text: Since the mid 2000s one of the prevailing trends in the IT world has been to move networks, data, operating systems and servers into an environment where they are not tied to a specific piece of hardware.\nIn the early days the emphasis was on virtualisation. Organisations concentrated on increasing the number of servers on one machine using a hypervisor program with the activities kept in-house.\nMore recently there has been an emphasis on cloud computing, with more functions passing into the hands of a third party. The latter includes the option for a private cloud, dedicated to one enterprise.\nVirtualisation and private cloud strategies are sometimes confused, not helped by the varying definitions.\nThe strongest distinction is that virtualised technology is a fixture of an IT estate while cloud computing is offered as an on-demand service, for platform, infrastructure or software, available on a pay-as-you-go basis.\nCloud is currently drawing more attention, with the government opening the Cloudstore for the public sector and a stream of big deals in the private sector, recent examples being at Deloitte and Proctor & Gamble.\nBut there is still a steady, if more low key, move to virtualised environments, with recent deals for organisations such as Thames Water and Medway NHS Trust. Also, Forrester has recently predicted a rise in demand for data virtualisation technology.\nAs organisations consider which route to take they have to look closely at which is better to meet their business needs.\nThis can be difficult, not least because both are often described in language which bears little relation to business processes, but there are a number of factors that should be taken into account.\nCosts offsetCost is the most obvious. It will be higher for virtualisation as it involves a considerable amount of work in setting-up and customising, while the provider of a cloud service has already borne these costs.\nThe latter also provides the scope for efficiency savings through the utility computing model, in which the customer only pays for what they use; but if the service is heavily used the costs can increase and begin to offset the initial savings.\nThis is unlikely to be the case for many organisations, but there are times when it is cheaper to own the asset.\nVirtualisation can provide clear advantages if an organisation needs a high degree of control. Keeping operations within its own data centre can make it easier to manage and make changes to its IT environment, providing more flexibility.\nThis can be important if it runs a number of specialised applications that have to be tailored to the platform, and if it wants to respond to changes in the use of technology.\nIt could also be a significant factor for organisations that are increasing their use of remote technology or adopting a BYOD policy.\nGreater control is also relevant to the concerns around data security.\nThere is no doubt that cloud providers take the issue very seriously, and they will offer service level agreements that provide strong guarantees on the integrity of the data they hold.\nBut the more sensitive the data the greater the anxieties and some organisations will get more assurance from holding it in their own facilities, where their own people are in charge day to day.\nThe control can also provide more assurance around the management of risk around legal and regulatory issues.\nDowntime factorsReliability is also the subject of a debate that is difficult to settle. In a virtualised environment the loss of the network connection can cut access to multiple servers; but there could be a similar problem for a cloud set-up of the wide area network link goes down.\nBut there is a case for stating that the cloud offers greater resilience in the event of a problem, with the provider likely to have more options for using multiple servers or shifting to other data centres.\nIn addition, there will usually be more scalability in the cloud, with the scope for a rapidly expanding business to increase its data holdings and processing capacity without the time and cost of a big in-house investment.\nThis aligns with the flexibility that comes with the short term deals offered by cloud providers, sometimes with commitments of months rather than years, to make it responsive to what the customer needs.\nBut the fanfare around cloud computing should not distract from the case for virtualisation. Overall it's not clear cut, and depends on a series of value judgements determined by the nature and circumstances of the organisation's business.\nVirtualisation is sometimes described as a component that can provide a step towards the adoption of a private cloud.\nBut some enterprises may want to pause when they have taken that step and see if it has given them everything they need.\nDavid Clarke, MBE is CEO of the BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT\nPic: tm-tmcc2.0


text: Your most likely culprit in this case is too large a resistor value. For cat5 of 18ft or less, you should need a resistor between 70-100 ohm. 220 is overkill and will round off the signal just enough to look like the occasional timing glitch (periodic flashes on a subsection of the strip). I chronicled some of my own findings on the matter here.

