high edu should not be a piece of paper to get a job and even then lot's of IT jobs need more hands on learning and less class room theory!
I find it a little ironic that your error-ridden post advocates less classroom theory. "lot's" doesn't mean anything and should be "lots"; it's "hands-on", not "hands on"; it's "classroom", not "class room"; and your statement should really be two sentences, rather than one with two halves smashed together with an "and" thrown between.
(To be clear, I'm not judging the content of your post--I don't have enough experience with IT education to pass judgement--I'm just commenting on its irony.)
I liked the guy commenting on the usefulness of PhDs the other day using "then" instead of "than". Actually, I hated that, but I liked the irony.
I find it a little ironic that your smug-ridden post entirely fail to understand what the post you replied to were saying.
First off, I would point out that "lot's" does indeed mean something, in this case it's of course a shorthand for "parking lot's" - which clearly shows that the author meant that today's education lacked enough knowledge and experience to fill several parking lot's.
Further on, the gentleman was unambigiously also requesting a more educational focus on Hands-on computing [wikipedia.org], which is, regret

From a purely grammatical point, "lots" would be the plural of "lot", so the second half of that statement is kind of amusing.
The word "lot's" would have to be possessive ("that lot's grade runs downhill and to the left") or contractive ("that l
"lot's" doesn't mean anything
Sure it does:
Lot's a word I use a lot.
Makes perfect grammatical sense.
Employment should have never been the incentive for going to college. Learning should have been.
Of course, it's hard to feel bed for someone who can't get a job based on their BA degree in 'History', or 'art lit'.
Seriously, their great programs, but how many time have you seen 'History' major wanted listed on craigslist?
Personally, I wouldn't want someone with a high school diploma or GED designing the buildings I live and work in.
But with concern to many things... yes, a degree should not be a requirement, and I have no idea what these people thought they were going to do with their lives and their loan debt.
That's what licensing is for. If they're properly licensed to do the job, does it matter whether they went to learn?
Wow... I think I would want the person designing the buildings I live in and work in to have *at a minimum* a high school diploma or a GED. I'm fairly certain I would want them to have a university diploma in a related field as well. That, or at least have drawings signed off by somebody with the requisite training and certification.
Haha, oops.
We mean the same thing. I meant that I wouldn't want that person to just have a high school diploma or GED, that I would prefer a university as well.
Too much implicit there. My bad.
The CIA regularly hires history majors.
The CIA regularly hires history majors.
I attend a university with a particularly strong liberal arts program. Nearly all of my friends who were liberal arts majors (and graduated within the past 5 years) have been quickly scooped up by various government agencies in Washington.
That's because no one else will hire them.
The Fed doesnt care what your degree is to any great extent. There are a few restrictions on things like engineering jobs, but it's really just a checkbox. The real BS is that they won't hire people with experience if they can't mark the checkbox. I've worked with people who had 30 yrs of experience but not the 'right' degree. They couldn't get past the data entry phase of the process.
You know the old saying: those who fail to learn from history are doomed to forever work in the private sector.
That's damned near the funniest, and most true, statement I've ever seen on
Of course, it's hard to feel bed for someone who can't get a job based on their BA degree in 'History', or 'art lit'. Seriously, their great programs, but how many time have you seen 'History' major wanted listed on craigslist?
All degree holders are employable, just not necessarily in their fields of study. I once sat in on a presentation named something like careers for history majors. Basically the speaker said that many jobs require a 4-year degree, any degree will do. Typically these are entry level managements jobs.
Keep in mind that while a degree demonstrates some level of knowledge in a particular field, it also demonstrates the ability to complete a long, boring and bureaucratic process. There is value in the later.
I think it's just an easy way for the HR people to say, "Yep, Sally can read, write, and do basic math. We know because she has a college degree." It's a hell of a lot easier than testing everyone who applies. Thanks to the modern public school system using "social promotion" and graduating everyone who doesn't drop out, employers have no idea who they're looking at when you walk in the door. Years ago, a high school diploma actually meant something. Nowadays, in the spirit of "inclusiveness" and self-esteem-masturbation, the standards have fallen far from where they were, say, 50 years ago. If you need proof, try reading a book written in the 1800s. The grammar and vocabulary was far more complex. What we now call "college-level reading" was 6th-grade material back then.
Employers also get a huge number of applicants. Quickly reducing that number by simple filtering-- degree, certs, etc-- narrows the list quite a bit.
If you need proof, try reading a book written in the 1800s.
Several problems with that. Firstly, books were much more expensive to print, which acted on a filter on quality. Secondly, less well educated people simply couldn't read. Thirdly, and most importantly by a very long way:
All the completely crap books from the 1800s have ended up in the obscurity they deserve, whereas you can see the crap books from late 2011 on the bookshelves right now.
Time is an amazing filter of quality.
the standards have fallen far from where they were, say, 50 years ago. If you need proof, try reading a book written in the 1800s.
Actually, you may have provided some proof yourself by implying that content in a 200-year-old book proves that standards have fallen in the last 50 years--unless you're in your seventies, I suppose.
In all seriousness, though, I would like to see some proof that educational standards have dropped in the last 50 years
I somewhat agree with your point about material from centuries ago, though it seems to me that rote memorization was much more common in the past. Many of the questions on this [typepad.com] purported "8th Grade Examination from late 1800's" are superficially impressive, but really amount to rather useless memorization:
Give the epochs into which U. S. History is divided.
Name and describe the following: Monrovia, Odessa, Denver, Manitoba, Hecla, Yukon, St. Helena, Juan Fernandez, Aspinwall & Orinoco.
The arithmetic section I linked mostly consists of unit conversions, which are again superficially impressive. In 8th grade my classmates were covering conic sections, which are less "mechanical" than plugging numbers in to conversion formulas, and I would say they're more difficult. Oddly enough, in this UPenn catalog [upenn.edu] from 1852, conic sections were a junior level (in college) topic. To be fair, that catalog also lists basic calculus (I imagine the equivalent of Calc 1 and 2) in addition to a dizzying number of topics on history, philosophy, Greek, Latin, "natural philosophy", and chemistry.
Today, there's just far too much information to absorb. Learning how to understand things quickly as they come up is more important than memorizing small chunks of human knowledge, even if it's less impressive. Perhaps students in the past were more studious as well, though things aren't all bad.
"Keep in mind that while a degree demonstrates some level of knowledge in a particular field, it also demonstrates the ability to complete a long, boring and bureaucratic process. There is value in the later."
But anyone is capable of this, seriously.
When the subject matter just requires you to be able to sit through a bunch of monotonous crap and just remember things then I don't think there really are many people who can't do this. There are a lot of students that go to uni purely for the lifestyle, and to

Sure, any mature person basic literacy skills and an orderly life not overly afflicted with unique circumstance (the strange prevalence of rare illness in the long tail of evolutionary ferment).

However some people have a hard time finishing what they start, even very gifted people. The key word in the earlier post is "complete". The college grad demonstrated the ability to finish what they start.
There are a lot of students that go to uni purely for the lifestyle, and to avoid going straight into employment.
Well in that case the grad has demonstrated the ability to find some balance between work and partying to the extent that they can perform to some minimum expected standard on the "work" side of life. That can also be of value to an employer. Its not like people who love to party stop because they get a jo
Keep in mind that while a degree demonstrates some level of knowledge in a particular field, it also demonstrates the ability to complete a long, boring and bureaucratic process. There is value in the [latter].
But anyone is capable of this, seriously.
Not true. Boredom and stifling bureaucracy has hounded me all my life. I can't stand sitting in a lecture hall where the speaker's putting me to sleep. I far prefer to slide out to the library, or arts & crafts, or anything where I'd actually learn something of some value.
A degree can also go some way to prove that the holder of it is partially an over-civilized sheep, one who can put up with pretty much anything and not complain. I seldom consider that kind of thinking virtuous. The situation won'
It IS quantifiable if you can get a promotion due to it, or when you interview, or go for a certification.

