Revision as of 05:34, 28 September 2011
I created Hackerspace Passports to
- help promote people visiting as many hackerspaces around the world as possible
- increase collaboration
- increase cross-polination so we can all learn from one another
- encourage all hackerspaces to support each other
- (And it's fun.)
These Hackerspace Passports look a lot like US Passports, but no fingerprints needed! And, rather than a requirement for passing borders, they are intended to encourage it!
If each hackerspace and hacker con makes their own stamp, then people can get their Hackerspace Passport stamped everywhere they go.
I am releasing the first 2600 of these at Chaos Communication Camp 2011, which seems appropriate to me, since the previous Camp (in 2007) was the birthplace of the new wave of hackerspaces.
I am bringing 3 stamps with me to Camp:
- Noisebridge
- Hardware Hacking Tent (which I'm helping organize)
- a stamp I made for CCCamp2011
The Hackerspace Passports cost me about €1 each, and that's what I'll be selling them for.
I hope that all hackerspaces and all hacker conferences will make their own stamps, so that hackers can travel the world and share their stories with one another by showing off the stamps in their passport.
Stamp Dimensions
Each page of the Hackerspace Passport can accommodate 4 stamps of 41mm x 47mm, or 1 stamp up to 89mm x 118mm.
Promotional Graphics
Below are some drafts for website badges to promote that your hackerspace has stamps to support these passports.
Source link: Media:Passport-badges.svg
Clicking on these badge buttons should like back to this wiki or to a custom page that your hackerspace uses to show off their stamps.
Download the artwork!
Thanks to Matthew Borgatti (@gianteye) who did all the illustration, graphic design, and proofing to bring this together. He also runs a store called Sleek and Destroy you might want to check out.
You can download the artwork for free (of course)!

The Hackerspace Passports were a huge hit at CCCamp 2011 (and around the world). Hackerspaces (and people, and geek events) created stamps, and now people can travel the world of geeky happenings and stamp their passports.
Here's some photos.

The Lincoln MKS is a good fit for the EcoBoost technology because luxury buyers not only want the power, power the EcoBoost V6 has to spare, they're also willing to pay for the premium. Other than the new engine, and awesome badging, the new MKS is mostly indiscernible from non-EcoBoost MKS models.

IRC is a very easy protocol to communicate with once you get the basics. I'll be showing how to create a 'bot' (=robot) in the well-known scripting language Perl. All the commands sent to the server can also be ported to any other programming or scripting language.
I will not go too deep into detail in every function used, but use small snippets to illustrate.[/COLOR]
Before you can start 'botting', you need a Perl package named IO::Socket. Most Perl distributions come with this package already so you will probally just ignore this step.
To get started with your bot, you should open a connection with the irc server first. This can be done easily with this piece of code:
use IO::Socket; $con = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>'irc.ircwebaddress.com', PeerPort=>'6667', Proto=>'tcp', Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $!\n";
Assuming you have a successful connection with the IRC server, it will start asking nasty questions about who you are and stuff. If you do not send this data, you'll get disconnected. When authenticating, you should send two things. Your 'user' which can be about anything, some people put a quote here, don't make it too short or too long, few words will do. And your 'nick', which is the nickname that'll appear in channels. You can send this in a very easy way, like this:
print $con "USER helloiamabot do you love me\r\n"; print $con "NICK RandomBot\r\n";
Joining a channel
Now you're not gonna sit and wait until Jesus comes from to the sky,(lol) you want to do something and let's say we want to join a channel. This can be done very easily with a very difficult command (hehe): JOIN #channel
print $con "JOIN #bot_channel\r\n";
Opening the loop
A bot needs some way of loop to keep running, in this loop it can answer replies from the server or send new ones. Now you need to create it too! Luckily, this isn't too hard either, this is a good example of such a loop:
while($answer = <$con>) { #cool actions come here }
Answering PING requests
Every X seconds, an irc server will send a PING to you, to check if you're still alive. You should answer this as soon as possible because otherwise you will get disconnected with a timeout error. The answer to this should be added in the connection loop you have created before.
if($answer =~ m/^PING (.*?)$/gi) { print $con "PONG ".$1."\r\n"; }
What can I do after connecting?
So much! I will list the most used commands with a quick example.
Sending a message
If you want to sent a message to a channel or a user, you should use PRIVMSG. If you don't add # in front of the target, it will try to send to a single user in a private message.
print $con "PRIVMSG #bot_channel :Hello from XXxxImmortalxxXX!\r\n";
Leaving a channel
Don't like the channel you are currently in? Use PART.
print $con "PART #bot_channel:Goodbye from XXxxImmortalxxXX!\r\n";
Making a user operator
'opping' someone is only possible when you're an operator yourself, of course.
print $con "MODE #bot_channel +o Nickname_of_target\r\n";
Complete code
This code is just enough to connect to a server, join a channel, and say 'hello' back .
use IO::Socket; $con = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>'irc.ircwebaddress.com', PeerPort=>'6667', Proto=>'tcp', Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $!\n"; print $con "USER helloiamabot do you like me\r\n"; print $con "NICK RandomBot\r\n"; print $con "JOIN #bot_channel\r\n"; while($answer = <$con>) { print $answer; #Show server reply if(($answer =~ /PRIVMSG/) && ($answer =~ /hello/i)) #Regex to see if it was a message, way too simple so needs tweaking! { print $con "PRIVMSG #bot_channel :Hello\r\n"; #Reply to the message, don't forget about the space between #channel and : } if($answer =~ m/^PING (.*?)$/gi) #Answer ping requests { print $con "PONG ".$1."\r\n"; } }

Here, three developing ovarian follicles can be seen in white. The inner circle of each is the egg. Of the follicles shown, it is likely that only one will fully mature at ovulation and release an egg.
This is week two of your cycle. You will probably ovulate by the end of this week and will therefore be fertile. However, the fertile window can be from 5 days before ovulation to 12-24 hours after as sperm can survive for 5 days inside you. If your periods are regular, ovulation can be easier to track, but you may want to use other methods, such as looking out for natural signs or using an ovulation kit. Remember, however, the best way to conceive is to have sex regularly.
While they are useful, testing kits are expensive and can be counterproductive because they make sex more clinical and less enjoyable. They work by testing the urine to detect a surge in LH, the hormone that triggers egg release.
Always follow the instructions given. Testing between 10 am and 8 pm should be fine, but try to aim for roughly the same time every day. After a positive test, you should ovulate 12-36 hours later. Results are about 99 percent accurate but occasionally the result is a false positive. Results can occasionally give a false negative, especially if you've drunk a lot of water. If your test was negative, do another one the next day. Once you have a positive result, you can stop testing for that month.
This week, look out for:

12 Dec 2011 2:41 AM #1
I'm looking for a framework for a project. A main feature will be the selection of some fields (like textfields or comboboxes or checkboxes) with the mouse. The new examples contain the possibility to draw within GXT. Is it possible with the new 3.x version to draw a half-transparent square (or a rectangle with a dotted border) over some field elements and to get the selected objects? A simple example I have written in Java Swing: https://www.phosco.info/builder.jnlp
Thanks a lot
15 Dec 2011 10:50 AM #2
I'm apparently unable to connect to your site (using either https or http), perhaps you can post a screenshot of what you are trying to accomplish?
Drawing a transparent square on the page isn't a big deal, as html/css can allow you to position and style an element fairly simply. By default, GXT fields are highlighted when you focus on them - take a look at http://sencha.com/examples-dev/#Exam...e:formsexample to see. Adding handlers on blur/focus to do additional drawing shouldnt be too difficult.
15 Dec 2011 11:40 PM #3
Sorry, sometimes the server is has no public IP. At the moment it is available. With a screenshot I cannot really describe, what I need. The example is part of a WYSIWYG builder, so the most important parts are
* selection of the graphical elements on a page
* moving the selected elements around (doesn't work within the example)
* resizing the elements (doesn't work in the example)
All actions should be possible with the mouse. The elements must be GXT fields like TextFields, ComboBoxes, CheckBoxes, Radios. Fields can have labels on different positions (left, right, top...) At the moment we discuss, how we should implement the frontend: SWING or browser-based.
In the example you can use the left mouse to select some elements and you have a context menu, which offers some things. The mouse pointer will be changed, if you move to the border of an element. You can also use the Shift or Ctrl key to select multiple elements or you draw a rectangle around the elements.
If you say, all these things are possible with GXT, I would implement an example to have more weight in the discussion...
Thanks a lot
16 Dec 2011 8:25 AM #4
So the fields on the page only appear to be fields, but are not used as fields (no need for entering values, focus, blur) for the sake of arranging them?
Quickest and easiest to demonstrate that would be to disable all of the fields, and wrap each in a DragSource. Make the container they are put in be wrapped in a custom DropTarget, customized a bit so it inserts in the right place correctly (take a look at ListViewDropTarget for the idea of how this could be done).
To improve slightly upon this, dont create the field in the first place (to avoid the cost of the extra parts of that widget you aren't using).
Adding resize won't make sense for some of these fields, but the trick of adding it isn't too hard. We don't yet have a 3.0 example for this, but the 2.x example should work much the same way: http://sencha.com/examples/#resizable. The more interesting part will be preventing things like Checkboxes and radios from resizing at all, and permitting TextField, ComboBox, etc to resize only in one direction.
Selecting can be done as I mentioned in the first post, or by creating another wrapper like DragSource and Resizable, which adds the mouse events for selecting a field, and hooks into whatever selection system your app requires. Looking at the existing code (ListViewSelectionModel would be a good start) for handling shift, ctrl.

Mango Jump Start (11b): XNA for Windows Phone | Part 2
- Posted: Sep 06, 2011 at 4:07PM
- 7,733 views
Right click "Save as…"
Microsoft MVPs Rob Miles and Andy Wigley are back! The "Building Applications for Windows Phone "Mango" Jump Start" was hosted by Microsoft Learning as a follow-up to last year's Windows Phone 7 Jump Start sessions. Mobile application developers rave about the fast-paced, demo-rich, real-world and often-times humorous approach Rob and Andy use to deliver this timely content. Now that "Mango" has made such a huge splash in the industry, we've asked them to put together another great course.
This is the Part 2 of two videos covering module eleven. In this demo-heavy section, Rob employs his ever-so-popular sample "Cheese" applications to show developers how to leverage the powerful XNA framework on Windows Phone.
Part 1 covers how XNA games work, methods to create an XNA game, images and sprites, using the Touch Panel, using the Accelerometer and Motion sensor, and sound in XNA games.
Part 2 continues the module with best practices for combining XNA and Silverlight, XNA games and Fast Application Switching.
Oops, something didn't work.

How to tell the user that an input box is autocomplete-enabled?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
A down-arrow, similar to a combo box, would indicate that some kind of list will drop down on focus, preparing the user for suggestions. It could either show an empty list, perhaps with a message like "Start typing for suggestions", or show some common suggestions as lazyboy proposed. The appropriate default would of course be different for different cases. I do think it should drop down with something if you were to show a down-arrow, or the lack of response upon clicking will simply confuse the user more than a plain text box would--counterproductive.
"If you open a form and click inside a text field, how do you know it has autocomplete without beginning to type?"
Potential idea: Use a fancier placeholder text that looks like part of a word is typed and then a lighter, autocomplete style text is after it - with a cursor between them.
Here's a super simple Photoshop mockup of the idea (imagine it without the underline).

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Topeka Police are still looking for leads to find the man accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Topeka Walmart.
We first showed you the surveillance photos Saturday of the Walmart on 37th Street.
Authorities say this is the man accused in a theft that was between $200 and $500 thousand.
The Topeka Capital-Journal describes the suspect as a stocky, white man with a shaved head who was wearing glasses and a Carhartt jacket. The paper reports the man entered a manager's office and took the money.
Police told us Saturday that the man left the store in a silver Chevy Malibu with Kansas plate 154 BSF.
No employees or customers were threatened or confronted by the thief.
If you recognize the man or have any information call Crimestoppers at 785-234-0007.

The 6 Most Absurd Product Placements in Video Game History
You can complain about product placement in games these days, but it was bound to happen. However, on certain magical occasions, companies have decided that it's not enough to have your character drive past a Pepsi logo. No, they want an entire game devoted to peddling their brand.
This typically results in a confounding jumble of nonsense based loosely on an idea that was never meant to sustain anything beyond a 28-second television commercial. Like ...
#6. Captain Novolin, the Insulin Game
Novo Nordisk, maker of the Novolin brand of insulin, produced a Super Nintendo game back in 1992 called Captain Novolin featuring a superhero possessing the formidable powers of Type 1 diabetes.
Via Gamefabrique.com
"Congratulations! You ate 412 pieces of toast for breakfast!"
The titular captain sprints through the city during various mealtimes wearing a blue bodysuit and wrap-around sunglasses, leaping heavily into the air to crush sugary foods beneath his crimson boot heels. Somehow, this was meant to teach children about living with diabetes, despite the fact that every single activity we described in the previous paragraph is something a child with diabetes should never do.
In between each level is a blood sugar mini game:
Via Futonrevolution
The controller that stabbed your finger between levels never really caught on, though.
This was followed by trivia questions about diabetes posed to you by a half-melted wax sculpture of Alfonso Ribeiro in a lab coat:
Via Listal.com
Wait, no "bowl of sugar" option?
To win, you had to battle your way through eight levels of doughnut and ice cream monsters to rescue the mayor (who is also diabetic) from the clutches of Blubberman, a hideously obese man in a floating wheelchair who throws pies at you. Then you have to feed the mayor the correct snack or watch him succumb to hypoglycemia and die:
Via Futonrevolution
It's basically the same as the plot from the Mark Wahlberg movie Shooter.
This game wasn't bundled with the insulin or given away to children at clinics -- Novo Nordisk charged people 60 goddamn dollars to bring home this "learning tool" for their sickly children. We feel that's a bit steep for families already paying the high cost of their children's treatment, especially considering that Captain Novolin is little more than a vaguely interactive commercial telling kids what foods to avoid (and more importantly, which brand of insulin will make them superheroes).
Via Listal.com
Kids shouldn't need a video game to tell them not to eat flying face-doughnuts.
And from here, we go to insulin's mortal enemy ...
#5. Pepsiman
Via 128bit.me
Pepsiman, the aggressively enthusiastic and fringe-psychotic mascot of Pepsi in Japan, was given his own video game adventure on the original PlayStation back in 1999, because the combination of money, drugs, and deadlines occasionally results in company executives making decisions too quickly.
Via Giantbomb.com
"Or I will fucking destroy you."
As you can imagine would happen in a game starring a soda-based superhero, Pepsiman involves the eponymous hero running in a perpetual headlong sprint, frantically collecting cans of precious life-giving Pepsi. What you do not expect is that the main enemies trying to kill you are Pepsi trucks ...
Via SinRoth52
"Not good enough. Fill the entire screen with Pepsi logos."
... and giant cans of Pepsi that periodically try to crush you to death.
Via Giantbomb.com
Pepsiman is literally running from himself.
Behind this complex metaphor for the human struggle with destructive vices is Pepsiman's bizarre quasi-surf-rock theme, which plays on an endless loop throughout every level. It's just one of many things Pepsiman does to make sure you never forget what game you are playing:
Via Giantbomb.com
"I'm prone to blackouts and periods of confusion. Luckily, the thoughtful makers of Pepsiman went that extra mile."
Perhaps most baffling of all is the series of videos that introduce each level, which feature an overweight American man carrying an armload of Pepsi cans and various bags of junk as provisions for his journey into diabetes.
Via SinRoth52
"Actor? Fuck that, I can just get my uncle to do it for a 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best."
Wait, weren't we supposed to be disappearing into a fantasy world where loving Pepsi makes us adventurous superheroes? Instead they give us this brutal, unvarnished look into the reality of their customer base. That's not how it works, guys -- you don't introduce a porn video with a clip of a fat guy jerking off in the dark. And why is he American? This game was exclusive to Japan -- it would've been much easier for the developers to just cast a Japanese person. Instead they wedge this guy into the game, and he doesn't even speak Japanese -- they had to subtitle it all. It's like they really, really wanted this guy in the game, at all costs.
Via SinRoth52
He's like a cross between Ernest P. Worrell and Larry the Cable guy.
#4. Taco Bell: Tasty Temple Challenge
Back in 2000, Taco Bell gave away a free computer game called Tasty Temple Challenge in its kids' meals. It was essentially a Doom clone -- a ripoff of a superior product with Mexican food elements chaotically tossed in, which to be honest is a perfect representation of the Taco Bell business model.
Via Werbespiel
Press "POWER OFF" to save your afternoon.
You play an adventurer named Baja Bill, exploring a perilous stone temple full of vicious monsters. To keep yourself alive, you have to eat Taco Bell menu items off of the ground, because apparently somebody went into the haunted mummy castle before you and left them there. In order to defeat the monsters, you squirt them with packets of Taco Bell hot sauce (also found on the ground) that burn them alive, reducing them to piles of smoldering ash. Essentially, you use one of the very products the game is supposed to be advertising to immolate godless creatures in the suffocating darkness of an ancient crypt.
Via MenDrinkinCoffee
Via MenDrinkinCoffee
It's basically the same thing that happens to your shit when you eat at Taco Bell.
Also note that statistically you are far, far more likely to die from eating Taco Bell food you find on the floor of a public building than from any of the creatures featured in the game.
Once you make it through the temple, you face off against a green piece of confused racism in the form of a vaguely Aztec/Mayan/Incan mummy.
Via MenDrinkinCoffee
Deicide is the price we pay for Doritos Locos Tacos.
If you manage to defeat him, Baja Bill flings open a wooden cage to release an imprisoned Taco Bell Grande Meal, and the game informs you that you've won, presenting you with a helpful tally of all your Tasty Temple Challenge accomplishments to stack up against all of the priceless memories you could have created instead of wasting your time playing this goddamn game.
Via MenDrinkinCoffee
No, Baja Bill. No, we don't.

