1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the use of partially defective direct Rambus DRAM ("RDRAM") chips. More particularly, the present invention relates to the recovery of RDRAM components that do not have all memory areas accessible by appropriately configuring a plurality of the defective RDRAM components to simulate the operation of a fully operational RDRAM chip.
2. State of the Art
As is well known in the art, during the production of monolithic memory devices from silicon wafers, some of the memory storage cells can become unreliable or fail to function altogether. These defective cells can be the result of a number of causes such as impurities introduced in the process of manufacturing the monolithic memory device from the silicon wafer, or localized imperfections in the silicon substrate itself. As used herein, the term "silicon" is intended to encompass all semiconductor materials.
Often, while some memory cells are defective, many other cells on the same memory chip are not defective and will work reliably and accurately. Additionally, it is often the case that the defective cells are localized and confined to particular connections from the memory device. The remaining non-defective connections can be relied upon to provide a consistent and accurate representation of the information in the storage cell. Testing procedures well known in the art are performed to determine how many, and which, cells within a memory chip are good or accessible and how many, and which, are defective. In this way it can readily be determined and mapped which DQ connectors reliably send and receive accurate and valid data to and from which non-defective cells.
Techniques have been developed for salvaging the non-defective portions of defective asynchronous memory technologies (e.g., DRAM). Asynchronous memory technologies are relatively slow devices that operate in response to control signals generated by a memory controller, rather than in response to the system clock. The control signals allow the asynchronous memory device to operate at a speed that is much slower than the system clock, which ensures reliable read and write memory operations.
Techniques have also been developed for salvaging non-defective portions of some forms of synchronous memory technologies such as SDRAM. SDRAM devices are much faster than asynchronous devices principally because SDRAM is capable of synchronizing itself with the microprocessor's clock. This synchronization can eliminate the time delays and wait states often necessary with prior memory technologies (e.g., DRAM), and allows for fast, consecutive read and write capability.
Synchronous memory devices such as Rambus DRAM "RDRAM" include a data bus architecture which departs from the backplane bus architecture typical in prior DRAM and SDRAM systems. U.S. Pat. No. 5,513,327 (Farmwald et al.), the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, describes the differences in the structure and function of RDRAM versus prior art SDRAM and DRAM.
However, no attempts known to the inventors have been made to date to salvage non-defective portions of partially defective RDRAM devices. Some people skilled in the art believe that the use of known techniques for salvaging defective memory devices would not work to salvage RDRAM components because RDRAM operates at much higher speeds than previous memory devices (presently up to 800 Mb/s per pin or 1.6 GB/s per device).
The present invention addresses the problem of salvaging partially defective RDRAM devices. In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of partially defective RDRAM devices is placed in a parallel configuration, assigned the same device ID numbers and substituted for a single non-defective RDRAM device during fabrication of a memory module to simulate that single non-defective RDRAM device. Defective DQ connectors may also be left unconnected to, or separated from, corresponding data lines such that each data line is only connected to one non-defective DQ connector of the plurality of partially defective RDRAM devices.
The nature of the present invention as well as other embodiments of the present invention may be more clearly understood by reference to the following detailed description of the invention, to the appended claims, and to the several drawings herein, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a prior art computer memory system using a wait state control device with DRAM memory chips;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a prior art computer memory system employing SDRAM memory chips;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a prior art computer memory system employing RDRAM memory chips;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a partially defective RDRAM device;
FIG. 5 is a memory map showing the localized nature of defective memory cells in one memory bank of an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a computer memory system employing partially defective RDRAM devices in an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a computer memory system employing partially defective RDRAM devices in another embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a computer system employing partially defective RDRAM devices according to the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a prior art computer memory system comprising a microprocessor 16, a memory controller 14, main memory 12, and a system clock 20. In the system shown, main memory 12 is made up of asynchronous dynamic random access memory ("DRAM"). As is well known in the art, due to differences in speed between the microprocessor 16 and the DRAM 12, it is often necessary to insert "wait states" when the microprocessor carries out a memory operation involving the DRAM 12. Typically, the DRAM 12 is slower than the microprocessor 16, so one or more additional wait states are added to the microprocessor's memory access cycle to ensure that the main memory 12 is given a sufficient amount of time to carry out the memory (read/write) operation.
