KDE Makes First 4.8 Release Candidate Available, Adds Secret Service
Today KDE released the first release candidate for its Workspaces, Applications, and Development Platform. With API, dependency and feature freezes in place, the KDE team's focus is now on fixing bugs and further polishing. Compared to Beta2, RC1 contains hundreds of fixes. Please give this release another good round of testing to help us release a rock-solid 4.8 in January.
Highlights of 4.8 include:
As usual, bugs can be reported, verified and found at bugs.kde.org.
Bug 275469 - 4.7 Regression: closed windows stay in the taskbar
I think this bug should have the highest priority for fixing.
By Anonymous at Thu, 2011/12/22 - 5:54pm
patches are welcome.
i am not yet sure this is at all a 4.7 regression. it may well be (another) X11 Qt bug or even deeper in the stack -> for those affected (and it's a small number it seems), the application is simply NOT getting the event that the window has been removed into its x11 event filter. we've seen this right down in the event filter in libkdeui in KWindowSystemPrivate::x11Event. i wonder if it might even be Qt version related: there is a bug that slipped in sometime during Qt 4.7 that gets event loop ref counting wrong in x11EventFilter .. hm.
and/or perhaps its related to a specific widget that some people have which is eating events or otherwise triggering the problem? most oddly, the event does get delivered to other apps, just not the plasma-desktop process. of course, those other apps don't do things like track the open windows or other things that rely on the x11EventFilter. can't be the xembed systray icons since i have a few of those and never see this issue.
in short, it would be nice if we had a solid method of reproduction, but we don't even have that.
meanwhile, i also have a list of other serious issues that are more common. posted them to the mailing list the other week.
btw, the "most hated" thing is utterly bogus on that report. it was a set of 2-3 different issues, all of which got addressed. it is currently re-opened due to a completely different problem that shares symptoms. the votes and dupes on that report do not represent the current issue, but the previous fixed ones. if it was a new report with just the remaining (new?) issue it would be clearer.
and yes .. another first post that is a bug report #. and every time it's pointed out that this is not the most useful venue for that. and every time there's a set of comments with bug report #s. it's a little like working with a group of people who, collectively, suffer from a learning disorder. ;)

Plasma bugs
Then how about communicating with the users who suffer from this bug, asking them to provide further information (e.g. widgets used) that can help?
This bug is now open for half a year, and especially in the beginning it looked like nobody of the developers care. It started to lighten up a bit when a, at this time, external developer jumped in. This is a feeling I get quite often when submitting bugs regarding plasma parts.
Other parts and developers at least give some feedback. And yes, I do know that there are tons of open bugs, and probably a lot of them are duplicates or missing information. But still, adding bugs which might have quite an impact (like this one, or the broken plasma parts in amarok) often seem to get little attention based from a bug submitter / users view. And this can be frustrating, almost as frustrating as having to live with such an annoying bug for half a year now.
Anyway, thanks for the otherwhise good work.

Please help by triaging the bugs
Each day about 9 bugs are reported against Plasma. But only about a third of the reported bugs are actual bugs. Everything else is either invalid or duplicate. This is a huge amount of bugs the developers have to go through.
It just can happen that one of those bugs skips through the radar of the developers. That doesn't mean that developers do not know about the bug. It might be that there are tens of other bugs describing the same issue where the developers report to. It might be that the issue is already discussed on IRC and the mailinglists without even consulting the bug tracker. This specific bug was reported in a time when people are on vacation. Two weeks gone and more than 100 new bugs are reported.
But there is good news: you can help that this does not happen in future any more. You can help by triaging the bugs. Just think about the advantage of users filtering out the duplicates instead of the developers. You can try reproducing the bugs and tell the developers in the reports how to reproduce them. This gives the developers the possibility to just grab the fully analyzed bug and fix it.
So everybody can help. You don't need to be able to develop, all you need is a recent version of our software. Give it a try: Bugsquad
If the developers know your capabilities they trust your analysis and you can easily point them to: look at this bug, that looks pretty severe.

How do I become a triager?
I found myself triaging some really old bugs (filed against KDE 4.1), but I don't have the privileges to mark bugs as "NEEDINFO". How can I get a bugs.kde.org account upgrade?

Hang out in #plasma or #kde-bugs. As soon as you show yourself worthy, you will be upgraded.

What lists?
I don't do IRC. Are there mailing lists to hang out in or is this an IRC-only club? I'm already a regular on kde-general and kde-linux.
Meanwhile, what about superkaramba? I have a couple bugs up that even have patches. I use them here regularly as I have a superkaramba monitoring theme, and I've tried to upstream them, but for all I can tell from the bugs sitting without any response at all for six months, everyone else died in a nuclear holocaust and I'm the last person (well, at least the last superkaramba user) alive... #274906, 275070 Maybe bringing them up where will get a response?
(My email's on the lists above, if anyone's interested. I tried posting with an email address here some years ago and had to shut down that address due to the instant spam load after that post!)

I am pretty sure that it is 4.7 regression
Because in Kubuntu 11.04 with default 4.6 I didn't have this problem. But when I installed kde 4.7, this bug appeared. So bug appeared with new kde, all the rest was the same (drivers, X, qt).