- BSO Case Number: PB01-08-02388
- PIO Number: 01-8-8
- Date: Aug. 6, 2001
- Time: 10:50 a.m.
- Place of Occurrence: 480 SW 9 Terr., Pompano Beach
- State of Florida
- Ronald Gibbs, 32, 5/9/69, male, Miami
- Steven Moore, 38, 3/2/64, male, Miami
Description of Incident:
Before being nabbed by BSO deputies today, two brazen thieves in a stolen rental truck caused four traffic crashes as they recklessly fled from the scene of their crime.
Shortly before 11 a.m. the operator of a truck repair shop at 480 S.W. 9th Terrace noticed that a Penske rental truck was backed up to his garage bay and two men were loading brand new truck tires into the vehicle. The victim climbed onto the truck, trying to get his tires back. He said it appeared that one man had a gun, so he jumped out of the truck and ran to a phone to call 911, summoning help from BSO.
A few minutes later, a BSO deputy driving on Commercial Boulevard near Executive Airport, heard the BOLO for the truck, which the 911 caller said was fleeing an "armed robbery." The deputy activated his lights and siren but the Penske truck refused to stop. A second BSO unit joined the pursuit that went east on Commercial, south on 15th Avenue, onto Powerline Road, and south on 21st Avenue. Three crashes in the area of Oakland Park Boulevard were caused when cars swerved to avoid the fleeing truck. None of the drivers were seriously injured.
As the Penske truck headed south on NW 21st Avenue Alfred Mallard, 62, was eastbound on 26th Street, making a left turn to head north on 21st. Mallard's 1985 Mitsubishi pickup truck collided with the Penske truck, causing it to overturn. Two suspects exited the overturned rig and began to flee, running to Osswald Park where deputies quickly captured them.
Mallard and the suspect driver were taken to Broward General Medical Center for treatment of relatively minor injuries.
The Penske truck, carrying five of the hot truck tires, was reported stolen August 3rd in Pompano Beach. Neither suspect carried identification and detectives will verify their names before they can bond out of jail, but the driver claims to be Ronald Gibbs, 32, and his cohort claims to be Steven Moore, 38, both of Miami. Both men were charged with Armed Burglary, Possession of Stolen Property, Grand Theft and (felony) Fleeing and Eluding.

What I want to do is keep my old theme and use it for IE users only, I assume if this can be done for a mobile site, it can for IE. Would it be easier to just get another WP installation and duplicate the content (What's the easiest way to do this?). Or is there a method, such as the mobile method to redirect users to that theme.
My plan was, create a second installation with the existing theme then somehow grab the content from the main site and add and IF code redirecting IE users. Is this possible, or is there an easier/ or simpler way?

NEW RUMLEY - Gen. George Armstrong Custer, born in a small log house in New Rumley on Dec. 5, 1839, was celebrated as a noted figure in Harrison County and honored at the 173rd birthday party sponsored by the Custer Memorial Association held Saturday at the New Rumley Methodist Church.
Custer was represented by Rick Williams, who started as a Civil War re-enactor in 1999, when he joined a cavalry unit near his home in Middletown. As a living historian, he first appeared as Custer at Cridersville in 2003. Today, he often speaks as the general at Civil War Roundtables.
He is the published author of "The Beginninger's Guide to Civil War Re-enacting" and has made appearances in New York, Montana, Kansas and West Virginia.

DINNER HELD — The 173rd birthday of Gen. George Custer was celebrated at a dinner held Saturday at the New Rumley Methodist Church fellowship hall, followed by a program at the Custer Museum across the street. Some of those taking part were, from left, Dave Rose, Custer Memorial Association program coordinator; Don Allison, Bryan Times editor and Williams County Historical Society historian, speaker; Marlene Rice, portraying Libby Custer; and Rick Williams, Custer re-enactor.
Dave Rose, dressed in a Civil War uniform as well, gave the welcome and invocation. He told Custer followers that Leroy VanHorne, recording secretary, usually gave the welcome but was at home recovering from back surgery.
The birthday cake, frosted with yellow as one of the cavalry colors and blue for the Civil War, had the Custer drawing that is on billboard signs and those at the museum imprinted in the icing. Williams held up his sword to depict cutting the cake, as is the usual procedure at the parties.
Williams was joined by his new fiancee Marlene Rice, who is now playing the part of Libby Custer. She was dressed in a gown of the mid-1800s.
Don Allison, Bryan Times editor and historian for the Williams County Historical Society, was the speaker when the group moved to the museum located across the street. A wooden trunk that belonged to Boston Custer is part of the memorabilia there, along with a scale model of the Custer homestead that was made by Tom Cunningham.
Allison told of the hardships, suffering, freezing weather, near starvation and, often times, death endured by the prisoners at Belle Isle, near Richmond, reading letters from a captured soldier with the 38th Ohio Regiment, Sgt. Jacob Osborn of the 6th Michigan Cavalry. This was a unit in the Michigan Cavalry Brigade of Custer.
Osborn entered the war in 1863 and was sent to the Shanadoah Valley where 434 Yankee troops were captured, some shot and four ran away.
The meal consisted of one and one-half loaves of a rough cornmeal bread with crust so hard it was almost impossible to chew. Sometimes there was a bean soup so clear that one could almost count all the beans in the serving. "It did little to nourish them but warmed them up," Allison said.
The memorial association held an auction of Custer items, including books about the general: "The Last Stand," "The Story of Custer," "The Beginners Guide to Civil War Re-enacting" and "Custer's Last Stand."
The association presented golden sponsors plaques to Bill Host, auctioneer and county commissioner; Clark- Kirtland Funeral Home; Cadiz Animal Clinic; Mark Beetham, attorney; Carroll Electric; Ward and Associates Appraisals; and Eldon Furbay.
Herman Neimayer played the keyboard for dinner music, and Velma Gross was in charge of the tickets.

