RIAA Eyes Next Possible Targets: CD Burners, Radio Listeners

The RIAA's recent case and a pending case in the UK provide some insight into whom it might prosecute next
The Recording Industry Association of America is the oft villainized copyright-infringement watchdog for the music industry in the U.S. Its letters to music sharers have led to thousands of settlement over the last few years. Now, following its
recent success
in the jury civil trial
Capitol Records, et al v. Jammie Thomas
, which resulted in a jury verdict of $222,000 in damages, many wonder who the RIAA might target next.
The RIAA might have given a clue during testimony by music industry lawyers in the
case. During the case Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, was called to testify. Pariser noted that music labels make no money on bands touring, radio, or merchandise, so they are particularly vulnerable to file sharing. She went on to say that when people steal music the label is harmed.
Pariser believes in a very broad definition of stealing that is echoed by many supporters in the RIAA. She believes that users who buy songs are entitled to one, and only one copy. Burning CDs is just another name for stealing, in her mind. "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'."
Such logic has been a driving force behind efforts to "rights manage" music including the current DRM found on Apple's iTunes files and Microsoft's DRM, which is also widespread.
While it seems unlikely that the RIAA would be able to effectively identify "burners", such litigation remains a legal possibility for the RIAA and major music labels, in the minds of their lawyers.
Another possible avenue of legal action for the RIAA is the pursuit of businesses that play unauthorized music in stores. The Performing Rights Society (PRS), Britain's version of the RIAA, may give the RIAA some possible ideas
with its pending litigation
. The PRS is suing the Kwik Fit Group, a car repair shop in Edinburgh, for £200,000 in damages. The case revolves around the complaint that Kwik Fit employees brought in personal radios which they played while working on cars, which could be heard by colleagues and customers. The PRS says this amounts to a public "performance" and should have entailed royalties.
The possible implications if this litigation succeeds are numerous. The RIAA could pursue retailers like Borders Books who play music in their restrooms or on their store floors. They could also seek action against small businesses that have radios in their stores.
These possible future targets may seem outlandish or farfetched, but the RIAA and its foreign equivalents have some heavy legal firepower. It hires many of the country's top lawyers and have gained millions in settlements and recently have added the $222,000
verdict to its coffers.
Some fear the RIAA is overstepping its bounds, including in the
case. Rep. Rick Boucher, a Virginia Democrat, and strong advocate of fair use, recently
went on record
stating that the trial verdict was excessive and "way out of line" with other cases of this nature.
The Bush Administration feels that the case was very fair and was a
positive example of our nation's laws at work
"Cases such as this remind us strong enforcement is a significant part of the effort to eliminate piracy, and that we have an effective legal system in the U.S. that enables rights holders to protect their intellectual property."
With the RIAA's powerful legal, financial, and political backers nobody can truly say what it impossible for it to accomplish. Now as it is in the midst of delivering its
eighth wave of infringement letters
to colleges, it may soon be turning its attention to CD burners or businesses that play music in front of customers.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

One night. That's all it took. But she'd never tell him. Because he was living his dream. And she was at home raising her daughter. Their daughter. "So Harry, do you want kids?" the interviewer pressed, hoping to unlock a new rumor. Harry shrugged, pinning his bottom lip between his thumb and index finger. "Yeah, eventually." Ari let out a little squeal, almost as if she were pleased with his answer. "Daddy!" she called, turning to laugh at me. "Ari, shh!" I tried hushing her, but it was too late. the band turned to face us, Ari began waving. I guess my shield behind the curtain wouldn't work after all. Harry's face went white, eyes wide and he stood up, storming out of the interview, leaving the rest of the boys to stare at us in curiosity

Ok, so, I got an overwhelming response to my last thread (no one replied ) and thought I'd try my luck again, allow me to explain..
My last thread, I realize, didnt really ask any specific questions or identify any specific problems I have so I figured I'd try again, this time asking a specific question about the wep_crack program (or script, I dont really know the difference) because I decided to try something different...
I tried using wep_crack since my card doesnt inject (I don't think) and I didnt have a wordlist handy so I just used a -b attack on my Kismet dump file to see what I could get.. The thing is, I live in an appartment complex and there are lots of routers around, not just mine, and the output I got was this:
So I don't know what to make of this. What does it mean? Why do I have 4 keys? None of them are my key so who's keys are they and how do I find out which network they belong to? Also, did it really guess someone's key in 1.34 seconds? If so, why do people bother with the packet injection and all that stuff? 1.34 seconds is MUCH faster than you can get with the aircrack suite!Code:bt wep_tools # ./wep_crack -b /root/Kismet-Nov-05-2007-1.dump success: seed 0x001a1009, [generated by aaaahq{a] wep key 1: 35 71 00 be b9 wep key 2: d9 32 28 b2 84 wep key 3: ac 8a 5d 4f 26 wep key 4: ca d8 6e 55 d5 428042 guesses in 1.34 seconds: 320210.95 guesses/second
One final question; how do I make it select ONLY my network to crack? I know there's a -n option and it says that's the "network number" but I dont know what that means, how do I know which number my network is?
Thanks in advance, I hope someone answers this time!!
P.s. If anyone's wondering about my 2gb flash drive, i fixed that too, I downloaded gparted (only 50mb?! Awesome!) and it BLEW partition magic out of the water, it really did, it is a fantastic tool and it fixed it right up..

COLTON -- A Chino prison corrections officer, who police believe was shot in the head by former inmate at that prison, remained in intensive care at a hospital Monday, but police say his condition has improved.
The 52-year-old California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officer - whose name has not been released - was recovering in the Intensive Care Unit at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where he was in critical condition Friday.
"I would say it's an upgrade," said Colton police Detective Ray Mendez.
Police plan to submit their investigative report today to the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office for consideration of criminal charges.
The suspects - Christopher Marquez, 24, and Anthony Gomez Jr. 31, both of Riverside - have been behind bars since Friday on suspicion of attempted murder and conspiracy and are scheduled to be arraigned today in San Bernardino Superior Court.
The officer was pumping gas at a Shell gas station in the 2700 block of Iowa Avenue in Colton shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday when he was shot. Colton police officers arrived and rushed the man into their patrol car to the hospital before paramedics arrived.
Authorities have attributed that action to saving his life.
Riverside police captured the suspects about three hours later in Riverside.
A motive in the shooting was not released by police, and state officials have declined to comment on whether the officer knew the suspects through his job at California Institution for Men, where Gomez was housed during his prison term.
Court records show that Gomez was sentenced to 11 years in Chino in 2001 for a robbery and assault with a deadly weapon that occurred in July 2000.
The judge ordered him sent to the Chino prison, but he was released on parole in March 2012. His parole ended in March of this year.
State officials declined to identify the officer for his protection.

