I want to make Postfix unable to receive mail. I just want to be able to send mail with Postfix, not the other way around. Is that possible? If so, can anyone tell me how to do that? Thanks.
Inside your (/etc/postfix/)main.cf:
This way it only listen to localhost (via loopback). Make sure you restart (or reload) the server after change.
Choose satellite system.
Provide your ISP's smtp server as the smarthost.
Preferrably choose a valid domain name to mask local adresses.
When asked about which subnets to listen on, provide only the loopback interface's 127.0.0.1
Similarly, only provide localhost (and optionally the hostsname) as final mail destination.
The system will now support a minimum of local mail delivery, accept no mail from external hosts and send all outgoing mail through the smarthost.
you can also block the incoming port 25 with iptables
Coolwater and Roy are correct, by default 'Satellite' will still internally deliver full addresses for your own hostname. This is wrong for anyone with third party or external MX records. Many options available in reconfigure are not available during install.
So if you want mail to 'fred' to be delivered locally but not

Photographers with more than one camera body, or who use several cards in a session, would benefit greatly from being able to import from more than one card into Lightroom without having to start separate import sessions individually. However the Lightroom Import dialog doesn't appear to allow for importing from more than one Source at the same time. Is it possible to import more than one card at a time (assuming you have more than one card reader)?
Yes, this can be done. If you ignore the 'Devices' part of the Lightroom import dialog and instead look at the 'Files' part, ensuring you have 'Include subfolders' checked, you can cmd+click (Mac) or ctrl+click (Win) to select more than one source to import from.
There is a video showing how this is achieved at this page on Petapixel. This works in Lightroom 3 and 4.
In Jared Platt's workshop, The Ultimate Lightroom Workflow, he advises against 1) importing from the camera and 2) using the same catalog for all your projects.
He recommends that you need to manually copy the images off the memory card and organize them into folders before importing into lightroom. However, it's a whole workflow concept so you really need to watch the videos to see why it works so well and what's wrong with this current approach.
If you're on a mac, I've found it faster to copy each card to disk via a Finder copy, and then import everything from disk in one import session. If you use a multi-card reader, you can do multiple copies in parallel to a folder, and then import that folder once everything is on disk.

What is the best way to mount an image in Windows 7 64-bit?
closed as not constructive by slhck Dec 12 '12 at 12:42
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
virtual clone drive, howto is here
OK, there's a lot of them out there and I've tried them all. WinCDEmu is completely seamless within the Windows Explorer environment. Want to mount an image? Just right click on the file and select a drive letter and it's done. You can install it as a driver or you can just use the standalone version. This is by far the best one other there and best of all, it's free!
DAEMON Tools Lite
I'm a big fan of portable apps that don't need to be installed and leave virtually no footprint. WinCDEmu is an open source, portable app that works in Windows 7 64 bit (that's what I'm running). I like it because it only temporarily "installs" its drivers when you actually launch the app, so there's no additional overhead when the software is not being used.
It doesn't have the windows Explorer or context menu bells and whistles that some of the other offerings have, and it could really benefit from a drag-and-drop update. But other than the minor inconvenience of having to go through a file dialog to mount your images, it works great.
Daemon Tools Pro claims full Win7 support in its latest version. This is the paid version of Daemon Tools.
Virtual CloneDrive also claims full support (HOWTO link from akira's post).
Alcohol 52% (free) or Alcohol 120% if you want the paid-for bells & whistles...
Use Power ISO 4.5
It's easier than Daemon Tools or any virtual drive software.

This FAQ sheet accompanies World Vision's presentation of a new report, Telling Our Stories: Leveraging food assistance for a hunger-free world (PDF) at a World Food Day event at the European Parliament in Brussels.
South Sudan's food insecurity crisis hasn't worsened to the point of famine, but the threat still looms large with meager crops potentially only delaying life-threatening hunger.
A group of leading aid agencies, including World Vision, warned today that parts of South Sudan — already the world's worse food crisis — could fall into famine early next year if the nine-month long conflict escalates as expected.
Grundfos, the world's leading pump manufacturer, and World Vision — the largest non-governmental provider of clean water in the developing world — announced a new partnership to provide clean water to 2 million people in sub-Saharan Africa over the next five years.
World Vision partners with Cascade Designs and several global health non-profit organizations to develop a new water purification device to bring clean water to populations around the world.

A credit score is a concept that most consumers don't fully understand and often don't realize it is used more than just by financial institutions. Understanding what a credit score is and how it is used can be extremely important. It is also important to understand the difference between a credit report and a credit score.

There are several ways you can catch up on your retirement savings and it's never too late to begin.

