2012: The Year According to Matt Olson
Jan 2013
Landscape designer, furniture builder, conceptual artist, blogger, avid researcher: Matt Olson's diverse passions come together in ROLU, the experimental design studio he founded with Mike Brady in Minneapolis. When we asked him about his favorite moments of 2012, he unsurprisingly took a diverse look at culture, listing the year's best in art and design, spirituality and technology.
2012: The Year According to Abraham Cruzvillegas
Jan 2013
Just as art in Abraham Cruzvillegas' forthcoming Walker exhibition, The Autoconstrucción Suites, includes found objects, the Mexico City–based artist's best-of-2012 list includes a sampling of items from all over, including literature, sculpture, journalism, film, and his personal life, which is the category of his year's top moment: the birth of "La Dragona," his daughter Ana.
2012: The Year According to Alec Soth
Jan 2013
To commemorate the year that was, we invited artists and designers to take part in an open-ended exercise: share with us 2012's best "things"—artworks, books, albums, political moments, memories, spectacles, failures, etc. The first to take us up on the offer was photographer Alec Soth, who weighs in with the "10 things that gave me pleasure in 2012."
This Just In: Recent Acquisitions
Aug 2012
History and performance are twin threads that connect artworks recently brought into the Walker collection. This notable selection from our recent acquisitions includes several first works by new artists and inclusions by artists long in relationship with the Walker, including Andrea Bowers, Elad Lassy, Dave McKenzie, and Rirkrit Tiravanija.
Walker Flashback: Art in the 1980s
Aug 2012
Archivist Jill Vuchetich offers a sampling of Walker events, from the premier of David Byrne's The Knee Plays to a 1988 exhibition by Tim Rollins and K.O.S.
A Performance Chronology
Jul 2012
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Walker welcomed performing artists like Bill T. Jones, Karen Finley, and Ron Athey, whose work reflected concerns of the day. In conjunction with the exhibition This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s, John Killacky, performing arts curator from 1988 to 1996, shares his memories of Walker performances—and politics—of the era.
The Dark Arts: What to See at Northern Spark 2012
Jun 2012
By anyone's measure, the inaugural Northern Spark festival last June was a wild success. From dusk to dawn, people discovered the Twin Cities in a new light while making the rounds to some 100 projects by more than 200 artists. This year's all-nighter, on June 9, features more projects, concentrated in downtown Minneapolis for easier navigation. Here are a few happenings that piqued our interest.
Skin and Stone: A Deeper Look at Jim Hodges' Shining Boulders
May 2012
With Jim Hodges' sculptural boulders—four mammoth, 400-million-year old stones clad in shiny steel—there's more than meets the eye. In this slideshow, Hodges shares his inspiration for the work and his thinking about scale, materiality, light, and keeping such iconic works—now a permanent part of the Walker hillside—untitled.
Unconventionally Real: Nine Artists Discuss Their Work in Lifelike
Mar 2012
Can the use of realism be seen as unconventional in the context of contemporary art? This core question of Lifelike can be addressed through many of the works on view. Here, artists Ai Weiwei, Vija Celmins, Susan Collis, Keith Edmier, Robert Gober, Kaz Oshiro, Peter Rostovsky, Paul Sietsema, and Mungo Thomson offer a glimpse into their work process and the notion of radical realism.

Adlai is attractive but super feminine. I'd never heard of it before reading this post, and I must say my mind immediately assumed it was a girl's name.

Mother Approved
October 6, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
I used to have a superpower. I never told anyone, of course—that's the rule with powers—and in the grand tradition, it was a mixed blessing. It was this: mothers loved me.
It's true. Mothers of all kinds wanted me to date their sons. Hell, they wanted me to marry them. Not shockingly, the actual sons in question were less jazzed about the prospect. It seemed like the very qualities that rendered me totally unsuitable to boys my own age—my good manners, my bookishness, my lack of any adult sexiness, even my runty size—were the same things that drew their mothers like catnip.