February 2013 — GAO's Comments on the Latest Round of Recipient Reporting
What GAO Found
GAO's analysis of the reporting period covering the quarter beginning October 1, 2012, and ending December 31, 2012, indicated that the data quality remains relatively stable. GAO found that generally this round's results were similar to those we observed in previous rounds. There were minor variations in the number or percent of reports appearing atypical or showing some form of data discrepancy. That number continues to remain small.
According to the data for the quarter ending December 31, 2012, and available on www.Recovery.gov on January 31, 2013, recipients reported that the Recovery Act funded approximately 114,000 full-time equivalent jobs during the quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, the total number of prime recipients who reported across multiple programs was down from about 30,400 to about 25,000 awards, as recipients continue to complete projects funded with Recovery Act funds. Consistent with previous rounds, almost 20 percent of recipients identified their reports as their final report, continuing the trend we have seen in the last 6 rounds of at least 10 percent of recipients identifying the report as their final report for a project.
What GAO DidBack to top
To meet its mandate to comment on Recovery Act recipient reports, GAO continued monitoring data that recipients reported, including data on jobs funded. Analyzing these data can help in improving the accuracy and completeness of the Recovery.gov data and in planning analyses of recipient reports. Using the data from the fourteenth round of recipient reporting, GAO performed work to monitor errors or potential problems by repeating many of the analyses and edit checks done in earlier rounds. This work included checking data logic and consistency, and reviewing any unusual or atypical data. The analysis was performed on data that became available on January 31, 2013, from the fourteenth round as well as from previous quarters, starting with the period ending March 31, 2012 through the quarter ending December 31, 2012. Recipients report full-time equivalent jobs (FTEs) that, in accordance with OMB guidance, include hours worked and paid for with Recovery Act funding. FTEs do not include the employment impact on suppliers of materials (i.e., indirect jobs) or on the local communities (i.e., induced jobs). FTEs are for a single quarter only and are not cumulative.

Not perfect but a keeper
By Weaving Woman
from Port Angeles, WA
My first tree didn't work. I waited weeks to get another plug-in to try but it didn't go in all the way either. Then I had to have another whole tree sent 2nd day to have in time for Christmas. That tree however worked perfectly. The music is rather harsh and somewhat speeded up. I guess if you want a wonderful music box then that is what you have to focus on buying. But it is pretty and fun to watch. It will be a centerpiece of my Christmas decorations for years to come!

Kinkade Animated Christmas Tree
By Pat and Ben
from Satellite Beach, FL
This item arrived, well packed, in excellent condition. It is just charming, so Christmasy. Santa and all 8 reindeer fly about the top of the tree, 3 moving trains, in opposite directions, move about the branches with a 4th stationery train near the Santa. Lots of glitter on the snow covered rooftops and branches, all different house types and people around the tree branches. It's a lovely wonderland made even more charming by the 8 different Christmas carols that play. At night one can see several lights on the tree as well as in some houses. Everything works smoothly and beautifully, well worth the price.
A mixed blessing
By Discouraged
from New York
This was sent to a dear friend who recently had hip replacement and was unable to decorate for the Christmas holiday. Thought it would bring a touch of holiday cheer to brighten her spirits.Imagine my dismay when I received a call thanking me for my thoughtfullness but the gift was broken. Santa didn't turn, trains didn't run and village windows would not light up.Yes, it was sent back and a replacement sent that seemed to work fine but it was anticlimatic as Christmas was over and it didn't even make sense to take it out of the box.Hopefully it will work fine and can be enjoyed next year.

UPDATED, one last time before midnight.
Street art's symbiotic relationship with the Web makes you wonder whether the genre's broad popularity stems from the fact that its characteristic features—swift execution, quicksilver response to pop culture and politics, the dominance of quotation and commentary, snarky attitude, fragmented statements embedded in the world rather than meant to stand apart from it—actually reflect the way that plugged-in people process information, more so than "traditional" art. There is something particularly contemporary about street art's whole M.O., in this sense.

You know what? He's not necessarily wrong. Do we REALLY need all this information? Like, right now—you're reading this column and hopefully enjoying it, but ultimately, could you have survived the weekend if you missed it? I say yes. Just about everything online fits that mold—you have to sift through loads of bad writing and irrelevant information to find the occasional entertaining/funny/interesting thing, and even then, it's not something that's making or breaking your week. Ever been on a vacation and had little-to-no Internet access that week? You survived, right? Maybe the big Russian is on to something.

Candy reminds us of the postmodern notion of self-creation—the way we don social signifiers with the same ease as clothing, constructing our selves bit by bit from cultural cues and images. Rather than the solid frameworks we cast them as, our selves are more like sweaters we put on and take off. When it comes to social identity, we're all a wee bit in drag.

Hi, I have the same problem with the Alfa AWUS036NEH.
Is there already a solution to this problem?
Thanks for your help!
although that this is my first post I have a big Problem.
A while ago i bought the. You can find informations about it here.
Al over the net it is written that it has a RT3070 chip inside. When I put it into my PC, it is a sun virtual box machine with back track 4 final, It is recognized and loaded properly with the backtrack built in rt3070sta.ko driver from "/lib/modules/18.104.22.168/kernel/drivers/net/wireless". when I fire the device (ra0) up every thing is working fine. The stick recognizes about 8 Accespoints.
The first thing, which is mysterious to me is that it has a noise level of -159Db. On the Net I found two people which said two different things about these number. the one said it is a good to have this value so "high" and the other person said this is the last values you can connect the hotspot, if it is "higher" the connection will get lost. This is what I don´t understand. Who's right?
When i type iwconfig output is:
<... Cut some out ...>
And there is nowere a rt2870.Code:ra0 RT2870 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:"" Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:-143 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Why does it say RT2870? I thought this is a complete other driver! and when I do lsmod it says: Module Size Used by rt3070sta 509260 0 <...>
When I type Airmon-ng start ra0 it says:
What this programm sasy is the third meaning about the Wlan chip. Now it is a Ralink 2560 and has a rt2500 driver?!Code:Interface Chipset Driver ra0 Ralink 2560 PCI rt2500 (monitor mode enabled)

