"Distributing a program to users without freedom mistreats those users" (his definition of the quality of freedom associated with software being that of allowing actions as required by his four freedoms)
"If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the "owner" of the program, that controls the program—and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power."
-- https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-...important.html
There are some problems of overwrought language with the second statement and maybe it's debatable how powerless or without choice a buyer of proprietary software is. But even taking only the first milder statement combined with the golden rule, the idea looks okay to me as a moral statement. But then the question for me is whether wrong is quantifiable and whether you can say, "well that's wrong but it's only a little wrong so I'll continue taking jobs producing proprietary software in the absence of good offers for jobs producing free software." Is that the not as bad as fallacy (I learned about in an unrelated thread on this site, thank you) in action or is there a real sense in which degree of wrongness can be quantified and it's legitimate to have a threshold for yourself below which your violations don't cause you to lose sleep?
Whether BSD developers would act the same, I don't know. For one, even some (a lot?) of the GNU developers contribute to GNU for non-philosophical reasons so it's hard to say how much the philosophy drives the coding. But assuming some philosophy, or at least attitudes, drive people to some degree, there seems a fundamental difference beyond (or subsuming?) simple dislike of copyleft on the side of many BSD people. I've seen BSD writing in places express a very different moral idea (or simply a motivation? but I'll treat it as an ethic anyway), one that it's good to put something well crafted into the world and have that used (under any license). I guess, in the narrow sense the good is to avoid some fool getting it wrong when they try themselves with the harm coming back on the developer or the world at large. Then in the general sense, perhaps (not sure if I can really infer this), there's the sense of it being good simply to create and add useful well crafted things to the world for their own sake. Like it's good we have televisions (maybe that's a bad example) so the inventor of the television did a good thing.
The difference comes when you look at some software that's well done but under a proprietary license and ask whether it would be better that that software exist or not exist. FSF/GNU people generally would say better it not exist while BSD people I doubt would say that in general. (Though it's hard to be sure, since BSD people like less to have philosophical debates (so... sorry for this?), and the places where I have seen them I often tuned out because I didn't like the tone or didn't find the arguments compelling, e.g. BSD licensing being superior to copyleft argued in the form of a pissing contest over which license is shorter textually or is most free in the sense of being free from expressed restrictions in the license. I like the way Jeremy Allison meets the latter kind of argument, which he complained about encountering in its crudest form, I think it was here: http://faif.us/cast/2011/may/10/0x0F/ )

I really don't get his philosophy.

Yet - there should be nothing "wrong" or "immoral" about selling a bicycle, but not the detailed drawings that would make reproductions easier. Why be forced to help your competition? It's pretty much the same deal with software, so long as there are alternatives. IMO - the problem RJS was trying to head off, and has tentatively thwarted, is a situation developing in the world where all vendors of software are proprietary, and act as an aggregate entity to exercise unjust power over users. That's my opinion of his opinion. Some large companies act with the force of an aggregate - all by themselves (Microsoft, Apple). So, there is a difference between a hardware driver vendor who is one among many in a vibrant, competing ecosystem, and an overly dominated area, such as is the case with MS. Again, I can't read RJS's mind, and I know that his statements sometimes read as very strong ideological concepts. But, any business man knows that you bargain for more than you know you will get, and figure the realistic figure into the books.
This is another way of saying that monopolies are immoral, but business in general is not. One article I read in support of Free software gave the example of all (proprietary) vendors being forced to install back doors for you know who - and there being no Free Software alternative.

It's common for people to define the word freedom in different ways. I've been trying to learn more about traditional philosophy. You talk about freedom in the way that Hegel meant it vs. how J.S. Mill did and you're talking about pretty different ideas. Think of it that way with rms. It doesn't mean you have to agree with him, but it may help you understand where he's coming from.

If that's the case, I'll think I'll stick with Mills.
There is a difference between maintaining freedom and maintaining freedom as long as the use-case fits your personal philosophy.
Edit -
I would like to extend my personal definition of freedom, if I might. Freedom is the right to do what you want, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, however you want, in whatever matter you desire, so long as your actions do not infringe on the freedom of others.
If I fork an open source project into a proprietary project and extend said project with proprietary extensions, people have a choice of paying for my proprietary version or freely (typically) using the open source version. I have not revoked their freedoms in any way (I have provided them, to the contrary, with an alternative). If you say I have to now release my proprietary extensions to the world, you are in fact revoking my freedoms.

I'll only remind you you started out with, "THAT is what bugs me so much about Stallman. He has a very narrow definition of "open source" and decries anyone who doesn't precisely meet his definition." Yet you seem to have your ideas of what rights should be ceded in free software licenses and are criticizing people who who prefer copyleft for not following your preferences. Or maybe you just can't get by the use of the word free. I'd recommend Jeremy Allison's thoughts on that. If I recall, the BSDers who were harrassing him with this argument he in exasperation told, "fine, you can have the word free, whatever." Point is you don't have to use GPL software if it's that bothersome to you not to be able to include it in non-GPL works and that they're not unclear about what they're trying to accomplish with copyleft.
The main differences between BSD & GNU licencing to me is that BSD is totally free of any uneccessary impediments on its use, it just basically states 'don't say you wrote it'.
Whereas, under GNU licencing you are obliged to provide the source code when asked to do so, (you used to have to supply it alongside your program at one time).
I believe in FREE software for the masses, to do the normal regular things that people do.
However if someone wants to create a specialist program, I believe they should be able to licence it as they see fit, as long as they are not using someone elses work in it that has been licenced differently or not for commercial use. That is where the GNU licence seems to annoy some people.
Edit: I very much appreciate all programmers who give to the community so freely, no matter what licence they put it under.