Beautiful Image
August 7, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
If I hate anything that smacks of "self-care"—and I do—I come by this antipathy honestly. I don't just mean my mother's disdain, bordering on pathological, for any sort of pampering. I've come to see this trait of hers as equal parts puritanism, ingrained frugality, and self-loathing, and as such have attempted to curb any similar tendencies in myself. When I am not being honest, I tell myself to be like the French: regarding beauty maintenance as a regular, unselfconscious part of a routine, like going to the dentist. Of course, I'm not French, and in any case it's hard to tell yourself you're undergoing anything medically essential when you're listening to a woodwind version of "Bringing in the Sheaves."
I have gotten online coupons for services with relaxing names and cheeky names and traveled by subway to far-away banyas. I have navigated palatial Mitteleuropean bathhouses and stripped in hammam. I've been coaxed into taking shuttles to all-day Korean day spas and tromped around in smocks. I hated every moment of it—actively hated it. It's not a guilty pleasure. It's just guilty. Read More »
New Words
April 8, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Sometime in the third grade, a girl in my class began to claim she was ambidextrous. Previously, this girl had said she wanted to be a marine biologist. She also claimed to have athlete's foot. This girl was a pretentious liar.
In fairness, marine-biology ambitions were all the rage that year. We were just moving beyond the easy descriptor stage; it was no longer enough to want an occupation you could identify from a Richard Scarry book, such as baker, doctor, or fireman. Now people wanted to be not just teachers but middle-school teachers, not just football stars but running backs—ideally, our choices conveyed an element of mystery and worldliness to the other kids. Still, generally speaking, our ideas for future careers were about as complicated as those you see in contemporary romance novels, where the heroines have easily explained jobs that seldom seem to interfere with the business of being a glamorous grown-up. Marine biology, with its vague hints of tropical waters and dolphins, seemed like a perfect career path for both the frivolous animal-lover and the committed scientist. None of us was sure what it entailed. Read More »
Chevrolet Caprice
April 21, 2014 | by Ruth Curry
On a Tuesday in late August, on my way to the ferry landing at Thirty-Fourth Street, I saw a huge, white, rusted-out Chevy Caprice make an illegal turn off FDR Drive, nearly skidding onto just two wheels. The Caprice barreled up Thirty-Fourth Street. When it blew by me I got a quick look at its occupants: three old ladies, all elaborately coiffed: the driver, another riding shotgun, and the third leaning forward in the backseat to better converse with the other two. I imagined they had just come from a group outing to the beauty parlor. Each of them probably had a rain bonnet tucked away in their purses, in case it rained later. The driver was wearing Gloria Vanderbilt–style sunglasses and a smashing shade of coral lipstick that was probably really popular in the seventies. I was quite taken with her. When I'm an old lady I want to drive around with my girl gang in a huge rusted-out white Caprice Classic and piss off cab drivers everywhere, I thought.
The image of the three ladies stayed with me well into the next day, which was also, randomly, Tori Amos's fiftieth birthday. In observation, a pop-culture site compiled and ranked her 100 best songs. I dumped the top fifteen or so into a playlist and listened to it for most of the day. I felt sad but not depressed, an odd combination for me. One of the reasons I don't listen to Tori anymore is that I am old. The other is that listening to Tori Amos reminds me of Tracy, my best friend from high school. Emma Straub wrote a piece for the Daily a few years ago called "My Rayannes," which, in reference to Rayanne Graff from the nineties TV drama My So-Called Life, posits that all teenage girls are half lesbian. Less outrageously, it outlines an adolescent phenomenon in which one seeks a darker, more daring, more risk-taking counterpart—an accomplice in DIY piercings, home dye jobs, and, in Straub's words, "tempestuous, obsessive friendship."

Nokia has clawed its way back to 10 per cent or more in some markets largely thanks to the Lumia 520
I thought that Nokia's figures pretty much disproved this claim.

