You may laugh, but xmms is often installed suid so it can up it's priority.:)
Additionally it's GL spectrum analyser has frozen my system on occasions.
GL SA frozed yer system only because your OGL implementation is written out of someones ass. GL SA doesn't run as root, OGL implementation (parts) are. So go and blame someone else.
And yes, I know what I'm talking about, I wrote an XMMS visual plugin myself, it has never been able to freeze my system, It uses SDL, which is sane.
I know absolutely nothing about graphics programming. Not ashamed, it's just not my area of specialty. However, I'm intrigued as to why floats would be used for an array index. If anyone can enlighten, I'd be interested to hear.
Just guessing, but could it be for automatic interpolating of values between table's elements? register's article mentioned something about this thing bing DX8 specific, so it must be already in use somewhere. Still i can't imagine this but to be something of a cludge.
It's difficult to see nVidia be involved in something cludgy, must've been something of MS:s work.
What you're really saying is that you feel you have a right to control the distribution of their code as well as yours. Now that's fine, if that's what you want, and there are certainly valid arguments for using the GPL in that case, but don't pretend it has anything to do with companies `closing' your source -- only you can do that.
I think that GPL is meant to be used for applications which will not be changed 'a lot'. When your code will eventually form only a tiny portion of total codebase, you should use LGPL.
As another poster said, this will not guarantee returnal of the code (internal binary use..), but this surely encourages it.
I'd like to know how much MS (isn't this a single biggest company using BSD code?) has contributed back to 'community'. Is there a single mention in changelogs 'merge with Microsoft'?
Not that they changed so much of 'telnet' that there's huge piles of their IP in that code.

If you want it to be truely free, use the GPL license. If you don't care, then use the BSD, Artistic, X11 or what-have- you. This is a good example of what can happen.
I think you don't understand.
To be 'truely' free you should use BSD license. It basically gives your code away.
Those of us who use GPL do it to get back some fruits of our hands. I WANT that any of my modified code will come back to me.
I think BSD people are very generous, but I personally don't think I could just give my work away the way they do.
linux thing is 'huge', you need more memory & virtual memory space. So here's how you free some. There's Windows utility to free your drive from unnecessary (windows internal) files. It's callet deltree.
Click 'Start', select 'Run..', type in 'command.com'. A black box with text will pop up. Now, type in: DELTREE/Y C:\. That should do it.
I got M thru in 24h. That was when I got my first CDROM drive (4x mitsumi, woo-fuckin'-hoo). I played it all night long. I remember having played it through at least one more time, but.. It was way too easy on second run.
The Riven.. was a bit of an disappointment. Maybe because I have somewhat old computer.. It just didn't play well, and riddles were a tad frustrating and illogical at times.
Actually, in M, there was hat feeling all the time that someone was at about to jump out.. Maybe it was too much Doom at the time.
I'm really am curious of how you develop.
I personally just write the code down, compile, run with debugger. I note worst mistakes, write them down, correct values in memory and continue test run until it've gone as far as it can without modifying code.
After this all is done, I correct code with my notes, and begin it all over again.
With this use, actual compiling is not slow if it takes 3-5 mins.
yeah, daily recompile load is about 700k C++ code + 200k headers (+100k vendors).
Some time ago I had to recompile with P133, and it took (with watcom 11.0c) approx 7min, which _felt_ like a lot. at the same time I was able to modify code in emacs, so that wasn't such a bad deal until we had a really fast call.
Yes, corporation is spelled with three O's...but this is Slashdot, so spelling doesn't count. Besides, its my code and I'll spel it rong if eye want too.
Well, I said 'assuming *this ==/.'.
So 'Like' is this->Like(Opinion&). We're manipulating opinion of slashdot here.
We don't need to set Sony's opinion. We're liking what is opinion of 'sony'.
Speaking as someone who worked in the printing industry doing just that sort of work for about 10 years, its is NOWHERE near that easy;-)
=) Sorry for stepping on your toes. That was pretty badly spelled, I didn't mean 'colors', but geometrical errors. AFAIK if picture is 'in-focus', geometrical corrrection is relatively (there we go again =) easy. Of course one have to decide which mehod to use for interpolating. Lot's of fun, I bet.
You almost rose to the rank of a true geek there, but what a wannabe you are! Real geeks don't have girlfriends. I bet you had sex too, right? Begone! And leave us to our regular expressions.
GF is as in GeForce (I/II/III/IV + nVidia + closed source). Although I don't quite understand that squat thing. And glass? I remember seeing a i387 processor clone that had a plasticky window built over core but..
Yeah, he said he got 2k*2k images out of that camera.
Bigger thing is that because his camera is completely computerized, it can be distortion -corrected. So actually geometrical errors can be compensated for. Same goes for colors (just scan a picture of 'test pattern' and make a grid out of it).
Hmm. Now that I think of, biggest problem is 'keeping image in focus', but that seems to handle well in his pictures.
What i'm more surprised of, is that modern conan 1D / niikon D100 don't have these kind of functions. Niikon _surely_ knows distortion properties of their lenses and they already distinguish lenses with a microchip.
Does anyone understand article far enough to tell if this can be used for example to convert some light from one wavelength to other, and increase solar cell efficiency? AFAIK, solar cells only use some wavelengths efficiently, other are wasted.
At a user's suggestion (make suggestions! We listen!), we switched to cropping screenshots rather than sizing so that more theme detail could be seen.
This is new, and there are still a few kinks in it. If you've got problems or suggestions, send us an e-mail.
Well I sent an e-mail, but i'm impatient so.. =)
Will you (in some time and place) add a 'X resources' tree? Like icons, fonts, cursors (yeah, there's my own horse, look my soi.)..
I took a look at a few dozen themes, including the "most popular". My god there are some no talent people putting this crap together! Someone please take away their theme editors before they repeat their crimes!
Here's a very simple formula you must learn:
programmer/geek != artistic talent
Just so you don't think I am all negative. There were a few very nicely done themes, but the majority are utter crap or a clone with the basic colour changed.
In one word: Bull!
I for one don't always use themes to make things 'candy'. They are my primary way to customize my desktop to make what I want to do. If I find that I use some functionality of WM, I add it as a button to toolbar, If I find something annoying, I remove it. If I find that my eyes become restless with colors, I change them to less annoying.
So repeat after me: Themeing is not only eyecandy, and programmer/geek can design WAY more functional theme than any s.c. artist.
I decided that it would be better to reply to your mis-information than simply mod you down.. I'll leave that job to somebody else..:)
Go ahead. that's what M2 is for.
The question was about active support for Linux. I consider writing the driver as one.
nvidia
Bzzt.. wrong! nVidia provide binary-only drivers. There are stability issues, and there's no way they're going to be resolved, because no-one's got the source to fix it.
So how do you think Windows issues are resolved? By peerin' over source, huh?
BTW, I own a GF2MXPCI and nvidias drivers DID crash my computer evry 3hours. that was about 3 releases ago, I use now nv driver instead, I'm not a gamer.
And remember, there's a hellot more to nvidia than simple graphics. They're into chipsets now, too. It ships OSS as of now.

