Netflix and the Big Mistake
In perhaps the greatest (Arnold movie anyway) movie ever made, "the Last Action Hero," Arnold told Claudius he made a "Big Mistake." Right now, Netflix is making a big mistake. The Christian Science Monitor thinks Netflix is creating Qwikster just to sell it. Again, Big Mistake.
America is not ready for streaming, and may remain unready for decades to come. Streaming requires cheap and easy bandwidth, which in turn requires a lot fat, high-capacity connections to the average consumer, already paid for and competing with other connections to offer low cost connectivity. Most internet service providers have usage caps, that impose fairly high fees past certain amounts of downloaded data. Heavy streaming of movies will blow past those caps and make the cost of connecting to the internet very pricey. That's a dubious proposition when people are buying cable packages without ESPN to save $30 to $40 a month.
America is a big, spread out country. Unlike mostly urban places where Netflix has expanded (Canada, Argentina, South Korea), most people in America still live in spread out suburbs. It will take a long time for high speed internet to be built out to those areas, and even longer for the data pipes to be fully paid for, and face competing connectivity offerings. Yes Amazon, and Google, and other people are thinking of offering their own data plans, but let us be realistic. Are they able to cover people in suburban Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Chicago, and St. Louis? Plus everywhere in between?
Then too, Netflix faces extremely high costs in signing content deals for streaming. While Netflix can simply go out and buy DVDs if it has to, and has done so (as has Redbox), for a fixed and limited cost, and rent those discs out, streaming the content requires very pricey arrangements with content providers. Who having rapidly diminished revenue streams from TV sales, DVD sales and rentals, no real bump from Blu-Ray, and not much from global ticket sales or 3-D, are not in the mood to do anything but raise prices or build their own streaming center. [This is short-sighted, and guarantees piracy the way the lack of Itunes in the fragmented, Napster era guaranteed widespread music piracy, but that is another story.] Hollywood needs to make money, and they figure on doing it through streaming one way or another.
Meanwhile, those people wanting high definition video, or 3-D (for those who have it) will find Blu-Ray discs far more friendly. You can stop it and watch when you want, there is no stuttering or jitter on limited bandwidth networks, no pricey bandwidth cap fees, and the family can watch as much as it wants before returning the disc.
Yes, the troubles with the Post Office make the costs of the physical disk market potentially higher, but far lower than the endlessly increasing streaming. In a far-flung nation like the United States, the advantage of delivering entertainment on a physical disk still outweighs that of a network.
Yes this is the old "floppy net" or "sneaker net" way of moving files around, on a physical disk hand-carried to device that can read them. In this case, not computer files but DVD and Blu-Ray discs. This business model still works, generates a lot of cash, and will for quite some time.
Reed Hastings is still living in the mini-dot-com boom. When Facebook and Groupon were valued at billions despite not turning a profit at all, apparently. People don't have the money, to spend on pricey streaming plans. No matter how convenient they are, business-wise, requiring almost no people. Hastings can obviously see, "hey no mailing centers, no people opening and sealing envelopes, very little in the way of employees, hey cost savings." That's diving for nickels and dimes and ignoring dollars on the table. Anyone can open a streaming business, heck why wouldn't content owners go with Hulu, many of which are still partners in the deal, or Amazon, or Apple, or Microsoft, or any number of partners who can give them a better deal?
Meanwhile Netflix already has loyal customers, who have liked and used the DVD by mail rental service because of its cheap price and wide selection. To get into that business requires opening up and training employees to operate mailing centers, regionally. It requires lots of publicity and marketing. Netflix has a lot of expertise running their mailing centers, which are the core of their business. None at all really running streaming which places like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Hulu know a lot better than Netflix.
Sometimes nobody here can play the game, as Casey Stengel said of the hapless Mets. Or, "Big Mistake." Maybe even, "Not to be!"

Absolutely correct.
Karl Denninger has been saying similar things about Netflix not being able to keep piggybacking on other people's infrastructure indefinitely. The DVD-by-mail business is the dependable part of their business, which is exactly the opposite of what most people believe.

Have to disagree with you Whiskey.
High speed internet for streaming is in the suburbs, its in the little towns in Wyoming, its already everywhere. So this is not an issue, which unravels the rest of your argument.
Most of the internet usage these days is for streaming video, over half and this isn't going to change.
Certainly, At&T and other carriers have put limits on the amount of band with, recently, but a competitor will keep it unlimited (just as they do with phones).
Netflix has a problem. Red Box has been kicking Netflix's butt on the DVDs and on the other hand their streaming contracts end next year and you'll have more competition in a year from Amazon and hulu among others.
They lost 1 million out of 25 million customers with their change, and I would bet of the remainder a huge percentage dropped the dvd portion because redbox and the local rental store are sufficient.
I know several that did this.

