BACKGROUND: Brian Kleiner of Virginia Tech works with constructions crews in the television industry, which requires rapid building projects. The science of ergonomics can help reduce the risk of injury on a construction: a back or neck injury sustained while lifting heavy objects, or repetitive stress injuries, the most common of which is carpal tunnel syndrome.
WHAT IS ERGONOMICS? This is a branch of science that strives to design the job to fit the worker, rather than the other way around. In the modern office, it most commonly relates to the physical stresses placed on joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones, even hearing and eyesight, along with other environmental factors that can adversely affect comfort and health. Ergonomics deals with the interaction of technology and work environments with the human body, and involves such things as anatomy, physiology, and psychology in the design of chairs, desks, computer accessories, the design of car controls and instruments ý in short, any kind of product that could help relieve potential repetitive strain from a given job or task.
OY! MY ACHING BACK: The back is made up of four major parts. The spine, nerves, muscles, and the spinal cord. There are thirty-three bones in the spine and thirty-one pairs of nerves branching out from the spinal cord. All of them must work together. If they don't, you could end up with anything from a strain to a ruptured disk, fractured vertebrae, and/or a debilitating disease like arthritis. Back injuries can be painful, disabling, paralyzing, and sometimes even fatal. To help prevent a back injury you should exercise, practice good posture, eat the right foods, and watch your weight. Check with your doctor for muscle strengthening exercises for the back. Other things you can do to prevent back injuries include using work-saving devices -- hand trucks, forklifts, wheelbarrows, and dollies can assist you. When you have an object to lift that is too heavy or bulky get help! Ask a co-worker for their assistance. Remember, two backs are stronger than one.' Check out the object to be lifted. Think about how you are going to grasp the load and make sure there is a clear path of travel so you won't stumble. Before you lift, stand close to the object, bend down at the knees and straddle it, get a good grip, and lift with your legs while keeping your back straight. The secret is to let your legs do the work. Remember: It doesn't have to be a heavy load -- even a small, very light object lifted incorrectly can trigger a back injury.
Inspect electrical and hand tools before use.
When it's heavy get some help. Don't be a hurt hero.
Never smoke around flammables.
Watch out for pinch points and sharp edges. Keep your work area neat and clean.
Avoid horseplay -- someone always gets hurt.
Wear personal protective gear properly and whenever required.
Check the label and read the manufacturer's instructions before use.
Ask questions whenever you're in doubt.

All glory is fleeting.
The republicans need to start taking yoga classes so the ankle grabbing becomes less painful.The only thing you can say about this deal is it could have been worse but that´s not much consolation.This is a world where people trying to stop runaway spending were to blame for the country´s credit rating going down.In a sane world the more debt you have along with declining income reduces your creditworthiness but not according to Obamaphiles.You have to have corporate welfare or the price of X Y and Z will go up. Ha,got you there.
Bammy heads to Bimini.
I detest this despicable, deceitful, duplicitous fraud.In my 62 years of life, I can honestly say there was no one that I detested even half as much.The hatred is so deep that I could not be in the same room with him without attacking him--Secret Service guards, imprisonment be damned.I only hope Reggie transmitted HIV to him.
One of these days, The Won´s smugness and hauteur will come back to bite him.
You won.America lost.
We can only hope that the old "Pride goeth before the FALL..." comes true for the dear Leader of the demonrats and the "msm". What a disgraceful piece of human debris is running the Country. Thanks again, bottom-feeding-obamabots! Well done.
Obama wins and 300 some odd million Americans lose.What´s important anyway?
I try very very hard not to absolutely despise this man but only because it is un-Christian.
More money to fund his private militia in the event he is proven to be an imposter. BTW whatever happened to those billions of hollow point bullets the Gov ordered
GOP stands for its principles and waves the white flag again. The GOP have surrendered more times than can be counted, Democrats joke.
Mooch is probably getting on a plane to bring the girls home for school tomorrow. Meanwhile Bari arrives and goes golfing with his guy pals and enjoys more "fish and poi".Something not right about this so-called First Family.
Since VP Biden did the work, why did Bammy even come back from his vacation? He clearly wasn´t needed. I actually long for Joe to become President, at least we know he is an American. Maybe after the impeachment-----------
I for one really hope they "stopped the clock" on Stinky´s vacation while he was jetting back and forth, filling the stratosphere with CO2.I´d hate to see those many hours charged against his meager 20-days-in-paradise. Anybody know for sure?

