still waiting for GEGL and/or 48bpp support

Beginning GIMP
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
I love GIMP, but I am still waiting for GEGL and/or 48 bits per pixel (16 bits per channel per pixel) support. I conduct scientific research and the thought of trowing away extra data to work in the 24 bits per pixel space is unnerving. I mean most digital cameras support 48bpp pictures now using the RAW format which is supported by linux.
MediaWiki (a la Wikipedia) has reat revision control for HTML and image content. I use it for almost everything (thesis, wedding information, blog). It's also really easy to use!
how about instead of storing our information we have some sort of password (credit card number, ssn, etc.) that gets encrypted and all we have to do is match the code (obviously not sha1, maybe sha1024). Then there is a big book of codes that everyone can see, but only the individual knows the pass.

He has proved what is known to specialists in the field as the `level-1 case of the Serre conjecture.' In earlier work done with the French mathematician, J.P. Wintenberger, in December 2004, Dr. Khare outlined a two-part general strategy to prove the Serre conjecture fully. The present result is a first key step.

I know everyone is unhappy about it, but don't burn your bridges with insults or by playing the blame game!

OK lets get down to it. A few facts:- - I am extremely sad to report, that I have just found out that, TB, as we know it, is DEAD. - The full reason why Rb choose to close down is still not yet known - Rb was "on holiday" when the site went down, and is in no position to put it back up again, or explain anything, until he gets back - There was a Ddos attack - After the site went down!
One more fact:- Nobody, REPEAT, nobody, except Redbeard knows what Redbeard is planning to do.

"Before, such mutant genes were only found in Caucasians. The finding has encouraged us to do further research in China, with the aim of developing medicines to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS for different races," said Zhu
It would have been nice to have an original unencoded piece and rate it against the masses. That way we'd be sure the listeners weren't picking up on a mastering problem that is muffled by an encoder.
At the IMDB site it shows that John Malkovich is playing Humma Kavula. My labmate had no idea who this was so a quick google search gave us this site and we learn:
Joining the cast set to start shooting the movie of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy in London next month is the acclaimed actor John Malkovich. In a slight twist to the original concept, engineered by Douglas Adams in creating the initial draft script for the movie, Malkovich will play a crazed missionary, living amongst the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle Six, called Humma Kavula. The script for the film went through at least two other writers hands after Douglas's death in 2001, so only time will tell how much of his original concept will survive the trip to the silver screen.
This character doesn't appear in the books. I was wondering if anyone knows how Humma Kavula works into the story.
What about the more common question: "what is Scribus"? The uninformative summary doesn't help; neither does the slashdotted site.
From the website:
Scribus is a Page Layout program for GNU/Linux®, similar to Adobe® PageMaker, QuarkXPress or Adobe® InDesign, except that it is published under the GNU GPL.
With the release of Scribus 1.1.6, Linux and Unix desktop users have a user friendly, but powerful Desktop Publishing application capable of a broad set of DTP needs. Started with humble beginnings as a Python program to make menus, Scribus has been transformed into a young but rapidly maturing DTP application with numerous professional features, as well as some unique capabilities. Already, in use from everything to club newsletters to small newspaper production to animated interactive PDF presentations a la Power point. or Open Office Impress. Other uses are creating corporate stationery and brochures, small posters and other documents which need flexible layout and/or the ability to output to professional quality image-setting equipment.
While the goals of the program are for ease of use and simple easy to understand tools, Scribus offers support for professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, sophisticated "press-ready" PDF creation, EPS and PDF import/export and creation of color separations and optionally very complete ICC color management - thanks to littlecms, the first for an open source application.
Scribus supports many major graphic formats including most all of the standard ones used in DTP in addition to SVG import and export.
Printing is done via its own internal level 3 PS driver, including support for font embedding and sub-setting with True Type, Type 1 and Open Type fonts. The internal driver fully supports Level 2 Postscript constructs and very large set of Level 3.
PDF support includes transparency, encryption and a large set of the PDF 1.4 spec including interactive PDF's form fields, annotations and bookmarks. No other application is capable of producing such a wide range of PDF features on Linux, Unix like operating systems.
The file format is based on XML and fully documented. Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents, may be partially recovered with a simple text editor - sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs.
When run with KDE 3.x, Drag and Drop is enabled, as well as inheriting KDE style plug-ins. Thus, for example you can drag and drop from the desktop to the pasteboard easily. There is a drag and drop scrapbook, which can contain frequently used items including text blocks, pictures and custom shapes.
Currently, the most recent version 1.1.6 of Scribus supports Open Type, True Type and Type1 Postscript fonts.
My understanding is that Keith Packard (had guy right now) had griefs over the approx. lifetime membership in the xfree86 project. The xfree86 blocked new developers from coming on and kept old uninterested developers onteh staff. Keith wanted the whole system to be more open and that is why he forked. This is his method for the new system.
The Nvidia driver is *not * open-source, although the company has allowed an open-source driver to be developed. AFAIK The open-source driver (NV) was created by Mark Vojkovich and he maintains it himself. *This page is not for that driver. * The new proprietary driver from Nvidia is easier to install than prior versions as Nvidia has shifted to a single file for installation. They have attempted to make the setup as simple as possible with the installation script attempting to determine which kernel version you need. This has helped a lot but there are still some common problems. The best place to look for information about the Nvidia driver is Nvidia's website.

In summary, he says 50" is the magic number. If you want a TV >50", buy a projection TV, if you want a TV 50" buy an LCD.
It is important to note the resolution of any Plasma or LCD you buy. For my money buy the LCD.
Please see this chart before making such claims. It is only the second electronic computer but the first programmable electronic computer.

Are we talking Iris or Retina here?
Because I've never heard of using the Iris and don't know anything about its uniqueness. Where the retina is easily scanned and heavily researched.
Anybody know more? or is this a typo?
how about instead of storing our information we have some sort of password (credit card number, ssn, etc.) that gets encrypted and all we have to do is match the code (obviously not sha1, maybe sha1024).

It was proved in 1995 by English mathematician Andrew Wiles.

I don't follow the field close enough to know its relation to Serre's multiplicity conjectures.
He has proved what is known to specialists in the field as the `level-1 case of the Serre conjecture.' In earlier work done with the French mathematician, J.P. Wintenberger, in December 2004, Dr. Khare outlined a two-part general strategy to prove the Serre conjecture fully. The present result is a first key step.