As a long time Netflix customer, I though I would enjoy their providing on-line streaming much more than it turns out I actually do.
As you noted, there is often a "choppy" quality, that it more annoying than some might think (maybe I'm spoiled by having watched too many DVD's), and with some content, a noticeably reduced video quality. And, it isn't as if I simply do not have an adequate wireless router – I purposefully upgraded to a high end router, which was specifically indicated for high-volume usage such as on-line gaming and video streaming.
The convenience of being able to gain immediate access to a specific movie that one wishes to view is arguably a nice feature to have, but one cannot help but notice that quite a bit of Netflix's catalog is NOT available for streaming. And, the competition for the streaming market is already in place. We've long had the ability to view content from out cable provider (Comcast/Xfinity) via their "On-Demand" service – although their movie "rental" costs are certainly excessive. Amazon has also had streamable/short-term downloadable content for some time – and usually at more reasonable prices (but still on a per-item basis). More recently Hulu has also joined the crowded market.
Perhaps Netflix did their "snail mail" DVD rental operation a huge favor in spinning them off into their own entity (Quikster, or whatever they're calling it). It likely has a better chance of surviving long term, especially as it offers the improved quality available via Blu-Ray.
Yet, I think you missed one aspect of all this that really bothers me – streaming video content to smart-phones and tablets via wireless data services at a time when providers are ditching their "unlimited" data plans, and offering up plans that would typically allow for downloading only a few movies (assuming the higher-cost 3-5 Gbyte/month plans). If one goes beyond the set allocation, one starts to pay a premium cost for per-Gbyte usage (assuming that an additional Gb is only $10, if the movie one wishes to stream from Netflix pushes even 100 Kb over the monthly plan limit, that movie has effectively cost the user $10 to rent (on top of the monthly fee) – and I refused to pay $7 for "On-Demand" movies from Comcast.
And, again, it's not just Netflix looking to provide on-line content to smart-phone and tablet users. Hulu, Amazon, and Xfinity all provide Apps to encourage users to chose them.
I recall when the iPhone first came out, and the AT&T data plan was 35 Mbyte/month. I found it humerous to read about the high number of dipsh*ts who didn't realize that trying to download music and video content was going to quickly put them over that limit – and about their whining about get their first months bill for several hundred in additional data fees.
My guess is that the end of unlimited data plans, and the proliferation of apps encouraging people to download video to their phones will soon produce another round of shocked customers who get some big bills – and that might all but kill off Netflix, which has been pushing their iOS and Android app heavily.

Country Lawyer - "High speed internet for streaming is in the suburbs, its in the little towns in Wyoming, its already everywhere. So this is not an issue"
I take it that you haven't actually tried to use it though?
The issue isn't access nor data caps (I agree Whiskey overstates the latter...a bit) It about the quality. A typical movie on DVD is 4-5 Gbytes of data. That's a lot to push out over the net. Thus, providers try to compress it down to around 2 Gbyte. This comes at a cost in picture quality (I notice it especially with Netflix streaming). And, even this compression doesn't completely overcome the issues involved with try to transmit so much data quickly enough for smooth playback.
I've got Xfinitys top plan, their top data modem, and a high-end wireless router, and it still suffers from time to time (say, for example, in th evening when a lot of other people are home and using their Comcast/Xfinity broadband. There are limits which cannot be easily overcome. And, having increasing numbers of people opt to stream movies is only going to make it worse.
- September 27, 2011 at 8:34 AM
Comcast has a bandwidth cap of 250GB/month. Streaming 3 hours of content from Netflix a night for one month comes in at just over 80GB/month, so bandwidth caps aren't currently a problem. Netflix's bigger problem is a Karl Denninger pointed out. They are free riding on the ISPs infrastucture. They also aren't going to get the cheap deals for streaming content that were in place. Starz and Disney saying 'no' to netflix is just the beginning.

Canada has a much lower population density than does the United States.
In Canada Netflix also has a setting that sucks up about 300-400MB/hour - that's a lot of viewing a month.
And their use of content-distribution networks means that they aren't really a free-rider.

"I take it that you haven't actually tried to use it though?"
Slwerner, yes I have. I use it all the time when my younger relatives are over and have never had a problem with quality other than the rare occassion when a movie won't load.
I live in the sticks, so I know Whiskey is wrong about access, and never had a picture quality problem and never hit any kind of data limit.
Streaming is the future. Netflix knows it, yes cable and the networks are going to try and control it.
Note: Every major station has their shows online now within a day or week or so of being broadcast with less commercials. I watched "Person of Interest" this way.
That is the easiest way for the networks to kill Netflix. Control all their content and put it out there themselves with commercials.
They're already doing this, and this is the future of television.

Country lawyer - "I live in the sticks, so I know Whiskey is wrong about access, and never had a picture quality problem and never hit any kind of data limit."
Ironically, the fact that you don't live in a metropolitan area likely makes the situation better for you. You end up having the same basic hardware and physical lines that are used for areas with higher population densities (and thus more people trying to transfer more data at the same time).
I think it's simply a matter of the physical limitations of the networks. A four-lane highway through a big city will suffer chronic congestion issues, whereas the same sized highway running through a small town will not.
I think Whiskey may have over-looked what might be the more critical issue – network over-loading due to the expanded use of video streaming.
I have heard rumors that Comcast (my provider) has surreptitiously instituted measures to deter "heavy" users, such as slowing down the data rates based on measured usage. I've never seen any confirmation of this, but I believe that I've experienced it. I have noticed that, on occasion, larger downloads seem to slowdown as they progress. And, thinking about it, the issues I've had with Netflix movies getting "choppy" seem to happen more towards the end of a movie (just when things are "heating up", the picture starts to "pixelate", and the audio sputters and drops out).
While hard data limits (250 Gbyte) may not be "The Issue", perhaps the larger sizes of movies and the attendant higher rates of data transmission may trigger some "soft limits" that providers have hidden in their system?

Redbox was the killer app for Netflix's over the mail business. Its true that Redbox has a tiny selection compared to Netflix, but it's right there in your hand, and therefore is much more comparable to the old video store rental experience than having to plan your movies out days or weeks in advance. Movie watching is often spur of the moment stuff. Netflix got around that for a while by undercutting video stores to a substantial enough degree such that people would wait to get the movie rather than spending more to see it *now* from the video store or PPV. And so did Netflix slay the video store, for the most part. But Redbox is now slaying Netflix, at least in its old "core" business of mail-order DVD rentals.
I do think that their approach has been understandable yet somewhat hare-brained. Streaming isn't even close to their core business, and it's not clear at all as to what, if any, competitive advantages Netflix has in this area (whereas in the mailer model, they had clear advantages they had built up themselves), plus they have good, well-funded competition who has experience in this area and/or overall web dominance like, say, Amazon. I don't see how Netflix is going to compete successfully with Amazon, Apple and Hulu, really -- they're playing on enemy territory there.
As for the bandwidth issues, the caps are quite high, really, unless you are a totally inveterate movie watcher. Typical 1-2 movies a week would not get you near the caps for most ISPs. And broadband is being built out way into the suburbs now in many places. In the DC area where I live, broadband is ubiquitous 20-30 miles out from downtown, no worries. This will continue to improve somewhat over the coming years as well, I think, although it does depend on where you live. I do agree, though, with slwerner's assessment of the rickety-ness of broadband movie streaming so far -- it's not really the same quality you'd expect, because the band isn't generally broad enough yet throughout the network. Also, I don't understand why someone would want to watch a feature film on an iPhone or an iPad, but that's just me.
I'm not a big home movie watcher, so it doesn't impact me very much at all, but I do think that Netflix has to accept that it had a good thing going for a while, but it's now being outdone and squeezed, and all good things come to an end.

