Linksys EA6500 802.11ac router
The Linksys EA6500 is simply the best 802.11ac router currently on the market.
Score 9/10
Review Price £189.00
Unparalleled wireless range
Class leading 802.11n 5GHz performance
A slick & intuitive Cloud platform
Two USB ports
Stylish, subtle design
Still only 4 Ethernet ports
Key Features: Dual band (2.4GHz & 5GHz) 802.11b/g/n/ac; 4x Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB 2.0; 6 internal 3D antennas with high power amplifiers per band; Cisco Connect Cloud platform; Third party apps
Manufacturer: Linksys
The Linksys EA4500 is one of our favourite routers, but we found it lacked one key ingredient: 802.11ac. At the time it was a somewhat unfair criticism since this next generation networking standard had yet to be released, but the fact remained compatible products would be hitting the market in a matter of months. Keeping to that schedule is Cisco itself and now we have the 802.11ac-equipped EA6500 in our hands. Do we have a new class leader? In short: yes.
The first thing we noticed about the EA6500 is it makes no attempt to shout about its headline functionality from the rooftops. The EA line has established a discrete and stylish look and the EA6500 doesn't try to break from that. As such it is only subtly different from the EA4500, keeping the same rectangular (and wall-mountable) shape, while the metallic band down the middle has been widened and slightly sunken into the router to allow for extra ventilation grills. In all the effect makes it look slightly more muscular and powerful than the EA4500, which was clearly the aim.
Cisco has also addressed our biggest complaint about the EA4500, swapping out the moulded plastic feet for proper rubber strips. This isn't rocket science but since the old model's surprisingly pointed hard feet felt capable of scratching or scuffing delicate surfaces, it is welcome.
Aside from the design tweaks, a quick look around the back of the router reveals another welcome change: the inclusion of a second USB port. This remains a frustrating omission from many routers and means you can simultaneously network a printer and an external hard drive. Both are USB 2.0, but this standard is yet to become a bottleneck for such setups. Sadly Linksys hasn't increased the number of Gigabit Ethernet ports, however, so we're left with the usual four. We really would like to see a change here given a PC, games console, digibox and Smart TV alone will occupy all ports and households often have more wired equipment than that.
Despite this, it is inside of the EA6500 where things get interesting. Like the EA4500 this is a dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz router, but with 802.11ac added to the 802.11b/g/n variants. In line with other router makers Linksys quotes the theoretical maximums for these bands (450Mbit on 2.4GHz and 1300Mbit for 802.11ac on 5GHz) but with the inclusion of six internal 3D antennas with high power amplifiers for each band meant our expectations were high and we were not disappointed… This is a sample, read the full review @ TrustedReviews which includes performance results.

A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Want the comforting familiarity of a Big Mac, but the exotic ingredients of a gyro? Mama Gyro's Mama Sauce is eerily similar to the beloved Special Sauce. Slather this mayo-ketchup mixture on Mama's Gyro ($4), a pita that comes stuffed with rotisserie chicken, French fries, onions, and tomatoes.
The creamy sauce moistens and flavors the mild, crisp-edged chicken, and it pairs well with the French fries stuffed into the soft, chewy pita. Though worth nothing: the tomato and onion could stand to have more flavor and crunch, and the large chunks of chicken more closely resembled souvlaki than thinly sliced gyro meat. But despite those flaws, this gyro makes a satisfying small lunch or mid-afternoon snack at a crazy cheap price.
Don't want your gyro to taste like a burger? You can order this gyro with tzatziki instead for a more Greek experience.

MANCHESTER -- Tablets, Mobile Devices and Cloud-Based Services are tools spreading through schools, businesses and communities. UNH Manchester will host a free discussion exploring the two current major technology topics in k-12 schools and universities.
"Computing Showcase in Education" will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. in UNH Manchester's third floor auditorium at 400 Commercial Street. The session is offered as part of UNH Manchester's fall Sidore Lecture Series: "Advances in Technology." The series is funded by the Saul O Sidore Memorial Foundation and coordinated by the Computing Technology Department at UNH Manchester.
How are mobile devices being used in educational organizations? Listen to discussion around specific examples of ways the devices are being used in schools across NH in all grades. What types of projects students use them for, how teachers and staff use them for productivity, and what pros and "challenges" are faced in using mobile devices in our schools. There will also be discussion on how administrators are using them and the types of things being done both with administrators and other education personnel.
What role do Cloud Based Services have with these devices, learning and business? How has the role of mobile devices impacted schools, businesses and state grant projects such as the NH Digital Resource Consortium (NHDRC) to provide training resources to NH districts? And how are cloud-based resources such as Google Docs becoming more prevalent in schools, especially with the increasing use of mobile devices? Panelists will share what they see with Google Docs and other Cloud Based services such as Dropbox and Evernote as well as the pros and challenges schools face using them.
Panelists will include Jennifer Lowton, Technology Integration Specialist and Director of Educational Consultants for Integration, Training and Educator Support, LLC; Jennifer Middaugh, Coordinator at Seacoast Professional Development Center; and Allison Mollica, Technology Integration Specialist with AM Technology in Education.
Funding provided by the Saul O Sidore Memorial Foundation. View the series online, manchester.unh.edu/events.

MR 800 USB Radio full review
PC TV cards sometimes have built-in radio receivers; which is great for desktop PCs but not so good for notebooks. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise - after all, portables aren't always used in environments that are conducive to radio use.
If you are unhappy with this state of affairs, give Avermedia's competitively priced USB radio some consideration. It allows you to get radio on a notebook as well as a PC, by hooking up via a USB key and providing a plug-in radio aerial.
Although you could pick up a portable FM radio for about a fiver, if you so choose, the cunning thing AverMedia has done is to provide a simple plug-in product that can also be used to schedule and record programs in WMA, MP3 and WAV, as well as other formats.
If you've ever set up a TV card, you'll find the process for getting started with the MR 800 pretty similar. Plug it in, slip the antenna and line-out cable (which AverMedia has spliced together to fit in a single jack pin) into the USB key's bulge and the other end of the cable into a line-in port on your PC. Unlike TV cards, though, the MR 800 is a dead cert to work anywhere you'd reasonably expect to get radio reception.
On a notebook you'll probably need to use the microphone input instead, which can affect the sound quality. To get a signal you'll need to stretch out the antenna cable then install the software to initiate channel scanning and set up any timed recordings or playback you wish. Once you've identified your favourite FM stations, you can click on their frequencies to assign them an appropriate name.
MR 800 USB Radio: Specs
- RF input 87.5 to 108MHz FM band
- antenna input via earphone
- earphone output with L/R
- 8x2 LCM display
- 7x25x82mm

