All I want to do is make money writing Free Software!
Business Plans in Free Software
When you write free software, it's a good idea to consider your goals. You might even want to draw up a business plan.
Someone recently approached me at a conference and told me that they had a free software product as a business and the business had failed. They had conceived of a product, hired a set of developers, invested a lot of money in the project, and when it came time for people to buy the software, no one purchased it. He lost all of his investment money. I asked him what his business plan had been before he started hiring the programmers. He told me that he had never gotten to the point of writing a business plan. This was part, if not all, of his problem.
Before you write free software, you need to determine what your goals are and how you plan to achieve those goals. Some people write free software "just for fun," or to learn more about writing software for a particular need. They have no incentive to make money with the software. Even if they never make a single dollar from the software, they will keep writing it.
Other people have an interest in a field such as photography, astronomy, or general systems administration, and they need the software to help them in that field. Often they create a project to get others who are also interested in that field to help them make the software better.
Some people write free software for the political or sociological reasons of "Freeing the Internet" or "Digital Inclusion." They believe (I feel correctly) that society in general would be better with the ability to change the software to meet their needs, and they dedicate their time and skills to making this happen.
Finally, some people see in free software a chance for people to make or save money, either directly through the sales of services or through the application of new software techniques that add value to the user's business.
This last group of people are usually not writing the software for their own use, so more of the compensation for their time and effort is monetary. Therefore, you have to know from where and at what point in the project the compensation will arrive before you start.
Is your plan for making money based on service? If so, what type of services will you offer? Integration? Training? Tailoring the software? Will your service delivery be able to scale? Will people perceive your service as necessary and a "value-add" to the software?
A friend of mine had a business offering training on a certain package of free software. Because of a switch in the direction of the communities, fewer and fewer people were using the free software that he had built his business around. He then found a closed-source, proprietary piece of software from a company that was floundering and he purchased the company.
Recognizing that 60 percent of the customers that did buy the software bought a support contract and training, he decided to make the software free to download, and he put the source code under an open source license. Immediately the number of companies using the software increased by more than 100 times, and (after a brief usage of the software) 60 percent of the companies that downloaded it bought service contracts and training. However, my friend had the staff, resources, and experience to reach and service this large influx of people, so he could take advantage of the service revenue. He made much more money than when the company was charging per license.
Another friend had a huge amount of software that his engineering staff had developed and which he sold and serviced. As he received more competition in the marketplace, he was forced to lay off engineers and quality assurance people. He decided to make the bulk of the software free software and allowed the community to download, maintain, and improve it. Certain portions of the software he kept proprietary and he refocused his smaller group of engineers on that software, which only the largest customers would find useful. Second, he cut his cost of sales by selling only to the large customers that downloaded the free software. By reducing his expenses and refocusing his engineering staff on new functionality that these large customers found useful, he maintained his business.
Some people will argue that the last example of software was not completely "free" for the large customers. However, the actions taken by my friend allowed small companies to use and maintain the free software to their advantage, rather than have the software disappear completely. A lot of really great technical projects are out there. People who hope to someday support themselves by writing free software.will want to start with a good business plan.

World Infection Prevention Product Demand to Reach $130 Million
Revenues for Contract Building Maintenance Services to Exceed $176 Billion
World Security Equipment Demand to Reach $117 Billion in 2016
Demand for cosmetic and toiletry chemicals in the US is forecast to rise 4.9 percent per year to $9.4 billion in 2016. Gains will be aided by healthy increases in sales of cosmetic and toiletry products, particularly those appealing to baby boomers, who favor products with active ingredients to reduce the signs of aging; and to consumers who prefer that their personal care products be sourced from renewable and natural materials. These product types are typically more costly than inactive or synthetic materials, which will boost dollar gains. At the same time, volume demand advances will be somewhat restrained by these products' efficacy at lower loadings than traditional chemical ingredients. These and other trends, including market share and product segmentation, are presented in Cosmetic & Toiletry Chemicals, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry market research firm.
Botanical extracts are expected to see the fastest gains in demand among cosmetic and toiletry chemicals through 2016. These advances will reflect the favorable natural profile of extracts, which many consumers perceive as being more healthful and beneficial than synthetic chemicals. Traditional materials, such as petroleum-based oils and waxes, will see limited gains going forward as consumers increasingly prefer products formulated with recognizable ingredients, such as those they may find in their own kitchens (e.g., essential oils, aloe vera). In addition to natural ingredient content, consumers also increasingly expect dramatic, visible results from such products as anti-aging cosmetics and toiletries, driving demand for active ingredients such as enzymes and amino acids. Products with the best growth potential include those with active, natural formulations.
High value raw materials with mass consumer appeal -- such as exotic essential oils sourced from various global locations -- are increasingly being utilized to invigorate sales. Many of these products also benefit from the perception that they are less irritating and more gentle than commodity chemicals. Emollients and moisturizing agents, and specialty additives will see the fastest growth in demand through 2016, as consumers expect higher performance from their toiletries. Active ingredients in particular will see above average gains among specialty additives.
The Freedonia Group is a leading international business research company, founded in 1985, that publishes more than 100 industry research studies annually. This industry analysis provides an unbiased outlook and a reliable assessment of an industry and includes product segmentation and demand forecasts, industry trends, demand history, threats and opportunities, competitive strategies, market share determinations and company profiles.