I wonder if they are selling t-shirts in Unity, New Hampshire today that say "CLINTON-OBAMA *SOLD OUT* Unity Tour 2008?" Okay, just kidding.
But today's get together in New Hampshire is very important on one level, because it will be the first time that we have really seen the two former rivals together for any period of time since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination.
Really, it's another step in terms of bringing the Democratic Party together for November, as Clinton tries to show that she's not a sore loser.
Remember, Unity is the theme and Obama proved that last night when he ponied up $2,300 of his own money to help Hillary retire her campaign debts.
Wonder if he will mention that in Unity today.
"It's not only well named," Clinton said of the town in New Hampshire at a Washington, D.C. speech, "but in the New Hampshire primary, both of us received exactly 107 votes."
I'm asking you to do everything you can to elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States," Clinton said to loud cheers at a nurses convention in Washington.
It was sort of a warm up for her in public, as she gets ready to stand on stage with the winner.
The plan of course was for Obama to have to suck it up and do this, not Hillary.
Meanwhile, we got two conflicting pieces of poll evidence from recent days, which have definitely witnessed an Obama "Unity" bump in the polls.
A Quinnipiac University poll showed Obama leading McCain in four swing states for November, with leads in Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.
That was in line with other polls in recent days.
Not in line with that, though, was a Survey USA poll that showed McCain up seven points in Missouri, another bellwether state.
Not only is Missouri a "bellwether" but it's a damn good bellwether, as only once in the last 25 Presidential elections has Missouri not gone to the winner.
Back to Hillary.
She will most likely give an inspiring speech and not have any bad moments on the stump with Obama in Unity. She gave a very good speech when she conceded and I wouldn't expect anything less today.
But she will be measured this year by how much work she does for Obama - not behind the scenes - but how much she wants to go out and beat the bushes for the Illinois Senator.
We certainly have had examples in recent memory of vanquished primary candidates who basically do all they can to avoid such duty. That was true of Reagan in 1976 and Kennedy in 1980.
Gary Player once said of Jack Nicklaus, "Everybody talks about what a great winner Jack Nicklaus was; I always tell them what a great loser he was."
Hillary Clinton now has just over four months to prove that to us how good they are at losing too. And the same goes for Bill Clinton, too.

OK, I've read the other threads, anyone can walk on stage...I get it.
I'm curious for feedback from those who have competed. I've never been to a show (I understand I should go to one if I plan to take this to the next level).
As of January 7th:
6' 209 approx 11% bf
NOTE: these pics are from today and I just started back in the gym (day 3 back) after being sick for 7 days no working out, bed rest 2 of those days and I've dropped 3lbs.
Bought a poser a while back to get an idea of how I look in it. That's what all this work is for right?
My story, started 10 years ago, I'm 33 now (just turned), and was 6' (obviously I haven't strunk) 155 and 17% bf.
So I'd like to think I've made major gains.
Hamstrings, I've lost, I can do a 315lb straight leg deadlift 10x and crush my hamstrings in all different ways but they just don't show...any suggestions? I mean it's there, just not as big as I would want.

