Operating Systems

PlayStation 4 Will Be Running Modified FreeBSD 457

Posted by samzenpus
from the under-the-hood dept.
jones_supa writes "This discovery comes nicely alongside the celebration of FreeBSD's 20th birthday, for all the UNIX nerds. The operating system powering the PlayStation 4 is Orbis OS, which is a Sony spin of FreeBSD 9.0. It's not a huge surprise FreeBSD is being used over Linux, in part due to the more liberal licensing. The PlayStation 4 is x86-64 based now rather than Cell-based, which makes it easier to use FreeBSD. BSDs in general currently lack manufacturer supported full-feature AMD graphics driver, which leads to the conclusion that Sony and AMD have likely co-developed a discrete driver for the PS4. Some pictures of the development kit boot loader (GRUB) have been published too."

Google Mine will reportedly soon be integrated with Google+ so that users can share their belongings with friends in circles they so designate. The new service will also allow G+ users to rate and review items as well, so that anyone in your Google+ stream that you allow, can see the items and your opinion of them. Reportedly there is also an Android app on the way for Mine, which seems like a natural of course, for sharing your stuff on the go. What's perhaps most interesting about the prospects of Google+ Mine could be the secondary benefit that Google receives from data 'mining' your shares on the items you own, use or want."

A Different Approach To Making Alternative Fuels Practical 90

Posted by samzenpus
from the step-by-step dept.
First time accepted submitter overmod writes "Browsing on a completely unrelated subject, I came across this New York Times description of Solazyme. From the article: '...in 2003, Mr. Wolfson packed up and moved from New York to Palo Alto, Calif., where Mr. Dillon lived. They started a company called Solazyme. In mythical Valley tradition, they worked in Mr. Dillon’s garage, growing algae in test tubes. And they found a small knot of investors attracted by the prospect of compressing a multimillion-year process into a matter of days. Now, a decade later, they have released into the marketplace their very first algae-derived oil produced at a commercial scale. Yet the destination for this oil — pale, odorless and dispensed from a small matte-gold bottle with an eyedropper — is not gas tanks, but the faces of women worried about their aging skin.' What I find interesting is the model they've adopted for short-term growth, which I would not have seen coming from a technology oriented toward biofuel production. Leads me to wonder what other nominally-green technologies that would otherwise be slow if not impossible to scale to workable businesses might have 'niche' applications, with high perceived marginal value, that could be used to boost capital, rather than relying on donations, grants, or nebulous save-the-planet goodwill."

Disney Research Creates Megastereo - Panoramas With Depth 48

Posted by samzenpus
from the getting-a-good-look dept.
mikejuk writes "Disney Research has made a breakthrough in implementing the technique of acquiring depth information from a simple camera scan of a scene. For a perfect panorama you need to rotate the camera around its optical center, i.e. just rotate the camera. However, if you just rotate the camera about itself you don't get any parallax effects — which is why it makes the stitching together easier. If you want to get 3D information from the sequence of shots you need parallax. This means rotating the camera mounted on an offset arm or just moving the camera along an arc in your outstretched hand. The big problem with this method is that the parallax makes it more difficult to fit the mosaic together, and this is the problem that the research team has been working on. Using a range of different scanning methods the results can be converted into high resolution panoramas automatically complete with 3D information."

Google Fiber Adds 14th City: Lee's Summit 81

Posted by samzenpus
from the welcome-to-the-club dept.
symbolset writes "On Thursday night the Lee's Summit city council passed three resolutions to welcome Google Fiber to their community. This is the 12th community in the Kansas City Metro Area to welcome Google Fiber and the 14th city overall. The KC map now covers almost all of the KC metro area with parts in both Kansas and Missouri. 8 months into the rollout two fiberhoods have been completed, 30 more are underway and 50 more are to start by the end of summer. This covers most of the territory of both Kansas Citys ahead of schedule and completes before the end of winter so the timeline has been accelerated. As Google runs their fiber across town it appears they're putting backbones down the major thoroughfares to be trunks out to the wider communities. With Provo wired with fiber already, Austin to start next, it looks like Google Fiber's ambitions are not to deliver their symmetric gigabit uncapped, unfiltered, inexpensive fiber Internet to just a few privileged enclaves. They still have over 1,000 cities left to go who have already petitioned to be Google Fiber cities, so it's not like they're going to run out of work."

