The root access-stuff was a bug in the installer. It wasn't supposed to run as root, and it didn't have to. That has been fixed in the latest alpha-release for Mac.
Yes, Voddler is based on file-sharing tech quite similiar to Bittorrent and Spotify. (except that Bittorrent doesnt' stream) Read the FAQ! The developers have said that the uplink rate will be throttled in an upcoming release. I say it again: It is in Alpha!
The whole point of a GC is that you don't have to explicitely deallocate something.
The fallacy with that argument in this context is that in many times you want to manage other resources than just pointers and memory. For instance: database connections, network connections, file handles, user interface objects (windows, widgets etc.), and so on. To destroy an object which owns such an object, you still need an extra method call to clean it up, before the object is left as garbage.
Their primary issue is to make software piracy legal, but they are also engaged in *real* political issues: issues on patent law, personal information, freedom from unnecessary wire-tapping etc. Because these secondary issues are being persued by the Pirate Party, I am afraid that the party is inadvertedly casting them in a light of illegitimacy. By making legitimate issues their own, they are making it harder for politicians from other parties to make the same issues their own. Instead of working for a more free, just society, I think that the Pirate Party is in effect doing the opposite: pushing some of the most important political issues away from the agenda of those who could have made a difference.
The 4:3 ratio precedes the television by far. It has been used for movies since Dickson, Edison and Eastman introduced the 35 mm film format in the 1890's.
I read shock therapy is being done using microwaves these days. Somehow the device induces a current to appear inside the brain without having to touch the skin.
A hack that I have seen a few times is to combine the LCD screen with an old-fashioned overhead projector into a video projector. I think that a P3 laptop would have enough processing power to serve as a simple DVR/DVD player without much power/cooling requirements. A good thing with overhead projectors is that they use cheaper bulbs than ordinary projectors. If you are good, then maybe you could replace it with something power-efficient that doesn't require active cooling.
If you are really good.. then.. an extension of the overhead projector hack would be to mount it inside a glass table, combine with a camera and get a multi-touch tabletop. A multitouch extension is coming to X11, so the only software you need to write initially would be a input driver.
Brian Muir is known as the sculptor of the original Stormtrooper armor, and Nick Pemberton is believed to have sculpt most of the helmet.
Andrew Ainsworth's company manufactured the outfit. Of course, there must have been some interaction between these people during the process. Some prototypes were made, and refined. It is possible that Liz Moore (who sculpt C-3PO) was involved, but she died in 1976, so it is difficult to tell.
Andrew Ainsworth's company refined the molds after the production of the first movie to simplify production.
It is believed by fans that Ainsworth kept some of the latter molds, which he when setting up his new business in recent years, modified back to produce casts more like the screen-used pieces.
Some pieces of his Stormtrooper outfit are recast from pieces made by fans in recent years, who never gave Ainsworth permission to recast their sculpts.
If you want a Stormtrooper helmet and/or armor, then there are other "fan-made" armor that is actually more accurate to the original (recast from original screen-used armor), and also of better build and much cheaper.
Lucasfilm is not going after fans making and selling Stormtrooper armor. They are only going after those who are making a high-profile business out of it, like Andrew Ainsworth.
On the contrary, Lucasfilm is often cooperating with a fan organization called the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, which, being the largest costuming club in the world, has a few thousand members owning Stormtrooper costumes. George Lucas himself has appeared at events to meet and greet members and thank them for their appearance. The name "501st Legion" has even entered official canon, given to a group seen in the last movie.
Almost all of the Stormtrooper cosplayers in the 501st Legion bought their armor from one of the dozen makers that exist - none of which has any licensing agreement with Lucasfilm. Licensed armor does not exist.
It is monitoring your life all the time using a built-in camera, microphone and friggin heart-monitor, it is running a proprietary OS from Microsoft, and it has a wireless connection.
I think the slave-themed illustration fits right in, in that context.
Some things shouldn't be networkable. Not networkable. A pacemaker communicates only with the diagnostic equipment. Pacemakers are [i]implanted[/i] under the skin. The only way to interface with them is through induction or radio signals. The signals have ranges measured in centimeters.
This did not happen to me, but to a close friend of mine who works at a college. He does not work in IT, but does most of his work on a laptop. He had got some problems with spy/adware so he decided to attend a staff workshop about computer and Internet security.