STEAM AND MIRRORS: A compact linear Fresnel reflector, like Ausra's plant in Australia pictured here, uses lines of mirrors to focus the sun's rays on an overhead trough, turning water into steam to generate electricity.
Image: COURTESY OF AUSRA
In the often cloudless American Southwest, the sun pours more than eight kilowatt-hours* per square meter of its energy onto the landscape. Vast parabolic mirrors in the heart of California's Mojave Desert concentrate this solar energy to heat special oil to around 750 degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Celsius). This hot oil transfers its heat to water, vaporizing it, and then that steam turns a turbine to produce electricity. All told, nine such mirror fields, known as concentrating solar power plants, supply 350 megawatts of electricity yearly.
In the face of mounting concern about climate change, alternatives to coal and natural gas combustion such as these never seemed more attractive. And with the bounty of the sun waiting to be captured near fast-growing major centers of electricity consumption—Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Phoenix, among others—interest in such solar thermal technology is on the rise. The first such plant to be built in decades started providing 64 megawatts of electricity to the neon lights of Vegas this summer.
But physicist David Mills, chief scientific officer and founder of Palo Alto, Calif.–based solar-thermal company Ausra, has bigger ideas: concentrating the sun's power to provide all of the electricity needs of the U.S., including a switch to electric cars feeding off the grid. "Within 18 months, with storage, we will not only reduce [the] cost of [solar-thermal] electricity but also satisfy the requirements for a modern society," Mills claims. "Supplying [electricity] 24 hours a day and effectively replacing the function of coal or gas."
The company insists it can do this at a cost of just 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, analogous to the price of electricity from burning natural gas in California if a cost was imposed for the emission of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas (as the state's Public Utilities Commission is considering).
Ausra will rely on a different type of concentrating solar power plant to deliver on this promise. French physicist Augustin Fresnel showed in the 19th century that a large lens, like the parabolic troughs of the existing solar-thermal plants, can be broken down into smaller sections that deliver the same focus. Applying this, Mills's design—a compact linear Fresnel reflector—allows for greater ground coverage, lower weight and greater durability than precision-shaped parabolic mirrors. "You can drop stones on it and they bounce off," Mills says. "We would be able to build these in Florida in the hurricane zone."
This Fresnel solar thermal plant also eliminates oil, directly heating water to a lower temperature of roughly 535 degrees F (280 degrees C) at a higher pressure, about 50 bars, or 50 times atmospheric pressure. Then, it uses the resultant steam to turn the same low-temperature turbines as those employed in nuclear reactors.
The amount of electricity produced is simply a function of the sun's bounty and the number of mirrors. "We're moving from 80- to 100-megawatt designs to 700 megawatts and above," says John O'Donnell, Ausra's executive vice president.
The key will be proving performance. Thus far, the company has exactly one solar array, hooked to a coal-fired power plant in Australia to provide extra steam that improves its efficiency at burning the dirty rock. At present, the Ausra mirrors produce just an additional 12 megawatts of extra heat, but there are plans to boost that as high as 38 megawatts thermal.

