|Topic Review (Newest First)
|As has already been discussed at length in the other thread everyone is blaming the oil companies (yes they ARE guilty but not of causing the problem), politicians (they partially share the guilt also for price gouging), and even the President but the real problem is in our driveways! Fellas think about it, thirty five years ago there was only a fraction of the traffic on our roads as there is today, twenty five years ago it was still a lot lighter than now and even ten years ago it was noticeably less than today in a lot of places, and look at how much of this growth is gas guzzling 4X4s and SUVs. The point being it has reached the point where something has to give, the number of vehicles on the road is growing at an explosive rate and it HAS to stop, something MUST CHANGE! We can not just keep on building more and bigger roads to support all these new vehicles because even though price gouging is a fact it is also a fact that at this rate of vehicle growth the oil supply WILL run out for real before long. Look at all the traffic on the highways, at any intersection and in mall parking lots and then think how many times that is multiplied all across the country! What is it going to be like in ten more years if we keep on as doing as we are now? Now add to that the explosive growth rate in traffic in countries such as Chine and India and ask WHERE THE HELL IS THAT OIL SUPPOSED TO COME FROM? Oil shortage right now? Probably not as bad as the oil companies would have you believe but unless we change our way of thinking it will be very real before long at all. Drill for more oil here? You bet and the sooner the better BUT this must be done along with a massive conservation program to help wean us off this massive wasting of oil like we are doing today otherwise we are headed for disaster. All that oil we could drill for will not last forever even at todays usage rates and if we tried to use all domestic oil and continue the growth rate of traffic as it is today that supply would not last long at all. Depending on foreign oil is like playing Russian roulette since it could disappear at any time and our economy would fall into shambles but what will it be like if we continue on as we are? There is an answer, CONSERVE what we have and definitely drill for the oil we have but don't waste it! All those big 3 ton sleds on the roads hauling one or two people to the grocery store or that big 4x4 hauling one person to work on dry pavement is the real problem whether we will admit it or not. The oil companies are guilty of price gouging that is for sure but they are only taking advantage of the situation they are not causing it, we are by buying every drop of gas they produce at whatever price they ask! "But we have to buy it" is the usual response when someone is told that, well that's true but we do NOT have to buy as much as we do! We are not FORCED to drive a 3 ton 12 MPG vehicle and just changing what we drive would take us off our foreign oil dependency without drilling for another drop of new oil for many years. Unfortunately higher prices is the only thing that will make most people take notice and is the only thing that is going to help stop this enormous waste of our oil supply and cheaper prices would only make it worse. If prices are forced down through political means then we would just continue to buy those big gas guzzlers and waste our oil at an ever increasing rate until the supply, for real, could no longer sustain the demand and then we would be in deep trouble. If you think fuel is a problem now just wait until the shortage is real and we have even more cars on the road!
Hay some of the folks here are all over it, reading some good stuff here, well said, glad to read the comments.
I am with you about driving and enjoying the hotrod. My car will only run right on high test, no problem I fill it and go out and not think twice about the price. The cell is 22 gal and I add the 104 octane boost so if someone is into numbers you can see I pay a bit more to enjoy the ride.
It is worth it to me and puts a big fat smile on my puss, as the car shakes waiting for the green, they really roar with good hot fuel. But as any other right minded person knows 5 bucks is annoying and makes the case for some new oil rigs.
I am the pennzoil man at hart, referring to the commercial with the guys heart pumping as he rides down the road... forget music the power plant plays the tune I like to here as I challenge the highway.
|Heard some real interesting discussion on this same issue recently {about 1-2 weeks ago} on the "Rick and Bubba" syndicated radio show. One VERY INTERESTING point mentioned was the profits/cost-ratio on the production side versus the refining side. Seems many domestic oilfields have been mothballed for years until crude oil market prices surpassed the production costs to bring said crude to market,and now that the market prices have gotten so high-many of these same oil companies will sell themselves oil that cost $25-45/barrel to produce, at the present market pricing of what foreign produced oil is at $120-140/barrel-THUS GUARANTEEING THEMSELVES A HUGE PROFIT on at least a portion of one side of the equation. Thus the low profit margins said oil companies are stating on the "refining side" cannot really be looked at as anything but smoke and mirrors. Costs of producing from a field developed 20-30 years ago (but then mothballed) were a "planned amount" that could, in some cases, be MUCH lower than costs to produce from more recently developed fields. So when the oil companies are telling you their reasons for high fuel prices being so much tied to present day crudeoil market prices, this is not necessarily the whole truth. Good chance that perhaps 30-40% or more of their crude obtained for refining was obtained from themselves after already making a hefty markup on reselling to themselves. I guess we gotta pay their executive multi-million dollar bonus somehow! {Having made several trips from n/central Alabama to n/e Illinois over the last 4 years, I can tell you I see a lot more of the pump rigs running in Southern Illinois recently than I had on previous trips 12-24 months ago}. Might be possible to look it up on their website www.rickandbubba.com . For those unfamiliar, they're some very entertaining,but yet very informed "good ole boys" down here in dixie, whom have national syndication on many radio stations. (PS;I mean REAL radio,not sattellite)
let's see, the oil corporations make just under 9 cents on the dollar (9%)
the government collects between 46 and 68 cents per gallon of gas (federal, state and local). Thats 11.5 cents minimum at 4 bucks a gallon.
there is talk by the government of a "windfall profits tax" that would be charged on the oil company profits (the 9 cents), and if that were to happen, it will get passed onto the consumer.
as for the "speculators", what is being talked about is the commidities futures markets. This is essentially betting on what a future price will be, wether it's Oil, corn, soybeans, wheat.... the money in questions comes from hedge funds and large corporations that use the market to even out material costs. Southwest a year and two ago was buying oil futures at 110 to 120 a barrel. this allowed them to offset the rising cost of jet fuel which saved their clients while helping them make a profit.
current land leases to oil corporations equal only 6% of land in the US and 8% of land in the oceans owned / controlled by the government. of them, manny are just not long enough of a term to allow the corpoations to re-coup the monies to explore and drill for the oil.....
Corn prices today and the futures prices are rising, in part to a government mandate of corn to be used to produce ethanol... and farmers in this great free market economy have been switchin some of their crops from soybeans to corn resulting in rising soybean prices....
with all that said, I believe that we need to explore all alternative options while pursuing getting it from offshore and shale
meanwhile I'm still looking for a daily driver from the 80's and havent decided on a model but I am checking the gas EPA estimates on my potentials....
you know, my car is too fun to drive to leave parked. I don't like the gas prices, but goddammit, i'm gonna pay them, with a smile on my face. I built my car to go fast and I knew going into it that I was going to be spending a LOT of time at the gas station. so **** it. if the prices go down, it will be a relief to my wallet. if they go up, I might sell my car to some rich **** that can afford to put fuel in her, and pay me to fix her when he drives 10000 miles without ever peeking under the hood.
That's how I feel.
|To many people on this earth. Its as simple as that. Stop whining and Stop reproducing. How dare I!
The American dream has become a tool used to make the tea-sippers our masters. It's worked pretty well so far.
It's like voting for the giant ****** or the turd sandwich(Southpark, lol).
What can we actually do?
So...What you are saying, it is not the corporations, but the government screwing us?
And, those corporations don't control the doings of that government, through political donations etc?
Yeah right.............
Take it any way you like, big business making a profit is fine, but when they are making mega dollars profit at the expense of the little guy (us)....that is wrong. Prices have doubled and tripled over the last few years, so have their profits......wages have not.
Banking and insurance are two more examples...................
We the USA are a free market economy , the evil corporations that you wish to demonize are the very people that bring the goods, invest in discovery and innovation, and as a side line provide JOBs to the great unwashed. I like big corporations because they are responsible for the great lives we live in the good old USA. If it where not for the big corporations you would not have the car you love to build. Where do you think you would be buying parts for you hobby, Joe's junk yard?
Blaming the big corporations as an evil is nothing more then a worn out statement that has NO truth to it. There are more good corporations in the USA then not. You need to quit watching TV and regurgitating their phony philosophy.
The government can not do a good job, they just acerbate any problems and seem to solve nothing.
Give me the free market any day and all day, hope I did not hurt your feelings. But we need to drop the bumper sticker conversations and actually consider the facts and solve the problems at hand.
Am I to serious here ?........................ guilty, but we really need to wake up in this country.
Quote: if they had real jobs, with realistic salaries, they would be singing a different tune.
We keep putting them back into office so who really is to blame here? These brainless people are not annotated and can be removed, so what is up America?
The only thing driving up the prices is corporate and government greed........
No matter what we do, we are going to pay for it......Not saying not to do anything, but until we take back our countries, we are over a barrel........a pricey barrel (of oil)
|Isn't the lack of refineries part of what's driving the cost up?
|Increasing the supply of oil _should_ drive the price down, but the real issue is how oil (and other commodities) is traded. The speculators are the ones that have driven the price up... not a shortage at all. The rules of supply and demand don't always apply in situations like this. The price of oil goes up on the mere rumor of the price going up.

