Survior's winner is REALLY WOW DID NOT EXPECT :)

Wow was the out of left field Michelle winning wow wow is at the moment is all I have to say!! I am sorry she did not play a " good game" yes she stayed lowed under the radar for the most part I give her that and I give her the fact she didn't really cause any waves only with Neil from what we seen when she voted him out of jury. I was really hoping for Scot to go Jason not as much he seemed to have mellowed some for the jury tribal council but Scot acted  like a idiot JMO LOL!!

Sure she really rode everyones coat tails most part of the game I didn't see Michelle doing a whole lot maybe I missed something if so let me know :) but for the most part I really didn't see her do much at all in the game. She didn't start to really talk strategy to much till Scot got voted out and even then. Aubry played the game so did Tai he played a very well game again IMO and Scot saying some of the comments about Tai was a bit childish he was sore because he was not in Tai's place with him in the finale three wha wha give me a break. Like I told my husband most of them get a bit bitter because they are not in the seat of one of the finale three so they get a bit bitter and big cry babies I feel . 

This was one good season I will say that allot of medical evacuations as well most ever in the history of Survivor and loved when they talked to Dr. Joe who was in the audience and how game play went right out of his head and he went into doctor mode when Caleb went down that day. I have never seen medical like that in the history of this game at all. It's nice to know they are right there if there is trouble when they are in the water I sorta knew that but didn't know for sure if they were right there in the water in suits and all or if they were standing off on the side somewhere. But makes sense they would be in the water right there so that is nice to know. I know camera guy's are for the most part.

Michelle did not deserve to win I didn't like some of her speeches she gave at tribal and she talked IMO in monotone if that makes sense like a robot or someone scripted her didn't like it again JMO on that. I truly believe Tai or Aubry should of won last night Tai not a vote not a single vote which was sad though I loved how that gal came up to the stage with Jeff and gave him money for any animal charity in the world that was awesome but her outfit lol covering her face now that was interesting to say least and I think they wanted there identity hid but I think it may of been someone we know not sure just saying .    


Though I did sit through the whole 3 long hours of the show which I normally don't do I watch up to who I see win and then bed lol! I will say on the fence about the new season looks like a good one

Millennials

vs Generation x which is my generation thank you and making a point they seem to mix up Generation Y which was from the baby boom anyone born in the 80s and up which was a great generation loved it music,styles of hair,clothes and personalities were fun for most part to and all the events that happen to Berlin Wall coming down so much more then. Though I agreed with most of what both groups said one does take advantage of things we got them and others work hard for it not all

Millennials

are like that some are very hard working kids some not so much again JMO .

So on that note may your day or evening where ever in the world you may live be a wonderful experience and be kind to one another smile at those who may not expect it . So expect the unexpected as Julie Chan says and next will be Big Brother starting up on June 22,2016 Wed can't wait!!

Till next time

'Survivor: Kaoh Rong' Finale Recap: And the Winner is...
'Survivor: Kaoh Rong' Finale Recap: And the Winner is...
Gina Pusateri

Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
The road to the Survivor: Kaoh Rong finale has been a bumpy one. A high of three people were medically evacuated this season. Fifteen more had their torches snuffed. Only Aubry, Cydney, Michele and Tai (don't forget Mark the Chicken!) remain and their about to duke it out for the title of sole Survivor for Season 32. Let's find out who the last man/woman (or chicken) standing will be.

The Final Four

Mark (the chicken) is in his hammock and crowing while everyone's trying to sleep. His act is getting a little old. Tai realizes this and takes responsibility for him and takes him away for the beach. He talks about how he's nervous now that he doesn't have his idol, but he knows he can count on Aubry.

Aubry is still feeling bummed about Joe going home. She previously thought she needed to get rid of Cydney, but now she thinks that it's her best shot to make sure she has Cydney's trust so she and Tai can vote out Michele. At this point, she thinks Michele is the biggest threat in the game because of her close personal relationships with the people on the jury.

Michele knows she's in a tight spot. She says she has to win immunity in order to go on in this game. Cydney says she still has her back though and wants it to be the three girls in the finals.

Survivor: Kaoh Rong Predictions: Who Will Win Season 32? >>>

A Refueling Reward

The first challenge of the evening is a complicated one. They have to race under a net and slide tiles on a target. Then, they have to balance the tiles on a machete across balance beam to solve a puzzle to get a number combination. First to finish wins a meal meant to refuel their bodies and spirits and get them ready for the next immunity challenge.

It's Aubry's challenge from pretty much the beginning. No one but Aubry masters the balance beam, especially poor Cydney who keeps wiping out. But when it comes to her puzzle number combination, Aubry just can't get it right. Tai and Cydney catch up, but Aubry has enough of a lead to finally realize her mistake and set it right. Aubry wins her first individual challenge.

Of course, Jeff offers Aubry her a chance to choose someone else to come join her. She chooses Cydney so she can get a good meal to help them both beat Michele in the next challenge.

Cydney is obviously thrilled to be chosen. She and Aubry have been close from the start and she thinks this solidifies their relationship.

But this leaves Tai and Michele back at camp once again. And now, they've already laid the groundwork for a working relationship. Michele says it shouldn't have to be one of them that goes home next and if one of them wins, they should target Aubry. Tai agrees to it right away; he even shakes on it. He says in confessional that he wants to win and he's not afraid to cut his closest ally to do that.