But I disagree. Proprietary software is not the devil that Stallman believes it to be. Yeah, he's got some accurate points that companies DO utilize their licenses to screw their users over. I agree with him 100% on that. But the core of that issue is *not* proprietary software. 99.99% of the users out there do not give a flip if they have access to the source code, or even if bugs get fixed (unless it directly affects their workflow, of course), or to go a step further, most end users don't even care if security patches are put in place. Think of your typical Microsoft user, or typical Mac user. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've been called out to help a family member or friend with their "computer issues", and they're doing things like disabling Windows firewall while their machine in plugged directly into the internet with a public IP on it. I know you've had similar experiences so there's no need to expound on that.
For people like you and I, who do indeed care about source availability, proprietary software is not a good match, and we seek out other sources of software that we can tinker with. Beyond that, we are enforcing our preferences on others when we demand they release their source code.
Sure, I disagree with Stallman's policy that other developers release their source code. It's a political issue, not unlike government assistance (i.e. should homeless people go to their local church where they are likely to get assistance, or should the government raise taxes so they can assist the homeless? Think about that. It boils down to "do you trust others to do the right thing?" If yes, you trust the developers to release code free of encumberment. If not, you sue them into releasing their code).

It happens I was reading today some of the comments on an IBM employee's blog about setting up OpenOffice under Apache (it was linked from an old Bradley Kuhn blog entry). If you'll remember some interpreted that as an attack on Libreoffice and copyleft. It was interesting in the comments, Jeremy Allison (geez, how many times have I mentioned this guy -- but he's an entertaining speaker, nearly as funny as Bob Beck, check him out) suggested FreeBSD made out poorly in their interaction with Apple. I suppose he was thinking Apple made out like gangbusters on their code, since Apple has some astronomically larger number of users than FreeBSD. But then a FreeBSD contributor chimed in saying that it was great for them. Some of them got jobs out of it and lots of useful code comes back down to FreeBSD from Apple.
Link: http://www.robweir.com/blog/2011/06/...penoffice.html
So it's complicated. I can see decent arguments all around (and some bad too -- for instance, the Why you should use the BSD License article on FreeBSD's site is mostly dreadful IMO).

I do not agree with a few of his ideas, but I do agree with most of them. Perhaps a good way of stating my is opinion is; I agree with his general concept of free software, but do not agree with a few of the specifics. Whether one likes him or not, his influence on open source in general, and Linux in particular, cannot be denied. And of course, it is not necessary to like someone to respect them. Although I have lost a small amount of respect for him due to his silence concerning the systemd threat/conspiracy/lunacy.
I dislike that he went on Alex Jones' Show. Hard to take someone serious after they've been on Alex's show. Not that upstanding persons (whatever that means) haven't been on his show. Its just that I have always looked at Alex Jones' show as the place to go for people that like conspiracy but not actual researching. That show is more about attention (show biz) than spreading information.
I have no idea who Alex Jones is. Shows how out of the loop I am. Like when my students ask me how much I like (insert celebrity's name), I usually have never heard of the person.
Don't worry, you're not the only one who doesn't know who s/he is......

To understand why Richard Stallman doesn't actually care about UNIX and why GNU (GNU's Not UNIX) is not really about UNIX - look no further than his own comments:
I find it interesting that after all these years, his dreamed of GNU OS is still nowhere near to becoming a reality. The closest GNU has gotten is the recently released Gnusense, which is just, as far as I know, a Libre Debian. They created the user applications a long time ago, but the kernel is still being created? Interesting. But then, I have not thoroughly researched the developments. So I do not know how many factors I am unaware or.
OpenBSD 6.4
The latest release of GNU Hurd was just about a year ago.
I can't comment further, as I've never used it.

KILLEEN, Texas, May 11 (UPI) -- A Killeen, Texas, police officer, who was shot Friday while trying to serve a narcotics search warrant, died Sunday.
Detective Charles "Chuck" Dinwiddie died at 2:14 p.m. from a gunshot wound to the head.
He and three other officers were shot at while serving a narcotics warrant at a residence on Circle M. Drive.
Two of the officers hit by bullets were protected by safety equipment and a third, Odis Denton, was shot in the femur and was recovering from surgery at Scott & White Memorial Hospital. He's listed in good condition.
"Our community has suffered a great loss. Few people have touched the number of lives, in such a meaningful way, as Detective Dinwiddie," Killeen Police Chief Dennis Baldwin said.
"As a dedicated professional, his service to the Killeen community was with honor, courage, and unwavering loyalty. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time."
Marvin Louis Guy, 49, was arrested in the shooting and was charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. He was being held at Bell County Jail in lieu of $3 million bond.
A 50-year-old woman was also arrested, though her name and any charges she may face weren't reported.