When employment is no longer an incentive for going to college, we have to find ways to provide education or our entire country (And the world) will suffer when we have a nation of troglodytes.
The AI course is boring as hell. It's not at all remotely what I expect from an Engineering curriculum in lectures. It's extremely weak. If that's the idea of the future of education than we're screwing ourselves out of the future. The Lectures via YouTube should be an extension, not the end game, when it comes to teaching.
I think you didn't watch the video where it said the classes were meant to excite people into learning and using that branch of computer science.
It's an introduction to Artificial Intelligence. I guess you find the book boring as hell too, right?
Shouldn't an introduction that is supposed to excite people into learning be, you know, not boring?
Physics aren't particularly exciting either, but a while ago I watched videos of Walter Lewin's [mit.edu] physics lectures at MIT, and they were fantastic, to the point of making me want to learn physics even though I have at most a high-school level of physics and it's completely unrelated to what I am currently doing and what I'm planning to do in the future.
... this seems to be the most cost effective and efficient way to educate those who are young.
To hell with the young. I'm over 50, and this looks damned attractive to me. With "Stanford Graduate" on my resume, I'll be unstoppable! Mwua, ha, ha, haaaa!
Seriously, there's a lot of support out there for the under 30 crowd. Not so much for us older folk. Ptheh.
I'm taking the AI class right now. While there are constraints on the complexity of questions they can ask and what they can expect to teach online, it's still very interesting. At the very least it presents an involved beginners guide as a starting point in this field.
I've never taken any other online courses, but having quizes mixed into the lectures is a really good idea. Makes you really think about the material as you are going through it.
I'm taking all three courses being offered right now: AI, machine learning, and intro to databases. The AI class uses its own unique software platform, while the other two share one (which will presumably be used for most or all of next quarter's classes).
I like the other two much better than the AI class for several reasons: first, because they make those mid-lecture quizzes optional and also allow the lectures to be downloaded instead of streamed. Second, I like how, unlike the AI class, the other two have actual programming exercises. Third, I like how the homework questions for the other two are presented in a normal web form format (whereas the AI class "homeworks" require you to watch a video of the instructor reading the questions) and also allow multiple submissions.
By the way, as a concrete example of what I dislike about the AI class: we just took the midterm (I got a 96%!), and I'm trying to find out which of the 15 questions I missed. To do so, I have to go re-stream each question video in turn until I figure out which one I got wrong.
In contrast, when I took the database class midterm, immediately upon submitting the web form containing my answers, I was served a page containing my score, the questions, my responses, and an explanation of each -- in a few kB of HTML, not a tedious half-hour of video.
To do so, I have to go re-stream each question video in turn until I figure out which one I got wrong.
No you don't. Click the "Progress" navbar link. Click Homework / Exams. Click the right-pointing arrow on the left edge of the Midterm header to expand a list of questions and how many sub-questions you got correct out of the number possible. Say you missed a part on Question 01. Click the Question 01 link. It will take you directly to the answer page and show your wrong answers in red.
I only got a 91%, but seem to have scored higher on the "using the web interface" section.
Hey, thanks!
Of course, having to stream those videos to answer homework or exam questions is still a pain in the ass the first time around.
Yeah, I've switched to using Safari's Activity monitor to identify the
The only things I lack are answer videos. I'm thinking of going back and grabbing them, but it's still slightly time-consuming and not always useful.
To do so, I have to go re-stream each question video in turn until I figure out which one I got wrong.
No you don't. Click the question mark next to the video link on the Course page in the Available Units list and it'll take you right to the question. You can also skip the quizzes by clicking on the link to the next video.
I'm taking all three classes also, and like you I greatly prefer the Database and Machine Learning classes over the AI class.
In DB and ML I can download the videos and watch them locally. I can download the notes, which are available as PDFs (as well as other formats). I can either download the exercises, the software to do the work locally, or can save the web page locally from the completed exercises. This means that for the ML and DB classes, I can easily create a complete local record of my work. [T
In addition, the AI class constantly ambushes the student with questions that have not yet been covered, and then cover the material afterward. Ugh. That's frustrating. That's a teaching method I call "here's what I should have taught you before asking you this question", or if I were less generous, "here's why you're wrong." It's not a good method of teaching, IMHO.
I have to disagree with this. It's more of a Socratic method than anything else, and I haven't seen any unreasonable questions. Personally, I l
In the AI class, both presenters are making video of paper they're writing onto, and constantly waving a pen above the page in the video, making it tricky to find a place the video can be stopped. The videos are embedded YouTube videos, and it takes about 2 seconds for the video to actually stop once the pause button has been pressed, and once it pauses the controls come up and cover up the bottom part of the video.
While I still agree that PDF notes would be much better, any screenshot program that freezes the screen would solve most of your problem. I use Ashampoo Snap, and I still have to wait for the pen to be in a place that doesn't block anything, but it freezes the screen whenever I press the shortcut (then I can clip just what I want).
Third, I like how the homework questions for the other two are presented in a normal web form format (whereas the AI class "homeworks" require you to watch a video of the instructor reading the questions) and also allow multiple submissions.
I am taking the two AI classes, and I find that pretty annoying too. It also takes a lot more time than just reading the notes, and even worse - all the time they have to post corrections and clarification in text below the video, whereas they would just edit the question if it was in text format.
This is the way education should be, available to anyone with an interest. MIT has a similar program with content freely available I believe: http://ocw.mit.edu/ [mit.edu] . IMHO this is what libraries will eventually evolve into. This type of knowledge sharing is the root of a libraries books are about, and getting that content from the expert source in the field is hard to beat. Definitely cool stuff.
The last time I looked, MIT does not have lectures online. On the other hand, all the free (and not free) Stanford lectures I've seen have been wonderful.
MIT has some lectures online. For example, Gilbert Strang's excellent linear algebra video lectures are available, as well as some other classes he's taught.
And it was all started by ArsDigita University way back when.
The difference between these classes and MIT's OpenCourseware is that these classes have a schedule with assignments and grades.
For many people, such as procrastinators and those motivated by competing with the other students (since participants get a class ranking at the end), that makes a huge difference.
Yes, but right now Stanford is pwning MIT with online class offering. Come on MIT, step it up!
That might work well for some subjects and some students, but it's naive to say the least to suggest that this is likely to be a viable replacement of the educational system any time soon.
The reason it's far off isn't the means of communicating it, it's the students, the students haven't evolved to the point where they don't need a teacher or at least a tutor at most points of the process. Sure there are a few that don't need any help at all, but there's little to no evidence to suggest that they're the sta
You're still missing out on the course projects, which are probably the most valuable piece. The Stanford students in the AI course get to work on programming projects, and they get evaluated on those by actual humans. Of course those projects are also available to you if you want to work on them on your own, but there's no actual incentive on finishing them, nor any interaction with other students or a TA.
Also, the machine learning course is a "dumbed down" version. The programming assignments are more of
You can receive credit. Look into Stanford Center for Professional Development @ http://scpd.stanford.edu/.
NOTE: This cost 4k+ per 4 unit course.
I can't find the P.E. or the basket weaving courses anywhere.
I can't find the P.E. or the basket weaving courses anywhere.
I believe the basket weaving courses are in the anthropology department.
As for Penis Enlargement, there are lots of "courses" available on the Internet.
I believe this will be helpful for many that are willing to learn but can't go to a university (for a variety of reasons). Teenagers that want to go ahead and learn more and faster than what their high-school teaches them will be able to do so, at a low cost. Those who simply want to expand their knowledge will also be able to do so at a low cost and in a flexible time.
I twisted my office mate's arm to take the Database course. He's a web designer with a print layout background, and has been trying to get into programming to expand career options (he's maxed out as a designer).
The class has been hugely challenging and rewarding for him - he's not had math above Algebra II before, and that was over 30 years ago, so it's hard, but he is starting to truly understand SQL instead of just guessing, and he's understanding the concepts of abstract types, formal grammars, and so on.
Really a tremendous improvement over the video lectures and static course materials offered from other online courses. The quizzes and interactive exercises are superb. I can't say enough about the class, and will be bashing his head in to take the intro to CS class.
Nobody's actually finished a class yet (they only started doing it this quarter, which isn't over until December -- the two classes with midterms just had them last week). Presumably, one would need to actually have received the certificate of completion before trying to use it to obtain credit.
If you view the video from AI-class.com, does it get counted on YouTube?
(And I didn't think the videos allowed answering the homework/quiz questions when viewed on YouTube anyway...)
Also the more ambiguous the video, the higher is its view count!
LOL! That's a great observation; I hope they use that to help evaluate their lecture quality.
Now, here's a question: is the view count heuristic admissible? ; )
It is, as it never overestimates the real cost.
I taught myself CS better than Stanford teaches, and I expect many others can do so, too.
What I can't do myself is teach myself history as well as it's taught by Harvard to the people who go out and run the world. When does that go online? And not some faked version for the masses - the same version that Harvard grads learned and were graded on.
There is also a link at the bottom of the cs101 page that takes you to the real crypto class page.
Are you sure the link is broken? Maybe it's the first lesson; security by obscurity doesn't work.
Schools practically invented the internet, yet they seem to be the last ones to embrace it for actually teaching students. With today's technology, an entire class should be able to interact with an instructor in completely online sessions. Imagine going to school without having to leave the house. Some schools (like U of Phoenix) offer degrees but for only a very few majors. And then they get ridiculed for not being "a real school". WTF?
I just watched a number of the course previews for a variety of the online professional development courses from Stanford as I was seriously thinking about doing one of their certificates. I also checked out ClassX, which has some classes on it. I'm having second thoughts because I fear I'll be bored to death by the experience. I've been out of university almost 20 years, but it's clear that they haven't changed much and the flow of information from instructor to student is agonizingly slow. Maybe I'm spoil
I actually agree.... but... I think this is a great first step. This is new territory for them, and putting normal lectures to video is an easy way to start, that costs almost nothing.
It is slow, I get you. I have been watching some of their "continuing ed" classes, Quantum Entanglements and Quantum Mechanics. Great stuff, but its even slower than normal undergrad.
Anyway, yah, taped lectures kinda suck, but, at least there is pause, forward, rewind, and can be rewatched later, and can be watched on my sched
I am a physics student, so none of this is directly my field. But we have a lot of computer-related courses here, so I decided to improve upon them and started watching Machine Learning. The videos were interesting, although their level was more suitable for high school, but I thought that's just for the intros.
Then the first assignment came. I wrote a blog post [noughmad.com] comparing this course with another one at my university (of Ljubljana, Slovenia). Basically, the assignment from Stanford was 15 pages of instructions to write four lines of code. Yes, you read that right: all the framework code was there, all I had to do was write a linear function in Octave. On the other hand, Slovene physics student are expected to produce all their own code, and around 10 pages of reports with graphs and formulas, every week. And we only get one page of instructions, specifying only the problem, and leaving the tool and the solutions to the students. Both assignments are linked to in the blog post.
Seeing the course takes too much time to read through and doesn't teach me anything, I quit after the second assignment. Maybe it got harder since then, but I didn't really have time to check.
I don't know about the course, however when I did my degree, the courses tended to start out easy for the first few lectures/wuestions, then ramp up very quickly to being very hard. I would wait a bit before deciding to abandon the course.
Also, courses are not always interleaved perfectly. Despite the course being designed as a coherent whole, the lecturer for a course on one topic may pitch it under the ending level for a course on a prerequisite (e.g. maths).
BTW: to me, producing 10 pages of reports per w
That's a pretty unfair (and sloppy) comparison. These are introductory CS courses which, as a rule, are quite low-level, so they're accessible to many people from different majors. Your Model Analysis course presumably builds upon several years of other courses--at least, I would be quite impressed if the necessary calculus and Lagrangian mechanics were taught in standard high schools. By that point you expect more from students, and almost no non-physics majors would have the background to take the course,
Yeah, that's why there are so many Nobel prize winners from Slovenia. Because your education system is superior.

