Post subject: history of PHP
PHP is a scripting language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages. It has evolved to include a command line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications.
While PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, the main implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification.
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. It generally runs on a web server, taking PHP code as its input and creating web pages as output. It can be deployed on most web servers and on almost every operating system and platform free of charge. PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers.PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page. It began in 1994 as a set of Common Gateway Interface binaries written in the C programming language by the Danish/Greenlandic programmer Rasmus Lerdorf. Lerdorf initially created these Personal Home Page Tools to replace a small set of Perl scripts he had been using to maintain his personal homepage. The tools were used to perform tasks such as displaying his résumé and recording how much traffic his page was receiving. He combined these binaries with his Form Interpreter to create PHP/FI, which had more functionality. PHP/FI included a larger implementation for the C programming language and could communicate with databases, enabling the building of simple, dynamic web applications. Lerdorf released PHP publicly on June 8, 1995 to accelerate bug location and improve the code.
Hosting PHP applications on a server requires a careful and constant attention to deal with these security risks. There are advanced protection patches such as Suhosin and Hardening-Patch, especially designed for web hosting environments. Installing PHP as a CGI binary rather than as an Apache module is the preferred method for added security.
PHP only parses code within its delimiters. Anything outside its delimiters is sent directly to the output and is not parsed by PHP. The most common delimiters are <php>, which are open and close delimiters respectively. <script> and </script> delimiters are also available. PHP includes free and open source libraries with the core build. PHP is a fundamentally Internet-aware system with modules built in for accessing FTP servers, many database servers, embedded SQL libraries such as embedded PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite, LDAP servers, and others. Many functions familiar to C programmers such as those in the stdio family are available in the standard PHP build. PHP has traditionally used features such as "magic_quotes_gpc" and "magic_quotes_runtime" which attempt to escape apostrophes (') and quotes (") in strings in the assumption that they will be used in databases, to prevent SQL injection attacks. This leads to confusion over which data is escaped and which is not, and to problems when data is not in fact used as input to a database and when the escaping used is not completely correct

Before you can understand what PHP and PHP web hosting is, you need to have a basic understanding of who invented PHP what the features of PHP are. This article from Best PHP Web Hosting will guide you through the PHP history and the future of PHP.
was invented in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf. At this time, Lerdorf had already written the original Common Gateway Interface binaries so he had a background in the web design business. When Lerdorf created PHP, or Personal Home Page, his main objective was to replace a small amount of Perl scripts that he had interfaced into his own personal website in order to analyze traffic on his site. It wasn't too long after Lerdorf created PHP that he was proclaiming it as the fastest and most user friendly tool in website development.
In the middle of 1998, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans began to rewrite the syntactic analysis of the original PHP. Their work was soon released to the public and known as PHP 3. In addition to releasing PHP 3, Suraski and Gutmans changed the language's name to recursive initialism PHP. Suraski and Gutmans didn't stop modifying PHP after the release of PHP 3. They soon began working on a new core for PHP and eventually developed the Zend Engine.
With the addition of Zend Engine 1.0, PHP 4 was released in May 2000 with great success. The success didn't stop the PHP inventors from continuing their improvement of PHP. Although it took about 4 years to release PHP 5, it was well worth the wait. PHP 5 was much improved and powered by the newly created Zend Engine II. Not only was the addition of Zend Engine II new, but PHP 5 feature several other features. Those features include a much improved support program for object oriented programming, PHP date object extensions, and many enhancements to improve the overall performance of PHP.
While PHP 5 is currently the only PHP version that is still under development, the founders of PHP released an update to PHP 4 in 2008. That update dealt with the code branch of PHP 4. This is the last update for the PHP 4 version. As mentioned earlier, PHP 5 is still being worked on. One of the PHP features that is going to be changed in the updated version of PHP 5 is the addition of late static binding. This version still won't have Unicode support, but PHP 6 should contain that. PHP 6 will also feature the removal of ereg extensions, and improved MIME support and capabilities.

Hai guys..
Thanks for your such a great valuable post..
PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor and is a programming language which is used for writing web applications, from ordinary web page to full blog or forum. Being a server-side scripting language PHP runs on the web server, unlike the client-side languages which run on the web browser, and gives you a lot of possibilities other programming languages cannot.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which mainly used for dynamic Web applications. As a scripting language PHP code needs the presence of the PHP processor. It is an open source technology so it can run with most operating systems or Web servers.