Climbing the Stairs to Immunity

It's another complicated challenge for the final four. The Survivors have to race out of the ocean and up the stairs in a series of obstacles. Once they've climbed their third set of stairs, they have to solve a three-level puzzle to win a spot in the final three.

Once again, Aubry is off to a quick start. But by the time the puzzle part comes along, everyone is even and she gets completely stumped. Michele and Tai (the two Beauties) are the ones with the brains to figure out the puzzle. It's between them in a race to the finish and Michele pulls it out for the win.

No More Alliances

Cydney says Michele would have been the easy vote if she hadn't won that challenge. But she did and now she has to cozy up to Michele to make sure it's someone else going home instead of her. They'd like to keep Aubry around, but they think she's a bigger threat than Tai to take to the end, so they want to convince him to vote with them. Cydney wonders if she should practice making a fire in case of a tie, but Michele assures her that there's no need for that.

Aubry and Tai are still tight, but Tai isn't as sneaky as he'd like to think. He basically warns Aubry that she should be practicing her fire making skills, even though she didn't think she was in danger of going home. Aubry says the two of them have been like a zipper that doesn't quite line up this entire game and she doesn't know if she can trust him. She knows he'd turn on her if it was beneficial to him.

Michele tells Tai that they're votes are going on Aubry and he's surprised to hear it, but agrees to vote with him. He says at some point his alliance had to break since it's an individual game now.

Tribal Council #1

There's a lot of talk of who is a bigger threat in the game and how to make the right decision about who to go to the end with.

Aubry warns her fellow tribe members that they should be careful about who they send to the jury right now because that person might have the power to blow up someone else's game with the information they share with the rest of the jury.

Michele feels nervous tonight with all of the power she has with the immunity necklace. She wants to make sure she uses her power wisely.

To the Vote!

The votes come in and it's a two-two tie between Cydney and Aubry. Neither Michele or Tai are about to change their votes so that means a fire-making challenge!

Aubry is the first with flame and she builds up her flame pretty easily. Cydney, on the other hand, cuts her fingers and is unable to get anything going. But Aubry's fire collapses before it can burn through her rope, opening the door for Cydney to make a comeback. She rekindles it though and she wins a spot in the final three.

Cydney becomes the next member of the jury and she's devastated. She just wanted to help her mom out and go to school. It's a rough spot, but she fought hard throughout the game and played really well.

Premature Celebration

Michele feels pretty crappy after Tribal Council, but Aubry is feeling very proud of herself, despite the fact that her friend Cydney is gone as a direct result.

Michele tells Tai that he basically just handed Aubry that million dollars. She says everyone respects Aubry's game, especially now that she just bought her way into the final three.

Tai is worried that they'll have another challenge since Jeff didn't make any references about them pleading their case in front of the jury. Usually Jeff has some grand statement about arguing their way to the top and all that Jeff nonsense. Aubry assures him he's wrong and tells him not to worry about it.

But the next day, Michele comes back with tree mail. They do have one more challenge. This bums out Michele the most. She thought she was in the clear, but now she has to fight for her life once again.

Final Challenge

It's intense as they walk in. Jeff tells them that there is a challenge today but they're not competing for immunity. They are the final three, which they're all relieved to hear. What they'll be competing for is the right to vote out a member of the jury who might come in the way of them winning the million.

It's an interesting concept and it could ultimately help or hurt the winner of this challenge. But unfortunately, it makes for a lackluster challenge with not a lot on the line. They stack some balls on a balance beam and Michele wins.

They'll go to Tribal Council tonight where instead of voting someone off, Michele will break the news to one unlucky member of the jury.

After the challenge, Michele ponders whose vote to cancel. She thinks Joe is the obvious choice but Tai tries to tell her to consider Neal as well. Tai says Neal can persuade other people more than Joe, so maybe he would be the smart choice.

Obviously, Aubry doesn't want her to vote off Joe or Neal. She tells Michele that getting rid of Scot might be the best idea since he's so aggressive and he could make it a point to slander her character. It's a big decision and Michele doesn't want to make the wrong one.

Tribal Council #2

The jury notices right away that no one is wearing a necklace, and they're nervous. Once the bomb drops, people think that the obvious choice is Joe.

But Michele explains that things aren't that crystal clear. It's uncharted territory and she's choosing someone who is persuasive and someone who she knew was never going to vote for her in the end.

The person Michele chooses to boot is Neal. He tells her she came into this game thinking she was a bad ass bitch, but really she's just a sad puppy. Well, Neal, Michele has spoken. And it looks like she made the right choice. So don't let the door hit you in the wounded knee on the way out.

Day 39

Aubry said it was her worst nightmare to see Neal walk away because she was sure he was voting for her, but now she has to work even harder to get the votes she needs. She started this game out as an "anxious ball of crazy," but now she realized that it's okay to be in control and it's okay to be perceived as a threat. She's going into the next Tribal like she goes into every Tribal; like her head is on the chopping block and she needs to maneuver a way to get out unscathed.

Michele knows it's going to be an uphill battle, especially after the words Neal had for her on his way out. But she's not going to be timid and she's going to prove that she's someone that made moves throughout the game that got her here.

