Git
Google Tech Talks
October, 12 2007
ABSTRACT
When you have hundreds of people simultaneously patching 25000 files of the Linux Kernel in sometimes conflicting ways, you might need some scheme or plan to sort all that out before you can build your next kernel and reboot. The Linux team uses "git" for their source code repository management, a homegrown solution that is optimized for highly distributed development, working with huge sets of files, merging independent work at multiple levels, and seeing who broke what. (Git has also since been notably adopted by the Cairo, x.org, and Wine teams, and is being transitioned to by the Mozilla codebase.)
In my talk, I describe what "git"; is and isn't, and why you should use it instead of CVS, Subversion, SVK, Arch, Darcs, Mercurial, Monotone, Bazaar, and just about every other repository manager. I'll also walk though the basic concepts so that the manpages might start making sense. If I have time, I'll even do a live walkthrough, where you can watch how fast I make typos.

Animated Amiga Tribute by Eric Schwartz
The song "Still Alive" is a little past it's prime today, and in fact I could have had this up in January, but I'd been trying since then to get usage permission from Valve software, with no response at all except some positive comment from songwriter Jonathan Coulton (Thanks John!). So - I'll just recommend that everyone who likes the music either buy the game Portal, or the music CD/track downloads from Amazon. Hope you enjoy the vid.

Schwartz Table
Manufactured by DB Fletcher Furniture Design @ http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan/
Fletcher Capstan Tables
The expanding table shown here is the result of many years of development, but follows a line of history of more than one and a half centuries. This, the Fletcher Capstan Table, is the only table in the world with its unique properties.
It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular.
The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30Ëš. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities.
All Capstan Tables are exclusively designed and built, and each one numbered. Careful consideration is always given to a table's location and components are made to the highest standards. Nautical tables are so constructed that they are able to resist a harsh marine environment to the point that they may be positioned permanently on an exposed deck.
Read about the genesis and history of the Radially Expanding Table.
Specifications
* Tables can be of any style and of any suitable material and are exclusively designed for each commission
* The area of the table expands by 73% allowing two sizes with seating capacities of six and twelve.
* Typical diameter variation -- small size 1.9m (74.75"), large 2.5m (98.5")
* The operating mechanism is beautifully engineered, simple and robust.
PATENT GRANTED. DESIGN RIGHT.

Michael Schwartz Antiwar Radio with Scott Horton (1 of 4)
Michael Schwartz, Professor Sociology at Stony Brook University and author of the new book War Without End: The Iraq War in Context, discusses his latest TomDispatch article, "River of Resistance," the true scale of the destruction of Iraq, various studies of Iraqi casualties, direct responsibility of the U.S. military for the majority of the hundreds of thousands of violent Iraqi deaths since 2003, the plight of the refugees and the dire poverty of many of those who remain, the West Bank-ization of Baghdad with life-strangling concrete walls, various past neocon fantasies about the position the Empire would be in by now, the complete destruction of the Iraqi economy by Viceroy Bremer and his edicts, the wreaking of the empire over the backs of the people of Iraq, the abuse of the term "free market" by American imperialists and leftists who oppose them and the responsibility of the major media in America for denying the humanity of those our government murders.
MP3 here. (36:09)
Michael Schwartz, Professor Sociology at Stony Brook University, has written extensively on popular protest and insurgency. His analysis of America's Iraq War have appeared regularly at Tomdispatch.com, as well as the Asia Times, Mother Jones, and Contexts. His forthcoming Tomdispatch book, War Without End: The Iraq War in Context explores how the militarized geopolitics of oil led the U.S. to dismantle the Iraqi state and economy while fueling a sectarian civil war.