-- The Beatles.
-- you remember Elizabeth Warren the Massachusetts Democrat running against senator Scott Brown she came under fire for claiming minority status based on her native American Heritage would it turns out she's 132.
That's like half a big tell.
She insisted she -- uses to get a job although we're not years she was herself as a minority and a director of law professors at Harvard Law School easier to tout their diversity when asked about it warrants campaign accused Scott Brown -- sexism and -- herself claimed.
That's only touted her -- it -- meet people.
Think direct Terry.
All I was listed in the directory.
Fault because I -- -- my cell.
Way quick stop it you know it was a long time ago but mostly I was listed -- -- I fall -- I -- might be invited.
To all -- meetings where I might meet more people.
Who would run out -- -- I had grown up and it turned out that's there really wasn't any of that so that was that.
-- -- Now according to Michael Patrick -- right part dot com it turns out that Warren's great great great grandfather.
Was actually a member of the militia that -- -- cherokees from their homes is part of the trail of tears back at 1837.
So it turns out the oppressed may really be the oppressor.
Warning your victim status has been revoked here's my question where's the media and all of this imagine a politician who condemns gay marriage and then -- out it is gave the media would bury him under his own hypocrisy.
How was -- any different years after opportunity to be something she's not I can only hope that liberals on afternoon chat shows -- Bob who can damn America for its treatment of native Americans will also -- -- ancestors.
And demanded she leave the race lastly.
What does warning translate into Cherokee asked spreading people.
-- -- first of all if she's right and it helps you meet people emotional 400 -- you.
Chief city big bowl -- and I'd like to welcome any -- full of -- Yeah.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- gonna talk a little systems like I -- you know the issue -- actually killed by the median dash users -- -- she'd be getting ripped them yeah the other side.
I think in fairness or at least not to mention she'd been dogged by the state for three weeks now I wanna point out that we did aren't we were contacted her -- Camp odds at to see you -- -- to -- our -- I think you.
Unease over racist let's rock -- -- are paying or can't tap -- -- and the judge threw the -- there.
To refute these -- -- and they.
They -- responded.
No mistake about it these -- yeah.
Because that's your question.
He -- it -- however I -- -- and let's get.
Why have they responded.
They haven't responded -- don't we just goes away.
And I feel that way about you sometimes.
Brittle I didn't say that that Iraq it's not the checking the box -- the crime.
Yet it was the cover up its own -- the lives that their story changed five times and it's the little things that can get you in that race like this and Scott Brown -- the incumbent even though like probably was the underdog.
Maybe you a couple of got it now and now I think that he will I think -- -- I think this added that he's not right to shoot eighty.
Yet you like -- Lindsay she -- these Yahoo! CEO who admitted I guess yesterday via that he lied on his -- I now you know.
-- whatever you make mistakes but but doesn't it that's the way you look glimpsed in reading -- about -- all driver's license about his height.
What that awful lie about 132 jerky this unless you're -- -- -- but we don't know for certain state insulted by -- smirk still ahead well.
That is not activating guard Eric feature editor is there were more like an annulment of an Apache but I had little puppy being too hot hot hot hot.
And so it I'll be in Central Park tonight and -- Isn't -- not love dogs and be native American.
That's right he's not match dot com and by the way -- -- human apology.
-- get a -- I didn't say something that I do you think ultimately in the long run we talk about this earlier that.
This is get a benefit you know brown because he's going to be able to sit look at this -- what about credibility is here isn't she but just for the record we don't know that she's not 132 -- -- there's a picture on the mantle going way back in -- family with them.
I all of us I mean really at this -- in and that act if you go back that far we're all part of the same I actually -- -- Cherokee.
-- -- that now is that anyone in park on the so locked thank you might ask like why are why are you doing this clinic found mobile why am I guess what else he -- Okay Greg when daddy your -- -- you get slams more now I'm that your big whale.
-- now you're trying to.
Yeah well done well this is fully.
Coming up a federal judge suggesting cutting the ten commandments down to six can you guess which ones he wants to -- I removed -- shall be kind to Dana Perino.

Stoplights on Mayfair Road developing timing patterns
Issue: A reader wants to know if the stoplights at the intersections of Mayfair Road and North Avenue and Mayfair Road and Burleigh were re-timed after the construction on Mayfair Road. She said the wait time seems to be much longer.
Status: Bill Wehrley, city engineer, told me that the Department of Transportation is still tweaking the timing.
He said the lights are now on an adaptive system that takes readings from the pavement and makes real-time decisions on timing. He explained that the system is building data now and will tweak the timing as it develops more data.

Absolutely Fantastic!
I love these shoes! I am used to wearing flip flops most of the time so when I have to wear closed-toe shoes I want them to be roomy and comfortable. And these shoes are just that! I purchased my normal size so I did not have to go up a size or anything. I have worn them with my capris or jeans - they look great with both. These shoes are for anyone who wants comfort and some style. :)

Hi guys, i need your suggestion. i'm looking to buy a new monitor and i don't understand which one to pick. I will use it like 8 hours+ a day, 40% gaming, 30% internet/youtube/film, 30% photos. It will be driven by a Geforce gtx580 i was thinking about the benq gw2460 or the gw2460hm (didn't understand the difference between the 2) http://www.benq.com/product/monitor/...specifications what do u think about it ?other models ?suggestion ? another question: i'm planning of upgrading it to a triple monitor setup as soon as i buy a second gtx580, if i want smaler screen as wings is the 17" or the 19" the ones that fits best with a 24" middle screen ? thanks
Here is a selection to choose from: http://modculture.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/07/20/keracolor.jpg "all round" you said.
As for the two: The HM, is a hdmi set up with headphone jack and line in... Me personally.. I love my Viewsonic 24in led monitor As for the 2nd question I would, if I was going smaller screens, grab the 19's and panel view both. That way whatever you are looking at, via web, chat, will be to the side, of you and taking up less space.
My vote is Dell U2412M. IPS, so excellent for photos and such, decent for gaming too. There's quite a few TPU members with this monitor now, haven't heard a single bad thing about it. Low power usage too, better than some older or off-brand IPS panels. My 3008WFP uses 250W...this one uses 24W.
A few here in the office, they are great. http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/549457/Dell-UltraSharp-U2412M-24-LED-LCD/ $320