Though the Geo Prizm shares many similarities with the Toyota Corolla, the Prizm - or any Geo-brandedautomobile for that matter - is in essence a General Motors product.
General Motors launched the Geo brand in 1989.Like many automobile companies that have created unique brands to cater to specific needs of the public, the Geo line is an example of GM following the lead of their customers. The brand was launched to meet a new demand by the American consumer for import-styled cars.During its history, the Geo division re-badged a wide variety of cars for the world market.These cars appear under various names depending on the intended market.
Like most trends, the appeal of import-styled cars eventually fizzled out, and General Motors made the decision to dissolve the Geo brand in 1998.During the division's operation, the brand created several popular cars for the public, including the Prizm and the Geo Metro, with varying degrees of success.The Geo Tracker (essentially the same vehicle as a Suzuki Sidekick) represents the brand's version of a sport utility vehicle.The Geo brand also includes the Spectrum for the sedan class.When these options didn't garner the attention and sales desired, GM opted to end this experiment in import-inspired cars.
The Geo Prizm falls into the sub-compact sedan class and foundpopularity with consumers interested in affordability, reliability, and durability.The Prizm functions well as a small family car.It also had success in company-car fleets.
Several factors contributed to the Geo Prizm's overall popularity with specific groups of buyers.The Prizm design allows for a very quiet ride and exceptional fuel economy.Like its cousin, the Corolla, the Prizm also gained recognition for its reliable safety features, including a driver's-side airbag, a feature that many cars from the same time only offeredas an add-on option, if at all.Anti-lock brakes were another safety highlight for the Prizm.
1997 was the last model year Geo and General Motors chose to offer the Prizm to American car buyers.The reliable, four-door Prizm comes in two trim levels: base and LSi. Like the earlier versions of this car, the 1997 Prizm's build makes it reliable, and most owners find these carsaffordable and easier to maintain than similar models.
As noted, both trim levels of the 1997 model year havefour doors.The base edition features a 1.6-liter, I4 engine capable of 105 horsepower. Geo offered two different transmission options with this model, including the three-speed automatic and the five-speed manual with overdrive.Fuel economy is more than adequate, with an efficiency rating of 30/34 mpg city/highway.
The upgraded LSi version of the Geo Prizm comes equipped with its own special features as well.This edition offers a standard 1.6-liter, I4 engine like the base model, or it can be ordered with a slightly larger, 1.8-liter option.The LSi Geo Prizm offers three different transmission options for the consumer, including the three-speed automatic, the four-speed automatic, or the five-speed manual.Both the four-speed and the five-speed options come equipped with overdrive capabilities.
Like the 1997 Geo Prizm, the earlier models are prized for their reliability and easy maintenance.GM intended these cars to provide a basic, reliable form of transportation.In short, the Prizm was simply made to be affordable, functional and good looking.
Throughout the five years that GM offered the Geo Prizm, the original design didn't change a great deal. The car only comes in the two trim levels for each model year and is only available as a four-door sedan.In the later model years, the exterior of these cars was updated to provide a sleek, modern appearance. Under the hood, the Prizm shows little difference from the Toyota Corolla. Most Prizm owners are generally happy with the car and feel it offers a good value. When well cared for, the Prizm is considered an excellent choice for a used car.
1997 Geo Prizm
Compact, Sedan
The 1997 Geo Prizm is essentially a repackaged version of the Toyota Corolla.
1996 Geo Prizm
The 1996 Geo Prizm is an entry-level compact car that was introduced in 1989.
1995 Geo Prizm
The 1995 Geo Prizm remains one of the most pragmatic cars on the market.

Olympics Shuts Down Non-Commercial Online Service That Helped People Get Tickets
from the olympic-failures dept
Ah, but this is the Olympics, and the Olympics just doesn't do things like that. So, they shut the site down:
It seems someone at LOCOG has taken exception to our idea (or the publicity it is getting) and instead of reaching out to us or addressing the lack of a notification system, they have simply blocked our access to their server. This means we are unable to check or post any new ticket alerts.Welcome to the Olympics, where if you don't pay the Olympics, you better not do anything to help make the Olympics a better experience.
And it's important to note that they weren't making money off of this. They were just helping to alert people to ticket availability and then driving them to the official Olympics site. They just hacked together a notification system.
Sometimes I wonder if the Olympics just wants to piss off everyone.

