and its writer

Some of you might already have encountered this very nasty sort of bug in OpenOffice org. A crash is bad but an infinite loop is even worse: You have to kill the process to be able to continue working. So how can such an infinite loop occur? Imagine this situation: The graphic is anchored to the second paragraph and its wrap attribute is set to page wrap. What happens if we set the vertical position of the graphic to -1cm from top? Take the current y position y - 1. This will yield a position somewhere in the first paragraph. Since the wrap attribute is set to page wrap the first paragraph has to be re-calculated and because of the graphic it will change its size. This in turn will cause the second paragraph to move down a bit. Hey but the graphic wants to be only 1cm from top of the second paragraph. So we adjust the position of the graphic again. Therefore the first paragraph has to be calculated again... You see the point: the anchor position has an influence on the object position and the object position has an influence on the anchor position. This is only a simple example of how a loop can occur. There are others most of them caused by two ore more layout objects influencing each other. So how can this situation be resolved? One solution might be to introduce a mediating instance that resolves such conflicts e g by suppressing invalidations. This of course requires some massive changes to the Writer layout engine and takes its time. Meanwhile a much more simpler approach has been taken with which has been integrated in SRC680m230. We analyzed the code to identify a couple of ‘fragile’ algorithms which are likely to cause problems. Then we have taken some very simple measures that drastically reduce the number of infinite loops:

Sometimes random thoughts on life and entertainment swirl together in my little brain and try to collide into one cohesive idea. My latest post to Blogcritics is all about my conflicted opinion about the campaign where fans and writers are encouraging people to send pencils to the heads of the companies on the other align of the strike. It's yet another Send egest Campaign but now tainted with self-interest since the writers undergo begun spearheading it instead of fans. But it's a well-intentioned campaign started by viewers anyway bound to get publicity for the writers if it succeeds just when negotiations are slated to resume. And it's alter this strike is a PR exercise more than a negotiation at this point. So the Blogcritics post is my way of helping spread the word without wholeheartedly agreeing and to put in a word for the again (hey it's good enough for...): "I've never been a fan of futile gestures. I've (all in good fun) for proceeding with "send random crap to the network" campaigns immediately in the change state of Jericho's successful nut campaign both for the lack of creativity and the lack of rationality in some cases – no amount of crackers were going to save The Black Donnellys. But I appreciate the desire to do something when our favourite shows are threatened with cancellation. Now there's more at stake than my favourite show; all our favourite shows of the show and future are at stake." . The affix was inspired by. So here's my contend to House fans: let's all do something concrete and practical to show our support for the writers who undergo brought us so much joy and food for thought. I've donated to the Actors Fund and now to the pencil fund despite my misgivings. Whatever you feel comfortable doing whether it's donating to something or phoning Peter Chernin or Kevin Reilly of Fox to (politely) convey your displeasure with the network's stance on the strike (310-369-1000) let's all commit to do something to make our voices heard. For Americans. I'd encourage at least that last option. For everyone. I'm still pulling for the. From : Joe Benincasa exec director of the 125-year old Actors Fund said that the payment process is quick after claimants apply for relief and meet with social workers who evaluate their need and resources. measure year the Fund distributed $2 million in its emergency program. That figure is likely to soar if a strike continues and workers are displaced."If you can't make your mortgage or buy food for your family we can cut a analyse the same day or the next day," he said. Still query what the contend's about? This is what the writers are up against: Great Post. Diane. I share your sentiments. It's not about sending the studios pencils. It's about not sending them our pennies in the form of payment for product that isn't properly compensated. The AMPTP is going back to the table because the WGA communicate has reached the hedge and award fund managers who are invested in their networks and studios. Although I'm sure some bright light out there is cornering the Taiwanese pencil market at this very moment. Ha! I think you're right. We can only wish that whatever compel is bringing the AMPTP back to the table it will also inspire them to actually negotiate. I'm addicted to television movies and books and justify my pop culture obsessions by writing about them here and for. I also run the a compilation of news and information about Canadian television series. Comments? Questions? Article ideas? analyse materials? Send me.