Spark's mission is to catalyze community action. We live in a world where billions of people cannot meet basic needs despite billions of dollars spent to assist them. An uncomfortably large percentage of this funding goes to foreign 'experts' to assess local needs and design solutions. We are working to shift resources to fuel community-led innovation in a systematic and scalable way. The goal is not new; many foundations aspire to give small grants effectively. We are figuring out how to, and passionately proving it can be done.
Three elements distinguish our approach from other efforts such as microfinance or traditional small grants programs.
1.) Community need: We fund public sector projects for which a loan could not be repaid.
2.) Proactive engagement: Similar to many microfinance efforts, we proactively reach out to communities who lack the means and awareness to seek resources.
3.) Consensus and refinement: We work with local facilitators (often university students or NGO leaders) with deep connections to impoverished communities. With our guidance, the facilitator organizes a series of meetings where the community develops a project. We arrange for comments on each proposal from field advisors. When proposals are well developed we help fund them with a MicroGrant of up to $5000.
Spark offers a dynamic model for community organizing and granting. Our process taps into the knowledge and imagination of communities in need. We work with local facilitators (often university students or NGO leaders) with connections to under-resourced communities. With our guidance, the facilitator organizes a series of meetings where the community develops a project proposal. We arrange for comments on each proposal from field advisers. When proposals are well developed we help fund them with up to $5000. Rather than come up with ideas to help a specific community from the outside, we are developing a streamlined approach for stimulating innovative community-led projects and their realization.
Each project has its own metric for success, timeframe, and sustainability plan. In Mekelle, Ethiopia, for example, the community installed two water points and set up a committee to collect fees for sustaining the taps. They recorded that daily distance walked to water was reduced from 640 to 145 meters. Throughout the process we collect information on community empowerment using surveys, visits, and discussion groups.
Each MicroGrant impacts communities in two ways: it directly alleviates a pressing social problem through the funded project and empowers community members to design and implement their own solutions. Since the community controls planning and spending, the projects are locally appropriate, effective and highly efficient. We guide them through a two-month grant development process, after which the project is implemented.
The first Microgrant project began in August 2009 in Ilolangulu, Tanzania, where 70% of pregnant women deliver at home instead of a clinic. This is a dangerous status quo – without a skilled health worker, any complications will likely lead to the mother or newborn's death. Mama Jesinala and Mary, two health workers at Ilolangulu's clinic, proposed offering free diapers and soap to women who come to their clinic to deliver. With nominal assistance, these two women wrote the first proposal of their lives, refined it, and received four months worth of funding. Deliveries at their clinic increased almost immediately. With the Microgrant beginning in mid-October, Ilolangulu's clinic went from 10 deliveries in September to 35 in December. Just $615 delivered soap and diapers to about 200 pregnant women and gathered evidence to evaluate their strategy.

Among the tours suspended due to the shutdown is that of the U.S. Capitol.
"Due to a lapse in government funding, the Capitol Visitor Center will be closed beginning Oct. 1 and all tours have been suspended," the U.S. Capitol tweeted.
Ironic, no, that tourists won't be able to check out the digs where this all began?
Maybe it's a good thing. Congress' approval rating is a dismal 10 percent. It's probably best that the lawmakers stay out of sight.

Jeff Scrima has returned from Harvard.
For the second time in a year, the Waukesha mayor attended a leadership seminar at the prestigious Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.
Last summer, Scrima attended the three-week Senior Executives in State and Local Government program that was designed to help public officials learn more aboutleadership, negotiations, public/private partnerships, cooperative governance, behavioral decision making and microeconomics.
This year's program was a five-day seminar titled Leadership for the 21st Century: Chaos, Conflict and Courage at the John F. Kennedy School for Executive Education.
According to the online brochure, the program required participants to be actively engaged in the classroom, in small groups and in individual reflection.
Its website says the program "is a provocative seminar that introduces a set of conceptual frameworks and a unique teaching method designed to challenge fundamental assumptions about how you can courageously and effectively exercise leadership and authority during hard times.
"It challenges you to look beyond formulating quick technical solutions that act as band-aids to deeper organizational challenges, and instead asks you to examine yourself and the competing commitments and loyalties in your organization or community."
The program explored a wide range of leadership strategies and ways of exercising leadership.
The program cost $6,900 that covered tuition, housing, curricular materials and most meals. Scrima said $3,677 of that fee was covered from the Mayor's Office Conference and Training Budget. He said he paid for the rest.
Last year's three-week program cost $11,450 and like this year, $3,677 was covered by the Mayor's Office Conference and Training Budget. The rest was covered by Scrima.
"I'm thankful to go out and learn from the best in order to bring new ideas back to Waukesha for our community," Scrima said.

Flex+Strategy / Work +Life Fit Research…Cutting-edge Look at Work Life Flexibility
2011 Work+Life Fit Reality Check Survey
The 2011 Work+Life Fit Reality Check is a telephone survey of a national probability sample of 637 full-time employed adults was sponsored by Work+Life Fit, Inc., and conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on March 3-7, 2011, and has a margin of error of +/- 4 percent. Summary of findings:
- Work+life flexibility is no longer a bright, shiny, novelty item. It's here to stay.
- The work+life flexibility that existed before the downturn survived intact and is growing.
- Since 2006, people are significantly less afraid of the financial impact and the negative perceptions of flexibility, but today too little time and too much work get in the way.
- The majority of respondents concur that without optimal work+life flexibility businesses will suffer particularly in terms of employee health, morale and productivity.

