Editor's note: Mark Fischetti wrote the following article in 2000, shortly after completing his book, Weaving the Web, with Tim Berners-Lee. Scientific American.com is posting the article (unpublished until now) as CERN on March 13 celebrates the 20th anniversary of Berners-Lee's original proposal for the World Wide Web.
It is a cool morning in April 1999, and 1,500 computer scientists, university faculty, and industry CEOs are streaming into a vast fieldhouse at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, outside Boston. They grab coffee and seat themselves for a keynote speech that will cap the 35th anniversary celebration of M.I.T.'s Laboratory for Computer Science, the fount of so many creations that have driven the computer revolution.
From a makeshift stage, lab director Michael Dertouzos calls out, "We've had a great party! Now the man you've been waiting for: Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web." The crowd hushes and arches forward, for they know the name but not the man. Out from the shadows strides a sprightly 43-year-old Briton, smiling beneath a short crop of blond hair.
The large audience is excited, anticipating a breathless account of how the Web came to be. But they don't get it. Berners-Lee steps to the podium and delivers a sobering warning: The Web is not done. In fact, he says in measured words, it could self-destruct if the immense forces now buffeting it are not coordinated. Patents could prevent users from moving freely around the Web, killing the universal access to information the world now enjoys. Proprietary products could fragment the one big Web into smaller, rival webs, making it impossible to link information globally.
Furthermore, the crusader says, now in inspiring tones, he has a much grander vision. If advanced properly, the Web could powerfully bind people across geographic, ethnic, economic and political bounds, leading to a society in which cooperation, rather than conflict, is the agent of change. But it will require much more work.
The crowd is a bit bewildered. They wanted to revel in a finished Web. But its parent is telling them the Web is only in adolescence, and an unruly one at that. It needs concerted guidance if it is to reach its full potential.
Berners-Lee reverently walks to the steps at the left side of the stage. Suddenly, Dertouzos bounds up the stairs and puts a body-block on him, effective since Dertouzos is a robust 6-foot-4 and Berners-Lee a trim 5-foot-10. Berners-Lee stands paralyzed in disbelief. Bob Metcalfe, himself a computing pioneer and founder of 3Com Corp., appears at a microphone at stage right. He announces that 3Com has committed $2 million to fund the 3Com Founder's Chair, the first chair at M.I.T. for a researcher rather than a professor. Berners-Lee will be the first to hold it.
Several 3Com board members carry forward a black mahogany chair and place it front and center before the crowd. Berners-Lee, with a blush of embarrassment, walks toward the chair. He circles it slowly, silently, peering at it like a curious mime inspecting an odd, fallen object. He gingerly sits down. Still silent, Berners-Lee looks up at the audience with wide-open eyes, throws his arms wide, and loudly proclaims, "It's a chair!" The place erupts with glee. In two minutes Berners-Lee has leapt from the deadly serious to the deadpan. His mischievous antic is meant to convey, in his wry way, that even when honored one shouldn't take oneself too seriously.
Berners-Lee leaves the stage happy and talkative. He shakes hands with well-wishers. Yet he has an anxious eye toward the exit. He wants to get back to the World Wide Web Consortium at the lab, a group of 55 staffers who coordinate 345 member companies and government bodies from around the world, ranging from Microsoft to the Department of Defense. It is there, as director, that Berners-Lee brings his personal vision to bear on recommended technical standards to improve the Web. Important issues are being resolved, and today there is contention. Throughout the Web's wild growth, Berners-Lee has been the one constant, the one anchor in a storm of activity.
Tim Berners-Lee has remained unknown to the public because he has never gotten rich or famous from the Web. He likes money just fine, but is driven by his larger dream. Every dot.com millionaire, every person who's found a nugget of information searching the Web, owes a debt to Berners-Lee, but he's not looking to collect or be lionized. "I'm happy to let others play the role of royalty," the ego-free inventor says. "Just as long as they don't try to control the Web."
Berners-Lee is the son of two computing pioneers who were part of a Manchester University team that developed the first commercial electronic computer, sold by Ferranti Ltd. At their London dinner table, father and mother showed the joy of solving mathematical problems to young Tim. He built his own mock computer out of cardboard boxes. When coming home from high school one day, he found his father writing a speech on how computers, eventually, might make intuitive connections the way the human brain does. The challenge stayed rooted in Berners-Lee's own brain.