Tai thinks that to win he's going to have to win over Scot. But he says that Scot is a great player and he respects the game so he thinks he can appeal to him. He says if he hadn't flipped on his original alliance, none of these three would be here now.

Final Tribal Council

Mark is at the final Tribal Council, which is obviously hilarious.

Nick starts things off with some advice for the the finalists. He tells Michele to display intelligence, Tai to display awareness and Aubry to display confidence.

Well Michele and Aubry take Nick's advice. Tai... not so much.

For some reason every time he's addressed, Tai brings up the Scot vote which is arguably the thing that most of the people on the jury (especially Scot) are bitter about. He doesn't seem to realize that it was a major betrayal when he flipped from that alliance and that doesn't only look bad to the person he flipped on. He is also unaware when it comes to apologizing or making it right. He just keeps repeating himself over and over about how big the flip was and how much it meant to the game.

Debbie is obviously still a little stung that Aubry voted her out. But Aubry takes the right approach to dealing with Debbie, telling her that she's the one regret she has, but their games were just moving in opposite directions. She apologizes to her and says she respects her as a human being and she had to get rid of her because she was a threat. Debbie's ego has never met a compliment it didn't like, so she's satisfied.

Julia points out that Michele's game started off weak and only gotten stronger while Tai's game started off strong and only got weaker. Which should she value more? Tai claims that he's accomplished more than Michele, which is highly questionable. Michele argues that it took time for her to find her footing in the game, but once she did, she kicked it into high gear.

Joe asks Aubry why she should get their votes instead of Tai. Aubry says that she took a lot of the information that Tai came to her with and was the one making the decisions. She says Tai had so many advantages but he didn't have his finger on the pulse of this game like she did. She rallied people together and made things happen that Tai couldn't.

Jason wants to know one thing: Why did Tai pick the other alliance over them? Tai says it was because he was jealous of the relationship the two men had. Which makes sense. Then he keeps talking and calls them savages. Which is a mistake. Tai's best strategy coming into this final Tribal might have been to just not say anything at all.

Cydney wants to know if it was Aubry's plan all along to get rid of her at the end. Aubry says absolutely not; she wanted to get rid of Michele. Michele says she'd rather be sitting there with Cydney and that's why she didn't switch her vote and let it go to fire.

Scot doesn't have any questions for Tai but he points out that he didn't use his idol and he used his advantage wrong and his alliance didn't trust him, so there's no reason to vote for him. He asks Aubry why he should vote for her and she says because as a competitor he should respect someone who is just as competitive but who plays to their different strengths. Then he ends the questions by giving Michele a round of applause for getting stronger as she went and playing so hard.

The finalists make their closing arguments. Aubry says her game has evolved and she made fire to earn her place here. Tai talks about a Vietnamese proverb about a lily floating on the water (???). Michele says she got here by believing in herself and working hard.

To the Final Vote!

At first we see Julia's vote for Michele. Then we see Joe's vote for Aubry. No votes for Tai.

The final votes come in and Michele is the surprise winner of Survivor: Kaoh Rong! Her immunity run, positive attitude, and commendable final Tribal performance were all very impressive. Congratulations Michele!

DID MICHELE DESERVE TO WIN?

Saturday, May 14, 2016

Survivor thoughts from Show May 11th,2016 ! A bit heartbreaking again IMO

Another medical removal but thankfully Joe got to come back to be in the jury so you may look that up in Google and ponderosa for Survivor.

Since there was no tribal not much to report other than the next person to be voted out on Wed season finale night I think will be Cydney she has played a good game and has made no waves but she is a threat in the game she can win if she is left in the finale 3 IMO. She got along with everyone she hid very well with what she was doing up till recently when Aubry figured it out some. I knew she would. I was sad to see Joe leave but that was medical though I am happy to say he is in the jury as I mentioned earlier in this post.

Other than that my finale three right now picks are Aubry, Tai , Michelle. 

On that note folks not much else but may your day or evening be filled with laughter and fun with friends,family. Be kind to one another and smile it does wonders as I always say LOL!

'Survivor: Kaoh Rong' Recap: One Emotional and One Physical Breakdown
'Survivor: Kaoh Rong' Recap: One Emotional and One Physical Breakdown

Contributing Writer, BuddyTV

On the last episode of Survivor: Kaoh Rong, the majority alliance finally got rid of the remaining villain of the season, guaranteeing they would move forward in a solid five. But Tai rocked the vote when he voted for Michele (twice!) instead. Luckily, he still has an idol in his pocket to protect himself for one more vote. This is the last episode before the finale. Let's see who comes up just short.


Who's on the Bottom

After the Tribal Council, Tai says he's in shock. Joe tries to explain to him that the alliance didn't want Jason around and that it was nothing personal.

Tai tries to backpedal his votes for Michele but he does a terrible job. He basically reiterates what he said at Tribal Council when he said that she wasn't part of his alliance. She reminds him calmly that she was in this alliance before he was, and he's yet to prove himself to be a loyal ally.