This week, the first stage of the biggest rocket ever to launch from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore rolled out onto its new $145 million launchpad …
.. and Virginia is one step closer to the sky-high ambitions of many in this state to become the Space Coast of the Atlantic.
If tests of the medium-size Antares rocket go well, it'll join the small but growing fleet of commercial crafts enlisted in NASA's Commercial Resupply Services mission to send payloads to the International Space Station.
NASA turned to the private sector in part to replace the Space Shuttle program, which flew its last mission in July 2011.
The Antares and its Cygnus cargo spacecraft were designed and built by the Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corporation. The rocket still has to finesse a demonstration flight planned for later this year, but once cleared for duty is set to become a workhorse in the commercial space industry.
Orbital has been locked in a mini space race of sorts with Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), which on May 31 launched its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo craft with much fanfare from Cape Canaveral in Florida, becoming the first commercial vehicle ever to dock with the ISS.
SpaceX is gaining a second march on Orbital with a second launch scheduled for Oct. 7.
Orbital is working under a $1.9 billion contract from NASA for 10 resupply missions. SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract.
The achievements of these two companies signal a "significant milestone in our effort to return space station resupply activities to the United States," said NASA spokesman David Weaver.

Current Law Students / Re: Do you hate law?« on: December 01, 2005, 09:09:11 PM »
no, I just hate law school
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
But, I think it is sufficient that a reasonable person should know to a substantial certainty that coffee during class will cause them to have to intrupt the class to get up and go to the bathroom.
Even better, let's combine them all, "It is, like, reasonably forseeable that like, a cup of coffee would be, like, sufficient to get me through the next class."
Your posts have been a little on the flaming side lately. Are you ok? Under too much law school stress?
I traded sex for preparation in class once. I got called on the next class, told my professor "Unfortunately I did not analyze this case to the extent that would be helpful to our class discussion" I saw him take out a little red pen and mark me down. It was worth it though we only get one "unprepared" per semester. I was professional and if he had a problem with it i'm sure he would have went off like is the case with most students
In short, you may have to be a selfish lover.
That is funny!

"True Colors"
Hacker becomes a good guy! Can this possibly be true? A new, reformed Hacker runs for election against Motherboard, claiming to have done five good deeds, and promising to turn over a new leaf. Can the kids find a counter example that proves Hacker is lying -- or will he be elected the new ruler of cyberspace? Guest voice: Al Roker as "Sam Vander Rom." The Big Idea: When people use words like always, never, all, or none to claim something is true, be suspicious! Such claims are often false, and you need only a single counter example to disprove them. D

I was wondering if there is something out right now that may have caused Javascript related actions to act weird. I have a site that has worked for a long time now and just recently for no reason it started acting weird. Alot of jscript stuff not working properly and when i save or update records from admin it updates tables that it shouldn't. remember this worked before and now it doesn't.
I have the server company looking into it, in case something on there end does not work but they are coming up with nothing. Also they have recently set up new server cages and moved my stuff. I ma wondering if there is a compatibility issue with what i have and the new server settings, but i cant think of anything. Also uses ajax but i am not thinking that this is in use with this particular problem.

- 1 pound bacon cooked and diced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- Combine sour cream and mayo; gently stir in bacon and tomatoes. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. It is best when made the same day that it will be served; otherwise the tomato juice causes it to separate slightly. (Plum tomatoes might be a good choice.)

define-structure form introduces a binding of a name to a
structure. A structure is a view on an underlying package which is
created according to the clauses of the define-structure form.
Each structure has an interface that specifies which bindings in the
structure's underlying package can be seen via that structure in other
An open clause specifies which structures will be opened up for use inside the new package. At least one structure must be specified or else it will be impossible to write any useful programs inside the package, since define, lambda, cons, etc. will be unavailable. Packages typically include scheme, which exports all bindings appropriate to Revised5 Scheme, in an open clause. For building structures that export structures, there is a defpackage package that exports the operators of the configuration language. Many other structures, such as record and hash table facilities, are also available in the Scheme 48 implementation.

prefix forms produce new
views on existing structures by renaming or hiding exported names.
Subset returns a new structure that exports only the listed names
from its <structure> argument.
With-prefix returns a new structure that adds <prefix>
to each of the names exported by the <structure> argument.
For example, if structure
s exports

p/a and

with-prefix are simple macros that

modify, a more general renaming form.
In a
modify structure specification the <command>s are applied to
the names exported
by <structure> to produce a new set of names for the <structure>'s
Expose makes only the listed names visible.
Hide makes all but the listed names visible.
Rename makes each <name>0 visible as <name>1
name and not visible as <name>0 , while
alias makes each <name>0 visible as both <name>0
and <name>1.
Prefix adds <name> to the beginning of each exported name.
The modifiers are applied from right to left. Thus
makes(modify scheme (prefix foo/) (rename (car bus))))
car available as
The package's body is specified by begin and/or files clauses. begin and files have the same semantics, except that for begin the text is given directly in the package definition, while for files the text is stored somewhere in the file system. The body consists of a Scheme program, that is, a sequence of definitions and expressions to be evaluated in order. In practice, we always use files in preference to begin; begin exists mainly for expository purposes.
A name's imported binding may be lexically overridden or shadowed by defining the name using a defining form such as define or define-syntax. This will create a new binding without having any effect on the binding in the opened package. For example, one can do (define car 'chevy) without affecting the binding of the name car in the scheme package.
Assignments (using set!) to imported and undefined variables are not allowed. In order to set! a top-level variable, the package body must contain a define form defining that variable. Applied to bindings from the scheme structure, this restriction is compatible with the requirements of the Revised5 Scheme report.
It is an error for two of a package's opened structures to export two different bindings for the same name. However, the current implementation does not check for this situation; a name's binding is always taken from the structure that is listed first within the open clause. This may be fixed in the future.
File names in a files clause can be symbols, strings, or lists (Maclisp-style "namelists"). A ".scm" file type suffix is assumed. Symbols are converted to file names by converting to upper or lower case as appropriate for the host operating system. A namelist is an operating-system-independent way to specify a file obtained from a subdirectory. For example, the namelist (rts record) specifies the file record.scm in the rts subdirectory.
If the define-structure form was itself obtained from a file, then file names in files clauses are interpreted relative to the directory in which the file containing the define-structure form was found. You can't at present put an absolute path name in the files list.