It very well could be Werner, that being in the burbs has an advantage over the big city due to traffic on the internet, but that runs counter to Whiskey's position in his post, which was my point.
Streaming does work for the most part and DVDs are over the long haul dead as a business model. So too is Netflix's model, they're dead in the near future unless they reinvent themselves.
The networks themselves have realized that streaming is the way to the future, they offer their shows on streaming with limited commercials and it will be only a matter of time before all the old shows get up and running.
Sell an advertiser a number of users a day to be the sole advertiser for a show someone downloads (cheaper if it is any show versus a particular show) and each viewer gets a message "This show brought to you courtesy of X with limited interruptions. and voila, revenue stream, target advertising (if necessary) no fast forwarding through the advert, no getting lost in the advertising shuffle with everything else, and short enough that most people will stay and watch the ad so they don't miss anything.
Look, most people in the under 40 set don't watch shows when they're broadcast and the networks know this and are slowly adapting.

Walmart has a few stand alone grocery stores where I live. Just food, nothing else. The RedBox in the entryway is always being patronized. As I walk by my thought is--They have to make a quick choice. They just want to see something, anything and maybe they have seen it before. Return it tomorrow and it's $1. Hold on to it and you will pay. I wonder how many RedBox patrons hold the DVD more than one or two days.

Anonymous, the day video game companies start inserting diversity and fairness into their video games is the day they stop seeing 500 million dollars in 24 hour kind of profits. There's already a huge liberal bias in the video game industry vis-a-vis the storylines. Modern Warfare 2 couldn't just be about terrorists or even russians, the "ultimate" manipulator/villain behind the scenes was a US general. The super mario princess in Assassin's Creed turned out to be such a cunt she wouldn't even choose an alpha male who killed hundreds of men just to get to her.

"High speed internet for streaming is in the suburbs, its in the little towns in Wyoming, its already everywhere."
Not even close. There are vast areas of the USA where high speed internet is unavailable, and likely will not be for some time.
I own recreational property in southern Michigan in a county with a population of roughly 50,000. Outside of folks that reside in the county seat, broadband is generally unavailable. Strictly dial-up through Frontier(FTR). Cellular coverage is very spotty; two bars is the record at my farm. Verizon/ATT/Sprint wireless internet is even spottier. Television options are limited to Dish Network and DirecTV.
In rural America, the scenario I've described is hardly unique. You certainly don't have to be in a wilderness area to have no access to high speed internet.

I have been a fan of netflix for a long time. The problem here is lost revenues to broadcast and cable tv (the content producers). They are trying to recoup those revenues and are trying different things. For streaming the tv show producers are keeping their best stuff on subscriber-only servers. hulu is marketing Hulu-plus.
The bandwidth is not the problem. What is there will continue to grow. But the marketplace is uncertain about how they can maximize their revenues from the delivery of content when the old ad-driven revenue models are failing in broadcast and cable TV.

I think it's simply a matter of the physical limitations of the networks. A four-lane highway through a big city will suffer chronic congestion issues, whereas the same sized highway running through a small town will not.
The above seems to show a high level of ignorance of what networks modern networks are capable of.
To give you an example of the capacity of fibre-optics consider, e.g., TAT-14 which is one of the major transatlantic internet links. The design capacity of this is 3.2 terabits / sec. What does it take to deliver such throughput? 8 strands of fibre in a cable around 5cm in diameter.
Yet a single such cable at maximum capacity could simultaneously deliver about 2 million different regular quality Netflix streaming signals. This is also under the assumption that no caching of any sort is done (though Netflix in fact does cache).
It's fairly simple to add additional strands of fibre when installing a cable - and such is commonly done as labor costs by far outweigh costs for the cables involved.
Moore's law also applies to fibre-optic cable meaning that the amount of data that the same cable can carry increases as new transmitters are installed on the ends.
Read up on dark fibre if you're interested.
Roads tend to cost a lot more to add capacity to, whereas for computer networks a whole lot of extra capacity can be added for a small price.
- September 28, 2011 at 5:42 PM
I agree with the fact that streaming will be more costly in the long run. Over time, the cost of DVD/Blu-ray decreases. The initial cost is recovered and Netflix will only have to worry about postage.
With streaming, the cost of bandwidth is a constant and not at all comparable to the price of a postage stamp.
More importantly, however, the quality and variety of streaming is poor. Compare the selection for its current streaming line-up with the selection for its DVDs. It's ridiculous. The streaming content is full of crappy movies. There are occasional blockbuster gems, but not enough to keep a customer paying month after month.
Most of the time, the streaming content is something I would watch when I'm bored. It usually would never be something I would queue and wait for. Unless they change their streaming content to include more mainstream, quality films, then they have no case for keeping customers.
If I lose the DVD option, then I'm gone.