Tai especially feels betrayed by Aubry because he thought he could trust her but then she "pulled a fast one" on him. She says that she left him out of the vote because the other people in the alliance felt like they didn't have a voice, but in her confessional, she says that she was just trying to reclaim some of the power that Tai held in the game. Aubry realizes that might have been a mistake because now he feels betrayed and doesn't know where that leaves them. It's especially dangerous considering his idol.

Survivor: Kaoh Rong Recap: It's Tai's Way or the Highway >>>

Spa Reward
The Survivors have to race through the jungle and climb a wooden ladder to collect bags of sand. Then they have to launch these sandbags at targets. The first on to finish, wins a night away at a Survivor spa.

It's between Cydney and Aubry the entire challenge as no one else even really comes close. But those two run out of sandbags to toss, which means that they have to wait for everyone else to run out of bags before they can go collect the ones on the course. Then Tai and Michele run out too, which means only Joe has bags left.

They're all left in the position where they're waiting for Joe to get his bags and then use them. He takes his time running through the jungle and then tossing his bags. He wins it with his last two bags as the rest of the tribe cheers him on. Good for you Joe! Getting it done at 71.

In Survivor tradition, Joe gets to pick another member to join him. Joe doesn't hesitate to pick Aubry to join them. But then they have to pick a third person and instead of picking Tai (and his idol) Aubry convinces Joe to pick Cydney.

At the reward, Joe, Cydney and Aubry talk about the possibility of a final three. Joe runs his mouth about how Aubry is the only threat to win and that Cydney should just be happy to make it to the finals. Aubry realizes that that is some baloney, and she says so in her confessional. But suddenly, a light goes off in her head. She realizes that Cydney is a big threat and that she may be better off going to the end with Tai.

Meanwhile, Cydney just plans on staying quiet, keeping her options open and making whatever decision she needs to make that will get her closer to the million.

Back at camp, Tai is worried that things are going to be awkward with Michele, but Michele goes to work right away. They have a heart-to-heart and they come to an understanding that maybe they have been misjudging each other all along.

Tai confides in Michele that he has an idol. So, who will they vote for next? They think Cydney would probably be their best option, but Tai is still worried about moving forward with Aubry after the last vote.

Mending Fences
Tai wakes up the next day and he's really struggling. Survivor is the hardest thing he's ever done and it's really taking an emotional toll on him.

When Aubry gets back from her reward she knows she has some work to do with Tai. She assures him that they're in it together until the end and says that they need to just put one foot in front of the other. Then Tai has another emotional breakdown. He starts to cry but Aubry comforts him. She tells him that he needs to take a deep breath and take time for his own mental health.

It's nice to see that settled, but Cydney sees Aubry and Tai having a close conversation and that makes her nervous. She checks in with Michele and the two of them assure each other that they're solid. They hope they can swing Tai to vote for Aubry or Joe at the next vote.
Tummy Trouble
Joe's having some issues digesting the food from his reward. He has some discomfort in his stomach and he thinks it's enlarging his prostate which is keeping him from urinating. (Woof.)

The medical team checks in on him and gives him some medicine, but he's still struggling. Michele thinks that he's in even more pain than he's letting on. Everyone gets upset because Joe is very dear to them and they don't want to see him suffering. Cydney says he's been like a substitute grandfather to her and of course, Aubry and Joe have a very tight relationship as well.

Later that evening, the medics comes again for another visit. Dr. Joe tells Survivor Joe that his enlarged prostate could cause future damage to his kidneys so they have to pull him from the game. Of course this is devastating news with only five days left to go in the game, but Joe doesn't want to take any risks with his health because there other challenges that wait for him in the future. Jeff tells Joe that it's been an honor watching him play this game with people nearly 50 years younger than he is and that he's an inspiration for people to stay adventurous and exhilarated for as long as they can.

As terrible as this is for Joe, it's just as devastating to Aubry's game. Now two of her major allies have been medically evacuated and she's left without her solid second vote. Let's see if she can still make it to the finals without him.

Survivor airs on Wednesdays at 8pm on CBS.

Days fans some old villians and much more maybe returning to Salem ha ha omg CAN'T WAIT!!

Just for you Days Fans some old loves and from what I am reading here some old characters WHICH I myself CAN'T wait to see again ha ha! One is Vivian and Lawrence Alamain which seeing Vivian again will be fun though she never gets away with much :) 

I for one wish they really didn't bring back Aiden okay the actor who plays him I like he is a great actor but bringing Aiden back just not sure how that sits with me right now. Just seeing some old familiar faces again from the past will be the best IMO.

So without further ado (hope I said that right LOL) enjoy your day may your day be filled with laughter with friends and family. Be kind and smile it does wonders when you do it to others who may not be expecting it :)

Another Old “Love” for Hope as Larry Welch Makes Days of Our Lives Return
25
Remember that dastardly “Days of Our Lives” DA from the 1980s that Doug thought was the perfect match for his little girl, encouraging the 18-year-old Hope to date an obviously older man–as long as he wasn’t Bo Brady?
Well, it looks like he’s back to give Hope (Kristian Alfonso) more agita, because clearly a back-from-the-dead husband isn’t enough. Now, she needs a returned ex-fiance, as well.
That’s right. According to the Jason 47 Days Website, we should make room for Larry Welch on our DAYS screens June 6. Andrew Massett will reprise the role he created back in 1983.
Longtime fans will never forget when Larry believed he was marrying Hope, but Bo had kidnapped the bride from the church and put a cigar-smoking Howie Hoffsteader in her place. The moment Larry lifted the veil still goes down as one of the most memorable DAYS scenes of all time.
Jason 47 also teases the possible returns of other villains, including Vivian and Lawrence Alamain (Louise Sorel and Michael Sabatino). One possibility on the list is also Eileen Davidson’s Kristen, but the actress is currently quite busy as Ashley over at “The Young and the Restless.”
DAYS airs weekdays on NBC. Share your thoughts, leave a comment in the section below. Additionally, for more Days of Our Lives’ spoilers updates, recaps, and news, go to Soap Hub’s Facebook fanpage and join the conversation about all your favorite soaps!