That guy's name doesn't sound too Slovenian to me. Oh, that's right, that's because he was born and educated in Austria!
It's like in any other field: it's not what you have, it's what you do with it. There's very little that's new for me in ML class, but I'm taking it anyway as a refresher. It's been years since I've done anything ML r

China has appointed a new army chief of staff and other top officers in the runup to next month's national leadership transition, amid efforts to further professionalize the world's largest standing military and ensure its loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The Chinese Ministry of National Defense yesterday announced that Fang Fenghui (房峰輝) is taking over as chief administrator of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) with responsibilities for supervising recruiting, training and other key functions.
The appointment puts Fang, a former head of the military region that includes Beijing, firmly on track for a position on the Central Military Commission overseeing the 2.3 million-member PLA. The new lineup of the 12-member body led by Chinese President and CCP leader Hu Jintao (胡錦濤) will be announced at the party's national congress, which begins Nov. 8.
The appointments were long anticipated as part of the transition to incoming party leader and Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (習近平), who, despite taking over the reins, is believed to have relatively little say in the naming of new military leaders. Instead, the selections reflect the choices of Hu, who oversaw the advancement of officers such as Fang during his decade in power.
Hu promoted Fang to full general in 2010, one year after commanding an elaborate and highly prestigious military parade celebrating the 60th anniversary of the communist state.
China's armed forces have undergone a massive upgrading in weapons and tactics in recent years, spurred by double-digit percentage increases in the defense budget and Beijing's increasing willingness to assert its maritime territorial claims.
Meanwhile, Liu Qibao (劉奇葆), a loyal ally of Hu, is the front-runner to become propaganda minister, two sources said, but while media-savvy, Liu is unlikely to drastically loosen tight controls.
"Liu Qibao is likely to take over as propaganda minister unless there is a change at the last minute," one source said, requesting anonymity to avoid repercussions for discussing secretive elite politics.
A second source confirmed that Liu was the front-runner for the position.
The post is vital to both instilling confidence in the party and its policies and ensuring a monopoly on the flow of information, something which is getting harder in modern, wired China, with Web sites and several feisty new publications straining at the leash to uncover corruption and abuse of power.
Whoever runs it will be in charge of disseminating official policy and viewpoints, as well as trying to combat rumors spread by the growing lack of public trust in mainstream state-run media's often mundane and occasionally dubious reporting.
Liu, 59, is currently party boss of the populous southwestern province of Sichuan, a job he was given in 2007. He won plaudits for rebuilding areas struck by the massive 2008 earthquake in which at least 87,000 people died.
Liu can be media-savvy, engaging ordinary people's problems via online questions and using the popular Twitter-like microblog Sina Weibo to send messages, unusual for a senior Chinese official.
"Speaking the truth — these are the best words you can use," state media quoted Liu as telling a forum last year. "If you want the people to tell you the truth, then officials have to be brave enough to hear the truth, and they must create the right conditions for it."
Yet he has taken a hardline approach to tackling a surge of self-immolations and protests in restive ethnic Tibetan parts of the province, and has locked up some dissidents.
He has also come down hard on Sichuan-based dissidents, including Tan Zuoren (譚作人), serving five years for subversion after documenting shoddy construction that contributed to deaths in the 2008 quake.