Dave the dweeb - "The above seems to show a high level of ignorance of what networks modern networks are capable of."
Well, excuse my ignorance of the exact details of what the main fiber optic trunks where capable of (I was aware that they are rather high capacity).
However, what you seem to be forgetting is that the term "network" applies the entire route over which data will be transmitted.
Comcast, my provider, does have an extensive fiber optic network…but, the actual residential connections are based on far lower capacity coaxial lines run from nodes connected to the fiber optic network. If a given node is serving a coaxial line to a high number of residence, then it is likely to be operating much closer to it's maximum capacity than, for instance, one that is serving far fewer residences in places that Country Lawyer described as "the sticks". My highway analogy may be far from perfect, but is not completely inaccurate.
And, I found confirmation of what I had heard and suspected that I had experienced Comcast's New Network Management Will Slow Down Heavy Users for Up to 20 Minutes, from Gizmodo. Their designed slow-downs are definitely going to impact the streaming of movies.
I pay extra for Comcast's PowerBoost, which turns out to be limited to the first 20 Mbytes of a given transfer, so it doesn't help with video streaming except for the first few minutes. The reality on the ground is that when I've actually tried to streaming Netflix content (using either a Blu-Ray player or and Xbox 360), not only is the video quality noticeably poorer than DVD, but it does frequently sputter and pixalate. I guess that's what I get for not paying tens-of-thousands to have a fiber optic line run to a node in my home, eh, Dave?
And, while I see Country Lawyers point about streaming recent televised content (he notes 'Person of Interest", which I recorded using TiVo myself). I have, in fact, used Comcast/Xfinity's "On-Demand" to do so myself.
But, for me Netflix' DVD service provided a more unique service. Much of my movie rentals are not of the more recent releases, but of older fare (which Red Box is unlikely to have available), and which Xfinity does not have available in it's limited "On-Demand" library for pay-per-view.
So, while video streaming may well be "the future", I still have issues with price (Xfinity or Amazon), availability, and video quality that will keep me using Qwickster as long as they can manage to stay in business.
Qwicksters viability, freed from the impending failure of streaming-only Netflix, will likely depend on people like me, who have similar issues as do I (and probably do not know a the theoretical capacities of every inch of data transfer media in the network, either).
Okay, Dave, you can now go back to telling me what an idiot I am for not knowing that TAT-14 has a design capacity of 3.2 terabit/sec.

I have Time Warner Cable Road Runner Turbo and stream Netflix through my Xbox all the time with VERY few problems, and I live in a rural area. Maybe Im lucky? Anyway my wife and I never go to video stores (used to go to family video quite a bit) and will never use redbox. If there is a new movie we are in the mood to watch we either rent if from Time Warner on demand or rent if from Zune on xbox. We use Zune more, and streaming HD content have not had any problems except like 1 second of lower quality a few time. Well worth it not having to drive 20 minutes to return discs, IMO.
As a side note, I use to have the Disc option with netflix which I personally never even used much. With the lower price for streaming only I dropped the disc, as I was not willing to pay DOUBLE for netflix. Drasticly increasing their prices is whats going to kill them, plus loss of other groups content.

oh woah are you totally wrong!
Ask any computer savvy person about bandwidth capacity and you'll get an earful. The average consumer is completely ignorant of how limited the capacity really is. Joe Sixpack looks at the Comcast advertisement that promised a 12 Mbps modem so he incorrectly believes he'll be surfing the net at that speed.
The key phrase here is "up to 12 Mbps" so what that means is Comcast will be "pinching the pipes" and most of the time you'll be running at less than 10% of the advertised speeds.
I agree with Whiskey, the capacity simply is NOT there. However Joe Sixpack ignorantly believes bandwidth is like a buffet dinner where you get to eat all you want. That's just not true.

"Streaming does work for the most part and DVDs are over the long haul dead as a business model."
One of the common arguments the pro-streaming crowd likes to make is that advances in technology will make streaming faster in the future. Well that is technically true but what these people fail to realize is that advances in technology will also increase the capacity of optic discs therefore no amount of advances let it be 10 years from now or 30 years from now, streaming will never deliver greater capacity than a physical storage medium.
For example blu-ray replaced DVD.
BDXL will replace blu-ray
and BDXL will be replaced by HVD

Smutty Fitness: Body Types
The Globes – we were all watching them last night and we are all talking about them and reading about them today. Who won what, who wore what, who said what and who did who are common conversations in coffee shops and at the office today. I like to watch the Globes for many reasons but I am always interested in how the celebrities look, not in regards to their dress, hair and makeup but rather how their bodies look in their dresses.
One of the first things I discuss with my clients is work to be the best you can be based on your body type. Last night was a perfect example of this as all of the women who walked the red carpet had been working hard for weeks to look the best they could but all looked very different. It is science. We all have different body types and no matter how hard we try we cannot change it. If we are short we cannot grow taller. If we are broad in the shoulders we always will be. If our hips are wide or our calves are thick it is just how our body is built. If we are athletic we need to embrace our muscle, not try and get rid of it.
There are three body types, which science calls somatotypes: Endomorph, Ectomorph and Mesomorph. Endomorphs tend to be shorter, rounder, and softer and usually have strong legs (think Marilyn Monroe or Sophia Vergara). Endomorphs build muscle easily as well as store body fat.
Ectomorphs (Taylor Swift) are tall and lean with petite bone structure and long muscles. Ectomorphs usually have trouble gaining weight (both body fat and muscle) and due to a faster metabolism tend to be hungry all the time.
Mesomorphs have an athletic frame (Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lawrence) and tend to have broader shoulders with a smaller waist.
We cannot change the somatotypes that science gave us when we were born. If you are endomorphic you will always be endomorphic. I can NEVER look like Taylor Swift or Sofia Vergara, it is just not possible, but I could look like Cameron Diaz (if I worked really hard that is).
Understanding your body type will help you determine the best you can possibly look as well as how to structure your workouts. For example, if you lean towards an endomorphic body type then you will want to focus on a clean diet, cardio and endurance training to prevent you from becoming too heavy or bulky. If your body type is more on the ectomorphic side then a higher calorie diet and a weight training program with low intensity cardio would be best. If your body type is closer to mesomorphic then you will want to focus on body weight exercises (push ups, planks, yoga and Pilates) and moderate cardio to keep your athletic frame long and lean.
Understanding your body type will make sure you are not putting unrealistic expectations on yourself as well as prevent you from comparing yourself to your best friend who can eat a dozen cookies without gaining a pound while your skinny jeans become tighter just from looking at one.