Nokia has clawed its way back to 10 per cent or more in some markets largely thanks to the Lumia 520
I thought that Nokia's figures pretty much disproved this claim.
Well, I smiled.
But I guess the rest of the world needs to know that the Jormans have been taught to pronounce "a" as "e" so it's "hendy" which is even weirder. Other strange things "u" gets pronounced as "a" and "g" as "k". So, in the local news they're often talking about "blocking about the apdates to WatsEpp on the hendy".
Even though I've lived here for years it's still the linguistic equivalent of fingernails being scraped on the blackboard.
Good job you got the spelling wrong on that one!
The _current_ OOXML is actually very nice.
Speaking as someone who actually works on a library that tries to read and write OOXML I can tell you that OOXML still is not very nice: it is overly verbose and inconsistent.
To be fair, and I dislike IE < 9 pretty intensely, IE 6, 7, 8 were in their own way standards compliant. Unfortunately, they supported a standard box model that was subsequently changed. This is the biggest problem when working with them but it's a biggie because of the way we do sites in a post-table-layout, pre-flexbox world. Add to that the real bugs they do have and supporting them does become a real problem. And, then there is Microsoft's intransigence in welding the browser to the OS.
Well, apart from being "new" architectures the two are very different: IA64 was completely new, ARM isn't new - lots of the software already exists for ARM-32 and moving it to ARM-64 won't be difficult; IA64 was only ever going to come from Intel meaning they could dictate prices and roadmap, ARM for servers is going to come from at least 4 (AMD, nVidia, Samsung and Qualcomm); price, competition and the small size of the chips (meaning higher yields from wafers) will keep prices at a fraction of those of Intel. Together these are a very different value proposition. Whereas going IA64 or, before that Alpha, was such a daunting prospect that HP effectively had to strong arm customers (and software vendors) into adoption and even then it remained a niche market. ARM boxes will fit neatly into existing infrastructure and, depending on the workload, and allow a gradual migration as older boxes come up for retirement.
The market is different: IA64 was left targeting large servers with custom installs, ARM is commodity targeting IAAS data centres rather than telcos and banks. The big problem is going to be: are the margins sufficient for vendors to make it worth their while? Though, given the ubiquity of the architecture and, therefore, the ease of getting into the market, they may not have a choice as customers will buy boxes that cost a tenth or less of equivalent Intel ones.
If this actually gets out the door then it will be an enormous boost for ARM servers. They'll be cheap as chips, tiny so you can put loads of them into units and have low power draw.
The history of American companies suggests that only one of those companies will still be in business in 10 years.
Yes, but Christian's point about low-level stuff, ie. booting and drivers is still a challenge for ARM stuff.
Don't you think that AMD is in a good position to do just that? Unlike, say Calxeda, it has all the necessary resources for the full-stack.
They're surely pretty important, too. Otherwise why build data centres where they do?
Nokia reports dismal sales which is why it dumped the handset business.
Kantar on the other hand, reports "stable" market share for Windows phone with numbers, at least in Germany, that do not in any way reflect casual observations - such observations are about as valid as Kantar's survey-based numbers.
The weird thing is that comTech, the parent company of Kantar, has access to pretty reasonable browser stats. Wonder when Mr Sunnebo is going to have to get a new job.
and found itself out-manoeuvred in 1999 when Vodafone slurped Mannesmann itself along with Orange…
It wasn't really outmanoeuvred as outspent by a massive, unsanctioned rights issue. Clever shareholders cashed in (some making tenfold profits in a year) and left dupes (and taxpayers) to suffer the writedown of goodwill.
So, Nokia reports smartphone sales down on the last quarter although Kantar was recently gushing with Nokia's impressive growth everywhere. hm, who should we believe?
That screenshot (colours, typography) reminds me eerily of OS/2 Warp's design.
Yes, it is from the department of the bleeding obvious but you do need the research if, for example, you're going to draw up rules on the use of devices while operating machinery.
The "i" is incorrect, you don't need both "Frau" (woman) and "Luder" (bitch, always female).
"Lebe(r) wohl!" which translates handily as "Live(r) well!"
I'm sure you can do something with "vod" as a German pronunciation of "what" as well.
The threat of not being allowed to have the organ…
You are wrong on two counts: firstly, it is against medical ethics to threaten sanctions on patients; alcoholics are addicts and rarely able to control their behaviour.
George Best infamously continued to drink after a liver transplant. Of course, he died in the end but he got a few more years of life. Smokers and morbidly obese people get treatment for illnesses directly related to their habits. But the same is true for many sports injuries. In the case of smokers and drinkers this is in theory partially funded by the duty collected. In a similar way that policeman cannot become judges, doctors cannot become the arbiters of treatment.
The scandal in Germany has led to a dramatic drop in the numbers of people prepared to be organ donors in an opt-in system. But something positive might come out of this yet: a bit like the ban on embryonic stem cell research, it may spur more research into therapeutic cloning. Transplants undoubtedly save lives but they are fiendishly tricky, expensive and often require patients to take immunosuppressants to prevent rejection. It will be better for all concerned if we can just use "one we prepared earlier".
you rely on them to have appropriate security arrangements…
You don't, you can create your own on a folder-by-folder basis and just them to store the encrypted data.
Storage is commodity. What Dropbox offers is convenience and incredible flexibility. I was in early because they made an offer at PyCon (lots of Python used internally) and have not looked back and gained a few GB here and since including > 40 GB from Samsung. Strong encryption is missing but, because you can mount file systems locally, you can add that yourself. Photo-synching is very convenient but not very granular - no albums and public but obscured by default. I miss more intelligent synching on Android but DropSync fills the gap pretty nicely. It's chuffing great for backing up private repositories.
The key for businesses is the lack of lock-in to any eco-system. Setting up an (encrypted) file-server is invitingly simple and allows companies to continue working as they always have done but scale down their own hardware assets.
