I grabbed the latest kernel pkg. didn't do lilo -v
and now it doesn't boot at all! [stop at the beggining of ..........]
well shouldnt at least boot the last one? [or automatically do lilo -v]
plz help me now
boot the arch cd.
mount your installation
run lilo -C with the mounted lilo.conf
Boot CD then follow on screen instructions.......
Mr Green
did that already.
lilo -c path/to/mounted/lilo.conf
but it doesn't work [it gives me some errors regarding the /dev/discs or sth] I don't remember exactly
oh too bad
why that PKGBUILD didn't do lilo -v [or at least make sure that the USER will have no doubts about it]
oh boy..
at least plz plz to the pkg-guy add an ECHO "DO A LILO -v if you have LILO" at the end of PKGBUILD
gonna try working on my problem with arch cd
having a lilo run in pkgbuild would do nothing. having an echo line has been mentione before. but everyone who uses lilo *should* know to run lilo after installing a kernel. (since again there is no way to make a package smart enough to run lilo for you)
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
well hell I of course know about lilo -v
but what the heck was it on me and I didn't do it [just for testing] I never imagined that the OLD kernel would be broken too!?
anyways an ECHO just for people who might forgotten it or didn't know about it is VERY IMPORTANT.
I had this idea: "when you do 'lilo' you update the MBR" if you don't do it then you still have the old MBR. where exactly am I wrong? {just being very curious}
I had this idea: "when you do 'lilo' you update the MBR" if you don't do it then you still have the old MBR. where exactly am I wrong? {just being very curious}
sure you still have the old mbr and it may even point to the right image in /boot but once it gets there and does its thing it fails because the new kernel image is there. this one of the more annoying things about lilo (but i still use it atm too for my crux install)
oh and i agree that there should be a .install file to echo the warning but no one has bothered to make this feature request through the bug tracker yet.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
I can NOT make it WORK!!!
a) eventhough rescue cd has 2.6.3 doesn't have ntfs/vfat as fs for mount<!!> [as if I can save my linux box only via linux and not WINDOWS]
b) I have again some problems I cannot via setup install a new lilo cause it says [as it used too in the past, cannot chroot to /mnt/etc/lilo.conf and it cannot write there, the lilo.conf in the configure menu is EMPTY] I have the old one [the working one] but I can copy it there.
c) whenever I try (with or without chroot) lilo -C /path/toWORKING/lilo.conf
it refuses me saying that /proc/filesystems don't match or sth like and {maybe} doesn't like the fact that /dev/hda or /dev/discs/disc0/disc is WHOLE NTFS <?> {part1 is FOR SURE}
HOW CAN I GET THIS LILO -C path/to/lilo.conf WORK??
i did mount -t reiserfs /dev/discs/disc1/part8 /tmp [part8 has my root arch]
and then tried everything with /tmp/etc/lilo.conf
but couldn't make it
btw if I didn't have SlackWare 9.1 I would still fight to MOUNT VFAT and/or NTFS from the Rescue Arch CD. now I HOPE SOME DEV SEE THIS MORE CLEARLY [ntfs vfat SHOULD BE THERE!!!] or else it's not a rescue
anyways, give your best shot helping me out plZZzzzzzzzzzzz
damn that lilo -v [damn me playing with it]
PLZ PLZ PLZ ADD THE ECHO as a WARNGING!!: DO LILO -v
1) Stick the rescue cd in.
2) At the isolinux prompt type arch root=/dev/discs/path/to/your/root/partition. For example, my root partition is /dev/discs/disc1/part1 so I would type: arch root=/dev/discs/disc1/part1 . I'm pretty sure that it will work with devfs naming schemes, if not it would be this: arch root=/dev/hda1
3) Type: lilo -v
4) Reboot the machine
If you want the message in the kernel upgrade, you should submit a bug report. It's probably not going to happen until then.
I have discovered that all of mans unhappiness derives from only one source, not being able to sit quietly in a room
- Blaise Pascal
1) Stick the rescue cd in.
2) At the isolinux prompt type arch root=/dev/discs/path/to/your/root/partition. For example, my root partition is /dev/discs/disc1/part1 so I would type: arch root=/dev/discs/disc1/part1 .
this doesn't work for me. going to try the /dev/hdb7 and we' ll see. [I'm going to write down the error I get]
I'm submit to bugs. the rescue cd doesn't do ntfs and/or vfat. my hda [whole is ntfs] I hope MBR is somehow neutral so lilo can write to it, eventhough the kernel refuses
it does NOT work either. if anyone was able to do this before, I would be very pleased.
What about
at shell :
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /mnt #change discs/disc0/part3 to your /root partition
chroot /mnt
Mr Green
Mr Green
after a lot of testing and luck I was able to boot arch again [update lilo that is]
what did I do: [i did all that because lilo refuses either to write the map file, or protests about /dev/hda or /dev/discs/disc0/disc {depending if it was Slack or Arch}]
I booted with SlackWare 9.1 Rescue/Install CD {which has vfat}
and which plays without devfs [so /dev/hdb8 was my root arch]
I mounted my arch root
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb8 /tmp
I change the /tmp/etc/lilo.conf to:
image=/tmp/boot/vmlinuz26 # important change
/boot [the slackware's cd's one] links to /mnt/boot so I did
mkdir /mnt/boot
and then tried to play with lilo a bit
. /tmp/sbin/lilo -C /tmp/etc/lilo.conf -m /tmp/boot/map -M /dev/hda mbr -v
with the above command I have a boot.0300
in /mnt/boot directory
so in the end I just did
cp /mnt/boot/boot.0300 /tmp/boot/
which overwrote the BAD AND UGLY AND OLD [and at last] boot.0300 with the new one [that containted info about the new kernel]
I prayed to Buddha a bit, and then reboot. I there chose arch and OMFG! i was able to boot it
a) I love LILO
b) I love Slackware
c) I love Arch [though I sumbitted some bug reports about the Rescue CD]
mostly I love the fact that I lost some hours do make it work, but now it works as before. On the other hand, I always remember myself trying for days to fix the windows, and then give up [or if i could hack it in a way that would work, then it would be giving me Blue Screens [now dark blue in win2k/xp] of DEATH]
so I must say I love the Penguin
thanks to everyone that helped.
I hope the pkger of kernel would soon add the WARNING [sumbitted bug for that too] and if anyone forgets it or wants to play [like me] then I hope for him that he reads this post, and make it work [i could work with Arch's Live CD too, not sure]
that's all baby.
another success story yeahhhhhhhhh!! :$

It's Mother's Day Weekend, and we know what that means: pink bats on Sunday! I think it's a charming idea, and it's great for raising money – they'll be selling many of the game-used bats. Howevah, you can also buy your own bat via Louisville Sluggers. No, you wouldn't get teased for using a pink bat in your beer league. Not at all.
I'm a Lady… who loves freak accidents. (I mean, I don't like that they happen to people, but I certainly laugh when I hear of athletes scratching their eyes on pillows, falling off their trucks, or hurting themselves hauling meat up several flights of stairs.) Golden State Warrior Monta Ellis injured his back while reaching up to sign an autograph for a kid. Doesn't he know you should stretch before any and all physical exertions? Especially autograph-signing! (scroll down to see the story; it starts at "Murphy's Law".)
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., is leaving DEI (Dale Earnhardt Inc.). How does the lone DE in DEI leave? That's wrong, just wrong. Isn't Teresa Earnhardt (the CEO of DEI) his mom? Can't she just make him? My mom can guilt-trip me into jumping off a bridge, if she sets her heart on it. (Love ya, Mom! Happy Mother's Day!)
Dirk Nowitzki reportedly will be named MVP next Tuesday. Dirk is the first Euro-born player to receive the award. I know some want to disparage his receiving the award by pointing out his hapless record in the post-season, but it is a regular season award, and he did deserve it. Commence mocking now.
Fernando Alonso, race car driver, led the afternoon session at the Circuit de Catalunya with a best time of 1:21:397. I'd never heard of him before, but he's hot. So, there you go.
PhillyBurbs has a great piece on Ladies… favorite Cole Hamels. I never knew that he had rods placed in his left arm after a break to that bone. It's a very interesting look at the evolution of a pitcher.
Finally, I know who Ian Snell is, but hotdamn, I never noticed what a hottie he is. SI.com has a great little piece on his own evolution from a thrower to a pitcher. Okay, so I only used the SI piece as an excuse to run his picture. Is that so wrong?
This picture cracks me up.

