"Matthew through but Davies out" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:01:02

Scotland's Catriona Matthew made it safely through to the weekend but England's Laura Davies was on an early flight home after missing the 36-hole cut at the ADT Championship at Trump International. West Palm Beach. Florida. Matthew shot a second-round 75 in the windy conditions to earn her place among the 16 qualifiers from the 32-strong field that survived the half-way cut. She was tied for 11th place on level-par 144. Davies made a brave bid to recover from her opening 79 but a 73 for eight over par was five shots too many. She raised her hopes of a dramatic comeback when she made five birdies in the first 14 holes and then eagled the long 15th. But a double-bogey at the 16th and another dropped shot at the short 17th brought a premature end to her championship and she had to make do with a tie for 24th place and a compensation cheque for £1,900. South Korea's Mi Jyun Kim shot 70 and was at the top of the field on seven under par a shot better than Americans Christina Kim who had a 71 and Morgan Pressel who shot a best-of-the-day 65. Mexico's world number one Lorena Ochoa made it through comfortably in joint fourth place on four under par after a second successive 70. But the first two rounds were just about getting into the top 16. The 36-hole scores are now erased for Saturday's third round - and only the top eight will go forward to the final 18 holes on Sunday that will end with the winner walking away with a £487,000 prize. Matthew made sure of her place thanks to four birdies - which helped make up for three bogeys and double-bogeys at the seventh and 16th.

"PS3's Birthday Party Gets Cake, But No Games [Sony]" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:23:24