Arthur Stevenson
Fred Wagner
Mike Rock
Phil Fellner
Gene Keely
Adolph Marcellino
Just in!
Sea Monster is mentioned in this article from The Villger which documents the show commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Tompkins Square Riots.
Sea Monster also gets a mention in New York Rock: From the Rise of The Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB the new book from Steve Blush. Click the link to get your copy!
"Perpetual outsiders, a band made up of hard working, hard living guys -- what rock n' roll musicians should be."
--The New York Times
[Death, Taxes and Sea Monster is] "biker blues, sounds like The Stooges and Dolls. Thick-neck rock. Very well-produced to give it the fat man's punch, working man, beer drinking punk rock. I really thought these guys should have been on the Mad Max soundtrack."
--Maximum RockNRoll
Sea Monster is the poor man's Motorhead, America's answer to Zodiac Mindwarp.
--The Glass Eye
Sea Monster has performed with The Senders, Iggy Pop, Deborah Harry, Johhny Thunders, The Ramones, Ism, D-Generation, White Zombie, Butthole Surfers, Type-O-Negative, Bad Brains, The Dickies, Living Color, Blues Travelers, Spin Doctors, Monster Magnet, The Fleshtones, The Luna Chicks, etc., etc.
Graduates of the school of hard knocks...face first. Dues paid to the year 3000.
Arthur Stevenson (vocals), Fred Wagner (guitar), and his brother, Barney (bass), had played together in an earlier project. After adding Mike Rock on guitar and Phil Fellner on drums, Sea Monster released Episode 1: Liquid Lunch or Rapture of the Deep? on its own Fear of Money, Ltd. label in 1986. The four tracks on it were "Sex God Chant," "I Came to Dance," "Sex Under Water" "Billy Got A Handgun." The track "Sex God Chant" also appeared on 1987's Sorority Sampler.
Sea Monster was already earning a reputation as an explosive live act playing New York City punk venues like Max's Kansas City.
In 1987, Sea Monster enlisted the help of some friends and self-produced a video for "Sex God Chant," which was filmed in the Brooklyn Water Works at 5am in the morning. Three months later the video debuted on USA's Night Flight program, following Blondie.
Shortly after, vocalist Stevenson was on The Sally Jesse Raphael Show, where he hurled his drink at another guest. Steven H. Weiss, at one time Led Zeppelin's business manager, contacted the band after seeing the TV appearance. Weiss represented Sea Monster for the next three years.
The "Sex Puppet" b/w "That's All" 7" was released in 1988.
By '89, there was a cassette circulating named Sea Monster Sighted! Recorded at Freeport's Right Track Inn, the tape contained live versions of favorites like "Sex God Chant," "Lord of the Flies" and "Dance Monster." By 1990, Sea Monster had become an unofficial "house" band at CBGB and Continental in New York City.
The "Let It Burn" b/w "Oil (the Blood of Dinosaurs)" 12" was released on Fear of Money, Ltd. in 1991.
In 1992, Burn-It Records released Sea Monster's debut full-length, Enduro Bizarro Intacto. In addition to re-recorded versions of "Sex God Chant," "That's All" and "Sex Puppet," the album also contained audience favorites like "Peat Bog (A Malaria Nightmare)" and "Cowboys (The Lamp Cord Strangler)."
Winged Disk Records released the 1993 limited 7" EP We Work For A Living You Paper-Shuffling Prick. The four tracks on it were "Pieces," "Barbecue at Phil's," "Ramming Speed" and "Corpsman." Richie Lure (brother of Walter Lure) was handling bass duties.
In 1996 the Death, Taxes and Sea Monster album came out on Winged Disk. It contained tracks like "Oil Well Driller," "Steve Reeves" and "The World's Smallest Violin."
Adolph Marcellino came on as bassist for the Peter Crowley-produced Psychotronic Roller Boogie Disco Queen Sock It to Me, released on Winged Disk in 2000. In addition to the title track, other favorites include "Standing at the End of the Line" and "Gimme A Beer."
In 2000, Winged Disk released Something In the Water: The Secret History of Long Island Punk, which contained Sea Monster's Liquid Lunch EP and the "Sex Puppet" 7". Other bands represented were Ism, Nihilistics, Jimi LaLumia and the Psychotic Frogs, Dead Virgins and Horror Planet.
In late 2008, Sea Monster submitted a video for "That's All" to Fuse TV's Make A Star battle of the bands reality show, and made it to the contest's final stages.
In 2009, Winged Disk released Livin' On Love...and Other Notes From the Killing Floor, which contains tracks like "Sons of the Pioneers" and "Party For Caesar." The album got a rave in Hustler magazine.
On this site, you'll be about to buy Sea Monster's MUSIC, find out about the latest band NEWS and SHOWS. There's also a MERCH section where you'll find t-shirts, and a PHOTOS section. Follow the link to the band's MYSPACE page, or send an EMAIL.

The Moroccan government continued its practice of targeting journalists and news outlets in connection with their critical coverage of taboo subjects, such as the health of the king or the royal family. One editor of an investigative weekly was convicted of defamation in relation to an article he wrote that said a government minister had drunk alcohol. The editor was fined and handed a two-month suspended prison sentence. Another editor was charged with promoting terrorism under the country's 2003 anti-terrorism law for publishing a link to a video of an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group. After an international outcry by more than 60 free-expression organizations, the editor was released on bail, but he still faces charges. In its annual census conducted on December 1, CPJ documented one journalist behind bars, a decrease from previous years.
At least one journalist was behind bars in Morocco when CPJ conducted its annual prison census on December 1. Mohamed Sokrate, a prominent blogger who had been critical of the monarchy, was arrested in May 2012 and sentenced to two years in prison on charges of drug possession and trafficking, according to reports.
Ali Anouzla, editor of the news website Lakome, was arrested on September 17 and held for more than a month in connection with a news article posted on Lakome in July.
The article referred to a story by the leading Spanish daily El País, which included a direct link to a YouTube video purportedly posted by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, a North African branch of the extremist group. The video criticized Morocco's King Mohamed VI.
Anouzla faced trial for "advocacy of acts amounting to terrorism offenses" and "providing assistance to perpetrators or accomplices of acts of terrorism," according to reports. If convicted, he faced six to 20 years in jail.
Sixty organizations called for Anouzla's release and defended the journalist against the authorities' claim that the article had "advocated terrorism" and "initiated a terrorist act."
On November 20, Anouzla wrote to CPJ, saying he had been released. His trial was continuing in late 2013.
Youssef Jajili, editor-in-chief of investigative weekly Alaan Magazine, was handed fines and a two-month suspended prison sentence in June in connection with a criminal defamation conviction.
Jajili had reported that Abdelkader Amara, minister of manufacture and trade in the current Islamic government, had ordered champagne to his hotel room while on a taxpayer-funded trip outside the country. The official disputed the account. The allegation was embarrassing to the minister because Islam forbids Muslims from drinking alcohol.
Amara denied the accusation and accused Jajili of fabricating the story, news reports said. After Jajili published the hotel bill showing the charges under the official's name, Amara claimed he was not in his room when the charges were incurred, the reports said.
Jajili was charged under the Moroccan Press Law, under which journalists face up to one year in jail and harsh fines if convicted of defamation.
Authorities have used defamation charges to silence independent journalists in the past, CPJ research shows. From 2009 to 2011, several newspapers were targeted in politicized criminal proceedings for criticizing the government or for their coverage of taboo subjects such as the health of the king or the royal family, CPJ research shows.
Morocco is ranked eighth in Internet use among the countries in the Middle East and North Africa, according to the International Telecommunication Union.

