For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
I read a lot of blogs when I am supposed to be working, LOL. I found this article on Peep Game.net. Its long, but read if you have some free time. What type are you?
What's Your Type? Do You Know How Men See You? By Buttafly Jonez
Believe it or not, men categorize women on sight. The way you walk, the way you dress, the way you speak, even the way you wear your hair communicates certain things to men. From his point of view you are a type. The type that you are dictates a man's approach and can determine the way he treats you. When you meet men and have to explain what kind of chick you are and how you want to be treated, you can guarantee you've been "typed." If you find that men approach you but don't stick around after date one or two, you've been "typed." When a guy outright says something like, "Wow! You're really smart" or, "I didn't peg you that way when we met", you've been typed. Being a Type has its advantages and disadvantages. If your "type" is favorable, you can use a man's categorization of you to flip the script and Play him. But if your "type" is unfavorable, you will spend a lot of time proving yourself NOT to be the chick he assumes you are.
Peep Game: From a man's perspective, what are the categories women generally fall into?
•Pretty Girl w/Low Self-Esteem – She's pretty but doesn't know it. Her self-esteem is low. She may have been raised in a strict/religious family that played looks down or some dude in her past has obliterated her self-esteem with violence or mind games.
•Pretty Girl w/High Self-Esteem – She's pretty and she knows it. Her self-esteem is not just high, it's over-the-top. She's used to getting what she wants and she knows how to get it. She's the kind of chick who doesn't respond to men giving her compliments unless it's to say, "I know."
•Easy Pu$$y – She's ready to get down with any man who gives her some attention and she let's that be known by the way she dresses, walks, and talks. She's the chick with the skin-tight pants on and her butt poked out. She's the chick who doesn't just walk past men, she sashays past them. She wants the attention and usually gets it. Although she pulls lots of dudes, they're not the kind that stick around.
•No Brainer – She's not that bright so it's pretty easy to pull the wool over her eyes. She can be naive or genuinely slow. Guys feed her ridiculous lies and she believes everything they say. When people try to school her, she makes excuses for a guy's actions or defends him to the hilt.
•Butta Face – She has a bomb physique but her face is "Eww Wee!" Although she'll never admit it, she knows her body is the key to her success. She loves men who compliment her body and she loves showing off her assets. This is the chick on YouTube dancing and gyrating for everybody to see. She doesn't care if you notice her face as long as you say something nice about her body.
•Ugly Girl w/ High Self-Esteem – She's the cock blocker in every girl group. She's the one dragging her friend away from dudes at the club and the one who seems to dislike every one of her girl's boyfriends. She claims to love herself too much to allow men to mistreat her. Ironically, she's usually the one alone on Friday nights or who is "dating" a man you never see/meet.
•Ugly Girl w/ Low Self-Esteem – She knows she ugly. She has accepted that fact. She's receptive to virtually any man who looks her way. Men scoop "her" when they're looking for fast cash or oral satisfaction. She's the chick other women should watch out for because she is the most likely to accept sexual invitations from your man (or pursue him for that matter).
•The Marrying Kind – She's the kind of chick men run from in their 20′s and then seek out in their 30′s and 40′s. She's usually conservative in her style and reserved. Although she isn't thirsty to get married, she's usually the kind of chick who expects a relationship if she sleeps with you.
•The Whore – She's out there on a limb mentally. Men know she's the kind of chick who's been taught/trained to satisfy her man by any means necessary. She is the kind of woman men use to fulfill their sexual fantasies. Men sleep with her and then recommend her to their friends. She thinks she's the hottest thing going but in essence she's a buss down. Since she usually has a "Get Money" mentality, this chick is a prime target for Pimps and often winds up a casualty of the Game.
•Miss Materialism – She looks good and dresses even better. Everything about a man begins and ends with how much money he has and what kind of car he drives. She'll date anyone as long as his pockets are fat. She's a pro and only celebrities, athletes and real business power players need apply.
How do I know what Type I am? What kind of men approach you? Are they aggressive when they approach or timid? Do most guys try to take you home day one? Do men try to introduce you to their mother shortly after meeting? Are men reluctant to take you out or only offer you the $5 special from the local takeout place? Do men often invite you to important events such as weddings, office parties, family get-together, etc.? Do men seem to plan time with you and schedule you into their calendars? All those are clues that tell you how a man perceives you. The next time you meet a guy, observe his approach and the way he interacts with you. You'll find out what you need to know by doing so. Can I "buck" my type and change the way men see/categorize me? Yes and No! Some things about us are inherent to our nature and thus cannot be changed. But, things like your hairstyle, your clothing style, even the way you walk and speak can be adjusted to reflect more of what you want men to see. Can I have an example? Let's say you are a pretty woman with low self-esteem. You're attracting a lot of men who are looking for a low self-esteem woman to exploit. The kind of guys you really like seem to walk right past you (because they sense your low self-esteem and are repelled by that). Even though your self-esteem is a work in progress and won't change overnight, you can come out of that "Pretty Girl w/ Low Self Esteem" category by doing the following: speak of yourself in a confident way, avoiding taking jabs at yourself or playing who you are and what you do down; don't reference any bad men or relationships you've encountered even if you've been burned in the worst way; dress like you know you are the finest chick out here wearing clothing that may be slightly more revealing or seductive that usual. In essence, you are mimicking the behavior of a confident woman. Although your insides need a little work, nobody but you needs to know that. Until you really get to a place where you love and accept yourself unconditionally, you can fake it. The kindness and generosity of men who perceive you are not only beautiful but confident, will only help you to improve your self-esteem. How can I use "Type" to flip the script on men and Play them? When you appear to be something that you are not, it presents an opportunity (in many instances) to run a little Game of your own. Guys tend to sum women up so quickly and often miss the subtle clues that would show them who a chick really is. If you're "typed" in a certain way, you allow the guy to believe what he wants to believe. Let him talk to you like you're 2. Let him think you need his guidance. Let him think he's smarter than you. While he's Playing his Games and thinking he's getting over, you Play the ultimate Game on him. Get what you want and move on just as he begins to put it all together. And, don't feel bad because he assumed to know you and acted accordingly. While a genuinely interested man will want to get to know who you are, a Player is making a quick guess and then categorizing you accordingly. While he's setting you up for the kill, you shut him down and flip the script on the low. What's your "Type" Butta? I've known my type for years. I've used that knowledge to Peep Game on men and to Play men. If I tell you what my type is, I'd have to kill you. (lol) But if and when you do get a chance to observe me, you'll probably guess my type. So don't be surprised if you see me do something or say something you didn't expect. It's all part of my Game and how I rotate.
