On Linux color calibration is off. I have not found documentation on how to fix this in XOrg. Real player is hte only one that displays videos that are not too dark or oversaturated if your on linux.
Real used to be teh AOL of the media player market. Real player 8 and 9 installed spyware and could mess up machine configurations. Recently they repented and supported Linux. On my gnu/Linux partition running ubuntu real is the only player with correct color calibration for my lcd laptop screen. Videos playing would be too dark or oversaturated on any other play but play fine under Windows. Real Player also is alot leaner then previous versions. I will keep the linux version on my machine for now and I hope this release is better than the really bad early versions.
Your right in that it lost alot of credibility and alot has to be re-earned.
Shoot I am going for a job that pays $12/hr. I wish the 1990s were back?
I was going to say any search with monster.com or craigslist show java outnumbering even c++ by a large margin. Its where the market is heading. Personally I find it takes alot of code and overengineering for most work.
But they were just doing their job not piss off advertisers. Later editors were fired for praising Linux and not Vista.
Now we have another extreme where the ad vendors can quote this lawsuit as proof that editors of all publications work for them and a lawsuit for a bad review is in order if you piss them off. Better just run PR press releases as real stories.
This suit can have serious repurcussions for free press more than anyone realizes.
Make and gcc have both improved alot since 2003 when gentoo came out. Today alot of improvements are automatically included and linked during runtime where before you had to hand config files or use flags to have the compiler do it manually. Portage really is not needed anymore.
The FBSD 4.x series rocked and was my favorite before all the good people left the kernel team and the slower unstable scheduler and ports began to appear. I do agree with you for mission critical stuff Solaris remains similiar to past releases and is rock solid though ubuntu linux is fun on the desktop.
However my experience with gentoo was worse than your experience with rh. I remember just simply doing an emerge update would render myself unbootable, break things, and I would take whole weeks to make my system look right.
This was back in 2004 and I heard things are better now. THere was an infamous update that was known to break Gentoos build system supposedely in stable so bad that the developers recommended a fresh install as it was unfixable.
The problem was I would run into the same problem doing a emerge update from the cd I had. I given up and wanted things to just work like the ports in FreeBSD do.
Those days were dark for both Linux and FreeBSD in terms of general stability of most distros and I found nothing stable and switched to Windows until Ubuntu 6.10 came out. Now things just work like they should.
I am aware that is just my own experience with Gentoo and it maybe atypical but I know I am not alone. If you want to praise gentoo talking about its great package system and stability is not one of its strengths. Perhaps trying the latest features are.
That is probably why they are being dropped and they played along wiht Sony so far because they did not want to miss out in case it became standard.
This is how Sony lost to VHS. All the vcr makers viewed them as competitors so they supported VHS. Same with IBM and OS/2 vs WIndows. IBM is a mean monopoly so support the underdog which is windows.
My guess is they pay the ISP more money so the traffic isn't throttled back. The telecom industry has been doing this illegally for years. Remember in the 1990s when there were hundreds of ISPs to chose from? Now how many are left?
I wonder what would happen if the public works water and sewer companies tried to do this? Maybe have 2 year contracts and charge by flush and you must pay a surcharge if you move for money they would lose? Pay it or shit in your backyard in an outhouse?
I view the telecom industry as no different here since the lines are tax payer owned and paid for.
I was promissed by the telecom industry that this would never happen. They told us we would have cheaper rates with more bandwith. Its not like they lied to us just so they could rip us off on tax payer subsidized lines.
The major telecom companies want an artificial shortage and less competition so they can have higher prices and more bargaining power which forces consumers into 2 or 4 year contracts they can't break.
Its disgusting as government is supposed to help competition but instead wants to serve its lobbiests first, mainly the telecom industry. Infact the telecom industry was supposed to be like public works with minimal profits. Now look what deregulation did?
I was just looking for another quote from Reagan in response to someone talking government power and FDR.
Reagan has many similiar believes but remember its congress who sets the budget though Paul would be the big boss of the executive branch of the government. We need drastic government cuts to help keep interest rates from rising as our housing bubble continues to negatively affect our financial system. You can't compete with the government when borrowing money and interests going up are bound to happen.