The state approved a marijuana grow Wednesday off Auto Center Boulevard in Bremerton.
Producer and processor United Western Green will be located in a warehouse at 111 Bruenn Ave., according to Liquor and Cannabis Board records.
United Western Green is the 16th producer/processor licensed in Kitsap County.
Retailers on the move
Marijuana retailers originally licensed in South Kitsap are shuffling locations this fall, perhaps seeking less crowded markets.
The board recently approved an address change allowing 21+ Recreational Marijuana to hop from Bethel Road in Port Orchard to 3062 SW Hwy. 16, Suite A in Gorst.
Two other South Kitsap marijuana stores have applied to relocate to Silverdale.
Fillabong, which also operates a shop in Silverdale, already shifted its license from Mile Hill Drive to 3249 Perry Ave., just outside Bremerton limits.
Here's my map of Kitsap marijuana businesses. I'll update the new retail locations once they're approved by the board:

Sequester poll: GOP would be blamed
Nearly half of Americans would blame Republicans if $1.2 trillion in spending cuts go into effect on March 1, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Only 31 percent would blame President Barack Obama, according to the Pew Research Center/USA Today poll, while 49 percent would blame the congressional GOP. Eleven percent would blame both.
( PHOTOS: What they're saying about sequestration)
The spending cuts — known as the sequester in Washington-speak — would cut equally from defense and domestic programs across the board. While most of Washington agrees the consequences of the sequester could be disastrous — economists have said it could cause another recession and military leaders have said it would harm national security — efforts to avert it are at a standstill. Obama has said revenue from closing tax loopholes should be included in a deal, while the GOP wants it to consist exclusively of spending slashes.
Republicans get most of the blame despite an all-hands-on-deck effort by the GOP to blame the White House for the sequester, frequently pointing out the idea originated in the executive branch. Most congressional Republicans voted for the sequester as part of 2011's Budget Control Act.
If Congress and the White House can't reach a deal to replace the sequester, 49 percent of Americans want them to delay the spending cuts — originally scheduled to happen on Jan. 1 — even further. Forty percent said they should allow the cuts to happen.
While Americans might be willing to delay the spending cuts, they do want a deficit-reduction deal this year. Seven in 10 said it was "essential" for a deficit deal this year, compared with only 51 percent who said the same about immigration and 46 percent who said so about gun legislation.
Republicans might have a small leg up in negotiating a deal. Seventy-six percent said a combination of spending cuts and tax increases should be used to reduce the deficit. But 54 percent said the combination should lean toward cuts. Only 16 percent said it should rely mostly on tax hikes.
The poll of 1,504 adults was conducted from Feb. 13 to Feb. 18. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Return to: School of Education
In order to earn a Post-Master's Certificate, students must complete six courses (a total of 18 credit hours) within the chosen Post-Master's Certificate program. With the exception of the General Education certificate, each Post-Master's Certificate program is prescribed, meaning students can only take what is listed for the particular Post-Master's Certificate program (students may not substitute alternative courses). Students must complete all six NCU courses with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better in order to receive the certificate.
Admission to the Post-Master's Certificate program requires a conferred master's level or higher degree from a regionally or nationally accredited academic institution.
6 NCU Courses (18 Credit hours) must be completed from the coursework outlined within the corresponding Post-Master's Certificate specialization. Courses taken as part of a NCU master's program cannot be applied towards a Post-Master's Certificate program.
Normal time to completion for this program is 16 months.
Time to completion varies depending upon the pace in which a student completes courses and the number of transfer credits accepted. As most NCU students are working adults balancing educational, professional, and personal commitments, our academic and finance advisors will work with you to develop a program schedule that works best for your needs.
The normal time disclosed above reflects the experience of students who may have entered under different program requirements. In the quest for continuous improvement, academic leadership has revised the program to optimize curriculum and pace, facilitate student learning, and improve chances for success. Therefore, the program is now designed for students enrolling today to take advantage of these revised course structures, lengths, and schedules. New students following the preferred schedule designed by the Dean for this program, and applying no transfer credits, can expect to finish in as little as 9 months.
NCU allows 2 years to complete all Post-Master's Certificate.
Students who are unable to complete a degree program within the stated time limits are dismissed. If a student believes they have extenuating circumstances they may document the circumstances and send a request for consideration to their respective School Dean or designee. Exceptions to the policy are determined on a case-by-case basis and are granted only once.
NOTE: If a student wants to enroll in a doctoral program in a school other than the school from which the student obtained the Post-Master's Certificate, the University does not guarantee that any of the courses will be transferable to a program of another NCU school.
EXAMPLE: Student obtains a Post-Master's Certificate through the School of Business, but wants to obtain a doctorate through the School of Behavioral and Health Sciences.
In these cases, the School Dean (from the School in which the student wants to obtain the doctorate) will review the Post-Master's Certificate courses and provide the final determination. The outcome will be documented in the student's file. The student will be notified by e-mail of the requirements to obtain the doctoral degree.