The Tar Heels have been one of the nation's perennial powers for years, but somehow they've flown a little under the radar this spring. This is a very balanced club despite some offensive numbers that won't impress observers too much. UNC is hitting .279 as a team with third baseman Colin Moran, who's finally back from injury, leading the way with a .362 average, three homers and 34 RBIs. Meanwhile, Chaz Frank is hitting .303 with 37 RBIs. Also keep an eye on veteran catcher Jacob Stallings, who's hitting .299 with four homers and 38 RBIs, while Tommy Coyle has potential despite hitting .246 with four homers and 28 RBIs ... Pitching-wise, this Tar Heels staff has been fantastic all-spring long. Sophomore left-handed pitcher Kent Emanuel has continued where he left off as a freshman last season, sitting 8-4 with a 2.03 ERA in 102 innings. Meanwhile, Benton Moss has a 1.97 ERA in 73 innings and Hobbs Johnson has a 1.37 ERA in 52 2/3 innings of work. Bullpen-wise, the Tar Heels have one of the best in the business in right-hander Michael Morin, who has a 0.83 ERA with 17 saves in 54 1/3 innings of work. Meanwhile, R.C. Orlan, Chris McCue, Shane Taylor and Tate Parrish have been terrific.
East Carolina's inclusion to the NCAA postseason field was certainly up for debate, but it's now official and it's time to see what the Pirates have in their tank this weekend. ECU enters the weekend with a .293 batting average, as John Wooten leads the way, hitting .341 with eight homers and 38 RBIs. Meanwhile, Drew Reynolds is hitting .328 with two homers and 22 RBIs and third baseman Corey Thompson is hitting .319 with four homers and 38 RBIs. Also keep an eye on Zach Wright, who has smacked five homers and knocked in 38 runs ... Pitching-wise, the Pirates have some solid arms to keep an eye on. For instance, veteran starting pitcher Kevin Brandt is having a terrific year and has a 1.85 ERA in 102 innings of work. Meanwhile, Jeff Hoffman has a 3.37 ERA in 69 1/3 innings. It's important to keep close tabs on relievers such as Andy Smithmyer (1.54), Tanner Merritt (2.91) and Drew Reynolds (3.33). ECU has underachieved for much of the season. Could it have a huge weekend in store?
The Johnnies could be a very dangerous team to watch this season. They entered the season with high hopes, but really didn't play a consistent brand of baseball until down the stretch. Now they hope to make a big-time statement this weekend in North Carolina. St. John's has the tools to get the job done, hitting .284 entering the weekend with shortstop Matt Wessinger leading the way, hitting .348 with six homers and 45 RBIs. Also keep an eye on outfielder Jeremy Baltz, who's hitting .342 with seven homers and 49 RBIs. Additionally, third baseman Sean O'Hare is one to watch, hitting .333 with three homers and 40 RBIs ... Pitching-wise, a big change for the Johnnies down the stretch has been more consistently good starts from hard-throwing right-handed pitchers Kyle Hansen and Matt Carasiti. Hansen has a 3.44 ERA in 86 1/3 innings of work, while Carasiti has a 3.79 ERA in 78 1/3 innings. Also keep an eye on the Johnnies' most consistent starting pitcher, Sean Hagan, who has a 2.58 ERA in 94 1/3 innings. Bullpen-wise, Stephen Rivera (1.84) is having a terrific year.
The Big Red hopes to make a big splash this weekend, but they'll need a few things to go their way to make a statement. The Big Red enters the weekend hitting .283 with Brian Billigen leading the way, hitting an impressive .362 with five homers and 38 RBIs. He also has a very solid .446 on-base percentage. Also keep an eye on Frank Hanger, who's hitting .305 with three homers and 20 RBIs. Otherwise, the Big Red will need several hitters to rise to the occasion ... Pitching-wise, the Big Red has three solid starters in Brian McAfee, Connor Kaufmann and Rick Marks. McAfee has a 3.19 ERA in 62 innings, Marks has a 3.09 ERA in 58 1/3 innings and Kaufmann has a 4.00 ERA in 54 innings of work. Also keep an eye on relievers Kellen Urbon and Houston Hawley, who have ERAs of 0.51 and 1.99, respectively.
The Wildcats have been playing a solid brand of baseball the past few weeks and enter the weekend in very good shape with an offense that's hitting at an impressive .325 clip. Arizona has one of the nation's elite hitters in outfielder Robert Refsnyder, who's hitting .359 with six homers and 57 RBIs. Meanwhile, outfielder Johnny Field is hitting at a high level, batting .379 with two homers and 31 RBIs. Also keep an eye on shortstop Alex Mejia, third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean and Bobby Brown. Mejia is hitting .357 with three homers and 46 RBIs, Mejias-Brean is hitting .351 with a home run and 52 RBIs and Bobby Brown is hitting .343 with four homers and 47 RBIs ... Pitching-wise, the Wildcats are vulnerable at times, but fantastic when right-handed pitcher Kurt Heyer is on the mound. Heyer is 11-2 with a 2.03 ERA in 119 2/3 innings. He is limiting teams to a .250 average. Meanwhile, Konner Wade has a 4.88 ERA in 101 1/3 innings and James Farris has a 4.40 ERA in 90 innings. The Wildcats have had a shaky bullpen at times, though youngster Mathew Troupe has a 3.98 ERA in 31 2/3 innings.
When the Aggies finished the regular season on such a high note and didn't exactly impress in the WAC tournament, it was thought they might miss out on the postseason all together. Well, now only is NMSU in the postseason, it also is a No. 2 seed. The Aggies have a productive offense, entering the weekend with a .308 batting average. Stud catcher Zac Fisher leads the way, hitting .363 with six homers and 58 RBIs. Meanwhile, Parker Hipp is hitting .350 with a home run and 49 RBIs. Also keep an eye on shortstop Zach Voight, who should return full-time from an injury. Voight is hitting .301 with eight homers and 54 RBIs ... Pitching-wise, the Aggies don't possess a lot of high level arms. However, they've got a good one in veteran left-handed hurler Ryan Beck, who has a 4.22 ERA in 91 2/3 innings. Meanwhile, reliever Scott Coffman is a good one with a 3.79 ERA and eight saves in 40 1/3 innings. The Aggies must pitch better to win this series.
The Cardinals put together a solid regular season campaign, but somehow was a No. 3 seed in this NCAA Regional behind New Mexico State. The Cards have a chip on their shoulder and likely will play like a team on a mission this weekend. The Cards enter the weekend hitting .292 with Nick Ratajczak leading the charge, hitting .349 with six homers and 38 RBIs. Also keep an eye on Cole Sturgeon, Adam Engel and Stewart Ijames. Sturgeon is hitting .319 with a home run and 40 RBIs, Engel is very athletic and hitting .317 with a home run and 17 RBIs and Ijames has blasted 12 homers and knocked in 60 runs ... Pitching-wise, the Cards have some big-time arms to watch this weekend. Talented right-handed pitcher Justin Amlung has a 2.36 ERA in 103 innings of work, while Jeff Thompson has a 3.91 ERA in 73 2/3 innings. Jared Ruxer is another quality arm to watch, sitting with a 2.88 ERA in 75 innings. Bullpen-wise, the Cards have some big-time arms, including Derek Self and Matt Koch. Self has appeared in 25 games and has a 3.64 ERA in 29 2/3 innings, while Koch has a fastball that touches the mid 90s and has a 3.90 ERA in 27 2/3 innings.
Even with an RPI in the 80s entering the NCAA postseason, the Tigers definitely are an interesting team to watch this weekend. With their season on the line in Oklahoma City last week, the Tigers played an outstanding brand of baseball. Missouri enters the weekend hitting .274 with some solid hitters to watch, such as Scott Sommerfield, Blake Brown and Ben Turner. Sommerfield is hitting a team-best .302 with two homers and 25 RBIs, while Brown is a big-time power producer, hitting .299 with 10 homers and 39 RBIs. Turner is hitting .293 with a home run and 27 RBIs ... Pitching-wise, the Tigers have a couple of very solid starting pitchers to watch in Rob Zastryzny and Blake Holovach. Both pitched very well last week. Zastryzny has a 3.84 ERA in 103 innings while Holovach has a 4.60 ERA in 76 1/3 innings. Bullpen-wise, the Tigers have some quality arms to watch, such as Dusty Ross and Jeff Emens. Ross has appeared in 30 games and has a 2.38 ERA in 45 1/3 innings, while Emens has appeared in 30 games and has a 2.58 ERA in 80 1/3 innings.