I recently returned to my gym for the first time since a gunman opened fire at the shopping center in which my club is located. He killed two people in the parking lot before continuing inside the mall and shooting more people. My gym is on the east side of the mall, and he shot his victims on the west side. Still, I had some qualms about returning, especially since on that sunny Sunday afternoon, I was in the north parking lot of the mall walking into the Target store. I heard the gunman's last six gunshots before he headed inside the mall. Of course, I didn't know that at the time. I just knew that I heard gunshots. I paused and looked around. I didn't see anyone with a gun. I thought the gunshots were coming from north of the mall, so I reasoned that heading inside the Target store would be safer than going back to my car. But when I reached the Target doors, I realized I was wrong. I was almost knocked over by a throng of terrified people running out the doors, screaming that a man was shooting a gun inside the mall.
I made it home safely that afternoon, and a few days later, I decided it was time to venture back into my early morning workout routine at the gym. I skipped the spin class because it's in a small room at the back of the club. I thought, unreasonably, that with the loud music in the room I wouldn't be able to hear a gunman come into the gym. Instead, I walked on the treadmill, glancing at the front door on occasion, wondering where the emergency exit at the back of the gym led. I also wondered if the staff at the gym knew what to do if someone came into the facility with a gun. I wondered what they had done on that day, so I spoke with a manager at the club about it. He said they had not been aware of the incident until mall security arrived and told them to shut down the club.
I bring this up not because I think that gunmen are going to suddenly invade gyms across the country. Your members will more likely pull their Achilles tendon or drop a free weight on their toes than be shot at your club. However, with the tragic mass shooting at Virginia Tech and the experience in my neighborhood, I think it's only reasonable that fitness facility owners have a plan in place for emergencies of all kinds. I hope that you already have a plan for how to handle tornadoes, earthquakes, fires and heart attacks. If you don't, I urge you to create a plan and practice it with your staff.
To that list of emergencies, I suggest that you add handling unexpected disturbances from a would-be gunman, a purse snatcher or a robber. Believe it or not, I know of a gym where the front desk was held up many years ago. Fortunately for the club owner, many of his members were law enforcement officers, and a few of them deterred the robber by pulling their service revolvers from their gym bags. However, not every club can count on members to aid them — nor should they. Instead, club staff should be the "heroes" and provide direction and support to members during emergencies. They can only do that if they have a plan and know how to carry it out. Preparation is key to professionalism, good service and making your members feel safe.
I realize that the probability of some disturbed individual creating chaos in your club is low. But then again, the probability of a beautiful Sunday afternoon trip to the mall getting disrupted by a gunman was low, too. It happens. We need to be prepared.

ScaredOfTheMan, 30 Oct 2006 @ 3:33amJust tell me why he can't sue? Someone please explain to me, why the victim of Identity Theft, or Incorrect info cannot sue this company (for negligence or slander or something)?
I recalled reading the fact the identity theft victims were not able to sue, since they had no direct contract or relationship with the Data collection agency.

Can't sue the datbase companiesAren't they responsible for the accuracy of their product? Wouldn't fall under some sort of faulty product law. Or is the data sold with a disclaimer that says it could be incorrect. If that is the case then how can the data ever be used to do background check and imprison people?

The incident with the Security Guard was in the Spring of 2005 - it would be interesting to see if he won any damages
unfortunately, fear of lawsuits can sometimes be the only motivating factor for companies to clean up their acts
CP Employee, 30 Oct 2006 @ 5:13am
Re: Did He Sue ChoicepointYes, I'm biased. Yes, you probably hate the company I work for. Yes, they screwed up big-time.....almost a year and a half ago and have paid for it. There was the public cost in the FTC fine, and the non-obvious cost in outlays to comply with the rest of the FTC order as well as the internal changes that have taken place to go above and beyond said order.
Given that this "story" is focusing on an event over a year old (see link above), aren't you just doing the same thing CP did by not following up?
Mike, 30 Oct 2006 @ 5:28am
Re: Re: Did He Sue ChoicepointYes and this kind of negligence is not just a "mistake" it destroyed the guys life, and your company should be forced to close, as it obviously cannot be trusted with anyones information, the fact that it was a year and a half ago is irrelevant, just more proof that citizens have far less rights in the US than companies do, and democracy has been dead for years. Might as well move to China.
CP Employee, 30 Oct 2006 @ 9:00am
Re: Re: Re: Did He Sue ChoicepointClose down the company and put over 4000 people out of work because of an admittedly large mistake? Heck, even call it a series of mistakes. Does that still mean that a greater number of people should lose their jobs than were actually affected by the mistake?
Should we shut down AOL because they released search information that allowed individuals to be identified and tracked down? Since how long ago something happened is irrelevant, should we shut down McNeil Pharmaceuticals because they didn't have good enough security in place to prevent someone from adding Cyanide to Tylenol resulting in consumer deaths? Since you seem determined to shut down a company when one person's life is "destroyed", how about every company who unjustly or illegally fires an employee. How about every company that fails to protect it's employees from harassment? The list of examples is near infinite.
You say that Mr. Calderon's life was destroyed, but when did that actually occur? In searching for additional information to see something other than "spent a week in jail", I found this article at eWeek: Garbage In, Garbage Out of Control
According to that one, the week in jail was back in January of 2002. Now we're talking about an incident over four and a half years ago. At what point do we stop just blindly accepting what is posted on the 'Net as fact and actually doing some research? In my searching, I never did see any follow-up on Mr. Calderon. What happened after the week in jail? Is he currently employed? Did he sue CP? Like I said before - how about a little follow-up?