Does RC include new wallpapers and icons or are they coming in final?
By Anonymous at Thu, 2011/12/22 - 5:54pm
RE: Graphics
Yes, it comes with new wallpapers. What new icons are you talking about?
By sumski at Thu, 2011/12/22 - 6:22pm
Just all new wallpapers and
Just all new wallpapers and new oxygen icons. If they were included now on RC and not just final, as beta versions did not include those.
By Anonymous at Sat, 2011/12/24 - 10:19pm
No new graphics
RC1 does not have new wallpapers or new icons. All those are missing. The default wallpaper is still what 4.7 had (and it should have included five new wallpaper already).

After some hard testing...
...there are results. Great results.
With Akonadi 1.6.90 and KDE 4.8 RC 1, we say: farewell, Nepomuk + Akonadi performance pains. It was a pity to have you here, tarnishing KDE reputation. But we won't see you anymore. Farewell.
After I had a solid 5% idling CPU for 1 hour, I can, finally, claim victory and say that Akonadi and Nepomuk are not the resource hogs they were in the past, anymore.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved in this.

KMail 2 and Digikam
What about KMail2 and Digikam are they now working the way they should? Especially importing the mails from Kmail1 to KMail2. I still haven found a strait forward howto up to now.
By Bobby at Fri, 2011/12/23 - 6:06pm
1. Right; 2. Depends on Digikam
1. KMail2 should be working, since it's not attempting to import KMail1 mails anymore. Now it should use directly the KMail1 data, through a special Akonadi agent.
2. Digikam must adapt to this new reality.
By Ernesto Manríquez at Fri, 2011/12/23 - 8:14pm
Any idea on how to use this
Any idea on how to use this agent? I have followed some instructions online and KMail2 is in fact working. I can use my KMail1 contacts and my e-mail settings but my old e-mails are nowhere to be found (in KMail2) Any ideas on how to "import" my old mails?
By Bobby at Fri, 2011/12/23 - 9:05pm
Importing KMail messages into KMail2
Have you checked out forum.kde.org, forums.opensuse.org,
It looks like problems are being solved at forum.kde.org. Searching on kmail2 brings up quite a few threads. Maybe one of those will relate to what you are getting.
By Carl Symons at Fri, 2011/12/23 - 11:11pm
more on this akonadi agent..
Please can you give some more info about this agent? is there a possibility to not store mail-addon-data in mysql anymore? where can I read some more about that topic?
By Anonymous at Wed, 2012/01/04 - 7:02pm
get mails into kmail2
have you thought of using a (imap) mailserver as middleman.. upload to the server.. install kmail2 get them again.. i did this once with a LOT of emails.. took some time :)

KSecretService looks like interesting stuff!
Where can I find some more details? Google takes me to the devel mailing-list but not much more.
By Vajsvarana at Fri, 2011/12/23 - 7:28pm
I had exactly the same questions. Here on gentoo, the new ksecrets package has a couple readmes (and 3 todos) installed in /usr/share/doc/ksecrets-4.7.95/. They don't say a whole lot in themselves, but one of them points to
Basically, it's to be kde's parallel to gnome-keyring, with both implementing the XDG (X Desktop Group, freedesktop.org) secrets API over DBUS. You'd pick one or the other. But the techbase page still has a lot of to-be-done points, and because it wasn't in the betas so 4.7.95 aka 4.8-rc1 is the first public prerelease, it looks to me like basically a minimal stub is going to ship for 4.8, and it won't really be used much until 4.9.
But eventually it's to replace the kde-only kwallet with the XDG standard-speced dbus-based secrets API, and both kde/qt and gnome/gtk apps will be able to use it. As the note at the bottom of the techbase article mentions, however, you'd pick either gnome-keyring or ksecretservice to store your secrets, because while the implement the same standard XDG secrets API, there's no automated way to convert one to the other, at least not yet.
That's all I know of it, but once I realized the stage it's at and that it's probably be like akonadi or nepomuk in early kde4, there, but not really doing a whole lot for a few feature releases, I wasn't too worried about it. Like those technologies, I'm sure by the time it's actually of much use, we'll have quite a number of blog posts about it, etc, and know more what's going on. Right now tho, it's pretty much just there, but not really doing a whole lot yet as it's not complete, and even if it was, it's too late to convert anything to it for the 4.8 cycle at least, so 4.9 at the earliest.

Adobe Flash, Shutdown button
Still do not work correctly Adobe flash with effect in fullscreen mode. Do not work button in flash. And do not work corectly shutdown button on PC and on keyboard. Must long wait then show dialog to shutdown. In desktop PC. I using KDE 4.8 beta 2 maybe work fine in rc1 wait update kubuntu beta.

bugs.kde.org, forum.kde.org
There are better places to get problems solved than at dot.kde.org. The Dot is for KDE news and announcements.
As the original story says...bugs can be reported, verified and found at bugs.kde.org.
You can also post in the 4.8 Beta forum...

Bug flash
1. Flash: install Flash 11.2 beta 3 - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11-2.html . That kills 99% of the crashes you may see with Flash 11.1 and improves greatly how things work in Qt-based browsers.
2. Shutdown button: the easiest and quickest workaround is to press Ctrl + Alt + F1 and try the power button or Ctrl + Alt + Del.

Zoning ordinances define land uses in a community, whether they be commercial, residential, industrial, or parks, and they benefit the community by establishing design standards for the land use. Riverside's zoning ordinance is defined in Title 19 of the City's Municipal Code and it regulates the following:
The master plan is the general plan, the City's basic planning document. It provides a blueprint for development throughout the community and is the vehicle through which competing interests and the needs of the residents are balanced and meshed. The general plan addresses all aspects of development and community enhancement, including housing, traffic, natural resources, open space, safety, land uses, and public facilities by defining these guidelines:
All of these aspects are considered whenever a builder, developer, or homeowner submits a plan for review.