Dhaka, Dec 11 (IBNS) A senior United Nations political official has called for Bangladesh's next parliamentary elections to be "peaceful, inclusive and credible," and has encouraged those taking part to work together and to engage in constructive dialogue towards these ends.
The UN Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Oscar Fernandez-Taranco, made the comments in the South Asian nation on Sunday, at the end of four-day visit conducted at the request of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
While in the capital, Dhaka, according to the UN Department of Political Affairs (DPA), Mr. Fernandez-Taranco met with top government and political party leaders - including the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister - as well as with national electoral officials, in order to exchange views on the political situation in the country and ongoing UN electoral assistance.
He also met with representatives of civil society, the media and the diplomatic community, to exchange views.
In a news release, DPA noted that Mr. Fernandez-Taranco stressed to all interlocutors that the next parliamentary elections should be "peaceful, inclusive and credible to give voters a real choice at the polls."
"He said that from the UN perspective, free, fair and credible elections would present an opportunity for the nation to further consolidate its democracy and that a credible election and strengthened democracy would contribute to inclusive economic growth and social achievements as well," the Department said.
Mr. Fernandez-Taranco underlined that a conducive environment for free elections must be promoted by national actors through political dialogue and supported by the people," DPA added. "In this context, he regretted the violence that erupted during the road blockade on 9 December 2012 which resulted in death of several people and the injury of many others."
To create such a conducive environment, the UN official encouraged all electoral stakeholders, in particular political parties, to work together and engage in constructive dialogue in order to achieve inclusive and successful parliamentary polls.
"He also called on political parties, civil society and media to engage constructively with the Bangladesh Election Commission to ensure a suitable and enabling environment in which it can effectively operate and fulfil its mandate," DPA noted, adding that Mr. Fernandez-Taranco said that the UN will continue to work in support of the people of Bangladesh, including through technical assistance to the Bangladesh Election Commission.

High Court hearing adjourned until Friday as Portsmouth case continues
A High Court case which could determine the future of Portsmouth has been adjourned until 2pm on Friday.
Last Updated: 13/12/12 4:11pm
The League One club remains in administration while prospective new owners Portsmouth Supporters' Trust attempt to buy Fratton Park from former owners Portpin, who hold the stadium as security.
Portpin have refused a £2.75m offer, and administrators PKF hope the High Court will force through the sale by agreeing with their preferred bidders' valuation.
But PKF, who fear Portsmouth will be liquidated if the sale of Fratton Park does not go through, have now asked for a delay of 28 days while they "take stock and assess options."
And the presiding judge agreed to consider the request at 2pm on Friday, following an overnight adjournment.
Another administrator, Brendan Guilfoyle of P&A Partnership, says Portpin have promised to keep the club afloat until the end of the season if he is appointed to oversee a new bidding process.
Guilfoyle said: "Portpin don't feel the club has been fully marketed and they don't want it liquidated if it can't be sold to PST.
"They will fund the continuation of the club until the end of the season as long as the court involve me and I can be given an opportunity to find a new buyer.
"My involvement if there is any, will be a matter for the court, to give the court another option as Portpin feel the options presented, either a sale to PST or closure, need broadening."

The weird coach made a remark about how students that don't get good grades could turn about to be welfare recipients in the future. The student is saying that he meant the remark towards black people. There is a video clip with the link.
---A Kansas City basketball coach has been placed on administrative leave after being caught making wildly insensitive remarks on a cell phone video, with the student involved subsequently filing a racial harassment complaint against the coach.
As reported by the Kansas City Star and KCTV News, among other outlets, Marcus Williams Sr. and his son, Marcus Williams Jr., filed a racial harassment suit against the Winnetonka School District after Winnetonka (Kan.) High basketball coach Derek Howard called the younger Williams a "future welfare recipient" while the student was posing for a picture in a school hallway, then repeated the comments while Williams filmed him on his cell phone.
Here's how Marcus Williams Jr. described the incident to KCTV:
"[Howard] was doing a daily jog and he stopped and he said, 'Hey, take a picture and then at the bottom: future welfare recipient,'" the student said. "I just felt belittled, crushed and utterly discouraged."
Marcus Williams said this comment was typical of those he has endured for the past two years. So he grabbed his cell phone and asked his coach to repeat his remarks.
The coach can be heard laughing and saying, "Future welfare recipient who? Students that don't get good grades."
According to the Williams family, Howard's comment was just the latest example of racially insensitive comments from the longtime basketball coach. The younger Williams told KCTV that he refused to try out for the school's basketball team for the 2011 season because Howard told African-American members of the team that they would grow up to be laborers who earned less than $30,000 annually. The teenager claims that he repeatedly asked the coach to stop making the insensitive comments, but that the coach ignored those pleas.
After the younger Williams brought video of the coach's comments to the school principal, Howard was summoned and apologized. Yet the Williams family feels there wasn't any sincerity in the coach's apology, and won't be comfortable with the incident's resolution unless Howard isn't employed by the school any longer; the coach is currently on paid administrative leave.
"Countless times I told him, 'Hey, this is hurting my feelings and you should stop.' I guess he thinks I'm just a kid and he can do whatever he wants," Marcus Williams Jr. told KCTV. "I think he just apologized to take the heat off of him and I don't think he means what he says."
Meanwhile, the elder Williams insists that more students will come forward with similar complaints about the coach in the days to come. In the meantime, he insists the family's discrimination suit isn't about money; he simply wants the coach to issue a public apology and agree to get counseling.
"There's other kids coming forth, telling my son that they're glad somebody stepped up," Williams Sr. told the Star. "Ultimately, we want to shed light on how some teachers are bullying our kids. I don't care about money right now, man. I'm standing up as a concerned parent."