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Unix!

 

by

On the History of the Unix Operating System

technology-1283624_1280
In the year 1969, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie led a team of programmers at Bell Labs to develop the Unix operating system, which was to be a successor to Multics. It proved to be a smashing success in the growing computing field and became the standard for operating systems for the next two decades. In the year 1991, a Finnish programmer by the name of Linus Torvalds had an itch to develop a Free and Open Source (FOSS) port of Unix, and announced his intentions on Usenet mailing lists, leading to a famous debate with one computer science professor, Andrew Tanenbaum.
We today know Linux as the root of the Android operating system, dominant in the tablet and smartphone market by as much as 85%. But what many people don’t realize is the huge amount of other attempts that were made to create the perfect Unix-like operating system. Like settlers braving the snow to lead a wagon trail out west, the early days of computing marked many attempts to forge a settlement in the digital wild west, and many met defeat. The players in this epic saga might surprise you.

1.
So What Was Wrong With Unix?

The problem with Unix was that it was snarled up in legal tangles. While Unix was widely adopted by the 1980s because of its portability and universal application – only 20,000 lines of code, mostly in C, most of it not machine-dependent – obtaining it was a pain. First, it was only distributable in source-code form, and not officially supported by AT&T. Then there was the infamous 1983 U.S. Department of Justice antitrust case against AT&T, settled by splitting up the company. This freed AT&T to begin commercial licensing of Unix as a binary product, but also irked many in the computing world who had begun to think of Unix as an open-source product.
And who could blame them? Early business law spent decades in clumsy missteps trying to figure out how to legally treat the concept of software. Code was a written medium, so should it be copyrighted like a poem? It operated machines to make them do things, so should it be patented like machinery? But at its basic element, source code was nothing more than a set of instructions on a computer, which judges and lawyers at the time thought of more as “calculator” than today’s multimedia machines – so should source code simply be in the public domain, like a mathematical formula?
As a system, Unix was destined to become a corporate orphan, with courtroom fights raging over its ownership lasting to this very day. The legal provisions of the antitrust settlement at Bell Systems prevented it from selling Unix to end users; it could only sell licenses to sell Unix to other corporations. In any case, many computer enthusiasts in both the public and private sector sought to free the spirit of Unix from its legal shackles. It’s kind of touching, really, how much goofy affection everybody had for Unix at first.

2.
Plan Nine From Bell Labs

The name of this system pulls you in first. Surely, this is a joke? No commercial company would put out an operating system with a name based on Plan Nine From Outer Space, a movie which is one of the most notoriously bad turkeys produced by Ed Wood?
The look and feel of the Plan Nine operating system is even more startling than its name. You can type or edit text anywhere there’s a screen, and if it’s a command you’re typing, you can middle-click on it to execute it right on the spot. You get a screen shot not from a utility in a menu, but from piping/dev/screen to a file. You don’t get a menu at all. You type a program’s name in any window and execute it, and the window then becomes whatever program you told it to run. View a man page, and the whole text just dumps into whatever you were doing. The window manager, rio, can actually run instances of itself embedded inside itself, so you can make Inception jokes. The ‘cut’ part of ‘cut and paste’ is named ‘snarf’ instead. It’s the most alien software platform ever created, as if an alternate universe portal opened to give us a glimpse of computing in the fifth dimension. It also takes a while for your computing habits to return to normal after running Plan Nine for awhile.
Plan Nine From Bell Labs is indeed the “sequel,” so to speak, to Unix, developed likewise by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. They intended the system to be more of a research platform than an end-user product. They hit this mark with flying colors, as nobody outside of universities and the occasional server-room guru seems to know it exists. The original Unix had the philosophy of treating objects like a file wherever possible, but Plan Nine initiates you into the way of thinking where “everything is a file” applies always, even where it’s impossible. The mouse is a file, the screen is a file, the user is a file. Thompson and Ritchie sought in Plan Nine to fix what they saw as short-comings of Unix, and in the process made many arguable improvements, but also produced a rift in the space-time continuum.
If you seek out Plan Nine today, you can find it in its modern-day equivalent of Inferno by Lucent Technologies. Just be careful talking to the Plan Nine natives. Their following is tiny, but passionate.

