Legendary rock tone you can use with your favorite cab.
This is the one that started it all! The Black Cat's pedigree is well known. The amp of choice for countless arena acts. Huge, chimey 3-D cleans. A sound so delicate yet ferocious when pushed. You have never heard lows like this come from an EL84 amp. The 12AX7 side gives lush sweet and complex mid-range that works from warm punchy cleans through tight crunchy growl. Engage the master volume and get the dirt at any level.
Switch over to the EF86 and get a lesson in why the Black Cat is revered by so many diverse artists. Shimmering cleans that can be pushed lightly to fill the room with ghostly octaves and harmonics. Rev up channel two a little harder and push your sound into Class-A nirvana. Note definition, highs that spray around the hall and a bottom end that never gets loose.
Dual reverb controls and dual masters that can be switched in or out of the circuit, half-power switch, which allows all of the magic to occur at manageable volumes, round out the refinements. Experience why The Black Cat is played by some of the biggest artists on some of the largest stages in the world.

Jolie Holland to release Springtime Can Kill You
Acclaimed singer-songwriter's third album due May 9; Sneak-peek at South-by-Southwest showcase March 17
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Acclaimed singer-songwriter Jolie Holland today announced the May 9, 2006 release of Springtime Can Kill You, her third release for Anti- Records. Following in the steps of her lauded 2003 basement-tapes Catalpa and 2004's studio-debut Escondida, the new album takes Holland's sepia-toned, song noir to a transcendent level.
Springtime's 12 track song-cycle is a crossroads where haunting meets joyful—a voice from the heavens singing stories of the underworld. Holland's songs rise and fall like heavy eyelids and convey the peace of that place between asleep and awake, creating a special place for you to be. There sounds from past and present-tense waltz together to a never-ending melody that flickers between folk, jazz, blues and pop. Holland's lyrics conjure characters and situations one might find in the surrealistic celluloid of Jim Jarmusch. As with all good dreams, there is an anything-goes spirit leading the way. Its this level of bravado that prompted All Music Guide to describe Holland's sound as "a listening experience that is singular, startling, and soulful."
Holland says its the first time she wrote songs specifically for an album and the first time she wrote specifically for a band, she goes on to say, "I even wrote myself out of a few songs, so I could work solely as a singer." To achieve Springtime's lush sound in the studio, Holland and band recorded live to tape for much of the album. To further the environment of spontaneity, she invited an audience of friends to the studio for the tracking of several songs. The album's rich tones swirling through Holland's unique storytelling creates both a departure from reality and a reminder of the beauty humans can create.
When asked about the song-cycle aspect of the album, Holland says that she doesn't want to beat people over the head with the concept of the album, "if you really listen, you will hear the threads of the song-cycle; crazy dreams, moonshine, mockingbirds...springtime can kill you. Its a pilgrim's progress through the horrors of lust...interspersed with songs of true friendship."
Holland will preview tracks from Springtime Can Kill You on March 17 at the Cedar Street Courtyard in Austin, Texas (details below). There will also be two pre-tour warm up shows at Largo in Los Angeles, April 5th and 26th. From there, she plans to tour North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand through 2006 and continue her genre-hopping guest appearances. Last year, she appeared onstage with hip-hop artist Sage Francis and she also sang on several songs for Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin's upcoming solo album. We can only guess what the rest of 2006 holds for this diverse talent.
Springtime Can Kill You track listing:
1. A Crush in the Ghetto 2. Mehitabel's Blues 3. Springtime Can Kill You 4. Crazy Dreams 5. You're Not Satisfied 6. Stubborn Beast 7. Please Don't 8. Moonshiner 9. Ghostly Girl 10. Nothing to do but Dream 11. Adieu False Heart 12. Mexican Blue
South-by-Southwest showcase: Friday, March 17 at the Cedar Street Courtyard. Jolie goes on at 10:30 p.m., following Billy Bragg.

