PulseAudio makes me crazy. On Fedora Core 9. First I had to
remove pulse audio to get sound. [FC9
updates between each sentence here...]
Some months
later I had to switch skype from/dev/dsp to/dev/dsp1. Weeks later I had to switch skype
back
to/dev/dsp. Weeks later I had to reinstall
pulseaudio to make sound work. And now
while sound plays, the microphone is nonfunctional.
Summary: maddening -- every few weeks with
normal updates sound stops working and I have
to spend hours of research and do something odd(!) to get it working at all.
For information on why this is sensible
find out what the Fully Informed Jury
Association (FIJA) has to say.
Another source would be a book on "Jury
Nullification" (horrible term) so
one could get the historical perspective that
in fact the notion that juries
could be limited is
recent (in some sense).
The jury process has many built-in tensions, but
we all know that if we don't bring our
real-world experience and education to the
trial we cannot even understand the testimony...
Yes, Amazon will process pdf into azw for you.
But only if the pdf is internally
marked as copyable.
Some pdf-s are internally marked non-copyable.
I can copy the
'non-copyable'
myself to any of my computers (IMO legally,
all for my personal use, though IANAL) but
not to kindle. That is annoying, I have
several such pdfs I bought and can
read on any of my laptops but not kindle. Fortunately
most pdfs are marked copyable.
Suggesting that slow visa processing began
last November is just silly. That has
been old news for years.
Getting to the US to give a class, lecture, concert,
or to go to school is much much more difficult
than it was before Bush, and before 9/11.
It's really bad for the US, for innovation,
and for everyone, really, but it is old news.
"3. Global temperatures are easily tracked back via examination of ice cores and other scientific methods, back long before thermometers and writing with which to record any observations made."
Hmm. Lots of folks seem to believe that
that a long timescale makes no sense, the earth is just 6000 years old. Discussion of
ice cores won't cut it for such folks.
I despair that anything short
of a mass die-off of humanity
will make an
impression on them.
In large companies there is a tendency to ignore the departure of the real experts in a product and have no one left who knows it well enough to respond quickly & correctly to bugs.
In this case it seems more like a different bad corporate decison though(letting a pdf embed another language). Wait. Maybe I really
do want to embed my C code in a pdf? Adobe!
Feature! Profit!
(mount soapbox) Having every little thing reviewed is
a necessity, not a problem.
Expert and lead programmers need to set
the example by getting reviews. Always.
The tiniest change has the potential for
causing chaos.
Teaching by example
is just as important as producing. (dismount
soapbox)
Lets -hope- pulse audio is better in FC 10.
In Fedora Core 9 I had to uninstall
pulse audio completely to get any audio to work.
(cheap PCI sound card in use).
Not that system sounds work at all, mind you,
even today, for me, in FC9.
I spent a couple hours reading git
doc and still did not understand
how to do simple things.
svn by comparison was trivial to bring up
and use.
Maybe it's just me.
A decent set of documented use-cases is
probably all I lacked, but why do I have
to develop my own?

dazedNconfused is simply using common sense.

buy, not by. I wish I could spell, too.
Me too, but I wish I could by LOTR on it. Lots of books simply are not available at this time (from Amazon).