Can you give us an example of a celebrity who has used her "Type" to Play men? If you follow urban entertainment and gossip, you know that Amber Rose's Game has been exposed. Her former publicist ran a train all over that chick's strategy and revealed Da Real Amber Rose. Amber knew that she needed to play the dumb, deer in the headlights routine in order to snag Hip Hop superstar Kanye West. She must have Played it to the hilt because Kanye put that girl on the map, something I'm sure he regrets doing now. Amber continued her little ruse publicly after the break-up with Kanye. She had us convinced that she was just a grateful young girl trying to balance the burdens of unexpected fame. Her publicist exposed the truth when he released the intel that Amber plotted on Kanye West from day one. Now that her secret's out of the bag, she better hold onto Wiz Khalifa. Rich suckers don't come along everyday. Now that her cover is blown, her true type has been exposed. Kanye pegged her as a "Pretty Girl w/ Low Self-Esteem" and tried to Play her with Kim Kardashian. What Kanye didn't know was that Amber was actually a "Pro" and should have been avoided at all costs. I'm sure Big Pimpin' JayZ knew that and tried to tell Yeezy but somebody wasn't listening. Bottom Line! Until next time…Don't hate the Player, learn the Game!
I don't know how to type myself because I pull all kinds of guys. I don't accept them all but I'm approached by them all. lol
The last dude I went on a date with took me by his mom's house to pick up his laundry, LOL. I was not impressed! I don't know what type I am.

I sent this to my homegirl. She said that they need more categories. She said I would fall into the undercover category. She said I wear glasses and always have my nose in a book. But I need to be competitive and adventurous. I was like you are so true . The perfect date for me would be dave and busters, sky diving, or gambling. I hate when guys ask me to the movies, LOL. I cannot sit still that long and be quiet.
I so feel you on the perfect date part. Mental twins! :-)

Can we have a "Tomboy who Cleans Up Nice" category???
I have an issue with being the pretty girl with the "i can chill with her like my nigga," attitude.

The CHEMICON ssDNA Apoptosis ELISA Kit is a convenient, sensitive method for early detection of apoptosis. The assay can be performed in two formats:
1. Cells are grown, treated with apoptosis inducing agents, stained and analyzed in the same microtiter plate. This assay is suitable for high throughput screening when induction of apoptosis is used as the endpoint of drug activity.
2. Cell suspensions obtained from cultures or tissues are transferred into a microtiter plate for staining and analysis. For this assay, cells could be fixed with methanol and stored before transfer into plates. Alternatively, fixation could be performed in microtiter plates after transfer of non-fixed cells.
Total assay time is 3-4 hours, which includes fixation and staining. Only one washing step is required.
The ssDNA Apoptosis ELISA is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

I was asked last month if I could help create some promotional videos for US based clothing label No Rival along with UK scratch DJ, DJ Short-E. Obviously I couldn't pass that up, no only would I get to film and edit another project, but it would be getting shown in Las Vegas of all places!
The intention was to have the edits play on the TV at the S.L.A.T.E. exhibition in Vegas over the 17th, 18th and 19th of August, so with the turntables set up and Short-E ready to go, I set up the JVC Everio on the tripod and went handheld with the Canon 550D, alternating between the 70-300mm Tamron and the 50mm Canon prime lens.
It was actually the first time I'd shot anything with multiple cameras and was looking forward to getting stuck in to edit them together. That task itself turned out to be an absolute doddle, and it didn't take long to finish off all 6 of the recordings we did.
Above is the first of the six, and you can find the rest in this album on Vimeo.

Only reason why I put up with Steam's antics (they're frequent and quite horrendous) is because of the deals.