When Una called from Johannesburg International Airport, the rain was crashing down so loudly I could hardly hear her.
Her plane arrived half-an-hour early and she found a big Sotho airport official in a blue uniform and asked where she could get a decent cup of coffe and a light breakfast.
'I don't know Cape Town very well, you see,' she said to him, flustered.
'Yo mama,' he said and roared with laughter. 'This is not Cape Town any longer, this is Egoli (the city of gold) and you must hit the Spur restaurant running. Fried eggs and tomatoes and a good steak!'
Johannesburg, Egoli, the city of gold. For years I would look out of plane windows and see the yellow mine dumps rising up all around the skyscrapers, looking down on the wealthiest city in white South Africa, built on the blood and sweat of exploited miners and those elusive seams of gold running underground to the deepest shafts in the world. Every now and again there are sudden sinkages and streets, bungalows, suburbs fall down into seemingly bottomless pits. The miners die in the rockfalls and mistimed blasts and still the search for gold goes on, deeper and deeper, even though the seams and ribbed veins of gold are mined out for the most part.
Enjoy the city! Lap it all up, I say to Una and she hesitates. The last time she went up to Johannesburg was 40 years ago during her nursing training and she stayed in a racially segregated nurses' residence with other young white Afrikaner meisies and cried each night to come home to her mother in the Cape.
If only you were here, she says wistfully. I privately thank God I'm not there. She needs a break from me. Many of you, my blog readers, may feel the same way. That last post was seriously depressing. I hate to sound negative. I hate throwing curved balls at the desktop screen.
But sometimes just telling the truth changes something about that bitter truth, makes it somehow more palatable. And less of a secret. Thanks to all of you who emailed — I am fine, really.

Former England captain Jamie Peacock has turned down the chance to become involved with the national team at the 2013 World Cup.
Peacock, who retired from international rugby league last July, was expected to take up a support role with England coach Steve McNamara this year.
But the Leeds Rhinos forward, who turned 35 last month, has told McNamara he does not feel able to devote enough time to the national team.
"I'm doing a masters in sports business and administration and that's taking up too much of my time," Peacock told reporters at the Leeds pre-season media day.
"With playing as well and having three kids, I'd rather do two or three jobs well than four averagely.
"If I was to commit to doing the England job, I wouldn't have the time to do all four jobs properly.
"I think Steve kind of suspected it might be coming. He totally understands about chewing off too much.
"They will get somebody else to do that role. Steve said if he needs any advice he'll ring me but I don't imagine he will. He'll be fine with all the staff he's got at the moment."
Peacock is doing his masters at Leeds Metropolitan University alongside club-mate Kevin Sinfield, his successor as England captain, with both men planning to remain involved in the game in an administrative capacity when they retire.
Peacock has two years left on his contract and believes his decision to relinquish the England captaincy and concentrate on his domestic career was a key factor in him finding the form that helped take the Rhinos to a sixth Grand Final triumph last October.
It also enabled him to enjoy a first full off season since 1999, which he hopes will have a beneficial effect when Leeds launch the defence of their title on Friday week.
"The lack of responsibility with England helps and just being able to concentrate on what I'm doing at Leeds as well," he said.
"Knowing the Grand Final was my last game of the year no matter what was a bonus because I was able to throw everything into the cause for Leeds and hopefully it will be the same this year.
"It's a bit of a relief not to have all that responsibility. I enjoyed my time and I suppose I'll miss it when it comes to England playing Australia but that's life, you've got to move on.
"If they beat them, it will be a fantastic feeling watching.
"It's been a good pre-season so far and now I'm looking forward to playing.
"I'm a lot stronger and fitter than I've ever been at the start of the year and I'd like to see how that transfers into playing.
"We need to start the season well. We've got some big games to start with, obviously Hull and at home and then we've got to build into the World Club Challenge."
Despite the onerous tasks that come with the England captaincy, Peacock has backed Sinfield to make a success of it if, as expected, he is chosen to lead England into the World Cup.
"He's used to being the Leeds captain," Peacock added. "I think it's probably opened his eyes up a bit to how much actually does go on.
"It's not just a playing job, it's more than that. But if there is one man that can do that job very well, it's Kevin."

