Title: Xigamatek Red Scorpion S1283 ( -at -) Tech-Reviews.co.uk Briefing: Direct heat pipe technology on CPU coolers is becoming more frequent than ever, at Tech-Reviews we reviewed a Nexus HOC-9000 a few days ago which made use of this new technology. The results from the heatsink bundle were good, but nothing to shout about. Today we've got another entry to the 'direct heat pipe' family, the Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283. Unlike the Nexus, the Red Scorpion hasn't been designed for silence in mind; instead, it's been designed for pure performance and efficiency. Well let's just see shall we.

The 2008.0 final release is out! Code-named "It's got what plants crave," this release contains numerous new features including an updated installer [1], improved hardware support, a complete rework of profiles, and a move to Xfce instead of GNOME on the LiveCD. LiveDVDs are not available for x86 or amd64, although they may become available in the future. The 2008.0 release also includes updated versions of many packages already available in your ebuild tree. * Updated installer: The installer now only performs networkless installations using the packages and ebuild tree on the LiveCD. It also contains numerous fixes for extended and logical partitions. * Improved hardware support: Moving to the 2.6.24 kernel added many new drivers for hardware released since the 2007.0 release. * Complete rework of profiles: Restructuring profiles allowed significant cleanup of redundancies, reducing developer maintenance and confusion. The difference for you is that profiles now appear in /usr/portage/profiles/ under default/linux/ instead of default-linux/. See the upgrading guide [2] for more details. * Xfce instead of GNOME on the LiveCD: To save space, the LiveCDs switched to the smaller Xfce environment. This means that a binary installation using the LiveCD will install Xfce, but you're still free to build GNOME or KDE from source. * No LiveDVDs on x86 or amd64: In the interest of getting the release out, the release engineering team [3] decided to postpone LiveDVDs because of problems in their generation. They may show up later—if so, we'll let you know. * Updated packages: Highlights of the 2008.0 release include Portage 2.1.4.4 [4], a 2.6.24 kernel, Xfce 4.4.2, gcc 4.1.2 and glibc 2.6.1. A big thanks goes out to our release engineering team members [3] for their hard work over many months to turn 2008.0 into reality. Get the new release from our "Get Gentoo!" page [5].

Coolink GFXChilla VGA Cooler - Cooling The Radeon HD 4850 A couple weeks ago when the ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card came out the card proved itself to be a price versus performance winner, but we couldn't ignore the high temperatures that it ran at. Our temperature testing showed that the Radeon HD 4850 ran at 85C at load, which was within specifications, but is too hot for us to ignore. We install a Coolink GFXChilla on a Radeon HD 4850 with the hopes of reducing temperatures and you'll be shocked to see the results! Quote: "The test results show that the Coolink GPUChilla dropped the idle temperatures by 49% and the load temperatures by an impressive 45%! Our only complaint on the Radeon HD 4850 was how hot the card ran and the Coolink GPUChilla took cooling to the next level. The 49% reduction at idle put the Radeon HD 4850 at 33C, which is better than we expected. The factory heat sink works, but it obviously leaves room for improvement...

Title: Vista vs Vista SP1 Comparison ( -at -) DragonSteelMods Review Link: http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8389&Itemid=39 Review Snipit: " So I was curious as to what enhancements or improvements to Vista came with the Service Pack 1, and to satiate my curiosity I ran a bunch of benchmarks just like I would with any 'official' review that I do to see what if any differences there are between Vista and Vista with SP1 installed. I figure why let all of that work go to waste, why not make a nice little article about it for my site to share with everyone."

