It's Now Easier Getting Packages In Ubuntu Main
Published on 06 January 2010 11:30 AM EST

Michael Larabel
6 Comments
While it's not too difficult to get your own package within Ubuntu's universe repository, it's more difficult to get a Debian package promoted to be within Ubuntu main, or the main repository that is officially supported by Canonical. However, the Ubuntu development community has decided to make that process a bit easier by eliminating some of the hurdles imposed when a package is initially rejected from being pushed into the main repository. Clarifying main package concerns used to require writing lengthy Wiki page entries, but now it's much more concise, simpler, and should be easier on everyone involved in the process.
The change regarding getting Debian packages into the main Ubuntu repository can be found in the announcement on

Turn Off Your Uter
by Mark Bowytz in Error'd on 2014-11-21
"Not quite sure what to do here... should I, or shouln't I turn of my computer... and what about my uter?" wrote Peter P.
On day one of the project, Kenneth was given a single rule that was to be followed under all circumstances. "You do not talk to the SAP contractors. They're too busy, and their time is too valuable. They do not have time for front-end developers."
As a front-end dev, Kenneth was used to being told to take his crayons and get back to work. A front-end dev forbidden from talking to the developers behind the back-end? What could go wrong.
What's in the box? And why does it smell so bad?
The product was a "redeem points for cool products" system. A customer could purchase a gift-box. The outside of the box was labeled with a public code, and the inside was labeled with a private code. A user could enter both codes into the system to redeem points. Those points could then be used to buy tchotchkes from their web store.
Alex's customers were having issues with a web project management console developed by a coworker. Upon opening the code to see what was causing all the JavaScript errors, he learned that the original developer was clearly an expert in web development standards. The code file itself was JavaScript. The use of the .css() function definitely proved his mastery of Cascading Style Sheets. Hard-coded tags demonstrated his deep knowledge of HTML. Finally, his variable naming scheme is essential to maintaining the coveted "Now I Know My ABC's" certification.
var i = "DivContainer"; var j = "DEFAULT"; var k = "DEFAULT"; var l = a(document.createElement("select")).css("min-width", "200px").append(a(document.createElement("option")).val("")); var m = a(document.createElement("select")).css("min-width", "200px").append(a(document.createElement("option")).val("")); var n = a(document.createElement("select")).css("min-width", "200px").append(a(document.createElement("option")).val("")); var o = a(document.createElement("input")).attr("name", "group1").attr("id", "RessRadio").attr("type", "radio"); var p = a(document.createElement("input")).css("width", "250px").attr("type", "text"); var q = a(document.createElement("input")).attr("id", "HiddenRessID").attr("type", "hidden"); var r = a(document.createElement("input")).attr("name", "group1").attr("type", "radio"); var s = a(document.createElement("input")).css("width", "250px").attr("type", "text"); var t = a(document.createElement("input")).attr("type", "hidden"); var u = a(document.createElement("a")).addClass("JButton").text("Display"); var v = a(document.createElement("label")).css("color", "Red"); var w = a(document.createElement("label")).text(" Display all employees assigned to a project: "); var x = a(document.createElement("label")).text(" Display all projects assigned to an employee: "); var y = a(a(this)[0]); y.append(""); f = a(document.createElement("div")); f.css("border-top", "1px solid Gray").css("width", "450px").css("padding", "5px"); f.append(a(document.createElement("table")).append(a(document.createElement("tr")).append(a("
").append(a("").text("President:"))).append(a(" ").append(l))).append(a(document.createElement("tr")).append(a(" ").append(a("").text("Vice-president:"))).append(a(" ").append(m))).append(a(document.createElement("tr")).append(a(" ").append(a("").text("Head office:"))).append(a(" ").append(n)))); y.append(f); y.append(a(document.createElement("br"))); y.append(u);
Several years back, I confessed to selling out. But there was a catch: instead of running those rubbish Google ads, we would run hand-picked ads from relevant tech companies.
This worked out wonderfully and, as many of you commented, you first heard about some really cool tools and services, here on the site. So, to commemorate the site relaunch, we wanted to do something really special and work with a select group of tools/companies in the industry to sponsor some entertaining content for you, our readers. You know, things like Radio WTF's Make It Work, OMGWTF Contest, or even Mandatory Fun Day.
The scene: late Friday afternoon, a medium-size company in a big-size panic. Tom and the other web developers churned through last-minute fixes on a client's new e-commerce site- a site that should've been done and deployed two weeks earlier.