|Full Size Image
Mars rovers appear to be shrinking with age! The biggest, baddest, newest rover being built is the Mars Science Laboratory rover (right). It's the size of a small sport-utility vehicle. Still exploring Mars four years after landing are the dune-buggy-sized rovers Spirit and Opportunity (left). The first-generation rover, Sojourner, is the size of a microwave oven.
Why are the rovers getting bigger? The answer is one word: science. The mass and volume of science instruments -- tools the rovers use to study the Martian surface and environment -- have remained fairly constant at about 10 percent. To determine if Mars ever could have supported life, the Mars Science Laboratory rover will travel farther, carry more instruments, and sample more rocks and soils than ever before. Like a car with more gizmos, the newest robotic beast has to evolve to carry all the gear!

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Jake Owen
Ambitious but inexperienced, with good looks and a smooth baritone, Owen was soon to be found playing country covers in campus bars for free beer and a few bucks. Growing tired of covers, he began penning his own songs, which were met with a positive response. This motivated him even more to follow his new dream of becoming a singer, eventually causing him to skip out on his remaining college classes -- only nine credit hours remained on his English and political science degree -- and head to Nashville. He constantly wrote songs in his Bellevue apartment, and a chance lunch meeting found producer Jimmy Ritchey (Clay Walker, Mark Chesnutt) befriending the young musician. For over a year, the two wrote songs together, including a track called "Ghost" (also co-written by Chuck Jones) that Kenny Chesney almost wound up recording -- the track would later be included on Owen's own album.
Eventually, his friendship with Ritchey led to a meeting with Sony/BMG Nashville and resulted in a record contract for the determined 24-year-old, who already had his album basically finished. His debut, Startin' with Me, appeared in summer 2006 on RCA, spearheaded by the single "Yee Haw." As the song climbed higher in the charts, Owen supported the record on the road by opening for Kenny Chesney. In 2007, the title track ballad became the album's second single, reaching number six and spending a whopping 35-plus weeks on the Billboard country chart. "Don't Think I Can't Love You" appeared in the summer of 2008, heralding the release of his second full-length, Easy Does It, in February of 2009. Easy Does It spawned a number two hit in "Don't Think I Can't Love You," and "Eight Second Ride" peaked at number 11 in early 2010.
He delivered his third album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, in the summer of 2011. Barefoot Blue Jean Night was his biggest hit to date, launching number one country singles in its title track and "Alone with You." As the summer of 2012 wound to its end, he released the Endless Summer EP; the collection of four new songs came out that September. Owen returned in December of 2013 with his fourth studio album, the Joey Moi-produced Days of Gold; it was preceded by its title track lead single, which only reached 19 on the charts. The album's next single, "Beachin'," did much better, reaching number one on Billboard's country chart and earning a platinum certification; "What We Ain't Got" closed out the album's cycle by making it to 19.
Owen started to unveil new material in the summer of 2015 with "Real Life," a single that went to 17 on Billboard. This single didn't appear on Owen's fifth full-length album but his next single, "American Country Love Song," came out in early 2016 and provided the anchor for American Love, which arrived in July of that year. ~ Corey Apar