|Paul Giving 'Tea Party Response' to Obama
|Chris Good
|Feb 8, 2013, 4:14 PM
Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images
President Obama will once again face two rebuttals, after his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., will deliver the "tea party response" to Obama from the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Tuesday night. Following in the footsteps of Rep. Michele Bachmann (2011) and Herman Cain (2012), who delivered the last two alternative State-of-the-Union responses, Paul's speech will be staged by the national tea-party election group Tea Party Express, the same group that sponsored the 2011 and 2012 rebuttals.
Sen. Marco Rubio will deliver the official Republican Party response.
"We are excited to have Senator Paul deliver the 3rd Tea Party State of the Union response next week. Americans are fed up with Washington politics that fail to address America's fiscal woes," Tea Party Express chair Amy Kremer said in a prepared announcement sent to reporters. "We are happy to see that the Republicans have selected Tea Party conservative Senator Marco Rubio to deliver their response. Both Senator Rubio and Senator Paul will articulate pro-growth messages that will resonate with the American people."
Paul's office confirmed he will deliver the speech. Logistics are still being worked out, according to a spokeswoman, but the speech will not overlap with Rubio's.
Both Paul and Rubio have been mentioned as possible Republican candidates for president in 2016.

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/spo...-1226548413616AUSTRALIAN NBA star Andrew Bogut is confident he will overcome a serious ankle injury to play for the Golden State Warriors again this season.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob and the team's coach Mark Jackson have refused to put a timeline on Bogut's return to the court, raising the prospect Bogut's season could be over.
However, the 28-year-old former No.1 draft pick was clear about his prospects despite missing the past 28 games.
"I'll definitely play this season," Bogut said on Saturday.
"I think I'll be ready to play this season. It's just a matter of when."
Bogut was the Warriors' star recruit when traded from the Milwaukee Bucks last March, but after undergoing microfracture surgery on the ankle and missing the Australian squad's London Olympic campaign, he rushed himself back to play in the first four games of the season.
The centre admits the ankle was not ready to support his 213cm, 120kg frame.
"I definitely don't think I'll miss the whole season," Bogut, dressed in a black suit, said outside the Warriors' locker room in the bowels of Los Angeles' Staples Center before the team played the LA Clippers on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).
"If I do I'll be pretty distraught about it."
This week he began travelling with the team after spending the last month-and-a-half at home in the San Francisco Bay area rehabbing his ankle.
Bogut's absence has not doomed the Warriors' season, with the team enjoying a 22-10 season so far. They sit in fourth place in the NBA's Western Conference.
With the Warriors set for a playoff run, Bogut is keen to shed the suit and put on a singlet.
"You bet," he said.
Interesting wording, eh?

Wiz & Bandai (both are Japanese companies) together invented the Tamagotchi. Then they sent the circuit diagram and blueprints to a contracted factory in China to be manufactured. This is fairly standard business practice. It's much cheaper to have goods manufactured in China, than in USA or Japan. Many companies do it this way. For example, when you buy an Apple (USA company) iPod, somewhere on the package it says designed in USA, made in China.
Posted 05 September 2011 - 02:17 PM ( #4 )
So like others have said, they are produced in China for distribution, the person who invented Tamagotchi was a woman in Japan named Aki Maita. There is an article here: http://www.mimitchi.com/html/aki.htm It was really interesting that she came up with the idea and put the research into making it happen.
Posted 24 December 2011 - 12:06 PM ( #5 )
It is true.Thats why the high-quality tama gotchis are in Japan.