Aggies Renew Rivalry With Elon
Elon (1-1) at North Carolina A&T (1-0)
Date: September 14, 2013
Time: 6 p.m.
Facility: Aggie Stadium
Series: Tied, 4-4
Radio: WNAA 90.1 FM, Campus Radio Station: Spencer Gwynn (play-by-play); Billy Covington (color); Al Swann (analysis)
Webstream: www.ncataggies.com, Walter Johnson (play-by-play)
A&T OFFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH: RB Dominique Drake (5-9, 202, Sr., 84 yds rushing, 2 rec., 18 yds); WR Desmond Lawrence (5-10, 181, 5 rec., 43 yds, 1TD); QB Kwashaun Quick (6-0, 185, So., 12-for-21, 1 INT, 1 TD); LT William Ray Robinson III (6-3, 305, R-Jr., first-team All-MEAC in 2012, surrendered only 1 sack); RT Nathan Isles (6-5, 324, Sr., will clear the way in the running game).
ELON OFFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH: WR Ricky Brown (5-9, 170, Jr., 7 rec., 110 yds); RB Tracey Coppedge (5-9, 166, So., 6.0 yds per carry, Phoenix leading rusher); WR Andre Davis (5-10, 192, So., 5 rec., 77 yds, 15.4 yds per catch, 1TD); C Clay Johnson (6-3, 266, Sr., 2nd-team preseason All-SoCon); QB Mike Quinn (6-3, 204, Jr., 46-for-69, 414 yds, 3 INT, 3 TDs); WR Rasaun Rorie (6-2, 203, Sr., 8 rec., 90 yds, 1 TD).
A&T DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH: DB Travis Crosby (5-9, 189, Sr., 12 tackles, 1.5 TFLs) CB D'Vonte Graham (5-7, 157, Sr., preseason All-MEAC, preseason All-American); LB D'Vonte Grant (5-10, 208, Sr., 8 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 INT returned for TD, 1 BLK); DT Michael Neal (5-11, 264, So., 4 tackles, 1 sack, 2 QB hurries).
ELON DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH: LB Odell Benton (6-0, 210, Jr., 5 solo tackles, 2TFLs); LB Corey Mitchell (6-0, 224, R-Fr., 10 tackles, 1 TFL); LB Jonathan Spain (6-2, 242, Jr., 2nd-team All-SoCon in 2012 1st-team preseason All-SoCon in 2013); FS Chandler Wrightenberry (5-10, 205, Sr., 164 career tackles, five career INTs).
Aggies Overview: The Aggies are coming off one of the biggest wins in program history thanks to their 24-21 triumph over No. 21 Appalachian State at Kidd Brewer Stadium. It was the Aggies first-ever win at Appalachian State, and it was their first win over a ranked opponent in 10 years. The Aggies were rewarded for their victory. They are the No. 2 black college football team in the nation. Freshman punter Dominic Frescura earned national Special Teams Player of the Week honors from The Spots Network, and he came away with MEAC Rookie of the Week accolades. Senior linebacker D'Vonte Grant was named MEAC Defensive Player of the Week after returning an interception 57 yards for a touchdown. The Aggies must step away from the thrill of the Mountaineers victory and focus on another tough SoCon opponent in Triad foe Elon. The Aggies are 22-10 in home openers since Aggie Stadium opened in 1981. A&T is 2-2 against the Phoenix at Aggie Stadium, but in both Elon wins, The Aggies were shutout. The two teams will be meeting for the first time in seven years as the Aggies are looking to avenge a 45-0 defeat to Elon in 2006.
Phoenix Overview: Elon will find out a lot about itself this week as it faces an opponent of its equal for the first time this season. The Phoenix opened the season with a 70-0 loss to Division I-BCS school Georgia Tech in Atlanta before beating Division II West Virginia Wesleyan 49-7 last week in Elon. Redshirt freshman running back B.J. Bennett was selected as the SoCon Freshman of the Week after scoring three rushing touchdowns against West Virginia Wesleyan last week. Junior quarterback Mike Quinn will be making his third career start. Quinn has completed 67.3 percent of his passes. His three main threats are junior wideout Kierre Brown, sophomore receiver Andre Davis and senior wide receiver Rasaun Rorie. Defensively, the Phoenix turn to first-team preseason All-SoCon linebacker Jonathan Spain. Redshirt freshman linebacker Corey Mitchell and sophomore linebacker Alexander Dawson lead the Phoenix with 10 tackles apiece.
Potential Star: It is always scary to say a punter is a potential star, but in the case of Dominic Frescura, he was nothing short of the Aggies MVP last week against Appalachian State. The California native pinned the Mountaineers inside their own 4-yard line four times last week and he boomed punts of 63 and 60 yards. If he punts like that this week, he will put the Aggies defense in excellent position to slow down the Phoenix's offense.
News & Notes:
The Aggies are 22-10 in home openers since Aggie Stadium opened in 1981. Tonight's game will mark the first time since 2009 the Aggies have not opened at home against a Division II opponent. This will mark the fourth straight season A&T has opened at home against a non-conference opponent.
The Aggies, who had the No. 2 defense in the nation last season thanks in part to their No. 3 rank rush defense, looked poised to have a repeat performance. The last time a team scored a rushing touchdown against the Aggies came on Oct. 20, 2012 when Delaware State scored on the ground. The Aggies have now gone five straight games and 22 straight quarters without surrendering a rushing touchdown.
The last time the Aggies defeated two SoCon teams in the same season came in 1993 when they defeated Appalachian State 22-10 and Western Carolina 34-7.
From the Coach
"Our motto is "win the kicking game." With the two kickers we have, if we get better in that area, we can win some games. With the return guys that we have, we can make some plays. With D'Vonte Graham back there as our punt returner and Desmond Lawrence and Tony McRae returning kicks, we've got some guys back there who can make some plays for us if we block things up the right way."

Just got back from a 3 hour round trip drive to pick up my new 88 RX. Goes to show after months of waiting and searching you will find it. 88 RX Full Time 4 Wheel, Turbo, LSD, Locking Diff, 5spd, Power Everything. Runs fantastic, needs some minor rust fixing and ding repair. Odometer says 87k, I'm positive that's not actual but odometer was reset at new engine?(Further investigation needed but who cares it's an RX, and exactly what I was looking for).
Spent $840 not great but not bad either, sorry it's late better pics tomorrow guys.
UPDATE: Took it in to the brother's shop for full engine inspection (compression, leak-down, etc)..Came back with spec and no problems, exactly what I wanted to hear! Seems the 87k on the engine is most likely correct. Don't get me wrong needs some work, seats need recovering, heat/air control isn't working (temp switch is stuck won't move), minor electrical gremlins, rust, and so on. But is mechanically sound. Updated my gallery with some much better pics...

Odometer 87k? Engine maybe, car I don't think so
Some of the rust

cool. looks like you might have gotten a better deal than I even just had- 87 with 67000 for $675 but mine probably has more rust, although not too much visible on the outside.

Surprise! Elections have consequences!
The USAToday, of all places has an article today entitled "A revolution in the works?" that is basically about folks worried about the intrusive government we've created for ourselves;
And it's not just Republicans unhappy with Obama, or gun owners afraid that the government will take their guns: 38% of Democrats, and 45% of non-gun owners, see the government as a threat.
Add this to another recent poll in which only 22% of likely voters feel America's government has the "consent of the governed," and you've got a pretty depressing picture — and a recipe for potential trouble. Governments operate, to a degree, by force, but ultimately they depend on legitimacy.
Yeah, well, we've done this to ourselves. The complacency about candidates, allowing the parties to choose the candidates, the conservative party doing their best to be the Easter Bunny as much as the liberals, handing out candy while trying to maintain security and do the constitutional mandates. Both parties buying constituency instead of governing the whole country.
Yes, trying to legislate morality is in there, too, as well as building a class of people who are dependent on the government for their basic survival needs. For example in the Washington Post there's an article about the Montgomery County, Maryland superintendent of schools trying to live on what the county gives poor families for food – as if that's in his lane;
Hunger receives scant mention in Montgomery, where the median household income is $92,000 and growth, transportation and education dominate the policy discussion. "What most people know about the county is how well it does," said Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Mid-County).
But amid the wealth there are pockets of urgent need. Almost 27,000 low-
income Montgomery households received SNAP assistance last year, a 138 percent increase from 2007, according to county figures. A family of four earning less than $2,400 a month is eligible for help.
So, of course, since they figure that folks can't live on the $5/day the county gives them for food, they have to give families more money – but where does that money come from in the current environment? And giving someone who makes almost $30,000/year assistance hardly seems like it makes sense. One of the reasons that $30k isn't enough money for a family to live on in Montgomery County is because of the taxes, so they're going to spend more money, raise taxes and perpetuate the vicious circle.
The more we take from government, the more of our own freedom to make choices we surrender, but folks don't see it that way. The people who fought so hard for the Healthcare bill are now seeing their own healthcare premiums rise so that insurance companies can meet their own expenses and still give folks the level of care for which they paid.
Someone has to pay for all of this free shit people want – and the rich can't afford us either.

The MV-22 Osprey damaged by a grass fire Friday remains at the Dare County bombing range.
Inspections of the aircraft are still ongoing as crews determine how it will return to Cherry Point.
The Osprey was damaged by a grass fire that flared up as it was landing.
4 marines were on board at the time. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the grass fire is under investigation.
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. (AP) - The Marine Corps says an Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft sparked a grass fire at a North Carolina bombing range, resulting in minor damage.
The MV-22 Osprey can take off like a helicopter and fly like a plane.
The spokesman for Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point said Friday the aircraft's very hot exhaust ignited the grass fire while it was either taking off or landing. Spokesman Mike Barton says the aircraft may have been slightly scorched, but did not catch fire and was not badly damaged. No injuries were reported.
Barton says the Osprey was on a training mission at a Dare County bombing range used by Navy and Air Force aircraft.
A spokeswoman at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base had no immediate information.

Targeting PocketPCs With Mono? 90
I have been looking at Mono for some time and MonoDevelop seems a hell of a lot simpler to use. I even started playing with it. It runs fine on my Mac.
I tried Google again to find some information on writing .NET Compact Framework applications with MonoDevelop, but I didn't find anything. It seems Mono implements the Compact Framework, but there's not much more information about this. Except for one blog post from 2006, I didn't find anything else.
So, I ask: is it possible? Is anyone doing this with any success? Is there any problem I should know beforehand?"