After obtaining a physics degree, and several stints as a software engineer, in 1984 Berners-Lee took a programming job at CERN, the mammoth high-energy physics lab in Geneva that straddles the Franco-Swiss border. It was difficult for him to keep track of CERN's 5,000 scientists from far-flung countries, their interrelated projects, and their incompatible computers. So in his spare time he wrote experimental programs to help him remember the connections. He learned about hypertext, a programming scheme that allows readers to jump between documents on a computer. He also learned about the Internet, a vast matrix of telephone and networking wires that linked computers. It had become popular among academics and researchers for sending e-mail, but was difficult for non-computer experts to use.

I had a good look through 400 or 500 post and there're a few thing I'm not to clear on. When you run the apup and it does the download does it download all the updates you could need for a fresh install or does it scan the pc it is currently running on and only download what that pc needs.
1 if it downloads all update on offer that would be great for updating any pc from disc at any time.
2 if it downloads only what the pc needs that would mean the first time you use it. It would need to be on a fresh install so you could get all the updates.
Could anyone tell me how it works
how it works

Intel released its latest performance-segment processor, the Core i7-2700K. The i7-2700K is a quad-core chip in the LGA1155 package, based on the 32 nm "Sandy Bridge" silicon. It is clocked at 3.50 GHz, and features an unlocked base clock ratio multiplier, which makes overclocking possible. It features AVX instruction set, AES native acceleration, HyperThreading (which enables 8 logical CPUs), 256 KB L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. Apart from these, it packs a dual-channel DDR3 integrated memory controller, PCI-Express root complex, and Intel HD 3000 series integrated graphics. The TDP remains consistent with many other Core i5 and Core i7 "Sandy Bridge" chips, at 95W. An interesting development here is that the pricing of Core i7-2700K didn't turn out to be what Amazon and MWave were charging for their pre-orders (around US $380), the retail price of this chip is merely $15 higher than that of the Core i7-2600K, at $332. Source: CPU World
So what's the benefit compared to 2600K since both are unlocked therefore anybody who buys them will eventually overclock?
I am thinking one of two things: 1.) These are cherry-picked chips, like the 990x and are virtually guaranteed 5.0Ghz on air. 2.) It's a money grab from Intel. They foresaw Bulldozer failing and decided to release a chip identical to the 2600k but for more money, knowing the average consumer won't know the difference and will pay extra for the 2700k. I wish there was at least something more to the 2700k, like 2MB more cache.
For the average user, this is jsut s small speed bump, supposed to be for small cost. For the overclocker, this means that the 2600k is now obsolete, as the higher-binned chips will now become 2700Ks. That also means that perhaps the spread of multis available in each bin will diminish. For Intel, it means higher profit margins.
What are you guys on about. The stepping hasn't changed. These won't overclock any better or worse on average. It's the 920/930 all over again, minus the 930 having a multi advantage.
Intel has conveniently done the cherry picking of the higher efficiency, 'higher quality', higher performance 2600Kchips for you and is charging you a bit more money and rebranding the chip as the 2700K. So now, people who couldn't be bothered, or couldn't afford, to buy a half dozen or dozen 2600K's and bin them can get a similar quality, uber-overclockable binned cpu without the hassle. Convenient. And now there will be no 'diamond in the rough' 2600K's, because they'll be clocked at 3.5 and branded as 2700K's.
What factoid has given people the impression Intel will be binning these higher? It hasn't been that long since 1366. There's no reason for everyone to forget how this goes.
WSell not quite but yeah I guess. Hey intel gota crazy idea.. put your 12EU GPUs into CPUs that people will buy that do not intend to overclock and leave the lame IGP stuff for hte 2500K and 2600K and 2700K units.Setups that people have NO intenetion of using IGP for.
I think it's foresight. Having two chips within 100MHz of each other and just $15 cost difference makes one chip redundant. I think maybe the 2600k will slowly disappear from the shelves and the 2700k will be the one left. Similar to the i7 920 and 930 as mentioned above. It makes no commercial sense for two models so close to each other.