This release is available in German.
The scientists observed that the impact of tobacco smoke was especially detrimental during gestation. The results of the study have been published in the current online issue of the renowned journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
"We were able to show that children who are exposed to tobacco smoke prenatally and during the first years of life have a higher risk of developing abnormal behavioral symptoms when they are of school age," said Dr. Joachim Heinrich of the Institute of Epidemiology at Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen. "Moreover, it makes a difference whether the child was exposed to tobacco smoke first after birth or was already confronted with it during prenatal development."
According to the study, children who were only exposed to tobacco smoke prenatally have a 1.9 times higher risk of developing abnormal behavioral symptoms in comparison to children without any exposure (change this if it is the wrong comparison). The risk for children first exposed to tobacco smoke after birth is 1.3 times higher. Furthermore, children who were exposed to tobacco smoke both while in the womb and while growing up doubled the risk of developing abnormal behavioral symptoms. Such symptoms include hyperactivity, attention deficits or problems in their relationships with peers. The results of the study were independent of affects from the social environment in which the children were growing up.
In the framework of the GINI-plus study, data of a large birth cohort comprising 5991 children and their parents was analyzed. Extensive studies will follow up on this study. "The value of our study is based not only on our prospective, investigative approach, but also on the comprehensiveness of our survey as to possible pollution levels for the unborn, infants and children at different times," Joachim Heinrich explained. "This makes it possible to determine the effects of prenatal and postnatal tobacco smoke exposure and to differentiate between them."
To ensure the validity of their results from the questionnaires, the scientists carried out carefully controlled tests to exclude possible bias due to social factors. Simon Rckinger, lead author of the study, stated: "The relationship we found between tobacco exposure during fetal development and early childhood and behavioral problems at school age was not biased by other factors of the social environment."
The findings make clear that tobacco smoke exposure has a significant impact on the behavioral development of children. The negative influence is greater on the unborn child during the pregnancy of the mother than it is after this sensitive developmental phase.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has fired five workers and a student research assistant for peeping on patients' private medical records in the days after reality television star Kim Kardashian gave birth to her daughter there.
The hospital declined to identify the patients whose records were accessed to the Los Angeles Times, but a spokeswoman said all patients involved were notified of the breach.
The records were inappropriately accessed between June 18 and June 24. Kardashian gave birth June 15.
Representatives for Kardashian and the baby's father, Kanye West, did not provide comment to the Times.
Four of those fired were employees of community physicians who have staff privileges at the hospital, one was a hospital medical assistant and one was an unpaid student research assistant.
Violations can lead to fines or criminal charges.

Penn State New Kensington's Blissell Library recently unveiled a two-monitor computer system that is designed for group projects and meetings.
The Collaborative Workstation allows multiple participants to work on a document or project by viewing large computer screens. The area is equipped with a conference table and six chairs. Up to six laptops or iPads can connect into the hub in the center of the table. The monitors can display two of the laptop screens simultaneously, so the group can work as a team.
"It is starting to catch on with the students as student groups began using it last week," said Jennifer Gilley, head librarian. "We have also had faculty and staff use it for meetings that involved technology."
There is no formal reservation system set-up, but requests can be made at the library's front desk. Laptops can be signed out for use at the site. The collaborative station is free to students, faculty, staff and the general public.
Blissell Library is a government depository library, which means that it serves to make selected government documents accessible to the citizens of Westmoreland County. It is only the second library in the county to serve in this capacity and the only Penn State campus library other than University Park to be so designated.
Because of the University's status as a state-related institution and its strong public service commitment, the resources of Blissell Library, including all online databases, are available for public use. To take advantage of the library's resources, come in and fill out a form to receive a Penn State library card.