Previous media releases
UBS: Group results to 30 September 1998
Group profit before tax was CHF 3,465 million or 30% lower compared with the consolidated nine-month result for 1997. Due to the adverse impact of various items which are exceptional in nature, net profit after taxes and minorities fell by CHF 911 million in the third quarter to CHF 2,600 million (-32%), resulting in di-luted earnings per share of CHF 12.20. If the international financial markets conti-nue to stabilise as in recent weeks, UBS expects a positive fourth quarter. The re-sult for the full year will nevertheless be below first-half net profit.
Net profit after tax and minorities was influenced by the sale of BSI-Banca della Svizzera Italiana, the provision associated with the global settlement on dormant accounts and World War II issues reached in the United States, losses resulting from UBS's exposure to Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) and revenue reductions on pre-merger equity derivatives positions.
Detailed results from the financial accounts
Operating income decreased 12% to CHF 16, 619 million as compared to September 1997. Net interest income fell 4% to CHF 4,954 million. Increased revenues from volume growth in fixed rate mortgages were offset by the effects of the sales of Prokredit and Au-fina, lower volumes of variable mortgages and lower rates of return on invested equity. Credit loss expenses fell by 54% to CHF 464 million. This is due to the fact that CHF 1,923 million of the total CHF 2,396 million in write-offs and allowances for the nine-month pe-riod were funded through the release of allowances established in earlier periods. CHF 1,537 million of overall write-offs and allowances related to Switzerland. The rest was ap-plied to cover higher counterparty and country risks in Russia, Indonesia, South Korea and Latin America.
Net fee and commission income increased 8% to CHF 9,702 million over the same period in 1997. Accounting for 58% of total revenues, net fee and commission income is UBS's largest earnings component. Income from credit-related fees and commissions decreased by 21% as emerging market exposures were reduced. Brokerage fees fell 6% compared with the equivalent 1997 period while underwriting and other corporate finance fees grew by 12%, mainly due to the fact that the consolidation of Dillon Read only began in Sep-tember 1997. Portfolio management fees (+20%), custodian fees (+18%) and UBS in-vestment fund unit fees (+61%) all showed good growth.
Net trading income fell by 87% to CHF 598 million. Revenues from fixed income trading, which had already deteriorated in the first half of 1998 as trading positions were consoli-dated, were additionally impacted in the third quarter by CHF 790 million of the write-down on UBS's LTCM exposure and marked-to-market losses in emerging markets. Af-fected by the extreme levels of market volatility, income from equities trading during the first nine months of 1998 includes reductions of CHF 1,010 million on equity derivative positions. If the international financial markets continue to stabilise, UBS expects a signifi-cant portion of these non-realised losses to recover.
Other income grew 69% to CHF 1,829 million in the first nine months as compared to the same period in 1997. Eliminating the pre-tax gain of CHF 1,035 million from the sale of BSI-Banca della Svizzera Italiana, other income would have decreased by 27% as a result of the write-down on the LTCM direct investment.
Operating expenses were 5% lower at CHF 13,154 million. Personnel expenses fell 17% to CHF 7,205 million due a drop in headcount and lower levels of performance-linked com-pensation. Since the end of 1997, Group headcount fell by 6,629 to 48,547, partly in con-nection with the sale of subsidiaries. General and administrative expense rose 19% to CHF 4,606 million, with most of the increase due to the CHF 570 million provision set up in the context of the global settlement reached in the United States. At CHF 1,343 million, depreciation and amortization expense was slightly higher (+2.5%) than in the comparable 1997 period. The cost-to-income ratio rose from 69.9% to 77%.
Status of the restructuring provision
Around CHF 2.4 billion of the CHF 7.0 billion merger-related restructuring provision booked in the 1997 financial year was released by the end of September 1998, primarily to cover staff-related payments (mostly outside Switzerland) and the costs of IT integration.
Asset quality
The Group's non-performing loan portfolio was reduced by CHF 1,264 million to CHF 15,400 million compared with the end of 1997. Of this total, CHF 13,569 million were provided for at the end of September 1998, equivalent to a counterparty allowance to non-performing loan ratio of roughly 88%. Of UBS's overall loan book (CHF 352 billion), 4.4% was classified as non-performing.
Results in the five core businesses
UBS Private Banking earned a net profit before tax of CHF 4,165 million in the first nine months of 1998 (110% of 1997's full-year result before tax). This figure includes the gain from the sale of BSI-Banca della Svizzera Italiana. Assets under management at UBS Private Banking rose 2.5% to CHF 587 billion during the reporting period. The drop of CHF 185 billion from the first half 1998 is connected mainly with client transfers of CHF 111 billion assets under management in line with our new client segmentation policy from UBS Private Banking to the Private and Corporate Clients Division. To a much lesser degree, reduced asset values from turbulent third quarter markets also negatively affected assets under management. Eliminating the BSI gain in the first half of 1998 and the impact of client transfers, third quarter operating income in UBS Private Banking was stable compared with the average for the two previous quarters, despite the difficult market conditions. Costs were significantly lower in the third quarter, reflecting the sale of the subsidiaries BSI-Banca della Svizzera Italiana, Adler & Co. AG and Cantrade Banca Privata Lugano SA as well as the client transfers.
The Warburg Dillon Read Division, active in UBS's core investment banking business, ended the first nine months of 1998 with a pre-tax loss of CHF 1,230 million. This result was heavily influenced by the loss of CHF 790 million relating to the LTCM exposure and by CHF 1,010 million from value adjustments on equity derivative positions. The economic collapse in Russia and severe setbacks experienced in emerging markets also took their toll. Unprecedented volatility on the equity markets and the sudden and dramatic widening of spreads on the bond markets adversely impacted the equities and rates businesses. Reve-nues from foreign exchange and corporate finance, on the other hand, developed posi-tively. Costs fell significantly in the third quarter compared with the average of the two previous quarters, reflecting in part the positive effects of integration.
The Private and Corporate Clients Division reported a pre-tax profit of CHF 427 million (342% of 1997's full-year pre-tax result). Revenues, which had already developed well in the first half of 1998, rose strongly in the third quarter while costs grew at a slower rate. This result was influenced, as mentioned, by the transfer of client portfolios from Private Banking to the newly created Investment Clients business area which began operating on 1 July 1998. Assets under management in the Private and Corporate Clients Division rose from CHF 285 billion at the end of 1997 to CHF 416 billion.
UBS Brinson earned a pre-tax profit of CHF 295 million in the first nine months of 1998 (73% of 1997's full-year result). Third-quarter revenues deteriorated somewhat compared to the average of the two preceding quarters, mainly as a result of collapsing share prices on the international equity markets. Assets under management at UBS Brinson grew slightly to CHF 513 billion despite adverse market conditions. Of this total, CHF 353 billion (-4%) were managed for institutional investors and CHF 160 billion (+18%) were in mutual funds.
UBS Capital, which takes medium-term equity stakes in unlisted companies, earned a pre-tax profit of CHF 405 million (106% of 1997's full-year result). The revenues came from divestments made in the first nine months of 1998.
The more stable trend on the financial markets following the interest rate cuts in various countries and the IMF support package for Brazil should contribute to an improvement in operating income in the fourth quarter. At the same time, it seems probable that there will be an increase in the provision relating to the settlement reached in the United States. This means that results for the fourth quarter are likely to be only moderately positive, and pro-fit for the full year will probably fall short of first-half performance.
Zurich/Basel, 17 November 1998