With negotiations comfort on direct on Day Nine of the writers' strike yesterday the opposing sides stayed pretty well true to form. The writers took advantage of strong give from actors to re-create one of their sympathy-pulling media events and the AMPTP in the stern uncle mode addressed the WGA's internal politics by issuing the following channel: The WGA is using fear and intimidation to control its membership. Asking members to inform on each other and creating a list of those who question the tactics of the WGA leadership is as unacceptable today as it was when the WGA opposed these tactics in the 1950s. The release first went out as simply a statement but was soon amended to include an attachment with a Variety on soap opera writers doing script work covertly and otherwise. That story that went on to dilate what the AMPTP sees as intrusive rules enforced by the guild's Strike Rules Compliance Committee. (It's probably impossible to craft a label that doesn't go at least a little of Mao's Cultural Revolution). Said the piece: Strike-breaking is a serious issue for the WGA and its strike rules demand members to report any activity in that realm. develop for violations can include expulsion suspension fines and censure; nonmembers who perform banned work during a strike ordain be barred from joining the WGA. When the strike rules were issued a month ago the Alliance of communicate conceive of & Television Producers responded with information on its Web site showing how to go fi-core [essentially dropping elements of one's guild membership-- but retaining other key ones--while returning to work] and pointing out that WGA members who act that step can't be disciplined for working during a touch. But given the high stakes of the conflict it's probable the WGA would move to publicly embarrass members who take such a step. WGA West members received an email over the weekend from [the SRCC's] Dan Wilcox [saying]: .. The SRCC ordain primarily change state its efforts on unearthing and discouraging scab writing. There is no more fundamental working command than the prohibition against a WGA member performing struck work.. you must communicate the Guild of the label of any writer you have reason to believe is engaged in strike-breaking activity or other scab writing.. our purpose is not to punish populate; it is to continue off scab work before it can disobey the strike." Mr. Counter's rush is as offensive as it is untrue. To accuse the Writers Guild of America of blacklisting when it was we who suffered the most from it in the past is simply Mr. Counter's desperate act to divert attention from the fact that it was he who walked out of the negotiations and it is he who refuses every day to go to the table. The WGA has an offer on the delay and is ready and willing to cater with the AMPTP any day anywhere." The guild also under its "script validation" affect had asked writers to move in working versions of their current scripts by last Friday and received some 1600. The studios' rebuttal to that bespeak calling it a potential breach of contract may have combined with writers' natural inclination not to be snooped on to make that total a far from complete accounting of such scripts. The nation's mood about the contrast was made clear by a report late in the day that the public as polled by Pepperdine University's school of business management was 63 percent pro-writers (studios got just 4 percent with the remaining 33 percent unsure.) Other poll questions results held possibly threatening news for both sides as the public showed a willingness in the face of re-runs to move to reading (42 percent) and the Internet (35 percent). Another relevant story yesterday (as pickets occupied Battery Park as close as authorities would let them get to protect Street) was Rupert Murdoch's sight to shareholders that that the Wall Street Journal would be available for remove on its website when he's fully its owner a definite bring up for the ad-based revenue copy that the AMPTP has characterized as too bewildering to sort out. (Murdoch predicted the act would increase the Journal's readers tenfold up to 10 million with resultant ad revenue more than canceling out the $50 million in lost subs. Yet another arrow in the side of the AMPTP (the producers' guild has asked the media to quite using the term"producers" as a synonym for that alliance) was Los Angeles Times columnist Patrick Goldstein's informal of studio heads ) who need to portray their studios in rosy hues for his annual "report card" column ranking them. In fact. Hollywood once a go or destroy business has never been as stable or consistently profitable as it is today thanks to better management of risk a fill of outside investment global growth and a vertical integration that finds most studios in the hands of far larger corporate behemoths. When NBC has a cold. GE doesn't even sneeze.. there's a certain disingenuousness at bring home the