Tagit från AXIS—
A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers that are connected together in a localized area to communicate with one another and share resources such as printers. Data is sent in the form of packets and to regulate the transmission of the packets, different technologies can be used. The most widely used LAN technology is the Ethernet and it is specified in a standard called IEEE 802.3. (Other types of LAN networking technologies include token ring and FDDI.)
Ethernet uses a star topology in which the individual nodes (devices) are networked with one another via active networking equipment such as switches. The number of networked devices in a LAN can range from two to several thousand.
The physical transmission medium for a wired LAN involves cables, mainly twisted pair or fiber optics. A twisted pair cable consists of eight wires, forming four pairs of twisted copper wires and is used with RJ-45 plugs and sockets. The maximum cable length of a twisted pair is 100 m (328 ft.) while for fiber, the maximum length ranges from 10 km to 70 km, depending on the type of fiber. Depending on the type of twisted pair or fiber optic cables used, data rates today can range from 100 Mbit/s to 10,000 Mbit/s.
A rule of thumb is to always build a network with greater capacity than is currently required. To future-proof a network, it is a good idea to design a network such that only 30% of its capacity is used. Since more and more applications are running over networks today, higher and higher network performance is required. While network switches (discussed below) are easy to upgrade after a few years, cabling is normally much more difficult to replace.
Types of Ethernet networks
Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet refers to an Ethernet network that can transfer data at a rate of 100 Mbit/s. It can be based on a twisted pair or fiber optic cable. (The older 10 Mbit/s Ethernet is still installed and used, but such networks do not provide the necessary bandwidth for some network video applications.)
Most devices that are connected to a network, such as a laptop or a network camera, are equipped with a 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Ethernet interface, most commonly called a 10/100 interface, which supports both 10 Mbit/s and Fast Ethernet. The type of twisted pair cable that supports Fast Ethernet is called a Cat-5 cable.
Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet, which can also be based on a twisted pair or fiber optic cable, delivers a data rate of 1,000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s) and is becoming very popular. It is expected to soon replace Fast Ethernet as the de facto standard.
The type of twisted pair cable that supports Gigabit Ethernet is a Cat-5e cable, where all four pairs of twisted wires in the cable are used to achieve the high data rates. Cat-5e or higher cable categories are recommended for network video systems. Most interfaces are backwards compatible with 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet and are commonly called 10/100/1000 interfaces.
For transmission over longer distances, fiber cables such as 1000BASE-SX (up to 550 m/1,639 ft.) and 1000BASE-LX (up to 550 m with multimode optical fibers and 5,000 m with single-mode fibers) can be used.
10 Gigabit Ethernet
10 Gigabit Ethernet is the latest generation and delivers a data rate of 10 Gbit/s (10,000 Mbit/s), and a fiber optic or twisted pair cable can be used. 10GBASE-LX4, 10GBASE-ER and 10GBASE-SR based on an optical fiber cable can be used to bridge distances of up to 10,000 m (6.2 miles). With a twisted pair solution, a very high quality cable (Cat-6a or Cat-7) is required. 10 Gbit/s Ethernet is mainly used for backbones in high-end applications that require high data rates.
When only two devices need to communicate directly with one another via a twisted pair cable, a so-called crossover cable can be used. The crossover cable simply crosses the transmission pair on one end of the cable with the receiving pair on the other end and vice versa.
To network multiple devices in a LAN, however, network equipment such as a network switch is required. When using a network switch, a regular network cable is used instead of a crossover cable.
The main function of a network switch is to forward data from one device to another on the same network. It does it in an efficient manner since data can be directed from one device to another without affecting other devices on the same network.
How it works is that a switch registers the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of all devices that are connected to it. (Each networking device has a unique MAC address, which is made up of a series of numbers and letters that is set by the manufacturer and the address is often found on the product label.) When a switch receives data, it forwards it only to the port that is connected to a device with the appropriate destination MAC address.
Switches typically indicate their performance in per port rates and in backplane or internal rates (both in bit rates and in packets per second). The port rates indicate the maximum rates on specific ports. This means that the speed of a switch, for example 100 Mbit/s, is often the performance of each port.
A network switch normally supports different data rates simultaneously. The most common rates used to be 10/100, supporting 10 Mbit/s as well as Fast Ethernet. However, 10/100/1000 are quickly taking over as the standard switch, thus supporting 10 Mbit/s, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet simultaneously. The transfer rate and mode between a port on a switch and a connected device are normally determined through auto-negotiation, whereby the highest common data rate and best transfer mode are used. A switch also allows a connected device to function in full-duplex mode, i.e. send and receive data at the same time, resulting in increased performance.
Switches may come with different features or functions. Some switches include the function of a router. A switch may also support Power over Ethernet or Quality of Service, which controls how much bandwidth is used by different applications.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides the option of supplying devices connected to an Ethernet network with power using the same cable as for data communication. Power over Ethernet is widely used to power IP phones, wireless access points and network cameras in a LAN.
The main benefit of PoE is the inherent cost savings. Hiring a certified electrician and installing a separate power line are not needed. This is advantageous, particularly in difficult-to-reach areas. The fact that no power cable has to be installed can save, depending on the camera location, up to a few hundred dollars per camera. Having PoE also makes it easier to move a camera to a new location, or add cameras to a video surveillance system.
Additionally, PoE can make a video system more secure. A video surveillance system with PoE can be powered from the server room, which is often backed up with a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). This means that the video surveillance system can be operational even during a power outage.
Due to the benefits of PoE, it is recommended for use with as many devices as possible. The power available from the PoE-enabled switch or midspan should be sufficient for the connected devices and the devices should support power classification. These are explained in more detail in the sections below.
802.3af standard and High PoE
Most PoE devices today conform to the IEEE 802.3af standard, which was published in 2003. The IEEE 802.3af standard uses standard Cat-5 or higher cables, and ensures that data transfer is not affected. In the standard, the device that supplies the power is referred to as the power sourcing equipment (PSE). This can be a PoE-enabled switch or midspan. The device that receives the power is referred to as a powered device (PD). The functionality is normally built into a network device like a network camera, or provided in a standalone splitter (see section below).
Backward compatibility to non PoE-compatible network devices is guaranteed. The standard includes a method for automatically identifying if a device supports PoE, and only when that is confirmed will power be supplied to the device. This also means that the Ethernet cable that is connected to a PoE switch will not supply any power if it is not connected to a PoE-enabled device. This eliminates the risk of getting an electrical shock when installing or rewiring a network.
In a twisted pair cable, there are four pairs of twisted wires. PoE can use either the two 'spare' wire pairs, or overlay the current on the wire pairs used for data transmission. Switches with built-in PoE often supply electricity through the two pairs of wires used for transferring data, while midspans normally use the two spare pairs. A PD supports both options.
According to IEEE 802.3af, a PSE provides a voltage of 48 V DC with a maximum power of 15.4 W per port. Considering that power loss takes place on a twisted pair cable, only 12.95 W is guaranteed for a PD. The IEEE 802.3af standard specifies various performance categories for PDs.
PSE such as switches and midspans normally supply a certain amount of power, typically 300 W to 500 W. On a 48-port switch, that would mean 6 W to 10 W per port if all ports are connected to devices that use PoE. Unless the PDs support power classification, the full 15.4 W must be reserved for each port that uses PoE, which means a switch with 300 W can only supply power on 20 of the 48 ports. However, if all devices let the switch know that they are Class 1 devices, the 300 W will be enough to supply power to all 48 ports.
Most fixed network cameras can receive power via PoE using the IEEE 802.3af standard and are normally identified as Class 1 or 2 devices.
With IEEE 802.3at pre-standard or PoE+, the power limit will be raised to at least 30 W via two pairs of wires from a PSE. The final specifications are still to be determined and the standard is expected to be ratified in mid-2009.
In the meantime, IEEE 802.3at pre-standard (High PoE) midspans and splitters can be used for devices such as PTZ cameras and PTZ dome cameras with motor control, as well as cameras with heaters and fans, which require more power than can be delivered by the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Midspans and splitters
Midspans and splitters (also known as active splitters) are equipment that enable an existing network to support Power over Ethernet.
The midspan, which adds power to an Ethernet cable, is placed between the network switch and the powered devices. To ensure that data transfer is not affected, it is important to keep in mind that the maximum distance between the source of the data (e.g., switch) and the network video products is not more than 100 m (328 ft.). This means that the midspan and active splitter(s) must be placed within the distance of 100 m.
A splitter is used to split the power and data in an Ethernet cable into two separate cables, which can then be connected to a device that has no built-in support for PoE. Since PoE or High PoE only supplies 48 V DC, another function of the splitter is to step down the voltage to the appropriate level for the device; for example, 12 V or 5 V.
PoE and High PoE midspans and splitters are available from Axis. See Power over Ethernet products.