@AC IIRC, and as the article hints, the ECJ favoured exactly what you suggest for the rights of the football itself but allowed a loophole re. title music or graphics or something like that, which can be more tightly controlled by the owner.
You are entirely missing the point: the European Commission is not interested in individual markets. It merely wants to facilitate the single market so that, for example, a broadcaster in the Netherlands with the rights to Game of Thrones can make that content available in other countries.
Your polemic against the BBC is pretty inaccurate. Firstly, publicly funded services can be effective market participants. Secondly, advertising is not the only other form of fund-raising open to broadcasters. Thirdly, repeats are as much a response to shifting viewing habits (driven in turn by technological change) as anything else: more channels due to changes in distribution; 24 hour TV driven by user demand. "More of the same" is always a risk in such an environment. Fourthly, it is precisely the lack of effective competition in the pay-TV market which is causing quality to suffer: rivals have to spend inordinate amounts to compete to buy rights for sports and have little left for original programming. Fifthly, the BBC has at least as much oversight as the commercial broadcasters. This could be probably improved but not by giving the politicians more control. The challenge is very much to get the BBC to reverse most of the Greg-Dyke nonsense but it remains popular because it does, by and large, produce reasonable quality programmes that people want. Sixthly, you seem to forget that Channel 4 is probably even better protected by royal charter but also an example of a different approach to competition.
Ladd said there is growing interest in using Dart for server-side applications…
Not sure if that's really got legs. Sure, people are bound to want to try language X on both client and server (node.js being the most prominent example) but the environments often have different and even contradictory requirements.
Having looked briefly at Dart's syntax I've decided I'm more interested in how Go propagates from systems work to applications. Yes, I know that's a non-sequitur but Go just seems more innovative as a language and has a less antiquated syntax.
Static typing is not the same as strong typing.
because this is, surely, the year of FreeBSD on the desktop. Not.);
PC-BSD is a pretty good attempt at a user-friendly version. If I didn't have a Mac it's probably what I'd be using.
Yes, it's interesting how its customers are taking a hammering while its profits remain stable. This is indicative of the market not functioning correctly. It can only be a matter of time before Dell, etc. either migrate en masse to AMD or pour enough into Android on ARM (offers more potential for differentiation outside the consumer electronics segment) to make it an attractive prospect: being able to cut out Intel chips and Windows licences would allow them to cut prices and have a chance of making a profit.
Yes, and it made the Opera Turbo service available in Opera Mobile as the default.
However, this isn't quite the same. Google is effectively running mod_pagespeed on the proxy so compression is not quite as high as with Opera Turbo. It's a nice ad for both mod_pagespeed (make pages and media smaller) and SPDY (allow persistent, bundled HTTP-requests to stop the number of requests being the bottleneck).
The moral is: if you're a contributor to an "open" web resource, then beware: the hippy ethos simply marks you out as a mug. Unless you protect and license your work, you will be exploited by a powerful corporation.
I normally find Andrew's analysis at least thought-provoking but this article is more than just excuse to beat the exploitation drum, it is extremely patronising.
If I put something in the public domain then I am making a conscious decision to do so. If someone can make money by adding value and presenting it (unlikely for the shit I come up with) to a market, then I'm happy for them as long as they respect my inalienable copyright.
A few years ago, Microsoft would not have tolerated dual boot from a major manufacturer…
Now they'll take what they can get?
Intel using Windows compatibility as an argument to sell these devices and get itself established on Android. Personally, I can't really see the point and as soon as Android effectively supports the notebook form factor (keyboard and mouse) I suspect I'll buy one. And a licence for Windows on it, if I need it and the architecture is supported.
In the meantime I suspect I'll stick to the hodgepodge of machines for the job I have.
Lots of posts about why the netbook never thrived. The main cause was Intel because they limited memory and screen size which could be used with their low margin Atom chips and thus prevented the spread to other form factors beyond the extremely unergonomic 10.6" one. Microsoft's expensive licensing didn't help but it was really Intel who did for the category.
"I think Chromebooks can be very impactful in the market really quickly."
Impactful? Seriously, even with an appreciation for inevitable changes in language I can't accept that one.
AT&T … promising to lower costs too
And it would have. For them. While there is some irony in T-Mobile US using some of the money it got from AT&T when the deal went through to go after them, long-term further consolidation of the industry will take place.
No, but not therefore yes.
The Advocate General says that the Directive conflicts with the Human Rights Charter and should be amended. However, he also said there was no fundamental conflict and that sufficient time should be given to change the Directive rather than withdraw it immediately because the aims of the Directive are not fundamentally in conflict with the Human Rights Charter. The Directive is implemented in national law separately by each member state so each member state will need to enact any revised Directive in national law within the usual timeframe (2 to 3 years after European Council and Parliament have ratified the Directive).
We can expect more horse-trading en route to any revised legislation. On the one hand we have the snoopers who think that more surveillance means more security and on the other the defenders of civil liberty and privacy. But we've now also got around 10 years of data for cost/benefit analyses such as that done in Denmark which seems to come down against long-term blanket surveillance because it is expensive and has, so far, provided little evidence to support its basic premise.
No, you don't have it right. The German government did enact the EU directive in national law but the law was struck down by the Constitutional Court. The previous government failed to draft a new law that would comply with the constitution, basically because the Justice Minister had enough backbone to face down the Interior Ministry who would have liked nothing more than being able to spy on German citizens. The Interior Minister has since been demoted to the Minister of Agriculture.
The new coalition has agreed to implement the Directive but not on a timetable and in the expectation that the EUCJ will require the Directive be amended. The EU Commission is required to enforce EU law by bringing countries to court that do not enforce EU law within specified timeframes.