GetGamesGo has all of the Borderlands 2 DLC for half off so if you don't have the season pass now is a good time to pick up the DLC cheap. http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/borderlands-2-mechromancer-pack-dlc http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/borderlands-2-captain-scarlett-dlc http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/borderlands-2-mr-torgues-campaign-of-carnage-dlc

It locks up frequently due to inadequate use of asymetrical multithreading (e.g. activating a product, verifying cache). 2. VoIP volume is inconsistent--easier to just use something like Ventrilo or Team Speak. 3. The download/pause/resume/download all buttons behave eratically at best. 4. No option to limit bandwidth usage. 5. Important things (like verify game cache) are buried in menus. 6. Updates when it wants to, not you. 7. Updates have broken the software on more than one occassion. 8. Their servers are inadequate for user load--often slow/no service during sales. 9. Steamworks doesn't allow games to be Large Address Aware patched without an official patch. 10. Logins take forever and often fail. 11. Offline mode doesn't work without being online first. 12. Installing games to its own directory by default is stupid (they're all supposed to be under Program Files, not Program Files\Steam). 13. I've had more problems (unable to play) with Steam's DRM than any other type of DRM. ...the list goes on.
I agree that most of those are problems. But many of them don't matter because if you were to DL these games, you wouldn't be able to ;limit bandwidth. Many games don't have a repair option, so even having an option to verify game cache (thats not seriously that hard to get to) is awesome. VOIP would be nice if it was better, but we have a PC for a reason, theres already so many great options out there dedicated to this. And slow service during sales is a lifetime problem, it's not just with Steam, thats what a sale causes. Like I said, I agree with much of that. But when it comes down to it, that stuff doesn't effect me daily, heck even weekely or monthly. Once in a great while one of those might bother me, but it's not very often. Normally I have Steam running, I message my friends, right click the icon in my bar and select the game I want to play, and play it. And I don't have to worry about my kid getting his hands on my games, or my horrible disk management, also nice to have all of my game icons in one location. Which is the most important things to me, these are the reasons I use Steam, and they do benefit me daily, deals are just the topping that makes it even better.
ford: the voip volume can be solved by disabling a setting in windows, namely the last tab in control panel/sound, it mutes audio when voip is used. disable that, then tell steam to not screw with your volume (as you should in every voip app) and it works well enough... but i prefer teamspeak anyway.
1. Never had the problem. 2. Don't use it, as like most people if they really want a good dedicated channel. 3. No they don't? 5. Because they are advanced options. 6. Mine auto updates, don't see a problem with that. 7. Once again, not for me. 8. Never experienced this issue bad enough to notice it out of normal behavior. All servers have lower speeds during higher times of traffic...that's how networks work. 10. I have 2 accounts which I log into absolutely fine, and my primary which I login to at least twice a day usually when switching computers. Only fails if I put in the wrong password or have a bad connection. 12. Um...no? The games are in Steam....so it installs them in the Steam folder. It is easier to manage and helps when you uninstall/reinstall Steam to find games. 13. I get the "Not available right now" message every now and then. Usually works 5 minutes later, minimal niggle but not really a huge deal to me. Really don't see the huge issue here. Whatever small "problems" it might have, the pros FAR outweigh the cons.
Just because you don't have them doesn't mean they don't exist. I have issues with Steam on almost a daily basis.
I didn't say they didn't exist. What I am saying is you seem to be nitpicking the software that is otherwise one of the best things that has happened to PC gaming IMO. These are not daily issues and not things that happen often, and on my many Steam installs on different PCs I've never had these problems and haven't heard them from people I talk to that use Steam either. Just giving you my input.
If it was my program, I'd have all those problems fixed, and others, in less than a week. They've been present for years and have showed no intent to fix them. Steam, aside from the sales, is the worst game store I've come across. Gamer's Gate, Impulse, GOG, Amazon Digital Library, and uPlay are all better. Origin has its share of problems too but customer service has taken care of it quickly (namely, errors when activing games that were purchased previously/third party). This isn't the place to be discussing this.
People nitpick different things (thinking of another thread here). Whats a small issue to some is a huge issue to others.
Didn't see these before: Communications? It's set to "Do Nothing." I don't see any settings like that under Steam/Voice. For sure GOG's downloader does. HIB's delivered via torrent do too. This is the 21st century. There's no excuse not to. Because it is completely unecessary on all services except, apparently, Steam. I've installed at least two games that refused to work right until I verified game cache. I'm talking same day here: install Absolution, can't finish the first level until I verified. I think it was Saints Row The Third that refused to run at all until the cache was verified. The pirate version (based on Steam version) of both worked the first time. How's that for irony? I can't name one game in over 15 years that I've had to reinstall (excepting Steam) because of something wrong with the game's file system. They should be prepared for it. They never really are.
I haven't ever bought anything off GOG. I think it's a great service, but I haven't ever felt the need to pick up the older titles off there. But yeah of course torrents do, thats really only 2 services though, and the 2nd is so dependent on the community seeding properly and for a good length of time. I do think this should be added to Steam and many other clients (even updates for MMO games), but for me it's not a deal breaker. I've had non-Steam games act up over the years where I just found it simpler to wipe the game. But those are usually titles that you can mod, then come out with updates and such. But theres been other times I've done it. It's not common, but I also rarely ever verify game cache's as well. Though you do list 2 games, it could vary from game to game, I have not played hitman yet sadly. That goes for any sales or heavy load of any type, but no one ever is. I'm a huge MMO fan, and one of the best memories for me ever was WoW Gates of AQ opening up. I remember I jumped on a gryphon for a 10 minute flight to get down South to head to the location. And the server crashed right as my gryphon landed. When it came back up I was just leaving my original location, so 10 min flight again, crashed at same spot. I had to ride that flight 5 times before it stopped crashing. Then there of course was more crashing later, since then, WoW nor any other MMO has ever done huge world events like that sadly. Because no matter how much they prepare, they don't think people will skip out on work or school just to be there for something like that, and people will. Seen many MMO launches where people complained, said that there should have been preparations in place, and usually there was or is, but they always guess on the low side, since it's the cheapest. Then they can just say "the amount of interested people surprised us". Though in recent times, Steam and other games taking on massive amounts of stress during these times does seem a lot better. Can just hope that trend continues. I think part of the issue is, PC gaming is actually gaining a lot of popularity. And they just haven't been able to predict how popular some of these titles would actually be.