Reagan was quoted as saying he agrees with many libertarians but its total anarchy without any federal government. My guess is he will gradually reduce budgets and slash like Michael Bloomberg did and year after year and reform the tax code.
Reagan's advisors wimped out in the early 80s with reaganomics due ot hte deficit and the democrats refusal to cut spending. My guess is paul will just fire people if they wont cut spending and go aroudn it. We need to finish Reagan's job.
Jordan and Egypt have no issues with Israel at all and have had peace for years. Why? They recongize their right to exist and after crazy crap like this spewed on hamas TV it only makes the situation worse as children are brainwashed by Islamic terrorists.
Its also worth mentioning he is no way opposed to departments of education and labor laws and the epa. He just believes it belongs to the states.
Did you know its the states anyway that provide most of yoru education funding for your public university? Yet they are highly underfunded and provide more services than the federal in alot of cases. This shows me the federal government is way too big and needs to be seriously cut down reagan style.
when peoples bosses email ooxml ms word and ms excel files waiting back for an answer we can find a sure winner. It will be what yoru employer uses and will most likely be microsoft based.
Many financial instutions have anti gnu rules about using free software thanks to the sco ruling due to potential liability. If the company is sued then the person who chose linux job is on the line. Its just so much easier to pick ms.
Yes it hurt linux and forbes help spread alot of fud to many CIOs who now wont touch it. It worked.
If the market is 5 million vs a potential 15 million its easier to follow the money and its a no brainer.
Most training business apps can be written in flash by a jr programmer or javaFX. Game engine licensing is a different issue. You can license it for a few hundred thousand and just hire some temp game programmers if you have a 5 million dollar budget but dont expect the game makers to develop anything but a license for you.
Only Communist China and North Korea have such interests in implementing technology like this. Hell Bejing already is monitored 24x7.
I remember a quote from Reagan: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
My oh my has that come true. Sadly from the leader of his own party. Something needs to be done?
Why dont we just name windows GNU/Windows because I have mingw installed on it?
There as needs to be a line and calling something gnu means the product itself is gnu is what RMS is trying to say. Linux could exist without gnu just thank you if BSD libc libraries were used as well as numerous free c compilers have been on the net for awhile.
As much as I despise software patents I think this is for the following situation. WHen a software company sues someone that other someone brings their armory of patents to the table and they make a licensing deal on who pays what.
Whoever has the most software patents wins and gets the money or more of it,
So we have a war where companies are trying to patent everything under the sun to protect themselves in case they get sued. Its just defense to prevent them for being sued as they can sue back.
Meanwhile free software developers dont want to pay $5k or whatever it costs to patent a concept or mathmatical algorithm so they are screwed if they are sued. They have no battle chest to defend themselves on.
There is one company that has everyone scared called Intellectual Ventures formed by a former MS scientist who only has laywers on staff. Basically his business model is to sue everyone and since they do not make anything you can not sue back. Kind of scary but good if it will make the industry think twice about protective patents. They have not gone after Linux yet because they have no money but guess who owns stock in the company and who has incredible influence as the CEO was a friend of both Balmer and Gates? You guessed it Microsoft.
I have a feeling they may go after Linux if pressured but we will see.

Wows graphics subsystem is not tuned for opengl and is used for diagnostics only. At least thats true in Windows.

This started during the depression where the states didn't have the resources to help people so the federal government took over and never left.
Israel has a right to exist and defend itself.
Jordan and Egypt have no issues with Israel at all and have had peace for years. Why? They recongize their right to exist and after crazy crap like this spewed on hamas TV it only makes the situation worse as children are brainwashed by Islamic terrorists.
Like FDR who created this monstrous huge government we still have most of today and abused all our rights? How many terms did he serve?
Well the point of the government is to provide services for the disadvanted by having the rich pay for them via taxes.
IF the government can't do this then it needs to be slashed so the states can do their job. Its too big and does nothing.
Its also worth mentioning he is no way opposed to departments of education and labor laws and the epa. He just believes it belongs to the states.
Did you know its the states anyway that provide most of yoru education funding for your public university? Yet they are highly underfunded and provide more services than the federal in alot of cases.