PetSmart, Inc. reported earnings of $0.85 per share, up 39% compared to $0.61 per share in the first quarter of 2011. Net income totaled $95 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $71 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Total sales for the first quarter of 2012 increased 9.4% to $1.6 billion. The increase in net sales was partially impacted by $2 million in unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Comparable store sales, or sales in stores open at least a year, grew 7.4%, benefitting from comparable transactions growth of 3.3%. Services sales, which are included in total sales, grew 8.3% to $181 million.
During the first quarter, the company generated $150 million in operating cash flow, spent $36 million in capital expenditures, distributed $15 million in dividends, and repurchased $175 million of PetSmart stock. The company ended the quarter with $341 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and zero borrowings on its credit facility.
"We are pleased to report another quarter of solid earnings growth," said Bob Moran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our performance in the first quarter was due to strength across all three merchandising categories, as well as across services, further solidifying our position as the leading pet specialty retailer."
"As a reminder, 2012 contains a 53rd week. For all of 2012, we anticipate comparable store sales growth in the mid-single digit range, and total sales growth in the 9% to 10% range. We are raising our earnings per share guidance from a previous range of $3.02 to $3.16, to our current expectations of $3.19 to $3.31. The impact of the extra week is estimated to be $120 million in sales and $0.16 in EPS," said Chip Molloy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "For the second quarter of 2012, we are expecting comparable store sales growth in the mid-single digit range, and earnings per share between $0.61 to $0.65."

hey guys,
i got problem with my laptop (toshiba nb205) running backtrack 4 r2. (new installation)
this is always hang when i leave it idle more than 2 minute.
i think it will going to standby mode, but may something wrong with the setting, or something else, but what is that i don't know
so please anyone can help me how to figure it out.
many thanks

Hi everyone, I'd like start introducing myself I'm terribly sorry if this is a double post, yet I couldn't find anything relating to this netbook based on 'backtrack 4'. I have just recently seen the basics of Backtracks capability and willing to start from fresh by basics. I'd like someone to verify that this netbook works 'out the box'. I've yet have no experience in UNIX os as well as Backtrack, hopefully I'm looking forward to buy this laptop hopefully if we get a good result and will start learning Backtrack.
I've seen this eeepc really interesting, these are the specifications shown below:
CPU & Chipset: Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz + ION2
Memory: DDR3 2GB
Wireless: 802.11b/g/n Bluetooth 3.0 + HS
Display: Glare 12.1" WXGA(1366x768)
Hybrid Storage: 250GB HDD
Graphics Card: NVIDIA ION 2 with Optimus technology
Battery: 6 cells 5200mAh 57W/h (up to 7hrs)
Input: HDMI port + VGA Port
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
(I've heard there are different models and they additionally have):
Input: 2 x USB 3.0 ports
Input: USB 2.0 Sleepn'Charge port
only for $500~
All I just want to know if this netbook works well with injecting and monitoring, because I've heard laptops/netbooks have issues running on this os, and yet there will be further actions that will be taken for patch and drivers I suppose.
I'm just trying to get myself ready, anyone that can lead me to what I need to know. The things I really want to know is:
*How to install drivers (do i need to compile it my own?)
*How to configure (tune & adjust)
*If I have problem with the laptop (Wireless/system not detecting or not injecting, is there another option the USB Wireless Dongle?)
if anyone could briefly state those I would be really appreciated, and would motivate me for more interest. Thank you.
Thank you again, I will try my best to use the search tool and google believe me I couldn't find anything relating to backtrack 4 for this netbook.

Now, in Perl or PHP, OOP is nothing more than having subroutines and variables separated into a different file (or module). I really don't see the point of declaring a package or class in Perl and PHP respectively.
The only difference I see is that the methods can access attributes declared outside the methods itself and within the class or package. But besides this, I don't see any benefits of using OOP.
Maybe someone can quote me with a few examples? You don't have to quote complex ones like databases. Just a simple example like the classic "hello world" will do.
Many people told me that with OOP, you can add functions to a script very easily. I don't know why.
The stock answer is: Abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.
As PHP is OO capable but not really OOP, you can usually program a solution faster using a procedural approach.
In the long run, however, by taking an OOP approach and putting in the time to "objectify" the problem(s) at hand, you'll have a more robust and extensible application.
I hear that PHP 5 will go further down the OOP road, and I hope they do. I for one would like to see an OOP paradigm approximating that implmented in JAVA.To start, adding multiple constructor support to PHP-Objects would be a great.
As ever,
I would argue that as it stands at the moment OOP is not all that useful for short or even moderately sized scripts; however I can understand where it would come into play for larger projects. Apart from the standard OOP efficiencies, the extensibility and manageability factor would probably come most into play here - code a class definition into a separate file, then just drop in a require_once("whatever.php"). Easy!
...and I would agree. Since when the scipt finishes executing PHPs' work is completed til the next script. To truly make PHP an 100% OOP language would, I beleive, be a detriment to its speed and be a big hit in development time for us developers.
Where OOP can be employed is for code that we reuse, and that is how I've gone about it in my work.
Why don't you guys quote examples? I've heard from many people the benefits, but I just don't see them. I really need examples to understand........
Ok, you guys say OOP code is more manageable, right? Any example to illustrate this point?
Also, OOP code can be extended easily? Any examples?
Here's a class definition for adding menu items to a DB:
//definition of class properties
class MenuItem
var $menuItemName = "Unset Property";
var $menuItemCat = "Unset Property";
var $menuItemLevel = 5;
var $menuItemPrice = 0.00;
var $menuRecipeLink = "Unset Property";
var $rec_code = "Unset Property";
//methods definition
The default ctor will take the properties set above ^^,
-- set them as needed in the script using the accessor methods below
-- to enforce user/program definition uncomment the assingments
-- in the default ctor and paste these arguments in the parentheses
$min, $mic, $mil, $mip, $recID
function MenuItem($min, $mic, $mil, $mip, $recID)
$this->menuItemName = $min;
$this->menuItemCat = $mic;
$this->menuItemLevel = $mil;
$this->menuItemPrice = $mip;
$this->menuRecipeLink = $recID;
}//end ctor
function toString()
print("

