You voted, and we listened. Whether it's pizza and street food or burgers, barbecue, and yes, vegetarian fare, these are the food-focused cities across the country—and around the world—travelers have chosen as destinations worth visiting. From the 2015 Reader's Choice Awards, these are the best cities for burgers around the country.
The caramelized onion-slathered fast food-style burgers at Tucker's Onion Burgers are at the top of every "best of" Oklahoma City list. But for something a little more creative, check out the gourmet smashed-on-the-grill burgers topped with unique condiments (BBQ aioli, peanut butter, Sriracha ketchup) at The Garage. If you're craving fancier fare, the lamb burger at Ludivine made with charred leek truffle aioli is not to be missed.
Myrtle Beach's unorthodox oceanfront sushi bar, Art Burger Sushi Bar, doubles as one of the best burger joints in town: here, artisan burgers are branded and served with liquid nitrogen cocktails. And though River City Café's burgers are less flashy, you'll have to figure out how to wrap your mouth around the teetering towers of beef, Texas toast, and doughnut-sized onion rings.
The theme park capital of the world is also known for a wide variety of burger styles, from the fast food joint where you can top your burger with hot dog slices (Junior Colombian Burger), to the James Beard Award-nominated Pub Burger (The Ravenous Pig in Winter Park). If that weren't enough, there's also a swanky sandwich that approaches divinity with a center of bacon and melted gruyere at The Rusty Spoon.
In Ocean City, you'll rarely find trendy, burger-centric spots. Instead, there's Kirby's Red Onion Grille, located inconspicuously in a strip mall parking lot, where the Beach Burger topped with fresh crab dip is king. Another shopping center is home to the Liquid Assets wine bar, which has an authentic Wagyu burger, widely considered one of the best in town.
The best burgers in the Ozarks are no-nonsense and topped with Miracle Whip, like the classic burgers at Danna's BBQ and Burger Shop. Nearby, Branson's Burger Shack is a retro drive-thru known for mammoth portion sizes. The classiest burger in Branson can be found at Level 2 Steakhouse where half a pound of Hereford beef is expertly seasoned, placed on a pretzel bun, and presented to you without artifice.
Just like most everything in Texas, the burgers in Fort Worth are no-fuss—and seemingly larger than life. At Fred's Texas Café, chow down on Tex Mex-inspired specialty burgers. The garage-like Rodeo Goat's burgers are sloppy and overflowing with cheese, while the burgers at the Greasy Bend are true to their namesake. At Dutch's Hamburgers, the gourmet Bacon Bleu cheeseburger is Fort Worth's beefy pride and joy.
Your first stop in Milwaukee should be Mazo's, where the family-run business has been serving house-ground burgers since 1934. Nite Owl Ice Cream Parlour & Sandwich Shoppe is famous for the classic "soda shop burger," and you can get an upscale restaurant burger at Mason Street Grill or a smoked gouda, bacon, chorizo, and jalapeño-topped iteration at Oscar's Pub & Grill
Columbus is historically a burger city—it was here, after all, that Wendy's first got its start. Stop by the rustic Thurman Café, serving over-the-top burger masterpieces dripping with egg yolk and melted cheese. For a neater option, there's the Columbus-based chain, Northstar Café, where the superstar is (surprisingly) the beet-and-bean veggie burger. On the other end of the spectrum is dive bar Johnnie's Tavern, where the greasy bar burger has been perfected.
A list of the best burgers in Austin wouldn't be complete without the Texas-based burger bar chain, Hopdoddy, known for its plump burgers paired with craft beers. For a more local option, there's Wholly Cow Burgers, a customizable burger fast-casual experience with fiercely loyal fans. Contigo serves Texan-style burgers with homemade pickles and bacon, and Swift's Attic is your best bet for an upscale burger, with a different specialty burger weekly.
If you're sniffing out the best burgers in America's ski town, start with the oldest bar in Park City, where the gritty No Name Saloon & Grill has been serving bison burgers for more than 100 years. High West, meanwhile, is a trendy, ski-in distillery with a bison-beef blend burger on tap, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten's J & G Grill brings classy beef to Park City with his cheeseburger topped with black truffle dressing.
In Daytona, beer is just as important as the burger you pair it with. One prime example is at Daytona Taproom, which boasts 50 beers on tap and overflowing burger combinations stuffed between two glazed doughnuts or waffles—if you're feeling adventurous, that is. Adam's Egg has another must-try veggie burger made from scratch.
In Virginia Beach, there's nothing like Iggles Cheesesteaks and Burgers, where the burgers are cheesesteak-inspired—you can also get a grilled cheese sandwich with a burger patty in the middle. For simple but delicious, head to No Frill Bar & Grill, which, as the name implies, serves the classics.
My Burger is the quintessential Minneapolis burger joint; with three locations, kitschy décor, and a proud commitment to greasy burgers, locals say it's actually worth the hype. Matt's Bar is a must-visit, and claims to be the birthplace of the iconic Jucy Lucy, an intentionally misspelled cheese-stuffed burger. Parlour, a quieter option, puts forth a toasty specialty burger oozing with white cheese that pairs perfectly with the bar's craft cocktails.
Arguably the most popular burger joint in Tennessee is Gabby's Burgers & Fries, a burger shack serving thick double cheeseburgers. For a more unconventional take, The Pharmacy Burger Parlor and Beer Garden, another of Nashville's premier burger joints, serves a Russian-inspired stroganoff burger. Burger Republic boasts craft burgers with Nashville flavors like a Jack Daniel's honey glaze, and at Mason's, burgers are given the upscale lunch treatment and come with aged cheddar and tomato bacon jam.
In Las Vegas, it's all about the glamorous celebrity burgers. Gordon Ramsay's BurGR breaks the mold of a traditional burger joint with toppings like duck breast bacon, while Mario Batali's beef-driven CarneVino boasts a gourmet lunch burger covered delicately in pancetta, onion, and gorgonzola or cheddar. Other options include the FukuBurger, a food truck burger made with Japanese-inspired flavors like teriyaki and wasabi mayo, and Holstein's Shakes & Buns, which serves organic burgers paired with—you guessed it—alcoholic shakes.