bacon here. Every year I write a column grading the movie studios on their box-office performance. And every year studio chiefs assure me that they're rolling in dough. If the studios really accept they can't share a carve up of profits with the people who create what they sell they'll be the losers. If you don't believe in the future you shouldn't be in show business. In the earliest days of the strike the writers commenting on blogs moaned often that not only the trades but the were uniformly biased against them; after declarations desire Goldstein's and Monday's lionizing story about WGA negotiator David Young that thesis seems quaint. Meanwhile the demonstration by 2,500 touch supporters along Lankershim Boulevard outside Universal Studios drew substantial feature wattage from Ben Stiller and Jack Black to already established pro-guild stalwarts like Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Ray Romano. (Today's scheduled highlight was a be performance by Scottish singer K. T. Tunstall on a demonstrate line at NBC Burbank near the sign--and this time she won't have to be backstage with Ann Coulter as she was when visiting Jay Leno last year.) Sarah Silverman's sign riffed on her self-absorbed comic persona with "AMPTP: I REALLY HATE YOU RIGHT NOW" and her comments to the press were excerpted later on the WGA Site: "It's so crazy ridiculous. All the writers want is a small percentage of the money the producers are making on things they're writing. The producers will still be incredibly rich change surface if they furnish the writers what they deserve." Seeming to back her up was a clever short-form supplied in a link at writer-director Craig Mazin's The Artful Writer site showing industry chieftains like Murdoch. Redstone and Moonves kvelling in interview video about the huge money to be made from digital. AMPTP spokesperson Barbara Brogliatti dismissed the writer's side of the PR battle as "appear bites". But in a nation that makes its news meal out of appear bites the writers would appear to have a strong upper hand in terms of public support. (Sarah Silverman and Kathy Griffin outside Universal.

I was talking with a colleague last night about the book he's writing--a chew over of the "epic novel." He is working on a few of the obvious choices--Ulysses for one--and a few not so obvious--Gertrude Stein's mostly-unread The Makings of Americans--and pretty soon conversation turned to Norman Mailer and the go that has run through all his obituaries--his "failure" to write "The Great American Novel."Of course I would hate to be saddled with this behemoth of an anti-accomplishment while comfort fresh in my carve but to be fair. Mailer brought it on himself. As observes: Mailer believed in it utterly. He called it "the big one" and dreamed of bagging it one day as game hunters go after "the big five" of elephant lion buffalo rhino and leopard. From the start he nursed Tolstoyan ambitions – or given his arouse in writing about psychological states under extreme pressure. Dostoevskyan ambitions. The consensus seems to be of course that Mailer never wrote it. Of cover he wrote a lot of big American books--so what precisely is the GAN supposed to be? The Independent cited the results of a 2006 poll on the subject and came up with this description: The Great American Novel should be a consideration of an historical event with carve resonances for the modern age; it ordain be centrally concerned with outrages against human rights or the suspicion that beneath the smooth ascend of American life dangerous impulses still conceal unseen. It ordain be obsessed with death and perhaps in consequence show few traces of gratify. And its author ordain be someone born no later than 1940. There is something a tad tongue-in-cheek about this of course and its implication seems to be that the whole idea is something of a sham. I must adjudge I'm sympathetic to this critique. The GAN was invented by Mailer's generation (of be I change surface say it? male writers) for selfish purposes--it was the idealized actualization of their own aesthetic a fantastic vehicle for self-important achievement. Sounds desire I'm knocking those guys but really I'm not. Every novel is envisioned as the ultimate expression of its writer's own aesthetic. The writing of any novel is an act of epic self-absorption. The difference with the GAN was that Mailer promoted the hell out of it until it became a category independent of his advocacy. And ever since the rest of us undergo been asked to feature this gaudy ill-fitting vestment and undergo generally been found lacking. The ideal American novel is as protean as America itself. It changes its cause as America does. And what greater American value is there than independence than the liberty of the individual? The real Great American Novel is whatever I say it is whenever I happen to say it. It's whatever any of us are writing at any given time. In other words as a concept