Program Reviews
The University of the Fraser Valley is committed to offering academic programs of the highest quality and standards. To this end, in January 2009, the Senate and the Board of Governors adopted a new policy on Academic Program and Unit Reviews (Policy Number 210.15). Our policy requires that all academic programs and units normally be reviewed every five years. In accordance with the policy a multi-year plan was developed and adopted for the review of academic programs and units at UFV. The Program Review is the central moment in a continuous process of program monitoring and improvement. All aspects of this process share the same aim: strengthening a culture of continuous improvement throughout the institution.

Lithend Estates
Customer Profile
Lithend Estates is a large private landlord letting to students in Hampshire.
The Challenge
We had been using the same property management software for approximately 17years. This wasn't because the software was particularly good but rather that we had been unable to find anything better. One of the biggest problems with the software
was that it lacked any accounting functionality. This meant we had to double entry all of our accounting information onto Sage. The software was expensive and if you wanted to use all of the functions available you had to buy add-ons. The reporting was
limited and very time consuming. We often had to create our own reports within the software as the generic ones didn't provide the information required. We constantly had bugging issues and updates and fixes came out faster than we could keep up.
The Solution
After a very time consuming year end in 2011, our accountants mentioned that they had heard about some new property management software that worked in conjunction with Sage and recommended Landlord Manager to us. After discussing our requirements
with the guys at Landlord Manager, we arranged an online demo of Landlord Manager for Sage and were shown it's capabilities in some depth. We were instantly impressed with the software and felt that it would be a huge help and improvement over the software that we
were running. It's biggest draw being that it linked to Sage and so we could have all of our financial data available in both programmes and without the need to double entry.
The Benefits
Having used our previous software for 17 years, we were extremely nervous in the beginning of how we would adjust LMFS in practice. We had estimated that it would take us a few months to get to grips with the new system but to our surprise
(and great pleasure!) the software was extremely easy to use and took only a matter of days to feel comfortable with. The on-line support feature is great with answers to questions/problems given quickly.
Since installing LMFS we haven't looked back. From simple things like being able to import emails from outlook straight into a tenant record to being able to see all relevant financial information at the click of a button, LMFS provides a great solution and we would happily recommend it.

Till death us do part!
Not surprisingly we allotment codgers never discuss the big taboo subject; death. To be honest I find even typing the word unsettling, for anyone nudging the age of 80 and in robust health prefers to believe vaguely in immortality, in our case a zillion years of hen-keeping. Only the other day we planted a row of small trees and reflected that in twenty or so years time we will gaze with delight at the result. It genuinely didn't occur to us that by that time our gazing days will be over.
What has brought on this sudden bout of introspection? The government statisics on ageing published today, that's what. In illustrating life expectancy the statistics have chosen as a base people born around 1931, which ropes in most of us allotmenteers. A man born at that time has only a 2.5 per cent chance of receiving the Queens telegram, not that she will be around to send one. We decided not to dwell on the implicatiions of that.
In national terms the worrying aspect of the figures is that the 20 year-olds of today are three times more likely to reach a century than those of our generation. And between those extremes the age expectancy rises slowly but surely. The projection shows that by 2066 there will be half a million people aged 100 or more. Somewhere along that demographic curve lie statistics that show that ere long we will spend less than half of our lives at work, even allowing for the existing proposal to raise retirement age. One doesn't need to be Einstein to work out that the present concept of contributions funding a reasonable pension is itself dying a rapid death. The present government deserves credit for facing up to this reality, however unpopular the proposed solutions may be.
Lord McFall, the chairman of the independent Workplace Retirement Income Commission, has warned that three quarters of private sector staff will be " unable to adequately exist" when they retire due to the low level of savings. Yes, there are political arguments here about the rich, the public sector and so on, but the central truth is just that. Given a much longer retirement there will not be enough cash in the pension pots. I guess we owe it to future generations to tackle this problem right now.
Of course one of the reasons that younger people begrudge pension payments is that deep down they see old age as something too far way to even contemplate, let alone provide for. I used to listen to my grandparents talking about their youth with incredulity. How could they possibly remember things that happened so long ago? I now realise that time has a nasty habit of passing at a rapid rate of knots!
Another reason is probably the cultural reluctance to even speak the word of death, and thus old age. When death comes to elderly relatives we talk of tragedy. It is of course an inevitability. Some cultures take a different view, death is but the start of a glorious period of delight. Some in this culture believe something along those lines, I remember as a boy singing of "friends we shall meet that we lost long ago". I also remember reflecting that the last thing I wished for was to meet again many that I encountered!
The mental block to acceptance of death as a topic may have something to with the reality of the act of dying and the portrayal of it in Victorian literature. There the bewhiskered old gentleman was invariably portrayed lying in his bed suurounded by his family. He would quietly sleep, and eventually sigh his last. If only that were the norm.
In 1821 the English poet Shelley wrote of a cemetary as an "open space covered in winter with violets and daisies". It might, the great man suggested " make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place". Hmm! Today's production-line cremetoria hardly fit that peaceful picture.
But far be it from me to spoil your day. The only issue I would wish to leave in your mind is the one of pensions. The good news is that for today's younger generation old age and dependency are but a distant matter. But if they are to be spent other than in penury the time to begin the task of making financial povision is now. Unless the retirement age is increased spectacularly no state scheme will be able to provide.
I read this morning of the death of Richard Pearson. The gifted character actor was 93 and will always live in my memory for his ablility to bring a kindly dignity and humanity to the many parts he played in a long career on stage, television and in film. I am sure that he did not rage against the coming of the night and I like to imagine that instead, unlike so many of us, simply accepted what was to be, planned accordingly and then thought no more about it.
Perhaps the saddest thing of all is that we are all dependent on politicians to lead us on the answer to increased life expectancy. The people we trust least of all are poor advocates but they are all we have!

