English is not a standard language at all. More people speak Mandarin , more people speak Spanish. Spanish is taking over in the US as we speak.
And sure, 'setup.exe', now that is a good 'packaging system'. Dependency hell solved by ignoring dependencies. Good call.
Nothing is wrong with apt/dpkg, I don't know about rpms (don't use them), but if some standardization effort makes the work of people who package rpms available to systems built with apt/dpkg, then that may be nice.
I'm happy and have no problems at all with apt/dpkg. You will not convince me to switch to port, urpm, or whatever tickles you.
Neither will I be able to convince you to switch to apt/dpkg.
That's how things are, and it's not going to change. And that is my point.
I guess then my only defense arguing that it may not be bad design is that it may have to operate in very low SNR conditions? But no, even then, in today's digital world it should be simple enought to make something like that adaptive and/or tunable to much larger variations than that...
It's probable not about the symbol rate, but the carrier frequency, which is often crystal-generated, hence must be specifically designed tunable in some fashion, otherwise is very, very stable.

Why all that newfangled mumbo jumbo? Just order the guy on the controls to compensate and the picture is clear again.
About the keyframes requirements: Given the upper Mbit/s limit in the intermediate storage (on the camcorder or to the sdflash), you're better off storing it in MPEG4 with non-keyframes there, and transcoding to MJPEG or DV later instead of trying to store it in DV at that low bit rate. Ever compared a 2Mbit/s MPEG4 with a 2Mbit/s MJPEG or DV stream? The 2Mbit MPEG4 transcoded to 25Mbit DV will have much better image quality in every frame than the directly recorded 2Mbit DV stream.
Misinformative, as in chinese people do not believe in yin&yang?
When I say that there are people that still believe the earth is flat, then the earth acutally being round does not make my post misinformative, but it makes the people referred to misinformed.
A person that is 120 in 2030 was born in 1910, clocking 94 years old now, and the 30 year old in 2030 is 4 years old now.
What is he going to do to make that 4 year old age so fast that in 26 years he'll look like grandma, and/or what will make that 94 years old not only make it through the next flu season without their vaccination, but beyond that get rid of the necessity of assisted living, love of bingo and driving very slow in very large cadillacs?
Those people will never look the similar on the same day. He's fantasizing.
Not so much 'good luck', but in the spirit of karma, yin/yang, or for engineers 'laws of constant misery', getting hit like that tips the scale such toward the bad-luck extreme that after that you are due a lot of luck to get back to 'normal'.
Right, and the stars make it such that you're not really saying "motherfucker", and that we don't know which word is being said?
Sensoring hypocrisy on TV is bad enough, but now people self-sensor themselves in the same stupid way?
Why would it be not ok to say "motherfucker", but fine to state that somebody is having an intimate physical relationship with their mother that includes regular sexual intercourse? Please don't tell me that that has to become "so****dy h***ng an i*****te ph****al re********ip with their m****r that includes r**g**r s****l in*******se"? Sensoring a word doesn't exclude certain things from being said, and therefore is ineffective.
If you disagree with the use of a word, then don't use it at all, and if you do agree with it, say it like it is and don't star parts of the word out, or beep it. Because anybody with half a brain still knows exactly what word it is that is being blocked/beeped, including the kids that supposedly are being protected by the blocks/beeps. Thinking the beep or blocks will make them not know or use the word is beyond naive. The beeps/blocks will make them curious and find it out, and then purposely use the word more, because the simple fact that it is being sensored makes it interesting/cool/tough to use it. Kids are not stupid.

All very niche markets, but PhD means 'niche' (specialized)... And somebody with a PhD in any area should be able to sell themselves on other related areas as well. A PhD working in their exact specialization is a very lucky PhD indeed...
Well, he did say _that_, but he also starts by saying "Here in the UK, it is actually illegal to attempt to pay for something over a certain price with pennies". Emphasis mine.

You know, perhaps not all water heaters leak that much energy through their outer shells.
Sigh... Why don't the people on/. realize that transportation as a gas maybe obvious but is one of the worst ideas to transport hydrogen, and that there are many other forms in which hydrogen can be transported in a much safer manner, and stil have a much higher energy/weight density than oil?
A lot of 'locals' are networked anyway, so they have a lot of the same programming, so if dishnetworks makes their 'receiver' include a harddisk, they can just transmit the network shows only once and transmit only the local news/ads separately and mix that in with the data on disk to rebuild the 'local' channel...
Of course, a system like that is going to fall apart if there is a major news item and each of those locals switch to 100% of their own custom news coverage... Plus it may add a couple of minutes of lag...
btw, does the law require them to carry the locals in HD, or can they downsample them to regular... because that would mean a total capacity of 6000 local channels...
Everybody knows that it's a well known fact that people who use one of those two phrases are pulling their "facts" out of their dark, warm, smelly, and very personal place called personal opinion.
A good way to see an opinion that is fallaciously being represented as a fact is when somebody prefaces a thought with "It is a well known fact that" or " Everybody knows". Well known and incontrovertible facts do not need to be prefaced by "everybody knows". Everybody just knows them, or they are easily verifiable.
Actually I'll turn it around by saying that it's not the companies spending a lot of money that are needed to make Olympic games happen, but that what you consider a 'modern Olympic games' is a result of the companies spending all that money.
Now, if you think Olympic games are about the fireworks and a city getting cash to build a large infrastructure around the games that they can enjoy long after, you should love it the way it is. If you think the Olympic games are about athletic achievements, you must realize that you can run and jump very well without having to create such a show and without having to build all that brand new infrastructure.
Personally, I think that although it's very nice if the cities organizing such an event can reap such benefits, I still think that for a lack of creativity, the Olympic committee has sold its soul for money.
There have to be ways to finance the event without having to be anal about which brand of soda people walk around with, and without having to forbid athletes to blog, and without selling all exclusive media rights to a single company per country, etc. Just think how much more fun and informative the event would be for everybody if there would be blogs firectly from the athletes right after they win/lose a competition, and if more of the media except just NBC joined in the coverage.

Install that beta on another machine where it replaces the regular KDE (of use a chroot and/or vserver or uml).
KDE is not made to be installed twice.
No package manager will fix that.
What you're saying is that we should all just speak spanish or mandarin, because that is the best way to make language work globally.
Not in real life. In real life you've got person A liking tool 1 and person B liking tool 2, and you'll never convince them to switch.
You like ports, other people rpm+urpm, other people dpkg+apt.
To each its own, and let's make it work together.

Chance may not be self-correcting, but luck is definitely not the same thing as chance. Luck greatly influences chance.

"Guess what, features sell."
Ah, so that is why most people buy the unsecure flying automobile instead of the much more safe plain road version.
Point: Not all features sell, and certainly not at any pricepoint.