I was quite surprised to learn that the GNU project has an independent kernel of their own called Hurd. And there are mainstream distributions like Arch Hurd and Debian GNU/Hurd which uses it. Is there any significant advantage for Hurd over Linux?
At this point in time, considering there is no "stable" distribution of GNU/Hurd, the major advantages seem to lie with Linux.
A good place to start understanding the differences between a Mach microkernel, and a traditional monolithic unix kernel is the Wikipedia page on Mach (Kernel).
As an interesting note, Mac OS X, uses a Mach Kernel, called XNU. Though based on Mach 3.0, it's not a microkernel, like Hurd is. It makes sense, since Jobs brought the Mach kernel from NeXT to Apple when Apple bought NeXT.
Happy Reading.
Hurd was the original 'anticipated' kernel BEFORE Linux existed. It has been under development, seemingly for years. During that time, Linus Torvalds along with volunteers worldwide, developed and implemented a kernel that is large, but worked. It was enhanced with programmers from many software firms including Redhat, HP and IBM. It is reliable and works. Mach adhere to the Minix philosophy of having a simple microkernel. I would suggest you take a look at the work of Minix if you would like to see the differences in philosophy. Though the microkernel may have some theoretical advantages, all of the literature I have read, seems to favor the kernel strategy taken by Linux.
You can consider Two points of view of with "Free software".
The point of view of Linus Torvalds: Free, but try to integrate other type of software (proprietary driver, proprietary software...)
The Point of view of Richard Stallman: If you make free software it's not to integrate private software which can spy on you and make money with your data. Richard Stallman develop is project with minority compare of Linus Torvalds' community.
Here are some further thoughts on the OS differences that arise from different kernel architectures (monolithic kernel vs microkernel).

For Giants, It's Win and Out
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—In a game that felt more like a heartbreaking defeat than a lopsided win, the Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles 42-7 in their regular-season finale Sunday, but saw their faint playoff hopes finally extinguished.
The Giants' fate was sealed moments after the players left the field at MetLife Stadium. In Detroit, the Chicago Bears wrapped up a nervous victory over the Lions, and with that, the Giants' defense of their Super Bowl title came to an end.
For a season that once promised so much, it was a bitter way for the defending champions to bow out. Sunday's rout served as a reminder that few teams can live with the Giants when they play at their best, but this team was ultimately doomed by a pair of shocking losses in Atlanta and Baltimore the previous two weeks.
Those defeats meant the Giants entered Sunday's game relying on three other results to go their way. When the first of those didn't, their season was over.
"You never rely on anyone else in this business," said coach Tom Coughlin. "You have to take care of your own business—and we certainly had our chances."
In the end, it was a season of missed opportunities for the Giants. This team looked like a lock to make the playoffs when it started out 6-2, and even during a second-half slide in which the Giants dropped five of their final eight games, there were emphatic wins over Green Bay and New Orleans that highlighted their promise. The Giants' 9-7 record is identical to the one posted by last season's Super Bowl winners.
But fourth-quarter collapses against Pittsburgh and Washington and embarrassing no-shows in pivotal games against Cincinnati, Atlanta and Baltimore ultimately cost the Giants the chance to control their playoff destiny.
"It definitely stings," said wide receiver Victor Cruz. "After coming off a season like we did last year, winning the Super Bowl, you want to get it and go back to the playoffs and potentially do that again. It hurts a little bit."
What surely makes the failure more painful is that Sunday's blowout of an overmatched Eagles team gave a tantalizing glimpse of what might have been.
The Giants offense, which had been lifeless the past two weeks, suddenly looked unstoppable. Behind a dominant performance from his offensive line, Eli Manning tossed a career-high five touchdown passes and the Giants rolled up 185 yards on the ground thanks to a bounceback game from Ahmad Bradshaw, who finished with 107 yards on 16 carries and eclipsed the 1,000-yard barrier for the season.
The defense, which had been lit up in each of the past two weeks, held the Eagles to just a single touchdown and surrendered just four plays longer than 15 yards.
And the Giants got a couple of belated breakout performances from a pair of rookies. Even as Bradshaw and Hakeem Nicks have limped through the season in varying degrees of physical discomfort, the Giants have limited running back David Wilson and receiver Rueben Randle to just a handful of snaps. Here, they saw their most significant action of the season and rose to the occasion.
Wilson rushed 15 times for 75 yards and hauled in a 15-yard touchdown catch, while Randle led all Giants receivers with four catches for 58 yards and two touchdowns, including a 34-yard grab over Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
By the end, a team that was seemingly limping toward the end of the season had started to look like a squad that could have made some noise in the playoffs.
Within minutes Sunday, it was apparent that the Eagles weren't equipped to handle the frenetic pace and physical play of a fired-up Giants team sitting on two weeks of pent-up frustration. The Giants scored touchdowns on their first four possessions and led 28-7 a little more than halfway through the second quarter.
The Eagles' ineptitude was summed up by a 13-second sequence at the end of the first half in which their offense failed to convert a fourth-and-5 attempt at the Giants' 46-yard line. The defense promptly allowed the Giants to drive 54 yards in two plays, with Cruz catching a 24-yard touchdown just before halftime.
With the outcome all but decided, the second half was played out in a strange atmosphere as the crowd of 80,657 was largely focused on events in Detroit. By the time the game was over, the stadium was mostly empty. The Giants had beaten by the Eagles by 35 points, but no one was in the mood for celebrating.
"We obviously played really well today, so it's good to show that we can still play at a high level," said Manning. "But there's no enjoyment in not going to the playoffs."

MCGREGOR (January 9, 2013)—The McLennan County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging murder Wednesday against Augustine Cantu Jimenez stemming from a deadly stabbing in November 2012 in the parking lot of a restaurant in McGregor.
Police officers arrived just after 12:10 a.m. on Nov. 10, 2012 at Doc's Saloon on Main Street to find Charles Darrell McKenzie, 49, of McGregor, suffering from several stab wounds, according to McGregor police Chief Steve Foster.
He was pronounced dead at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco.
Jimenez, whom police initially identified as Augustine Jimenez Gurrero, was arrested at the McGregor Police Department where he and an injured woman were found in the parking lot.
The woman, Paula Rios, had also been stabbed.
She was flown to Scott & White Hospital in Temple for treatment.
Jimenez remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bond.