Sadly it comes to us all but the days of secure pensions are gone as members liv efar longer than the actuaries calculated.Like it or not contributions will hav eto rise or we will have to work much longer.
We are self-employed and find establishing a pension difficult'; the schemes right now are too complicated and too slanted toward the profit taker. Min dyou we could nver contemplate an empty life of doing nothing.
Living longer is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be! But without an adequate pension it can be hell on earth.

Vaibhav Chauhan talks about why Kuari Pass makes a terrific winter exploratory trek.
There has been an ongoing discussion about how few Himalayan treks are available for trekking in the winter season when the trek routes get enveloped with heavy snow-fall. Kuari Pass is one trek we thought needs a special mention. The area receives it's first seasons snow-fall in last week of December on-forth making it a delightful snow trek. Kuari Pass has everything a trek should have. Wide open expanse of meadow fields, beautiful Oak and Deodar trees in the backdrop of beautiful snow capped peaks.

Vaibhav Chauhan talks about why one should do Prashar Lake Trek this winter.
Surrounded amidst the towering Dhaladhar ranges of Kulu valley is a small blue watered lake called Prashar. The lake known to locals is a well kept secret in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. The trek to Prashar Lake retains its charm by following a beautiful trail that goes through a series of reserved forest cover, small rivulets and scenic pasture-lands. Mean while one can enjoy the local "pahadi" village culture as the trail goes through the muddy tarred path of the local villages here. The trail is quiet enjoyable and gives a breathtaking 180 degree view of Dhauladhar, Pir Pinjal and Kinnaur mountain ranges.

Arjun Majumdar talks about why the winter Har Ki Dun trek must be a part of your wishlist..
I am aware there are other Indiahikes winter treks lined up this year. But passing up Har-ki-dun for them would be foolhardy. Har-ki-dun is a winter trek that will stay in your heart for many years.
Har-Ki-dun is a super trek for winter. Not only does it have terrific camp sites but has ready winter trails comfortable to walk on.The scenery on the trek is stunning, to say the least. There are some moments that stand out. Walking on the snowy trail with the Supin gurgling next to you is out of a post card. This setting stays with you long on the trek.
Izzat Ansari shares here the latest on Green trails from the slopes, she says
"Hello all green trekkers!
There is a difference between forests and rain forests. Tucked in the borders close to Myanmar (Burma), in Arunachal Pradesh is one of the densest rain forest of India. If you have ever imagined the Amazon basin and the tropical forests of Africa, then this is as close as you can get. To put things in perspective, when Indiahikes explores the Namdapha trail in Arunachal this December, we are being accompanied by an elephant porter! For all days of the trek!
The trek takes us through deep jungles separated by rivers. Tribes that have no human contact live in the forests. Needless to say, spotting wildlife is common and Namdapha is a known tiger reserve. This is one of the reason why an elephant accompanies us. The Namdapha is in the lower foothills of the Himalayas.
This is an invitation for an exploratory trek in Namdapha sanctuary. The trek has all the thrills of a Himalayan trek with the bonus of the rain forests. For those who have been keen to explore the North East, this is perhaps the best trek to do. The exploratory trek starts on December 22. Note: A maximum of 8 members are invited for the trek. To sign up follow this link: Namdapha.
Latest Documented Trek
Pin Parvati Pass is a great trek for seasoned trekkers. One can easily be bedazzled with the spectacular beauty this trek has to offer and overlook the challenges it throws back. Regardless, Pin Parvati Pass trek is a 100 km trail of nonstop thrills for those who seek adventure with reasonable risks. Route finding a way inside the thick forest of Great Himalayan National Park can confuse even the well prepared trekker. Crossing Parvati River and its tributaries can be a harrowing experience and traversing the high altitude Pin Parvati Pass has its risks of un-roped trekking across the deceptive crevasses.

Rising high from the hills to its south, and standing like a sentinel to Kinnaur, as the river Sutlej cut through Kinnaur Himalayas, was Bashal Peak. After the panoramic views of the Himalayas from Churdhar Peak, I now wanted to see snow-capped peaks at close quarters. Maybe it was the mystical appeal, that I felt gravitated towards the Kinnaur Himalayas for this purpose.
Latest Documented Day Trek
The trek to Harihar Fort is short one and yet tiring. The last 200 feet of hike offers a nerve-racking climb through steep rock cut stairs inclined at 80 degrees. The adventure doubles up in the monsoon as the stairs become slippery. The descent is particularly exhilarating as you have to climb down and at one point you are greeted with sheer 500 ft drop. The architecture of the stair is so diverse and outstanding. The rock-cut stairs offer spectacular and occasionally scary views of the valley below. The fort is situated amidst the huge Vaitarna dam and Trimbakeshwar mountain ranges offers stunning views of the area around.