Properties for this Menu Item are:
Item Name: $this->menuItemName

Category: $this->menuItemCat

Item Level: $this->menuItemLevel

Item Price: $this->menuItemPrice

Recipe Links on value: $this->menuRecipeLink

");
//ACCESSOR METHODS:: Get and Set
//GET methods for accessing the properties
function getMenuItemName(){ return ($this->menuItemName ); }
function getMenuItemCat() { return ( $this->menuItemCat ); }
function getMenuItemLevel() { return ( $this->menuItemLevel ); }
function getmenuItemPrice() { return ( $this->menuItemPrice ); }
function getMenuRecipeLink() { return ( $this->menuRecipeLink ); }
function getRecCode() { return ( $this->rec_code ); }
//SET methods for Setting property values
function setMenuItemName( $n ){ $this->menuItemName = $n; }
function setMenuItemCat( $c ) { $this->menuItemCat = $c; }
function setMenuItemLevel( $l ) { $this->menuItemLevel = $l; }
function setMenuItemPrice( $p ) { $this->menuItemPrice = $p; }
function setMenuRecipeLink( $r ) { $this->menuRecipeLink = $r; }
function setRecCode( $rc ) {$this->rec_code = $rc; }
These methods interact with the Database.
Remember to include the class MyConnect into any page
that will call these methods
function addMenuItem()
$conxion = new MyConnect();
$mnuName = $this->getMenuItemName();
$mnuCat = $this->getMenuItemCat();
$mnuLevel = $this->getMenuItemLevel();
$mnuPrice = $this->getMenuItemPrice();
$mnuRecipeLink = $this->getMenuRecipeLink();
$sql = "INSERT into menu_item(menu_name, menu_cat, menu_level, menu_price, recipe_id) VALUES(\\"$mnuName\\", \\"$mnuCat\\", $mnuLevel, $mnuPrice, \\"$mnuRecipeLink\\")";
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $conxion->conn );
$err = mysql_error();
echo "
$err";
$affectedRows = mysql_affected_rows();
if($affectedRows > 0)
printf("Menu item $mnuName was successfully added to the database

Click to add another Item");
printf("
Unable to add $mnuName to the database.
Notify the administrator at Admin");
function deleteMenuItem()
$conxion = new MyConnect();
$mnuName = $this->getMenuItemName();
$rec_code = $this->getRecCode();
$sql = "DELETE from menu_item WHERE item_name = '" . $mnuName . "'";
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $conxion->conn );
$err = mysql_error();
echo "
$err";
$rowsDeleted = mysql_affected_rows();
if($rowsDeleted == 0 )
printf("Query successfully executed, but there was no item $mnuName in the database.\
printf("The menu item $mnuName has been permanantly removed from the database.");
printf("
" . $rowsDeleted . " records were deleted.");
$sql = "DELETE from recipe_ingredient_data WHERE rec_code = '" . $rec_code . "'";
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $conxion->conn );
$err = mysql_error();
echo "
$err";
$rowsDeleted = mysql_affected_rows();
if($rowsDeleted == 0 )
printf("There were no recipe-ingredients listed for $mnuName in the database. in the database for " . $mnuName);
printf("

<input type=\\"Button\\" Value=\\"Close and Exit\\" onClick=\\"window.close();\\">");
printf("
" . $mnuName . "  recipe - ingredient(s) have also been deleted.");
printf("
" . $rowsDeleted . " records were deleted.");
$sql = "DELETE from rec_blurb WHERE rec_code = '" . $rec_code . "'" ;
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $conxion->conn );
$err = mysql_error();
echo "
$err";
$rowsDeleted = mysql_affected_rows();
if($rowsDeleted == 0 )
printf("
There were no preparation instructions in the database to remove for this item:
" . $rec_code . "
 " . $mnuName . "");
printf("
This simply means no instructions were provided when the recipe was originally written.");
printf("
All data pertaining to this recipe/menu item have been deleted.");
printf("

Delete Another Item?");
printf("

<input type=\\"Button\\" Value=\\"Close and Exit\\" onClick=\\"window.close();\\">");
printf("
" . $rowsDeleted . " recipe preparation instructions successfully deleted.
");
printf("
All data have been removed for this item.");
printf("

Delete Another Item?");
printf("