Introduce variables into acronis agent (pre-deploy)?
Is there anyway to introduce some variables into the acronis agent for things like computername if I have a winPE image?
I would REALLY like to be able to name my computers with a prefix followed by the service tag/serial number. I understand that the agent itself can't read the bios, but I could do a wmi call from a script inside PE (something like wmic bios get serialnumber) to pull that and then create variable that might then be used by the acronis agent.
Is this somethign that acronis supports? Every enterprise I have been with used a machine name that was unique to the machine itself, not just a random number generated and I am extrememly surprised that Acronis does not offer this functionality.
Otherwise I'm having to run a post install script to change the computername and then rejoin it which is prone to failure.
Not that I'm aware - it's been asked a few times, but SD5 hasn't been updated in several months. You might have luck automating the task afterwards by using a startup script or GPO to check the computer name and automate the process. Never tried myself, but perhaps this may help get the process started...

Being in the technological age, we send and share things with each other instantaneously every day without giving it a second thought. Email and other forms of communication has enabled us to connect with people everywhere – we can share photos, stories, videos and we can even chat to people over Skype on the other side of the world. However, how did a courier company operates in the past? In old days, transporting goods including letters and packages was needed in order to communicate and connect on this level.
The invention of email and even the ability to share photos and other important things has also meant that less people are sending letters and even packages in the traditional sense. But the emergence of eCommerce and online stores has settled the score somewhat as people are buying more online, meaning courier companies and post offices are busier than ever before.
Let's take a look at some funny facts about postal systems in the old days:
Carrier pigeons
Pigeons were relied upon to deliver letters for many years, particularly in war times. There is evidence to indicate that this means of communication was used more than 3,000 years ago, with many different cultures and civilizations using them. It is said that this method started in ancient Persian civilizations. Julius Cesar and Genghis Khan were among the great leaders that had well-established carrier pigeon systems.
Although courier delivery time was long, this means of communication was surprisingly very effective and reliable, and flying to a certain location became second nature to a well-trained pigeon, much like does migrating to certain areas as the seasons change for wild birds. Pigeons can carry around 80 grams after training.
Horses have obviously been a hugely important carrier in the history of transport. Before the use of motorized vehicles, a horse was a great asset and could be used to get around, transport many letters/packages and pull heavy weights. A horse and cart could be used to transport mail great distances. The first evidence of a large spanning courier service available to the public was set up the 15th century throughout Europe, and this was completely horse based. However, smaller postal systems had been established, even in ancient civilizations. In the 700's BC, the Persian people had a horse postal system where riders would ride from one station to another, get a fresh horse and continue. Some people still use horses to relay messages in rural parts of the world.
Other Animals
Pigeons and horses are perhaps the most well-known animal for delivering messages, however many other animals were used to deliver large quantities of mail. Some of the popular ones include camels (in Australia's desert), dogs and reindeer, each of which have been more effective depending on the climate and area. In colder regions, dog-sleds were commonly used to transport messages, letters and other goods.
Human runners are one of many that have been utilized and it was common in ancient times to send a human messenger to an enemy to plot out terms for a war and our settlement. At times rulers would kill messengers if they brought bad news, hence the phrase "shooting the messenger".
Corruption in the system
Prior to the 1800's, even well-established postal systems were corrupt and disorganized. For one, it was very difficult for the lower classes to be able to afford to send goods and correspondence due to the huge prices that were charged. In England, letters and packages would actually be charged to the receiver according to a complicated algorithm that took into account the number of pages of the letter, how long it had traveled and other factors. The idea of pre-paying for stamps really revolution the industry, making it all the more affordable.