Oracle and Microsoft To Announce Cloud Partnership Monday 82

Posted by Soulskill

symbolset writes "While some might liken the deal to the Empire joining up with the Trade Federation, there may be some interesting outcomes for this one. On Monday Microsoft and Oracle are expected to announce a 'cloud" partnership'. Although the two companies often seem to be at odds, two of their founders — Bill Gates and Larry Ellison — are partners in charity in the 'giving pledge.' Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? 'Oracle is battling an image not of growing up, but of growing old. On Thursday the company announced lower than expected earnings, which it ascribed to a tough economy overseas. Cloud-based software grew well, but remains a small part of its overall revenue. The company also said it would raise its dividend and announced a big stock buyback, behaviors usually undertaken by tech companies when they begin to grow more slowly.'"

US Hacked Chinese University Network 330

Posted by Soulskill
from the plot-thickens dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reports that Tsinghua University, widely regarded as the mainland's top education and research institute, was the target of extensive hacking by U.S. spies this year, according to information leaked by Edward Snowden. The information also showed that the attacks on Tsinghua University were intensive and concerted efforts. In one single day of January, at least 63 computers and servers in Tsinghua University have been hacked by the NSA. The university is home to one of the mainland's six major backbone networks, the China Education and Research Network from where internet data from millions of Chinese citizens could be mined. Universities in Hong Kong and the mainland were revealed as targets of NSA's cyber-snooping activities last week when Snowden claimed the Chinese University of Hong Kong had been hacked." The U.S. government is reportedly hacking into Chinese mobile phone companies as well for access to text messages. In related news, the U.S. has asked Hong Kong to extradite Snowden, and the petition to pardon him has met that 100,000 signature threshold required for an official response from the administration.

ShadowRage's Journal: Minute Linux

Journal by ShadowRage

working on a project called minute linux, it'll offer a customizeable linux system for that older machine collecting dust in the attic, and will also provide upgrades for existing projects like small linux.

anyways, I need some suggestions, like how to boot a minixfs system using the bootblocks part of the linux86 package with an i386 kernel (it'll already work with the 8086 port, which already has more progress than the i386 version of minute)

that and any good resources for a small login prompt and where I can get a good mailing list set up.

it also uses a package manager called mglit which is lean and provides some functionality, after the first release of mglit and minute, I'll publish ways to make packages with mglit.

According to the story, "Donnie Collins, 20, a sophomore at Emerson College in Boston, was born female but has been living as a male since he was 17..." and had joined a male fraternity (females go to a "sorority" ; it's Latin, live with it), but his health insurance (American for "citizen's medical service", approximately) wouldn't pay for the surgery to remove his breasts. So, the men in his accommodation grouped together to raise the money for the surgery.

Yahoo's editors (or Reuters, the source of the story) are obviously puzzled about the motivation of the fraternity men. But it seems obvious to me : the severed breasts are going to be mummified and nailed to the wall of the living room. Once the "girl" has gone."

+ - Ancestor of All Placental Mammals Revealed->

Submitted by sciencehabit
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "The ancestor of all placental mammals—the diverse lineage that includes almost all species of mammals living today, including humans—was a tiny, furry-tailed creature that evolved shortly after the dinosaurs disappeared, a new study suggests. The hypothetical creature, not found in the fossil record but inferred from it, probably was a tree-climbing, insect-eating mammal that weighed between 6 and 245 grams—somewhere between a small shrew and a mid-sized rat. It was furry, had a long tail, gave birth to a single young, and had a complex brain with a large lobe for interpreting smells and a corpus callosum, the bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The period following the dinosaur die-offs could be considered a "big bang" of mammalian diversification, with species representing as many as 10 major groups of placentals appearing within a 200,000-year interval."