thx for the replies but i don't know if the gamer in me wants to go with an IPS pannel. not that i have to do pro gaming or etournaments but when i play i like to play some FPS and i know that IPS pannels are not indicated for this. on the other hand when i play with my photos or watch a movie i don't want the immage quality of a TN pannel, not that i don't like the one that i have (samsung t220hd) but i want to go further. thats why i've thought about this "new" VA monitors (new for me) ! why the benq ?just because i've read the news last week so do u think i'm doing it right or will TN or IPS fit for me ? any other VA monitor suggestion ?
I use my home computer for about 80% gaming and I use an IPS monitor. After using an IPS monitor for some time I find no reason NOT to use an IPS monitor for gaming. They are superior to TN panels. There is no ghosting, no input lag, no issues.
Used to be that way, but current technology is much different. That's why I mentioned that many here @ TPU have one, since most users here play games fairly often it seems. I wondered about that as well, since I started with IPS with 3007WFP, and although many reviews indicated this monitor induced heavy lag, I found the revision that I got, with different specs, had no issues at all, since there is no scaler built into the panel. It eventually developed problems, and Dell replaced with the 3008WFP. This monitor... it did induce a bit of noticeable lag, by only when compared to the 3007..my other TN panels were actually worse. Now, these U2412M, they are very cheap.. they are not the high-end IPS models. they do not do 10-bit color, and do not have built-in scaling hardware, so do not pose those "lag" issues. The higher-model 10-bit IPS panels have S-Video, component, VGA, 2xDVI, HDMI, DisplayPort... and have scaling hardware because of the S-video and component, and those models do have a bit of lag, but not much, since tech in that department has advanced as well. So, today, you get really good 60 Hz IPS, and 120 HZ TN panels, where before it was laggy IPS, and 60 Hz TN. If you can afford IPS..DO IT!!!!
even my LG 226V is a capable gaming monitor for a lower priced IPS screen. Very happy with it for over 6 months
uhm, seems i have to look at some IPS monitors now. but still i'm not totaly convinced other good ips monitor apart from the U2412M ?
I don't myself. I am hooked with Dell, since they have awesome warranty locally, and ZERO dead pixel policy on UltraSharp panels. Be warned though...once you go IPS...you'll never go back.
I use this one mainly for gaming and so far have no problems, and if i was to upgrade i would go for Samsung again. 24" Samsung SM2433BW Black Widescreen LCD, 1920x1200

We're giving away 20 copies of Thinking in New Boxes by Luc De Brabandere and Alan Iny, thanks to our friends at Random House. Sign up over on KnowledgeBlocks to win!
"Boxes can include, among many other things, ideas, approaches, philosophies, tactics, theories, patterns, and strategies. Every human idea can be expressed and/or interpreted through numerous mental models, or "boxes." Your brain constantly uses boxes–and cannot do otherwise–to make it possible to cope with and process reality. The world confronts us with an infinite array of people, places, and objects; we use patterns and systems to simplify these, and categories to organize them."
As a result…
"Just telling someone to avoid conventional thinking is like telling them not to drive on the highway, without giving them any information on which roads to take instead–or whether they should consider flying or going by train."
Thinking in New Boxes provides us with an approach to work within our boxes, but not be limited by them. It is a fun and enlightening exploration of how we think and how endless the creative possibilities truly are.

Who are the poachers?
How the Program Works
The information is evaluated by the law enforcement personnel. Investigations are begun immediately and must follow the same rules and constitutional guidelines as any law enforcement investigation;
If a poacher is arrested or issued a citation on the basis of information provided by a caller, a reward is authorized;
Rewards can be paid in cash and the pay-off is arranged to protect the anonymity of the caller;
Rewards will be paid only if the informant states that a reward is desired prior to any investigation. Actually, most wildlife enthusiasts don't want a reward -- they just want the criminals stopped!
Please Help Stop Poaching
Does it work?
What to look for
Provide all the information you can. We need the violation date and time; as exact a location as possible; a description of the violation; number of shots heard; type of weapon, etc; the number of suspects; names and/or identifying features such as age, height, hair color, clothes, etc; a vehicle description including type, year, color and license number. Include any other information you think may be pertinent to the case.
If you know how a poached animal is being transported, or where it is being stored, tell us.
Remember, try to get the information to us as soon as possible. Any delay may mean we might not catch the bad guys!
You can also help by contributing
People who turn in poachers may receive preference points or even licenses in some cases. Find out more from the Turn in Poachers (TIP) program.