Advanced Specialized Equipment
Unit 3/ 8 South Street, Rydalmere NSW 2116
Advanced Specialized Equipment was founded in 1994. It was created by a need for high quality equipment for the cleaning and restoration industry, which had never been available in Australia. As interest grew from cleaning & restoration companies in Australia, further products we resourced and suppliers such as Steam way International, US products, Rollervac, Rotovac and Windsor made their equipment available.
The company expanded at such a rate that in October 2005 ASE moved from where they were at Silverwater to a new and much larger premises at Rydalmere. The larger warehouse and offices made it John and Grant's dream of a complete training house a reality. The fully operational and interactive flood house was built, complete with water sprinklers for flooding, 8 cameras and closed circuit television in the classroom, the Interactive Training Institute(ITI) was born.
The first Applied Structural Drying course was conducted in May 2006 by Steve Swan from Dri-Eaz and the house is now used for almost every course that is conducted. This is the only full training facility in Australia. ASE expanded its market to include not only cleaning & restoration companies, but health and aged care and also janitorial and sanitization companies.
ASE now supplies to some of Australia's biggest hospitals and cleaning companies. The introduction of a new cleaning system – Microfiber saw many changes in the industry. ASE now supplies cleaning systems, training and support to hundreds of businesses, enabling them to clean more effectively with less chemical and less effort.
As the industry accepts Microfiber as the way forward, ASE's microfiber division continues to expand dramatically. Advanced Specialized Equipment has continued to grow and now has agents and dealers and hopes to have agents to service their customers all around Australia in the coming years.
Advanced Specialized Equipment's belief is to give you,their customer the very best quality equipment, best quality service and best quality training in the industry, with supplying the only true 24hour/ 7day a week service for the industry. No requirements too small, and no needs too big.