The secret to this is the unique hull design. The hull incorporates performance- designed skeggs that give it unparallel stability in cornering. Not only do we have some of the widest gunwales on the market, but now fiberglass inner-liners come standard in all of our models. These not only look good, but add vertical strength integration and make cleanup an absolute breeze.

Steven Somerville, 36, was found guilty of burglary to a non-dwelling, felony obstruction, and felony theft with two prior convictions this week. He will be sentenced Dec. 14.
Somerville's charges are the result of an Aug. 9 incident during which he and 22-year-old Adam Nipper, also of Dodge City, confronted employees at the Pizza Hut located at 1513 W. Wyatt Earp with a weapon and demanded cash.
The pair made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and left the area on foot, according to a news release from the police department.
Somerville was initially charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and counterfeiting but his charges were amended; he plead no contest to the modified offenses.
Nipper was scheduled for an arraignment on kidnapping and aggravated robbery Nov. 16, but after he failed to appear for his court date, a warrant was issued for his arrest. According to court records, Nipper was arrested Nov. 19 and is being held without bond.
Upon the request of his attorney, Steve Cott, Nipper underwent an evaluation by Area Mental Health where it was determined he is competent to stand trial.
The date of Nipper's next court appearance is yet to be determined.

How do you go about mic'ing a guitar amp for live performance? Would you do anything different if you were mic'ing the amp for studio recording? Is there anything specific I should look for in a microphone for either of these scenarios?
Honesty? Any way you want, any way that sounds good to you.
That said, there are a couple of tried-and-true techniques. For live performance, you can't do much better than a simple Shure SM-57 in front of your best-sounding speaker, maybe off-axis if you prefer that sound. 57's sound great and handle the bumps and bruises of live gigs exceptionally well.
Besides miking to accurately reproduce the sound of your amp/speakers, you're also trying to isolate your guitar sound from the rest of the band, so mike placement has to take that into account.
Don't point a mike toward another instrument's amp or toward the drummer, because bleed-through from the other sound source can mess up your sound capture, and make it harder on whoever is running your mix. So, if you put a mike off-axis from the speaker, keep it reasonable.
If you have a good on-stage monitor system, you might want to consider putting your cabinet off-stage with a mike (or mikes) so you can crank the amp head without blowing your ears out. Having it offstage isolates the sound well, then mixing your miked sound into your monitor allows you to hear. The only downside to it is you don't want the speaker and mike in a room where people can get at them. Imagine your surprise to pick up a conversation over that feed.
Personally, I would never mic an amp. It doesn't make any sense to me when you could just run a line from the amp (or straight from the guitar/box) into your recording equipment and have higher audio quality.
You might want to ask this question on Audio.SE as well, they may provide better answers.
There are lot of ways; if you have and amp/cabinet with more than one speaker cone; mic up the best sounding one; one or two dynamic mics will sound very different in different areas of the cone so mess around with it; also; when dialling in your tone on the amp; get your ear as close the the speaker as possible; so you can hear what the mic(s) hear (its very different from the the sound you would hear standing away from the amp so you'll have to adjust accordingly to get the tone you what recorded). Some people also stick a mic around the back of the amp.
The SM58 makes a good microphone for recording, both live and in the studio. (If you don't like the ball cap on the SM58, just unscrew it, and then it is exactly the same as the previous SM57). Set up the mic on a stand, and position the cap of the mic about 2-3 inches from the mesh that covers the speaker. Many people have their own preferences when it comes to positioning around the speaker, and whenever I mic a stand, I usually place the mic at the 8 or 4 O'clock position.
Where the mic goes in relation to the centre of the speaker is quite important.
To close to the centre of the cone and the mic will record a sound that is too bassy.
Too near the edge of the cone and the mic will record a sound that is too trebley.
What you want to find is the 'sweet spot' you hear engineers talk about. This will of course vary with whatever sound you are trying to record.
When amplifying for live performance, I would suggest placing the mic near the middle of the radius of the cone, and then you can adjust the sound from the Amp's EQ controls.
Hope this helps.
Zoog von Rock, crazy frontman of Angelspit, has given a really nice example on how to do this which includes ensuring stereo separation, as well as a balance between low end punch and clarity.
From his blog at angelspit.net:
An image to help explain this:
Check out his blog - he does give a lot of info on how they record various things, and how they do the synths they use extensively.
You could probably write a whole book on this subject; certainly people have written whole chapters.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of "what sounds good, works", and electric guitar players have so many different sounds, there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
Based on reading, not personal experience:
Mic choice
Dynamic mics seem to be the basic workhorse of this job. People like SM-57s.
Ribbon mics might sound lovely, if you can afford them, in the studio. They're probably too fragile, and the benefits too subtle, to be suitable for a lot of live work (although, if you have a nice sedate gig in an orchestra pit or something this might work OK).
Mic placement
With one mic, you already have a range of choices. Perpendicular to the cone, you can point it right at the middle, or on the edge of the cone, or any point in between. As you move outward, the sound will get less bassy and more trebly.
Then, you can change the angle of the mic relative to the cone, to get sound from a wider spread of the cone. The only real way is to listen as you go.
You can use two mics in a combination of the positions described above, and blend them together. Try with the mics both in and out of phase (button on the mixer) -- it will make a huge difference, but only you know which you prefer.
Some people like a second mic on the inside of the cabinet, pointing at the back of the cone.
In the studio, you can place a second mic further back, to capture the room ambience. This isn't likely to work live.