Problems with an HP Deskjet 310 [SOLVED]
Hi everyone. I'm kind of a new full time user of Linux and never have set up a machine so easily as I have with the Puppy Distro.
I'm so pleased with how fast it is, how easy it was to set up but I'm stuck on the printer biz.
I've got this great little portable printer a Deskjet 310. I know its rather ancient history to most of you but it runs on batteries and fits in my laptop bag. I've been using it for? Many years and can't find anything like it.
I had an awful time getting CUPs to not just hang when I clicked setting up new printers.
Anyway, from a previous message I downloaded the Pup files to set up CUPS over again (My distro btw is 4.30) and it (AT LEAST) lets me set up a printer. I've got an old parrallel cable tried that nothing...
I've got a USB to parrallel cable and that seemed to at least work well enough to blink the busy light but nothing on the test page print. No errors nothing.
After I restarted my machine it doesn't even do that... SIGH...
Is there some diagnostic I ought to try?
Is there a specific driver that mentions the Deskjet 310? I've been trying similar models like the 350 and 400.
Any "idiot / moron" guide to starting this over from scratch that I should try? Any help SO greatly appreciated!
- James

Hmmm .....
HP DJ310 ... nice ... they don't make printers like these anymore ....
For the DJ310, if I may :
1. Check your parallel cable. Just make sure its still good.
2. Connect your printer to your machine and turn it on. To have
proper detection, this should be done before booting up puppy.
3. DJ310 uses pcl3 ... get the ppd from
4. Put the .ppd into
5. Get the patched foomatic script
, if you're using puppy430.
If you want to know more about foomatic issue, read about it
The patched script is required when printing with foo-rip produces nothing.
The patched foo-rip does not apply to any of puppy4.2 series.
6. Open your browser and add your printer at http://localhost:631/
7. DJ310 uses the parallel interface, so the uri should be
If you've upgraded to CUPS-1.3.x, the parallel printer will be auto-detected.
8. You should use
HP DJ310 Foomatic/pcl3
as your driver.
9. Print a test page after setting your printer.
10. If it still doesn't print, post the error logs for further assistance.

Sorry to be such a putz. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your efforts.
I pulled out the printer cable from a working machine and swapped it. Restarted the machine and selected the HP Deskjet 310. *This is the first time its been shown as an option however! It does not seem to autodetect it however.
Selected the printer port and tried print a test page. Nothing seems to happen. When I click "JOBS" I get "job aborted. Not by my action so? As to which CUPs version. I clicked on software and was told about downloading the source to a new version. In the tab I see it says CUPS Ver 1.1.13? I did a distro with open office and truecrypt that was ver 4.20 of Puppy then upgraded but? Perhapes thats what I'll try next. If I can find the CUP .pup?
I know this is a very ancient printer that I can print ASCII text to. Is it easy enough to make up a text file and pipe it to see if its even "on" and working that way? As to logs. I'm so out of the loop I've no clue where to search for those but would be very pleased to know!

Tried the cable in question on another machine and it worked ok. I tried doing the following.
cat biteme.txt > LPT1
Nothing! No bust lite blinking nothing. I think at the low level I'm in trouble? Perhapes the bios has the port "dead"? Or?! Is there a simple linux way to see what ports if any are active?
Or? Is it even LPT1? In linux is it ? PAR0? or ?

I wish I was updating you with better news. I took the cable tried it on another computer it worked ok. Tooks its cable stretched it over to the Deskjet310 and tried printing and got a good test page. Looked at my Bios setting and the LPT was set to EPP I tried changing it to "Standard" and still nothing with I try to print TEST PAGE or if I cat a text file to lpt1.
Really really making me crazy! Everything else in Puppy was so "automatic" and easy to set up.
Anyhow, I do appreciate the moral support.

That confirms the printer and cable is in good shape ... now, we'll just have to tinker a bit with puppy ...
Have your printer turned on first, then boot up puppy, open a terminal and do this to see if it detects your printer :
# /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
If nothing came out, then maybe we have a port related issue. If the model is printed out, then its probably just some mis-setting somewhere ...
also, could you kindly provide the parallel port module list ? ex:
# lsmod | grep -E 'parp|lp'

I must have puped too many new files and munged my computer so... I formatted and started from scratch. Tried the previous suggestions and installed the printer but got to the point of the "test page" and it seems to go into the bit bucket.
direct parallel:/dev/lp0 "Unknown" "Parallel Port #1"
lsmod | grep -E 'parp|lp'
lp 9476 0
parport_pc 29828 1
parport 34508 2 lp,parport_pc
MyCUPS is the supplied version

I upgraded my CUPs to the 1.3.11 rev and reinstalled the Deskjet 310. When I try to print a test page it shows the State as STOPPED yet I didn't do anything to stop it?
This is really a pain to the brain.

Yes, I tied that in my first stab at trying to sort this out. I think I fiddled with a few too many things as for reasons now unknown I munged my system so X wouldn't start from HD anymore. I ended up starting from scratch with the 4.30 distro trying to set up printing from that using just the PCL3 ppd and the Deskjet310 drivers. Nothing. So I upgraded to cups 1.3.11 and tried reloading the drivers there. Now, I get the message "Stopped" in the state from JOBs which I think is probably the worst error message I've seen in a while. WHO stopped it? Not me? Is this the printer stopped because its failed? If so why???
Anyhow, I know frustration sets in early for new folks. My logic maybe flawed.
Starting from scratch was not my choice but I think it makes sense. Although its a royal pain getting everything working the way I like it. Like Firefox not having fonts that are micro sized? How did I manage to goof that up? I have no clue.
Cups, PCl3 etc all seem rather complex. I know this printer takes straight ascii and perhapes I need to verify if the physical connections work? Is there a simple pipe command I can use such as test.txt > lpt1 in DOS that would work from the CLI? And if that does not work since I've verified that this cable and this printer do work on my Windoze 2k machine? At least I'll know if the printer port is working at some low level.
I do have to say that everything else in Linux seems so wonderfully "automatic" except printing. Anyway, Dave and Patriot others. I really do appreciate your helping me try to punch my way out of this paper bag.