So you have heard the term "blog" and you want to know what blogs are all about? Well, you've come to the right place! With the exponential growth of the Internet, more and more people have started to write content online. Newspapers and paper books have lost their edge and "blogging" has become "mainstream". Thousands of bloggers around the world have created a large audience and following. Many of them even generate a significant amount of money online from their blogs. I'm sure you have wondered what does it mean to be a blogger? What do bloggers do? Or What is a Blog? Hopefully, this article will give you the answers you are looking for.
The Blog Definition: What is a Blog
At its core, a "blog" has a very simple definition. It is a website which online authors and publishers (these can be both companies or private users) use as an online journal. These publishers write blogs to share information about a variety of things, be it their day to day happenings, tips, and tricks or even professional articles that help them better promote their business online. A blog can be used for a huge assortment of things, and it has a broad range of uses. Being such a versatile platform It all comes down to you to figure out what you want to use it for and why. For example, large companies like Tesla always have corporate blogs on their main websites, to share updates and information which can't fully be shared in a press release (Tesla Blog) or is content with an expiry date. One thing is sure, a blog enables you to have an online presence, and it makes it incredibly easy to connect with readers, showcase your ideas and gather the opinions of the people as well. If we look at the etymology of the word "blog" then the answer to the question "what is a blog?" becomes, even more, clearer. Initially, a blog was called a "we blog." A place on the web where you can keep a log of your daily happenings. Eventually over time as more and more people started to create and use blogs and people started to realize the enormous potential offered by this type of online platform. Web log became shortened to simply blog and the rest is history. Just try saying "web log" out loud fast multiple times and you'll see why that happened 🙂
Here are a couple more answers to "what is a blog" from veteran professional bloggers:
"A blog is a channel where you share your thoughts. Think of it as a public journal, diary, or even book. You can share personal thoughts, quick updates, or even educate others on what you learned." – Neil Patel (QuickSprout)
"For me, a blog is more than just a place to post new content on a regular (or, lately, semi-regular) basis. It's a hub for people to share their thoughts around my contributions to the industry (in my case, startups & marketing) and a home for anyone to discover new ideas about those topics." – Rand Fishkin (Moz)
So, Then What is a Blogger?
A blogger is a person who writes and maintains a blog. For example, if Jason creates a blog called "Zebra Toffee" and writes about animal zoology, Jason can call himself a "blogger." In this example the blog is the website "Zebra Toffee" and Jason is the blogger who writes and maintains this blog.
Blogging Terminology for Reference:
Here is a list of common blog vocabulary for reference. As these words are all derived from the single word "blog" it is sometimes a bit confusing to understand. For example, "I am a blogger, and I love to blog on my blog about building blogs" is a sentence that makes sense. Hopefully, the following syntax will make this a bit clearer 😉 and clearly, answer the question of what is a blog.
- Blog (noun) – short for Web Log – an online journal or diary that is on the Internet
- Blog (verb) – to write a blog – I am going to blog about this party when I get home
- Blogger (noun) – a person who writes a blog – Professional bloggers can make thousands of dollars per month from their blogs
- Blogging (verb) – the action of writing a blog – Me and my wife love blogging about our vacations around the world
- Blogosphere (noun) – all the personal websites and blogs collectively on the Internet
Why Do People Blog? & Why Is Blogging So Popular?
The most important reason why people blog and why blogging has become so popular, is that a blog allows you to directly express ideas and connect with an audience that is limitless in reach (being based on the Internet a blog is an international entity). It's the next level of social connectivity. Sure, you can could social media or use a traditional website but the blogging platform brings a sense of personal connectivity that you just can't find in the usual digital mediums of communication. The biggest reason for this "personal touch" in blogging is the fact that there are no hard and fast rules on how to blog. As a blogger, you can include as much content, pictures, links or graphics as you like and no one will say anything. A blog is a personal representation of "you" on the Internet and you can do whatever you want. You are not limited by a word count and the topics or ideas your blog covers are up to you. This is why businesses use the "blogging" platform to build trust with their audience. By writing content directly for the people, with no filter in the way, you show transparency and transparency grows trust. As an independent blogger, once you start writing about a topic and continue blogging regularly, you will find that you will build a "following". Eventually, as this audience gets larger it will become a big reason why you continue to blog. Having a group of people who read all your writing and support you 100% is very exhilarating and very addictive as a blogger. This audience will be there for you when needed, they will do all they can to share your blog with others. All you must do in return is write meaningful and professional content!
What Is a Blog for Business Use?
Unlike a regular blog focused solely on expressing ideas from a personal standpoint. Business blogs are designed with the premise of sharing company news, ideas and anything relevant that pertains to the industry. Blogs allow businesses to boost their online exposure by humanizing their company and building trust. Blogs are a great way to generate traffic online. And many online businesses use their blogs to drum up traffic and then funnel it towards their products and services.
Can You Make Money Blogging?
Blogs can earn you a significant amount of passive income online. Being a full-time "professional" blogger is a real profession. There are hundreds of popular bloggers on the Internet that make millions of dollars and even live off their blogs. Sure, these "pro" bloggers are scarce and not all bloggers will make enough money from their blogs to quit their day jobs. But a blog can still be an alternate channel of income to support you alongside you full-time job. Making $300-$400 a month is very realistic for part-time bloggers online 😎
Is It Hard to Start Blogging?
Technical know-how aside blogging will require you to write as much as you can as often as you can. If words come easy to you, then blogging should appear naturally and it won't come with any issues. However, if you are not accustomed to writing, then it will be a bit harder to start blogging. But it's certainly not something very hard or impossible to do. It just requires hard work, focus, and commitment. If you can get into the habit of writing, Blogging is a walk in the park. As for the technical part, the Internet has come a long way. Blogging platforms like WordPress or Tumblr have made it extremely easy to get a blog up and running. If you are interested there is a very detailed step-by-step guide on how to start a blog right here on Smart Blog Income that you can follow to get your very own blog up running in less than 20 minutes.
Now that you know what is a blog, I highly encourage that you should try creating one of your own; trust me, it's worth it!

Just a quick update. I wrote last week about Mat Latos's drop in velocity so far this season. While his most recent start was not particularly inspiring, I was pleased to see that his fastball velocity was up!
He also showed better swinging strike rates (9.5% vs. 7.5% for the season...still below his career average), and better strikeout rates (5k's in 5 IP). Lots of fly balls, and obviously too many home runs...but if you wear the Rose-colored classes, it's a step in the right direction!

"I like the way the firmer setup makes the RDX feel somewhat sporty and agile, but it gets a bit old after 30 miles on L.A. freeways. Should Acura have opted for a slightly softer setup? Maybe. But at the RDX's price point, I would have preferred a compromise-an electronically adjustable two-mode setup with 'sport' and 'normal' settings. While a sport mode in a CUV may seem presumptuous, it could work in this particular vehicle. I wouldn't want the RDX any softer when hammering down a twisting back road or freeway on-ramp, but it would sure be nice to have a suppler ride for long highway jaunts." At just over 24,000 miles, the RDX went in for its fourth maintenance visit, a $164.51 oil change, inspection, and tire rotation.

every sunset is different
Tanjung Aru Beach is hugely popular among tourists as well as locals. It is especially congested on weekends. Not quite the place to go for a dip, but there are many eateries and a bar or two. A great place to watch the sun go down the horizon.
early morning at the fisheries wharf
This is a busy place from midnight until early morning. The fish stalls and crowd are behind me and to my right, at the Central fish market. Many of these boats have been retired from fishing duties. However, many are now converted into charter boats for off-shore fishing, servicing the lucrative tourism industry.