I hung up. A minute later I rang again. 'Hello,' I said, 'I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. You don't have to hurry now, because I've shot them.'
Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, plus helicopters and an armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed.

Comment: That's not how warrants work (Score 1) 2

by An Anonymous Coward (#41876889) Attached to: Skype illegally hands personal details to IT-firm

You seem to be a little backwards on how warrants work. Warrants are tools for the police officers to obtain information that they might not otherwise be privy to, they are not a restriction on what information the police are able to have. Your statement, "The police didn't ask for the information yet got it anyway." seems to indicate you believe that the police aren't authorized to be in possession of any data they didn't have a warrant for; this is completely untrue. The police can ask for whatever data they wish at any time, and the company is free to decide whether or not they want to comply. It's when the company says "no" that the police can try to get a warrant from a judge. If the judge issues the warrant, now the company is forced into complying with the officer.

TL;DR: Warrants don't restrict the police, they restrict the ones the police deal with.

Well sure, if we could actually observe the weather on this planet and confirm or refine our speculations, that would be great. Unfortunately, the technology to do so is well beyond our means at this point. By the time we actually are able to directly observe this planet, our weather models will probably be much more refined as well.

I'm reminded of the planet discovered over a year ago that was tidally locked to its star, which created a habitable zone circling the planet where the light from the star would hit it at an oblong angle, creating a zone of essentially perpetual twilight where life could form. We had quite a few ideas already for what the environment on this planet must be like, until further measurements of the star system revealed that the "planet" was really just minor errors in the calculations of the star's wobble, and there wasn't even a planet there to begin with.

This article isn't "just knowledge for knowledge's sake." Indeed, it seems to be purely speculation for speculation's sake. I'm actually very concerned by the line in the summary, "With patience and cunning, more than you might think," because that really implies we know a lot more about what we're talking about than we actually do. I'll just be happy when the weather forecaster on TV can accurately tell me the weather for the next week.

The misunderstanding of the registry's use is always what people hated about it, sadly.

Because its nearly impossible to edit a file remotely through scripting. Right..

Besides if Microsoft went this route they would modify the interface so you could still use policys to edit it just as you always did.

Using “web crawler” software designed to search, index and back up a website, Mr. Snowden “scraped data out of our systems” while he went about his day job, according to a senior intelligence official. “We do not believe this was an individual sitting at a machine and downloading this much material in sequence,” the official said. The process, he added, was “quite automated.”

The findings are striking because the N.S.A.’s mission includes protecting the nation’s most sensitive military and intelligence computer systems from cyber attacks, especially the sophisticated attacks that emanate from Russia and China. Mr. Snowden’s “insider attack,” by contrast, was hardly sophisticated and should have been easily detected, investigators found.'"

One way to tackle the surging data breach epidemic is with a technology called “whitelisting.” It’s not going to sound too sexy to the average end user and frankly, even CIOs may find it unfashionable but in short, whitelisting is a method of locking-down a machine such that only trusted executables, DLLs and other necessary system and application components are allowed to run – everything else is denied.

The idea is to start with a known, clean system installation and then lock it down in that state so absolutely nothing can be changed. If you follow system security, regardless of your opinion on the concept of whitelisting, it’s pretty clear the traditional conventions of AV, anti-malware, intrusion detection and prevention are no longer working."

Your theory flies in the face of history. Spam now represents the majority of email sent and they only need a fraction of a percent in return in order to reap a significant reward to justify their efforts. This particular clever exploit has been around how long undetected? And all they have to do is take the same code and inject it into the next extension they buy, or roll out. This is even better than spam.

Google's main reason for getting involved in this one is that it's leeching off of their core business. I guarantee that's not something they'll let slide.

Qbertino (265505) writes "I’ve been rumaging around on old backups and cleaning out my stuff and have once again run into my expert-like paranoid backups and keepsakes from back in the days (2001). I’ve got, among other things, a full installset of Debian 3 CDs, an original StarOffice 6.0 CD including a huge manual in mint condition, Corel Draw 9 for Linux, the original box & CDs — yes it ran on a custome wine setup, but it ran well, I did professional design and print work with it.