<input type=\\"Button\\" Value=\\"Close and Exit\\" onClick=\\"window.close();\\">");
}//End Class Definition
Now, to use this you instantiate a new MenuItem Object, passing form values to the constructor:
$mi = new MenuItem($min, $mic, $mil, $mip, $recID);
To add the item to the DB:
So you see? The class definition is the code intensive part. Can you envision PHP pages which are fully funtional and only 3 lines of code?
That goes to code reusability.
But what I don't understand is, why must I do it in OOP? I mean, I can achieve the same convenience with procedural. I just have to declare normal functions on a separate file without declaring them in a class. Then I just "require" the file. By doing this, I'm also reusing my code, aren't I?
Another thing. I've heard from many people that by using OOP, you write shorter code. I don't really agree. You see, you just said that the class definition is intensive, so isn't it still the same?
Sorry, but pls don't take offence to any of my words. You see, I want to learn. When I want to learn, I will make sure that I understand 100%. I counter your arguments so that I have a higher chance of learning.
You can do much if not all with functions and includes/requires etc. It's very modular. And in that case you're only writing the function once then including as needed. One can argue that procedural vs. OOP is a matter of taste.
When you define a class, you're modelling an Object, not merely a behavior. Functions go to behavior. So a class has properites, as well as behavior ( functions ), thus a class, when well designed is more versatile.
Either way you look at it, you're still going to have to code a fair amount. It's that with OOP, you're localising it within the class, not the include file.
So when should I consider using OOP, and when must I avoid it?
That's a good question, as very often you can code something rather quickly in a procedural manner. i'd say when you are working on an application and you determine that certain charactersitics of the application will be re-used, and have multiple properties, then a class is a good way to go.
For example, if you're building an application that has members, then each memebr has basic characteristic, or properites:Name, gender, email, whatever you like. Here would be a good candidate to make a class definition for members.
An excellent book on Object Modelling is "Beginning Java Objects" from Wrox Press, written by Jaqui barker. The first 1/3 of the book is devoted to modelling objects in such a way that any language that supports OOP can be adapted, not just JAVA specific.
Going into your members example, are you trying to say that using OOP is enabling you to write neater code? Like your example, all properties are stored in an object, which is neater, compared to many variables.
That's one way of looking at it. But in essence, think of an object as a variable on steroids...you're making one definition with whatever properties/methods you think you'll need, then each object instantiated from that class has all those properties and methods inherent to it. Further along then, you make objects which inherit from other objects, and in doing so, you have all the methods/properties of the parent object, as well as any new methods & properites defined in the child objects' class definition.
Ok, thanks for all replies.
And here's another one .
One of the reasons that procedural programmers are hard to convince that object-oriented programming is so great, is that the examples given aren't very spectacular: most of them can be rewritten easily in procedural code. Also, much of the so-called OOP code out there isn't object-oriented at all. The PEAR library for example, is in fact not a real object-oriented library, even though the developers claim it is. (Don't worry, I'll explain my reasons for saying this below .)
The biggest advantage of OOP is re-use. Re-use comes in three flavors (mostly), but only one is used a lot, while the second and third are almost never used. PEAR, for example, uses only two flavors (and the second flavor minimally).
So what are these flavors of re-use? Well, here they are:
1. Object instantiation
This is the easiest and most popular form of re-use in OOP. phpPete gave a good example with his menusystem, so I won't give one here. You write a blueprint for some type, and you can reuse it over and over again simply by instantiating it (creating a variable and calling methods on it). In procedural programming you can achieve the same result by writing a module: a set of functions operating on the same datastructure. There is no advantage whatsoever in using OOP instead of PP for this type of code, except that OO-addicts (like me) say that using a class instead of a module makes the code easier to read (Example: '$database->query($sql)' instead of 'query($database, $sql)').
2. Class inheritance
The second form of re-use in OOP is class inheritance: given some class, you 'extend' it, adding new features or overriding existing ones. Inheritance comes in many forms, and I'll briefly describe three of the forms here, comparing each of them to procedular programming.
An interface (or: abstract base class, or even: virtual base class) is a class that defines a number of methods, but doesn't implement them. A subclass of the interface class must implement all methods to be a valid interface implementation. For example:
class Database
// create a database object
function Database($host, $dbname) { }
// connect to the database
function connect($username, $password) { }
// disconnect from the database
function disconnect() { }
// execute a query and return the result
function query($sql) { }
// are we connected?
function isConnected()
Now, subclasses of the Database interface must implement all methods to be a valid interface implementation. If we were to write Database classes for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle or whatever, they must all conform to the interface above. Why would we want that? Because it allows us to create code that executes methods on any Database-object. Or maybe you need a plug-in system, allowing developers to add code to the software at a later time.
The advantage of this kind of inheritance (and re-use) shows when using a strongly typed language (Java/C++). If I were to implement a subclass of class Database, the interpreter (or compiler) makes sure I do not forget to implement some method, that all methods have the right number of arguments, all of the right type, and that every method returns a result of the right type. There is no such thing in procedural programming, and the result is that programmers have to write code according to some long and dull manual. With OOP, you can throw away the manual, and trust your compiler to do the dirty work for you.
Because PHP doesn't explictly check types, writing interfaces isn't as useful as it is in Java or C++. That isn't to say it has no use at all. You can still write an abstract class, and use that as the guidelines you must follow if you want to implement the interface (instead of the boring manual). Also, you can put a 'die("Method not implemented!");' in every method in the interface, so that when you call that method on an object with an incomplete implementation, the program halts immediately.
Say you have some procedural module, but it doesn't quite do what you want it to do. If the module consists of many functions, you might be able to replace a couple so that it does. However, if the old module must be maintained at the same time, this means that you have to write a new module with all the same functions as the old one. In the new module, every function simply calls the equivalent function in the old one, except the ones you want to redefine. The result is that you end up with large blocks of code that do virtually nothing.
With OOP, you can achieve the same result by simply writing a subclass, and replacing only the methods you want to replace, keeping all other methods intact. The beauty of this is that the subclass is easier to write (less to type, so less chance of bugs) and easier to understand: only the code that adds something new must be written.
The PEAR library implements this kind of re-use a lot. Take a look at classes DB_mysql, DB_pgsql and so on. Class DB_common is the superclass of both classes, and defines basic methods. The two subclasses override only the necessary methods to get their work done. (But one of the biggest problems of PEAR is that almost every method of class DB_common has to be overridden to get it working. That's a clear sign of bad design!)
Most procedural programmers are familiar with callback functions: you write some function that takes as an argument (a pointer to) a function, and calls that function with yet another set of arguments. Those who ever did that in C will hopefully agree with me that it's pretty hard to do, because the code looks frightening (unless you're a C-guru), and it's easy to make mistakes.
As an example, take a function that implements 'bubble sort' on arrays with value of any type. To be able to sort the values, the function needs to call a user-specified function that compares two values. If the first value is bigger than the second, the function returns true, meaning that the values should be swapped:
function bubbleSort(&$array, $compare)
for ($i = 0; $i < count($array) - 1; $i++)
for ($j = 1; $j < count($array); $j++)
if ($compare($array[$i], $array[$j]))
$temp = $array[$i];
$array[$i] = $array[$j];
$array[$j] = $temp;
function compareIntegers($i, $j)
return $i > $j;
$array = array(8, 2, 4, 3, 1, 9, 7)
bubbleSort($array, "compareIntegers");
By writing a new comparison function, the sort-algorithm can easily be reused. This example is pretty simple, but imagine what happens if some algorithm needs many callback functions! With OOP, we can achieve the same goal in a much cleaner way (with 'hooks'):
class BubbleSort
function BubbleSort(&$array)
// Same algorithm as before, except that the line:
// if ($compare($array[$i], $array[$j]))
// is replaced by:
// if ($this->compare($array[$i], $array[$j]))
function compare($i, $j)
return $i > $j
$array = array(8, 2, 4, 3, 1, 9, 7)
$bs = new BubbleSort($array);
If I have to sort an array of 'Blob'-elements, all I need to do is override class BubbleSort and re-implement the compare method:
class BlobBubbleSort
function compare($blob1, $blob2)
return $blob1->getValue() > $blob2->getValue();
$blobArray = array(new Blob("foo"), new Blob("bar"), new Blob("this"), new Blob("that"));
$bbs = new BlobBubbleSort($blobArray);