June 23, 2008
Despite Russian and Serbian opposition, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon said Friday the UN would gradually cede its role.
For 16 months, Russia and the West have been a bit eyeball-to-eyeball in the United Nations Security Council over the status of Kosovo. But to borrow Dean Rusk's famous phrase during the 1963 Cuban missile crisis, it appears that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon has just blinked.
Mr. Ban's concession on Friday appeared to brush aside Russia's objections and clear the way to end the nine-year "UNMIK" mission in Kosovo. Last week, Pristina authorities inked a milestone constitution, following a February declaration of independence. For much of the past nine years, Kosovars described themselves as bystanders in their own fate; the future of this gritty city was controlled by Moscow, Washington, Brussels, and New York. A UN departure may begin to change that.
"Ban Ki Moon has clearly moved closer to the position of those states that recognize Kosovo, but from the Serb position, they've got what they wanted," says James Lyon of the International Crisis Group in Belgrade. "They have de facto taken Kosovo north of the Ibar River."
To be sure, Serbs strongly contest Kosovo. On Friday, a parliament of Kosovo Serbs will meet, backed directly by Belgrade. The body, considered illegal by Western officials, will coordinate Serb agencies, police, security, and even Ministry of Defense offices. It remains an open question whether the European Union can enter the largest enclave, Mitrovica.
"What will not be helpful is to push this problem off," says a senior Western diplomat affiliated with an international agency. "We don't want Kosovo as an international ward for years to come…. Drift contributes not just to instability in Kosovo. It contributes to Serb instability, [which is] the problem in the region."
Kosovo is a "second tier" priority for the United States and the West at a time of an Iran-Israel crisis, the Iraq war, and Afghanistan. Yet the dispute pits key principles in international affairs – state sovereignty against the relatively new concept of self-determination for the Kosovars. It is seen as a test of whether the Balkans can integrate into Europe – or are destined to devolve into nationalistic groups. On Friday at a special Security Council meeting, Ban described the Kosovo problem as the most difficult of his diplomatic career.
Lacking Security Council authority, the question of the UN in Kosovo had come down to Ban's authority as an arbiter, with Moscow saying he couldn't pull the UN out of the country without the Security Council, and most Western diplomats saying he could. Ban said Kosovo's newly declared independence created "profound new realities" on the ground. "It is ... the view of the United Nations that [a reconfiguration] constitutes the best possible way in order to manage the situation in Kosovo.…"
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a June 19 speech that Russia's internal developments have been a contributing factor, despite cooperation in many key areas. "[T]here is some disappointment that we have not been able to move closer to the common values with Russia that one would have thought possible in 2000," Ms. Rice said. "In fact, it is the internal development of Russia away from a more democratic course that has been, in some ways, the hardest part of managing the relationship."
Even a year ago it was possible to talk about a orderly, nonviolent, and relatively low-cost resolution of Kosovo. After nine years, the UN would leave, the EU would come in. The "last chapter" of the Balkan chaos would close – an end to a decade of a bloody "Greater Serbia" campaign by Serb strongman Slobodan Milosevic. Yet in a fateful miscalculation, diplomats admit Moscow never agreed to vote affirmatively in the Security Council – bringing confusion and bickering among allies. Moscow's diplomatic maneuvering has cost little; the West, in comparison, has spent billions.
"You don't have a Security Council resolution, so you have the Spanish and Greeks opposing progress. You don't have Serbia isolated," said a Western diplomat, one of several interviewed off the record in Pristina. "We've got a customs house burned down in February by the Serbs that no one at NATO has asked to rebuild." Lacking Security Council approval, the complications faced by the Kosovars has strained its capability, talent, and preparedness.
"We thought we'd have a quick launch, Security Council approval, and that Kosovo would be well down the road toward establishing itself. Instead, we well have to muddle through," another Western official said. "Kosovo was thrown a screwball by Serbia," argues Mr. Lyon, "No one expected Serbia to be able to stymie the Security Council, no one expected Russia to go to the mat for Serbia, or for Serbs to so vehemently insist on parallel institutions in their enclaves."
Currently, instead of the more than 100 nation recognition that sources say the US government told Kosovo it would secure, only 43 nations have so far signed on ahead of a General Assembly meeting in September. The lack of a resolution continues to mean an uphill climb for Pristina, officials say. Instead of a NATO mission that would now be training police and supporting the new Kosovo government, NATO is still keeping the two sides apart. Instead of an EU mission on the ground, Brussels is working out disputes among members. Instead of a single legal system, there are Kosovar and Serb systems. Instead of an expected isolation of Serbia – Slovakia, Greece, Spain, and Russia are backing Belgrade's attempt to subvert the independence.