3.
Microsoft Xenix

Go ahead, ask anybody in the office what Microsoft’s first operating system was. You’ll win a lot of lunch bets this way. Back before Windows became the standard, Bell Labs sold a Unix license to Microsoft, which in turn slapped the name Xenix on it over howls of protest from the marketing department and began distributing it to the usual OEMs, which, in 1980, mostly comprised the PDP market. End-user distributors included IBM, Altos, SCO, and Tandy. Yes, the Tandy TRS-80, now legendary in hacker guru circles, ran Xenix. Tandy, affiliated with the Radio Shack chain of retail stores, was one of the front-runners of the late ’70s/early ’80s home-computer revolution, when computers were marketed on television by the likes of Bill Cosby, Bill Bixby, and a doddering Charlie Chaplin impersonator. Walk into a Radio Shack today and ask about Tandy, then watch the blank reactions.
Microsoft eventually sold Xenix off to SCO-Group, and now you know the beginnings of the SCO-IBM eternal lawsuit. Microsoft seemed apt to get out of the Unix business altogether, but would go on to co-develop the IBM-OS series of operating systems before starting on their own DOS and later Windows.

4.
BSD

BSD isn’t so much rightly called a free implementation of Unix as it is Unix’s cousin. It stands for Berkeley Software Distribution, originating from the University of California at Berkeley. But due to the licensing complications of Bell Labs’ Unix, the code base was freely shared and swapped back and forth between Berkeley and Bell Labs, the latter of which would periodically re-merge BSD code into the Unix core. Of all the Unix variants, BSD sticks the closest to being true-blue Unix.
Out of all the also-rans in the race against Linux to be the standard Unix, BSD is also the closest to a surviving live system today. It’s still actively developed, thanks to its infamous BSD license, which basically boils down to “we don’t care what you do with this code as long as you don’t bother us when it breaks.” BSD, in one form or another (it’s been FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD), is actively running on home and commercial computing centers to this day as well. Among many innovations, at the time when the computing divide was between Unix System V and BSD in universities, BSD won out because it was the first to integrate an Internet protocol system. Furthermore, BSD begat FreeBSD, which begat NEXTSTEP, which begat Mac OS X, the modern Apple computer operating system. Thus, as Linux is to Android, so is BSD to Apple.
BSD, perhaps influenced by Berkeley culture, also has a racier, hackier reputation. In the first place, there’s “Beastie,” the BSD mascot, a cute devil in sneakers wielding a pitchfork. More than one BSD fan has been mistaken for a Satanist, and they don’t seem to much mind. BSD distributions include names like GhostBSD and MidnightBSD, suggesting a streetwise cyberpunk vibe. Linux’s mascot is a soft cuddly penguin; BSD’s mascot is an armed demon, and guess which system ends up with the hardcore users?
A big question looms: If BSD is better than I Can’t Believe It’s Not Unix, why did Linux beat it out in popularity? For one thing, just as Unix was tied up in legal foibles, BSD was also the subject of lawsuits between Berkeley and AT&T. While the lawsuit was demonstrably resolved in Berkeley’s favor, Linux had time to gain ground. Torvalds, as the head of Linux, also had the unique leadership skills to ensure Linux remained free and open. The GNU license is partly responsible for Linux’s survival, as it’s the only software license that basically makes the code base into its own sovereign nation.

5.
GNU HURD

Speaking of ol’ GNU, what was Richard M. Stallman up to during all these shenanigans? Since he was the guy who led the charge to make a free (as in freedom!) Unix and authored the GNU GPL which breathes life into so much software today, why wasn’t he heading a derivative Unix version himself? The answer is that he was doing just that. Slowly. Deliberately. Determinedly. Not compromising a fraction of a centimeter on his principles. Have you ever worked with someone who refuses to compromise a fraction of a centimeter on their principles? Their virtue is admirable, but how fast do they get work done? That’s how fast Richard Stallman works.
Poor Stallman. He never set out to become a knight templar for computing liberty, he only wanted the printer to work. Yes, in 1980 while working for the MIT AI Lab, Stallman and others in his department just wanted to improve the newly-purchased Xerox 9700 so it would ping users when their print job was finished. But for the first time, a proprietary software license told him he could not do that, and that set him on the lifelong course of being the computing liberty crusader.
You can, indeed, download and run a release, so to speak, of GNU HURD. It works well enough, if you like running terminal-only. It certainly runs Emacs, which is half an operating system already. The GNU utilities like gcc are all part of every major Linux distro. The problem is that refusing to compromise has proved to be daunting to development. For instance, insisting on 0% compromise with proprietary technology locks you out of simple things like fonts, hardware support, removable media support, and a whole lot of graphical interface support. In areas where GNU software is unfettered by proprietary restrictions, it’s the best of its kind. But instead of becoming the dominant Unix-alike, it became borrowed piecemeal by Linux and other FOSS systems, which is why to this day GNU cultists insist that Linux is actually “GNU-Linux,” and most everybody just shrugs at that. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride – that’s GNU.

