Glad to see that the first amendment is so inviolable...
How the hell is this post insightful? The poster has the wrong goddamn Amendment, unless he's talking about whining all day long, peaceably, without insinuating a riot and/or panic, to publishing his grievances but last I checked this has nothing to do with individual manufacturing of what obviously will lead to military grade 3D printing weaponry. Grow the hell up.
Funny, my math department has to offer dumbed down (i.e. remove most proofs) courses for the engineers, e.g. Matrix Analysis instead of Linear Algebra. Our engineers don't hardly have to know what a proof is.
I'd question your University's quality of education.
The reason to improve MathML support isn't browsers. It's eBook readers that share the underlying rendering engines. Lots of textbook publishers want to use MathML, but without robust, reliable, visually appealing support, everybody has to do awful hacks with inline images or (hopefully) SVG instead.
Spot on. EPub 3.x with MathML 3.0 is vital to work in digital publishing for iOS, Android, etc.
The visible Universe taps into 4% of the total Potential Energy. When we factor in advances of collecting Dark Matter/Dark Energy and smart travel over point A (Earth) to point Infinity you'll discover that most interstellar travel will be jump and wormhole maps.
When Carly Fiorina left HP, it was worth half of what it was worth with she arrived.
While Meg Whitman was CEO of eBay, revenues went up by 200000%.
There is good reason to consider Carly as incompetent. I see no reason to see Meg as incompetent. They are not interchangeable just because they are both women.
Since joining HP, Meg Whitman has seen intricately been involved in every major transaction for HP. Meanwhile, the stock has halved its valuation and the blame game on purchasing has been rampant. She has no credibility in actual technology corporations any more than Fiorino. EBay is a glorified Flea Market.
do you? for average PC applications (browsing the web, e-mail, office documents) 64 bit gives no advantage. for the above-average applications (multimedia creation/editing, CADD, running multiple VMs, ) it's very helpful.
On Debian Linux and I can peg with Flash a stupid Zynga game running past 3GB of RAM. For Multimedia Creation/Editing you bet your sweet ass 64 Bits matters. Then again Linux doesn't have shit like GCD and quality OpenCL built in the OS with app suites that can leverage both and welcome 32/64 GB of RAM with open arms.
Quality drivers, quality OpenCL/OpenGL etc., are coming with all the hard work at LLVM/Clang, Mesa and more. When that shit lands you better believe 64 bit matters and any heavy engineering/scientific computing, to Blender Modeling/Rendering damn well loves it. So does GIMP.
...where a giant company worth billions--just because people in suits say so--is building state-of-the-art data centers around the globe to store crappy photos of mundane activities and asinine conversations about nothing in order to collect data on consumers for advertisers so they can sell them more gadgets to take even crappier photos of even more mundane activities. (And yes, I'm aware of the irony of appearing on television in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out.) Meanwhile the funding agencies that drive the creation of all this technology are being gutted to shave a few fractions of a percent off of the federal budget, Wikipedia is begging users for cash, and NASA had to scrap its shuttle program. Our priorities are a joke.
Its stable its been out over a year, have any distros picked it up yet?
My last annoyance with Debian. 2.4 has been sitting in Experimental and utterly useless without current PHP5 support and much more. I've never seen the purpose of packaging highly visible applications within a distro only to leave them useless for months on end.
LibAV's a badly forked version that's several revisions behind FFmpeg. Plus, this is Debian -- non-free codecs like H.264 are stripped out and are probably really supported by a seperate non-free repository.
I'd rather strip LibAV out and compile my own version of FFmpeg for faster encodes.
Agreed. Debian fucked up Handbrake options, not to mention VLC is a clusterfuck half the time if one uses the LibAV from Debian. Use the Debian Multimedia debs elsewhere and you can that Debian legally unclean but more useful solution.
I could give two cents about GCC compiler Hardening flags. Hell, the only interesting part of Debian is the fact its entire repo is gearing up to be LLVM/Clang compliant. The moment LLVM/Clang can compile Debian, RedHat, SuSE more acceptable Linux based distros is the moment big engineering firms switch the likes ANSYS, Catia, COMSOL, and others away from GCC and give themselves a celebration by welcoming LLVM/Clang with open arms. All of the work for OpenGL/OpenCL in the pipeline for MESA, and Video Drivers are making huge leaps with LLVM/Clang and not GCC.
Sorry folks, but I look forward to the moment FreeBSD 10 arrives so I can say good-bye to Linux. All the work by Intel, Nvidia and AMD with quality GPU drivers and GPGPU stacks for OpenCL/OpenGL are all coming to FreeBSD, as well. It would be truly ironic if FreeBSD 10.x becomes the third largest Desktop OS in the world with Linux continuing to have pissing contests over which DE is best or having 10 DE is better.
Hell, the entire LLVM/Clang stack 3.3 Trunk oozing into Debian is still fucked up and requires an asinine amount of GCC4.7 and GCC4.8 from Experimental to work. That makes absolutely zero sense, but it does.
Instabilities between changes in state produces wave fluctuations, which produces expansion with each change in state that turns into trillons of trillons of fluctuations and eventually an immeasurable number of state changes eventually leading to expansion. It is ironic people of Faith don't question where God comes from as they accept infinite existence and presence as the answer. But ask for an infinite sequence of connections to prove where the Universe came from if not from God.
I guess you haven’t looked at a mass market, popular book in a while. The GP is correct that bold and italics are dead. Put down your Tolkien (and his racist Eurocentric bias) and pick-up some more modern fiction like Meyer. You’ll learn just how out of touch you are if you really think bold and italic are needed for typesetting.
From the nearly one thousand hardbound books I own, including mass market Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, to Textbooks, non-fiction the use of Bold and Italics is alive and well. The Chicago Manual of Style is also alive and well. I leave it to the author of any work to determine its best use for the context intended, and to expect ridicule for it's often misuse.
Yes, it does. Love your narrow test case of OSX, which I have used briefly and not in this context, and don't anticipate using again unless prodded. Try looking at Qt on Windows, Gnome, or KDE, guy.
The guy is right, you are wrong. Native is Cocoa, end of story. In order for iWorks to be native in GNOME it would have its interfaces rewritten in GTK+ with C/C++ and not C/ObjC, and not leveraging AppKit and Foundation Kit. None of these GTK+ and Qt for OS X are remotely first class, native solutions. At best they are newer versions of Carbon. They expose as little as humanly possible to the dynamic runtimes required in OS X and call themselves native.
Apple has pissed off all the other CE manufacturers. There will be nothing to plug the other end into.
Without general support great features are worthless. Apple is repeating Sony's mistake with betamax. They won't share, thus it will fail.
Great technology without support is worthless.
Don't own any professional equipment or work within the NAB world? Do some more research. More and more manufacturers are jumping on-board.