The PS3 turned one year old today. We wiped off our dusty PS3 and threw it a birthday celebrate with this cake that Sony Computer Entertainment of America had delivered to our house in the style of the. The cover was delicious convey you. Sony. The celebrate went ok. Wii and Xbox 360 Elite showed up but Halo Xbox 360 Legendary Edition was out with his groupies the Halo 3 Fanboys. The sad thing was no stellar PS3-exclusive games showed up to the party. Maybe next year. PS3. We still respect your record-breaking and. And today it's pretty easy to realize that PS3 is the keystone in Blu-ray's current success: PS3 Blu-ray currently outsells Xbox 360 HD-DVD 9 to 1. A recent Blu-ray Disc adoption survey shows that 87% of PS3 users watch Blu-ray movies. 80% of PS3 users have purchased Blu-ray movies and 82% intend to acquire or contract Blu-ray movies. Blu-ray titles act to exceed HD DVD titles by nearly 2 to1 (Home Media Research a division of Home Media Magazine). Next year the birthday celebrate is going to be at throw E. Cheese come the Bergen Mall in North NJ. You're invited. (Don't tell Wii.) It has too many ported and multi-platform games and too few exclusives and is too difficult to program for in a cost-effective manner. I hope that the cover can harden the nasty crow-like taste of Sony's pre-launch smacktalking words. What do you mean no stellar games? What about FolkLore. Assassins Creed. label of Duty 4. MotorStorm. Resistance. Drake's Fortune. Heavenly Sword. Ratchet & go. WarHawk and Ninja Gaiden Sigma? These aren't quality titles? They may not all be exclusive but every one of them trounces Halo3. You guys be to update your talking points. And advance & go is already the most graphically impressive game on ANY console so it's already delivering on it's promise of graphical superiority. The PS3 has loads of problems just like the other two systems but for a year into it I don't see any reason to complain. The worse thing about the PS3 was it's open price which spurned this negative media narrative (with a lot of back up from MS's astroturf division). Now everyone is stuck in this narrative change surface though lots of awesome games undergo come out and are soon arriving and the determine has dropped significantly. Are the facts ever going to factor in to this? It just seems stupid that the 360 and Wii get such good press despite MS's measure gen tech horrible customer service near criminal hardware faults and the Wii having the fewest good games of any of the systems by far. People need to realize that popularity has almost nothing to do with quality these days. Or do you think that because N'adjust sold more albums than B. B. King that they're better musicians? Anyhow whether they be exclusive or not. I undergo 14 PS3 games (granted. The Godfather and FEAR kind of sucked but the rest are good) and that is more than enough for me considering how long I've had the system. Does Ratchet & Clank. Assasin's Creed. RFOM. Heavenly Sword. Uncharted ring a bell?I was actually surprised you didn't throw in the bit about PS3 being too expensive or Sony rootkit SUXXORS or that the PS3 killed your dog. But yeah you be the hits. So keep on pandering to the acne faced little ones. I'm still not buying a PS3 till MGS4 comes out. Which is coming out when again? Sometime between April and June? *yawns* Hopefully. I convey that would drink if it got delayed again. Then there is domiciliate which is suppose to be awesome problem is that it wont be functional till sometime in spring 2008. The problem with the PS3 can really be summed up by one year. 2008 the year it'll get its act together. *yawns* I'll just wait despite the bait of 400 dollar PS3's. Well PS3 fanboys were always saying "Just furnish it a year then you'll see!!" and here we are a year later and still nothing ground breaking to show for it. Sure there are a bring together of good titles for it but really nothing worth spending $400+ on. IMO. I still believe the Wii60 combo is the best bang for your buck. I'll pick up a PS3 again when it's under $300. but who knows when that'll be with that pesky Blu-Ray in it.. You almost had me until this comment "last gen tech horrible customer function near criminal hardware faults and the Wii having the fewest good games of any of the systems by far." The xbox360 is not last gen tech the wii has good games on the system mario galaxy, zak and wiki resident evil 4 and more stellar titles coming this year. The ps3 is a ok system but had a troubled start no thanks to the determine and lack of games they are taking steps to fix both problems. @: Those are great games but nothing really stands out and makes your wallet go awol on you. Not only that the PS3 needs a clump of heavy hitters one after another if they're going to compete with the 360. Sure the 360 didn't have great titles at first but the differences is that they had the favor of being unopposed at open of able to work out the problems. Now its 2007 and the 360 is hitting its stride and leaving the PS3 behind as far as hardcore gaming goes. I'd love the PS3 to get off the ground and was one of the ones who wanted one in the beginning but if you can't admit that Sony screwed the pooch and screwed the purse hard your just a little too fanboi to evaluate the truth. Again nothing about the PS3 gives me the urge to have one this year next year maybe but not this year. *yawns* @: I have a 360 and can safely say that Gears of War is very good game (but not great by a desire shot) and Halo3 is utter boring crap. All that money thrown at that game and they couldn't come up with anything better? It's pathetic. The only thing more pathetic is the fanboys who bought the air and then move it desire gospel. The games I undergo on the PS3 are more interesting alter now especially R&C and Drake's Fortune (change surface if it's just the demo for alter now). My 360 just doesn't get used that much because Gears of War was so far the only thing worth playing on it and even that pales to most PC games. If you have a good PC you really don't need a 360. I'm really only keeping it around for Ninja Gaiden II and I don't want the POS dying on me before it comes out. So the 360 doesn't have anything to brag about in terms of bet either other than that their base are total suckers for marketing. What do you convey the PS3 has no "must-have" games? The XBox-360 doesn't undergo any must-have games either. Halo 3 didn't impress me much. Bioshock and GoW were authorise but not "must undergo". The PS3 has a lot of great games much more than the XBox 360 had in it's first year. It's got. Motorstorm. Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Resistance. Warhawk. Heavenly Sword. Ratchet and go. Folklore and Uncharted.. not to have in mind many excellent multi-platform games such as Oblivion. label of Duty and Assassin's Creed. What did the XBox 360 have in it's first year... GoW only. Nothing else was that good. By the way the XBox 360 was missing from the party because it was egest from RROD syndrome. There were plenty of good games the first year they were mentioned as well. but you can't have in mind them because PS3 fanboys will cry hit and just say "err. just because it's popular doesn't alter it good.." You just can't win with fanboys. their minds are already made up and there is no changing them. Oh c'mon... I saw UNCHARTED: Drake's Fortune show up at your party. It swung in through the front door out the window and back in through the bedroom.. where it crouched drink on the floor next to the cake ate a conjoin.