Mijares-Terrazas Press Conference in Mexico City
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Photos: Alma Montiel
Former WBC world champion Cristian "Diamante" Mijares and top contender Victor "Vikingo" Terrazas both sounded confident at Thursday's press conference in Mexico City in advance of Saturday's showdown for the vacant WBC super bantamweight title at the New Mexico City Arena. The card is presented by Zanfer Promotions and broadcast on UniMas and TV Azteca.
Mijares: "I know that I have an advantage in terms of my experience. I'm happy to have the possibility of being champion again, but I'm facing a fighter who will bring it and wants to win, so it'll be a war for both of us and the best man will win,"
Terrazas: "As Cristian already said, it'll be a war, but this is my time. I've overcome a lot to be able to fight for a world title and now that I have that opportunity I'm going to make my dream come true. He has his qualities, but I have mine."
The undercard is absolutely leaded with Top Rank middleweight Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramírez (24-0, 19 KOs) against Dionisio Miranda (22-8-2, 19 KOs), plus a trio of boricuas including former world Juan Manuel "Juanma" López (32-2, 29 KOs), Jonathan 'Bomba' González (12-0-1, 11 KOs) and McJoe Arroyo (14-1, 12 KOs) in action in separate bouts.

green tripe The Stink On Tripe | Dogs Naturally Magazine
check your local raw food resellers in the area that you live in .
they should have the variety that you are after .
raw tripe , frozen should be available in cubes or deli-containers at select pet food stores.
think about the quality of what you are feeding . A "tripe" from a feed lot beef , especially one that has been finished (grained) for a final burst of weight gain , is not the same as a pasture fed organically raised source . Of course you look at hormone and anti biotic free meat source .
there are other ways to introduce digestive enzymes and probiotics
there are other ways to provide the vitamins you would with liver and such .
health | Oberhund
I don't think that heart is considered an organ meat because I believe it falls under as a muscle. Green tripe is good for them, I believe that you can feed it to them maybe every other day or just mix it in with other meats but be careful on the amount you give them. I am not sure about the green tripe from a can though and how much you can feed them with that! But, if it's just green tripe then I assume that you can just feed it to them as I said.
This information I'm giving you is from what I have read and researched about raw feeding!
Organ alternatives
I am having a time finding organ meat where I live, especially since my dog can't have chicken (otherwise we'd be gold. Anyone live in SE WA and want a bunch of freezer-burned chicken parts?). Beef liver is easy to come by, but the store that had other things like kidney and sweatbread stopped carrying it. So I am wondering what nutrients could be missing from Gypsy's diet if we only have beef liver and heart to feed. I checked what nutrients other organ meats are supposed to have, and it looks like we could get away with feeding more eggs and fish and it would be fine. She currently gets a raw egg twice a week and 9 oz of mackerel chubs once a week. But I am not an expert at this...so...What do? I am not opposed to feeding supplements or veggies if that's what we need to do.
Her current diet is 2 oz liver, 12 oz raw meaty bones, 20 oz muscle meat per day. Mix of pork, beef, lamb, moose, and turkey. Plus eggs and fish twice a week. We also add salmon oil.
Also they have this canned green tripe at Petco. Is that any good? How often should I feed it if it is?
When the farmer's market starts I will be making the rounds asking for offal. So far I have not had any luck contacting local meat processors and ethnic food stores.

Comparison of overlapping numbers
I ahve a list of transmission start times and a known transmission
length. I want to finc out how many of the transmissions overlap one
another. Can anyone think of a quick way to do this. Brute force is very
slow. By brute force I mean comparing the start time of each start time to
evry other start time to see if they are within the transmission time.
I've been trying to figure out a MMA algorithm that would be analogous to
plotting all of the transmit times and counting the overlaps but I'm not
sure how to do this. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Cross-channel attribution. For customer insights and marketing practitioners, attribution is a white hot measurement topic. It's viewed as the best way to measure effectiveness of marketing and media campaigns; a way for firms to assess…truly assess… the value of the customer journey. For the past 18 months, I have been living and breathing this topic and today I am happy….no, I'm elated…to announce the official publication of the Cross-Channel Attribution Playbook.
What's a playbook, you ask? Well, a playbook is a framework to help organizations develop expertise around a specific business topic. The Cross-Channel Attribution Playbook helps marketers and customer insights professionals to take strategic steps in building an attribution strategy within their organization. It includes 12 chapters, including an executive overview, which covers different aspects of developing and managing a cross-channel attribution measurement framework. The four "chapters" specifically help organizations:

Pastor on wearing Dress Blue uniform: 'It was not out of disrespect'
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - An Onslow County pastor said he did not mean to offend Marines when he posted photos of him wearing a Dress Blue uniform.
Pastor Michael Claiborne, of New Rivers Ministries on Marine Boulevard in Jacksonville, had posted photos on his church's Facebook page of him wearing a Dress Blue uniform he got from a thrift store. But the photos caused an uproar among the military community, who said Claiborne was disrespecting the Marine Corps.
Claiborne, a civilian with no ties to the Marine Corps, told NewsChannel 12 he did not intend to offend anyone.
"It was not out of disrespect. I have military in my church," Claiborne said.
Claiborne added that he supports the military, and has participated in 9/11 events honoring service members.
But Marine Sgt. Anthony Ortiz said Dress Blues are only worn on special occasions, like weddings, funerals and important ceremonies.
"It's definitely something that draws a lot of emotion because there are a lot of people that, you know, your friends who get blown up, lose a hand, lose an arm, lose their life-- and Dress Blues along with all the other uniforms, I mean, that's our uniform," said Sgt. Ortiz.
Claiborne has since taken the photos down after being urged by the military community.
"Please cease and desist immediately the desecration of the United States Marine Corps dress uniform," Joel Kaplan posted on Claiborne's Facebook page. "It is a federal crime to impersonate a member of the United States military and you should be charged.... As a united States Army veteran, I hereby ORDER you you to remove the uniform of my brothers."
"Your photo desecrates my beloved U.S.M.C. From your perspective, that might have not been your intention... But that blouse you sport --accompanied with the religious relic and hat-- burns to the bones and soul of very man and woman who served," posted Robert Mark. "It would be like taking a priest cloth and sporting it like it was a scarf, waist satchel or bandana."
Claiborne's wife, Lisa, told NewsChannel 12 that in addition to the comments, she and her husband have been getting death threats as well.
But Sgt. Ortiz said those negative comments are not what Marines are all about.
"We need to be bigger than that," Ortiz said. "We are United States Marines, and we have to live at a different standard."
Lisa added that military uniforms like Dress Blues are widely available.
"You can go to any garage sale. You can go to any pawn shop. You can go to any thrift shop. You can go to anywhere in the United States and purchase-- any cleaners-- and purchase it," Lisa said.