6.
Minix

There’s one last footnote in the FOSS Unix race. Anybody with a STEM degree who’s so much as booted a Linux distro probably knows about the infamous 1992 Usenet debate between Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Linux Torvalds. Tanenbaum and Torvalds argued back and forth over microkernel versus macrokernel and other operating system design philosophies. Tanenbaum was a professor at the time and developed Minix purely as a hobby, by his own admission, and a teaching tool for his students to tinker with. History has since shown that arguing with Torvalds over the Internet about software is about as wise as poking a hungry grizzly with a sharp stick while rubbing meat tenderizer on your body. Torvalds is famous for eviscerating people over technology issues and even professor Tanenbaum was no exception. Nevertheless, they’re still friends. Torvalds, luckily enough, has been validated a thousand times over; If he’s harsh, it’s because he’s been right about everything all along and had a hard time convincing everybody.
Minix, at the time, had a stronger argument. Tanenbaum’s logic was that a microkernal is less hardware dependent and can run on cheaper hardware – in other words, the hardware his students were using. But this has become a non-issue over the years, because Moore’s law was on Torvalds’ side. Today, even the cheapest smartphone available is many times more powerful than the iron rigs students in the 1990s were running.
Like the other systems here, you can download and run a Minux distro. Make no mistake, Tanenbaum is a teacher first and is a highly respected author and lecturer, and his system does boot and run, but it’s more like the GNU HURD than Linux because, once again, it picked a restrictive philosophy.

7. 
The Unix Legacy…

Is Unix the perfection of operating system design? It seems to be a contender, since even Microsoft MS-DOS was modeled after CP/M, which was inspired by Unix. The saga of Unix is the soul incarnate of the computer revolution and the information age, and there’s never a time when it won’t be relevant. At the end of the 1982 film Tron, after the MCP is defeated, the core’s bulk slowly spins down until it’s revealed to have a core of an old teletype machine from the dawn of computing. And in the same way, no matter how many layers of abstraction we lay over technology as we design shiny new toys, Unix is always at the core.

Big Brother Rumors All Stars? Survivor thoughts to from last show :)

Its that time everyone Big Brother another season of Drama, fun and possible all star cast mixed with new folks! I can't wait for the new season to start I am ready for it as soon as Survivor is done for the season its on to Big Brother and all the fun IMO :)

To note Survivor this season has been pretty good though we had to watch to castaways being bullies sorry but they were even though once Scot got voted out Jason became somewhat mellow but thought revenge which didn't work. Jason followed the lead of Scot and then tried to do it alone but with Julia who I liked till she got with those two and she thought she could do what they did that for her got her voted out and then Jason was on his way afterwards but first they voted out Michelle which I was a bit surprised that happen.

Anyhow, thought id get my thoughts in on Survivor to lol and I am glad Jason got voted out sorta. 

Back to Big Brother I can't wait for the new show to start for the summer getting all my summer junk foods ready lol because watching Big Brother you gotta have the popcorn and nachos and all that fun food :)

Here is a link to Big Brother on the rumors not sure if true or not but I am hoping its a mix of new and vets of the show.

Enjoy may your day be full of joy, happiness ,fun , family and friends may your day be awesome! Be kind to one another and for all the mom's who may read my blog HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to you!!

Big Brother 18 Preseason Rumors: ‘Some Sort of All-Stars’

| April 29, 2016 at 11:30 AM EDT
Casting calls for Big Brother 18 have wrapped with both the audition events and online applications closing down last week after several months of Houseguest searching, but does CBS have plans to look elsewhere for their next batch of HGs?

No Big Brother preseason is complete without the default cries of “it’s going to be an All-Stars season!” but, as I’ve heard, things are often fluid in the season’s plans that it’d be too early for any formal decisions on what’s ahead. Now that we’re closing in there may be more to support some of the claims.
Previously I read that Austin suggested we’d see familiar faces on Big Brother 18, but was that just another Judas move that we couldn’t trust? Another former HG noted privately that there was an interest in fresh blood this season. So which would it be? How about some sort of mix of the two?
Big Brother’s own legendary Houseguest Janelle Pierzina tweeted this week suggesting she was hearing rumors of “some sort of All-Stars”:

Okay, let’s feed the rumor beast and do some speculation while fully admitting I have no additional information outside of what’s been listed above.
I’ve contended for awhile that Big Brother made too many separate trips to the well to compile a full cast of sixteen plus Houseguests who haven’t already made multiple trips to the season. A decent alternative could be a combination of new and veteran players, which I really would not like.
Remember BB13 where hero worship and veteran domination overtook the seemingly helpless newbies? Then we got it again in BB14 the very next summer. Do I want to see that again? No thank you, but it’s definitely not up to me and if it happens then we’ll make the best of it.
So there are some options for a mixed cast. Over on Survivor we watched the Blood Vs Water season, which used a combination of returning players and loved ones as the new faces, have a successful run and there was talk in recent seasons that we’d be seeing it, but really that talk was based on Survivor having just done it.
Another possibility for a combo season of new and returning could be a Fans vs Favorites. The reduced set of open call events this year compared to other recent seasons could translate to a lesser need of new cast members this season. That would also work well with fewer available strong legacy players who haven’t been in the house again and again.
Remember this is entirely speculation and guessing stemming from comments we’re hearing from former Big Brother houseguests. We’ve still heard nothing official to confirm in either direction of an all new, all returning, or somewhere in between.
More rumors and possibly even Big Brother cast spoilers could start to appear over the next two months, but nothing will likely be official until mid June with the BB18 cast is revealed and hopefully I’ll be there to sit down with them for our preseason interviews.
So what do you want to see happen for Big Brother 18? All new, all returning, or a mix of the two? Vote in our poll below and then share your thoughts in the comments section.