Steam, Amazon, GOG, and torrents are the only ones I downloaded 10+ GB from (where bandwidth becomes an issue). I think the issue might have more to do with behavior than ability to moderate transfer speeds. By behavior, I mean GOG downloader, Amazon, and torrents are meant to do only one thing: download. If you don't want to be actively downloading, you simply don't run it or, you can use the pause/resume feature which works excellent on all three. Steam, on the other hand, has to be running a lot even when it isn't downloading something. For example, maybe I want to play a single player game like FTL: Faster Than Light. Steam has to be running to run that game. Sometimes it automatically pauses downloads when starting a game, sometimes it doesn't. In the case of FTL, it doesn't use internet so I want it to keep downloading. With Amazon/GOG/torrents, it's one click away from downloading. Steam, on the other hand, I've caught it not downloading when it should be download, downloading when it shouldn't be downloading, not resuming all when I tell it to resume all, or downloading updates when I didn't even say it could/should. It has a mind on it's own where the others do not. They obey user commands to the letter where Steam seems absent minded and has been that way since I first used it 4 years ago. I only have a 3 mbps/256 kbps ADSL connection, it isn't very stable, and there's many computers on the network using it. I QoS'd Steam to the lowest priority and it is still a PITA. Edit: ...that kind of turned into a mess. I hope you get the jist of it though. In short, Steam does a craptastic job at it's primary job (content delivery). I've seen threads made by other people that even Origin's download speed is better than Steam's; nevermind all the other issues. And, oh yeah, Origin pays attention to pause and resume better than Steam too. I don't know what protocol Steam uses for file transfers but it has got to be the shittiest on Earth. I don't mod (nor play MMOs). Using 3rd party software in a game that doesn't support 3rd party software is always begging for trouble.
I have never caught it not downloading when it should be downloading but for the rest yeah automatically updating i have seen that and i do hate it stopping my other downloads when starting a game although it never failed to stop other downloads which i just normally minimize the game and start the download again lol. As for steam automatically updating i don't mind never have and understand why they do it.. For me steam was buggy back when Half Life 2 was offered on ATI v cards in fact it's were my account originates from. Although once HL2 was released about 6 month after the steam platform has been near issue free for me with the odd issue which happened twice and it told me the new game i just got and downloaded was not playable lol. . Feel ya pain, i remember those times when i was only on 56k or less even. Maybe Steam need to get some servers or better ones were you live ?.. And is a shame that you cannot lower the download speeds though steam however you can turn automatic game updates off which again never been a issue and i always stop it from automatically downloading updates on my single player games.. Never had a issue with either with pausing downloads not even 4 years ago.. Maybe your one of the few who get unlucky either way or what ever reason it sucks... For me Origin being a total pain to get back on my account due to forgetting the password and waiting for the email that never arrives. Which i hope was a temp issue and is resolved now just have not got back around to it and probably will not till DA3 comes out lol. I like the Gamefly one tbh still needs work but i find it way easier to use and faster as well.. And if it been 4 years since you used steam maybe it's worth trying again..
Steam starts with my computer. Even that functionality broke (the automatically start Steam when my computer starts option) and I ended up adding a in Startup menu items. I think the #1 reason why Steam has all these problems is because it uses a Windows Service as well as an Windows Application. If they got rid of the service and put it all in the tray application, I bet 99% of the download problems would go away. I haven't tried Gamefly yet.
I do see what your saying. But I do got to say this, Steam is an actual client, comparing it to GOG, Amazon, or other things that are not actual clients is going to be a bit rough. To say Amazon is just one click away means going through the hoops to (I can't remember exactly only bought one game from there) I think the site or whatever fired up when you started it's download, and resuming or what not. I always have Steam running, since comps now days have more than enough power to keep it running. So to start or stop a download is very simple. The only problem I've ever had while dling is that if you had some downloads going and oyu start a game it pauses them. Which isn't the problem, but the problem is, when I right click to resume, it doesn't say resume, it says pause, and so I hit that and it pauses it (even though it was already paused). Then I have to right click and hit pause again and it fires up the download. But otherwise, never had a mixed bag type of result on it pausing dl's when I start games. Whenever I start a game, it always pauses my DLs. Either way, I still think it's hard to compare Steam to those other services. They might have a few extra features, because that is the only service they provide, they don't have any other client. It's strictly a client to download with. And being like that allows them to specialize a bit more. Steams kind of like the Jack of all trades, master of none. Though I think comparatively to the other clients out there, Steam is a good bit ahead. That it is, but it's a risk I think is worth it. Many games I've modded, even ones as simple as MMO modding where it's just UI modding have made my gaming experiences much better.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. GOG you can download directly using a browser or using their downloader. I'm talking 10+ GB downloads here so I'm talking about the GOG downloader and Amazon downloader. Both are small executables (<1 MiB) that do not require install. You download the downloader, run it, queue games (in the case of GOG), and it downloads. When it is done downloading, you delete the executable and they're gone for good. GOG has an option to change max bandwidth. I don't know if Amazon does. Both have pause/resume support. They are both clients: they authenticate you and grant you access to download the software just like Steam does. The only difference is Amazon and GOG downloader's don't mascarade as a store or have chat/VOIP/achievements/etc. Their sole objective is to deliver the product. If Valve's developers are so incompetent that they can't manage to merge the product delivery with the other features (which is actually quite simple), then perhaps they shouldn't. Just look at what they waste their time on (e.g. Big Picture) instead of making the fundamentals sound. It's pathetic. Amazon has "other clients" for delivering movies and music.