Doesnt this mean that 2700K is little more power efficient? Of course those cips come from the same manufacturing line, but i guess they are sorted by their quallity. Ok, right now it is kind a invisible (too minor clock speed bump), but lets suppose intel released 2900K 4Ghz chip. Same 95W tdp. To me it seems that those 2900K would be (cherry) picked 2600Ks, with better thermals. Where i am wrong?
Not necessarily no, when TDP is quoted is quoted at the max TDP for that chip so it will more than likely be slightly lower though not more than. There's nothing to suggest that 2700k's will be higher binned at all, infact it is more likely they are the same silicone with a small 100mhz bump which could be done on any SB chip at stock volts.
Which would suggest they will be phasing out the 2600k in favour of this 2700k as opposed to keeping both chips so close in performance and cost. And Intel aren't forcing anyone to buy this over a 2600k, so you can save that $15 if you like
I just consider that new silicon isn`t reasonable upgrade for current 2600K users, man. Takes just few mouse clicks
What makes you think this is aimed at 2600k users as an upgrade?? it's clearly not and only aimed at people who are building a new SB rig. I would also imagine it will hold it's resell value slightly better than the 2600k just because it's "the fastest" SB chip and the average user ie: not anyone on here, will just look at the number 2700 vs 2600 regardless of the 100mhz difference.
I dont think 2600Kers even need any upgrade for now. Let`s see what Ivy will bring to us - that`s could be the probable path for them. Also 15 bux price diff is Intel`s recommended, when buying batch of 1000 chips. In reality it`ll be higher @ stock. P.S. Nor 2500Kers need any upgrades, using rig maily for gaming. )
This is what I'm wondering about. The 2600K should disappear quite quickly. And anyway, SB-E is out mid-November, which will shake up everything, so I'd wait until then before buying anything. I'm looking to upgrade my system, so I'm holding on too (impatiently).
NOT AN UP GRADE. THIS IS FOR NEW ADOPTERS and those who were underwhelmed by.....not going to say name or initals.... if u were.... if the average user was going to get a sb rig and had to choose between 2600k or 2700k. For 15 bones(price of a meal at mc donalds). They'll prob go 2700k. Maybe intel really learned something by keeping Prices this low....or their going to drop kick us with sbe
Finally, someone was thinking in this thread! 99% of 2600k's will do 3.5Ghz with no bump in Vcore. So I highly doubt these are binned at all. WTF do you eat at mcdonalds? I can get out of there, and Im a hell of an eater, for $7 or less. Its too bad the 930 actually clocked WORSE than most 920's (D0).
Married. Farther of 2. Who Gota get the latest happy meal toys.... thinking in. Terms for the whole family

This from the LSU Strength coach. Can we hire him?

This from the LSU Strength coach. Can we hire him?
Notice who is not on this list? Barkevious Mingo, Kevin Minter, and Eric Reid.
how about a former LSU defensive back?
bigrob- you seem to be up on college players. Where do you rank the honey badger?
seems like he could bring some takeaway skills the steelers desperately need.
Something tells me that if this kid can't keep his nose clean enough to stay active on a super competitive LSU squad (tell me they don't tend to overlook any trouble from super talented players as much as possible) he is likely to be a character problem at the next level, especially after he starts getting those NFL checks. You never know if he will be a Warren Sapp (checkered past who stayed on the straight and narrow _enough_ in the NFL) or the next Pacman Jones (who took years and years to finally stay out of trouble) or worse, like a Lawrence Phillips, who threw crazy talent away.
Sam Montgomery's name being on there is interesting...dude is projected to be a possible 1st round pick.
Sam Montgomery plays hard during games. He often looked like a better player than Mingo this season. However, this is very interesting stuff. This is the sort of information that we normally lack, but scouts and teams have. This is why supposed top 10 picks fall.

Diggin' the fact Senate Candidate Carmona invoked high profile attorney and Libertarian Marc Victor against Jeff Flake hypocrisy
Thursday, September 27th, 2012I'm diggin' the fact that Senate Candidate Richard Carmona invoked high profile attorney and Libertarian Marc Victor against Jeff Flake!
I met Libertarian Senate Candidate Marc Victor and was impressed to find out what some of his views were — especially as it relates to Mexico. To my pleasant surprise, I was happy to hear how Richard Carmona addressed Jeff Flake's hypocrisy with Libertarian Marc J. Victor. Additionally, many people don't know this, but both Carmona and Victor are veterans of our Armed Forces so both individuals put their money where their mouths are when it comes to the Love of our Nation.