Tom committed his latest changes on a CSS file to the SVN repository, wiping sweat from his brow. He updated his local repository, then went back to Dreamweaver, shaking his head. The company's web designers insisted the devs used Dreamweaver. It wasn't that bad, Tom supposed, but there were several better-
Simon worked in a small shop that supported a sales system. One of the features of the system was that sales commissions were stored in the database. For the sake of simplicity, the sales commissions were stored as the multiplier factor needed to compute the total sale. For example, a 5% commission on $100 would be $5, so the factor would be 1.05 so you could just multiply: 100 * 1.05 -> 105.
Of course, when they needed a report that showed the percent commission for a given sale, they had to work backward from the multiplier to get the actual value.
Citizen Blaine is the story of one genius developer's career. Last time, we saw the start of his arc of success. He started by accomplishing the seemingly impossible, and moved on to design the impossible system.
We last left Rich, the desparate developer on a deadline, trying to trace the mystery of Blaine's last word- "Rosebud". His search brought him to Dave, the salty and rude developer who maintains SLED, part of Blaine's legacy.
"So, Blaine leaves the SLED team to go start his supply-chain crapfest, right?" Dave said. "And allllll of the problems with SLED are somebody else's fault." Dave's eyes picked up an evil gleam as he turned to Rich. "He was home free… until Franz came in."
Error handling is not an easy task. Even the tiniest bit of code can fail in spectacular ways.
Luckily, modern programming languages tend to use at least some sort of exception model, which means that even if your program crashes, you'll still be able to obtain more debugging information than a "Segmentation fault" or other generic error message would provide.
Rich had a five-alarm project. Six months ago, the legal department became aware that government regulations on labeling would change. That information slowly ground its way through the intestines of the company, until a pile of poorly documented, barely specified changes landed on Rich's desk. If he didn't implement those changes in the next 48 hours, a half-million units of commodity chemicals were about to pour out of a processing plant and be illegal to ship.
The problem was confounded by the nature of the labeling system. It was tied into a home-grown, supply-chain management system. Theoretically, it was a one-stop shop for everything- formulations, MSDSes. In reality, it was a complicated thicket of unrelated applications which dragged data around between various silos, and usually crashed in the process. Rich had no idea what this change was going to involve. Only one person, the head of the Supply-Chain IT team, could point him in the right direction: Blaine.
Blaine's office was normally crammed with the awards, trophies, and various "atta-boy" certificates which honored him for a job well done around the company. Today, the walls were bare, and all of those meaningless honors were piled up in a box on his desk. Blaine ignored Rich, and finished packing his box.
Rich had heard countless complaints from Cindy in Finances that the reports were "slow".
Mostly though, he'd blown them off -- anything shy of instant was "slow" to her, and there wasn't a lot of room to go wrong in an SSRS package. Still, she was pretty, so he decided to take a look. Maybe he could speed up the reports and earn her gratitude. How bad could it be?
Given the title, most of you are expecting a story that goes as follows: Boy meets girl. Girl writes phone number inside a book in a used book store. Ten years pass and boy searches for book. Boy finds book and gets girl. But not this time. Instead, Andrew is the source of a story that ranks much higher on the believability scale.
Andrew's father worked for SmallishNicheCo where, like many small companies in the early 1990s, the sum total of IT knowledge was non-existent. Every problem and request was passed to an outsourced help desk, which in the tradition of solid customer service for which IT help desks have become renown, could take up to 3 days to acknowledge receipt much less dispatch a person to solve the problem. If you needed to have the brightness on your monitor adjusted, you were looking at 5-7 days. And that was after passing the gauntlet of questions to ensure the problem was 'real' (Is your computer plugged in? How about your monitor?)
Casa de Quixote is a small, state-run retirement community in La Mancha, in central Spain. Sergio continues his job as the sole developer of software managing hundreds of residents.
It's always a bonus when the same brave soul delivers multiple WTFs for our exasperation. Our very own man from La Mancha has been doing a lot of refactoring lately, retaining the GUI of his employer's Assistance-Management System while replacing the zany consultantware underneath with vastly improved code.
We've all dealt with marketing people who, in the very depths of their souls, believe that if they promise something to a customer, it will magically happen. Regardless of actual manpower, time or cost. It will work perfectly the first time, and every time, because they promised that it would. It will be cheaper than they expected because, let's face it, how hard could it be to build something, even if it's merely software...?

As I've said....without Wesker you're left with a shambling, rotting, zombie-hulk of a game. >_>
icarusflies77's comments
I love the Rabbids. Might get this.