The article cited above is under copyright, so we are quoting only one paragraph. The author explores some of the unintended consequences of commonly used technologies :
Weakening our resilience, fueling hyper-consumption, accelerating environmental ruin, resource depletion and resource wars, carrying some seriously scary risks, diminishing rather than enriching our quality of life, eroding our privacy, deepening inequality.
"The problem with technology is that most innovations have unintended consequences, and those unintended consequences are piling up, causing harm and creating dangers of existential magnitude. We turn a blind eye to those dangers and uncritically presume that, for all but the creepiest technologies (such as animal cloning), the benefits outweigh the risks and that technological innovation is humanity's highest calling."

When installing underground service conductors to a building or structure, where the service conductors are installed in a trench that has 24 in. of cover, what marking is required at what distance above the underground installation? The underground service conductors are not encased in concrete.
- Marking is not required. Therefore, no distance is specified.
- A pressure-treated piece of lumber (2x4, painted red) is required to be installed directly over the underground installation.
- A red warning ribbon placed 24 in. above the underground installation is required.
- A yellow warning ribbon placed 12 in. above the underground installation is required.
Answer: D
When installing underground service conductors that are not encased in concrete and buried 18 in. or more below grade, you must place a yellow warning ribbon 12 in. above the underground installation. Note that this requirement applies only to service conductors.
The installation of warning ribbons above all underground conductors was once again proposed and commented on in the 2011 NEC cycle. However, no new requirements were approved by the Code-making panel members.

One level, no stairs.
Four pictures, no trash.
1,830 square foot lot. Wow. When someone said they weren't making any more land, guess whoever owned this property said, "Nuh uh! I'm going to build a bunch of tiny shacks and sell them on 1/9 acre lots and I'll be rich, rich!"
Now if you want to be rich, rich as well, you had better start buying up property in Marin now. Because right now certain neighborhoods in San Francisco are ultra-hot with all those well-paid high-tech engineers and social media purveyors and game-engine optimizers. Now what do you think is going to happen when these people get married and have kids?
Well, nothing. But what do you think is going to happen when their oldest kids start turning four? They're going to be out the door to the land of Safe Public Schools in time to register for Kindergarten. Watch Marin values skyrocket then. You read it here first.
Remember, a little of something is better than renting a lot of nothing. And today's Black Friday Deal is about as little as you can get. But it's a little sliver 600 feet from the beach… and a little less of a walk every day!

SCons / BetterErrorMessages
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/BetterErrorMessages
Better Error Messages
This is a draft. Feel free to edit. If you have questions, please pose them on the mailing list.
It is believed [[!bug 863]], [[!bug 1437]], [[!bug 1442]], [[!bug 1871]], and [[!bug 1895]] are exemplars of this problem.
The Problem(s)
There are two ways that a missing Builder can be observed by a user:
- Attempting to use the Builder by name (e.g.,
env.BuilderName( ... ))
- Refering to a Builder's source suffix (e.g.,
Program('file.xyz')) Currently, both cases generate opaque error messages (or worse, no error message and appear to work). The objective is that both cases should generate descriptive error messages.
Another related difficulty with the current scheme is that full toolchains are not deduced. That is, if a user adds a Builder that converts
.xyz to
.c then it requires extra steps so that SCons will be able to turn this into a
.o. And if it's not set up correctly, the error message is opaque about what went wrong.
A somewhat-related difficulty to the previous point is the use of non-standard suffixes. A user might wish to use the suffix
.cplusplus on a C++ file for legacy reasons, yet adding this suffix is painful (or not possible?). (It should also be possible to remove suffixes.)
From the user's perspective, SCons should act as if all Builders were present at all times, but only Builders configured into a specific Environment are in play. That is, SCons should always be able to determine that a Builder should be used (if not always which one), and only generate an error if the required Builder isn't configured.
This implies that the process of setting up the toolchains should be separate from the actual configuration of a Builder. The toolchain information (the relationship between source and target suffixes and the Builder name) should always be established, while the Builder itself would only be configured if the circumstances warrant (i.e., if the command exists for a default builder or if the Builder is explicitly configured).
The implications are twofold:
- All
.src --> .tgttransitions must be known globally to SCons.
- All Builder names must be known globally to SCons. The problem is how to get there from here.
Possible Strategy
There's one possible strategy that SCons could employ:
- SCons should initialize all standard Builder names in a global table.
- SCons should initialize all
.src --> .tgtpairs for all standard (i.e., provided by SCons) Builders in a global table.
- User-provided Builders should have their Builder name(s) and
.src --> .tgtpair(s) added to the global tables.
- If an Environment gets an
AttributeError, the global table of Builder names is consulted to determine what type of error message should be generated.
- If the source-to-target transition is not known in the current Environment, the global table is consulted to determine what type of error message should be generated. I'm not sure that this is the best strategy (it seems to have a lot of overhead), but it shows that there is at least one strategy that will deal with the difficulties.
Still open:
- How much overhead is it necessary to induce?
- How much additional overhead is acceptable?
- How to get user-created suffixes?

