MPlayer also reportedly has issues with 2.96 (shipped with mdk-8.1). I never ran into any problems, but the configure script issues all kinds of dire warnings.
I actually just finished tackling the same problem for my own 20GB mp3 collection. I wrote a utility that basicly automates the process of spliting the directory tree into CD-sized chunks, since the thought of manually spliiting out 30 CDs worth of tars gave me the willies.
You mean you never got to the 4th level. Here's the secret: After you kill the squid thing at the end of the thrid level, lob grenades into the shadow where the squid thing was sitting. A ladder will appear. This will take you to the fourth level, which is a more techno looking, black and red version of the third. Also has laser robots near the end, where you fight a big face that spits super grenades. Much harder than the squid.
For the longest time I thought all you could do at the end of the third level was thrash around helplessly until the missles got you. Yes, I actually liked this game when I was 13 and still beat it with my brother every couple of years for nostalgia's sake.
What this decision says is that the police don't have to stop a crime in progress. i.e.: They are under no obligation to stop you from getting mugged, mudered, etc. Their job is to investigate crimes and arrest criminals, not provide protection (although they often do). If memory serves, (and IANAL) this was a case where some one was suing the police dept. because some officers witnessed a crime and did not offer assistance.
I had the same problem. For a while, turning it sideways helped. It finally got so I couldn't get it to even load some games. I took it in and it turns out the drive was burnt out. I think they said the optical block (whatever that is - aims the laser maybe) was bad. Replaced that, and no problems since.
If yours is doing something simmilar, I would suggest having it serviced while it is still under warranty.
What you're looking for is Frost. It has a file sharing component, as well as discussion forums. Kind of rough around the edges right now, but it's getting better every day.
3. Priveleges are not rights. The ACLU is currently inventing the constitutional right of Lawyer-Client privelege when non-such right or privelege is given by the Constitution of the US.
Any right not reserved for the government is retained by the people. (paraphrasing ammendment 9).
Just because it's not listed as a right doesn't mean you aren't entitled to it. People seem to forget that the govt. doesn't have to give you permission to execercise your freedom.
If there is not specific constitutional law against something, you are free to do it.
like GNOME 2's new file open dialog, which is an exact copy of the Windows 2000 one
That's too bad. I hate the w2k file open dialog. I don't want to wade through a million folders in order to get to the files in a crowded directory. I wish windows would go back to the old 3.1 scheme of folder tree on the left and files on the right.
Actually, AC at least used to have a karma rating. IIRC, before the cap went up, Rob posted AC's karma rating as being in the low 200s. Obviously, AC's karma rating does not affect postings.
Sorry, it's just C-Tab. Hmm well I'm just using 0.9.5, so maybe the latest nightly is different? This morning's build segfaults for me, so I can't test it out... Oh well.
Actually under linux Shift-Tab works nicely. C-Shift-Tab moves back a tab. Shift-tabbing will not "wrap around", however. That is: if you have 3 tabs open and you are looking at the last one, Shift-Tab will do nothing. You have to hit C-Shift-Tab twice to get back to tab 1. Shift-Tab doesn't appear to work on the Windows version, though.
One problem is that, for digital cameras, most are automatic and set F-stop, shutter speed, and do color corection and sharpening afterwards. You don't want any of this post-processing, and you need to know the shutter speed and F-stop (or their equivalents).
My brother, who is a photographer of the strictly analog variety, tells me that you can get digital backs for most modern medium and large format cameras. However they do cost $10,000 and up and must be plugged into a standard computer or laptop for storage. The advantage here is that you can set F-stops, focus, and focal plane adjustments manually. Like you, however, I don't know a lot about the market so I can't really provide much more info or links.
Yes, I get the distinction. But there is a difference between stoping an object from vibrating and absorbing the sound already bouncing around in the air. I thought dynamat was for stopping your pannels in your car from vibrating due to a subwoofer or whatever. Accoustic foam like you would use in a studio has cones all over it for breaking up the sound waves.
Years ago, when my dad worked at BBN, he said the accoustic engineers there had a room that would basicly null out all external sound. It had nothing to with padding or insulation, it was in the way the walls were textured. He said pretty much the only thing you could hear if you stood still was your own hear beating.
I've never worked with dynamat, so it may indeed absorb sound as well. I was just curious, I didn't mean to sound like I was contradicting the parent.
I'm inclined to agree with you, except that we mostly make use of straight-forward database wrappers. These same DLLs are use by an out of proc service that imports files into the dataabse and does book keeping, and it has never hung. So maybe it's a bad interaction between our code and IIS. I wish we could proove it was a problem with our code -- at least then we could fix the bloody thing;-)
Tell me about it. We have a service offering where each of our clients has a different virtual root under IIS 5/W2k. Right now we are at about 80 customers and at least twice a day we have to reset one virtual root or another because the IIS process crapped out and stopped responding. This is with memory protection set to high (seperate process) too.

Look, if you just wear your tinfoil hat, they can't use your brainwaves to target you. I know I've got mine on.

Come on dude, I could go into contra with three lives and come out with 7.

So what should authors of books do?
I wouldn't consider a java implementation with no native threads and no jit "good" java support.