Recently, and for no reason at all, I have become obsessed with Pikmin. This is weird because
a) I don't own any of the Pikmin games.
b) I haven't played any game involving Pikmin for years
c) I was kind of busy being obsessed with Herbert West, My Chemical Romance, AND Shoggoth on the Roof, and I'm not usually obsessed with four things at once
d) I can barely remember what happened yesterday…why am I remembering a video game now?
Well, luckily it's almost my birthday, so a) and b) will hopefully change soon..


text: Applications to Major Economic Issues Agriculture One of the most fruitful arenas for application of supply-and-demand analysis is agriculture. Improvements in agricultural technology mean that supply increases greatly, while demand for food rises less than proportionately with income. Hence free-market prices for foodstuffs tend to fall. No wonder governments have adopted a variety of programs, like crop restrictions, to prop up farm incomes. Impact of Tax A commodity tax shifts the supply-and- demand equilibrium. The tax's incidence (or impact on incomes) will fall more heavily on consumers than on producers to the degree that the demand is inelastic relative to supply. Minimum Floors and Maximum Ceilings Governments occasionally interfere with the workings of competitive markets by setting maximum ceilings or minimum floors on prices. In such situations, quantity supplied need no longer equal quantity demanded; ceilings lead to excess demand, while floors lead to excess supply. Sometimes, the interference may raise the incomes 1 of a particular group, as in the case of farmers or low- skilled workers. Often, distortions and inefficiencies result. Tax Incidence In economics, tax incidence is the analysis of the effect of a particular tax on the distribution of economic welfare. Tax incidence is said to "fall" upon the group that, at the end of the day, bears the burden of the tax. The key concept is that the tax incidence or tax burden does not depend on where the revenue is collected, but on the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply. For example, a tax on apple farmers might actually be paid by owners of agricultural land or consumers of apples. The theory of tax incidence has a number of practical results. For example, United States Security payroll are paid half by the employee and half by the employer. However, economists think that the worker is bearing almost the entire burden of the tax because the employer passes the tax on in the form of lower wages. The tax incidence is thus said to fall on the employee. Example of tax incidence Imagine a $1 tax on every barrel of apples an apple farmer produces. If the product (apples) is price inelastic to the consumer (where if price rose, a small demand loss will be 2 accounted for by the extra revenue), the farmer is able to pass the entire tax on to consumers of apples by raising the price by $1: consumers are bearing the entire burden of the tax; the tax incidence is falling on consumers. On the other hand, if the apple farmer can't raise prices, because the product is price elastic (if prices rise, more demand will be lost than the extra revenue made) the farmer will have to bear the burden of the tax of face decreased revenues: the tax incidence is falling on the farmer. If the apple farmer can raise prices only $0.50, then they are sharing the tax burden. When the tax incidence falls on the farmer, this burden will flow back to owners of the relevant factors of production, including agricultural land and employee wages. Where the tax incidence falls depends on the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply. Tax incidence falls mostly upon the group that responds least to price (the group that has the most inelastic price- quantity curve). Tax burden Main article: Tax incidence 3 Diagram illustrating taxes effect Law establishes from whom a tax is collected. In many countries, taxes are imposed on business (such as corporate taxes or portions of payroll taxes). However, who ultimately pays the tax (the tax "burden") is determined by the marketplace as taxes become embedded into production costs. Depending on how quantities supplied and demanded vary with price (the "elasticities" of supply and demand), a tax can be absorbed by the seller (in the form of lower pre-tax prices), or by the buyer (in the form of higher post-tax prices). If the elasticity of supply is low, more of the tax will be paid by the supplier. If the elasticity of demand is low, more will be paid by the customer. And contrariwise for the cases where those elasticities are high. If the seller is a competitive firm, the tax burden flows back to the factors of production depending on the elasticities thereof; this includes workers (in the form of lower wages), capital investors (in the form of loss to shareholders), landowners (in the form of lower rents) and entrepreneurs (in the form of lower wages of superintendence). To illustrate this relationship, suppose the market price of a product is US$1.00, and that a $0.50 tax is imposed on the product that, by law, is to be collected from the seller. If the product is a luxury (in the economic sense of the term), a greater portion of the tax will be absorbed by the seller. This is because a luxury good has elastic demand which would cause a large decline in quantity demanded for a small increase in price. Therefore in order to stabilise sales, the seller absorbs more of the additional tax burden. For example, the seller might drop the price of the product to $0.70 so that, after adding in the tax, the buyer pays a total of $1.20, or $0.20 more than he did before the $0.50 4 tax was imposed. In this example, the buyer has paid $0.20 of the $0.50 tax (in the form of a post-tax price) and the seller has paid the remaining $0.30 (in the form of a lower pre-tax price). Inelastic supply, elastic demand Because the producer is