Most mid- and high-end DLSRs offer two or three sizes for RAW capture. When the camera is generating the medium or small sized RAW files, how does it make them smaller? Does it capture less information onto the sensor? Does it capture the full amount of information and then apply some sort of in-camera compression? Does it do something else that I'm not describing?
Douglas Kerr gives a masterful and largely non-mathematical summary at The Canon sRaw and mRaw Output Formats . The situation is complicated and not perfectly understood, but much has been deduced by reverse engineering. Evidently sRaw is a 2 x 2 aggregation but with some chrominance subsampling; mRaw is likely a bona fide resampling (involving local interpolation), with heavier chrominance subsampling. One might indeed characterize each as a form of "in-camera compression" performed in a sophisticated way to optimize the appearance of detail to the human eye for a given output file size.
In a nutshell: smaller "raw" files aggregate the sensor values within blocks of pixels.
For instance, Canon's RAW format conveys information about individual "sensels." Each sensel (or "photosite") responds to a restricted range of frequencies (termed red, green, and blue). Each one of these, when later "developed," will be located at a single pixel site in the final image.
Canon's sRAW format, however, conveys summary information about 2 x 2 blocks of sensels. It reports brightness (luminance) data for each block, but "decimates" (skips over in a regular way) some of the color information. As such, several important things happen:
(Normally, reducing the resolution of an image by a factor of two will decrease its size on disk to one quarter the original. Here, though, the original sensels deliver about 14 bits of information, amounting to 56 bits in each 2 x 2 block in the RAW format. In sRAW, each 2 x 2 block is encoded as three 8-bit pieces, or 24 bits. The resulting data stream is therefore only 24/56 = about 1/2 the size of the original, and is reduced by another 1/3 by the decimation of the chrominance data, for a net reduction of 2/3. Lossless compression is applied in sRAW, so the ratio may differ slightly.)
This information was obtained through extensive reverse engineering reported last year by Douglas Kerr, whose report I have very briefly summarized here (without too much distortion, I hope).
Simply put the camera resizes the photo so there are fewer pixels in an sRaw file, thus the file size are smaller. For example the Canon 50D sRaw1 is 7.1 megapixels compared to the full 15.1 megapixels of the sensor.
I believe this happens after colours have been interpolated from the Bayer array so the full sensor data is used, also an sRaw file contains full colour information at each pixel. Lossless compression is also applied to reduce the size further.
Some manufacturers offer lossy raw compression using the full image resolution, however these files wont be as small as the reduced resolution raw files in most circumstances. Lossless compression is also used on full resolution raw files, which has no effect on image quality however takes more time to read/write the files (due to the need to compress/decompress) so is sometimes not used.
If you are referring to small variations in raw file size when shooting full resolution raws then the explaination is lossless compression. See: http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/infobank/image_compression/lossless_and_lossy_compression.do
It is true that raw files contain all the data captured by the sensor but there can still be redundancies in the data that allow the camera to save space without losing any of the original information!

Are there some good questions on functional analysis whose solution depends on tools in set theory? My major is mathematical logic, I think tools in set theory, especially infinity combinatorics and forcing, should be used to solve some questions in functional analysis. For functional analysis, I just have read the main part of Conway's textbook. In this book, I have not found such questions.
One of the most elementary examples is the use of the infinite version of Ramsey's theorem to prove Rosenthals $\ell_1$ theorem. See Chapter 10 in Albiac & Kalton, Topics in Banach Space Theory. You'll find ultraproducts in Chapter 11. More model theory than set theory, but still logic. Deeper set theory (large cardinals, for example) have also been used. Check out, e.g., Todorcevic, S* on MathSci Net for recent things.
The survey article ``Set theory and C*-algebras'' by Nik Weaver might have some things along the lines you are looking for ( Bull. Symbolic Logic Volume 13, Issue 1 (2007), 1-20; see also math/0604198 on the arXiv). For a particular example of Weaver's recent work in this area, see Akemann & Weaver's paper
Consistency of a counterexample to Naimark's problem
We construct a C*-algebra that has only one irreducible representation up to unitary equivalence but is not isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space. This answers an old question of Naimark. Our construction uses a combinatorial statement called the diamond principle, which is known to be consistent with but not provable from the standard axioms of set theory (assuming those axioms are consistent). We prove that the statement ``there exists a counterexample to Naimark's problem which is generated by $\aleph_1$ elements'' is undecidable in standard set theory.
There has also been some work by I. Farah on applying set-theoretical technqiues to operator-algebraic problems.
One interesting example is A discontinuous homomorphism from C(X) without CH, by W. Hugh Woodin, which begins with the following introduction.
Although the construction of Tsirelson's space doesn't use set theory per se, in this short essay Tsirelson recounts (among other things) how his construction was inspired by forcing.
Chris Phillips and Nik Weaver wrote a paper called The Calkin Algebra has Outer Automorphisms, where they showed that the Continuum Hypothesis implies that the Calkin algebra $\mathcal{B(H)/K(H)}$ has outer automorphisms. See also this paper of Farah, McKenney, and Schimmerling, and references therein; they show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that the Calkin algebra has only inner automorphisms, and hence the question of existence of outer automorphisms is independent of ZFC.
Though this is a little more advanced, there is actually some very exciting research right now at the intersection of descriptive set theory, ergodic theory, and von Neumann algebras. It is quite striking that the three areas have powerful tools for looking at similar problems, and yet tend to be applicable in different cases. For a nice introduction to some of these ideas from a more set-theoretical point of view I would say check out "Topics in Orbit Equivalence" by Kechris and Miller.
Here is a link where you can download it (though you might need a subscription but many universities will have it so it should work on a department computer.) It is actually quite elementary, you need some basic descriptive set theory and measure theory, but arrives at quite deep theorems.