In addition, the clock 20 in the system of FIG. 1 is not a direct input to the DRAM 12. Instead, as is well known in the art, control signals are derived from the clock, and the DRAM 12 is operated through the use of these control signals. The signals presented to the DRAM device 12 change relatively slowly compared to the rate at which the clock changes.
FIG. 2 depicts a block diagram of a prior art computer memory system comprising a clock 22, a microprocessor 24, a memory controller 26, and main memory 28 made of synchronous dynamic random access memory ("SDRAM"). Unlike the system of FIG. 1, the SDRAM 28 is synchronized with the clock 22. This synchronization is effective to eliminate some or all of the wait states normally necessary with DRAM devices, and it also allows for fast, consecutive read and write capability. Unlike FIG. 1, in FIG. 2 the clock 22 is provided as a direct input to the main memory 28.
FIG. 3 depicts a block diagram of a prior art computer memory system comprising a memory controller 30 driving signals to and receiving signals from a plurality of RDRAM devices or chips 32, 34 and 36. The signals are communicated through a signal bus 38 comprising two clock signal lines, a command signal line and a plurality of data lines. As used herein, the term "data line" is not intended to be limited simply to the data lines found on the signal bus, but is intended to include any communication pathway which may lead to the signal bus and is intended for use in communicating data. A serial data line (SD) 37, which originates from and terminates to the memory controller 30, is coupled to each RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36 in series. The signal bus 38 is accessible by each RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36. Of particular interest in the configuration shown is that each RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36 is in communication with all of the available data lines on the signal bus 38.
One characteristic of RDRAM devices resulting, in part, from the unique bus architecture employed therein, is that each RDRAM device is a complete, independent memory subsystem. Each RDRAM device contains its own set of internal registers which preferably include a device identification ("device ID") register, a device-type descriptor register, control registers and other necessary information registers. These registers, or some equivalent of them, also specify the memory addresses contained within that particular RDRAM device.
Most of the registers can be modified and preferably are set as part of an initialization sequence which occurs when the system is powered-up or reset. During the initialization sequence, each RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36 of the system as shown in FIG. 3 is assigned a unique device ID number through the serial data line (SD) 37. The device ID number is stored in the respective device ID register for each RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36. The memory controller 30 can then use these device ID numbers to access the information within a specific RDRAM device. In operation, the memory controller 30 sends a request packet (a sequence of bytes comprising address and control information) to one or more of the RDRAM devices 32, 34 and 36 in communication with the signal bus 38. Each RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36 in communication with the signal bus 38 must then decode the request packet to see if that RDRAM device 32, 34 and 36 needs to respond to the request. The specific RDRAM device to which the request packet is directed may respond by returning one or more bytes (8 bits) of data on the signal bus 38 or by storing information available on the signal bus 38. In this way, the specific RDRAM device in which the requested address is located may access the appropriate address to retrieve or store data.
FIG. 4 depicts a block diagram of a partially defective RDRAM device 40 comprising sixteen DQ connectors 42. Of the sixteen DQ connectors 42 in the RDRAM device 40 shown, eight are non-defective, meaning they consistently and reliably produce and receive valid or accurate data as determined by any of several testing procedures well known in the art. Which testing procedure is used depends upon the testing equipment used. Semiconductor testing equipment is manufactured and distributed by many companies including Schlumberger of San Jose, Calif., and Advent of Des Plaines. The "X" located beside each of DQ0-DQ7 indicates defective DQ connectors and is shown as being adjacent only for ease of explanation. It should be understood that the present invention does not require any particular arrangement for the defective or non-defective DQ connectors on a particular RDRAM device. For example, the defective DQ connectors could also be randomly distributed among the totality of the DQ connectors 42. The principle for using partially defective RDRAM in accordance with the invention is the same whether the defective DQ connectors are adjacent or randomly distributed. Any combination would be appropriate. Furthermore, the invention does not require that for each partially defective RDRAM device, the defective DQ connectors be arranged in the same or any particular order. It is preferable only that the non-defective DQ connectors be identifiable to avoid incorrect data transfer.