notation: RV= random variable, $\mu=$ mean $m=$ median
Jensen's Inequality considers the relationship between the mean of a function of an RV and the function of the mean of an RV.
If $f(x)$ strictly convex:
$$\mu (f(x)) > f(\mu (x))\mathrm{\hspace{20mm}(1)}$$
Conversely if $-f(x)$ is strictly convex:
$$\mu (f(x)) < f(\mu (x))$$
An analogous property of the median has been presented (Merkle et al 2005, pdf).
I have a nonlinear function (pdf) of positive random variables, too complex to post here, not directly pertinent to this question; I am looking for a more general answer. It is worth noting that it is, however, neither strictly concave nor convex.
In practice, I find that the function of the medians provides a much better estimate of the median of the function than does the estimate of the mean of the function from the function of the means. I am interested in learning the conditions for which this is true.
Under what conditions will the function of a median be closer to the median of a function than the mean of a function is to a function of the mean?
Specifically for what types of $f(x)$ and $x$ is
$$|\mu (f(x)) - f(\mu (x))| > |m (f(x)) - f(m (x))|$$
I previously asked this on here on stats.stackexchange.com, but after not receiving an answer, was advised to post here on MO.

I'm a little bit confused in here..
I want to have 2 node cluster with shared storage. I read all wiki page about HA cluster. Now in my head there's a scheme like:
So we have two 4U tower servers from superMicro. There's SAS in there... is it possible somehow to connect few servers (not through network) to one SAS storage?? Or we need to sell these two servers and get normal NAS/SAN storage and 2 simple rack servers? Edit: Or just to use these two servers as NAS? and to buy 2 another servers?
any answers are welcome, I'm a little bit a beginner in server hardware so any theory are welcome in here.
Thank you

we still love you mo
Cirilia and I are both avid npr listeners and both of us love the weekend current events/comedy/game show "wait, wait… don't tell me!". W…e…l….l , the week before last, one of the regular panelists, Mo Rocca, happened to mention (during a story about knitting sweaters for bald chickens) that he hated homemade sweaters because they are "alway itchy". Gasp! :)
Then, in a strange miracle of the modern age, Peter Sagal (the host of the show) tweeted us @berrocodesign because many knitters had written in and now knows about the sweater!!!! Which lead to this week's show which contains an apology from Mo that makes me grin from ear to ear. Link: Go to – Panel Round Two A special message from Mo Rocca.
He promised to model it. I know, I know, small thrills…. but I love npr and wait wait… don't tell me!
That is just hilarious! I truly enjoyed listening.March 1, 2009
What a great story! I need to remember to complain in public about some knitwear and hope it gets me some goodies. Here's hoping!March 2, 2009

I love it. I just listened to Mo Rocca's apology. Please keep us posted. I also liked the gentlemen who wanted a non itchy car……March 3, 2009
I love Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! Mo Rocca's apology is great! It sounded like the apologies politicians and celebrities and sports figures end up making, only more sincere.March 3, 2009

I heard that on NPR over the weekend, and laughed my head off. But how do you know Mo's measurements? And will the sweater invoke the NPR equivalent of a boyfriend curse?March 3, 2009
I heard the original "itchy" comment and thought "Obviously he's never had a sweater made of truly fabulous fiber!" – what a great follow-up to that.March 4, 2009

I hope Mo wears the sweater on CBS Sunday Morning. I like his commentaries.March 4, 2009

Not only did Mo make a full retraction and apology, he has spent the last week avidly learning how to knit and sew. Check out the Bust Magazine blog to read Debbie Stoller's tale of teaching Mo to knit. On this Sunday's edition of CBS Sunday Morning, Mo will display his handiwork and tell about his immersion into the world of knitting and sewing.March 13, 2009

My gaming PC (which runs on Windows) has very limited bandwith: I can connect to the internet, but cannot download a game. However I do have a macbook with access to a network with unlimited bandwith. Is there any way I can download Steam games (for Windows) on my mac and then transfer them to the Windows PC?
Most multi-platform games share a large amount of data between platforms, even though the actual executable is different.
Let's look at Half-Life 2 and other Source games. They have lots of
It also works the other way around: copying files from Windows to Mac.
What I've described should also work on most steamplay titles, that are available on Steam for Mac and Windows. (but you might need to copy files from subdirectories inside
However, if you want to download a Windows-only game, then you might need to run the Windows version of Steam. You may achieve that using one of the many virtualization options (VMware, VirtualBox, Parallels), or even try your luck running Steam under Wine (but that might be too buggy).
I'm not sure, but you might be able to do a back up of the games on the Mac and then transfer them to the PC. Obviously the executables are different between the Mac and PC, so I'm hesitant to suggest this. The sure fire way would be to use boot camp or parallels on the Mac to download the Windows versions, then back everything up (in the menu, Steam->Backup and Restore Games...) and transfer them via external harddrive.
Valve's SteamCMD does just that.

It is the same with Diesel, which can be capitalised or not. Do the words Reich and Kaiser have some specific historic value as they are distinguished from non-capitalised words such as halt, ozone, heroin, nickel, semester, etc?

Firstly, it's not as homogeneous as you'd believe it: the New Oxford American Dictionary, for example, doesn't use the capital for kaiser unless it's an official title (see #2).
Secondly, titles typically become capitalized when they become part of a person's name. So, it would be "the queen was not amused", but "he said Queen Victoria was not amused".
Thirdly, names of sovereign states (whether in the present or in the past) are usually capitalized too. So, you'd say "he has nostalgia for the Reich" (implicitly, "the Third Reich") as you would say "Austria was then part of the Holy Roman Empire".
Reich and Kaiser are German words, which always capitalises nouns. Since the English language has equivalent words (empire or nation for Reich, and emperor for Kaiser), they are typically reserved to describe the German empire and the German emperor, respectively.
Diesel comes from Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of
Reich is the name of a specific German government. Kaiser is a title, and as such designates a specific person. This makes them both roughly akin to a person's name. We call words like this proper nouns. Proper nouns are capitalized in English.
Thus they are capitalized for roughtly the same reason we capitalize Democrats, and Republicans, and Fred Jones.
I think you're focussing on the wrong thing. Proper nouns are capitalized, common nouns are not; many words (in the sense of collections of letters) can be both in different circumstances. So Elizabeth II is the Queen of England, and 'the Queen', in British English, almost always refers to her. But there have been many queens (small q) in history. Similarly "the Kaiser approved submarine warfare in 1915" refers to (and could be replaced by) Wilhelm II, while "the kaiser was obliged to take the advice of the chancellor" refers to the post itself (or possibly all holders of it). The fuel is diesel; Diesel is the inventor or a clothing company like Levi's.

I have been coding on and off on C and to a certain extent on C++ since my college days(2003), but I never had the opportunity to work with a hard core programming responsibility, which could have taught me "industrial grade coding" better and what is needed really for solving real life problems. To me it looks like I had been coding naive codes, like linked lists, binary trees, and Dijkstra and Kruskal's Algos all these years.
Additionally I feel my academic experience just taught me the language not how to solve real life problems.
So my question is:
- So how did you pick up the art of solving real life problems?
- Any way to shortcut the process?
- Is it only my education or in general everyone coding education sucked big time?
How often do you have to learn "new things" to solve a problem in a better way.
For example, though I have used delegates and events for simple windows programming, but my current problem will require a much more in depth knowledge of it, plus I have forgotten most of it. So its as good as new for me. I will have to learn threaded programming and multicore programming. So it gives me an impression-"heck then what did I learn really all these years?"