Hunters are reminded that hunting big game over bait is prohibited on all state owned or managed wildlife management areas, all U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service national wildlife refuges and waterfowl production areas, U.S. Forest Service national grasslands, and all North Dakota state school, state park and state forest service lands.
The governor's proclamation relating to chronic wasting disease also includes a provision that prohibits hunting big game over bait on both public and private land in deer unit 3C west of the Missouri River, and all of units 3E1, 3E2, 3F1 and 3F2.
North Dakota's 2014 waterfowl season has been set, with noteworthy changes including a daily bag of one canvasback during the season, and an additional two blue-winged teal during the first 16 days of the season.
Opening day for North Dakota residents is Sept. 27 for ducks, geese, coots and mergansers. Nonresidents may begin hunting waterfowl in North Dakota Oct. 4. The season for swans opens Oct. 4 for both residents and nonresidents.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Private Land Open To Sportsmen Guide for 2014 is now available online at the Department's website, gf.nd.gov. In addition, PLOTS Guides will be available at most license vendors throughout the state in early September.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department, local wildlife clubs and other sponsors will usher youngsters into fall during the eighth annual Youth Outdoor Festival in Minot.
The event is Thursday, Sept. 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds, Game and Fish Pond area.
The number of anglers buying fishing licenses in North Dakota continues to increase, as 2013-14 is the second consecutive year a new record for license sales has been established.
Statistics compiled by the Game and Fish Department revealed more than 219,000 fishing licenses were sold last year, an increase of 1,000 from 2012-13. A record total of 160,100 resident and 59,300 nonresident fishing licenses were sold last year.
All migratory game bird hunters, regardless of age, are reminded that Harvest Information Program registration is required Sept. 1. However, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department recommends that early Canada goose season hunters get HIP certified before the Aug. 15 opener.
The State Game and Fish Department's Encouraging Tomorrow's Hunters program is a primary sponsor for a youth waterfowl hunting clinic Aug. 15-16 in Bismarck. Ducks Unlimited is hosting the event.
The clinic is for youth ages 16 and under and their parents, and is held at the DU Great Plains Regional Office. Sessions include duck identification, decoy spreads, hunting gear, duck calling and retriever training. The first 20 kids age 9 and older to register can participate in a training event at Capital City Sporting Clays.
North Dakota's deer gun lottery has been held and individual results are available online at the State Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov.
More than 2,300 antlerless deer gun licenses remain. Only resident applicants who were unsuccessful in the first lottery can apply for remaining licenses.
The first lottery application process – deer gun, muzzleloader, youth and landowner – had more than 94,000 applicants, and 46,000 were unsuccessful.
Big game hunters are reminded of requirements for transporting deer, elk and moose carcasses and carcass parts into and within North Dakota as a precaution against the possible spread of chronic wasting disease.
North Dakota's 2014 small game and furbearer regulations are set and most season structures are similar to last year.
One change for this year is that trappers using cable devices (snares) must now register with the State Game and Fish Department prior to trapping (online registration will be available on this website mid-October).
Prairie chicken and sage grouse seasons will remain closed due to low populations.
North Dakota's early Canada goose season is set, and bag limits and licensing requirements are the same as last year.
The season will open Aug. 15 and continue through Sept. 15, except in the Missouri River Zone where the season ends Sept. 7. The early Canada goose season has a limit of 15 daily and 45 in possession.
Limits and shooting hours for the early season are different from the regular season. Shooting hours during the early season are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset daily.
The online application for North Dakota's 2014 tundra swan license lottery is available on the state Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov. The deadline for applying is Aug. 13.
Paper applications will be available from Game and Fish offices, county auditors and license vendors. Hunters can also apply by calling 800-406-6409. A service fee is added for license applications made by phone.
North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply.

This error would be found by SwishError(). That's been a big debate on the Perl side (i.e. should an invalid property call die() or not). For SwishResutPropertyULong() the docs say: On error returns UMAX_LONG. This is commonly defined in limits.h. Check SwishError() (see below) for the type of error. If SwishError() returns false (zero) then it simply means that this result does not have any data for the specified property. If SwishError() returns true (non-zero) then either the propertyname specified is invalid, or the property requested is not a numeric (or date) property (e.g. it's a string property).