World at Work Journal: CFOs See Business Impacts of Work-Life Flexibility, But They Can't Execute for Strategic Benefit
Article in peer reviewed World at Work Journal (2nd Qtr. 2009) takes the CFO Perspectives on Work-Life Flexibility study to the next level. Conducted in May, 2008 by an independent research firm and co-sponsored by BDO Seidman, LLP, this national telephone survey of a random sample of 100 top CFOs from companies with at least 5,000 employees was the first to study the perceptions of work-life flexibility from the view of financial leadership.

Yet we do we get right to what we begin with the Fox News alert out of upstate New York S authorities pieced together what led to what gunmen opening fire yesterday on Christmas Eve.

Houston Ballet, The Nutcracker, Texas Children's Cancer Center

Sometimes, you just know.
"Taubensee" by Dan Poehlman |
My ten-year-old pup is epileptic. He takes phenobarbital twice a day, every day to lessen the frequency and severity of his seizures, but it's not a magic pill exactly. Sometimes one of those nasty things still breaks through. Taub knows when one is coming on, and he will do his best to find a human to make him feel better.
"Em!" Dan yelled to me from the living room, "I think Taub's having a seizure." I left the skillet in the sink and went to check on Taub. He was a little wobbly on his feet. Taub waited for Dan and I to sit down right next to him, and then he promptly puked on my living room carpet.
Dan got paper towels and I ran to get the SpotBot. When I came back, Dan was scooping chunks into a garbage bag. He looked up at me and made a face. I immediately set the carpet cleaner down.
In the past, my experience with Taubensee's seizures and subsequent puking was to be utterly abandoned—left to console the dog, myself, and then clean up whatever physical damage had been done on my own. Sometimes, I would be reminded that money wasn't meant to be spent on pet health and veterinarians. No moral support from Whatshisface, and certainly never any lifting of the proverbial finger to help a girl out. So it was with great wonder that I watched Dan do the dirty work before saying, "I will never, ever leave you."

By Linda Johnson Dougherty, Chief Curator
With essays by Eleanor Heartney and Bob Trotman
A native of North Carolina, Bob Trotman began his artistic career over 30 years ago as a self-taught furniture maker and then gradually moved away from crafting functional objects to creating sculpture with a human presence.
Trotman's sculptures depict anonymous people who appear to be in various states of change or flux, both physically and emotionally. The figures are simultaneously humorous and disquieting. Dressed in suits and ties or ladylike dresses, they are portrayed upside down with their legs waving in the air, poised on the brink of jumping or leaping, or sinking into the floor as if it were made of quicksand.
Unlike Norman Rockwell, who once said, "I paint life as I would like it to be," Trotman focuses on the darker side of real life—a life filled with uncertainty, ambiguity, precarious footholds, and shifting sands, and he does it with a deeply gratifying sense of irony and humor.
Published to coincide with the exhibition Bob Trotman: Inverted Utopias at the North Carolina Museum of Art, this catalogue features full-page color photographs of Trotman's work as well as essays by the artist, a prominent art critic, and the curator of contemporary art at the NCMA.

My Profile
Brett Dennen
Youthful West Coast singer/songwriter Brett Dennen, with a fragile, high-pitched voice that makes him sound at times like a cross between Tracy Chapman and Neil Young, first drew attention in 2004 with the single "Desert Sunrise." The tune, with its easy groove and soulful phrasing, garnered enough spins on KCRW to warrant the release of his self-titled debut the following year. In 2006, Dennen signed with Dualtone and released So Much More. Hope for the Hopeless followed on the same imprint in 2008. Dennen's fourth studio effort, Loverboy, which featured subtle African rhythms and more of a pop veneer, arrived in April of 2011, followed in 2013 by the sparser acoustic-based Smoke and Mirrors. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