Re: Should taxpayers subsidize hydro costs for mines?
No! An emphatic no.
While writer Jim Wentworth points out that Abacus will be paying US$16.5 million a year for power, what he doesn't mention is that they won't be paying an additional $25.5 million a year for free power. We will.
If, as he says, KGHM Ajax (I wish they wouldn't keep changing their name), or Abacus is estimating a profit of $8 billion over 23 years ($347.8 million per year), perhaps they should pay for their own hydro costs and only make $322.3 million per year.
And if that's not enough for them to get by on, perhaps they should leave it in the ground until it gets more valuable.

AMD's product manager for desktop graphics products Devon Nekechuk, in an interview with Japanese publication 4Gamer.net, revealed that his firm won't be launching any new Radeon GPUs in 2013, and that the company would instead play out the year on its current Radeon HD 7000 series' performance, with price adjustments and possible performance increments through driver updates. In a slide released to 4Gamers.net, AMD pointed that its Radeon HD 7900 series (high-end), HD 7800 series (performance), and HD 7700 series (mainstream), will carry on the company's mantle "throughout 2013." This announcement is indication that GPU makers have decided to slow things down from the streak of rapid new GPU launches that lasted from some time around 2007, running up to 2012, which can be heavily taxing in terms of R&D costs for either companies. We know for sure that NVIDIA is clearing its backlog of consumer GPU development by releasing the GeForce GTX "Titan" graphics card in a couple of weeks' time, and we know from older reports that NVIDIA could launch a "refreshed" GeForce Kepler lineup, that largely retains the GeForce Kepler silicon while topping up with subtle changes (clock speeds, software features that don't involve redesigning the silicon, etc.,) but AMD coming out in the open with this announcement could change everything. NVIDIA has the opportunity to save a few coins by sticking to its current lineup (plus the upcoming GTX "Titan,") and responding to competition from AMD by price-adjustments and timely driver optimizations of its own. Source: 4Gamer.net
I too am ok with this for reasons people are stating above and below me here. I might consider upgrading every generation if I was biannual.
also i did try the witcher 2 at ultra with ubersampling at 1080p on my 7970 stock clocks and it runs perfectly fine
Its clear that AMD wants to focus on the lauch of new PS and Xbox, they will need alot of fab capacity for those... Also whats the point of releasing new series where top GPU does 20-30% better than previous gen for double the price? I am glad that they realised their current card have alot of potential and I hope we will see alot of driver improvements. EDIT: for what is said above for Witcher 2, I played it with max graphics and ubersampling on 1900x1200 with a single overclocked 7970 and is was perfectly fine.
Yeah we do. Actually i wanted to add that it is lame that they advertise their card's performance based on a single benchmark....
Its not about that its about progress, faster and cheaper cards for us the poor folks. double the price - where did you get that ? if newer cards comes out the current ones always will decrease in price at best the new ones will come at the old ones lauch prices so nowhere double; almost noone will buy them if they just double the $$$. it better max it for a $500 graphics card that dx9 game.
So AMD, the ones that started the accelerated generation jumps to make their weak products look better are now deciding not to do that? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it, but I think they'll release HD8000 sooner than we think. And seriously they put the HD7970 GHz edition ahead of the GTX680, way to mislead by using just one benchmark...
I prefer it this way. If this means that they'll launch a much bigger HD8000 series perfect. And if this translates to better driver support including Linux, good.
AMD fails again. Could 2014 AMD Radeon "HD 8970" Fail Edition compete with nVidia's next high end chip (~30 percent faster than Titan). I think not.
No it doesn't overall they are equal: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES_II/images/perfrel.gif And if you prefer a few modern games to an actual idea of performance. Assassin's Creed 3 GTX680 Outperforms HD7970-GHz: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES_II/images/ac3_1920_1200.gif Batlefield 3 HD7970-GHz outperforms GTX680: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES_II/images/bf3_1920_1200.gif Borderland 2 GTX680 outperforms HD7970-GHz: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES_II/images/borderlands2_1920_1200.gif Far Cry 3 HD7970-GHz outperforms GTX680: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES_II/images/farcry3_1920_1200.gif They trade blows in modern games, that is why I said OVERALL they are equal.
You can't afford $269.99 free ship with a $20 rebate and 3 free games making the card viably less than $200? That's how much I paid for my Sapphire 7950 on a Newegg sale...
Relative performance table ? Go pick up some game benchmarks and come back, you have plenty on that review. Don't worry, i will help you: And i'm pretty sure the 7970GHZ results are based on the 12.11 BETA which are a couple of months old...
Yes, that is relative means overall performance, they are synonymous. Notice how I said overall in my original statement. Also notice how in the game benchmarks the cards trade blows, again OVERALL performance is equal. Also, no the wasn't with 12.11 BETA, the AMD cards used 13.1 and the nVidia cards used 310.70, which is kind of a disadvantage to nVidia since 313.96 actually brought some significant gains in some of the games used in the benchmark suite.
This is good news as I just bought my card, so it wont be obsolete for a long while. Also, with the driver rewrites coming things are looking up.
lies, they just want to see what NVIDIA going to release, in all times AMD(ATI) release series and NVIDIA respond with a bit more performance, now i think things going to reverse.
It is certainly a lot more equal than the 15% difference AMD is claiming(and basing their strategy on?). Oh of course, nVidia does the same thing with their graphs that start at 100% to make the 2-5% improvements seem like huge jumps.
Obviously i was not not lucky enough to be born in a more civilized country like you (in the god forsaken place where i live 7950's are at least $500-$600 and the ones that actually come with a game are even higher) otherwise i wouldnt bitching around about it. even this shows them equal.
I think it's a little ridiculous to pronounce the downfall of AMD's graphics cards over this. For one thing, a lot of the signs had already been pointing to there being no new series of cards from either AMD or Nvidia this year, at least till the Christmas timeframe. It's likely that the GTX Titan will be the only new card before Christmas unless something unexpected happens. For another, we don't know what Nvidia is going to do with this Titan card. We don't know if it's just a standalone release or if it will get the GTX 780 label, and we definitely don't know that their next chip will beat it or when it will be released. Not only that, but a $900 single GPU card is more or less not going to change the current GPU world at all. It doesn't compete with any single GPU card because it's so expensive, and it doesn't look set to really do much to dethrone the current dual-GPU setups from AMD or Nvidia that are already here (690/7990 and equivalent dual-card configs). AMD and Nvidia have been very even this round, which is a great thing for consumers. It looks like they're going to remain more or less even throughout the year (though AMD fans may get their feelings hurt a bit that Nvidia will have the fastest single GPU). Hopefully it will continue next year with new releases from both sides.