I’ve got more of other stuff lying around, including the manuals to run it. Loki Softs Tribes 2, Kohan, Rune and the original Unreal Tournament for Linux have me itching too. :-)

I was wondering if it would be possible to do an old 2001ish setup of a linux workstation on some modern supercheap, supersmall PC (Rasberry Pi? Mini USB PC?), install all the stuff and give it a spin. What problems should I expect? Vesa and Soundblaster drivers I’d expect to work, but what’s with the IDE HDD drivers? How well does vintage Linux software from 2003 play with todays cheap system-on-board MicroPCs? What’s with the USB stuff? Wouldn’t the install expect the IO devices hooked on legacy ports? Have you tried running 10-15 year old Linux setups on devices like these and what are your experiences? What do you recommend?"

+ - Would you now bet on server side JavaScript (Node.js)?

Submitted by Qbertino
Qbertino (265505) writes "How realistic is it to place most bets on server side JavaScript / Node.js rather than a P language (PHP/Perl/Python)?

Back in the day, when Netscape had the only useful web server, server-side scripting was done with JavaScript — that was somewhere around 96 or so. Along came LAMP and got rid of proprietary solutions (for the most part that is) and somehow PHP got critical mass for being at the right place at the right time and having good documentation and a very low bar of entry.

However things have changed. Flash as a rich client technology is basically dead, just about everything web-based done client side has its logic coded in JavaScript, and with HTML 5 & CSS 3 being the go-to platform of today (also for wrapped x-platfrom mobile apps) and Node.js has recruited the remarkable V8 JS VM for serverside stuff. I’m now seriously considering the move away from PHP / Python to JavaScript for non-trivial server side development aswell. It would be so cool to have one PL for everything, and finally getting rid of PHP / mod_php doesn’t really hurt either.

I am wondering if it is feasible to bet on server side JS and Node.js in particular for large non-trivial web apps. I’m talking about Apps with the functional depth compareable to Pimcore or Typo3 here.

Concrete Example: Let’s say a client would come up to me and say he want’s a custom DTP platform that runs entirely on the web, with heavy Ajax/JS/HTML Canvas coding in the client (modern HTML 5 browsers) and a large app model in the backend (x86 Linux with print PDF generation and lots of other features).
Would you say it’s a risk worth taking to do the lions share of server side logic in JS running on Node.js with C/C++ extensions to Node.js for the speed-critical parts (Node offers some neat features in that dept) or would you suggest to play it safe and use existing PHP setups and toolkits, such as Zend or Symfony for such a thing? I’d say if the client is heavy JS lifting already, you might aswell use the same PL on the server — especially since I know how to abstract persistence and app layer, no matter the PL and could probably write the framework for all my persistence needs in a week. That would be a week in a project planned for 6 — 10 months.

Basically it would mean to restrict PHP work to quick and simple hacks on existing platforms such as Wordpress, Drupal or Typo3 and do every other from-scratch‘ project on JS / Node.js from here on out.

What do you think? Feasible or just to risky? What would you do? Have you been itching to go full force on Node.js yourself? Educated opinions of slashdotters desperately needed. Thanks."

Submitted by Qbertino
Qbertino (265505) writes "Hi fellow slashdotters. I've got a problem. Basically I'm the regular Type A 80ies computer-geek, starting programming on a Sharp PC (PocketComputer) 1402 back in 1986 and been coding for money since the web-boom back in 2000-2001. There is one thing that has been bugging me ever since, and that is the developer communitys obsession with SQL as a means to automatically access persistance from the app layer. I'm not quite sure if it may just be MySQL, but the strange, human-communication-emulation syntax of SQL and it's ever-present ambiguity never fail to piss me off on a day-to-day basis.