Enjoying the Beta, plays just as well as the first one, and tons of fun actually getting to play with other people.
I've been in it since Friday, sorry for not updating, but it's sort of a dry spell sort of. There's tons of content out there for those who want to see, since there's no NDA, people have put up all kinds of stuff about it. Assimilating all of that stuff, or even wading through it to the point that I could find some high points seems more of a pain than it's worth. But the game looks to be great, I can't wait for full release.
Just giving this a bump to let the people know this thread isn't dying. The beta is coming to a close tomorrow, and with it the painful anticipation of full release (unggh!!). Come throw your steam screen name up and your location worldwide so we can coordinate games. Since the game is being distributed by a source other than steam, it looks as if they may have come up with their own system of screen-names and friending one another, so my effort to matchmake here may be ill-conceived. However, if it is the case that they're not using steamworks, I'll try to coordinate games from here using Runic's friend finding system.
Thx TUS. I'm not a big steam fan, ordered the alternative way, but based on the input on the forums, I think they're looking to make it so once you add a friend "in-game", you should be able to follow them into a game... I hope Looking to get some last minute fix in for an hour or so this eve before it closes
I can't help but look at the thread for the D3 clubhouse, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh..... The game does look spectacular, but the baggage that comes with it? Screw that. I'll stick with TL2, and BL2 when it hits this fall. Also got Wasteland 2 coming late next year, too many other games without all the crap D3 comes with. Rumor mill is pinging hard about the end of July for the long-awaited return to fun
BTW (shhhh) there may or may not be a method to using a server-answer app to get the beta to continue to play solo, as long as your computer thinks it's still before June 1 (the original, planned, beta end-date).... shhhhhhh....
what crap does D3 come with? How was the beta? Does the game have an AH or anything since you can play with other players? How do you get great gear in this game? Dungeons or quests or just luck finding?
Crap: from hence to be associated with: 1: No offline play 2: No LAN play 3: No Mod support 4: Real Money Auction House Beta was good, altho cut short by the developers since they realized that they had gleaned all that could be from the pool of testers, and that they had a lot of work to get done I've come across the link stating why they closed it early somewhere, can find it again if someone's interested. No AH, just trading between players. Great gear is found by luck, some by rewards, and some by trading.
Thanks for bumping this, I hadn't seen those questions, I just assumed let it sit until release or a big announcement, though I did think about bumping it. It just occured to me that this thread was conceived back in Dec or Nov of 2011, back when I thought they'd have the game out. I think it will possibly be worth it though.
Yeah, I remember this time LAST year, when they had anticipated the release by the end of July, and then "It will be released by the end of the year, unless someone dies!!"... fortunately, noone did, but neither did it get released
Yeah, making $20 off an item you found but can't use is such a drag. I should be paying them for finding items instead.
Preordered it too when I found out DIII was a bit of a let down. For +-€14.25 (we bought it in a 4 pack) you can't really let it pass by
you just don't get it! how you play affects my experience greatly - even though it's a non-competitive game, and all items need to drop before they can be sold, and i'll likely never see you in game, and even if i did i'd never know you bought your item. none of that matters. the fact that rmah exists RUINS the game. It's as simple as that /sarcasm
Not picking on anyone in particular, but please keep the discusion about T2 and not D3. Go to the D3 CH if you want to participate in the love/hate discussions.
not trying to be argumentative, but i think the difference in features between torchlight 2 and d3 are worth discussing, and imo should be allowed in both threads. granted there's a fine line between discussion and bashing - but i honestly don't see how you can discuss torchlight 2 and not compare it to or at least mention diablo 3. i recognize my previous post isn't helpful though, and will refrain from those types of posts in the future.
I agree, Digi, just want to keep this thread from become a D3 hate fest instead of promoting T2 and what it has to offer. Comparing the two is fine. Actually comparing it to any other dungeon crawler is fine too. Just keep T2 as the focus. Part of my job as a mod is to push things back on-topic, and that is all I was doing. Carry on !!
*trips Kreij while he's pushing* *ducks* heheheh I really wanted to say something on-topic, but I became so entralled by the idea of picking on Kreij that I failed. (heheh ... back atcha. )
In the first game, targeting enemies was a PITA. So much so, that I'd never play as anything other than an alchemist using the deathbeam (no targeting required). Have they fixed that? Also, how many levels do the gems have?

Krotz Springs Man Claims $1 Million Powerball Prize
Powerball winner David Stelly of Krotz Springs shows off his $1 million check at Louisiana Lottery headquarters in Baton Rouge.
David Stelly told his coworkers he was "going to win some money" before checking his Powerball ticket last week, and that's just what he did.
The 47-year-old from Krotz Springs matched all five white ball numbers in the Sept. 29 drawing but missed the red Powerball number, making him Louisiana's newest $1 million winner. Stelly received $700,000 after state and federal taxes were withheld. The winning numbers for the drawing were 14-18-28-29-57, and the Powerball number was 8.
An avid motorcyclist, Stelly said he purchases his Powerball tickets every weekend at Hebert's Boudin & Cracklins on I-49 North Service Road in Opelousas, when he and his father-in-law pass by on their bikes. The store will receive a bonus of $10,000, which is 1 percent of the prize, for selling Stelly the winning ticket.
Stelly said he waited a while to claim his prize because he wasn't sure what he would do with the money. However with the check finally in his hand, Stelly said he planned to set aside college funds for his children and perhaps even buy a new motorcycle.
The Powerball game underwent several enhancements in January to create bigger jackpots, more millionaires and better odds of winning. In addition to a price increase to $2 per play, the game's "match-5" prize, which Stelly won, quadrupled from $200,000 to $1 million.
Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. Draw-style game tickets must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. Anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem should call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help.
For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing. More information about other Powerball winners can be found in the "Meet Our Winners" section of the Lottery's website,

