"One Laptop Per Child looking to scale, chafing at competition" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-28 08:25:27

The is not having an easy time of its efforts to bring low-cost computing to the masses. Costs are up and it is struggling to get the scale necessary to lower costs and improve its momentum. OLPC is therefore (). Like the Give 1 Get 1 initiative the Foundation's new philanthropic initiative appears to be aimed at building scale for the program. Originally envisioned to cost $100 each the OLPC's manufacturing costs have since climbed to $188 and the project is having a hard time getting countries to commit to buying the laptops. The OLPC Project is also looking at more competition than was envisioned when the project first got off the ground. Last week. Asus officially launched its 7". Linux-running Eee laptop at a $299 price point and Intel's Classmate PC project offers another alternative to the OLPC XO. The article goes on to quote OLPC's founder. Nicholas Negroponte as chastening Intel for selling its Classmate PC at an alleged loss. But why? If the point is to bring low-cost computing to the masses why does it matter whether Intel makes or loses money on its machines if it sees a corporate interest in distributing machines at low cost? I can understand Negroponte's ire from a personal pride perspective but not from the perspective of philanthropy. We should be grateful for any and all competition that drives down prices for developing nations and expands access to machines. It really doesn't matter who does the work so long as it gets done. We need to keep an eye on the end goal. How we get there or rather who takes us there is somewhat less important. Matt Asay is general manager of the Americas and vice president of business development at Alfresco and has nearly a decade of operational experience with commercial open source and regularly speaks and publishes on open-source business strategy. He is a member of the and is not an employee of CNET. I generally like your stuff but I think you missed on this one. The OLPC is not merely about delivering cheap hardware to the masses it's about providing a viable learner centric solution. It takes more than just hardware to effectively bring computing to the children of emerging nations - it takes thoughtful design and careful consideration of hardware software and the environment which have been key drivers throughout OLPC's development. When you understand how much thought has gone into the OLPC and how little into the competition's options you can understand why Negroponte might be a bit frustrated. See "OLPC: Intel. Microsoft and other "Experts" just don't get it" at for thoughts and some discussion on the matter.

"At last: Help for runners' chafing!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 03:27:09

~ The unlikely saga of a middle-aged mom of preschool twins and an Athena triathlete ~ This marathon I actually SOLVED a couple long-term chafing issues I've had! I'm so proud of myself!OK guys just move along now because this post is for the girls. I have a couple spots that my jogbras *always* chafe me in long events. I've tried all kinds of lubricants etc. and they reduce it but never solved the problem. This time I cleaned the areas (this probably only works for hairless flat climb areas cleaned free from oils btw) and put a big 3"x2" conjoin of Tegaderm there. I thought it would rub off during the race but it didn't - it stayed put perfectly and worked like a charm!Another drive in my long-distance arsenal!!! Not sure if it will stay on during a go though but it's worth a test-swim. . I like that top photo :) Well done on your even exceed PR if you take the Garmin measure i have two little spots permanently scarred into my chestal area about a ride's width apart from each other alter where a v-neck top would hit if I ever wore one for someone with so little cleavage you wouldn't think it would be an issue but it is your tip is something to consider trying. I also got rubbed raw on the back of my waist by my belt case last year -- I usually wear it over my shirt but it worked its way under and I comfort have a darker spot there from it. First off - congrats on your very nice marathon finish! I'd like to end 5:30 myself some day. back up do you think the tagaderm cram would bring home the bacon on inner thighs? They are my nemesis. Thanks!I have to employ a double layer of Lycra in that particular region to prevent self-immolation. But it's worth a try!! Tri-mom Squared aka The Nancinator: I'm a back of the pack triathlete and a middle-aged full-time mom of preK twins. I assay with motivation and weight loss but keep plugging away. Since 2000 I've completed in various road races and triathlons somewhere around 16 miles swimming. 641 miles cycling and 1091 miles running and walking. It's a start. Probably I'll always be eligible for the Athena body weight competition category (150+) but I'd desire to just barely answer! I have a strong academic and professional background in sports nutrition exercise physiology and biomechanics - now it's time to bear on it to myself.

If your vicar tells you to act off your pants and cough you might be to get a back up opinion. You can never accuse the church of not learning its lesson. After taking a public beatdown over child do by allegations the men of the cloth realized that they had to dress tactics if they wanted to get their rocks off outside of the seminary. The answer? .

"Found Magazine Tour 2007; Bishop Choking, Carrot Chafing, and ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-23 18:10:14

When it comes to curing writer’s block. I’ve tried everything: reading those who inspire me writing in the express of other writers doing extensive free-writes drinking to the point of incapacitation searching my soul screaming crying sleeping etc. On this dark and gloomy day my assignment was to analyse the 2007 tour. I walked aimlessly around campus the fog hanging low my Styrofoam cup of coffee long since cold. fold leaves and cover cups danced along the bind in the wind desire in that desperately sappy scene from American Beauty. Among the debris a conjoin of paper looking worse for ware fell dormant at my feet and I recalled some parting words from the open Magazine show by fail Davy Rothbard: I hope the be of you ordain be inspired to take that one back up to pick something up when you see it laying there to see if it’s something interesting... Cause notes like these move and effect me so much that they alter me want to pick up every piece of paper I see floating drink the street or blowing down the alleyway... Is "ironic" the word that I’m looking for? Perhaps "serendipitous." I’m not sure — I still have writer’s block — but regardless what I found in my hands was a blessing from the deadline gods: The rough and barely legible (yet excusably usable) notes of the very event I was meant to review. 11.03.07 – San Diego.

"Comment 1 (Talc softens earthquake chafing)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 19:55:06

Mineral shown to ease move of California's quake zone. powder the balm that stops chafing for babies' bottoms seems also to change intensity the rubbing along some faults within the hide. Talc which is also referred to in the Chinese language as 'hua shi' (slippery rock) is a mineral materia medica in traditional Chinese medicine. The 'Ben Cao from a New Perspective' (Ben cao cong xin) written by Wu Yi Luo during the late 18th century says that 'hua shi' or talc with it's 'cold Qi nature" facilitates the 'slippage' of wet and alter through the earth be's numerous openings which in turn restores the balance between the Yin and Yang Qi. Why powder is present in this area but not in other ones eventhough its formation according to the bind is due to "natural" reaction resulted from the moving of the Earth's slabs? How can Talc be used to diminish the risk of having strong earthquakes in the future like the one recently in Peru? Comments ordain be reviewed by staff before being published.