NEW BATAAN, Philippines (AP) - A typhoon that killed nearly 600 people and left hundreds missing in the southern Philippines has made a U-turn and is now threatening the country's northwest.
The country's weather bureau raised storm warnings over parts of the main northern island of Luzon today after Typhoon Bopha veered northeast. Forecasters say there's a strong possibility the storm would make a second landfall tomorrow, though it also could make a loop and remain in the South China Sea.
In either case, the storm is moving close to shore and disaster officials are warning of heavy rains and winds and possible landslides in the mountains.
Another calamity in the north would stretch recovery efforts thin. Most government resources, including army and police, are currently focused on the south, where the typhoon struck Tuesday.
Officials in the south say search teams are working without the help of local guides because many survivors there are still in shock.
Soldiers, police and outside volunteers continue to search for bodies or signs of life under the tons of fallen trees and boulders swept down from the steep hills that surround the worst-hit town of New Bataan.

Black conservative Shelby Steele recently speculated with an interviewer from the American Enterprise, a conservative journal, about how a race between Hillary Clinton and Rice might turn out. "If Hillary runs against a man, my guess is there's a certain women's vote out there that will go for her, even many Republicans," he said. "But if she's running against Condoleezza Rice, that would disappear. A large bit of the black vote that Democrats are so desperately dependent upon would also disappear. If Condoleezza Rice ran, she could win by simply taking an extra 15 percent of the black vote."I hope we do.
But from my own anecdotal observation, Spike Lee speaks for a lot of African Americans who have strong negative feelings about Rice. If she runs, he told the New York Observer, "African Americans will have to really, really, really, really, really , REALLY analyze the secretary of state's record, and get past the pigmentation of her skin. . . . I'm not going to vote for that woman. No. Way. "
Steele acknowledges that he might be wrong, that Rice might turn out to be a lousy politician. Lee acknowledges that "I'm not the spokesperson for 45 million African Americans." The truth is that nobody knows how voters would respond to a black woman who loyally serves an administration so reviled in the black community.
And would those cheering, white 'Bama football fans check her name when they're in the privacy of the voting booth?
Nobody knows. But I'll bet that someday -- maybe not soon, but someday -- we'll find out.

I sure do want Condi, but I'm sure the Repubs will give us someone tedious like one of the many charmless senators they keep offering up in all those polls. Yuk.

I don't know Eugene Robinson's political leanings, but he references the old saw that down deep conservatives, especially Southern ones, just HAVE to be racist. There are certainly racist conservatives out there but any Democrats relying on racism to put their (white) candidate over the top will likely be disappointed. I can tell you in a choice between Hillary and Condi race will not put Hillary over the top. Racism exists in conservatives but pragmatism is much stronger.
- Gahrie said...
Most of those 'Bama fans who would have qualms voting for Sec. of State Rice because she's black, wouldn't be voting for her anyways because she's a Republican.
First, where has this myth of Republican racism sprung from? The Republican Party was formed to oppose slavery. The Democratic Party supported it. The Republican Party supported the CRA of 1964 and opposed Jim Crow. The Democratic party imposed Jim Crow and opposed the CRA. The Republican Party has appointed more highly placed black people to positions of power. The Democratic Party continues to support and re-elect an organizer for the Klan.
Second, I think you'll find that many of those good ol' boys are much more distrustful of that Yankee Sen. Clinton than Sec. of State Rice who they understand, especially when Condi starts talking about wanting to be the commish of the NFL.
I do agree however that people overstate the support that Sec. of State Rice would receive from the black vote. That vote truly resides on the Democratic plantation.
- Ken Begg said...
Rice would be elected, and then Spike Lee and all the usual suspects would say it doesn't mean anything because Rice "isn't really black."
- CB said...
The situation with Ms. Rice dramatically illustrates how disfunctional black politics has become. A black female is appointed secretary of state--an astonishing and unprecedented accomplishment--and she is met with nothing but criticism from blacks. The mind boggles. It seems that most of the praise for Ms. Rice comes from conservative white males like me.
- MrBuddwing said...
There have been rumors - just that, rumors - that Vice President Cheney might not serve out his entire second term. Wouldn't it be a real kick in the head if President Bush were to choose Secretary Rice to be vice president for the remainder of his term?
- Too Many Jims said...
"That vote truly resides on the Democratic plantation."
Given the context of this discussion, nice use of the phrase "plantation".
"The situation with Ms. Rice dramatically illustrates how disfunctional black politics has become. A black female is appointed secretary of state--an astonishing and unprecedented accomplishment--and she is met with nothing but criticism from blacks."
Couldn't one draw the exact opposite conclusion from blacks' criticism of Rice. That is, blacks no longer look to the pigmentation but to the individual's record in deciding how to react to a politician. Rather than dysfunctional, that seems quite healthy.
- Jeff said...
"African Americans will have to really, really, really, really, really , REALLY analyze the secretary of state's record, and get past the pigmentation of her skin. . . . I'm not going to vote for that woman. No. Way. "
Right. Like with Marion Berry.

Soft face of the hard line
- AJ Lynch said...
It's a shame the doctrinaire Robinson didn't get up out of his chair and walk around DC to ask some average blacks on the street what they think and feel and know about Condi. No it was too easy for him to just quote a celebrity.
I'd like to know if a significant percentage of blacks give Bush credit for his minority appointments. Could someone do a poll, please?
And I predict BLACKS would vote for Condi in big numbers.
- yetanotherjohn said...
Both Steele and Rice are right in this. Out of the 90% of Black votes the democrats take now, about 15% would likely switch to support a Rice candidacy. It might be more.
The other 75% would likely still vote for the democrat. Look at what percentage Steele pulled of the Black vote in Maryland. It's the same idea.
What is interesting to me is that the debate both shows how close and how far we are from the King dream. Lee is saying we should only really, really, really look at their charachter if their color is black. Steele is saying that being Black will pull a certain number of voters.
As far as racism or genderism is involved, yes it will be there. Some won't vote for a black or a woman. Some will vote for them because they are black or a woman. Both are being bigots, but hey that is the reality of the world we live in.
- bearbee said...
"I'd like to know if a significant percentage of blacks give Bush credit for his minority appointments."
I have heard that minority homeownership and minority owned business' have significantly increased due changed loan qualifications requirements. This also does not seem to get much attention.
- Bruce Hayden said...
I don't see this as a problem. Whenever the idea that Republicans are racists is trotted out, it is backed by reference to Nixon's Southern Strategy. But that ignores a lot of things. First, as pointed out, the Republican Party was founded on emancipating the slaves. The Democratic Party was founded by slave holders. The southern Democrats left the Union to maintain slavery, and many of the Northern Democrats of the time agreed with them. They went on to impose Jim Crow, joined the Klan, and lynched a lot of Black people to keep it all in place. A Republican President first desegregated the White Hoouse, and a Democratic one who resegregated it fifty years later. It was the Republicans who overwhelmingly passed the CRA, while Democrats filibustered it. And, I would suggest, the bulk of the Republican Party still believes this way. My ancesters helped with the Underground Railroad, voted for Lincoln, and we have been Republicans ever since. I don't think we are that atypical.
Also, Dr. Rice has southern roots. She was born there and raised there until moving here to CO. Sen. Clinton is a carpetbagger of the worst type. Add to this religion and national defense, and I don't see very many Southern Republicans defecting.
On the other hand, Dr. Rice has shown that African-Americans can live the American dream too. She did it the American way, through a lot of hard work. And she has ascended to be probably the most powerful woman in the world today. She did this on her own merits, and not running in a gerrymandered district with a large Black majority.
Yes, a lot of the Black constituancy will stay on the plantation. But I think Steele is right - in the privacy of the voting booth, a lot of blacks are going to say, she is one of us, and we want our kids looking to her as a role model. (And, besides, how can they really vilify the church organist, esp. since she played in several Black churches when she was at Stanford?)
- minimus said...
Secretary Rice attended the Alabama Tennessee game this fall. She would best Hillary with Alabama football fans of all skin tones. Thanks to Sam Cunningham and Paul Bryant the operative color with Alabama football is Crimson.
- Charlie Eklund said...
Amen, Gahrie!!
What is it about the Democratic Party, anyway, that they're always re-writing history? And that they're always so successful at it?
Is is partisan of me to say something like that? I supposed it is. At any rate, it's certainly "part" of the reason I'm no longer the Democratic voter I started my voting-life more than 25 years ago.
- Chrees said...
Well, speaking as a white Alabama alum (I wasn't cheering yesterday since I couldn't watch the game), I would consider Rice if she were to run. If I didn't vote for her, it has nothing to do with her race or sex and everything to do with how I view her competence.

