1366x768 = Shouldn't be allowed to call it an ultrabook!
Intel owns the TM, and apparently they don't think resolution matters - maybe because make screens!
Intel specifies minimum CPU, max weight, size/thickness ratio, battery life, but not screen resolution.
It wouldn't matter that much if there was any actual choice in this any more - it's like Henry Ford has come back to life "You can have it in any resolution you like as long as it's 1366x768!"

I have a custom post type created for a directory that will end up being sorted alphabetically. I will be sorting the posts in alphabetical order by title, so I want to make sure that the Title is entered as last name/first name. Is there a way to change that default help text -- "Enter Title Here" -- in my custom post to something else?
There is no way to customize that string explicitly. But it is passed through translation function and so is easy to filter.
Try something like this (don't forget to change to your post type):
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I'd like to add that there is also dedicated filter for this: enter_title_here
A working example:
Don't forget to change YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE to your custom post type and your textdomain if required.
Take a look in
Sorry to dig this question up from grave, but there's a better solution provided since WordPress 3.1. The
The best way to get the title format you want is to remove the title completely and add two custom fields for the name parts with proper labels. When the post is saved, create the title per PHP.

I have my own virtual server in the cloud, running nginx and APC. On this server I have one wordpress blog using the W3TC-plugin. I've enabled page cache and object cache using APC.
When accessing front page, pages and posts the response from the server comes almost instantly. But when doing a search, the response takes 1 second.
I'm wondering if it is possible to make the response faster.
Using the Debug Queries WP-plugin I've profiled the search sql query and it only takes 0.002 to complete. And according to W3TC most objects are cached. In fact, the Debug Queries plugin give the following report on a search result:
Total query time: 0,01482s for 120 queries.
Page generated in 0,00000s, 0,00% PHP, 0,00% MySQL
So it seems as if the page is generated very quick. But the response from the server still takes 1 second to complete.
How can I find out what it is that makes the response is taking long, even though the page is generated quick?
Note: I'm only talking about the response time from the server, not the time that it takes to generate the page in the browser.
Here is a example search result from my site.

We're trying to do emulsion PCR using HA-coated polystyrene beads and we're noticing that the beads are seeing drastic issues with thermal degradation above 90C. As PCR has an unfortunate requirement of requiring a high temperature, I was curious about what options are out there to reduce the temperature during PCR denaturation or to stabilize the beads.
Perhaps isothermal amplification is possible (NASBA)?
Amplification of DNA also seems possible (NASBA at biomerieux).
Look at chemical hydrogen bond breakers. Guanadine hydrochloride is included in the buffer conventionally to compete with the the hydrogen bonds that form the double helix. Other hydrogen bonders like Propionamide and 2-Pyrrolidone can weaken the helix and I would think lower the melting point of the bonds.
How much the Tm is affected would depend on the concentration of the breaker in the buffer. It might not be possible to lower the temperature this much and you may loose specificity - you might be able to squeeze a few more degrees if the oligos can't get any shorter.

Senior physics majors Megan Russ and Collin Stillman work with Geneseo's particle accelerator, one of the few in the country at a liberal arts college.
GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo's physics department was second among the nation's more than 500 primarily undergraduate institutions for producing the largest number of students graduating with physics degrees from 2008-2010, according to data recently published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP).
Geneseo averaged 26 graduates per year in the classes of 2008-10. Only the U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland graduated more with an average of 31.
"The AIP statistics confirm the quality academic program we have built here at Geneseo, and I credit the hard-working and creative faculty and staff in our department for the sharp increase in the number of majors we have seen in recent years," said Charles Freeman, professor and chair of Geneseo's Department of Physics and Astronomy. "All of our students truly receive an outstanding education in physics, and a very large number work closely with our faculty on a wide variety of high-impact undergraduate research projects. This allows our students to gain valuable hands-on experience and to immerse themselves in an area that piques their interest."
SUNY Geneseo's Department of Physics and Astronomy prepares its students for a variety of careers including engineering and related fields, teacher certification and research in industry or graduate school. In addition to teaching, the department's eight full-time faculty members are involved a variety of research projects, providing numerous opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved in research with faculty during the year and in the summer. Many students involved in research travel to physics conferences with faculty to present findings to a wider physics community.
The AIP is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare.