Took this new toy up to the gun range. I was basically the only one there again.
Loaded up five Remington Premier Magnum 17HMR, 17 grain, AccuTip-V, Boat Tail, plastic point, bullet and shot at the target at 50 yards. These targets are regulation 25-yard pistol targets, the black area is BIG. I missed the BIG BLACK area five times. Then ten times. I thought this rifle was bore-sighted. I went down range and discovered all ten holes in the bottom left corner. Great grouping but way off. Dave told me that with a 1/4 MOA that four clicks was about one inch. I moved the reticule about eight clicks up and to the right. The grouping didn't move two inches. It moved a lot less. I guess I moved one up almost one complete turn and the other one right about 3/4 turn.
By the time I had a decent grouping just below the bullseye, I had shot up 50 rounds. Dave then took a look through the scope. Turns out that the scope was rotated. (I am hoping that I could still site the rifle in and then move the scope later. I will find out at my next session.) My next bullets were Hornady Magnum, 20 grain XTP bullet. These have a hollow point. I only shot five rounds, all ending up about an inch high and to the right so I am averaging the bullseye. I stopped shooting after this round. After checking both my targets, I figured each grouping was no more than 2" and a couple were about an inch.
There is very little recoil, rather like a .22 since it was developed from the 22 magnum. The 4x scope is OK and has a focus on it. I was able to see the bullet holes at 50 yards as long as I hit the black. Changing the reticules is mediocre. They are well marked but the clicks are hard to feel. The magazine is not so great. It is easy to load and easy to remove but putting back into the gun was somewhat tedious. It wasn't always smooth and sometimes had to be pulled back out and reinserted with better alignment and a bit more persuasion. I feel that Savage should re-engineer that magazine.
Cleaning the gun was interesting. I do have a small brass brush and rod made just for this small caliber but I don't have anything to hold a cleaning cloth. So I asked myself what could I use to swab down the inside of the barrel to clean it? Duh! How about a cotton swab? It worked great. I cut them in half and stuck the stick in the hold of the cleaning rod and shoved it through. Obviously I couldn't pull the rod back out but as long as I pushed it through, it was fine.
Overall, I like the rifle. Once I get it sighted in for one particular bullet, I should be fine for small varmits and and those vicious cans and such. (Ever been attacked by a can? The can really give you a nasty cut!)
p.s. I plan on going up to the Hendricksen range again on Friday about 1 pm if anyone is interested. Also, said range is scheduled to be closed next week from Tuesday, July 15 to Friday, July 18th, for a police shoot of some sort.

On the road it's pretty crazy because new -- -- Coldplay or anything but we but we take.
We take thirty people on the road twelve of them are on I just -- cold play.
There's and -- told Osama onstage.

You know they have a 33 import elements of assault.
I did an interview with somebody in America -- because the Parents Television Council -- -- -- They were there were they're going after radio -- they found out that if you listen to radio for like.
Thirty minutes you get seventeen or eighteen strong reproductive messages as they're put it meeting -- -- -- I wouldn't say sex and reproductive medicine so.
So really were as is -- just from that.
Do do Kobe but he's also 1930s and I say I disagree on television.
They were the there was so innocent you know I mean it was like you know -- -- And came -- -- from across the -- and -- the love song -- -- lingered there aren't touched her hair and -- with me now think.
-- -- -- -- -- And -- they had though the innocence of the lyrics great melodies you can remember and then the -- the music is complicated so it's great music dancing.
Yeah is there what is it that the sun is there one -- -- -- -- -- is an incredible reaction out there -- including standing.
It's really in the mood -- we do we do a thing now where we were sort of this ministry where we take.
We go to kill shelters animal shelters and we take.
And dogs are on death row so to speak and we pull him out of there we we we.
-- rent them around but we adopt them.
And then we train them with a master trainer.
And tremendous service dogs and -- -- -- them with veterans -- PT EST so there's a strong.
-- veterans' message to our -- to our show.
And and one of the most popular songs.
Couldn't play rappers in the movie about a that it -- -- wind is also really popular and people.

Desktop variants of AMD "Richland" APUs in the socket FM2 package, will arrive this June. Three of the first models to be released to the market, the A10-6800K, the A10-6700, and the A4-4400, could already be in stock with certain retailers, and were pictured. The A10-6800K (AD680KWOA44HL) features four x86-64 cores based on the "Piledriver" micro-architecture, 4.10 GHz core clock speed, 4.40 GHz maximum Turbo Core frequency, and Radeon HD 8670D graphics, clocked at 844 MHz. It features an unlocked base-clock multiplier. The A10-6700 (AD6700OKA44HL) features the same graphics core as the A10-6800K, but features 3.70 GHz CPU clock speed, 4.30 GHz maximum Turbo Core frequency, and an upwards locked base-clock multiplier. The A4-4400 (AD4400OKA23HL), on the other hand, is an entry-level dual-core chip with 3.70 GHz core, 3.90 GHz Turbo Core, and Radeon HD 8370D graphics. Source: Hermitage Akihabara
These finally seem to get closer to the high clock speeds they were supposed to run from the beginning. Quite awesome to see a chip running that much over 4GHz factory clocked.
These iTX boards no good? http://www.microcenter.com/search/s... 4294959256&NTX=&NTT=&NTK=all&sortby=pricelow
I wonder if the 6800K will crossfire with a better card instead of the 6670 maybe that is why the 7730 might be released
I know the ASrock a75 fm2 caught on fire for some people since it had very poor cooling for the motherboard itself and the msi is fine but had some heat issues but the ASrock A85 seemed to fix the problems that the A75 boards had
Good to know there is not long to wait. I am currently posting this using an A4 5300 as my main computer and HTPC have failed me so i got this to replace my HTPC, although after getting to use this and game on it (source engine games so nothing demanding) i want an A10 5700 for general usage but Richland slightly complicated things. If the A10-6700 has a 65w TDP then it may be a better choice. i look forward to more information.
that is what I was thinking as soon as the 7830 news came out. could be a powerful combo for mini itx if they sell it in low profile
Look here then: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2309611 A10-6700 (yes, it's 65W TDP model, like it's predecessor) is anywhere from 15% to 30% faster in GPU synthetics than A10-5800K... so probably even more so than A10-5700.
The current gen FM2 APUs pair with the current 7 series graphics card... These will do the same in regards to the upcoming 8 series.
For real Richland performance video check this out!! Lots of other videos too. I think the guy is working flat out. Crossfire videos have started appearing too. I asked him about crossfiring, He has tried a few cards, nothing will work above 6670 AMD Richland 6800k + HD 6670, Grid 2, Video perfor...