The 5 Most Terrifying Civilizations In The History of the World
They say that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, so pay attention for Christ's sake. It turns out that many of our ancestors achieved levels of violence that take them right out of the realm of "badass" and into the less cool area of ball-shriveling atrocity.
These are the civilizations you don't want to face during, say, your next time travel adventure. And yes, the Spartans are down there.
#5. The Celts
History is kind of spotty on the Celts (they never wrote anything down, and many of the witnesses died brutally) but what facts survived confirm one thing: They had gigantic Celtic balls.
First of all, they had a thing for severed heads. After a long and trying battle they'd all unwind at the end of the day by collecting a few souvenir heads. Then they'd bring them home and decorate the house with them. So the average Celt home probably looked like a hunter's trophy room, crossed with the scene at the end of Halloween when all the mutilated bodies start popping up around every corner. Sweet dreams kids!
If they felt that yours was a head of particular importance, they'd embalm it and whip it out at parties to brag about how awesome they were. When they were alone they'd probably wiggle your jaw around and pretend you were complimenting them.
The reason for all of these head-chopping-good-times was that the Celts believed that the head held the soul, and so if you cut a dead guy's head off before all of that juicy soul leaked out of it, it was yours. A finders-keepers sort of deal, you might say.
A modern Celt.
So, Were They Really So Bad?
Hey, remember Braveheart? And how batshit insane Wallace's army looked with their faces painted blue?
Well, the Celts would sometimes paint themselves blue and fight completely naked. Just because. One would assume that fighting in the nude would present some rather sensitive targets to one's enemies (we're talking about their nuts), but it seems that the Celts were so frigging manly that they just didn't care. It was the ultimate insult: "I am not afraid of you, and to prove it, I have just laid my dong on your sword."
#4. The Aztecs
You remember Temple of Doom, and how that unfortunate gentleman had his heart ripped out right before they dropped him down the lava hole? Well, picture lots of that, only this time mom isn't around to turn off the VCR and stop your crying. That's the Aztecs.
The Aztecs believed that for every 52 years that passed, the world would end unless the gods were strong enough. And, as is common knowledge, the best way to toughen up a god is with a steady stream of constant human sacrifice (along with a dash of cannibalism, just for good measure).
Most of the sacrificing went towards keeping their Sun god happy, and it took place on top of giant pyramid, so at least the view was probably pretty good. Then they'd hold you down, saw through your ribs and take out your heart (which was likely still beating). Then, as if things couldn't get any worse, they'd throw you down the staircase.
So, Were They Really So Bad?
Yes. Yes they were. Did we mention the cannibalism? After they removed your heart and threw you down the stairs, they'd eat your arms and thighs, and whatever other bits looked tasty (the nuts? We do not know).
Some historians think that nourishment was the main reason behind all of this willy-nilly human sacrifice, as the Aztecs had no domesticated animals to slaughter, and as such their diet was low in fat and animal-stuff. You know how it is if you've ever had a roommate try a vegetarian diet. It's just a matter of time until you start waking up with teeth marks on your extremities.
And that's not even the bad part. The Aztecs held themselves to a high standard and for every situation they asked, "Could we make this more gut-wrenchingly gruesome?" So, for instance, during the sacrifice to the fire god, a newly-wed couple would be tossed into, you guessed it, a fire. Then, right before they finally died (from their horrendous burns), they'd drag them out, flesh still smoking, and dig out their hearts.
Wait, it gets better! There was the offering to the earth goddess, which involved a young woman's skin being removed and worn around like a Silence of the Lambs-style serial killer flesh suit.
On one hand you might ask why none of the Aztecs thought this was odd. On the other hand, if somebody had an objection to the ceremonies we're guessing they kept that shit to themselves.
#3. The Assyrians
The thing about the Assyrians is that they were basically the ancient Mesopotamian equivalent to that loveable team of underdogs in every sports movie. They had a lot of spunk and a can-do attitude, but, try as they might, they just couldn't seem to make it into the big leagues.
Luckily for them (and unluckily for everyone else), just as that loveable sports team will sooner or later stumble upon secret weapon, a magic dog with an unusual aptitude for kicking field goals perhaps, after a couple of hundred years of being constantly harassed by more powerful nations, the Assyrians came across their own secret weapon. No, it wasn't Emilio Estevez, but it was nearly as powerful.
It was iron. The Assyrians were the first people to start using iron weapons instead of bronze which, to put into a modern perspective, is sort of like showing up for a knife fight with the Death Star. Using iron made the Assyrians so near-invincible that, really, the other guys might as well have been swinging around bananas.
So, Were They Really So Bad?
Well, in a word, yes. Here's a cheery little quote from King Ashurnasirpal, who spent much of his spare time baking cherry pies for the homeless and teaching the neighborhood kids how to correctly adjust their bike helmets:
"I built a pillar over against his city gate, and I flayed all the chief men who had revolted, and I covered the pillar with their skins; some I walled up within the pillar, some I impaled upon the pillar on stakes, and others I bound to stakes round the about the pillar; many within the border of my own land I flayed, and I spread their skins upon the walls; and I cut off the limbs of the officers, of the royal officers who had rebelled."
"And then I was thinking about slap boxing with a lion, but only if there's time."
Ever have one of those days when you just wanted to get out of the house and flay somebody? Yep, you're probably a sociopath.
Sure, we understand that intimidation was how invading armies ended wars before they started, that this kind of psychological warfare was crucial for a conquering army. But reading that up there, we're pretty sure the Assyrians just enjoyed it.

Here Paul and Amanda talk about the future of Visual Basic.
Oops, something didn't work.
This new "linq" stuff is pretty neat but as Wacko already mentioned the current C# implementation is kinda unintuitive, but still very cool. I hope they will come up with an easier syntax for C# before this stuff ship, that is, if it ship.
Btw, 1 is not considered a "true" prime number... Get the Dr. Math explanation here.
That looks like the new Anonymous Type Syntax which is something new in both c# and vb.net in there next versions
Public Class Customers Private _name As String Private _address As String Public Property Name() Get Return _name End Get Set(ByVal value) _name = value End Set End Property Public Property Address() Get Return _address End Get Set(ByVal value) _address = value End Set End Property End Class Public Class Form1 Dim C As New Customers Public Sub Frank() C.Name = "Frank" C.Address = "Address" 'Then do what ever you need to do' 'Notice we had to create a Class' End Sub 'New Syntax allows for the following' Public Sub Anon() Dim a As Animal = {Name := "Animal",Location := "Africa"} a.Name = "Lion" a.Location = "Asia" 'This is like is we had created an Animal Class and newed up a new Animal' 'Both Subs are doing the same thing' End Sub End Class
I hope this make some sence I have not gotten a chance to mess with it since I do not have the RC bits of VS 2k5 but from what I have read and how it works in c# and from what i gather from the two VB.net videos this is how it would look under old and
Loved the demo, and Amanda isn't too hard on the eyes, either.
For VB programming videos, why don't they use interviewers who
are actual VB programmers?
It is painful watching this interview, where Ken Levy, chimes in
comments and questions that are irrelevant or newbie, because
he has just heard one of them say a term that he's heard before.
Amanda and Paul look at Ken, like deer in headlights.
A good example was his rambling XML question, where Amanda
nervously smiles and says, "Sorry?"
Is he a Manager, because I'm having flashbacks.
I said the same thing about Ken in the interview with Paul and Erik Meijer. Scoble makes interviewing look easy when it isn't so I'm cutting Ken some slack.
Amanda is quite striking though I imagine it can get irritating to have geeks fawn over her appearance instead of what she is saying.