I just purchased a new home and in one of the bathrooms there is an old exhaust fan and two light switches. There is a recessed light located in the ceiling above the shower and another light above the sink, each on their own switch. I would like to wire it so that when I turn on the light in the shower, the fan also kicks on. If possible, I would like to put it on a timer so that I can set it for a certain period of time in order to run the fan while I am away from the house? Is it possible to connect both the light and the new fan to the same switch?
Without knowing more about the current wiring, it's hard to say exactly what you'll have to do. I'm assuming the feeder from the panel enters at the switch, but I'll try to cover some other situations as well.
Power at the switches
If the power enters at the switches, you should already have a feeder cable (probably 14/2 with ground) coming into the box. There will then be two (again, probably 14/2 with ground) cables leaving the box. The cable that enters will be spliced (or pigtailed), on the black (hot) to feed one side of each switch. The white (neutral), will be spliced and connected to the white wires of both exiting cables, The bare ground wire will be connected to both switches, both wires exiting the box, and possibly the box itself. You won't have to worry about the light over the vanity, since that will not change. You will, however, have to add an additional cable between the light in the shower and the fan.
Without seeing the location, it's difficult to say exactly what the best method is to run this cable. Though if you have access from above, it should not be that difficult. Start by turning off the power to the circuit at the breaker. Once you've run the cable, connect the fan. Black to black, white to white, bare ground to green or terminal screw. At the light over the shower, you'll have to again connect black to black, white to white, and ground to ground. If the light uses screw terminals, you'll have to use pigtails to make the connections. To do this, simply remove the existing connections (making sure to remember what went where). Use a wire nut to connect the wire that was connected to the fixture to the wire in the new cable, and a 6" bit of scrap wire. Then connect the 6" pigtail to the fixture, and repeat for each wire. It might be helpful to do one set of wires at a time, so all the wires are not disconnected from the light fixture at the same time.
Finish by reinstalling the fixtures, and turning the power back on.
Power at the lights
This is less common, though may be the case if the lights were not installed at the same time. In this case, you'll have a feeder cable (from the breaker) entering both light fixture boxes (or possibly only one, depending on the setup). In this situation, you have two separate circuits (that may or may not be controlled by the same breaker, so be careful). Again, we'll only have to worry about the switch and light over the shower.
Turn off the breaker that controls the light over the shower (and the one that controls the vanity light, if they are not the same). As before, you'll have to run a new cable between the shower light and the fan. Once that is complete, connect the fan following the steps above. In the light box, you'll likely see that the black wire from the feeder cable connects directly to the existing cable that exits the box. This is feeding power to the switch. You should also see a black stripe, or tape on the white wire from the cable that goes to the switch. This wire is only hot when the switch is on, and you'll have to connect it to the black wire on the light and the black wire in the new cable you installed. The white wire from the feeder cable should be connected to the white wire on the light. You'll want to tie the white wire from the fan, in with these wires. Connect all the bare/green ground wires together, to complete the wiring.
Finish by reinstalling the fixtures, and turning the power back on.
Other information
If the fan was controlled by another switch (or whatever), you'll have to trace the feeder back to its source, disconnect it, and cap the wires. You don't want to leave live wires hanging around in the walls.
I mention wires by color, but keep in mind what I say and what you see might be completely different. The descriptions and diagrams I use are for a typical installation, there is no telling what was done by a previous owner. Make sure to verify what each wire is, where it goes, and where it comes from.
If you'd like the shower light and fan to be controlled by a timer, you can swap the current switch out for a timer (there are many available). Just make sure the timer is rated for motor loads, since you'll be running the fan motor off of it.
As always, if you do not have the knowledge or tools; or are simply not comfortable doing the work, please don't hesitate to call an Electrician.

How do you evaluate how much you feel you ought to be paid as a junior programmer?

Questions on Programmers Stack Exchange are expected to relate to software development within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Ask yourself how much added value you are providing to your company
Edit: Downvoters - skip to the end...
Simple formula:
This takes into account the fact that your employer will want to exploit you (you will always be underpaid), and allows for the overheads of having an employee on the books (training, heating the office, health and safety, equipment purchase etc).
How to work out your added value
Here are some scenarios that may help with your application of the above formula. These have been left in as an illustration of thought processes, you may want to simply skip to the end.
Internal software
Let's assume you do some work on an internal software product that helps to automate a previously manual process. Instead of that process taking an admin worker in Accounts all day to complete, they can now do it with a click of a mouse. The admin worker is now freed up to do other work and the Accounts department don't have to hire a new person to handle that manual process.
This is why they stumped up the cash from their budget to pay for you to develop this code for them in the first place.
You have saved the company the employer cost of a permanent admin worker - say $30,000. Therefore, you have justified your salary up to $10,000. In order to earn more, you need to provide more solutions that reduce the companies outgoings. As the company grows your contribution may affect a larger group of people, and as such your salary may increase (or you may be exploited more).
External software
Let's say you've just written a killer feature for your company's new commercial product. It retails at $3000, and the feature has caused an extra 100 units to be sold. (Your company is remarkable in that the sales force and developers get to chat freely by the water cooler). From that you deduce that your contribution was worth $300,000 to the company.
But... you didn't do it alone, did you?
The entire company exists to sell this product and everyone has made some kind of input - from the person who came up with the idea of the feature you implemented to you doing the coding to the marketing and the salesmanship that neatly cleaved the cash from the customer.
For argument's sake, let's assume that 10 other people were principal in making this feature a success. Therefore, by the formula above you justify $10,000 of your gross salary.
Open-source software
You work for free, don't you?
Only joking.
Assuming that you mean that your company provides free and open-source software (e.g. Ubuntu) then your company's income is dependent on alternative revenue streams (service contracts, advertising, philanthropist funding etc). As a result, matching your contribution to your salary is going to be hard.
The final word (read first)
From this article (provided by @Macneil)
which essentially states that you will never be able to work out directly what you are worth because you need to take into account a large number of contributing factors that are not available to you.
Realistically, you will have to compare yourself to others doing similar programming jobs in the same country. The problem there is that you are averaging out your individual contributions over the entire country which means that you won't be reaching your maximum earnings potential.
I keep a nose out on the market and occasionally get some offers I listen to. They give a rough estimate around how much you could achieve in terms of payment.
Also if you look at consultant firms they usually have a "ladder" with titles such as junior, senior etc. each with a pay-level and expected performance. If you meet up at consultant firms reqruitment events every now and then you can get the chance to see what the levels are like.
Once you start seeing the rates for various types of positions then you'll start to see the variability that role, experience, location, and industry make in determining compensation. From there you'll have to figure out what applies to you (and what to do next).
Hope that helps!
Go to some of the salary comparison websites e.g., glassdoor.com
search for your position, and use the filter to select your experience.
The range of salary stated on the website should be a rough guide.
Am I paid enough?
Well. When you start asking yourself this question it often means you're not? but knowing you're not paid enough doesn't mean you should be getting more money anyway.
Hence a more important question is:
Should I be paid more based on my experience and skills?
Now that's a completely different question. This question you can't directly answer yourself.
This is likely to be quite a different take as this isn't looking at compensation relative to others but rather in contrast to the rest of your life. Do you make enough to pay your bills and live a good lifestyle? Good being rather subjective here obviously as some people can live on a shoestring and others want to make millions each year. Another point here is to note that there are things beyond salary in terms of compensation that should also be counted though some of these can be hard to quantify such as how good is the work environment, the quality of the work being requested and personal satisfaction in doing it.
Two important questions:
Compare scales all you want, these are the things that matter in the end. At other jobs you will be given other responsibilities, so you cannot really compare the other peoples salaries.
You should be payed enough so you won't have to worry about getting paid.
For me personally, it weighs both ways, when its boring at work I start looking at my salary, when its fun at work, I usually don't care how much I make because I have fun.
P.S. Extra interesting movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc

if halo:ce anniversary wasn't coming out in a month i would definitely get this, but then again, that's probably why they're doing this
Halo, in all its various forms, is the worst first person shooter I have ever played, and is, in my opinion, one of the worst games of all time, if not the worst. I will never understand the obsession...
@tweakx4: I cannot seem to find anywhere online that states that Halo Anniversary will come with both the Defiant and Noble map packs. It seems that it more than likely will NOT. If I don't have to buy these (because I've pre-ordered Anniversary), please post a link stating they're included (I'd like to save the $10).

Roots of Russia's adoption ban
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sparked international outcry by banning adoptions of Russian children by American families. His action immediately halted the departure of hundreds of Russian orphans about to board planes to journey to a new life. It was a cruel move, widely condemned as "callous" and "vindictive."
No country adopts as many Russian children as America. According to the State Department, there have been 60,000 adoptions by American couples since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. That has now suddenly ended.

How can I level up my speech skill? Does selling items and persuading people increase my speech skill? Does it increase my speech skill when I wear fortify speechcraft and haggling clothes and drink fortify haggling potions?
This has been patched and is no longer possible.
Summary for those who can't watch the video: Go into the Black-Briar Meadery in Riften (after 8:00am, when it opens) and talk to the guy working there. Ask him about Maven, choose the "(Persuade)" option, repeat. (You might need to bribe him the first few times to get your Speech high enough to have a Persuade option.)
These are skill modifiers. They provide an increased speech skill while working, but do not raise your speech skill or provide skill experience.
You can persuade people, but the opportunities to do so are few and far between.
You can also find a speech trainer to convert gold directly into skill levels. This gets expensive above skill 50.
Instead, the fastest way is to interact with a merchant. Both buying and selling provide speech experience. The amount of gold determines this amount. Selling 5 items for 20 gold each or 1 item for 100 gold grant the same skill experience.
If you just buy and sell the same item back and forth to a merchant, you'll rack up a bunch of skill experience while only losing a portion of the item's value in the process. You could also combine this with other skills... Buy ingredients, craft a potion, sell it. Buy materials, make a weapon, enchant it, sell it. The more money that changes hands, the more speech skill you will gain.
I found it very effective to try and steal from guards, then persuade them to overlook it. They will let you go once. Every guard will let you go exactly once, the second time around that exact guard will not look the other way, but instead he will arrest you.
The fastest way is to barter i.e sell stuff to merchants. Persuading people also increases your speech skill, but it is easier to increase it by selling items since finding people to "convince" is more time-consuming.
Good luck!
SPOILER, even larger glitch
This exploit is game breaking, you can use it to make bows that oneshot anything (500+ damage), and other unreasonable bonuses. And then its even easier than playing on easy, so why bother. But its easy way how to get last few points of alchemy/speech, so I recomend not using it or using it ONLY for those level ups (and then use "normal" falmer helmet trick to make strong equip, but not so ridiculously strong).
Try taking 20 cabbages, sell them and then buy them back. It costs very little because of the low item cost.
What I did was make a new character (Breton or Nord, since they are the only ones that get +5 to speech) and then I picked all the plants and killed a bunch of animals, combined with the stuff from Helgen Keep. I got a couple of level ups from selling the stuff to Lucan. Do this a lot whenever travelling and then you will make a lot of money and level up speech a lot. Also level up stamina when doing this, so you have a larger carrying capacity.
Go to riften and go to the black briar shop speak to Ungrien and speak to him about maven black briar then after that persuade him to tell you the truth if about 10 mins you will have 70 speech then go to riverwood and speak to the man in the shop next to the forge and invest in his company then do two 24 hour time passes then go back in the shop and sell loads of items and u will have 10K gold

how will badges work in wolk
Probably the same way they do now.
You run a bunch of crappy low level heroics, kill Attumen over and over, collect badges, give them to a vendor and recieve items that are way to powerful for someone of your limited experience.
Mmm… bet that wasn't what you meant.
Do you mean old badges vs new badges?
Well I have no idea really, but that has never stopped me spouting off at the mouth.
Pure guess work here, either:
- Old badges loose all value (spend them now) and the new badges come into force allowing you to buy old and new badge vendor gear.
- Old badges can continue to be used for old badge rewards, the new badges only for rewards acquirable in WoLK.
Anybody out there that actually knows the answer to this one?
Gnomer and Out!

I do not have a chain whip or sprocket ring tool. Is it possible to change the rear sprocket without these tools?

To complete jm2's advice : you'll need the lockring tool. You could borrow it to your friend or go to your local bicycle workshop.
There is indeed an "ingenious technique" I've successfully used to screw the sprocket without using any chainwhip : use your chain ! It has been described here by guys from Milano, I assume you can use it to unscrew your sprocket :
For the lockring a hammer and screwdriver works sometimes, but you end up damaging everything involved except the hammer, sometimes to the point that you can't get the lockring tool to work after the fact.
Does it have a lockring? If not, just get a friend to hold the bike steady and try to pedal backwards.
I don't have a lockring on my commute bike and, after a series of braking manoeuvres in short succession, I've had my cog come loose while in action. That's quite scary!
If you do have a lockring then, well, you can do it with a hammer and screwdriver - it's really just a question of whether you want to reuse it again.
Or just wander into your LBS and ask to borrow their tools. Most good mechanics will gracefully decline, but will explain to you why buying one yourself is the best solution ...
I've heard of people doing it with a hammer and a screwdriver. It's not the best idea though. It won't be easy, and you'll foul the lockring and your cog's teeth.
Just plonk down the $20 on getting the proper tools for the job.
With two wood blocks in a vise or drawn together by long bolts, you can grip a sprocket without damage. In the years when I placed a sprocket on my road hub (no lockring, even though a bottom bracket lockring would fit as a jam nut), it finally was on so solidly that I could skid the rear wheel without breaking free.
I seem to recall that in desperation one day, since it was a fixed gear bike, that I left the chain on the rear sprocket, while off the front sprocket allowing me to wrap the slack around the BB and secure it somehow. Then I could rotate the rear wheel forward by hand, which was able to release the sprocket.
A home-made chain whip is not too hard -- metal about 1/8" thick, drilled to allow a chain pin through. I don't think I added a length of chain for sprocket support, but rather let the 'whip' chain wrap around the sprocket. The metal piece had to be reinforced with wood to prevent buckling.