So I take the answer is that, no, RBN is not available today for the PS3?

"Pacific Rim," a film about giant robots battling giant monsters, will storm, stomp, clang and crash into movie theaters this weekend, and I couldn't be more geeked out about it.
The movie stars Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam and Charlie Day. The story involves an invasion of alien creatures who come to our planet not from the stars in spaceships, but from another dimension deep in the ocean.
They come, they conquer, humanity fights back by building giant robots, and explosions ensue. Lots and lots of explosions.
Forget the underlying Cold War metaphors of nuclear annihilation found in 1954's "Gojira" (better known as "Godzilla" to the U.S.), and forget the tense, terrorist-centric underpinnings to 2008's "Cloverfield." "Pacific Rim" looks like it has no care for subtlety whatsoever.
We're talking about a film where one of the previews features a giant robot wielding an oil tanker like a baseball bat and clubbing an equally giant monster in the middle of a destroyed downtown area.
As you may have gathered, I'm a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to movies and cartoon TV shows involving giant monsters and/or giant robots. Allow me to get geeky for a second.
I grew up watching "Voltron" (the good one with the lions, not the idiotic cars), "Robotech," "Tranzor Z," the animated "Godzilla" series, all the "Godzilla" movies (including all the "Godzilla vs. ..." movies), the original animated "Transformers" cartoon show - and I'm just barely scratching the surface. I won't even bother you with my H.P. Lovecraft "Call of Cthulhu" bona fides.
There are just two rules when it comes to me and monster movies: First, Godzilla was never beaten by Mothra (I don't care what the film says); and second, we never talk about the cinematic calamity that was 1998's "Godzilla," starring Matthew Broderick.
And since "Pacific Rim" will violate neither of those rules, it's bound to be an awesome roller coaster ride.
It doesn't hurt that "Pacific Rim" is directed by Guillermo del Toro, who directed "Pan's Labyrinth" and the two "Hellboy" films. With del Toro on board, this movie may just have a great story to go along with the monster-punching action.
I won't, however, lose any sleep if it's all action and no story.

Reviews for Cheesy Ham Chowder(55)
Sort By :
Absolutely delish! Wonderful cheesy ham flavor. Creamy and soothing to the palate. A sure keeper that I will make consistently!
I didn't change a thing and it was delicious! Perfect for fall and winter.
Absolutely delicious and so hearty and comforting on one of these first really cold days of late fall. I added more corn and potatoes than it called for and it got a big thumbs up from my husband who is a big guy and loves rib-sticking comfort food!
Made this the other night and the family LOVED it. My husband and 2 sons worked outside all day (freezing out that day) so they were happy to come home to hot chowder. I did shred my own cheese like some recommended. Made homemade dinner rolls to go with it. The only thing I will change next time.....is to make a double batch. Thanks Jennifer for a great recipe.
This is fantastic and simple to put together! It is in my menu planner so I can access it whenever the mood strikes!