Fortune, Favor & The Brave9:12 AM
Shirt: Forever 21 (no longer available, similar here)/Jeans: Zara/Tote: Walmart (and it's reversible!, similar here)/Sandals: BCBGeneration (seasons old)
I am going through some major life changes that are amazing but scary at the same time. Leaving the comfort of what you are used to doing to set out towards something new takes a lot of faith, and a lot of fear battling. A friend commented "wow that is so brave of you" after telling her about my hopes for the future. And I thought "brave"?? I am praying for strength and renewed faith every single morning to not just fall back in to my comfort. And I am only talk at this point - I always thought bravery was about the action, the heroic take down. She reminded me that bravery isn't just about running in to a burning building; faith is brave, trusting in the divine plan for you life (even when you can't imagine how you'll get there) is brave, taking the step even when you can't see the whole staircase is brave. This gave a whole new meaning to the t-shirt that I picked up a few weeks ago. Fortune favors the brave. Fortune normally means chance or luck; but to me, fortune is the blessings that come with walking in your purpose. And favor is defined as an act of kindness beyond what is due or expected. We are called to be strong and courageous - and as right as we know that is it can be scary to lean on faith. But when we fight that fear, grab hold of the bravery it takes to walk in faith, the blessings and kindness will be ours.
Bugs were everywhere! One had just hit me in the face...
"Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?" Hebrews 13: 5-6 MSG

Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot comes to BorderlandsDecember 11, 2009
More Borderlands news for you. A new DLC pack is coming to gamers by the end of the month. Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is not only bringing more arenas to the game, but also a whole new game mode. Think of ODST's Firefight or Gears of Wars 2 Horde mode.
Borderlands 2: Borderworlds?December 4, 2009
Borderlands was a freaking awesome game. So awesome that Gearbox has said they are totally doing a sequel! Destructoid posted yesterday that the Borderlands sequel may be titled Borderworlds.
This confuses me. The planet in BL was called Pandora. It was used as a prison planet cause it was the harshest planet to live on, and it had mining opportunities, plus a mythical vault that was said to be full of goodies! So will there be an introduction of new planets to the Borderlands universe? Will we be traveling between them, or will they just stick us on one the whole time? Only time will tell…or maybe Gearbox..

Oscar Mike for charityDecember 4, 2009
Anyone that's played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has heard the phrase "Oscar Mike." Some of those players didn't know what it meant, including myself, and made me think of Oscar Mayer Bologna. Oscar Mike means "On the Move."
Short review: COD:MW2 is an awesome game. The story didn't feel like the previous, this one had more of an epic action movie feel. The online is just massive. Check it out.
Giant Bomb has Oscar Mike T-shirts for purchase in their shop. The proceeds will go to the Child's Play charity fund.

No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise TrailerDecember 4, 2009
Here is the first trailer for Grasshopper Manufacture's No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise. Still no word on a U.S. release, but they have said that the motion control ( which pretty much made NMH) is being taken out of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions. This writer has only one thing to say to that; DUUUHHHHHHHHHH. I wouldn't think that anyone would expect the game to retain the motion controls for the HD consoles, even if the PS3 has a motion control set up. The Sixaxis probably isn't precise enough for it.