WACO (December 17, 2012)--A jury was seated and testimony was set to begin at 1 p.m. Monday in Waco's federal court in the trial of a South Texas police officer who is charged with conspiring to traffic more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana.
Eliseo Montes, Jr., is charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute at least 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, according to an indictment provided to News 10 by the U.S. Attorney's office in San Antonio.
That amounts to about a ton of marijuana.
U.S. Attorney's office spokesman Daryl Fields said during the time of the alleged marijuana conspiracy, Montes was a patrol officer with the Laredo Police Department.
The indictment says beginning in October 2004, Montes, in conjunction with several others, conspired to buy large quantities of controlled substances for later sale and brought some of the contraband to Central Texas for distribution.
The indictment alleges the sales were completed on a 'front" basis, which means the drugs were sold on consignment and the proceeds were later collected from the sellers.
Once the money was collected from the sellers, the funds were channeled through U.S. banks and the currency was laundered and was then used to buy more drugs for sale.
Court documents also indicate the U.S. Attorney is seeking to forfeit $2 million from the defendants, which the government says was profit in the drug scheme, plus any other property that could have been acquired during the conspiracy.

Keeping Parks Clean
Did you know you can use the Find My Local application to find Parks near you or to find the name of the park that you need.
You can use these buttons to request emptying of dog bins in parks, report litter in parks or report litter cut up and left behind by mowers.
Parks and Nature Conservation Services are responsible for ensuring that litter and debris is cleared before mowing grass and weeding shrub beds and flower beds.
Daily checks are made to ensure lifebelts and throwing aids are available at pools in parks. You can use the Remove Debris from Pools and Streams in Parks button to report debris blocking the flow of water and causing flooding or general rubbish in pools. You can also report problems with lifebelts and throwing aids using this form.
If you wish to report pollution or excessive pond weed (algal bloom) you need to contact the Environment Agency.
If you wish to report litter on public streets, you can use the street cleaning request form.
- Remove Debris in Pools and Streams
This service applies to parks and open spaces only - this excludes pools and streams on land owned by Housing, Highways, Education and privately owned land.
Debris might include:
- Lifebelts and throwing aids
- Shopping trolleys
- Rubbish and Tipped material
Fallen tree branches and water vegetation is a natural phenomenon in pools and streams and provides valuable habitat e.g. for fish to spawn, birds to nest. Debris will be removed if it creates a serious risk of flooding properties. In early summer a "scum" is often reported on ponds which is caused by flowers from Poplar trees settling on the water surface
Algal blooms - thick green pond weed - is also reported during warm summer weather.
- Dog Fouling
Dog bins can be found in parks and open spaces.
All bins are emptied at least once a week.
It is an offence if dog walkers do not clean up after their dogs when they foul anywhere to which the public has a right of access. This includes:
- Pavements
- Paths
- Playing fields
- Grass Verges
- Gutters
- Carriageways
- How often do you check the lifebelts?
These are checked daily and replaced in their housing. If you find one missing please let us know.
- Why don't you remove tree branches from pools and streams?
Fallen tree branches and water vegetation is a natural phenomenon in pools and streams and provides valuable habitat. e.g for fish to spawn and birds to nest. We will remove it if it creates a serious risk of flooding properties.
- What is the scum on the water?
In early summer scum may be caused by flowers from Poplar trees settling on the water surface. It may also be caused by pollution, if in doubt call the Environment Agency.
- How often do you clear the litter?
Litter is cleared from maintained grass areas just before it is cut.
- Can't find what you're looking for?

Life Cycle of a Book (continued): Part 4 Circulation
Written by:GCLD Staff
If you have been following this series on the "Life Cycle of a Book" you will know that we have covered materials selection, ordering, and processing and cataloging. Circulation, or the borrowing and returning of library materials, cannot occur until all those processes have been completed. Circulation is a huge part of what happens every day in a library, and it involves both library users and library staff.
The books, DVDs, audio books, etc. that are available on your library's shelf can be checked out immediately. Once you have made your choice, the barcodes are scanned at the self-check or circulation desk, a receipt is printed and you are on your way. Loan periods can vary depending on the library and the item type. In Grand County DVDs, magazines and music are loaned for only 1 week; all other materials are loaned for 3 weeks. New materials may not be renewed due to popular demand.
If you find that something you want is already checked out, it can be placed on hold through our Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). This can be done in the library or at home via our website at www.gcld.org. Holds are a common occurrence with new and popular items. The OPAC will tell you how many holds already exist on an item so you can easily decide whether you want to wait. Once your hold is ready for pick up your will be notified. Materials are re-shelved or put back into circulation if holds are not picked up within a specified number of days.
As part of the Marmot Library Western Slope Consortium and the Colorado Prospector interlibrary loan system, our Grand County Library District (GCLD) users have access to over 30 million items from all over the state. These items can be placed on hold via our OPAC and are sent to your specified pickup location via a statewide library courier service. If the items are on the shelf, they will usually be delivered within one week. Loan periods for lending libraries vary and the respective due dates will be printed on the circulation receipt.
When you return materials to a local branch or book drop, the barcode is scanned again during the check-in process by staff and your library card account is cleared. Items belonging to the return location can be shelved immediately. Other items must be put in transit back to the owning location whether that is another GCLD branch or a library outside Grand County. Between January and July of 2011 we checked out over 125,000 items for Grand County Library District, many sent to us by other libraries. Make sure you take advantage of the many ways you can borrow with your GCLD library card. Grand County Library District is bigger than you think.

I know, that there is a topic about it on Ubuntu forums, but I think I will get old before I get an answer there (if there is one).
I would like to disable it by default, but to have possibility to enable or disable it later.
UPD: I'm looking how to disable Wireless adapter. Something like Fn + ... in Windows, but in windows it remembers the last state. In Ubuntu wireless adapter is always enabled at startup.

excellent stuff, KUTGW!!
only thing i would have liked to see would be the player profiles they used to have in the old FM magazine where the players would comment on their stats. Maybe next time eh?
Great read though, well done to all concerned.
It's a good idea, but will take a lot more blagging for an amateur fanzine to get interviews than it would for SI.Originally posted by rooneymagic88:

Good job
Thanks for the review - 7.5 out of 10 is a pretty good start for a baby fanzine! There are one or two points I would like to pick up, partucularly on the following statement:Originally posted by JordanC:
I just posted a very detailed review on the first issue:
"One primary job of any media endeavor is to provide the public with a centrist view of current events as well as editorial commentary that shows both positive and negative sides."
View From The Touchline 100% covers that statement in my opinion.
Negatives - not a big leap forward, wrong choice of features, nearly didn't buy it, the white skin, closing down bug and slow matches (written pre-patch), questioned decision to release beta, small mistakes have a big effect.
Positives - The complexity of such a game makes bugs inevitable, I like the game anyway.
The article was never intended as some kind of expose or to be Devil's Advocate. The forum has more than exhausted any new angle on criticism and I wanted to go somewhere new - to understand why this happens and rather frustratingly, why it will probably continue to happen. This forum is not a pleasant place to be right now and I didn't really want to continue that atmosphere into my first article for the fanzine.
The one thing that perhaps could be different was to have updated the article after the patch, but I didn't feel that it would change the main idea of the article and wanted to concentrate on getting enough material together.
As for Miles interview, it was a good read and to write it off as a puff piece is a bit unfair. I learnt a lot about Miles role in the company. We will hopefully work our way round the SI staff, so Ter has already answered questions on the reaction to the skin and hopefully we can speak to Paul Collyer somewhen and get some insight into the match engine.
We don't have to answer all the world's ills in one edition of the magazine!
Anyway, other than that thanks for the kind words about my writing. I haven't been hiding as such - I used to write for the original incarnation of the Bootroom and I have posted a lot of ideas on this forum in the past. Less so recently because those threads don't get the response they used to. The fanzine is a much better vehicle, so if anyone has any subjects they would like to be tackled in the Big Idea then drop us a line. Next month will be about the much needed expansion of team talks.
I'm glad you took the time to respond to a lot of the feedback I offered in the review. This back-and-forth sharing of viewpoints is a positive way to further the magazine. Regardless of my exact opinions with some of the perspective, I'm totally in your corner as far as making sure this project reaches its highest potential.
I really had to address the journalistic issue in the Jacobsen piece because I was attempting to read the magazine using different views within the scene. In no way was the interview bad (I did like the questions about FM Live) but I believe when a lot of readers see "Q&A w/ Miles Jacobsen" they would expect at least one question about the supposed "bugs", patch releases & future fixes. I think that would have been more relevant to FM gamers than a few choices in the questions asked.
Failure to "ask the tough questions" as said within the media industry can sometimes come across, although unwarranted, as a form of appeasing or sucking up to the subject. Especially with the zine being hosted on SI Games with a sticky on top of the GQ forum, it could portray to many users as sactioned literature by the company. As with all media that's controlled by governments, it's typically not trusted very well by the general public.
You're completely unaffiliated and independent though. I know this. You know this. I'm just concerned that many people (mostly the critics of SI) can easily and wrongfully assume the zine as "propaganda". I'm typically on the "fanboy" end of the spectrum and I noticed the seemingly obvious omission of critical view (not asking Miles about bug issues). Imagine the thought in the minds of the countless "moaners"?
You've done a great job nonetheless and applaud all the effort. Like I said in the review, it's an absolute read for any FM gamer. I look forward to the next issue and will review it with the same depth and passion as I have this one.
Thanks for the review and for your follow-up comments and I'm grateful that you've offered both criticism and praise where you think it is merited.
While I don't agree 100% with everything you said, it's invaluable to get a different viewpoint and I'm sure that we can take some of your concerns on board. With the exception of Pete, I don't believe any of us have had any prior experience with writing material for public consumption, so we're on a steep learning curve.
However, I'd like to clear up one thing, which is important to me at least. While you suggest that we need to take a 'journalistic' stance and be seen to be asking the tough questions of people like Miles, I completely disagree. The community is already populated by hundreds of regularly updated fansites and thousands of forum threads, with a depressing tendency towards the "This game is broken!" style reaction and everyone seems to feel they are entitled to answers and within their rights to demand patches/explanations/apologies/refunds. If people really want to slag off the game, then there are plenty of places to go. I'm quite happy that we can be something different.
I'd much rather concentrate on what's good about the game, it's community and the guys that develope and produce the game. While we don't intend to gloss over it's faults, what need is there to drag on about them? That's exactly why everyone shares the opinion that the majority of fan forums are not nice places to go. At times there will be a need to point out faults in this game, but when we do (and it didn't feel it was necessary in the very first issue) we'll aim to do it from the point of putting it into the context of the experience as a whole. I mean, lets face it, we're all playing (and taking about) this 'unplayable', 'bug-laden', 'disgrace' of a game and 99% of us are having a great time! If it's that bad, why does it outsell all others every year and continue to grow such a massive following? It ain't perfect, but it's still damn good!! Let's celebrate it and enjoy it...
I absolutely agree with your approach to not beat a dead horse since many fansites/forums have already been flooded with the kneejerk reaction to the current match engine. I think it was well serviced in the "Domino Toppling" piece. Concentrating on other aspects of the FM experience such as the stories (although I'm not big into it personally) and the where are they now?/Herbert Chapman articles I consider to be a GREAT choice of material.
Interviews, on the other hand, tend to have the greatest impact when the magazine seems to act as a liason connecting the the reader's mind to the person in question. It's always best when preparing the interview to think "what would our audience like to know most about this person or his opinions on a certain issue?".
Not to plug my podcast or claim the best interview skills, but in my feature with WWFan, I didn't want the conversation to be just an audio version of his tactical guides. In order to maintain freshness, keep current and provide unique insight, I made sure we went into depth about these match engine issues. In preparation, I said to myself "what would listeners like to hear WWFan's thoughts on?" Being that it's discussed constantly on forums, failing to address this main topic seemed like a disservice. I believed I succeeded in presenting it in the best light with constructive ideas that isn't neccessarily addressed across the FM community.
A decent analogy is getting an interview with George W. Bush right after the Iraq war, never asking him any questions about it and spending more time discussing "boxers or briefs?". (I know it's an exaggerative example)
That's why I liked the FM Live questions because it's something fresh that a lot of people are itching and waiting in anticipation for its public release. My general theory I'm trying to express is to concentrate more in that direction in future interviews. You can still include basic "get to know" type material at the beginning and end, but dedicate the bulk to current affairs and an a "scoop" that can't be found elsewhere. That's what makes a must-read feature.
I come from a broadcasting background though so maybe I'm just a tad bit biased with my view based on my education and experience. I'm also a stubborn over-analytical psycho perfectionist! LOL If it seems like I'm a little harsh with this matter, I apologize. For a fanzine that rose out of nowhere apparently, it's a hundred times better than I would have expected previously...so don't feel disheartened with my criticism. I do it out of love! LOL
In the end, our target audience is people who enjoy the game, or could enjoy the game with a little guidance. It's been nice to recapture some of the joy of playing FM and I genuinely believe that we can have more influence on the game with this approach. Not everyone will agree with that, but so far we have had a much better reaction than I ever anticipated.

By looking on the numbers of treads on this site, i think there are more people that want a patch than a fanzine.
Well maybe you are rich as hell, but i paid a hard-earned 50€ two months ago, with still no result.
I have an overdraft of £1200, nearly £4000 on the credit card, I'm trying to start a business so we have to rely on my wife's income which was reduced to virtually nothing while she was on maternity leave, so if that is your best argument then you need to try a little harder.Originally posted by eXistenZ:

Fair enough if you are not interested in a fanzine, fair enough if you don't feel you can play the game, but other people are interested and are enjoying the game.
Some people are quicker happy than others. And by looking on this forum, there are a lot of people not happy
1200£, i think 1 football manager is not a big disaster.
I have pocket money of 30€/ month, so 50€ is for me a lot of money. I did a job in the holydays, but that is money to set aside, and it is even no way reaching 1200£.
Great work, guys. Passion for the game comes across in abundance from reading it. It's this sort of thing which inspires us to keep putting every effort into the game we make.

Nice read
Hope to see many more in the future.
I'm really impressed by the quality. I'll be looking forward to the next one.
And thanks for all your hard work on it.
Truly a great idea and very well done! Congratulations, I am very impressed and am awaiting more
Great work; a good and useful read.
I don't know if you have already considered this, but the people here think that the Mighty Bandits deserve a mention in the next issue. I'm sure kipfish would be happy to talk to you. KUTGW
We're very conscious that our entire staff, currently, all hail from the UK. If there are any FMers out there from other countries that would be interested in writing something for us (obviously, since we publish only in English, you'll need to have strong written English) then we'd be very keen to hear from you.
Maybe you could write us some club/league/player guides for your home nation or those that border it? Maybe there's something you feel that needs to be covered that only someone from
could truly capture?
Drop us a line...
Great work to the guys that made it! A superb read! I particulary liked the Club feature on Portsmouth!
great effort lads, thoroughly enjoyed reading that.

Classic top gear rip off!
Love the fanzine, here's to many more being produced! Always did think it was a shame of the loss of the magazine. Obviously sales figures meant it was not financially viable, but it's great to have a more than capable substitute!
I thought that this was very good fanzine: I cannot wait until the next one!
But I do have one question about the section 'Adding Content: Coach Reports': the article states that you need to save it to the name of the skin that you are using. However, I would like to add this to the default skin. How do you do this?
Thank you for this in advance.
Since there has still been no sign of the official FMF extraction tool, which you need to gain access to any of the files distributed with the game, editing the default skin is not easy. to do so, you'd need a third party extractor and the knowledge of how to do so. Unfortunately, this is beyond my scope, so I'm afraid I can't offer any more help than to point you in the direction of the Graphics and Skinning Forum. Hopefully some one there could find a solution for you.Originally posted by pcmeister:

Sorry I can't be any more help than that...
The best compromise is to get Ackter's Metallic skin (the default skin with minor colour tweaks) and save it there.
Is it monthly fanzine?
When will the next fanzine release?
Yes, it is monthly.
great work guys! good read
Great Work Guys..
I loved the Team Review of Portsmouth, I hope its a monthly feature. In defunct mag M, they had a feature of saved game, where fans could send in save games, which they were having problems with. This would be a great feature to get back up and running imo.
Great Stuff
Very nice read.
Keep up the good work.
I'm already looking forward to the next issue, started reading it and just couldn't stop, interesting and I learned some things at the same time, keep up the great work!
First day back at work after the holidays and I cant say how much I enjoyed "easing back into work mode" by reading the fanzine. By that I mean not doing much work at all.
Great work guys, I thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of material and the manner in which it was written
Thanks again for the feedback. Please keep it coming.
FYI We've set the release of Issue Two for Jan 25th and we've got a bunch of stuff planned for you.
We're particularly keen to hear what you'd like to see covered in future issues, so keep sending us your ideas.
Fantastic fanzine guys, keep it up. Will there be a club feature in every issue?
I love the skin reviews. I got steklo, black-in2 and Flex.
The idea about the set-piece designer is great. Maybe SI will look at it and put it into FM09.
Yep. We're aiming to have at least one club guide in every issue. We'll try to cover a mix of clubs from around the world. If you have any suggestions for clubs you'd like to see covered, just let us know. (Or maybe you'd like to write a club review for us?Originally posted by varun↕§☺☻♫:

Great read looking forward to the next issue already
Really good stuff lads
Playmaker. I know you're involved with this but not sure how much so not sure if you can answer this.
Why hs the magazine been produced in it's current format?
I mean why is it a file that needs to be downloaded and viewed on acrobat?
For me to view it comfortably, I have to magnify it to 200%. When I do this I am only able to view half the eidth of the screen at any one time and the overall effect of the production is pretty much lost.
Would it not be possible to have the presentation done on a website that is clearer to see and easier to navigate?
Maybe it's just a question of cost and or resources so please don't take this too much as a negative.
The reason I mention this is that although I downloadec this a couple(ish) of weeks ago, (on the day it was first posted up here), I have given up after about 5-6 attempts to read it.
Sorry if this is a bit negative, and just so I finish on a positive I'll say that I absolutely loved the content ans will be downloading the next issue and struggling through it again.
Cheers .
Thanks for the feedback Jimbo. I've replied to your mail as well (or I will do shortly).
I'm surprised you have to go up to 200%, it displays quite nicely at 100% on my screen. I'm running at 1280 - is your resolution higher/lower/the same?
The format will probably stay the same, at least for now, but that is not to say it won't change later. It has enabled us to market the fanzine in a different way than if we were a website.
Also Chris is they guy who puts it all together once we have written the articles. He puts in a lot of work (there would be no fanzine without him) and the format is one that he is comfortable with producing (and presumably has the software for). I'm sure you will agree that struggling to read it in this format is better than nothing to read at all. I hope you agree anyway!
Behind the scenes we have put some work into improving the process of producing the fanzine, so we need to get a feel for how that works before we can even think about other alterations. For the moment it is a case of going with what we know works.
Thanks for the reply, (I haven't checked my mail yet).
Yeah, I don't have the best of monitors so maybe that's partly the issue, (and the fact that I like to sit back nice an comfortably rather than hunch up over the screen).
Of course I agree that anything is better than nothing, and this first effort is significantly better than nothing.
Jimbo, thanks for the feedback - part of the reason I chose to go for a PDF is that almost everyone can open the file. Some of the images and especially screenshots need to be visable and dropping them into another type of document would make this impossible
Also, the ability to print the fanzine and read it was key - I didn't want people to be playing the game and then having to stop playing to read articles, when the game is loading etc its great to have a hard copy to look at. So really the fanzine it designed to be read onscreen and printed to read when the computer is off. Don't know about you but I can't sit a read a whole fanzine on a screem - my eyes are killing after a few pages!!
At the moment I don't have the software or the knowhow to add this file on the web as a viewable file, something like 'the catflap' but it would be great to be able to get this done in the future. So in the future issues you may see a web version of the 'zine!
Thanks for the comments though, issue two is well on the way so more suggestionsare welcome - we need your help to make this even better!
Whens the next issue out?
The next issue is penciled for release the end of next week, we will keep you updated!
A good clue is how many messages you will see - the more we post the close release date is!

We're all sure you'll all like the next edition just as much as the first, hopefully more than!
Any more feedback is appreciated, and if anyone wants to do guides for their national leagues and/or clubs, get in touch!

I heard the Issue 3 is released?? True or not..
Just getting on to reading the 2nd edition. Nice to have an online fanzine, I can remember when I lived in the UK at one point there was a magazine fanzine in the shops.
Is that still going?
The find feature is great atlast !! There is a link..

Online Math Help
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 12:10 a.m.

The following is about an online educational tool that could help students learn math.
The website www.khanacademy.org is a remarkable learning tool. When Salman Khan realized he had the ability to teach, he began producing tutorials which are about 10 minutes long. To date he has produced 3,600 tutorials covering not only every subject in K-12 and beyond, as well as almost every possible subject of interest. Included are over 500 on math alone. All are free.
When Bill Gates was asked how he helps his children with math, he said he uses the Khan Academy and praised it.
Some 40,000 schools in our country now use it. It is translated into many languages and is being used around the world. The tutorials are clearly done and easy to understand. Even for me.
For parents, the academy would give them much to discuss at dinnertime. Their participation would be invaluable.

I just started using Ubuntu as my main OS and I wanted to learn about things I should not do, and learn by the bad things people have done in the past. I came across these email about horror stories that UNIX & Linux sys admins had done on their own system when they where new. Many of them involved the use of the mknod command to both distory and fix a problem. I've never heard of this command before and the man page within Ubuntu is not very helpful. So my question is, what is this command used for, and what are some examples where it is useful in day to day use?
So yes, in case of a near complete disaster causing the

There's a neat iOS app called MobiForms (www.mobiforms.com). It's available for the iPod/iPhone yet somehow they are bypassing the Apple app store and selling it to you directly. How are they doing that? This is a unique trick I have not encountered yet.
there is no MobiForms App in the iOS App store.
Basically what you are buying from them is a cross platform development tool.
The development tool outputs an app, and you then pay them to make your iDevice a registered development device, and you can then install the app on your phone as if you were a real iOS developer.