Many of us have been saying for a while that it is ARM's customisation and low-cost - you get chips that are customised to your workload and they are cheap - that make it attractive. Getting stuff done directly in silicon rather than software automatically reduces the power draw. Intel has done great things getting power draw down in the Atom range but the chips are still significantly more expensive than comparable ARMs which are now becoming available and you can't get custom builds of the Atoms. To compete Intel will have to change its business model.
Lastly as a developer with android you have to make a choice as to which handset format you will develop for…
You clearly haven't done any kind of development. Android has the most effective way of targeting multiple form factors.
Until they release results you don't know if the company has under performed, over performed or matched expectations, but the market trades as if the consensus was correct.
Rational market theory has been disproven, discuss…
All of the estimates are from people who have interest in the result.
I'd need a bit more from Android to be tempted but I will be definitely tempted by the 8.4 as a replacement to my Galaxy Tab 8.9 - great compromise between size and weight.
When working with any kind of document (spread sheets in particular), screen real-estate is king
With you all the way on that. I'm still distraught that the PlasticLogic Que never made it to market as that, too, targeted the document market. This device is big enough to warrant a proper-sized keyboard as an additional, optional input device / docking station and is obviously, at least in my view, the next step to Android notebooks. Not sure who should be really worried: Apple or Microsoft. If Samsung can get spec, UI, software and price right (yes, that's a big ask) then these devices will be after Microsoft's nice but expensive Pro tablets.
I like $30/mo PAYG for 5GB…
I think you'll like $15 for 5 GB even more, which is probably closer to many European PAYG prices. And properly unlimited for around $ 25.
However, can you hear the rush of lawyers to the FTC / ITC / FCC to to do something about these pesky upstarts?
Firstly, it's wrong to say VP8 / WebM hasn't been successful. While it has failed to dominate, its existence probably played a large part in keeping h264 royalty free. That alone, given the sheer volume of videos on YouTube, may have justified the purchase price, legal team and continued development. It was a sea change in the industry and we have since seen companies like Cisco pledging to keep codecs free. I don't know what codecs Google uses for the native YouTube apps or Hangouts / WebRTC but it wouldn't surprise me if VP8 figures prominently there.
VP8 came to the market too late to dominate - h264 was already supported by most hardware. The playing field is much more open for 4k, so if Google can get it into hardware early enough, then they have every chance of making it one of the standards. To be really successful they'll need not just the hardware but also the content so YouTube exclusives of 4k content may also be required. That might actually be the next real battle with Apple: assuming 4k content (and playback devices) come on stream quick enough, people may well buy the first devices available. Amazon is already trialling exclusive 4k content in the US.
While still at school I upgraded from an FX81, which had taken quite a bashing, to an 180p which could just about be programmed to solve quadratic equations, which is indeed what I used for at O level. That was probably my first ever functional test! It wasn't cheating as marks were awarded for demonstrating how the result was achieved.
It's still going strong and is what I use any time I need to tot some numbers or double check some mental arithmetic.
Sure, it's how many American companies expect to do business.
Gmail is a notable example where Google didn't get its own way. Member states may line up to bend over for Uncle Sam but that is most definitely not the case at EU level.
Yes, but JPEG2000 is required for PDF 1.5…
The patent trolls like free-to-read, pay-to-write specs: GIF, JPEG2000, MPEG-2, h.264, etc. The free-to-read model encourages adoption by consumers but actually restricts the market by using licence fees to restrict new entrants to the market. However, the WWW is one of the best examples of allowing a market to thrive by keeping specifications open and free. Yes, it's not been without its problems, with the industry packing committees either to push their interests or prevent innovation from others.
To follow your argument to its logical conclusion: there is no need for standards of any kind. So no standard petrol caps: you can fill up at say either Shell or BP but not both, or maybe only Ford.
Or, for phones: no need for GSM/UMTS/LTE, let's go back to CDMA, iDEN, etc.
Saying that regulation is late is not an argument against it.
I'm not convinced that micro-USB is mechanically the best connection, but the voluntary agreement by phone manufacturers within the EU can be considered a success.
I can't remember the last time I bought a home appliance that did not have the cable factory-fitted with a moulded plug on the other end. Toaster, kettle, TV, washing machine, dishwasher... all with fitted leads.
FWIW most radios use a mini-euro connector, computer power supplies also a use a normed connector. Another area the EC has looked at is notebook power supplies which have the same kind of barriers to entry as mobile phone chargers.
My most recent phone came with a cable and without a charger. Happy with that.
Although the EU is well known for its diversity policies, it has been planning to homogenise phone chargers for some time...
The EU is not well-know for its diversity policies: it (actually the European Commission) has taken countries to court over positive discrimination, the US has far wider-reaching and less effective policies. The EC enforces open markets both of the employment and of the gadget kind. It has even started to look at the UK's dysfunctional power distribution market.
As for the UK in 2017 - unlikely that a referendum on membership can be held before then and even then the UK will be bound by most EU norms as are other countries in the EEA / EFTA.
The iThingy dock connector is a good way of getting the audio into your hifi without going via the headphone socket
Bluetooth is even nicer and cheaper to do. Even nicer would be NFC + Bluetooth + wireless: put your device on your speaker and music starts or you just use your phone as a controller for the speaker which gets music from a local or online server: this is the way Apple is going anyway but it likes to use the connector as a shackle on consumers and manufacturers.
some white-knight venture capitalist
They don't exist. they would only buy to sell at a profit within a relatively period of time. Another possibility is selling to prospective customers: HP, Dell, IBM, etc.
ARM servers are coming, not least because they will be available from multiple vendors which should keep the market open.