inelastic, he will produce the same quantity no matter what the price. Because the consumer is elastic, the consumer is very sensitive to price. A small increase in price leads to a large drop in the quantity demanded. The imposition of the tax causes the market price to increase from P without taxto P with tax and the quantity demanded to fall from Q without tax to Q with tax. Because the producer is inelastic, the quantity doesn't change much. Because the consumer is elastic and the producer is inelastic, the price doesn't change much. The producer is unable to pass the tax onto the consumer and the tax incidence falls on the producer. In this example, the tax is collected from the producer and the producer bears the tax burden. This is known as back shifting. Similarly-elastic supply and demand Most markets fall between these two extremes, and ultimately the incidence of tax is shared between producers and consumers in varying proportions. In this example, the consumers pay more than the producers, but not all of the tax. The area paid by consumers is obvious as the change in equilibrium price (between P without tax to P with tax); the remainder, being the difference between the new price and the cost of production at that quantity, is paid by the producers. 5 Inelastic demand, elastic supply Because the consumer is inelastic, he will demand the same quantity no matter what the price. Because the producer is elastic, the producer is very sensitive to price. A small drop in price leads to a large drop in the quantity produced. The imposition of the tax causes the market price to increase from P without tax to P with tax and the quantity demanded to fall from Q without tax to Q with tax. Because the consumer is inelastic, the quantity doesn't change much. Because the consumer is inelastic and the producer is elastic, the price changes dramatically. The change in price is very large. The producer is able to pass almost the entire value of the tax onto the consumer. Even though the tax is being collected from the producer the consumer is bearing the tax burden. The tax incidence is falling on the consumer, known as forward shifting. 6 Similar elasticities: burden shared Inelastic demand, elastic supply: the burden is on consumers. 7 Macroeconomic perspective The supply and demand for a good is deeply intertwined with the markets for the factors of production and for alternate goods and services that might be produced or consumed. Although legislators might be seeking to tax the apple industry, in reality it could turn out to be truck drivers who are hardest hit, if apple companies shift toward shipping by rail in response to their new cost. Or perhaps orange manufacturers will be the group most affected, if consumers decide to forgo oranges to maintain their previous level of apples at the now higher price. Ultimately, the burden of the tax falls on people—the owners, customers, or workers. However, the true burden of the tax cannot be properly assessed without knowing the use of the tax revenues. If the tax proceeds are employed in a manner that benefits owners more than producers and consumers then the burden of the tax will fall on producers and consumers. If the proceeds of the tax are used in a way that benefits producers and consumers, then owners suffer the tax burden. These are class distinctions concerning the distribution of costs and are not addressed in current tax incidence models. The US military offers major benefit to owners who produce offshore. Yet the tax levy to support this effort falls primarily on American producers and consumers. Corporations simply move out of the tax jurisdiction but still receive the property rights enforcement that is the mainstay of their income. 8 Other Considerations of Tax Burden Consider a 5% import tax applied equally to all imports (oil, autos, hula hoops, and brake rotors; steel, grain, everything) and a direct refund of every penny of collected revenue in the form of a direct egalitarian "Citizen's Dividend" to every person who files Income Tax returns. At the macro level (aggregate) the people as a whole will break even. But the people who consume foreign produced goods will bear more of the burden than the people who consume a mix of goods. The people who consume no foreign goods will bear none of the burden and actually receive an increase in utility. On the producer side, the tax burden distribution will depend on whether a firm produces its goods within the sovereignty or outside the sovereignty. Firms that produce goods inside the sovereignty will increase their market share and their profits when compared to firms who offshore their production. And if the current mix of firms is tilted toward offshore production then the owners of firms will be burdened more than the consumers while the workers/employees will benefit from greater employment opportunity. Clarification The burden from taxation is not just the quantity of tax paid (directly or indirectly), but the magnitude of the lost consumer surplus or producer surplus. The concepts are related but different. For example, imposing a $1000 per gallon of milk tax will raise no revenue (because legal milk production will stop), but this tax will cause substantial economic harm (lost consumer surplus and lost producer surplus). When examining tax incidence, it is 9 the lost consumer and producer surplus that is important. See the tax article for more discussion. Other practical results The theory of tax incidence has a large number of practical results, although economists dispute the magnitude and significance of these results: Because businesses are more sensitive to wages than employees, payroll taxes, employer mandates, and other taxes collected from the employer end up being borne by the employee. The tax is passed onto the employee in the form of lower wages. If the government requires employers to provide employees with