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes (including VAT) that may apply. These are not included in your payment to Etsy, except for Australian customers. Please make sure you understand your country's customs policies and costs prior to ordering.
Beginning July 1, 2018, Etsy will collect GST for Australian customers for orders less than or equal to $1000 AUD.
UK buyers: Royal Mail will send the recipient a gray card listing the customs fees (including VAT) due when it arrives at your local post office. You must pay the customs charges before they will release the package. Contact your local Royal Mail office with any questions regarding this process. Find more info at https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
When will my order ship?
Finished items will ship no later than the next business day after the order is placed.
Custom orders and made-to-order items will ship as soon as they are completed. A time estimate will be provided during the process of creating the custom order listing.
Due to the volume of orders that I am currently processing, I cannot delay shipment of an order beyond the shipping time frame specified for that item. I apologize for the inconvenience.
What if I have entered the wrong mailing address for my order?
If you send me a corrected address before your order is shipped, I can fix the address before printing the shipping label.
Once the package has shipped, I cannot make any corrections to the address. If the package is returned to me due to an incorrect or invalid address being supplied, I will notify you of the return and refund your purchase price. Shipping charges are not refundable since those charges will already have been paid to the US Postal Service. If you wish to re-order the item(s) using a corrected address, you may do so after they are re-listed for sale.
I am not responsible for packages that are mis-delivered due to an incorrect address being supplied by the buyer. Please use care when entering this information!
Which countries do you ship to and which shipping carriers do you use?
In addition to the US, I currently ship to the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. If your country is not on the list, contact me to inquire about the possibility of adding it to the list.
I ship all packages using the US Postal Service (USPS). If a shipment is being delivered outside the USA, the US Postal Service will transfer the package to the national postal system in the country to which it is traveling. (For example, this is Royal Mail in the UK.)
Will my package come with tracking information?
All packages will be shipped with tracking information.
For international orders, tracking is updated while the package is moving within the US, but whether the tracking is updated once it leaves the US varies greatly depending on the procedures of the national postal service of the country to which it is traveling. I have no ability to track or trace a package once it has left the US if your country's national postal service is not updating the tracking information you see here. Contact your country's national postal service with questions about your package after it has left the US.
You must report the non-delivery of a package to me within 120 days of placing the order for a refund to be considered.
Can I send an order to someone else as a gift?
Yes, enter the name and address of the person to whom you would like the gift sent in the shipping address portion of your order.
If the recipient of this gift will be in the UK, please make careful note of the instructions in the first FAQ in this list. It is important to let the recipient of the gift know to expect this gray card and that they will be required to pay these charges in order to receive the package.
Gifts sent to other international destinations may encounter similar customs charges due. Please be sure to research the customs procedures in the country to which you are shipping the gift and notify the recipient, if necessary, about what may be required of them.
What if I have not received my order?
All shipments are shipped with insurance. If you have not received a domestic shipment (USA) after more than 20 days from the date of shipment or an international shipment (outside the USA) after more than 40 days from the date of shipment, please notify me, and I can file an insurance claim to get you a full refund. You will need to verify your lack of receipt to the insurance company using a link I will send you in order to qualify for the refund.
All insurance claims must be filed within 120 days of the shipment to be considered for refunds.
Shipments that are rejected by the recipient or that are returned unclaimed by the national postal service of the country to which it was shipped will receive a refund of the purchase price only.

I accept custom orders in order to design a new piece or modify an existing jewelry item or accessory to better meet your needs, but I do not offer personalization (for example, engraving of initials or messages) of any kind.
To initiate a custom order request, please use the Request Custom Order button in the left sidebar to discuss whether your request is one that I can fulfill.