Duffey's QB draw for score pushes Texas Tech past TCU 17-14
By STEPHEN HAWKINS, AP Sports Writer
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jett Duffey got his first start for Texas Tech with two other quarterbacks hurt, and one of them actually replaced him after halftime.
After McLane Carter played only one series on his sprained left ankle that wasn't ready for full-speed action, Duffey returned to throw a 62-yard touchdown pass and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 38-yard draw play as the Red Raiders beat TCU 17-14 on Thursday night.
"I was really proud of Jett. That's such a hard situation, first start ever and at halftime we're going to try something else," coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "Then have to put him back in, and find a way, dig deep, be mentally tough enough to handle that, make enough plays to win the game. I can't say enough about his mental toughness."
Duffey held on to the ball just long enough on his touchdown run with seven minutes left, on the first play after a punt by TCU (3-3, 1-2 Big 12). The score stood after a replay review.
Defender Trevon Moehrig-Woodard knocked the ball loose right at the goal line, and it rolled forward through the end zone. It was immediately signaled a touchdown for the Red Raiders (4-2, 2-1).
"They caught us in a blitz," TCU coach Gary Patterson said.
"The coaches on the Tech sideline they were waiting on that draw," TCU defensive end Ben Banogu said. "They saw we were in a three-man front and we got back in coverage and they kind of took advantage it and we didn't tackle."
Carter suffered a high left ankle sprain in the first quarter of the season opener. True freshman Alan Bowman replaced him, and was the nation's leading passer before a crushing blow in the last game that left him with a partially collapsed lung.
All three Tech quarterbacks took part in pregame warmups, though Kingsbury said Bowman was still staying engaged and was never going to play.
Carter took over after Duffey had only 40 yards passing and 37 rushing before halftime. Carter was 2-of-3 passing for 12 yards, but was sacked on consecutive plays on his only series.
Duffey finished 13-of-24 passing for 190 yards, including a 62-yard touchdown in the third quarter to Ja'Deion High, who was wide open at the 30 and ran the rest of the way — on a play that Kingsbury rushed his offense to the ball after seeing the desired coverage.
Duffey also had 16 carries for 83 yards.
The final drive for TCU ended when Shawn Robinson desperately scrambled from one side of the field to the other on fourth-and-1 before the ball appeared to slip out of his hands and was intercepted by Adrian Frye in the final minute.
Robinson was 26-of-45 passing for 290 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Frogs were up 14-10 when KaVontae Turpin streaked past a defender and into the end zone to make a 31-yard TD catch with 11 minutes left. Turpin had six catches for 120 yards.
"This program's been here before gentlemen," Patterson said. "It doesn't look good when you're 3-3 and you're looking right down the middle of Oklahoma and they have two weeks to prepare for you."
Texas Tech: The Red Raiders were held to 353 total yards, well below their national-best average of 591 yards a game. They had also scored 48 points a game. But Duffey made enough plays, especially the two big touchdowns.
TCU: The Horned Frogs had their eight-game home winning streak snapped. They had 411 total yards, but couldn't overcome mistakes. They had three turnovers, including an interception in the end zone, and had a missed field goal attempt.
"We've got better players than what we did," Patterson said. "We can't turn the ball over. Our running backs have got to secure it better."
It was the third time the Red Raiders won in their last four trips to Fort Worth. They needed multiple overtimes in each of the previous two wins. In the other game during that stretch, TCU won 82-27 in 2014.
Johnny Manziel, who won the Heisman Trophy as a freshman at Texas A&M in 2012 when Kingsbury was his offensive coordinator, attended the game during an open week on his CFL schedule. Kingsbury became his alma mater's head coach the next season.
"I've been begging him since 2013 to make it to a game," Kingsbury said. "I just told him thanks for finally coming. It's only been six years."
Texas Tech is home Oct. 20 against Kansas.
TCU plays its third consecutive home game Oct. 20 against No. 11 Oklahoma.

Reuters is reporting that, according to an unnamed source, the Nexus One may be subsidized by T-Mobile. A site called Android and Me is claiming that T-Mobile will sell it for $199 with contract, starting on January 5.
Meet Microsoft's New Surface Laptops
A January release date sounds reasonable based on what we know about the phone so far, and the information gleaned from the FCC details also makes T-Mobile a potential carrier, should Google take that route. A $199 subsidized price seems like the standard we are seeing elsewhere.
What I really want to know is how much this thing will cost without a contract. [HTC Source via Android and Me via ABC—Thanks, Steven!]