Came across Heaven about a year ago while my friend was in intensive care. We found his music so very soothing. He is an all time favorite of mine now. Thank you for getting us through that tough time.
Found him in 2007 on Pandora, he is still one of my all time favorite artists. I have his lyrics It's Only Rain tattooed on my side in blue rain drops. One day I hope I can see him in concert and have him sign it so I can get that tattooed as well!!!
love Brett's music and in reading up on his bio, he's living with great purpose. Fun to find out one of his fave artistis is Paul Simon- one of the best songwriters of all time!
Heard Brett the first time in 2009. i've been hooked since.
she's mine is my wedding song. unbelievable voice.
beachbabe965 4
With all of the pop and rap these days, It`s soo nice to hear someone with true talent and passion for his music! Congrats Brett!
I love your music! It's so inspiring!!! I first heard Heaven while playing tap joy on my phone. When I heard it, I couldn't stop playing that song... I finally got some of your songs on amazon. Just the other day my Dad and I were in CVS and Comeback Kid came on. My Dad is now a fan!!! I don't know if you read this, but you rock!!!!! I love your art, keep up the awesome!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I remember the exact first time I heard him, he was singing The holidays are here but we are still at war in 2004 over the radio and I didn't know who he was, just that I totally loved him. Forward to 2012, he comes on the radio, it identifies him and I now own every single album he's done and can sing pretty much all his songs. I just love his music sensibility so much! Thank you Brett!!
stacey_strau b
I don't think I've been as profoundly impacted by any other artist. Much Love to you, Brett! Keep the inspiration coming!! The world needs more of you.
i agree
Amazing! The world needs more of this sound! Less bass beats and more harmonic rhythmic instrumental and verbal combinations . Thank you for not sucking and showing real music still exist!
darlenepring l e
As a visual artist, I paint to him and my paintings evolve with a special soulful depth. He is very blessed and his music reaches our inner souls.. ♥

kelly.etling e r
I love Brett Dennen!!
Yep; used to catch him when he played at the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach before he became a smash; one of the few musicians that you can really call a decent human being and a pleasant individual. Glad to see he's hit as big as he has; he deserves every bit of it.
I love Brett's music! He is is so easy to listen to. It always makes me want to dance around. Keep making thoughtful feel-good tunes, Brett!
He can dance so bloody well! Sexiest geek-dork I have ever seen!!
just love Brett..he just came to town and I had the pleasure of being there...awes o m e ! ! great energy...and a wonderful message, my son and grandchildre n got to spend some time with him and I was so jealous...a great evening for all of us

SPANISH EDITION. Blessed with more than 40 years of marriage, Pastor Ford writes to all men--whether single, engaged, or married--who want to make their future or existing marriage as meaningful and satisfying as God intended it to be.
Softcover, Layflat$8.99
A lifelong marriage is rare in our day of fleeting relationships and broken families. But James Ford Jr. shows men that lasting love is possible, by living according to God's Word, and by loving God's way. Drawing from scriptural wisdom, Pastor Ford reflects on how one man--Jacob--loved his woman, and how Jacob's example teaches today's men these must-have romance skills: Meeting your wife's spiritual, emotional, and social needs. Protecting and cherishing your wife, celebrating the God-given differences between you and your wife.