GE Global Research, the technology development arm of the General Electric Company, today announced a major breakthrough in the development of next generation optical storage technology. GE researchers have successfully demonstrated a threshold micro-holographic storage material that can support 500 gigabytes of storage capacity in a standard DVD-size disc. This is equal to the capacity of 20 single-layer Blu-ray discs, 100 DVDs or the hard drive for a large desktop computer. GE's micro-holographic discs will be able to be read and recorded on systems very similar to a typical Blu-ray or DVD player. Holographic storage is different from today's optical storage formats like DVDs and Blu-ray discs. DVDs and Blu-ray discs store information only on the surface of the disc; holographic storage technology uses the entire volume of the disc material. Holograms, or three-dimensional patterns that represent bits of information, are written into the disc and can then be read out. Although GE's holographic storage technology represents a breakthrough in capacity, the hardware and formats are so similar to current optical storage technology that the micro-holographic players will enable consumers to play back their CDs, DVDs and BDs. The GE team successfully recorded micro-holographic marks approaching one percent reflectivity with a diameter of approximately one micron. When using standard DVD or Blu-ray disc optics, the scaled down marks will have sufficient reflectivity to enable over 500 GB of total capacity in a CD-size disc. "GE's breakthrough is a huge step toward bringing our next generation holographic storage technology to the everyday consumer," said Brian Lawrence, who leads GE's Holographic Storage program. "Because GE's micro-holographic discs could essentially be read and played using similar optics to those found in standard Blu-ray players, our technology will pave the way for cost-effective, robust and reliable holographic drives that could be in every home. The day when you can store your entire high definition movie collection on one disc and support high resolution formats like 3-D television is closer than you think." GE has been working on holographic storage technology for over six years. The demonstration of materials that can support 500 gigabytes of capacity represents a major milestone in making micro-holographic discs that ultimately can store more than one terabyte, or 1,000 gigabytes of data. In addition to pushing the limits of storage capacity, GE researchers also have been very focused on making the technology easily adaptable to existing optical storage formats and manufacturing techniques. "GE's holographic storage program has turned the corner, and with this milestone we can now intensify our efforts in commercialization opportunities," said Bill Kernick, who leads GE's Technology Ventures team. "We'll continue to engage with a variety of strategic partners to create the best route from product development to introduction into the marketplace." GE initially will be focusing on the commercial archival industry followed by the consumer market for its micro-holographic storage technology. Source: GE
That's just great. I love GE and always have. Their growth in the knowledge of technology has surely benefited people throughout the world. For example, a company used an older technique in technology, whereas now a newer one is more efficient in doing what it was meant to do. I'm sure GE contributes to that kind of purpose and instills it in others to be more creative in their thinking.
yeah, but this will be butting heads with flash memory. Flash is already out and able to attain amazing capacities in a thumb sized drive. I have a feeling that the world will be moving to things like flash and internal storage (IE downloadable content like the DSi or PSP2 or, currently, Iphone/Itouch) It could very possibly be that optical drives have met their end. GE came up with an amazing technology a really bad time, not what blu-ray is the norm and the current path.
Not a year comes by without one company or another promoting their "breakthroughs" in removable optical storage. What makes this announcement any different from all the others that never panned out ? Not to be a nihilist here, but I'll believe it when I see it in stores, at a starting price that doesn't compete with a V8 BMW.
How fast is the read/write performance though? I can't see people using these unless they offer something major over platters. GE is in need of good news though so the sooner they get something revolutionary with vast market impact to market, the more likely investors are going to buy up shares.
Yeah GE has its hands in everything, take it from someone who has worked for them for a few years. This looks very promising. Believe it or not, Optical Storage and the like is still a huge market.
Official Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXrJgXYq0Bk Will somebody please tell me how these GENIUSES managed to come to the value of 125 Mb as the total accumulation of a human brains entire lifetime of memory? No jokes - they clearly try and state that 500GB is approx. 4000 times the amount of information that a human brain will store in a life time. What idiot amongst them came to the honest conclusion that a human brain is = 125Mb??? .. how would you even begin to quantify this statement? If "DOLLHOUSE" has taught us ANYTHING, a human brain is at LEAST 1 full generic non-descript removable hard drive worth of data. Assuming they are speaking for themselves, one can also assume not to see an end user product any time soon...
Hitachi feels it's 10 TB : http://www.techpowerup.com/?64743 Anyway, we cannot call the brain a storage medium, it's more like volatile random-access memory.
We have better compression.. I see no future for this product.. It's neat that they can do it, but I'd bet read/write times aren't great.. Plus it's probably no more resistant to scratches than a normal DVD, so 500Gb of info could be gone in one little scratch..
They're both wrong. The brain works on analog, cellular cicuitry while everything about a bit/byte is digital. Whenever you convert from analog to digital, you are losing an infinite amount of data. As such, the equation is not solvable. A picture is worth a thousand words...
So when are we going to have a multi optic drive. Meaning more than one lens used to read and write. If their was ever a need for one this would be it.
They will have advanced writing technologies to make it less boring. Hopefully. Now I don't want to be hasty but hurry up I want a 500gb cd for permanent backup.
Plus the neural pathways are more than just storage, they are the processor medium. I can close my eyes and remember tastes, sensations, how things feel, being warm or cold. As well as a sence of balance deveolped in 12 months from birth allowing me to become bipedal mobile. Now I can perfrom multiple tasks at once, without thinking about them too much. Huge difference.
WE'VE ALL MISSED THE POINT!!!!!!! ... even me... http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/01/07/ces_shxc_format_launched/ Edit : Official Site : http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc Edit : SDXC In The Wild : http://www.techpowerup.com/87073/CeBIT_2009_Pretec_SDXC_Pops_Up.html Remember SDXC? the presently 2Tb supporting format that reads and writes already plenty fast, and only gets faster with every version? And is also MUCH MUCH smaller in physical size and requires massively less power to operate, and a reader device less than 1/20'th the size of an optical disk drive - And has no moving parts to fail or lens to get dirty - And is fully random read/write ? That already exists... TODAY? (YES we all know you don't actually GET 2Tb chips yet - but they are within the range of the spec, and every other SD spec has already matched, and exceeded their format limit to date, on both storage capacity AND speed) Imagine where this technology will be by the time this CONCEPTUAL nonsense by GE even makes it to an end user product - in what 5 , 6 years? it took almost that long for HDDVD / Blu-Ray to make it to the market... This product was clearly conceptualized by their same brain capacity metering department - you need to come in a LOT more impressive than 500GB to make an impression this late in the game. Just look at how fast & far SSD's have come already, where will THEY be in 5years? Edit : I do still feel the appeal of "Non Volatile" / "Permanent" storage as a backup medium.. But I just don see this product hitting the mark, by the time it gets launched there will be so many other options at we can be sure such better prices, I'd personally just start going for a completely redundant set of drives via raid or whatever we are using by then. Even if I'm just using SDXC for backup - SD memory is pretty damn reliable as a long term storage, its only down side in the past has been capacity.
I like the idea of the credit card holographic disc better! Like those old TG-16 games, you could just stick them in your pocket/wallet.