- Online DRM is always worse than no DRM, Steam is no exception in that regard, I generally dislike anything which hinders my ability to do things with the stuff I own, and let's not forget that I don't even own anything on Steam, I can't gift or sell any app/game there, nor I will be able to properly use/play any of those if the backend goes down for some reason, so it's very far from perfect. - Lots of people have horrible problems with Steam, I had (still have a few of them too), but lots of people have problems with games without Steam as well, it's always like that with hardware and software, again, Steam is no exception in that regard. - But there are many good things too: For example I really like good deals, the ability to redownload/reinstall software any time i want/need, and the account based cloud feature of Steam is something I really enjoy because I don't have to copy my configs from machine to machine all the times, etc... ps.: new GMG code if someone needs it: GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 (I tested it when I bought Doom3 as a xmas-gift for somebody and it worked)

AMD Super Pi History To Be Rewritten, Courtesy Of The Stilt AMD's typically underwhelming Super PI performance, that was usually attributed to architectural limitations when it comes to the X87 instruction set, appears to have been nothing more than a blunder on the part of the developers responsible with BIOS development and optimization for AMD platforms. Finnish overclocker, The Stilt, figured out how to considerably improve performance by going through the BIOS developers guides. The exact same guides available to the BIOS R&D teams of motherboard vendors, a surprising fact considering a single man managed to outdo an entire industry. Here is the download link to the patch: click The Stilt posted a video in which he showed a 4.1GHz A10-6800K completing SuperPI in 17 minutes and 34 seconds. The fastest 5GHz Richland SuperPI 32M is around 18 minutes and 15 seconds. A lot faster! For more information, check out the thread in the HWBot forums.
There has to be a drawback. Power consumption? Lower performance in other areas? (p.s. Submit your scores to HWbot while you can)
I don't know how to feel about this. Stilt said "sad"... I'm more like "horrified". Excellent work. Respect !
If anything, it seems to lower the Physx performance in Fluidmark(although it probably does nothing), which is supposedly X87 heavy. Without patch: scored 1403, 1406 and 1417 for an average of 1408,7 with patch: scored 1407, 1380, 1378 for an average of 1388,3 Will try to do some superPI later, but apparently either Kanter was wrong, or the patch doesn't work for all x87 code. Not trying to say the patch doesn't work, but I was thinking of physx being a good candidate for seeing some improvements. Edit: it could of course also mean the patch isn't working correctly; The program reports my µcode being out of date, and that I should update my bios. So either Asus is lazy, or theres a bug in the program (I've got the latest bios). Also, it keeps saying fix required, even after I've pressed fix(from the second click on, it reported there was nothing left to fix). Edit2: Oops, after some deeper digging in the original post, it seems the code is protected on Zambezi, meaning that indeed there is nothing that can be fixed for my CPU. Bummerrrr.
There is a multicore super pi and way better benchmarks exist. I don't know what the purpose of this is really.
The underlying idea is that the handling of X87 code is sub-optimal in all of AMD's latest CPU's. So not only superPI should see a benefit, but all other programs relying on those instructions aswell. SuperPI was mentioned as the program benefiting greatly because it is almost totally reliant on X87 only.
Yeah, I just read =( perhaps some day he/they will crack the password on the register. Yeah, physx is being one of them in software(CPU) mode. Apart from that, not that many mainstream programs. Most programmers try to use as least x87 code as possible, since it is ancient, and usually quite inefficient. This might also be the reason why AMD didn't bother with fixing this, although noone is sure.
What else uses this code? Seriously after doing some research, nothing uses x87 micro-code any more. Compiles, while they still have access to these instructions, never generate code that uses it. Anything that could have been with x87 is almost exclusively SSE of some form. Improving performance of obsolete code to make AMD look better in this one benchmark is silly. Especially when the benchmark is mainly used as a stress test.
Tried 1M with the fix Here's with the fix enabled: And here it is disabled: It seems to make it alot worse; unless his labels are backwards and disable=enable. Edit: So, I was just wanting to make sure cuz I couldn't remember my regular score at 4.5 so I OC'ed real quick to 5.2 and tried it because I know for sure that I normally do just over 17 seconds on 1M at 5.2. Down to 14 seconds for 1M with it set to disable. I think his settings are labeled backwards. Now I tried running 32M at 5.2ghz.
As I have been saying for years, many of the benches used to measure CPU/GPU/APU performance are tainted in that they are optimized for Intel products at the expense of AMD. This can be by intent or incompetence. When you run actual applications, you can see significant increases in AMD performance over many of the benches. When you run AMD processors on Linux, you can see even greater benefits than with Windoze. This ain't rocket science folks, it's reality. There is no financial incentive for benchmark makers to create proper, accurate benches when they profit from delivering benches that make Intel products look superior to AMD. If all you care about is running bogus benches, then carry on. If you care about actually using your PC, then test with real applications and the best drivers.