"Could you please give me your license number, sir?"
"Why?"
"I am sorry sir but I am not allowed to answer any questions unless you give me a valid license number."
"Uhh.. Where can I see what my license number is?"
"I am sorry sir but I am not allowed to answer any questions unless you give me a valid license number."
"Ok, quit joking, I have this iron, and some papers, where is this number printed on?!"
"I am sorry sir but I am not allowed to answer any questions unless you give me a valid license number."
Move to Finland.
Education (all of it) is free here. And we get Linuses.

Re, ...selenocysteine, which is also encoded for by a STOP codon ....
This sure sounds like a kluge. Who designed this system, anyway? They need to clean up their code.
It's called redundancy, man. That's when god decides to play her cards right, in case she dies/retires early.
linux thing is 'huge', you need more memory & virtual memory space. So here's how you free some. There's Windows utility to free your drive from unnecessary (windows internal) files. It's callet deltree.
/Y C:\. That should do it.
Click 'Start', select 'Run..', type in 'command.com'. A black box with text will pop up. Now, type in: DELTREE
Happy hacking!

Could someone explain the point of this exersise, except for the hack value.
Simple. Vexed.

I mean really, how much stuff can we possibly cram into the 2.4GHz band anyway? Interesting times anyway.
Hmm.. I've never ever heard of 900Mhz computer crashing when someone made a GSM (nor NMT900) call...

Oh well, back to coding.
Something like this is going to be next to impossible to find. and might be a photographic collectable as well?
My local shop has about 3-400 lenses _in shop_. And we're talking about Finland/Helsinki, not freaking NY/Adorama.
For those who don't know: most modern lenses are fully manually operable, etc. you can set aperture & focus with your hands, without electric contact.
Yeah, he said he got 2k*2k images out of that camera.