Presumably you used tun2fs or simply fstab to ensure your ext3 mounts remain stable with data=ordered after the kernel in question (was it 2.6.30 or 2.6.31?), right?
What'd be interesting to see would be how the distributions have handled it, since. Did they go with the new ext3 data=writeback default, or have they either reverted either that commit or now default their userspace to specify data=ordered by default?
I know at least one guy who was complaining of ext3 instability after installing a new kernel due to that, that went away when he returned to data=ordered for his ext3 volumes. The context of that discussion was the pan (nntp client) user list, IIRC.
Me, I've been on reiserfs for years on both my main system and (more recently) my netbook, and have been extremely happy with it since data=ordered became its default (2.6.6 according to a google hit on another LWN comment of mine). My most recent experience with extX is on no-journal ext4 formatted USB flash-based thumbdrives, where journaling isn't a good idea. I've been following btrfs with interest, and expect I'll upgrade to it once a few more of the kinks get worked out. (I've seen hints that the current 2.6.35 cycle will reduce the strength of the warning for its kernel config item, but I don't follow the btrfs list or lkml, and any detail of even plans has been harder to come by on the broader community sites such as LWN, HO, LXer, etc, that I follow.)
Posted May 22, 2010 19:15 UTC (Sat) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link]
What bothers me is how they reduced the guarantees and stability of the long mature ext3 filesystem in the aftermath of all this, by defaulting it to data=writeback, a change from the old default data=ordered.
I am a little worried, though, because of what happened after data=journal was no longer the default; I then read that using data=journal resulted in corrupt file systems; I read that for a significant amount of time, and never read that this bug has been fixed (but haven't seen such reports for some time).
So if they made data=ordered non-default in 2.6.31 or some kernel, will they really care if it works? My confidence is limited. We should probably better stick with 2.6.30 until we migrate off extx file systems completely.

(btw, you can put mount options in the superblock, and avoid modifying /etc/fstab.)

Modifying fstab is not a big deal, why would I want to avoid it. The problem with doing it in the superblock is that I have to do it again when I transfer the system to another disk.

Another way would be to check CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED in the kernel config file.

text: by Elizabeth Ruiz She was admired and respected by KABB-TV viewers, and adored even more by those who actually knew her Thirty-seven-year-old Karen Martinez, who co-anchored the 9 o'clock news has succumbed to breast cancer. Friend and co-worker Sylvia Rincon said on the Jack Riccardi show on 550 KTSA that Martinez leaves behind three children. "She had three children ages 7, 16 and 18, and her husband, Joseph and her parents. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers," said Rincon. Martinez was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2009, but she continued to anchor when she could. "She was in remission for a very brief time," said Rincon. Martinez also continued to raise awareness about cancer and recently put together a major fundraiser, even while she was gravely ill. Rincon says Martinez maintained a sense of humor and put up a brave fight 'til the end and did her best to mask the pain. "The way you see her in the pictures that we have is what she looked like up until the very last days that she was here. She was defiant," said Rincon. Funeral services are pending. photos: foxsanantonio.com; mysanantonio.com

Contacted Devin Townsend, waiting for reply.
Ozone, there's no way to fit the amount of love and admiration I feel for you right now into this tiny little text-trough.
If your Saban adventure manages to bear fruit, "We Need a Hero" from the original MMPR series is going to become my pet project for ruthless badgering over the next two to three years. WHATEVER IT TAKES.
Coincidentally, does anybody have ANY suggestions on how the heck I would go about putting in a query to the appropriate label for Oingo Boingo? It seems like the rights to the songs are generally glad-handed among the original members, and I wouldn't be surprised if Elfman had some kind of knuckle-grudge against the concept of music games in general (Despite the "Only a Lad" cover in GH Rocks the 80's), so I'm clueless as to where I'd even start.
After watching Forbidden Zone, it seems like Elfman and co. would jump all over the rhythm game concept.
Perhaps you can try contacting Steve Bartek's management? He was the band's lead guitar player and probably the second most important member of the group: http://www.stevebartek.com/html/cont...ntactform.html

Patrick Joseph Leahy (pronounced /ˈleɪhiː/; born March 31, 1940) is the senior United States Senator from Vermont and member of the Democratic Party. He is the first and only elected Democratic United States Senator in Vermont's history. He is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Leahy is the second most senior U.S. Senator, and second longest-serving Democrat in the U.S. Senate having served since 1975.
Leahy was born in Montpelier, Vermont, the son of Alba (née Zambon) and Howard Francis Leahy, a printer. His grandparents came to Vermont from Ireland and Italy during the 19th century to work at quarries.
Leahy graduated from Saint Michael's College in 1961 and received his J.D. degree from Georgetown University Law Center in 1964. He practiced as a lawyer until he was elected for four terms as State's Attorney of Chittenden County from 1966 to 1974. Leahy was elected to the United States Senate for the first time in 1974 (at 34, he was the youngest U.S. Senator ever to be elected by Vermont). Leahy was the first and remains the only Democrat elected to the Senate from Vermont. He was also the first non-Republican Senator from Vermont since 1856.