Olallie Lake - 6.2 Miles Round-Trip
Olallie Lake is located 3.1 miles from Talapus Creek Trailhead in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. This moderate hike features diverse forests and a stop at Talapus Lake, with good fishing and camping options at each. The Talapus Creek Trail continues past Olallie Lake to Pratt Saddle, Pratt Lake and beyond via a junction with the Pratt Lake Trail (#1007):
The trail begins on gentle switchbacks lined by red huckleberry and numerous large stumps. An assortment of devil's club, skunk cabbage, red alder, sword and bracken fern, vine maple and bunchberry fill out the diverse understory.
It climbs 400' on the first mile to Talapus Creek (1.2 miles), where grades steepen on eroded switchbacks above the water. Enjoy a splash pool on Talapus Creek before crossing the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Boundary into tall stands of silver fir (1.8 miles : 3,274').
Follow signs (right) for Talapus - Olallie Lakes where a faint spur splits left (1.86 miles : 3,285'), and cross several bridges over Talapus' braided outlet to Talapus Lake (2.1 miles : 3,370').
The trail continues on switchbacks through silver fir and hemlock that moderate to a trail junction for Olallie Lake (left), and east across the creek to Pratt Saddle (2.9 miles : 3,670').
It crests through a mossy hemlock stand (3.3 miles : 3,811') and dips to the west side of Olallie Lake (3.3 miles : 3,790'). Much of the shore is accessible, and lined by blueberry and huckleberry bushes that peak by mid-August. There's a privy and numerous campsites at the lake.

Microsoft on Sunday cut the price of its Surface Pro tablet by $100, or between 10% and 11%, dropping the 64GB model to $799 and the 128GB to $899.
The cuts came three weeks after much more dramatic discounts to Microsoft's Surface RT, which was reduced by up to 30% to prices starting at $349.
Microsoft said that the price cuts would be valid in the U.S. and Canada until August 30, or while supplies last. Discounts were also offered to customers in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
U.S. electronics retailer Best Buy -- a key Microsoft partner -- also was selling the Surface Pro tablets at the lower prices Sunday, as was Staples.
The Surface Pro tablets rely on Windows 8 Pro and Intel processors, rather than the stripped-down Windows RT and lower-powered ARM processors of the Surface RT devices. Surface Pro tablets can run traditional Windows software like the full-featured Office 2013 productivity suite.
While the price cuts were reminiscent of the more aggressive Surface RT discounts, their much smaller size could simply be part of Microsoft's back-to-school marketing: August is the biggest month for that selling season, which is second only to the end-of-the-year holidays for retailers pushing consumer electronics, personal computers and tablets.
Microsoft is expected to refresh its Surface tablet lines this fall, a notion reinforced by company executives, who have repeatedly pledged that the company is in the tablet business for the long haul. The Surface Pro discounts could be part of the usual push to empty inventory prior to the launch of new models.
The 10% to 11% price cuts were also in line with other hardware makers' recent discounting. Last month, Best Buy ran a short-term deal that chopped prices of the MacBook Pro by as much as 17%, and for college students, up to 25%.
One analyst, however, suspects that Microsoft has overestimated demand for the Surface Pro, just as it did for the Surface RT. Last month, Microsoft took a $900 million charge against second-quarter earnings to account for the steep Surface RT discounts and write off excess inventory of components and accessories.
Sameer Singh, an analyst who covers smartphones and tablets on his Tech-Thoughts website, recently ran numbers to try to come up with an ASP, or average selling price, of the Surface line based on Microsoft's disclosure that it had earned $853 million in revenue from its tablets since October 2012.
Singh based his ASP guesstimate on Surface shipment estimates from researcher IDC.
His conclusion: The low ASP -- between $370 and $430 -- hints that Microsoft had sold very few of the more expensive Surface Pro models. "This suggests that Surface Pro sales have been extremely poor, and both Surface variants may have suffered from high returns, which would certainly explain the inventory pattern in the latest quarter," Singh wrote on Thursday.
"If this continues, Microsoft may be forced into further inventory write-downs for the Surface Pro," Singh said.