This year, sales of neon bright, snowy white, gold and pre-lit fake firs have taken off, as stores have twigged on to the fact that we all secretly pine for no fuss, no mess, so long as it's unashamedly artificial and isn't pretending to be the real deal.
Green plastic imitations are naff but John Lewis, which is selling no fewer than 27 varieties, has had a soaraway success with its white Bonsai. The gnarled white resin dwarf tree is sold online with the pitch that it will add "Eastern promise to your Christmas". Original, certainly.
If stark white is your thing, it's also worth checking out Cox and Cox's magical paper tree, so pared-back that you won't dare let a bauble within a mile of it, or Next Home's pre-lit Snowy tree, available in several sizes, which comes with a blissful dusting of fake snow and pre-fitted with hundreds of LED lights.
Stewart Walton, at The Hastings and Bexhill Wood Recycling Project, has come up with another winner — turning unwanted wood into funky wooden trees and painting them using recycled paint. He claims to have a commission to make next year's for Downing Street and will colour and build to order, charging by the metre. The gold award goes to M&S for its Gold fabric leaf tree, glittering yet almost tasteful, while the urban sophisticate will relish the elegant, space-saving lit cone from Next Home.

Wednesday 24th November 2010
Braga is a quiet place. In fact over the 18 years I have followed us around Europe I'm not sure I've visited anywhere quieter! Couple that with last night's performance and result and it has created one of those rare occasions football-wise where I would rather be back home right now.
Our original plans had us returning today, however a Portuguese general strike sees us here for another 24 hours and gives us more time to reflect on a disappointing performance to say the very least.
So, what does one get up to for a couple of days in a town that is basically shut?! Fortunately we have found a couple of very good tapas bars and restaurants and they have proved more than hospitable so all in all it hasn't been that bad.
Yesterday's matchday build-up saw the usual main square scene of the majority of travelling Gooners enjoying the local fare and after Saturday's disappointment I think we were all confident of a positive response.
Entering Braga's unique stadium, our optimism was to prove grossly inaccurate.
Of course things could and probably would have been different had we been awarded a ridiculously blatant penalty but this doesn't hide the fact we were poor on the night.
Consequently we have gone from Champions League perfection to needing a result in our last game to qualify, a situation that certainly didn't look likely a month or so back.
Our sixth defeat this season before the end of November, definitely something we are not used to.
The only good news to come out of that situation is we are definitely still well in the hunt on all fronts.
That continues with the always tough trip to Villa Park on Saturday.
Before that, we have one more night to 'enjoy' in Portugal. Apparently Wednesday is a big night according to the locals. Just how big remains to be seen!

Being the hunter that comes home with a kill every time is the hunter with skill and expertise. Many people assume successful hunters have been out hunting for many seasons to become good at it. While years of experience does count, you should know there are some basic tips you can follow that will help you easily bag your targets. Follow these tree stand hunting tips & tricks for a successful hunt.
Even though you may be high up in the trees in a tree stand while hunting, you should still take care to mask your human scent. Deer and other animals have a keen sense of smell, meaning you could give your presence away even while sitting still in the treetops. Always wash with unscented soap before you leave to go hunting and use a scent masking product. Be sure to also spray your gear with scent masking as well.
Getting Out Of The Wind
Using a tree stand blind is important for more than just blocking you from the wind. Camouflaged blinds can also provide you with the concealment necessary to hide from the sharp eyes of deer. One slight movement while in a tree stand in the open could spook a deer, thus causing the herd in that area to make a run for it as well. Using a blind while in a stand can allow you to remain hidden and safe from cold winds.
Focus On Tactics For Being Stealthy
Going into the woods should be as important to you as climbing up a tree and assembling your tree stand when it comes to being quiet. Avoid wearing loose clothing that can snag on briars or tree limbs and be sure to always secure your gear before going in the woods. Choosing a tree stand with sound deadening features such as the Summit Goliath climbing stand, can also help you avoid metal echoes while in the trees as well.
Packing Snacks And Beverages In Quiet Containers
One way to frighten a deer off is by opening a pack of cheese crackers while sitting in your tree stand. Packing snacks in folded paper towels or napkins is best to avoid making crumpling sounds with plastic wrappers. One way to avoid having to deal with too many snacks while in your tree stand is to eat a good meal before going into the woods. If you enjoy soda, remember the hissing sound fresh bottles of it make upon opening them. Taking along bottles of water or juice is best. You might also consider packing coffee into thermos for helping you stay alert and warmer.
Tree Stand Maintenance Is Important To Remember
Taking the time to inspect your tree stand before putting it in a tree is extremely important. This is especially true about the safety harnesses that generally come with your purchase of a tree stand. Over time, the material used to make harnesses may become worn, so making sure your straps and harnesses are in good shape is important. The best way to frighten a whole acre full of deer is by falling out of your stand, not to mention the serious or even fatal injuries you could sustain.

Section of an infix operator
From HaskellWiki
In Haskell there is a special syntax for partial application on infix operators. Essentially, you only give one of the arguments to the infix operator, and it represents a function which intuitively takes an argument and puts it on the "missing" side of the infix operator.
- (left section) is equivalent to(2^), or more verbosely(^) 2\x -> 2 ^ x
- (right section) is equivalent to(^2), or more verboselyflip (^) 2\x -> x ^ 2
Like partial application and lambda abstraction, sectioning provides a convenient way of writing some functions without having to explicitly name them:
- (unsugared:(1+)) is the "increment" function,(+) 1
- is the "double" function,(2*)
- is the "indent" function,('\t':)
- is the "is-capital-vowel-in-English" function (ignoring the "sometimes Y").(`elem` "AEIOU")
, you need to write
(- e)
(subtract e)