Richard Carmona Advertisement Uses Marc Victor against Jeff Flake
I think my readers know by now how much I appreciate Richard Carmona for U.S. Senate because he has a bipartisan record and views. Jeff Flake does not. On the other hand, I like Libertarian Marc Victor, too, because he spanks Jeff Flake's hypocrisy on trade relationships with Mexico.
Indeed Marc Victor explains why Arizona is lagging in business export growth to Mexico here. Marc Victor's views against Jeff Flake are similar to the former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson's views as it relates to Mitt Romney. Indeed, the way the Republican Party treated Gary Johnson was uncalled for and this explains the mass exodus of folks who are leaving the antiquated and old thinking GOP. They are becoming extinct. Mitt Romney and the GOP lost the favor of the fastest growing demographic in the nation via Mexican-Americans with their restrictionist, protectionist, bigotry and hostility towards Latinos.
Marc states:
I have my ideas on why Arizona has suffered economically, and Arizona has suffered economically due to restrictionist and protectionist career politicians like Jeff Flake.
According to Latintelligence:
Mexico also is a friendly source of oil, O'Neil noted. It's the United States' third largest supplier behind Canada and Saudi Arabia, according to the U.S. Energy
Information Administration.
"So keeping our lights on and our cars going depend today much on Mexico," she said.
Since the two countries share a border, they also share the problems and responsibilities of regulating the environment, preventing drug trafficking and maintaining security.
Every president of Mexico has had a different take on U.S. relations, but all of the top contenders in the current race have indicated they will work with the United States, said O'Neil.
The economy in Mexico is recovering faster than the United States. Helping transform Mexico's economy is a growing middle class, she said. View a chart of GDP growth in both countries:
"Thirty-plus years ago, Mexico was a commodity-driven, oil-driven, inward-looking economy," said O'Neil. "Today it is a manufacturing and services-based economy, export-led with a focus on the U.S. market and that is fundamentally different than just a few decades ago."
Partly because of Mexico's economic growth, immigration between the two countries has slowed to a net zero last year. The slowdown also can be attributed to a demographic shift in Mexico in the last several years, O'Neil said. "There are fewer Mexicans turning eighteen and looking for jobs than there were in the past. And more and more Mexicans are staying in school longer and investing in their future and investing in their skills. So they're not leaving the country. They're not thinking about going abroad at fifteen or sixteen anymore, they're staying in school."
Mexico is becoming an increasingly urban society as well, said O'Neil. "So the old days of a campesino (peasant) wearing a sombrero riding a burro—it's a reality for a few Mexicans now, but very few. It's a more urban society. And that's a total transformation from back in the fifties or sixties."
Helping drive the current conditions is a transformed government. "There are still problems with corruption, accountability and transparency—in particular at the state level," she said. "But it also is a democracy. They're about to have elections that almost everywhere in the world people think are going to be free and fair. And that's something new."

Fetsy wrote:I replaced the stock fan today with this fan:
The silenX fans aren't exactly famous for pushing lots of air, but in exchange for a bit hotter disk I now have a quiet NAS. I have one 1TB Samsung disk that with the stock fan kept a stable 32°c. With the SilenX fan, on minimum 2000RPM, it keeps a stable 36°c .
This fan seems to handle the job well when there is only one disk inside the cabinet, but I am not sure whether it would provide enough air to cool two disks down.
Has anyone tried using a Papst fan?
Spring is here in Paris and temps are raising...
And I've decided to make the move and switch from the stock Fan to the SilenX. No more noisy ReadyNAS Duos but very bad idea : I'm getting almost a +10°C on previous HDD temps, cruising very close to max Ambient Operationnal temps specified by HDD manufacturers (60°C). 2 HHDs per Duos, see my signature.
Equivalent or better CFM is a must have!

Although most people are already thinking fall as football season arrives and the temperatures have finally broken slightly, summer hasn't really wrapped up yet. Being September, we've still got a few weeks of warm weather left, and what has become one of my favorite local music festivals of the year is still at hand.