I am a huge linux fan and have been ignoring .net, C#, and visual basic due to their relationship with Microsoft. Am I foredooming them just for their relationship?
Is there any advantage to learning them, when you are mainly a linux user?
closed as not constructive by Eric King, gnat, Yusubov, Martijn Pieters, MichaelT May 9 '13 at 1:36
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
They are fully deployable to Linux environments using the Mono framework which is not controlled by Microsoft. I'd say ignoring them because you like Linux would be a mistake. If you don't like the languages for other reasons like syntax or memory overhead or whatever, then fine but I'd not write them off because they are based on work done at Microsoft and partially supported by Microsoft.
As far as advantages to use, they have a rich ecosystem behind them even through Mono so it all just depends on what you want to do. I mean if all you do is web apps then RoR or PoD would probably suit you fine. If you want to dabble with an enterprise level language that lets you use functional programming and let's you combine freely with an even more functional language that integrates fully with it then Mono becomes an interesting alternative to the JVM or doing a C++ hydra. .NET and Mono were designed to use the Common Language Interface which was designed from the beginning with language inter-operation in mind. The JVM might have an edge in terms of running all over the place (even Smart Cards) but it's interoperability has been less "designed-in". Mostly it's going to be a matter of taste or enforced use.
Yes. Learn them.
Languages are to programmers as hammers are to carpenters.
The overwhelming majority of my professional experience has been LAMP dev, yet my degree focuses on VB.NET - half because I figured if I'm paying for it anyway, I might as well learn something new, and half because the alternative was Java. ;)
Learning these languages for me was like learning to run backwards. It changed the way I conceptualize programmatic problems (and programmatic solutions): context, abstraction, patterns. At the very least, skills (even ones you rarely use) always confer the value of experience gained from adding them.
There are a few reasons you may want to learn .NET:
but also a few reasons to not learning it in your case:
Having a familiarity with C# can't hurt you. Exposure with other technologies will allow you to make better decisions in the future about what you are good at and what tool is best suited for the job. If you decide they are not for you, that is fine if you are making an educated decision.
As an aside, if you know Java, then you will have a good feel for the basics of C#. Though, there are things that have been added in .Net 3.0/4.0 that will be different like LINQ and lambda expression that set it apart.
If you prefer Linux to Microsoft, then getting into .Net isn't really a good idea. .Net is fundamentally tied to Microsoft.
C# is a nice enough language and it's true that you can use Mono on Linux. However it's not exactly a comfortable place to be - Mono isn't 100% compatible with Microsoft .Net and probably never will be. This is because of patent threats, various Windows-specific features and the fact that even if C# itself is standardised by ECMA, most of the rest of the .Net platform isn't. Furthermore the Mono ecosystem on it's own is small compared to other open source languages.
I think you'd be much better of looking at the new JVM languages (Scala, Clojure, JRuby, Groovy are probably the most promising). Reasons:
vb.net is on the way out:
Bob Tabor: "While I began with VB, I haven't seen a lot of docs / videos / articles / books using VB for Win8 or other recent technologies. Increasingly, it feels to me personally like C# would be a good investment."
C# is the way to go. But you can always use mono for c# on Linux.

Take a look at all of this, according to police its worth about hundreds of thousands of dollars on the street.
"It was kind of hard to see what the actual street value was, so we broke it down, as if it were sold on the street, and this stuff you see behind me is worth about $210,000," says Sergeant Jason Adkins.
What you see here is about 1.5 pounds of marijuana, approximately 12 grams of methamphetamine, several gel caps filled with an ecstasy like component, and something police say is more dangerous than any of these drugs, synthetic marijuana, almost 200 pounds of it.
"In my opinion, what they call legal weed, is not legal but it's synthetic marijuana it is actually worse in my opinion than the real marijuana," says Sergeant Jason Adkins.
Now police tell me this was a very sophisticated operation, take a look at what's in this freezer, cupcakes filled with drugs, and police say that makes it more attractive for younger drug users.
"You can definitely entertain younger people, when you see the colors and how bright it looks," says Sergeant Jason Adkins.
This is the man police say is behind the entire operation. 34 year old Ian Quire, but he was not alone. Police also arrested 33 year old Joseph Freeman, both are charged with first degree manufacturing and first degree possession of marijuana.
Police say the two were selling the drugs out of a home on cottonwood highway.
This is where police say quire was selling the products, mostly online,
The website highiqhealth.com looks like an ordinary health driven website but police say much more was being sold.
"What Mr. Quire was doing was he was taking this stuff and he was selling it online and he was also selling it to persons in our community," says Sergeant Jason Adkins.
Quire had nearly seven thousand dollars in cash, five weapons, a notepad to keep track of all sales, and scales to make sure all measurements were accurate.
Police say this was one of the biggest drug busts the city has ever seen.
"We've had big stuff, but as far as one leak, and getting a major thorn out our side, this right here was a damn good lead, and I was proud of this one," says Sergeant Jason Adkins.
Proud to pull this drugs off the street of Dothan.

The country's first female supreme court justice will retire from the bench after 24 years of service.
Associate Justice Sandra Day O'connor announced this morning she will resign her seat on the court.
That will become effective when a new judge is appointed and confirmed.
A moderate conservative O'connor is known for looking at each case on its individual merits and often casting the swing vote in a 5-4 decision.
Kentucky Senator MItch McConnell has seen O'connor in public and private settings and says she will be remembered as one of the most distinguished justices ever to serve.
"She's known for her fairness and her rational decisions. For even the most difficult decisions upon which the court had to rule," McConnell said.
Warren County Attorney Amy Milliken is the first female to serve in that capacity and says she has always looked up to O'connor as a role model.
"Anytime you're the first in something, whether you're a man or a woman, you have a tough row to hoe. And I think she had a difficult time," Milliken said.
President Bush says he plans to nominate a new justice soon, but the confirmation process is expected to be heated.
The court returns to action in October.

I know this is a very low level question, but I honestly can't remember how this is done. I want to solve for y with this: $$ x = 2.0 \cdot \arctan\left(\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{1 - y}}\right) $$ And I thought I could do this: $$ \frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{1 - y}} = \tan\left(\frac{x}{2.0}\right) $$
But it seems like I've done something wrong getting there. Could someone break down the process to get to $y =$ ?
Again, I know this is very basic stuff, but clearly I'm not very good at this.