More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can be found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.1 to GLib 2.17.3 =================================================== * PCRE - fix for CVE-2008-2371 * Bugs fixed: 538119 glib's mainloop leaks a pipe to sub-processes 537635 Corrections and improvements to g_time_val_{to,from}_iso8601 539067 The document g_io_channel_win32_new_fd() says... 535949 annotate g_strip_context and g_dpgettext with G_GNUC_FORMAT 539123 annotate g_d[n]gettext with G_GNUC_FORMAT 539074 Cannot get exit status with g_spawn_command_line_sync 316221 G_LOCK warns about breaking strict-aliasing rules 539770 migrate gstrfunc unit tests to gtest 539626 Update docstrings for g_object_freeze_notify and g_object_thaw_notify 538044 unconditional use of LC_MESSAGES 540545 Monotonic time and timer offset 535947 want g_set_error_literal 539999 glibconfig.h: add GLIB_USING_SYSTEM_PRINTF 536252 GFileEnumerator should allow access to the containing GFile 538362 Get Win32 icons back in the file chooser 540802 g_list_prepend doesn't concat lists 540423 unrecoverable error after g_seekable_truncate 538836 make check failure on PPC and ALPHA: pltcheck.sh on g_atomic_pointer_get 539090 g_content_type_from_mime_type() should unalias 540331 g_file_append_to () documentation: can return NULL 534639 add g_desktop_app_info_new_from_keyfile 536733 gio build failure on Irix 536160 Add g_file_monitor() 538127 FileChooser broken on win32 531476 /live-g-file/test_traverse_structure test fails on Mac HFS+ 538564 gio should have gio-types.h 540047 glib-genmarshal.c: '#include ' is too before Updated translations: Korean (ko) Occitan (oc) Thanks to all contributors: Hans Breuer Thiago Macieira Christian Persch Peter Kjellerstedt Hiroyuki Ikezoe Tor Lillqvist Stefan Kost Johan Dahlin Sebastian Dröge Kristian Rietveld Paolo Borelli Cody Russell Tim-Philipp Müller Björn Lindqvist Patrik Olsson Yevgen Muntyan Colin Walters Ross Burton Michael Natterer Akira Tagoh Mart Raudsepp Markus Bergman Jared Moore Josselin Mouette Behdad Esfahbod Kazuki IWAMOTO July 2, 2008 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________

*** About glibmm glibmm is a C++ API for glib, used by gtkmm. glibmm 2.16 wraps new API in glib 2.16, including the new gio library, and is API/ABI-compatibile with glibmm 2.14, 2.12, 2.10, 2.8, 2.6 and 2.4. It is a version of the glibmm-2.4 API. gtkmm and glibmm stay in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/ Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also API-stable. http://www.gtkmm.org *** Development

Greetings to hackers of the good hack, After seven years of development by a varied and motley crew, we are pleased and relieved to finally announce the first^Wsecond API- and ABI-stable release of guile-gnome-platform, version 2.16.0^W2.16.1. Guile-gnome-platform 2.16.1 may be downloaded from: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-gnome/guile-gnome-platform/guile-gnome-platform-2.16.1.tar.gz Version 2.16.0 was released without publicity. 2.16.1 is a bugfix release, but those interested in history can grab older tarballs in that same directory: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-gnome/guile-gnome-platform/ About guile-gnome-platform ========================== Guile-gnome-platform is a binding between Guile Scheme and the Gnome stack of libraries. It is API- and ABI- stable. There are several things that are the awesome about this code: * It's fully integrated! Instances of GObject are objects in Scheme; you can query their properties, class hierarchies, etc at runtime. You can derive new types yourself, with signals, properties, and the like. Good stuff! * It's fully documented! Start with the tutorial-like docs for the core GObject wrapper: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/docs/gobject/html/gnome-gobject.html Then branch out into individual modules: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/docs/ * Fully extensible! Guile-Gnome-Platform also provides a good base off of which to bind other libraries based on GLib. For example, Guile-Clutter binds almost all of the new Clutter library, with documentation, and most of that work was done in a day. * Stable! Write once, run anywhen! Guile-Gnome's API and ABI will never be changed incompatibly. * Scheme! You will be assimilated, or alternately, gnawed to death by fingernail clippings. Changes ======= packaging changes ----------------- * Removed the "docs" module; its content, the tutorial, is now folded into the documentation for all of the relevant modules (e.g. GLib, GTK+, CORBA, etc.) * Changelogs have all been archived to ChangeLog.pre-2.16, because now we will just use revision control logs. * Suppress some automake warnings. * Add guile-clutter to the set of configurable packages. atk --- * Improved documentation. cairo ----- * New platform release, no change. corba ----- * Improved documentation, folding the tutorial text in to the (gnome corba) module commentary. * Removed a printf. defs ---- * New platform release, no change. gconf ----- * Imroved documentation, with example. * Fixed a bug regarding GConfClient notification. glib ---- * Improved documentation. * Build process is slightly less noisy. * Recognize GInitiallyUnowned as a sinkable object. This doesn't affect e.g. GTK+, for which we already recognize GtkObject as sinkable, but it does affect e.g. Clutter. * Don't error when constructing parameter types of which we are unaware. Affects e.g. ClutterUnit parameters; the precise nature of this fix will change in the future. * Accept integers as init values for or values. * Bugfix for custom-wrapped boxed values, like GdkRectangle. * Fix regressions on x86-64. gnome-vfs --------- * Improved documentation, with some example code. gtk --- * Improved documentation, merging in content from the tutorial into the main GTK+ docs. libglade -------- * Improved documentation, with an example. libgnome -------- * Improved documentation. libgnomecanvas -------------- * Improved documentation. libgnomeui ---------- * Improved documentation. pango ----- * Added (gnome pangocairo) module, along with documentation. -- http://wingolog.org/ _______________________________________________