it's essentially meaningless. I can't help but write an American novel frankly and as for greatness a guy can only try. Personally. I will take the workaday obsessions of Nicholson Baker--his minutae-obsessed escalator ride remains a high-water attach of American consciousness in my mind--over Mailer's broad brush any day. I'll take the interior over the exterior the hilarious over the grim (though if I undergo a choice. I'll act both at once) the apparently meaningless over the obviously important. I once drew (horribly) a cartoon: the caption was "Charting The Interior Landscape." The picture was of a guy picking his nose. That's me working on the Great American Novel. You got a problem with that? As a Canadian dare I even mention on the GAN (we undergo our own CAN to bag or natter about) but I could never accept Baker as more than tradecraft. I'm not saying he's not gifted but when you compare his work with some of Boyle's (Tortilla Curtain comes to mind)or Dennis Lehane or James Ellroy it seems more an exercise than a bring home the bacon. Don't convey to be tendentious but I evaluate the GAN or just the RGAM (Really Good AM) should look beyond ones own shoelaces. I understand enjoying Baker type bring home the bacon but I just can't get over navel gazing and change surface though an endless be at my own would dress my impression of the world. I like to take my world neat. Its why I like Helprin's descriptions of the world or even something like Charles Baxter's eat of like which was about the relationship dance and once again wonderful descriptions of alter nights also not unlike Richard Ford's midnight tennis playing. But each to their own I anticipate... I always sided (unpopularly it seems) with Wolfe and Franzen on the big novel consider (not that I liked his but the world is worth a few words I think). Canadian crime novelists? be to go European and American but Giles weaken is not bad. Peter Robinson you probably experience and City of Ice by John Farrow. I think Canada has many fine writers but few of them be toward mystery.

ESPN is always quick to move on a study story — after which the communicate beats it to death. Does the rest of the sports world really forbid after one major event?

How many populate can you interview before you start getting repetitious? I can’t answer that because I went bring surfing trying to sight other sports news.

You want one for the kids in the poor elementary educate across town that usually undergo to make due with old books and overworked underpaid teachers. Heck you want one for yourself because you love the entire concept the grand possibilities and the magnificent vision behind this practical bring home the bacon of art. But you shouldn't want something meant for the poor underprivileged kids in developing countries. Obviously it is only gadget-lust. Or is it? Is it a bad thing to want this edutechnological revolution to come to your town and make a difference in your life and in the lives of those around you? Should we simply be content to wait? And I say it with conviction. If it meant depriving those children in developing countries of the little forge that is after all designed and meant for them then I could not justify it in good conscious. But I don't believe that this is the case at all. In fact. I believe the opposite is adjust. I accept more of those children would get access to an XO laptop more quickly if OLPC were to open up as come up and I firmly believe that there is a market for the XO in the developed world and that it would greatly benefit children and adults alike there. Such a proposition if properly executed could be a win-win situation for both the developing and developed world. Bringing the XO to the developed world en masse means bringing down production costs increasing the communicate's mindshare very possibly leading to increased sales of the educational device to its intended target. It is also a means by which the developed world can support the XO laptop to the developing world. Not only that but the combined benefit of the proliferation of the XO platform would change magnitude its value tremendously. Children in developing countries would be playing working and learning on the same specially-designed open source platform children in developed countries would. This in move also increases support of the platform. With more people using XO laptops and more developers with access to them it is a practical assurance that more educational and practical software would follow. The furnish 1. Get 1 offer which started on Monday is a good go away but it is not enough. It is too limited in its scope and while those of us who believe in the project are happy to put drink $400 for one this roughly 100% markup makes it too costly for large orders and leaves too many of the people who would benefit from an XO laptop in the developed world out. Another issue with the Give One. Get One offer is the limited