health care, the burden of this is likely fall on the employee to a great degree because the employer may pass on the burden in the form of lower wages. Taxes on easily substitutable goods, such as oranges and tangerines, may be borne mostly by the producer because the demand curve for easily substitutable goods is quite elastic. Similarly, taxes on a business that can easily be relocated are likely be borne almost entirely by the residents of the taxing jurisdiction and not the owners of the business. The burden of tariffs (import taxes) on imported cars might fall largely on the producers of the cars because the demand curve for foreign cars might be elastic if car consumers may substitute a domestic car purchase for a foreign car purchase. If consumers drive the same number of miles regardless of gas prices, then a tax on gasoline will be 10 paid for by consumers and not oil companies (this is assuming that the price elasticity of supply of oil is high, which is incorrect. In this case both the price elasticity of demand and supply are very low). Who actually bears the economic burden of the tax is not affected by whether government collects the tax at the pump or directly from oil companies. Assessment Assessing tax incidence is a major economics subfield within the field of public finance. Most public finance economists acknowledge that nominal tax incidence (i.e. who writes the check to pay a tax) is not necessarily identical to actual economic burden of the tax, but disagree greatly among themselves on the extent to which market forces disturb the nominal tax incidence of various types of taxes in various circumstances. The effects of certain kinds of taxes, for example, the property tax, including their economic incidence, efficiency properties and distributional implications, have been the subject of a long and contentious debate among economists.[4] The empirical evidence tends support different economic models under different circumstances. For example, empirical evidence on property tax incidents tends to support one economic model, known as the "benefit tax" view in suburban areas, while tending to support another economic model, known as the "capital tax" view in urban and rural areas.[5] There is an inherent conflict in any model between considering many factors, which complicates the model 11 and makes it hard to apply, and using a simple model, which may limit the circumstances in which its predictions are empirically useful. A General Look at Market Policy Making When starting an analysis of government policies on markets it is important to focus on the goals of the policy makers, for tools that affect markets can be used for many purposes. In 1990, with the Federal government budget deficit spiraling even more out of control than before, the President (Bush) and congressional leaders held a budget "summit." While the focus of this meeting was to devise ways to bring down the deficit, secondary interests also played a role. One interest group suggested that sin taxes be used. That is, any new taxes or increases should be on things like tobacco and liquor. Besides raising more revenue for the government, sin taxes would discourage the use of these products, providing secondary health benefits. Another group suggested imposing an oil import fee. While an $8 per barrel fee would raise $30 billion (Newsweek, May 28, 1990, page 52) it would also lower our dependence on imported oil. Besides, with gasoline more expensive as a result, environmentalists argued that this tax would help curb pollution. Still further suggestions included axing bad or ineffective programs which subsidized individuals, for example cutting postal subsidies for charities (which contribute to the vast amounts of junk mail and solicitations many of us endure), railroad subsidies, and artists. Cutting subsidies for the Small Business Administration, and ranchers who 12 graze cattle on federal lands (the user fees do not cover the full cost, so in essence it is a subsidy) has also been suggested. All of these proposals would increase government revenues or lower government spending, and all would discourage some activity. There would be less driving and pollution with the oil import tax, fewer ranchers and small businesses and less junk mail if those subsidies were removed or diminished. What is most interesting here is that instead of focusing on how to raise revenue or close the gap, the focus is on who would be affected, and how much. Thus, we get a clear picture of multiple goals of policy making, and the complications it entails. While the focus is on closing the deficit, there is also interest on what is encouraged or discouraged. So the first issue a policy maker must face is the purpose of the policy. If the purpose is to raise revenue, most likely a tax (under one name or another) will be imposed. The focus will be on the amount of money that the tax will generate. Alternatively, to cut costs (by reducing subsidies), again the focus will be on dollars. And a major focus is who pays those dollars, the seller or the buyer. But often, there is the behavioral goal; to encourage or discourage some consumption. A general rule is taxes discourage consumption or actions, subsidies encourage consumption or actions. Usually, some consumption is discouraged if it has potential or real harm or undesirable characteristics. Taxes on foreign sources of oil, by making it more expensive and thus lowering the quantity demanded, remove our liability to future embargoes, where oil used as a weapon can hurt our economic well- 13 being. Or if some activity is polluting (like burning wood in a wood stove or fireplace) making it more expensive lowers individuals' propensity to burn. But some activities are considered beneficial. One reason charitable contributions are tax deductible is to encourage such contributions. Farmers are subsidized to ensure and support