at 1980x1080 with everything maxed out (DoF & Tessellation ON) and Crysis 1 (16AA and 16AF), also everything set to highest in NV control panel, at stable 100-120 fps. Gtx 680 is a joke, it is slightly better than gtx 580 in these 2 games. Doesnt worth the wait and price for gtx 680.