Do you seriously think 4000 people's jobs are worth being thrown in prison, marked as a child molester and very likely made someone's bi-atch?
I don't necessarily agree that the business should be closed, bu that statement blows my mind.
You, sir, have placed far too little value on the dignity of the Human Being.
Sure, 4,000 folks without jobs sucks. At least they can get new jobs. Kinda hard to do that bent over Bubba in prison, eh?

it's been a few years since the dot com crash, so my experience may be a little out of date, but when i was laid off there was very little chance of getting raped and/or shanked in the unemployment line. being an accused child molestor in prison is another issue.

CP Employee, 30 Oct 2006 @ 2:55pm
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Did He Sue Choicepoint
Funny, I had a pretty bad experience when I was laid off in 2001- Lost my car
- Lost my house
- Had no medical coverage and couldn't go to the doctor when I got the flu (no free clinics in the area)
- Lost 50 lbs due to not enough money for food (20 lbs UNDERweight)
- Almost lost my wife and kids
In a way, CP saved my life by offering me a nice job in an area where I could do the work. Yes, they took a chance on me as I was a credit risk, but I had the skills they needed at the time and have proven myself a valuable employee. So, yes, I didn't get a shiv in the back or make any nice friends in the shower, but I wouldn't exactly call unemployment a walk in the park.
It's easy for any of us to say "It was only a week" or "Just get a new job", but until you actually walk a mile in someone else's shoes, you really have no idea how bad it could be. Could CP have had better policies and procedures in place 4 1/2 years ago when this happened? Yes. Could the police department that did the arresting have done a better job of checking their facts? Yes. Could Fry's have done a better job of handling the results of the background check? Yes.
Also, please don't confuse what I post as a complete defense for the company. I agree with the fact that they passed on incorrect information. However, does anyone have any idea where they GOT that information? Maybe the source is the problem. How about the police department that arrested Mr. Calderon? Did they bother to check his story? It would be nice to have many more facts than just the ones that make for a good story.

Re: Did He Sue Choicepoint3 years out of work. No prison time. Your company sucks and should have been shut down. Since that didn't happen each and every victim of your company should be able to collect for damages. Not sue because fault has already been shown - just collect.

a simple fixThe simple fix would be to codify something to the tune of a $!0,000 fine for each error, plus damages.
As to the comment about not following up - what did CP do to fix the problem? Do they have a time machine to travel back and make it right? You can't fix the fact the guy spent a weekend in jail.
We are assuming that the error had been fixed in the database police use as well. If not, then the department that left his name there should be on the proverbial hook as well. Though honestly, I think that the department detaining him over a weekend should have some liability here as well.

The lion's denMr. CP Employee,
The story of Daniel and the Lions Den only worked due to two things:
1) He wasn't given a choice before being thrown into the den. (God doesn't intervene and save your rear if you're just trying to be a hero.)
2) He didn't get eaten. (Otherwise, the story probably wouldn't be in the bible at the least.)
Your problem sir is that - regardless of the age of this story - you have voluntarily jumped into the lion's den. Should you now be eaten alive, where should we send your old IP address?
To be honest, I don't believe anything I read online anyway, and typically I give more weight to stories which themselves say "this story may be false and totally incorrect, but as we understand it..." so I myself would never trust your site, even if it had not had these issues. I mean, we're talking about a person's entire life. Did it ever occour to you that maybe this security guard got the job he has because he's trying to do something for the greater good after falling victim to Identity Theft himself? Did it occour to you that maybe that entire spirit of "I can't fix my problem, but I can keep others from having it!" might be the sole reason this man got a job as a security guard? Perhaps this person might have a terrible mental relapse of some kind now. I mean, if he hasn't sued you, he certainly should. Yes, I'm biased due to my own mother being a lawyer, and that may make them hate me or my mother (sorry, I don't work for her, so I can't match your line exactly) but I can tell you that it's a good thing she does corperate law and that this stuff didn't occour in Alabama 5 years ago, or else somebody in the state senate (likely on your company's payroll) would need to introduce some new lawsuit caps.
Insult to injury? Nah, I think more like rubbing the insult in the poor man's face before injuring him then sticking the insult in the fresh wound.
In any case, give Techdirt a year to follow up on the story. It took them a year to publish it, so give them a year to correct it. After all, nobody would expect your company to correct something in less than a year after you got it wrong, now would they?
CP Employee, 30 Oct 2006 @ 9:14am
Re: The lion's den
Actually, I guess I should give them four and a half years to follow up. See my reply above.
As for the lion's den, I expected that. I get this sort of reaction frequently. I take solace in the fact that I was not an employee until after even the aticle linked in this thread and was not part of the problem. I do what I can to point out where problems can arise and even though I just work at a subsidiary, do what I can to make things better.

Trouble Maker, 30 Oct 2006 @ 7:47am
two cents worthIf an arrest is culminated due to the information that is provided by a database and the information is incorrect, two actions should take place; first the Law Enforcement Agency that acted on the information without verification with another source is just as guilty as a company that maintains a database that contains incorrect data. Second; the company that maintains the data has to be held responsible for the information they maintain.
It is a matter of libel. Just as the National Tabloids are accountable for the UN-truths that they perpetuate, and this holds true for you and I, so they must be held accountable for their actions.
Imagine a Bank not being held responsible for the account database.
Or your phone company, not being held responsible for their data bases and just charging customers whatever they feel like it.
Yet, when a SPAM company in Illinois gets pissed off at a Spam Shield reporting company in the UK can be sued for the data in their database, then we have to hold everyone accountable.
CP Employee, 30 Oct 2006 @ 9:28am
Re: two cents worth
Actually, this is a well thought out argument and, to be honest, I agree. If a company libels you (even if I do work for them), they should be accountable just as John Q. Public could be held accountable. The drawback is that chances are high-priced lawyers have to get involved. For his sake, I hope Mr. Calderon found a contingency lawyer to represent him if he did decide to go this route.
anna, 30 Oct 2006 @ 8:08am
Good thing he didn't get sent to LA JailIf the guy had been sent to LA County Jail, chances are he would have ended up dead. The worst thing that can happen to a man is to be charged and jailed on a charge of rape or child molestation, because inmates have their own code of moral conduct. F--- Choicepoint. They've ruin people's lives with their greed and incompetence.