It's true this copy of Vista hp 64 is on It's 7th pc!!!! I've even had to talk to a person once I claimed "my mother board had burned up and since it was no longer for sale i had gotten the next best model under warranty-same brand- They then gave my new# However this can only be done "Running 1 pc with that copy" you cannot have 2 pc's with same copy unles you purchase the Full retail edition.
correction, you cannot legally install an OEM OS on more than 1pc at a time . but as i mentioned my vista install came from an OEM dvd, and 2 other pc's are still running vista from the same DVD.
You are missing something about OS X here. Apple just uses a different naming scheme than most. Point releases are a major release. Snow Leopard will essentially be OS 17. They just choose to keep the OS X name for marketing reasons. Each point release of OS X brings very significant changes to the core and features of the os. It is in fact a new os. It would be like MS calling their OS Windows X and just adding a point after, so Win 7 would be Windows X.7. More clear now? It's nothing more than a different naming scheme. It's only a matter of time before OS X viruses happen, Dippy. Don't get complacent. It plays games in Bootcamp just as well as it would on a dedicated Win PC with the same hardware. Bootcamp is just a non-destructive repartitioning tool, multi-OS bootlaoader, and Windows driver package. When you boot to Windows, it's 100% native. No emulation or anything of the sort. There is still a performance loss in using any VM, regardless of platform.
Upgrade your PC and it comes with an OS also. Don't forget, you can go out and buy a pre-built and it comes with an OS, just like a Mac. Most of us here, choose not to buy pre-builts simply because we want the flexibility of building our own, something that is impossible on the Mac side of things anyway. If you want to focus strickly on the mainstream consumer, then PCs come with OSes just like Macs do. And when you upgrade, you get a new OS also. And it is very true on both sides that you don't have to buy every "update" or whatever you want to call it. I still happily run a laptop with Win2000 on it. The difference is that Win2000 is still recieving at least security updates from Microsoft, while OSX 10.0 recieves no support from Apple, and hasn't for years. Even if you assume people took the free upgrade to 10.1, that version hasn't been supported for years either. And for the most part, support from Apple in the form of security patches(and yes OSX needs security patches) ends very quickly after a new product is released.
Once again, different company, different product audience. Apple meets the needs of its audience quite well IMO. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Samsung no longer supports my model of LCD. Maybe we should all be hating on them too, for killing the 204B. Microsoft supports old software well past its lifetime. This is also why we have 2 version of windows, a 32 and 64 bit. This is also why the transition for Microsoft is so utterly painful. Vista should have been the primary inroads for 64 bit, windows 7 should have been 64 bit only IMO. Help eliminate this rediculus version list, and obscene pricing. but hey, why not add a whole parallel product line to confuse consumers. They already don't know what they're buying anyways.
You can't blame the lack of a 64bit transition entirely on MS. They are fighting an uphill battle against lazy developers, and chip companies still releasing 32bit cpus. They have to follow market demands, and unfortunately, right now, the market still demands 32 bit versions of Windows. Linux is in the same boat, at least as far as needing to support hardware is concerned.
Really we can blame MS, 64 bit can run 32bit so yeah it's Microsofts fault, it would not take long at all to rid our selves of 32bit if MS would just stop makeing 32bit. and yes i agree 7 should only be 64bit
No, 64bit can't run 32bit drivers for example, but even if you don't take software into account, the chip makers are still producing 32bit only chips. A 64bit OS won't even boot on a 32bit chip.
You mis-understood me. I wasn't trying to say that Apple was wrong, or that it was even a bad thing that the older versions of OSX isn't supported. I was just commenting on your claim that you still run 10.0, which is proof that people on Apple's side don't have to upgrade. While it is true that they don't have to upgrade, neither do the people running Windows 95, but if they want continued support they do have to upgrade. And OSX is more expensive in the long run than Windows, assuming that you buy a copy every new release. So you should really get off your OSX-is-cheaper high horse. Window's transition to 64-bit was much nicer than OSX's. With Winodws it was "you got an old app that you need to use, fine we offer 32-bit support for that". With OSX it was "you got an old app that you need to use, too fucking bad". Very true also. While Apple dictates what hardware OSX is run on, Microsoft does not have that luxtury, at least not nearly as much as Apple does.
That's not true at all. 32 bit apps still work. Hell, when they went Intel, the PPC apps still worked (and still do work). PPC is supported until Snow Leopard releases.
And those are generally for products like Netbooks and not new Pc's. As far as for New pc's Name 1 new cpu without x64 architecture (The Atom is not a Pc cpu), x86 programs can easily run under x64 with WOW64, so again why Keep x86 going for Pc's, when older x86 cpu's have already hit their practical limits with there existing x86 Os's. Now when it comes to products like Netbooks MS would do themselves a favor and not offer an OS under the Same name line,such as, instead of W7 32 Starter maybe -Windows GO- for example,But for Pc's it should only be offered at x64. Oh yeah, It's been at least a year since I've seen a x86 Pc product,That's not sold for something like a netbook,It's highly unlikely your going to buy a Pc with Windows 7 and use something that needs x86,and if you do it's time to upgrade anyways!!!!!!!!
