We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Don't bother to build a server from components. You can get new or secondhand servers from the usual suspects (HP, Dell etc.) and from white box vendors building systems based on chassis from Supermicro, Intel or various other vendors. Get an off-the-shelf one - buy secondhand from a reputable dealer if you want to save money. Some hints and tips:
Consider allocating some of your 10k budget to pay for advice from someone who has built a server before. 10k assumes a reasonably high-traffic site and there are a lot of things you can get wrong at that level.
Argh! How can people answer this question without more information???
1) Rough estimate of server load would be a great start
2) Uptime requirements. Maybe you don't want one server. Maybe you want two behind a load balancer (or cluster of load balancers) (or maybe co-located?)
3) Do you have any existing contracts with manufacturers?
Update the question with these answers, and you'll get much better responses.
You want lots of RAM. If you're doing this for your first time, buy something off the shelf from Dell. It's the quickest way to get up and running in a decent manor.
I hope you know software, because it's the major portion of this game.
Backup, Backup, Backup!
No Really, it's no use having the worlds greatest server if you cannot restore from a major disaster in as short a time frame as possible.
Backup Options
Create a list of objectives and purposes to help you identify your real needs:
Once you have some basic answers you can then decide if you need 1 server or need several servers to ensure uptime.
Also, a server is only as good as the system administrators maintaining it.
Consider getting a dual-core or even quad-core processor. And lots of RAM. $10k is a lot of money, so you could afford a great server with that. But also, as @BobbyShaftoe said, if you use a database, you should consider putting the database on its own server.
With budget of 10K€ you could for example buy three PowerEdge SC1435 uped to 2x quadcore Opteron 2.6 GHz, 32 GB RAM and 2x500 GB HDD in RAID. You could put then 2 to load balance, 3rd as backup.
If your web is database intensive, then a better option would be to buy one database optimized server (SDD drives, lot of memory) and 2 frontend webservers.
In addition to Wayne's excellent point about backup make sure you include a decent service agreement in your budget. Work out what engineer callout time you'll need - 4 hours, 24 hours etc - and how long you'll need it for.
No point having the best server in the world if you have to courier it off to the manufacturer if you get a hardware failure.
Lots of RAM and purchase through vendors like IBM. If you need assistance, feel free to contact me.
my experience in running this kind of stuff would suggest:
These are very broad guidelines based on my experience. We can't talk more specific since you didn't tell us what you need to do, how do you want to do it, what kind of software you'll use, if the system will be in a datacenter or not, blahblahblah
Oh, and before anything else, I'd recommend you DO NOT buy any server: rent one at your colo of choice, let someone else take care of hardware care & feed. Virtualized gear is ok too.
Also remember that great hardware and great software will give you nothing (other than some trouble, maybe) if you don't know how to use and manage them. If you run something new that you do not have experience of, you will have problems.
I also hate HP servers and HP support with a passion, usually I go Dell. Other (big, known) brands tend to cost more in the kind of systems you want for web servers.
Just buy a HP DL360/380 G6, it's what about 40% of people worldwide do. Of course I'm only being semi-serious here but it depends how much fun you have wringing your hands over detailed specs, I love it so can spend ages picking the right part, lots of people can't be bothered and that particular model/family is just a 'no-brainer' for lots of different uses.