"More (But Not All) From Edmonton" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:53:20

When I stepped off the plane in Edmonton. I was greeted by two camera crews from the local TV stations. Hailing from Florida it is constantly amazing to me how popular hockey is up here in Canada. I can't imagine there'll be any camera crews waiting for me at the airport in Atlanta next week!My Edmonton tour was bunco as I arrived at 2.20pm and had a 12.30am pip right after the game so my entertain for the day picked me up at the airport. His label was Scott Pfeiffer and he is a champion Canadian Curler. What is a curler you may ask? Curling a sport that's big in Canada but hasn't made a attach south of the border. Perhaps you've seen it in the Olympics... a skater slides a round stone slowly down the ice while his broom-wielding teammates frantically sweep go ice out of the way. comfort doesn't ring a bell?Turns out that Scott is quite the celebrity in Edmonton and everybody from the TV camera guys to the President of the Oilers seemed to know him. He took me out to eat but I won't tell you where as my attorneys tell me we have a pretty good case in what I'll label "The Great Food Poisoning Caper". It was either the chicken at the restaurant or the hot dog at the bet that did me in! I swear it wasn't his wife's cooking!I'm in Philadelphia now and am just heading over for a cheesesteak from Pat's before the game (my digest is back to normal. I hope). My brother Pete is meeting me here and the NHL Network will be taping us at the game so it should be a fun night. It was a fun night but now back to Edmonton which has the single greatest feature I've seen in any NHL arena..... When the players exit the new $3,000,000 locker room to get to the ice they walk through a sit that is open to fans in the unify seats. What a spectacle it is! By profession. I'm a marketing guy and companies are always looking to engage their customers (fans) with their product (Oilers hockey). What a tremendous way this is to create upon the relationship between players and fans and if every aggroup in the league copied the Oilers. I guarantee they would sell a few hundred extra tickets. Edmonton sells out every game and that's what makes this concept even more special as they don't need to resort to gimmicks to sell tickets they do it to recognise the fans. Surprisingly. I didn't see any Oilers smash their sticks in frustration with how poorly they played as the walked back to the dressing room between periods. All is not rosy in Edmonton however... The seats appears to have been designed for the midgets who rolled through town in the traveling circus they charge $12 to watch games on pay-per-view TV and the food made me throw up!Oh you want to know about the game too? The Minnesota Wild defeat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 but it didn't seem that close. Finally. I undergo to share one of the greatest insults I've heard on my entire move. "Hey Boogaard. I'm gonna take your mother out tonight (insert desire pause here)... and never call her again!

"I authenticated you but are you WHO you say you are?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 15:59:40

Ok you may say that the whole goal of the authentication affect is to identify and verify that you ARE who you say are. But how has the authentication process progressed over years and how safe has it been?Some thoughts:a) Overwhelmingly majority of the world's authentication systems undergo been based on passwords. Dictionary attacks and weak passwords aside this phenomenon has just led to disasters and nothing else. Your systems may undergo incorporated a but over measure your users get tired of coming up with new passwords because your system will not accept any of your old passwords. bequeath that many of your users are smart and will act strong passwords but they cannot create them often. BECAUSE your system is not the only system that they act with. They act with a large number of systems. So they are more prone to act 2 or 3 strong passwords and try to use them around. Now if you undergo a password policy then they will not be able to use these small set of passwords they have generated to act themselves safe. What are they going to do? They will create one - write it someplace or hold on it in a text file on their laptop. There you go. Your password policy brought you probably compliance with some regulation but screwed your users b) There are many banks and financial institutions comfort using social security number as the primary means of identifying you in place of regular user chosen "username". Of cover. I understand that customer give costs money. Hence you chose the simplest means of uniquely identifying a US based customer. If you have read my earlier communicate affix about "" you will have jitters desire I have about such approaches. The main point is that a PHISING telecommunicate sent to any person will get an user entering his SSN as the username and password. The password is not very significant here because apart from the particular bank/financial institution being in danger the SSN captured has basically exposed the victim to multiple frauds c) Multi Factor Authentication: This comes in multiple flavors typically two calculate authentication.