Using Version Control is strongly recommended for all non-trivial projects. For projects with multiple developers, Version Control is almost always a necessity. The advantages of Version Control are compelling:
- it allows groups of people to work simultaneously on a project with minimal friction.
- it allows time travel, in the sense of letting you create a snapshot of the code as it appeared at some specific time in the past.
- it lets you create parallel universes, by letting you define branches for your project. The most common case of this is having a bug-fix branch along side a main trunk.
- it acts as the definitive version of the source.
- it allows for automated daily backups.
There are many Version Control systems available. Presented below are reminders for typical use for two such tools, CVS (Concurrent Version System) and Subversion.
More complete information is available from:
- Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion by Mike Mason
- Pragmatic Version Control Using CVS by Thomas and Hunt
Getting Started With Subversion
- download
- edit the file named %APPDATA%\Subversion\config (no file extension) You will likely want to edit global-ignores, editor-cmd, and set enable-auto-props=yes. There are also settings for pointing to your diff tool.
- consider defining an environment variable SVNROOT to point to your subversion repository
Common Commandssvn checkout %SVNROOT%/blah/trunk
Checks out the trunk of a project named blah.
svn commit -m "Some message" blah.txt
Commits a change made to a file in the current directory.
svn help <command>
Get help on a command.
svn status -uv
Shows status. Recursive by default. Talks to server for any updates that you haven't seen yet.
svn log -v
View change sets.
Occasional Commandssvnadmin create C:\my-repos
Create a local repository.
svn import -m "Importing" . %SVNROOT%/blah/trunk
Import project named blah into a repository. Imports the local directory and all of its subdirectories.
svn info
Shows high level information; shows which branch you are on.
svn ls %SVNROOT%
Lists the projects in the repository. Allows you to navigate the repository's tree structure, by the usual drill-down. '-R' is recursive, and shows each file, not just directories.
Branchingsvn mkdir -m "Making first release branch" %SVNROOT%/blah/branch
Create a directory for the blah project to hold all future branches.
svn copy -m "Making Release branch" %SVNROOT%/blah/trunk %SVNROOT%/blah/branch/RB-1.0
Create release branch 1.0. Looks like a directory copy operation.
svn co %SVNROOT%/blah/branch/RB-1.0 blah1.0
Check out release branch 1.0 to directory named blah1.0. The working directory is usually beside blah, which contains the main trunk of development.
svn merge -r11:12 %SVNROOT%/blah/branch/RB-1.0
Merging a fix on a release branch into the trunk. Picks up edits between revision 11 and revision 12. Needs a commit afterwards.
CVS Terminology
- repository - where CVS stores the source code for projects.
- CVSROOT - an environment variable which points to the repository.
- workspace or working directory - where the developer does their work. A private copy of the code, on the developer's host.
- checkout - the initial fetch of a project's source tree from the repository.
- update - a re-fetch of a file or set of files after the initial checkout.
- commit - after verifying edits are correct, the developer will use a commit to post their edits from their workspace back to the repository.
- revision - version of a file, denoted by a string of numbers, as in 1.2 (on the trunk) or 184.108.40.206 (on a branch).
- trunk or mainline - the main branch of development. Releases are often branched off the trunk.
- dead files - files that are removed from the project aren't really removed. Instead, they are moved into the 'dead' state.
- regular tag - label for a particular set of revisions in the project. Allows you to define specific snapshots of the project, which can be used later to recreate that snapshot. Tags always start with a letter, so you can always distinguish them from revisions (which are numeric, as in 1.2 or 18.104.22.168).
- branch tag - label for a project branch. Always starts with a letter. Branches allow parallel development.
- HEAD - a reserved tag name, refers to the most recent revision in the repository.
- BASE - a reserved tag name, refers to the revision checked out into the workspace. If a developer has modified a file, then the BASE is no longer the same as the workspace copy.
- sticky - many CVS commands are sticky. This means that the command is implicitly applied using the most recent tag that was specified (either regular tag or branch tag). Thus, you can specify a tag once, and then subsequent commands will assume that tag also applies as the default. The idea is to let you work without repeatedly specifying the tag over and over again.
CVS Edit Codes
- ? - an item in the local workspace has not yet been added to the repository
- U - updated (either changed or added new)
- P - updated via a 'patch' (more or less the same as U)
- M - item in the local workspace has been modified after retrieval from the repository
- C - conflicting edits found between two revisions. Such conflicts need manual intervention, since they cannot be automatically merged together.
- A - added to CVS, but not yet committed.
- R - removed from CVS, but not yet committed.
Getting Started With CVS
- to use CVS from the command line, add CVS to your PATH environment variable.
- by default, most commands apply recursively to all subdirectories.
- CVS usually outputs dates and times using Universal Time, but you can often alter the output time zone, using the '-z' option.
- CVS lets you define a simple local repository on your host's file system (see below). When getting started with CVS, it's highly recommended that you create such a 'sandbox' repository, as a safe place to experiment with CVS.
cvs --help-commands
Lists all CVS commands.
cvs -H update
Displays help for the update command.
cvs -d C:\sandbox init
Creates a local 'sandbox' repository, on the local file system. Such a sandbox is very helpful for experimenting with CVS. This is a nice feature, since you don't have to set up a server in order to create the repository. For more formal development, however, your 'real' source code will be stored in a server on another host, not on the local file system.
tmp>set CVSROOT=C:\sandbox
tmp>cvs import -m "Play around with CVS" myproject myproject initial
Create a new project named 'myproject', built from the current contents of your tmp directory (and subdirectories), and place the new project into your sandbox repository.
work>cvs -d C:\sandbox checkout myproject
Retrieves from the sandbox repository a copy of all files in myproject, and places them into work/myproject. Retrieves the latest version of each file (the HEAD).
Common Commandscvs status Blah.java
Lists general information about the file, whether it has been edited, it's revision, and what branch it's on.
cvs status -q Blah.java
More concise status listing.
cvs -q update -P -d
Updates your workspace with the latest repository files. Performs a merge. Most merges will succeed, but some will fail, and will result in a conflict. Conflicts must be handled manually.
This is a 'sticky' operation (see above). If your workspace is on the trunk, then you are updated with new trunk files. If your workspace is on a branch, then you are updated with files from that branch.
cvs -nq update -P -d
Compares your workspace with the repository without actually doing the update. Does not write to your workspace. The '-n' option means "don't really do this, just show me the current differences between my workspace and the HEAD of the repository."
cvs -q update -P -d -A
Updates your workspace, and ensures you're updated with the trunk, not a branch.
cvs -q udpate -P -d -r REL_1_0
Updates your workspace with a specific release branch.
cvs commit -m "Some appropriate description"
Commits all edits to all files in and under the current directory.
cvs history -c -u myuserid -D yesterday -z AST
Displays what a specific user id committed yesterday, and displays the result in a specific time zone (AST) instead of Universal Time.
Occasional Commandswork>cvs checkout myproject
Fetches an entire project from the repository, and places it in the local directory named work/myproject.
cvs add Blah.java
cvs commit -m "My new file." Blah.java
Adds a new file to the repository. Note that you need to commit the file before the addition is complete.
cvs add -kb jstl.jar
cvs commit -m "Required library." jstl.jar
Adds a new binary file to the repository. Again, you need to commit the file before the addition is complete.
work>del Blah.java
work>cvs remove Blah.java
work>cvs commit "No longer needed." Blah.java
Deletes a file. This has 3 steps.
cvs history -c -D "2010/01/01" -z AST Blah.java
Displays a history of commits on a given file, after a given date, with date-time output in a specific time zone (AST).
cvs log -d today Blah.java
Shows messages for all commits done today for a given file.
cvs -q log -wmyuserid -d"2010/04/13 13:00:00" -S
Shows messages for all commits done by a certain user, after a given date-time
cvs log -rREL_1_0 -wmyuserid Blah.java
Shows the commit messages for a given user id, performed on a specific branch.
work>rename SolarSys.java SolarSystem.java
work>cvs remove SolarSys.java
work>cvs add SolarSystem.java
work>cvs commit -m "Better name." SolarSystem.java
Renames a file. This has 4 steps.
cvs rtag -b RB_1_0 myproject
Creates a release branch named 'RB_1_0' for a project named 'myproject'. This command is applied to the repository, not to the workspace. A release branch can be created before the release, if desired. Then, each release candidate is built using the head of the release branch. When the release is final, then you apply a regular tag to the release branch, to mark the exact point of release.
cvs tag REL_1_0
Tags the repository files in your BASE -- the unmodified revisions checked out to your local workspace.
cvs diff --side-by-side Blah.java
Shows the differences between your workspace and the BASE.
CVS Quirks
- after you have initially checked out a project to a given local workspace, CVS will remember both the location of the repository, and your login credentials (as long as you don't log out). Thus, there's no need to repeatedly state the location of the repository when issuing CVS commands.
- if you try to commit a file which actually has no differences with the repository file, CVS will not create a new revision.
Merging From Branch To TrunkThere are two ways to merge from a branch into the trunk.
cvs -q update -j 188.8.131.52 -j 220.127.116.11 Blah.java
This is usually the preferred method. Note the presence of 2 '-j' options. This means that only the edits that took the file from 22.214.171.124 to 220.127.116.11 are to be merged into the trunk. This is very helpful, because it can avoid the repetition of possible conflicts that may have already occurred during previous merges.
cvs -q update -j 22.214.171.124 Blah.java
This is usually not the preferred style (see above). This merge has a single '-j' option. The implementation of this merge will need to go back to the common ancestor of the trunk and the branch. The problem with this style is how conflicts are treated. If such a merge has a conflict, it can certainly be resolved, just like any other conflict. However, the conflict will resurface again later should you need to perform another merge between the branch and the trunk.
Separate Workspaces For Each BranchAlthough there are many variations, it's typical to be working on 2 code streams (sometimes more) :
- the trunk : main development for the next release
- a branch : bug fixes for the most recent release, already in production
When working on more than a single branch, it's helpful to be able to switch rapidly between them. It's certainly possible to use a single local workspace to do so, using a 'cvs update' command which specifies the appropriate branch.
However, many find it simpler and more convenient to just use a separate workspace for each branch.
Since the update command is "sticky", and remembers the branch from which a workspace originally came from, there's usually no asymmetry between working on the branch and working on the trunk.