HILLSBORO (January 24, 2013)-Six months after the July 24, 2012 shooting death of Judith Collins, 15, Hill County prosecutors are still waiting for sheriff's investigators to present evidence in the case.
The girl's father, Edwin Odell Collins, 41, was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the deadly shooting, but posted $500,000 bond in late July and was released from the Hill County Jail.
"A case has not been presented to me at this time," Hill County District Attorney Mark Pratt said Thursday.
"We are still waiting for the sheriff's office to hand one to us. They are waiting on some forensic evidence to return to them that will help build their case," Pratt said.
The teenager's mother and stepmother, Terri and Todd Millerd, issued a brief statement Thursday evening saying they're confident prosecutors will handle the case properly.
"We have been made aware, by the Hill County DA and Sheriffs office that the case is very important. We trust that when the DA's office has all the evidence the case will be handled in a way fitting to the incident that took Judith from us," the statement said.
An updated autopsy report sent to a Hill County justice of the peace in August confirmed that the cause of the girl's death was a shotgun wound to the back, but authorities said then that a ruling on the manner of death—whether accidental or intentional—was still pending.
Collins, whose family owns the Hitchin' Post store north of Whitney on FM 933, told deputies he shot and killed his daughter while he and his three children were trying to elude someone he claimed was chasing them in pre-dawn darkness early in the morning on July 24.
Hill County authorities released a recording of a brief, but curious 911 call that was placed early on the morning of July 24 from Collins' cell phone.
In the 911 call received at around 4:30 a.m. July 24 at the emergency call center in neighboring Bosque County, a man says, 'Hey we're down here at the Hitchin' Post and we have a bunch of cars…driving all over the property…(and) we don't know what's going on."
The call was dropped as a Bosque County dispatcher was transferring it to Hill County and in a second recording. the two dispatchers can be heard discussing it.
An automatic system identified the number of the cell phone from which the call was placed as Collins' and a second system identified the towers through which the call was routed, Hill County authorities said.
A Hill County deputy was dispatched to the Hitchin' Post, which is open 24 hours a day, but when he arrived, the store's owner told him there was no need for police, authorities said.
Collins later that day showed up at the Hill County Sheriff's Office and told authorities he shot his daughter to death with a 12-gauge shotgun while he and his children fled from an unknown pursuer.
Collins told deputies he believed someone was trying to "get him" early in the morning at his residence, at 186 Private Road 122, just north of Whitney, an arrest warrant affidavit said.
Collins, who's divorced, Judith, and his other two children Alex, 17, and Logan, 11, left the residence in the family's minivan, armed with a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun, the affidavit said.
They drove to the Hitchin' Post where Collins said they got out and walked to the rear of the store, but before they could go inside, they heard a long bang, which he believed to be a gunshot, the affidavit says.
Fearing there might be someone inside the store, Collins told deputies he and his children hid behind a large concrete block where he used his cell phone to make what evidently was the 911 call that was routed to the Bosque County Sheriff's Office at around 4:30 a.m.
Collins told deputies he then saw what he thought were two flashlights and said he fired several shots from the shotgun in the direction of the lights, the affidavit says.
Collins told deputies that he and his children eventually ended up running through a dense wooded area in the predawn darkness while trying to escape their pursuers.
At some point Judith screamed and Collins said he fired a shot in the direction of the noise, according to the affidavit.
He said he was standing about 10 feet away from Judith when he fired the shotgun.
The blast struck her in the back.
The affidavit says Collins knew he had killed his daughter, but says he and the other two children remained hidden in the woods until daylight.
Collins said he left the area at sunrise and went to the store, where he asked his father if any deputies had responded to his 911 call, but authorities say he did not tell his father about the shooting and did not call for an ambulance.
"There is a telephone at his home and a telephone at the store and at no time did he call for an ambulance or police," authorities said.
"He didn't talk with his mother about the shooting and didn't mention to his father that (the girl) was lying dead in a field across the highway," authorities said.
Collins' 17-year-old son led deputies to his sister's body in the wooded area beside a cultivated field at FM 933 and FM 1713 close to the family's store.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Judith Collins participated in one-act play, track and field, and choir at Whitney Middle School and would have entered Whitney High School this fall.

Hi all, after reviewing Villa's progress domestically and continentally the chairman has put his faith in the manager and current squad by announcing he will be taking no part in the winter transfer dealings of Aston Villa Football Club.
I thought i had 17 million in August, how come ive only got 1.7 now?
How can we batter two team and then get battered by wolves :/
Newcastle United Statement: Due to recent financial issues, the Chairmen Ben Peters is willing to listen to offers for all players, however he will not just accept players willy nilly, and it will take lucrative fees to recieve some players.
Leicester fan and William Hall please can you PM me as I am interested in some of your players please.
Leicester fan please clear out your inbox.
Toon I sent you a PM earlier.
Portsmouth have agreed in principle to sign Nacer Barazite and Craig Eastmond from Arsenal for £2.5 & £1.5 million respectively
Also Signed James O'Shea from Birmingham for £750k & Richard Stearman for £2 million

Blackburn chairman lcfc1, when asked about whether they would be spending in the transfer window, said hopefully, there are a couple of big named players we are looking into at the moment, these should help us push higher up the table, and will help bring attractive football for the fans to watch.
can i change my transfer budget to 0? thanks.
is my transfer budget nothing and my percentage nothing toon.
toon_balmy, just replied to your message, I was hoping to get at least one of them, but what the heck, maybe I will be lucker with the other two players!!!
anyone interested in any of my players. the players i have for sale are:

i will not sell them cheaply but will be open to reasonable offers.
Middlesbrough Press Conference
Middlesbrough chairman Rhys Cartwright has tonight announced the signing of 2 foreign players at the Riverside. Defensive midfielder Sebastien Kehl has arrived along with attacking midfielder Sergio Canales for a combined fee of around £14 million. After a very successful start to the season under new manager Laurent Blanc, Cartwright decided that to increase performances even more the midfield needed boosting after the rest of the team was improved during the summer.
He said "Kehl is an experienced international who will fit right into the team. Then we have Sergio Canales, an incredibly exciting young player who is tipped to go onto big things. We felt at £8million it was a bargain to good to pass up. We are sure he will create and score many goals for Middlesbrough and push us up the league and hopefully create a cup run in the FA Cup, after going out early in the League Cup."
He also added " We have been asking around the league for deals but after being told at pretty much every club that no deal could be struck for our targets we felt it be best to look abroad. We still have a few targets in the league, where contact hasn't been recipricated as of yet, but we are hopeful before the end of the window. We also want to get rid of quite a few players to bring the wage budget down and get the squad numbers down."
Portsmouth have signed Federico Fazio for £9million and Alex Smithies for £1.8 million from Sevilla and Huddersfield respectively.
Although the Pompy board had called time on their transfer dealing for the season, they thought that bothplayers represented excellent value for money and couldn't resist.
Greg Burrows was quoted as saying "these two could be the difference in us staying up this season, I am extremely happy with the squad and what Mattias is trying to do here"
everything is sorted and up to date well am off people later days and ill be on tomorrow afternoon or night depending what time i finish work ahaha
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is up for sale. Looking for a minimum bid of £7 million pounds.
Wolves news
New signings have been made by chairman jparok to aid wolves survival in the premiership. He will be bringing in cesar azpilicueta for 12M and Gojko Kacar for 10M.
West Ham have just signed cristian zapata for 15mn. Needless to say everyone associated with the club is going absolutely crazy.
UtdAJ, you interested in signing any of my players. If you are the players that i have for sale are on post 1578.
hmm been quiet this transfer window
well release some players
depends on how many years there contract is like say the old fogies who have 1 year left thats 5 month so thats them of your wage bill
Liverpool have signed pantellic 3m and suarez 21m. Liverpool chairman has stated that they are the only players he will bring in but may be willing to let ngog leave at the right price.