Reds to bring in Portuguese youngster
Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal with Sporting Lisbon for teenager Joao Carlos.
• Abubakar hopeful of Reds move
Carlos, 19, is set to move to Anfield in a deal worth £1 million, according to the Guardian, after impressing scouts with his displays in the NextGen series of youth-team matches earlier this campaign.
The midfielder, who has not made a senior first-team appearance for the side, is highly-rated in his native Portugal and has been compared to Deco, but Sporting have been forced to part ways with his services due to their financial difficulties.
Liverpool technical manager Jose Segura is believed to have spotted the youngster from a Sporting academy which has boasted the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Luis Figo.

forbes.com: The mobile ecosystem is awash with applications and games. Wherever you turn there are high quality applications available, many either free or at the 79p mark. Turn to the launch titles of the PS Vita, and you find titles like Uncharted Golden Abyss going for £45, Wipeout 2048 and Lumines at £35, and the 'feeling like a tech demo' Little Deviants for £18.
One game for the PS Vita, or over 55 games for your iPhone. That's not a tough call to make.
Nearly leapt off my couch in excitement at the sight of a positive Vita article. Then I read "The problem with Sony's next generation portable gaming console was not the hardware, it was everything else."
Everything else? Really?
Screw you Forbes.
"One game for your PS Vita, or 55 games for your iphone"
Most handheld games are 1000 times better than anything on iOS.
Too bad casuals and non-gamers don't see it that way.
Very happy with my vita
Live my iPhone but the games suck compared to my vita
I knew it was the best. "Sony got the hardware spot-on and the PS Vita was perfect."
This is Forbes , a highly respectable magazine. They know their sh*t when it comes to video games and technology. Suck it Ninty fanboys , Vita wins 2012 and will win 2013. All the haters can GTFO.
Long Live Play
Not knocking the 3DS but why wasn't the title "The best hardware was the 3DS, Pity about the ecosystem". Or "One game for your 3DS, or 55 games for your iphone".
If these media journalist take off their fanboy glasses than they will realize that despite not having a system seller which the Vita currently does not have, the system has a lot of very high quality games.
I do not care how much an iphone game costs. Persona 4 Golden, Gravity Rush, LBP Vita are worth their price point. Heck i would pay $60 or more for Persona 4 alone. I would rather have 100+ hours of entertainment than 5 mins of an iphone game.
It's like having sex....would you rather enjoy yourself for hours or have a quicky that is a waste of time?


text: When I try to send a text I keep getting this error and it won't let me text. "Phone storage is full! Delete some files to free space." I deleted all of my text messages that were saved.. I deleted apps I don't use and I moved all of the ones I could to my SD card.. and I'm still getting this error?? I have no idea what to do from here? Any help would be great!! Thanks so much!