This post is so insane, meaningless and factually wrong I cringe thinking what's going on in your head.
It's been proven with quite a few different benchmarks. There should never be a switch asking if the processor is AMD or Intel, ever period end of story. cinebench proved that when AMD was allowed to use the intel data path it was substantially faster, yet there is a line of code that asks if(genuineIntel). That is a load of BS. It should not be like that and yet it is. There are quite a few programs AMD has the ability to perform better in, yet due to program design it cannot. If you don't believe that look a little harder. It's not just AMD either there was testing done with a Via nano set to look like an Intel chip and it offered 15-30% better performance. I wouldn't try and argue something that is documented as an Intel owner I would just be mad that they are trying to prevent competition by making the competition look weaker. That is BS and anyone who has looked into it knows that.
this is why more things should be made open source. i hope they fire the people who made the blunder. fools getting paid to do something and still dont do it better than some random dude who just did it himself. to stilt.
because occasionally a n00b intel fanboi comes along and yells "haha my intel i is better than your fx because it does pi calculation faster" :shadedshu

Add Photo Add Comment Printer View
This route is shown clearly in the attached Photo. To reach it, approach the Thin Wall's east side and orient according to the photo. This would best be described as starting in a "double crack" in the center of the right half of the wall. Climb the double crack system upward to a merge 1/3 of just to the beginning of a bulge up top, then continue up on the single crack. The jams are good, although the rock is a little poor.The route is traditionally rated (Vogel guide) as 5.9+, but it seems that everything at Thin Wall is overgraded and this felt fair at 5.8.
Cams and Tricams. The crack system here is flaring and rounded and has plenty of shedding crystals. Set pro carefully. This is not 'S' for an experienced leader, but is not a good lead for a beginner.
This route has a tricky start for a newer leader. The moves are difficult to read and the whole climb feels a little strange.
An "R" rating? Seriously?
R? What the heck?! Probably the easiest 9 in the park I've ever done. When you think about Pope's Crack or Touch and Go, this is a 5.8- or easier. No pro for the start for maybe 3 moves but this climb is not the least bit run-out.
I would also agree that this climb is not an 'R' nor a 5.9+. 5.8/5.8- is probably a fair assessment. However, the line I took was primarily to the right of the one in the beta photo.

How Photography (and Facebook) Changes Everything
I had to update my Facebook profile picture today. My hair no longer falls past my nose and I've got a new vest from Target. Plus, the last one was taken over two weeks ago. So much has changed in my life since then. As I look at the previous photograph, I don't recognize myself. I've lost a bit of the cockiness I had felt at that moment.
Why do Facebook users choose to represent themselves the way they do? On good days, we post pictures of ourselves smiling, arms around the shoulders of our best friends or partners. On bad days, that smile is updated to become a vacant look, a simple acknowledgment that the camera is capturing our image.
Click!, an innovative new Website by the Smithsonian Photography Initiative, might answer that question. Photographs are powerful objects for change. They change who we are, what we remember, what we see, where we go, what we want and what we do, oftentimes in subtle ways.
Our Facebook portraits are like three-dimensional mirrors. Our image doesn't just stare back at us—we now have the power to manipulate it. How many times have you struck a pose intended for your Facebook page? The photograph that the social media user posts is essentially an act of reflection. It says, "This is who I see myself to be."
As that picture becomes public, that self-definition then becomes a shared conversation. The images are given additional meanings as our friends (and frenemies) inquire, "Are you ok…?", compliment, "You look beautiful ", or criticize, "You are ridiculous!" Our photos become items of analysis, further shaping our online identities.
Click! invites the public to consider and share how photographs have changed their lives. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this experiment will prove it. To contribute to Click! submit an image, along with a short essay on how that photo changed you, influenced you, inspired you, or reflects a broader social-historical trend. Whether that image is a Facebook profile picture, on old birthday snapshot, a portrait from the 1800s, proof that you didn't deserve that parking ticket, or a close-up on the stars or a snowflake, it has significance. Click! leaves it up to contributors to find it.
Now, this isn't LOLcats. It's a Web 2.0 project with slightly higher standards, but the Click! staff will help shape your entry, sending back suggestions, and the best will be published on the site. The current content is already insightful and interesting, and is a great way to start thinking of ideas. To guide contributers, Click! also features themed submissions, such as March's focus on Women's History Month and an upcoming Astronomy theme.
The site had me thinking metaphysically about how I've come to regard the question: "Who am I?" Once a difficult subject, I can now just send people a link to my Facebook profile. The picture and information may be ever-changing, but at least it's accurate moment to moment. It's not much different from the yearly school or family portrait of decades past. What's changed with the Web and digital technology is the frequency we can create and share these representations.
Wow, all this critiquing has me worn out. Guess it's time to change my profile picture. I'll try to smile this time.

Hiya Claire,
There is a web-based platform, that not only does everything ACT! does, but also has a fully integrated e-mail system, that files against each contact e-mails in and out, not only this you can also store documents against the contact record and a whole raft of other goodies, which are not available in ACT!