I have a dremel arriving tomorrow, planning on destructing my case once I get a new motherboard (don't ever buy a gigabyte board, voltage issues). I will likely get one in 2-4 weeks. I have to get windows as well as have been waiting for the MSI Lightning 7970 for a bit now.
So, I will throw up some pics of my case, and go through the process of modifying it, but I wanted to ask before I do anything if anyone has any advice that would help me out. Never used a dremel or anything, so this is all new to me. Thanks, keep an eye out for updates!
Here is before:
Up next I have to figure out what kind of paint and repaint the door, work on modding out the CPU retention bracket area, and then work on some sort of revision for the top of the case to get rid of the 200 mm dust hole. Any ideas?

system reboots you!
The only time I used system restore is when I couldn't reboot with new installed components or service packs so maybe MS decided that if you rebooted successfully, then you do not need the restore data anymore, hehe...
System restore has always been awful. It doesn't play well with anti-virus, it's slow, it's always been buggy. Worst part is I've only had it work to fix a problem for me ONCE in the couple of years I bothered with it. These days if I want to save the state of a computer that is working well I simply image the disk. More expensive and potentially time consuming but a hell of a lot more reliable.
Oh and don't image it with Windows 7 Microsoft tools. I had an issue with Vista's system restore tool once that had me scrambling for a copy of Virtual PC to read the images. (Vista system restore would just wipe the existing partitions then fail with an error before restoring a thing).
What parent says. I've tried system restore most often on machines that were infected. System restore points always seem to be infected - it's like an infection automatically makes Windows discard old restore points, and create new infected restore points. The best strategy is to back up the system after a fresh install, and every time something major or something important is installed. Of course, the VERY best strategy is an enterprise solution, where the system is backed up regularly - like each Frid
Yes. if a system is important to you, then backup with a bare-metal restore is the only way to be sure.
Any professional who tells different is directly responsible for loss of data.
> Yes. if a system is important to you,
I try not to keep anything important on windows boxes or laptops so I never have to bother to back them up. So far, the only thing I found out the hard way I had to backup is my configuration file for game controls that the Logitech Profiler uses. It took me quite a while to reconfigure my games when Windows failed.
In some way, I could pretend that I do not have to trust Windows for the integrity of my data. I use shares on my file server to save things and reposito
The fact is, advanced tools are just that, advanced. Windows comes with bare metal tools, and the ability to properly configure a daily, weekly, etc, backup on external disk. And there are more advanced features for the adventurous. I guarantee you I won't lose data if my Windows box dies. I have daily backups, a RAID10 internal with a hot spare, blah blah blah. But I'm not a typical user.
And neither are you. We both know how to use our OS to protect our data, even if it involved what appears to be wizardry to the average user. I really wish backup were easier. Windows 7 actually informs the user regularly that they don't have a backup, and will continue to warn them if a backup ever fails. That's great progress, but it's maybe not yet good enough. Let me know when a popular Linux distro supports bare metal backup and a snapshotting filesystem with the ability to "go back in time" to a good state, I look forward to that day. Until then, you have your wizardry, I have my slightly-less-magical-looking GUI that manages most of it for me built in. *shrugs*
IMO, I'd like to get to the point where OSes, Windows, Mac, Linux, really, seriously warn the user the moment their data isn't safe. It's one thing for Windows 7 to pop up a notification balloon, or for OS X to complain that Time Machine isn't set up, but I feel like there should be more than that. And on Linux, I don't think there's anything comparable at the moment.
I'm not sure even tools like Acronis are really safe since they run under, and are subject to restrictions imposed by Windows. For example using Easeus Partition Manager to clone the boot partition of your main drive to another clean drive will not produce a bootable disk, even if you copy the hidden boot partition (whose raison d'etre M$ claims is bitlocker). I don't believe anything that runs under Windows will make a perfect duplicate of your boot disk-- if you want to have a spare drive in your desk
I don't believe anything that runs under Windows will make a perfect duplicate of your boot disk-- if you want to have a spare drive in your desk that can be swapped in for your failed C:\ drive without a hiccup,
Nope, Acronis (and I assume others as well--I specify Acronis because it was mentioned, and I use it) disk images can be used to do a bare-metal restore in the event of software or disk failure. You'd need either (a) previously-created rescue media, or (b) another machine with Acronis and (i) a spare SATA/IDE port or (ii) a USB disk enclosure. Works like a charm. In fact, IIRC, the replacement disk doesn't even need to be of the same size, except under certain circumstances.
The irony is that Acronis boot media is Linux-based.
I've used Ghost and Clonezilla to make replacement bootable hard drives just fine. I can't imagine Acronis really fails in this regard, or it wouldn't be taken seriously.
Note: Most Live Linux and Unix discs will not complete booting from a SATA optical drive-- not sure why. You must use PATA
Depends on the distro and your hardware. For example, Gentoo's minimal CD won't boot on my desktop (or wouldn't as of a few months ago), because it is missing drivers for my motherboard; Ubuntu's LiveCD works fine. (I only have SATA drives.)
I can heartily recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.
I just checked and I have 9 restore points going back two weeks. I would have restarted several times in that period. The summary makes it sound as if this is a bug that affects all users. I don't think that is the case.
This is an extraordinarily bad bug, which I suspect most Windows 7 users won't realise is affecting them until it's too late.
Yeah or maybe it's not affecting most Windows 7 users.

It's kdawson. You can't expect fact-checking.
I kind of think this guy takes a bit of undeserved heat sometimes, but the 'story' here is a link to a forum thread with fewer than 10 posts (at the time of this reply). That doesn't seem front page worthy, well, anywhere.
Posted by kdawson
'nuff said.
Agreed, I've restarted over a dozen times due to me mucking around and changing stuff via the registry. I've got 9 restore points going back to the 5th of april.
I have 14 restore points dating back to 3/29/2010 which is about when I installed Windows 7 on this machine.
A quick Bing search brought me to another thread where the guy's problem turned out to be a disk defrag utility that was deleting restore points on reboot. He disabled the utility, and the restores stopped disappearing.
For what it's worth, does a forum post from January with a total of five people reporting a problem really deserve to be on Slashdot? Oh wait, it's anti-MS. Nevermind.
It can be a perfectly legitimate bug that just requires stars to be aligned in certain way etc - it's not like Windows source code is fully verified for correctness.
It's probably not really newsworthy if it only affects so few people, though. At best, if this gets verified as a genuine bug, you'll see it fixed on some Patch Tuesday next month, and that's it.
Does anyone actually know someone whose problem was fixed by System Restore? I sure don't...
I know of problems caused by trying to use it, does that count?
So a few people have a problem with windows? It's not even widespread!
This wouldn't have made it to slashdot if it weren't for the oh-so-common hatred for windows around these lands.
Given the recent similar issue with supposedly buggy Windows updates, I say this is an undetected root kit cleaning up after itself.
... it has weird quirky bugs. I have this desktop refresh problem on my new office machine with 64-bit Windows 7 HP. Hopefully, SP1 fixes these things!
Oops, I forgot to post the URL to the refresh problem: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/09fd46ff-65f1-4fa7-ae2d-9f3b2644fad6/ [microsoft.com]
The main purpose of "System Restore" in Windows is to recover from an installation of a badly written and malfunctioning driver, when said malfunction hampers normal OS functionality, or even prevents the system from booting altogether.
The reason why you don't have that problem in Linux is because, most likely, the only third-party driver you use there - if any - is the graphics one.
So the chances of running into a badly broken one are lower (though not non-existing; e.g. the recent kernel update has messed
Yesterday I needed to boot into windows (the D&DI Character Generator doesn't work in wine, as far as I can tell), and I was greeted after boot with a lovely screen telling me that the system was broken and in need of repair. So my two options were restore from backup or repair. I had no backup, so I went to repair, and under "select drive," there was no system install. Windows had apparently uninstalled itself.
I'm still trying to sort out what happened.