Because this is such a small example, you might not see at once why this is 'better' than the equivalent procedural code with callback functions. But consider a complex system that needs many callback functions; in that case using classes leads to code that is much more readable and understandable. A classic example is a windowing toolkit. I won't go into the gory details here, so if you want to know more, take a look at one of the many windowing toolkits on the Internet like Swing (Java) or Qt (C++). Typically, those toolkits contain many classes with empty methods, that might or might not be implemented by subclasses. At other places in the toolkit calls are made to those methods, so as soon as you override an empty method and define its behavior, the framework immediately changes its behavior as well. As you can hopefully see by now, hooks provide a very powerful means to extend software easily.
Sadly, I haven't found any occurrences of hooks in PEAR. Draw your own conclusions from that...
There are more ways to use inheritance, but let's keep it at the three mentioned. I'll now continue with the third flavor of re-use in object-oriented programming:
3. Object composition
This is maybe the most powerful and beautiful application of OOP, but as it's also the most difficult one, almost nobody uses it. The idea behind object composition is that you implement classes that don't do a single job completely by themselves, but require additional classes to make them complete. That makes it easy to mix and match object of various types to get completely different behavior from the same classes. As you probably expected by now, PEAR does nothing of the sort.
As a simple example, consider again the bubblesort algorithm given earlier. The BubbleSort class looks a bit weird, because:- I have to instantiate an object just to run the algorithm. However, the class has no member variables, so why would I need an object?- When I override class BubbleSort (as in BlobBubbleSort), there is a potential danger that the algorithm itself can be overridden as well. This is not a clear separation between the main algorithm (bubble sort) and the specialized behavior (comparing two objects)
To solve this, I implement the algorithm in two classes, instead of one:
class BubbleSort
// This is a static method
function sort(&$array, $compareObject)
// Same algorithm as before, but now we do
// $compareObject->compare($i, $j);
class IntCompare
function compare($i, $j)
return $i > $j;
$array = array(8, 2, 4, 3, 1, 9, 7)
BubbleSort::sort($array, new IntCompare);
class BlobCompare
function compare($blob1, $blob2)
return $blob1->getValue() > $blob2->getValue();
$blobArray = array(new Blob("foo"), new Blob("bar"), new Blob("this"), new Blob("that"));
BubbleSort::new BubbleSort($blobArray, new BlobCompare);
Again, this example is very simple, but hopefully you'll see I'm now using object composition instead of just inheritance: by supplying the 'sort'-method with a different object, the algorithm automatically behaves differently as well. Also note that this example looks a bit like the procedural-style callback function, which more or less shows that callbacks are very important indeed. Whether to use hooks or object composition depends on the problem at hand, but it can be a difficult decision to make.
Object composition is something you just can't do without, as it allows you to abstract from the problem your working on, and lets you write code in layers. It's almost a requirement for a proper object-oriented programming library to support object composition. (Did I mention already that PEAR doesn't have this? Ah, never mind...)
Final remarks
The best object-oriented programs aren't the ones that use only one or two of the techniques I mentioned here, but the ones that combine all of them. For example, consider I write an interface 'Object', that defines a method 'getValue'. I use this class as a baseclass for all classes in the system to store all sorts of values. By writing one single class 'ObjectCompare' and implementing the simple method 'compare' in that class, I can instantly sort arrays of any kind of object! Thus, by combining inheritance and object composition, I can do a whole lot with very little code. Achieving this same result with procedural code not only requires more code, but also results in code that's difficult to understand.
To end this long (and boring) post, consider a program I just wrote for one of the web sites I'm working on. The program reads a text file containing a menu system, and prints it in nicely formatted HTML. The file it reads is the following:
category | name | link
PHP | SitePoint | http://www.sitepoint.com
PHP | PHP.net | http://www.php.net
Search | Google | http://www.google.com
Search | HotBot | http://hotbot.lycos.com
What I want to do is the following:- Each line in the file must be accessible as an array. The first line of the file contains the key. Thus if the first record would be in the variable $record, the value $record['name'] would be 'SitePoint'.- The complete file must be stored in memory, and each record must be accessible as described above.- The records in the file must be traversed.- Each record must be printed in HTML- The records must be ordered on category
To be more specific, I want to map the above text file to the following HTML:
SitePoint
PHP.net
Google
HotBot
To do that, I need to write code. So I start hacking away, and end up with only one (1!) statement:
new DataFileIterator(new DataFile('menu.dat', new DataFileReader)),
new MenuPrinter
Let me try and explain what it does, from the outside to the inside:
What if the text files have a different format? Well, then I replace the DataFileReader. What if I need to print the menu in a different layout? Well, then I replace the MenuPrinter. What if I stop using text files, and want to use a real database instead? Well, then I simply execute a query on a database and use a QueryIterator to process the results, like this:
// $database is a Database connection object
new QueryIterator(
$database->query('select category, name, link from menu, order by category')
new MenuPrinter
As you see, I don't have to re-implement a single thing. All I do is combine existing objects in a different manner, to get the behavior I want. And that, my dear ladies and gentlemen, is the true power of object-oriented programming!
However, PHP has not yet seen the full potential of OOP. Also, there is a lot of overhead with OOP in PHP right now. Hopefully, this will change as if you know what you are doing with OOP, you can write your code a shorter than if you were writting it in a procedural fashion.
The main advantage of OOP is that when you write a class, you can reuse it over and over again, because you are completly separating your code in between objects.
I stand on the positive side of oop. I have spent a lot of time studying the concept and can promise you that I increased my production time by at least 3x. I also increased readability of the code and extensibility. That said it isn't really something you can explain to someone because procedural style programming 'CAN' do it. Oop doesn't do it better but differently. The way I think is very organized and very block oriented. Oop suits me perfectly.
Like I said I believe oop is a line of thought. Both systems work and one may be more efficient than the other but really if you don't get oop you won't be able to use it properly.
As for the overhead and slow down of oop. I have programmed in both styles and don't see the difference. If there is one it is of no consequence in the newest versions of php. This may have applied in pre ver 4 though.
wow voostind you should write some tutorials or an ebook or something! all your posts on layering and OOP have totally blown me away and made me rethink the way i write PHP scripts.
i'm trying to decide whether to use OOP for a project that i haven't really started yet (so i can still do it right, from scratch :)). now, i'd say the only thing that's holding me back is the speed concern if OOP is slower. that's just because i hate having anything slower than it could be. have any of you benchmarked procedural and OOP versions of the same, real-world code? i just made this as a test on my P3 800:
class test
function add()
$num = 4 * 4;
function add()
$num = 4 * 4;
$test = new test;
$mt = explode(' ', microtime());
$before = $mt[0] + $mt[1];
for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++)
$mt = explode(' ', microtime());
$after = $mt[0] + $mt[1];
echo $after - $before, '
';
$mt = explode(' ', microtime());
$before = $mt[0] + $mt[1];
for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++)
$mt = explode(' ', microtime());
$after = $mt[0] + $mt[1];
echo $after - $before;
the first (OO) takes ~6.6msthe second takes ~4.9ms
of course that's an extremely simple function, but i was just trying to get an idea of the OOP overhead. so it looks like less than 2ms for 1000 OO operations. i assume that accessing variables in a class would also be slightly slower than accessing "regular" variables?
i like the fact that with OOP i can, i think, eliminate having to use `global $var;' to access variables between functions as i would have to with procedural.
also, i was wondering since i've never used OO before, what would be the best way to make like a $db object available in another class' methods without having to pass it? would you do something like this:
$db = new DB;
$foo = new AnotherClass;
$foo->db = &$db;
i have no idea if that's even right! i think you were explaining this in another thread, voostind. or would you have something in AnotherClass that creates the $db object, and then access it as, i guess, $foo->db->query()? or is that not a good idea? don't laugh! i don't know anything about this and want to know the best way to do it. others may be wondering the same thing.
I think the speed difference starts to be even less of an issue with larger projects. I think if you compared say a cms built on good procedural compared to oop the difference would be insignificant
That is similar to the way i design my classes. But according to Voostind current post this could be further optimized by something like (and I probably have this wrong as I am trying to grasp that level of oop design.
$test=new Test(new Db("table_name"))
Then you could have something like
class Test{ function Test($dbcnx) { $this->dbcnx=$dbcnx; }}
Then later in that script you can further access the db class by referencing the $this->dbcnx->query(); for example.
I think I have that right or at least close. Advanced oop tachniques are still a little over my head. And fully grasping the idea of layering in applications is also a little tough. But heh thats what hitting the books is suppost to do right

