I don't have to remind you that the origin of this discussion was because it doesn't work with 64bits FPU... I didn't, but isn't that the point; that it has weirdness on 64-bit CPU's? IMO an algorithm that is broken on some CPU's but not others is still broken :-). Perhaps even /more/ broken since it isn't consistent. Otherwise it was tested against some of the characteristics of white noise , like I did for your first iteration of randum number generator (the comment was wrong and probably a remain of the past experiment). I don't think I'm following that, sorry. I made my own effort to examine the mean, and... except for the problem with the low-order bits showing visible tiling, I don't see a problem with that algorithm. Over a 1024x1024 region, I'm getting mean values right around 2^62, exactly where they should be. (I don't know that I can do standard deviation calculations without keeping an array of the values, but the histogram visually looks as good as can be expected. I'm also dropping the low 24 bits to have room to run an accumulator, but that should merely bias the mean a bit to the low end, not throw it off radically, and indeed I seem to be seeing just about the expected amount of bias toward zero.) I've never used octave, but I wonder now how you came by your original results, as I apparently can't reproduce them. Or when you say "the comment was wrong", do you mean that you're not getting those results either? Of course, I may or may not know what I'm doing, which is why I'd love to hear of your own results poking at my attempts. (I'm also not sure I know what you mean by "characteristics of white noise ", to be honest.) At any rate, my current preference is for the my latest generation (as attached) as it generates a full 64 bits of data, all of which seem to be adequate, or if that's too slow for the original algorithm I posted (either as-is, or with the expansion to a pure 64-bit version and with larger constants as in the alternate implementation, attached), probably reduced to a 48-bit output to strip the known-bad bits. Or for something better than we've come up with yet :-). If anyone has a better idea for a procedural PRNG, I'd love to hear about it. My main complaints with the current one are that it relies on FPU quirks (I think we agree here :-) ) and that I'm really not thrilled with the Gaussian distribution (I'd prefer uniform). -- Matthew Please do not quote my e-mail address unobfuscated in message bodies. -- このテキストを翻訳する時間の無駄だばかばかしい _______________________________________________ kimageshop mailing list kima ... @kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kimageshop

A love of literature meets a marketplace need. The result? A flourishing business!

Co-founders Alex Bloomingdale and Brad Satoris were successful entrepreneurs who had shared a love of literature since their college days -- particularly Shakespeare. The concept for eNotes.com came out of that love. They wanted to create a place on the internet where people could discuss and dissect literature; where teachers and students could "meet" and further their studies. They quickly realized they weren't the only ones who craved this destination -- there was a significant marketplace need they could fill. They envisioned eNotes as more than a shallow, "Cliffs Notes" type of resource. Instead, they focused on attracting the best educators and providing serious content that would appeal to both teachers and students. And, in 2004, eNotes.com was launched.

eNotes, in their own words:
"eNotes.com began as a site for literature study guides. Over the past 6 years, it has grown into an all-purpose study site for students and teachers. The site combines the highest quality content such as study guides, lesson plans, and reference materials with a vibrant and active community. Currently the site has over 700,000 registered users and more than 4,000,000 unique visitors per month."

I do understand that there is a wide variety of modules under the wicketstuff banner, and ensuring it is all compatible is not really a single persons task, but given the 1.4.7 naming it does sort of seem that an attempt to keep the modules inline is being aimed at. The counterpoint to keeping up to date is that its potentially misleading that a module looks to be mature (1.4.7 looks mature to me) when it might have only been in existence for a few weeks. This question is not really aimed at anyone, and it may have already been discussed in other posts, if so please set me straight . In any case its just a thought..

arbcombo -- New Report -Warming climate means harsher smog season for California

Scientific study illustrates future 'climate penalty' for air
pollution cleanup efforts.

Release #:10 - 45
Date:07/21/2010

SACRAMENTO - In a new report released by the Air Resources
Board, scientists from the University of California at Davis
and
Berkeley estimate that rising temperatures from climate change
will increase ozone levels in California's major air basins.

The study also predicts that peak concentrations of dangerous
airborne particles will increase in the San Joaquin Valley due
to
the effects of climate change on wind patterns.

"We already know that climate change will bring us increased
forest fires, shorter winters, hotter summers and impact our
water supply," said Mary D. Nichols, ARB chairman. "Now we have
scientific evidence that higher temperatures are hurting our
lungs, too. To protect public health, we need to take
cost-effective measures to slash greenhouse gases now and
continue to ratchet down all sources of smog-forming emissions
and harmful soot and particles"

-- NOTE: Online version of this press release has a graphic
that
illustrates the study's expected ozone changes in the South
Coast
region due to climate change. Areas in orange and red could see
ozone concentrations elevated by nine to 18 parts per billion.
Online version is available here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/newsrel/newsrelease.php?id=145 --

The new study provides evidence of what is becoming known as
the
'climate penalty', where rising temperatures increase ground
level ozone and airborne health-damaging particles, despite the
reductions achieved by programs targeting smog-forming
emissions
from cars, trucks and industrial sources.

Authors of the study found that California could experience as
many as six to 30 more days with ozone concentrations that
exceed
federal clean-air standards, depending on the extent of
increased
temperatures and assuming criteria-pollutant emissions in
California remain at 1990-2004 levels.

"Our study reveals that climate change and regional air
pollution are intertwined problems," said the study's lead
author, Dr. Michael J. Kleeman of U.C. Davis. "We must
consider
climate change and air pollution together as we plan for the
future."

The researchers predicted the effects of climate change on
California regions by merging the results from large-scale
global
models with detailed models for the South Coast and San Joaquin
Valley. These narrow-focused models utilize high-resolution
information about the geography, meteorology and emissions of
these areas.

Failure in the future to reduce ozone and particulate matter
levels to federally-required health-based levels could lead to
the loss of transportation funds used by the state to maintain
and develop roadways.

On a positive note the study also found that climate change
would decrease annual-average particulate-matter concentrations
in coastal regions of the state.

"California's interests are best served by taking a broad
scientific view of climate change and air pollution together,"
added ARB Research Division Chief, Bart Croes. "Programs to
protect California's public health from the linked threats of
global warming and air pollution need the guidance of the best
science available which is certainly exemplified by this
study."