Brillient unmasking of media corruption
Via RealClearPolitics this morning is an incredible piece by Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post. In my 35 years of following world politics and its various ancillaries I've never seen such a devastating take down of Big Media. The hypocrisy and deviousness here exposed is remarkable and sickening. Glick is quite meticulous in building her case against Big Media, not just in the United States | Read More »

Hi. I,m newbie to this and I would like to understand the difference between folding and crunching. Also why is there a need for high end graphic card when you crunch? Usually I would only turn off the screen and no graphic needed. Thanx for teaching me.
This should answer your question: TPU I just went to Google and searched "folding vs crunching". That was the first result.
Folding and Crunching are pretty much the same thing, they both produce results for disease research. They both can be run on cpu or gpu, or both. Main difference is with Crunching you can select which project you want to support, ie: HCC or Help Conquer Cancer which is what I crunch for. Folding results go for all types of research. High end graphics cards produce more work output, and usually out produce cpus. Both are worthy to contribute to, so just take your pick!
Folding is protiens and DNA types, crunching is mathematical numbers. Now GPU's and CPU's can be used for both.
Ok. It answers my question but I mean how can a software use the GPU to do this type of things if I just let the screen off? No video device opened then in my mind it supposed to don't use the gpu.
It uses the GPU just like the CPU, even with the screen off it still is working. I run BIONC all day at home with my screen turned off without any issue. I can even remote in with teamviewer to see its progress.
Ok. I did not know that. I'm really newbie in this so I will look for what built I have that could fit for this. Energy efficient and silent.
If you are going to crunch then a 6xxx-7xxx series AMD card would make good points If you are going to fold then a 4xx-6xx series Nvidia card would make good points.
I don't have these cards so I will use what I have in stock. I only have older skt 478 cpu with agp cards. That's not powerful but it will be good to start and practice.
crunching: Bionc does not support anything older than 5xxx series cards so you would have to use your CPU and a P4 would yield around 1K PPD which is not really much at all anymore. Folding: F@H uses 8xxx series and above Nvidia cards and is same on CPU as Bionic.
I will surely find another folding or crunching software then. I have all infos needed now so I will look for all the crap I have in my boxes.
The most energy efficient and silent computer i have is an older Evo D51S with a 2.8 gigs skt 478 and an AGP 64megs card. Not a bomb but it sucks almost no electricity so the bill won't rise much.
The GPU typically doesn't shut off when the screen isn't being used. I'm trying to think of an analogy. Like.. a gas powered generator, I suppose? It doesn't use much gas if nothing's plugged in to it, but it has to use a little bit of gas to idle. When you put a load on it, the generator, it ramps up a bit to compensate, using more fuel. If you turn it off (sleep/suspend), it won't use any fuel, but it takes some work to start it up again. Recent graphics cards have started adding a form of computing usually called "shaders", "stream units" or almost anything "physics". The types of calculations it can perform are limited, but the types of calculations it CAN do, it does EXTREMELY well (compared to the CPU). The analogy I like to use for this is Stephen Wiltshire. An autistic man who has the incredible ability to draw very complicated things from memory. Both folding and crunching, if I'm not mistaken, rely on the OpenCL architecture (or at least OpenCL compatibility is a good indication). You will not be able to crunch/fold on anything below a Radeon HD 5000 series card or, I believe, a GeForce 8000 series card. Your Pentium 4 machine will most likely have an AGP port. I don't know of any AGP card that's supported by Folding@Home or BOINC. Don't forget to read some of the threads over at TPU's Folding@Home section and World Community Grid section (a popular BOINC project). There used to be support for the Radeon 2000 to 4000 series, but it was dropped for various reasons. Don't be mistaken though. Your Pentium 4 can still contribute and provide useful data but you won't be awarded as many points as people with newer hardware. I'm working on a performance per watt chart (for GPUs mostly) that should be appearing in the World Community Grid forums later today. Slow doesn't always mean efficient. Again with a car engine analogy, you'll get more power for less fuel out of a fuel injected engine than you will with a carbureted engine.
Hope this doesn't sound rude, it's just an inevitability if diseases are cured. Do you suppose after they figure out all the tougher diseases with these collaborative efforts, that there will be crunching/folding programs that the public can assist in finding answers to overpopulation? Some believe societal patterns themselves can be calculated and even predicted to a degree with algorithms, such as talked about in TV shows like Numb3rs and Touch. What do you think? Are computers the answer to even our social problems?
There are many projects that utilize donated PC time from the public for distributed or grid computing projects. Here's a sampling of some of them (there are many more projects out there): http://boincstats.com/en/stats/projectStatsInfo TPU, for example, has two Teams where members contribute to the Folding@Home project (folding) and the World Community Grid project (crunching). Working as a Team allows for a more concentrated/cooperative effort on these projects