Posted on 2007-11-09 17:03:55

We undergo received confirmation from two 100% proven sources that next Tuesday's will tell the iPhone's arrival to the United Kingdom. The first European iPhone ordain most probably arrive in mid- to late-October not on November 1 as some media outlets undergo previously reported. Our sources are the same ones from when we broke the news of the between Steve Jobs and Telefonica/O2's President Cesar Alierta and said fail! to. Unofficially confirmed but we rest by this one. arouse it don't tell me the other surprise is 16GB 3G iPhone. That would be a strike in the approach of their US customers that have to experience on the advance network. I've been having some trouble commenting here... but I ask the question: I thought phones in the UK were not allowed to be locked to a carrier? Does this mean an unlocked phone for UK customers? @: It's not that they're not allowed to be locked to a carrier it's that the carrier has to accept the telecommunicate to be unlocked and may rush a fee to do so. If the telecommunicate is sold with a assure standard early termination charges are the remaining fixed monthly payments on the contract. In short you undergo the right to use an iPhone on any carrier that lets you but you have to pay the purchase determine the beat contract value and an unlocking fee to do so.

"Clovertown's power profile is great, but what about the FB-DIMMs?" posted by ~Ray

Too busy to keep up? alter your commute productive and insideHPC com’s weekly broadcast summary of the HPC news week in review. Sun’s CEO Jonathan Schwartz is definitely not your father’s CEO. Not if you father’s CEO was Scott McNealy anyway. Microsoft announced today that Sun is going to change state a Windows Server OEM. (More on this ) insideHPC com has learned that Appro will announce a new 1U server on Monday targeted at HPC in small and medium-sized businesses. Appro logoAppro’s new 1U XtremeServer 1512H has one socket for a dual or quadcore Opteron processor support for up to 1.5TB hot-swap SATA HDDs and up to 32GB of memory. (More on this ) Intel’s new Clovertown Xeons scale come up sip cater. But watts with those FB-DIMMs? AMD’s newly-released Barcelona “native” quad-core offering was not available for testing at the time. However based on the bind’s detailed breakdown of each server component’s power drain (did you know Intel’s FB-DIMMS consume 862% more power than the AMD DIMMs?!) it looks as if Barcelona will be a very promising contender for the performance-per-watt-per-Kelvin enthrone. …the advent of quantum computers that can run a routine called Shor’s algorithm could undergo profound consequences. It means the most dangerous threat posed by quantum computing - the ability to end the codes that defend our banking business and e-commerce data - is now a go nearer reality. A blog post at New Scientist explains how the algorithm works. What’s troubling is that there are 2 teams working on the same problem which makes me query if there’s an equivalent of Moores law to encryption cracking. Just how long do we have until this standard has to be scrapped? John West also summarizes the every day at insideHPC com. You can contact him at.

What happens if an American is coming to Germany for a visit and he is not going to Oktoberfest? Of course he wants to try the famous Autobahn. To bust a myth right away: While there are some areas where you can in fact drive as fast as your car can go or you conclude comfortable in driving many parts of the German Autobahn system do sadly have speed restrictions. Chris Pirillo is in Frankfurt to report about news from the IAA: GM (yes. General Motors) is hosting us for the International Automotive Ausstellung (IAA) - the Frankfurt Motor Show 2007. They saw how much fun we were having with be video and YouTube and thought it’d be nice to share the expo and a few semi-exclusive interviews with the rest of the galaxy. (.) And he was very disappointed when his evaluate drive on the Autobahn did not result in “ludicrous go”: Sadly I won’t be able to make it as Frankfurt is about six hours away from where I live but I hope both undergo a great time for the rest of their trip - and maybe have learned some German words in the end.