| Someone is wrong on
The Internet
|Log in:
xkcd is a webcomic by former NASA roboticist Randall Munroe. It is one of the most popular webcomics today, and is an influential part of geek culture. The focus is on math, science, Internet culture, and personal relationships from the perspective of an introverted geek — the same perspective shared by most of the target audience.
Although far from confrontational, xkcd has occasionally dealt with controversial topics, and is firmly and consistently pro-science. #154, for instance (see below), takes the attitude that although the scientific consensus on evolution and the age of the Earth is correct, there is no reason to be bothered by others' willful ignorance, so long as they are not in a position to make terrible laws based on that ignorance. One comic criticizes homeopathy,[1] another comic attacks global warming denialism,[2] several mock conspiracy theorists,[3][4] and another is strongly critical of pickup artists.[5] Aside from these topics, the comic is notoriously neutral when it comes to religion and politics, in contrast with its more abrasive sibling SMBC, though it made an exception to endorse Hillary Clinton over an anthropomorphized fart in one comic,[6] and skeptics have proven an acceptable target at least once.[7] Comics have criticized many logical fallacies, including appeal to moderation,[8] the gambler's fallacy,[9] and post hoc ergo propter hoc.[10]
xkcd and the Internet[edit]
Munroe has a talent for putting relatively simple ideas in amusing and memorable joke strips; as such, xkcd is often quoted, linked to, and/or embedded in a post when there's a discussion on the Internet pertaining to science, math, personal relationships, or the Internet itself. Examples include the very common use of #285 (see below), using Wikipedia's[citation needed] tag as a way of criticizing someone else's unsupported assertions, as well as...
SIWOTI syndrome[edit]
SIWOTI syndrome is a strange psychological affliction affecting many Internet users - more likely an immune response than something viral.[citation NOT needed] The abbreviation comes from "Someone is wrong on the Internet", a phrase used in #386 ("Duty Calls"). The syndrome manifests in persistent attempts at convincing people who are (definitely and indisputably) wrong that they are wrong. It is suspected that, analogous to the role of toxoplasmosis in human aggression, the syndrome is the underlying reason for the existence of Internet flame wars, of the organized skeptical movement and of this very wiki.
Joking aside, while it wasn't in the original strip, the phrase "SIWOTI syndrome" is often used, including by skeptics.[11] We'll leave to some other intrepid folklorist to determine which bright head(s) first came up with it.
Argumentum ad xkcd[edit]
Some cartoons are gross oversimplifications, outdated, or a combination of both. This is okay as it's an internet cartoon which primarly aims to amuse, but some cartoons get repeated ad nauseam as if to make a point.
The "goto" cartoon[12] is an excellent example of the latter. It's part of a general "goto is harmful" misconception, propagated by people who've never really programmed in languages with goto statements and just heard that it's harmful somewhere.[note 1] You cannot have a discussion on goto anywhere on the internet and not have this cartoon posted by a nitwit. Knowing Munroe, the comic was probably intended to mock the misconception.
The "correct horse battery staple" password cartoon[13] is both a severe oversimplification and outdated, but still gets quoted often. The problem here is that entropy is only part of what makes a strong password. Password crackers can crack these passwords with a technique known as a "combinator attack", where a cracker will read words from a dictionary and combine them.[14] Passwords such as "howdoyouthink!", "momof3gr8kids", and "ilovemySister31" can be cracked by this in very little time (when hashed but not salted) [15] and security experts recommend against using it.[16] You can still use the xkcd scheme, but you need to choose at least 6 words at random (the random bit is important and something many people get wrong).