(Edit: This is a follow-up to a previous question)
I'm working on complete redesign of a site that allows users to check out multiple machines for multiple users.
Here's what I have so far.
A front page that outputs two cfqueries.
One query is the active machines (ie, already checked out) It's a basic cfoutput query and displays the info based on the values of the query. I use a cfif statement to filter only the active machines (value = 1 if active in SQL)
It also outputs stuff like MAC, IP OS etc.
The other query is the inactive machines that a user can check out. It is also filtered based on whether it is active, this time by cfif query.active eq 0. This query has a few form fields so that the user can check the check boxes of devices to check in, enter in the require fields (userID and comments, basically) and submit it.
There is a dropdown menu at the bottom of this page that allows you to select the action, and the form passes in an action number (form.choose_action) that tells the cfc what it should do. IE if the action number is 4, that tells the cfc to send the person to the edit page and passes the deviceID along with it.
So basically I'm passing in the DeviceID in every situation, and the UserID only if the machine is active.
When the user clicks submit, it goes straight to a page which calls a cfc that does most of the heavy lifting.
All in all, this is an extremely poor solution, as it only really works well when one machine is being checked in or out at a time.
Here's a picture to better explain what's going on.
Here's what I would like:
Multiple devices can be selected and be checked in/checked out, hopefully using checkboxes in some way.
If checking a machine out for a user, UserIDs have to be somehow attached to the respective devices in the entry form (the inactive output query) and should be entered along with the deviceID in a single insert, if possible.
I want to be able to check in multiple devices, but also stop people from checking out machines that are active (as they are already checked out). Same goes for inactive machines, I would like to stop a user from checking in a machine that has yet to be checked out. As of now I'm just using number (ie if field is greater than 0 )
Some notes: Only one user is going to be using this at a time, so I don't have to worry about session stuff or having lots of people trying to check in the same device.
At the moment I currently push variables to a page which then passes the form data into a CFC, this might not be the best way to do it.
Really the big problem I'm having is from a design standpoint, my logic is very convoluted and inefficient. At the moment the only thing I could think of is passing the device values in through an array. But not sure if I could do this in a checkbox.
Thank you for your time.