Before Tyson Fury and Steve Cunningham go at it in the heavyweight showdown of the year on NBC network television, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in the afternoon of April 20th, a loaded undercard will warm up the New York crowd and have them ready for the anticipated main event.
The stacked undercard is led by an 8-round middleweight match between Brooklyn's Curtis "Showtime" Stevens, 23-3, 17 KOs, and Chicago's Derrick "Superman" Findley, 20-9, 13 KOs. This nationally televised co-feature is likely to be a punch-out, with both fighters known as straight forward battlers with a taste for knockouts. The NBC broadcast will begin at 4PM ET. Stevens has smoked his last two foes in a single round, and Findley toppled Ronald Hearns, the son of the great Thomas Hearns, in his last knockout win.
Also featured on the undercard is undefeated Philly lightweight Karl "Dynamite" Dargan, 12-0, 6 KOs, in a 6-rounder against Sergi Ganjelashvili, 4-5-1, of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This will already be the second fight of 2013 for Dargan, who has vowed to stay active after a stop-and-start couple of years in the ring. With his uncle, top-flight trainer Brother Naazim Richardson, in his corner, Dargan is expected to make his move in the division this year, and finally reach the potential that his stellar amateur career suggested would come his way. Dargan will look to score lucky win #13 against Ganjelashvili.
Cruiserweights Sevdail "The Illyrian" Sherifi, 9-1-2, 8 KOs, and Josh "The Juice" Harris, 8-6-1, 6 KOs, will clash in a heavy-fisted 6-rounder. Both fighters will enter the ring with excellent knockout stats. All but one of the Sherifi's wins have come by KO, while Harris, the southpaw from Youngstown, OH, has stoppage wins over Alex Mejias and Jaywon Woods to his credit. Chances are this fight will end long before the final bell.
Undefeated Brooklyn-based but Poland-born heavyweight Adam Kownacki, 4-0, 4 KOs, takes on Calbert Lewis, 0-2, of Gary, IN, in a 4 round preliminary bout. The Polish puncher will look to keep his record perfect, while Lewis will chase his first victory as a pro.
Hughie Fury, the cousin of main eventer Tyson Fury, will make his American debut in a 4-round fight. His opponent has not yet been confirmed, but just like his more famous relative, the younger Fury will be looking to make an impression on the Garden boxing fans. The 18-year old Hughie is also a heavyweight, but measures a '"mere" 6' 6″, a full three inches shorter than his gargantuan cousin.
After the undercard brawls are finished and the smoke finally clears, the MSG crowd will be in the perfect mood for the big 12-round heavyweight eliminator between Fury and Cunningham.
The main event is an official IBF Heavyweight Voluntary Eliminator fight for the #2 position. The winner must meet #1 or the leading available contender to establish the mandatory challenger for Heavyweight King Wladimir Klitschko.

Re: Error icon not visible
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Fri, 2018-11-30 04:50
Nathan, sorry you're having a problem. It's difficult to think of how a theme could alter behavior in that way and we haven't been able to reproduce the problem so far. Can you ensure you're using the same editor you were before installing DevStyle? Perhaps leave the editor open and then switch back to the Classic theme (you'd need a restart) and see if you get that behavior back. You can also check which default editor is set for the file by right clicking on the file and selecting Open With (the default editor will have a highlighted icon).
If you've installed DevStyle as part of another plugin feature, you may be seeing a different editor behavior. If you continue to see this problem, is it possible for you to raise a new topic for it on our forums? Here is the forum home URL: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/ . You should use the appropriate forum for the product you've installed (or just DevStyle>Theme Problems if it still seems like a theme issue).

Thiago, thank you for your candid feedback. Apart from information collected during user-initiated support requests, we do not collect any personally identifiable information.
On review of this clause, we realize that it contains rather over zealous boilerplate jargon that must be tightened to only specify what is actually being collected by DevStyle. Like our other products, we will also be adding a preference allowing you to opt out of metrics collection. Both these changes will make it to a release in the near future. Thanks!
Problem with latest Darkest Dark and Eclipse 4.9

random white characters
Submitted by Steve Pruitt on Wed, 2018-10-17 13:36
Does anyone know how to keep Eclipse randomly turning characters white when using a Dark theme? It happens to Darkest Dark and the default, so I suspect its an Eclipse issue.
Re: random white characters
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Mon, 2018-11-12 22:34
Can you provide some examples of where and when the random coloring change occurs? We might be able to do something about it with Darkest Dark (and other DevStyle dark themes) if we have more details. The release of eclipse and the OS being used would also help. If you post on our support forums, you can add a screenshot to give us a better understanding. Support forums are here: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/

Latest Linux improvements are excellent
Submitted by Roger Duthie on Tue, 2018-09-18 05:33
I've been using Darkest Dark for a while, with Eclipse Photon on CentOS 7 and MATE desktop, and had agiven up writing down the places where the theme was broken to the point of near unusability. There were buttons which had white text on light-grey background etc., or search fields black text on a dark-grey background).
HOWEVER the latest release (2017 CI 14 - cf., the Genuitec delivery log page) has solved all the problems that made the theme almost unusable. I am very impressed.
There are a couple of things which are still not quite right, but I'll add these to the Genuitec forum for consideration.
Thank you for the nice plugin! I'm now confident that this is something I'll use into the future.
Re: Latest Linux improvements are excellent
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-09-26 00:41
Thanks for the kind comments Roger. As you can imagine, this kind of endeavor can be very complex and, with multiple platforms, not to mention uncountable plugins, to accommodate, it can be very difficult to get it completely right 100% of the time but we have put a lot of effort in to correct reported problems even though this is completely free to use. So it's very gratifying to see that our efforts are being noticed.
Thanks again and, yes please, raise issues on the support forums, which is the best place, rather than our trying to deal with them on this review page.