Exhibitor Spotlight: Ross Bannatyne, Director of Marketing, VORAGO Technologies.
Ahead of exhibiting at Space Tech Expo 2018, we spoke to Ross Bannatyne, Director of Marketing at VORAGO Technologies about upcoming industry trends, the greatest challenges the space industry is currently facing and networking at the upcoming show.
Ross has spent over 25 years in the semiconductor industry based in Silicon Glen (Scotland), Silicon Valley, and Silicon Hills (Austin). In this time, Ross has worked in a variety of engineering, marketing, and management roles. Ross has published a popular textbook on programming microprocessors and an automotive electronics systems book. During the course of his career, Ross has helped create dozens of successful integrated circuits that have combined sales in the hundreds of millions. He is now leveraging that knowledge of commercial electronics to make chips for aerospace that are better, faster, and cheaper.
Which customer or market demands were the biggest drivers of your company's growth during the past three years?
The growth in 'new space' has been very timely for VORAGO. There is a demand within this customer group to increase the likelihood of mission success by using strategic components that are radiation hardened, but affordable. VORAGO take a different approach to hardening chips by leveraging commercial manufacturing and IP. We can turn around state-of-the-art designs quicker and more cost-effectively than has been achieved in the past. This model is perfect for new space.
Do you anticipate that those demands will continue to be your biggest growth drivers for the next three years, or are you anticipating new trends?
The growth will continue as the expectation for mission success of low-cost small satellites increases. A few years ago, folks accepted that many small satellites would fail because they were being created inexpensively. Now there is a lot of focus on how to best allocate the dollars in the budget to strategically spend a bit more on the components that can significantly reduce risk of failure. Fortunately for VORAGO, many developers are arriving at the conclusion that spending less than $1,000 on a rock-solid radiation hardened microcontroller is a good trade-off.
What are your areas of R&D focus, and what timeline do you anticipate for bringing your next new products to market? Can you tell us anything about those products?
We have been working hard on our next-generation microcontroller that uses a more powerful processor and is more highly integrated than our current products. The chip uses our HARDSIL technology that enables us to harden the chips against the effects of space radiation, but at the same time manufacture them in commercial wafer foundries. This means we can create space-grade chips more inexpensively than conventional approaches (that typically require boutique manufacturing or inefficient design techniques).
What new trends do you anticipate and what market demands do you see evolving/changing over the next five years?
Traditional trends in aerospace and semiconductors have actually been quite similar in nature. A reduction in size, power consumption, and cost have been driving factors in both industries. All systems now rely on an ever-increasing amount of software to be developed. In order to develop and qualify new systems quickly in the future, it will be necessary to re-use as much of this software as possible. We also see more and more functionality being squeezed into the standard CubeSat form factors – this means that electronics and connectors must be miniaturized as much as possible and don't forget power-consumption optimization!
What would you say are the key challenges and opportunities currently faced by the industry?
From an electronics perspective, we are arriving at an equilibrium between the conventional space approach and the new space approach. The conventional approach was for designers to select electronic components from a pool of expensive legacy devices that were created using specialist means. The new space approach was to throw caution to the wind a bit and use commercial off-the-shelf chips. I believe in leveraging the best of the commercial approach (the high-quality, low-cost manufacturing and state-of-the-art IP) and keeping with the parts of the conventional recipe that have proved effective for aerospace for many years (low variability, traceability, proper testing and qualification, etc.). Getting this balance right with optimized electronics will reduce project budgets and optimize mission assurance.
What is your company's approach to strategic partnerships or joint ventures, and what kinds of partnerships are you most open to exploring?
We have partnered successfully with many companies and agencies on different types of projects. We have worked on many successful small business innovation research projects and are currently engaged in projects with both the Department of Defence and NASA. We have licensed our HARDSIL technology to other semiconductor vendors who have created space-grade products based upon it and we have created system-level designs using radiation-hardened solutions. One of the biggest opportunities that we see for partnering is to improve security of supply for developers who are currently using chips that are becoming difficult to source (because they have been obsoleted for whatever reason). VORAGO can either redesign a rad-hard substitute chip or port the existing rad-hard design to a commercial fab to be manufactured using HARDSIL.
What products will you be featuring at the show this year and what response are you expecting?
We are featuring our radiation-hardened integrated circuits, technology, and solutions for space. This is our first year at Space Tech Expo, so we are very excited to be here. I'm also honored to have a speaking slot on Wednesday, May 23 at the Open Tech Forum. I will present the session 'Cost-effective component solutions to radiation harden low-budget smallsats' at 10:05am. We hope that we will open up minds to new ideas and new technologies that may help people solve their problems..
Why are you exhibiting and what connections do you hope to make there?
We enjoy meeting our existing customers and hope to meet new customers by exhibiting. Almost everything useful that we learn comes from a direct face-to-face customer conversation. We're looking forward to spending quality time talking to the interesting folks that attend the exhibits. I'm also looking forward to the conference to listen to the speakers and learn more about industry trends and the challenges that are being faced.
VORAGO Technologies will be exhibiting at Space Tech Expo 2018 at Booth 4016.

According to a report from Digital TV Europe, the indicators will be measured and made public, complementing similar measures in place for mobile networks. Arcep is also thought to be readying legislation which will impose minimum QoS requirements on broadband providers.

This mangled pile of burnt bits is all that's left of a supercar that hit a house in Wiltshire and came off worse. But what did it used to be? Who uses orange like that? Which company puts on that type of wheels? And has anyone checked to see if Richard Hammond has tweeted anything today?
The images were posted by Trowbridge Fire Station, which said there were two "walking wounded" in the vicinity, so no one died, despite the horror scene and subsequent fire. The house had to be shored up as part of a wall or porch was knocked off, and look! A wheel somehow ended over there, with this angle giving us a bit more of a clue as to the type of car that a man with a headache is currently crying about:
Apparently these are the last remains of the more, ahem, affordable £140k McLaren 570S, which would appear to have been supplied in McLaren Orange, hence the bits of shattered orange shell dotted about the scene. [Trowbridge Fire Station via the Guardian]