After some discussion, we have decided to decommission this forum site and move all forum-like conversation to Reddit instead. We expect to complete this over the next several weeks (timeline below).
There are a few reasons we are doing this:
- Reddit is free, and that's pretty nice. We don't have a large budget, so anything that saves us money is great.
- These forums are hosted on the old maintainers account, which requires renewal within the next few months. To keep the forum alive, we would need to either migrate it to another hosting provider (time consuming) or work out an agreement with the previous maintainer to continuing hosting it (not a long term solution).
- We want to minimize the amount of infrastructure we need to maintain and secure. Fewer servers/sites to take care of means more time for valuable work like coding and working with the community.
Rough timeline for events:
- Get the reddit community up and running. We already have the name saved. Just need to make it public and set owners/mods/sidebar info. Deadline: end of the weekend (Dec. 4)
- Update website with links to Reddit community.
- Turn on read-only mode for the phpBB forum on Dec 9th.
- Turn off the forum and redirect DNS entries to reddit community. Deadline: Dec. 31st
One of the main concerns I have had with potentially decommissioning this forum is the loss of information that has built up on it over the years. Forum posts are frequently a prominent hit on Google when searching RDP errors, for example. We want to preserve that information as much as possible. We are asking the community to help us find and save useful information on the forum to be included in our wiki.
Please see Issue #293 if you would like to help out with the archiving. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Note: previous discussions occurred as a part of Issue #288

Committee Opinion Number 678, November 2016
(Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Current sexuality education programs vary widely in the accuracy of content, emphasis, and effectiveness. Data have shown that not all programs are equally effective for all ages, races and ethnicities, socioeconomic groups, and geographic areas. Studies have demonstrated that comprehensive sexuality education programs reduce the rates of sexual activity, sexual risk behaviors (eg, number of partners and unprotected intercourse), sexually transmitted infections, and adolescent pregnancy. One key component of an effective program is encouraging community-centered efforts. In addition...

Platypus spur you? Grab a scorpion
February 22, 2010 Leave a comment
The most painful egg-laying mammal: the platypus
The duckbill platypus is an impossible-looking, risible creature that we don't typically associate with horrific pain. In fact, besides its odd looks, its greatest claim to fame is that it's a mammal that lays eggs. But that's just because you're not paying close enough attention. On the hind legs of the male platypus are two spurs that inject a venom so painful, the recipient human writhes for weeks after the encounter. In spite of the fact that platypuses (platypi?) and humans don't hang out together much, platypus venom contains a specific peptide–a short protein strand–that can directly bind to receptors on our nerve cells that then send signals of screeching pain to our brains. Ouch.
Hurting? Reach for a scorpion
If you've ever experienced platypus-level pain and taken pain killers for it, you know that they have…well…side effects. It's because they affect more than the pain pathways of the body. The search for pharmaceuticals that target only the pain pathway–and, unlike platypus venom, inhibit it–forms a large part of the "rational design" approach to drug development. In other words, you rationally try to design things that target only the pathway of interest. In this case, researchers reached for the scorpion.
Their decision has precedent. In ancient Chinese medical practice, scorpion venom has been used as a pain reliever, or analgesic. But as developed as the culture was, the ancient Chinese didn't have modern protein analysis techniques to identify the very proteins that bind only to the pain receptors and inhibit their activity. Now, a team from Israel is doing exactly that: teasing apart the various proteins in scorpion venom and testing their ability to bind pain receptors in human nerve cells.
The next step? Mimicry
With proteins in-hand, the next step will be to create a synthetic mimic that influences only the receptors of interest. It's a brave new world out there, one where we wrestle proteins from scorpion venom and then make copycat molecules to ease our pain.
For your consideration
Why do you think the platypus makes proteins in its venom that human pain receptors can recognize if humans generally haven't targeted platypuses (platypi?) as prey over its evolution?
In the human body, a receptor may be able to bind each of two closely related molecules–as a hormone receptor does with closely related hormones–but one of the molecules activates the receptor, while the other molecule inhibits it. Taking this as a starting point, why do you think some proteins in scorpion venom–which often causes intense pain–have the potential effect of alleviating pain?