Karim: You sound ....ummm.... so sincere!
I agree Alex, the syntax:
Dim cust as New Customer = { .Name="Me", .Address="123 Main" }
makes more sense than
Dim cust as Customer = { .Name="Me", .Address="123 Main" }
Because the statement is creating an instance of the customer object, and then assigning property values to it, however, in this instance, I could also say that what should happen is that the compiler should create an anonymous class that contains a .Name and .Address property (of string), but then somehow the compiler would then try and set the new customer class to the anonymous class which obviously aren't the same type. Unless of course you are saying that any class can be set to any anonymous class and VB will iterate through all the properties as it copies them, but why stop at anonymous classes then? And of course that will lead to the idead that you should be able to set any class to any other class so long as they share the same (or a superset) of the properties. Very messy.
Would this work:
Dim cust as Customer
cust = { .Name="Me", .Address="123 Main" }
I doubt it. It would be nice sometimes to be able to do a shallow copy of one class to a differing class like that though, but using the equal sign to do so would cause many more problems than it is worth. I would expect a different syntax like:
Dim cust as new Customer With {.Name="Me",.Address="123 Main"}
Dim cust as Customer
cust=new Customer with { .Name="Me",.Address="123 Main"}
as shorthand to:
dim cust as Customer
cust=new Customer
with cust
.Address="123 Main"
end with
Or possibly the syntax:
Dim cust as new Customer With {"Me" as Name, "123 Main" as Address}
Or both. Then you could use it as a short way of passing a class prefilled with properties to subs and function like:
Call MySub(new Customer with (.Name.....))
Now, that said, I find the shortcut to setting many properties to be far the least useful thing they showed, unless there was some very significant reason for it, like speed of setting many properties or some such.
Of course my next question would be what about the new nullable types?
Would these work:
dim x = {1,2,3?,4}
dim x = {1,2,null,4}
dim x? = {1,2,3,4}
dim y as integer? = 3: dim x ={1,2,y,4}
as shorthand for
dim x() as integer? = {1,2,3,4}
Would this make an array of chars:
Dim c = {"A"c,"B"c,"C"c}
jjones252 wrote:I don't know the interviewer but he's not nearly as energetic as Robert in most other videos. Sort of picky about details and no "Wow" or encouragement given. Would likely be a poor manager.
I love the idea of the video though and look forward to anything for making queries easier. Amanda is right. The latest generation is way "search centric."

Donna and Sawtelle
This fall, Donna's become entangled in an unexpected love triangle. The players? Donna, Remix, and the Sawtelle Adult cardigan pattern.
It started out as an easy children's sweater (Sawtelle) in garter stitch, destined for our KnitBits newsletter. Donna mentioned to me that she would wear that sweater in an adult size, and after hearing the same thing from KnitBits readers, we created an adult version. Before the resized version even made it to the newsletter, Donna had cast on for a lovely green Sawtelle Adult of her very own. She used Remix in Verdant (#3938) for the body, and Buttercup (#3922) for the contrast color.
She was delighted to discover that such a simple pattern (there is no purling, anywhere) made for perfect TV knitting. She also found herself falling for Remix. I have to say that I've noticed it too while swatching: knitting Remix in garter stitch is extremely satisfying. The softness of the fibers and the tweedy colorways seem like a perfect match for garter's rustic, bumpy texture.
Donna eagerly waited for cooler weather so she could start showing off her new sweater. Here she is, happily wearing it at work one day:
She had such a great time with the first sweater, that she decided her daughter-in-law could use one, too. Before we knew it, Donna had whipped up another Sawtelle Adult, this time in Patina (#3933) with Blush (#3952) for the contrast. Once again, it seemed like the sweater had practically knit itself. Donna's modeling it here, before presenting it to her lucky relative:
Normally, after following the same pattern twice, it's time for something different. This time, though, Donna went ahead and started a third Sawtelle Adult! Worked in Buttercup (#3922) with Bittersweet (#3967) for the contrast, this one is destined for Donna's daughter. It's flying along, with the back and one front already finished:
Donna told me today that she's already thinking about colorways for her fourth Sawtelle Adult…
I wanted to make my granddaughter a sweater. Berroco Sawtelle for kids is the pattern, free from their site. I chose a size 12 , and could tell it was huge. So I chose size 8. I am not using suggested yarn, which is Remix, a recycled type. No available info on the size, as in 4 worsted weight etc. I am using Red heart worsted weight. I am using #8 Denise circulars. I knit several inches and put extra cable on so I can measure width. 42inches!! Its wide enough for an adult size pattern I am currently doing with another yarn. I am going to turn it into an adult size sweater. I am getting 3.85 or stitches an inch, 12 per 4inches…. my knitting is about average tension, it looks real smooth and even. I should have 17 stitches per 4 inches on size 8. I can't imagine having toGo down to a size 6 on this yarn to make gauge!Here's where the help part comes in. Does any one else find that patterns don't work up as stated? Its very frustrating to say the least. I have a lovely book full of items I want to make, but their idea of worsted weight and mine, or even the manufacturer is not even close!November 29, 2011
Harriett #
The meaurment for the Sawtell childeren's size two back should be 12 inches. At 17 stitches equals
4 inches, it seems you should cast on about 68 stitches.not 116. Can someone please
clarify this. Knitting in guage the width of the back, size 2 is much to large.January 31, 2012
I am planning on making three children size Sawtelle sweaters for my 3 granddaughters. But finding the yarn is difficult. I wanted the main color to be the same for each girl and the contrast color will be different for each. And with any leftover yarn I plan to make some little purses for them. I was thinking sizes 4, 8 and 12 for the girls. I will measure each of them before I start. But the above comments have me worried. I may start with the size 8 first and see how it gauges. It may be for the older g-daughter if it knits to big.
I hope I can get enough of the Patina yarn. Everywhere I have looked, it is on back order or out of stock. That must be the popular color.
Any suggestions on other color combinations???February 17, 2012
The G-daughters mom said to go with the "bittersweet" color yarn instead of the Patina. My yarn is in route to my address, and should arrive Thursday. Wow. I am actually making this pattern with some yarn I had in my stash for a 4th grand daughter in another family. Her mom likes the colors. And it looks nice so far. I am using Caron Simply Soft. It works up so easy. I plan to make myself a sweater from this pattern also, after I finish the girls sweaters. I have quite a bit of wool yarn and decided to use that for myself. It was one of those irresistible sales.February 22, 2012
This first sweater will be Blackberry(pink) and black trim. It looks nice so far,February 22, 2012

Which LED HDTV is better ?
I'm looking for a 55" LED HDTV. Must be WiFi ready. No 3DTV.
Which is better, Samsung or Toshiba ?
Is there anything better available.
The budget is 2k max. I would like this to be a long term purchase,
meaning I only want to buy once and not have a case of the shoulda's later.
4 Answers answer
You're going to want full array led, not edge lit led. samsung is better. array leds have local dimming and more vibrant colors...on par with plasma (edge lit are basically overpriced lcds). For 2k, you can pretty much get anything except those new 3d slim edge samsungs and those sony xbr ones. I know you said no 3d, and I'm in the same boat, but all the latest and best technology tvs are 3d ready now..just saying. You don't have to use it :).
The first sentence in this response us piety much the only thing you needed to read and you'll be happy. I personally LOVE this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003GDHI12/ref=mp_s_a_6?qid=1316055168&sr=8-6 (I'm getting the 47 inch version)
Edit: that vizio has arguably the latest and best technology for the dollar
I have a 32" Samsung LED HDTV. WiFi ready, etc. Love it. It was worth the money (between $800-$900) because I don't purchase a new TV every time the next 'big thing' is introduced. I plan to have this one for awhile.
@zarfus: Agreeing with you on that answer. Your going to want Full Array. I like Sony.
@straightrazor: What about this ? vizio XVT3D474SV

A body with volume $V(w)$ is between the curve $y = \frac{1}{x + \sqrt{x}}$ and the $x$ axis, for $1 \leq x \leq w$. I am to rotate the body one turn around the $x$ axis, and determine $\lim_{w \to \infty} V(w)$.
In similar problems, I have used the formula $V = \pi \int_a^b f(x)^2\,dx$, but I have never worked with approaching infinity in similar problems. The textbook answer to the problem only confuses me further.