balek, 30 Oct 2006 @ 10:24am
dig a littleDid a small bit of googling and found this: Calderon filed suit against Fry's over the incident. He was in the awkward position of having to prove he was a different Steve Calderon than the one who fellow employees said, according to court documents, had committed rape and child molestation.
Fry's and Calderon settled. But has the judge or any lawyer tried to protect this Calderon from the eyes of the "other" Calderon? Or prevent reuse of his personal information by anyone else?
No. Quite the contrary. On file, open to the public, is Calderon's California driver's license, Social Security card and a cancelled check, with the routing code for drawing money out of his bank account

CP Employee, 30 Oct 2006 @ 10:45am
Since I'm in the update...
Before I get mis-quoted some more let me state some points here:- I was not an employee of CP prior to the admission of the data breach
- I am not an official representative for the company
- I AM a little dismayed to see people focus on the past rather than the present, but understand that this is a sensitive area
- I comment when I see statements or comments that imply to me that someone has not thought the issue through and is only reacting to part of the story
- Am willing to take whatever flaming I will get as a result of my employment as long as people are willing to accept that there are always multiple sides to a story - something I see forgotten a lot when dealing with sensitive issues
All that being said, I feel that CP has come a long way since early 2005. For those asking about the details of the FTC order, check the FTC site. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about the details or not, so I err on the side of job preservation... :-)
sezlez, 30 Oct 2006 @ 12:53pm

Nobody Special, 30 Oct 2006 @ 7:17pm
CP responsibilityThe problem was not that CP received bad information. The problem is that CP (and others in the business) often fail to include all relevant detail. For instance, in this case, they failed to maintain that the guy had been the victim of identity theft.
But they are quite guilty of including information they should not. For instance, they routinely include information about charges having been brought even after a person is acquitted of said charges. And the reason is quite simple - they answer to the people who want them to carry dirt. It is better for them to give a falsely negative report then a folsely positive report. And so they will error on the siade of negative whenever possible.

Re: CP responsibilityIn the past or not, a mistake of this caliber inside the intelligence community would have seen investigaotrs, factcheckers, and their supervisors jobless and prpbably short one security clearance.
Information in exchange for money is rarely accurate. and I fail to see how any of these companies benifit anyone but themselves.
There are many companies that will accuratley collect information for private companies, for failure to do so would cost them government contracts. Quite unlike a company that would release sensitive information to nigerian criminals.
rabble, 2 Nov 2006 @ 10:08am
why he can't sueI may be wrong, but i believe there are some law suit protection laws around this stuff which were passed in the last few years. He can't sue because the credit agencies have managed to get an act of congress to protect themselves.

If you've ever been afraid that you've already popped one too many advils, but the pain still hasn't gone away, an Israeli medical company is offering a less medicated version of relief in the form of ultrasound. NanoVibronix' PainShield MD, which just received FDA clearance to be marketed in the U.S., uses therapeutic ultrasound waves to treat pain and encourage soft tissue healing.
The PainShield, which works by emitting ultrasonic waves through a disposable patch placed on the patient's skin, is one of the first pocket-sized versions of ultrasound emitters and its backers are hoping that patients will pick it up because it's portable and easy to use. Though ultrasound therapy sounds a little hippy-dippy, apparently it's been around for decades and can be highly effective for certain types of sprains and aches. No price yet, but it should be coming to doctors offices near you soon. [NanoVibronix]

Last week, the New York Times published a rather indignant article on how GE paid no US taxes in 2010 despite earning $5.1 billion in US income; "In fact," says the New York Times, "GE claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion". I found the article rather messy and underwhelming--what does it mean that they "claimed a tax benefit"?--and its main point seems to be the rather extraordinary position that GE has a moral obligation to maximize the taxes it pays. The author seems to think it's outrageous--outrageous!--that GE has a lot of people in its tax department who spend a lot of time trying to minimize the company's taxes. Many paragraphs are devoted to this, to no obvious point, including a ludicrous quote from Len Burman:
"In a rational system, a corporation's tax department would be there to make sure a company complied with the law," said Len Burman, a former Treasury official who now is a scholar at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. "But in our system, there are corporations that view their tax departments as a profit center, and the effects on public policy can be negative."
This is, of course, exactly what the tax department does--ensure that they pay the minimum of taxes while complying with the law. I am quite sure that neither Mr. Burman nor Mr. Kocieniewski refuse, as a matter of conscience, to take the deductions to which they are entitled, and they almost certainly pay someone or some company to ensure that they're . . . um, paying the least possible taxes while in compliance with the law. And they're not under basically continual audit. Fantasizing about a world in which corporations behave more generously than Mr. Burman and Mr. Kocieniewski doesn't seem either fair or realistic.
His complaints about lobbying are on firmer ground. I don't like the fact that GE lobbies aggressively on tax rules, and I certainly wish that Congress would not oblige them by passing bad laws that benefit GE. On the other hand, the author of the article takes it as obvious that any law which benefits GE must ipso facto be a bad law. So a publication which has not, in the past, been particularly hostile to green energy tax credits is suddenly outraged that GE has lobbied in support of them. (GE sells wind turbines, which were, last time I looked, squarely within the standard definition of green energy). I mean, I'm against green energy tax credits and all--but you can't simultaneously think that this sort of egregious government meddling is okay in the service of the environment, and also think that it's wrong for GE to lobby in favor, or benefit from selling the stuff. If it's good for the environment, we want companies to benefit from selling more stuff! Moreover, I am under the impression that these tax credits go to people who buy wind turbines, not people who make them--in other words, that this particular tax credit boosts GE's sales, not reduces its taxes, which is the ostensible subject of the article.
And while the author gives paragraphs and paragraphs to complaints that we don't do enough to tax foreign earnings, he offers only the weakest and least convincing counterarguments. Of course, he doesn't even consider that this is an argument against the corporate income tax.
So I was rather skeptical of the factoid about GE's freedom from taxes. First of all, the definition is as muddy as the article: what are "US taxes"? US federal income taxes? Because I'm quite sure that GE paid some payroll tax, various fuel taxes, etc. And no matter how good their tax department, I'm pretty sure it didn't work GE's personal liability below zero.
GE Capital lost billions in the financial crisis, which I assumed gave them a nice, fat, NOL carryforward to lessen their tax burden in future years. And I am unaware of any good arguments against at least moderate allowances for loss carryovers--corporate income is frequently much lumpier than personal income, and the tax code should allow for that. The article gives brief mention to the losses, but curiously, does not quantify how they might have contributed to GE's lower tax bill even though I'm sure GE would have provided those numbers. The treatment of the losses, moreover, is confusingly opaque, and rather buried.
But Henry Blodget goes head to head with the GE press office and comes out believing that it's worse than that: the New York Times is simply wrong.
GE was, in fact, "spinning" when it said it "paid significant federal income tax in 2010." AND the New York Times was flat-out wrong.
GE was spinning because the taxes paid were just payments on a tax bill that has yet to be calculated--similar to the withholdings that individuals have taken out of their paychecks that are often followed by an end-of year refund. And the New York Times was wrong because, even leaving aside the income tax issue, there is simply no way that GE's US tax bill in 2010 can be fairly described as being "none." GE paid many different kinds of US taxes in 2010--state, local, payroll, etc.--and, according to Eisele, its 2010 income tax bill (which still has yet to be determined) is likely to be positive.
So is it fair to say that GE does everything in its power to pay as little taxes as possible and does a very good job of paying a shockingly small amount relative to its huge profits? Yes. But it is not fair to say that GE's 2010 US tax bill was "none."
Whatever criticisms have been leveled at Mr. Blodget's work as an equity analyst, I'm quite positive that he knows how to read a financial statement. And having gone through his exchange, I don't see any way around it: the lede of the New York Times story simply cannot be reconciled with what GE is saying. Either GE is lying, or the New York Times is going to have to publish a correction.

