In this video you can see how some advanced techniques for doing these special effects work. Facial expressions can be changed with a parameter and entire faces can be replaced and made to follow the movements and expressions of the original face.
In fact, Qt is only required for the search client that is shipped with Strigi. With DBus support writing a client based on the GNOME libraries is peanuts.
The universe now contains the desktop search with the fastest file-indexer: Strigi! This is a huge improvement over Beagle in terms of resource usage and with the added ability to search for files no matter how deeply nested in packages, archives or mail, it's clearly the best file searching tool for Linux.
I've heard some core KDE devs complain about it so maybe it will return. I'm not that disturbed about it that i'll harass them about it. I'm amazed that Q[HV]Box did emulation.
The combination of fast, good looking Qt widgets, the clean way of writing applications with Qt and the ease of coding that java and Eclipse offer make for a very attractive platform for clean and fast development of graphical applications and great alternative to pure java or mono applications. As long as the Qt library can be easily distributed with the applications that use it, the fact that you're more than one framework should not be a problem.
If version 6 of java will not bring the improvements to the GUI that are promised, Qt + Java is a very attractive alternative for crossplatform development.
Personally, I like Qt's widgets a lot (even though version 4 has a few funny regressions) and the logic used for building the GUI is much nicer than what I know from Swing and AWT. I wish the trolls the best of luck and hope that KDE and free software in general may benefit from this development.
could be just what we needed to convince some regular people to give Linux a try
Last easter I demonstrated the Kororaa Live CD with XGL to friends and parents and only the geeky onces were impressed. The 'normal users' did not see any value in wobbly windows. They were and still are mainly scared of any computer system that is not windows.
Yes, Opera stayed the same but GreaseMonkey changed. I considered GreaseMonkey support more important and changed the script accordingly. I wouldn't be very hard to port the script to Opera though. It's just a hassle and I don't need it. Feel free to fork the script though. You wouldn't be the first.
Researchers in Kentucky performed the following experiment: they dissolved soap and oil in water creating an emulsion. Amazingly it was found that the similar amounts of soap molecules ended up around groups of oil molecules. "I reckon this proves that soap molecules have notions of fairness, democracy and property," said the leading researcher of the group, "they were able to divide themselves up equally around the groups of oil molecules.". They found that similar results were obtained with a variety of ratios of soap to oil - whatever scheme was chosen the molecules always divided themselves up fairly so that each oil droplet had the similar amounts of soap.
Even more significantly the researchers showed that this equilibrium was dynamic. If two droplets merged, soap molecules would leave the new droplet to migrate to another droplet It's not always the same soap molecules that stay on any particular droplet. This demonstrates that soap is actually smart enough to be able to spread its cleansing ability equaly among the oil.
"This could revolutionize thinking about soaps," claimed the researcher.

That is a very sick comment!
I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know there would not be another big GNOME update.
Does it handle text search with wild cards? What is the search syntax?
Can we download the code (what language)?
Try installing the 915resolution package. Then restart X or reboot and the right ratio might be detected.

For those of us outside of the US: Anheuser-Busch is a brewery conglomerate, probably a bit like Bavaria.
Will it have desktop search like Strigi or Beagle? As Strigi developer I'd be interested in porting it.
Yes, No, and Do not know
are insufficient. It should be:
Yes, No, Do Not Know, and Do Not Care
This is old news: Linus is a Hero
Of course, we can't say it enough.
In related news, Richard Stallman is a Hero.

Heck, I may strongly consider contributing to such a project.
Why don't you check out Strigi? It's written in C++, runs as a background daemon, can index files recursively and is light on your RAM.
Here's an ODP presentation (pdf) about it.

E.g. the disappearance of QHBox and QVBox. They were used a lot.
Make that 15%.

Yes, the authors email is in the code. It's true that the script does not work with Opera any more because the api's diverged too much.
Yep, and this is the most useful script for it: QuickGallery.