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a second investigation into Nissan in May. The first covered inaccurate fuel gauges in the 2007 Quest minivan. The latest affects the Sentra and Versa from the 2013 and 2014 model years and the 2014 Versa Note, because of complaints of long brake pedal travel. If NHTSA finds a problem, it could affect an estimated 200,000 vehicles.

Nissan is recalling 13,000 of its new 2014 Versa Note hatchbacks due to an issue with various bolts used to assemble the vehicle. Considering the Versa Note was only recently put on sale, this news must be driving Nissan nuts (we couldn't resist), but presumably the lion's share of these vehicles are still at dealerships.
2014 Nissan Versa Note priced from $13,990*

With the 2014 Nissan Versa Note going on sale this month, Nissan has announced the official pricing for its redesigned subcompact hatchback. Commanding a $2,000 premium over the Versa sedan, the new Versa Note will have a starting price of $13,990 (*not including $790 for destination), which is $680 less than the 2012 Versa Hatchback.

Alright, truth time: The Nissan Versa isn't exactly our favorite car in the subcompact class. It's certainly competent, reliable transportation, but it's hardly an emotional purchase choice. Perhaps this new version of the Versa, then, can change our minds a bit. Meet the Versa Note – the cuter, five-door version of the li'l sedan, making its debut here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.

Someone had led me to an article in NRC, a Dutch newspaper and news website: http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2013/03/18/geldautomaten-verdwijnen-uit-kleine-dorpen/"ATMs disappearing from small towns"
It states (translated):
The number of ATMs has fallen since 2008, and since then has gone down 13% to 7,569 (machines). That's 450 ATMs per 1.000,000 Dutch. In other wester European countries is the average much higher according to the paper, about 780.
The number of bank-buildings is also dropping fast. The number of branches fell 30% in the last few years, to 2,466 last year. This trend is expected to continue, due to the Rabobank announcing that it plans on closing half of its branches.
(Rabobanks are more common than other banks in the more rural areas... it began as a farmers' co-op bank.)
I think this is important because of how it makes Internets less of "something nice" or extra but an integral part of daily life. Something to think about when Internet, or speedy internet, is still not readily available to everyone, and the accessibility of web sites becomes more important.
Puzzled. If ATMs and branch banks are becoming fewer in number, how do people obtain cash from their accounts? Does that imply that cash is on the wane and plastic money is growing?
that would be my guess. I'm a cash person, I always make sure I have some around, less of a paper trail on me. But I've noticed over the last few years that I'm definitely in a very tiny minority. Rarely does someone else I'm with at lunch or something pay with cash.
They're trying to encourage more bank-related anythings to be done via internet, also many are stopping with paper statement mailings.
Usually if there's an ATM in a small town, it's near a branch affiliate building. When it's not, the bank the ATM works through is responsible for its maintenance, which costs them money.
They used to push something called ChipKnip, where your bank card had a sort of separate mini-account on it specifically for small amounts, where they wanted every shop no matter how tiny to have a ChipKnip reader. This was removed recently from the dual-card readers, but ChipKnip unfortunately remains usually the sole manner (besides coins) to pay for parking in a street meter. Bleh.
I'm also a paper money person, but I live above a shopping square so we have an ATM there. They are still relatively common in shopping areas, especially where there are markets, where vendors don't have any card-reading machines.
For small towns the banks simply want to save costs and are willing to demand people drive out to main offices the next city over to get cash.
Interesting. I always like having some cash on hand. I can't imagine ATMs disappearing for good.
Don't know about other countries, but most times I use my eftpos card in a supermarket or similar, I'll be asked "cash out?" (as well as "fly buys?" etc ... just about anything but "fries?"). I find it kind of annoying, to the point where I often just say "no cash out, thanks" before I'm asked ... although the checkout guy/chick usually asks anyway. :rolleyes:
Is this an option elsewhere? It basically means that many stores themselves are ATMs ... even in small towns around here. Sure, you can't just get cash out without buying something, but it's not too hard to think ahead most of the time. I normally use cash for purchases anyway, because I hate fumbling with a card, typing a password, waiting for approval etc.
Another routine question I hate to get each time is—"check, savings or credit?" Poor guys must get sick of asking that 1000 times a day. Once I handed a checkout girl a $20 note, and she tiredly asked—"check or savings?" ...
We don't have anything like that in Spain. I know that in UK you can pay with a cheque, even if you have to pay only one pound. I didn't know that it was similar in Austrailia.
Here you can pay with debit or credit card if the amount is over 5 euros (it depends on the store, it may be 10) and cash for small amounts.
Also, most big stores can't offer loans or credit cards (there's just one that can do it) and none of them can offer any type of accounts (savings or check). Only banks can open and operate accounts, no one else.
This means, of course, that you can't get any cash out if you go to the supermarket.
Wow, that's interesting. It's just taken for granted here.
Diffetent countries, different systems... another thing that you can't do in the supermarket is paying with a cheque :lol: (well, I do not know any store that will accept a cheque at all)
But in UK everybody accepted them.
Yeah, I should have spelled it "cheque" around here, but wotevah. It doesn't actually mean a cheque as in a piece of paper, btw, but a cheque account, which is some kind of bank account similar to a savings account. We certainly don't pay the supermarket with an old-style, physical cheque.
And that is real problem for older folks who are Internet illiterate, never had computers and because banks has been closing branches they are making older folks travel extra milesto get old fashion service.
I remember waiting in line for old guy to pay by interact for at least 5 minutes before he figured up how to use it.
Most stores in Australia don't offer their own accounts either - the EFTPOS machines in their store are attached to thir bank and the three choices of how to pay relate to the account that you have with your own bank that you want to withdraw the money from. All three options can even draw from the same bank account with only the path the money takes to be transferred and the associated fees being different. For example I always say credit because that option means I don't pay fees (unless the store charges extra for credit) while I have to pay a per transaction fee for the other two options even though all three options are attached to the one account.
Hm, I'll have to check that. I've never been aware of paying fees, but I don't take much interest in this stuff. Thanks for the tip, anyhow.
It varies between the different banks. It just happens that the one I am with only charges fees on EFTPOS transactions and by selecting credit they process it as a free credit card transaction instead.
There are some banks that charge fees for both and some that only charge for credit. There are even some that don't charge for either - thinking of moving my account to one of those soon.
So it all depends on who you bank with.
I'm pretty sure mine doesn't, but I'm going to double check, anyhow. I've certainly never noticed any fees listed, nor have the purchase prices been listed as higher than what I paid in-store. (But I'm sure there are plenty of sneaky ways to slip in fees here and there.)

