In those days, Cotton was into soul as well as blues -- witness his raucous versions of "Knock on Wood" and "Turn on Your Lovelight," backed by a large horn complement. Compiler Dick Shurman has chose judiciously from his uneven pair of Verve follow-ups, making for a very consistent compilation. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide"

He vowed to use "every legal means" to stop the no-confidence vote to unseat his minority Conservative government and replace it with an opposition-led coalition./ppIf the coalition succeeds, it would be the first time a Canadian government has been thrown out by a no-confidence vote and replaced without an election./ppA cabinet minister has suggested that Harper would ask Jean to suspend parliament until next month, giving him time to present a budget that includes a stimulus package. /ppThe opposition liberal leader, Stephane Dion, has accused the government of having no plan to deal with recession and said that a suspension of parliament would only delay Harper's inevitable defeat. /ppCanada's political crisis stems from the government's response to the global economic crisis. Three opposition parties have united against the government's handling of the economy, accusing it of failing to come up with a suitable response to the crisis./ppCanada's beleaguered car and forestry sectors are backing the coalition, as it has promised to fast-track billions in dollars in spending as the country heads into a recession./ppCanadians are split on who to support. According to an Angus Reid poll for Canadian TV, 64% do not support Dion becoming prime minister in a coalition government, but 53% oppose the Conservatives' current economic policy./pp57% are also concerned about the separatist Bloc Quebecois's role in the coalition.

Haklab, who were one of the first sites supporting cracked apps (no working links to cracked apps there anymore) and getting the info to the world how to do so in large scale, seems have to be taken down in June and now returned as self proclaimed appstore anti-piracy website. Ok is there someone trying to safe his own ass? Anyhow, I just think thats worth some lulz and a epic split personality fail.

I am not a friend of piracy but this 360 turn is more than ridiculous and obviously funny as I remmember they were on of the first who spread details guides on how to strip apple's appstore copy protection from the binarys.

Huh the storry seems more intresting as mr. self prclaimed anti cracker now shut him self down after getting massive reactions from all over the world.

Under teh bottom line quite a funny drama, if you want to read more google for it it is worth the lulz.

With the recession and the collapse of the housing market, more and more couples who have broken up are continuing to live under the same roof, according to judges and divorce lawyers. Some are waiting for housing prices to rebound; some are trying to get back on their feet financially. nbsp; nbsp; The phenomenon is being felt around the country but most keenly in areas hit harder by foreclosure, such as the Sun Belt. nbsp; nbsp; When the real estate market was booming, couples would promptly sell their home, split the profits and go their separate ways. nbsp; nbsp; These days, Florida Judge John C. Lenderman said, about a third of his cases involve homes that are in foreclosure or that a family is struggling to sell. Lenderman said he has never seen anything like it in 40 years as a lawyer and judge.

We’ve recently done benchmarks comparing different MySQL versions in terms of their CPU efficiently in TPC-C like Workload. We did it couple of weeks ago so MySQL 5.0.67, MySQL 5.1.29 and Innodb Plugin 1.0.1 were used which are not very recent, though we do not think results will differ a lot with today versions.

Results are as follows:

The system was 2* Quad Core Xeon E5310, CentOS 5, Data stored on ramfs. We controlled number of cores used with /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online Maximum performance for each number of cores was taken though it was reached with number of sessions matching number of cores. Just 1 “Data warehourse” was used to keep data small.

As you can see there is some gain for MySQL from read-write lock split patch (found in Percona Builds) though it is not very significant for this workload. To isolate effect of this patch we only use this patch not full patch set in testing.

MySQL 5.1 is 4% slower than MySQL 5.0 with two cores and just 2% slower with 8 cores, thus showing a bit better scalability.

MySQL 5.1 plugin (compiled in) is further 3% slower compared to MySQL 5.1 with 2 cores and about 6% slower with 8 cores, meaning regression from plugin increases with number of cores.

If you would not only run MySQL plugin but also use new “Barracuda” Innodb format you see just 1% slow down with 2 cores and about half percent with 8 cores which is what you can attribute to measurement error.

This tells us there are some workloads when MySQL 5.1 is slower than 5.0, and same applies to the new Innodb code. Well newer does not mean more efficient, on the contrary newer features often come together with larger code and longer execution path.

Another thing to note - if you’re using Innodb Plugin consider using new Barracuda format, though do this only after you have done your careful testing as this format will not be recognized by older Innodb versions.

Note: These are completely CPU bound test conditions, data fits to buffer pool furthermore data and logs are on ramfs so no IO is ever needed.

Hey All! We’ve had a lot of email over the last few months asking about Trophies for Blast Factor, so I’m very pleased to announce that a new updated version of Blast Factor with that sweet Trophy goodness will be winging its way to your PS3 this Thursday! We’ve had a lot of fun putting the Trophy challenges together, and we reckon that we’ve got a good selection for Blast Factor fans of all abilities. Watch out though, there are a couple that are going to be a challenge to even the most hardcore of Blast Factor players!

We’ve added 25 Trophies in total across the original game and the 2 expansion packs, with around 15 Trophies in Blast Factor: Basic Research and its 90+ levels, and 10 Trophies split between the Multiplayer expansion and Advanced Research with its addition of 80+ levels and Hybrid mode. We’ve also added rumble support for the DualShock 3 Controller for that extra tactile goodness. All existing versions of Blast Factor will get automatically patched when you start the game, so you won’t even need to download the new version from the store.

And yes, this update is FREE! So if you own Blast Factor, and any of its expansions, all you need to do is fire it up! If you don’t have the game yet, you can get the base game for $9.99, or for $12.99 you can get a bundle including both add-ons!
We’re real pleased with this update. Hope y’all enjoy it!

I know there is the speed test thread, but i want to know what the going price for internet is.

Right now i have a 1.5 down 512 up cable line for $45 a month. I did have 3 meg for $60 but that was when 3 people were splitting the bill. Now i split the bill with myself.

I can pay $35 for 1meg, $45 for 1.5, $60 for 3, or $80 for 5. Since the local phone company owns the fiber lines in town and wont lease them i can't get fiber. A town nearby, about 6 miles down the interstate, has 15meg fiber available. It's $55 a month i believe.

Am i being over charged? I haven't dealt with cable companies for very long.