What's new - Jun 2012
|We've greatly improved how the standard site looks on an iPad, or should that be iPadd :) It's no longer all squashed up and now fits the screen.
|Tool tip references
|We've fixed a little bug which caused the reference tool tips to show off the screen. The now appear below the text as they should.
|Printable pages
|We've now modified the main site so that you can print the pages and not include the top and left menus in the output. We've also adjusted the colours when printed so that they're more legible when printed on white paper. Items that make no sense when printed, such as coloured links, buttons etc will not be included in the printout. The system works for printing to PDF and to real printers.
|We've restored the visitor counter for day, month and year to working order. It was broken when we switched from the frames layout.
|Service History
|The year scales on the service history page have been fixed. They used to wrap onto a second line.
|iPhone Reader
|We've adjusted our pages with tables to work with the iPhone Reader capability.
|Mobile site
|We've made some changes to the mobile site to make it work better.
|Slight tweak
|A slight tweak to the way the site works; after our recent update, clicking on one of the lists on the left brought up a page, but also reset the list to the top. Now you can click a list item and it will just load the page, leaving the list scrolled down to wherever it was.
|Mobile site main menu
|We've changed the link for the 'Other people' to point to the correct list, rather than the personnel one.
|Mobile site
|Fixed an issue that prevented the mobile site from scrolling with inertia (continuing to scroll slowly to a half, if you flicked the page upwards or downwards).
|Cap Comp Honour Role
|We've trimmed the caption comp honour role to only include those who have had a win, rather than anyone with a special mention. Sorry if that takes you off the list but it was getting too long.
|RSS News Feed
|I've fixed the problems with the RSS News feed, it is working again.
|Home page icon
|We've also added a home page icon for iOS devices and any other mobiles that support that standard.
|Cast list
|We've updated the cast list today. You can now filter the list to show actors or roles starting with a given letter.
|Ship size charts
|We've fixed on issue with the ships size comp page that could cause the tool tips to show off the screen.
|New site
|Well we have a new era here at the DITL, what you are looking at is a new version of the site. This version is frameless, which means all the content you are seeing is in one 'window', rather than one for the list, top strip, corner buttons and document body. This new system has a few advantages, first it's more browser friendly than the old system. Secondly, you can now bookmark a page and when you return you are taken back to where you where. It also means that you can print a document quickly and easily.
We've also taken the time to make a few other refinements. Pages like the Additional Ships, Stations, People have been simplified to a gallery format. Clicking the image for an entry takes you to a page for that individual item. The same applies to ship and station internals. Equally, the Season page in the review section has again been simplified to make it snappier.
There's a little more work to do on it but it's completely workable now. I'm also working on improvements to the mobile site. More news as it comes.
|We asked "The TNG episode "The High Ground" controversially mentioned the reunification of Ireland as an example of successful terrorism. Was this a reasonable thing for the writers to do?" and you voted for "Yes, completely reasonable." with a winning score of 144 out of 215 votes (67.0%).

Theses are good news, but where is KDE-2.2.2 ? It was scheduled for last monday (11/19/01), right ?
Anyway, thanks to all the KDE Team

Re: What about KDE-2.2.2 ?
If you are using SuSE they are already available:) Just use Yast or go to www.suse.de/en or their ftp and get em!
Thanks goes to the KDE themes for a great desktop environment and to SuSE for bringing us the good stuff packaged and ready to roll!!

Re: What about KDE-2.2.2 ?
Start yast choose: Package Management (Update, Installation, Queries)->Install packages->Source->FTP
Type in the path for the packages e.g the supplementary directory on the ftp where the KDE2.2.2 packages is. And then you just need to choose the ones you want installed. You should upgrade all of the packages!

Re: pixie and Liquid
well, as he is writing KDE software he is a part of the KDE "team". he just isn't storing his work in KDE's central CVS server or coding in direct coordination with the core developers. and that's fine, as it works much better for everyone involved that way.
there is nothing to prevent you from downloading his apps and using them, or your distribution from including them with their binary packages. if they are popular enough (which they seem to be) and there aren't any legal issues surrounding them (which there doesn't seem to be), i would be quite surprised if at least some distributions didn't create and ship binaries for Mosfet's works.