Access to nearly 11,000 titles 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the ability to read on the go and no late fees — these are just some of the benefits of a new service offered by the Rolla Public Library that is aimed at making books more accessible.
Access to nearly 11,000 titles 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the ability to read on the go and no late fees — these are just some of the benefits of a new service offered by the Rolla Public Library that is aimed at making books more accessible.
Patrons now have the ability to check out eBooks and audiobooks and all they need is their library card, an Internet connection and a free software application.
The library began offering the service Nov. 30 and as Library Director Cathy Smith explains, it's a step moving forward in the digital age.
"We live in a busy society and it's not always easy for folks to get into the library," Smith said, adding that many patrons have requested eBooks and audiobooks.
While the service is still new, "the word is spreading," she said. "We're very excited about this."
One of the benefits of the new service is that eBooks make it easier for people traveling. Additionally, audiobooks allows those who are sight-impaired to enjoy books, according to Smith.
Rolla Public Library has joined a consortium of about 70 small to mid-sized libraries in the state called Missouri Libraries 2 Go, Smith explained.
Through this consortium, library patrons can check out a variety of eBooks and audiobooks from a collection of about 10,892 titles, which includes about 1,828 audiobooks, with the rest being eBooks, according to Smith.
But as Stephanie Chinn, children's coordinator at the library, warns, "It's a library, not a store. There is not an unlimited copy of every book."
Some are those titles are duplicates, it was noted, and if there is enough demand for a particular title, more copies can be added to the collection.
This new service is powered by OverDrive and is free with a Rolla Public Library card. Generous donations from the Friends of the Rolla Public Library and two anonymous individuals donors helped fund this service.
In early July of this year, Rolla Public Library received an eReader Exploration Grant through the Library Services and Technology Act in the amount of $1,195.
The grant provided funds to public libraries to help library staff, volunteers and patrons learn about eReader devices through a hands-on experience.
Through the grant, the Rolla library received two Nooks, two Kindles and one iPad. These devices were scheduled to be on display at the library by the end of the day on Friday, Dec. 7.
While the devices cannot be checked out, patrons can look at them and become familiar with how they work, according to Kristin Strandberg, administrative assistant at the library.
"All of the staff have gone through training and are able to answer questions," Smith said about the new service.
How it works
Through the service, readers can browse the collection, check out items with their library card and download them to their PC, Mac and many mobile devices. A list of compatible devices is available at www.overdrive.com/resources/drc/
To get started, patrons will need to install free software — either OverDrive Media Console or Adobe Digital Editions depending on what type of computer or device they have.
Most mobile devices, such as the Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet, Apple devices and other smartphones, have an OverDrive Media Console application available that can be used to search and check out eBooks.
For other devices, people may have to download and install Adobe Digital Editions to download and transfer items to their devices. An Adobe account is required for this.
A patron ID and PIN number, which is the last four digits of that ID, are needed to check out eBooks and audiobooks. Titles cannot be downloaded on library computers.
Rolla Public Library users can choose to check out titles for either seven or 14 days. Readers cannot renew a title. Instead, if they do not finish a book by the end of the lending period, they will have to check it out again. On the flip side, items can be returned early.
Patrons can have up to five items checked out at one time.
People who place a title on hold will receive an email when that item is ready for delivery and it will be available for four days after the email is sent.
The collection can be accessed at any time and there are no late fees because the title will automatically be disabled at the end of the lending period.
For certain audiobooks, the files can be transferred or burned to a CD.
Confused about eBooks?
The Rolla Public Library will four eBook basics classes in the library's program room Tuesday, Dec. 11 and Tuesday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. both days. Patrons can bring their e-readers or mobile devices to the classes.
What you need to download eBooks, audiobooks
• An Internet connection via a PC, Mac or select mobile devices.
• A valid library card.
• OverDrive Media Console, free software, used for some eBooks and audiobooks on a PC, Mac or mobile devices, or Adobe Digital Editions, free software, for PDF and EPUB eBooks on a PC, Mac or eBook devices.
How the new service works
• Browse the collection available via a link from the library's website at www.rollapubliclibrary.org under the eBooks tab. There, you can search by title, subject, author or format.
• Add selections to your "cart" based on the type of device to which you want to download them. Then, click on the "proceed to checkout" link.
• If a title is not available, you may place a hold and receive an email when the title becomes available.
• Type in "Rolla Public Library" or select it from the list. Then, type in your library card number and PIN number, which is the last four digits of your card number.
• You will be asked to choose a checkout period — either seven of 14 days. Titles will "expire" at the end of the lending period chosen.
• From there, you can download or transfer your selections onto your device, such as a Kindle, iPad, Sony Reader or others.

Can't Get It Up: 10 Foods That Might Be Choking The Life Out Of Your…Libido
A home-cooked meal may not be all it's cracked up to be…
Recently we stumbled across several stories about food that kills the fun the in bedroom. Though some of these claims sound like they could be fugazi, it never hurts to hear them out. Besides, some of them are just funny!
Flip the page and take a look at the stuff you need to stay away from if you plan on getting some action after breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Corn Flakes
The maker of Corn Flakes, John Harvey Kellogg, thought that bland cereal without sugar would keep the sexual desires to a minimum, boy was he wrong.
Gin and Tonic
According to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg this is EXACTLY what you need to get the party in your pants started. But upon further review, the quinine that is in tonic water is associated with lowering testosterone, and we all know what too much alcohol will do to a drunken man's member…
Although there is no strong medical evidence that suggests that soy is an anti-aphrodisiac, monks have long-believed that it would decrease sexual desire. And if the conspiracy theory needs more gasoline on it's unproven fire, Morningstar Farms is one of the biggest producers of soy products and it is owned by the aforementioned Kellogg Corporation.
Might be good for your breath in the PROCESS of trying to get some, but it definitely will leave you a lil short when it comes to CLOSING the deal. The menthol in the mints is said to reduce testosterone and "cool" off the body. Might wanna stick to the toothbrush if you plan on "swinging an episode"
Again, credit to this theory goes to monks that believed that this herb would curb the lust that burns inside of men from time to time (or all the time).
Graham Crackers
Rev. Sylvester Graham is credited with "inventing" this semi-sweet snack in the mid 1800's because he believed that eating meats caused a ravenous appetite for other "flesh" and thus created a bland, flour-based food that would "cure" folks of their raging hormones.
Continue Slideshow
It is claimed that licorice can inhibit one's freaky feelings, but a LOT of it would have to be eaten to notice in significant change. But this shouldn't be a problem because most people hate licorice…
Okra tends to be a food that people have a love-hate relationship with. But we have found rumors and claims that this too will kill your chances of a "happy ending" to your date. Our advice, skip the soul food spot and take your lovely lady to a seafood place and fill her with oysters!
There is really no good reason to be ingesting saltpeter. For those that have never heard of such a substance, saltpeter is a powder that was formally mixed when "tonics" and other medicines were popular. It was said to work like a muscle relaxer. The Army was rumored to have slipped this into soldiers food to keep their mind off of boot-knockin'. Who knows, but it's far from tasty so just stay away regardless.
Great for fiber, digestion, nutrients, but terrible for gettin BUSY!
Here was a hilarious story behind this "chop"-blocker food:
In 1863 (so about four decades after Graham), a guy named James Caleb Jackson made the first cold cereal in America. He called it granula — it was basically crushed graham crackers — and, he believed, its grain-based tastelessness would help make people less sexual.
One of the people who liked Jackson's ideas was Ellen White, the eventual founder of Seventh Day Adventism. She started the first sanitarium in Battle Creek — the one that Kellogg would ultimately run. And when he did start running the place, he liked the idea for granula so much that he stole it and started marketing it.
Jackson sued him over the name, so Kellogg changed it to granola… did a better job of marketing it… and eventually became the go-to guy for granola.