Ok, I did some Googling and learned how pipes work on Linux. I also got it into my pointy head the names of some of the devices.
So, I opened a terminal and poked in
echo -en "blah\f\r" > /dev/lp0
and a page with the great words of count dracula popped out of my printer! So, the printer, the cable, the port and the computer all work. Is there some form of diagnostics for this jumble of software? I hope!?
Or perhaps what I'm looking for is an idea of whats going on under the hood.
Is the whole idea that there be a server running? Is that what CUPs is? And if we have it responding to me bothering it from the WEB what parts of it can we know work and from it what parts can we test? Is the PCL3 "machine" a part of the CUPs "server" assuming thats what it is? And can it be poked to see if its alive?
Sorry for the dumbness level of these questions. I've been in many other computer worlds but not a ton of Unix / Linux time.
Because at this point I have zero clue what to do.

Another update. I thought hard about how the data from CUPs was going and tried to set it to print to /dev/lp0 I got a error about this not being allowed and to fiddle with cupsd.conf if I REALLY wanted to do this. Ok, so.... Am I way off track? Is this a really bad idea? And if not how do I jiggle cupsd.conf to allow this?

Ok, I found the error logs for cups.
I cut and pasted the last part of this *Actions when I tried to print the test page"
This Undefined in get? Still makes zero sense to me and google is no help in finding an answer.
How do I change the loglevel to get more debug information?
It seems I have filter errors. What filter are we talking about? Do I need some form of translation to go from this test page to PS? And then PS to PCL3? Or?

A guide to the best Hebrew high school in North America
The Jewish community in North America is very influential and is very concerned about the traditional education of its children. The good thing with Jews is that they are very attached to their roots. Whether they are in Israel or in North America the element of attachment can be easily witnessed.
In such circumstances they try very hard to find the very best Hebrew high school for their young ones and at times spend a lot of money on it too. Finding a good Hebrew school in the North America is not that cumbersome. Thanks to the presence of a number of Jews in this part of the world. All you need to know is where to look and you will be easily able to find what you desire.
The best place to start is from the local Jewish community. The Jews living in the area have very strong ties with each other and they can help out very easily. Not only can they provide the details of the best schools but also can offer some assistance in taking admissions. Now suppose by any case they are not able to help, you don't have to get disheartened. There is the internet that is for the rescue.
The internet has the information you are looking for. Just do searches regarding the best Hebrew high school in North America and it will give you all the answers relevant to the query. Generally according to the internet the best Hebrew schools are in Los Angeles California. This might be true and might not be true. You need to double check the information that is posted on the internet. You can do it by either visiting the school personally or by asking a friend or relative there to find it out for you.
Even if you are one of those people who do not believe in the internet, you have one more option that is equally effective. Try the local education councilor office. They normally have the most updated data that is based on results, faculty and the facility along with the list of extracurricular activities these schools have to offer. Do a detailed discussion with them, do apple to apple comparisons and in the end you would have found out the best Hebrew high school in North America that not only suits you but is also selected by your choice after a detailed discussion with a professional.

Black Bean Dip
28 oz canned black beans, drained
1 small onion, sliced
3 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon plain yogurt (optional*)
1 tablespoon lime juice*
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pour all ingredients into a food processor (or blender) and pulse until you achieve your desired consistency. Pretty smooth but with the odd whole bean is nice.
Excellent on: pita, tortilla chips, raw veggies or used in place of refried beans.
*Leave this out for a thicker dip or if you are vegan or just don't like yogurt! It adds a nice tang though.
**I used key limes I had leftover from making pie, but juice from a regular lime is fine
My thoughts:
I saw a jar of prepared black bean dip at Wegman's and I thought I could probably make a better version at home using fresher ingredients, i.e. fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder in the ingredients list, fresh onion instead of dehydrated. So I came up with this recipe. It came out well, and it's low fat. Fat free if you don't add the yogurt. I think it would be good with a little fresh corn stirred in after you blend it for some texture interest. Unfortunately it's the depths of Winter here so I'll have to make it again in Spring to find out.

Sounds really good. We had a black bean dip at Christmas when we were in BC. I'd like to try this one with the corn.ReplyDelete
This sounds good - printing out to make tomorrow...ReplyDelete
Chris's sister gave us this bean dip for Christmas that looked promising, but in reality was completely grody. It tasted like vinegar. Now, I like vinegar in some circumstances, but not in my bean dip. Your recipe looks much better.ReplyDelete

I've signed up to be a 1940 Blog Ambassador, to help promote the US Census Community Project. It's being sponsored by Archives.com, FamilySearch and findmypast.com in conjunction with society sponsors, the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG); the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS); and the National Genealogical Society (NGS).
To you non-genealogists reading this, let me explain what will happen on April 2, 2012: The National Archives will release the 1940 US Census. Each census is kept private for 72 years, so the release of a census is a Very Big Deal to those of us interested in family history. The release of THIS census in particular is an even bigger deal, because most of us know someone who was listed on it. The US Census is a snapshot of our nation at a critical time in history. We were pulling out of the Great Depression even as we were becoming embroiled in world events. Soon the nation would go to war.
The 1940 census has more than historic significance. Today's genealogists are versed in technology. We're used to visiting websites, searching indices, and downloading tons of information. So the pairing of family historians and electronic wizardry has created a great opportunity, because the 1940 US Census will be available as free digital images. But it does not yet have an index, which means searching page by page (you can narrow it down if you know your ancestor's address in 1940). And that's where genealogists and genealogical societies come in. We have an opportunity to create that index, working together. You can help index from your own computer, tablet, etc. Talk about a grass-roots effort, this is it!
Individual genealogists, as well as genealogical societies, are mobilizing and preparing for the task at hand. It requires a simple program download — and watching a few tutorials will help — but essentially, anyone can do it, and everyone is needed. The more willing hands, the quicker the index is created and posted for everyone to use.
I've downloaded the indexing program; watched a tutorial or two; and listened to a FamilySearch staffer explain the indexing process at the 2011 FGS Conference in Springfield. But I haven't actually done any indexing yet. I'm newsletter editor for the Indiana Genealogical Society, which plans to mobilize its members to attack - er, INDEX, the state of Indiana. How about helping coordinate efforts where you live?
Although we'll have to wait until April 2 to start indexing the 1940 US Census, we can become familiar with the process by assisting in other indexing projects being undertaken by FamilySearch. You can sign up to index by visiting http://the1940census.com/ There is a link at the top of the page where societies can get more information on how to participate.
In future posts, I'll describe my indexing experiences; give you a sense of the United States in 1940; talk about what one can find on the 1940, and much more. It's 39 days and counting... stay tuned, and join in.