However, I now have a job that requires me to become at least mid-range fluent in MySQL. Modifying the setup to avoid MySQLs SQL, such as adding ORM layers or frameworks, is not an option, for various reasons, some of them silly, some of them quite resonable. One being that we actually do access and analyse data direct and manually — what SQL originaly was built for.

My specific questions:
What can I do to get solid results and make measurable progress with non-trivial SQL (JOINs and beyond) whilst not constantly running into MySQL annoyances like, f.i. its bizar error messages to often?

What strategies do you recommend for a born SQL hater to grow a little acceptance and get to learn to handle the strangeness of this PL? Maybe a book of sorts that adresses issues more experience developers may have with (My)SQL? Perhaps you have some personal advice on how you tackled this problem — if you had it?

Finally, what do you recommend to get more firm and less confused with the non-trivial pieces of set theory and day-to-day data analysis ... books, online resources, games/riddles or excercises and explanations for pratice? I'd like to get quicker and more fluent at this in general.

Thanks for your input."

+ - What's the best State-of-the-Art FOSS Product for Java (Web) Projects?

Submitted by Qbertino
Qbertino (265505) writes "Hi Slashdotters. After 12 years of realtive abstinence I'm looking to get my hands dirty with Java again and thought I'd do so by attempting one of the countless non-trivial Web projects on my idea list. I'm looking for something that removes a few layers of the crufty LAMP stack that so many of us got used to, in order to compensate for the Java typical hassles I'll inevitably run into. For this I'm looking for a FOSS Java Product (Framework, Toolkit, Enterprise CMS, Appserver, whatever) that has a certain set of features and attributes (see below). I've allways been keeping an eye on the PHP and Python projects on a regular basis, but couldn't say so about Java, so I need some input from you guys.

The following attributes are a must:

1.) Must be a pro-level/enterprise tool, meaning: When I learn it in the end I should be closer to typical enterprise products like jBoss, Glassfish, Oracle Whatever, SAP Whatnot, IBM Websphere, etc. with the knowledge gained. Ergo: Not some avantgarde experiment that has me crying myself to sleep once I get a gig at some Java shop that uses todays regular products, but something that prepares me for the things to come. At least a little.

2.) I'm willing to use some avantgarde stuff if it is stuff I can easyly integrate into existing enterprise toolstacks later in my career (SAP, Oracle, IBM, ect.) without having to install countless things below the regular Java level. Or obscure Java Libs that are a licencing liability to my employer/client.

3.) This one's a little contradiction with point 1: I which it to have absolutely zero fuss in integrating application and persistance. Think Zope/Plone. If I build a type/entity I want to do that exactly once and only once and I do not want to be manually editing XML in order to do so. Best would be if it had some kind of modeller where I can click together my entities and objects, maybe in some Java Application or a Web/Ajax Backend Interface (very fancy I know). I wish to avoid seperate persistance level logic programming with a specific language (read: No SQL or XML Situps!) entirely. In other words: In terms of persistance/applevel integration I really would like to leave the current state of things which to me appears to have been stuck in the early 90ies. I have no problem if this is all covered by fully automated scaffolding/crud or whatever and tons of autogenerated SQL in the background — I just would like to avoid having to deal with seperate layers alltogether whilst prototyping. Basically I'd like to stick to building my objects/types in Java and nothing else.

4.) The product should be either a one-command install on x86 Debian stable and other x86 Linux distros or should be easy to deploy manually with just a runtime as a prerequesite and a jar or something. Likewise it should be easy to deploy the required runtime environment and sub-libs on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. It should have a webserver option that is production ready and tried-and-true tested. It would be nice if that webserver option would either be an intergrated HTTP thingie inside the Java product or a first-choice integration with a FOSS HTTP Server binary that is *not* Apache, like lightHttpd or whatever the newest hype in enterprise ready lightweight HTTP-thingies is. I'd like to avoid Apache Configuration hassles just as I'd like to avoid SQL hassles.