FIG. 5 depicts a memory map showing the localized nature of defective memory cells in one memory bank of an embodiment of the present invention. The "D"s represent defective memory cells and the "01"s represent non-defective memory cells. As can be seen from FIG. 5, in the particular RDRAM device of FIG. 4, the defects 44 are such that every addressable 16 bit memory location has both reliable 45 and unreliable (or unused) portions, and they are consistently arranged within each addressable region. This result may follow from the nature of the defect, where certain DQ connectors always present valid data, whereas other DQ connectors may not be reliable and may occasionally present bad data. Defects in the silicon or impurities introduced in the chip fabrication process will often result in defects 44 like those illustrated in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 depicts a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention comprising a memory controller 46 driving signals to and receiving signals from a plurality of RDRAM devices 48, 50, 52 and 54, at least some of which are partially defective. As used herein, the term "partially defective" device means a device with at least some non-functional or non-addressable memory, while a "non-defective" or "fully operational" device is a device exhibiting at least the amount of addressable, functional memory for which the device was designed. Distinct from the system shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment of the invention includes two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50. Each partially defective RDRAM device 48 and 50 used in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 has at least 8 non-defective DQ connectors. The two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50 are substituted for a single non-defective RDRAM device during fabrication of the RDRAM Rambus Inline Memory Module ("RIMM"). In other words, the two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50 simulate and perform the function of a single non-defective RDRAM device in a non-defective RDRAM RIMM.
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, a first partially defective RDRAM device 0 a 48 is placed in communication with data lines 0-7, and a second partially defective RDRAM device 0 b 50 is placed in communication with data lines 8-15. In this way, each of the sixteen data lines is in communication with only one of the partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50. By coupling the serial data line (SD) 43 to the serial data inputs (SDl) 47 and 51 of each of the two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50 which are simulating the same non-defective RDRAM device, and coupling the serial data output (SDO) 53 from only one of the two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 or 50 to the next sequential non-defective RDRAM device 52, each of the two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50 are assigned the same device ID number during initialization. Because each RDRAM device 48, 50, 52 and 54 has its own registers and makes an individual assessment as to whether it needs to respond to a request packet detected on the signal bus 56, the two partially defective RDRAM devices 48 and 50, which otherwise would have been scrapped as defective, can be effectively used in combination to simulate a single non-defective RDRAM device. The serial data output (SDO) 49 of the partial RDRAM device 0 a 48 is coupled to a termination 55 on the RDRAM RIMM. The termination couples the output to a termination voltage, typically through a resistive element such as a resistor (not shown).
It is important to note that due to the byte masking process used in RDRAM systems, signals directed along the data lines of the signal bus 56 are associated with either the first group of data lines (0-7) or the second group of data lines (8-15). Signals associated with the first group of data lines (0-7) must be received by one of the RDRAM terminals DQ0-7, and signals associated with the second group of data lines (8-15) must be received by one of RDRAM terminals DQ8-15. Thus, for example, a system having any of RDRAM terminals DQ8-15 connected to any of data lines 0-7 may not function properly. Similarly, a system having any of RDRAM terminals DQ0-7 connected to any of data lines 8-15 may not function properly.
As will be clear to one of skill in the art, the invention described herein is not limited to substituting only two partially defective RDRAM devices for one non-defective RDRAM device. In theory, though it may become impractical at some point due to space or "real estate" restrictions on the carrier substrate for the RIMM, one could use any number of partially defective RDRAM devices up to the number of data lines available (for the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, 16 data lines) to simulate a single non-defective RDRAM device by placing them each in parallel, programmed with the same device ID, and each connected to distinct data lines. Additionally, a plurality of RDRAM devices could be used to simulate each of the fully operational RDRAM devices required for a given application. Presently, it is most preferred to use only two partially defective RDRAM devices to simulate each of any number of non-defective RDRAM devices in a RDRAM RIMM.
By example, however, to show the versatility of the invention in accommodating partially defective chips with a variety of configurations, FIG. 7 depicts an example in which an RDRAM RIMM with memory capacity equivalent to that of eight non-defective RDRAM devices is formed using 20 partially defective RDRAM devices 60-98. In this embodiment, a combination of either two, three or four partially defective RDRAM devices having various numbers of non-defective DQ connectors ranging from one to fifteen non-defective DQ connectors simulates the function of each non-defective RDRAM device. As should be clear by the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the number of data lines to which a particular RDRAM device is connected will depend upon the number of non-defective DQ connectors. It should be understood, however, that not every non-defective DQ connector need be used for a particular partially defective RDRAM device. Furthermore, although the embodiment in FIG. 6 shows 16 available data lines, up to 18 data lines are presently common on RDRAM devices, and more could be adapted for use with this invention by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Regardless of how many data lines are available, a combination of partially defective RDRAM devices with at least the appropriate number of non-defective DQ connectors having appropriate data associations may be used to simulate an equivalent of a non-defective RDRAM device. To do so, the partially defective RDRAM devices used to simulate a single non-defective RDRAM device are connected to the signal bus in parallel such that at least one non-defective DQ connector having an appropriate data association (0-7 or 8-15) is coupled to each data line, coupled by their respective serial data inputs to a common serial data signal line and assigned the same device ID number. For all but one of the partially defective RDRAM devices used to simulate a single non-defective RDRAM device, the serial data outputs are coupled to a termination 58. For the remaining partially defective RDRAM serial data output not coupled to a termination, it is coupled to the next sequential RDRAM serial data input. If there are multiple sets of partially defective RDRAM devices, each set simulating a single non-defective RDRAM device, each set is similarly coupled to the system.
It will be understood by one of skill in the art that the way in which specific defective or otherwise unused DQ connectors are placed out of communication with, or electrically isolated from, the data lines on the system bus may vary. Such electric isolation includes not only physical isolation through a fuse, an anti-fuse, or a lack of electrical path, but also includes electric isolation by software programming. In one embodiment of the present invention, the circuit traces or other conductive communication lines (including any electrical connections) on the module carrier substrate (such as a printed circuit board) are not configured to connect the defective DQ connectors to the data lines through a system interface. In another embodiment, the defective DQ connectors for each RDRAM device are taken out of communication with the data line by fusable devices such as fuses or anti-fuses coupled to each DQ connector to break such communication links to the RDRAM device. Fuses and anti-fuses are commonly used in semiconductor applications and are well known in the art. There are also other ways to restrict or prevent communication between the defective DQ connectors and the data lines which will be clear to those of skill in the art. Most preferably, however, for the present invention, communication to defective DQ connectors and data lines is prevented by lack of a conductive trace on the printed circuit board extending to the defective DQ connector.
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a computer system 100 which includes RDRAM 102 comprising at least two partially defective RDRAM devices. The computer system 100 includes a processor 104 for performing various computing functions, such as executing specific software to perform specific calculations or tasks. In addition, the computer system 100 includes one or more input devices 108, such as a keyboard or a mouse, coupled to the processor 104 to allow an operator to interface with the computer system 100. Typically, the computer system 100 also includes one or more output devices 110 coupled to the processor 104, such output devices typically being a printer, a video terminal or a network connection. One or more data storage devices 112 are also typically coupled to the processor 104 to store data or retrieve data from external storage media (not shown). Examples of typical storage devices 112 include hard and floppy disks, tape cassettes, and compact disks. The processor 104 is also typically coupled to a cache memory 114, which is usually static random access memory ("SRAM"), and to a chipset 116 which acts as an interface between the processor 104 and the RDRAM 102.
Although the present invention has been shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments, various additions, deletions and modifications that are obvious to a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, even if not shown or specifically described herein, are deemed to lie within the scope of the invention as encompassed by the following claims.

There will be live Las Vegas entertainment, raffle prizes, silent and live auctions which include items from Tara Fine Jewelry in Buford, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and a cash bar.
The money will benefit the nonprofit and its mission to "support adults with developmental disabilities by building and sustaining individual independence."
The gala will be held at the 1818 Club located at 6500 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.
"Elegantly chic attire" is requested for the event. For more information, visit www.hihopecenter.org.

At least 21 people were killed and up to 75 wounded in a suicide car bomb attack at a police headquarters that one official said was retaliation for Osama bin Laden's killing.
The attack occurred in the center of Hilla, the capital city of Babil Province some 62 miles south of Baghdad.
At least 75 people also were wounded in the attack, which occurred during a handover between the overnight and morning shifts, the Interior Ministry said, CNN reports. Most of the killed and wounded were police officers, Xinhua reports.
The attack bears the hallmark of Al Qaeda in Iraq, and Kadhim Majeed Toman, chairman of the Babil provincial council said, "I believe today's attack was revenge from Al Qaeda after the killing of bin Laden in Pakistan."
Iraqi security forces have been on high alert throughout Iraq since bin Laden's killing in a raid on his Pakistan compound by U.S. Navy SEALs on May 1.
Al Qaeda is a largely Sunni Muslim group, and attacks have been confined to areas with significant Sunni populations, CNN reports.
Violence is down considerably in Iraq from its peak between 2005 and 2007, but assassinations, bombings and other attacks remain regular occurrences.

"I love how easy it is to personalize these and they are the perfect size for me! Just large enough for a short 'n sweet note to show my gratitude."
"Such a lovely, elegant little card! My daughter used a senior picture on the front, a simple message inside, and sent them as thank-you's for graduation gifts."
"Just love this note card! I was planning just to order a simple card with a decorative name on it, but customizing it with two pretty photos was even better. The setup process was very easy and the finished quality was perfect!"
"The quality was excellent. The format allowed me to present one custom message and signature, but also left enough room to write a personalized note. Most importantly, this photo card is much more than just a thank you, it is a keepsake. I actually received thank you notes for my beautiful thank you note."
"I purchased these as thank yous for my bridal shower. I really like the thickness. I wrote with a super fine Sharpie and it did not bleed through. It is small, so keep that in mind. The website does say the size, but I managed to skip that important detail. I purchased the matching address labels and I spent extra on the nicer envelopes. Excellent design and quality. Highly recommend!"

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been rocking stages for more than three decades, bringing their trashing, funking sound to fans all around the globe since before Grammy-winner Bruno Mars was born.
So when the two acts got together for a record-setting
Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday you knew the combination of Mars' throw-back pop soul and the Peppers' manic punk energy were going to blow the roof off MetLife Stadium. And they did.
Only some astute observers noticed something weird during the bit where Mars joined the Peps for their hit "Give it Away" midway through the set: bassist Flea and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer didn't appear to be plugged into any amps.
We're used to lip synching controversies during the National Anthem before the game, but a rock band faking it?
"No trickery. No choice, but no trickery," Flea wrote on Monday after conspiracy theories began to spread about the bands' lack of guitar cords or wireless systems to amplify their sound.
No trickery. No choice, but no trickery
— Flea (@flea333) February 4, 2014
Flea's tweet-mission reportedly came after a fan called him out. "@flea333 Please tell me there is no cable bc you wanted us to know the music was tracked!" said Craig Helmreich.
@flea333 Please tell me there is no cable bc you wanted us to know the music was tracked! You're not really faking if everyone is in on it.
— Craig Helmreich (@cjhelmreich) February 4, 2014
It is not unheard of for singers to pre-track their vocals while singing at big events to account for any possible technical or weather-related issues. But it remains unclear why the Peppers would have mimed their guitar and bass parts when Mars' band appeared to have played their parts live.
Flea's tweet suggests that the circumstances forced the band to pantomime, but at press time spokespeople for the Chili Peppers and the NFL could not be reached for comment or to clarify what went on.
The Fansided blog helped break the story earlier in the day, posting images of Flea plucking his bass amid no evidence that his instrument was plugged into anything.
Guitarist Joe Bonamassa weighed into the controversy, writing, "Flea, I mean we all know, but for god's sake at least try to humor the children. #unpluggedlive."

Iran's Actions in Iraq Scrutinized
Pentagon Report Accuses Tehran of Supplying Arms Even as Violence Declines
WASHINGTON -- A Pentagon report will accuse Iran of continuing to funnel weapons and training personnel into Iraq, adding fuel to a heated debate among U.S. policy makers about whether Iran deserves any credit for the steep declines in Iraq's once-unrelenting violence.
The military assessment about Iraq, set to be released to Congress today, will paint a positive picture of Iraq's overall security situation, according to several officials familiar with its contents.
Fight for Iraq
See continuing coverage of developments in Iraq, including an interactive map of day-to-day events in Iraq and a tally of military deaths.
See an interactive map of Iraq's border with Turkey, with details on ethnicities, oil infrastructure, and major cities and towns.
Would further diplomatic engagement with Iran improve security in Iraq? Share your thoughts.
The report will cite data showing declines in the overall number of attacks on U.S. and Iraqi fatalities as well as improvements in basic services like electricity generation to argue that conditions on the ground in Iraq have markedly improved in the past six months, these officials said.
U.S. troop deaths, for instance, declined to 37 last month and 13 so far in December from 126 in May, while Iraqi fatalities have registered similar declines.
Less optimistically, the report will note that Iraq's political environment remains unsettled, and that the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki continues to struggle to pass key legislation like a measure making it easier for former members of the Baath Party to return to government jobs, the officials said.
On Iran, the report also will reiterate U.S. accusations that Iran is sending sophisticated explosives, rockets and mortars into Iraq, these people said.
"It's not arguing that Iran's behavior is getting worse, but it's also not arguing that Iran's behavior is getting better," said one U.S. officer familiar with the report.
The report comes amid a growing internal debate among senior U.S. commanders and civilian policy makers about whether Iran is continuing to try to destabilize Iraq or if it has instead begun to curtail such efforts.
The dispute centers on a steep falloff in the number of attacks linked to a deadly form of roadside bomb, so-called explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, that the U.S. has long accused Iran of funneling to Shiite militants across Iraq.
The Iranian question is an increasingly central concern for U.S. military commanders and senior policy makers who are trying to decide whether to broaden the Bush administration's tentative diplomatic outreach to Tehran in the hope of winning further Iranian cooperation in stabilizing Iraq.
Military officials say they are trying to reconcile the drop in EFP attacks with other evidence suggesting that Iran is continuing other clandestine activities inside Iraq.
"At times we think we are seeing positive signs, then all of a sudden we capture some people who were just recently trained in Iran," a U.S. military official in Baghdad said yesterday. "We have seen some indications of lowered attacks using the weapons, but we are not sure if it is due to their stopping the flow, our finding them and the networks, or a combination of both or neither."
In an interview in Baghdad late last month, Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said that the military didn't know how much of the EFP decline to attribute to Iran and how much came from other factors, like the cease-fire declared by Shiite militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr.
"There is very much a wait-and-see attitude by everyone involved," he said.

Call for Authors
We're preparing for the "Community" issue of Linux Journal, which comes out this summer, and since the topic is community, we figured we should reach out to our community for articles and ideas!
Basically, we're looking for articles that showcase the Linux community. If that sounds vague, good. There are many aspects to our community, and we'd like to demonstrate how diverse our roles and involvement might be. Some off-the-cuff possible article topics we're looking for:
* Communication: This is vital for a community. How do you best communicate? Do you use specialty software? Wikis? Forums? VoIP? What interesting bit of communication mastery do you have that we might all benefit from hearing?
* LUGS: What does your LUG do that others might not? How can we all benefit from meatspace meetings? We don't want to read the minutes from your last quarterly meeting, but if your LUG or LUG-like organization is doing something unique, maybe other Linux Journal readers would like to hear about it.
* CRM: I'm not suggesting we treat each other like customers, but how do we keep track of each other in our community? Perhaps this is something only I struggle with, but maybe not. I'm too forgetful to be a good community member; how can forgetful people like myself still be a valuable member?
* The Kernel: Perhaps the pinnacle of our ability to work together in the Linux community. Linux IS the kernel. How has the community changed? Has it gotten better? Worse? I'm not a history fan myself, but I'd like to read about how the kernel and the kernel community has progressed over the years.
So there you go. That's just a few examples of what we're looking for, but please don't limit your ideas to those I've mentioned. We're looking for *community* input on our community issue. If you've ever wanted to write for Linux Journal, this might be the perfect opportunity! If you are interested in writing an article for this issue, please send a brief proposal explaining what you'd like to cover to email@example.com.
Note that the deadline for articles for this issue is May 2, 2011.
UPDATE: Bill pointed out in the comments that we didn't include a link to our standard author page. Please allow me to remedy that. ;o)
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
Too vague...
I like the call for authors and the fact that you gave the due date, but what are the expected word counts and how much are you paying for articles? (Feel free to email me privately if you prefer.)
- Bill
No Prob
Sorry Bill,
Our standard author information still applies:
I'll update the story to include that link too. Thanks!
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
doesn't say how much you pay
Nowhere do you say how much you pay, though hundreds of words are devoted to railing against passive voice. Anyway, good luck with the community issue, it should be a good one.
Thanks Shawn! You guys do a GREAT JOB!!! :)
- Bill
An idea
I'm, for sure, not the best person to write an article in English ;) You probably already had been figured out why !!!
But, I've found a very interesting document in the Government Web site that shows one success case of Open Software use. As you probably knows, Brasilian Gov. adopt a policy for encouraging the public sector to use Open/free Software.
I think that it could be a very interesting article, even more, after the recent notice from the German Gov, that is driving back to M$ world.
Of course two things will be necessary, in order we can do this job:
First - I'll need to ask for permission to the author ;
Second - (If the author permits) I'll write a context and translate the original, but you'll need to help me with the text revisions and improvements.
Best regards,

Defensive Patent License Shields Against Infringement Suits
UC Berkeley professors devise a way to protect FOSS developers
UC Berkeley law professors Jason Schultz and Jennifer Urban may have found a way to successfully shield open source developers from project-killing patent infringement law suits. The catch being that their solution requires the FOSS community to [gasp] file patents.
Schultz and Urban's solution, the Defensive Patent License, requires a group of copyright owners that dedicate their patents solely to defensive purposes. Much like GPL there is a standardized license that is distributed within the group.
Much of the DPL revolves around the honor system. Members of a DPL must submit all of their patents to the defensive patent portfolio and should a member choose to leave, he or she can't revoke the patents already submitted. Group members can use all patents within the portfolio royalty-free as long as they don't file an offensive lawsuit or withdraw any patents from the portfolio. This ties in with the biggest point of the DPL: members of a patent portfolio have to agree that the patents are being filed expressly for defensive purposes, no money is to be made off of licenses or offensive suits.
Much of the DPL is still undecided at this point and there are some key issues that haven't been fully addressed yet. More on DPL as it develops.

Follow-on from this question: If I want to calculate a value based on a user's selection from a drop down list, and put that value into a form variable/model property, how do I do that?
Really, if I had a single advice to give any ASP.NET MVC developer that would be: use a view model and forget about ViewBag/ViewData. In 99% of the cases that is the solution to his questions/problems.
So here's the minimal view model that will allow you to properly represent a dropdown list:
then have a controller action that will populate and pass this view model to the view:
then you could have a corresponding strongly typed view to this view model that could contain a form and the dropdown list:
and finally you could have a corresponding action on your controller to which this form will be submitted and inside which you will be able to retrieve the selected value from the dropdown list:
I guess (info from the previous question) you want to get the Item Price data using ajax based on the selected Item in the dropdown and send that to your action method as part of the normal form post.
Step1) Create the ViewModel for Product.
Step2) Create a Product Controller like this
Step 3) Add the Strongly typed View
When you change the selected item in the drop down, using jQuery ajax, it will make a call to GetPrice Action method and get the data. Show it in the div and set as the Value of HiddenField for ItemPrice.
and When you post the Form, You will have it present in the ViewModel posted.
Hope this helps.

"People are so relegated to the house, so depressed. They need an outlet, and flowers immediately open the door to the outside and to springtime."
"If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up."
"I do appreciate it. They are talking about it on media outlets I didn't have plans to market the movie to. They are helping me out."
"You get to a point where the factual adjudication doesn't matter because there are all these other outlets that are far less responsible, all talking about the ad, some of which have a political reason for promoting it."
"I look at it favorably if they have a well-managed outlet policy, but you don't want the outlet driving the growth. But not to be in this market is a mistake since it's an important customer and a different demographic."
"Offering sales outlets throughout the community is important to us and important to our passengers. Making riding the bus convenient and easy is one of our goals. U.S. Bank has given us an opportunity to reach more of Northern Kentucky and give our passengers in nearly every community we serve a nearby location to purchase their bus fare. And hopefully, having bus passes in each branch will give U.S. Bank the opportunity to turn some of our customers into U.S. Bank customers."