Do you know a song that relates back to the story Romeo and Juliet? The song that I picked is called "Hey Juliet" by LMNT. This song talks about Romeo and Juliet, but do you believe this song has an accurate allusion of the passage?
This song talks about a guy who loves a girl who doesn't really notice him, but he wants to be her Romeo. He says how he's begging her to be with him, how she's so fine, and how he wants to run away with her. She doesn't even acknowledge him when he says "hey hey Juliet."
I believe that this song doesn't have an accurate allusion of Romeo and Juliet at all. He says how he wants to run away with her, which does some-what resemble the passage, but it says how she doesn't even notice him. In the passage Juliet loves Romeo and wants to be with him all of the time.
Do you agree why I believe that this song doesn't have a good portray of Romeo and Juliet? I believe that it doesn't at all. Now it's your turn to find a song that has a good or bad representation of Romeo and Juliet.

TRON: Legacy Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Album Released On: Dec 07, 2010 Released By: Walt Disney Records BUY NOW |
The highly anticipated original motion picture score for TRON: Legacy, composed and produced by the iconic and critically acclaimed Grammy® Award-winning French duo Daft Punk, will be released by Walt Disney Records on Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Presented in Disney Digital 3Dâ"¢, Walt Disney Pictures' TRON: Legacy hits U.S. theaters on December 17, 2010, in Disney Digital 3Dâ"¢ and IMAX® 3D.
Having grown up with admiration of Disney's groundbreaking original 1982 film TRON, Daft Punk took on the scoring of the next chapter of the story with extraordinary thought and precision. The duo assembled a symphony of one hundred world class musicians in London and recorded the orchestra at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, Britain's premier scoring facility. TRON: Legacy will mark Daft Punk's first film score.
TRON: Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father — he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

"Pretty photos are not enough, they need to engage the audience on another level." I don't think many sentences can describe the work from Dave Kai Piper so well. Iconic photos as the "Flying Horse" and the "Ice Queen" have set DKP on his own path crossing form, function and an artistic motivation to create art with no linear ties. Deep rooted in the world of portraiture, inspired by Beaton, Burton and artists such as Tim Walker, DKP has ambition in the artworld. Currently involved writing for a number of photography magazines, running his own DKP brand of workshops, there is wider understanding of what photography is and can do.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Energy Costs
As wind energy is not generally cost-competitive with the thermal sources of electricity generation, the pattern of development has been largely dependent on the support mechanisms provided by national governments.
Wind costs have declined steadily and a typical installed cost for onshore wind farms is now around US$ 1 600/kW, and for offshore around US$ 2 400-3 000/kW. The corresponding electricity costs vary, owing partly to wind-speed variations and partly to differing institutional frameworks. Prices paid for wind-generated electricity are mostly in the range US$ 52-90/MWh (Milborrow, 2007) and at the lower end of this range are competitive with coal and gas.
A review of future costs by the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC, 2005) suggested that installed costs onshore in 2020 will lie between 55% and 92% of the 2001 level. Applying a cautious multiplier of 81% to the 2005 level suggests the 2020 level may be around US$ 1 250/kW. A more optimistic cost projection from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEA and Greenpeace, 2006) suggests US$
1 000/kW.
Offshore wind is less well developed, with worldwide capacity around 750 MW, but there are substantial plans in the pipeline. Two of the estimates in the Sustainable Development Commission report suggest installed costs by 2020 will be about 57% of the 2003 level.