First, where has this myth of Republican racism sprung from? The Republican Party was formed to oppose slavery. The Democratic Party supported it. The Republican Party supported the CRA of 1964 and opposed Jim Crow. The Democratic party imposed Jim Crow and opposed the CRA. The Republican Party has appointed more highly placed black people to positions of power. The Democratic Party continues to support and re-elect an organizer for the Klan.
It's no myth. The GOP post-Civil War and up through the early 1960s is gone, thanks to the "Southern Strategy" of the 70s, that wooed those unreconstructed Southern Democrats over, and in doing so, opened the door to racism in the GOP. The GOP is the party that makes it election year pilgrimage to Bob Jones U., and it's the party that accepted David Duke as its candidate for state-wide and national office in Louisiana. You can't argue that GOP racism is a "myth" without having to go back to Lincoln.
As for Byrd, the Christian church copes with St. Paul. Byrd had his road to Damascus experience.
There are racists in both parties; currently, the Democrats appeal more to black voters. I have to assume those voters understand their own interests.
- Ricardo said...
Can someone, in a non-hyped and factual way, please give me "the case for Condoleeza Rice"? What has she done, besides prop up George W. Bush? I'm not looking for accolades or titles or awards ("first black women to ...." doesn't count). I'm looking for things she has "done".
I've already seen the list of things she hasn't done. For example, as the National Security Advisor to the President, there is no evidence that she was at all interested in, or engaged in, anti-terrorism work during the summer months of 2001, just prior to 911.
But can someone give me the opposite viewpoint? What real accomplishments qualify her to be President?
- Goatwhacker said...
I actually agree with Elizabeth here - the history of racism within either political party is unlikely to resonate much with minority voters today, they are much more concerned about current policy in determining their vote. This generally translates to policy on affimative action and entitlements. Unfortunately discussion on those issues often descends into charges of racism rather than gaining any mutual understanding.
I don't agree with Elizabeth's David Duke reference, it's a cheap shot since Duke is by no means accepted by the conservative mainstream, he's an embarassment and should just go away.
- Elizabeth said...
He is indeed an embarrassment, but he has been a part of the GOP, actively, here in Louisiana. He's no myth, sadly, and as the topic is racism in the GOP of the South, he's relevent. He held state office, representing the suburb next to New Orleans in the late 1980s. He ran for U.S. Senate in 1990, and governor in 1991, and in both elections, while he lost, he got the majority of the white vote in the state! In the gubernatorial election in 1995/1996, the winner, Republican Mike Foster, paid Duke $200K for his mailing list, and then paid another $52K in 1997 for continuing use of it. Foster had to be getting some fundraising benefit from Duke's list. You're right, the GOP ought to be embarrassed by Duke, but that embarrassment would be more if they would have purged him from their ranks right from the start. When he was useful to them, they let him in the big tent.
- Elizabeth said...
that embarrasment would be more credible--sorry for that omission.
- bearbee said...
Seems to me it is difficult to detail accomplishments of a Secretary of State as so much is behind closed doors but here is a Slate article What the secretary of state has done right, and wrong, in her first six months
written August 11, 2005 listing accomplishments in the first six months.
I do not recall reading other articles by this
The US Department of State has much in the way of her travels, meetings, remarks
What the SoS has been saying
- PatCA said...
"And would those cheering, white 'Bama football fans check her name when they're in the privacy of the voting booth?"
Again, a sneering racial stereotype that is totally permissible in today's PC world because it's against whites. I'm a graduate of Bama, and I think most of the conservatives that I knew would vote Condi. Go to hell, WaPo.
- Elizabeth said...
I agree with Pat, here. I'm also tired of the stereotypes, and they appear in every media. I do think that race will be a factor for some voters, and not just in the South. Me, I hope not to be voting for a conservative, of any color, gender, or party. I don't always have much of a choice, however.
- hygate said...
I'm an Auburn fan myself, but I know quite a few Alabama fans and almost all of them are democrats. And no, I don't think they would vote for her.
- Ricardo said...
bearbee: Thanks for the link. That was an interesting article.
- Brendan said...
In 1964, George Wallace won 45% of the popular vote in the Democratic primaries he entered. Forty five percent of those who "champion" themselves as the founders, protectors, and supporters of Civil Rights voted for an avowed racist.
"But he wasn't a real Democrat! He was a heartless Republican in Dem clothing!"
Horseshit. He wasn't a Republican in those days because the GOP had no use for him and nothing to offer. The party was anti-Communist, not anti-black. Sorry, but "segregation now, tomorrow, and forever" will always be a stain on your party, not mine.
Blacks blackballing Condoleeza? Since when do they give a toss about foreign policy?
- Sanjay said...
Now, I love this woman. Love love love her. I think she's great at her job and I'd love to have her as Secretary of State for the next many many years; I actually think that might be her ideal (but probably not realistic) scenario too.
President? Dunno. The head says no, the heart says yes. But this is where I find a lot of the "will she or won't she?" speculation sort of crazy.
Because the reason I'd love to see her run is that beautiful, clear, and (God help us) "nuanced" way she has of articlulating things, the straight-shooter way she jets off to Idonesia and lets the Chinese have it with both barrels, then savagely beats on Iran with one hand while delicately finessing them with the other. That amazing unwillingness not to "dumb down" an idea, but instead to sell it as it is. I'd love to see it in a campaign.
But it is that very quality about Dr. Rice that makes the idea that she'll run weak. She's said no. She means it. When a politican says no --- maybe. When Condi Rice says no --- it's no. She's thought it through and that's what she's got.

My lws opened this and a 05 marquax on 11/10/12 for public to taste for free!!!! Both were closed and tight in my opinion.
Golden honey in color, not as thick or sryup like as I was expecting. Fresh melon/citrus apparent prior to bringing in to my nose. Tastes of melons, citrus and a little honey/ginger. Nice finish but not as long as I would have liked. Have had much better Sauternes and desert wines than this (esp for the $$$). Not a numbers guy but I would give it a 88.
dd, I often find that young d'Yquem from a purported great year is too over the top in its youth. I've had some side-by-sides that illustrate this well. In about 1980, at a dinner with friends, we tasted the 1975, 1976, and 1977 at the same time. The 1977 is regarded as a relative off-vintage, especially in comparison with the other two. At that time, the 1977 was the better wine.
In about 1978, we tasted the 1958 and 1959 side-by-side. The 1959 is considered the far better vintage, and these were not infants, but I thought the 1958 was a bit better.
That 2005, my guess is, just needs a lot of time.
Just one more sip.
A big +1 on often enjoying off-vintages of d'Yquem more than the celebrated vintages.
While always exceptions to stellar vintages, ( '67) I do not enjoy wines that exhibit any cloying traits.
On a side note, I also often much prefer Scheurebe wines to Sauternes. ( ducking for cover)
Ducking for cover? I agree wholeheartedly. I know I posted before about a dinner years ago with 9 people. The dessert wines, both provided by me, were a 1967 d'Yquem and a $17 half bottle of 1983 Kreuznacher Hollebrand Scheurebe Eiswein. Both wines were amazingly fine, but all nine of us preferred the Eiswein.
IMO, Scheurebe is the single most underappreciated wine grape.
Edit: corrected my spellingThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Board-O,
Just one more sip.
Then might I suggest you avoid Canadian Vidal Ice Wines?
Just one more sip.
Not sure I recall that post.
You are a man of exquisite taste, Board-O.
I cook several ricotta pound cakes each Christmas season, and Scheure is my wine of choice.
Gee, it was only a little over ten years ago!
Just one more sip.
I'm a huge fan of all things Scheurebe, but have had zero luck sourcing anything Stateside. I tasted quite a few from small family producers on a trip to the Rheingau, and was an experience I'll never forget.
Shane, in the past I've gotten Scheurebe Eiswein from Zachy's. You might consider Phelp's Eisrebe, technically not an ice wine, because they pick the graoes at optimal ripeness and then freeze them, but it makes no difference to me.
Just one more sip.
I would add the wines of Alois Kracher. Their Scheurebe wines are brilliant.
I agree with that statement.
I also agree that, while I can really enjoy a young Sauternes I generally prefer a good Kracher to most (aged) Sauternnes
I think I've only had one Kracher wine, a Chardonnay, but I have one or two Kracher Scheurebes in my cellar. Have you had any made since he passed away?
Just one more sip.
I have not.