6.) It should be established as a product — at least in the FOSS community (not just on one obscure mailinglist somewhere deep in the massive Apache Java Project grabbag) or be notably promising with a small company or dedicated team behind it. Something like PHPs ZendFW, Symphony, the Typo3 or Rails community — they've got a hang at pushing their stack in respective markets. (I.E.: Their websites don't look like shit and the projects opinion leaders actually know that marketing is important — even for a FOSS product) If it's a young but promising project I have no trouble helping out once I'm up to speed, so don't hesitate to advertise your own below, just don't ignore the requirements above completely.

Bonus points if the product has a braggable enterprise customer/user list and a real shot at pissing into the soup of the established players (Oracle, SAP, IBM, etc.).

Number 6 and 7 are nice to haves:

6.) Native integration with a well-established seasoned Ajax Toolkit like Sencha/Ext3, jQuery UI, Tipco GI or something of the sort. Perferably with a FOSS interface builder along with it.

  7.) Built with zero-fuss Mobile App integration (Android & iOS) in mind, since I think we all agree that that is the next big thing. Perhaps Android/iOS Libs already in place/available or something like that.

Thanks for you input, it's allway a great help."

+ - Late-ish Career Boost via degree: CS or Business Informatics?

Submitted by Qbertino

I'm in my early 40ies and after a little more than 10 years of web, scripting and software development as a freelancer and some gigs as a regular fulltime employee I'm seriously considering giving my IT career a boost to be more able to move up the food chain by getting a degree. I'm your regular 80ies computer kid and made a career switch to IT during the dot-bomb days. Now I'm with quite a bit of programming and project experience but sans a degree and find myself hitting somewhat of a glass ceiling with maybe a little age discrimination thrown in there — i.e. at my age you're either moving up the ladder or out. Since I'm in Germany, degrees count a lot (70% of IT staff have a degree) so getting one seems fitting and a nice touch to my portfolio. However, I'm pondering wether I should go for CS ('Informatics / Informatik' in German) or Business Informatics.

I'd like to move into Projekt Management or Technical Account Management and am in a little dilemma: CS gives me the pro credibility and proves my knowledge with low-level and tech stuff and I'd be honing my C/C++ and *nix skills and emphasising my tech cred. BI would teach me some bean-counting skills, I'd be doing modelling, ERP with Java or .Net all day (creepy, I know) and give me some BA cred but I'd lose karma with the T-Shirt wearing crew and the decision makers in that camp. Help me make my move with some educated opinions please. I'm leaning a little toward BI because I suspect that's where the money is in my case, but am not quite sure wether a classic CS degree wouldn't still be better — even if I'm wearing a suit. Any suggestions?"

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the world will end because of this, but I do think people will have to move away from IT in order to reclaim their lives and that this will hurt our field of expertise where it actually *is* usefull and meant to advance humanity. On the other hand, people are starting to think this is normal. They don't see the nature of computers or the web, but simply take it in without even reflecting it. And the scary part about it is that no matter how ineffective it is, it is actually more effective for everyday life to mostly stear clear of IT and not become to dependant on it. Which — as I see it — only IT experts can actually really do proactively. What I'm saying is that more and more I see it becoming increasingly difficult to actually see the work I do actually benefit the people around me.

Strangercrombie Item of My Dreams

posted by on December 12 at 9:38 AM

Dina Martina Covers the Song of Your Choice.

Currently at $280, this priceless item allows the winner to request the song of his or her choice to be sung (and recorded) by the one and only Dina Martina.

This year’s Strangercrombie boasts a number of great custom-cover-song packages, starring Visqueen, the Presidents of the United States of America, the Posies, Erin Jorgensen, and more, but it’s the Dina package that haunts my dreams.

If God were kind enough to let me win the Dina pack, I fear that I would be paralyzed by the privilege. There are so many songs I would be ecstatic to hear Dina Martina perform that choosing one is painful.

On one side are the Dina Martina classics, songs she’s covered in her shows over the years that I’d love to have recordings of: “Bette Davis Eyes,” “Year of the Cat,” “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” “In the Ghetto.”