CHICAGO - Christian Thomas posted 23 points and 11 rebounds and Jordan Hicks added 18 points as Loyola University Chicago (14-12, 4-9 Horizon) led from start to finish en route to a 69-60 victory over UIC (15-11, 6-7 Horizon) this afternoon at Gentile Arena. The victory snaps the Ramblers' four-game losing skid and doubles their win total from a season ago (7).
"Our crowd was awesome today and that was the best leadership we've had down the stretch this season," Loyola head coach Porter Moser said. "It's tough to lose guys like Cully (Payne) and Ben (Averkamp), but our guys really rallied around it. Infusing Joe (Crisman) back into the lineup gave us heart, toughness, and leadership."
A tip-in by Hicks kicked off a 21-7 Rambler run which also featured back-to-back three-pointers by Hicks and Nick Osborne, that turned a one-point game into a 30-15 Loyola lead in the first half. After making just 2 of their first 14 shots from the field, the Ramblers closed the period by converting 12 of their next 13 attempts, and also turned the ball over just twice while holding UIC to 36 percent (10 for 28) field goal accuracy.
Loyola would lead by as many as 16 points in the second half, the last time coming on Hicks' jumper with 17:38 remaining, but UIC would use a 23-11 spurt to close with 56-52 on Daniel Barnes' only three-pointer of the game.
But, after a hoop by Thomas and a pair of free throws by Josh Crittle, Loyola scored nine of the next 11 points to open up a 67-56 lead with 31 seconds left to seize complete control of the contest.
Thomas, who has now scored in double figures in 11 straight games, finished with a career-best 23 points and hauled in 11 rebounds for his fifth double double of the year. Hicks added 18 points as he reached double digits for the fourth time in the last six outings, and Devon Turk, who was making his first career start, pitched in 10 points and four boards.
Loyola played the game without the services of two key injured starters - forward Ben Averkamp and Cully Payne, but the Ramblers were recharged by the return of Joe Crisman, who is arguably the team's best defender but had been forced to the sidelines the last five games because of an injury.
Marc Brown led UIC with 13 points.
Loyola, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of its 1963 NCAA Championship team at halftime today, continues the homestand when it hosts League leader Valparaiso Tuesday night (Feb. 19).

Barack the Peacemocker
posted at 3:08 pm on January 1, 2012 by Dafydd ab Hugh
According to my favorite blogger at my favorite blog (and the Associated Press), President Barack H. "Bubble Boy" Obama is currently in secret negotiations with the Taliban — to be "mediated," if Obama has his way, by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi: a Koran-thumping, jihad-urging, radical-Islamist cleric in Afghanistan.
The bare bones of the agreement our president is hammering out with the Taliban is this:
- Americans unconditionally withdraw all forces from Afghanistan.
- We give up all objection to the Taliban returning to power (as part of a "coalition" with the Karzai government * ).
- We build a headquarters compound for the Taliban.
- We announce that we are no longer enemies with the Taliban.
- We release all Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay and allow them to return to Afghanistan — and resume the activities that landed them in Gitmo in the first place.
- We issue an apology from the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan; after which Obama goes barefoot and bareheaded to Kandahar, where he bows deeply from the waist and begs forgiveness — for George W. Bush's wickedness.
(That last bullet point isn't official; I'm just logically extrapolating.)
In the Power Line post, John Hinderacker theorizes about what President B.O. has in mind:
[T]he Afghanistan war is deeply unpopular [it is? I thought that was the good war! — DaH], and Obama wants to run for re-election next November on the boast that he "ended two wars." The baleful consequences of re-installing the Taliban in Afghanistan will not appear until long after the next election campaign, which is all that Obama cares about.
John implies, I believe, that the maneuver will have the desired effect: Obama will be lionized for being the peacemaker, Bush reviled as a warmonger, and this will give Bubble Boy a swift boost into a second term. But bear in mind that traditionally, the closer we approach an election, the more pessimistic become the lads at Power Line.
I have a different take on the political outcome of Obama "workin' the machinations behind the scenes," as Louis Farrakhan might put it. Rather than a political triumph for Obama, I see a soft spot that even the Republican Party will be able to hit while dead drunk and with one eye tied behind its back — which, to be honest, is the way it usually campaigns.
Here's the plan. We wait until Barack Obama begins strutting and chest thumping about how he has "ended two wars," then we respond thus:
President Obama has discovered a super-easy way to end any war quickly: just surrender. We prematurely withdraw from Afghanistan at the same time we prematurely withdraw from Iraq, leaving the door wide open to an Iranian invasion; what a diplomatic masterstroke! Obama becomes the first president in American history to lose two wars… simultaneously!
It seems the One We Have Been Waiting For actually believes that surrendering to two different gangs of radical Islamists is America's greatest national-security triumph, and he expects us to reward him with another term. Even worse, these are two wars that we had already won — that is, until Barack Obama took over and found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Heckuva job, Mr. President.
I have no idea who gave him the cockamamie idea to bring the Taliban back in Afghanistan and to prematurely withdraw from Iraq and allow Iran to take over. It's as if in 1945, after the Germans surrendered in World War II, FDR had entered into secret negotiations with the surviving Nazis to withdraw all American troops, then help restore the Nazi Party to power again in Germany… while simultaneously encouraging the Soviets to seize control of Japan, China, and the Philippines.
Even Jimmy Carter stands in awe of such a colossal concatenation of catastrophe.
Barack Obama has pulled off a feat that none of us thought possible: His foreign and national-security policy has failed even worse than his domestic and economic policy… a breathtaking achievement!
I say, bring it on; how I long to have that debate. What is Obama going to argue? "Look, it has been three months already, and the Taliban has not yet reinstated mass torture-executions of Christians, moderate Moslems, and uppity women!"
Well of course not: Part of Obama's secret deal with the Taliban requires them to hold off until Obama is safely reelected… probably the only clause of the contract they will fulfill; and then only because having Barack Hussein Obama continue to occupy the White House is in the Taliban's best interest, and Iran's as well.
All that's left is to declare all American hydrocarbon fuel off-limits at the very moment the Iranians decide to blockade the Strait of Hormuz; then the cosmic Obasmic failure will be complete, thorough — and irreversible.
* Note that the Taliban and Hamid Karzai's government are deadly, sworn enemies; how's that parlay going to work out?

TSA detains passenger because she showed 'bad attitude'
posted at 2:16 pm on September 8, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
You have to admire the ingenuity of the Transportation Security Administration. Who else could have dreamed up this brilliant two-part strategy? First, you test the patience of air travelers by forcing them to jump through hoops at airport security. Then when they become vexed over all the pointless and unnecessary red tape, you ground them on the basis that their attitude needs adjustment (h/t Infowars).
Such was the experience of an unnamed traveler who was prevented from boarding her flight in late August following a dust-up with a TSA officer. The woman, who captured the altercation on video, posted it to YouTube along with the following account:
This was inside the terminal at the Houston airport. I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA 'test' it. The TSA agent finally admitted that it wasn't because they thought I was a security risk—it was because the TSA agent, Louis Godeaux, was mad at me!
In the video, the woman can be heard plainly saying to Godeaus, "Let me get this straight. This is retaliatory for my attitude. Yhis is not making the airways safer. It's retaliatory."
The officer can be heard just as plainly replying, "It pretty much definitely is."
The rule that the woman initially violated is one that was added to the TSA's passenger torture list in July. Under the policy, agents are permitted to inspect beverages at the gate (just in case a passenger sneaks a Styrofoam cup of liquid explosive through security).
It is worth noting that the TSA is not alone in the crusade to discourage air travel. The video here chronicles the ordeal of a woman detained by airport security for 10 hours after her flight in February. Her crime? Painting her fingernails mid-flight.