Story highlights
- Boston Logan International Airport holds fire training exercise on anniversary of 9/11
- Massachusetts Port Authority issues apology in response to harsh condemnation
- Gov. Deval Patrick: "The timing could not be worse"
Officials from the Massachusetts Port Authority issued an apology Wednesday after conducting a fire training exercise at Boston Logan International Airport on the 12th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
"The fire department will be training this morning. Smoke on the airfield is part of the training," the airport's Twitter account announced.
In response to negative reactions on social media sites, the port authority, which operates the airport, said in a statement, "Massport apologizes for conducting the fire training exercise and understands that it may have offended many of those touched by the events of Sept. 11."
"It's just dumb," Gov. Deval Patrick said. "The timing could not be worse."
American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 traveled out of Logan and struck the World Trade Center towers in New York City after being hijacked on September 11, 2001.
The terror attack orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden killed 2,977 people in New York City; Washington, DC; and Pennsylvania, in the worst such attack in U.S. history.
Steve MacDonald, spokesman for the Boston Fire Department, told CNN on Wednesday that the department had no involvement and that the airport used its own fire department for the exercise.
"Safety and security is our top priority and constant vigilance and readiness is critical, but the exercise should not have taken place on the anniversary of 9/11," Massport's apology stated. "The airport community recognizes the day with moments of silence, a service in the chapel, and a wreath at the 9/11 memorial."
In an unrelated act of vandalism, police are trying to find out who placed two cardboard cutout images of crashing planes at the 9/11 Memorial in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, according to CNN affiliate KATC.

I've found the available workarounds are sufficient to the point that I could give a crap about texting fees. I use GoogleVoice and TextFree and they work great. My wife uses Virgin Mobile for $25/mo (that's it no extra taxes or garbage) and can text to her delight.
Maybe so, maybe not, but in either case they don't have the right to sell it as 'unlimited' if there is, in fact, a limit.
The terms of service [virginmobileusa.com] for those plans don't seem to make sense from a technical perspective:
Beyond Talk Plans: $25.00 per month for unlimited domestic text messages, picture messages, instant messages ("IM") and email messages, unlimited video, unlimited access to Downloads (VirginXL) and the mobile Internet (but not unlimited downloaded content), and 300 anytime minutes.
I know it's legalese, but I've always been told that the point of such arcane terminology is to accurately and unambiguously cover all eventualities (usually in the context of none of those eventualities being the company's fault, but I digress). How can one reconcile " unlimited access to
This is going to mean higher cell phone bills for me. I don't send text messages. Therefore all the chumps that run up high cell phone bills with text messages are effectively subsidizing me by letting the phone company offer me basic cell phone service at a lower rate. I don't believe the cell phone companies simply will earn less gratuitous profit if you remove the ring-tone and text messaging markets from profitability. Instead if you lower their margins in one area you will simply drive them up
I couldN'T care less about your opinion.
With Beluga, the recipient doesn't have to have *anything* more than SMS capability. They will be charged SMS fees until they get it, but they're still capable of participating in group chat sessions without other individuals in the Beluga Pod.
I don't believe Google Talk or any other IM system can do that. I could be wrong...
So it's Google Voice, but without the other features.
Group chat has been added to Google Talk (android client) for some time now.
(As well as the gmail interface to Gtalk, and the Windows version of GTalk).
And because its just Jabber (XMPP) Google Talk is inter-operable with almost any other Jabber based messaging service.
But you kind of miss the point of the whole story here, and that is to avoid SMS due to ridiculous pricing. So having something that ONLY requires the recipient to have SMS is EXACTLY what this thread is all about avoiding.
Paying a carrier f
I remember when SMS was free and was hidden in the advanced menu of a 3-line text display of a phone.
Indeed, it's a great scam they have going. A bunch of idiots paying exorbitant prices for something which costs the carrier basically nothing to provide.
"basically" nothing?
Every time your phone pings a cell phone tower, it transmits a packet of data to and from the tower. This packet of data has some spare space at the end. This bit of room is where the put the text message data.
Your phone is using the text message's bandwidth whether or not you're sending or receiving a text message.
Quite the racket they've got going, making you pay to make use of bandwidth that you're already consuming regardless of the use of text messages.
Well they need some relatively expensive hardware or software [wikipedia.org], but once amortized across their whole customer base over the multiple years it's functional, it is essentially free. Because it was a non-zero cost to provide it initially, it isn't actually free... but it might as well be.
So they found a way to make money on what would normally be overhead, I don't see a problem with that. For me, it's worth the $10 I spend on each of my lines for the family to have the option to txt the kids, or them to txt me. Even tho I account for maybe 1% of the messages each month, I don't have a problem paying for the service. I got caught paying per message fees once with my teen aged daughter, worked out a deal with the carrier to back date the unlimited plan. They were quite reasonable about it
This is simply a myth. The sending of text messages consumes network resources that cost money. How much they cost is a different question - and I am not disagreeing with you that the markup may be exhorbitant, but I do have to correct your claim.
In GSM, sending a text message still predominantly operates over an SDCCH [wikipedia.org] (standalone dedicated control channel), which requires a full paging (for network originated) or random access cycle, encryption setup messages, authentication messages. The whole process can
SMS in its classic form is justified to be expensive. It does not travel as mere data. It on the network as Intelligent Network messages which are transactional and reliably transmitted on a per-hop basis taking in each case signalling processing resource. Once it gets through the core network to the radio it once again travels on the signalling channels where the capacity is extremely limited and is at premium. It is once again reliably transmitted and the acknowledge once again goes back with hop-per-hip
I remember when SMS was free and was hidden in the advanced menu of a 3-line text display of a phone.
SMS messages go over the (VERY!) low bandwidth control channel used for communication between the cellphone and the tower, and from there over the call set-up channels among the towers, their controllers, and the rest of the telephone network. Using them to let cellphone handsets emulate a text pager (and a text pager message sender) was something of an afterthought, put into the GSM spec and then ported to others. Because they're on the control channel, they work even if the phone has no data service or is not data service capable.
Once they caught on and started having major traffic despite the small packet size, the telcos put a price tag on them, both to try to avoid channel saturation and as a handy revenue stream. (Yes even a large number of the little text messages wouldn't clog the channels. But a customer-deployed IP-over-SMS would have been trivial. Charging a few cents for every 140-byte packet killed that idea.)
Now that mobile data services has created a fat data pipe under the separate "payload" bandwidth, moving the services currently running on SMS makes great sense for the users. But now that SMS messages have become a major income stream, despite their extreme price, the carriers have no incentive to kill this surprise cash cow. So the innovation has to come from apps developers.
While absolutely right, also totally way off the mark depending on the market.
The US market is very peculiar, so you might be spot on there, but over here in the EU where there is competition, SMS are in most cases free, even though they do as you point out actually cost quite a bit to service, the competition here is just so fierce you can't charge anything meaningful for them.
I used to work for a carrier and trust me, there is nothing we would like more than to have our users stop using SMS and MMS and mo
The US market is very peculiar, so you might be spot on there, but over here in the EU where there is competition, SMS are in most cases free, even though they do as you point out actually cost quite a bit to service, the competition here is just so fierce you can't charge anything meaningful for them.
I agree completely (with the caveat that, if a significant number of people started using IP-over-SMS to avoid data charges it wouldn't stay free AND unfettered for long.)
The US cellular market has been noncompetitive from the beginning, due to a failing of the FCC: They defined "competition" to exist when there were TWO cellular carriers in a given market, and initially allocated the spectrum in a way that made it essentially impossible for a third player to get in. They stayed that way for decades, while a small number of carriers became entrenched.
Market forces don't significantly drive down prices until there are THREE competitors (or the barriers to entry are so low that a new player is always a possibility that must be headed off.) At two players the market forces drive their prices toward each other but don't penalize that price point being high. The incentive is still to go for all the market will bear, creating a defacto cartel with no communication but price signals. Add a third player and the incentive shifts toward defecting and sucking market share from both of your competition. (Or at least that's how I understand it.)
These days we've got opportunity for more players (with more bands, plus service alternatives). And we are seeing some price and service pressure. But we've got a long way to go before somebody with a better idea can get funding from investors burned by the
Well, I can't believe I'm going to say this considering I am definitely not a fan of Facebook, but if this is what it would take to make them drop the completely outrageous SMS price tag, then I'd support it.. And, that's knowing full-well that Facebook is just doing this to increase platform adoption, since if you want to 'text', you'd have to be on FB..
That said, I doubt I'd use it, just because I don't have a Facebook account. But I'm hoping it would lower the SMS fees for myself. Competition is good, right?
There's one problem with you plan - babies.
Yes, go on Facebook and everyone from here to Timbuktu who has had a baby is taking photographs of their baby and putting it up on Facebook.
Oh, and talking about their babies.
And, that's knowing full-well that Facebook is just doing this to increase platform adoption, since if you want to 'text', you'd have to be on FB..
This is sort of my concern. Carriers are charging ridiculous prices, which should be a lesson of what happens when you give a company too much control. So is the solution to hand the control over to Facebook?
Why not come up with a standard/open messaging protocols? I really don't understand why we need to go with Facebook or Twitter to deal with status messages and short-form messaging. It's like being in the dark ages of the Internet, when you had AOL and Prodigy and CompuServe, but their respective u
Hard way to get lower rates if you ask me.
Just use Google talk for free world wide and to hell with facebook.
I think most of us have known for years that the amount we get charged for cell phone SMS and data plans is really out of whack.
How is something with a limit of 140 chars or so worth the 10 or 15 cents they charge you for it?
They've been advertising broadband and cell for the last decade as "look at all the shiny things you can do", but the price never goes down, and they keep lowering the cap on what you can use.
They've bet the farm selling telecom services, but they can't actually afford for you to use them the way they advertise them. Or, at least, we can't afford to use them the way they're advertised.
10 or 15? Sprint charges a quarter to send and receive, even within your family plan, so if my wife texts me, and i reply, it costs a buck.
Really? That is expensive, but I don't keep close tabs on the price to be honest.
I don't text, but my wife does a little
Yes, you would get billed for those 1000 received messages. You'd have to call customer support, explain what happened, ask them to block all incoming texts to your device, and then- maybe- you might be able to negotiate a refund.
But they're not crooks, it's all perfectly legal... as long as you do it on a large enough scale.
Now you are starting to understand why people aren't overly fond of the telecommunications companies Stateside.
Most of them charge not to receive the text message, but to view it instead.
Would you automatically get billed $250 just because somebody decided to send you a bunch of messages, even though you didn't want to receive them?
In a word? Yes.
In every country I've been in, telco and ISP companies are the only entities allowed to charge unlimited amounts of money for a service that you aren't even aware you are using. Here in Australia, there's been lots of horror stories of kids watching youtube videos, and then the next monthly bill on the "$25/mo" plan is $40,000! I've had this kind of thing happen to a friend, she had a bill arrive for 1 month that was bigger than her life savings.
There was a point here in Australia where Telst
Are you suggesting that every business have its fees and services reviewed by a government regulator? Said regulator would then need to have the power to accept or reject specific services and/or fees, right?
Every business? Or just the ones that the public uses? (The difference being, well, zero.)
... I've been boycotting SMS for, well, years. I only send or receive them when absolutely necessary (activating some service or other, or for Google's two-step authentication)...
SMS is bullshit, plain and simple. Then again, I doubt anyone at Slashdot wasn't already aware of that.
Verizon lets you disable all text messaging other than messages to and from Verizon services. See if your carrier does the same.
SMS isn't normal data. Ever notice how you can still send text messages even when you don't have a data connection?
Yes, the underlying method for sending the bytes of the SMS message is different than IP. But, SMS is normal data. It's still a string of bytes. I think the argument is that the load on the network generated by SMS messages with their protocol versus the load on the network generated by IP packets with their protocal is not 50,000:1 in ratio.
Anything to stop that horrendously unconscionable markup is a good thing.
You mean it will do what google voice has been doing for years?
You can send a text message when the voice channel is down. You cannot make a voice call when the text (control) channel is down.
It is like crying about the cost per gigabyte of a fiber channel, RAID1/0 SAN LUN compared to the cheap Western Digital drive you bought at Best Buy. SMS is ridiculously expensive because the underlying infrastructure is expensive. Unlike the SAN analogy, the SMS infrastructure does not need to be as robust as it. Yet rather than build out another infrastructure, they send SMS
In Europe, we have been getting better rates than you for years. I believe my teenage son sent over 3,000 text messages last month. Beats me how he manages to get good grades and play sports. I think his plan includes 500 talk minutes and "unlimited" internet - he has never gone over anyway. Costs £30/month because he wanted an extra clever phone. I think the cheap plans get down to between £10 and £15.
I have never heard of anyone paying to receive them. It's like post. The sender pays. The only real ripoff we have is roaming abroad costs and the phone companies are supposedly being compelled to lower them. I don't think you want that to happen in your country. That is government restricting business practices. We like it though.
This was not to laugh at you, but to show you what can be done as a start. We need to get it even lower here. Lobby your representatives or something.
The cost of text messages, down greatly.
The time taken to delete spam texts, up exponentially.
What would happen to SMS pricing if people, en masse, simply stopped using it unless and until the price became actually reasonable and proportional?
Yes, I know... that solution requires educated consumers we don't have, but I can dream, can't I?
The cost is reasonable. I doubt you can find more than one (if you can even find one) cellular telco that does not offer an affordable, unlimited texting plan. I think I pay $5 per month for unlimited text. I bet Verizon pays more than that to power the cell towers that I send my texts through.
I'm going to repost an older post of mine, regarding twitter - frankly - fuck facebook (and yes, I have an account but those slimy assholes treat privacy and their users with utter disdain)
Twitter is one of the greatest new forms of communications in the last 20 years.
My first 2 tweets stayed for 6+ months iirc and were just "twitter is lame" and "update: twitter is still a wank" or something like that.
I didn't 'get' twitter.
Now that I do, I do not understand why on earth SMS still exists, this website / ap
There is a cross platform messenger called Kakao Talk, that works like many others, except it's Korean made, which means an instant success here, with the proliferation of smart phones, sms will probably be gone within the year, as the only people who will hold onto their older style phones will be old people who don't text anyway.
I use Pingchat, which is also a cross platform app, to keep in touch with people out of country. Between the 2 of them, that's over 90% of the people I talk to.
Sure another app is
A young little application called Beluga caught the attention of Facebook, which purchased the company a Thursday.