Now, if we can get back to the *software*... I'm pretty excited about the new Pixie. If you liked the old one this new one is much more usable (the thumbnail browser really rocks), and has a lot of new neat stuff.
By Mosfet at Wed, 2001/11/21 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Hi Mosfet,
Thanks for all your work. My question is:
In summary, what features have you planned
By Magnus Pym at Wed, 2001/11/21 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
There's a ton of stuff. Read the Pixie main page, but it has an extremely fast demand-loaded thumbnail manager (the fastest that I could find), tons of effects, batch editing, and lots of image management features. Heck, the old version had a pretty impressive feature list compared to things like ShowImg...
By Mosfet at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Hmm, I should mention this isn't a slight to ShowImg or any of the other applications... it has some interesting features and competition is always good :) For example, while I always thought Pixie was powerful and had lots of good stuff, many people hated it's interface and prefer things like in ShowImg and GwenView. This caused me to totally rewrite the GUI. So, while I think Pixie is nice and has lots of things users will like, the same could be said about the other people's application's, too... Users will just have to try them out and see what they like, which is a pretty good deal for the users, anyways >:)
By Mosfet at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
So true!
I also liked pixie, but I have become accustomed to
Now that Pixie's getting a GUI like that too, it's great.
One less reason to keep libgtk!
Keep up the good work.
By Bug Powder at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Hey Mosfet,
How does the new Pixie compare to gqview? I found gqview to be amazingly fast with generating and displaying thumbnails, as well as maintaining usability while it's generating thumbnails (which I find handy).
Also, any ETA on the first release? I'd love to check it out! :)
By Jason Tackaberry at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Very good! For reasonable directory sizes (a couple hundred images) it's 1 second or less. It takes 4 1/2 seconds, (4,582ms to be exact), to complete loading a directory of 5,000 image thumbnails. If you got more than that you need to start downloading less Pam Anderson pictures ;-) Most of that time is spent getting and sorting directory information, not loading thumbnails itself.
My system is an AMD450/128M RAM, and the images are on an IDE ReiserFS drive. I'm very happy with it's performance :)
Generating thumbnails is still expensive, but I've improved the smoothscaling operation (it no longer uses Qt's QImage::smoothScale method in some cases). I've looked at this at the majority of time (around 2/3rds) is spent in the file I/O procedures for the various image formats, not in the application's code itself. This applies to libjpeg, libgif, and libpng. Since virtually all applications use these libraries (both GTK and Qt), thumbnail generation will probably end up around the same speed for most image viewers. Konq is an exception because it uses IOSlaves, but even that is pretty intelligent about sharing the image data between the slave and the browser in order to be quick. Konq's main problem is the way it manages updating it's iconview.
By Mosfet at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Looks cool. Can it compare images to find duplicates? :)
By Rakko at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Hehe, I just noticed that's something that ShowImg can do that Pixie can't. Pixie always had a sorting option, "Ascending by size/Same sizes first", that I used to find duplicates - but it didn't actually compare images. It just stuck all the images that were the same size on top. This is a useful feature tho, so I'll add it now. It can be done rather efficently since you don't have to compare every image to every other image. You just have to compare images that are the same size. This is what I'm adding now.
The only problem with this is it will only give you exact matches. But this would mostly be used to compare images downloaded from various websites, which may have scaled the image size differently, placed different web site logos on the image, used different optimization or file format, etc... So you may have the same photo, but it is actually a different size and has different image data. In order to compensate for this you'd have to compare the percentage of red, green, or blue in each image, (or HSV - it really doesn't matter), and have an allowable range of difference for it to match. This is why I never implemented exact duplicate finding before: it's not that useful for me.
This sounds like you'd be stuck comparing each image to every other image again, since you couldn't just compare ones with the same filesize, but that's not true. I occured to me awhile ago that thumbnails are PNG files, and I can encode additional data in the PNG comment field for the thumbnail, (without changing the original comment of course!). So you can encode CRC values for each color channel when generating the thumbnails and then just compare that - not the entire image! This would allow for the "fuzziness" I mentioned above while still relatively fast. Comparing every image to every other one is not acceptable, of course.
By Mosfet at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
Cool... I'm not exactly sure how gqview does comparison, but I believe it's the same as what findimagedupes does. I believe it first generates CRCs or hashes or something (I don't really know anything about that kind of stuff, just buzzwords ;) ), stores them in a database, and then compares the different CRCs to each other, instead of comparing the files themselves. It works pretty well, and can find similar-but-not-exact matches.
By Rakko at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Pixie
If it allows for fuzziness then it's storing CRC values or something similiar somewhere. I really like the idea of sticking it in the thumbnail, tho. It's less efficent than keeping the data in a flatfile, (you have to open each one to load it's comment field), but then you don't have the additional overhead of maintaining a seperate index of items. Since this isn't an operation your likely to do often, I like that approach better, but I may change my mind. I'll take a look and see what it does.
By Mosfet at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am

Hi Mosfet! I love your software, but I hang around at goth- and fetish-clubs every weekend and I don't think your look is very gothic.. It's more what we call the "chock-rock" or "freak" look. At least on that only picture I've seen of you... :)

They should update the site so that Konqueror hits are not counted as Netscape... :)
By scb at Wed, 2001/11/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDEdevelopers.net
I think so to, but it's a bug in PHP-Nuke (has been for a long time). And it's easy to fix. I did so when I played around with PHP-Nuke localy.
Somewhere there is a counter that counts hits, it test if the browser is a Netscape (or Mozilla) browser before it checks if it's a Konqueror. The Konqueror agentstring contians the words "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ...)" so PHP-Nuke thinks it's a Mozilla browser, instead they should move the test if it's Konqueror to before the tist if it's Mozilla... That anoying bug has been there for a long time. In KDE 2.1 you could manualy change the useragent string to whatever you'd like. I changed it to Konqueror/2.1, and it worked wonderful, but that's not possible anymore...
/* Syllten happens to be syllten! */

Konqueror is badly recognized in many stats
It is bad for PHP Nuke and many other stats pages.
By Alain at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Konqueror is badly recognized in many stats
That's not entirely accurate. Konqueror is listed as Mozilla Compatible because otherwise a good number of sites would choke on it. I've seen many a badly designed site that assumed that if you're not using IE or Netscape, then you must be uncapable of using Flash, Javascript, or sometimes even frames!
The bug is in PHP-Nuke's agent string parsing because Konqi lists itself as being Mozilla _compatible_, which is not the same thing as being Mozilla.

Other cool stuff
I found this scp/ssh kio slave very usefull and stable. It doesn't use sftp, but uses a combination of ssh and scp. Fun thing is that it also uses the keys you have loaded in ssh-agent AND it uses your ~/.ssh/config. So browsing your home directory from work at home is as simple as fish://yourbox/ (no password if you have keys and config set up right.