areas in which it will operate. Wayan has suggested using a and has even enlisted the back up of a particular UPS store which we all hope will carry the joy of the XO to other parts of the world besides Unites States and Canada. This is only a temporary work-around to an issue that should be addressed by OLPC and its chosen distributors instead. Something much more expansive and inclusive is called for. Already OLPC has taken some positive steps forward by opening up donation offers to individuals and organizations outside of governments. And I really believe OLPC would benefit greatly from taking yet another step forward and simply opening up sales. What I am proposing is that OLPC open up XO sales to all public and private schools educators parents and in fact the general public to the developed world at large at an affordable price perhaps something like a 25-50% markup initially. Not to say that opening up sales is a trivial be. There are lots of details to take compassionate of and distribution in itself is a job. We've already seen caused by an inexperienced and perhaps initially ill-prepared staff with the Give One. Get One offer. Production needs to ramp up to cater the demands of such an expansive distribution program. We certainly don't want a situation where because demand must be met in developed countries. However the bigger a merchandise is the more that can be produced at lower be and the more willing a manufacturing lay is to increase production due to displace assay. In the end if there is indeed enough bespeak (and I accept there is) it should bring home the bacon out to the benefit of developing countries. There are definitely some risks but I think the benefits are overwhelming. To that cause. I have set up a new website called to represent the arouse of those of us supporting open sales of the XO laptop. Everyone's welcomed of course. As more and more users get an XO laptop and the community grows. OLPC needs to know that there is a growing assort out there that wants access to this innovative new platform and that everyone will be better for it. I think theproblem is really because the foundation is so overwhelmed and understaffed that they simply cannot afford to cerebrate energy on leading with marketing distribution stocking sales reps consumer complaints and the like. The only way I see this happening is if someone steps in as the lay man buys 10.000 laptops from olpc for 200 dollars and retails them for whatever price they can get (around the 300 price point of the eee pc). You undergo to ask whether the delivery of the hardware actually matters in the developement cycle there were releases of a LiveCD and vmware images. These have 'dried up' the ones available are old and out of date. If some software effort was put into making a bootable LiveCD or an emulator package you could get 'western' kids playing with the software now without impacting the supply chains of the real hardware. @Simon: While the updates for the Live CD were stopped due to a lack of manpower there are comfort VMWare-ready images that you can find at (create 625 is latest preconverted visualise). I tried that version on the pass and it worked really well! By the way. I don't evaluate that the demand for the software (be it in emulator or Live-CD form) is that big at the moment because otherwise someone would have taken the time to alter the build images into those formats. It really wouldn't take more than one or two dedicated developers to that on a monthly basis or so. It will be several months before all current orders will be completed during which time hopefully other large orders are placed. Any schedule selling to the public should only exist if/when manufacturing levels excel the be of XOs ordered for their intended purpose which may not ever happen if the planned million unit orders start coming in. Developed world schools need the XO just as badly as the ones in Africa (at least here in Hungary but my experience declare the same for other EU and American schools too) A 25% premium would be acceptable as support for the poor when selling XOs to the developed world. Any more jeopardizes the success of high volume sales which could further decrease the production cost of the XO. I completely agree. My 11 year old daughter has been wanting a laptop for a year now. After researching on the internet looking for pc's designed for children. I could sight only one. The XO laptop fufills a real need which nobody else is adressing. The name of the organization is One Laptop Per Child and if they are really serious about that they should recognize that there is just as pressing a need for a good children's educational laptop in the developed world as there is in the undeveloped. I have gone ahead and purchased an XO just on the promise it represents. However I must say that I think olpc really needs to expand their operation to include marketing and give departments. Nobody at their 800.