Ok, so, having got on some peoples nerves with all the talk about things that might be intended noob-tube features, I'd like to take a moment to retell the story of CYDSTEPP for the benefit of anyone who cares to read a textwall.
Hear ye, hear ye:
So, as it happens, sometimes earlier in the beta the devs seem to have decided to test out the conversion mechanic, and how far can they take it. The didn't tell us, ofc, but they simply made the CP ammounts on "low-hanging fruit" a bit too good across the board to entice us to try it out and see what we'd do, and what can be done if given copious ammounts of CP readily available. To give you an idea, old Troll Heart used to give 1 HP per level, but had a lower gold price and gave out a whooping 75 CP (If I remember correctly). The old sensation stone gave out 225 CP, more if you combined it with the old alchemist seal which gave you bonus conversion. The sensation stone was an auto-beeline, and coupled with the Dragonshield, seemed almost mandatory to be able to even begging grappling with ye olde power curve.
But it took us ages to even notice the CP goodnes laying about, along with many other things, because the average pro, vet or layabout was going around destroying everything with Tri-Sword wielding CYDSTEPP Rogues. Now, this strat involved scumming, but that seemed ok - most people were taking it for granted as what you're supposed to do in the endgame. It wasn't necessarily the most powerful strat, but it was so dependable if you could scum for CYDSTEP, that, if I remember correctly, intentionaly overbuffed features were not even geting noticed.
Case in point - the first Gaan'Telet, the one before the one before now, was doable with every class. Yes, even the old alpha fighter, but it wasn't doable with the CYDSTEPP Rogue. So it was considered undoable, before one guy, Subanark, simply picked up the old Monk, who people thought of as in need of buffs, and beat it with him. Then it turned out that if you stack enough resists you could beat it with anything - even the Rogue. It took removing the repeatable functionality of CYDSTEPP, and then reworking Drac to stop people from forcing the functionality back into the glyph, for people to venture out of their comfort zone and discover what is actually the game of Desktop Dungeons.
It's a lot like Plato's story of the cave (google it in case you're not familiar, philosophy's your friend) - the world outside turned out to contain many an abusable feature, so much stuff that needed attention and so many things and challenges to discover that parting with that strat was very much worth it. Without the Rogue setting the standard many classes were adjusted and the disparity between them is lower than ever. With the proper understanding of how much such an overpowering strat affected the expirience, Monks could be brought down to everyone else's level (they were stronger than Rogues all along). Vicious dungeons and tricky challenges were adjusted in difficulty to be more doable outside of broken shennanigans and don't force you to cheeze nearly as much as they used to.
A bunch of terminology was discovered too - and gods were understood a great deal better by the players. Regen fighting got some early game love, and Sensation stone isn't hogging too many locker slots. People had a reason to even look at Dodge and Reflex potions, complain about unclear tooltips, and once those were cleared up discover the CYDSTEPPLESS rogue and figure out just how crazy that guy is on his own. Curse was invented, and it works as a res stacking detterent much better than everything before it.
But none of that could happen before the CYDSTEPP took a hit, because too powerful features lead to developing a habit and shaping the outlook of players. And at one point in the development, what it took to see further than Trilings and CYDSTEP ment not unlocking the Warlord on purpose, just so the Trisword and the CYDSTEP don't obscure your vision of everything else - just to see if there is indeed anything else out there.
Anywho - this expirience, of seeing a nerf do so much good for the game, is what assures me that at least some of the things in the game could take them like bosses and not hurt but enrich the overall experience.

If these new spy shots taken in southern Europe indicate what's to come, a leaner, vaguely meaner Toyota Land Cruiser appears to be in the offing. Get past the acreage of gaffer's tape and tar paper, and you can see the extent of the ToMoCo flagship SUV's facelift. Spies say the Cruiser will be entrely new with a more rounded comport, it'll get a range of engines from V6s to V8s (likely including Toyota's new 5.7-liter eight) and diesels (not for US yet) and be even more luxurious than the current bruiser. One question remains. Will it still be tough enough for the UN, Interpol and sundry warlords, drug kingpins and arms dealers? Now there's a focus group we wouldn't mind an invite to.