- AFD is a program to automatically distribute files either locally or to remote hosts. The files are distributed by using FTP or SMTP, and can be sent in parallel and with priority. It provides a GUI to monitor and control the distribution and extensive logging of all activities.
- Adtool
- 'adtool' is a *nix command line utility for Active Directory administration. Its features include user and group creation, deletion, modification, password setting, directory query, and search capabilities.
- Alien
- 'alien' converts between the rpm, deb, Stampede slp, and Slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from a distribution different from the one installed on your system, 'alien' will convert it to your preferred package format and install it. However, 'alien' should not be used to replace important system packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the different distributions cannot be used interchangably.
- Alist
- Alist is a program that collects hardware and software information about systems and stores it in a database for users to browse and search via a Web interface. The program consists of three parts: a client portion that collects the information, a daemon that receives data sent from clients, and a CGI that displays and lets you search for information.
- Apt-torrent
- 'apt-torrent' contains an apt to the BitTorrent gateway. It lets you fetch packages through the BitTorrent protocol
- Apvsys
- 'apvsys' is a wrapper designed to manage different versions of applications (engineering tools, compilers, debuggers, etc.). It is not a source-code version control system like CVS or RCS. Users need only one path to access all versions of all tools; they can access a default version without any setting. The application settings needed to start a tool properly are centralized by the ApVSys administrator, so there is NO setting needed for the users. Hence, all the users share exactly the same environment, which greatly reduces the support needed.
- AutoCodeGenerator
- AutoCodeGenerator is a tool which is able to generate other programs that insert, delete, or update database records for a number of different database programs. Programs can be generated in Python, bash, ksh, Java, C, or other languages; the package also generates code for various database servers via a plain text file.
- AutoUpdate
- AutoUpdate is a simple Perl script which performs a task similar to Red Hat's up2date or autorpm. It can be used to automatically download and upgrade RPMs from different FTP sites. Moreover, it can also be used to keep a server with a customized (Red Hat) distribution plus all clients up to date. The program should work with any rpm based distribution. It's designed to run from a cron job and keep output to a minimum. It will try to resolve dependencies and pick the right architecture.
- Autodist
- 'Autodist' is a source distribution management system that lets users define what is included in and excluded from a distribution and what license is used. It is especially targeted at large software projects that create multiple distributions from a source tree. Autodist supports distribution management in directory, file, and file content level, and automatic relicensing of a distribution. Please note that Autodist is not a binary packaging system. It is specifically used to create source distributions. A binary packaging system, however can be hooked to the distribution creation process, if needed.
- Batchput
- 'Batchput' transfers files from a local directory, matching a specified regex, to an FTP server. It is mainly for transfering "incoming" files continually to another host by being called regularly from crontab or similar. It does this safely and efficiently by using per-directory locking to avoid collisions between different batchput processes, allowing configuration of notification in case of error, and moving transferred files to a local backup location where they can be archived or deleted.

Hello all, my name's Stonetribe. I'm searching for a new role playing forum due to a lot of unnecessary and tiring drama from the previous one I've been attending. So I apologize in advance if I don't stick around. I'd like to not dwell on that though. As for me, I'm not very athletic or much of a sports guy, but I used to do a bit of fencing with my brother. I haven't done that in awhile now, but I if I could convince him, I would like to have some sparing sessions with him. I'm also fond of gaming, particularly enjoying titles from Nintendo and Valve.
If there is anything I can say I feel strongly about, it would be bugs. Insects, Arachnids, Centipedes and Millipedes, Crustaceans and even things like Snails, Slugs and Leeches. I harbor a great respect for all of these creatures and have always found them endlessly fascinating and amazing. It won't come off as a surprise then, that it troubles me greatly when I see people step on and kill them for no reason other than the mere sake of it.

The lead attorneys for people and businesses suing BP over last year's Gulf oil spill want a federal judge to appoint a special master to oversee the claims process.
They said in court papers Monday that administrator Kenneth Feinberg has been too slow to process interim payments from the $20 billion fund that BP set up to compensate people who lost their livelihoods when crude oil gushed from BP's blown well. The payments are meant to tide people over until claims are settled.
The lawyers said BP and Feinberg's Gulf Coast Claims Facility have benefited from desperate victims who choose quick, one-time payments in exchange for promises not to sue. There was no immediate ruling by the court in New Orleans.
Last week, the Justice Department said an independent audit would be done to determine if claims are being processed appropriately.

With an eye toward his 2014 reelection effort, Gov. Rick Scott has tried to portray himself as a pal of teachers and families who rely on public education. He talks often about how he boosted education spending in 2012 and this year proposed giving teachers a $2,500 pay raise.
Not surprisingly, his Democratic foes emphasize different facts and figures about education spending — including how Scott oversaw a spending cut in 2011.
As Scott prepared to deliver his State of the State speech March 5, the Democrats "pre-butted" him with a press release the day before attacking his record on jobs, tax cuts and education.
"Scott, the hardcore tea party conservative who spent $5 million of his own money to defeat the Affordable Care Act and who slashed education funding by $1.3 billion, calling it not a ' core function' of the state, is now arguing for investments in education and the expansion of Medicaid under the president's healthcare law," wrote the Florida Democratic Party.
Education sounds like a fairly basic government service or a "core function." Did Scott call education not a "core function" of the state?
Scott and the word 'core'
To support their claim, Democrats pointed to a February 2011 article in Jacksonville's Florida Times-Union about Scott's first budget proposal, which called for steep cuts to much of the budget, including education, benefits for state workers, and state jobs.
The article quoted Scott at a Tallahassee press conference: "The public expects us to get back to what the core functions of the state are, not things that would be nice but we don't have the money for."
Florida Democratic Party spokesman Eric Conrad told PolitiFact Florida that Scott was talking about returning to the "core functions" of the state while also broadly cutting education.
"It's kind of hard to think he considers education to be a core function if he was cutting that much money from it," Conrad said.
But we found no place where Scott specifically mentioned education and said it was not a "core function" of government. Instead, Scott talked about the core functions of government in a much more general way, saying only core functions should receive funding.
Here are some excerpts from Scott's comments on core functions.
While unveiling his proposed budget at a tea party rally in Eustis on Feb. 7, 2011, Scott said, "The fact is that government has to get back to its core functions. But only its core functions."
Later in the speech, when talking about streamlining state agencies, Scott said: "And, by eliminating programs that are not core government functions, remember we are going to go back to what the core function is, not a lot of 'it would be nice to have,' just like, that's not what you get to do right now, we are going to go back to core functions, it will save us another $150 million over two years."
Scott did mention education in another part of his speech, saying that he would cut "over $4 billion in taxes over the next two years without any cuts out of state general revenue for education, zero cuts out of state general revenue for education." Actually, state funding for education shrank that year, as we noted in a 2011 fact-check.

NASCAR Notebook: Vacation didn't heal wounds in Gordon-Bowyer feud
Coincidentally, Bowyer and Gordon both vacationed in St. Bart's in the Caribbean, and both attended a New Year's Eve celebration on rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' yacht.By: By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service, Superior Telegram
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon were in the same place at the same time on New Year's Eve, but that doesn't mean there was a meeting of the minds between the feuding drivers.
After Thursday morning's Preseason Thunder test session at Daytona International Speedway, Bowyer side-stepped questions about the status of lingering hard feelings stemming from last November's crash at Phoenix, where Gordon freely acknowledged he wrecked Bowyer on purpose as payback for previous racing incidents.
Coincidentally, Bowyer and Gordon both vacationed in St. Bart's in the Caribbean, and both attended a New Year's Eve celebration on rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' yacht.
"I was on the damnedest boat you've ever seen in your life," Bowyer said when asked if he had run into Gordon — figuratively — during the party. "I'm from Kansas. We don't have big boats in Kansas. We don't have very big bodies of water, so I think he was on that same boat, but there was a lot of other people on there, and there was a big time being had.
"Yes, he was on there, and I think it was on the same island. I'm pretty sure he was on there. It was pretty late — put it that way."
Pressed as to whether he and Gordon had "bonded" during the vacation trip, Bowyer replied sarcastically, "Yeah, we held hands and walked on the boat and discussed the past year and enjoyed ourselves throughout the whole vacation.
"That was the one person that I definitely wanted to vacation with. I couldn't wait to get there for that very reason."
Asked how he and Bowyer ended up at the same party on the same boat, Gordon quipped, "The question is how he got on the yacht."
Gordon was equally coy about whether anything had been resolved.
"It was just an amazing event that P. Diddy had," said Gordon, who has been vacationing at St. Bart's for the past few years. "We were just hanging out, having a good time, and on walks Bowyer and (Kevin) Harvick and a couple of other folks…
"We talked. We talked — and I had a great New Year's."
Though she was third fastest in single-car runs in Thursday morning's test session, Danica Patrick said it's too early to establish specific metrics for her first full season of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing.
Nevertheless, she hopes NASCAR's new "Gen 6" race car will favor her driving style.
"It's a new year, it's a new car, and a lot of stuff changes," Patrick said between sessions. "So I'll be working full-time with (crew chief) Tony (Gibson) and the guys now, and I think everything changes a little bit, and you can never really know what to expect.
"I think we just need to get started on the season and get these first few races out of the way and start to create some baseline for what we're expecting and what we're shooting for."
Patrick reaffirmed what she had indicated earlier, that she will not try to run the Coca-Cola 600 Cup race and Indianapolis 500 on May 26
"I can confirm to you today that I will not be doing the Indy 500," Patrick said. "I'm just going to do the Coke 600. The team and I decided to focus on Cup. It's going to be plenty of work as it is, and it's going to be important for me — running for the championship full-time for the first time — to really keep myself focused with the Cup car.
"But if I do do the Indy 500 moving forward, it will be with (sponsor) GoDaddy."
Michigan native Brad Keselowski didn't have to travel far to Ford Motor Company, but he liked what he saw on a Monday visit to the Detroit auto maker.
Keselowski won the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship in a Dodge, even though Penske Racing had announced early in the year that the organization that fields Keselowski cars would switch to Ford between seasons.
Keselowski left his meeting with the Ford brass enthused by his prospects for 2013.
"The level of engagement from the very highest levels is remarkable," Keselowski said. "It shows the commitment that Ford has, and I have never experienced that before.
"That makes me feel very confident that, any bit of adversity or any hurdle we have to climb, we can do it, because we have a dedication of resources and top-notch people."
The transition to a new race car and new team didn't faze Matt Kenseth, who was fastest in Thursday's first test session at Daytona. Driving the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota after an offseason move from Roush Fenway Racing, Kenseth also posted the fastest 10-lap average during the morning session, running an average of 192.757 mph on his third through 12th laps.
As part of a four-car draft with fellow Toyota drivers Kyle Busch and Mark Martin, JGR teammates Denny Hamlin and Kenseth were 1-2 after lunch, with Hamlin posting the fastest lap of the day (195.712 mph) late in the session.
Multicar drafting was the exception rather than the rule on Thursday, however, as most teams concentrated on single-car runs.