A little bit of kindness goes a long way and no matter how big or small it usually does not go unappreciated. In the Carmi School District we promote "Random Acts of Kindness" trying to instill in the children the power of kindness at an early age. I am all for this behavior because the world could use a positive influence.
I have been on the receiving end of little acts of generosity and it always made my day. Once when I was crossing the bridge in Mt. Vernon, Ind., the person in front of me paid my toll. I didn't know them and they didn't know me so it was such a surprise. Another time I was in McDonald's drive-thru and my landlord was in front of me and he bought my meal because I was next in line behind him. It was a fun gesture and I did appreciate it.
Last year before I left the high school one of my students brought me two vintage tea cups and a mason jar full of flavored tea bags. She included a note that said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me. I will miss you next year." I cried! Children are a lot like animals in that they only lavish love and attention on people that mean the most to them, so you should never take their affection for granted.
Now, a brief story about how kindness can change the dynamics of a relationship. Years ago when my daughter and I moved into a new neighborhood, we had some neighbors that were less than friendly. They seldom waved and never spoke. One winter day while shoveling the drive with a plastic shovel my shovel broke. I had to get to the store on one of the first days that the drive had thawed. I didn't know what else to do so I asked to borrow their snow shovel and promised to bring it back directly. Oh my! They were not thrilled to help. However, they agreed and the job was done. I thanked them and returned the shovel. A few weeks later I baked some homemade blueberry muffins and told my daughter to take the neighbors some. She said, "Are you even kidding me Mom? They are not even nice to us. They are grouchy." I told her that in that case they needed the muffins more than anyone else and I told her to watch what happens. She took them over and that was it. After that, they spoke and waved and always looked out for us from that point on.
Kindness has often been described as a "ripple effect." Its overall influence can never be fully measured because you don't know where the influence will stop. A smile, a hello, a sincere compliment never costs anyone anything. Try performing a random act of kindness today and two lives will be blessed for it...yours and theirs.

Belize Police Seek McAfee in Murder Probe
Antivirus Software Pioneer Is Sought in Connection With the Shooting Death of His American Expatriate Neighbor
John McAfee, the security software pioneer, is wanted for questioning by police in Belize in connection with the weekend murder of his neighbor, an American expatriate, Belize police said Monday.
A Belize National Security Ministry spokesman said it was too early to call Mr. McAfee a suspect in the weekend shooting death of Gregory Faull, the expatriate, but "if his story does not add up, he may be arrested and charged."
Mr. McAfee, 67 years old, founded what is now McAfee Inc., the antivirus giant, which provides encryption and firewall services around the world. He left the company in 1994 and later resettled in the Central American country, where he owns a boating company.
Police said that Mr. Faull, 52, was found dead by a housekeeper on Sunday morning in his home near San Pedro, an island near the Mexican border popular with foreign retirees. Mr. Faull, who was a neighbor of Mr. McAfee's, died of a gunshot wound to the head. Police suspect the case was a murder and say there were no signs of a forced entry, though Mr. Faull's phone and computer were found to be missing.
Mr. McAfee couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
He told Wired magazine Monday that he knew nothing about the shooting and that when police came to search his property on Sunday he hid under sand with a cardboard box over his head so he could breathe. He told the magazine he is still hiding because he believes the police will kill him if they take him into custody.
Police said it wasn't clear to them what relationship Mr. McAfee and Mr. Faull had. Mr. Faull had recently filed a complaint with the mayor's office about Mr. McAfee, alleging that the former software mogul's security guards were trespassing on Mr. Faull's property and complaining about dogs that Mr. McAfee had on his compound, according to Daniel Guerrero, the town mayor.
Mr. Guerrero said he had seen Mr. McAfee just a few days ago, when he delivered a donation to the town's police department, and didn't notice anything amiss. Mr. Faull appeared to be a building contractor in Fort Myers, Fla., according to city records there.
In April, acting on a tip that there was an illegal drug lab on Mr. McAfee's property, police raided his home and found 10 firearms, including several pump-action pistols, nearly 300 shotgun cartridges, chemistry equipment and $20,000 in cash, said Raphael Martinez, the National Security Ministry spokesman.
However, Mr. Martinez, said he wasn't charged because he had permits for the weapons and wasn't found to be using the lab equipment for making illegal drugs.
The technology blog Gizmodo first reported the police's interest in Mr. McAfee.
The entrepreneur sold his stake in what is now McAfee for $100 million months after he warned that a computer virus called Michelangelo could infect millions of computers, an event that didn't come to pass.
After his Silicon Valley days, Mr. McAfee, who sports pierced ears, spiked hair with bleached blond tips, a goatee and tattoos, threw himself into a series of hobbies. He wrote a book about yoga, bought a 280-acre estate in Woodland Park, Colo., and built a 10,000-square-foot retreat for fellow yoga enthusiasts.
He then turned to a sport called "aerotrekking," which involves flying a tiny open-air cockpit plane over very low altitudes. He poured more than $11 million into building a network of eight airports in remote areas of New Mexico and Arizona, including a home base that featured a five-bedroom villa, a trailer once owned by billionaire Howard Hughes and numerous restored antique automobiles. He and a roving band of fellow aficionados called themselves the "Sky Gypsies."
"Money does a really strange thing. It gives you this sense of omnipotence," he told The Wall Street Journal in a 2007 story on his aerotrekking hobby. "But eventually you realize you're just one person, you look around at all this stuff you've acquired, and you wonder how you're ever going to use it."
Mr. McAfee told the New York Times in 2009 that his net worth had fallen to $4 million due to the global financial crisis.
Mr. McAfee then moved to Belize a few years ago, founding a company called "Quorumex" that describes its mission as "re-inventing the way modern medicine combats and disarms pathogenic bacteria."
Corrections & Amplifications
John McAfee left his company in 1994. An earlier version of this story said he left in 1992. Also, Jeff Wise wrote an article about Mr. McAfee in the technology blog Gizmodo. An earlier version referred to the author as John Wise.

When I ask SpriteBatch to draw a rectangle as within the following method :
public static void DrawSolidRectangle(Rectangle rectangle, Color color)
// the output from this is shown in the screenshot
spriteBatch.Draw(pixel, rectangle, color);
I am getting different sized rectangles to the rectangles I am providing. This is an issue I am having after resizing the window. As you can see in the screenshots, the difference in width of the two rectangles is only 2 pixels and there is an offset of 1 pixel, while the two gray rectangular draw results clearly have greater than a 3 pixel difference in width.
Does anyone know what's going on ? Is this a known issue with SpriteBatch or the BackBuffer after resizing or what ?

June 28, 2007 -- A new study shows a lupus treatment may lead to fertility problems in men.
Researchers found sperm damage linked to infertility is common in men with lupus and appears to be related to a commonly used treatment for the disease.
Because the disease tends to strike during the reproductive years, researchers say the results suggest freezing and storing sperm should be discussed early in the treatment of men diagnosed with lupus.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system turns on itself and attacks healthy tissue and joints, causing organ damage, severe pain, and often debilitating disability.
The disease is nine times more common in women than in men, and researchers say this is the first study to look at how the disease and its treatments affect male reproductive health.
Lupus Treatment May Cause Male Infertility
In the study, published in Arthritis & Rheumatism, researchers at the University of São Paulo in Brazil compared sperm count, shape, and function in 35 men with lupus to a group of healthy men.
The results showed men with lupus had lower average sperm counts and sperm motility. They also had a lower sperm volume and a lower percentage of normally formed sperm.
In addition, researchers examined the men's sexual organs including the testes, which produce sperm, and found men with lupus had smaller testicular volumes in both testes than the healthy men.
Their analysis showed men with lupus who had more treatments of intravenous cyclophosphamide (also known as Cytoxan) were much more likely to have permanent sperm damage tied to infertility than men who had received the treatment less often.
They say it's not possible to predict which men with lupus will become infertile as a result of this treatment. But this study suggests that about five years of treatment with Cytoxan is associated with severe sperm damage and reinforces the need to discuss storing sperm prior to treatment.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - The Lancia family honored a former employee Monday by dedicating the Alzheimer's unit at the Belmont Manor Nursing Home in St. Clairsville.
During a ceremony in the newly named Judy Johnson Alzheimer's Unit, Giuseppe, Guirino and Joseph Lancia, owners and operators of the nursing home, unveiled a plaque in memory of Johnson, who died of cancer in September. Giuseppe Lancia said when he and his father, Joseph, first hired employees prior to Belmont Manor's September 1995 opening, they were unfamiliar with Johnson.
"We hired a lot of good people at the onset," Giuseppe Lancia said. "Judy seemed to be very nice, very caring, and we took a shot with her and man, did we hit the jackpot."