Save the Date for Town & Gown Oct. 3; Event Will Feature Unveiling of Rocky on Parade Art Project
July 10, 2013
MACOMB, IL – Kick off Western Illinois University's Homecoming 2013 festivities with the annual Celebrating Town & Gown event slated for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3 at The Forum in Macomb. In addition to celebrating the past year's accomplishments of WIU President Jack Thomas and Macomb Mayor Mike Inman, the event this year will serve as the venue for the unveiling of the Rocky on Parade public art project.
According to Alumni Director Amy Spelman, at Celebrating Town & Gown 2013, the Rocky on Parade sponsors will be on hand as the 13 special Rocky sculptures are unveiled for the very first time.
"We hope you will save the date and join us for a great evening in Macomb," Spelman said. "This year's event will be even more exciting as this will be the first time the public will be able to see the Rocky on Parade sculptures."
Also during the event, the Honorary Alumni and Town & Gown Awards will be presented, and a short program will begin at 6:15 p.m. The Honorary Alumni Award, given annually since 1994, will be presented to an individual who is not a WIU graduate but who has provided exceptional service to the WIU community. The Town & Gown Award, given annually since 2007, will be presented to an individual who has provided exceptional service to WIU and the community.
Inspired by successful projects like Cows on Parade in Chicago, Western Illinois University Art Professor Bill Howard conceived the idea for Rocky On Parade, a public art project that will feature life-size fiberglass bulldogs decorated by area artists. The sculptures will then be displayed around the community in locations of the sponsors' choice.
"This project celebrates the University's traditions, strengthens the unity of campus and community, contributes to the economic vitality and quality of life in Macomb and supports student scholarships," Howard explained.
After the event, visitors will be able to pick up a map at the Macomb Area Chamber of Commerce and other locations to follow the "dog walk" to view the Rocky sculptures.
Cost to attend Celebrating Town and Gown at The Forum is $20 per person. Register online at www.wiu.com/alumni/.