In my opinion, disease are not automatically cured by normal research without some project like folding or crunching, it could be but there are many research area that can and will benefit from extra computational information. example: there are some folding/crunching project focused to genetic research, the data from this will help accelerate other practical project by other normal research such as http://www.ted.com/talks/anthony_atala_printing_a_human_kidney.html, how the hell we will print our replacement kidney complete with the blood vessel if we don't calculate the genetic factor. As for our social problem, i believe almost every university in the world conducted social research each year and the number of the worldwide social research is always higher than Science research/experimental research, but only a tiny part of all those research take or use benefit of computational power of computer. and there are so many of our social problem that will surely benefit from computational data, currently i work in the research institute that have a social research on how the world weather (in the next 90 years) will affect on people, specially on their livelihood, how human social interaction will adapt, what the effect of human overpopulation on human livelihood if the weather is added as a factor, etc.. and i can only imagine what a huge boost if our institute have access to the power of computational power provided by project like folding or crunching. the world weather and human social is a perfect example of how huge the complexities, the affecting variable and factor is so huge that it almost impossible to be calculate by normal traditional research project. Are computer will be the answer of our social problem? It surely have a big potential to help or even solve some of our social problem, and the current folding/crunching project only the tip of the iceberg to demonstrate how the unused power of computing will benefit human live.
Yeah I'm specifically talking about computers for overpopulation problems. Mauriek touched on that, but via more weather than disease control related discussion. What I'm saying is I worry overpopulation will eventually creep up on us as bad or worse than the problem of pollution has. For so long we've had terminal diseases, but were they to vanish, the population would grow pretty quickly. It already grows at an exponential rate even WITH such diseases. I know a lot of people talk smack about China for their law on childbirth control, but honestly, they're about the only country taking this problem seriously. Many people enjoy sci fi stories involving post apocalyptic, overpopulated future scenarios, but do they really know it could become a reality? I guess for most, it's an attitude of, "it will never happen in my lifetime". Wouldn't it be ironic if future generations long after we're dead look back at us and curse us for ridding the world of terminal illnesses? Maybe we're just foolishly playing God with such aspirations. You look at every species on the planet, and nature's design seems to be one of survival of the fittest, not make everyone survive. Death is a vital part of life.
Ah i see what you mean..if we want to discuss specifically about overpopulation and the effect on that for the world and keep the discussion on the research platform, as far as i know there already few research funded by UN (ex:food security area) about that and few other research from big institute. None of the specific research are using distributed computing exclusively, however there are already some effort to integrate the data collected from distributed computing into other research, sharing some of the important data without causing patent/intellectual property violation. If we talk about overpopulation, disease and other natural cause are not the only factor that should be included in the research, other factor such as food and water supply, weather, human social/behavioral trend, technology, etc.. also be the key factor before deciding that the eradication of all disease will lead to apocalyptic scenario. Some of the point i remember from the research about population that Earth can sustain 2-3 times up to 5 time of current population if some of the condition are met, mainly condition about resource (food/water) on earth, and many research are almost based from the worst scenario possible. As for connection between crunching for WCG and finding the solution of overpopulation and other social problem i think there are 2 project that will be provide useful data for researcher. Computing for Clean Water https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/c4cw/overview.do The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/cep2/overview.do maybe the solution is still far away but small step must be taken before giant leap

Would anyone be willing and interested in doing a change from the usual settler rp in that each player would be a native, trying to survive and make the best of things when an empire encroach on their territories and start settling down among them? There would be events and a player driven story, with yours truly doing the NPCs and trying to keep things interesting for you all. You could be and become anything, and the world could also be pseudo historical or even futuristic where some RPG-like elements would be thrown in to make this clearer and more concrete for all.
I was thinking of either a rudimentary world or a vastly different one to the Empire as the play field, I need to decide between this and Historical or Futuristic and whether or not their would be magic on top of gathering interest, so any input would be greatly appreciated!

Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor behind recent revelations about secret government surveillance programs, denied Monday he has ties to the Chinese government and said his disclosures were motivated by disappointment in President Barack Obama.
Mr. Snowden, who is believed to be in Hong Kong, answered questions posed by readers at the website of the Guardian, the British newspaper that has published stories on his disclosures. He said he came forward because of what he viewed as the Obama administration's failure to follow through on campaign promises to make the government more transparent and accountable.
Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor behind a series of revelations about secret government surveillance programs, participated in an online forum Monday with the Guardian. Devlin Barrett has some of the highlights.
In the online forum, Mr. Snowden wrote: "Obama's campaign promises and election gave me faith that he would lead us toward fixing the problems he outlined in his quest for votes. Many Americans felt similarly. Unfortunately, shortly after assuming power, he closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law, deepened and expanded several abusive programs, and refused to spend the political capital to end the kind of human rights violations like we see in Guantanamo, where men still sit without charge,'' referring to the prison in Cuba run by the U.S. military.
In an interview on PBS's Charlie Rose show that aired Monday night, Mr. Obama said he plans to meet with a privacy and oversight board created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to help frame the debate about the surveillance programs. He said he has pushed the intelligence community to declassify information about the programs because he is concerned people aren't "getting the complete story."
Mr. Snowden saved his toughest remarks for critics such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, who on Sunday called him a traitor. "Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American,'' he wrote.
Mr. Snowden also scoffed at the suggestion he might be trying to exchange what he knows for safe haven in China, saying he has had no contact with the Chinese government.
"This is a predictable smear that I anticipated before going public, as the U.S. media has a knee-jerk 'RED CHINA!' reaction to anything involving [Hong Kong or the People's Republic of China] and is intended to distract from the issue of U.S. government misconduct,'' he wrote. "If I were a Chinese spy, why wouldn't I have flown directly into Beijing? I could be living in a palace…by now.''
China's foreign ministry said Monday that Mr. Snowden hasn't cooperated with the country and isn't a Chinese spy.
Mr. Snowden said previously he plans to fight any attempt to extradite him back to the U.S., where prosecutors are weighing potential charges but none have been filed publicly.
On Monday, Mr. Snowden's father told Fox News that he loves his son and wants him to come back to the U.S. to face whatever charges await him.
Lon Snowden said: "I hope, I pray and I ask that you will not release any secrets that could constitute treason…I sense that you're under much stress [from] what I've read recently, and [ask] that you not succumb to that stress…and make a bad decision.''
Since the disclosures in the Guardian and the Washington Post, U.S. officials have said some of Mr. Snowden's claims are overblown or misstated. Mr. Snowden stuck to his assertions.
Asked to be more specific about his allegation that NSA analysts can examine the content of emails, Mr. Snowden wrote that more details will be forthcoming, but added that if an analyst "has access to query raw (signals intelligence) databases, they can enter and get results for anything they want. Phone number, email, user ID, cell phone handset ID..... and so on—it's all the same."

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Highway driving (AP)
Safety officials say deaths of teen drivers increased sharply in the first six months of last year, reversing a decade-long trend.
A report from the Governors Highway Safety Association says deaths of 16- and 17-year-old drivers in traffic accidents in the first six months of 2012 were up 19 percent over the same period in the previous year. The association represents state highway safety offices.
Deaths of novice drivers dropped dramatically from 2000 to 2011. Traffic fatalities overall declined to historic lows during that time as well, although not as steeply as deaths of young drivers.
Federal data on traffic deaths for all of 2012 won't be available until later this year. An increase in traffic deaths overall is expected.

GNOME 3 is not ready yet
Posted Apr 25, 2009 10:44 UTC (Sat) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link]
Unless you're one of the roughly 2% of people who can use DRI2 and kernel modesetting, and possibly even then, compositing and other apps trying to use OpenGL really don't get on, IIRC.
Do you believe that'll be the case 2-3 years down the road? There are enough support to develop this thing now and if you'll be unable to use DRI2 and kernel modesetting when GNOME 3 will be ready it'll be your own fault...

I remember when Linux worked well even on machines more than three years old. (I generally upgrade only every eight years or so, because it takes that long for the old machine to start to seem slow.)
It's nice to know that this is being comprehensively forgotten.

I generally upgrade only every eight years or so,
Yep. All our desktops at work run Linux, and all of the machines are at least 5 years old. If GNOME stops working on our hardware, we'll switch our non-technical users to something else (probably XFCE.) The developers already stay away from GNOME, so no problems there.

Gnome discovered (after shipping unfortunately) that spatial actually sucks rocks in general usage. The distros turned off spatial for one release, Nautilus backpedaled, and within 6 months everything was back the way it was.
I also submit Longhorn for your consideration. Microsoft explored and marketed all these exciting new technologies, then jettisoned them all before shipping Vista.
Let the Gnome guys play for now. Hopefully they hit on some really neat new features. And hopefully the distros will paper over their mistakes.
Posted Apr 25, 2009 20:28 UTC (Sat) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link]
Do you only use Ubuntu for your desktop?
With Fedora and Debian, at least, spatial mode is still the default, and always have been the default since that was introduced by Gnome. As far as I know Ubuntu is the only one that does browser mode by default.
(Of course users can select one or the other)
Posted Apr 25, 2009 21:45 UTC (Sat) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link]
Microsoft and Apple ditched spatial almost a decade ago; I thought Linux had finally caught up. My condolences to anyone who still has to open and drag around 22 separate windows just to find the song you want to play. :)

"I try Fedora every few releases but I run into graphics (Radeon 3650) and printer (Samsung ML2510) driver issues, too lazy to fix em."
That would be a remarkable coincidence, since Fedora stays close to upstream and isn't likely to have broken those things in distro-specific patches.