ATHENS, Ga. (Feb. 27, 2010) - Despite a number of great individuals efforts in numerous matches the 62nd-ranked ETSU men's tennis team fell 6-1 Saturday at No. 9 Georgia inside the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga.
With the loss ETSU falls to 2-6 on the season while Georgia - who is currently riding a 67-match home winning streak - improved to 6-2.
After UGA picked up an 8-3 win in No. 1 doubles, ETSU evened the early scores as senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia) and sophomore Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) outlasted the Bulldog team of Bo Seal and Christian Vitulli, 8-6.
With the doubles matches then even ETSU looked to take the early point in a close No. 2 contest that was still going on. After the Buc team of freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) and sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) forced a tiebreaker against Drake Bernstein and Javier Garrapiz, the Georgia duo finally survived the 52nd-ranked ETSU team in the extra game, 9-8.
"We had a chance in doubles, but we just didn't find a way to win the tiebreaker," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "The thing is our team isn't going to just sneak up on some of the higher ranked programs anymore. Georgia had a chip on their shoulder this afternoon, because we have beaten them in doubles the last couple of years. They came out with a good lineup and found a way to just barely outlast us for the early point."
Like the doubles matches ETSU played close in singles, however the host Bulldogs proved to be too much to overcome as UGA outlasted the Bucs in all six individual contests.
ETSU's best performances of the day came from junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and Isaza, who both forced three-set matches before falling just short in singles.Teraz dropped his No. 1 singles contest to 104th-ranked Nate Schnugg 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, while Isaza fell in the No. 3 match 6-4, 6-7, 1-0 (10-6).
"Overall, I thought we had some guys play better this afternoon," said Zaatini. "Despite our record being what it is we've played this unthinkable schedule to get our guys ready for the conference season. We have a group of tough minded players that are capable of bouncing back as we open league play this upcoming weekend against Kennesaw State."
With the nonconference schedule behind them, the Bucs return to action with a 1 p.m., contest Friday against Kennesaw at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center on the ETSU campus.
Attached above are final results from Saturday's match between No. 9 Georgia and No. 62 ETSU.

Vladimir Putin has said that Russia finds the Kosovo authorities' decision to create their own army regrettable and sees it as another risk of destabilization of the situation in the Balkans.
"Regrettably, Kosovo's authorities took a series of provocative steps lately, thus greatly aggravating the situation. In the first place I have in mind their decision of December 14 to form a so-called army in Kosovo," Putin told a news conference. "It goes without saying that this is a direct violation of the UN resolution, which does not allow for the creation of any paramilitary forces except for the international UN contingent."
"Such irresponsible steps by Kosovo's authorities may cause destabilization in the Balkans," he warned. Source: Tass

Flickr photo by LateFinsWhen my son turned 2, his pediatrician told me to switch him from whole milk to 2 percent. She said he doesn't need "all that fat." Well, doc, my son is tall and lean -- in the 75th percentile for height and a hair under the 50th percentile for weight. He's approaching 3 and still drinking whole milk.
According to Swedish research, it's a good thing, too. So, MOO-over 2 percent.
With childhood obesity on the rise, parents and school administration might think serving skim or low-fat milk to children is appropriate, but according to research, children who drink full-fat milk every day have a lower BMI than children who often throw back low-fat milk.
The scientists also discovered a difference between overweight children who drink full-fat milk every day and those who do not. Children who often drink milk with a fat content of 3 percent are less overweight. The thesis shows also that the children eat more saturated fat than recommended, but those children who have a high intake of fat have a lower BMI than the children with a lower intake of fat.
What kind of milk do your kiddos drink?