Wine production has grown from 2,500 cases in 1993 to over 100,000 cases today. The critics all agree Renwood produces consistently exceptional wines that cover the spectrum from big, bold, jammy Zins to wonderfully balanced Syrahs and Barberas.
Renwood's Grandpere Zinfandel which comes from their Grandpere Vineyards is the oldest known clone of Zinfandel in America. All grapes are handpicked and fermented in small lots, then aged in oak barrels to preserve the unique character of each vineyard. View all Renwood Winery Wines
About Sierra FoothillsView a map of Sierra Foothills wineries
Called gold country since the mid-1800's, the Sierra Foothills, located between Sacramento and the Nevada border, was a hot spot for those seeking a gold rush fortune. Some of these settlers brought some European vines with them and somewhere in that mix was the Zinfandel grape.
Notable FactsZinfandel remains the grape of choice here, followed by Rhone Blends. Volcanic rock & granite-based soils give their wines a robustness that make them unique, and highly sought after, particularly from the two best-known counties, Amador and El Dorado. Zinfandels here are spicy and structures, with brambly fruit and excellent backbone. Once a well-kept secret, wine from the Sierra Foothills is now on the national wine map.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Bob Dylan nominated for French Legion of Honor
Listen to Bob Dylan on iHeartRadio
Bob Dylan just might receive a special award from France. His nomination for the Legion of Honor has been approved. The grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor council said in a letter to the "Le Monde" newspaper that Dylan is an "exceptional artist" who is internationally known as a "tremendous singer and great poet."
Another French newspaper reported last month that the famed singer-songwriter had been rejected as a possible recipient over his views on the Vietnam War and his suspected use of marijuana.
The Legion of Honor is France's most prestigious award, which recognizes excellence from both military members and civilians as well as foreigners who have served France or upheld French ideals. Paul McCartney received the award last year.

Post subject: POSITIONAL RANKINGS for 2012 NFL DRAFT
Don't be afraid to go with your first instinct and make a controversial ranking if you feel it is the right one. Here's mine:
1. R. Griffin III - strong arm, blazing speed, fantastic feel for the pocket and great decision maker
2. A. Luck - prototypical size, strong in the pocket, accurate on the run, great mechanics, very good decision maker
3. R. Tannehill - good accuracy, midrange velocity, and scrambler, good size
4. B. Weeden - solid field awareness, solid mechanics, good arm
1. T. Richardson - smart runner, secure ball handler, low center of gravity, strong
2. D. Martin - good vision, adequate in the passing game, and agile runner
3. L. Miller - blazing fast, agile, low to the ground and decisive
4. D. Wilson - at one point thought he was the most talented runner, just wildly inconsistent
5. I. Pead - good but not great athlete with a big frame and good decisiveness
1. S. Hill - biggest freak in the draft with the most potential
2. M. Floyd - this years jon baldwin but with more freakish ability & speed
3. J. Blackmon - competitive gamer with good instincts, work ethic and athleticism
4. R. Randle - surprisingly big and fast guy who knows how to get open and get YAC
5. A. Jeffery - deceiving speed with a dominating frame; think marques colston
6. J. Adams - has potential to be best slot receiver in draft with enough know how and speed to split out
7. K. Wright - questionable work ethic but everything else is there except size
8. M. McNutt - consistent player, long arms, good hands, runs well
9. R. Boyles - great field awareness, athleticism and route running
10. M. Sanu - physically gifted athlete with good speed and strength
11. A. Jenkins - reliable hands catcher and runs good routes

I can't say the same for myself, I was MOX, after all, whose main intent was to stir the pot and piss people off.
Little happens on the grid to piss me off any more. I still notice the crappy blends and the visual provocations, but I've assumed a very zen-like attitude around it all.
I definitely miss EHO but do not miss the JIT/EHO viciousness. Such a waste of talent. I'd love to know what DGT is up to, and IAN was awesome but would be massively surprised if he ever showed up again. KYT is reachable, I'm sure he would pop in if prompted.
All this makes me want to see the vaporware Gridcosm DVD!