IBM with Growth in Third Quarter 2007
IT giant IBM closed its third quarter 2007 September 30 with turnover up by seven percent compared to the same period last year. Income in the third quarter rose by six percent to around US$ 2.4 billion.
IBMs third quarter revenues totalled US$ 24.1 billion, or US$ 1.68 per share. Services were the major growth areas: total global services rose by 14 percent, the biggest increase for four years. Global business services rose by 16 percent to US$ 4.6 billion, with double figure growth in global technology services by 13 percent to US$ 9.1 billion as IBM sold more products than previously to existing customers.
From a geographic point of view, turnover in the America's region accounted for US$ 10.2 billion - an increase of 4 percent, followed by the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) up 11 percent to US$ 8.1 billion, and Asia-Pacific revenues which increased by 9 percent to US$ 4.9 billion.
In contrast to this, turnover was down by approximately 10 percent to US$ 4.9 billion in IBM's Systems and Technology segment with System p UNIX servers System x servers selling strongly and up by six percent. Z systems and i systems, where turnover dropped by 31 and 21 percent respectively, were the biggest losers. IBM's quarterly earnings report has more details.

With that being said, people with "runners" or thumpers should be placed on the ground floor as not to disturb the guests beneath them.

SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)
- Record revenue of $1.20 billion.
- GAAP net income was $209.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $245.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.
- GAAP gross margin was a record 52.9 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin was a record 53.1 percent.
- NVIDIA initiated quarterly dividend of 7.5 cents a share.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported record revenue of $1.20 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended Oct. 28, 2012, up 15.3 percent from the previous quarter and up 12.9 percent from a year earlier.
The company also announced that it is initiating the payment of a quarterly cash dividend, and extending its existing $2.7 billion share-repurchase program, initiated in August 2004, through December 2014.
"Investments in our new growth strategies paid off this quarter in record revenues and margins," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of NVIDIA. "Kepler GPUs are winning across the special-purpose PC markets we serve, from gaming to design to supercomputing. And Tegra is powering some of the most innovative tablets, phones and cars in the market."
He continued: "We are pleased to start paying our shareholders a quarterly cash dividend. We have confidence in our businesses and our continued ability to grow. Given our strong financial position and ongoing ability to generate cash, we are well positioned to continue investing in our future."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAAP Quarterly Financial Comparison ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in millions except per share data) Q3 FY13 Q2 FY13 Q3 FY12 Q/Q Y/Y ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $1,204.1 $1,044.3 $1,066.2 up 15.3% up 12.9% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross margin 52.9% 51.8% 52.2% up 1.1 p.p up 0.7 p.p ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating expenses $384.4 $401.1 $359.6 down 4.2% up 6.9% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $209.1 $119.0 $178.3 up 75.6% up 17.3% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings per share $0.33 $0.19 $0.29 up 73.7% up 13.8% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-GAAP Quarterly Financial Comparison* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in millions except per share data) Q3 FY13 Q2 FY13 Q3 FY12 Q/Q Y/Y ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $1,204.1 $1,044.3 $1,066.2 up 15.3% up 12.9% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross margin 53.1% 52.0% 52.5% up 1.1 p.p up 0.6 p.p ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating expenses $344.8 $342.5 $317.6 up 0.7% up 8.6% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $245.5 $170.4 $217.0 up 44.0% up 13.1% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings per share $0.39 $0.27 $0.35 up 44.4% up 11.4% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Non-GAAP earnings excluded stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs, a contribution expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and the tax impact associated with such items.
Our outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 is as follows:
- Revenue is expected to be between $1.025 billion and $1.175 billion.
- GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be flat relative to the prior quarter, 52.9 percent and 53.1 percent, respectively.
- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $400 million; non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $359 million.
- GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be approximately 20 percent and 19 percent, respectively, plus or minus one percentage point. This estimate excludes any discrete tax events that may occur during the quarter, which, if realized, may increase or decrease our actual fourth quarter GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates. If the U.S. research tax credit is reinstated into tax law, we estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year 2013 to be approximately 16 percent.
Depreciation and amortization for the fourth quarter is estimated to be approximately $58 million to $60 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $60 million to $70 million.
Diluted shares for the fourth quarter are expected to be approximately 629 million.
Dividend and Share-Repurchase Program
The quarterly dividend of 7.5 cents per share, 30 cents on an annual basis, is equivalent to a yield of about 2.4 percent, based on the Nov. 7 closing price of $12.61. It will be payable on Dec. 14, 2012 to all shareholders of record on Nov. 23, 2012.
Since NVIDIA initiated its repurchase program in August 2004, NVIDIA has spent $1.46 billion to repurchase 90.9 million shares of its common stock. NVIDIA is authorized, subject to certain specifications, to spend up to an additional $1.24 billion repurchasing shares of its common stock.
Any future repurchases would be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in structured share-repurchase programs, and may be made from time to time or in one or more larger repurchases. The program will be conducted in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 10b-18 and applicable legal requirements and shall be subject to market conditions and other factors. The repurchases would be funded from available working capital.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $3.43 billion.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 and Recent Highlights:
- Microsoft launched its NVIDIA Tegra® 3-based Surface RT to critical acclaim.
- NVIDIA's new energy-efficient Kepler GPU architecture continued to make excellent headway:
- Kepler-based gaming was extended to new, lower price points with the launch of the GeForce® 660 Ti, GeForce GTX 660, GeForce GTX 650 Ti and GeForce GTX 650.
- Kepler made further inroads in supercomputing, as Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced that it had completed Titan, the world's fastest open-science supercomputer. Titan gets 90 percent of its processing power from 18,688 NVIDIA Tesla® GPUs.
- Kepler moved further into Apple's lineup, with the NVIDIA Quadro® K5000 for Mac Pro users.
- NVIDIA launched the VGX K2 GPU, also based on the Kepler GPU, for cloud-based workstation graphics.

To listen to the call, please dial (706) 679-2572. A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at the NVIDIA investor relations web site www.nvidia.com/ir and at www.streetevents.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until the company's conference call to discuss its financial results for its fourth quarter fiscal 2013.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement NVIDIA's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income tax expense, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per share, and free cash flows. In order for NVIDIA's investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs, a non-recurring contribution expense, and the associated tax impact of these items, where applicable. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance. The presentation of the company's non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

The buzz continues for cloud, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) and their collective impact across all industries. But a new conversation is emerging - how do companies use industry disruption and technology enablers to lead in markets undergoing change, uncertainty and ambiguity? Organizations of all sizes need to evolve and transform, often under massive pressure, as industry lines blur and merge and traditional business models are assaulted and turned upside down. In this new data-driven world, marketplaces reign supreme while interoperability, APIs and applications deliver un...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly by extending current technologies, products and networks. By 2020, Cisco estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices. Gartner has forecast revenues of over $300 billion, just to IoT suppliers. Now is the time to figure out how you'll make money – not just create innovative products. With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation. Despite this, McKinsey/VisionMobile data shows "less than 10 percent of IoT developers are making enough to support a reasonably sized team....

Today's connected world is moving from devices towards things, what this means is that by using increasingly low cost sensors embedded in devices we can create many new use cases. These span across use cases in cities, vehicles, home, offices, factories, retail environments, worksites, health, logistics, and health. These use cases rely on ubiquitous connectivity and generate massive amounts of data at scale. These technologies enable new business opportunities, ways to optimize and automate, along with new ways to engage with users.

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Can call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears.

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data? In her session at @ThingsExpo, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, WebRTC Applications Team Lead at National ICT Australia, will look at different existing uses of peer-to-peer data sharing and how it can become useful in a live session to...