By Fab at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Other cool stuff
Yes, I have to agree. I also think that kio_fish should be included with KDE3, giving the new version a true "killer app".
By matt at Thu, 2001/11/22 - 6:00am
Re: Other cool stuff
kde3 also has a kio_sftp, which is even better :-)
By Kevin Puetz at Fri, 2001/11/23 - 6:00am
Re: Other cool stuff
Yes, kio_fish and kio_sftp are great stuff. Very useful for korganizer.
I tried to get my konqi-bookmarks from a server via kio-slave, but this seems not to work (read: I found no config option to set a path to the bookmark file).
One problem with scp-like transfer: You can't copy links, they are changed to real files. Something like a transparent "tar cfz" -> "scp" -> "tar xfz" on directories with kio_fish would be nice :-)

About Montville
The Township of Montville is a municipal corporation which was established by special charter of the New Jersey State Legislature in 1867. The Township is a suburban community located in the County of Morris in the northwest portion of New Jersey. Montville Township is 20 square miles and comprised of 3 sections: Towaco, Pine Brook and Montville. There are approximately 20,000 residents. Montville is an active, vibrant community providing services, activities and volunteer opportunities in everything from sports and 4th of July celebrations to youth and senior groups.
Township Committee
The Township of Montville is headed by 5 elected officials who constitute the Township Committee (also referred to as the "governing body") which establishes laws and policies for the Township. The Mayor is a member of the Township Committee and is elected annually by the Committee.
Township Administrator
The Township Administrator serves as the chief administrative and executive officer for the organization and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of all municipal departments. There are approximately 100 permanent full-time employees. Additionally, there are dozens of volunteers who serve on various boards, committees and commissions.
Organizations That Server Montville
Separate and autonomous public entities, which serve township residents and businesses, include the Montville Board of Education (Montville Public Schools) and the Montville Free Public Library. The Township is also fortunate to be served by the Montville Township First Aid Squad and the Montville, Pine Brook and Towaco Fire Departments. All of these emergency response organizations are manned entirely by volunteers.
History of Montville Township
The area now known as Montville Township was first settled by Dutch farmers from New Amsterdam (now New York City) in the very early 18th century. Part of New Netherland, the town was originally called "Uyle-Kill" (the Dutch pronunciation of "Owl-Kill"), a name given to the creek and valley, which ran through the area. By the 1740s, the settlement had grown in size and construction of the first road was begun. The early road, now know as Route 202, connected various farms with Montville's first gristmill, sawmill and tanneries.
Military Route
During the Revolutionary War, Montville Township was on a major military route from Morristown to the Hudson River. General George Washington's troops often took this route and Washington stayed in Montville Township (Towaco section) in June 1780. The French troops under the leadership of General Rochambeau also passed through Montville Township on their way to the War's final victory at Yorktown, Virginia. It took them four days as they encompassed 5,000 soldiers, 2,000 horses, 500 oxen, possibly 900 cattle, artillery, boats, followers, etc.
How the Township Got Its Name
Montville was officially named with specific boundaries April 1800. The name came from the Mandeville Inn, which was pronounced Mondeveil by the Dutch. That name was corrupted to Montville. The Montville Inn is located at the site of the pre-Revolutionary War Mandeville Inn.
The construction of the Morris Canal in this area was completed in 1828, bringing commercial navigation to the Montville / Towaco area. The mid-19th century saw the development of two smaller village centers set apart from Montville: Pine Brook, a fertile agricultural area in the Township's southern end, and Towaco, situated on the Morris Canal. In 1867, the Township of Montville was formally chartered from 19 square miles of territory set off from what was part of Pequannock Township.
Growth & Development in Montville Township
In 1962 the Township Committee proudly dedicated the "new" Montville Municipal Building on River Road which housed all municipal operations within the 10,000 square-foot-facility. At this time, the Township was a rural-suburban community of approximately 7,000 residents, with 1,957 homes and 79 farms scattered throughout 19 square miles.
Over the past few decades, Montville was discovered by residential and commercial property developers. Montville's central location in northern New Jersey with ready access to major transportation routes made the Township a popular location. During the '70s and '80s, Montville experienced its greatest growth boom when the population increased by almost 30%. The completion of I-287 made Montville an even more attractive location for residential and commercial development. However, Montville still enjoys a significantly lower population density than Morris County and the State.
Utilities Network