SVN linked local file changes indicator
Submitted by Arpit Parasana on Fri, 2018-08-31 11:11
Liked overall, would love to have an extra feature where eclipse put a star beside a file which has local file changes that need to be checked out to SVN (like normal theme has).
Re: SVN linked local file changes indicator
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-09-05 01:55
Thanks for your comments, Arpit. Regarding the file change indicator for SVN files, I see a star decoration for changed files in my test, so I must have a different setup to you. Could you please raise the issue in our support forums: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/ ? Please include as much detail as possible, including the SVN plugin you're using, the version of eclipse, the DevStyle theme and your OS and version. Our support forums are a better way of addressing problems, rather than the comments section here and we should be able to get to the cause of the problem there.
Heap status component
Submitted by Arpit Parasana on Tue, 2018-08-28 10:23

Arpit, apologies for my last reply to this issue. I was confusing a couple of features. Yes, there is a problem with the contrast between the heap status text and the color of the free space area, making the text difficult to read. I've raised a bug report for that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Arpit, if possible, could you raise the issue in our support forum at: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/ ? It's not clear what plugin is providing the heap status for you, as it isn't a standard part of eclipse. I do see something similar in the heap status available with MyEclipse and will raise a bug report for that (though the text is just readable). If you're not referring to MyEclipse, please give as much detail as possible in the support forum mentioned above.

Java editor wrong horizontal scrollbar

First of all, congrats for the great work.
After upgrading DevStyle to 126.96.36.199805291134 version, the horizontal scrollbar in editors is appearing like eclipse default instead of black and slim like DevStyle style. The vertical scrollbar still shown correctly.
With same config in previous version (220.127.116.11805291134) it works correctly and both scrollbars was shown acordling to theme.
Can you help me? Some suggestions? It's a known bug?

Darkest Dark theme adding new Java class window dark cursor
Submitted by Jingfeng Zhao on Thu, 2018-07-19 11:58
Hi, good plugin overall. I have one issue, when using the Darkest Dark theme, when adding new Java classes, in the new Java file window, the cursor for typing class name is black and it is on black background, which is hard to see. Can we improve this?
Re: Darkest Dark theme adding new Java class window dark cursor
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-07-25 04:29
Jingfeng Zhao, thanks for your comments on the plugin. I'm assuming that you're using a Mac, as I could only reproduce the issue on that OS. If you're using some other platform, please raise an issue on our support forums at https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/
If you're on a Mac, the problem is seen in other wizards also but I note it doesn't stop use of those wizards. I've raised the problem with development and we will certainly seek to improve the experience here though there does seem to be a problem with dark themes generally (the standard eclipse Dark theme also exhibits the problem) so there might be an issue with the OS. However, we'll do our best to make this a better experience.
Thanks again for reporting the problem.

We're keen to figure out what happened in your situation, both to help you and in case others come across it. We have thousands of Oxygen and Photon users of the plugin and, as Brian pointed out, we've tested extensively with both eclipse releases, including with upgraded installs from Oxygen to Photon but have not seen the issue you're reporting. If you'd like to help resolve it, please raise the issue on our support forums where we can investigate it more thorougly as this is not the best forum for the exchanges that might be needed. We look forward to helping you at https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/
Re: Broke eclipse
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2018-07-17 08:11
Thomas, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with DevStyle. DevStyle is compatible with Photon, and there's no way it can revert your installation back to Oxygen, unless a "downgrade path" was chosen during installation itself, perhaps due to other plugins you may have had installed. Our team has specifically tested multiple Photon installations, even those which had been upgraded from Oxygen, and it works as expected. Unfortunately, the downgrade could have resulted in a corrupted installation, and this is likely the cause of the lockups you experienced.
If you try DevStyle again, please note any issues / alt installation paths that are suggested during installation. We'll be happy to help with any installation issues you may have - you can report them here, or better still, use our support forum: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/
Tiny improvement is necessary 2 : Last line number
Submitted by Yoruichi Shihouin on Sun, 2018-06-10 22:00
Env: Windows 10 64-bit, Eclipse 4.7.3a
Hello, there is one more thing I have found so far after I issued the scrollbar problem.
If I try to scroll down until the end of the file on source code window in general, I can only see horizontally half of the last line number. However, if I execute scrolling on the 'line number panel' directly, it can be fully shown.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Re: Tiny improvement is necessary 2 : Last line number

A workaround for this issue is to maximize the editor (double click on the tab for this editor). I hope that helps until we fix this.