I was using the pomodoro technique while programming. The Pomodoro timer finished and I was just in the middle of adding a new parameter to a function and was refactoring my code to make sure that the new parameter is propagated everywhere.
According to the technique, I'm suppose to drop everything and stop. But with programming (and with other tasks), when you're in a zone...keeping variables and logic in short term memory, I think it's actually counter productive to stop right when the Pomodoro rings. I feel like one should finish that last thought or unit of work before stopping. Otherwise, after you take a break, you need to reestablish context for your task and you'll basically be wasting some time at the beginning of the next Pomodoro to do this.
Can I extend the Pomodoro just so I can come to a good stopping point?

I have a application which will be available in 4 languages: French, German, Danish and English. All the text in the app will be translated, but should the EULA also be translated? What is the common way of handling this? The lawyer has accepted the english version of the EULA and I assume all the translated versions should also be accepted then. Is it okay just to use a English EULA?

migrated from stackoverflow.com May 4 '11 at 22:23
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
This is not a software question, it's a legal question. Ask your lawyer.
Ultimately, it's about this: under which jurisdiction will any EULA violations fall? And does that jurisdiction treat foreign-language license agreements any different than native ones? Does it even recognize EULAs as binding at all? For example, under German law, any EULA that the user only gets to see after buying the product is void, so in Germany EULAs are basically legal masturbation. Even in the US, courts have found some EULAs invalid.
(I am not a lawyer.)
You may provide additional translations if youw lawyer permits, but:
The basic idea is that there can not be ambiguities in the EULA - i.e. if the two translations of the EULA say two different things.
If you have the EULA translated into the French language and then you're selling your software in both France and Canada, for example - your lawyer will need to customize the French-language EULA so that certain sections which only apply to France or to Canada are clearly labeled. (You may also store the two country-specific EULAs as two copies.)
This assumes your lawyer can read the language natively without the help of back-translation. Otherwise, the translated version has to be proofread by law firms in those countries, and you'll need to spend money.
(Once again - I am not a lawyer. Just some thoughts. Others with more knowledge are welcome to chime in.)
We are using different application in a large enterprise in Germany. The applications are never internationalized and so are the EULAs. At least here in Germany, it is not generally expected to have a "native" EULA provided.
When i install a program from a big corporation it usually asks the language and then show the EULA in the chosen language. So yes.
Time for a different approach!
The incomprehensible lawyer babble of license agreements just sucks. It is most ridiculous that often one is expected to "Accept" it, where it is clear as pikestaff that nobody who hasn't attended a year or two at a law school really knows what he is accepting, that being a reason that in some countries such "agreements" are null and void from the outset, and rightly so.
Therefore, instead of stealing valuable time of people, just leave displaying the EULA out. You can have a link somewhere in case someone really wants to see it. This also answers your question regarding the language. Write it down in Klingon, nobody even will notice.
For Germany you don't need to translate the EULA - it will not become effective in this juristication.
(I'm not a lawyer)

Morning Briefing for April 21st: Watching the Range Trade
8:58 AM CT - Note the relative strength among bank and homebuilder shares, but only a little more than 500 advancing stocks than decliners so far. Health care and materials shares relatively weak; watching closely to see if this is simply sector reallocation or if the rally in banks can lift the broad market.
We're trading toward the top of a broad multiday range; handicapping whether we can attract fresh buying at the highs vs. fall back into the range will set up the best trades for today. I'll be watching the intraday advance-decline line and new 20-day highs/lows carefully during the day for clues as to the likelihood of sustaining a breakout: with a little over 1300 new 20-day highs on Tuesday, we're seeing some thinning of participation on this most recent leg up in stocks. Note also that we're falling short of recent highs overseas, in EEM and EFA.

I am wondering what is the obsession, mild or more than so, of predicting tops and corrections? Ever since I've been reading technical analysis blogs since last May, the overwhelming theme has been make the bearish case. I wonder if a key reason 99 percent of daytraders don't make money is because they are constantly going short, with the aid of so-called expert advice, during raging bull markets. Dr Brett,as a psychologist, I wonder if you can shed some light into this mass bear trader psychology.
- Joel said...
As a novice trader, I find this type of day one of the most challenging/frustrating and am inclined to sit on the sidelines to see how it unfolds. I can think of as many reasons that the market could continue to climb as it could to fall back. No conviction.

I am a new day trader and before I enrolled into a training program with a good trading and educational firm ( SMB Capital) I lost money and made money without knowing WHY?
I am still in the training ( unlike 99% of training programs which last 2 days to 7 days)my formal training will continue for 3 months and then on.
I see every day good day traders making INSANE amount of money ( even after SMB training majority of traders fail for various reasons just like a high percenatge of professionall ball players never make it even after being drafted- I wonder how many of my REDSOX drafted players just sit on bech or get cut loose year after year- my guess it's a quite a high number).
In my view- you can either be an Investor ( Jim Rogers- majority of the people do not have stomach and wisdom of his long term view and patience) or a trader.
To a trader ( day trader or swing trader) it does not matter if market is up or down. They trade the market as price action is in front of them. There are several tools to gauage price and volume action- and I find Dr. Steenbarger analysis along with several other blogs helpful in clarifyig market price action.
A professional day trader starts his/her trading day without a FIRM BELIEF ( they might have a long or short) and they are EXTREMELY FLUID and trade based on PRICE and PRICE ONLY.
So to Joel and M- do not worry about if market is going up or down if you want to be a trader or just invest in Index funds and be happy with market returns ( 99% of the money manager have a poor track record on a 10 year basis).
Word of Caution to new traders: I will keep my full time job and spend 2- 4hours every day for at least 1 year before thiking about day trading full time. I made the mistake and I am still payig for it.

Hey Tariq,
Let's keep it up. I am also a developing trader with dedicated passion. However, I am still far away from being a consistent winning trader.
I believe I have a winning tool for day trading, since some of my friends with the same tools can make lots of money, but not me.
So my goal is to: (1) trade with discipline that do not chase the market, only action according to my indicators (2) become a consistent full time trader high winning probability.