Arsène Wenger admits that last season took its toll on his emotions but he believes his team will come back stronger for the experience.
On the morning of February 27, Arsenal were still in the hunt for all four trophies. By the end of that day they had lost the Carling Cup Final to Birmingham in freakish circumstances and, within two weeks, two more trophies had slipped away.
By the time Arsenal's title challenge petered out in April, Wenger cut a disconsolate figure on the touchline. He acknowledges that the unfulfilled promise of the 2010/11 campaign made it his most trying period since he was appointed manager in 1996.
"The last part of the season was [the hardest]," said Wenger. "That was certainly the toughest because, emotionally, it was very difficult because we were on a low. And then you could see that the last three or four weeks were very difficult.
"[It took its toll] because I took full responsibility for what happened. I knew at some stage that it was lost and I had so much hope for the team because through November and December, you could feel that the team had really taken off and could win everything. And it was so close."
The key now is to respond to last season's setbacks and Wenger is confident that his squad are ready to turn their potential into prizes.
"I believe that the real destiny of this team is now there," he said. "They know as well as I know that we were very, very close.
"You say, OK we missed our chance or you say, in our position, let's show everybody that we can do it and come back stronger. Which is what I think we can do because we are a young team and we can only be better. It demands the strength of character that champions have. That's what we want to show."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

"Ponder will not become the guy we want him to be if he doesn't have more weapons around him. Peterson is obviously great, but once Harvin's season ended, there was no one to throw the ball to. Even when Harvin is healthy, Ponder needs additional options. Fortunately, you can find receivers, and you don't even have to go high in the first round of the draft to find them. Many of the best receivers in the league are second-day draft picks. Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback for Green Bay, but he benefits by having a ton of great receivers to throw to -- none of whom is a first-round draft pick. The Vikings can find similar weapons. It just needs to be a priority."
"I also believe teams should draft a quarterback every year. Not a high pick, mind you, but a guy in the middle rounds who has a chance to make it. If anything happens to Ponder, the Vikings need to have a guy behind him that gives them a chance to win. Look at what the Redskins did this year. Not only did they take Robert Griffin III in the first round, but they also went and grabbed Kirk Cousins in the fourth. There are players like him available in the draft every year. You need somebody waiting in the wings to give your team hope and confidence."

What nothing to do with Manziel. Tim Tebow v2
Only a lot smaller. Kid will get wrecked in the NFL if he plays QB. Hope he spends his offseasons learning how to play Slot Receiver or Safety.
Actually, he's going to become a college legend, and likely a 2-time Heisman, so some team will probably draft him as a QB. If he isn't open to switching positions, his career will follow the Tebow arc.
Honestly, I was blown away watching Manziel in the Cotton Bowl. Dude is extremely shifty. Great runner as well, unlike RGIII. He hardly took any hits despite scrambling quite a bit.
He's a redshirt freshman, so I'm not quite willing to project his pro prospects, but from what I've seen right now I'd definitely draft him as a QB.

Tebow had awesome passing statistics in college too. I haven't seen enough of Manziel to have my own opinion, but I've heard plenty of people who have said he's not a NFL caliber passer.

On a side note (not related to the topic), why has Fran been so talkative in the last few years (probably starting with the Favre fiasco)? Vikings fans probably hadn't heard from him in over 20 years (since his retirement?) until Favre came in...now we hear something from him every few months. It's kind of odd. Has he retired from his second career, so now he has too much time on his hands?
Thx to Lil Uno!

Give me Landry Jones in the 4-5th round, i think he could really develop well if given some time. He has the arm talent to make it easy, people are just worried about his pocket awareness and his confidence. He could develop into a good backup at the least. [/quote]

I really don't want to take QB in the draft at all.
We already have our starter (Ponder) and a developmental guy (MBT); now we need a veteran backup. We have too many holes in the roster to be spending a draft pick on a position that's already filled (developmental guy).

I like Jones that late in the draft as well. I'd also like the QB out of Duke at that late of a pick.
I was very high on BJ Coleman last year and I think he's going to become a good QB after having a good showing for Green Bay.
I'm a Vikings fan, that must naturally mean that I'm a masochist, right?

Spielman Interview
Why was the pass offense so bad?
"It's the philosophy, that when you have 28 (Adrian Peterson) in the backfield, the identity of our team is going to be tough, smart, physical, and you're not going to take the ball out of 28's hands. Our identity is playing good defense and being physical up front, utilizing Adrian Peterson. I mean, 15 years from now, I don't see Adrian Peterson doing what he's doing. He may, because he defies everything people say he can't. But I think that's what our identity is, and that's how our football team is built, and that's how we have success winning games."
Can that philosophy win you 12, 13 games? Division titles? Championships?
"I think teams have won running. But I also know, you have to make plays in the passing game. They're going to put eight, nine, 10 -- that last Green Bay game, it looked like there were 13 guys in the box. The coaches were out there, too. You still have to have that balance on offense, where you do have to make plays in the passing game. In those four games, you saw Christian (Ponder) develop and you saw our ability to make those kinds of plays."
Do you need to bring in, if not competition for Ponder, at least options for backup quarterbacks?
"We're going to go through that process starting next week. Again, we'll start evaluating each guy individually, and we start from our number one guy on our roster to the last practice squad guy on our roster. We have very thorough and unfiltered discussions on each guy, and where we see them at, and whether we see them as part of our (team) going forward. But those decisions have not been determined, because as we work through that, we'll be down at the Senior Bowl the following week, and then we work on free agency and the draft meetings. By the time we get to the combine (in late February), I have a pretty good idea of the overall plan and how we'll execute that."
How did you evaluate Ponder's first full season as the starter?
"I think you guys kind of know I look at stats, but go back and look at some of the second-year quarterbacks who are having success now, and I've told you that in the past I went and looked at Matt Ryan, where his stats were. I know he missed a couple games -- I think he only started 14 games that second year. But the Eli (Manning)s of the world, the Drew Brees of the world, and again, I think when I talked to you in the preseason or earlier I wrote down what his stats were probably going to be, and just looking at some of the stats of those guys as they progressed through their career. But you guys can do your research."