domestic sources of food. Local communities and states will make tax concessions or provide subsidies to new businesses to bring jobs to a community. Thus, interestingly, tax payers in one area of the country lower the cost of consumption in other areas of the country through local subsidies to bring in businesses and provide jobs. The subsidies lower the costs to the producers, which is then passed on to consumers elsewhere. An alternative approach to encouraging or discouraging activities is direct limits. This approach is most often applied to discourage activity. For example, limits might be placed on the amount of pollution that can be produced, or on access to wilderness areas for recreational purposes through a permit system. During the late 1970s, rationing of gasoline limited its consumption. If a minimal consumption level is to be mandated (encouraging consumption) often the government must step in as a provider. Direct minimum limits are not very common. Another possible focus of policy is to influence the price of a good. Rather than to encourage or discourage an activity, direct policies on prices usually directly benefit buyers or sellers. Price ceilings, such as rent control, are designed to directly make housing more affordable. And price floors, often on agricultural products like peanuts, barley or milk, are designed to ensure a minimum level of 14 profit to the producers. In these cases, little attention is usually given to the overall level of the activity. Overall government interventions in markets will usually result in one of two possible outcomes. Government interventions in markets often drive a wedge between the consumer's price and the producer's price, or drive a wedge between the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. Along the way there are unintended consequences. Depending on the policy picked, helping some producer of a good can hurt or help a consumer of that good. And, most importantly, keep in mind that nothing is free. Even a policy that helps both sides of a market has costs. Those costs just occur outside the market, so in the market analysis they are masked. This provides a basis for policy analysis. In the remainder of this chapter we will explore the technical effects of different policies, and then utilize the analysis again to understand goal-driven policy making. We will start with direct policies, those applied directly on price or quantity. We will then move onto the indirect policies of taxes and subsidies. Direct Policies on Prices The Wall Street Journal (June 13, 1990, page A15) had an interesting opinion piece about rent controls in New York City. When Jerold Ziman bought a $280,000 four story house, broken up into rent controlled apartments, a plethora of laws designed to protect tenants of apartments that have controlled rent prevented him from using the house for his family. Accompanying statistics to the story were shocking. The typical landlord of rent controlled 15 apartments in 1985 owned one building, was an immigrant, and had an annual income of between 10 and 40 thousand dollars. Tenants of these apartments are from a different class. Rent controlled apartments are most often found in middle- and upper-class neighborhoods. So much so that a legislator (from outside New York City) introduced a bill to eliminate rent control on any family with an income of $100,000 or more. Clearly, it is not only the poor being protected here. Among those mentioned in the article as benefiting from rent control are Mayor Dinkins, ex-Mayor Koch, judges, Mia Farrow and Alistair 16 . Price ceilings are designed pure and simple to ensure that consumers can afford a good. In figure 3.1 we show a typical market model of supply and demand. Left alone, the market would achieve equilibrium at a quantity of Q0 and a price of P0. If a policy maker (for some reason or another) decides that this price is too high, the result could be a legally mandated price ceiling. In New York City (and other places), for example, rapidly expanding rents provided the political muscle for rent controls. The impacts of a price ceiling are easily seen. In figure 3.2, a price ceiling of P1 imposes a wedge between quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Being able to get only P1, sellers supply only Qs units (as determined by the supply curve). But the quantity demanded is Qd, resulting in a persistent shortage of the good. While the price is lower, consumers cannot get as much of the good as they would 17 like. Those customers who actually get to purchase the good are better off, but some consumers, who are closed out of the market, are hurt. The tradeoffs become clear as we analyze the welfare implications of a price ceiling. Recall from chapter 2 that a measure of benefits is surplus value. Price ceilings unambiguously lower the seller's surplus in the market, and have uncertain affects on total consumer's surplus. Figure 3.3 illustrates a market prior to and subsequent to the imposition of a price ceiling. Before the ceiling equilibrium price is P0 and equilibrium quantity is Q0. At that point consumer's surplus is the area of the triangle abP0, and seller's surplus is the triangle P0bc. When a price ceiling of P1 is imposed, the quantity demanded increases to Qd while the quantity supplied falls to Qs. Clearly, since you cannot buy what is not available, the quantity actually sold will be the latter, at the ceiling price of P1. At this 18 point seller's surplus is the (much smaller) triangle P1dc, while consumer's surplus is the quadrangle aedP1. The net change for consumer's surplus is area of the rectangle P0fdP1 minus the area of the triangle efb. So, seller's surplus falls, while the change in total consumer's surplus is uncertain. Even if the overall change in consumer's surplus is positive, it is not clear that consumers as a group are better off. That is because we have assumed