Raw formats are better, smaller, and faster for the camera to process. Plus raw can have colour balancing done to it without quality loss or other problems associated with adjusting images after processing. The exposure can also be adjusted for an image better than if it's been processed into TIFF or JPG, however only small adjustments can be made as you can't add or remove light from the raw data.:)
Nobody uses TIFF unless they have no plans of doing any kind of colour balance on the image during processing, or unless their camera doesn't support raw.
Back before the advent of Mac OS X, my favourite (and for many years, only) development environment was one variety of Unix or another.
Gee, I don't think I'll bother reading the review if the reader doesn't even understand that Mac OS X is yet another variety of Unix.
Napster is long dead, Opennap lives on.

Sure, it's not as big as Napster in its heyday, or even Music City (running Opennap) before the traitors went to other things, but Opennap is still alive and kicking, I exclusively do my downloading from Opennap and Slavanap (ugh) servers.
As someone already mentioned (fairly cluelessly however) that WinMX is "napster like", it's connecting to Opennap servers and they likely don't even realize it.
Lopster and Lopster for windows are two clients I suggest, given your preferred OS (not sure what to suggest for Mac honestly..)
Sure, irc trading has gone on for years, BitTorrent recently, but at least on Opennap you can also chat and have some sort of knit community outside of a Forum.

Yes, I think we have a confirmed slashack.. Someone hacks a slashdotted site so that a zillion people see their hack.
Did you actually read when you did make oldconfig? Go into the USB options and look in the HID section, there is an additional option you must now turn on for ALL keyboard and mice HID.
I checked it, but it would have been pretty easy to overlook.
Hands together for the pat-your-own-back article for Gnome, thinly disguised as a discussion on User Interfaces.
We see this kind of crap all the time, seems that it's usually Gnome, but KDE tends to do it too.. A developer on (name your window manager here) posts a big ditribe about how (this or that) should be written, and behold, (our window manager here) does it perfectly!
Is MusicMatch a Xing derivative? If so, then you have 140 garbage albums in mp3 format.. Xing is a disgustingly inaccurate encoder, it severely cuts quality for speed. Lame is one of the fastest high-quality encoders and is free. And even better, the soon to be released version is going to be 100% GPL code, no more patching!
I'd be a shame to spend all that time encoding your collection and all of the recordings sound muddy and watery!
I also have the video ram specified in the XF86Config file as such:
Section "Device"
Identifier "DV550"
Driver "nvidia"
VideoRam 16384
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
Perhaps you're allowing the server to determine the ram itself?
On the other hand, I haven't gotten anything WORKING so it sucks anyway.. Quake 3 Arena locks up in some of the settings (not even changing settings, just going into them) and also locks up when starting a game (just tried single player mode). Quake 2 resets the X server completely.
I had 3.3.6 with the nVidia server and drivers before and everything at least worked. I did copy all of my *Mesa* and *GL* drivers into backup directories, moved the glx.so module in/usr/X11/modules, as per the FAQ in the nVidia page. Did make install on my already on-disk XFree 4.0, installed the new nVidia drivers, compiled the kernel driver (stub) and restarted X. First thing I noticed was the timing had changed, I had to readjust the monitor a bit.
I've noticed something a few times now, and it must be a bug.. Sometimes the screen will update but it looks like only some of the bitplanes are being drawn. I move the mouse and it all pops out like normal. Anyone else noticed this?
Maybe someone smarter than me can figure out the problems. Maybe soemone can loan nVidia a clue and let them figure out that closed-source hardware and software sucks.
Weird, the second time I figured up version 6.0 things were a little different!
The window was able to expand and Netscape followed which it hadn't before. The preferences suddenly were reflecting changes, although it seems everything is okay with the prefs UNLESS I enter the Fonts section, then I can't get out without hitting Cancel.
Rendering is actually pretty fast, the interface is ugly and slow but that'll be worked on.. I can't seem to figure out how to change the skin, I'd personally prefer if there was a classic skin that looks pretty much like Netscape 4.x.
Anyone know why the first time I ran it things were dog slow and it was buggy as hell, and the next time it seemed okay? Kinda weird.
People have been complaining about the memory usage, but I'm finding it's only about 2M larger in ram usage than 4.7, 31M vs 29M. Granted, I wish it were smaller than that..
One problem remains, Java doesn't seem to be working and the prefs have Java and Javascript enabled. I am using the Linux version so I assume everything was downloaded at once (since there is no other option..)
Cheers to the Mozilla team.. Again, a great project and I hope it continues to improve!
>Well, I wouldn't say that it runs... more like it walks... SLOWLY... after you kick it hard enough...
Same here! Mozilla always has been dreadfully slow for me, I don't have a top-notch computer but a K6-2/300 with 128M of ram should be no limitation to the browser! Netscape 4.7 is MUCH faster for me than this preview (and Mozilla).
I tried increasing the font size.. All the text ran together. I expanded the window to fullsize only to find that the Netscape window stayed the same size, but now was inside of a larger window.. Typing URLs was slow as snot as reported, felt like I was typing on a telnet connection on a modem. Then there are the preferences, which don't reflect changes until you switch to another section (clicking on a checkbox shows no change until you go to another Pref area and come back..)
A modern, full-featured browser would be neat but it's gotta at least JOG.. This preview barely crawls.
Anyone with contrary experience (and try to discount any Mozilla nostalgia. Mozilla is a great project, but let's keep it on a basis of comparing to existing browsers speedwise) please pipe in and tell us if you have an idea why it runs so slow for some and others say it's faster.
First off, I don't understand the sprialing dust theory.. They almost make it sound like black holes are a point on a 2D plane which makes no sense, this dust would have to be collapsing towards the centre, but I doubt it would spiral down as you'd have a sphere of such dust rather than a cone or disk of it like they tend to describe.
Also, what is this crap about a black hole being "inactive" unless initially fed.. I'm sure MSNBC screwed up the wording here, but it sounds like they're describing a chemical reaction between two reacting chemicals; without one there is no reaction. This is crap, black holes are massive gravitational fields and would accellerate matter towards the centre all the time. I can see where after some time the process would stabilize; the matter near the hole would be inside and the matter far enough away would be attracted to nearer bodies. I'm not so sure where the "Before black holes become active, you have to feed them" quote would come from, it sounds misquoted or at worst pulled out of context. Who says the media cares if they get the story *right* anyway. I hope the scientists contact MSNBC about that, but not like they'll care.
This kind of crap is insane, patenting generic non-unique ideas, now the basic look of something? The patent office is going to wind up giving out so many frivilous patents that any corporation can sue over pretty much anything they want.
I remember a popcycle I ate a few times as a kid, it was white and nearly aqua; a blueberry and creme pop. I guess Apple will be sueing them next.
This is why Apple sucks. They sue everybody, here a related story about Apple sueing over the appearance of computer. They won't release any hardware information, they hardball about theme knockoffs here and here. They license and then charge for Firewire.

This is even beyond normal fucktarded shit I see on Slashdot. What a waste of fucking space.
Let's see..
How not to write an article.
Be a moronic smartass! Elude all logic in your pathetic attempt to be funny. Bonus points if you get slashdotted for your stupidity!