Tigers top Pioneers; face Denison in second round
March 2, 2007
March 2, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - The ninth-ranked Tigers improved to 26-3 and advanced to the NCAA Division III second round following a 74-54 victory over visiting Transylvania. The Pioneers finished their season at 19-9 with the loss. DePauw advances to the second round where they face Denison. The Big Red defeated Hope by an 82-66 in the evening's first game.
DePauw never trailed in the game, but battled through a tight first half. After trailing by eight, the Pioneeres battled back to one at 26-25 on Jessica Hanson's layup with 1:25 left. Liz Bondi added a layup and Gretchen Haehl delivered a three-point play to push the Tigers' halftime lead to 31-25.
Suzy Doughty scored a couple of layups at the start of the second half and pushed the DePauw lead to double digits and eventually the Tigers stretched the margin to 18. Transylvania closed the gap to 13 on a couple of occasions, but the Tigers again pulled away for the win.
Haehl led DePauw with 18, while Liz Bondi and Cassie Pruzin each scored 10. Jenna Fernandez grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds as the Tigers held a 49-34 edge on the boards. Cindy Beavin led Transylvania with 12 points, while Julie Leach added a double-double of 10 points and 13 rebounds and Jessica Gilbert followed with 10.
DePauw shot just 38.8 percent from the field, but held the Pioneers to 30.2 percent. DePauw snagged 20 offensive rebounds which led to 14 second-chance points.
"We thought they (Transylvania) were really talented and knew it was going to be a battle," DePauw head coach Kris Huffman said.
Denison looked amazing, great depth, great team defense," Huffman said of Saturday's second-round opponent.
"They can hurt you many different ways offensively. They're very, very impressive."
"They're (DePauw) a deeper basketball team and they definitely picked it up offensively and defensively in the second half," Transylvania coach Greg Todd said.
"I thought we did a pretty good job in terms of defensively challenging shots."
Tickets for Saturday's second-round game go on sale at the Lilly Center at 6 p.m.

1. Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona, 2011
The Liga giants began to up the stakes in 2009, with everyone from club captain Xavi to then president Joan Laporta discussing Fabregas' increasingly inevitable transfer back to Camp Nou.

Yet the Blaugrana would be forced to wait another year to get their man, with Fabregas himself committing his immediate future to the Gunners during the window. Arsenal's resolve would not prove as strong 12 months down the line, however, as the player's protracted transfer was finally brought to a conclusion by Barcelona's £35 million bid.
