1) Many other sites on the web were streaming with Flash-based players. 2) MPEG2 and 4 can be streamed. They were kinda designed for that. Who doesn't have a media player installed that'll do MPEG4?
Seriously, I'd *really* love for Adobe to move their SWF devs to the gnash team. While gnash may be less capable, it has yet to crash or hang Firefox in the month that I've been using it. Adobe's plugin screwed FFox at least once a week.
and I'm pretty sure that if he wants the ability to save offline that he will lose all his current saves in the process of switching to an offline profile.
This port keeps looking crappier and crappier. Thanks for the information!
I can search and cross reference content MUCH faster than diddling around with some PDF or whatever on a laptop.
For me, KPDF's smooth scrolling incremental search is -hands down- the best search of any PDF reader. If the KDE team would a add HTML named anchor-esque bookmarking feature, and freeform persistent annotations and highlighting, then they'd have a *really* killer PDF reader. Heck, while I'm asking for ponies... it'd be *REALLY* super if it could make reasonably functional hyperlinks out of the TOC from a poorly-constructed ebook.
Here's a server that never gets shut down: 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 559
Now, *this* is interesting to me: === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0
Notice that the "value" seems to be greater than the threshold, but SMART still claims that this drive (from my server) is healthy. I bet that there are a lot of misconceptions about the data from smartctl.
Given that this Load_Cycle is described by this guy as "Number of cycles into Landing Zone position", I really can't see how this number is *really* significant. The armature flies allover the drive allthetime. I'm calling this a tempest in a teapot.:D
Is the creation of an offline LIVE profile part of entering the codes into the offline machine from the online machine? Or is that *yet* another round trip through the sneakernet?
The original coder fucked up when he wrote these functions. Among the many bugs: * MakeCoffee() actually makes very strong tea. * SexGirlfriend() is dirty and tangled, and uses deprecated methods. I decide to replace the guts of each function while leaving their signatures the same. This makes my code a drop-in replacement for the existing executable.
Your claim is that while I may have entirely rewritten the body of each of these functions, my work is still just a modified version of the original code?
Agreed. Trolls and other such folks really suck. A cursory reading of this article leads to the understanding that it's a "Stupid Human Tricks" story, rather than a "Busted Operating System" story. How anyone could miss that is beyond me.
Your response is typical of the "you should have just figured it the fuck out yourself, you idiot," response
Calling a professional for help is now considered "figur[ing] it the fuck out [for] yourself"?
...your dreams of widespread adoption.
Who are you talking to here? I use Linux 'cause I like it. I don't give a flying fuck if anyone else uses it.:D
I expect the end result to be crap much like Speed Racer.
IDK about you, but I watched all of the Matrix trilogy. After seeing the last two movies, I knew exactly what to expect from Speed Racer; mindless action with tepid attempts at drama and scene after scene that oozed style. Speed Racer delivered. Speed Racer is not a *good* movie. It's shallow, predictable, and full of discontinuities. However, until the last five minutes or so (when the Racer X backstory is *painfully* explained for the dullards among us) it's pretty entertaining and very stylish. YMMV.

The AwesomeBar makes this SOOO fucking true!
Oh, but does it download "other background data"?
I thought not.
*facepalm*

Either that, or he's using Flash 10 on Linux. :)

Silverlight 3 will be adding MPEG-4 support, this year, FWIW.
How far behind will Moonlight be?

This is a laptop and has always had a 2.5" drive. :D

Make sure to create an offline LIVE profile,

Thus, if the attacker has physical access to your box, you're screwed!
So, lemmy see if I understand you:
I have an OSS codebase. It has a couple of functions:
MakeCoffee()
SexGirlfriend()
WashCar()
PrintMoney()
The original coder fucked up when he wrote these functions. Among the many bugs:
* MakeCoffee() actually makes very strong tea.
* SexGirlfriend() is dirty and tangled, and uses deprecated methods.
I decide to replace the guts of each function while leaving their signatures the same. This makes my code a drop-in replacement for the existing executable.

^R is a really nice shortcut for :red

interface with certain standards...
Specifically?
Wrong.
You are completely incorrect.
I installed Gentoo on this machine in May of 2008. From what I can see, whatever bug you ran into may have already been fixed.
# smartctl --all /dev/sda|grep Power_Cycle
12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 1092
Moreover, Steam ships bits. The shipping cost is essentially zero. The only reasons to *not* ship a Steam product are political.
*bliiiiiiiiiiiink*
I am so sorely disappointed by the GTA IV port.
Is there *NO* offline mode at all? Are dial-up users completely SOL?
Build the STEAM API into your console and everything is already handled - friends, community stuff,
Heh, *most* of the time.
*grumbles about random L4D friends-who-are-not-in-a-game-but-really-are weirdness*
Still, it's much better than when Friends was eternally busted ~3-4 years ago!
Heh. The solution is simple: "Upgrade" to a Business Plan today!
Crypto guys have known how to create secure, customer-verifiable, anonymized transactions for decades.
I wish that I understood where the cypherpunks went wrong.
Meh. OP might also be talkin about "on resume from S2RAM and/or S2Disk"
Ain't Slashdot grand? :D