Mommies Dearest: Mothers and Gay Sons on Film
Philomena, starring Judi Dench, was nominated for best picture and best actress with today's Academy Award nominations. If you haven't seen it, go immediately. We can't say anything about it until you do, as it's an entire movie of spoilers and plot twists. While we wait for you to do that, enjoy these notable mother-and-gay-son films.
Strangers on a Train (1951)
Robert Walker plays adorable psychopath Bruno, who is itching to off his father. He crushes on tennis pro Guy Haines (played by bi actor and dreamboat Farley Granger) and tries to persuade Guy to trade murders (Bruno murders Guy's wife) so they can both have an alibi. Marion Lorne (you will know her as Aunt Clara from the TV show Bewtiched) plays Bruno's dithering and completely indulgent mother. This scene below shows the perverse dynamic between mother and son that director Alfred Hitchcock explored over and over again in his films.
Suddenly, Last Summer (1959)
The gay son in Tennessee Williams's story is a ghost, in that the entire film is about him, but he is already dead when it begins. The only son of wealthy widow Violet Venable died while on vacation with his cousin Catherine. What the girl saw was so horrible that she went insane; now Mrs. Venable wants Catherine lobotomized to cover up the truth. Williams is at his darkest here, with some scriptwriting help from Gore Vidal. Montgomery Clift plays the doctor investigating the case and unwittingly becomes a stand-in for the lost gay son and cousin to, respectively,Katharin Hepburn as Violet and Elizabeth Taylor as Catherine. Incest-y with a touch of cannibalism.
Below, Gore Vidal in a clip from The Celulloid Closet on censorship and the making of the film:
The Lion in Winter (1968)
This film raises the question: Who is the bigger queen? We would have to say that Katharine Hepburn, in her Academy Award-winning performance as Eleanor of Aquitaine, would win that battle. Anthony Hopkins plays her gay son, Richard the Lionheart, who eventually succeeded his father, Henry II, played by Peter O'Toole, as king of England. The story concerns Henry finding out that King Philip II of France is plotting against him and that Philip has had an affair with Richard, which is totally understandable as Philip is played by a young and dreamy Timothy Dalton.
Below, Anthony Hopkins on the making of the film:
Torch Song Trilogy (1988)
The story centers on Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing Jewish drag queen living in New York City in the late 1970s and 1980s. Harvey Fierstein's 1982 play transitioned beautifully to the screen. Although we would have loved to have seen Estelle Getty (who appeared in the stage version) as Arnold's (Fierstein's) mother, Anne Bancroft eats it up in the film version.
Below, witness one of the virtuoso arguments between Arnold and his mother:
Philadelphia (1993)
In Philadelphia, one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to deal with AIDS, Joanne Woodward plays Sarah Beckett, the super-supportive mom anyone would dream of having. As her gay son, Andrew (Tom Hanks), makes plans to sue the law firm that fired him for having AIDS, she says, "Well, I didn't raise my kids to sit in the back of the bus. You get in there and you fight for your rights, OK?" Toward the end of the film, as Andrew lies dying in the hospital, her parting words are "Good night, my angel. My sweet boy."
See Wooward and Hanks in a crushingly sad clip below:
Home for the Holidays (1995)
Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as gay son Tommy is one of the highlights of this terrific Thanksgiving-set comedy, directed by Jodie Foster, about a family that will likely make yours look a lot less dysfunctional. He and his mom, Adele (the great Anne Bancroft again), have pretty much a "don't ask, don't tell" relationship, but they do get along. "You're a pain in my ass. You have bad hair. But I like you a lot," he tells her. The only really homophobic family member is sister Joanne (Cynthia Stevenson), who's outraged that Tommy and his partner have gotten married. "How embarrassing," she says. But he has another sister, Claudia (Holly Hunter), who's way cool. She's upset only because she didn't know about the ceremony, and before she finds out about it, she fears that Tommy and his partner have broken up, as he's brought a different guy to Thanksgiving dinner. But then she learns a little more about that guy, Leo (hunky Dylan McDermott) ... well, watch the movie.
Below, the whole damn film, while it lasts, on YouTube. Happy Holidays.
Twilight of the Golds (1997)
Cowritten by Jonathin Tolins and based on his stage play, this drama gets down to the very root of the mother-and-gay-son connection. The spine of the plot: Would you choose to keep your unborn child if you knew the child was going to be gay? Faye Dunaway gives a wrenching performance disclosing the complex feelings she has toward her gay son, David (Brendan Fraser.)
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
No homosexual rehab camp is complete without a deliciously perverse camp director clad in a Pepto-Bismol pink suit and her hunky closet case of a son (the handyman) sporting skin-tight booty shorts. Oscar nominee Cathy Moriarty stars as Mary Brown, a wonderfully campy June-Cleaver-gone-berserk type of homophobe who blatantly ignores her son Rock's (gorgeous Eddie Cibrian) proclivity for striking poses as he strokes his gardening tools for the viewing pleasure of the same gay teens who're supposed to overcome their "affliction" under Mary's care. See the trailer below:
Brideshead Revisited (2008)
Emma Thompson plays the severe Lady Marchmain, the matriarch of a fantastically wealthy aristocratic British family. She is also deeply Catholic. Ben Whishaw is cast in the role of her son, the teddy bear-carrying Sebastian Flyte, one of the most notable and flamboyantly gay characters in English lit. Matthew Goode (pictured to the right of Thompson, above) as Charles Ryder plays the love interest for both Sebastian and his sister Celia in the film based on Evelyn Waugh's novel of British society between the wars.
The always-entertaining Emma Thompson on the film below:
No gay man could ask for a better mother than Megan Mullally, who plays precisely that role in G.B.F. (an acronym for "gay best friend"), a new teen comedy directed by Darren Stein (Jawbreaker) and written by George Northy. In G.B.F., Mullally shines as the mom eager to have her son Brent (Paul Iacono) come out to her as he struggles with a potential crush for his friend Tanner (Michael J. Willett), whose own impromptu coming-out makes him a must-have accessory for their high school's popular girls. To make her son feel more comfortable with his sexual orientation, Mullally orchestrates screenings of Brokeback Mountain, speaks frankly about safe sex, and reminds her son that her love is indeed unconditional. In this movie about the vicissitudes of popularity and coming out in high school, it is comforting to have a role model for parents of gay best friends everywhere.
Check out G.B.F.'s official trailer, which includes some hilarious lines from Megan Mullally, below.
Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay! (2013)
OK, we admit. We didn't see this one. But, hey, it's Lainie Kazan, so we had to add it. This farce is about mother Shirley Hirsch (Kazan) and her agenda to get her son (John Lloyd Young as Nelson) married to a nice Jewish girl. Nelson is busy hiding in the closet with his hot little boyfriend, Angelo (Jai Rodriguez of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy fame). Hilarity ensues, identities are revealed, tears are shed, rights are supported. Surprisingly, this film was not made in 1988. Sure are a lot of Jewish mother-son films out there, huh?