OLIVE-FRENCH BREAD Recipe
- 5 5 5cups CUP_USVolumebread flour
- 2 2 2teaspoons TEASPOON_USVolumebread flour
- 2 2 2cups CUP_USVolumecold water
- 1 1/2 1.5 1.5packages active dry yeast
- 4 4 4ounces OUNCE_USVolumeNicoise olives, pitted and sliced (roll a rolling pin over the olives to make them easier to pit)
- 2 2 2teaspoons TEASPOON_USVolumesalt
Instructions for Olive-French Bread Recipe
- Insert the dough hook into an electric mixer and on 1 or low speed, combine 5 cups flour and the water for 4 minutes. Sprinkle the yeast over the dough, turn the speed to 2, and mix about 5 minutes longer. (Dough will pull cleanly away from the bowl.)
- Toss the olives with the 2 teaspoons flour, add to the dough with the salt and mix 2 minutes longer. Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with a clean tea towel, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Turn the dough out on a heavily floured surface, lightly knead into a ball, and let rest, covered for 45 minutes.
- Punch out the air, cut the dough in half, and shape into two baguettes. Place the loaves on one or two baking trays, sprinkle with flour, cover with the towel, and let rest for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
With a single edge razor blade or a very sharp knife, make a slash down the center of each loaf. Carefully slide the breads onto a baking stone and bake 10 minutes. Spray with water (a spray can or bottle used for misting plants works well) and continue baking until the bread is well-browned, about 1 hour and 10 minutes longer. (Baking at 400 degrees F will give you a crustier bread, but you can bake the bread at 425 degrees F for 1 hour, 10 minutes.) Cool on a rack.
Note: Makes 2 loaves
The olives give this bread a delicious Mediterranean flavor. With this recipe timing is very important. Be sure to run the mixer exactly as specified.

2. The shadow under her chin had some noise, so I duplicated the layer and used Noiseware on it. I thin applied a layer's mask and removed the Noiseware from all but the shadows and part of her skin.
3. I was fortunate to get to test MCP's new Fusion set for Elements & Photoshop. I used her One Click Color. This is a great action for making all those tweaks that would normally take quite a bit of time. I adjusted some layers and turned some off until I got the look I wanted.
4. Next, I used Pioneer Woman's Lovely & Ethereal action. I love how this action softens up the hair. Again, I removed the effect from some areas of the photo.
5. To soften up under the eyes, I flattened all layers and then duplicated the layer. I sampled the skin color near her eyes and then painted over the shadows. I then reduced the opacity of the layer until the look was natural
6. I sharpened the eyes using Unsharp Mask.
7. The photo seemed off balance, so I expanded the canvas at the top and used the healing brush to add "grass".
8. I used Florabella's Vintage Urban action and reduced the opacity
9. The photo had gotten rather bright, so I used the Brightness/Contrast sliders to adjust the brightness more to my liking.
10. Finally, I resized the photo and used Unsharp Mask to sharpen for the web.

Welshman Jamie Donaldson carded a final round 68 to take home the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship by a single stroke. Donaldson, in FJ ICON and StaSof, posted a smooth 34 on the front nine that included two bookend birdies and seven pars. His unflappable play continued for the first eight holes on the backside until a three putt bogey on the last gave his chasers some hope. They failed to capitalize on their opportunity, giving Donaldson the win.
"It's pretty surreal really, I've played really good all week although I've got away with murder up the last" Donaldson stated post round. Continuing "I played the pro-am on Wednesday and thought the course was too difficult and I had no chance,I thought if I could get a decent finish I would be chuffed...To be holding this trophy is just mad."
This is Donaldson's second European Tour victory, his first coming in the Irish Open at Royal Portrush the previous year. The win also moves Donaldson inside the top 30 in the Official World Golf Rankings.
INTRODUCING M:PROJECT FROM FOOTJOYMinimal Construction = Maximum Feel
(Fairhaven, MA) -- FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf, announces the introduction of an all new footwear category called M:PROJECT™. With a tremendous selection of industry-leading platform stability products already embraced by players around the world, FJ's new M:PROJECT category gives players a new option – lightweight, ultra-flexible, minimally constructed footwear delivering maximum feel and real-time feedback.
"At FJ we believe that there is no single shoe that is best suited for every type of player which is why our Footwear team develops products with specific types of players in mind." said Mike Foley, Director of Marketing, Footwear. "The M:PROJECT is the perfect extension to FJ's performance lineup. This new category targets players seeking lower profile, minimalist-type footwear. Not only does the player get a better sense of the ground beneath them, they also are more tuned-in to the movement of their lower half throughout the swing."
Doug Robinson, Vice President of Footwear Design & Development Worldwide and his team have tested thousands of players from elite Tour professionals to amateurs at the state-of-the-art Shoe Box testing facility in Brockton, MA. Working in conjunction with Dr Greg Rose at TPI, their respective teams have observed a segment of players who require more movement in their feet in order to create the proper ground force reactions in their golf swing.
According to Dr. Rose, "M:PROJECT is designed for the golfer to increase the movement, to feel the ground and sense things underfoot they could not before. With each step you take you start creating more mobility, which teaches you how to create more power in your golf swing. "
Features and Benefits:· M:SPEC™ leather by Pittards® - thin-yet-strong specification, supple and comfortable feel· MP:627 Last – generous forefoot shape allowing the toes to spread and grip· ProTect™ toe guard – designed to provide abrasion resistance in a high wear area· L.T.D Outsole – Laser Thin Duramax™ acts as a low profile, highly flexible conduit from ground to feet.· P.I.N.S™ System – thinner spec receptacles and cleats deliver low profile performance· Stealth™ Cleat by Softspikes® - dynamic, low profile design, exclusive to the M:Project category· High Performance Mesh – lightweight, breathable, comfortable· Two year waterproof warranty – both leather and mesh styles will offer a limited two year warranty
M:PROJECT is available in ten style options, five cleated and five spikeless. All cleated options feature the exclusive M:SPEC leather. Including one featuring the BOA® Closure system™. Three of the five spikeless models are offered with high performance mesh upper construction.
Louis Oostuizen of South Africa won the Volvo Golf Champions event at Durban Country Club with a Sunday best, six under par 66 to win by one stroke.
Starting the day five strokes back of the lead, Oosthiuizen made up solid ground on the front nine shooting a four under 32 to creep within one of the lead. Continuing his near perfect play on the back, Louis, in DryJoys Tour and SciFlex, birdied his first two holes to take sole possession of the lead. Oosthuizen added another birdie at the 14th before a late bogey at the 16th gave others hope at catching him. Their pursuit would be in vain with Louis parring the final two holes to take home the championship.The win coupled with seven top tens in his past eight starts has moved the former Open Champion Oosthuizen to number four on the Official World Golf Rankings, his highest ranking ever. This was Louis' sixth European Tour victory.