several things. First, the analysis just performed presumes that units are bought ordinals according to the demand curve. That is, the consumer with the highest reservation price buys the first unit, which with the second highest reservation prices the second unit, and so on as long as the good is available. While incentives are such that such an outcome is possible, it is an unlikely one that gives an upper bound on consumer's surplus with a price ceiling. If in fact the consumer with the highest reservation price does not get a unit, but instead someone with a reservation price near P1 gets a unit instead, actual consumer's surplus will be smaller. Second, we have been presumptuous to compare the consumer's surplus enjoyed by those who get the good to those who do not. In fact, such comparisons - called the interpersonal comparison of utility - is a major problem of economics. While overall consumers as a group may be better, some consumers are better off (enjoying a larger surplus value) and some are worse off (losing the surplus value illustrated by triangle efb). It is difficult to establish the net gain or loss for the entire group. In the context of the Pareto concepts developed in chapter 1, the market 19 with and without price ceilings are Pareto Noncomparable outcomes. Price ceilings are also deficient on efficiency grounds. Recall that the total surplus value (consumer's plus producers) gives a measure of the gains from trade. Without the ceiling the total surplus in the market was the triangle abc. After imposing a price ceiling it falls to the quadrangle aedc. There is a net loss of surplus value, called a dead-weight loss, since nobody picks it up, of the triangle ebd. Also, there are two groups of clear losers, the sellers of the good driven from the market by the artificially low price and the customers who are unable to get the good because of shortages. One group clearly gains, consumers who are able to purchase the good at the low price. The relative distribution of gains and losses from price ceilings depends primarily on the slopes of the supply and demand curves. Overall, the potential gain in consumer's surplus for those that get to purchase the good is larger if the demand curve is steep. 20

Title: Controlling agave pups from Galveston, TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Galveston, Tx.I have several large 5ft tall century plants in my yard and the pups are coming up everywhere..how do I control these??? HELP!!
Here is a recent Mr. Smarty Plants question and answer that, while it is from Southern California, addresses the same problem you are having - aggressive pups. Here is an excerpt from another recent answer (we really hate retyping the same thing) on the nomenclature of century plants.
"There are 10 plants with the common name "Century" plant native to North America, of which 7 are native to Texas. None are native, nor even very close to, Montgomery County, in southeastern Texas. All are members of the Agave genus and, since your plant may not only be not native to your area, it may even be a hybrid or native to Mexico, which means it is not in our Native Plant Database at all. Here are three of the Texas natives, with maps for each from the USDA Plant Profiles, showing in which counties they are native:
Agave univittata (Maguey mezortillo) (Map) native closest to Montgomery County, in Kennedy and Starr Counties on the far southern tip of Texas.
Agave havardiana (Havard's century plant) (Map) native to to Jeff Davis, Pecos and Brewster Counties, in the West Texas Big Bend areas
Agave parryi (Parry's agave) (Map) native to Culberson, Jeff Davis and Brewster Counties, also in Big Bend Area"
If you follow the links to the USDA Plant Profile maps above, you will see that Galveston County is no closer to where these plants are native than is Montgomery County. We suspect that living down there with all that Gulf moisture available has inspired your plants to throw out lots of children.
In the first link above that we provided you, there are several more links to questions on removing the somewhat aggressive pups. We can only wish you good luck, sorry.

G0 Q6600 overclocking
So, my sig lies, I haven't had this overclocked since I instlaled windows 7 and now that it seems stable (as stable as a non release version of windows can be) I'm going to start overclocking again... but this time foregoing the conservative 333 fsb and hoping for 400 which would be about 3.6ghz
Thing is though... is this realistic for the C2Q series? I see it alot on the dual cores (and up to 4ghz) but i don't see many people pushing the quad to those speeds.
And before you have to ask, yes it has pretty good cooling. I'm still using a Zalman 7700cu (remember those)... the same one that graced my Opteron 165 (1.8ghz @ 2.6ghz) for more than 3 years.
Anyway, I'm excited to try this out again.... what's the key stuff you guys use for testing stability? is prime95 + ati tool the defacto stability testers still?
and one more thing... what's a "high" voltage for these? 1.325 is stock and I've seen people push theirs up to 1.4 but it just seems quite high to me....
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Realistic, yes. On that heatsink? probably not.
The VID of G0s varies, the one I had was 1.31 ish
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
My VID is 1.2500V and my Q6600 G0 is currently OC'ed to the speed in my sig! :D It is very relaistic... but keep in mind your memory might hold you back... I had to move to the RAM in my sig from the 4 sticks of DD2-800 I had before. Could have been to much stress on the NB or just crappy ram. Either way... I managed 3.7Ghz stable on this rig, but it ran pretty hot so I took it down to the speed I have listed now :) Good luck and keep us posted! I run Orthos and max out all cores that way by setting the affinity of that program instance for the 4 cores on the CPU.