Big Brother 18 Casting: Do you want new, returning, or combo?


Big Brother 18 starts on June 22, 2016 and we’re planning another awesome summer of coverage. If you want to catch all our updates then join us on Facebook, Twitter, and get our Email Updates.

Hearthstone_Whispers_Old_Gods
It’s been about a week in Hearthstone since the Whispers of the Old Gods set released, and the gods might be whispering, but the new set is also the talk of the town among players. The set has been a shake-up to the game meta in more ways than one.

The Introduction of Formats

First off, hearthstone is now mature enough to have formats. These are currently Standard and Wild – Standard being everything but Goblins vs Gnomes and Curse of Naxxramas, Wild being every card ever printed.

Currently, it looks like we’re all playing Standard. For those of you who invested in the early sets, you’re out of luck except for crafting dust value. Players are citing reasons why they’re sticking to Standard for now:
  • A relief from the decks that were always dominant before.
  • Blizzard has removed the Goblins vs Gnomes boosters and Curse of Naxxramas adventure from the store. So there’s no growth for Wild format going forward, unless you’re going to invest the dust.
  • Official Hearthstone events will only be hosted in Standard format.
  • People have simply gotten bored with the oldest set, whether playing with or against.
no_more_Dr_Boom
In this way, we begin to see some of the problems that plague long-term TCGs. How do you keep the game growing while still keeping it fun? As the game grows, interactions between cards in a more diverse pool gives rise to broken combos and formula decks. But calving away old cards disenfranchises those loyal players who were with you from the beginning. Other paper TCGs have already run this gamut of growing pains, so it will be interesting to see whether Blizzard Entertainment learns its lessons faster.

The Meta Shift

While old decks like Druid Combo are no longer the bane of the meta, new decks have risen to replace them already. This is because the new set introduced C'Thun, and boosters are chock full of minions that support your C’Thun before it comes out. Since everybody gets a C’Thun whether they want one or not, we’ve seen the rise of a thousand C’Thun decks.
everybody_gets_a_CThun
And I, for one, am underwhelmed by this strategy. I’m sorry, maybe it’s that everybody can play it right from the start with the generous fistful of packs everybody got for little effort, but y’all are some terrible C’Thuners. Your C’Thun is out of tune. The way it pops up peek-a-boo every time you play a minion boost to it just puts a sign on your head that says “kill me before turn ten.” Or eight, if you’re running a Druid. C’thun decks are so predictable I can anticipate every turn. I have beaten ten C’Thun decks easy for every one that’s beaten me, and it’s getting to where I’m ready to dust every card in my stash that refers to it.

Warlock Zoo

Word around the campfire says this meta is supposed to be slower, more grindy, and more controlling. I’ll say so, but it ain’t the only way to fly. Maybe it’s just my play style, but I like it when my games end by turn six, which is why I play Warlock Zoo. Here’s My (current) Pet Deck, Warlock Zoo:

It’s funny how so much of this list is recently nerfed, and yet still playable, which shows how dominant these cards would be now if they weren’t nerfed. Knife Juggler is still a persistent menace, Ironbeak Owl is still necessary to get around taunt and other bothersome problems, and Leper Gnome is still an obnoxious stinger when opponents try to wipe the board.

I might rotate a few cards in and out, depending. I find the Warlock Zoo builds online to have a slightly rougher curve, whereas this deck never has a dull turn and keeps the foot on the gas and the pressure on the opponent. My most common finagle is to replace Worgen Infiltrator for Soulfire, because one-shot finishers become important when your paranoid opponent is boardwiping every turn.
But that Darkshire Councilman! Holy smoking jokers, does that guy ever punch! Coining him out turn two feels like cheating; by doing what the rest of the deck wants to do anyway, he’s usually punching for five damage and up before opponents can stop him. Players don’t seem to realize yet that Darkshire’s ability works on any summon, even if it was from another minion.

But now, the bad news… At manacrystals.com, Warlock Zoo is the sole listing under “Top Decks to Beat,” which means if you’re Warlock Zoo, it’s a dog-eat-dog world and you’re wearing Milkbone shorts. Everybody is tuning their decks to beat you. Recently I’ve met matches that seemed ready for me, seemed to have an answer for every card I played before I played it. The window might slam fast on Warlock Zoo’s fingers.

Here again, another parallel with Magic: The Gathering. In MTG, the first week after a new set and new bannings / unbannings is one of predictable certainty: There will be fast aggro decks, and then after awhile the midrange decks form a firewall to stop them. Then aggro settles back in the shadows and other decks focus on beating each other again. Stick to fast beatdown aggro, and you’ll catch the meta by surprise. But look out, because the deck with the simplest plan to win is also the deck with the simplest answers against it.

So That’s the State of the Hearthstone This Week

It’s still one of the best electronic TCGs out there, and the playing price is the best of all. I haven’t spent a penny yet; everything you see is from grinding and miserly hoarding of dust. I might toss some cash into it someday though. How long can I expect to ride like this?

Meet The Big Brother Celebrity cast ! ONE of them for me is OMG WHY!!

Celebrity Big Brother cast is here & for me one of the cast member is WHY IN GODS NAME is Big Brother thinking have this thing on!! I am...