SEATTLE – While supporters and critics of the proposed Columbia River Crossing transit project continue to debate how residents will pay for travel between Portland and Vancouver, a recent poll from Northwest-based PEMCO Insurance reveals that one in three drivers in that area aren't planning to change their route or mode of transportation despite potential tolls that will help partially finance the project.
According to the poll, as many as 33 percent of all drivers polled in Clark County and Portland say they won't change their commuting behaviors, like opting to drive a different route, carpooling, moving their residence, or riding the bus more often to avoid paying tolls that could be mandated for Interstate 5 travelers between Vancouver, Wash., and Portland, Ore.
Of the drivers in Clark County and the Portland metro area who say they ever use the existing I-5 bridge that currently connects the two communities, 28 percent say they would not adjust their route or commuting behaviors to avoid the toll.
About two out of five drivers (41 percent) in Portland say that even with a toll, they would use the Columbia River Crossing just as often as they do now. Meanwhile, nearly two-thirds of Clark County drivers (65 percent) – who currently use the I-5 bridge more often than their Portland neighbors – say they'll use the bridge less often.
"We wonder if Clark County drivers might resemble their Washington neighbors to the north who pay tolls to cross SR 520 and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. In the Puget Sound area, we found that although drivers said they intended to change their driving patterns once the 520 tolls took effect, many continued to use the bridge as frequently as before," said Jon Osterberg, PEMCO spokesperson.
The Columbia River Crossing project proposes to update the existing bridge that connects Vancouver, Wash., and Portland, improving structural stability, traffic congestion, cyclist and pedestrian accessibility, and it could introduce a light rail system. To finance the project, proposed tolls – in addition to state and federal funding – would charge drivers on a sliding scale depending on the time of day.
The PEMCO poll finds that very few drivers in either state say they would change how they travel in response to the impending toll. Only 12 percent said they'd carpool more often, and even fewer – just 9 percent – said they would ride the bus more frequently.
A majority, however – 77 percent of Clark County drivers and 52 percent of Portlanders – say they intend to use I-205 instead, which is not tolled, to avoid I-5 once its bridge tolls are implemented.
"With so many drivers saying they'll divert their route, it's likely that I-205 would become congested. Perhaps more drivers will choose convenience over savings and end up joining the 33 percent who plan to stay their course despite the toll. We'll continue to track opinions as the project continues," Osterberg said.
To learn more about the PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll and to view a summary of the results, visit www.pemco.com/poll, where the public is invited to take an informal version of the poll and see how their own responses compare with those collected by FBK Research of Seattle in April 2012.
About the PEMCO Insurance Northwest PollPEMCO Insurance commissioned this independent survey that asked Washington and Oregon drivers several questions about driving habits and attitudes toward current Northwest issues. The sample size, 400 respondents in the Portland metro area and 52 respondents in Clark County, yields an accuracy of +/- 5.0 and +/- 13.9 percent (respectively) at the 95 percent confidence level. In other words, if this study were conducted 100 times, in 95 instances the data will not vary by more than the associated error range.
About PEMCO InsurancePEMCO Insurance, established in 1949, is a Seattle-based provider of auto, home, boat, and umbrella insurance to Northwest residents. PEMCO Insurance is sold by community agents throughout the region and through PEMCO offices. For more information, visit www.pemco.com.

Jeffrey Turner, MD, Medical Oncologist, Joins Prostate Oncology Specialists in Marina del Rey, CA.MARINA DEL REY, Ca., December 31, 2012 - Prostate Oncology Specialists is pleased to announce that Jeffrey Turner, MD has joined the prostate cancer specialist team. Dr. Turner is a board-certified internist and medical oncologist and will be specializing exclusively in prostate cancer with Mark Scholz and Richard Lam. Dr. Turner has been specializing in prostate cancer since 2009. He graduated cum laude from USC. Thereafter, he worked in research at UCLA studying infectious disease and molecular biology. He earned his medical degree in Canada at Memorial University of Newfoundland and completed his internal medicine residency at the University of British Columbia and fellowship in medical oncology at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Turner has published several articles on urologic cancers with an emphasis on prostate cancer. He is a sub-investigator of a number of ongoing prostate cancer clinical trials.
Dr. Mark Scholz, Medical Director of Prostate Oncology Specialists commented, "Dr. Turner joins us during a time when the number of new prostate cancer treatments is exploding. He will add his expertise and knowledge to help patients make informed decisions. In 2012, we conducted clinical trials with Zytiga and Xtandi, agents that are now FDA approved. We are presently evaluating new agents such as Curstersin, XL-184 and Ipilimumab in combination with Provenge. We are happy to welcome a talented new member to the team who is familiar with all the many new treatment options for patients—this also includes Active Surveillance which is rapidly gaining acceptance as a viable treatment for prostate cancer."Active Surveillance remains very popular given the alternative risk of permanent side-effects from surgery, radiation, or cryotherapy. Dr. Turner added, "With the dramatic evolution of today's imaging techniques (including color Doppler ultrasound and MRI), Active Surveillance is best for men with Gleason 6, PSA<10, and clinical stage less than or equal to T2a. Due to the fact that men with Gleason 6 prostate cancer have an incredibly low risk of mortality, Active Surveillance should remain a strong alternative."
As skilled leaders in treating prostate cancer, our medical oncologists use PSA monitoring and color Doppler scanning to accurately monitor men on Active Surveillance. These techniques can detect early disease progression in men who may need to pursue treatment intervention.