The MVP has been my primary hunting call for the past eight or nine seasons, while a number of others have come and gone.

Google CEO: We Have no Real "Competitors", Apple's Fixation is Self-Destructive
Jason Mick
December 11, 2012 4:45 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Larry Page says that when you're obsessed with the present you're not looking ahead to the future
"We're still 1 percent to where we should be. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to try to move things along. Not enough people are focused on big change. Part of what I'm trying to do is take Google as a case study and really scale our ambition such that we are able to cause more positive change in the world and more technological change."
"I have a deep feeling that we are not even close to where we should be."
I. Google -- Doing Its Own Thing
Those sound like the words of a CEO of a company struggling technologically. But surprisingly the come from Larry Page, the current CEO of Google Inc. (
) -- the maker of the world's most used search engine, most used online advertising service, and most used smartphone operating system platform.
In a
new interview
Mr. Page emphasizes Google's philosophy on how it differs from competitors. He says that most rivals who have issues with Google are more worried about themselves than their end users, where as at Google it's all about providing the best experience for the end user, which is built on the premise of openness. By providing Google services on as many platforms as possible (even those of arch-nemesis Apple, Inc. (AAPL)), Mr. Page says customers will have access to the best options on the market.
As for Apple
locking out Google Maps and other apps from iOS 6
, he simply comments, "We try pretty hard to make our products be available as widely as we can. That's our philosophy. I think sometimes we're allowed to do that. Sometimes we're not."

The CEO accuses Apple (and its late CEO Steven P. Jobs) as
being overly fixated
on Google. Reiterating his comments from
a previous interview
, he says that Apple's legal campaign against Google is partly to rally the company against its competitor.
But he says that if you're fixated on your competitor, you're not looking forward at your own future. He remarks, "I don't like to rally my company in that way because I think that if you're looking at somebody else, you're looking at what they do now, and that's not how again you stay two or three steps ahead."
To him, Google has no real "competitors". He comments, "I feel my job is mostly getting people not to think about our competition. In general I think there's a tendency for people to think about the things that exist."
II. Risky Efforts are Important to Software Giant
The interviewer asks about Google's so-called "70-20-10 model" in which 70 percent of the company's spending is devoted to search/advertising, 20 percent is devoted to apps (like
Google Docs
), and 10 percent is devoted to experimental efforts (like
self-driving cars
Project Glass
He says that Google still mostly follows that model, but that some projects fall on the border of categories. He comments, "So where would you put Android? It's probably in the 70 in terms of impact -- the monetization is at an early stage."
As for Google Plus
, he says the social network is faring "pretty well" and is "improving". He suggests that with Plus and other services users may not have received quite what they initially expected, but that Google's philosophy is that users must get accustomed to services before making judgements.
Page is optimistic about Google Plus. [Image Source: Google]
As for how long he will remain CEO at Google (Eric Schmidt was
chief for 10 years
), he says, "I don't know. It seems impossible to predict."
"I'd be pissed too, but you didn't have to go all Minority Report on his ass!" -- Jon Stewart on police raiding Gizmodo editor Jason Chen's home

These targets are both fun and frustrating as heck.
First two are via the Savage-Anschutz 54 Sporter @ 50 yards.
You don't shoot all numbers - just the ones assigned.
My deepest apologies to the third hostage, but I think the new piercing looks good. A lot better than his anyway.
Then I decided to try the bugs at 100 yards with the Savage 22-250. This was a throwback to another outing some years previous with the same rifle, when a most unfortunate wasp landed on the target just after I'd got zeroed.
Cold bore was on the grasshopper. I was looking for a 1/4" L drift, but I hit dead on POA instead.
After that, I worked the rest of the target L to R and Top to Bottom.
This rifle gives me Hell when it heats up. Note the last two.

UAF Colloquium Series: Jon Genetti, Dec. 7
The UAF Department of Mathematical Sciences and ARSC are jointly sponsoring a Mathematical Modelling, Computational Science, and Supercomputing Colloquium Series.
The schedule and abstracts for the '00-'01 academic year are available at:
The next presentation:
Bringing Space Into Focus Dr. Jon Genetti Computer Scientist San Diego Supercomputer Center
Date: Thursday, December 7, 2000 Time: 2:00-3:00 PM Location: Natural Sciences 202ABSTRACT
The San Diego Supercomputer Center collaborated with the American Museum of Natural History to produce a visualization of the Orion Nebula for the new Hayden Planetarium.
During the Space Show, viewers are transported 1500 light years to the heart of the nebula on an 87 foot digital dome consisting of 9 million pixels. An alternate version was produced for flat displays and was recently shown at Siggraph in the Electronic Theater.
The talk will cover the following topics:
- overview of the project and technical challenges
- description of the visualization process that began with Hubble Space Telescope imagery and ended with simulated Orion Nebula images from any viewpoint
- development of the rendering software
- content generation for alternate (non-flat) displays
- current work of visualizing cells for cancer research
- future work of visualizing the Aurora Borealis
Jon Genetti is a Computer Scientist in the SDSC Scientific Visualization group. His current interests are designing and implementing algorithms for out-of-core visualization, volume rendering, and medical imaging.
Jon received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University in 1993. Prior to arriving at SDSC in 1996, Jon spent three years as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Book Review: Parallel Programming in OpenMP[Review by Tom Baring.]
Parallel Programming in OpenMP Chandra, Dagum, Kohr, Maydan, McDonald, Menon ISBN 1-55860-671-8 Academic Press Copyright 2001 230 pages
This is a great introduction to parallel programming; it provides both introductory and in-depth matter on the OpenMP API. It's well-written, enjoyable, and succeeds in the goal it sets in the Preface (p xiii):
"...the main information available about OpenMP [was] the OpenMP specification (available from the OpenMP Web site at www.openmp.org). Although this is appropriate as a formal and complete specification, it is not a very accessible format for programmers wishing to use OpenMP for developing parallel applications. This book tries to fulfill the needs of these programmers."
Unlike many programming texts, the authors don't bury the reader in code. There are examples throughout, but big sections of code required by dumb machines but annoying to smart people are generally left out. In Chapter 2, we meet our first parallelized loop (p23):
subroutine saxpy z,a,x,y,n) integer i,n real z(n), a, x(n), y !$omp parallel do do i = 1, n z(i) = a * x(i) + y enddo return end
And are treated to a clear, informative description (p24):
"These ... threads divide the iterations of the do loop among themselves, with each thread executing a subset of the total number of iterations. There is an implicit barrier at the end of the parallel do construct."
Did you know about the implicit barrier? The OpenMP standard is small, but there are important details like this on perhaps every topic.
There are chapters on loop-level parallelism, parallel regions, and synchronization. Each chapter describes the generic concepts (applicable in any programming model) and then focuses on OpenMP solutions for the applications programmer.
The final chapter, of interest to those with production codes, covers performance issues. It starts with Amdahl's law and factors (like load balance) that affect performance, and proceeds to issues specific to different architectures (cache vs vector, for instance). To whet your appetite (p203):
"We have given reasons why using more threads than the number of processors can lead to performance problems. Do the same problems occur when each parallel application uses less threads than processors, but the set of applications running together in aggregate uses more threads than processors?"
Perhaps 10% of the examples are in C/C++, and attention is paid to particular C++ issues. The Fortran concepts translate to C however, so this shouldn't be a problem.
My biggest complaint is that the book ignores the existence of Fortran 90/95. I noted a total of one (1) example of Fortran 90 array syntax, nothing on modules or Fortran 90 intrinsics, and no discussion of Fortran 90 issues.
I give this book a strong recommendation. Co-editor Guy Robinson must like it too, as he's assigned it as a required text for his graduate course, "Parallel Programming for Scientists," next semester at UAF.