Tiny improvement is necessary: No vertical scrollbar
Submitted by Yoruichi Shihouin on Wed, 2018-06-06 21:17
Thanks for your effort for making this tool.
I just installed it few days ago and was wandering what's inside.
Currently, I'm using Windows 10 64-bit and Eclipse Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a).
Whenever I feel that the codes are horizontally too long, I tend to wrap them using Alt + Shift + Y hotkey.
Then, intuitively, a vertical scrollbar is expected to appear if the load of codes exceeds the screen, however, it did not appear.
At first, I thought, it is Eclipse which might have the problem, but after turning off the tool by changing the option in preference menu, I could see that scrollbar appeared well from inactive gray mode to active mode, for instance.
It would be appreciated if this problem is solved.
I send my gratitude in advance!

HSL settings of Dark Custom Workbench theme are off
Submitted by Marc Jakobi on Mon, 2018-05-28 10:58
In Window --> Preferences --> DevStyle --> Color Themes, I have the Workbench theme set to "Dark Custom".
Normally, HSL(0,0,0) should be pitch black. However, this results in a light brownish grey workbench collor. Setting HSL to (0,0,100) creates the darkest workbench theme. However, it is still not black. It is a (quite ugly) dark brownish grey.
It would be nice to be able to set the HSL values of the Custom Dark workbench theme to a pitch black colour.

Submitted by Tony Weddle on Fri, 2018-06-01 02:11
mjakobi866, thanks for using DevStyle. Yes, a pure black backround is not currently possible. With some OS themes, it may not be possible to see some UI controls (e.g. drop down box arrows) if using pure black. However, we're looking at how best to address this issue. Thanks for reporting it.
How to customize editor theme?
Submitted by Zeta Investigator on Sat, 2018-05-26 10:06

3- How to change the yellow color of comments in darkest dark color theme?
4- The "switch to C/C++ editor" icon (upper right) is labeled to just C++
Re: How to customize editor theme?
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Fri, 2018-06-01 01:32
Thanks for the feedback, zinvestigator.
- This article explains customizations of themes: https://www.genuitec.com/docs/workbench/using-devstyle-themes/
Beyond that, syntax coloring is customizable via editor preferences for the various languages and the default text editor colors. If you'd like something beyond those customizations, please let us know (our support forum is a good place to discuss those requests).
- I see the problem and will raise a bug report.
- Go to Window->Preferences then the "C/C++"/"Editor"/"Syntax Coloring" page. Open the "Comments" node in the "Element" pane, select the type of comment you want to change, then click the colored rectangle to get a color choice dialog and select your color. Click the OK button.
- I'm not sure I understand this issue. Are you referring to the Icon for the C/C++ perspective? If you've opted to no show text for perspectives then you can still hover over the icon to see the text. Yes, the new icon does show only "C++" but then the standard eclipse CDT icon shows only "C", so this may not be what you're referring to.
I hope this helps but if you want to raise new issues or discuss these issues further, please use our support forums, if possible, as this comment section in the MarketPlace is not an ideal space for investigating issues.

Francesco, as I stated earlier in the comments, this is the first popup in 14 months of DevStyle, sent to our users because we strongly believe CodeMix will improve their Eclipse dev experience.
Now typically, a user would see the notification just once, but I realize (from our Twitter conversation) that you are seeing it far more frequently, and I agree this can be frustrating. We will be releasing an update in the next couple of days that will correct this behavior. Thank you for letting us know, and we appreciate your patience.
Re: Please allow the user to deactivate the popup
Submitted by Francesco Muccilli on Tue, 2018-04-24 09:51
Thank you for your answer. I hope that the correction will aim to get rid of popups altogether. I don't think than an IDE could be considered a good place for this kind of notifications. It's disturbing, as we already struggle to avoid popups on web pages.

FHA guidelines 2016 - FHA announced a set of policy changes to strengthen the FHA. The changes announced are the latest in a series of changes enacted in order to better position the FHA to manage its risk while continuing to support the nation's housing market recovery.
The Federal Housing Administration insures FHA loans and did not used to require a minimum credit score. The new FHA policy changes requires a minimum credit score of 580 for 3.5% down payment and anyone purchasing a home with a score lower than 580 will require 10% down payment.
The FHA has taken the following step:
No Credit History
Three lines of credit are necessary to apply for an FHA loan. However, in the event a borrower does not have sufficient credit on their credit report the FHA will allow substitute forms. FHA allows minimum trade lines if you have credit scores.
Late Payments
During an underwriter analysis of borrower credit, the overall pattern of credit behavior is being reviewed rather than isolated cases of slow payments. If a good payment pattern has been maintained, regardless of a specific period of financial difficulty preceded it, the borrower may escape disqualification.
Collection, Judgments, Federal Debts
A collection is minor in nature usually does not need to be paid off as a condition for loan approval. It is stated as such in FHA guidelines. Any judgments will have to be paid in full prior to closing. Borrowers who are delinquent on any federal debt, such as tax liens, student loans, etc., are not eligible.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
At least two years must have elapsed since the discharge date of the borrower and / or spouse's Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, according to FHA guidelines. This is not to be confused with the bankruptcy filing date. A full explanation will be required with the loan application. In order to qualify for an FHA loan, the borrower must qualify financially, have re-established good credit, and have a stable job.
Credit score needed buy house is 500.