Happy Hands: What's This is one of her holiday collection, and it's a glitter polish made up of sky blue holo square glitter along with smaller silver and light blue glitter, and some white hex glitter. It's amazingly shiny.
I layered it over Color Club: Take me to your Chateau :)
This is actually just 1 coat of What's This -- although I did want a few more white glitters so I fished them out and stuck them on. Sparkly, pretty and wintry! Hard to take a picture of because of the shininess, trust me it's more gorgeous in person :D

According to a court filing made public yesterday, Steve Jobs threatened Palm with a patent lawsuit in order to stop them from attempting to hire employees away from Apple. The communications between then-Palm CEO Edward Colligan and Jobs took place in 2007. The emails became public as part of a civil action brought against Apple, Google, Intel by five workers that alleged that these companies illegally conspired to end competition for one another's employees. The threat from Jobs didn't phase Colligan. According to Reuters:
Colligan told Jobs that the plan was "likely illegal," and that Palm was not "intimidated" by the threat.
"If you choose the litigation route, we can respond with our own claims based on patent assets, but I don't think litigation is the answer," he said.
We knew most of this before, but the patent threat is new. No poaching deals are potentially illegal as they tend to lead to lower wages for workers because no other company in their field will hire them away from their current position, giving them little or no leverage to negotiate better salaries and benefits.
Apple, Google, Adobe, Intel, Intuit Inc. and Walt Disney Co's Pixar all settled with the US Justice Department in 2010 in order to avoid prosecution over these agreements. Since the current legal action is civil, these companies may still be liable. Judge Lucy Koh -- yes, the same Lucy Koh as the Apple vs Samsung trial -- is currently considering whether or not to allow the lawsuit to proceed as a class action, which gives the plaintiff's a chance to receive a larger settlement should they win.
So what do you think, is business just business, or did Apple and Steve Jobs cross the line?

Molly Brown Wins ICMA Board of Regents CMA Silver Medal Award
Molly Brown Wins ICMA Board of Regents CMA Silver Medal Award
Not only has Molly Brown recently passed the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam, which is an exam as rigorous as the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam, but she also recently found that she earned the second highest score in the country. With that score, she earned a silver medal from the Institute of Certified Managerial Accountants (ICMA).
"A number of my colleagues in the School of Accounting are Certified Management Accountants, and obtaining the CMA certification has been a goal of mine since I began teaching Cost Accounting five years ago," Molly says. "However, it seemed difficult to carve out the time necessary to adequately prepare for the exam. Last fall, I finally committed to sitting for the exam during the January/February testing window. I took the exam, which is given in two four-hour parts, in Richmond in February. I studied on my own over winter break, concentrating on the finance and economics topics that I do not teach in my managerial and cost accounting courses.
"I was happy to find out in April that I had passed both parts, but was shocked this week to find out that I had won the silver medal. Every one of the topics covered in the CMA exam is taught in the courses our undergraduate accounting majors take, and I intend to use my experience taking the exam to encourage my students to seek CMA certification in addition to CPA certification," Molly says.
"Although the majority of our graduates begin their careers in public accounting, many of them will take jobs in industry within several years of graduation, and the CMA title will help them stand out in the job market," she adds.
Molly will be presented with the award during IMA's 95th Annual Conference & Exposition in Minneapolis, Minn. from June 21-25, 2014.

Jeffrey Rutenbeck, dean, American University School of
Communication, helped unveil the improved American University's School
of Communication, featuring a range of new technology like high-tech
cameras and a 4K projector.
A new collaboration with Sony is bringing high-definition broadcast equipment like business projectors and studio cameras to American University's Media Innovation Lab, as part of an overhaul of the AU School of Communication.
As part of the department's recent upgrade and consolidation, it shrunk its presence from six spaces across campus into one. The centerpiece is the newly restored McKinley Building, which is now equipped with theaters for general lecture hall presentations as well as 10 interactive classrooms, six computer labs, and both live event and video production studios. A series of events featuring guest speakers, including cinematographer Claudio Miranda, kicked off the building's opening.
The new equipment installed at the school includes:
"American University is positioning itself at the forefront of technology and education," said Theresa Alesso, vice president of business-to-business applications at Sony Electronics' Professional Solutions of America group in a statement. "Having access to state-of-the-art HD production equipment--the same equipment used by professionals today--makes the students' educational experience more dynamic and relevant. We are excited and proud to be working with American University as they continue to develop the careers of media professionals."

AMERICUS, Ga. – On a Halloween Night that helped commemorate their first-ever PBC Division title and NCAA Division II Tournament appearance, the Georgia Southwestern Hurricanes brought a victorious effort to Monday night's exhibition against Baseline USA. A tight first half gave way in the second half as the Hurricanes settled for a 69-57 win.
GSW was led by reigning PBC Player of the Year, Phillip Brown, who tallied 22 points to go along with his six rebounds. He was one of four players in double figures in scoring for the Blue & Gold, which included Colin Slotter (16 points), newcomer Milos Kleut (13 points) and Evan Mobley (12 points).
The first half was a tight affair that saw several lead changes with Georgia Southwestern holding on to a single digit lead for a majority of the game's first twenty minutes. The Hurricanes headed into the break with a 30-27 lead.
The second half offense was paced by Phillip Brown who scored 14 of his 22 in the second frame. Much like the entire evening, the second half offense involved transfer point guard Marlon Rivera. Rivera had four of his seven assists in the half. He finished the game without scoring but tallied an impressive nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
Michael Morton of Baseline USA led the squad with 19 points and led all players with 11 rebounds. Mike Crain was the only other Baseline USA member to register double-digit points with 13.
The Hurricanes will look ahead to their final exhibition tune-up as they head to Tallahassee to take on the Florida State Seminoles. FSU, fresh off their "Sweet 16" NCAA Tournament appearance will host the Hurricanes at 7:00 pm on Monday, November 7th at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