Mom Confessions
Featured Posts
CM Friends,
I am writing you this post, sad and depressed on Mother's Day, 2013, because I am so mad at myself. So mad at my actions. And so mad at this horrible website, Ashley Madison.
I have been faithfully married to a wonderful, kind, caring, attractive man for over 10 years (omg, this is hard to write...I am starting to cry)...a beautiful man, a man who gave his family everything he had...who worked day in and day out to provide for us. A man who loved us for just being us...
However, 3 weeks ago, my husband went onto my laptop when I was in the shower and discovered my Ashley Madison account. In all the time I have known him, my husband has never been violent, but I can honestly say on that day I saw another side to him. He kicked open the bathroom door and ripped down half the shower curtain while I was still in there. He kept on screaming. I couldn't even understand him but I immediately knew what it was about. My heart dropped to my stomach and my knees got weak. Next thing I know, he grabbed my arm and pulled me to the bedroom and showed me the computer. All I could say to him was that I was sorry, so very sorry. He calmed down a little bit, and asked me to tell him exactly what happened. I broke down and told him everything. I told him that I had discovered Ashley Madison about 6 months ago. I told him that I had communicated with some men over that time but that they meant nothing to me. He asked me if I had sex with any of them. I admitted that I had sex with 2 of the men. I thought he was going to hit me, but instead he just dropped to his knees and began crying. In 15 years, I have never seen him cry. Even when his best friend died. He was (is) the strongest person I had ever known. But in this moment, my selfish actions had reduced him to nothing. I tried to console him, but it was no use. He barged out of the house and I did not hear from him for 2 days.
It has been 3 weeks and Mike, my husband still won't even speak to me. I thought he might call me to wish me Happy Mom's Day, but nothing so far (3:30 pm EST). He owns his own business so he has been staying at the office, sleeping on his couch. At this moment, I have no clue what is going to happen with us, with our family. I am so scared that he is going to leave me. I am so scared that I am going to lose everything. I never thought our kids might grow up in a two family household, but I am starting to think that might become a reality. The last 3 weeks have been the worst kind of nightmare.
I am writing this post to warn you about this website and other sites like it. I never even thought about having an affair until I heard some friends talk about Ashley Madison. It piqued my curiosity and I went on there just to check it out. It was just SO EASY and straightforward and one thing led to another. Within a few days, I had men messaging me, vying for my attention. It was just so..FUN! At first, I limited my contact to messaging only, but as things progressed, men would ask to see me. In hindsight, I was being immature, but in the moment it was so very exciting and provocative, I gave into temptation.
I know for a fact that there are other women on CM who are currently on Ashley Madison as well. I am going Anon on this, but some of you have messaged me privately to discuss AM when I brought it up on other threads. I used to be one of those people who said "what he doesn't know, won't hurt him", but honestly, I as very very wrong. The fleeting sex is not worth even the POSSIBILITY of your husband finding out. I thought I was covering my tracks well, but everyone makes mistakes when they are leading a double life. Now, I have destroyed the one person that I love the most in this world. It was SO NOT WORTH IT.
Leaving on a positive note. I am hoping my husband will take me back. He loves his family so much. I think he will do the right thing and give me another chance. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making it up to him.
Ask me any questions, and I will answer them truthfully.
Everyone, please, I AM NOT BLAMING AM. I know my actions caused this mess. What I am saying is: I know that I am not the ONLY ONE ON CM that has an AM account. To the moms that have private messaged me asking about AM, I am writing this post to warn you!!! It may seem fun and exciting at first, but it puts you directly in th crosshairs of temptation. Just stay away from sites like these!!
I updated the title of the post to reflect more the meaning of my post. It was right for others to denounce me by saying that I was blaming a website, although that was not my intention. Again, my message is for others who are on sites like this to stay away. Things can get out of hand quickly in fantasy land.
To everyone that took the time to read my post and reply, I say "thank you". I read every last comment on this thread and I took to heart every negative remark as well as every word of hope. I am very happy to say that at 7:01 pm EST, my husband sent me a text message saying "Happy Mother's Day". I replied back to him saying that I missed him and to please come home. To which he replied "No, Thank You". But at least I know he was thinking of me and at this point, I will take what I can get, Take care everyone.

I got nothing...
but contempt....

So you are blaming a website for your actions. Way to not take responsibly for your actions.

Submission + - Scientists Create Mice That Can't Feel Cold (singularityhub.com)
kkleiner writes: "Scientists created a group of mice that were incapable of feeling cold by killing off the neurons in the body whose specific job it is to transmit cold sensation from the skin to the brain. Rather than an attempt to create an X-men-like mutation, the study sheds light on how the nervous system transmits sensory information from the body to the brain and may help to develop more sophisticated pain medicines. The study was published in the February 13 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience — led by David McKemy, associate professor of neurobiology at the University of Southern California Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences."

Richard Ludemann
|Head Coach
|third Year
In just two short seasons, Richard "Doc" Ludemann has engineered a remarkable turnaround, turning the Sacred Heart women's swimming team into a perennial Northeast Conference contender. Last season was a historic year for SHU swimming. Under the direction of Ludemann, the Pioneers set 22 school records and for the first time ever, qualified swimmers for the ECAC Championships. The Pioneers fourth place finish at the Northeast Conference was the best in school history. Ludemann has over 30 years of experience in coaching aquatic sports. He began his career in 1975 as the assistant coach of the Wilton YMCA swimming team, the Wilton Wahoos. After a four year stint in Wilton, Ludemann moved out west to become the assistant swimming coach at UCLA. In spending four years as a coach for the Bruins, he coached a team that was an NCAA Runner-up and 7 swimmers who were part of the 1980 United States Olympic swimming team. In 1981, Ludemann returned to Connecticut and became an assistant coach for the Yale Univeristy men's and women's swimming teams. In that role he was the chief advisor to the Bulldogs group of sprinters and medley swimmers. After three seasons at Yale, Ludemann moved on to the high school ranks as the head swimming coach at Stamford High School. Beginning in 1987 Ludemann took over as the head coach at the New Cannan Aquatic Club. In his nine years, he coached eight men's state champion teams and four women's teams who were state runner-ups. In addition to his swimming experience, Ludemann has been involved with the sports of water polo for the last 20 years. From 1988-92 he was the conditioning coach for the Canadian Water Polo squad. He then served as the training and condition coach for the United States water polo team from 1992-96.