Wishing you and yours a very happy, healthy and safe holiday and New Year! Thank you all for your tremendous support in 2012.

Italian Alpine Club pays tribute to Riccardo Cassin 01 Sep 2009 Riccardo Cassin, one of the greatest mountaineers of the 20th century, died on August 6 at age 100. The Italian climber started building a reputation as an accomplished alpinist in the 1930s, scaling peaks in the Alps with relatively crude equipment by today's standard. His career, spanning more than six decades, is that of legend. He made roughly 2,500 climbs, more than 100 of them first ascents. Some of those are still considered classic routes. Most famously, he tackled in 1938 with a group from his hometown of Leco the north face of the Grandes Jorasses in the Mont Blanc Massif, considered the most difficult challenge in the Alps. Decades later he led a five-man team on a first ascent of the south wall of Mount McKinley in Alaska. The route is now called Cassin Ridge. And as he aged, he hardly slowed. At 85, he scaled Luna Nascente in Val di Mello, Itlay. Mountaineer Giovanni Rossi, who served three terms as president of Club Alpino Italiano's elite group of climbers, Club Alpino Accademico, recently composed a eulogy remembering his good friend. It's a glimpse into understanding Cassin's style and tenacity in the mountains. The UIAA is publishing Rossi's eulogy in full, to commemorate Cassin and his accomplishments. Eulogy for Riccardo Cassin
In writing about Riccardo Cassin for mountaineers of more recent generations one runs the risk of indulging in repetition or lavish rhetoric. But many of them have vague notions about the mountaineering of the Cassin era and may be inclined to underestimate it. This thought inspired Georges Livanos to choose as the subtitle for his biography of Cassin (1983) "Il était une fois le sixième degré" as if it had been a fabulous, today almost incredible age. To avoid any temptation of rhetoric I shall confine myself mainly to technical evaluations, and begin by quoting Giusto Gervasutti. When he had been anticipated by Cassin's party on the northern buttress of the Walker Spur (1938), he commented: "For Cassin climbing is the means to the end, he aims at the end point, he has very clear ideas, for him the goal is the enterprise… He is the man who, once the purpose has been fixed, does not go back… There are more brilliant climbers, but his list of ascents does not bear comparison…". Not only the great ascents of Cassin, but even the first repeat ascents became famous. They occurred during the first years after the second World War (1945-1949): Gaston Rébuffat at the Walker Spur and Pizzo Badile, Guglielmo Del Vecchio at the Piccolissima di Lavaredo (the Cima Ovest di Lavaredo had been repeated immediately after the first ascent), Gino Soldà at the Torre Trieste, Georges Livanos at the Aiguille de Leschaux, were all astonished by the level of difficulty as well as by the purity of style of the ascents. On the Badile northeast face, Rébuffat was impressed by the power of intuition of Cassin in finding the line of least resistance, and even more by his strength of mind in ignoring, in spite of a terrible storm, an easier way out and traversing with greater difficulty to a direct exit to the summit. Cassin was a leader in the Italian mountaineering environment, and particularly so in the locality of his town, Lecco. The success of the Italian expedition to Gasherbrum IV was due to his leadership and to the ability of his best disciple Carlo Mauri, who reached the summit with Walter Bonatti (1958). Cassin was also the leader of the victorious expeditions of the Ragni di Lecco to the McKinley south ridge (1961) and Jirishanca west face (1969) (in both cases all members reached the summit!). The best way of remembering Riccardo Cassin is by the last lines of his biography by Livanos: "As long as mountaineers will exist, they will always evoke the face of the invincible conqueror who has never gone back, who has always looked ahead, with eyes which could challenge all the strength of nature, or reflect all the goodness of man, a glance to make a hole in the stones, or as sweet and astonished as the eyes of a child…".