Final Call for Papers:
The form for submitting an abstract is at:
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ According to hpm, my SV1 code gets 30 million cache hits/second. How [[ can I tell if this is really improving its performance? Disable caching, do another run, and compare. The "/etc/cpu" command can be used to disable data and/or instruction caching for a run of any program (see "man cpu"). For example, if your executable were named, "a.out", the following SV1 command would run it with data caching disabled: /etc/cpu -m ecdoff ./a.out You can still use hpm to measure performance: hpm /etc/cpu -m ecdoff ./a.out Q: My MPI code doesn't know until runtime how many messages the PEs will be exchanging. Given this problem, how can I match a receive to every send, as required by MPI?

- Dolphin 2.0 will no longer use Qt's Interview Framework: "The new view-engine for Dolphin 2.0 is built on a (very) modified subset of Itemviews-NG. In the longterm (probably with Qt 5) it is planned to integrate Qt-Quick but this affects only a non-critical minor part of the view-engine and has not high priority at the moment." The benefits of this new approach include improved performance, unclipped filenames and more flexibility around item boundaries, which no longer have to be rectangular nor as big as they used to be.
- Grouping enhanced: "Currently the "grouping" feature is only supported for the icons mode but will be available for all view-modes in Dolphin 2.0."
- Animated Transitions: Probably the feature that adds less value, but the most visually evident and thus, the one that has created most noise. Here´s a preview which demonstrates this feature: Personally, I think it adds to the eyecandy side of things, those animations do look good, but I have no strong feelings one way or the other. It seems Peter made sure those animations wouldn´t end up becoming a bloat fest, so as long as Dolphin does not slow down, I am good.
- Reduced complexity: "From a developers point of view the new engine simplifies the maintenance a lot and lowers the barrier for developers to contribute patches for Dolphin."

Hi Chema,ReplyDelete
After all the file managers that I have used in various distros, I find dophin to be the best.
The animations look slick and the other improvements mentioned like:speedup improvements, keyboard navigation and more, will only make it better.
Thanks for giving us this good news.
Take Care, brother.
Brother my blog has made to the Ubuntu Weekly
Thanks to you(as in my blog I have taken ques from you)and everyone in the FOSS world who has helped me who helped me understand things in such short time.
I really have loved every moment in this beautiful FOSS universe.
Take care.
I don't the animations are only eye candy. The animations that show the files being re-arranged as the view mode is changed can be very helpful for new users. This gives them an intuitive sense of what has happened when they changed the view mode.ReplyDelete
Congrats, Mohammad, way to go! I bet your site has seen visit figures raise like crazy, huh? I love when that happens.ReplyDelete
Hehe, brother what you say about my site getting visitors in abundance has not happened exactly and I had gotten more visitors in the days just after posting it, when I to spread the info about it posted it in some places and have got the title of a "Spam". It was a mistake on my part. But I got the mention that is whats important to me. I showed it to my father(he isn't a tech guy) but when I translated(in hindi) what I had written on my blog and told to him, he was moved(especially by my intro . This proves just how humane FOSS is.
Also how did you got Firefox 8 that you were mentioning to Jeff, did you add that Firefox-next PPA or something else?.
Well, when it does happen and you see your site statistics through the roof, it is such a great feeling!ReplyDelete
As for Firefox 8, yes I have used the next PPA, but the comparison with Firefox 7 renders the same results. It is simply faster, more powerful and way more reliable than Midori.
You are correct on that, even now when I see my blog stats and their are viewer from across the globe mainly because Ubuntu is a World phenomenon, it feels good.
On Firefox 8, well I went over to Ubuntu-IRC yesterday and asked about why isn't the Firefox 8 being pushed for upgrade. some people suggested that there aren't any major improvements in there.
Also I upgraded Chromium from 14 to 15 but I am feeling it was a wrong move as the new one(i think)is eating a lot of ram and I am mostly maxing 1.1gb out of the 2gb that I have when I open multiple pages and windows on browsers and stuff.
What is your usage stats on Kubuntu while Idling and when multitasking and Is 4.7.3 crashing on your Kubuntu as it is happening more than occasionally on mine.
Take Care
Chromium 15 works great for me, and I do appreciate its features. Having said so, I have not noticed much difference in Memory "hunger", to be honest.
Kubuntu idle (which in my case includes Nepomuk and Akonadi active) usually stays around 0.4GB.
I ran a quick test for multitasking, which includes: Chromium on my blog site, Firefox playing a Youtube Video, Kontact, and digikam playing a slideshow, all adding up to 1GB, which I think is good.
Take care

Wow moving and scaling images ... WOW! Impresive!ReplyDelete
What I love about dolphin too is to be able to have a Places panel above/below a Folders panel. I also like the terminal panel. And of course that you can customize toolbar buttons... Definitely the best browser out there IMHOReplyDelete
I find many useful things herewithAnimated introReplyDelete