Monday night, after I was asleep, my Twitter timeline exploded briefly. Folks out west were unhappy that their iPhones had blasted to life with noisy notifications—alerts that had apparently even ignored their Do Not Disturb settings.
Authorities had issued an Amber Alert after discovering a horrific crime scene and evidence of a potential kidnapping. iOS and other smartphone operating systems have supported Amber Alerts for a while, but they also require carrier support; some carriers only introduced support for those alerts within the past few months.
The immediate reaction to an unexpected notification on your iPhone at nearly 11 p.m. is understandably surprise, annoyance, and maybe even anger. Armed with a little more understanding of why the alerts exist, what they mean, and how you can control them, you'll likely find yourself less agitated the next time one rings out on your phone.
What is an Amber Alert?
Officially, it should be written AMBER Alert; it's a backronym for America's Missing: Broadcasting Emergency Response. But the alerts are originally named for Amber Hagerman, a 9-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered in Texas 17 years ago. The alert system is also known as CAE, for Child Abduction Emergency.
Amber Alerts are issued when police organizations determine that a child abduction has occurred; the alerts include the name and description of the victim, a description of the suspected abductor, and information about the suspect's vehicle when possible.
So, when the police feel that a child has been the victim of an abduction, they send out the Amber alert. Until recently, those alerts were distributed through radio (terrestrial, satellite, and Internet) and broadcast and cable television. Now, in addition, the alerts can get delivered via email, electronic traffic signs, digital billboards, Google, and Facebook. And since January 2013, Amber Alerts are sent through the Wireless Emergency Alerts system (also called the Commercial Mobile Alert System), which allows for the dissemination of emergency messages via cell phones.
That system allows the government to issue three kinds of alerts: Amber Alerts, alerts involving "imminent threats to safety of life," and alerts issued by the President of the United States.
Why you were surprised
The iPhone gained support for the WEA alerts with iOS 6. Carriers aren't required to support the system, but all the major ones do.
The alerts are rare. President Obama hasn't sent any nationwide texts yet, and Amber alerts are localized to the geographic region where the authorities think they can offer the most benefit.
The downside to the alerts is that they are generally accompanied by a startling alert sound, and that they arrive at unpredictable times. Monday's alert made headlines as west coasters were surprised. Just last month, New Yorkers received a similar shock when an Amber Alert sounded just before 4 a.m..
What you should do
The biggest risk is that iPhone owners (and owners of other smartphones with WEA support) will disable Amber Alerts because of the annoyance factor. And yes, you can disable the alerts if you don't want to see (and hear) them: Go to the Settings app, choose Notifications, and scroll all the way down.
Of course, if more people turn them off, Amber Alerts unsurprisingly become less effective. That 4 a.m. Amber Alert in New York led to a tip that led to the capture of the alleged abductor.
It's understandable that the government would want these emergency alerts to be loud and invasive. But given that we're allowed to turn the messages off, perhaps the government and companies like Apple should work to find options to make the alerts more palatable, too. A simple option to use a standard beep instead of a siren sound, or the ability for the alerts to arrive quietly when Do Not Disturb is enabled, could make leaving those alerts turned on far easier for typical iPhone owners, without sacrificing the potential impact the alerts can have.
It also doesn't help that the government's messages via the WEA system are more limited than tweets: They get 90 characters to craft their messages, not enough to include all the relevant details available in an Amber Alert. That's because the system doesn't use the standard SMS approach; it's a special system that's not subject to delays or congestion from other messages.
Those 90 characters result in messages as tightly compressed as a classified ad, and with no link to further information; you're meant to seek out additional details on your own.
It's clear that the system could improve. But you might decide to leave Amber Alerts enabled on your device even before that improvement comes, even if it never does. The Find My iPhone feature doesn't respect your phone's Do Not Disturb setting, either. If it's good enough for your phone, it's good enough for someone else's kid.
