Making A Videowall

Posted by michael on from the one-is-not-enough dept.

Ur@eus writes "Zeeshan Ali Khattak has made a videowall using Red Hat Linux, GStreamer and commodity hardware. The solution was made based on the need to create a flexible and cheap solution for use in Pakistani Schools and Universities using commodity hardware. To find out how this was done and some more details, and of course some cool pictures, check out the Video Whale project homepage."

    Now, how about a projectorwall instead? That is something I would like to see. 16 projectors would make a hell of a screen ;)

    But if you do happen to be an asshole, Islam gives you just the right excuse to act on it.

    You can twist Christianity to provide you with an excuse, too, but Christianity takes a lot more twisting. Don't forget that Muhammad always ordered prisoners of war massacred -- usually the entire male population of any place he conquered, and he spent his entire life conquering places, too. Christians have done similar things, but Jesus gave them specific instructions in the Bible. Muhammad did provide such instructions. Islam has a model for their ideal Earthly society, and that model is a medeival version of Stalin's purges. And it's all right there in the Qu'ran. Jesus said to turn the other cheek; Muhammad said "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out." There's a lot of good stuff in the Qu'ran, too, but one of the major axioms of the Islamo-fascist faith is that the only perfect society the world has ever seen was the Islamic world during Muhammad's life and a couple of decades afterward. Their explicit goal is to recreate that society in every detail. Think about that. Think about it long and hard.

    And don't be so stupid as to blame Bush for a recession that simply arrived on schedule; the tech boom years were bound to crash. Any idiot could see that. It was made worse by all the hyper-Libertarian anti-regulation ideology (presided over by a Democrat), but who voted for it? Who voted for the Congress that made the laws? Who kept on voting for them after the laws were passed? The voters, stupid. If you hire a moron to fix your car, it's your own damn fault when he breaks it.