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Pucks and Numbers: a weekly statistical look at what's happening around the NHL. This week: A look at three of the top defensive forwards in the NHL this season.
One of the toughest individual awards to win in the NHL over the past four years has been the Frank J. Selke Trophy, which is given annually to the best defensive forward in the league. In each of the past three years two of the three finalists have been Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk and Vancouver's Ryan Kesler, while Datsyuk has won it in three of the past four years going back to the 2007-08 season. Kesler won it last season, snapping Datsyuk's run of three consecutive victories.
Whether it's intentional or not, the award almost always seems to go to a player that scores a lot of points. As I pointed out before the season started, Minnesota coach Mike Yeo even acknowledged that fact when discussing Mikko Koivu's chances for the award, saying, "In order to do that [win the award], you have to get a lot of points."
It's kind of like how a lot of Gold Glove winners in baseball are also excellent hitters and run producers, even if there are superior defensive players at the same position. If that seems backwards to you, that's probably because it is.
That's not to take away from the past winners. Players that score a lot are obviously going to get noticed more and have their names in the spotlight more often because of their offensive ability, and that is obviously going to make their other qualities stand out and help influence voting. Still, there are a lot of excellent defensive players in the NHL that, while limited offensively, quietly shut down their opponents and keep them off the scoreboard.
Defense in hockey is still pretty subjective, and a lot of it can depend on your linemates/defensive partners. That said, you can get a pretty good idea which players are strong defensively when taking into account who they're playing against, the situations they play in, and how often they get scored on. For example: If you have two players that are on the ice for a similar number of goals against, but one of them plays against significantly tougher opponents and starts more shifts closer to his own goal, it's a good bet that player is the better defensive player, because even though the goal totals may be similar, he's playing in tougher situations.
We're over a quarter of the way through the season at this point, and here's a look at some of the top defensive performers that have stood out to me so far, taking into account a few of the aforementioned variables: 1) the level of competition they face every night during 5-on-5 play (Corsi Rel QOC), 2) the number of offensive zone starts they get (the lower the number, the tougher the assignments) and 3) the number of goals that are allowed per 60 minutes played when they are on the ice.
(Statistical data via BehindTheNet.ca)
1) Vladimir Sobotka, St. Louis Blues
Corsi Rel QOC: 1.243
Offensive Zone Starts: 40.6%
Goals Against Per 60 Minutes Played (5-on-5): 1.13
The Blues have been one the best defensive teams in the NHL this season, especially since Ken Hitchcock has taken over behind the bench, allowing the second fewest goals per game and the fewest shots per game in the NHL.
Leading the way has been the 24-year-old Sobotka, a player they acquired from the Boston Bruins in June, 2010, in exchange for David Warsofsky. Sobotka isn't going to light up the scoreboard, and in 224 career games has tallied just 61 points, including only 10 (two goals, eight assists) this season. But nobody scores against him, despite playing the toughest minutes on his own team and some of the toughest minutes in the NHL.
He's also the Blues' best center in the faceoff circle, winning over 54 percent of his draws. His defensive game has improved dramatically so far this season, and he's currently one of the top defensive players on one of the top defensive teams in the league, which is mighty impressive. Even so, he's unlikely to get much attention in the voting because he doesn't score enough to get noticed.
2) Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins
Corsi Rel QOC: 1.351
Offensive Zone Starts: 43.8%
Goals Against Per 60 Minutes Played (5-on-5): 1.22
My preseason pick to win the Selke, and every year over the past two years he's taken small steps in the voting, finishing fifth two years ago and fourth in 2010-11. If his play through the first two months continues, he should finish even higher this season.
Sometimes it feels like Bergeron has been around forever, but he's still only 26 years old and doesn't turn 27 until July. His career was nearly ruined by concussions, and he's not only rebounded from those early setbacks to once again become a regular in the Boston lineup, he's one of their core players and one of the best defensive centers in the league.
Bergeron dominates the faceoff circle, and as I pointed out on Tuesday, plays in the tough situations against the other team's best players to open the scoring opportunities for Boston's other top forwards, such as Tyler Seguin, to be put into situations where they can focus on offense. There isn't a forward on Boston's roster this season that has a tougher combination of defensive zone starts and consistent ice-time against the other team's best players. And he's still been one of the toughest forwards in the league to score against.
3) Mikko Koivu, Minnesota Wild
Corsi Rel QOC: 1.261
Offensive Zone Starts: 42.1%
Goals Against Per 60 Minutes Played (5-on-5): 1.53
If the Minnesota Wild are going to continue to win games and stay at the top of the Western Conference they're going to have to do it with defense. I'm still not entirely sold on them long-term, mainly due to their lack of offense, but what I am sold on is that Mikko Koivu is one of the better two-way centers in the NHL, and nothing about that has changed this season.
The Wild still use him in the toughest spots against the best players, and along with out-of-this-world goaltending, he's been one of the driving forces behind their surprising start.

Diifficult to grill. Boned thighs are very floppy. But once done, this is tasty.flag if inappropriate
Very good as well as quick and easy. I also marinated boneless skinless thighs over night with low sodium soy .flag if inappropriate
This is a very easy and delicious dish. I marinated it overnight and used boneless chicken breasts as well (which turned out very tender). I used low-sodium soy sauce so maybe that's why it wasn't too salty.flag if inappropriate
This is quick, easy and delicious. One caution - don't marinate the chicken more than 15 minutes. The first time I made this it was great, with a nice balance among all flavors in the marinade. But the second time I let it sit for about 30 minutes and the soy overwhelmed everything else. It was so salty we almost couldn't eat it - so watch the time and you'll be fine!flag if inappropriate
This was a very good marinade recipe. The only thing I did differently was add one tablespoon of sesmae oil. I also cooked the chicken under the broiler for about 6 mins each side (i flattened the thighs and put them on skewers). Family gobbled it up and claimed it to be a "do-over". Great weeknight dinner - it's ready in no time.flag if inappropriate