One lecture was performed by an old-timer from the Intelligence Community. Instead of talking about the topic at hand, he provided an inappropriate, prejudiced rant about muslim immigrants from the middle-east. He talked about them "invading the civilized world", "stealing our women and making them convert to islam", and "committing acts of terrorism", as if these were traits inherent to islam and all muslims.
Precisely. In the first trilogy, he had his wife and a circle of friends acting like his quality control team, telling him off when he was about to realize a bad idea. He had humility and was working under monetary constraints and pressure from the movie studio. He was also helped by a great number of talented people who produced, wrote screenplays and directed, each making their small contribution into creating Star Wars. George Lucas set the ball in motion, but it was the entire team that made Star Wars into what Star Wars is.
George Lucas wife Marcia had edited all three movies, and even received an Oscar for the first one while George Lucas hadn't. Marcia cheated on George Lucas with one of the contractors that made the stained-glass windows at Skywalker Ranch, which led to a divorce. The divorce was a great blow for GL, emotionally and financially. For instance, it was the primary reason for him to sell off ILM's computer graphics division to Steve Jobs - the company that changed its name to "Pixar". Rumor has it that you will not last long at Lucasfilm if you happen to mention the stained-glass windows in George Lucas' presence. There are also wild theories about the divorce being the real reason behind the "Special Editions" re-edits of Star Wars. George Lucas have for a long time refused the original versions to be re-released, claiming that the special editions are the only ones in existence - even though there have been eye-witnesses saying that George Lucas own personal color-separated copies (that do not fade with time as easily as regular color prints do). Not only do the re-edited editions undo Marcia Lucas' work, the stained-glass windows on Cloud City in ESB have even been digitally removed! In any case, Marcia Lucas - George Lucas primary quality control person, became forever removed from any involvement in Star Wars.
With the prequels, George Lucas wanted to use his "original vision", only that not much of his original vision persisted, and the little that remained in George Lucas' mind was only a very small part of what Star Wars had been created as. There were less real-world constraints this time - there was a higher budget and many things were more easily done with computers. I blame Rick McCallum. He was supposed to be George Lucas "quality control team" this time, but he wasted the opportunity. He has shown again and again that he is a "yes-man", through and through. He has also outright lied to fans, and shown disrespect in other forms. Rick McCallum had produced the TV-series "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles". To me, Episode 1 feels exactly like that TV-series.
In my experience with the previous revisions of Opera 9.x, the browser chokes completely on individual elements on a web page, if the server for that element is slow to respond. This gets more of a nuisance the more pages, tabs and windows you have loading at once. This program design flaw slows down the browsing experience considerably if you like me, use multiple windows. Sometimes, I have just xkill'd Opera and restarted it, because that was faster than waiting for it to respond to me clicking the "back" button.
I often use goto's like that. People who are not do usually not understand that this is beautiful, structured code.
I often use it when I have done a search through a complex data structure and do the goto when I have found what I'm looking for.
Something I dislike in Java, is that you must have a statement after the label... instead of just a closing brace. Silly.
There is no such thing as an "X11 menu bar". Menus are implemented by various "tool kits" on top of X11, and only a few of them allow the menu bar to be there, each toolkit being incompatible with the other (of course).
It is not that fast. Try using it with multiple Opera windows open (I wrote "windows", not "tabs")
and watch it grind to a halt every so often. Have a network monitor open at the same time, and witness how Opera halts loading in all windows until it receives a new packet for one of its windows.
You could also argue that a huge part of the Chinese emissions are the fault of the people in the Western world. We want cheap goods, but we have stronger environmental and safety laws for manufacture of goods over here than they have. So before start blaming the Chinese, we should stop buying their stuff. It's the only control mechanism inherent in capitalism.
I don't agree. The font "blurring", or rather the general blurred-out appearance of OS X is one of the main reasons why I ditched OS X alltogether and installed Linux on my Mac.
I am now using Opera using Freetype to render text with correct hinting, and I am no longer getting eye-strain.
I would have been surprised, if there hadn't been riots.
After the previous riots, Sarkozy put a lot people off with his behavior. I would think that most of Segolene Royal's votes were not in fact votes for Royal, but against Sarkozy.