Blackburn have splashed the cash by bringing in 3 new faces, these are; Schweinsteiger, Pavlychenko & Taarabt, all three are eager to play for there new club, although this put the club in, more debt it hasn't put the chairman off from looking to bring in at least a couple more players.

I have Nikon D70s DSLR camera and i would like to modify it for NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) measurment. I am looking for the filter that can pass effectively RED and NIR band but block others. From the modified D70s (after installing new filter), I should be able to get RED and NIR as a separate bands of a image. I would like to get suggestions for the filter for my purpose. Thanks in advance.
NASA tells me that to capture NIR, you'll need a filter cutting at about 700nm, such as Hoya R70, Marumi 700HB or B+W 092 (that last one is actually 695nm). The diameter should be chosen the same as thread diameter of lens you're going to use (if there are several lenses, either get all different sizes, or the one with biggest diameter and step-up rings for smaller diameter lenses).
I'm not quite sure what was meant by this, but if you meant you'd like to capture NIR in one color channel and visible light in another, then unfortunately there's no filter that could do exactly that. It would require you to replace the Bayer filter on sensor, i.e. the microfilters on each sensel.
However, my experiences with a Olympus C-2020Z (known for its hot mirror doing a lousy job when blocking IR) with a Hoya R72 and tells me that IR affects all color channels. So when letting in red+IR, you'd have IR in blue/green channels and red visible light+IR in red channel. By subtracting average of other channels from red (perhaps multiplied by some factor found experimentally through testing with IR only), you'd get approximate value for visible light only.
I was in Valencia for the AgEng/CIGR 2012 conference where I saw a presentation about adapting a DSLR to do exactly this. The paper contains the details how to get the best possible Red/NIR colour space for NDVI and shows application of the results. You need to remove the ir cut filter and replace with a ~600nm long pass filter.
Then you do linear combinations of the the 3 colour bands. Their work base the calculations on actual measured spectral response curves, which you might not have the gear for. The result depends on the white balance but I have tried this technique without actually doing all this on a Basler ACA640-90GC camera. I got good result incorporating it into the bayer demosaiqueing, separating the NIR channel into the blue colour and red into the red colour and nullifying the green. The hard part is balancing the intensity balance of the two bands, since the response to NIR in the cmos is about 25%. I also found that the result is very sensitive to the bayer conversion algorithm. I found that Basler's SDK actually use nearest neighbor, which makes very bad NDVI images.
Example image - before and after converting to NDVI index:
And an example when using the Basler bayer conversion:
Newport.com, thorlabs.com, or edmundsoptics all sell longpass filters that can be used for you app.
It's been my experience that the NIR bandpass of the green and blue Bayer filters are almost the same ( less than 10 digital numbers difference at up to 90% of the sensors dynamic range). The red channel NIR bandpass is slightly smaller than the blue and green. But it's going to depend on the camera manufacturer.
You might also want to work with raw data images as the built in demosaicing process can create artifacts. NN demoaicing might not look the prettiest but it retains the trues spectral signal of the scene.

Everton battled hard against Man City and came away from the Etihad with a well earned point , it continued the impressive head to head record that David Moyes has had over Roberto Mancini ..only 1 loss in 7 league games against Man City . It was frustrating for David Moyes as he felt the penalty that allowed Man City to equalise was a bad decision .."The fourth official told me that it was given for a foul by Leon Osman, so I've got my doubts if the referee saw the incident. But even if it was Fellaini, it's not a penalty kick, nowhere near".
Tottenham enjoyed a 3-0 win over Fulham and moved to 4th in the table ...it was a frustrating day though for Gareth Bale who was booked for the second match running for diving ...and then had t limp off with a hamstring problem , manager Andre Vila-Boas though insisted Bale had been unfairly booked over the last few games .."He is now very near suspension for two unfair yellow cards and I think you gain a reputation for being a diver unfairly sometimes. This player has suffered a lot in his career."It's a little bit harsh on him."