Whether you like it or not, Atom qualifies as a new PC part. As does Nano. Atom is very much in demand right now, and therefore, so are 32bit OSes. It wouldn't make sense for MS to abandon 32 bit with Atom's popularity. It's simple economics.
I do not think The Atom or the Nano are Home Pc Cpu's they are for mobile platforms and as such are marketed that way, so i believe it would be in Microsoft's interests not to abandon 32bit Os's but market them for such product's and not Home pc's.Now as far as Home Pc's they should abandon 32bit Os's as it is a total waste For current Home Pc hardware
Then how do explain the mini PCs and All in ones based on Atom? The market is still there, therefore 32bit will still be developed. Not to mention the business side of things. They want to attract major corporations into using a new OS. Very many of these companies may rely on older computer controlled equipment that has no 64bit drivers. If there was no 32 bit version, they would have to spend even more money to upgrade hardware, or at very least commission a team of programmers to write and debug custom drivers. Both adding unwanted expense. You are thinking in far too narrow of a market. If the demand for 32bit wasn't there, MS wouldn't make it. But as it stands, the market still calls for 32bit, whether we like that fact or not.
Yeah exactly, if MS would market W7 32 towards these systems and not towards home Pc's that would be fine by me. Exactly Right! again, We call this progress. Look business's are getting huge Tax write off's to upgrade and I mean huge like 100%, if they spend enough so why offer old crap!! And look at it this way how much longer do you think MS is going to offer 32bit,what like 2 years It's how the economic stimulus plan work's, companies upgrade put us to work and we all progress
Look I'm not saying take XP 32 or Vista 32 off the market I'm just saying leave it at that. Most companies are still running Xp with Office 2003, and when they upgrade they should do so with 64bit OS's, it only makes business sense to do so, unless they are misinformed. As for Netbooks and all in ones I do think MS should make a 32bit OS but not call it W7 as it will not have nearly the same features as W7 That's why I think MS would do best to call it something different. The main rerason I think MS is still offering 32bit is this, BAD PUBLICITY, they cannot afford to have another Vista Blunder, you know cause a lot of people still think Vista sucks when it far exceeds Xp in every way. They just don't need more press on how most Pc's are not compatable, so they will offer 32bit until people get to know W7 as A RELIABLE OS and then will most likely cut 32bit support
Instead, Microsoft milks supporting old, outdated tools and utilities, and CODE, to the point where it hinders a users's experience of the product. instead, Apple forces developers to do what they do best. Fix the broken stuff. God forbid a company force developers to not be lazy with their products Normally they are given quite a lead time with advancing their program, too. Carbon not being supported was known at the start of the Intel transition, and is finally being phased out with Snow Leopard. Hardly Apple's fault, for doing their job of properly progressing their software. Instead, we have Microsoft keeping VB6 alive on life support, because people are too ingrained into ineffecient, and pile of shit code. if Microsoft didn't design these half assed solutions in the first place, they wouldn't be in the upgrade mess that they are now. (Looking at you office 2007, deciding to drop Lotus Notes support. Way to make our life hell.) Since win7 is releasing 32 bit, probably another 5.
You're right, I didn't mean app, I don't know wny I said app, I was talking more hardware. I got so many calls from people wondering why they couldn't get certain hardware to work with their new Mac when it worked fine with their old. Printers were a real nightmare, as it seems printer manufacturers really lag behind on releasing support for 64 bit on both platforms. And the PPC app support has been laughable at best, half the PPC apps never worked, forcing consumers to either wait for an x86 port, or find a different product if one existed. I find it funny how you contradict yourself in the same post just to try and make Microsoft look bad. You bitch about them not dropping support for old code and instead milking it, when in reality they are simply still trying to support as many hardware configurations as possible. This is in fact a good thing, IMO. Then you turn right back around and bash Microsoft for dropping Lotus Notes support...A platform so ancient running on code so old, most of the industry agrees that it should have died ages ago. But instead it hasn't, and has continued to recieve new releases for the sole reason that it continued to have Microsoft Office support... There is no point in arguing about it really though. Apple's transition and Microsoft transition was very different because the two are in different business models. Microsoft has always had to support as many hardware configurations as possible, while Apple doesn't. It was a lot easier for Apple to transition to 64-bit than it was for Microsoft because Microsoft still has to support 32-bit hardware. While Apple can tell anyone not capable of running 64-bit "Fuck off, go buy some new hardware". After all, forcing people to buying new hardware by dropping support for hardware only a few years old is part of Apples business model also.