Accompanying this population growth was an expansion of the utilities network in the area. The Montville Municipal Utilities Authority has conducted an aggressive expansion campaign of its water and sanitary sewer systems during the past 10 years, and now services approximately 70% of the residential and commercial properties within the Township.
Recent Developments
During the Township's rapid growth period, the municipal government has also grown to meet the needs and demands of old and new residents. Services have been expanded and facilities have been upgraded and improved.
Symbolic of the transformation of the community, the municipal offices were relocated to the new Municipal Building on Changebridge Road in 1994. This 20,000 square-foot-facility houses most municipal operations.
Public Library
The Township's continuing growth, including residential developments and increased school enrollments, resulted in a need for a new public library facility. A portion of the Montville High School property was donated by the Board of Education for the new facility. In 1995, the Library moved from the old facility of 3,500 square feet with 57,000 volumes to a magnificent new facility of 18,000 square feet capable of holding 150,000 volumes. The meeting rooms in the new Library are in heavy demand for civic association meetings and cultural events sponsored by the Library.
Parks & Open Space
The demand for parks and open space also increased as Montville's population increased. To meet the expanding needs of the community, Montville utilized the 84-acre Community Center tract to construct four competition-grade, lighted athletic fields and basketball courts, upgrade the community gardens available as gardening/farming space for residents, install an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and performances and construct a full time Youth Center that opened to the public in 2003.
In 1989, Montville residents voted overwhelmingly for a dedicated open space tax. The tax has been increased twice since and is now one of the highest open space taxes in New Jersey. The strong public support for municipal acquisition of open spaces reflects the public's recognition that there are intense development pressures on the 2,000 remaining acres of vacant land in the Township and that open spaces must be acquired now or forever be lost to development.
The Township has utilized Open Space Trust funds to purchase over 1033 acres of open space. Morris County has acquired an additional 535 acres within the Montville borders. These areas include miles of walking/hiking trails, waterfalls and mountaintop views of Montville and the New York City skyline.
Today, Montville is a suburban community within the New York metropolitan area with a full range of municipal services, an excellent public school system and a model public library. Montville's housing stock currently consists of 764 multi-family rental units, 1,703 condominiums and townhouses, 4,932 single-family homes, 59 two-family homes and 18 farmhouses.
While able to meet the expanding needs of residents, the Township has also followed a prudent financial plan, which has resulted in a constant level of debt. In 1998, the entire Township was revalued to more equitably distribute the tax burden between old and new homes and commercial, residential and vacant properties.
As Montville Township's population has increased, the demands for services, facilities and infrastructure improvements have also increased. In keeping with these demands, the Township has undertaken many new projects and continues to respond to the public demand for additional facilities.
Senior House
The Senior House, located on Route 202, was renovated and expanded in 2002. Programs and services were significantly expanded under the direction of a full-time Social Services Director. The Morris County Nutrition Program operates out of the Montville Senior House twice weekly, serving an average of 133 meals on site and delivering, on average, 55 Meals on Wheels out of the Senior House kitchen. The Senior House is open almost every weekday. Activities include exercise programs, dance instruction, arts and crafts, special lectures particularly regarding health, safety and medical care, gaming (bingo, poker, mah-jongg, etc.), birthday breakfasts, special celebrations of New Year's, Chinese New Year's, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, etc.
Public Safety Building
The new Public Safety Building, located on Route 202, was opened in 2003. It houses the 24-7 Police Department and the Municipal Court in a state-of-the-art facility. Also in 2003, the Township dedicated the new Youth Center, located in Community Park on Changebridge Road. The Youth Center includes comfortable seating areas, a ping-pong table, billiards table, computers and TV. This new facility provides unstructured drop-in sessions and special events.
New Jersey Transit
As part of its Mid-Town Direct expansion program, New Jersey Transit, with supplemental funding from the Township of Montville, renovated the Towaco Train Station using a unique design hearkening back to the early 1900s. This renovation has spurred additional improvements in Towaco and serves as a guide to redevelopment of the Towaco business district. Commuters may now go from Towaco to mid-town Manhattan via a transfer in Montclair rather than transferring to the PATH in Hoboken.