N° 41–1994: ESA astronaut returns from space
14 November 1994
European Space Agency astronaut Jean-Francois Clervoy and five NASA astronauts returned to Earth today aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis after a highly successful 11-day atmospheric research mission.
The Shuttle glided to a perfect landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, touching down at 16h33 Central European Time (CET), after bad weather diverted the Shuttle from a planned landing at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The astronauts disembarked from the Shuttle about an hour later.
The flawless California landing marks the end of a mission that has improved our understanding of Earth's precious atmosphere and furthered international cooperation.
European experiments formed an important part of the ATLAS atmospheric laboratory. The Belgian-led SOLCON and French-led SOLSPEC experiments both gathered data on the Sun's energy and its variations. The SOLCON and SOLSPEC instruments were mainly operated remotely from the Belgian Space Remote Operations Centre (BSROC) in Brussels using a telescience system set up by ESA.
Scientists involved in SOLCON say their instrument has worked perfectly during the mission. "The solar constant measurements obtained thus far are consistent with the solar constant data set we deduced during the previous ATLAS missions", said SOLCON Principal Investigator Dr. Dominique Crommelynck.
SOLSPEC readings appear extremely accurate and comparable with those of other instruments flown aboard Atlantis that operate in the same wavelengths. The data will be used to detect trends in the Sun's energy output that affect the atmosphere and climate of our planet. "For SOLSPEC, the Atlas 3 mission is already a great success due to the quality of the measurements which have been carried out and the absence of technical problems", said SOLSPEC Principal Investigator Dr. Gerard O. Thuillier.
During the flight Clervoy participated in interviews with European television and press reporters in the US and Paris, France. On this important mission to study Earth's fragile environment, the beauty of the planet struck Clervoy. He said in an interview : "It's indescribable. It's so beautiful, really magnificent. You could call it the blue beauty. You never get tired of the sunrises and sunsets".
Jean-Francois Clervoy played an important role in the mission, using the Shuttle's robot arm to deploy a German atmospheric research satellite, called CRISTA-SPAS, and conducting other experiments within the Shuttle's cabin. He also tested a special seat that will be used next year when Atlantis docks with the Russian Mir space station. In this seat astronauts and cosmonauts will be able to return to Earth in a reclining position after long-duration Mir flights.
The CRISTA-SPAS satellite was retrieved by the Shuttle's robot arm as planned on 12 November. The Shuttle rendez- voused with the spacecraft using the new approach for the future Shuttle Mir docking mission. The link-up of the Shuttle with Mir next year is of particular significance to ESA because the Shuttle will return with materials science samples from the recently completed EUROMIR 94 mission.
Clervoy is the second ESA astronaut to fly in space as a Shuttle mission specialist. Claude Nicollier was the first, and Maurizio Cheli has completed training at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a mission specialist and is awaiting his first flight.

There are a lot of skeptics when it comes to whether merchants should use group buying sites like Groupon.
For good reason too: there are enough horror stories to demonstrate that heavy discounting and lots of customers can be a really, really bad combination.
But the viability of group buying sites themselves is increasingly called into question. Groupon, the 800 pound gorilla of the space, went public last year, giving everyone a glimpse into is finances. Finances which showed lots of revenue but heavy losses.
Apparently, building a group buying business isn't just expense for Groupon. Amazon-backed LivingSocial is considered a strong number two in the market and some believe it to be better managed.
But thanks to Amazon's most recent K-10 filing, we now know that LivingSocial eats up money too. In 2011, LivingSocial pulled in $245m in revenue, but had $686m in operating expenses and $117m in other expenses, leaving an operating loss of over a half a billion dollars. Geekwire adds some much-needed detail:
A person familiar with LivingSocial says the revenue would have been significantly higher had it included the company's full international results for the year, which were boosted in part by a series of overseas acquisitions. In addition, the bottom line was impacted by heavy marketing expenses, as the company sought to grab market share, and those expenses were concentrated heavily at the beginning of last year.
The losses also reflect non-cash items such as stock compensation for employees, as the company grew from 600 employees to 5,000 over the course of the year, and expanded from three international markets to 20.
This makes the LivingSocial financials look a little bit less bad, but they're hardly attractive, raising the question: is this really substantial profit potential in this market?
Perhaps, but both Groupon and LivingSocial hint that it's not exactly easy. From customer acquisition to international expansion, it takes a lot of money to make a lot of money in this space. While the paper version of the yellow pages might be effectively dead, employing thousands of sales representatives to lure local merchants into doing deals isn't exactly a capital-efficient business either.
The bad news is that things could get worse. Merchants are increasingly hip to the downsides of discounting, and the commoditisation of these sites will only place further pressures on margins, as group buying companies are pushed by merchants to reduce their commissions. That could be bad news for LivingSocial, even if it eventually does manage to catch up to and dethrone Groupon.

Mr. Bush called his mother's action "straightforward," and added that it illustrated "how my mom and I developed a relationship." Some opponents ofreacted approvingly. Other commentators called Mrs. Bush's behavior the action of a depressed and angry person.
But experts say the incident is hard to interpret half a century after the fact. Indeed, it was extraordinary in at least one respect, they add: Mrs. Bush made a point of directly confronting the loss at a time when the subject was largely taboo.
When a middle-class woman miscarried in postwar America, doctors often whisked the fetus away as if there were no loss of life at all, only embarrassment; women whispered about it between themselves but hardly ever discussed it openly.
"It wasn't thought of as losing a life; it was more like a medical mishap," said Dr. Randi Hutter Epstein, a physician and the author of "Get Me Out: A History of Childbirth" (Norton, 2010). "And although women felt it privately, they didn't feel it was worthy of going to see someone, or seeking help."