Lol? Rosetta was an amazing creation. Wolfenstein Enemy territory is still PPC. And guess what? It still plays fine on my C2D. Sure, supporting standards that weren't even good in the first place for 30 years is always a good idea. Go play with your VB6 some more. Yes, because did you even know they dropped Lotus support? It's not advertised. We only found out because we got a support call from our payroll department, crying because excel wasn't working with their setup. Only to find out, we can't upgrade their office, because they dropped 100% Lotus support. Microsoft should leave vista alive for 32 bit, and windows 7 for 64 bit. Everyone's happy. Which is exactly what I proposed earlier. And of course apple can say "fuck off" to people wanting snow leopard that cannot run it on their current hardware. Why? Because all intel macs are 64 bit. If you can't run snow leopard, that means you're running PPC still. Convenient? Or just well played cards?
Yet it fails to support productive apps...:shadedshu Could that statement be anymore trollish flamebait? I would expect a mod to at least attempt to act like one. Are you even capable of having a discussion without posting flamebait statements like these? It seems like every discussion I see you post in, you are trolling and Microsoft bashing. Your a mod, act like it... A normal forum user shouldn't need to tell you these things... At the time VB was developed, there wasn't anything better. Actually, yes I did, because I prefer to educate myself instead of just bashing Microsoft whenever they do anything. And I jumped up and down with joy when I found out. No one should still be using Locus Notes, the program was a POS the day it was released, and it is an even bigger POS today compared to the alternatives. And if you are trying to open Lotus files in Office, you should have converted them to Office files a long time ago...:shadedshu That isn't Microsoft's business model, and would piss off a lot of people with 32-bit hardware, me being one of them. There are still brand new computers being released on the market without 64-bit support, Microsoft would be idiotic to not support these computers with their latest OS. Again, Microsoft doesn't have the luxury that Apple has, they don't control the hardware their OS runs on. They would be bashed beyond belief if they dropped 32-bit support in Win7, look how badly they were bashed when they raised the minimum memory up to 512MB... In fact, if they did drop 32-bit support from Win7, I bet you would be one of the first ones to bash Microsoft for doing it... I find it odd how completely wrong you are here. For someone that loves Apple so much, I would expect you to actually know what you are talking about when it comes to them. Or at least do some research. The first iMacs and Macbooks used the standard Core Duo, with no 64-bit support. According to Apple, Snow Leapard will work with these processors...meaning Apple is still doing exactly what you are bashing Microsoft for, supporting 32-bit and confusing the transition... I'm done arguing, you clearly have little clue as to what you are even saying.
I agree with this explanation, for the most part. Maybe disagree on some of the details, but yeah, most of this can be explained by both Apple and MS operating on completely different business models. MS could never get away with operating like Apple. BTW, in defense of Apple (because your post does come off as a bit anti-Apple) this transition to 64bit really only excludes PPC based Macs. They are well old enough, I would think. So it's not like they are doing something completely horrible. They've been saying that Leopard is the last PPC release since they first went Intel. People have had plenty of warning to get their affairs in order. AS far as MS needing 32bit support, I agree. It still needs to have it, at least right now with 7. Tho I think 7 should be the last. MS's market is much larger. It has to support ALL current x86 and x86-64 hardware. Apple can get away with dropping 32bit support because they're OS is written for very specific hardware, MS doesn't have that luxury. I'm glad they stuck with 32bit on 7. At first I thought it was silly, but then I realized how well 7 performs, and realized it would be great on a netbook, unlike Vista. I also disagree on the PPC support. Trusty me, it is very, VERY good. I still have a G5 PowerMac sitting here to compare to my Core2 iMac. When we got the iMac, almost everything that ran on my G5, still ran on the iMac, including PPC only apps. Adobe, MS Office, Maya, Cubase, Reason, and a bunch of others I can't think of, all worked without a problem. The only exceptions were those that require specific drivers and such. Yeah, they took a little bit of a performance hit, but considering it had to emulate an entirely different architecture, and do it seamlessly, Apple did one hell of a job on it. Even you have to admit it.
Remember these prices are retail. Most of us will be using OEM Additionally Vista SP2 still works fine, and hell, so does XP... nothing wrong with XP except for no dx10 support (which really isn't a big deal...)

But isnt that the purpose of this thread? To promote debate?
I use AMD for the simple fact that I need great performance at low cost, if I could afford P4's, I would run them, simply because I disagree with amd's naming scheme (using a POWER RATING as opposed to the actual clock speed of the chip). If AMD ever released a chip that ran at the speed that matched its name, I would be in heaven!

Amd cpus are maybe technically superior but they lack a decent chipset to pair them with IMHO.
VIA chipsets (drivers) are probably the worlds buggiest POS. They are buggier than any Microsoft products out there. It's a shame that the mojority of AMD motherboards are powered by VIA POS.