During their life cycle, plants are exposed to microbes in soil and leaf surfaces that can cause disease and result in crop losses and pathogen spread. Even though chemical treatment and genetic engineering have been successfully applied to combat disease, it is increasingly being recognized that understanding the natural co-evolution of plants with pathogens will provide new leads for pest regulation and, potentially, anticipate evolving pathogen strategies to evade recognition and cause disease. This new perspective requires understanding fundamental questions in the co-evolution between plants and pathogens using a combined genetic and molecular approach, and studying natural populations of plants that may be locally adapted. During the co-evolution with pathogens, plants have evolved mechanisms to distinguish foe from a benign or potentially beneficial microorganism and to induce appropriate defence reactions and anti-microbial molecules.
However, activation of pathogen defence is likely costly for the plant as evidenced in growth defects exhibited by plants with constitutive activation of immune responses. As consequence, a proper balance between growth, reproduction and immune response had to be achieved during evolution, leading to an inducible immune system influenced by environmental fluctuations. The recent discovery of temperature-dependent hybrid incompatibilities in Arabidopsis thaliana allows at identifying genetic components at the intersection between plant immunity and the environment. Studying the molecular and genetic basis for such incompatibilities should provide novel insights into mechanisms underlying temperature regulation of plant immunity and local adaptation shaping genetic variation of immune-related genes.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents arrested a Chauvin man for allegedly resisting arrest and battery to a police officer on April 19 in Terrebonne Parish.
Agents arrested Christopher Duplantis, 30, for resisting arrest, battery to a police officer, misrepresentation of a misdemeanor, injuring public records, no possession of a basic or saltwater fishing license and possession of an undersized black drum. Duplantis was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Jail.
Agents first cited Duplantis in February for possessing an undersized black drum and not having a basic or saltwater fishing license. Duplantis also did not possess any kind of identification and gave agents a false name and address of a friend.
Duplantis' friend showed up for his court date on April 15 to plead that he was falsely accused. His violations were subsequently dropped as agents verified he was not the individual who received the citations. Duplantis' friend then told agents who he thought was the real offender.
Agents went to Duplantis' residence on April 19 and spotted Duplantis on an all-terrain vehicle as they turned down his street. Agents made contact with Duplantis and a brief struggle ensued as Duplantis fled on foot. Agents then found Duplantis hiding under his house and arrested him.
Battery of a police officer, misrepresentation of a misdemeanor, and resisting arrest each bring up to a $500 fine and up to six months in jail. Injuring public records carries up to a $5,000 fine and up to five years in jail.
Fishing without a basic or saltwater license carries a $50 fine and up to 15 days in jail for each offense. Possession of an undersized black drum brings up to a $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail.
Agents participating in the case were Lt. Joseph Arnaud and Senior Agent Nicholas Guillory.

Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M has given his account of why he was forced to leave the Manning Passing Academy early, amid suggestions he had been drinking during his time as a counsellor.
The Heisman Trophy winning quarterback quit the Manning camp - an annual gathering of top-signal callers organised by Eli, Peyton and Archie Manning - in controversial circumstances earlier this week, but has moved to clarify the situation.
''I don't feel like I've done anything that's catastrophic,'' Manziel told reporters at the Southeastern Conference Media Day. ''Of course, I've made my mistakes. It's time to grow up."
He added: ''I was not asked to leave. It was a mutual decision.
'"The speculation of me being too hung over and that's the reason I missed the meetings is absolutely incorrect."
Manziel claims to have overslept after his phone had died, meaning he was unable to set a wake-up alarm, which prevented him from attending a meeting as part of his duties as a counsellor.
The 20-year-old was sharing a dorm with Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, but was not woken by by his roommate.
Manziel, however, intends to return to the Manning camp next summer to work with the campers, while the QB also retains the support of Peyton Manning, despite the issues surrounding his departure this year.
"I enjoyed meeting Johnny," the Broncos quarterback told ESPN. "I can remember a 20-year-old Eli [Manning] missing a meeting [at camp] and catching some flak.
"We always have counsellors who leave early. Johnny was great with the campers for the time he was here. He had to leave early. I wish him the best and I want him to come back as a counsellor next year."

JSTOR an Entitlement For US DoJ's Ortiz & Holder 287
theodp writes "If Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR documents without paying for them, it would presumably be considered a crime by the USDOJ. But if U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz or U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder did the same? Rather than a crime, it would be considered their entitlement, a perk of an elite education that's paid for by their alma maters. Ironically and sadly, that's the kind of inequity Aaron railed against with the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto, a document the DOJ cited as evidence (pdf) that Swartz was a menace to society. On Thursday, Ortiz insisted Swartz — who she now characterizes as 'mentally ill' — received fair and reasonable treatment from the DOJ. But that wasn't good enough for Senator John Cornyn, who on Friday asked Eric Holder to explain the DOJ prosecution of Aaron Swartz." Federal prosecutors have come under heavy criticism for their handling of the Swartz case. Legal scholar Orin Kerr provides counterpoint with two detailed, well-reasoned posts about the case. Kerr says that, as the law stands, the charges against Swartz were "pretty much legit," and that the law itself should be the target of the internet community's angst, rather than the prosecutors. "...blame the system and aim to reform the system; don't think that this was just two or three prosecutors that were doing something unusual. It wasn't." James Boyle, co-founder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, disagrees with Kerr (partly), arguing that Swartz's renown is simply drawing people together to collectively shine a light on poor legislation and poor prosecutorial practices.

La Marque warns residents about arrival of Black Hawk helicopters
Published 2:08 pm, Monday, February 24, 2014
Starting Tuesday, La Marque and Pasadena residents will be getting some extra daytime entertainment with the addition of two Black Hawk helicopters to their skies over the next three days.
According to the City Of La Marque, the U.S. Army will be conducting flight testing this week, from Tuesday until Friday, though they didn't specify what day they would be active.
Chief Randall Aragon with the La Marque Police Department said the choppers will be flying low, but not making any landings. Multi-agency training drills like this are a common occurrence, said Aragon, though residents who don't always get the memo in advance can get frightened.
The army previously conducted drills like this in the past two years but he wanted to get the word out in advance to quell any worries.
"They haven't released when exactly they will be active in the area," said Aragon. "They use our area because it isn't as densely populated as other spots."
Military exercises in downtown areas and residential places present special problems.
In January 2013, a training exercise at the old Carnegie Vanguard High School led many locals to call emergency services for help after hearing gunshots coming from the school. A similar incident happened in Miami's downtown around the same time, which scared the heck out of Floridians for a few hours.
To combat this, Aragon said he made sure to make use of the city's emergency alert systems and sent out thousands of phone messages to residents.
A U.S. Army representative didn't immediately return calls for comment on Monday.

When symptoms suggest cancer, your physician may request/perform any of the following procedures to help positively diagnose it:
a detailed medical history - family and personal
thorough physical examination
pelvic examination of the uterus, vagina, ovaries, bladder, and rectum
Pap test may be requested at the time of pelvic examination
Other diagnostic procedures that may be requested include:
imaging tests, such as:
computed tomography (CT or CAT scan) - a non-invasive procedure that takes cross-sectional images of the brain or other internal organs; to detect any abnormalities that may not show up on an ordinary x-ray. The CT scan may indicate enlarged lymph nodes - a possible sign of a spreading cancer or of an infection.
radionuclide scan - an imaging scan in which a small amount of radioactive substance is injected into the vein. A machine measures levels of radioactivity in certain organs, thereby detecting any abnormal areas or tumors.
ultrasound - an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce an image on a monitor of the abdominal organs, such as the uterus, liver, and kidneys.
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a non-invasive procedure that produces a two-dimensional view of an internal organ or structure, especially the brain and spinal cord. The MRI may show abnormal nodules in bones or lymph nodes - a sign that cancer may be spreading.
endoscopy - use of a very flexible tube with a lens or camera (and a light on the end), which is connected to a computer screen, allowing the physician to see inside the hollow organs, such as the bladder or uterus. Biopsy samples can be taken through the tube.
laboratory tests - to examine blood, urine, other fluids, or tumor tissue
biopsy - to remove a sample of the suspicious tissue for examination in a laboratory by a pathologist
ThinPrep - a Pap Test alternative - Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ThinPrep is a liquid-based procedure in which cells from the cervix are put into a vial of liquid instead of being "smeared" onto a slide. The liquid is then filtered and only the cervical cells are placed onto a slide for examination.
Once the cancer is diagnosed, an evaluation will be made to determine the extent (stage) of the cancer.