On the other side are all the songs I’d love to hear Dina attack, including but not limited to: “Wind Beneath My Wings” (Dina could make great hay of the lovingly insulting lyrics), Tori Amos’s “Me and a Gun,” and “Loving You Is Easy ‘Cause You’re Beautiful” (just to see what happens when Dina confronts that note). (And, of course, “Smell Yo Dick.”)

    Available from Beatport:

    The consistently on point DJ W!ld joins forces with London imprint Act Natural to deliver thefantastic 'After You Lay Down' EP this September. Act Natural have moved from strength to strength over the past year, releasing original cuts and remixes from the likes of Chris Carrier, Matt Tolfrey, Huxley, Alex Arnout, Adam Shelton and Claire Ripley, capturing theessence of contemporary house with style. Paris based DJ W!ld is yet another addition to the outstanding roster, providing his deep, dark, acid sound that is often represented through his own outputs and music he put out via his own Catwash Records.

    Opening track 'After You Lay Down' draws on organic percussion as its driving force, an amalgamation ofcrisp hats, shakers and worldly percussion creates an infectious swing. Short sharp stabbing synths, a hypnotic flute like hook and bright chords concoct a solid groove that slowly blossoms to a breaking point. W!ld then strips back the prominent drum and percussive elements, playing on the melodic structure of the piano for the duration.

    For 'Ouinon 2' the French producer gets in touch with his deeper side, field recordings of conversations and city streets fill the background with atmospherics, while a warbling Rhodes sequence emanates pure elegance. The beautiful melodies persevere for several minutes before a looped guitar lick is worked in to further fuel the enchanting energy.

    'The One For Me' closes the release in style, featuring low-slung drum programming, a deep spoken word vocal uttering 'Love, Is...' and a wonderfully sampled piano melody that lays on the 4/4 beat creating a kinetic feel. The track comes in to fruition with a warm electronic bass hook giving off a sturdy peak time cut. 'Filter House' tactics are employed as sweeps and cuts are subtly incorporated for its seven-minute duration resulting in flourishing dynamism.

    Ancient legend warns young men out walking at night of an evil spirit that takes the form of a beautiful woman. The Xtabay. This female deity of the hunt is said to hide in the buttressed trunk of the kapok tree. If, while passing this tree at night, you catch a fleeting glimpse of an enchanting woman combing her long hair with cactus spines, avert your gaze and don't stray from the path…

    TKDE's wintery encounter with the Xtabay has become a 9 minute epic journey of doom, drones, jazz and post-rock. Another soundtrack to a new short story.

    As part of the TKDE October 2012 mini-tour Xtabay has been remixed by four favorite and befriended producers to give different twists and interpretations to the Xtabay legend.
    Remixers are 9 Hoad (better known as Limewax), Fanu, Roel Funcken (of Funckarma fame) and Balkansky.

I'm having a problem importing modules from jar files.

I have the jar files in my classpath when I'm running jython interpreter and it cannot find the modules that i'm importing, unless I add the directories where the jar files are located in the jyhton source code as well, using sys.path.append

If I run exactly the same jython code using the interp.execfile("program.py")  from within a java program with the same classpath, it works just fine and I do't have to append the directories in the sys.path.

It seems odd to me that interp.execfile does work with the classpath set for the JVM and the jython interpreter itself doesn't.

One thing you should do is create a new working directory with

to that new working directory and change the config appropriately.

Thanks, Christoph.

This does indeed work.

So there must be some other corruption of the config files. And sure enough I found the offensive bit. In my contexts area in Application.config , I had something like this:

Contexts = {}
approot = '/data/apps'
Contexts['pp'] = approot + 'pp/us/servlets'
Contexts['sp'] = approot + 'sp/servlets'
Contexts['default'] = Contexts['sp']

Assuming that Contexts was a dictionary, I assigned the value of 'default' to the value of 'sp'. In the example config from a clean workdir, it looks more like this:

Contexts['default'] = 'sp'

SO, I guess that 'default' has some special logic behind it to look up another key. That's a new one for me.