WEIRTON - After working around in-ground obstacles they've encountered on ArcelorMittal property in the north end of Weirton, crews from James White Construction are days away from moving outside the mill's gates to address problems with the sewage line along old Main Street.
The near $6 million sewage upgrade involves laying about 4,700 lineal feet of gravity sewer to route sanitary flow from roughly 1,000 structures along Pennsylvania Avenue and nearby neighborhoods up old Main Street to the 5th Street Lift Station.
Phase II, still in the planning stages, would take the sanitary flow from the lift station through a new 16-inch main all the way to the Freedom Way treatment plant a little under six miles away, where it will be properly treated and then released into the Ohio River.
Crews have been working inside the mill's gates for the past month.
"They're within 200 feet of the front gate now," Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said. Barring any major downturns in weather conditions, "we anticipate them being in old Main Street within the next week or so" to work on line upgrades.
"There've been some unforeseen obstacles," he said. "But once they hit old Main Street, they should be able to make better time."
Mastrantoni said crews were "one or two manholes in" to the project when they encountered an underground obstacle. "But we re-engineered the project and were able to surmount that hurdle," he said.
The city had unknowingly been discharging treated but not sanitized fecal coliforms into the Ohio River through the lift station, which is on mill property. Abnormally high levels of the coliforms were detected in 2010 by ArcelorMittal crews in what was supposed to be industrial process water flowing into the Ohio River. Fecal levels always had been monitored by the company, but it wasn't until Arcelor began removing unneeded structures in the north end and the industrial runoff volumes diminished that officials realized the numbers were outside the norm.
Because they immediately self-reported the problems, the city was able to avoid fines, but it was put under a consent order to expeditiously redesign the system and correct the problems.
To finance Phase I, sewage rates jumped 66 cents to $3.61 per 1,000 gallons. For Phase II, the rates will go to $4.19 per 1,000 gallons.
Mastrantoni has said the city spent nearly $200,000 over the past three years to treat the discharges off-site.

For Once, Knicks Catch a Break
The Playoffs Set Up Perfectly for New York, Which Doesn't Have to Face Tough Opposing Point Guards
Things could hardly be better right now for the Knicks, who carried a 2-0 first-round series lead over the Boston Celtics after Tuesday's convincing victory at Madison Square Garden.
As a No. 2 seed, the Knicks theoretically own the Eastern Conference's second-easiest path to a championship. And despite having a treacherous set of teams on their side of the bracket—Boston, the Indiana Pacers and the Atlanta Hawks each possess top-10 defenses—the Knicks likely would be favored to advance to the Eastern finals regardless of who they face next round.
If the Knicks get that far, they would almost certainly benefit from a key factor: They wouldn't have to face a star point guard in the process.
For most teams, that might seem coincidental or insignificant. But for the Knicks—who were torched at times by point guards this season—this year's bracket breakdown is undoubtedly a boon.
Lateral quickness at the point isn't exactly a Knick strength. The Knicks allowed Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers to log 41 points in December, then Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors dropped 54 on them in February.
In between, there was a three-game stretch in January when opposing point guards logged a double-double (Brooklyn's Deron Williams), triple double (Boston's Rajon Rondo) and career-high 35 points (Philadelphia's Jrue Holiday) against the Knicks.
Of the five positions in basketball, the Knicks have allowed the most points, by far, to point guards. Opposing point guards averaged 22.6 points per game and accounted for 24% of their team's scoring this season when they played the Knicks, according to 82games.com. No other NBA team allowed a higher proportion of scoring to opposing point guards.
Because of that, the lack of point-guard talent in the Knicks' playoff bracket has already paid dividends for them. The Celtics—who have lacked a true point guard since losing Rondo, a perennial All-Star, to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in January—turned the ball over eight times in the fourth quarter alone against the Knicks in Game 1.
Boston finished with 20 turnovers, all but gift-wrapping the game for the Knicks, who won despite not playing well themselves.
"We turned the ball over a ton, and I thought our spacing was horrendous in the second half," said Boston coach Doc Rivers, citing a pair of problems that an elite, or even solid, point guard would eliminate.
If the Knicks get past the Celtics, they would meet either Indiana, which has George Hill, or Atlanta, led by Jeff Teague, in the second round. Both are decent players, but neither is seen as a game-changer like Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook or the Los Angeles Clippers' Chris Paul. And despite all of the talent in Miami—a team universally expected to storm through the Eastern playoffs—the Heat's lack of a traditional point guard is a reason why the Knicks went 3-1 against them this season.
The Knicks will take whatever help they can get this postseason, concerning their oft-troubled defense. Tyson Chandler, the league's defensive player of the year last season, hasn't looked himself in weeks because of a bulging disk in his neck. He played just 20 minutes in Game 1 before getting relief from backup Kenyon Martin.
Beyond that, the Knicks' defense, just 18th in terms of efficiency, wasn't strong from a historical standpoint.
Over the past 30 seasons, only six teams—Phoenix in 2009-10, Utah in 2008-09, the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks in 2000-01, Indiana in 1998-99 and Chicago in 1989-90—made the conference finals while ranking that low defensively. Only the Lakers won a title while doing so.
It certainly wouldn't hurt the Knicks' chances if they manage to steer clear of the sorts of players that they have struggled to defend all season.
"There are just so many [point guards] who can flat-out score in today's game," said Jason Kidd, who will go down as one of the most accomplished point guards of all time without ever having been considered a scorer. "Point guards aren't the way they used to be. They're way more athletic, and that makes them a little more challenging to defend sometimes."

The 10 Most Irritatingly Impossible Old-School Video Games
In the old days, you didn't come back to a game again and again for anything as fancy as online multiplayer or user-created content. No, you came back because the games were freaking impossible. That was the only way game designers of the Nintendo Entertainment System and SNES days could extend the play time: through mindless, frustrating repetition.
These are the 10 games so infuriating, their very mention makes the hairs stand up on the back of our necks.
#10. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
The premise:
A ludicrously undersized boxer makes his way through a swarm of opponents who use the unwise strategy of fighting with a distinctly repeating pattern. All of this is done for the chance to lose horribly to Mike Tyson.
Why it was worth playing:
The first-person boxing was unique in 1987 (actually, how often have you seen it since?), unless you count the arcade version of the same game. It was genuinely fun trying to crack the various exotic underlings that stood between you and the champ. And, after a tough day, there was something deeply satisfying about mercilessly pounding upon hapless Glass Joe, who always seemed to be in the ring against his will.
Look at him, it's like he thinks there's a guy out in the audience with a rifle on him.
Also, in an era when other sports games were occupied by generic placeholders (not even team logos were represented), Tyson's celebrity endorsement was pretty cool. Seeing that crazy bastard step into the ring as the final boss really meant something.
Why it was infuriating:
While the early opponents were sometimes challenging, you could still find their weakness (hmmm ... that inconspicuous 'X' on his stomach, perhaps), and after that it was just a matter of timing your punches.
But, when you finally made it to Tyson (or "Mr. Dream" if you bought the game after Tyson's title defeat to Buster Douglas), no amount of Rocky-inspired runs through the city were going to save you. Mac's punches have about as much effect on the champ as a stiff breeze, which doesn't stack up well against his ability to send your teeth flying with little more than a mean thought.
Basically you had to withstand a series of withering blows from Tyson, dodging each with perfect precision (if any of his punches landed, you were done) while waiting for a window of opportunity about a quarter-second long to strike back.
Saddest moment:
Watching Mac crash to the mat following a thunderous right hook by Tyson and knowing that it was time for him to "fuck you 'til you love it." Then, realizing that to get back there you have to box every fucking one of those guys again. No saves in this game, boys and girls.
#9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The premise:
That wacky Shredder is out to ruin everybody's day and cause some good ol' fashioned chaos again, and only a group of hideous, sewer-dwelling monstrosities are there to stop him.
Why it was worth playing:
In 1989, every young boy in America was legally obligated to spend at least two hours a day pretending to be one of the Turtles, and another two arguing with friends over which one was superior (Leonardo, in case you're wondering). It was the first chance to play as the gang in a video game and, at that age, it seemed pretty awesome. Also, the enemies appeared randomly each time, so no level played the same way twice (why doesn't every game do that?).
Why it was infuriating:
The game had some general weaknesses. The fun beat-'em-up platform was interrupted by annoying surface levels, and the ridiculously unequal weapon strengths made playing as anyone other than "I can kill from across the room" Donatello seem like a waste of time. You didn't get to choose, though, you just rotated through the Turtles as they died. All of this might have been overcome by the sheer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-ness of it all, if not for one stage: The Dam.
The Dam level required you to try to beat the clock through a sprawling maze in order to defuse the bombs, which were prepared to unleash the fury of the Hudson River. See that pink seaweed shit? The stuff with an opening barely big enough for a mutated turtle to pass through? It killed you. It was ... electrified somehow. The science in the game wasn't all that accurate.
Setting aside the terrible example this set forth of telling kids the Hudson was safe to look at, let alone swim in, the failure to defuse the bombs resulted in an immediate game over, no matter how many Turtles were still alive. The margin for error was about one pixel wide and half a second long.
Saddest moment:
While it would be easy to pick on The Dam some more, we're going to have to go with the first time you make the mistake of running into one of the foot soldiers' rides while walking on the top level. You learn it doesn't just hurt you, it fucking flattens you.
Next Turtle, please.
#8. Mega Man
The premise:
Mega Man is a world-saving robot bent on destroying evildoers. Also, he consumes their souls so he can absorb their powers.
Why it was worth playing:
Mega Man is also one of the most popular video game characters ever created. It was one of the first games to include the method of "winning" new weapons and abilities as the game progressed. Nearly all of the game-play mechanics that would define the series were found here, in the original game.
Why it was infuriating:
We said "nearly" all of the game play was there. A whole lot of the features you saw in the sequels were put there to make the game easier, because the first one was nothing short of sadistic. Many of the cool upgrades were often borderline useless outside of one specific boss they were designed to be used against. Also, some of the jumping puzzles were downright evil.
And, as is unthinkable now but was common then, you couldn't save. Every time you turned on the machine, you were greeted with the same fucking levels, which made failure a hundred times more infuriating. Every misstep meant you were about to lose a couple more hours out of your life.
Saddest moment:
As aggravating as the game could be to play, there is no more embarrassing moment in a gamer's life than the time he has to put cold hard cash on the desk, point to this game box ...
... and say, "I want that. That is right up my alley."
#7. Solomon's Key
The premise:
Demons have been accidentally let loose, and it's up to Dana to delve through a series of puzzle rooms to retrieve Solomon's Key in order to banish the demons back from whence they came, allowing the locals to return to their happy lives of magically floating blocks and goofy clothes.
Why it was worth playing:
At its heart, this is basically a puzzle game, where a lot of the challenge was in moving and creating colored blocks. That sounds boring as hell, but there was a real sense of reward for solving the puzzles. This made us feel smart and dulled the sense of inadequacy we felt on a day-to-day basis. There were also lots of secrets to uncover, including multiple endings. It was advanced stuff, for the time.
Why it was infuriating:
The makers of Solomon's Key were clearly Satanists. They seemed determined to make sure the key would remain safely away from Dana's clutches, and to ensure the demons would be left free to pillage and rain destruction upon the quivering, pixilated masses. Dana is far from the world's toughest gaming hero and always seemed moments away from death. Meanwhile, his opponents often enjoyed the luxury of unlimited re-spawning.
The levels (and there were more than 60 of the bastards) were often designed so that it was entirely possible to, through bad luck, get trapped in the level with no ability to progress. You were left to commit Hara-Kiri or wait for the final cruelty to take over when Dana's timer ran out. Just like the real world, kids!
Saddest moment:
Retrieving the key, only to be told you had failed to open up all 15 hidden levels, and as such, hadn't truly defeated the game. We're not sure how many million copies of the game were sold, but we're guessing about five people in the history of the world have seen the "real" ending.
#6. (Super) Empire Strikes Back
The premise:
There were some sci-fi films made in the '70s and '80s called the Star Wars trilogy (Google it; they had the actor from Firewall in them). This game was based on the second, and best, of those films.
Why it was worth playing:
This came out on two systems at the same time in 1993, the NES and the Super NES. Both had multiple game-play styles and included settings from the films.
The SNES version (right) looked less like shit.
But, both versions were as hard as brass balls.
Why it was infuriating:
When sitting in the theaters for Empire, we can only assume the designers were intently ogling their tub of popcorn and not the screen, as they left the theaters with the impression that Luke Skywalker was incapable of functioning as a member of society, let alone as a universe-saving demi-God. The game presents you with awkward controls and requires you to find force powers. All this means it takes a massive effort just to get Luke to kill that stupid probe droid.
By 1993, gaming had advanced to the point where long-ass levels were the norm, but the whole concept of a "checkpoint" had eluded this game's creators. If you died--even at the boss--you had to drag your sorry ass all the way through entire level again.
In the end, though, the sheer impossibility of the game's design may have prevented substantial property damage by Star Wars fans. If they'd progressed, they'd have reached the part where (in the NES version) Luke rescues Han, kills Boba Fett, and, in an act of Star Wars blasphemy, defeats Darth Vader in a light saber duel. We aren't making that up.
They never brought out a Return of the Jedi game for the NES. Well, we're thinking that's why. The Empire game fucked up the storyline to the point that there was nothing for a Jedi to return from.
Saddest moment:
Discovering that crouching allows Luke to put a little extra into his jumps, and realizing that the once-menacing star pilot has been reduced to nothing better than a platform-hopping, overweight plumber.

Pondering What's Next For 'Money' Mayweather
After a near-flawless performance Saturday night against the formidable Robert Guerrero, a tired but unscathed Floyd Mayweather Jr. just wanted to go home. Of his next fight, he said, "I'm not even thinking about it." But the rest of us are.
The date figures to be Sept. 14. Mayweather, 36, badly bruised his right hand on Guerrero's hard cranium during his unanimous-decision victory, but he is emphatic that he will be back in the ring again then.
Boxing fans hope his next opponent will be undisputed super-welterweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1). The 22-year-old heartthrob of a fighter is easily the most popular pugilist in boxing-crazy Mexico. Alvarez has technique, speed and power, and he is coming off an impressive victory over Austin Trout.
On the south side of his career, 34-year-old Manny Pacquiao returns to the fray in October. Putting aside the seemingly intractable conflicts between Top Rank and Mayweather's co-promoter, Golden Boy, there remains a shred of hope that these two will one day clash.
Others on the shortlist might be Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan, Andre Berto, Gennady Golovkin, Sergio Martinez and perhaps, somewhere down the line, a bulked up Adrian Broner.

Nets' Carlesimo Is Out
The Brooklyn Nets moved quickly Sunday to confirm the obvious: Interim coach P.J. Carlesimo won't be back.
In the wake of their Game 7 first-round loss Saturday to the Chicago Bulls, the Nets said "a search for a new head coach will commence immediately."
Carlesimo (below), who replaced the fired Avery Johnson in December, led the Nets to a 35-19 record in the final 54 games of the season and their first postseason berth since 2007. But it ended in a hugely disappointing loss to a depleted Bulls team.

"This credential is particularly valuable to hand surgeons who may choose not to refer a patient to a "generalist" Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist. It represents a suitable knowledge base and skill to treat complex hand injuries," Kimberly said.
According to the Hand Therapy Certification Commission, an occupational therapist or physical therapist has to have a minimum of five years of clinical experience, including 4,000 hours or more in direct practice in hand therapy in order to become a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT).
"It's a necessary qualification that can help to elevate you as a practitioner above a generalist," said Kimberly.
In addition, the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) has to pass an extensive exam of advanced clinical skills and theory in upper quarter rehabilitation. Because the profession changes frequently all certified hand therapists are required to recertify every five years.
Pictured Above: When Kimberly isn't treating patients, she's mountain biking in the gorge.
Kimberly's inspiration to become a hand therapist is grounded in helping people regain their independence or return to a specific activity.
"We are dependent on, and take for granted, good hand function. This includes everyday tasks such as eating and dressing, to more complex tool use such as sports, and work," Kimberley said.
Patients with hand injuries consistently want to regain independence and want to be able to care for themselves.
"The loss of independence is a huge eye-opener and the cause of a lot of frustration. I like helping people regain their independence and I also like to geek out on the underlying science that makes it possible," Kimberly said.

Press Release: STC Certification Commission Announces the First Certified Professional Technical Communicator Certification Recipients
Rosemont, IL, 20 May 2012 —The Society for Technical Communication Certification Commission (STCCC) announced the names of the first practitioners to earn the Certified Professional Technical Communicator (CPTC)™ certification at the Society for Technical Communication (STC) Summit in Rosemont today. The first recipients are Beth Agnew, Judy Agraz, Carrie Chambers, Stephen Daugherty, Meredith Kinder, Michael Opsteegh, Cheryl Taylor and Michele Wallace.
Launched by the STC Certification Commission in April, 2010, the CPTC™ certification program is designed to certify qualified practitioners after an assessment of their knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in technical communication. The CPTC™ certification is the first professional credential available for technical communicators working for the North American market. "This is an important achievement not only for our first certificants, but for the profession as a whole," said Steven Jong, Chairman of the commission. "The CPTC™ certification elevates the profession by establishing global performance standards and increasing respect and recognition."
As the immediate beneficiaries, technical communicators can advance their career with the CPTC™ certification. "It will elevate the respect I receive at my company and with my manager and prove to potential future employers that I am a successful professional communicator," said Carrie Chambers, the Director of Documentation at Eyefinity in Irvine, CA. Specifically, the CPTC™ credential will help the practitioners:
- Increase their professional credibility, expand their skill sets, and enhance their résumés;
- Distinguish themselves from their peers, giving practitioners the edge they need to stand out to employers skimming dozens of résumés; and
- Show current and prospective employers their value, demonstrating they have the most up-to-date skills and knowledge in the technical communication field as well as their commitment and passion about their profession.
"This CPTC™ certification offers employers greater assurance that their employees have the knowledge and skills to handle complex technical communication projects from the planning stage through completion," Jong said. "It also helps to reduce hiring risk because the CPTC™ credential holders are dedicated to the field and committed to professional development not only today but for the rest of their careers. And these are the very kind of professionals that employers are looking for in today's competitive job market."
In fact, most of the first recipients applied for the CPTC™ credential with their employers' support. "The company where I work is an advocate for continuing education and building up existing team members, so when I presented the CPTC™ program to them, they were absolutely 100 percent on board. When I learned that I had earned my credential, they made a big announcement," said Michelle Wallace, who was promoted from "Senior Technical Writer" to "Technical Writing Supervisor" at AMN Healthcare in San Diego, CA, after obtaining the CPTC™ certification.
The CPTC™ certification program is open to technical communicators who meet eligibility requirements based on their education and experience. More information about the CPTC™ credential and the STC Certification Commission can be found at stccert.org.
About The Society for Technical Communication Certification Commission (STCCC):
The Society for Technical Communication Certification Commission (STCCC) is an independent certifying agency that administers the Certified Professional Technical Communicator (CPTC)™ credentialing program. For more information, please visit stccert.org.
About the CPTC™ certification program:
Administered by the STC Certification Commission, the CPTC™ credential assures employers and the public that certified practitioners possess the knowledge, skill and ability needed to meet the demands of complex technical communication projects from the planning stage through completion. CPTC™-certified practitioners have demonstrated that they have the most up-to-date skills in the industry. For more information, please visit stccert.org.

Well, it really depends on your office environment. For example, do you have your own office where no one can see you or are you in a cubicle?
If your office culture is ok with you taking a nap, then simply put your head down on your desk. According to research, the nap should only be 15-20 mins between 1-3pm.
If naps are frowned upon, then you can take a nap in your car. You may have to drive a bit and park your car where you won't be seen.
An alternative is to use other methods to re-energize yourself. Taking a walk or drinking water may help. More tricks can be found here.
I take a nap at work several days a week. Usually I lie on the floor, sometimes just rest my head on the desk.

"So glad I bought these"
By Svelte Cat from New Hampshire
I only wish I had replaced my old shades sooner. Every time I raise and lower my new Blinds Galore shades, they function easily and flawlessly. I had put up with old dirty shades that didnt lower or stay level at the top. These shades look great both for the quality of light passing through them and for the color of the fabric you see. The prices were better than what I could get at the local box store. Measuring and installing were both easy. I was nervous to the the dimensions right but they have good instructions.View this product
"Great Product!"
By QuiltyGirl from Sioux Falls, SD
These blinds were of equal quality to those being sold locally for over $250 more. And they were super easy to install! I'm a big fan! Thanks for the super product.View this product

For a U.S. citizen who is travelling in Europe and wants to fly from Europe to China, what is the recommended way to obtain a Chinese visa?
The Chinese Emabassy in the UK site refers visa applications to the Chinese Visa Application Service Center. According to this site, they have locations in London, Manchester, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, The Hague, Brussels, Paris, Marseilles, Milan, Rome and Madrid.
The terms of their online application state that applicants must be a citizen or resident of the country where the application is made.
However, you may be able to make an application in person at one of these locations or at a Chinese embassy or consulate in Europe. As others have reported success doing this.
You can also send it back to an agent in the US, such as US-China Chamber of Commerce to do the visa as long as your passport shows that you are not inside China, i.e., exit stamps.
Using a reliable agent will eliminate a lot of uncertainties, and you do not need to take days off. Also, in theory, you are supposed to get the visa from a Consulate in the country which you come from though US citizens do get visas outside the US. However, you need to take the shipping cost into consideration.
This could cost between US$60 and US$100.

The Cost Reduction Task Force, which authored the report, found that carbon capture and storage technology could be a viable option for the UK government in meeting its carbon reduction targets. The report estimated that CCS technology could soon generate electricity at a breakeven cost.
By CASSIE WERBER
LONDON -- Technology that traps and stores the
carbon generated by burning fossil
fuels could become cheaper and make it competitive with
renewable technology, a UK
government-sponsored report showed Thursday.
The Cost Reduction Task Force, which authored the report,
found that carbon capture and storage
technology could be a viable option for the UK government in
meeting its carbon reduction targets.
The report estimated that CCS technology could generate
electricity at a breakeven cost approaching GBP100 a megawatt
hour by the early 2020s, and significantly below that
The UK is aiming for an 80% reduction in its greenhouse gas
emissions by 2050. To do this, it
will need to replace much of the current power-generation
fleet, which relies heavily on coal and gas, with nuclear, wind
and other renewables.
CSS may be cost-effective as part of the mix if its price
falls, the report says.
However, the report said there are several factors,
including commitment from government, the building of CCS facilities and financing, that will
have to be in place for CCS to become a viable option.

Can I have a copy of the report or get a link to download the report? It'll be great help to know in detail about CCS?I think it is an important step on green house gas emission reduction. But the problem is storing ! it looks the best idea is to convert the CO2 and water vapor to methanolIs it good idea to replace the present fossil fuled plant wit Nuclear?

This Technology is going to be future's demanding one. Due to the global warming and the CO emissions control, this Technology will going to play a major role.Already a project has initiated in Middle East for EOR.

"CCS" technology should strive at getting the S out of CCS. It is of utmost importance to develop technologies that can convert CO2 and water vapour into methane, other hydrocarbon fuels or petrochemical feedstock using solar energy applied in high temperature concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. There are technologies in the development stage that promise to convert solar energy to chemical energy with an efficiency of 30- 35 [%]. This figure means that for a SNG production rate of 1 [GNm3/a] (1 Bcm/yr) in hot desert of hot semi-desert regions, a gross solar production field sized a "mere" 8 [km2] is required. Compare this to a more then 100 fold area demand in case of biological ways of capturing solar energy (for instance based on wood and even algae as feedstocks). Once the CSP technology would be technically and economically mature, power production, transport and distribution infrastructure could remain unaltered. The storage problem of sustainable energy would be solved.

I know it's likely that, given a finite sequence of digits, one can find that sequence in the digits of pi, but is there a proof that this is possible for all finite sequences? Or is it just very probable?
closed as no longer relevant by Felipe Voloch, Lee Mosher, Neil Strickland, Dmitri Pavlov, Douglas Zare May 29 '13 at 15:09
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This article contains the following statements.
Edit: We seem to have lost Gerald Edgar's comment on another answer, which pointed out that the normality property implies but is not equivalent to the property of containing every finite sequence as a substring. For example, consider the sequence enumerating all possible finite strings, separated by increasingly huge oceans of zeros.
Numbers with this property belong to the set of normal numbers. All known normal numbers are "constructed"; it is not known whether a single "natural" number (square roots of nonsquares, pi, e, logarithms of integers $> 1$) is normal or not. It is believed, however, that these numbers are in fact normal (even independently from the chosen base), and thus have the desired property.
This is an expansion for Pi in base 16 numeric system:
$$\pi = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{16^k} \left( \frac{4}{8k + 1} - \frac{2}{8k + 4} - \frac{1}{8k + 5} - \frac{1}{8k + 6} \right)$$
So to get k-th digit you have to get one term and take account for possible translation from a neighboring digit.
Thus to find the number of digit from which starts your arbitrary sequence, you should to solve a system of equations about the particular digits:
$$\frac{1}{16^k} \left( \frac{4}{8k + 1} - \frac{2}{8k + 4} - \frac{1}{8k + 5} - \frac{1}{8k + 6}\right)=a_1$$ $$\frac{1}{16^{k+1}} \left( \frac{4}{8(k+1) + 1} - \frac{2}{8(k+1) + 4} - \frac{1}{8(k+1) + 5} - \frac{1}{8(k+1) + 6}\right)=a_2$$ $$\frac{1}{16^{k+2}} \left( \frac{4}{8(k+2) + 1} - \frac{2}{8(k+2) + 4} - \frac{1}{8(k+2) + 5} - \frac{1}{8(k+2) + 6}\right)=a_3$$
etc. The numbers $a_k$ are unique for any sequence you are searching for.
If the system has no solution, it is likely that your sequence does not appear in the sequence of digits of Pi.