ALZHEIMER'S UNIT NAMED — Pictured holding a plaque in the newly named Judy Johnson Alzheimer's Unit at Belmont Manor Nursing Home in St. Clairsville are, from left, Ohio Rep. Jack Cera, D-Bellaire; Jenna Johnson; J.W. Johnson; John Johnson; Joseph Lancia; Giuseppe Lancia; and Guirino Lancia. — Contributed
Johnson worked in the 10-bed Alzheimer's unit for her entire career, often working six days a week and rarely calling off. Guirino Lancia said Johnson loved her job, which was apparent from watching her work each day.
"She didn't work in a cushy, comfortable place, she worked in a place many might think is too dark to handle," he said of the unit. "But that didn't bother Judy. She brought joy, a smile, life, light and laughter into the nursing home because she loved working here."
Guirino Lancia said Johnson had the ability to make even the most scared resident feel at ease through her smile and calming nature. He said she was very aware of her abilities and skills and put them to good use.
"She's humbled me and taught me about what is most important," he said. "That's to serve without complaining, be quick to care for others, be a light in the darkness and have a thankful heart."
Ohio Rep. Jack Cera, D-Bellaire, also was on hand Monday to honor Johnson, who he said he has known since childhood. Cera said while Johnson was typically quiet and reserved, her caring nature was always apparent.
"The Olack and Johnson families have a long history of helping others, and she continued that," he said.
Johnson's husband, John, said he was able to inform Johnson of the dedication prior to her passing.
"She was too weak to show a lot of emotion, but I could see it in her eyes that she was honored and humbled," John Johnson said. "She thought and cared about these people all the time, even when she was at home. She truly loved this place."

"How he [Capt. Samuel Samuels] ends his narrative is just as compelling as how he begins, and his words will haunt readers long after they close the cover."
"This book is a quintessential nautical yard…The Dreadnought's widely-hailed captain was as skilled with a pen as he was when managing a ship in a raging storm. From Forecastle to Cabin is a nautical page-turner that may be completed in an evening. It is a splendid read."
— The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord, October 2012
This is the autobiography of an American who ran away to sea at the age of 11 and charts his rise from the lowliest seaman to the command of his own ship and the occupation of the luxurious after cabin. Best known as captain of the Dreadnought in his later years, Samuel Samuels was often in danger both ashore and afloat, and his many adventures make excellent stories.
Captain Samuel Samuels was raised in Pennsylvania, and left home as a young boy after his father remarried. He was forced to retire from his seagoing career after serious injury, only to forge a second successful career as the skipper of several large racing yachts in the 1870s and 1880s.

Vampires versus Zombies, round one . . .
Vampire detective Felix Gomez has seen a lot of weird things since becoming one of the undead—nymphomaniacs, aliens, and X-rated bloodsuckers, just to name a few—but now he comes face-to-face with the worst sort of undead.
To stop a ravenous army of zombies, Gomez must team up with a precocious teen with clairvoyant powers whose cooperation comes at a price: she won't help unless Felix makes her a vampire . . . if the zombies don't get her first.
About the Author
Mario Acevedo is the bestselling author of The Nymphos of Rocky Flats, X-Rated Bloodsuckers, The Undead Kama Sutra, and Jailbait Zombie. He lives and writes in Denver, Colorado.
Praise For…
Fans of splattery Hollywood-style horror will have fun with this tale of violence and mayhem.
-Publishers Weekly
"Acevedo has proven once again that he is a very disturbed man—and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term."
-Tim Dorsey
"Acevedo's vampire comedy provides plenty of chuckles, particularly in its exciting final wrap-up, which leaves an opening for further Felix adventures."
-Booklist (starred review)
"The hero of this whodunit is an Iraqi Freedom soldier turned vampire turned gumshoe. The plot tests credulity here and there, but the snappy dialogue (pun intended), the pace and the porn stars (supernatural and otherwise) who populate the book more than compensate."
"The Nymphos of Rocky Flats is a witty, fast-paced, detective tale that also manages to update vampire lore in clever and imaginative ways."
-El Paso Times
"The Nymphos of Rocky Flats is a sassy, fast, fun read, and the mystery wraps up nicely."
-Boulder Daily Camera
"Warning: The author of this book must be a vampire, because he had me hypnotized from page one. I defy anyone to read the first chapter of Acevedo's The Nymphos of Rocky Flats and not fall under its spell. Vampire P.I. Felix Gomez is irresistibly entertaining."
-Rick Riordan, Edgar Award winning author of Mission Road
"Witty, fast-paced . . . manages to update vampire lore in clever and imaginative ways."
-El Paso Times
"Deliciously unique. A smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry. Loaded with thrills, sex, violence, and laughs, both mystery fanactics and horror lovers will find plenty to love with this page-turning debut. Acevedo is a writer to watch!"
-JA Konrath, author of Bloody Mary

The growth in NGL plant output means end-use consumption depends less on receiving supply from refinery operations. It could also further limit demand for OPEC crude oil.
At a minimum, US natural gas liquids (NGL) plant production
will add about 525,000 bpd to global oil supply, and the rest
of the world will add another 350,000 bpd between now and the
end of 2015, according to the recently-released Global
Crude Oil Outlook from consultancy ESAI Energy.
The primary implication of growing NGLs is that they further
limit the call on OPEC crude, the group says. At the same
time, the growth in NGL plant output means end-use consumption
depends less on receiving supply from refinery operations.
The production of ethane, LPG and plant condensates (pentanes
plus) from gas processing can replace the demand for LPG or
naphtha from refineries. For example, new ethylene cracker
capacity around the world may either be geared to run ethane or
have the flexibility to switch between ethane, plant LPG and
Likewise, pentanes plus can replace naphtha as a crude oil
diluent. And of course, plant LPGs may compete with refinery LPGs. The contribution of
gas processing to oil supply is somewhat akin to
the growth in alternative fuels, which have replaced
refinery-derived transport fuels.
As a result, global refinery throughput growth will
increasingly not track global oil demand growth,
making refining profitability even more

If this supply is sustainable, should help keep crude prices in check
Antonio D'Alessio Italy
Also butadiene production will be affected, as ethane crackers processing natural gas do not produce butadiene (actually produced by virgin naphtha crackers).Scarcity of butadiene means scarcity of raw material for production of SBR syntetic rubbers, largely employed for construction of car tyres.New technologies have to be developed for additional production of butadiene, compensating the scarcity.
4D Engineering Italy
Another result, not clearly evidenced, will be following.1. Ethane crackings, processing virgin nahphta, are producing also butadiene as a subproduct.2. Ethane crackings, processing natural gas,do not produce butadiene3. Butadiene is a raw material for production of syntetic rubbers (styrene-butadiene rubbers SBR), utilized for car tyres production4. The result will be scarcity of SBR rubber on the market, unless new technologies will be utilized for production of butadiene.5. Promising technologies are the processes of production butadiene from bioethanol, coming from vegetables fermentation.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