Thanks for your troubleshooting help!

School District Re-Instates Security Guards

Four security positions were eliminated from the budget this year, but the Board of Education voted to restore them.

While the approval of the 2012-13 school budget meant the elimination of four elementary school security guard positions, those guards were back on duty on Monday at Setauket Elementary, W.S. Mount Elementary, Nassakeag Elementary, and Minneauke Elementary.

Their re-instatement was a unanimous decision at the Jan. 22 Board of Education meeting.

"As we re-evaluate the district’s security needs, we are now in the process of bringing people back," Gary Dabrusky, assistant superintendent for human resources, said during the meeting.

Arrowhead Elementary along with the two junior high schools and Ward Melville High School had retained security guards despite the budget cuts.

Security guards the elementary schools are paid $16.94 per hour, according to district records. They do not receive benefits. Patch previously reported that Three Village school officials have said the district's security guards are retired law enforcement professionals.

The move comes as the Three Village school district examines its school security procedures and protocols in the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Patch previously reported that Three Village school officials said they won't use armed security guards but that they would step up other security measures in all of its schools.

"As a mom, I am very pleased the security guards are back in place at the four elementary schools," school board trustee Deanna Bavlnka told Patch.

School board vice president Jonathan Kornreich said while security measures such as adding vestibules are necessary, he would also like to see more attention placed on expanding social services within the school community to address the issue of "mental and physical violence" that often causes one to feel marginalized and present a danger to themselves or others.

"In a climate of acute fear, there is an obvious reflex to harden our schools, to add new security features and to bring in more guards," he said. "Some of these improvements are absolutely necessary. ... However, devoting our limited resources to help create the illusion that we can make our schools impregnable fortresses may hinder our ability to pursue strategies which may make a bigger difference over the long term."

The school board is expected to revisit the security topic at its next meeting on Feb. 12, Bavlnka said.

All the positive vibes, hugs and human shields aren't going to stop a bullet. I'd much rather hug my child that was saved by an armed guard, than to hug my child before closing the casket cover. The School District just failed our kids (Again) and following them is a Parade of Morons with an inability to reason, because it conflicts with their ideology. They can't comprehend in their feeble minds a similar situation to Sandy Hook. They are just banking on that it will never happen here. so they don't have to give it serious rational thought, because it will just go away like the 16 trillion dollar debt. They know damn well that if a lunatic broke into one of our schools, and their kid was in the school, they would prefer well trained armed guards with tactical training to confront the intruder, instead of team hugs No, they just long for the day when everyone will be disarmed witn no more crime, mental health counseling will make everyone a sane Pollyanna, global warming will stop and we will all live happily ever after.

Cody...our security guards are not allowed to be outside the schools...they MUST be inside per Administration rules...instead of dumping on these guys, you might want to talk to one of them...you will be amazed the things you learn about what the Administration is REALLY doing!!!

EG, I do not think anyone is saying that mental health is the solution. That said, as someone who works with teens, I am sure you can imagine the anger that many of them experience. Teens struggle with dysfunctional parents, divorce, drug and alcohol issues, self-hatred, peer pressure, etc. etc. Without adequate coping skills and support from family or professionals, an individual may indeed end up hurting themselves or others. Helping people to manage their anger goes a long way....

Mary, I absolutely agree that children should have access to quality mental health care. Their anger and frustration is only going increase as they mature and realize the scope of the economic child abuse that has been inflicted on them by this generation. The realization that they owe personally over $50,000 of national debt and because those that gave them that debt aren't going to pay up the figure is more realistically over $220,000 and rising fast. They'll come to realize that they live in a society that punishes success and encourages government dependency and if they manage to succeed, they'll be demonized for not paying their fair share. I guess coping skills is the least we can do for the kids after destroying their future.

For our rationally impaired School Board The case for armed security. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/world/55742445-68/shooting-atlanta-police-says.html.csp I know they still won't get it, so I'll try to find something in a third grade reader form with lots of illustrations and maybe some rhymes.