CMON monitors all events and information that you can get from MySQL Cluster.
Some of the things that CMON monitors:
- Cluster status (starting, started, stopped, recovering, degraded etc)
- Data node status (started, stopped, starting etc)
- Application (mysqld) node status (connected/disconnected)
- DataMemory/IndexMemory/Tablespace utilization
- Statistics from data nodes
- Statistics from mysql servers
- Replication (basic currenty) support -picks up if a mysql server is a slave and checks if is running or not
- Alarm generation
CMON uses the Management API to collect information from MySQL Cluster and puts this information in a MySQL database, so it can be queried using SQL. This makes it very easy to write scripts around it and there are some sample scripts on the CMON web page.
# Get the status of Cluster for cluster with clusterid=1:If you want you can also view the Cluster from a web interface (requires PHP), and you can get graphs using RRD.
root@centos4-1 bin]# ./get_cluster_status.sh --clusterid=1
# Get the list of node ids for type NDBD so that we can iterate over them easily.
[root@centos4-1 bin]# ./get_node_ids.sh --clusterid=1 -t NDBD
3 4
# Get the status of the node 3
[root@centos4-1 bin]# ./get_node_status.sh --clusterid=1 --nodeid=3
Installation is very simple, just run the cmon_install.sh script that is part of the package which will ask you a number of questions and write a configuration file.

I'm having problems using child windows inside child windows. Thre creation works, but the window doesn't respond to any interaction. What I'm trying to do is a main window which has several child windows (like files, kinda) which have 1 text edit child window each. If I create the text edit as a normal window, or as a child to the main window it works fine, but when I create it as a child to a child window it doesn't work at all. Is this not even possible to do?
Code://Sets the text window styles Style = WS_BORDER | WS_CAPTION | WS_SIZEBOX | WS_SYSMENU | WS_VISIBLE; Style |= WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX; Style |= WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS; //Sets the starting location StartWidth = 300; StartHeight = 200; StartX = 10; StartY = 10; //Creates the text window TempWindow = CreateWindowEx(0, TextWindowClassName, "Unnamed", Style, StartX, StartY, StartWidth, StartHeight, MainWindow, NULL, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL); //Aborts on creation failure if(TempWindow == NULL) { Magos::Error.SetMessage("Unable to create text window!"); return FALSE; } //Sets the text edit styles Style = ES_MULTILINE | ES_WANTRETURN | ES_LEFT | WS_VISIBLE; Style |= WS_CHILD | WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL; //Creates the text edit TempTextWindow.TextEdit = CreateWindowEx(0, "EDIT", "Testing...", Style, 0, 0, StartWidth, StartHeight, TempWindow, reinterpret_cast<HMENU>(TextEditId), GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);

Microsoft and Amazon.com have signed a wide-ranging patent cross-licensing agreement that provides each company with access to the other's patent portfolio. Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but it was made clear that Amazon will be paying Microsoft an undisclosed amount of money as part of the arrangement. While Microsoft wouldn't say which of its products and technologies Amazon is interested in, Microsoft did mention that Amazon's Kindle, which employs open source and proprietary software components, as well as Amazon's use of Linux-based servers are covered.
Neither company would officially disclose why the deal was struck today. "We are pleased to have entered into this patent license agreement with Amazon.com," Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft's corporate vice president and deputy general counsel for Intellectual Property and Licensing, said in a statement. "Microsoft's patent portfolio is the largest and strongest in the software industry, and this agreement demonstrates our mutual respect for intellectual property as well as our ability to reach pragmatic solutions to IP issues regardless of whether proprietary or open source software is involved."
It's possible that Amazon agreed to signing the deal to avoid patent-infringement lawsuits from Microsoft. The mention of Kindle and Linux is not likely to be coincidental: the software giant has put extensive work into tablets and e-readers of various form factors and has previously claimed that Linux infringes on its patented technologies, although it has never specified which patents it believes the Linux stack and kernel violate (the software giant did sue GPS maker TomTom over the FAT file format). The companies may have decided to shake hands in these areas but their biggest competitive space will likely remain the cloud: Windows Azure versus Amazon EC2.
Microsoft says it has reached more than 600 licensing agreements since launching its intellectual-property licensing program in December 2003.