If you haven't made the hour's drive out to Chandler for the Stone River Music Festival, you've missed out on one of the crown jewels of our local music scene. While Easter Island is always fun and a great way to kick off the season, Stone River has proven to be one of the most relaxing and laid back festivals I've attended to date. Whether or not that was the intention, I'm not sure, but it's certainly the by-product of a festival that is run by and populated with a close circle of family and friends.
If you're not familiar with the festival or its background, it got its start in 2010 as Dustin Pittsley and some friends discussed the possibility of doing something on the land that his parents owned. After gauging interest and getting a positive response, efforts were made to clear the land, create a stage and generally prepare the land for an influx of campers and musicians. As Pittsley described it, his father turned 40 acres into what feels like a national park.
Although that may sound like a stretch, it's not. The first thing I did after finding my camping spot last year was head out on a long walk to explore the land. The 40 acres are a beautiful mix of cleared land, forest area and walking trails that opened up a beautiful Oklahoma sunset.
Of course, it was all prepared to accommodate the festival and everything is in place to do that appropriately. Not only is the stage and listening area well established now and surrounded by a variety of arts, crafts and food vendors, as well as a general store, there are also three separate camping areas: one secluded and quiet, one more open and festive, and a third, where the bands tend to camp and congregate, that stays alive well into the wee hours of the morning with music and conversation.
The whole thing is family run and family friendly, with an eclectic mix of music fans that matches the mix of music and musicians. When asking how the festival developed, Vicki Pittsley (Dustin's mom) said "Jeff Martinson and Dustin asked if they could do something and we said sure. We didn't expect it to turn into something like this, but the family really got behind it and made it happen."
Even as the festival has grown and stretched out into its third year, it has still retained that family vibe. Run primarily by the Pittsley family with a few close friends and volunteers, everything feels close knit and comfortable, including the mix of bands.
Year over year, the mix of participating bands hasn't changed much, but that's because after helping establish the festival, Pittsley gave those that played previously an option to return and almost everyone wanted to come back and repeat the experience. Fortunately, that's not a bad thing as it provides an eclectic mix of acts that touches on a variety of styles without feeling like more of the same all weekend long.
Stone River Music Festival returns for its third year this weekend and runs from Friday evening, September 21 thru Sunday afternoon, September 23. Gates open at 5pm on Friday and the music starts at 7pm, with a lineup that fills the weekend with a variety of artists and styles.
Friday evening opens up with Klondike 5 String Band at 7pm, followed by the Big O Show at 8pm, Desi & Cody at 9pm and Travis Fite at 11pm, with the 10pm spot still to be decided. Music is only scheduled until midnight, but don't be surprised if it extends later with an extended jam session with Pittsley and other jumping on stage.
Saturday afternoon is traditionally more laid back and this year is no different, with an acoustic vibe carrying the early part of the day with Cory Morin opening the day at noon, followed by Steve Lidell at 1:20pm, Don White at 2:40pm and Travis Linville at 4pm.
Linville provides an easy transition into the evening lineup as Red Dirt Rangers take the stage at 5:20pm, followed by Brad James Band at 6:40pm, Wink Burcham at 8pm, Dustin Pittsley Band at 9:20pm, Randy Crouch at 10:40pm and Paul Benjaman Band at Midnight. Once Crouch takes the stage, however, all bets are off and I'll expect the rest of the night to run late in an extended session as he invites a variety of musicians on stage to join him.
Although Amber Pittsley (Dustin's wife) does a great job of keeping everything running on time, that's part of the charm and joy of the weekend: All of the musicians are friends, which gives the entire weekend a family and community feel. As a result, even though they do well at keeping to the schedule, things are still left open enough to allow for improvisation and when a jam session breaks out, they let it flow. After all, that's really what the weekend is about anyway, right?
If you're looking for a great way to wrap up your summer, Stone River Music Festival is one of your best options. Located roughly and hour west of Tulsa, 2.5 miles north of I-44 on Highway 18, the festival is far enough away to feel like you've escaped from your week, yet close enough to not feel exhausted when you return. Primitive camping is allowed on the site and it's a family friendly event, with children 10 and under admitted free with a paid adult.
Tickets are only $30 for the entire weekend if paid in advance via ticketstorm.com or the Stone River website with a $35 admission fee at the gate. Directions, more details and a full schedule can be found online at stonerivermusicfestival.com. Do your best to escape for the weekend and take this one in: I can promise from personal experience, you won't be disappointed.