Mrs. Snob: "My cleaning woman left me. Just left me. I've had the same cleaning woman for 10 years. So on Sunday I had to clean the whole damn house myself. And I wrenched my back. I've always had a bad back, that's why I have a cleaning woman. Then, yesterday, my husband and I were at a funeral, and there was no place to sit. You'd think they could have chairs or something. And standing for the whole thing made my back even worse."
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm sorry to hear that. Was it a relative's funeral?"
Mrs. Snob: "No, it was the cleaning woman's."
I was surprised she even went.

When Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman recently reversed his stance on gay marriage after his son came out as gay, he joined a tidal wave of Americans who have altered their views on the subject.
This dramatic change forms the backdrop to two Supreme Court cases this week about the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. Support has reverberated at the highest level: The White House has urged the high court to come down in favor of gay rights, and President Obama has reversed his own stance on the issue.
"There's just been a real huge sea change in how people view gay marriage," says Dawn Michelle Baunach, a sociologist at Georgia State University who has tracked attitudes toward same-sex marriage over the past two decades.
"In 1988, we had 72 percent of people who said they disapproved of gay marriage, and only 13 percent approved. But by 2010, we had cut disapproval almost in half, and approval has quadrupled," she says.
The latest public opinion surveys show an even greater jump. About one-third of Americans now oppose gay marriage, while some 58 percent support it.
Baunach notes that there has been an acceleration in how quickly opinions about same-sex marriage changed after 2008. She says that for many Americans, gay marriage was no longer an abstract issue, but a personal issue that touches the life of someone they know.
"They can think about it on a more personal level," she says. "Instead of just reacting on a more, 'Oh, that doesn't seem right' [level], they [think], 'Well, you know, Jane is a great person, I like her, I've met her girlfriend and it seems perfectly reasonable that they should be able to get married.' "
Baunach's research suggests that the dramatic shift in attitudes is not because of what sociologists would call "generational change." It has long been known that older people are more likely than younger people to oppose gay marriage. But Baunach says the national change was less about older Americans dying and leaving behind a more liberal America, and more about the fact that many Americans who once opposed gay marriage have changed their minds or softened their opposition.
Support for gay marriage two decades ago was largely restricted to secular and highly educated urban dwellers. Increasingly, though, Baunach says, rural people, those with less education, and even religious people were showing signs of support. Opposition among Republicans, evangelicals and African-Americans, however, remains strong.
Another explanation for the change is that the institution of marriage among heterosexuals has been undergoing a substantial transition, Baunach says.
Many Americans are redefining their intimate relationships in nontraditional ways, she says. Revised views on gay marriage could be related to steadily changing perspectives toward sexuality over the past several decades.
Yet another explanation might have to do with the way the issue of gay rights has come to be framed as an individual rights issue, Baunach says. Other research suggests that Americans resonate with messages that highlight the importance of individual liberty.
Baunach predicts that if current trends continue, the country will soon look like a mirror image of itself from a quarter-century ago: A minority of Americans may be left opposing same-sex marriage, while an overwhelming majority support it.
But she also notes that such a trend is hardly irreversible: While minorities of Americans appear to be fervently for and fervently against gay marriage — and can reliably be expected to stick to their views — a substantial bloc of Americans appear to have views that are open to persuasion.
As the Supreme Court prepares this week to hear two cases testing the constitutionality of gay marriage, there's one undeniable fact surrounding the debate: Americans' views on gay marriage are changing dramatically. Steve Inskeep explored why with NPR's Shankar Vedantam, who joins us regularly to talk about social science research.
Hi, Shankar.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Good morning, Steve.
INSKEEP: Okay. It feels like gay marriage views in America have changed very, very quickly. Is that reality?
VEDANTAM: You know, for many people this has become the defining civil rights struggle of our time and the speed really has been staggering, Steve. And what's remarkable is how widely it's effected change across the country. People who were vehemently opposed to gay marriage 20 years ago might now be only mildly opposed to gay marriage. People who were mildly opposed are now neutral.
People who were neutral are now pro-gay marriage. You know, 20 years ago, support for gay marriage was largely concentrated amongst secular, highly educated urban Americans, and now, you know, there's change. It's not universal, but you see pockets of support for gay marriage in rural areas, among older Americans, and even among religious Americans.
I spoke with Dawn Michelle Baunach. She's a sociologist at Georgia State University. She's been studying trends in attitudes toward gay marriage over the last 20 years. Here's what she told me.
DAWN MICHELLE BAUNACH: There's just been a real huge sea change in how people view gay marriage. In 1988, we had 72 percent of people who said they disapproved of gay marriage, and only 13 percent approved. But by 2010 we had cut disapproval almost in half, and approval has quadrupled.
INSKEEP: Quadrupled. So only 13 percent favored gay marriage. Double that, triple that, quadruple that, that's more than 50 percent. I know that polls move around a little bit, but more than 50 percent in many surveys are supporting gay marriage now. A number of people are still opposing it at the same time, though.
VEDANTAM: Yeah, Steve. And one of the striking things that Baunach has found is that the speed of change in attitudes toward gay marriage seems to be accelerating. So starting around 2008, the balance seems to have really tipped. Instead of a small minority being for gay marriage and everyone else being against it, we seem to be rapidly heading to a situation where you have a core group that's against gay marriage and everyone else is for it.
INSKEEP: So what explains the change?
VEDANTAM: Well, you know, there are lots of possible explanations. You know, the gay rights movement has systematically championed the language of individual rights and you and I talked last week, Steve, about how it appeals to individual liberty, appeals to Americans. Another possibility is that the institution of marriage among heterosexuals is under significant change as well. So lots of heterosexuals are defining relationships in nontraditional ways, and so gay marriage might be part of this larger evolution in our views on sexuality.
Dawn Michelle Baunach pointed out something really interesting to me. She said, for a long time most Americans were not so much opposed to gay marriage as simply unaware of the issues. And as gay people have started to come out of the closet, it's changed the views of many Americans.
BAUNACH: They can think about it on a more personal level. Instead of just reacting on a more, oh, that doesn't seem right, they act, well, you know, Jane is a great person, I like her. I've met her girlfriend and it seems perfectly reasonable that they should be able to get married.
INSKEEP: You know, this is reminding me, Shankar Vedantam, of the story of Senator Rob Portman, a Republican of Ohio who said in recent days that he is now in favor of gay marriage after learning that one of his sons is gay. Some people criticized him and said, why did you have to wait until a family member was affected? But my first thought was, isn't that kind of what's happened to about half of America here?
VEDANTAM: Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think Senator Portman's conversion is actually interesting for another reason. The gay rights movement has obviously faced significant obstacles and prejudice over the last 20 years, but they've also had an advantage that some other marginalized groups have not had. Lots of kids of senators and CEOs and newspaper editors are gay.
You know, lots of movie stars and authors and philanthropists are gay, so one reason for the speed of change is it's possible that this group has really shown the way on how you organize around an issue and how you fight. There's one other thing that I found really interesting about Baunach's research. There's always been a core group for gay marriage and it looks like there'll always be a core group that's against gay marriage.
But there's a sizable number of Americans in the middle whose views are really not strongly attached to one side or the other. When they believed that most Americans were against gay marriage, they were against gay marriage. When they believed most Americans were for gay marriage, magically their views changed.
INSKEEP: Shankar, thanks.
VEDANTAM: Thank you, Steve. That's NPR's Shankar Vedantam. You can follow him on Twitter @HiddenBrain. You can also follow this program @MorningEdition and @NPRInskeep. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