E. Peter Schmitz, 88, of rural Sleepy Eye died on Monday, Sept. 24, 2012 at his home.
E. Peter Schmitz, 88, of rural Sleepy Eye, MN died on Monday, Sept. 24, 2012 at his home. He passed from the life into the Kingdom of Heaven surrounded by the love of his family and the prayers of the faithful. Visitation will be at Sturm Funeral Home, Sleepy Eye on Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. and on Friday from 7:30 to 10 a.m. There will be a KC Rosary at 4 p.m. and a Parish Prayer Service at 4:30 p.m., both Thursday at the funeral home. Service will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Sleepy Eye on Friday, September 28 at 10:30 a.m. The Clergy will be Msgr. Eugene Lozinski and Interment will be at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the Peter requested memorials be given to St. Mary's School. Arrangements are with the Sturm Funeral Home in Sleepy Eye. E-mail condolences may be sent to the family via www.sturmfh.com
Peter was born on July 1, 1924, the third son of John & Agnes (Merth) Schmitz of Sleepy Eye. He graduated from St. Mary's Catholic School and in his early years drove the grocery delivery truck in and around Sleepy Eye. In 1949 he met Rita Anne Bauman of Delano a new teacher at St. Mary's School, after his sister Helen introduced them on the steps of St. Mary's Church. Peter and Rita were married on the first day of summer, June 21, 1951 at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Delano. As they began their life together, they moved to the Schmitz Homestead Farm east of Sleepy Eye where they operated a dairy, farmed and raised their family. In 1971 Peter and Rita moved to Montevideo for 7 years while Peter managed the Chippewa County Farm Bureau Insurance Agency. During the summer of 1978, Peter and Rita moved back to the Homestead Farm to continue farming. After Peter retired from farming, his son Tony along with his wife Lisa, took over the farming operation, and lived along side of Peter and Rita. Peter truly cherished his family, his faith and his farm. As a young father and husband he loved the moments working the fields, milking the cows, and teaching his children about the workings of the land. And yet he always had time to play with his kids, to throw a football or pitch a baseball, to run behind their bikes as they learned to have him let go, and to say nightly prayers with his children and his wife. He shared his beautiful voice with many as he led singing in Church, at weddings and funerals and participated in the choir both at St. Mary's in Sleepy Eye and St. Joseph's in Montevideo. Having been a drummer in the Sleepy Eye Drum and Bugle Corp. Peter could tap out a cadence with one hand while bouncing a grandchild on his knee. He was a member of Knights of Columbus and an active volunteer both at St. Mary's Church and School. He and Rita would spend time each year speaking with the students at St. Mary's about love and marriage and participated in many Parish prayer and faith-sharing groups. Peter was inducted as a Guanellian Cooperator for his work and faithfulness to the Sisters of Divine Providence of Sleepy Eye. As a father and grandfather, Peter was there for his family whenever needed. He traveled to see children and grandchildren in all parts of the United States and was there for graduations, promotions, births, anniversaries and even losses. His faith carried him through difficult times and no matter how far he was able to travel, his favorite place to be was home, in his chair, with his bride at his side saying their daily prayers. So, it is fitting that Peter left this world for heaven in that manner with his bride at his side, saying their prayers.
He leaves his wife of 61 years, Rita; eight sons, David (Natalia), Joseph (Pauline), William (Suk), Peter (Peg), Paul (Debra), Tony (Lisa), Dan (Amy), Jon (Amber); five daughters, Marita, Catherine (Steve) Smith, Clare (Kevin) Bjork, Ann (John) Schotzko, Carmella (Robert) Leggon. Peter also leaves behind his dearly loved 49 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; infant daughter, Elizabeth; infant grandson, Jeremy; brothers, James and Philip; sisters, Helen and Carmella; and in-laws, Herbert and Catherine Bauman.

I wanted to know how computers calculate basic functions like
Sqrt so first I checked how humans do it I found that they use something called "Newton's method" that is basically a iterative method to find the root of a number.
that can be efficiently reproduced in Mathematica as:
SqRoot[x_, assump_, precision_] := N[Nest[(# + x/#)/2 &, assump, 21], precision]
Timing it for 2 gives:
In:= Timing[SqRoot[2, 1, 123]]
Out:= {1.75, 1.41421356237309504880168872420969807856967187537694807317667973799073247846210703885038753432764157273501384623091229702492}
1.75 Seconds
While using same precision with
Sqrt gives:
In:=Timing[N[Sqrt[2], 123]]
Out:= {1.6237*10^-15,1.41421356237309504880168872420969807856967187537694807317667973799073247846210703885038753432764157273501384623091229702492}
1.6237*10^-15 Seconds
Meaning Mathematica uses an entirely different operation to calculate the root of a number
Like this there are tons of elementary functions like
Cos which result in similar fast results as compared to slower human results using slower loops and iterative methods.
Where can we find a compendium of all the back code that supports these functions and makes them faster than actual procedure.
P.S. This is related only to Mathematica based functions (not theoreticalcs.SE)

I just used high quality glossy paper in doing the transfer. Just take note that the print must be done through a laser printer or a powder photo copier. It's a lot cheaper than using laser photo paper or Press 'n Peel!
puppiesonacid wrote:kierc, that looks awesome!
kierc wrote:Wow thanks!
I can't take credit for the artwork though, They're images from a Sin City comic that I played around with...
mikitz wrote:There was a package of high quality laser photo paper on sale for cheaper than anything else so I went ahead and used it for my first couple of etches.... bad idea.. as it turns out the ironing process transfers the toner very well but this type of laser photo paper leaves behind a sticky layer as well that the etchant has a problem getting through. I was getting okay results with about 30 minutes of etching.
Then after some internet research I tried the magazine paper (you can buy glossy laser magazine paper at the St*ples) and the result was much better. The ironing transfer took about 10 minutes on a 1590a and 5 minutes to etch! I would definitely recommend the magazine paper over laser hoto paper. I understand others have had great success with feeding *inkjet* photo paper into laser printers.. but I don't want to mess up my printer so I don't have the nerve to try it.
mikitz wrote:Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm using blank glossy magazine quality paper designed for laser printers. The package says "HP premium presentation laser paper". It is about the thickness of regular paper but glossy on both sides. It is working very well for me.
The laser photo paper (st*ples brand laser photo supreme) left a transparent gummy film that wouldn't come off without damaging the toner layer. This is after soaking and rubbing. The presentation paper is cheaper than the inkjet photo paper here in Ontario.