The Cup, Beans and a JUG
By User12652314-Oracle on Jul 24, 2012
Next week we get back together with the America's Cup Event Authority, KQED and Autodesk to set a course (no pun intended) for the education outreach program surrounding the 34th America's Cup. Our "Make the Future" story about making it fun for kids to learn about computer science, engineering and programming in Java continues as way to bring about a tidal wave of next-generation coders using NetBeans. In the end though, kids need mentors and that's where a JUG somewhere may wish to play along. Meanwhile, here's a quick look at the new Oracle Racing AC-72 wing arriving in San Francisco and due to hit the Bay on August 21-26. Inspirational.

How to show iOS screen on projector like Jobs did? Too many people ask me how to do this... They also want iPhone frame image like exactly Jobs did. (the iPhone frame image is optional)
migrated from superuser.com Mar 17 '11 at 9:32
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
There are many iOS devices (some with previous generation hardware and running older iOS).
If the original question is referring to iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch 4th Generation, and iPhone 4, there are now two new optional Apple accessories available at Apple Store (US).
Both allows video out (up to 1080p and mirroring for iPad 2; up to 720p with no mirroring for the rest i.e. iPad, iPod Touch 4th gen, and iPhone 4):
About the iPhone/iPad frame images - they are available when you're a registered iOS developer: http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/marketing/ They are a very high quality Photoshop files (for printing and for screen use).
In the past Steve has used a specially modified iPad and iPhone for screen display, tethered with an on-stge cord. The iPad 2 has been widely reported to do screen mirroring via the Apple HDMI adaptor. For your purposes, the iPad 2 would seem to be the best choice.
It's not so hard thankfully.
If you aren't fussed about having the visual of the device hardware, simply:
Use http://www.airserver.com better than a wired solution based on video interfaces. It is about 15$, but its worth.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- "It's going to be OK"- that's what six-year-old Karis Selk whispers in her mom's ear. It's a testament to the little girl's incredible spirit as she fights a devastating diagnosis.
"Karis was diagnosed last fall in November with High Risk Medulloblastoma, a form of brain cancer. They found three tumors in her brain and it has metastasized to her spine by the time it was diagnosed. Since then, she's had two surgeries to remove the tumors that they could. And then they did two rounds of high dose chemo to try to shrink one of the tumors before the second surgery. She's had 30 radiation treatments since then to her brain and spine," said her mom, Stephanie Selk. Karis has been attending school as much as possible.
Through it all, she has kept her faith.
When she visited WIBW's studios, she shared a message Jesus and Mary gave to her in her dreams.
"They said that they'll be there every step of the way," Karis said.
And so will those that have been touched by Karis' story.
Randolph Elementary where Karis and her sister are students and Eisenhower Middle School where their mom works are coming together to host a 5K race Friday in her honor. A silent auction was also recently held to benefit the Selks. For Karis' family, the outpouring of community support has helped them through this difficult time.
"The community has really reached out and that's what has been seeing us through each step of the way. Everyone says we're so strong but I feel that it's through them that we remain strong and keep moving forward and keep praying for that good news around the corner," Stephanie Selk said.
"It's amazing what people can do. It really is. Thank you," Kyle Selk, Karis' father, added.
All proceeds from the event will go to the Selk family to help with medical expenses as they continue traveling to Children's Mercy in Kansas City for Karis' treatments. Her mom says she is looking at another year of treatments.
It's a long road to recovery but the Selk family is dedicated to helping Karis overcome what they call an "ugly disease."
The 5K race will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 3, 2013 at Eisenhower Middle School, 3305 S.E. Minnesota. Events will include the run/walk, raffle prizes and T-shirt sales.