The other good news is it's web-based so you can access it from anywhere 24/7, and data can be imported from ACT! to i-Tr@der (the system).
You know what else, for less than 10 users, it's free for the first year and thereafter 60 pounds a month which is a support charge. The support charge is waved for the first year.

I have spoken to a number of ESPs and some seem to think this is a relatively simple process and can be done through API or manual import while others say it's difficult to virtually impossible.
What's the truth? And how can it be done? I don't mind a manual import by csv – but can you import such things into a history? Or is there a process to trigger a history event on import?
I was suggested looking at Swift by another forum user, and they seem to integrate above and beyond which is great, but they are not a UK ESP so I worry about deliverability etc.

May 18, 2010 — Many people are weighing in on both sides of the marijuana debate ever since the Lassen County Board of Supervisors passed the 45-day moratoria on the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries and the cultivation of medical marijuana in the unincorporated areas of the county.
There are solid arguments on both sides of the marijuana issue, which is gaining popularity throughout the state as the November election draws near. People don't want it grown near their children. It helps people deal with chronic pain. It can be a gateway drug that can lead to abuse. Regardless of which side you stand on, its obvious it's not as cut and dry as could have been originally predicted in Lassen County. Historically, Lassen County has been a conservative leaning community. Any issue involving marijuana in the county has generally been cut across Republican and Democratic party lines.
Granted, it could be a small number of people who are more vocal about a subject than the majority, but it's surprising that more people gave comments in favor of marijuana use than those who opposed it at a study session held by the Lassen County Board of Supervisors at Jensen Hall on Tuesday, May 11.
The important point to remember is to keep the debate in context. The issue has been around Lassen County for a long time, from last year's drug bust that ended in gunfire and a Sheriff's deputy getting shot to the dispensary that opened six years on Johnstonville Road The Lassen County Sheriff's Office is right in that areas of cultivation have an increased risk of armed robbery, burglary, traffic and exposing minors to marijuana. However, it may not be the devil drug many make it out to be either, as it has obvious implications in pain relief. The debate can get heated on both sides and tempers can flare. As with any debate, it's important to look at all sides of an issue before weighing in, and people from different walks of life are going to have different opinions.
In these days of financial hardship and stress within the state of California, there is almost no issue that can be classified as a clear-cut case of right and wrong. The county has 45 days from May 12 to make a decision. The reason why it's up to them is because its zoning and land use issue which is not affected by state or federal law.
Whether you are for or against the amount of medical marijuana that exists in the community, just remember to keep a cool head and not escalate the situation to a violent ultimatum. Context and moderation in all things tend to lead to the best decisions.

An Irish passport is one of the most sought-after travel documents in the world.
I have both Irish and English citizenship and have always used the Irish passport in preference.
It's kitschy but true; being Irish is seen as being more, well, likeable or something.
The easiest way to get an Irish passport of course is to be born in Ireland.
But, if you drew the short straw on that one, you're going to need an Irish parent or an Irish grandparent.
If you have an Irish great-grandparent you need to satisfy the following requirements;
There are two circumstances under which a great-grandchild is eligible to apply for Irish citizenship by descent:
The Irish Consulate in New York explained that the parent would need to be registered in the "Foreign Birth Register" which is held at the Consulate, effectively a listing of those of Irish citizens born abroad who are entitled to Irish citizenship who have their births "registered."
Meanwhile, Ireland's Prime Minister Brian Cowen has indicated that he would favor relaxing naturalization laws and allowing Americans whose nearest Irish relative is a great-grandparent to claim citizenship, provided they have spent some time either working or studying in Ireland. So watch this space.
A practical use of an Irish passport is that you will be entitled to work and travel freely in any of the 27 countries in the European Union.
You won't need a work permit for this – and once you have worked in a European Union county for a certain length of time, you will be entitled to unemployment compensation, health care and pension rights.
How else then can you get an Irish passport? Getting a passport is really the easy part – it's getting Irish citizenship that takes a little time.
Born in Ireland
To get an Irish passport, you must first become an Irish citizen. Fortunately, Americans can hold dual citizenship, as can Irish, so there's no conflict there.
Let's look at the scenarios that allow you to claim Irish citizenship.
Anyone born in Ireland before January 1, 2005 is an Irish citizen. After that date, it is not automatic, and the citizenship and residency history of both parents is taken into account.
Marriage to Irish citizen
You are also entitled to Irish citizenship if you are married to an Irish citizen.
To claim citizenship by marriage, you must meet the following conditions: you must be married to an Irish citizen for at least three years; you must have had one year of "continuous residence" on the island of Ireland immediately before the date of your application; and finally, you must have been living on the island of Ireland for at least two of the four years before that year of continuous residence.
If you were born outside of Ireland and either your mother or father (or both) was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, then you are entitled to Irish citizenship.
Permanent residency
If you have been a permanent resident in Ireland, you can try to become a citizen through naturalization. You will need to have lived permanently in Ireland for the previous five years, be over 18 and not have a criminal record.
But let's face it – living in Ireland for five years is a lot of effort just to get that Irish passport. A much better way to get an Irish passport is to have at least one Irish grandparent. And by Irish, we mean an Irish grandparent who was or is an Irish citizen.
Irish grandparents
What to do next?
After getting an Irish grandparent, the next thing to do is to call an Irish consulate and ask them to send you an application form. There are Irish consulates in most of the major U.S cities. They should also be able to advise you on getting the right documentation in order for your application.