With mid-priced collections as upscale-looking and lavishly detailed as those on the New York runways for fall, who needs to pay top dollar for fashion?
So much of the excitement during the New York Fashion Week shows that wrapped up on Thursday was about the so-called advanced contemporary category of labels that cost less than high-end designer collections without sacrificing style. Among those creating a buzz: Rag & Bone, Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Helmut Lang, Theyskens Theory and even the J. Crew Collection. (The entry price for advanced contemporary collections is about $295, and the most expensive pieces are around $1,000, which is closer to the entry price for high-end designer collections.)
"These are the designers of the future," says Stephanie Solomon, fashion director of Bloomingdale's. "When you think of the old guard, of Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren, as much as I respect them, they are not spring chickens anymore. These designers are going to usurp them. And they are making clothes with beautiful quality, innovative fabrics and silhouettes. In the future, I envision an entire level of our store based on these up-and-coming, talented designers."
These more affordable, accessible lines offer head-to-toe dressing, with accessories and outerwear. And they hit on all of the trends seen this week, including sleek, minimalist tailoring; Asian influences; black-and-white graphic schemes; and bright color-blocking. Key pieces for a fall wardrobe? A pair of statement pants in a colorful jacquard or print and with a tapered silhouette, worn over a pair of pumps (Manolo Blahnik for J. Crew perhaps?); a shift dress or a pencil skirt that hits below the knee; and a fun swing coat or fur accessory in an eye-catching texture and hue.
We saw the return of the suit (albeit a nontraditional sort of suit), including the camel and cream color-blocked karate jacket belted over trousers at 3.1 Phillip Lim, the wrap-front blazer and black jeans at Helmut Lang, and the pink schoolboy blazer and pants at J. Crew. In addition, sweater dresses made a comeback at Kimberly Ovitz and the Rachel Zoe Collection.
The J. Crew Collection, which is slightly more expensive than the basic J. Crew offerings, is the chain store's version of advanced contemporary. And it is looking darn good.
Creative director Jenna Lyons and head woman's designer Tom Mora have ratcheted up the sophistication level, offering more tailored looks in edgier fabrics. Nordic sweaters topped tinsel tweed, python or pleated-leather skirts, and pants in metallic jacquards or scarf-print silks were paired with the pointy-toed Manolo Blahniks. Color-blocked clutches and totes trimmed in curly lamb fur rounded out the picture.
Burch's collection was more polished than ever, full of ladylike, embroidered tweed jackets and skirts, tulle and chiffon dresses with organza flower appliques, crinkled leather jackets and structured frame bags with plastic paillette and tortoise details.
There was a lot of eye candy — rows of pearls on the collar and cuffs of a cardigan jacket and matching pencil skirt with organza eyelet hem, jeweled flower buttons on a gold lamé coat and sequins dusting a houndstooth plaid skirt.
Rag & Bone designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville are also proving to be a formidable force on the New York fashion scene. Their fall collection was English countryside-meets-the-Raj, with layers upon layers of rich-looking pieces, including motorcycle jacket-tailcoat hybrids, jersey dhoti pants, tweed wrap skirts and coppery Lurex knit sweaters, plus all the must-have accessories (such as herringbone platform riding boots) that keep fans coming back to the brand.
Stylist-turned-designer Rachel Zoe was inspired by the London rock 'n' roll scene of the late 1960s, and her collection was a balance of the glam and the wearable, with all the Hollywood entrance-making maxi dresses and shaggy faux furs that fans have come to expect from Zoe, alongside flared trouser suits and velvet tuxedos, gaucho jeans and melange sweater dresses.
Zoe's line is barely a year old, but is well on its way to being a success. Come fall, it will be in 300 stores. Another advanced contemporary star is born.

Tis the season to get your sparkle on, and just like all good things (read chocolate and holiday damage), the trick is moderation. We're not a big fan of loud shimmery or glittery ensembles. We prefer to add a touch of it through shoes, scarves or accessories, and our favorite—makeup.
Not sure if you've heard or not, but Pantone has pronounced emerald as the color of the year for 2013. So if you're shopping for holiday makeup, why not choose fashion-forward hues to match this beautiful shade? We're thinking blush pinks, lilacs and bold purples. And of course you can still keep your classics.
That's why we prepared a short list targeting eyes, lips and nails with how-tos!
1. The eyes have it: If you're a fan of smoky eyes, we recommend glitter instead of the regular grays and silvers. Gold, silver or any metallic hue should do the trick— we love the "Mini Glitter Liner Set" by Sephora, a steal for $15.
We're also in love with this Laura Mercier Baked Eye Color that can be worn wet or dry. It's called "the Black Karat".
If you're wearing a shimmery top or dress, don't make the eyes too dramatic. We recommend colored eye shadow paled out so there are no clashes. If you're eyes are doing the talking, lighten up in the lips department to keep things ultra feminine. Prestige Cosmetics also has mineral, shimmer and color compatible trios available. Check out the emerald one since that's going to be the next "it" color.
2. Luscious lips: From where we see it, there are only two choices—bold shades or sexy, feminine pastel pouts. It all depends on your outfit for the evening. If you are the minimalist (that we like to be) and don't want to deviate from that track, the best way to make an impact without being obvious is picking simple colors in clean silhouettes. Then, go for bold lips to complement your outfit. Have shiny lips if you will, but mattes can be dramatic too. Nars has Andy Warhol inspired glosses and we absolutely love the raspberry one called "Penny Arcade."
Classicists will rejoice when they see Givenchy's "Rouge Interdit Satin" Lipstick. A good choice if you have too much of a sparkly thing going on with your clothes. It keeps things simple.
If you do shiny lips to complement smoky colors, that's not a bad option. Sephora has a few limited edition gloss sets that can get you a good bang for your buck. We're loving the Korres' Volume II set.
3. Nail it: Like cheesy holiday sweaters, you're allowed to have cheesy holiday nails. Want a Candy Cane mani? See DIY here. Sephora also has a lot of glittery options for the taking. OPI has a good red set for the traditional type.
You can also keep things simple by using Sally Hansen gel strips. They also have the Gem Crush line for different shades of shimmer.
Local beauty store GBS also has a "gold" Zoya gift set available (the top coat is made out of real 18k gold), Butter London "Lips and Tips" set, and some shimmer by Deborah Lippmann.
But do you know which is our absolute favorite? It's Chanel's Diwali – we love the subtle gold. Secret Santa, we hope you're listening!
Happy shopping!