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
They are a truely great chip the Q6600 G0. The good thing about the 65mm chips, is they can handle more volts than there 45mm counterparts.
I used to run mine at 3.6Ghz 1.45 volts prime95 stable. It still runs fine today, in a mates PC.
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Make sure you try OCing with an 8x multiplier. I had much better luck with that :). Also the higher FSB will help make it faster, too.
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
so after playing with it 2 things are apparent.
400x9 is not stable, i haven't investigated if it's voltage or what but I think that's what it would be unless the processor can't handle that fsb speed because 400x8 wasn't very stable either.
intel's speedstep is crap....
and @ the comment about my memory... it should be fine if it's in a 1:1 ratio at 400mhz right.... I see no reason why that would hold me back if it's at the "stock" memory speed unless there's a relationship I'm not aware of. But yes, I do plan on going to a 1:1 relationship for the memory with the 400 fsb.
so it sounds like 1.45v is the high end of the spectrum for voltage?
Also I'm pretty confident in this heatsink... is there any reason I shouldn't be? I know the 95xx series from zalman was the "new high end" back in like '05 after I bought this... but have things really changed that much since then?
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
3.2 (400x8) on 1.375 v.... seems kind of high but not horrible. I might push for 3.6 but I"m not sure if I want to try that high of a voltage
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Well it's pretty decent cooling.... better than stock I'm sure but I'm not quite sure how it stacks up now-days against the big name heatsinks
Zalman 7700cu
all copper - flowery heatsink... not heatpipes but before this tower - heatpipe era dawned it was top dog. it's also the big 120mm fan version so it pumps a good amoutn of air...
Just one thing though... what are you guys using to monitor cpu temps? I used to use motherboard monitor because it had the nice little tray feature but now that I'm running 4 cores I'd like to see the breakdown of the actual core temps... I was using speedfan before but the fluctation in core temps made me weary of it's accuracy.
Re: G0 Q6600 overclocking
Use real temp. I don't think the Zalman 7700cu will keep up on higher clocks speeds due to temps.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill on schedule: NFL 'gave us a lot of respect'
It's not quite a holiday, but let's face it, a lot of people treat the release of the NFL schedule as one.
That happened Wednesday, and fans of all 32 teams got to visualize for the first time how their teams' 2014 campaign might play out.
In Arizona, fans of the Cardinals seem to be pretty happy with the way the schedule makers set up their team. For the first time in team history, Arizona will play prime time games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights.
Cardinals president Michael Bidwill is also pleased.
"So many times over history, the NFL schedule makers haven't given us a lot of respect, but there's no doubt this year, they gave us a lot of respect," Bidwill told Doug and Wolf Thursday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "I think we deserved it after going 10-6 and what Bruce Arians, the other coaches and the players did on the field was really amazing.
"So we got a lot of respect from the league. Including our preseason, we've got four nationally televised games. I like our schedule a lot."
The Cardinals open up on Monday Night Football Sept. 8 when they host the San Diego Chargers at University of Phoenix Stadium. The other two prime time regular-season games are NFC West tilts that come much later in the schedule. In Week 15, the Cardinals travel to St. Louis to take on the Rams in a Thursday night affair. That's followed by a Sunday night home game against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
In fact, five of the Cardinals' six division games come in Week 10 or later, including three straight to end the season.
Bidwill has no problem with that, either
"I think it's a positive. I think it's going to be more exciting for the fans," he said. "It certainly puts more pressure on us to do what we did last year, which is finish very strong -- and we did.
"I like the idea of finishing the year at San Francisco. In 2013, they certainly stung us with a last-second field goal. That's going to be a very interesting game because a lot could be at stake those last two weeks of the season."

Saratoga County
ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. -- The daughter of rock star Jon Bon Jovi is facing drug charges after police say she overdosed on heroin at Hamilton College.
Kirkland police responded to the call for help just before 2 a.m. Stephanie Bongiovi, 19, was taken to the hospital. We're not sure of her current condition. Following a search at a Hamilton dorm, Bongiovi was arrested and charged with three misdemeanors and a violation relating to drug possession.
Another student, Ian Grant, 21, also faces a misdemeanor drug charge. Both Grant and Bongiovi are from Red Bank, New Jersey. They were released pending a future court appearance. Hamilton College says the students' actions violate college policy, and they are cooperating with police. YNN is reaching out to Bon Jovi's publicist for any comment they may have.