You'll need a copy of your grandparent's birth certificate from Ireland. If you don't have a copy you can get one from the General Registry Office in Dublin. (Click here to go to their Web site.)
You will also need: Your grandparent's certificate of marriage; your parents' birth and marriage certificates; and an original death certificate for any of these relatives who have passed away. If the grandparent is deceased, you'll need to show a certified copy of their death certificate, and if alive, a current official I.D. (such as a driver's license or passport.)
To access the Irish documents, it will help you to know as much information about where and when your Irish grandparent was born, which may involve some genealogy research.
If one of your parents is Irish, and you would like to get an Irish passport, the process is easier. You need: their marriage certificate; a current official I.D; a copy of their death certificate if your Irish parent has passed away, a full long-form birth certificate of your Irish parent, showing your grandparents' names, places of birth and ages at birth.
You will also need: your own long-form birth certificate; documentation to show that you have changed your name, such as a marriage certificate, if this has happened; a notarized copy of your current passport, and at least three other notarized copies of proofs of identity, one of which must be a photo I.D; a bank/utility statement with your current address; and two signed passport photos.
Once you have established your Irish citizenship – which can take up to 18 months to process – you can apply for an Irish passport. This can take up to six weeks to process and you can do this through your nearest Irish consulate.
And then, you too can sashay through the EU passport section at Dublin airport after the overnight flight from New York!
Can I get "Political Asylum" from the US? :)
Can I get my dual citizenship if I hand carry all the forms requested to Ireland? Or do I have to go through the Irish Consulate in New York or the Embasy in Washington DC. Which is faster
One of my great-grandparents were born there, but I don't even know their first name only the surname. This would be a dream come true to learn more about my heritage, but one day I will know the information and hopefully the process will be easier! :)
Great my mother was born in tydavnet county monaghan, I"ll move on this and visit the consulate in ny.
I have just gotten the forms for my twin grandbabies to register them with the Foreign Births Registry! My kids are Irish citizens by mean of their father and both sides of grandparents being born in Ireland. You never know when you might need an Irish passport!
I'm in the process of getting a passport now. I called ahead and went to the church where my Grandmother Nora was baptised and that is legit also. She was born in 1901 in Clifden a glorious part of County Galway. Can't wait to back.
Hmm...ALL of my ggparents were born in Ireland but I'm sure my parents didn't register.
Faith 'N Begorrah....and because of my age, it will be free, too!~ Slainte!
Too bad for me---only my great-grandfather was born in Ireland-and I'm too old to wait until the powers that be ease up on the requirements.
Wait a minute. Did you forget to add Niall's method? Where is the illegal alien method? Per Niall it is perfectly acceptable for criminals to come to the United States, take tax dollars and jobs, and then demand citizenship. Kelly why do you not show that method? Your article is lacking and considering Niall is like the head honcho why is this not written here? Wait, did I hear something about Ireland having a law against such a thing? Ah. Per Niall it is only acceptable to break American law. I see.
The easiest way to get an Irish passport is to land at Dublin Airport from London or Paris and flush your Nigerian passport down the commode in the plane. Then scream "Political Asylum" as you go thru Immigration. Tell them you're from Sudan or Somalia--they won't be able to tell that you're a Nigerian. They'll find you a house and pay you an allowance for being a "refugee" and shortly thereafter your Irish passport will arrive. Don't believe me? Check out the Waiting Room in the Irish Passport Office in Dublin. It's full of Africans and Arabs. Or look around you on a flight into or out of Dublin. You'll see several African "refugees" leaving to transit in Paris or Brussels for Africa, the place they feared so much that they sought "refuge" as far away as Ireland, avoiding a score of other safe havens on the way.
Dara Kelly you have some nerve telling the Irish people what not to sing,I dont know what rock you climbed out from under, our music is a large part of our heritage and history,We now have peace in Ireland and we are grateful for that, opinions like yours can destroy that causing resentment.
I took all of my documents with me to Ireland, much faster! Took my long form birth certificate, my mother's birth & marriage certs went to the garda station. They took a few minutes to do whatever it is they do with documents, received a stamp on my papers, popped into passport office and had a passport in a few days! You can pay extra to expedite the service. So very proud to use my passport on a trip to London a few days later only to find out they don't even stamp it!! UK Border Agency has a special line for Irish Travelers, you just breeze through! Whoosh!
What if your Irish grandparents have passed on to their eternal reward?
Great my father and Grandparents were all born in Killarney
Anyone can "travel freely" within the EU once you are inside, no need for an Irish/EU passport for that. But, yes, it is a big plus to have an Irish passport. Outside of North America (don't try to enter Canada from the US with your Irish passport, it would be a hassle) I use my Irish passport exclusively. In an encounter with Islamic terrorists it may be a lifesaver. If you do extensive international travel and quality for Irish citizenship go for it. You are not only entitled to live and work in all EU countries (except for Romania and Bulgaria for the moment) but also in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. How about Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guyana, Nouvelle Calendonie or Mayotte? No problem, call it home with your Irish passport.
Or be a member of MI-6 or the Mossad, or...
Who in his right mind would want to sashay through Dublin EU passport section when he can land in Shannon and see the Ireland we came for right away without all those trappings of civilisation that Dublin so thoroughly supplies?
Ask Israel for one.
"English citizenship?" Surely, you mean "British citizenship".