Maybe this thing does just divert a nominal amount of power from the engines and have water cooling, so it can fire forever. Maybe not.
And how much power does a nuclear powered destroy arsenal carry? Seriously, everyone's an engineer and physicist on this board every time they end up talking out their ass. Please just shut up, research and get ready to be humbled.
It's pretty much the best open source video editor out there. It has the right mix of ease of use and functionality - they just need to work on the flakiness. Every now and then when I have need to do video editing, I've looked at the alternatives, and Kdenlive - crashes and all - is the only thing that ever actually does the job.
The commercial Windows based editors may well work a lot better, but I'll never know, because I'll never use any of them.
That's not saying much seeing as any one with a brain and some cash working in video editing, compositing, etc., are embracing Final Cut Pro X, Avid and the others. They sure as hell won't touch this product until it's on par in it's like as Blender is for the 2.68 release.
I agree, the need to compile is a big time sink. Hunting for a missing brace or dollar is just horrible. I and many people I know (all long time users of LaTeX) switched to using LyX and only exporting to LaTeX for the final formatting (e.g. using a journal's style guide). Unfortunately there is no quick fix for LaTeX: the power of the language means that gui's like LyX can only deal with a subset of the language, and yet this power is necessary in order to allow for all the packages that LaTeX supports (and especially to support existing packages).
I'd look in the mirror if you can't manage your count on brackets. Whether it's TeXWorks, TeXShop, Kile or others, and the upcoming LyX 2.1 only a fool would waste time writing anything other than DTP promotion materials if PDF output is your end game, or direct book publishing other than ePub 3.x.

shut the fuck up i'm not a troll, you're a fucking troll.
that software you linked to is not FREE as in speech.
Even Speech comes with a price.
Wow. Then I wonder what service I'm using if not CLink in the PNW? I'm not experiencing the outages so I guess `nationwide' is a bit over-the-top.

they most definitely are.
Keep deluding yourself into thinking it is so.
And all they're doing is coming up with new ways to get you to look at ads.
Whoever said they were the brightest minds? I can guarantee they aren't remotely the brightest of their generation. Not by a long shot.

Keep talking out your ass with setting up a statement solely to bad mouth Apple products. One big rambling pile of shit rant that is easily refuted.