A Build System for Complex Projects: Part 1
A Build System for Complex Projects: Part 2
A Build System for Complex Projects: Part 3
A Build System for Complex Projects: Part 4
A Build System for Complex Projects: Part 5
This is the fourth article in a series of articles that explore an innovative build system for complicated projects. Part 1 and Part 2 discussed build systems in general and the internals of the ideal build system that can integrate with existing build systems. Part 3 discussed in detail how to the ideal build system works with the NetBeans IDE and can generate its build files. This article will do the same for Microsoft Visual Studio.
Generating the Visual Studio build System
As you recall, Isaac the development manager became a true Invisible Build System (ibs) convert after seeing ibs in action. He gave Bob the mandate to use ibs on Windows to build the company's top-secret project: "Hello World - Enterprise Platinum Edition". The Windows developers of the company sweat by Visual Studio. Visual C++ supports a makefile-like build environment via the NMAKE tool, but it is not very common. Visual Studio provides both an IDE-based build environment for C/C++ projects as well as several alternatives for automated builds from the command line (vcbuild.exe, Visual Studio automation and extensibility object model, direct invocation of devenv.exe). The build files shared by all these approaches (except NMAKE) are the project and the solution. There is one project file per logical project and it encapsulates all the information about a project (same as the Makefile + nbproject directory of NetBeans). The solution is a collection projects and it corresponds the project group of NetBeans.
Figure 1 shows the Visual Studio IDE with the various Hello World projects organized in folders (apps, dlls, hw, and test).
The Visual Studio build System Anatomy
The Visual Studio build files are considerably simpler then NetBeans. There is a single project file, which is a pretty straight forward XML file and there is a solution file, which uses (unfortunately) a proprietary text format. Figure 2 shows the project properties page for the hello_world application. There many many options and settings in GUI and most of them have default values. The project file contains only the settings that differ from the defaults (and settings that don't have defaults and must be specified). The format of the .vcproj file is documented here.
Project file (.vcproj)
The entire build information for a project is stored in a single file. Let's examine the project file for the main hello_world application. I'll analyze it section by section. It all starts with an XML 1.0 tag to indicate it is an XML file and then there is a VisualStudioProject element with various attributes. The important ones are the project type (Visual C++), the version (9.00 for VC++ 2008), the name ("hello_world") and the ProjectGUID, which uniquely identifies this project.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <VisualStudioProject ProjectType="Visual C++" Version="9.00" Name="hello_world" ProjectGUID="{88AD54BE-4316-4DFB-965E-4369A2910DF8}" RootNamespace="hello_world" Keyword="Win32Proj" TargetFrameworkVersion="0" >
The next section is the platforms section, which determines the target platforms. In this case just Win32:
<Platforms> <Platform Name="Win32" /> *</Platforms>
There is an empty ToolFiles element. This element can point to custom build rules files. It is straightforward to use custom build rules from the IDE, but doing it programmatically is not documented very well (try this if you must). This capability can be added easily to ibs in a cross-platform way via a callback mechanism where ibs will call back a provided function before/after building each project.
<ToolFiles> </ToolFiles>
The Configurations element is a collection of Configuration elements. Each configuration element contains a list of Tool elements where each tool is a program that participates in the build process. The most common and important ones are the compiler and linker. Here is the Debug configuration. The Release configuration is very similar:
<Configurations> <Configuration Name="Debug|Win32" OutputDirectory="Debug" IntermediateDirectory="Debug" ConfigurationType="1" > <Tool Name="VCPreBuildEventTool" /> <Tool Name="VCCustomBuildTool" /> <Tool Name="VCXMLDataGeneratorTool" /> <Tool Name="VCWebServiceProxyGeneratorTool" /> <Tool Name="VCMIDLTool" /> <Tool Name="VCCLCompilerTool" Optimization="0" AdditionalIncludeDirectories=".;../..;../../../3rd_party/include/win32/" PreprocessorDefinitions="WIN32;_DEBUG;_CONSOLE" MinimalRebuild="true" BasicRuntimeChecks="3" RuntimeLibrary="1" UsePrecompiledHeader="0" WarningLevel="3" Detect64BitPortabilityProblems="true" DebugInformationFormat="4" /> <Tool Name="VCManagedResourceCompilerTool" /> <Tool Name="VCResourceCompilerTool" /> <Tool Name="VCPreLinkEventTool" /> <Tool Name="VCLinkerTool" LinkIncremental="2" AdditionalLibraryDirectories="..\..\..\3rd_party\lib\win32" IgnoreAllDefaultLibraries="false" IgnoreDefaultLibraryNames="" GenerateDebugInformation="true" SubSystem="1" TargetMachine="1" /> <Tool Name="VCALinkTool" /> <Tool Name="VCManifestTool" /> <Tool Name="VCXDCMakeTool" /> <Tool Name="VCBscMakeTool" /> <Tool Name="VCFxCopTool" /> <Tool Name="VCAppVerifierTool" /> <Tool Name="VCPostBuildEventTool" /> </Configuration> <Configuration Name="Release|Win32" OutputDirectory="Release" IntermediateDirectory="Release" ConfigurationType="1" > ... </Configuration> </Configurations>
The References element may contain references to other projects that the current project depends on. The referenced projects will be built before the current project. This is mostly critical for static libraries that need to be linked into an executable or DLL. But, there is also an alternative way of specifying dependencies through the solution file. The same project may belong to multiple solutions (possibly with different references/dependencies). Using the References element in the .vcproj file is not as flexible, but keeps the dependencies with the rest of the project metadata. In this case, I chose to capture the dependencies in the solutions file, so the references element is empty.
<References> </References>
The Files element simply contains all the project files. There are several filters like Header Files, Resource Files and Source Files. The filters are mostly important for user interface purposes because the different file types are grouped into folders based on the filter. For building purposes the compiler needs to know what extension to use for source files, because these are the files that are actually compiled (header files are always #included by some source file). Files can be specified using relative path or absolute path. It is almost always better to use relative paths, so the same project file can be used in different locations by different users. Also, with ibs every project file resides under the project directory.
<Files> <Filter Name="Header Files" Filter="h;hpp;hxx;hm;inl;inc;xsd" UniqueIdentifier="{93995380-89BD-4b04-88EB-625FBE52EBFB}" > <File RelativePath=".\another_file.hpp" > </File> </Filter> <Filter Name="Resource Files" Filter="rc;ico;cur;bmp;dlg;rc2;rct;bin;rgs;gif;jpg;jpeg;jpe;resx" UniqueIdentifier="{67DA6AB6-F800-4c08-8B7A-83BB121AAD01}" > </Filter> <Filter Name="Source Files" Filter="cpp;c;cc;cxx;def;odl;idl;hpj;bat;asm;asmx" UniqueIdentifier="{4FC737F1-C7A5-4376-A066-2A32D752A2FF}" > <File RelativePath=".\another_file.cpp" > </File> <File RelativePath=".\main.cpp" > </File> </Filter> </Files>
The Globals element allows definition of global objects. I'm not sure what are they and how they are supposed to be used. I never had the need for any global object. ibs simply generates an empty Globals element:
<Globals> </Globals>
Finally, the closing tag of the .vcproj file:
