Iron Man 3
Here's the first official synopsis, which unsurprisingly is fairly light on specific details but at least gives some hints of Tony Stark's character arc:
Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
Justice League
Although Warner Bros.'s development of non-animated, non-Nolan superheroes continues to hover somewhere between fiasco and shambles, that apparently won't stop the studio from going ahead with their Justice League movie. What's more, Warner Bros. is reportedly targeting a release date that puts it in direct competition with the only movie even somewhat like it: Marvel's Avengers 2, which will likely have the advantage of actually being, you know, good. The plan is reportedly to shoot the film next year and release it in the summer of 2015, which seems to leave tons of time — including all of 2014 — for post-production, which probably means the movie will feature an ungodly amount of CGI and 3D. So just like Green Lantern, basically. Yeah... this is going to end well. [Los Angeles Times]
Dawn of the Planet of Apes
Live Free or Die Hard and Total Recall writer Mark Bomback has reportedly been brought in to do a rewrite of Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver's screenplay. Bomback, who previously did rewrite work on Rise of the Planet of the Apes, was reportedly hired as part of the transition process from original director Rupert Wyatt to Let Me In and Cloverfield's Matt Reeves, who is taking over directorial duties for the sequel. [Heat Vision]
Ghostbusters 3
The sequel absolutely nobody asked for apparently now exists outside Dan Aykroyd's fevered imagination, as a new report on Ivan Reitman's upcoming directorial slate indicates he will be working on Ghostbusters 3 in the summer of 2013. [Deadline]
Wreck-It Ralph
Here's an in-universe commercial for the movie's video game Hero's Duty.
Game of Thrones
Here's a bunch of awesome set photos from Essaouira, Morocco, which appears to be the site of filming primarily for Slaver's Bay scenes, but also a few Kings Landing sequences as well. Among other things, you can catch your first glimpse of the unsullied and a few new characters, including Kraznys, Missandei and Arstan. (Well, Arstan isn't exactly new, but anyway.) Also, Ser Meryn Trant is there, but that's probably one of the King's Landing sequences. Check out the links for more on what's going on in the photos, and there are tons more photos at the first link. [Mohamed Amine Lakaab via Westeros and Comic Book Movie]
The Walking Dead
Here's a promo for this Sunday's episode, "Sick."
Here are short descriptions for the following three episodes:
Episode 3.03 - Walk With Me
Andrea and Michonne find a new community of survivors; a decision must be made.
Episode 3.04 - Killer Within
The group is severed, placing lives in jeopardy; Merle has a request for the Governor.
Episode 3.05 - Say the Word
Rick struggles after another loss; Michonne is suspicious of the Governor.
Creator Eric Kripke reveals that the gang will finally find Danny in the tenth episode, and he also previews the big reunion between Miles and Monroe:
"They still really love each other. When they see each other, they're not really sure if they're going to kill each other or hug each other. [Their past is] very tragic, emotional and Cain-and-Abel."
The eleventh episode will also introduce a pair of rebels: McClusky, described as "one of the gang's leaders who is iron-tough and has a kind but commanding presence", and Sanborn, "a tense scientist who loves to build intricate weaponry." [E! Online]
An upcoming episode will reportedly introduce the Wesen equivalent of Bonnie and Clyde in the form of Cole and Krystal, a pair of scorpion-like creatures known as Istsa Sitan that commit robberies and generally act all vicious together. [E! Online]
Another report suggests these characters will appear in the fourteenth episode, and it's reportedly called "Natural Born Wesen." [SpoilerTV]
Once Upon a Time
Here are four sneak peeks for this Sunday's episode, "The Crocodile."
Here's a short description for the seventh episode, "Child of the Moon":
Ruby's fear about turning into a wolf is confirmed when she becomes the prime suspect for a vicious murder; Leroy finds treasure in a Storybrooke mine that could help Emma and Mary Margaret.
Co-creator Adam Horowitz revealed that episodes eight and nine are called "Into the Deep" and "Queen of Hearts", respectively. [SpoilerTV]
American Horror Story: Asylum
Here's a promo for next week's episode, "Tricks and Treats."
Co-creator Ryan Murphy hints at what's ahead this season, starting with the search for Alma:
continues for the whole season. It's an interesting idea, which is for the audience basically to find out were the aliens real or were they all in his mind? We studied a lot about alien abductions, particularly the year we're writing about. We say in the first episode that 1964 was a very important year in which religion and science collided. Right around the time of the space program is when a lot of people claimed alien abduction theories. I've always been obsessed with alien abduction theories because one of my best friends tells me over and over again that she was abducted and experimented on. So it's a fascinating thing to write about.
We saw the alien limbs. But will we see its face?
Yes. We overshot the s- out of it. What we did last year with the infantata is you saw it for literally like 3 frames. It's a very similar experience where we don't show many of the creatures in the woods which are called Raspers. We don't show too much. We want you to get invested in the story but we do show more.
Murphy also confirms that Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine isn't leaving the show anytime soon, despite the rather horrible mishap that befalls him in the premiere:
Yes, he is going to be in a bunch of episodes. I mean, it's clear after the first episode that he's in a bad place. I wanted a big star in that. We actually wrote it for him. He did such a great job. He has this great movie star charisma. But what Janet Leigh was to Psycho, Adam is to this season of American Horror Story. He does not perish as quickly as anybody. And maybe he lives - I'm not saying anything... The 2012 stuff is not in every episode. We skip around a little bit. But it's definitely part of the storytelling engine and all designed to completely wrap up in the very last episode and the very last scene. I think it's cool to tell a very modern story within a period frame work. I love the new Briarcliff dissolving into the old Briarcliff.
There's plenty more at the link. For some more teasers about what's coming up next, check out here and here. [EW]
Here's a promo for next Wednesday's episode, "Bitten."

They guys discover an "avenging ghost" is responsible for the murders and they need to find the source before the killings starts again.
Here's a promo for the next episode, "Lone Gunman."

McQueen), Matt (Zach Roerig) and April (guest star Grace Phipps) hostage at the Grill, Stefan and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) have a serious disagreement about the best course of action, and Elena (Nina Dobrev) is again caught between the two brothers. The situation quickly turns violent when Klaus sends one of his hybrids, Dean (guest star Blake Hood, "The Young and the Restless") to stand up to Connor. Caroline (Candice Accola) is surprised to find Hayley (guest star Phoebe Tonkin) at the Lockwood mansion. Meanwhile, Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay) works with Bonnie (Kat Graham) to help her get past her fear and guilt.
Here's the description for the fourth series premiere:
Misfits is back for the fourth series and new gang members Finn and Jess are zipping up those iconic orange jumpsuits for their first day of community service and meeting their probation worker... or is it their new probation worker? Things become stranger still when a man stumbles into the community centre with a briefcase and a power that infects them all. The truth unravels in a series of tense flashbacks and it's soon clear to Finn and Jess that there's more to community service than scrubbing off graffiti and picking up litter...

I guess it's that complicated?
Wow that's got it covered. Will u cover Pro and cons of export options? And may be give some best options.
Proof watching must be as tricky as proof reading your own work.
Watch it backwards. It's what you're supposed to do when proof reading. Catches things like: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the
the plain."
Holy crap! That's ambitious.
@Stargazer54 Ambitious? It's done, uploaded and just waiting for me to take it off "Private." ;-) But Friday is my chosen publishing day. :-)
Unlike last week I actually got in a proof-listen, and, well, I cut off a "T" at the end of one word which doesn't bother me enough to deal with another render. ;-)
Fun trivia--you can count every time I was interrupted by my lovely wife, or one of the fuzzy bastard cats by the visible desktop clock in the lower right hand corner. In terms of "real time," over four hours elapsed during recording to generate 95 minutes of screen recording edited into a 40 minute tutorial.
Grab your notepads, guys, or use your YouTube downloader of choice. After listening to it, it's a very information dense tutorial and there's a lot of miscellaneous tips in there. Those of you've been around for awhile are going to see that I hit SO DAMN MANY of the commonly asked and re-asked questions...
@Hitfilm Sensei I know you've said you don't like plugging you own videos that much? I really don't either--self promotion sucks--but I know in the future a lot of newer user questions are going to be answered with "Here, watch this at time >x<, then watch the rest. :-)"
I'll be counting on you wonderful people for feedback if there's anything I can do to refine the style--too fast, too slow, hate the music, maybe break things up into smaller videos*... I think this one has a better flow than the previous one. It's a tighter outline, and I'm finally over than damn cold.
*I'd resist breaking things into smaller videos. A) I'd have to record a lot more intro/outro stuff, I think that having to say "Watch part 2, 3, and 4" would break up the flow of data.
@Stargazer meh--if I get lucky I'll attract enough views to get a few hundred out of Youtube here and there. ;-) never enough to pay myself my usual rate. S'not why I'm doing it. :-)
@Andersen01498 at 32:25 - HF 2017 Mp4 Export Settings...
@Triem23 here in the UK it's Friday already... does that mean we get to see the next tutorial early?
I admire your dedication, to create such a complete and thorough series of tutorials. But I must admit, some part of me suspects that this project of yours may turn out to be like painting the Forth Bridge...
@JMcAllister Yeah, well... Here's hoping that HF 2018 doesn't make TOO much of this series obsolete. FxHome's done that to me before ;-) In fact, I almost did the Import/Export tutorial three weeks ago, but ended up doing the Scopes tutorials for FxHome instead! Good thing, since Update #2 dropped in the meantime and added some major new functionality to the Export Queue!
I've planned many a tutorial, and I have a folder full of the aborted ones--I had a workaround for getting 3D models to work as particle textures in HF2U--and frickin HF3P came out and allowed 3D models as particle textures! I was in the finishing stages of a 3D models tutorial for HF3P and lo and behold, HF4P added a whole new PBR shader model!
With the current series, I don't expect fundamental changes to the interface, and i don't expect fundamental changes to import/export in HF 2018. If they add more codecs (for example), then that becomes the 2018 addendum.
I personally think that last week's video flowed very well. It wasn't too fast to cause me to have to stop and back up, but it wasn't too slow where I found myself looking at the time left bar. I also think it is a good idea to have a single video to point to for usually asked questions. A person watches the part that answers their question and then they think, hmmm. maybe I should watch the whole thing. It's sort of like taking a class on Hitfilm, except the lecture has been prerecorded. Taking notes while watching is definitely the best way to go. I look forward to tomorrow's video!
@Andersen01498 FxHome has publicly stated they are on a one year development cycle. HF3 came out in Nov, 2014. HF4 came out in Nov, 2015. Hitfilm 2017 came out in Nov. 2016. It's a high probability Hitfilm 2018 will be out in Nov. FxHome may always change their release cycle (HF2 to HF3 was two years), but it's a good bet.
Express 3, and 4 both released about 6 months after their respective Pros.
To clarify, Mods do not work for FxHome. We're users who volunteer whatever time we spend on the forums. I have no inside information on product development or release cycles, and any projections I (we) make are educated guesses, at best.
@Triem23 I'm fairly new to the Hitfilm universe, I started out on Hitfilm pro and then I upgraded to Hitfilm 2017, My question is, is it worth upgrading every year?
@Andersen01498 depends on the user and what they do. You don't have to upgrade every year, and FxHome always offers discounted upgrades to owners of previous versions. Pro 2017 was an overall great upgrade for everyone. HF4 was a great upgrade for 3D guys, less so for mograph. The Let's Play/game vid/vlogger crowd is probably always fine on Express. We'll have to wait and see what the next major revision holds.
@Triem23 I am currently an animation student and hitfilm 2017 has been great for my 2d animations especially when adding camera movement

TAMPA, Fla. — They hail from the Broadway stage, the control rooms of NBC and the design studios that created sleek sets for Oprah Winfrey and Jon Stewart.
Their craft is slick packaging and eye candy that audiences consume by the millions.
Their latest project? Selling the Mitt Romney story in prime time.
Working from makeshift offices at a hockey arena here, a team of Romney advisers, producers and designers has been staging and scripting a program for the Republican National Convention that they say they hope will accomplish something a year of campaigning has failed to do: paint a full and revealing portrait of who Mitt Romney is.
Instead of glossing over Mr. Romney's career as a private equity executive, they will highlight it in convention videos and speeches as the kind of experience that has prepared him to be the economic steward the country needs.
And rather than shy away from Mr. Romney's faith, as some campaign aides have argued he should, they have decided to embrace it. On the night Mr. Romney will address the convention, a member of the Mormon Church will deliver the invocation. On Sunday, this new approach was apparent as Mr. Romney invited reporters to join him at church services.
The campaign aides are determined to overcome perceptions that Mr. Romney is stiff, aloof and distant. So they have built one of the most intricate set pieces ever designed for a convention — a $2.5 million Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired theatrical stage. From its dark-wood finish to the brightly glowing high-resolution screens in the rafters that look like skylights, every aspect of the stage has been designed to convey warmth, approachability and openness.
Preparing for the Republican Convention
11 Photos
View Slide Show ›
Conventions no longer command the kind of public attention they once did, and their very slickness can conspire against addressing the kinds of perception problems Mr. Romney faces. So one recent morning as Mr. Romney's image makers — a team that includes many people who have never worked on a political convention before — scurried around on the sawdust-covered floor of the Tampa Bay Times Forum, they said an essential part of conveying who their candidate is will depend on making the four days of programming feel nothing like a convention at all.
"Usually the convention is so straight and staid and symmetrical, even-Steven," said Eddie Knasiak, one of the convention co-designers whose credits include projects for Ms. Winfrey, Martha Stewart and MTV. "We were conscious of trying to make it not seem grandiose. We wanted it to seem inclusive, warm. It's not like anything you've seen at a convention before."
The convention hall will have two musical stages — one for surprise acts and another for the house band, which will be led by G. E. Smith, the former musical director for "Saturday Night Live" and guitarist for Hall & Oates.
To serve as executive producer, the Republican Party brought in Phil Alongi, a former politics producer with NBC News. Mr. Alongi has helped the Romney campaign fine-tune its programming so it fits neatly into the tight, one-hour block that the broadcast networks have dedicated to airing the convention in prime time. He has advised them on how to avoid certain pet peeves of producers, like running long at the top or bottom of the hour, when the networks have to cut away for commercial breaks.
Mr. Alongi, with his knowledge of what cameramen and producers will be looking for, has also ensured that Republican Party branding is placed in camera lines of sight. "When they're flipping through the channels at home, I want them to know this is the Republican National Convention," he said.
The most ambitious element of stagecraft, however, will be the podium — which features 13 different video screens — the largest about 29 feet by 12 feet, the smallest about 8 feet by 8 feet and movable. All the screens will be framed in dark wood.
"Even the frames are designed to give it a sense that you're not looking at a stage, you're looking into someone's living room," said Russ Schriefer, one of Mr. Romney's senior advisers who is running the convention planning for the campaign.
From the six-feet-high podium, staircases slope into the audience. The intended symbolism: Mr. Romney is open and approachable, not distant and far above.
Along with other props — including a digital clock mounted to one of the arena's upper rings that will show the national debt ticking ever-higher — the video screens will help augment whatever messages a speaker is trying to convey, be it images of woeful-looking Americans to convey that President Obama has mismanaged the economy or pictures of the Romney children that speak to the candidate's deep bonds with his family.
Mr. Romney, who as the planner for the Salt Lake City Olympics has experience coordinating large-scale events, has had a direct hand in shaping some major aspects of the convention, from the podium design to the theme, "A Better Future," which he personally approved.
When his aides showed him an early proposal for the set, a more modern stage with features like steps that would light up, he told them to go back to the drawing board.
How to approach his religion, a topic that he usually avoids speaking about beyond the most general terms, is a question that has long divided his campaign staff. But in the end, they decided to confront it head on. In addition to the invocation, Mr. Romney's work as a bishop in the Mormon Church will be on display.
Despite concerns that his religion might alienate evangelicals and other conservatives, Mr. Romney and his advisers hope that his faith ultimately will be seen as a sign of strength of character, and his time as bishop as an example of his willingness to serve when called.
There is still the question of whether four nights of slickly produced biographical videos, elaborate staging and gushing speeches can change the dynamics of the presidential campaign or alter impressions of a man who has been a national figure for most of the last decade.
Still, Mr. Romney's advisers see it as a chance at a fresh start.
"This is an opportunity for us to tell the Mitt Romney story in a way that people might not have seen," Mr. Schriefer said. "This is our chance to lay out the arguments for why Barack Obama has failed and why Mitt Romney would do better, and to do that using a platform where 39 million people tune in to hear him speak, a lot of them for the first time."

I enthusiastically support the Fitch's Bridge project, that includes a replacement bridge over the Nashua River. A vote is to be taken Jan. 26, 2013. I am writing this letter to you from several perspectives.
As a lifelong equestrian, this will be a dream fulfilled for both the Groton and local equestrian community. The trail access from and to West Groton today requires crossing the Route 225 Nashua River Bridge.
This is unsafe for both the horse and the rider. The new Fitch's bridge will provide extensive rail trail connections from both sides of the Nashua River. These trail connections will also benefit the walkers and bicyclists in the same manner.
Secondly, I am an advisor to the Hazel Grove Agricultural Association overseers to Hazel Grove park, AKA the Fairgrounds. I believe this facility will also benefit from the new Fitch's Bridge. As the HGAA goes forward with improvements at Hazel Grove Park, the expanded trail system will entice equestrians and other groups to use this facility.
Lastly, as a Groton Park Commissioner, we have collectively supported this initiative as it falls under the Master Plan, and recreation plan.
As a proud 21 year resident of Groton and 28 year user of these trails, I am sending along a thank you to those involved in bringing this project forward.

Johnson v. Microsoft Corp., No. 06-900, 2008 WL 803124 (W.D. Wash. March 21, 2008).
A number of plaintiffs filed suit against Microsoft in federal court in Washington state, alleging, among other things, that the installation of Windows Genuine Advantage ("WGA") (which enforces the validity of a user's version of XP) violated the XP end user license agreement ("EULA").
Microsoft moved for summary judgment against two of the plaintiffs, arguing that they did not own the computers at the time WGA was installed, and thus these plaintiffs lacked standing. The court agreed and entered summary judgment against these plaintiffs.
The court rejected these plaintiffs' arguments that they had standing as computer users and business owners to raise the breach of contract claims. The plaintiffs had transferred their ownership to a company before WGA was installed. The parties were therefore not parties to the EULA and lacked privity with any party. Moreover, they could not be treated as third party beneficiaries of the EULA, so they lacked standing.

SETI vs. Green Computing
I enjoyed reading a well written article about keeping otherwise idle computers busy consuming electricity by aiding the search for aliens. It contrasted nicely with the Green Computing Debate ads displayed alongside.
SETI@home, the distributed computing project, is calling for more volunteers willing to donate their computers' downtime to the project which scans radio telescope data for evidence of intelligent alien life. Volunteers download a small programme which acts something like a screensaver - it kicks into life when your computer …
You have a better chance of helping our society by putting your cpu time and energy into research that actually has RESULTS - like folding proteins to research cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.
Google, Dell, Apple, Intel, ATI, National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health and Stanford Medical Center are all behind it.
Well, I've been "crunching" for years....and I'm glad that the multiple "ears" now being installed are about to become operational.....SETI@home has been running out of NEW work to crunch for some time, resulting in the SAME work units being processed many times over....now with the new receivers picking up even more data from a wider part of the sky around Arecibo, we've got more chance of finding out if anyone else is "out there"....
Shameless plug - the UK BOINC Team needs new members - see www.ukboincteam.org.uk
I am like a lot of old SETI@Home folks. Once they forced us all to switch to BOINC, which is an absolute POS, all the resource hogging issues, bugs, and other problems of BOINC made us decide after a few months that it was not worth putting up with. The old stand alone SETI@Home software was reliable, consumed very little in resources, and didn't crash PC's.
Half the time when I update the account I already have there is no new work...thats one of the reasons I went to the new client so I can do other projects. You'd think with all the data that they supposedly have to process they would actually have it available for those with extra processing power to process...
I, like many others, joined SETI@home when it first statrted. I was there when, for 6 weeks, they passed out the same 30 work units. After a year or so, I did find out about the previous SETI computing projects, called META and BETA. EAch of which use roughly the same equipment as the SEti@home server farm, and can prcess the data themselves, at near real time.
After that, I switched to distributed.net - left that a year or two later, after a flaw I spotted in their OGR roject went unresolved for 2 years (thats what started phase2) before finally moving to Muon1DPAD.
Not only is muon1 completely british, its also one of the very few 2nd generation projects. That means its not just crunching data its told to crunch, its determining itself, at the client level, what to do. It then evolves based on its own results, and the results of others. Basically, its evolution in action. This method allows it to deal with much larger data streams than other projects. For comparison, a seti@home work unit, and an average muon1 simulation takes about the same time to process. A lattice (or design type, a subproject in the overall design) can have 10^900 (thats a 1 with nine hundred zeros after it) different designs. The current crop of 1000 or so users, can crunch through that, and give a best result (or at least a better result than through conventional design) in about 6-9 months. By contrast, RC5-64 took distributed.net, with 100,000 users almost 3 years to do, by brute force. RC5-64 has a keyspace of around 10^15 keys, and a client on a 1Ghz system was doing maybe a million keys a second.
In the end, muon1 is a small project, run by one person as part of his job, at the RAL in Oxfordshire, and is far more cutting edge in its abilities and methods than the same tired old 'download this datablock, crunch this data block, return the results for this data block, repeat' simplistic method of work.
brute forcing small projects, very 1995...
Andrew Norton - currently building his own 15m radio telescope.
Yes I know I can install Linux and run BOINC; I did. But I don't want to boot over and back between OSes in between gaming sessions. I just want the screensaver to kick in when the box is idle.
Folding@Home is all very worthwhile but finding the cure for cancer on your PS3 doesn't have anywhere near as much kudos as discovering ET!
How about the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search? Launched in January 1996, and still running today? Plus, it's a great way to test an overclocked system. Take part and it could be YOU receiving some of the EFF's $100000 prize money for the discoverers of the first million-digit prime number. Take a look at www.mersenne.org for more info.
Mine's the white canvas blazer with optional long sleeves,
PS Aside from running the software, I am not affiliated with the site I mentioned.
I used to crunch WU's for seti. I had the standalone executable installed on many comps, and when they were idle (scheduled task on 'doze) they would crunch. Never bothered the user.. BOINC didn't work as well. Another thing I ran was a proxy that cached work units. I could see near real time what the status was of all of the computers. If they went back to a standalone executable that can be easily be called from the command line... I will go back to crunching WU's... Until then, Folding is the way to go for me.
I'm more bothered about things down here on earth which we know are going to affect us.
I've been "crunching" climate models for two years as part of the CPDN and BBC Climate Experiments.
I'd suggest that this (and the medicine related) projects are more important than looking for some aliens that probably don't exist anyway.
for an explanation of why we're so unlikely to find anything and this also from New Scientist
If you do want to crunch for CPDN you can find out how to join here http://www.climateprediction.net/
Gerald Davison - Crunching for Team Wales
I've been running Folding at Home since 2004 and have racked up a score of 83647 for a total of 491 work units processed. Not bad considering it's running on an AMD Sempron 2500 with 1 gig RAM. The box is running FC4 (was 2 then 3) and is on permanently, so it's not so much a screen saver as a background process. I renice it to 10 so it doesn't interfere with my usage of the box (I use it for all my net access etc).
I'd run SETI too, if I thought the box could handle both without a problem, but they would both be slower.
BOINC now does much more than SETI. The amount of research into major medical conditions is growing by leaps & bounds so there are many other projects you can join - just run it while you are using your computer - it won`t cost you anything and you can do something worthwhile for nothing. What have your got to lose ?
I had SETI running on 50 or 60 computers at work -
we turned in enough WUs to land us in the top 100 or so schools running SETI
Then came BOINC - locked machines (Macs and PCs), crashed SETI clients, failure to install, etc etc etc etc
Suffice it to say - the department is larger now, and there are NO (zero, nada, zip, zilch) systems running SETI
i stopped using seti@home when they released that awful boinc software.
I don't want to attach any other studies to it.
i don't want a rotating 3D sparkly grid
if they ever decide to re-release the original looking software (with the security fixes naturally) then i'll use it again, but not before
I refuse to participate in protein folding or medical research programs for the same reason I refuse to donate to medical research charities. That is:
If a cure for cancer, AIDS or whatever is found, the only ones who will benefit will be the pharmaceutical corporations who will patent the results of the research and then charge such extortionate rates for treatment that only the rich will be able to afford it. These companies make billions of dollars, yet they expect the public to donate money and computer time and fund their research? Fuck off.
I'd rather use my computer to look for alien intelligence. At least if we find one I can send out a radio message telling them to come here and obliterate this planet before the human race gets out of the solar system and infests the rest of the universe!
Maybe in a few hundred years? In the meantime, we could contact aliens and use their wonderfull technology to cure every single disease.
Or, even better: wait for Uncle S. (you know, the one who lives between Mexico and Canada) to nuke us all -including himself. Shouldn't take more than a couple of years now that He is out for blood.
I've never had a problem with BOINC... maybe you guys were just using the first release or something. I've been running it for the last 2 years. It currently eats up 5.2megs of my 2.5gig memory and the boinc.exe process is using 0% CPU. I had never thought of it as resource hungry.
But I think SETI is a bit of a waste of time anyway, I only devote 10% of my computing time to it and the rest I give to Einstein@home.
I don't doubt that there could be life out there. I do think the chances of finding it in the ocean of space and time are slim. And I don't know what we would do with the knowledge that 16 million light years away there is an alien civilization. Other than taunting religionists and giving the USA a new place to invade there doesn't seem to be much benefit to having this knowledge.
Or rather, not as much benefit as doing real science.
I hate this project. In fact more than that, I despise this project.
I dont have the remotest part of hippie green blood in me but the energy wasted ont his pointless experiment is absolutely ridiculous. The chances of finding alien life (which I doubt exists anyway) this way are next to 0. Yet all these sheep have it happily running along on there computer heating their house.
I can at least see a little benefit in the folding at home project, but i struggle to see it in the climate modelling or the stupid alien one,
Grr Grr Grr.
I've got my coat and I'm heading for the door, not good for my blood pressure.
I used to run SETI on 1 PC, 1 Laptop and 1 Server at home, as well as a few workstations and a couple of Linux servers I had access to at work (bringing in work units from home to avoid the boss noticing on the proxy logs). That was about 7 years ago.
Then I changed jobs to find that the machines were so locked down and loaded with spyware (OK, auditting software, but same thing) that I couldnt use the work machines for the job. Gutted, I was racking up HUGE amounts of processing time, and a great ranking.
Then, to top it all off, my father went on a rampage about saving electricity. No computers to be left on except the server. That killed SETI for me.
Not looked at it since then, even though I now have some nice powerfull machines under my full control at work :)
However, SETI is just a bit of fun (IMHO). Folding, however, as was stated above, is going to make money for the pharaceutical giants, so I wont be running that unless they are prepared to share the wealth.
"I refuse to participate in protein folding or medical research programs for the same reason I refuse to donate to medical research charities. That is:
If a cure for cancer, AIDS or whatever is found, the only ones who will benefit will be the pharmaceutical corporations"
Not forgetting of course the thousands of men, women and children that die a horrible death each year in this country alone.
How the hell do you expect medicines to be made? Magic?
Yes, the pharm companies do rip us off but who else do you suggest makes the new drugs? At least if these projects succeed the cure would exist.
What if someone close to you was dying from cancer. Would you prefer a cure to be available but expensive or not available at all?
Tell you what, why don't you go back to sitting on your ass pointing at everything that's "wrong" with the world instead of doing anything you can to make the world a better place?
After getting back into this distributed computing malarkey with Folding@Home on my PS3 I thought I'd give SETI another go. Been running the BOINC client (SETI@Home and FightAIDS@Home) on a Vista machine and two XP boxes for over a month now with no problems whatsoever. Suggest all ex-BOINC users try again as I'm sure this new version (which I assume it is) is much more stable.
This is a Mac on Intel. BOINC is a lovely thing. I am doing Rosetta protein folding, and it's fascinating. It's a whole new interest for me, thanks to the Reg readers. I imagine it will have to be turned off for music composition, but all those cycles are just sitting there...
Problem with all these "idle" apps is they load the CPU to max and consume a lot of power.
Worse for modern PCs and in particular laptops which changes power consumption (and throttles the CPU) on demand. On my laptop I just can't run them as the laptop fan kicks into overdrive whilst the CPU hits 70 degrees C!
It's funny especially with the climate change projects which are contributing to global warming by having all these computers maxed out trying to work out the effects of global warming!
Anyway, what with the drive to have more efficient PCs and get office and home users to turn off their PCs rather than leave them on, means the likes of SETI@Home are doomed.
....who gave up on SETI and/or BOINC.
1) BOINC is now a hell of a lot better as a piece of software - sure it had problems to start with and for a good couple of years afterwards.....but the developers never gave up, never surrendered and it now works fine on many types of OS.
2) SETI have also had more than their fair share of criticisms over time...but they are poorly funded and have tried hard to improve their ability to do good. Given that they are pretty much run by volunteers with only a couple of "staffers" (who I think are part time anyways) they have carried on and 12+ years AFTER the original SETI@home screensaver, they are still dong their best.
3) You can of course now choose to run many different BOINC projects all from the same client software. So you are not limited to just looking for aliens - you can do other worthwhile stuff as well, including Climate Prediction, Rosetta, Proteins@home, World Community Grid, etc.
4) Most projects are run by research groups attached to universities. Some projects ARE commercial.....but at the end of the day, everyone crunching work units via BOINC is a VOLUNTEER who knows what they are doing, who they are helping and that their contribution allows them to benefit others (whether it is the researchers or people afflicted by specific diseases or conditions).
OK, so many people had a bad experience with BOINC, especially during the transition from the original SETI screensaver.....however, the latest version installs more easily (and doesn't require uninstallation first, like early versions did)...it's more "friendly", enables you to check multiple PC's from one client and allows you to easily make a worthwhile contribution, while your PC is "on".
Give it another go if you can: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
BOINC Cheerleader mode > "off"
To all of you complaining you can't run Seti@home on your work machines for whatever reason (I notice nobody mentioned problems with firewalls - do the Corporate Goonsquads know what you're trying to do??), I'd just like to point out that most companies have restrictions in place concerning what you can and cannot have on your work machines (and what's more, some of them actually make sure they let their staff know what is and isn't allowed rather than just telling them it's on the company intranet somewhere... and then providing a "search" facility that is less use than a chocolate teapot to try to find it with. But that's another story).
"Yet all these sheep have it happily running along on there computer heating their house."
Doubtless you have a computer which you leave on with your favourite screensaver when you go off for a beer/tea/dinner whatever heating your house. Doubtless you also have a computer at work on 8/10/12/24 hours a day also heating your workplace. So your point is ?
At the end of the day, do you think, if they actually discovered anything they would tell you? Knowing that we are not alone, would just cause mass hysteria, and for what? Helping the government out.....
Come on - Benefit Human Existance by helping to research something that will help the Human Race.
I've been folding since Grid started
A related project to the one you mentioned is being run from the Queen Mary University, LHC@home. Granted it uses BOINC as the framework, it is still a worthwhile program to think about for those interested in applied science applications.
An article with appropriate links at The Reg mentioned it last October, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/17/cern_distributedcomputer_to_london/
The project has few work units currently since the Large Hadron Collider in Cern isn't operational yet. The system should be fully up around June this year, and the volunteer machines may well be kept busy depending on the number of experiments being run. (The few work units occasionally available now are probably just tests of the system and to keep the volunteers happy.) You can find out more about it at http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/
P.S. I'm currently running SETI@home, Einstein@home, and LHC@home and have been for years under the Amateur Radio Operators team for each.

All You Can Eat
Thanks for your patience as we get back into the swing of things. To answer your questions about the pavilions, the reason they look different right now is because they're completing some work with the concrete underneath the benches. There won't be any noticeable differences in the pavilions when you show up on Opening Day, as the benches will be put back in before then. There will be one difference, though, in the right field pavilion, which some of you might have read about this morning in the L.A. Times. The pavilion will be an all-you-can-eat ticket for $35 (or $40 if you buy it on the day of the game). This was something we tried last year and fans really seemed to like it, so we're going with it for '06.
I noticed the one comment on the blog that was not a proponent of this change but I ask you all to give it a shot. There are obviously people who really enjoyed this opportunity last year and for those that don't, they can simply choose to sit elsewhere in the park and it should have no affect on them whatsoever.
On a side note, while the L.A. Times article is correct in stating that the least expensive day-of-game ticket will be $10, it failed to point out that we still will have $8 tickets, provided you get them in advance. I think it's important that fans realize that we're still trying to provide affordable entertainment for everyone.
In regards to the Dodger Fan Rewards program, we are still waiting on some detailed information from Sports Loyalty Systems, the third-party company that operated the program. We hope to have the information shortly, so thanks for your patience.

Thanks Josh. It's good to know that they're reinforcing the concrete under the bleachers… all to accomodate the extra weight of all the food that will be consumed there. Not to mention the added weight that the requlars will be placing on the foundation as the season progresses. :o)
Also from the LA Times:
"David Beckham, perhaps the world's most widely recognized soccer player after Pele and Diego Maradona, today signed a five-year, $250-million contract to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer."
There is still going to be over 3 million dodger fans that will go to Dodger Stadium.. but maybe that'll get the Dodger front office to start acting like a major market team.. spend some of that $$ they are getting out of the pockets of poor fans out in the pavillions… I had planned to go to at least 10 games in 2007, but now I'm reconsidering, it comes down to be pretty expensive for a game now..
"There are obviously people who really enjoyed this opportunity last year and for those that don't, they can simply choose to sit elsewhere in the park and it should have no affect on them whatsoever."
Yeah, can't wait for that first ESPN broadcast where the jokes will flow at OUR expense. Bad idea.
Benny, what does Beckham signing with the Galaxy have to do with the Dodgers? Do you think it makes sense to sign someone for that much moeny? Where do you think that money will come from? I understand $10 is a lot of money for many people but it is not a lot to attend a major sporting event when a movie ticket costs that much or even more. Remember, many of the people who do attend Dodger games did not pay for the ticket; someone else did. Enjoy the soccer games and we will miss you at Dodger Stadium this coming season.
If you do the math, the "all you can eat idea" makes no financial sense. Let's say you eat two dogs, two cokes, peanuts, and say, nachos. That comes to, what, $30? Or am I being naive about how much the McCourts have jacked up food prices, from the obscene to the insane? I can see that this all you can eat idea could be a hit with the really really large among us, the type that you find bellying up at a Hometown Buffet, but how many of those people have $40 per person to spend on a game? Then what if you have kids? No way kids are going to eat $40 worth of food, at least until they are 12 or so. The only thing I can figure is that the Dodgers want to attract the untapped market of fat, rich teenagers. Sarcasm aside, I just don't get the math here and I can't see why anyone would find this idea attractive….
Thanks for the update on the Rewards Club — I look forward to hearing about that. Saves me a frustrating phone call to follow up!
I can't tell you how pissed I am about the rewards club program. I hate to vent to you, but you're the only official Dodger ear available. I've been trying to build up points for a year and now it seems for naught. I hope you guys come up with some sort of deal for those of us with points. And yes, cc3451, the all-you-can-eat move makes zero financial sense and seems like a disgusting way to put on thirty pounds in a single trip to the stadium. But I'm still gonna try it for one game. It's too crazy of a baseball move to pass up.
"Let's say you eat two dogs, two cokes, peanuts, and say, nachos. That comes to, what, $30?"
Yeah, but don't forget you're getting a ticket too. The left field pavillion seats are $10, so that adds up about right. It may seem a bit excessive, and you have to be really hungry for it to work, but it's interesting.
What gets me is just looking at the menu. Admittedly, I've been to Dodger Stadium once (that's what happens when you live on the east coast), so I might not understand everything involved, but here's the whole listing:
• Dodger Dogs
• Nachos
• Peanuts
• Popcorn
• Coca-Cola products
• Water
Candy, beer, and ice cream are understandably not included. But what about french fries and those giant soft pretzels? And no offense to the Dodger Dog, but are there other meal items (burgers, sandwiches, pizza, etc) available, and are they covered?
I would expect there to be a lot of empty seats in the right field pavillion. I don't say this because people won't buy them, but because there's too much incentive to stand away from their seats and cash in on free food to give to left field pavillion fans, for example. If I've got a right field ticket, and my buddy in left has a family of four and they all want dodger dogs and a coke, then they could give me $30 or $40 which I could pocket, so it's like a free night at the ballpark with all the food I want.
I'm a season ticket holder and I don't think I spent $40 all season. Call me frugal… or maybe just a body concious individual who doesn't need to stuff themselves with artery clogging "food".
Sorry to take it out on you Josh, but as said above, you're the official "ear" for the dodgers online. You probably didn't have anything to do with the decision anyway.
It just disgusts me to think that somebody can eat that much food. I know it's expensive to eat at the ballpark, but common.
I don't drink, but maybe if that included beer it would be justified.
Ice cream's are about $4, pretzels are $3, hot dogs are $5 or $6? People are going to have to eat A LOT of food to justify that.
I love the organization and hope they succeed on the field and off the field, but I have a feeling this is going to be a bust, sorry.
Also, I have a question. What determines the increase in season ticket prices and how do you figure out how much to raise them? My seats were raised $2 each this year. While it's not a drastic difference at first glance, it works out to be a 40% increase which is much more than my yearly raise at work.
Patriotacts425 – the left field and right field pavilions are seperated and there is no way to meet with fans on the other side. In fact, they are completely cut off from the rest of the stadium. The seats are about the cheapest you can find and they tend to get a pretty rowdy crowd. They don't serve beer out there either. Cut the hoodlums off from the rest of the stadium and keep them sober so they can't fight (any more than they already do) or steal seats from the field level patrons.
"Thanks Josh. It's good to know that they're reinforcing the concrete under the bleachers… all to accomodate the extra weight of all the food that will be consumed there. Not to mention the added weight that the requlars will be placing on the foundation as the season progresses. :o)"
I swear i laughed out laud on that one.
But seriously the McCourts are putting money on the team & that's all I ask for, I'll be happy to dish out a few more bucks.
What's the word from Boise? I saw an article in the LA Times that Boise State is having a good recruiting class. As an Oklahoma fan I was less than pleased with the outcome of the game, but those are the hazards of rooting for a team thats expected to win them all.
I work with a BS grad and we decided the BCS should expand and always hold open a couple of spots for teams from the smaller conferences.
Anyway I just as soon the loss was to a team on it's way to consistently doing well against the so called big hitters.
Sometimes the media hype surrounding these games really annoys me.
knouffbrock, what does Boise State's good recruiting class have to do with the Dodgers? Oooops… I was channeling "lbirkin" for a moment there I think! :o)
What's the word? Do I have to choose just one? Aside from "WOW", I guess I'd have to choose Chris "Peterson" as the word. The man can do no wrong at this point in his life. He has a key to the city and a great football program at his fingertips. But I've seen this coming for several years now.
Dan Hawkins really helped pave the way for Peterson's leadership this season… and not to mention that he was a gifted offensive coordinator to begin with. It's just too bad that a division 1-A team with no losses gets ranked fifth and sixth in the nation. I'd love to see a one game playoff… our defense is one of the best in the country and I think we'd hold our own against Florida… but we'll never know, will we?
The stadium improvements are nice , the bleacher food section is what it is, good or bad, but if the McCourts want to make more money tell them to invest in getting the best players on the field and winning some championships. That will bring in more people than any gimmicks can.
firstname.lastname@example.com this years crop was not all that good I'd rather pay Andrews good money rather than Soriano plus we got Schmidt for 3 years only, would you rather have Zito for 7 years??? no thanks.
interpol2424, I'm not saying they should have signed Zito or anybody else right now, all I'm saying is put that money into the team rather than having gimmicks to try and bring more people into the stadium.
i am sorry ksspark i am all for the cinderellas but boise state would have gotten completely demolished if it played florida. they would have got blown out by USC as well. did you see the game??? thompson from oklahoma threw what 3 interceptions, and they still almost came back and won if not for a few brilliantly designed trick plays. they were ranked where they should have been until, they start scheduling higher ranked teams. i think we would have saw a similar game had boise state played notre dame as they should have, they were no match for LSU. that was the worst college football game ive seen.
I am a returning Dodger season ticket holder out in the jungle (Left Field Pavilion). I missed maybe five games all of last season. I usually brought my own food to the games, but I "Dodger Dogged it" (as my 12 year old son calls it) maybe two or three games each home stand. It cost me $32 for four DD's, two small drinks, and a bag of peanuts – and that was for BOTH of us. Sure, late in the game my son would want something else (usually a chocolate malt), but we still came in at well below $70 (2 X $35).
What is unfortunate is that there are a lot of people who want to sit in the RFP without this silly buffet gimmick, but will now have to pay $35-$40 to sit there even if they do not want to participate in the buffet. This should be an optional buy-in thing and not a mandatory thing to enjoy watching the game from the RFP. Why not take this promo to the Top Deck (or a section of the upper Reserve Level) instead of the RFP?
Although this gimmick will not directly affect me in the LFP, it WILL force a lot of the regular RFP fans who do not want to play in McCourt's silly little hot dog games to move over to the already crowded LFP.
Just my $.02
PS: Only 86 more days until the home opener!
They already know the all-one-can-eat seats will be unpopular. That's the point. This is little more than a way of depressing ticket availability–like the tarp in Oakland. Except, in Oakland, people make fun of the owner for using the tarp. The all-one-can-eat seats are a little brilliant in that, not only do we get to pay McCourt more money to go to the games, but now we get to look like ******, while he goes unscathed.
I hope the Branding experts got a bonus for that little gem.
Wow. "Em oh are aye en es" is verboten here? My apologies for the tough language.
graffitigenius… I'm glad you're a genius with graffiti… 'cause your BSU take is way off. Did you even watch the game? If you did, you'd see how well BSU handled Oklahoma up front where it mattered the most. If you did, you'd also remember the fluke play on the punt that hit the BSU player on the leg resulting in great field position for Oklahoma. If you did, then you also forgot about Zabransky's late interception which gave Oklahoma the lead. Really, this game wasn't as close as it appeared to be. I'll take BSU's defensive ability against ANY team.
Take that to the bank and cash it… it's as good as money.
Hi, Josh. Recently I saw the 2007 promotional schedule in a couple of different places (including on the team's website, or so I thought). Now I can't find it anywhere, although I've Googled it a few times. Can you suggest how I can find it? Thanks.
So what impact will this have on Andre Ethier?
Josh, I just got a copy of the promotions. Thanks, anyway.
Josh, I just got a copy of the promotional schedule. Thanks, anyway.
From a baseball fan in Texas. I think it is a great idea. Posted a note about it on my blog. Check it out at:
"Baseball Talk With the Big Dog"
I personally think the RFP change in ticket prices is ridiculous. I could spend only 15 dollars on food and still be full, so I don't know why we would need it to last the entire year. I think it was good to have it as a promotion every now and then, but for the whole year? I highly doubt it will be half-full near the middle of the season. I went to about 20 games last season, so I knew I would have to change my eating habits at the stadium, for the sake of money and my health, so I tend to bring in my own food and my own sodas. Another annoying rumor is the raise in parking. Has anyone heard about this? If you are going to raise parking again, then I want to see some drastic improvements on that situation. Why not offer a courtesy shuttle at the Union Station and China Town stops for the Metro to encourage public transportation. It would benefit the overflow of the parking lot, the smog in the air, and I am sure the neighbors would not mind seeing a decrease in traffic?

Reports that Google and Apple could get into a bidding war for the rights to stream European soccer online are being debunked.
Several British tabloids are reporting that the two Silicon Valley tech giants are set to bid for rights to show live broadcasts of Premier League matches during the 2013-2016 seasons.
But tech economics blog PaidContent.org is shooting down reports that both Google and Apple would be interested in the rights to stream the games.
Currently several companies share the rights to broadcast matches and highlights of the English Premier League, including Yahoo..
But PaidContent.org argues that Google and Apple are in the business of allowing content owners to distribute their material through the companies' platforms.
Both technology companies have not been in the business of paying big money to stream their own content.
At the same time both companies have been reportedly trying to expand their television ventures, with reports that Apple has long been looking to create its own rival to cable television.
The bidding for the EPL broadcast rights will begin this summer.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has recently issued the following press release: Upper Chesapeake Health System to Pay $180,000 to Settle EEOC Disability Discrimination Lawsuit: Health Care System Unlawfully Fired Employee Because of Vision/Hearing Impairment and to Punish Her for Seeking Accommodation BALTIMORE - Upper Chesapeake Health System, Inc., a leading health care provider in northeastern Maryland, will pay $180,000 and furnish significant equitable relief to settle an EEOC disability discrimination and retaliation lawsuit, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today. According to the EEOC's suit, Deborah Ropiski consistently received good performance evaluations and positive patient feedback during her 19 years of employment with the Upper Chesapeake Health System. The EEOC charged that the health care system failed to reassign Ropiski as a reasonable accommodation after it removed her from her position as a pulmonary function technologist at its Bel Air, Md., medical center based on its perception that her disability, Usher's syndrome, interfered with her ability to do her job. Usher's syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by varying levels of vision and hearing loss. According to the lawsuit, Upper Chesapeake Health System terminated Ropiski because of her disability and in retaliation for her requests for accommodations. The EEOC also charged that the health care system later failed to rehire Ropiski into a vacant position for which she was qualified because of her disability and in retaliation for her filing a discrimination charge with the EEOC. Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires an employer to provide a reasonable accommodation, including reassignment to a vacant position, unless the employer can prove it would be an undue hardship. The ADA also prohibits employers from terminating or failing to hire an employee based on disability or retaliating against an employee because she requested a reasonable accommodation or filed a discrimination charge. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Upper Chesapeake Health System, Inc., Civil Action No. 13-cv-02846 (ELH)) in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, after first attempting to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. In addition to the $180,000 in monetary relief to Ropiski, the three-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit enjoins Upper Chesapeake Health System from future discriminating on the basis of disability or engaging in retaliation in violation of the ADA. The health care system will implement and disseminate to all employees an ADA reasonable accommodation policy and will provide training on the ADA and its requirement to provide reasonable accommodations, including reassignment. Upper Chesapeake Health System will provide a positive letter of reference for Ropiski and post a remedial notice. "This is yet another case we brought involving a claim that an employer in the health care field refused to provide a reasonable accommodation to an employee with a disability," said EEOC Philadelphia district director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr. "A health care provider should especially be sensitive to employees with disabilities and cognizant of their needs and rights. Fear and misconceptions about an employee's disability do not excuse any employer from providing a reasonable accommodation." EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence added, "This is a meaningful settlement because in addition to providing just compensation to Ms. Ropiski, the decree contains significant injunctive relief and other remedial measures designed to ensure that no one at this health care system will be discriminated against or denied a reasonable accommodation in the future."