Maine Takings Bill Will Be Back
George Smith
Jun 12 2012 - 7:29am
The controversy over a "takings" bill was set aside at the end of the legislative session. But that's not the end of the issue. Proponents and opponents both predicted the debate would be revived at the legislature next year.
If a government action reduces your property value by more than 50 percent, should you be compensated? Most people would say yes, of course. But that is where the agreement ends. The difficulty of determining that 50 percent of the value of your property has been taken, and creating a system to compensate you for that loss, makes this a very complicated and difficult issue.
No solid evidence was submitted to demonstrate that property values had diminished more than 50 percent by an action of the government. Some people cited shoreland zoning as an example – but the legislation exempted that, and all other action at the municipal level. It applied only to future action by the state government.
This was one of the more interesting legislative battles, extending from the 2011 session into the 2012 session, even though it ended with a whimper, with a vote to "indefinitely postponement" the bill in the Senate.
Here's how the two sides summed up their takings bill battle this session.
Tom Doak, Executive Director of the Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine, wrote this in the June issue of SWOAM News.
"The House-passed version would have allowed landowners to be compensated when regulation reduces their property value by 50 percent or more. The alternative version (majority report) that would have established a "complaint committee" to hear landowner grievances also failed. The minority report was considered by some to be too complex, while the majority report really didn't do anything. The gap between the two made it impossible to reach a compromise. I have no doubt the issue will be back next year."
And here's how Pete Didisheim of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, Jenn Burns Gray of Maine Audubon, and Maureen Drouin of Maine Conservation Voters presented their final report on the issue.
"The legislature defeated a controversial 'regulatory takings' bill that would have cost Maine taxpayers millions of dollars, caused a proliferation of lawsuits, and blocked future laws that may be necessary to protect Maine's environment, people, and communities… This risky, costly, and radical proposal would have undermined the laws that protect Maine's environment and communities. Despite a massive effort by lobbyists to force this dangerous bill through the legislature, a bipartisan majority held firm and refused to support it. Common sense won the day over ideology."
The difference in presentations on this issue gives you some insight into the lobbying styles of the two sides on this issue.
Both sides passed up a final opportunity to create a compromise in the Senate, offered by a bipartisan group of Senate and House members, in favor of reengaging on the issue in 2013.

Asus p9x79 deluxe system, AMI BIOS version 0906 (12/22/2011), win7 x64 sp1.
Want to report that the latest released intel rst-e drivers (version 220.127.116.1116) cause intermittent, sporadic bsods on my system (samsung 830 256 gb ssds in raid 1) with no overclocking, on average one BSOD a week; the bsods each have a different error message. There is no known trigger (although I had "patrol read" on and "write-back cache" on, which I will turn off today to see if that is the cause). The minidump files seems to point to the intel rst-e drivers, and memory test (memtest86+) and prime95 show no errors (mushkin 64 gb, 8 x 8GB, Enhanced Silverline PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V SDRAM DIMM, Non-ECC).
I'm will soon install the old version 188.8.131.523 drivers to see if it solves the problem.
Intel says support for the rst-e drivers is available only through asus.
Should I send the minidump files to someone here?

I am starting up a small business software company with a friend who happens to live in another state (I am in MA, he is in IL). We are planning on creating an LLC for liability protection, and are trying to figure out where to incorporate and whether we need to register as a foreign corporation in the other state (or if we should incorporate in some neutral state, such as Delaware). We will have no office, but both be working out of our home doing software consulting that we find through online marketing, while working on a software product.
There is little reason to choose a third state in which to form your LLC, because you will have to register (and pay annual fees) in the state(s) where you are doing business, in addition to the third state. So you should form the LLC in MA or IL. I don't know what the standard is for "doing business" - and thus needing to register as a foreign entity - in those states. In CA, it is "entering into repeated and successive transactions of its business in this state, other than interstate or foreign commerce". You might find Why (not) incorporate in Delaware? and Why (not) form an LLC in Nevada? helpful. Disclaimer: This post does not constitute legal advice and does not establish an attorney-client relationship. | |||||||||
Some folks on this site will recommend you register in Delaware, but in my opinion that's rarely the best option for startups. If you incorporate in a state other than your home state, you will have to register the LLC as a foreign entity in your home state. Registering as a foreign entity means that you will be required to pay the state fees every year. In your case, you will have to register as a foreign entity in at least one state because you will be doing business in two states. But if you register in Delaware (or any other state), you will have to register as a foreign entity in two states (MA and IL). IMO, the money you may save in taxes by registering in Delaware doesn't offset the money you will have to pay the states as a foreign entity. Another thing to consider is the tax structure of your LLC. Will your LLC be taxed like a partnership or a C-Corp? With partnership taxation (pass through taxation), the profits and losses of the business will pass through to you as the owner. This means that you will have to pay state income taxes on the profits in the same way you would if the LLC were regsitered in your home state. If you go with corporate taxation, the LLC pays income taxes according to the rules of the state it is incorporated in, and you as the owner will only pay income taxes on the portion you take out according to your state's rules. My advice would be to keep things simple and register the LLC in either MA or IL. You will still have to register the LLC in the other state as a foreign entity, but it saves you the work and hassle of also registering in Delaware. Also, if you haven't already, check out these other related questions previously asked on this site: Corporation type for internet based businesses? Can you register in any state? Where to corporate if founders are temporarily in two different states? Delaware LLC, one person, internet-only business; Do I need to register as a foreign corporation? | |||
